Hey everyone, welcome to the fantasy bros football podcast. I'm Bobby Sylvester joined as always by Mike Tagliere and we've got week 16 DFS.

We got three games on Saturday. We got a bunch of games for the main Sunday slate. And that's what we're going to be talking about today.

Bandle, draft Kings, primarily talking about those cash games can hit up GPP at the end. We've got a great guest as well. It's Derek Cardi. He does fantasy MLB and NFL for ESPN fantasy and Roto grinders and he's the creator of the bat and the blitz. Now Derek, can you tell them about what the bat and the blitz are? I've used the bat for a long time. This is actually the third year for the blitz. It's killing it this year though. It has my attention for sure. It seems like that's been the thing this year. Like it's been fantastic, you know, every year. But this is the year

when people have really I think started to notice, you know, the word of mouth is kind of gotten out and it's been it's been such a strong year there. They're my projection systems are over at Roto grinders and it's just been crushing. You know, your methodology seems a lot different than the rest of the industry. You're very much a projections math guy. I love that. And you've had some calls this year where it's like you've turned me on to them. And a lot of other people in the industry were sleeping on them like last week. Canyon Drake, you were all over him.

Yep, last week I was all over Canyon Drake, Danny M. Indola was a guy I was really big on last week. You know, the blitz is not afraid to go out on a ledge. I still think as much information as there is out there with NFL. There's still a lot of really crucial things that people just underrate and miss. And there's a lot of bias and group think.

Yep, I agree with that. It's primarily the volume and people sometimes overrate matchups and discount how good superstars are regardless of that because they're volume. And it's like I even talked to you. That's rude of me. I'm sorry, dude.

Oh, no, it's good. It's good to have you back on the podcast. I'm just happy that I didn't have to talk at the beginning. I would much prefer doing the role that I'm doing today than the one I was doing yesterday. So it's it's good to have you back, man.

Well, thanks, man. You nailed it with the eggnog stuff though. I don't know if Tom Brady's the right comp for eggnog, but eggnog's really freaking good.

It's a finally a food take that you and I can agree on. Yeah, we finally have a Derek. What's your take on eggnog, dude? Oh, I love it. No, it's great. All right. I wasn't sure where you were going with it. When you drop Tom Brady, I was like, this could go either way, but I wouldn't compare it to Tom Brady either. Someone much better.

Oh, man, you are really good. And our listeners, by the way, if you guys want to talk to Derek about that, he's on Twitter at Derek Cardi.

Don't talk the tags and I about it, even though we agree at Bobby Fantasy Pro at Mike Taglier NFL. Derek, as you know, Patriots fans can be feisty about Tom Brady.

Oh, they are. And not to take anything away from his career, obviously. He's been phenomenal. Yeah. He's been fantastic. But he's what? 43 years old, 44 years old. Like, it comes a time for everybody where they get worse. And it's happening for Brady. It's happening for Rodgers and people don't really want to admit it.

Yeah, if you ever want to make people really mad on Twitter, by the way, all you need to do post your top 10 quarterbacks of all time, it doesn't matter what your opinion is. People will stop following you and they will hate you because they disagree with you.

I made that mistake a couple of days ago. I actually had a lot of fun with it. But yeah, people are pretty mean, man.

All right, let's get into the content. Again, we've got fandal and draft Kings. We're going to start with cash games. We'll go position by position.

Now running back position over on fandal or our model is just screaming Chris Carson again against Arizona. A great matchup with penny out Carson's going to get a bulk of the workload as we saw last week. His cost per point.

And this is based on his salary and his consensus projections around the industry 21.4 points is $384, which is incredible. Cause number two is all the way down at 450. Number three is 454.

Like it's a huge gap over on draft Kings. We don't have the same benefit of using Carson at that kind of price point. Who do you love over on draft Kings tags?

I'm not a big fan of Carson this week against Arizona at his price there 8500. I mean, if you're starting in cash games, it starts with Joe Mixon.

Joe Mixon's got to be a lock in lineups at 6600 against the dolphins team that I mean, running backs are averaging over 30 touches per game against that team and Mixon himself. No matter what the game script has been, he's been getting touches.

Both teams run at a very high pace. There's really not a lot to be concerned with Mixon, especially with the way he's playing right now.

sneak peek here is that he's my lock of the week. I can't believe you're going away from CMC, dude. We're going to talk about that as we go through it. But there's some choices that have to be made and unfortunately Christian McCaffrey and cash games. It's I've been playing him every single week and with Will Greer taking over as the quarterback. We don't know what the offense is going to look like. It's you don't run the ball particularly well against Indianapolis. You want you do you can drop off a dump off passes to running backs over and over. And I it's not to say that Christian McCaffrey's not going to be able to do that.
