| 0:00.0 | Week 17 Thursday night and you're looking for the best play. Well, you're in the right spot because these are the best plays and the ones you should avoid for Thursday night. |
| 0:07.0 | And we begin with Malik Willis, who's $8,600. It's a unique price point for a quarterback somewhat cheap, but is it worth it? |
| 0:12.4 | Because Willis is thought to be this project quarterback. That's what he was coming out of Liberty and that's what we've seen so far in the NFL. You see, even in a really good matchup, the best matchup he can have against the Texans potentially last week. He doesn't even throw for 100 yards. He has |
| 0:23.6 | multiple picks. That's the problem. But the upside. This stuff on the bottom, seven carries 43 yards |
| 0:27.8 | and a touchdown. That's what made him appealing in college at Liberty to NFL scouts. And that's why he's |
| 0:31.7 | here right now in the NFL. And he's in a situation where he's a 10-point underdog versus a Dallas team that struggles to stop the run and mobile quarterbacks. So although the talent hasn't been there yet for Willis, at this price tag on a showdown |
| 0:41.8 | slate, you're getting a quarterback and running back in one. Yeah, I'm going to have interest. Now, how about |
| 0:46.1 | Dak Prescott? Dak is $10,600 here, and he is going to be facing a Titans team that's given up |
| 0:51.3 | the second most passing yards, the third most fantasy points, and ranks bottom three in coverage this year. That's a nice spot for Dak, especially when we |
| 0:57.6 | consider he's coming off of his best performance of the year. His first time over 300 yards goes |
| 1:01.7 | well over it nearly 350, three touchdowns even adds some rushing yards. But we can't use this as |
| 1:06.8 | a barometer of his success. It was the first time he crossed three injured dards this year. This is still a run first offense. And they're big favorites this week. So expect only around 30 |
| 1:14.8 | passes. Dak has been efficient, especially in the red zone. So he can still get there for you. |
| 1:18.3 | It keeps him in play. But if I had to choose between Willis and Dak, I would choose Willis for |
| 1:22.2 | the price discount. But Dak Prescott's still in play, still one of the top five plays on the slate. But how about another guy up here? |
| 1:28.5 | Do I prefer DAC over Derek Henry, who's more expensive, but just by $200? |
| 1:33.2 | Now, if Henry takes on a surprisingly bad Dallas run defense given the talent that they have, |
| 1:37.0 | they rank bottom 10 at stopping the run. |
| 1:39.1 | I mean, Travis Etyen has struggled over the last couple of months, but the one time he didn't struggle was week 15 against Dallas, |
| 1:44.4 | where he went for 127 total yards on just 21 touches. And now Derek Henry comes to town. |
| 1:49.5 | Against this defense and reminder, Henry leads the league right now in carries. He's top three |
| 1:53.9 | in red zone usage. He looks fantastic still, and they're relying on him more and more without |
