00:00Joe, let's go into some fantasy booms for this week and let's dissect how that can impact

00:09some of our wagers and some of our fantasy moves.

00:12Let's start with Lamar Jackson against Las Vegas.

00:14Let's have the conversation of how he was or wasn't in the red zone last week and let's

00:19see how that can bounce back.

00:20What do you got?

00:21Well, look, Lamar had a great fantasy performance last week against the Kansas City Chiefs.

00:24I don't know how much more you could ask for him.

00:26He finished his QB 5, 273 yards through the air, a touchdown, it could have been two passing

00:32touchdowns.

00:33He also had 122 rushing yards against the Chiefs.

00:36So this week they're going to be playing the Las Vegas Raiders who struggled with turnovers.

00:42He can't do that.

00:43I think this could be a big day here for the Ravens.

00:44You get Derrick Henry at home, Lamar Jackson's first home game of the season.

00:49I think there's gonna be a lot of energy in that building.

00:50It's already a difficult place to play.

00:53So you can approach this from a couple of different standpoints.

00:56In your DFS lineups, you can run Lamar out by himself because why?

00:59He controls all the scoring.

01:00So you don't have to connect him necessarily.

01:02If you want to put him and Derrick Henry and just own all of it, that's fine too.

01:06Henry's kind of a mid to high level salary in most places this week.

01:10But I look at Lamar Jackson, I look at how the Las Vegas Raiders struggled last week

01:14to contain the run.

01:15You saw J.K. Dobbins have a 60-yard run.

01:17He had well over 100 yards against him.

01:20It's gonna be a long day at the office.

01:22Now, the good thing about the Raiders defense is they get after the quarterback.

01:25The bad thing is when you get after the quarterback and it's Lamar Jackson, he gets loose in space.

01:29Next thing you know, he's running for 15, 20 yards.

01:31So I'll be looking at his rushing props today.

01:34I'd be looking at his touchdown props today.

01:36I'd be looking at a big fantasy day for him.

01:38Of course, he's in all your lineups.

01:40You're not changing anything out.

01:41But this is more about how do we make some money on the side of the fantasy.

01:44I think he is lined up to have a really big game here this week.

01:47So Lamar, I think, is definitely in the spot to boom in week two.
