00:00Let's take a look at this very difficult slate.

00:02Someone is going to make a lot of money today that probably hasn't made a lot all season long.

00:05This is a tough one because of the players that are in or out.

00:08You just really don't know.

00:09So, George, let's take a look at wide receivers.

00:12I don't know how you make these decisions with these names.

00:15Like, I mean, it is really, really tough.

00:18Pukunuku is 8,300.

00:20Is he playing?

00:22Mike Evans is 8,000.

00:24Is he playing?

00:25Nico Collins, 7,800.

00:28Don't know.

00:29A.J. Brown?

00:30Okay, here we finally got to somebody.

00:32Brian Thomas Jr., he's in.

00:347,300.

00:35Malik Nabors, 7,100.

00:36He's in.

00:38Hey, maybe my favorite one on this list is the one on the bottom there.

00:41Devontae Adams, 7,000.

00:43I know we played this last week.

00:44That didn't work.

00:45But Devontae Adams is going to catch a touchdown, I think, on Sunday.

00:49So I guess we can start there.

00:51But I've got to tell you, the next tier looks better to me than the first tier.

00:55Well, he's in.

00:57You're not playing Nicu, he's not playing, all right?

00:59A.J. Brown, not playing.

01:00So you're not playing A.J. Brown.

01:01So Nicu and Brown, you can take out right now.

01:03My number one guy will be Mike Evans.

01:05They have to play.

01:06All right, remember, they have to win the game, type of thing.

01:08All right, they have to win the game.

01:09Evans has all sorts of contract incentives in this game, right?

01:13He gets a $3 million bonus.

01:14He has over 10 touchdowns.

01:18He needs five receptions.

01:19He needs all three of these things and 85 yards.

01:22And 85 yards.

01:24Mike Evans is getting at least 86 yards and six receptions, okay, in this game.

01:29DraftKings, by the way, are a fan too.

01:30They're all over this, by the way.

01:31They keep with their props.

01:33You're going to pay for it if you want to go for it.

01:35So Mike Evans is my number one guy.

01:36He's getting that, all right?

01:38He doesn't need a touchdown, by the way, for the incentive.

01:39He already has more than 10.

01:40He has 11 on the season.

01:41So Evans will be my number one guy here.

01:43Collins can't touch because I think he starts, but I don't know how long he plays for.

01:47I have no problem with either rookie, Thomas or Navers.

01:49Navers has the toe injury.

01:51But he was cleared yesterday.

01:52He's going here.

01:53And we may not trust Drew Lock here.

01:54And I already said it.

01:55I think Giants win the game.

01:57I think Philadelphia wants the Giants to win.

01:58Wow.

01:59That's your boldest prediction of the year, by the way.

02:01I'm going to say.

02:02This is your boldest prediction.

02:03Philadelphia is not.

02:04They're playing a third string quarterback.

02:07Everyone is sitting.

02:08No Barkley.

02:08No Brown.

02:09No Smith.

02:11They just don't care.

02:12They just don't care.

02:14And I'm telling you, man, you know, Philadelphia was like, you know, we took Barkley from you.

02:17And now we're going to take the quarterback away from you too, right?

02:19You're not drafting one.

02:20Well, you win the game.

02:21Your first NFC East win.

02:23I don't see it.

02:23But Navers is my number one guy.

02:25I don't see it.

02:26But again, you know, you've been right before.

02:29I think it's like.

02:30Every now and then.

02:31It's only three, Sam?

02:36I thought it was more than that.

02:37All right.

02:38You know, I just cannot see the.

02:39Two and a half.

02:41I got two and a half.

02:43George is hitting the bet button.

02:47He's like, you know, George is a big better.

02:48He's like, give me another four dollars.

02:50Give me another two dollars.

02:51Give me another six dollars.

02:54All right.

02:55Let's go to the second tier.

02:56I like these players better, especially when it comes to Tyreek Hill at 6700.

03:01I don't care who the quarterback is.

03:03I think Hill's going to have a big day against the Jets.

03:06Drake London, the same 6500.

03:08I'll stay away from McConkie and McLaurin.

03:11Cortland Sutton 6400.

03:14Of course, they're playing for a lot this week.

03:15But I mean, I don't know.

03:18I think Kansas City may keep it close.

03:19But if it's not close, Cortland Sutton is coming out of that game.

03:22If it's not.

03:23Adam Thielen, by the way, is checking in here at 6200.

03:26And for good reason.

03:27This guy, since he's come back, has earned at least, George,

03:30the right to come back to Carolina for another year.

03:33Great.

03:33He's been very good again when healthy.

03:36Sort of like last year.

03:37So good for Thielen there.

03:38Cups to one guy there you're not taking.

03:40All right.

03:41Cup not going to play.

03:44I think Washington and Dan Quinn, I think they want to annihilate the Cowboys tomorrow.

03:48All right.

03:48I think they probably will.

03:49We're hearing now that Trey Lance is going to field.

03:53He's going to play a good part of this game.

03:54And by the way, the reason why is Cooper Rush has a $250,000 incentive.

03:59If he plays 55% of the snaps, which he would do if he played the entire game.

04:03Wow.

04:03That's sad.

04:04Yeah.

04:04So Dallas will manage.

04:05They're playing the game.

04:06They'll manage those snaps where he can't reach that.

04:08All right.

04:09That's terrible.

04:09He gets $250,000 for 45% that he will.

04:12You think they're going to do that to him?

04:14Yes.

04:15Usually teams don't.

04:15They do that to them?

04:16I think they'll use it as an excuse to play Trey Lance.

04:21And it's already been announced.

04:22I think one of the, uh, I think it might be Rappaport who announced that Trey Lance is

04:25going to play a significant part.

04:27So, uh, and I imagine that's the reason why you didn't play him at any other point.

04:31Why would you do it now?

04:32So, uh, yeah.

04:33So I'm going to, I'm going to like, uh, McLaurin a lot.

04:35The Jet Miami game, by the way, here tomorrow, uh, it's cold, right?

04:39It can be about 35 degrees at game time and 12 mile an hour wind.

04:42So keep that in mind there.

04:43Although I still do like Tyreke Hill, him, and I don't think Tua plays, but, uh, he played

04:47pretty well last week, so it looked pretty good.

04:49Drake London.

04:50There's another team that has to win the game.

04:52They're not going to play us anyway, but it has to win the game.

04:55All right.

04:55So I kind of liked him.

04:56Sutton has incentives coming in.

04:58I like, I like you.

04:59What'd you say your last time that you preferred this, uh, this grouping?

05:03Hard to argue with you.

05:07I'm not taking McConkie.

05:08I'm not taking Cup.

05:09I think you're good with everybody else.

05:10Yeah, I agree.

05:11And I like that list better.

05:13All right.

05:13So Jackson Smith at Jigba's price at 6,100.

05:16I guess they assumed when they made these prices that maybe Seattle wouldn't care.

05:20Boy, the head coach, uh, opposite this week.

05:22He said he's all in basically on 10 wins.

05:24So Seattle looks like they are absolutely going for it this week.

05:27Keenan Allen.

05:28Yuck.

05:28No, thanks.

05:29Uh, Garrett Wilson, 6,000.

05:31Devonta Smith.

05:32We won't see much of him.

05:33Xavier Worthy.

05:34Will we see him at all?

05:36Jawan Jennings.

05:36Does it matter who is the quarterback of the 49ers this week?

05:40Is it Dobbs?

05:41Dobbs.

05:41Josh Dobbs.

05:42Yeah.

05:43Dobbs is actually okay when he plays.

05:44I actually like that guy.

05:45But I don't know.

05:46I don't like that.

05:47Um, Jacoby Meyer is actually a decent game again last week for the Raiders.

05:53But probably not for me.

05:55We're getting thin here.

05:56What I probably would do as we get to that tier, George, is I think what I'm now starting

06:03to do is asking myself, okay, like who is Jimmy Garoppolo playing with this week?

06:08Who is Carson Wentz playing with this week that we don't have at all listed here?

06:13We're going to have players under 5,000 or at the minimum that we're probably going to

06:18want to use over some of these other names just because, uh, again, I, look, Jimmy G

06:23is not fantastic, but I think that he's going to go out there and try to throw a couple

06:26of touchdowns.

06:27You know what I'm saying?

06:28This week in the Rams, we'll have Van, not Van Jefferson.

06:31They used to have him.

06:31I don't know, uh, Demarcus Robbins.

06:34I don't know.

06:34There's good, there's, there's, there's going to be, you're right.

06:37Exactly.

06:37That's a great example.

06:38They're going to be players that we're not going to talk about at all.

06:41They're going to have two touchdowns in fantasy this week.

06:43This is a fact.

06:45Yeah, that's true.

06:45True.

06:46That was, uh, I think a perfect guy for this week.

06:47They could have a big game here.

06:49I was, I'm going to take JSN here.

06:50All right.

06:51Seattle, you said, they said they're going to play.

06:52I'll take them at their word.

06:53They're playing a Rams team.

06:54That's not playing anybody.

06:55So theoretically they should have the ball on offense a whole bunch.

06:58And you're, you said something very interesting.

07:00Uh, I guess the first group, whatever it was with Devante Adams, he's catching that 500th

07:05pass.

07:06Okay.

07:06The only way Wilson's going to get that early touchdown is if he breaks us, you know, a 75

07:10yarder.

07:11He's so that sort of eliminates his opportunities tomorrow here.

07:14So, uh, yeah, I'm not going to be, uh, too much into, into Wilson.

07:17He really, I love him and he's been catching a whole bunch of past here, but you know,

07:21anytime inside the red zone, Raj is going to have tunnel vision, but Devante Adams.

07:27All right.

07:27Then Wilson's not going to get that look.

07:28Not until he gets the 500th pass here.

07:30I said, Wilson might get it, but he is going to have to break a 75 yards, something like

07:33that, where something unexpected feeling at that 500th pass.

07:36So no, I'm not taking a Garrett Wilson tomorrow.

07:38So, uh, it's either I'm taking the top JSN or the bottom.

07:41It's going to be mine.

07:42I kind of like Joey Myers as well.
