00:00So daily fantasy, let's circle back to this tight end.

00:03Open and shut case for me,

00:05only player that I have to have in my lineup this weekend

00:08is the top guy.

00:10Just like last week, I'm doing it again.

00:13Travis Kelsey, 6,000, pay up, do it,

00:17don't think twice about it.

00:19Dallas Goddard, 4,500, Ertz, 4,300.

00:22And then you're really scraping the bottom here.

00:25I mean, taking a shot, honestly, on anybody else

00:28outside of those top three are pretty much crazy,

00:30but I would pay up for Kelsey in all my lineups.

00:33And even if he doesn't score a touchdown, George,

00:36seven catches, 80 yards, something along those lines,

00:39another good game is coming for him.

00:42Once again, I have nothing to add here.

00:44I think you're correct.

00:45And I like the top three, by the way.

00:47Oh, I think God's gonna have a big game

00:49because I think Hertz is gonna be looking

00:49to get rid of the ball a little quicker.

00:51And God, it'll be okay.

00:52Ertz, I think is gonna get the anytime touchdown.

00:54So I think he's gonna have a nice game here.

00:55What a rebound season he's had for the Commanders here.

00:58But Kelsey's the choice.

00:59It's hard not to go with him.

01:01They saved him for this.

01:02This is what they use him for, the playoffs.

01:04I mean, we all know it.

01:05You know it, I know it, the Buffalo Bills know it,

01:08and he's still gonna put up numbers.

01:09There's no one could seem to stop,

01:10which is strange, by the way,

01:11for a guy who's not super fast,

01:13that they still can't cover.

01:15It tells you how great he is,

01:16or how great Andy Reid is at scheming him open.

01:18But I'm right there with you.

01:20Travis Kelsey has to be in my lineup.

01:22All right, fair enough.

01:23Now, here is where the toughest part

01:26of our conversation comes, without a doubt.

01:27It's the quarterback position.

01:29And you just have to ask yourself,

01:31is there enough separation from Josh Allen to Mahomes

01:35to save the 1,500 to go in another position?

01:37Because that's the question everyone

01:38is gonna have to ask themselves this week.

01:40So Allen is 7,500, Daniels is 7,000.

01:43You're saving some, but honestly,

01:45if you're in the spot between the two,

01:46and I do love Daniels,

01:47you're probably gonna pay up for Josh Allen.

01:49I mean, you probably are just gonna do that.

01:50Philly's defense is much better.

01:52Jalen Hurts, biggest discount you're gonna get.

01:54It all sees along, 6,500.

01:57Mahomes is 6,000.

01:58And if you really wanna be opportunistic,

02:00you throw in Kenny Pickett for 4,500.

02:02But that would be, if you're setting 10 lineups,

02:06your 10th lineup would be with Pickett.

02:07I don't even know that it would be my 10th lineup.

02:12I'm probably not gonna go with Pickett.

02:14I agree with you.

02:15Now, once again, I am not starting Hurts.

02:17All right, I'm worried about the injury.

02:19I don't think he's gonna run.

02:20I just don't think he's going to run.

02:23Mahomes, I mean, he can run, all right?

02:25Now, I'm looking at Mahomes' props here

02:27as far as his rushing ability.

02:29We didn't talk about Mahomes' rushing.

02:30I love in the playoffs, quarterback rushing props,

02:33because I think they're not gonna try

02:35to protect themselves anymore.

02:36They're going to run because, hey,

02:37gotta move the chains here.

02:39Got no choice here.

02:39So I'm gonna be on Mahomes to run the ball.

02:41And I bring that up for DFS

02:42because I need those extra points.

02:44That being said, I can't go down to Mahomes.

02:47It's Daniels or Allen.

02:48And as you said, $500 difference here.

02:50Philadelphia does have the better defense.

02:52Now that Daniels can't go off,

02:53he did have a second game against Philadelphia.

02:55He went bananas here.

02:56Maybe he does it again, but I trust Allen more.

02:59He's going to run the football.

03:00He's going to run in those touchdowns.

03:02We know that.

03:03And he's a bull.

03:04He's just a bull.

03:05Hard not to like Josh Allen here.

03:07So yeah, I'll be paying up with Josh Allen as well.

03:11I think I'll just covering myself more.

03:13Plus, you know, I went through the other positions.

03:16If I need to save it, wide receiver,

03:18maybe I don't go at McClure.

03:19And then I'm okay with that.

03:21Cause I don't see him having a monster game.

03:22You know, so I'd be all right with that anyway here.

03:25So I'm going to go Josh Allen here,

03:27but Daniels is somewhat close.
