00:00Let's dive into the DFS portion of this show here,

00:05because those that are playing and playing smart

00:08or smartly are finding a way to cash there as well.

00:11Let's talk about some of the top tier names.

00:13We'll talk about the prices, Joe,

00:14and then we'll try to get an idea

00:16of the game scripts overall.

00:17At the running back position,

00:19it starts at Saquon Barkley at 8,700.

00:22Then it pivots to Alvin Kamara at 8,400.

00:25So a $300 difference there, and Alvin Kamara has been hot.

00:28You can see that reflected in his anytime touchdown props

00:31on certain books, now moving deep into the minus money.

00:34And then there's our buddy Jordan Mason at 8,300.

00:38We'll stop right there and let you analyze.

00:40Barkley, Kamara, and Mason.

00:43Barkley is an interesting, expensive oppo play today,

00:47because he's going against the New Orleans Saints defense.

00:50Now, they're the second-ranked rush defense,

00:52and you might kind of go, oh, wow, that's impressive,

00:54except for the fact that they faced the Carolina Panthers,

00:57who can't get any offense going whatsoever.

00:59And then they faced Ezekiel Elliott last week.

01:01So is it really that impressive?

01:03I'm not sure.

01:04So maybe going against the grain here

01:06is an interesting way to go.

01:07Barkley coming off a disappointing end

01:08to that Monday night game.

01:10I think there's opportunity here with this Eagles team

01:12to get back on track without A.J. Brown

01:14continuing to push Saquon Barkley heavily.

01:17Now, I know it's a short week for them

01:19coming off that Monday night game, too,

01:20but all the reason more why he is a really interesting,

01:23I think, low-rostered play,

01:26who has far more upside than people realize

01:27against the Saints today.

01:28So just keep that in your back pocket,

01:30a game that I think the Saints can win,

01:32but at the same time, a game that I think Barkley's

01:34going to work much better than maybe people realize.

01:36Alvin Kamara certainly worked out last week.

01:39Ooh-wee.

01:40We were on Alvin Kamara last week, and guess what?

01:43He did not disappoint.

01:45Now, the question is, is that all the Alvin Kamara

01:47touchdowns we get for the next month and a half?

01:48Sometimes he likes to score them in clusters.

01:51We've seen that before.

01:52Hopefully that's not the case.

01:53It's the next three guys on this list, though,

01:55I think that are most appealing

01:56in terms of return on investment.

01:57Jordan Mason, we just talked about him

01:59in the booms segment of the show.

02:02The 49ers are limited this week.

02:04No Deebo, no Kittle, no CMC, right?

02:07You got to run the football.

02:08He's got 20 or more touches.

02:10You know the volume's going to be there.

02:11Mason's a lock for me.

02:13If you're the Colts,

02:14you got to get back to running the football.

02:15I think you got away from it last week.

02:17Not enough Jonathan Taylor.

02:18I think it costs you the game.

02:19You come back home.

02:21You give the ball to Jonathan Taylor this week.

02:23You right the ship,

02:24and I think you establish the run,

02:25and it takes a little pressure off Richardson.

02:26I think that's a good practice here for Shane Steichen.

02:28And then last is Devon HM,

02:30who everybody's writing off this Dolphins team.

02:32I expect the Dolphins to cover.

02:36I expect the Dolphins to be in this game.

02:38I would not be shocked if the Dolphins win.

02:40Seattle's played very well,

02:41but they've played the Broncos and the Patriots.

02:43So before we start anointing them

02:44the Kings of the North here,

02:47like, what are we doing?

02:48Like, come on, let's step back a little bit here.

02:52And before we start putting guys and teams in,

02:54like, oh, the Seahawks have totally turned things around,

02:56maybe let's see it against a real team.

02:59And I know the Dolphins, theoretically,

03:01are without their starting quarterback,

03:03and Skylar Thompson is a downgrade.

03:04We all understand that.

03:05But can he just be good enough to service the offense

03:09and get Tyree Kiel, the football,

03:11and hand the ball to Devon HM,

03:13who, by the way, has some extra time off here

03:15after playing last Thursday.

03:17So a little bit extra time, a little bit extra rest.

03:19That's a good thing for HM.

03:20So I love HM, love Taylor, love Mason.

03:23Those are three guys I'd circle the most

03:25in my DFS lineups this week.
