00:00I can go right to Josh Allen at 9,000 of the quarterback spot and be fine with it.

00:07But then if you look at the bottom of this list here, Joe Flacco is at seven.

00:10I mean, Joe, I can build a lot of different lineups.

00:12I can build a value lineup.

00:13I can build a top tier lineup.

00:14This is going to be a really intriguing week.

00:16Your thoughts at the quarterback position and the pricing.

00:18Yeah, look, Flacco is another one of these guys like Winston plays with reckless abandon,

00:22right?

00:23He's going to throw the football at seven K, you know, because this replacement happened

00:26after the pricing, the pricing hasn't caught up yet.

00:29So there's opportunity.

00:30Now it is a tough matchup.

00:31It is the Vikings defense and Joe Flacco was mistake pro, right?

00:34He's going to throw some picks somewhere in there.

00:36Is he going to throw some touchdowns?

00:38Probably.

00:39So this could be a really fun situation.

00:40And Stafford also, I think under price, which is why it's going to be chalky, Joe Burrow,

00:44an interesting value play also.

00:46But you know, the Cincinnati Bengals just can't seem to get out of their own way this

00:49year.

00:50No matter what happens, they just can't seem to get on track for one reason or another.

00:54And they should get on track this week in cash games.

00:57I think that hurts.

00:58And I think that's going to be a Brown combination is going to be very productive today.

01:00So that's another good pivot in different styles.

01:02But in tournaments, you're going to have to pivot down a quarterback and luckily you have

01:06some options here.

01:07Derek Carr is probably an option too, but I might stay away from that again.

01:10First game back, maybe you give him a little time to get his sea legs under him and you

01:14know, it's a good matchup against Carolina.

01:15So it's very tempting, but I think I'd still rather go with the Staffords and still rather

01:19go with the Joe Flacco's of the world today in those tournaments.

01:23All right.

01:24Now let's go to the tight end position where if Brock Bowers were an old timey, carny wrestler,

01:31he could be the kind of guy that would say right before game time, you know what?

01:34I'm not going out there unless you give me X amount of money more.

01:37There were tons of wrestlers that used to do that back right before the main event.

01:40Their music would play.

01:41I'm not going out there unless you give me another thousand dollars and they would hold

01:44up promoters.

01:45Brock Bowers may be the only guy in Las Vegas.

01:48He starts at 7,700.

01:49Let's give him 7,700 to go out on the field today.

01:52Yeah.

01:54I mean, over his last three games, he's got 29 targets, more than 30 over his last four

01:59games, five games rather, excuse me, just unbelievable, right?

02:03The target share has just exploded for him.

02:05Now the unfortunate thing is the Raiders aren't very good, which means he's only got one touchdown

02:09over that spam.

02:10How that happens, I'll never know, but I guess it's just the quarterback play at the end

02:13of the day.

02:14But Bowers continues to creep up in price.

02:17The problem is he doesn't come with as much touchdown equity.

02:19That's the problem.

02:20So he's more useful on a site like DraftKings where the full point PPR exists, as opposed

02:24to FanDuel where you're playing for the touchdown.

02:26Ferguson at 65, Evan Ingram at 64, especially with the injury to Christian Kirk.

02:30You're going to see Ingram work a ton.

02:32He's a really good value return on investment.

02:34Sam Laporta, who we've been waiting for, and last week I was unsure if we were finally

02:39going to get the Laporta game.

02:40Well, we did.

02:41Laporta broke out and my goodness, what an ass kicking the Detroit Lions put on the Titans

02:46last week.

02:47But Adam Troutman is an interesting one too.

02:49Now this is a former Saint, right?

02:51A guy that, you know, at some point crossed paths there with Sean Payton.

02:56Troutman is a guy at 4,400 that if you look at what he did last week, when all of a sudden

03:00they kind of had it with Greg Dulcich, four catches on four targets for 85 yards and a

03:05touchdown.

03:06And this week he gets the Baltimore Ravens who have given up the most points to tight

03:10ends this year.

03:11So it's one of those odd dart throw plays where I think a tight end, it's worth it.

03:16If he just gets the touchdown or even just has that same line without the touchdown,

03:21does a very interesting play this week.

03:23So keep an eye on Adam Troutman as a lineup builder.
