00:00 Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are the trendy players for Monday night's DFS
00:04 showdown on DraftKings, but who goes in that coveted captain's chair? That's what
00:09 we're breaking down with SI fantasy and gambling analyst Frank Tadeo and the
00:13 editor of Arrowhead Report Joshua Brisco. Frank let me start with you. I know
00:18 you're a big Mahomes fan, but can you afford to put him in the captain's chair?
00:22 He's 18,900 bucks. Yeah I think his price is just a little bit too high to put in
00:28 the captain's chair for tonight's game because I envision without Cam Newton
00:32 and this Patriot team being a little bit short-handed on the offensive side, they
00:36 could be looking to slow things down. But when they look to get those things
00:40 slowed down before that happens in the second half, look for him to be putting
00:44 up big numbers in the first half. And the guy I believe he will be targeting the
00:47 most is his star tight end Travis Kelsey. I'll be putting him in the captain's
00:51 chair. I think Kelsey offers extreme value tonight. He is a little still a
00:55 little bit pricey, but I think that he gets more fantasy points tonight than
00:59 Tyree Kill as well as some of the other options because I think they could
01:02 really cancel each other out. Kelsey is a steady play. He just is as
01:07 steady as they come and he is clearly Mahomes favorite target. Put Kelsey in
01:12 that captain's chair in DraftKings on Monday night. Kelsey will be $15,000
01:18 according to DraftKings salary for that coveted captain's seat. Josh let me go
01:21 over to you. We know Bill Belichick and his defense love to take away the
01:25 primary option from the opposing offense. Are there any sneaky options from the
01:30 chiefs side of the ball that we'll want in our lineups tonight? Yeah I don't want
01:33 to freak you out Frank, but I think that Bill Belichick absolutely understands
01:37 that relationship between Mahomes and Travis Kelsey. Now important that is, he
01:40 also has a ton of respect for Tyree Kill. What they've been doing in years past,
01:44 you put Stephon Gilmore on Sammy Watkins. He's had a quiet nice start to this
01:48 season, but I'd be a little worried about him as well. The guy from the
01:51 outside looking in here that might not get all that attention is McCole Hardman.
01:54 You're usually looking for one or two big plays for him, but I think he's the
01:58 guy that I would want to have in at a nice value, take a little bit of a shot
02:01 on. Also talk about Clyde Edwards-Hillaire. The Chiefs have been throwing the ball
02:05 out of the backfield to those running backs whenever they've played the
02:07 Patriots in years past, even without Clyde Edwards-Hillaire as the guy catching
02:11 those. So I think there's a really good chance that he has his biggest receiving
02:14 game of the year tonight against the Patriots. Edwards-Hillaire has 11 catches
02:18 in his last two games, five of them last Monday night against the Baltimore
02:22 Ravens. Joshua Frank, great stuff as always. Plenty more DFS and gambling
