All right. I've linked it below. Let's talk about the optimal place at each position. Let's dive into it guys week five. I can't believe week five is already here. Like I said, it really |
| 1:59.2 | just genuinely flies by after, you know, the season starts. It just genuinely flies by. It goes really fast. But here we are week five. And I know a lot of people have been crazy, you know, weeks. It's a crazy year. A lot of players underperforming. A lot of players overperforming, having some boom games. Sometimes you get players and you play against a guy that you know, Christian McCap. He's been doing. He's been consistent. But you play against David Montgomery last week and you lose your week because they had one good week. So we're going to talk about it. We're going to talk about everything here. So let's start. |
| 2:29.2 | Let's start off with the quarterback position here. You know, Zach Wilson. I mean, again, if you're playing for DFS guys, wink, wink. He's got a good match against Denver. I mean, even feels good against Denver last week. You know, so you got to take a look at the matchups. Matchups don't always play a critical part because sometimes you have a great player. You don't want to mention it. Just because he's not optimal. Doesn't mean you mentioned which which I'm going to show you in a second. But these are the guys that have a really good matchup based on paper. Zach Wilson, Sam Howell ready at 20 point week last week. It's all laid out here for you. Daniel. |
| 2:59.2 | John's right crappy week last week and you know, a couple of weeks. Actually, but Daniel Jones versus Miami could score a lot of points this week. Maybe a DFS play Matt staff for good matchup. Joe burrow actually has a good back. He's been playing like garbage. This is the week that Joe burrow has to step up. I don't know how else to tell you this. He's got to do it. I mean, you got to step up, dude. Join love. He's been consistent as they come. He's got a good matchup versus Vegas. Pat my homes versus Minnesota and Justin feels versus Washington. And then of course, you've got these other guys here. You know, that I've made |
| 3:29.2 | range matchups. You two us. You're Josh Allen, you're Lamar Jackson, Anthony Richardson, teacher, start to be consistent. If you could look here, uh, Stroud has actually been really consistent. 25, 21, 26 points. Okay. So I then I'm going to just go here and just filter by guys that have been a little bit tough here. Okay. As you can see here Trevor Lawrence got in a little bit tough here versus Buffalo. And he's been playing like I would say garbage is a nice way to say it. Brock, party versus Dallas got in tough guys. These defenses are for real Buffalo. I mean, you saw what Miami did. You know, |
| 3:59.2 | he's Denver a couple of weeks ago and they played Buffalo and they kind of came back down to reality. So Buffalo is a good defense, but legit. Uh, Dallas versus, you know, Sanfer versus Dallas, Brock, Perdi's got it in tough, Derek Carr, Jared golf was be consistent. I've got him as a backup. Cause Justin Herbert. For me, uh, Justin Herbert is out on by week this week. So again, am I going to be starting golf possibly again. He's been consistent. Right. I mean, 12 points last week. That's the greatest. It depends on what platform you're on. Right. Uh, how much weight is given to quarterback scoring. |
| 4:29.2 | Again, Jared golf, tougher matchup, Dak Prescott versus San Fran Kirk cousins versus KC Desmond Rader. I don't think you're starting him versus Houston and Russell Wilson. Jill and Hertz, uh, tougher matchups on paper. Okay. So those are your quarterbacks. And then not to say that, okay, if you have Brock, Perdi, you don't have a better option. You got to sit Brock, Perdi. I'm just raising awareness that on paper, guys, these have tougher matchups. So again, I want to emphasize that. Okay. Sometimes you guys matchups play a key role. Sometimes it's, oh yeah, you know, he crapped the bed. It was a tough matchup. |
| 4:59.2 | Now you know, you're aware of who has a tough matchups. And it's just about raising awareness. So you guys can make executive decisions on starts to since now, if you have a question below, drop it. Well, try to get as many as possible.

| 5:29.2 | Starts and sits amazing community guys join the front lines. Patreon.com for such FF counselor. If you want direct access, but drop a question below. I'll try to get to as many as I possibly can as well. All right. All right. Let's move on to the running back position here. I mean, look at this band. Finally, Breeze Hall's got a great matchup versus position here. Look at this 10 points last week. He's got to step it up here against Denver. I don't know how to tell you this. He's got to step it up Brian Robinson. Don't really care for him here. Joe Mixin. I mean, I have no stock in him. But he's got a good matchup versus Arizona. And David Malker. |
| 5:59.2 | I mean, Jimier Gibbs. I mean, literally guys, they have to start utilizing. Jimier Gibbs. David Malker is his body going to hold up. I really don't think so. He crushed it last week. But again, it's all volume based. Jimier Gibbs is doing more with the attempts that he has every two more yards per carry. So, you know, he's around the 4.5 yards per carry. Dave Malker was at 3.5 to 3.8. So Dave Malker, I mean, not doing as much with it, but they just keep pounding the balls almost like they're running through the ground getting their money to work. But Jimier Gibbs is the future. I'm going to go ahead and start him. He is the RB one. |
| 6:29.2 | I don't care. Anybody says Dave Malker will go down. Joe, you're wishing injured on people. No, I'm not. I'm saying that Dave Malker. He's never worked like this before. He's not going to last. Jimier Gibbs is the future. He's the better running back. They got to start utilizing more. Everybody's pissed off, man. Even Detroit Lion fans like you drive this guy first round. First overall. And you know, you're not using him, right? Your first overall pick. So Lions got to use them. Okay, especially if they want to win because Gibbs is the better back. Josh Jacobs versus Green Bay. Amazing matchup here. Coming off a big week last week. Prior to that, I had a couple crappy weeks here. |
| 6:59.2 | If you could see, Sequoam Barkley, good matchup. Check the injury before he starts. If he's going to play this week, I think you should be good to go. But if he plays, I mean, you got to use him, you know, easy matchup versus Miami, where he monster Devon, I changed great matchup. They should run all over the Giants here. Awesome matchup. By Jan Robinson versus Houston. Love in the matchup here. He started on all my leaks. I got Derek Henry, the league as well. I'm starting him versus Indy, great matchup. And Javonte Williams hit Flex or injury. Check the injury status before starting him. |
| 7:29.2 | He'll make a lock and if you pick them up off waiver wire, both good matchups by position here on paper. Now again, this is just on paper. Doesn't mean they're going to perform and crush it, right? If you have better options, start him. For example, here, Kyron Williams arguably has one of the toughest matchups versus position here versus Philly. But he's been hot. Do you sit Kyron Williams for Breeze Hall? I mean, if you got both, you got to start try to start both based on position. But I mean, Kyron Williams is just getting the volume. I don't know how to tell you this. Like, but he's got a tough matchup. Do you sit him? No, you don't sit him. I'm just |
| 7:59.2 | making you guys aware of the positions. Now again, Christian McAfry, do you sit Christian McAfry? No, you do not. But this is an important show because I'm showing you that on paper, guys, laid out, you know, clear, you know, right here in front of you, that on paper, Christian McAfry does have a tough matchup. So maybe Christian McAfry comes back down to reality. Now, a guy like me, like I say, as a bad game. I'm going to rip into him. But you got to understand he does actually have a tough matchup this week versus |
| 8:29.2 | that position. Okay, he's playing Dallas. So be aware that Damien Pierce who kind of came alive last week back to a tough matchup versus Atlanta's Rush defense here. Mile Sanders versus Detroit, Carolina versus Detroit, tough matchup on paper. Zeke Elliott and Stevenson. I mean, what a disaster. This committee has been. I told you to stay away from this committee. Patriots can't trust them. Tough matchup versus position here for both Zeke and Stevenson here who have been looking absolutely like garbage, six points and four points last week for the both of these guys. Crap Madison Acres. Maybe they start working |
| 8:59.2 | Acres a bit more here. They have it in tough versus Casey. Zach Moss got to take a look at, you know, Jonathan Taylor see how that situation is going. If he's going to play this week, I haven't looked into it. But I think I heard he's activated again. So Zach Moss, if he plays, he does have a tough versus Tennessee. We're going to have to see what they're going to do with with Jonathan Taylor here as well. And anyway, I didn't mention like the patch echoes here. You can see Swift mid range matchup 14th. You can see 14th hardest versus position here. Cleo Herbert. |
