| 0:33.7 | We're looking at six games coming up this weekend. |
| 0:36.4 | The NFL playoffs begin. We talk about it right now on fantasy football today in five. What's up? Welcome, everybody. Adam and Dave here to talk to you about the weekend slate and some DFS advice. Dave, we're going to go through each position on draft kings. I'll give a little bit of fandual advice as well and talk about who we like, but just, you know, just in general, which players you think are going to have good games. Let's start with the quarterback position. Who are you looking at this weekend in these six games? I think the safe play is Patrick Mahomes. He's 7,400. Second most expensive quarterback on the board. He can get you 22.2 points pretty easily, even against the Steelers, had three touchdowns against the Steelers earlier this year. I could see him having another monster game, but there are some bargains. I think Jimmy Garoppolo is a bargain at 5300, probably the best bargain of the bunch. Say that 10 times fast against the Dallas Cowboys. Fandle real quick. I do like Dak Prescott. He's the fifth most expensive quarterback. And I don't think they're going to be able to run the ball very well against San Francisco, |
| 1:30.1 | and he's very good at home. So I like Dak. There's actually some... Where's Jalen Hertz on Fandall? He's 7th. He's 7,700. He's a little bit more expensive than Stafford at 7,600. I think if you're looking at Prescott, Borough, Hertz, Stafford, they are 6, 7, 8, and 9 in pricing. And those are the guys I'm looking at 5, 6, 7, 8 in pricing. Those are the guys I'm doing it. Hertz is the cheapest on Draft Kings at 61-figure. So if you can get you 18 points, that's 4 point for a passing league, rushing touchdowns scamp for 6. I kind of like it. Yeah. He might be my favorite bargain, actually, instead of Gropolo. All right. Let's go to running backs here, Dave. Leonard Fournette, 5900. I think he's kind of been forgotten about. He's the eighth most expensive running back on draft kings. Really like that value. And I'd love to pair him with Devon Singletary. The one thing we've seen, and it's been a little weird, but the Patriots run defense hasn't been great. |
| 2:50.8 | Duke Johnson spiked them last week. They gave up a ton of yards before then. I think Singletary, who's been riding hot, can continue to stay hot. At 5,700, I think he's a pretty good bargain. Yeah, he's a good bargain. Leonard, both of them are good bargains as well. They are more expensive than Sony Michelle, however. Who do you like better, say, between Devin Singletary and Sony Michelle? I will take Singletary, especially if the catch is count. Okay, and I am going to avoid Ezekiel Elliott. Yes. Does that make you want to go with Pollard? No, it does not. |
| 2:53.4 | And I mean, that's not a bad dart throw. |
| 2:55.3 | I don't know if you need to do that in a small slate. |
| 2:59.3 | I'm definitely avoiding James Connor on Fandall, the second most expensive, |
| 3:00.9 | unless Edmonds is out. |
| 3:04.1 | But if they both play, I'm not going with a Cardinals guy. |
| 3:07.5 | Let's go to wide receivers, Dave. |
| 3:13.4 | I feel like everybody will have one of Cup or Debo or Jamar Chase in their lineup. |
| 3:14.8 | So I'm going to avoid those guys. |
| 3:15.8 | Cup would be my favorite. |
| 3:16.7 | He's just been a stud. |
| 3:18.0 | I don't see that slowing down. |
