Hey, good morning. Welcome. Little early

show today. Uh facilitating Josh's

schedule, which is fine. We used to

actually we used to do the showdown

strategy show early at nine o'clock

every t every day of the year that we

had these. And personally late,

>> I like that. I I prefer the nine

o'clocks, dude. I'm I'm a fan.

>> I'm way more early than late. I like Let

me get it done. I mean, I'm I'm the

dumbass that was running a 6:30 a.m.

stream for like three years.

>> Oh, the pro the process. Yeah, that's

right. I remember. And people tuned in.

But also, it's early in the day, so it's

like you have shelf life anyway. Even

even if you don't like even if you're

not watching live, it doesn't really

matter. So,

>> no, not at all.

>> We're dialed in.

>> We didn't really realize that for a long

time. Uh

>> yeah,

>> but now it's just like, yeah, it doesn't

that doesn't matter. Anyway,

>> yeah, like when when Matt Gajeski and I

and Alex Brown used to do it. Those guys

are on central time, so they'd be doing

8 a.m. shows. I'd be doing 9:00 a.m.

shows. But, um, good morning to all of

you. Hope you're having a wonderful day.

>> Can I just break in here? I miss AB.

>> I know, dude. I was I was actually

thinking about hitting him up the other

day. I was gonna ask We had a

conversation one time about like

Chicago.

>> No, he's not. He's in Florida, right?

>> He is. Yeah, you're right. You're right.

Yeah. Uh, oh no. So he was on My Time.

He was on My Time actually. I think he

had a place in Chicago. I feel like he

went back.

>> He was doing Chicago stuff. So he was

probably in

>> Oh yeah, he was doing Bears like pre and

postgame shows. That's right. Yeah. So

>> I think like daytoday he lived in

Florida if I remember correctly.

>> Then he Wait a second. Then he will be

in Chicago.

>> Oh, maybe. Yeah, that'd be sick if we

could loop up.

>> I might hit him up. I remember having

this conversation. He he he was telling

me how he still had a manual toothbrush

and I was like, "You gota you gotta

switch to the electric toothbrush,

brother."

>> Yeah.

>> It could change your life. And he's

>> I couldn't even imagine like using a

manual toothbrush now. That just feels

crazy.

>> Yeah. Yeah. It's um it's just ca caveman

style.

>> Yeah.

>> I know.

I haven't had a manual. I couldn't even

tell you how long.

>> But I will say I'm still very I'm still

very unskilled at flossing. So, I'm a

floss pick guy. I buy bags of floss

picks and I just hit the picks.

>> I can't

>> wait. Bag like this.

>> Yeah, dude. I mean, those are so much

better.

>> [ __ ] everywhere in my house. Th

>> They're so much better than having to

wrap it around your fingers and [ __ ] and

get my huge hands in there just

>> wrapping it around my neck.

>> Hopefully you guys are having a great

morning. This is the Showdown Strategy

Show right here on the Stacastic YouTube

channel. Yeah, we're one more time for

those of you guys jumping in a couple

minutes late. We're starting early, one

hour early. Same show as always. We got

everything lined up for you. Uh Josh has

something to do a little bit later

today. And uh instead of not doing this,

we figured let's get it out early. Uh if

you don't mind the tone for your sins

this fine morning, hit the thumbs up,

subscribe, it's free. And uh let me know

what type of build you're going with

down below in the comments because

you've got a very weird game today. I

said this yesterday on the single lineup

show though, Josh. I am If you were to

ask me and and I'll say this anytime if

you were to ask me, would you rather

have a showdown slate where you have

like two marquee teams with big names

and you're paying 10K plus for like six

different players or would you rather

have this kind of garbage type game

where you've got the Falcons who have

the worst offense so far in football?

We'll talk about Michael Penn. And then

you have the Packers who have literally

the worst offensive line in football. 10

times out of 10, I want the grimy game

on Thursday or Monday night. I think

from a DFS perspective, a showdown

perspective, they're better. And I've

always had more success with these type

of garbage games. I don't know why, but

that's the way it is.

I would much rather have a a game that

really feels random in No, not random,

but like I want the chaos in a game like

this. I'm in complete agreement with

you. Like obviously, yeah, it's better

if you're getting like, you know, the

two best teams in the league playing

each other and like you can sit down and

watch a good game. That's great, but

it's usually not as fun of a DFS

experience, barring something weird

happening. Whereas today, there's a lot

more chaos from top to bottom that

allows for like a much more unique

roster construction. There's not a lot

of things here where it there's no I

mean, Bejian is certainly to a degree,

but like it doesn't feel the same that

it has for the first two weeks. This

feels like a different lineup

construction across the board.

>> Yeah. And you you think about so far all

of the games that we've had in prime

time like even even Dallas and Giants

you still had an expensive Lamb, Dak

Prescott, right? Like George Pickins,

Jackson Dart, Malik Neighbors, all the

but now you're right outside of Bejon.

Well, the the interesting thing is how

big of a difference does Michael Penn

make? And here here's my thoughts on

this one. Is Michael Pennix going to

save the Falcons season? No, he's not

going to save their season. And I don't

think anyone's under any illusion that

they will. However,

you cannot you you can't be worse than

Cooper Rush and Jack Sh.

>> It does it doesn't actually get worse

than that. It's it's impossible to be

worse than we saw those guys play. Um

they they don't dude, how about this?

They don't have a single snap in the red

zone through two weeks. That's how bad

this team has been. Not a snap in the

red zone. Cooper Rush's first play from

scrimmage last week. scrambles and

fumbles, throws two more picks. Jack

Strang comes in, his first pass attempt

is a pick six. So, across the board,

it's bad. And yeah, you're right. Bean

deservedly expensive. This guy is so

good. Maybe the best in the league. But

then Jordan Love, Christian Watson,

Michael Pennix Jr., London sub 9K in the

flex now because, well, no one can throw

him the ball. And you got a guy like

Michael Pittz who closed out last year

really really well 6600 because once

again you know how the DraftKings

pricing algorithm works if no one's

playing them and they're not performing.

Like I don't know exactly how it works

but we know that ownership plays into it

including performance. Well, they

haven't performed. No.

>> I'm going to say something kind of dumb

here but I just it feels like he's just

been around forever in our industry. Has

Kyle Pittz been around so long that he

became Kyle Pitt's senior?

>> Yeah, he was not Kyle Pitts. Well, the

funny thing is he hasn't He's only in

like his what, fourth or fifth year?

>> I just feel like he's been the dude that

everybody in our industry has talked

about before started for so long that I

I can't remember how long he's been

here. So much so that I was just like,

"Oh my god, did he have a Kyle?" Like,

he's already become a senior since he's

been doing this [ __ ]

It

>> Yes, that's true. Oh yeah. Also, this is

actually

>> he started as Kyle Pittz Jr.

>> 20.

>> I know.

This is 2021.

2020. So, this is his sixth season.

>> That's crazy.

>> Everything blends Everything blends

together for me.

>> It really, dude. I feel like it he's

simultaneously in his second year and

he's,

you know, Grunk.

>> Yeah, pretty much. Pretty much. All

right. You ready to dive into this one?

I am. One last thing. I don't know if

you saw this. You probably haven't. This

is not NFL related. Uh, this will be

quick. Uh, did you see the Greg Papovich

news today? And

>> yeah, he's he's marrying like uh he's

marrying Coach Bud's ex-wife.

>> That's crazy.

>> Who came up under Pop? I guess Pop

>> Coach Bud is in his like Coach Bud is

like the first rung of Pop's or of like

Pop's coaching tree and coach and like

Pop is not in great shape.

>> No, but now he's he's married to Coach

Bud's ex-wife.

>> Yeah. Hasn't he had like multiple health

scares and issues?

>> He he had like a real bad stroke if I

remember. I think it was a stroke if I

remember.

>> Is he just a scumbag?

>> I don't know what the I mean like his

wife died and like you know who knows.

Oh, so he was widowed.

>> Yes,

>> we'll give him a pass.

>> A couple a couple years ago.

>> We'll give him

>> and then he had the strokes if I if I'm

if I'm remembering that order of

operations correctly. But yeah, uh

that's a wild one.

>> So it's Ben Holtzer's ex-wife.

>> Yeah. Now they've been they've been

married or they've been divorced for

like 10 plus years. So it's not like,

you know, they split up last week.

>> I mean, there's a lot of fish in the

sea, though. It's still kind of weird.

But I guess the heart wants what the

heart want

>> evidently. Sorry. All right. I just had

I saw it last night and I I needed to

have some words to talk about that on a

show.

>> All right. Yeah, it is actually insane.

So, here's what we've got, right?

>> Falcons

here. Here's the one thing that this is

this should this should shock not shock,

but this should come as at least a

reminder to everyone who comes into

these games just immediately being like,

"Oh, Falcons are terrible. Smash Packers

51. See the first profit already said

Packers 5-1. You see on the screen,

dude, this opened at seven. Seven. Okay.

Now, of course, that was still before we

knew Pennix was coming back. Then it

moved to five and a half yesterday. Now

it's at 4 and a half, dude. So, it moved

through seven. It moved through six. And

now it's sitting at 4 and a half with a

43 and a half point total. But before we

get into any of the actual plays, you

can't ignore the fact that a seven to

four and a half is a pretty big swing in

a game like this on short rest. I really

think a lot of it sure has to do with

Michael Penn just impossible to be bad

or as worse as what we saw. But the

Packers offensive line has been so bad

and they're even more injured now that

if you we've learned in football if you

don't have a line that can block you

kind of nothing matters.

>> That's a wild move though.

>> Yeah, it's a big it's a big move, dude.

It's a really big move.

>> I'm looking through it now.

Like I mean it's it's like to move

through key numbers too is wild.

>> Yeah. And it's not like Pennix is coming

in as

someone with like real name value like

>> No. And he's coming off

>> like

>> but fresh off an ACL.

>> Yeah. Yeah. This is

it's new for like right now coming back

from an injury.

>> Yeah. It's it's not it's not like Dak

Prescott coming in for Cooper Rush when

Cooper Rush was their backup. That's not

It's a very different situation.

>> Michael Pennix wasn't going to be the

starter this year. Think of it like

that. He wasn't even going to be the

starter. It was Tua.

>> Do you So, what do you make of that line

movement then?

>> That that the Packers offensively

um I mean it's it's any given week,

right? but that that the offensive line

is is so bad that they're going to

continue to struggle in most games. And

like you look at the Falcons, a lot of

the struggles they saw last week, don't

get me wrong, because the defense wasn't

great, but they they are also like the

offense was so bad. It wasn't so much

that the defense was just so bad that

that they couldn't do anything. It was

more so that like here you go, right?

Packers uh or hold on. Fal Packers

passing game versus Falcons defense.

Falcons D um is so far 14th in pass

defense and pass protection. Packers are

are terrible. Like look at Packers pass

protection 31st and I'm pretty sure

they're actually 32nd. Um they've had

explosive plays but almost all of those

came against Minnesota and then

Minnesota still won that. Another thing

too, Josh, look, Pack, here's another

big one. Packers run game, they've

manufactured nothing on the ground, 32nd

in run in run offense, and the Falcons

run defense has actually been pretty

good. So, if you look at advantages,

both teams have advantages. It just

doesn't look like the Packers have a

sevenpoint advantage.

>> 30 Atlanta dead last in offensive EPA

per play, right?

>> Green base. Now, that's Cooper Rush,

though.

>> Yeah. Yeah, sure. 31st and 32nd in

success rate. So, the two worst teams in

the NFL offensively in success rate.

>> Uh, pressure rate allowed for Green Bay,

30th.

I mean, it's just it's a sea of bad red

numbers. Yeah.

>> In these offensive marks.

>> Yeah,

>> it'll be terrible. Like, yeah, I mean,

you said it sort of best from the

beginning of the show. Like,

uh, no matter what you think of PennX

coming into this, it can't be any worse

than being the worst [ __ ] offense so

far.

>> Exactly. It's It's actually an upgrade.

Look, here's his stats. 22 for 39, less

than six yards per attempt, one

touchdown, and that was to Bejon. It was

just a layup. Four interceptions, sub

five yard a dot because it's all going

to Bejon.

So yeah, it's it's terrible, man. It's

it's really bad. And while you could say

what you want about Michael Penn Jr. and

you see his 2025 stats, still a massive

upgrade, right? A massive upgrade. He

was actually willing to throw down field

a little bit. He could actually complete

some deep passes. I'm going to get into

the data hub right now so we can look at

all of this. But the one thing I want to

say to anybody watching and to you too,

if you think about Drake London and Kyle

Pittz, they were not just neutered, but

with Cooper Rush and the offense, they

were taken out of the offense because he

couldn't throw more than five yards

downfield. At least Pennix can do that.

>> Yeah. I mean, Kyle Pittz has four

targets.

>> Yeah. Right.

It's all Bejon because Cooper Rush was

afraid to throw and when he did, he got

picked off. So, it's still a big

upgrade. There's no doubt.

>> Austin Cooper has as many targets.

>> Yeah, I know. I know. And I don't think

that's the fault of Kyle Pittz.

>> No.

>> Eric, can we look into Green Bay running

back situation because I have no clue

what's who's going to get the reps. Oh,

yeah. We're going to we're doing all of

that right now, brother.

>> So, here we go. You have the data hub. I

did run the Sims as well. We'll get into

our exposures in just a second, but the

first thing that to talk about here,

you're talking quarterback

cap. Look at this. So, optimal captain

or captain ownership, you have Jordan

Love at 14%, Michael Penn Jr. at 4%.

Optimal captain, Jordan Love 10%,

Michael Penn at two. So, Jordan Love

actually negatively leveraged here in

the captain spot. If you look at uh all

of these positions, your optimal captain

is Bejian Robinson 30% of the time.

That's only one of the numbers, Josh.

The other number is that he has 26 right

now projected percent captain ownership.

4 and a.5% positive leverage on a guy

that is almost $12,000 and way more than

that a captain. It just goes to show you

what type of an impact he has. Going to

be hard to get away from him today. But

the fact that London and Pitts are so

much cheaper than they should be with

even semicompetent quarterback play

definitely has me interested in them as

well.

>> Yeah, Bejan looks like very clearly the

best play that you can get to and also

like the most fascinating guy to just

not put in the lineup if you need to.

It's weird weird. You don't typically

see a guy be $1,800 more expensive than

the next most expensive guy in the game

and he's still underowned at captain.

>> Exactly. You don't see that. But then

you leave him out because he's currently

projected to be in 78% of lineups. It's

like, okay, I've got Pennix, Pitts,

someone else from the Atlanta offense,

maybe Falcons D, and all of a sudden

you've got a very unique lineup and, you

know, 40% of the time it's probably

decent.

>> So here's my thing is that we actually

right now have Bejon as a better captain

play than a flex play. Yeah.

>> You know what I mean? Like that to me is

the is the big thing here. It doesn't

mean he's a bad flex player. His optimal

is right around where his ownership is.

But my guess and I'll I'll show you guys

right now. We won't bury the lead here.

Let's see. At flex, we have 39% Bejian

and a captain. There you go. 49. So

dude, we're 2x the field on Bejian at

captain right now. Are do are you fine

with that? getting 2x the field on Bejon

at captain and a little underweight at

flex.

>> Yeah, I mean if it's going to happen

it's it's going to be that way where

he's either amazing and he is the

captain dude or I'm going to play the

salary game and

he needs so much to get into a flex spot

at 118 that if I'm trimming it anywhere,

it's certainly at the flex.

>> Yeah, exactly. I like the way that that

is coming together.

>> And you're still getting what? 80% no

90% Beijon. What do we have? 39% at

Flex. Yeah, you're getting 90% Beijon

altogether. What's interesting to me

though, and this is like this is where

my head went before I I haven't looked

at exposures. This is my first exposure

to our exposures right now. I didn't I

didn't know what our London and Pitts

exposure would look like a captain, but

sure enough, they are second and fourth

in exposure and we are not a ton, but we

are a little bit overweight to those

guys and I think that just has to do

with the value there that they should be

more expensive on a showdown site.

>> Yeah, I think the path looks pretty

clean to London captain, Penn's captain,

Pitts captain.

Uh, this won't be a fun thing to say out

loud, but like Nick Faulk is mildly

interesting to me if the offense can't

totally get it done, but you're just

launching up a bunch of 40 yard field

goals.

>> I think I actually think so for sure.

Yeah,

we we've seen this stuff win before.

>> Yeah.

>> And some of these teams live between the

the 20s, the 30s, right? like they just

they can get in the range and then they

stall. The Packers have a good defense.

It's actually not the craziest thought

in the world.

>> I mean, you could just get done telling

me that like they don't do they haven't

done anything in the red zone yet.

>> Exactly.

>> Good. Good if you're taking the kicker.

>> Yeah. I mean, different quarterback, but

still not We talked about it. He's

coming off an ACL. You don't know what

you're going to get out of someone like

him. Um the and and the other thing too

is Stephen asked so human psychology

will people trim Bejon a little after

being burned last week? Uh I don't think

so at all. If this were a main slate

like a 12 13 game main slate very

possible. Yes. And I think Bejian might

look really really good. Um it's a

oneame slate Stephen. So what are you

trimming him to? What's what are you

pivoting on? projected for five more

fantasy points than anybody else on the

day and that includes quarterbacks.

>> Yeah, that's a crazy that's crazy.

>> Yeah, he is. Yeah,

>> it's real tough. It's just so much dump

off [ __ ] that you just accumulate points

by default.

>> Like it's it feels like McCaffrey where

it's just like he's just gonna be

involved.

>> Exactly. And you're just so good. It's

not like a middle-of the road guy who

you're just jamming opportunities to

because you don't have alternatives.

With a guy like Bejan, the idea is he is

so good that we need to get him the

ball. It's not well just get him because

there's nobody else. And

>> yeah,

>> yeah, I I think that's pretty

significant.

>> 118 $1,800 more than Jordan Love and

five more fantasy points. Well, I know.

Well, what what I wanted to see is what

do our Bejon captain lineups look like?

And I bet they're not bad because you

just mentioned, yeah, he's 118, but what

about some of these other guys? Like

even a captain, he's 17-7 in the flex

though, you don't have anyone. Jordan

loves 10k flat. Christian Watson's 98,

Pennix is nine flat. London's sub 9K.

And then you have to get through. So to

a Tiga Valoa, you don't have to worry

about him. Josh Jacobs, don't have to

worry about him. Or Jack Strand or

Cooper Rush. You have to come all the

way down to $7,800

to get the next, when I say viable

player, I don't mean a guy that you want

to play. I mean the next guy that's even

going to be on the field. And that's

below $8,000. Lloyd's 74, Craft is 7K,

Pitts is 6600. You don't, this is not a

slate where it's like, okay, well, I got

Bejon. Now, how do I fit Cidi Lamb and

Dak and Pickins and Javvante Williams?

It doesn't exist. That's not happening

on this slate.

>> I'm not looking at the exposures of your

sim right now. Like, they're on my

screen, but I haven't looked. Are we

getting Charlie Werner?

>> Well, on the screen with like a really

big number.

>> Funny you'd say that because the highest

sim lineup that we have now, I don't

know how much we're getting of him. I

will check.

Wait, hold on. What are these?

>> W E.

>> No, I know. For some reason,

it like auto filters to captain

sometimes. Yeah, we're getting 7%

>> Charlie Warner at captain or at flex.

Sorry.

>> Okay, I was gonna say at flex. My fault.

My fault.

>> I thought it was going to be more than

that in the flex, but when you told me

that that was the captain, I felt quite

different. But clearly that's

>> yeah that'd be yeah that like be 50% at

flex but our highest simmed lineup. So

you run these sims these sims tens of

thousands of times. I thought you did a

great job explaining this last week or

the other week about how these sims work

and and what makes them a positive sim

ROI. If you guys have questions on that

happy to answer them again.

>> Yeah.

>> But the highest sim one has Charlie

Warner. It is Bejon, Charlie Warner,

Christian Watson, Falcons defense,

Jordan Love, and Matthew Golden. Not

going to lie, that's not a bad lineup at

all.

>> No, not a problem with that one bit.

>> I mean, you think about it, you still

have

think of Okay, so when we're talking

about is it is Bejian Robinson at

captain pro makes anything prohibitive?

Well, if I told you that we were able to

get the number one and number two

receiver for the Packers on the other

side of this this lineup with their

quarterback and Jordan Love, well, no,

it's not hard at all.

I do I do hate the bike. It is an

interesting combination between like

Wernern and Hooper.

Hooper is way more expensive, not

getting any real love,

but

and Charlie Warner really you just you

need. So I I would I have thoughts on

this and I've I've I've discussed this a

lot. Uh Big K, that's a bad lineup, bro.

I'll tell you what, BK. If

Okay, so mainly because Falcons defense

that's the problem with a lot of

people's thinking when it comes to to to

showdown slates. you're playing a large

field showdown slate. When you look at

something and you assume it's a bad

lineup, a lot of times it isn't. Um, in

a low-scoring game like this, 43 and a

half point total and the Packers having

the worst offensive line in football and

just lost two more starters on the line.

The idea that the Packers could not have

the idea that the Packers could have a

defensive touchdown or or five sacks or

interceptions and Jordan Love could

still get there with a double. Uh yeah,

that's very very very possible in a spot

like this. Uh playing defenses against

the other players in showdown sites is

not a bad idea, even though it looks

like it.

>> Yeah. Like all it takes is somebody to

take a punk to the house or a kick to

the house that has nothing to do with

anything and it's like, oh [ __ ] they're

already at six.

>> Yeah. Well, and you have to think about

this in a lowscoring environment. That's

assuming it's g we can't guarantee it's

going to be a low-scoring game, but in a

low-scoring environment, it's even more

likely for something for something such

as that to happen. And

>> yeah, you need a lot less points from an

individual roster spot at that point.

You don't need your defense to have 27

if the final score of the game is 1812.

>> Like if the Falcons today,

>> let's say the Falcons gave you eight,

Josh, right? Falcons give you eight

today,

>> which is is not great, but it's not bad.

>> But at 3,400, eight is more than you get

from probably anybody in that range most

of the time, right?

>> Well, the Vikings in week one had eight

fantasy points. And I you don't have to

be like, well, Brian Flores isn't the

coord. It doesn't matter. It's a oneame

slate. They had eight against the

Packers in week one. Guess who was in

most of the winning lineups? Jordan Love

with Golden and with with Christian

Watson or just Jordan Love and and

Christian Watson. So,

>> I'm not saying that the Vikings were in

the optimal, but they still finished

with eight. And the guy going up against

them who's going out there today also

had a dominant game and Christian Watson

scored twice and they ended up being in

winning lineups. Yeah, so much of it

just comes down to like,

you know, how many touchdowns actually

got scored? How many guys got tackled on

the one instead of

>> Yeah.

>> got into the end zone. And now the

overall score isn't getting these guys

six on six on six. It's three to the

kicker, three to the kicker. And all of

a sudden, those defensive numbers just

become more and more valuable at a what

$3400 price tag for the Falcons D. Like

that is about as cheap as anybody on

this slate is today.

>> It's also it's like BKG says it would

rather Brian Robinson Jr. or Alamay

Zakius than that crazy build.

If you're if you're playing large field

tournaments on showdowns,

crazy builds

can win um and do win a lot. This lineup

probably doesn't win. I mean, you can

almost assuredly say that this lineup

isn't going to win because there's what?

Hundreds of thousands, millions of

combinations.

>> Yeah, hundreds of thousands, I guess.

But,

>> I mean, like, of like real lineups or

like lineups that can I mean, you know,

you can get to a crazy amount of lineups

if you're willing to just use anybody

anywhere,

>> right? But there's a lot of

combinations. We'll put it like that.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. Exactly. But that's what I'm

saying. Packers are getting sacked three

and a half times per game so far.

Assuming my quick look up is correct.

Look, I'm not saying I love the Falcons

at all. This isn't a

>> There's a reason they're 15% owned.

>> Yeah, it's it's really just the fact

that there are going to be spots that

may not look good to the casual observer

that actually make sense. The second

build is Kyle Pittz, Bejan, Drake

London, Falcons, Michael Penn Jr., and

Packers defense. Now, that to me, like

if you wanted to say there's a crazy

build that you might want to get away

from, fine. A 51 with a Packers defense,

you could you could convince me that,

you know, that's not my favorite build.

>> Yeah,

>> for sure. But the other one isn't really

all that crazy because it's a it's a 33.

Here's a Green Bay 51, Josh, with Bejon

at captain. No issues with that either.

No, I can. I'm looking at the screen

now, so we're looking at I was trying to

avoid seeing any of it to like get my

thoughts out before it was like, "Oh,

yeah, that guy is 40% positively

leveraged. Why Why don't you like him?"

But, um, I mean, I really do like that

first lineup a lot. I don't love the

second one nearly as much, but again,

you're leaving $2,100 on the table.

>> You're probably entering that lineup and

not having anybody join you. At least

>> I cannot imagine that's duped a single

time across every DraftKings contest.

>> It'll just be I'll have that lineup and

I'll be duped with Alex.

>> Yeah, right.

Um

Sam, people don't understand three sacks

and an interception are more than enough

to be optimal in a 1712 loss. Well,

yeah, and exactly. Maybe the Packers

figure something out in the offensive

line and Atlanta's defense is trash. But

Atlanta's defense in week one really

wasn't even that bad. The only reason

they lost was because TJ Watt picked six

Cooper Rush. Cooper Rush was the best

offensive player for the Steelers that

game. Um, but going back to the Charlie

Warner thing that you had asked about,

the reason I don't mind going to guys

like Warner in spots like this, and I I

much prefer it over like a Bills Lions

game with a 53 and a half point total,

is because if he were to have one for

seven and a touchdown today, that could

clearly be optimal. It's really hard to

do even at that cheap price point. It's

really hard to do that and be optimal in

a game that ends up scoring 60 points.

>> Yeah. You just might end up with too

many other dudes having more raw points.

>> Exactly.

>> Yeah.

>> When you can start bunching those

together, then you start grabbing

individual guys from like different

salary tiers that you didn't think could

get in that build. But once everybody

has, you know, there's eight guys that

have 15 fantasy points, it doesn't

matter how good that value is typically,

unless it's all the top dudes. Bejon's

got two TDs and you know London has you

know nine catches for 100 and then all

of a sudden you're sneaking that six

point dude in at 600 bucks

>> right so you paid up for all of the

premier players those are the only guys

that do anything and he sneaks in a

six-y touchdown yes

>> yeah but the moment you start getting

like good performances from I'm just

picking names in the bottom here Dodson

Moore Brian and Robinson Jr. Zakay like

if those are the guys that are sneaking

in for all those touchdown then they're

just pulling from each other

>> or even big per like solid performances

from the defense and kickers.

>> Oh yeah for Yeah. I mean all it you

start getting 250 you get a 40 and a 50

yard field goal and you're really in

trouble with that kicker at that point.

>> Exactly. Yeah.

>> Nine plus any touchdowns like it gets

scary then

>> big. Yeah. Has there been a lineup that

won with a player not scoring a fantasy

point in a weird Oh yeah. A lot of times

actually

>> I think last week somebody I saw

somebody with a screenshot with a zero.

[ __ ] Who were uh was it Frank or kid

that I think I saw somebody with a

screenshot with a zero and he won?

>> Oh winner figures or something. Yeah.

>> Wow. And that would be a game I would

not expect that to happen.

>> And that could have been like a a high

dollar contest, you know, smaller [ __ ]

It was like the big big but

>> but it might might have also been like

what you're saying where they had Allen

Gibbs St. Brown, you know, like concaid

and then they just

got a zero. So, it's possible. Um, one

>> Hey, there's a bonus uh showdown next

week. We got our first international

week on Sunday.

>> Who in Commanders?

>> Uh Colts Redskins. Sorry I if that was

tough to if you didn't hear me there

correctly. No, I I didn't.

>> Oh, yeah. So, that's a dog [ __ ] game at

9:30 a.m. on next Sunday.

>> That sucks cuz it would have been good

with Jaden Daniels.

>> I don't want to talk to his I don't want

to talk about it.

>> Yeah,

>> that looked gnarly, man.

>> Second time it's happened in a year,

too.

>> Rough sucks for

>> It's the worst. That's Last week was

tough for like liking the NFL. It's just

we're everybody just every [ __ ]

quarterback just gets hurt.

>> I know. It It sucks.

>> And the backups are [ __ ] terrible.

>> It sucks. It's especially because like

you just said, the backups are so bad

that there's really just

there's no way to fix that. It sucks.

>> Am I just remembering my youth

differently? Like did it just not h Did

it happen more then or less then? Like

is is everybody just too big and strong

and fast and like you just can't help it

now? Like we're just going to lose 15

starter quarterbacks every year.

>> I think it's just Nah, I don't think so.

I I don't think so. I mean the their

their health should be better than it

ever was. You know, treatment and

recovery should be better than it ever

was.

>> Yeah. But until you get hit by like a

[ __ ] SUV running across the middle

and like

>> I think a lot of it too is that just you

have I mean a lot of these mobile

quarterbacks put their body in harm's

way very not to say that didn't used to

happen. I don't I don't know. I I feel

like the offensive line play for a lot

of these teams has been terrible, but

Jaden Daniels literally just slipped.

>> Yeah.

>> So it's hard to say. I don't know.

>> All right. I want to go.

>> It's tough, man. It's tough cuz these

guys these backups just get trotted out

here and they're all [ __ ] trash.

Makes me feel bad. My buddy, you know,

coming out of college trying to get his

way be a quarterback, got to the Arena

League. It's like, now's the time, man.

They would have took your shitty ass

immediately nowadays.

>> You'd have been set, brother.

>> Bean Robinson, we already know exposure

there.

>> Jordan Love 45%.

Michael Pennix at flex 43%.

Now, do we have

>> that's the play, right? That's Pennix

captain is the probably my favorite play

of the day.

>> Oh, a captain.

>> Yeah, has to be right. He What do we

have projected for three 4%.

>> Yeah, we're we're only getting one

Michael Penn captain lineup.

>> What if they just win?

>> Yeah, I know. I mean, it's probably be

Well, you Here's the thing, though. We

have we don't have Penn at captain at

all, but we we have ex we have like se

quasi exposure to pen at captain because

we have like 17% between London and

field uh pits and we're above the field

on them and really like all of our

captain exposure outside of Drake London

is concentrated around Atlanta players.

So we're not getting to a lot of Pennics

at captain. Also, it sucks. He doesn't

really run that much either, and that's

probably one of the reasons that we're

not getting to a ton, but it's not like

we're getting away from the skilled

players there. So, I'm not surprised to

see that at Flex because we have so much

Atlanta at captain that we're getting,

you know, 43%. Wouldn't be surprised

when the slate locks if we're well above

50% at Michael Penn's flex. But it does,

it does. The one thing that really stood

out to me is on a day like today, we

have a decent amount at flex for both

quarterbacks and a combined 3% at

captain.

>> Stephen just dropped it in the chat. I

think Pennix's rushing prop is like

three and a half yards.

>> Oh yeah, dude. Yeah. Yeah, he's uh

>> Yeah, he's

>> Penn is 100% a fade at captain. He's

currently projected for [ __ ] 3%

ownership. So

>> yeah, Sam, I said the same thing. This

is how I open the show. Yeah, prefer I

prefer these type of bad showdowns to

good ones for DFS, hands down. I don't

think the schedule makers had this in

mind, but

uh Bejian at 126 for rushing and

receiving. Dude, he's there. He's That's

where he is every single week. He was

even higher in week one. It's

ridiculous.

>> Crazy.

>> For real, though. 10% Penn captain

doesn't affect your life if you're 150

maxing, but it's like, okay, cool. I get

the quarterback of one of the teams

deal.

>> Very easy for that to break. Well,

>> it's it's not a crazy idea at all uh to

go to Michael Penn at captain. I I like

London more and I like Pittsmore.

>> Sure. just because you have Bejon in

there and you don't have mobility in

Michael Penn or at least he's unwilling

to. But I get where you're coming from.

Um

>> I like I I would agree with the pits

piece because he is also pretty equally

unowned and that captain will allow you

to get to more of the top end at the

flex.

>> Real quick, Jojo says they don't train

the same way in the offseason. Nobody's

getting hit. So part of that I agree

with. It's definitely less contact in

the postseason or in the preseason, but

it wouldn't have mattered with Jaden

Daniels. It also wouldn't have mattered

with Jackson Dart, right? He got

destroyed because they couldn't block. I

don't care if you've been taking contact

for five straight months leading up to

that game. If you're Jackson Dart and

you get hit in that situation, your knee

is just blowing up. Like there's not

>> Yeah.

>> I mean, it's it's actually a miracle

that his knee didn't fully blow up.

>> Also, you know, maybe it's good long

term to not be uh practicing like that

in the offseason so you don't have to

like glue your teeth back into your

mouth later in life.

>> Yeah. I I think there's some spots where

definitely these guys get banged up

early and they miss a couple weeks early

in the year because they're they're not

pract they're not playing for contact. I

think some of it is more so just that

defenses might struggle early on and

because you're not used to like it's

just now you're actually in a real

setting and they don't they don't play a

lot of guys in the preseason anymore.

So,

>> I mean, I think I really do think a lot

of it is sort of like the way baseball

has gone where everybody in the bullpen

throws a [ __ ] 105. And now it's just

like you've got somebody coming from

everywhere that's essentially more

athletic than anybody ever used to be.

Whatever edge somebody's coming from,

they're better than ever. Somebody's

coming up from coming through the middle

and that dude is built like no one had

ever. And like no matter where you're

getting it from, you're probably getting

hit by like an automobile when it

happens.

>> It's It's 100% true. Yeah. Even some of

these corners lay some damaging hits.

These guys just

>> Everybody's just different.

>> And like look, it's always going to be

happening like that. But in the 90s,

we'd only had football for like 20 years

of like real football now.

>> And you know what else it is to your to

the point you're making? the speed of

the game is way faster now. So, these

guys are stronger. They're they're

they're they're more athletic and it's

just way faster. So, when you get popped

coming across the middle, it's like you

got hit by a freight train. Yeah.

>> Yeah. Like everybody's built like

Lawrence Taylor now.

>> Mhm.

>> Not just like, oh, they've got Lawrence

Taylor.

>> Yeah.

>> Taylor, dude, they're freaks.

All right. Uh, okay. So, here's Flex.

I I'm actually very on board with our

exposures right now. This to me looks

like something I would be like Trey

Smack. So you've got a a 25% owned

kicker or exposed kicker, 29% Packers,

Pitts at 37, Bejian at 39. We have a ton

of captain Drake London at 40. Falcons

we have a lot. So, I would probably

bring per personally

I have no problem being overweight to

the Falcons if they're only 15% in flex.

I I don't really have a ton of interest

in being almost 3x the field there.

>> No, they're they're an immediate

negative 5% ROI boost.

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> Just like to take it from 42 to like 34

is just way more comfortable. All right.

Make it 10.

>> I did 15. Get him to 33. There you go. I

mean, if you did a negative 20, you're

still There you go. You're still 2x the

field. That's fine for me, right?

>> Yep. Absolutely.

>> No issues there. Bring them down a

little bit. It brings the Green Bay

kicker up, which I think that's kind of

I'm Yeah, that that works for me.

>> If I'm bringing the Falcons defense down

for that, I want more slightly more of

Trey Mack.

>> Yes.

>> Also,

>> Golden and Christian Watson are two more

guys in here that we're getting some of.

And I already showed you our captain

exposures. Now, the other thing that we

should look at here is the running back

position because a few of you guys

>> were asking about that. And here's

here's where the issue lies. You can

definitely play running backs for the

Packers side,

>> but from a projection standpoint, this

is this might be the biggest disparity

you'll see all year, Josh. I threw it up

on the screen between one running back

on one team to the other running backs

on the other team. Bejian's at 22.8.

Lloyd is at 76. Chris Brooks is at 6.7.

Caleb Johnson is at 6.5. That's just

absolutely disgusting.

>> Dude, all three of those guys combined

are less than Ban.

>> You're right. Yeah, you're right. They

are gross. And I I p I made this for you

guys before the show. So, you look at

running backs. Brian Robinson's still

getting some work. That's skewed a bit

because he got all of the fourth quarter

work in a blowout last week.

>> Bean, they just decided what's the

point, right? But Bejian's been good.

>> And look look at Green Bay, Josh. Like

look at look at these Green Bay splits.

It's disgusting.

>> I'll tell you this much. If you're

confident in one of those names,

congrats.

You're on an island.

you're on a big time island. Yeah, I

think a lot of people would probably

just say, "Well, give me Marshon Lloyd

just because he should get, you know,

more work than the others." But in week

two, Marshon Lloyd played 16 snaps.

Chris Brooks played 27. Caleb Johnson

played 16. That's disgusting. You look

at opportunity share there. Eight total

opportunities for Marshon Lloyd in that

game. Brooks in the same game had six.

And then Caleb Williams, who or Caleb

Johnson, sorry,

who was supposed to be good for the

Steelers. They let him go after a couple

years. He had eight as well. So, eight,

six, and eight for Lloyd, Brooks, and

Johnson, respectively.

And they can't block and they can't

generate anything on the ground. You're

going to have to hope one of these guys

falls into the end zone. And that might

probably doesn't even matter. Marshon

Lloyd is 7400.

>> That's a good point. That's a crazy $400

cheaper than Golden and five fantasy

points behind him.

>> Crazy price point.

>> Even if Lloyd scores, it's got to be

more like one of those one of Brooks and

Johnson basically has to like not

participate

>> for Lloyd to like really pay have a

chance to pay off seven. Like he's got

to break one. And Lloyd's EPA per carry

is

>> minus.48.

Like that

>> not good, Bob.

>> That is just not yards after contact per

attempt. One. One.

>> He has.

>> Man, I got some great stats in here. Uh

I didn't even know all of these were in

here. One zeros for these morons.

>> I know. One broken tackle in two games.

A a lot of this is surely an indictment

on the offensive line, but does it

matter? Like, does it it doesn't really

matter, right? These are the numbers.

And the Atlanta Falcons have actually

done a good job stopping the run. That's

the other thing. The Falcons got their

their dicks kicked in last week, but

they still were able to stop the run in

back-to-back weeks for the most part.

So, just looking at this, we should

probably pull up our exposures, right,

to these guys.

I mean, I'm running away. I I would want

zero of Lloyd because of his price tag.

I just don't know how you pay it off

given how tumultuous this back field is.

>> Like 70 7,400 is a crazy number.

>> It's It's crazy. So, we're not getting

>> He has to score twice basically or score

from the other 20

>> unless he somehow breaks one. But the

other thing, this guy's been injured so

much. You want to talk like Kyle Pittz

was the guy you were saying everyone

talked about. Marshon Lloyd's another

one that people have been been hanging

around waiting for this for a very long

time. Uh him and Jonathan Brooks and

Brooks is hurt again. These guys never

got healthy. It's kind of a shame. It's

unfortunate but we've never actually

seen Marshon Lloyd do anything in

regular season before. It was just hype.

Maybe and maybe he will end up be being

good once the offensive line if they

figure it out. But right now this line's

so bad. So to your earlier point from

just a second ago, we're not getting

zero, but we're at 10%. We're not

getting overweight or underweight. It's

basically just like a hedge play there.

We are, however, getting 20% Brooks at

Flex and he's 13% field and we're

getting 21% Caleb Johnson who's 19%

owned by the field. Really, you're

right. Why not just go with the guys

that are $2,000 cheaper and $3,400

cheaper, respectively?

I don't I don't know. I just It's so

hard to want to go to Lloyd.

There's just too big of a gap in price.

There's not a big enough gap in fantasy

projections. There's not really that big

of like not a big enough gap in

ownership that it's like, "Okay, well,

at least I'm paying up to be like super

contrarian." I mean, Chris Brooks is 3%

more owned. Caleb Johnson didn't even

sneak over 20. So, yeah. Lloyd feels

like about as no-go of a no-go for me.

So, he's due for two TDs, obviously.

>> And I can tell you this, too. There

there there will be people like say

Lloyd ends up having a two touchdown

game or a big game, right? And there

there will people that come back and

say, "Hey, these idiots said not to to

take Lloyd today." Perfectly fine by me.

But I wanted I just want you to know he

is objectively a

>> a subpar play today on that price at

that price point. I there it's not an

opinion.

He's just not a good play. We're still

getting 10%. We're matching the field

fine, but Marshon Lloyd is not a good

play at that price point, especially

given given the workload split that

we've seen over the last two weeks,

particularly last week.

>> I think he's the least justifiable play

of anybody on the slate.

>> I actually think you're right. Well,

let's look at the sim ROI. What do you

say?

>> That is a very big negative number. Oh,

and another thing as I pull this up,

Chris Brooks ran 12 routes last week to

Marshon Lloyd seven. So Lloyd couldn't

even beat him out uh in in routes run in

the passing game, which makes it even

worse. Brooks has 22 routes on the

season. Marshon Lloyd has 14. So even

there, even there he looks worse. And

that I mean that's just that's bad. So

let's see. Simulated player ROI. Falcons

are number one. We we brought them down

a little bit, rightfully so. Bejian,

>> you're on the captain.

>> Oh, okay. Yeah, you're right. Bejon at

basically zero was crazy at that price.

All right.

>> Yeah.

>> Simulated player ROI. Still Falcons.

Charlie Warner. This doesn't mean you

jam them. It does just means that from

an ROI perspective, they were in some of

these big winning lineups.

Mark Redmond. Okay. See, the reason this

is interesting is because I don't know a

damn thing about Mark Redmond

whatsoever.

>> I It sounds like a relief pitcher.

>> He played 34 snaps last week. So, all

right, I get it. Jordan Love, let's see

the bottom.

Zachariah Branch, Brian Robinson, Austin

Hooper. Okay, so Marshon Lloyd minus 26%

simmed ROI.

>> Worst worst option of anybody getting

ownership

>> and also worst owner worst option of

anyone on Green Bay.

>> Yep.

Chris Brooks noticeably better. Caleb

Johnson noticeably better. So yeah, this

is this is just the way you have to you

don't have to play it this way, but this

is just the way the way it is. uh

leverage and then anything else you want

to look at before we go. Usually you

have some some good data points to to

pull up. But from an exposure

standpoint, our leverage,

most leveraged spot is pitts in the

flex, Josh. Then Falcons, even though we

capped them at 30, well, brought him

down to 30. Pennix at 8% positive

leverage. And then Chris Brooks at six

and London at five. Five.

>> From a positive leverage perspective, I

love those four names. So do I.

>> Wouldn't want to change anything there.

>> So do I. Uh

>> and I don't hate that either. Bejian at

50 captain.

>> No. No. And we're going to talk about

it, but craft captain tonight. Pits

captain looks good. Yeah. I actually

think both of those guys and Ree, you're

not saying anything that we're not

getting to. Granted, we're getting to a

ton of Bejon a captain. Literally 50%.

But we are getting to pits. I know 4%

isn't a ton, but it's something. We're

getting the 3% craft. When I look at

stuff like this and I see these low

numbers, but numbers that still exist,

it tells me, all right, if I were to run

some uniques and and drag it further

down our top sim ROI lineups, you

probably get a little bit more of those

guys. So, we're not getting a ton, but

they also look perfectly fine. Like if

you ended up with pits and crafted a

single entry, it's not actually a crazy

thing to do.

>> Not at all.

Those I mean outside of just knocking

back that uh the defense slightly, like

pretty much everything else that came

out of there was not too extreme for me.

Y

>> now that I like a lot more.

>> So all I did was run two uniques. I

didn't do anything other than that.

>> It it brought pits up from four to

eight%. They brought Craft up only one

additional lineup, but that's still 12%

of those guys. More Watson, a little bit

more London, a little bit more Matthew

Golden. So, um I I love these games,

man. I love these type of slates.

Let's see. Where's Falcons D there?

Okay, they came down a little bit. We

could probably bump their uh negative

boost at the flex up slightly now that

we have the uniques.

Yeah, you're right. I mean, you I could

probably just change that 5%.

>> You mean 20? Oh, you mean like move

>> bump it up 5% to 15.

>> You go to 10.

>> Yeah. 26.

>> Yeah.

It just shows you that a lot of those

really high SIM ROI lineups did have

Falcons defense.

>> Yep. Because look,

>> now we're back to 30

>> with zero boost. With zero ROI, negative

boost or zero negative or boost at all,

29%. So you actually don't need to do

anything there.

>> Yeah, just that's how you know change

that dial a little bit. Switch from

uniques to the negative ROI boost. You

kind of get in the same spot either

direction, but you know, more than one

way to skin a cat. We've learned

>> that is true. Hey, uh, last thing I want

to talk about.

No, Jaden Reed today. He was was taken

to the hospital.

>> It's probably you're you're looking at

Sky Moore, Bo Melton. They're by default

just guys that we probably get to a

little bit of by default, right? Like

Sky Moore, we have 10%. Uh, Bo Melton,

we have 6%. I'm gonna I'll put it to you

guys like this, and I don't want to

spend too much time on it. While I

totally understand wanting to take some

chances on those guys and we will have

lineups with them because they're going

to be active tonight and there's a good

chance that they do get some

opportunities. Bo Melton is 1,200 in the

flex. Skyore is 2400. They're cheap.

This is also one of those slates that

because Bejon is the only true big-time

payup option, you don't need to jam

these type of guys.

>> No. No. They don't strike me as guys you

should have much more than a tiny bit of

just seems overly risky for not a ton of

return. Yeah. But also if if you were

asking me like would you rather just go

cheap pass catchers for Green Bay or

cheap pass catchers for Atlanta? Um, I I

think I'd probably go with Green Bay

here because like are we getting any

Chris Blair?

>> I doubt it.

>> I mean, I I like the I think it's

interesting to go to those like this new

who's going to step up pass catcher for

the Packers instead of trying to figure

out their backfield, too.

>> That's That's another good point. Yeah.

And we're getting

>> We're flipping a three-sided coin

already trying to figure out who's going

to be that guy,

>> right? We're getting 6% Alamade Zakias.

We're getting

1% Blair. There's really not not much to

go with there. I would rather just take

the shot on Sky Moore or Bo Melton who's

had, you know, some decent opt

opportunities in the past when there

have been injuries. But clearly Matthew

Golden, Christian Watson are the two

best looking options alongside Tucker

Craft in that game and or in that side.

Even more so because you just mentioned

it, Green Bay doesn't have a run game

right now or or or and they can't run

block. And then on the other side,

Bejian, Pittz, and London are your clear

top three options. And The Sims at times

says, you know, maybe just go down to

Charlie Warner or something like that.

>> I'm excited to play this one tonight.

>> I I love these slates, man. I love these

slates. They're fun. Yeah,

>> I got all that FanDuel cash that I could

flip over into showdown.

>> Yep. Yep.

>> I didn't $500,000 last week.

>> Uh, are you playing Packers D with all

the Sky Moore lineups?

>> You could. Yeah, I'm sure it's I'll end

up, but I'm not getting a lot of Oh,

with all of them? No, you don't have to,

but it it certainly doesn't hurt if

you're looking for the correlation. Um,

but we'll be back for Live Before Lock.

Make sure to stick around for that one

leading up to tonight. We'll start it

off at uh 7:15 Eastern. Take you all the

way up to lock. I think it's Ben and me

tonight. So, we got you covered. Don't

forget, you want to get the Sims for

free, you can do it down below. You want

to take 10% off any subscription, do it

down below. Uh and last thing before we

get out of here, make sure that when you

play these contests, make sure you're

you're using the stochastic avatar

because if you do this,

>> all you have to do is finish. I say all

you have to do, but it's true because if

you finish top, you're trying to win

anyway, you finish top three in a field

of 5,000 or more, even if it's in like

the nickel contest or the dime package,

you're getting a free month of Sims max.

And then if you do it again in a

calendar year, you get another month

plus another week. And then the third

time in a calendar year, you're getting

all access. Also, we have the awesome

ring in a spinning display case to

commemorate your win. It's sick. the the

stochcastic hall of fame win ring for

any 20k plus win. Um, I don't know. To

me, it's a no-brainer because all you're

doing is throwing an avatar up there and

it's truly a win-win situation where

you're going to be doing this anyway.

>> It's an absolute no-brainer that again

costs you nothing at all. Just use the

avatar. Clearly, you see it at the top

of contests.

>> They're at the top of many contests. Um,

and you can just speak from the people

that have won showdowns recently. Uh,

yeah, quite ridiculous, dude. Quite

ridiculous in a lot of these. This

Collie Poston took down like a 100K in

in this showdown just the other day.

>> Not too shabby.

>> Our boy Low Stories took down chopped

with our boy Jake Hari in Flicker.

>> And then week one, where was the other?

Here's another showdown win. 36,000.

Another showdown win, 15,000 with the

Avatar. So, yeah, easy to do. And do

ties count? Yes, but you can't tie with

more than two people. Otherwise, we

wouldn't have a company anymore. So,

if you tie with more than two, it

doesn't count. If it's two people tying

in you, it does count. So, it's that

simple. And uh how do you upload the

avatar? Easy. Just download it to your

computer.

And you can probably do it to your

phone. You you could do it to your

phone, too. You probably just save it in

>> and then change it on DraftKings or

FanDuel. Anyway, appreciate you guys

hanging out. Fun show as always. We'll

be back later today.

>> Follow Josh at Josh Ingamman on Twitter.

Me at Lafy Lu Ghy. And you ever have any

questions about using the tools or

anything else,

>> just hit us up. Anything before we go?

>> I got nothing. I'm excited for this one.

This is a much more fun slate to me than

from a DFS perspective than what we had

in the first two weeks.

>> Could not agree more.
