00:00Okay, it's time for the DFS week 18 plays.

00:03And I think this is where you're savvy.

00:04This is where you buy the boat.

00:06You know what I mean?

00:07This is where you kind of have the rotund belly

00:09and the cigar when you come back

00:10and people say, hey, how did you make your money?

00:11Was it in crypto?

00:12Was it in currency re-evaluation?

00:14No, it was in week 18 DFS.

00:15Joe, let's get us there.

00:16Let's start with the running backs.

00:18Bichon Robinson, 9,200.

00:20Jonathan Taylor, 8,500.

00:22Rico Dowdell, 7,100.

00:24I'll let you pick it up from there.

00:25Where can we find some value?

00:26Let's build some lineups.

00:27Well, certainly some value with Ray Davis

00:29all the way at the bottom at 6,200

00:31because the bills are resting on their starters.

00:33So you imagine Ray Davis is going to work

00:34and he's a nice little running back

00:35who's been in the system all year as a rookie

00:39and he has performed relatively well.

00:41Certainly has some goal line opportunity also in this game.

00:44We'll see against the New England Patriots.

00:45What's the one thing we know about the Patriots, Matt?

00:47They don't tackle anybody and it's week 18.

00:50So I don't think it's going to change.

00:51They give up a ton of yards on the ground,

00:54the New England Patriots.

00:54Tyrone Tracy Jr., 6,400, also a value.

00:57Look, you're probably going to want to go up

00:58to the Mike Evans or the Baker Mayfields today

01:00or some of those guys that are going to put up some big stats.

01:03So you got to find some salary relief.

01:05With Ken Walker out, Zach Charbonnet at 7K,

01:07also a good investment.

01:08So I'm going to fade the top.

01:10I'm going to fade the B. John Robinsons.

01:11Jonathan Taylor, I think, is a better investment.

01:13You're not going to have Saquon Barkley this week playing.

01:16He's out.

01:17Derrick Henry played yesterday.

01:19So the very top of the RB board is probably a fade.

01:23Rico Dowell at 7,100 is okay.

01:25But again, I think it's Charbonnet, Tyrone Tracy,

01:29Ray Davis.

01:30And then also I want to throw in Bucky Irving also

01:32because Bucky Irving, another guy that I don't think people

01:35saw this season coming for Bucky Irving,

01:37he has been tremendous with all said and done.

01:40And I think that you're looking at him coming

01:43into this game today where there's nothing

01:46but opportunity for him.

01:47And it's a good spot in this game.

01:49The price, again, you have to pay for it, 7,900,

01:52a little bit more on the expensive side,

01:53but certainly some value at RB.

01:55So really you have options, which is nice in week 18.

01:59So what you're looking for at running back is, again,

02:01teams playing against teams

02:03that have nothing to play for, right?

02:04So you have Ray Davis playing against the Patriots,

02:08not much to play for.

02:09You have Tyrone Tracy playing against the Eagles.

02:11We're sitting everybody.

02:12Zach Charbonnet playing against the Rams.

02:13We're sitting everybody.

02:14So, you know, most of those starters

02:16will come out at some point.

02:17Now the defenses, yeah, you know,

02:18even some of those starters you'll see come out

02:20because you don't want to lose your best pass rusher

02:23in the fourth quarter of a meaningless game

02:24right before the playoffs.

02:25That's just a stupid thing to do.

02:27And there was also moments in that game yesterday

02:29when I was watching the Baltimore Ravens,

02:31where I kept wondering,

02:32why is Lamar Jackson still in this game?

02:33Why is Derrick Henry still in this game?

02:35And I guess it's just because they were just trying

02:38to really reassert their dominance in this division.

02:41It looks like they basically have yet again.

02:44And is there any one in particular,

02:46maybe in the Niners in Arizona, in the backfield?

02:50I don't know.

02:52I said, he just wanted me to say Grendel like Beavis.

02:54That's all he's trying.

02:55That's all he wants to do.

02:58I said, Grendel.

02:59No, I don't know.

03:00I think I'm done with the 49ers.

03:01I think the 49ers are done.

03:02So let's just be done.
