1:02.0

Now let's get at the DFS plays and fades.

1:06.0

All right, my top five DFS Fades for this two game slate. Number five Christian McCaffrey and yes, I know you might be I rolling right now you might be saying I'm insane, but hear me out for a second.

1:21.0

On a slate where running back plays a little bit thin. We don't have a lot of pay up options. We don't have a lot of players and we're just like, okay, most jump in.

1:29.0

Christian McCaffrey is going to carry a high roster percentage on the slate. So fading him in your lineups is going to make them auto different from a lot of the field most of the field.

1:39.0

And the here's the reason why so McCaffrey has been banged up. We know this.

1:43.0

If they limit him and we see a little more live Mitchell or whoever the RB to for San Francisco is this week.

1:49.0

You could see McCaffrey not pay off on his hefty price tag as well as since week 14 the Philadelphia Eagles allowed the 12th Louis Shards per carry. Yes, they've given up the ninth most receptions to running backs with the 15th middle of the pack and yards per reception allowed.

2:05.0

Fade in Christian McCaffrey, at least in some of your lineups. I'm not telling you full fade will make your lineups auto different.

2:11.0

Number four, Brandon, I you I know I'm staying on this emphasis go train, but again, give me a second here to tell you the reasons.

2:20.0

So Brandon, I you this all comes down to match up match up match up.

2:24.0

This man's going to run 75% of his routes in the perimeter against serious slay and James Bradbury. That is no fly country people.

2:31.0

Philadelphia have given up the fifth, you just fantasy points per game. I'll two perimeter wide receivers this season, Brandon, I you I like some San Francisco pass catchers do not get me wrong.

2:44.0

And we'll get to one later on my top five plays, but look for players to fade. Brandon, I you makes the list. Number three, T Higgins.

2:52.0

This comes down to since Jamar chase returned to the huddle and week 13 he has been the dude and we'll get to more that later, but this has been a slight for team Higgins.

3:01.0

We've seen his target share dropped to 18.6%. His target per route run rate. So he's on the field. We know he plays a full time role, but how often is Joe borrow looking his way.

3:11.0

This sits at 18% to give you some context on that. So since week 13 that number falls behind Joe mixin, Jamar chase Hayden Hurst and yes, even some Maji P Ryan out of the backfield.
