00:03 Of course, put us in your pocket,

00:05 take us with you wherever you go,

00:08 keep the conversation going,

00:10 @SportsGrid, @SportsGridTV,

00:13 because winning never stops.

00:15 If you wanna be smart, you need the information.

00:18 @SportsGrid, @SportsGridTV.

00:21 Joe Pizzeppia, you are the author

00:22 of the Fantasy Black Book series.

00:25 Folks, when you get a chance, go check it out.

00:27 It'll change the way you dominate.

00:29 It'll help you enrich yourself via your love of sports.

00:33 Now, building DFS lineups, you've been doing it all morning.

00:36 We're gonna continue to do it here,

00:38 but let's talk from wide receivers,

00:40 because a lot of people are in a panic.

00:42 I know plenty of people that reached

00:44 for the Cooper Cups early in their draft.

00:46 Oh, what do they do now?

00:48 You should not have done that.

00:49 Joe, let's start in Miami,

00:51 and let's start at the top, let's go.

00:53 - Well, we did our best.

00:54 We had so many public service announcements,

00:56 but what are you gonna do?

00:56 At the end of the day, people are gonna,

00:58 they're gonna, look, I get it, it's fun, right?

01:00 But winning is more fun.

01:02 This week, I think you're gonna win with Tyreek Hill in DFS.

01:04 I think that's a guy we talked about two of before.

01:07 Tyreek Hill is that player, 8,800 over on Fandle, 82 on DK.

01:10 We're talking about wide receivers to pay up for.

01:13 Tyreek Hill is worth paying up for.

01:14 You know the ball's going to him.

01:16 He had 170 targets last season.

01:19 Basically, Mike McDaniel says,

01:21 "Go ahead, try to stop him.

01:23 "I dare you," and the rest of the lead can't.

01:25 So why not go back to that?

01:26 Well, just so you know, too, you know,

01:28 this is also a week,

01:29 because there's so much value at wide receiver,

01:31 that you could actually pay up for Justin Jefferson as well.

01:33 Not in the same lineup, necessarily.

01:35 I mean, you could do it.

01:36 It's a little tricky,

01:37 but sometimes we fade those guys at the very top.

01:40 I wouldn't fade Jefferson, and I would not fade Tyreek Hill.

01:43 The roster percentage is gonna be high.

01:45 I don't care.

01:46 The target rate is gonna be very high as well,

01:48 so I wanna go there.

01:49 Another guy worth paying up for,

01:50 once again, in that same game that we talked about

01:52 when we discussed the quarterbacks, is Keenan Allen.

01:55 Keenan Allen's at 8K over on FanDuel, 7,300 over on DK.

01:59 I think this is a player, once again,

02:01 you know, the target volume's gonna be there.

02:02 The touchdown equity's a little questionable,

02:04 so if you wanna have a Herbert Allen lineup,

02:06 and then a Herbert Mike Williams lineup,

02:08 and then a Herbert Echler lineup,

02:10 and do it three ways that way, okay, that's fine.

02:13 There's gonna be points in this game.

02:15 Both these defenses are going to give up some points.

02:17 The total is 51 for a reason.

02:19 I think these defenses will get tired

02:20 in the second half as well,

02:22 and that's when things could really open up.

02:24 Another wide receiver to discuss too,

02:26 who is another top-tier guy,

02:27 I think at least in this week's matchup against the Colts,

02:30 is Calvin Ridley, a player we've talked about a lot

02:33 on this show in the last few weeks.

02:34 He has looked terrific in training camp with Trevor Lawrence.

02:37 You look at the price, it's really user-friendly this week.

02:40 On FanDuel, 7K.

02:42 On DraftKin, 6,500 on DK.

02:45 So you're in a position right now where you set it.

02:49 These prices come out, the market gets set,

02:52 the expectations might be low or a little bit unclear,

02:56 and then all of a sudden a big game happens,

02:57 and this could be the last time we see a pricing

02:59 quite this low on Calvin Ridley.

03:01 So let's take advantage of it.

03:02 I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna wanna use his new toy.

03:05 I think Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars

03:07 are gonna wanna put Hurton on the Colts,

03:09 and this is a big game for them.

03:10 And I know it sounds ridiculous 'cause it's week one,

03:13 but it's an individual game on the road

03:15 where I think the Colts are extremely vulnerable

03:17 without Jonathan Taylor,

03:18 with a rookie quarterback on their center

03:20 who's very inexperienced.

03:21 Get this win under your belt,

03:23 start the season on the right foot.

03:25 You're a playoff team last year.

03:27 If you're the Jaguars, you go out there

03:29 and you make a statement early on

03:30 that this division is yours now, it's not the Titans.

03:33 And if you do that,

03:34 Calvin Ridley I think is a big part of it, Matt.
