00:02 - Now, we closed out an earlier quarterback conversation

00:07 on Desmond Ritter,

00:09 and it spawned a Lamar Jackson conversation.

00:11 Here is your chance to continue that conversation

00:15 because Drake London and Zay Flowers

00:17 are priced fairly similar.

00:19 I mean, there's a $200 difference on Fandul,

00:21 $400 difference on DK as of this moment.

00:25 But talk us through your thoughts

00:26 on both of those receivers.

00:27 Start with London, please.

00:30 - Well, you wanna talk about overreactions, right?

00:32 The week one overreaction to Drake London

00:34 who had zero fantasy points and one target

00:37 and zero reception.

00:37 So everybody, "Oh, it's all done.

00:41 "It's never gonna be good.

00:42 "It's gonna be terrible."

00:42 Well, that was stupid.

00:44 Because then in week two, he had eight targets.

00:46 He caught six of them for 67 yards and a touchdown.

00:48 And he's got touchdown equity in this game too.

00:50 So 21 half PPR points last week for Drake London.

00:54 And now he's taking on the Detroit Lions,

00:56 which let's be honest,

00:57 like the Detroit Lions this year, secondary wise,

01:00 have struggled.

01:01 If you go back to that first game,

01:03 Patrick Mahomes found open guys,

01:05 just nobody could catch the damn football.

01:06 So that's a problem, right?

01:08 And it wasn't like the Detroit Lions secondary was so good.

01:10 They have good pass rush.

01:11 Yes, they do get after the quarterback.

01:12 That's a good thing.

01:13 Aiden Hutchinson's terrific.

01:14 But at the same time,

01:16 it's not like the secondary's stopping anybody.

01:18 Look, Gino Smith came into that building last week

01:21 and threw everywhere on them all day long.

01:23 Tyler Lockett had a massive game, which by the way,

01:26 if you were listening last week,

01:27 who was the number one guy on Derrick Brown's list

01:29 when we had him come in here, Tyler Lockett, right?

01:32 So, you know, this is why you stay with us.

01:34 This is why you watch us every Sunday

01:35 'cause we're picking winners.

01:37 That's what we're doing here.

01:38 And this is another opportunity where

01:40 if you wanna get up into that Minnesota game, right?

01:43 That's expensive.

01:44 If you wanna get up into some of these other contests

01:46 and some of these other prices

01:47 or the B. John Robinson costs, right?

01:49 This is a way to do it.

01:50 'Cause I think Drake London has that opportunity.

01:52 Once again, to people say, oh, you know,

01:54 I can't get into it.

01:55 6,500 on FanDuel, okay, but 5K over on DK,

01:59 I think that's too cheap.

02:00 I think that's a price problem.

02:01 And that's why if you think about

02:04 on DraftKings specifically today,

02:06 putting Drake London together with Ritter,

02:09 that's $10,000 combined.

02:11 That's it.

02:12 Imagine how much left you have,

02:14 especially if you do cheap out on tight end

02:16 to the Ferguson, let's say, right?

02:18 Or a LaPorte in that same game.

02:20 Now, all of a sudden,

02:21 you can get Justin Jefferson into this lineup.

02:22 Now, all of a sudden,

02:23 you can get B. John Robinson into that lineup.

02:25 Like all of a sudden, it opens things up.

02:27 And I think once again,

02:28 London is a more intriguing pairing with Ritter.

02:32 And then it allows you a lot more salary relief

02:35 on DraftKings.

02:35 So on FanDuel, I don't love it as much,

02:37 but on FanDuel and everywhere, once again,

02:40 my love for Zay Flowers knows no end.

02:42 It's one of those things that I just,

02:44 I can't stop talking about him.

02:45 I won't stop talking about him

02:47 because this is another guy

02:48 that is in a smash spot today.

02:51 6,300 on FanDuel, right?

02:53 So his price is ticking up, but it's still dirt cheap.

02:55 5,400 on DK.

02:57 He should be 80% rostered at that price

03:01 because the Colt secondary is terrible.

03:03 He's gonna be some flowers on Flowers' crime

03:05 because the cornerback Flowers can't stop anybody.

03:08 And Zay Flowers is starting to show you

03:10 his complete skillset.

03:11 He's starting to show you,

03:13 he's not just the bubble screen guy.

03:14 He's the guy that can go deep and go get the football.

03:17 He did it a lot at Boston College.

03:18 He's gonna do it a lot today.

03:20 I think the Ravens are another one

03:22 of these sneaky stacks today

03:23 where everybody's gonna be included

03:25 are going to have exposure to that charger game

03:28 with the Minnesota Vikings.

03:29 But I think we also wanna have exposure

03:31 to the Baltimore Ravens today with the trio of Lamar

03:34 and with Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers

03:36 because it's probably gonna be a lot lower rostered.

03:40 And I think it's in a really good spot.
