| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Finis & Footmallers DFS broadcast coming to you from Draft King Studios with your host, Kyle Morganone and Matthew Vance. |
| 0:28.0 | Hey there, you loyal listeners. It's coming out to you on Christmas Eve 2021, or as Bets and I would like to say, we're still live. |
| 0:39.0 | Barely. Barely. After the week 15 debacle, which was just maxing for a lot of people. |
| 0:47.0 | You know, we get in with Christmas week. It's the holidays. Everyone's really in a good mood. And you say to yourself, hey, we're pack 15. Like this is good. |
| 0:54.0 | And we're right back in it. I mean, week 16 is like it's going to be another one of those slates that's just crazy with the holidays plus all the COVID is which we'll break down today on the show. |
| 1:01.0 | I have Twitter post when I'm ready, Kyle, for any of the news that comes out as you record, which I feel like is going to be nonstop. So yes, listeners, stay engaged throughout the weekend. I'm going to enjoy the holiday. But man, be right, make pivots on say. |
| 1:13.0 | Yes. And I mean, Bets and I, we're not going to lie. We're a little bit all over the place in terms of my house is being boxed up right now as his behind me. |
| 1:22.0 | There's empty bookshelves, something that Bets has never seen. And Christmas stuff as usual. And then every second, it feels like we are missing out on some type of news that bumps somebody in the slate. |
| 1:35.0 | So if you are listening to this podcast, it's coming out on Friday, potentially we could find out that there are three or four players that are going to be added to the COVID list, but we will try to stay updated and try to update the DFS pass over the weekend. |
| 1:47.0 | As much as we can, it's a crazy time for a lot of different people, but you can go to dfspass.com if you want some of those picks, but you and I are just going to get right into it and talk about our cash picks. |
| 1:58.0 | Straight cash, homie. |
| 2:03.0 | Our cash picks this week are pretty simple. I won't lie. The running backs is where the biggest conversation I think is this week because there's just I think there's five guys that I legitimately would be happy with in my lineup. |
| 2:18.0 | So I think a question we're going to have later in the mailbag is is it appropriate to have three running backs this week in terms of your flex and how you figure that out, but starting off at quarterback. |
| 2:28.0 | You and I only have three names and the same three names we had on Tuesday, not much has changed with this. And with the news about Tyree Kill and Travis Kelsey, it's like, I don't even want to consider Patrick Mahomes right this second. |
| 2:40.0 | So who are those three names that we like at quarterback? |
| 2:43.0 | Yeah, let's start at the top of the pricing. And this is the guy that I brought up on Tuesday. It's Justin Herbert, you know, seven point two on draft Kings looks like just an awesome play this week based off of what he's done and how much the charters want to throw the football. |
| 2:55.0 | Now you get a matchup with Houston that is perfect. I mean, they're leading the slate in terms of implied total at 28 points right now against Houston. |
| 3:03.0 | He's posted 24 plus DK points six of his last seven games. So he just feels super safe. If you have the salary to get up to him at that price tag, I love him this week for cash and I think his upside is huge in tournaments as well. |
| 3:15.0 | Yeah, for me, it's it's basically asking what kind of safety do you want between Stafford, Justin Herbert. And then I'm going to throw out Justin Jalen hurts at 6.4. |
| 3:27.0 | That's just a little too cheap for what he's been doing is consistency has been a top 12 quarterback in 12 of 14 weeks leads a league. Is there any worry that the Eagles get out to a lead. |
| 3:38.0 | And we're not seeing the volume that we want. That's the scariest thing about hurts. We know he's going to run the ball. He has a league leading nine rushing touchdowns at the position. |
| 3:47.0 | So how are you approaching hurts and I get that he's safe, but there is a bottom of the floor that feels way too low. |
