00:00Let's move to the quarterback position where Jaden Daniels is priced at $8,200.

00:08There's three quarterbacks above him and everyone can pretty much guess who they are.

00:12Well, actually, I don't know, maybe the third one might fall off the tip of people's tongues,

00:15but it's Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson at the top.

00:17Joe, I'll let you take it from there.

00:19Yeah, look, these guys control all the scoring in their offense, so it makes a lot of sense

00:24to look at them and say, okay, well, this is a prime matchup, marquee matchup.

00:28You know, Josh Allen, especially you can run him by himself because you just don't

00:31know where the football is going, and that's a good thing for Josh Allen.

00:34I think you've seen him play much better when he's just in control of the offense and not

00:37thinking about, oh, I need to get the football to this person.

00:41And it seems like a different version of Josh Allen, and that MVP number has moved considerably

00:46in his favor.

00:47More on that to come in hour two because this might be the prime time to be betting that

00:51regardless of the outcome of this week's matchup.

00:55But those two guys at the top certainly make a lot of sense.

00:57I want to keep pivoting down, though.

00:59Kyler Murray and Jaden Daniels are going to come back to this matchup.

01:01When you have matchups, the total is above 50.

01:05That's where you want to be investing in your quarterbacks.

01:06And Kyler Murray, Jaden Daniels, both have rushing equity, both have touchdown equity,

01:10both control all the scoring in their offense.

01:12So rather than go up to the Lamars and Josh Allens of the world, I think it's probably

01:17a smarter pivot to look downward to the Daniels, to the Murrays, and see if you can get those

01:23guys in and save yourself $1,000.

01:27And potentially spend that and spread that around the rest of your lineup.

01:30I think that's a better practice.

01:32And if you want to go even further, Justin Fields, he's a top 10 quarterback this week

01:36on Fantasy Pros for the rankings and the expert consensus ranks.

01:40At 6,800, you can pair him with Pickens, or you could put him with Najee Harris, either

01:45one of those two ways.

01:46And I think you're in a really good spot potentially.

01:48So that's another good pivot point where this week I think you can fade the top of the quarterback

01:55position in favor of some of those bigger guys running back and wide receiver.

01:59I'd rather have Chase, I'd rather have Barkley, and then make do with Daniels or Fields.

02:03I think that's a much better path to victory this week.
