Summary

First Mover - Season 1, Episode 14 Josh Larky (@jlarkytweets), PlayerProfiler's Head of Analytics, launched a new podcast this season, and he's now looking at the Week 14 DFS slate to pinpoint the best values and upside players before anyone can catch their breath. Why Josh knew Sony Michel would get ALL the touches in Week 13. The search for our Winter/Spring analytics intern begins NOW. Be on the lookout for our upcoming job posting to work alongside Josh and the team. Week 14 is a great week to pay up at RB. Josh Jacobs was climbing our dynasty rankings BEFORE the Kenyan Drake injury, and he's set to smash rest of season. Breaking down WHY you have to be stacking (and oftentimes double stacking) in DFS and the potential game of the year is in Week 14. Alvin Kamara has boom potential this week. Stacking Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase in Week 14. Tom Brady is the stack king. Play Dak Prescott on the next slate. Josh lists the 3 players you MUST have as your Top-3 RBs rest of season. A QB and WR who both should have had massive games in Week 13 if not for drops. General players Josh is targeting on DraftKings/FanDuel for Week 14. All the Week 14 game environments Josh will be targeting.

0:25.5	Welcome to first
0:26.4	to first mover presented by under dog fantasy. We're live. As I mentioned on the stream
0:36.8	before that little intro, we're going to begin this show with a victory lap. I don't
0:42.2	do a ton of the big victory laps on this program, but we're going to kick it off with one.
0:47.7	It's going to be the process behind Sony Michelle and why I had him as a an RB1 in my projections
0:55.2	and the rankings. Why I made a big tweet all about how Sony Michelle's an RB1 doesn't matter.
1:00.8	Henderson active not active. You need to fire up Sony Michelle for week 13 and he had himself a day.
1:07.3	And Matt and I actually talked earlier because he was asking me why I was so fixated on Sony Michelle
1:13.9	for week 13. He was like, oh, that Sony Michelle did really well. But why don't you elaborate
1:19.1	on your process unless it was just a pure hot take and it would have been fun if it was a pure
1:24.1	hot take. But there was a real process behind Sony Michelle. I will explain. There were three.
1:29.8	I repeat the re components that went into this as to why Sony Michelle was a smash component.
1:34.9	Number one, Daryl Henderson Wednesday did not practice Thursday did not practice Friday limited.
1:41.3	So Michelle he's getting the first team reps Henderson barely practiced number two. They're facing
1:47.7	Jacksonville. It's an easy win. I mean, the spread was like 12 points in Ram's favor. Did any
1:54.3	way they were in LA? Did anyone even think Jacksonville had a puncher's chance in this one?
1:58.4	I certainly didn't. So there's just no need to push Henderson to his limits. Let him recover
2:03.5	from whatever his injury was. I forget exactly what it was. Some some kind of lower body injury.
2:08.1	Now the part three and this one is super important. And that is there was there's no running
2:15.0	back depth in Los Angeles. The Rams have nothing. So what was behind Sony Michelle? Because we know
2:21.8	it's Henderson and Michelle. Well, as you all know, obviously, so sad. I still think about it
