Y'all ready to talk Week 8 DFS? We have a couple of fantasy contests going on this week, so let's get prepared for those by first kicking off with how we did last week. Quinten you've joined us again, so let's jump right in.

Yeah, it was a wild week last week.

Yeah, last week. Okay. I steered us wrong. I'm going to just take responsibility for this. And I was saying no, no, no to that Falcons and Seahawks game. And I should have been in on the Seahawks, but I wasn't in on either side of it. And I misled us. And then Andy Dalton was just bad. And there was just a lot of bad last week.

also just kind of felt like an example of the season. You know, a lot of injuries. Um, we saw really low scores from the wide receivers. There's only one wide receiver on Sunday that had over 20 points, which is the only time I can remember that happening. It felt like all of the touchdowns were going the running backs way. So you had these massive games from the running backs, but you can only play three max. So, like even in this winning lineup, we can see they had a running back in their flex spot. And this week's kind of the project in the same way where I wish I could play four, uh, like the receivers, but it's really just feels like shots in the dark trying to get your receivers out there.

It does. Yeah, it's crazy.

And 177 total for the winning lineup is low, right?

It is very low. Usually, I mean, we've seen 240 before, which is high, but usually I would say right around 200 is what you're shooting for. And to be down to have a winning lineup at 177 is crazy. I would have never bought into this one. There was no way you were going to get me to go for Russell Wilson. I was just wrong on that game as well.

it is interesting in that winning lineup too, cause like the wide receivers I can think of that had pretty good games, like the star wide receivers, Jefferson, uh, Amun Ra, didn't have either of them, just kind of had pickings with the stack. And then enough from McLaurin and Addison to get by.

Yeah. It's surprising. He had McLaurin there with the injury to Jaden Daniels, even doing anything.

All right. so do we just kind of take that week, put it behind us?

Yeah, I think we move on. That was a bad week. It's been our only losing week. So there it's done. It's over with we're moving on to week eight and we hope for higher scores. We've got a lot of lopsided. Point spreads coming up this week. Let's jump in reviewing the games. Uh, our first game is green Bay at Jacksonville and green Bay is favored by three and 49. confused by this game. 49 seems really high for any game that Jacksonville is involved in. I can buy into green Bay running away with it, but there it's still only a three and a half point spread. What's going on here? Anybody got an idea?

the only way it gets there is if Jacksonville's scoring some points in garbage time to hit that over. Because I see Green Bay rolling, you know, Jacksonville's coming back from overseas, their, their vacation in England. And I really just want pieces on the Green Bay side. You could take a dart throw at Brian Thomas Jr. He's a great. He's top five in wide receiving yards as a rookie, but he's about the only one that I'd be willing to invest in. Even though Tank Bigsby looked great. I think that was more of a result of playing New England. Um, but there are a bunch of options. The tough thing with New England or, uh, Green Bay is just trying to find that right piece. They've got so many people that they spread the ball around too. So who's it going to be this week? Lauren, do you have any, any of your favorites on the Green Bay side?

I honestly, no. Just because it spreads out so thin, I, I can't, and I, I haven't been good at picking one, and picking the right one. It seems like a carousel, well, where I'm one off. So maybe, whichever one I want to pick, don't pick that one.

I think I kind of lean. Just taking Jacobs, uh, the running back for that heavy favorite, and getting out of there.

What about Tuckercraft?

He's a good option, but I think, um, as we'll kind of bring up later, we've actually got a couple, we've got a deep pool of tight end options this week.

I think so. And I don't think Green Bay needs to use Tucker craft this week. I think it's a little bit easier going against Jacksonville and they can do kind of what they want to. I do like the Brian Thomas junior angle on there. I, I. It hurts me to go to Trevor Lawrence, so let's just move on. Cause there are some other games I do like better than this one. And Jordan loves expensive at 8, 900. This would need to be a competitive game. And even though it kind of seems like Vegas thinks it might be, I'm not buying into that.

I think Jacobs has looked pretty good. I can see them getting out to an early lead, and just kind of feeding him the ball until it's over.

I can see that.

So are we doing any stacking from the next one then? The Philadelphia at Cincinnati?

This one's definitely interesting. Um, you kind of have to pay up for the options. I would say these are probably your most expensive stack stacks on the slate with, uh, Hertz and Brown, or if you want to go Smith to replace them, save a little bit money and then burrow chase or Higgins you have, I mean, you've got four elite wide receiving options in this game,

I like the burrow and chase. Uh, I definitely like the Burroughs stacks a little bit better than the Eagles side of it because Jalen Hurts is 8, 600, Joe Burroughs 7, 700, we at least get to save a little bit because A. J. Brown's 9, 000 and Jamar Chase is 9, 200, so you better save something somewhere or you're not going to be able to build an entire team. You could go T Higgins 7, 500. I don't hate T Higgins as well.

Yeah, I think this is just a hard game to commit to.

yeah, I don't like Philadelphia enough to spend the money there, I think.

It's been hard. They've had, you know, just the, the vibes around that team have not been good. I will say, was A. J. Brown playing last week? I feel like their offense has been significantly better once Brown's on the field and kind of opened up the options. The Giants didn't press them too much to keep up a fight last week.

They didn't. And I think Joe Burrow can do a lot more than the Giants did last week. So we may see this be the game that gets out of hand. I do love Saquon Barkley as well. I mean, they showed last week, Hey, we're just going to give you the ball and you can run with it. But at 9, 100, he's expensive as well. That whole Eagles, Eagles. Team is very pricey. And so when, when they're going really pricey like that, you have to know that that's the player that's going to score. And I have questions around that, you know, is it going to be Barkley or is it going to be Jalen hurts deciding to run this week, or is he going to be passing the ball to AJ Brown? And I just don't feel like. At those prices. That's something I'm willing to commit to. I'm looking for.

feel like a stacking game just because the prices have to, they have to do so much at their cost.

they do.

Are there any remaining parts that y'all like that we should stash away to maybe save some money and pick up,

I feel like since Higgins has been back, they've been targeting the tight end a little bit less. He's been kind of absorbing those targets. I think an interesting way to get away from what most people would be doing would be to involve the Cincinnati running backs. Take your shot with Chase Brown or Zach Moss just falling into the end zone a couple times. But because I think most people are going to leave the lean on the wide receiving options.

I don't like Zach Moss. I'm going to leave it there. Let's move on. No Zach Moss. Zach Moss is my no Zach Moss this week. At least it's not Bijan Robinson, which we'll get here soon. I'm all in on Bijan this week. So let's

Yeah, very different talent levels, I would say.

yeah, I agree. So you'll let me just. Don't, you don't have to talk me into Zach Moss. I don't think, Oh,

I won't push on that. Yeah.

should we chat Buffalo at Seattle?

Yes, we can go Buffalo at Seattle. So bills by three in Seattle, is this reflecting that DK Metcalf is probably out, although the coach this week, early this week said, we're just going to wait till Friday and see if his MCL sprain is better on Friday and decide if he can play. I don't think Metcalf plays in this. And I feel like this line's already reflecting that. But this is one of my favorite games, even without Metcalf. What do you think?

Yeah, I think the weaknesses of each other's defenses kind of match up well to get a high scoring game. Ken Walker has looked amazing this season, and he's just been dominant. We know against Buffalo's defense, you can run all over them. Seattle's been a little bit more pass heavy, but I kind of trust their offensive coordinator enough that I think they'll adapt. And I think Ken Walker will be involved in the passing game as well. So I really like him in this spot. and then Buffalo's just a great, Alan's looked, I think he'll be too expensive to pay up for, but if you want to get different than the field could definitely make up his salary.

Yeah, he's 9, 400. So that's going to be kind of painful pairing him up with somebody. You can pair him up with Ken Coleman and take that risk because Coleman's only 5, 600. So what you're saving on Coleman kind of makes up for what you're getting on Josh Allen. I kind of like to flip this a little bit and we'll assume that the Seahawks are playing from behind a little bit. Gino Smith at 7, 500 Tyler Lockett at 6, 100 or you can go Uh, JSN at 6, 400, either of those. And if you are looking for somebody to fill in and be really cheap, Jake Bobo 4, 300. I, I feel like too, with the Gino Smith and the locket or JSN stack, you could run that back with James Cook on the other side. As well and have that running back. So this may be one of the, we haven't seen one of those stacks where we get the quarterback and the wide receiver and running it back with the, the running back on the other side of the ball. I don't feel like this year.

Yeah, I think cook would need to make sure Alan doesn't vulture his touchdowns, but I can definitely see a world where they can keep pace with each other and you get a good outcome from them. Uh, I think I'm staying away from the Buffalo pass, catching options from Cooper and Coleman just until we kind of get a better idea of how involved is Cooper going to be. Even though he had a pretty good game last week, he only ran like 10 rounds. I want a wide receiver that I'm paying 70 over 7, 000 for on the field consistently. Um, I just don't know. He's still getting worked in. So I'm kind of leaning away from those past catching options in Buffalo.

I'm with you. The only one I can be talked into really is can Coleman. I felt like with Mari Cooper on the field, it opened. Things up for Coleman and the Seahawks defense is pretty beat up. So Coleman, I could be persuaded into stacking with Josh Allen and saving that money as well.

Yeah,

Let's go to Arizona and, uh, Miami. So Miami's favored by three and a half. They're at home over unders 46. And I don't think I can trust the dolphins.

You're not, uh, taking Tyreek Hill's own advice. Did he see in the interview? He told his fantasy managers, start him up to his back. Um, he was asked that in a press conference, but it is hard to trust. The one thing, I don't think we're ever going to see Tyreek Hill at 7, 600 again. That's the lowest I can remember him. I mean, to get an idea of the wide receivers around him, he's in between Drake London and Devontae Smith. So, I like at that price, how can you not take a shot at Tyreek Hill? We know he can go for 150 in two, um, and has that in his outcomes.

So how do you think everyone's going to be buying into this? Is he going to become chalk on the slate and is everyone just sticking Tyreek Hill in there to try to get that? And I think he's a big wild card after his two targets and one catch last week against the Colts. I know he didn't have Tua, but the quarterback Could still pass and he didn't even throw it at him.

Yeah, he had that one deep pass that he wasn't even, it's like the Dolphins just gave up and said, we're going to wait four weeks and then we'll start trying again, but it's been four weeks. So fingers crossed. I do think he is going to be very chalky and going to be very heavily owned. Uh, there's lots of options with Miami. If you want to get different. I mean, Devon A Chain and Jalen Waddell are both very talented players. They're cheaper than they should be if we had had to a healthy all year. So more than happy to take a shot with them as well.

I do like the Devon Achan side of that at 6, 800 or even the Raheem Mostert at 5, 900. I think both of them are going to get plenty of play in this game. And I don't, I don't buy in to this is Tyreek Hill's 30 point game on the first game back for Tua. I just can't get there. I have lots of concerns over to, uh, it doesn't get better than this matchup for him, the Arizona defense isn't great and he's at home. So the matchup is really good for him. And on the other side of the ball, the Cardinals, they can score their own. Points as well. So I do like Kyler Murray. I like Marvin Harrison jr. I like Trey McBride. I like that side being a viable stacking option as well. And they're cheaper. I guess they're about the same, same cost. Kyler Murray's at 7, 800. I don't know what to it's two is only 7, 000 there. There are a lot of inexpensive parts in this game that we're probably going to have to play with. If not, That's the way we go.

Yeah, I think if we had, you know, been blind or just seeing this matchup after the first couple of weeks and saw Arizona against Miami. We probably would have thought it would be like a 50 point over under, and these players would be a lot more expensive. So this is a game I'm willing to do a couple of lineups and go all in on and have to a Tyreek, a Chan Harrison on the other side and just said, this is the game. Um, yeah.

Okay. We'll come back there. I'm still concerned over the whole dolphins thing. I got bit last week. I thought last week they were going to actually try. That was really hard. I mean, even as a Colts fan, the dolphins didn't even try. They were in it. It was a three point game. Um, and. Why in the world with three, you're only down three points. Aren't you even trying to get Tyree killed the ball, trying to get him involved. You're not

You've been doing like end rounds. I was kind of disappointed with their coaching. I've just, get your playmakers the ball. I feel like McDaniels has done, has looked great before, but yeah, like I was saying, it looked like that team just gave up. What do we got next?

Dallas at San Francisco.

Into, to start with, you got to lean for who wins this. I think San Francisco's at home. They're a four point favorite, but they've been limping into these games. I feel like They might not have Deebo, they might not have Kittle.

yeah, and I know Dallas is coming off of their buy and everything, but I, Dallas has looked bad to me this year. so they're in my mind, San Francisco, even limping along is going to win. I mean, yeah, they're going to be figuring some stuff out and maybe, I mean, they might have Mason, which will help them. And if they do have Mason, we saw what Kamara did earlier this year. So very possible to just run all over them again.

I don't think they've let anyone else do that other than Kamara and Kamara hasn't had another game like that. So I'm just willing to just throw that out of my mind. And I'm not going to remember that game any longer. Cause I followed down that path, like way too many times. This year of remembering that Camara performance and, Oh, the next one's going to do that too, and then it doesn't happen. 49ers are very concerning here because of all the players that are one out, Iuke out then questionable and didn't practice on Wednesday was Debo Samuel, who has a pneumonia. I don't think he's going to recover and play in time. George Kittle's got a foot injury. I'd bet George Kittle plays Jordan Mason, ankle injury. Um, probably I would think I would lean on playing Juwan Jennings, their wide receiver hip injury and Chris Conley, another wide receiver has an ankle injury. So are you willing to take the chance on Ricky Pearsall here?

Personally,

and say, I don't like any of the players from these two teams for a lineup for DFS. If I like had to make decisions first at start. That'd be different. But this is personally, this is a game I'm just avoiding.

I'm kind of leaning that way too. I don't really like the 49ers options. Even though they're cheap, I kind of think they're cheap for a reason. You know, we, at the beginning of the year, it was, they had all of these skill positions. Iook, Deebo, CMC, Kittle. And now they might be coming into this game with none of those options. And their offense just has not looked the same. Um, you know, you take out one of those guys and they're still able to function, but they've just suffered so many injuries. And I think with the rest advantage Dallas is going to have, um, get it done. I will say after their bye last year, Dallas kind of got their stuff together on offense and realized that maybe we should just target our best player. a hundred times a game and fed the ball to CD Lamb. So I wonder if we're going to get more of the same after their bye week this year. And so I think that's the only reason why I'd be okay with potentially, uh, DAX CD stack. But, um, that would really just be doing something different than the field taking a shot. You are paying a lot for, uh That stack.

It's pricey with CD lamb at 9, 100.

It is. I like that stack. I like the Dallas side here, but this can be a game that we, we avoid. If we want to. All right, let's move on to Atlanta and Tampa Bay. I don't think I'm allowed to make decisions on Atlanta anymore. Bijan's had two great games. Can it be three? Um, and then Tampa Bay had the rough week last week, losing Chris Godwin and Mike Evans until week 11. And we probably won't get another shootout like we had in week five out of this game again. I still like stacking this game. I mean, Baker Mayfield is still fun, but he's at 8, 000. But if you're stacking him with Jalen McMillan at 4, 900, you can definitely afford that stack. That's like one of the cheapest stacks that we've talked about. And, uh, I think Baker's going to be throwing the ball. Um, Quinn, I think you said when we started that Bucky Irving was ruled out of this game, which puts a little bit more on Rashad White or Sean Tucker. So I like that as well. I like that Sean Tucker for a really cheap option at 5, 500 to take a shot on as well. I

Yeah. They set these prices before the Monday night game where we had Evans and Godwin go down. So you are getting the value on your other Tampa Bay options. I'm not going to lean on Baker. I don't think, I think that offense is definitely going to take a hit, losing their number two, losing their top two options, but there are some pieces that are interesting. And we've talked a lot about the expensive wide receivers, expensive running backs that we like on this slate. So these are good kind of. Puzzle pieces to work in that you're saving money. You know, they're gonna be out there a bunch and have the opportunity to succeed I'm kind of leaning towards Rashad white just because his calling card is that he's been heavily involved in the passing game I think Baker might get him even more involved in the passing game without the top two options and With Bucky Irving not there to kind of steal the touches I mean, Rashad White, I don't think has ever been that good of a strict running back, but he's a good wide receiver, um, and he's going to be on the field a bunch.

agree. I, I also really love Kay Dotton at tight end here.

Mm hmm. He should be seeing a bunch of targets. I think he saw 10 targets last, last week.

We got to talk the Falcon side. You've got to like some of the Falcon options here. Can you go with a cousin stack with London at that totals 15, 000? So 7100 and 7900. Do you like that stack? Because I can see this game getting out of hand. I don't know if they already did it once.

I do like London. I do like pits. Um, he's been quietly pretty good for a tight end and just been getting it done the past three weeks as Kirk Cousins has gotten settled. Um, I'm kind of leaning away from Bijon just because I like other running backs on this slate. Um, and think there'll be passing a little bit more. Everyone's been able to pass against Tampa Bay. So taking a shot on London, Mooney or Pitts, I think are all good bets.

I think so, too. All right, let's move on to another one. That's always difficult for me to discuss Indianapolis at the Texans and Houston's favored by 5 over unders 45 and a half. We Are expecting the return of Jonathan Taylor this week and the Colts need him. Anthony Richardson looks really, looked really, really bad last week, but week one, he, he played with a healthy Jonathan Taylor against the Texans. And that is the most fantasy points that the Texans have given up all all season was to Anthony Richardson. So can we expect that to come into this game again? And do you like Richardson?

I like both quarterbacks in this game. I think Richardson is extremely risky, but he's been just so bad recently that I don't think a lot of people in the field will be taking him. So some way to get different and save some money, but Stroud has kind of in his career so far. We don't have. Too many games on his career, but he's just bullied bad defenses and especially every single game against the Colts. He's had a great game I know as a Colts fan that it's frustrating. I think he's put up about 300 yards every single time. He's played the Colts and Stroud is a little bit expensive still so if Stroud's gonna put up his 300 yards, I kind of lean more towards the wide receivers should be a good value. Tank Dell, um, I liken the spot at 6, 900. And then taking your shot at Alec Pierce, catching three passes for his 120 and a touchdown.

Yeah, um, I like paying up for Joe Mixon at 9, 000. They are loving Joe Mixon, and this could be a game where it's not all on Stroud. Just like the last, last week, and we see Mixon have, you know, yet another incredible game. So I do like that option.

he had about 30 carries

Yeah,

couple touchdowns. So especially at home,

all, all good on going back there. So we could stack Anthony Richardson at 7, 300 with Alec Pierce at 5, 800, Joe 000, we can even bring in Tank Dell at 6, 900. And I got to tell you so far, that's probably my favorite. And I don't think I usually go in on Anthony Richardson.

I think you, I don't think Pittman or downs are good plays. Like if it's, if Richardson's going to hit, it's going to be the deep passes. It's gonna be the long shots to Pierce and Mitchell that get him over 200 yards.

Yeah. Okay. We've got a couple, we've got a bunch of games that I don't have a lot of interest in. So let's run through them pretty quickly. Tennessee at Detroit. Any interest in this one besides the Lions defense at 4, 000,

Yeah, I think that's the only piece. Tennessee, the only pro of their team is they actually have a decent defense, so I don't think I'm willing to pay up for Detroit in that spot.

What about for Gibbs or Montgomery or are they too expensive or too much owned?

Yeah, I think they're too expensive. The only kind of savings that's available in the Detroit game is with Jamison Williams out, uh, you can go Tim Patrick. Um, and he's, he won't be too owned. I don't think so. He's an option if you want to save some money, there's some good dart throws this week.

Baltimore, Cleveland. What do y'all think

I I'm remembering old Jameis Winston and hoping he can, you know, Chuck the ball downfield 50 times and has somebody to catch it down there. But I'm not really sure that that's what the Browns coach is going to want him to do. This could just turn into a really ugly divisional game. The Browns aren't going to run against the Ravens, not too many run against the Ravens are good against. The run,

Yeah,

just isn't my favorite. I mean, you could stack Winston with Cedric Tillman and take a real long shot there, but I

I kind of like the sneaky stack of Jamis Winston and Njoku and just, they don't, they're cheaper. They don't have to do too much to pay off. And really, I think the only Baltimore Raven that could pay off their salary is Derrick Henry, if they just keep feeding them the ball, I think they should run away with this game. And he's typically a lot better in wind.

is the Ravens defense? Maybe worth picking up.

It's interesting, but I think they're one of the more expensive defenses on the slate, so I don't think I'm going to wind up with them too often in my lineups, just because I'm going to spend my money elsewhere for

5200. They are expensive.

Should we move on to Chicago at Washington?

Yeah.

Anyone in this game that y'all want to consider for lineups?

not not today on Thursday. Um, the big mystery is will Jaden Daniels plays and if Jaden Daniels doesn't play, this isn't much of a game in my opinion.

Yeah. The Bears defense has been impressive to begin with. And if they're getting against Marcus Mariota, I like the Bears defense. To come through and the only other shot that's kind of stood out in this is you could take on DJ more, DJ more uh, Washington. I think he had three touchdowns in their last game against one another. Um, and their secondary still can be beat over the top. So he's sitting at the 6, 600 price line, kind of right in the middle. You know, most of the field is going to

The problem with that is Keenan Allen wasn't there during that game.

true.

So now they have Keenan Allen back and he seems to be getting a lot of the targets that were being spread around a little bit more.

Yeah. Um, I haven't really seen their target share numbers of how DJ more has looked, but I think he's would be the only one that could have the ceiling to. Go off for a tournament play. I

Are we looking at the Broncos defense in the Carolina at Denver with Bryce Young is back at quarterback. Now, I think

think we got to, we got to at least glance and see if we have enough money saved at the end for it.

Yeah. I can't believe Bow Necks is a nine and a half point favorite. That's kind of telling you how bad the Carolina Panthers are. I don't know that it's really much of Bow Necks, although

He's been

kind of interesting. He can scramble and he can run Bonex, so we could see Bonex run for three touchdowns in this game.

I mean, Marcus Mariota just had a great game against this defense and Bonix is at least the starter.

you could get really kind of crazy and go with Bonex, a Bonex stack, I think, in this game, which would Be kind of interesting for sure.

I do

I don't know about stacking him. Maybe just take him.

yeah, the, the reason I have a difficulty taking Bonix, I think he's actually a pretty good value at his draft, his cost, but I just love Javante Williams in the spot. Home matchup, heavy favorite. Which Denver will almost never be again. And he's looked great the past three weeks. So

like Javante Williams and at 6, 000 he is quite the bargain. So we're gonna have to fit him in, I think.

not the week to pick up Chuba Hubbard though.

No, I don't think so.

to the old Carolina days,

Yeah,

we had a couple of fun weeks with Dalton. And now we're back.

we're back.

We're getting to the bottom of the barrel with these games here now with Kansas city at Las Vegas. Kansas City is 6 0, but I don't think Mahomes a bit has been scoring a lot of fantasy points. So I don't know how many people you want to pick up here.

Yeah, Mahomes hasn't been over 17 this season. So, yeah, and he's not gonna need to be to win this game either.

I think I take the under in this game and move on. I don't think

defense. I could definitely play the chief's defense and of all the defenses that we've mentioned so far, this is the cheapest. So I do like that.

Brock Bowers is going to get a heavy workload, but he's expensive and we've already kind of talked about a couple of other options and Kedon and Ninjoku that we think are going to see a similar workload for much cheaper prices.

Can I draft refs from this one? make decisions on what the refs are going to do.

Get points for some penalty yards.

I don't know about that.

Uh, and then I guess Jets at New England, real quick, anyone?

I do have my gym. I think my favorite play this week is, uh, from this game and Brees Hall. He's just too cheap for his salary. And Rogers was specifically calling out the running game. Brees Hall is an amazing talent. And we just watched Tank Bigsby run over this defense. It looked like he was taking the linebackers three yards every carry and Brees Hall has the speed to take it to the house if he gets an edge.

Uh, and he's 7, 900. That's not too bad. We can

No, he's, he's cheaper than James Connor and some other running backs on the slate. So I think he's mispriced and should be due for a good game.

New Orleans at the Chargers, anything here other than the defense and for the Chargers?

That's about it. You can take a shot at J. K. Dobbins and just say the Chargers roll at home, but. There's other options I like, so I don't think I'm going to wind up with Dom in too many of my lineups.

Yeah.

Maybe the defense?

Defense is a good option.

Depending on who, what quarterback is starting.

I think they announced it's going to be Rattler. So, for whatever that's worth, yeah.

Cars still out then.

Mm hmm.

let's do a lineup.

Let's do it. in our 3 contest where the top 50 percent pay and see if we can do better than last week. So Quinten, what are you feeling this week? I called last week, I think, and it didn't work out very well.

I think I've got three players that have kind of stood out to me whenever I was trying to make a lineup, and I'll let you guys pick of those three where we start with. I like Breezehall, Javante, and Tyreek. I know you were kind of against Tyreek, um,

I can go Brees Hall. Let's just go ahead and put in Brees Hall and Javante Williams. I'm good with both of them.

and they're not too expensive. So we do have some flexibility later in the lineup.

And why are we starting with our running backs? Just cause we feel really confident in those and

We

We like their price points.

normally that's not how I start the lineup. I kind of like starting with the stack, but. Those were whenever I was building some lineups. I found myself taking them in every single one. So

They stood out.

them Mm hmm.

Okay.

Okay. So, our stack. Let's look at the quarterbacks and try to go from there. Everyone's like super expensive. So I'm trying to go down a little bit to see who I can find that is more affordable.

There's

leads me to Anthony Richardson.

down at 7, 000 too.

What was that?

There's a quarterback down at 7, 000 as well You got a Tua and Kirk Cousins down there on High high function and offenses or Miami historically, I guess we got to go back to last year for that. But

We do.

I think Kirk Cousins is also too cheap for, I mean, this was his 500 yard performance just a couple of weeks ago. And he's sitting there at 71.

Yeah. And then he threw three interceptions last week.

Yeah,

We're going to him.

we're going back.

We're going back. We already decided Bijan wasn't it? I don't know. London.

Yeah. I like the past catching options.

Or did you want pits? I don't really want to go both of them.

I like London.

Yeah.

Let's go London. How about Cade Otten? Can we take him from this game?

Yeah, I think that's a great bring back.

I think this could be his, his week to be the top tight end.

All right. So what are we dealing with? We're at 6, 400 average here

and we've got Kirk Cousins for quarterback, Brees Hall for one of our running backs, Javante Williams for our second running back. Drake London for a wide receiver. And now we got Kate Otten in our tight end. So two wide receivers, a flex and a defense.

let's go look at defenses, uh, cause I think this is a week that you want to pay up for a defense.

I think your popular ones are going to be the Broncos, uh, the chargers against backup caliber quarterbacks. You also have the Lions sitting there as well. They're at home against Mason Rudolph.

Yeah. I just started at the bottom. I'm just kind of looking from the bottom up and yeah. Uh, I think you do have to go up a little bit here before you find something.

the Bears defense Mariota?

So they're a little bit more expensive. So the lions are going to be the cheapest one that we can play. Let's go with them for now and try to save and see who else we can can pay for. So they're 4, 000. We're going to pop them in and we have a little more savings now. Now we're up to 7, 300. And let's go look at wide receivers. Anyone you want to pay up for here.

I

happy hanging in the 7, 000 range?

with the way we've kind of made the lineup so far, I'd be happy spending the money and paying up for one of the top options, either Chase, Lamb, or Brown. I think my lean for that would probably be towards. Lamb, honestly,

That's who I was going to say. So,

hasn't had one of those dominant

He

Performances yet, and he's too good of a wide receiver to

Yeah.

going.

But now we need to definitely look to save a bit here on somebody else. And we could save with tank Dell. I like that. Or you have somebody or Brian Thomas, Jr. All people that we wide

What about JSN or or Lockett

Yeah, I like Jason's value.

at 6, 400?

what do we got left 6400 and we need a flex. Do you like playing running backs on FanDuel?

I think this Week I do one person that would fit Well, if we're saying that the Atlanta Tampa Bay game is still gonna be a high scoring game It works out perfectly that we got 6400 left for Rashad white

It does work out perfectly. All right. Rashad White it is.

We take the

So we've ended up with Kirk cousins for quarterback, Breece hall in running back Javante Williams for running back Drake London, uh, and CD Liam and J. Jackson, Smith, Najigba, uh, in wide receiver slots, Cade, Otten as our tight end, Rashad, White as our flex, and then the Lions, defense. And that puts us at zero, right? Like, we've spent all the,

We spend all our money. Yeah,

yeah. So,

right. We're going to enter that.

I do think this is a week for all your tournament lineups where you can really get out of the box. A lot of plays might seem very chalky, and like we talked about, Tyree Kill projecting really well and being cheap, but there's a lot of teams that I like to stack with this. So I think even your chalky plays might be lower roster percentage than normal. We've got no bye weeks, and there's a lot of different ways

there are a lot of different ways, even though we have a lot of lopsided games by their point totals. I feel like there's a lot of potential here for some upsets or some more competitive games than Vegas actually thinks. And I, I'm going to have to go after the Indy Houston game. Cause it is one of my favorites this week. And since I never get to say that, I'm either going to be really frustrated or, or to work out. Well,

I do like that take. So if you have any leans on any of the underdogs, keeping it competitive, maybe take that as your stack for that game.

y'all both used the word chalky several times, and I don't think I know what y'all mean by that. Could you define what chalky means in this context?

So your chalk plays are what everyone else is going to do. It's already written on the board. And, um, if you're getting away from it, then you got to erase it and put something else, but it's something that's penciled in. If you just were trying to predict your highest projected points, that'll kind of be your chalk.

Okay. Cause there's chalk on the board. Got it.

everyone's just putting that player into that slot. It happens also if there's somebody that's really cheap, that if, if we ended up with a running back, that was super inexpensive and he was going to get all of the carries, you would see that as the chalk. Right now. I feel like we're seeing a little bit more expensive players that everyone is counting on. But this week is unique in that we have a full slate of games and the game, there are a lot of really expensive players in a lot of games.

Yeah. Should be fun. Hopefully we can actually stay clear of the injury bug this week and get some wide receivers over 20 points.

Fingers crossed.

Yep. I think that's it then for us for today. Thanks for tuning in this week. We hopefully have sparked some great ideas for y'all. I have some of my own ideas. I'm excited to go do my own lineups because I definitely differ from Quinton and Judy on some of these topics. Like the CD lamb option, but we've got our free contest going this week. So I got to go put my own lineup together. You can find the links for the free contest in the description or at fangirlfootball. com. We'd love to have y'all join us and pick who you think is going to be the top lineup this week.
