Hello and welcome to a week 16 tournament review.

0:23.4

As always, I am here with Mike Leoni to discuss our tournament teams, our tournament takeaways

0:29.8

from this past weekend DFS. Today we are going to talk about how I, your humble King GP

0:34.8

Pro, $1,250,000 on Fandall yesterday in the $250 buy-in fan championship. Shout out

0:43.8

to me, Leoni. Good morning. Good morning, King GP Pro. Yes, I will only be, I will only

0:51.7

answer to the name King GP Pro going forward. I want to use this as kind of an opportunity

0:58.9

to talk about some takeaways about how we think about tournaments. And so this was a 15,000

1:05.9

person field. This was a bigger field than I normally play. Leoni and I are typically

1:10.0

playing fields, 400 people, 500 people, and less Leoni sometimes even smaller than that.

1:15.8

This was a unique field because it was 15,000 people, $1 million to first here. So I think

1:43.7

clear. They don't throw to running back that often. They don't throw to tight end that

1:48.9

often. They have three very good wide receivers, two of which have really good eight outs.

1:53.5

Average depth of targets. They go down the field and can make big plays on top of that.

1:58.7

The Ravens have been so decimated in their secondary by injuries. And so as you can

2:03.6

see here in our projections from Sunday, Jamar Chase and T Higgins, although their base

2:08.8

values weren't like popping off there on the FD value column. They're in the ceiling column.

2:14.2

They're right behind the best plays on the slate in Cooper Cup and Tyree Keenan, J.J.F.

2:19.4

in 20 of Round Step Digs. Jamar Chase and T Higgins were not that far off of them.
