00:00 Chiefs and the Bills in action on Monday Night Football. It's part of a Monday Night Football
00:03 doubleheader to close things out here in week six. We're breaking down the Chiefs and Bills
00:08 fantasy players for that DraftKings Showdown slate with SI gambling analyst Frank Taddeo and the editor of Arrowhead Report
00:16 Joshua Briscoe. Josh, did you know the Chiefs the best? Let's start with you. Who do you want in that coveted
00:21 captain's chair for this DraftKings Showdown? I mean, it's always hard to go anywhere other than Patrick Mahomes.
00:28 So if you want to go with Mahomes, I will not fault you there.
00:30 But I think the most interesting thing here from the Chiefs perspective, from the Chiefs offensive perspective,
00:34 is what this offense looks like without Sammy Watkins. Whenever he's been off the field over these last couple of years,
00:39 it's been really evident the offense has not been
00:42 firing on all cylinders. And then also seeing who steps up in his absence.
00:47 I know a lot of people are gonna think about McCole Hardman right now. I understand that. Those guys just play fundamentally different roles in
00:53 this offense though. I think Mahomes is super safe.
00:55 I think Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill are all as safe as you can get.
00:58 I start getting a little bit nervous though, if you try to take advantage of Watkins absence.
01:02 Frank, let's go over to you. Anyone from the Bills that you think should get in that captain's chair?
01:08 Or are you just going with all Chiefs?
01:09 No, I'm actually gonna go contrarian, Bill, here.
01:11 I'm gonna go with someone that a lot of people probably won't have. And that's why I want to go with this pick here.
01:16 I'm gonna be putting back up running back Zach Moss,
01:20 who's coming off the injured list and gonna be coming back and playing in tonight's game.
01:24 I'm gonna be putting him in the captain's chair. By doing that, I believe that we can afford both Mahomes,
01:30 Josh Allen,
01:31 Kelce, and Tyreek Hill.
01:33 So I'll get all the playmakers into my lineup by doing this because as we know, by putting him in the captain's chair, Bill,
01:38 he'll only be
01:40 2,600. And I believe that he'll be offering some sneaky great value because I believe the Bills are gonna want to get him more involved
01:46 and possibly spell Devon Singletary.
01:48 So look to possibly go contrarian in this spot so you can afford some of the more elite talent that we were just referencing
01:55 previously. Make sure you get Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen on your lineup. And by putting him in that chair, you can do just that.
