00:02 - All right, talking about an involved offense,
00:06 let's talk about Deshaun Watson and what he brings
00:09 that people may have either forgotten or don't know.
00:13 24 and a half rushing yards for Watson.
00:16 Do we go over?
00:17 Do we go under?
00:19 Joe, your thoughts.
00:20 - Well, I don't wanna copy and paste,
00:23 but Deshaun Watson had 45 rushing yards last week.
00:27 So, I mean, that's twice as many.
00:30 So I think almost,
00:31 I think that's where I struggle with this number
00:33 is I think Vegas is way off here, right?
00:36 If you're looking at fantasy projections for him,
00:38 the fantasy projections have him around 30
00:40 and you might say, well, that's not a really big number
00:42 compared to 25.
00:42 Yes, it is.
00:43 It's a huge difference because the upside is the 45.
00:47 So if just the expected total is already higher
00:50 than what the bar is set at,
00:52 it becomes a really good wager
00:53 and it's something in fantasy you should be,
00:55 I think pretty confident starting Deshaun Watson this week.
00:57 I think it's a tougher assignment.
00:58 In division games are tricky.
01:00 Deshaun Watson's still trying to figure things out
01:01 a little bit, but the one thing I think you can count on
01:04 is that rushing equity.
01:05 Last week, Deshaun Watson was QB five
01:08 because of the rushing equity.
01:09 Anthony Richardson was QB four last week
01:11 because of the rushing equity.
01:13 So let's not dismiss this,
01:14 that ability to run and run the football in
01:16 for a touchdown, that is huge in the world of fantasy.
01:18 And if we do believe that that's going to be a part
01:20 of Deshaun Watson's game this week
01:22 for the Cleveland Browns against the Steelers,
01:24 then why aren't we investing in it
01:27 in the wagering market too?
01:28 We should.
01:29 And that number I think is just set way too low.
01:30 I think that number should be closer to 29 and a half.
01:33 So let's pound this over
01:34 'cause I think that's a really good number this week.
01:36 And I've invested in this one already myself.
