00:00 This week is fairly interesting because there are two games with totals above 52 Philadelphia,

00:08 Los Angeles and Kansas City, Minnesota.

00:11 So much of the ownership is going to condense on those two games.

00:14 Jalen Hurd's not in our graphic, but obviously a pretty strong play would not be as in a

00:19 Stafford in Daily Fantasy and Kurt Cousins is 6,900 on DraftKings, though I prefer Stroud

00:25 to him for some of the options that he lets you get to.

00:28 Mahomes this week at 8,200, he sort of just seems like the best option.

00:32 I mean, he did have a bad fantasy game against the New York Jets.

00:36 Could have been a little bit better if he would have scored that rushing touchdown there

00:39 at the end.

00:40 I mean, not that I'm salty and not that I would ever say a negative word about Patrick

00:44 Mahomes doing the right thing to deliver a win to Kansas City, but I would have appreciated

00:49 that touchdown on a lot of my fantasy teams.

00:51 You know, it is what it is.

00:53 The Vikings defense, they are amongst the least skilled defenses in the NFL.

01:00 They have allowed so many yards, so many points.

01:04 They cannot get any pressure.

01:06 And the interesting thing about this matchup is that the way that Brian Flores, who used

01:09 to be the defensive coordinator for the Buffalo Bills, was let go in the offseason.

01:14 His way of looking at this defense and saying, "All right, well, no one on this defense is

01:18 any good.

01:19 What do we do?

01:20 We're going to blitz the crap out of the opposing quarterbacks."

01:23 What happens when you blitz really good quarterbacks, Craig?

01:27 They absolutely blow you up.

01:30 Justin Herbert is probably the best example of this this season.

01:34 He threw 47 times, 47 times in a regulation win against Minnesota.

01:40 405 yards, 3 touchdowns, ran 2 times for 11 yards, just diced them up.

01:47 I don't think blitzing Patrick Mahomes is going to work.

01:49 In fact, if you look at quarterbacks win blitzed since Patrick Mahomes entered the league,

01:55 he's number one in every category.

01:57 Completion percentage, yards per touchdown touch, I mean, obviously, no one is surprised

02:01 that Patrick Mahomes is really good.

02:02 But I think the ceiling is even higher this week.

02:05 I think he could go 404 fairly easily.

02:09 Anthony Richardson, I mean, I just don't even care who this guy plays against.

02:12 He's going to get a minimum of 18 fantasy points every week, and then obviously he's

02:17 got the ceiling to go way higher than that any week where he succeeds as a passer.

02:22 Then this matchup with CJ Stroud versus the Falcons, sort of interesting to me.

02:26 We saw Trevor Lawrence do very well in the first half, not so good in the second half.

02:30 If the Falcons can do anything, if they can push the Texans at all, we saw the first two

02:36 weeks of the season, the Texans are not afraid to throw the ball.

02:40 47 and 44 passing attempts and losses the first two games of the season.

02:45 Stroud has Nico Collins, Adele, who are very cheap with him.

02:48 I really like these three quarterback selections.
