Now welcome Happy your Friday from line bid bro say Francis practice stand all ladies and gentlemen yours. With that, we welcome you inside of Studio thirty four. This is the BFF C is Frank Stamford. I am Greg Susman, my final show of nineteen. What's happened Frank? Happy Friday to you? But how did you sleep last night? I slept really really well?

Was it because of that crushing Nick's win? It was that I hit my dollar hollow over there on the fandel inside the lines. There you go, Greg is hot, How fire go night. Let's keep you going here on Friday where we will do a little DFS preview weeks. Was a deep sleep last night, and I remember my dream. I was dreaming that this is true story that there were like two football games on. There was like this massive,

massive delay. So the football games whatever caused the delay, they didn't get going again until like five thirty in the morning. Two games or the Raiders are playing. I remember remember that vividly. And Judy is making us watch. I mean, you don't understand I have to wake up in an hour. I don't. I'm not having one hour of sleep. I had a function like that, and she forced us to have all the lights on to watch the games. And then he went up. I looked around.

It was like dark, and I was like, huh, that's crazy. There you go dream dreaming about the job, dreaming about fan of Syldier. I dream at my job every night. You do bad, is it? Yeah? Maybe you should dream about this part of the job. It's the fun part of the job. This is the fun part of the job. But I probably it's been going wrong, Frank, No, nothing goes wrong in the BFS. Come on, Greg, that's that's nice.

That's nice of you to say. I heard during the news update that Antonio Brown is working out for the New Orleans Saints. Obviously it's a little bit older news now at this point in the day, But how does that make you feel? All right? It's it's it's weird right like so, I think they worked at Antonio Brown.

They worked out Marie Harris and more than a couple of other guys than his names haven't come out yet, and I think it's clear what they're doing, right, They're just getting inventory, getting in the workouts and see what comes of it. If Antonio Brown size with the team, he will be playing the commission example list. He is not playing this year, but for next year. You know he's in shape. Were comparing with Michael Thomas. He won't cost that lunch, mhm. Get a little leg up on

the competitions that Johan Payne was doing. He knows that this week doesn't really matter. Use those uh workouts to update the emergency list. I think that's the biggest takeaway from all this, right, everyone was freaking out earlier Today they're trying to help Drew Brees get a ring this year. Can't play this year. He's gonna be on the Commissioner's exemple list. As you mentioned, if he were to sign

with the New Orleans Saints. We don't know if that's gonna happen, but imagining Antonio Brown and Michael Thomas on the field together with Alvin Kamara and Jared Cook and Litagius Murray and just that entire offense pretty crazy good offense. You know, if if Teddy Bridgewater has to take over next year, it's a pretty good way to to take over with weapons like that. So we'll see what comes of it. Look, we know Antonio Brown could still play. It's just can he not get himself in trouble long

enough to stay on the field. I mean, that's ultimately what he comes down to. I'm getting updates every single day. One of our producers downstairs, Alex Fasano. Shout out to Alex die hard Steelers fans, So you know he's got a finger off a die hard Steelers fan and he wants to lose this weekend. No, no, no, come on, I have I have a playoff a Steelers ticket, Greg,

So let's go Stealers. Let's go black and yellow. Oh, we also need the Houston Texans to beat the Tennessee Titans of course, the one thing, the one time that I need the Jets to lose, Greg was last week to the Steelers to help me cash that Steelers shop, and you know I got gased. I got gased. I mean you talked that all years. Yeah, yeah, It's exactly what I deserve, right, Adam Gates, he you know, he does just enough to not get a good draft pick,

but also not enough to make the playoffs. That's that's now known as the Adam Gates Greg that. You know, I wasn't annoying myself in my fantasy basketball league for some reason. I just don't want to spend money at all. You don't really have to spend money all that often, So I like ninety dollars left and I refused to put a dollar on players, and it has cost me.

It cost me a week last week because I refused to put a dollar on George Hill, and it's the georgiall was was somebody that spent the dollar, and I lost because of that. This week, I refused today to spend a dollar on Aaron Holiday. I lost out because of that. What are you saving it for? Greg? I don't know. I can't take it with you, man. I don't know. I know you've got a lot going on downstairs. You've got a lot going on downstairs a lot of the time. You gotta get those bits in. Man, I've

been cheap. I've just been zero dollars, and it's like, why don't you have been a dollar? I lost on it. If I lose this week as of it, shame on you. Come on, great, turn it around. Fantasy basketball season, Well, not yet. We gotta finish out. We gotta finish out fans basketball season. It is. It's definitely fantasy basketball season. Yeah, I don't want to say it's not. Yeah, but it's also still football season. You gotta wrap it up here. Great.

Can we get to people in the bf Vanduel contest too? By the way, I'm gonna play this week. You're gonna play. Oh it took you took your seventeen weeks here, that's not true. Weeks one week.

And that's promo code action for as ten percent discount dailor order dot Com where millionaires are made. BFFs, we're live twenty nineteen, Week seventeen. We're getting you ready. We're just talking about um heading

the brake, the Photolphia ego situation. So let's kind of jump in there. Eagles Giants a big game. Because the Eagles win, they're in the playoffs. The Eagles lose, Dallas has an opportunity to win and get in. Let's go. You have a Cowboys playoffs ticket as well. Cowboys Texans, Steelers, So Texans is good. Steelers probably not gonna happen. Cowboys shot last week. I'm living on a prayer here, man. Let's go Giants. Let's go Big Blue Greggy. You know

that they're gonna win that game too. You know they're gonna win that game. It's very very frustrating. And then watched the Cowboys find a way to lose to Washington, very frustrating as a Giants fan with the thought that they could win this game. I mean, you've already missed out at Chase Young and can't get much worse now, can Now you can miss out on that offensive lineman that you want. Andrew Thomas is that guy? Yeah? I remember a couple of weeks ago when I thought the Jests,

we're gonna get that guy. Now. Now we're sitting at pick ten and probably gonna beat the Bills this week too. We're not gonnay, why don't we drop down to pick twelve? Barkley season, Maybe let's go. We're go the Bills in the Eagles. What do you want to say? So the good news is for the Eagles, they're gonna play everybody because, like I said, they when did they get in? So they're not benching anybody they would normally start with. Spect

were mentioning to each other during the breaks. Jordan Howard's back the release j g I and they said, Jordan Howard is going to play this weekend. However, we really like what Miles Sanders is doing. We really like what Boston Scott is doing. They are the one in two options in this offense. Jordan Howard will be the third option. And it sounds like it's going to be behind glass break in case of emergency type of thing. If Miles Standers looks like crap, Boston Scott looks like crap. I

don't think at injury will go to Jordan Howard. If not, let's not fix what ain't broke. We're going to stick with that, which means Miles Sanders certainly someone worth playing on Sunday. Yeah, for sure. And I think you know, some people might get scared off of Miles Sanders because they see that Jordan Howard is coming back. Ian Rappaport, what are you doing, buddy? He tweeted out earlier. The

Eagles starting running back is Jordan Howard. Uh, maybe third string, third string at best, because Miles Sanders is now the starter for this team, and rightfully so what he's done the past couple of weeks. You mentioned Greg, uh, break glass in case of emergency, that's the situation here. Uh, there's no going to be no emergency. I think that Miles Sanders is going to be just fine. He's been using the past game he has at least five receptions and back to back games, Uh, the total yards have

been there for him. Massive back to back games, over a hundred and fifty total yards he had. He has three touchdowns over the last two games. So I think Miles Sanders on FanDuel over at seventy four hundred dollars uh is a fine play. I you know, I think he's trustworthy for cash games. I think, you know, he might even be he might even be lower owned because people might be worried about Jordan Howard. And because of that,

I'm perfectly fine with Miles Sanders this week. Like Miles Sanders this week, and like Greg like Greg Ward this week as well. For sure, here's in a great spot. I guess the New York Giants secondary that's terrible. So he uh is in a perfectly fine here on Sunday. So Greg Ward get in there as one of my favorite value plays. He's fifty. That's a that's if I've ever seen one. That's a great price. Zach Earth seems like a legitimate question mark and not on the doubtful

side of things. I don't think he's gonna play. I don't think so either. All the Dallas got her here on Sunday. Yeah again, Look, the Eagles are extremely banged up. This offense has rolled through the running backs and the tight ends and you know what, a few targets sprinkled into Greg Ward there, but they don't have anyone that can stretch the field. J j Artega Whiteside has not been the players that. Yeah, I don't know. I know it's like should we do it? But it just sounds

like we have a list. Yeah we don't. Yeah, I'm just I guess I'll say it the way that it's supposed to be said. But it does sound weird, for sure, definitely sounds weird. But before going off on a tangent, they don't really have anyone that they can stretch the field with. And it's been a lot of just over the middle of the field, throwing to the tight ends. We know that Carson Wentz likes to throw to his

tight ends. Dallas Gotter had a monster game last week, and I think he's in a good position again this week. The price has risen on fantal sixty four dollars and he's gonna be one of the more higher owned players assuming that Zacher is out. But twelve targets, nine catches, ninety one yards and a touchdown last week, I'm going back to the well there, I think it is worth it at that price. Ultimately, sometimes chalk makes sense, right, Sometimes you you need to do the chalk das well.

Him and Tyler Higbie, Right, those are gonna be the guys like Higbie going up against the Cardinals. Well, here's here's the Tyl Hibe. We'll get to that game in a moment. We don't know the Jared Dobson be under center. That's an issue. Well, give season, let's go bortals service, serve it up right to Tyler Higby. On the Giants side of things, Um, they're a full go. You got Danny Dives, you got Sterley Shepard, You've got Golden Tate.

Darius Slaine should be a dent for this game. They're saying, See Kwan Barclays looked really good his last two games. Giants office canna be demployed as you expected. I think Pat Shermer's gonna open up the playbook, you know, is this gonna be it? Well, let's not hold anything back. Greg, I'm sorry, man, but I love the Giants in the spot.

What does everybody Daniel Jones with the game that he just had it through five touchdowns, he is, you know, higher price this week, seventy five hundred dollars on Fandel, But the Eagles secondary has been taken advantage of all season long. Ronald Darby has been placed on I R as well. And if you like Daniel Jos, you have to like some of their past catchers and they're extremely cheap.

Sterling Shephard sixty two hundred dollars this week. Golden Tate fifty nine hundred dollars lead this team with eleven targets last week. Even Caden Smith, Greg, if you want to pay down at tight end so you can get those stud wide receivers, start running backs in there, he had eight targets last Week's only fifty three hundred dollars. You know that they're gonna throw the ball in this matchup against the Eagles. Uh, it's tougher to run against the

against this Eagles defense. So you know, if I'm paying up at running back, I don't know that se Kwon Barkley is one of those guys that I would go towards this week. I'm more so like the passing game of the Giants. I like Daniel Jones at its price, as well as the wide receivers and Cayden Smith. If you want to pay down to tight end. Let me move on to Dallas Cowboys and the Washington football team. They play at four clock. If the Eagles win, well

great it's over. And if it's over, I don't think the Cowboys are play Dak Prescott, which is a major issue for those that want to start a Michael galup. I have no idea the status with Mari Cooper, saying with Jason Witney soon as he could be out there, maybe Tony Pollard because of play, there is a lot of question marks. The problem is both of these games

are at four thirty four year one o'clock. Okay, I mean that your logic would have been correct that if they played at one o'clock and at the time, you know, look if the if the Eagles end up winning that game, then you know, maybe Dak starts and like sits out after the quarter, which means which just he's playing four thirty every right, which is fantastic, which is fantastic news if you're starting the Cowboys. So do you have become the starting Dak Prescott this weekend? Yeah? Look, it's a

must win game. The Washington secondary is extremely beat up. I think Dak Prescott. Look, if you're playing a season long at this point, you're gonna use him. I don't know that I'm going to use Dak Prescott in DFS, just because I think that there's a few other cheaper quarterbacks that are also in good positions. Here. Let's see how much Dak Prescott is. He's eight thousand dollars. It's just a big price tag. Good matchup. Washington secondary is

beat up, it's fair, he has big upside. I think it's more of a g P P play for me when it comes to Dak Prescott. But I do like the wide receivers for the Cowboys here. Michael Gallup has sixty five hundred dollars, Amari Cooper is seventy. Give me the savings. On Michael Gallup, He's one of the better value wide receivers that I like. And then if you want to pay up for running back obviously, we'll talk about Christian McCaffrey a little bit later on. I like

Aaron Jones a lot as well. But Zeke at eight seven hundred, Greg we spoke about him earlier in the week. He hasn't he hasn't one people leagues, but he hasn't lost people leagues. He's been fine. He's been what you would expect. He's a top five running back. And over the past month of the season, Washington's allowing the third most Fantasy points to running back. So must win game for the Cowboys. I think Ezekiel Elliott's in play as well.

I I like Zeke and Gallup probably the most of anybody on the Cowboys side from a DFS perspect On the other side of days of the Washington Football Offense series, case team is gonna start at quarterback for this team? Adrian Peterson? Uh, he's very very good. All those carries. Uh? Can you start a p this week? And termc Clarina's

already be ruled out, so I can imagine everybody else there. Yeah, so the Terry McLarin thinks sucks because obviously he's played so much better with this kid is keen Um all season long. So that's, uh, that's an unfortunate situation. We're gonna get a lot of Adrian Peterson in this game, obviously here Greg, and we know that as long as he's been the guy with Darius guys out, he does see massive workloads over on FANDO. I just don't think

the upside is massive. They're sick, they're eleven point underdogs, so likely playing from behind, they're gonna feed Adrian Peterson probably gets around fifteen touches in this game. I would look in a different direction. I don't think that there's anything that I want to get involved with on the Washington side of things here in this game must win for the Dallas Cowboys. That obviously makes sense. Let me go, UM.

I want to continue to talking about the games that have meaning, right, Like, there's a lot of games you mentioned um mention of the Los Angeles Rams and the Arizona Cardinals a little while and goes I'll jump into that very quickly before we get the break for the Rams of the Cardinals. The Rams, Jean may Face said, I'm gonna be cautious. I don't expect a lot of Todd Gurley. I'm sure Tyler Higbee will do his thing. Questions who will be throwing him the ball? Do you care?

I don't care. Because he's going up against the Arizona Cardinals. We've been using tight ends against his defense all uh and the last time he faced him, he went seven for one oh seven and one. Four straight games over a hundred yards, three straight games with double digit targets. I'm perfectly fine using Tyler Higbee. Let's stay in the NFC Sunday Night Football, the game of the day, break it down. Next NFL season is now upon us, and you can be going the eighth person away one million

dollars in a Fandela Draft Kings tournament. My setting their lineups using the Daily Order dot Com DFS a lot of optimizer. If you were playing Dailey Fantasy Sports and not using Daily Order dot Com, you're doing it wrong. Sign him now for the NFL Access with a faster optimizer, smarter DFS projections, and better results into promo code action for as ten percent discount. Is that's promo code action for as ten percent discount. Taylor dot Com where millionaires

are made. Boom boomo No, let me say well, let's say boom boom boom. No, We're about to say, well, let's say boom boomoom. No. Let me say well, let's say boom boom No, We're about to say this is like a different Verry kind of like it. But Greggy's in the shoulders going here it is. Let's keep playing it. Think it's gonna date at some point and it's good. We're back on the VFS. Try to play with play

around in there. It was fun the remix. There are we talking about the Rams the Cardinals a moment ago Um we donticetan ask Kyler Murray quite yet? What hey Drake Drake and Jake Kenny Drake? Is that fair to say? I mean, if you want, we could just throw on the promo Kenyan five times four times? Right, Hey Drake, this week's Drake? Well yeah, the Rams have struggled to running backs recently as well. We saw Rahemost with a touchdown last week. We saw the week before that, Ezekiel Elliott.

And Tony Pollard combined for over two d forty rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. So yeah, I think Kenyan Drake is in play as well here. UM seventy three over on Fandel, just massive, massive end of the year performances here from Kenyan Drake. We've been talking about him a lot the past couple of weeks. Where is he gonna end up in the off season doesn't matter for right now Week seventeen, still with the Arizona Cardinals in a solid spot here, it's rams defense. What are what

are they playing for? At this point? There's not really much motivation here. They know that they're not going to make the playoffs, and I think Kenyan Drake has a little bit more something to prove here Greg, to try and earn himself a nice little contract here in the off season. So yeah, Kenyan Drake definitely employ at I'll throw this your way, Greg, Kenyan Drake at seventy or Miles Sanders at seventy four hundred. Oh, that's a good one, I know. I think we Kenyan Drake. Yeah, you're you're

the promo guy. You are the advocate of Kenyan Drake, always have been to be fair now everybody just knows it. Yeah, I mentioned you're driving the bandwage that started us in the NFC West. Let me go to the NFC West tonight or something night. Rather, the Seahawks and the four Niners a flex game. Everything is on the line, the number one seed a bye versus playing in either Philadelphia or Dallas a week later. What are you liking this game? I am on the forty Niners as well. They still

do have some motivation here. They have to win this game in order to lock up the number one seed. And I know a lot of the sharp betters, the sharp betters, everyone's all over the San Francisco forty Niners this week, and it's kind of hard not to be. I understand that this game is in Seattle, Russell Wilson, uh coming off a loss. They play well at home. I understand everything there. But their defense hasn't been great

all year. The offense the past month or you know, four to six weeks has not looked the same as it was earlier on the season. We haven't seen those big blowoff games out of Russell Wilson. The running backs are all hurt. Now, Yes, it's fun to talk about Marshall Lynch being back with this team, Beast Mode signs

with the Seattle Seahawks. I think we still see a lot of Travis Homer here in this game, Greg, So if you need a cheap play, if you play on one of the showdown slates, I think Travis Homer makes some sense. He's gonna catch some passes in this spot. But ultimately, the forty Niners are the better team, the better defense. They've you know, they've just been a force all season long. I like forty Niners in this spot, so I think they locked down the number one seed.

I like the Seahawks in this spot. Actually, Sunday night, it's at home. It's still a tough spot to play in, and I think Marshalls being back will certainly have the emotion going at Century Link Field. We've seen both of these teams recently be up and down. We'll see if the Seahawks and run the ball. We'll see if the Niners events could step up as they haven't been able to do without Richard Sherman in the line of I think it's a really really tough game to figure out.

What that being said, I don't really know, right, do you best perspective. I obviously were talking about something night slate, single game slate, but I don't know who I would want to play, you know what I mean? Like, I think the guy that I would lean on both running backs. I think Homer on the on the Seattle side, and then most are on the other side. I think both of those guys make a lot of say, let me trying to find people that I know they're gonna have

the ball. Yeah, I'm not really That's It's like hard who do you trust in the Seattle Seahawks passing game right now? Again, Russell Wilson hasn't had those bleak, those big blow up performances, and Dwayne Brown has heard for the Seahawks, and you know the pass rush is gonna get after him, and the Forts are gonna be hot in this game. Greg they had they played a wonderful game. The last time these two teams met, the game went

into overtime. We know the last second field goal win for the Seattle Seahawks here, But I think the forty Niners I want to get some revenge in the spot. I think they want to bounce back. They want to lock down the number one seed. I guess there's a chance that if Green Bay and New Orleans somehow both lose then Seattle, then san Fran is not really playing for anything on Sunday Night Football. But I don't really envision those things happening earlier on in the day, so

I'm gonna stick with san Fran. I like both running backs in the spot. If you're playing the showdown slate, obviously George Kittle is going to be involved. I like Deebo Samuel as well, So I guess that means I like Jimmy Garoppolo. So yeah, I'm I'm all aboard san Fran in the spot here on Sunday Night Football, the stick in the NFC franc where we're the highest totals on the board in dead Atlanta and Tampa Bay. And

Tampa Bay's defense was a knowingly good. It's stopping DeAndre Hopkins like they have been the past couple of weeks. Will they do that to Julio Jones? Probably not the Alfins Hopkins. They did do it against Hopkins, but the targets share for Julio the past couple of weeks has been so massive. Since Calvin Ridley has gone down, he has been an absolute beast, and look, if you want to pay up at wide receiver, it's hard to argue against Julio Jones at this point. You gotta I mean,

you gotta pay a big time. It's over on Fandel Davante Adams. I like a lot as well at eight four hundred. I have a few other mid tier wide receivers and values that will get to throughout the course of the show. But Julio Jones just the targets, the opportunity of the volume. He is questionable, like he always is. But Greg, over the past two weeks he has thirty five targets. That is just Insaneay target right up, over, Well, you look two games ago against it for any had

a hundred thirty four yards and two touchdowns. Then we play in touchdown leagues, right yeah, am I right? Yeah, you are right, Greg. That was the first time he scored a touchdown on since Week three, and of course he went back to being Julio Jones and did not

score a touchdown last week. But ten for one, six six, I think you'll take that, and I think he's in a good position once again this week, although the Bucks defense has played better, So just keep that in your mind, I still don't mind paying up for Julio Jones here in this fot Creig, I honestly don't. How do you feel about them bringing back, bringing back all the uh the coaching staff to meet you back he Morris, promoting coordinator dan Quinn will be back, and dan Quinn of

course back his head coach. Listen, this dude, he's got nine lives. Probably should have been fired during the bye week, and yet he made changes. He took himself out of the defensive coordinator role, he moved where he Morris back to the other side of the football, and they're playing hard. Like when you're thinking of firing a coach, isn't the

mark of as you love? You lost the team. And there's been a lot of people that have come out, both on the team off the team that have said, hey, we want dan Quinn to be here, We're gonna play Harvard d and we can keep him. They have, and he stays he kind of earned it, didn't He Well, I mean it took a lot to get to that point. You're right, I mean he made adjustments and that's all

you could ask for as a coach. Right. They started playing harder after the buy, as you mentioned, But what about everything that happened before that, right, Like you can argue, you know, even a month before their by like the team looked like they had given up. And yes, they deal with injuries. The offensive line hasn't been good. Uh, the defense suffered a lot of injuries earlier on in the season as well. So there was a lot for

this Atlanta Falcons team to overcome. But it just seems like ever since that collapsed in the Super Bowl Greg, they've just been going downhill ever since. So I think after this season it might have made some sense to make some changes, but stability and I get Look, you want the continuity, you want to stick with what you know.

That's fine, But at some point, you know, if you're not winning games, if you're not making it back to the playoffs, if you're not getting back to that that's super Bowl level, then I think you've gotta make some changes. But ultimately, you know, those guys are gonna be back. So we'll see. We'll see what happens here in the off season for the Atlanta Falcons. We certainly will have based on the interesting what they do in the off season,

specifically at the quarterback position. Will Jamis wis to me back, and you and I disagree on this topic. You say he will, I say he will not. How much is phar report earlier that he wants to get paid thirty million dollars? It everywhere? Do not tell certain that common? Is uh? And it was Field to quote tweeted and said one million dollars for every interception, which is I guess technically true, it's not false. Um, would you how

much this week Brashad Perriman over on fandel Is? Oh gosh, you will not be playing him because he's seventy dollars. You will not be paying him. You will not be playing him. Yeah, that is That is a big price tag for Brushode Perriman. The targets were there for him, and yes, the volume is always there for Tampa Bay. But both of these defensive playing well right now. Tamma Bay in Atlanta the defenses have been being playing better as of late. So I do not want to spend

up the seventy six hundred dollars for Brashad Perriman. I do not want to spend up the eighty one hundred dollars it's gonna take you to get Jamis Winston as well. I'd rather go down two hundred dollars for Ryan Tannehill. Everyone seems to be on Tom Brady this week. He is at seventy six dollars, so there are a few other quarterbacks who can go towards. I am pretty much staying away from the Bucks situation. How about Ronald Jones?

Any interests there, Greg, Ronald Jones? Yeah, probably not gonna do that either. Falcons have been good against running backs this year as well. UM let me Ronaldones look good last week? Man. I mean, I don't know how many times it's getting We're gonna fall for him and O. J. Howard, you know, flip flopping one week, it's him, when wee gets Peyton Barbera. I don't know what more Bruce Arians needs to see. Greg, You ran well a forty nine yard run that he had against Houston last week. You

look really good on that play. I mean, showed shifting, nous, acceleration, things that you want out of a starting caliber running back in the NFL. For some reason, Bruce Arians just will not completely buy in on Ronald Jones. Very frustrating Minnesota and Chicago this week. Minnesota treating like a bye week. We don't expend to see Kirk Cousins. We're not gonna

see Dalvin Cook. Alexander Madison's questionable. I don't see you reason to play him either if the dream is a by week, because then they know that the number six seed, well, a lot of Shawn Mannion and a lot of players I don't want to start on Minnesota. Yeah, absolutely against the Bears defense. While the Bears defense has been let down, they've still been strong against wide receivers and they're having allowed a ton of production to running backs recently as

well here. So um yeah, I don't want to get involved with any of the backups here for the Minnesota Vikings. Dalvin Cook already been ruled out. Mike Boone, that was fun last week. We're not gonna go back to the Mike Boon Well, probably see some B. C. Johnson here somehow mire at Doulah blast from the past. I'm not fooling around with any of these Minnesota Vikings here. We'll take a break when we come back. Let's go to the big game in the a f C Titans and Texans.

The Steelers are losing the Baltimore don't worry about it. What No, sorry, don't say that. Sorry, come on, Greg, They're gonna lose to r G three, and yes, let's go Steelers. You know what's crazy? Imagine I said this here in the middle of the season, Greg, I think whoever ends up facing the Tennessee Titans in the playoffs would not want to see that team right now. So that's crazy to say, Well, the Titans would be the

sixth seed, they would travel to Kansas City. All right, I'll take it back, No, but I actually think that I think it would be a more competitive game than like initially you would think, right, like Pittsburgh and Tennessee. You're siding, yeah for sure, Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean Pittsburgh is a better defense than Tennessee, for sure. But like Duck Hodges, terrible. Tannehill second half of the season is playing so well. Derrick Henry, the way that

he runs, that running style. Just your defense taking a beating over and over a J Brown breakout rookie wide receiver. This is a great offense right now. I don't think that a team in the playoffs would really want to see the Tennessee Titans. But ultimately, the Chiefs are playing really good ball right now. Getting back to this game, Greg, I think that there is a chance that Houston rest some of their players throughout the course of this game and they don't play a full game. What's say you?

I mean, that's why Week seventeen is so tough, Like you're trying to figure out motivation, and you know, do teams actually need to play their starters? And it's a divisional matchup, and maybe the Texans want to stick it to the Titans and make sure that they don't get in the playoffs. But I still think that there's a chance that they don't play a full compliment of snaps, I agree, I don't. I know Bill Ryan has said he's playing everybody, but why what do you have to game?

Already locked up the division, they can't really move anywhere from anywhere. Shawn Watson playing They're going to be the four season six minutes in this game is a monstrous mistake. Monstrous, Yeah, and I don't I think they should do that. Yeah, So that's why it's risky. I know Lance Davison and Chad was asking he plays in a week seventeen league if he should play DeAndre Hopkins, and DeAndre Hopkins is

DeAndre Hopkins, and you know he'll play enough too. If they score points, he's likely going to be involved in the scoring. And the way to attack Tennessee is through the air and with their secondary. Doory Jackson has already been ruled out in this game. So if you're playing the season the league, continue to use DeAndre Hopkins, I would not use DeAndre Hopkins in DFS. However, on the other side, I mentioned Ryan Tannehill. I think that he

is in play. I think A J. Brown is also on play here Greg FanDuel he was shadowed by Marshawn Lattimore last week, only had two targets. He sucked out with that forty nine yard rushing touchdown. I think in a must win game for Tennessee, both Tannehill and A J. Brown bounced back in the spot here. Last time he faced them, he went over a hundred yards and any touchdown against the Houston Texans, yeah, absolutely, Ryan Tannehill in

a really good spot. Again, I want players that hasn't gonna play for Ryan Tannehill, A J. Brown, Corey Davis even who's gonna be play He's back to this concussion. He's in a good spot. Derrick Henry healthier, He's in a good spot. Like you said, I really like the Tennessee Titans in this spot. I think they win and they get in. Like I mentioned, Yeah, I think it's fair. You're probably right. It's just sad because I want the Steelers to get in. My last hope might be the

Dallas Cowboys. And usually whenever you start or end a sentence with that, you get let down. Let's chat about the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team that you are rooting for. Steeler against the Ravens. It's gonna be RG three starting for Baltimore. Lamar Jackson, he isn't gonna play. Mark Ingram isn't gonna play a little. There is expectation that he'll be back for the playoffs. Uh, the Ravens are going to bench anybody that's injury. Mark Andrews will not see

the field in this game. Can RG three upset the Steelers with a whole bunch of backups. I guess that there is a chance because they're still a really well coached team in the Baltimore Ravens. And you know the that offense, that Gregor Roman offense, Uh, it is one that is tailored around the skill sets of r G three. While you know he's not the athlete that he wants was and certainly not the athlete that Lamar Jackson is,

he can make plays with his legs. So at seven thousand dollars, you know, if I'm making multiple lineups, you know I'm I'm gonna sprinkle a little bit of r G three in there at that price because I still think, uh, he can provide some value with his rushing production. Greg do you want to get involved with any of the running backs here? Because I think that there is a chance and you won't know, obviously until the game starts.

That the Ravens can not give a full workload to Gus Edwards here either, because there's still a chance mark Ingram won't be healthy for the first game in the playoffs, and if that's the case, I think that they want Gus Edwards to which leaves Justice Hill And it's just such a tough situation to figure out. I think that I would just stay away from it completely. What say you? I like both of them? I think I like Gus

Edwards and I like Justice Hill. I think r G three at this point in his career just not nearly as athletic as he wants was, as you said, and I think that Baltimore wants to win this game and their offense is going to change. They're gonna run the football. I think we saw Justice He'll be effective. Last people marketing went down. Obviously, we know what guest bus can do here as well. I kind of like both of them,

how much you aren't they? The problem is Gus Edwards is sixty six hundred dollars, and I'll read you off a few other values that I like, DeAndre Wahston sixty three hundred, Tony Michelle sixty five hundred, Damian Williams sixty four hundred. I would favor all of those running backs over Gus Edwards at the stably, probably Justice Hill fifty nine.

That make for a sneaky flex is around there. Um. I'll sort by salary here over on FanDuel right around Justice Hill, just ahead of the dollar price that you have Kareem at sixty one, Devin Singletary at sixty two. You don't know how much he's gonna play. Ronald Jones at sixty two. Just behind Justice Hill, you have Ty Johnson, remember that, Greg Sean McCoy, Naheim Hines, Alexander Madison, David Johnson.

So all crap, Benny Snell. Maybe Connors already be ruled out with this personal So Benny Snell, Justice Hill at fifty nine hundred, he has each other against each other. I think I gotta go, Benny Snell, save some money. That sweet Jalen Samuel's led this backfield with six of their snaps. I think I would leave with Justice him. I think there's a chance that Gus Edwards doesn't see the full workload here because again they need him healthy

for the playoffs. Uh, in case mark Ingram is not good to go, I think they lean on Justice Hill here. He gets double digit touches at fifty dollars. All right, Uh, you mentioned the Buffalo bills. Let's get into them here for a moment. It's Buffalo taken on the j t S, the New York Jets. Baby Buffalo's going to be careful with everybody they've said. That includes Josh Allen's Matt Barkley time, That includes Devin Singletary, I'm sure, and anybody else important

on that team. Yeah, there is what get the get the Adam Gays Gator Gatorade bath ready for after this one. I think the Jets win this game. The Buffalo Bills obviously do not care much about it. Divisional matchup again, but they're already locked into their playoff spot, and Josh Allen might play a little bit in this game. I would probably say the first quarter. I think Josh Allen plays the first quarter, and you know it's because of that.

You can't play him, you can't play Matt Barkley. You don't know how much either one of those players are gonna play. And that goes for the rest of the offense as well, between Devin Singletary and John Brown and Cole Beasley. I I can't get involved with the Bill's offense from a DFS perspective at all in this game here, Greg, I think Levian Bell is interesting. I've mentioned enough running backs about the course of the show today around his price tag. He's sevents. I like Miles Sanders more, I

like Kenyan Drake Moore. The way to attack the Bills is on the ground, and maybe they rest some of their defensive starters as well. But Levion Bell hasn't been great all seasons, so I really don't want to do the Levion Bell thing. I don't really want to start anyone in this game. Maybe, if anything, Greg, I'll look at the Jets defense because they'll be going up against a lot of the Bills backups. Why not. I think that probably makes the most let's do it. I'm not

I'm not using any skill position players here. Say in the ANFC East New England Patriots have a chance to lock up the by with a victory over Miami. Ribits Pagrick flaying for another year on this deal, five and a half million dollar contract. He could be back next year, uh to bridge the gap for two and we talked about that last week. Um Sony Michelle has been a popular name that's been thrown out at US here this week.

He's got a lot of carries as of late. Juwan Edelman I think is not someone I want to play this week. I think it would be very cautious with him. I don't even know if they play him everybody else always a crapshoot. I like Rox Brokehead, and I do

like Sony Michelle. Yeah, I agree with you. You know, Sony Michelle, you mentioned the workload that he's seen back to back games with a big snapshare and a lot of carries here forty carries total over his last two games, and the last time that he faced the Miami Dolphins, Greg, he went twenty one rushes for eighty three yards and a touchdown. That's about a Sony Michelle of a line as you can get, and I think we might get

something similar to this week. So at the mid tier of running back pricing on Fandel, I do think Sony Michelle is a viable option this week. A lot of people are on Tom Brady Greg because they think, you know, if he throws multiple touchdowns in the first corner that he can overtake Drew Brees for the all time record and TV passes. So people are looking at you know,

what is the motivation in Week seventeen. You're trying to follow an edge here and I'll take a little bit behind the paywall here at Dailey Rhodo, Tom Brady is their highest value quarterback at seventies six hundred dollars this week over on Vanduel so Brady, I like Sony Michelle, Um, I don't like Edelman. I'm with you there, Greg, But if you want to get some exposures to that past game, Mohammed san New is only fifty three dollars. He's super cheap.

I don't want Hammed swan Al. Yeah, that's fine. It's just the Miami Dolphins have been torched by wide receivers all season long. So if you like Tom Brady, you gotta like someone that he's starting the ball to. Maybe that person is James White Reshburg, had I mentioned Jakobe Myers. I don't know. I don't know. Let me pull up. I just want to pull up the snap counts last week from the New England Patriots wide receivers just so we can see who was on the field the most

for them, and it was Mohammed Sanu. He played nineties six percent of the snaps. So I know you're out of Mohammed Sanu. If I'm pairing Tom Brady with a receiver this week, it would be Mohammed Sanu for me, played of the snaps last week over on fandal In week seventeen men, Drew Brees, Drew Brees and the Saints Carolina. Right, that's who they have this week. They are going up against Will Greer, Carolina Panthers, West Virginia ZWN West Virginia.

The Saints. When they have a chance to winder, what's you see? The Packers wind up losing to the lines. I don't expect that to happen. We'll talk about that in a moment. But the Saints, Michael Thomas already has the record. They played it for me. They got this one healthy, especially they're playing next week. Yeah, I don't know that I really want to get involved with any of the Saints players. You do have to worry about that.

There's a chance that they could still play for the number two seed here, so they do have some motivation. It's obviously a great matchup for Alvin Kamara, as it has been all season against Carolina Panthers. We've been streaming running backs all year. He has seventy on vandel got back in the end zone twice last week. That was a long time coming for Alvin Kamara owners. But at his price tag of seventy dollars, I do think that he is in play and then on the other side, Greg,

you want to talk about motivation. The Carolina Panthers have already come out and said that they want to break records with Christian McCaffrey this week. It's tough to do. He's eleven thousand, one hundred dollars over on Fandel, But we have given you a lot of value plays already today, So I think if you want to pay up for him, you're gonna be able to do it with all the

value that is available. In Week seventeen. Uh, he needs thirty two point eight full PPR points to break the record for most Fantasy points ever in a season, Gregg breaking LaDainian Tomlinson's record. He needs sixty seven yards sixty seven receiving yards to go one thousand rushing and one thousand receiving. He would be the third player ever to do that. He needs two hundred and sixteen scrimmage yards to break T. J. Two K's scrimmage yardage record as well.

I think they just turn and give the ball of the Christian McCaffrey like thirty times in this game, and he goes off once again. Yeah, it seems to be this case. Crit McCaffrey has an opportunity. As you said, the number one a whole time fantasy scorer. That's pretty damn impressive. It's crazy, It's absolutely nuts. Okay, on the other side of our final break, I do you want to get into Green Bay and Detroit. I want to make sure we hit that game. Some implication there. Uh,

Kansas City has a chance at the number two. So we talked about New England. Uh, they face off um against the Chargers here and then Oakley has an outside shot of getting into the playoffs. They can get by they get buy the Broncos. But I like the Broncos in this game. They're still play Rack Fagio too. Yeah, they are. The Broncos have played well all year long, well not well, they played hard. They played hard for

Vic Fangio all year long. They've been on the wrong side of some really bad breaks at the end of games. So I think heading into next year it might have a little something with Drew Lock. So I'm with you. I think the Broncos come out and play hard against

the Raiders. We'll talk about all these games that are wrapping up with three Questions and three Mets coming over next NFL season is now upon us and you can become the eighth person away one million dollars in a Fandula Draft Kings tournament by setting their lineups using the Daily Order dot Com DFS line of optimizer. If you're playing Daily Fantasy Sports and not using Daily Order dot Com,

you're doing it wrong. Sign it now for the NFL Access with a faster optimizer, smarter DFS projections, and better results. Enter Promo Code Action first ten percent discount because that's Promo Code Action, first ten percent discount. Taylor Order dot Com, where millionaires are made. Three questions in three minutes. To wrap it up, I confused the Eagles in the Cowboys times because it was Kansas Cy and New England that play at different times. New England plays at one o'clock.

Kansasini plays at four o'clock against the Chargers of New England. Wins, KANSASINI has nothing to play for. Frank, question number one is how could that affect who they play here against the Chargers. Yeah, I mean it's going to definitely change things. You know, if if New England comes out and wins earlier, which is expected, we probably don't see a lot of the starters from the Kansas City Chiefs, which kind of throws a wrench because I liked Damian Williams as a

good value play here. He was solid last week. He was back in the not workhorse role but as the starter and saw a decent amount of work. So U just something to monitor, you know, make sure you have that late swap available if you do try and use any of those Chiefs players, because if New England wins, I don't know that we are going to see them play. I feel. Comment of stats question number two, Aaron Jones is under a thousand yards this season, but sixteen touchdowns

does he reach? What does he reach first? Eighteen touchdowns or thousand yards? I think that he will reach the one thousand yards first UH. And I think that he is playing with the motivation to try and set the team record for most touchdowns in a season by UH by a player on the Green Bay Packers, because a Mad Green has the record with twenty total touchdowns. Right now, Aaron Jones has nineteen total touchdowns. He needs to to set the record, and Jamal Williams has already been ruled out.

So I do have a lot of interest in Aaron Jones in the spot he has eight thousand dollars over on Fandel. All right, there you go question number three or final question of the day, and the Raiders get in. The Raiders can statistically get in here, Greg, will they get in? No, No, it is not going to happen. They're going to play against the Broncos in Denver, the Visional matchup here. I don't even know that they win this game. Then they also need the Titans to lose.

They need the Steelers to lose. There's a chance, and I believe they need the Colts to lose the Jaguars. Are the Colts to beat the Jaguars? I think the only other I think the only two things that they need they need three. I don't know that something that Colts Jaguar game. And I don't even know if they beat the Broncos. So I don't think. But I do like DeAndre Washington as a value play this week at six understand. So that is gonna do it for us today. That's gonna do it for me this year. I am

off Monday Tuesday, Frank is off Thursday. Two of us will be reunited next Friday and on the Friday Show, as we get you ready for the NFL wild Card playoffs. FRANKI rep up of the year with some year review stuff Monday Tuesday. I would assume, all right, and uh it'll be fun. So thank you everybody that's watched, let's listen, that's supported us over the last year. Frank Staflo, Grex Susman. We'll do it again next year.
