Here is the pricing over on DraftKings, is it? Or is it FanDuel, just to be clear here?
00:04
Okay, DraftKings. All right, so let's take a look at receivers. We'll start there, tier one guys.
00:10
There's one name that you want to stay away from here. It's the fourth name on that board.
00:15
Zay Flowers is not going to play for the Ravens. So maybe Rashad Bateman is an option there.
00:21
But George, it is very clear to me which way I'm going to be going in a lot of directions
00:27
this weekend with player props. And also yards, if you look over, I was looking at FanDuel today,
00:33
is that there's really no one hotter. I know it is crazy to say, you know, maybe, look, you can
00:39
take a look at Jefferson and you certainly, Jamar Chase had the great year. But George,
00:43
Lat McConkey is like the hottest wide receiver going right now in the NFL. Catches, yards. I
00:50
mean, his numbers over on FanDuel just for yards today, I was looking at some of the alt lines,
00:56
70 yards, 80 yards, like not even plus money. Like, this is Herbert's number one target.
01:02
I absolutely have to use him this week in every lineup that we're in until proven otherwise.
01:08
He's as hot as anyone going right now in the NFL. Agreed. He's the guy that's the must get here.
01:14
I mean, I like the price on George Pickett, the 6,300, but I mean, I don't know what's up with him.
01:19
All right. He has an awful game he had last week. Wasn't any better the week before either here.
01:23
They're not on the same page right now that Pittsburgh passing game. So the price may be
01:26
better and Pickett's may be the better receiver talent wise, but he's not playing like it,
01:31
you know, so I'm not going that direction. I think you can also look at two lesser
01:36
charger wide receivers and Quentin Johnson, Josh Palmer. They're going to put the ball up deep.
01:40
That's the way to attack using the secondary. So maybe you go, you catch a deep ball or two here.
01:44
I think you could go with charger stack. What I'm saying is you could go with Herbert over
01:49
Lamar Jackson as well as far as the quarterback here. So yeah, I'm going to go with McConkey here.
01:53
I'm likely going to throw Johnson at the massive game last week. We'll see if he can, you know,
01:58
sort of parlay that off in this game as well here. And I also like the charges to win the game. So
02:02
that's not as where I'm going that charger stack while passing game wise for me today.
02:08
Okay. So if for example, you went with two at the top, you have to find somebody from tier two or
02:12
tier three that we have here. And this is going to be really tough because I don't really like
02:17
any of the names here. I mean, Calvin Austin, a 4,000 Mechie 3,900. You're hoping for like a 30
02:23
yard touchdown Mechie better as the season went on, but certainly not playable in any fantasy
02:29
league. Aguilar, Mr. Playoff is back here. 3,400. Maybe that, that is a possibility.
02:35
Mike Williams really didn't do anything with Pittsburgh for the most parts in set trade 3,300
02:39
to Mario Davis 3,300 as well. I guess, Sam, let's keep going here because these options are just so
02:46
thin. Maybe we could find someone from the 3,000 board and Hutchinson, Jefferson, Wallace,
02:52
Shark, Dez Fitzpatrick, LaVisca, Chanel, Jalen Johnson. I mean, to me, that is an absolute
02:58
dart throw. If any, if you're using someone from that board right there, you're guessing.
03:03
Well, if we can go back a list here, I, there are a couple of guys I like on the second list there.
03:08
If you guys save money, yeah, that's the one here. Granted, they don't play for these teams,
03:12
right? Deontay Johnson is not a Baltimore Raven anymore. But yeah, we heard Houston mention today
03:17
that, hey, they're going to use him. They're going to go start feeding him the ball more.
03:20
I might like him. And by the way, speaking of guys that don't play, Mike Williams don't play
03:24
for the Chargers anymore either. He's on Pittsburgh, not touching him. Craig, someone
03:29
has to pick up Fize Flowers, all right? Bateman's going to be number one. Maybe he doesn't do well
03:36
being the top receiver here. But how about Nelson Aguilar? All right. He's had big moments.
03:43
Right. And I'm not expecting big. If I'm going to pay up for the top guys, which I'm going to
03:47
pay up for whatever, then I got to save money somewhere. I think Nelson Aguilar wouldn't be
03:51
a bad spot. I think for me, I may have to choose between Aguilar and the better receiver in Deontay
03:56
Johnson. Of course, Deontay's only been with that team for a couple of weeks. I don't know how much
03:59
of the offense he actually knows here. So that's going to be the wrestle I'm playing with here.
04:03
But I think Houston knows they may be a little bit behind the eight ball today. And I think
04:06
they're going to use Deontay Johnson a bunch here. Other problem is Chargers,
04:11
really good defense. That can be an issue as well here.
