00:00Let's dive into the DFS portion of this show here,
00:05because those that are playing and playing smart
00:08or smartly are finding a way to cash there as well.
00:11Let's talk about some of the top tier names.
00:13We'll talk about the prices, Joe,
00:14and then we'll try to get an idea
00:16of the game scripts overall.
00:17At the running back position,
00:19it starts at Saquon Barkley at 8,700.
00:22Then it pivots to Alvin Kamara at 8,400.
00:25So a $300 difference there, and Alvin Kamara has been hot.
00:28You can see that reflected in his anytime touchdown props
00:31on certain books, now moving deep into the minus money.
00:34And then there's our buddy Jordan Mason at 8,300.
00:38We'll stop right there and let you analyze.
00:40Barkley, Kamara, and Mason.
00:43Barkley is an interesting, expensive oppo play today,
00:47because he's going against the New Orleans Saints defense.
00:50Now, they're the second-ranked rush defense,
00:52and you might kind of go, oh, wow, that's impressive,
00:54except for the fact that they faced the Carolina Panthers,
00:57who can't get any offense going whatsoever.
00:59And then they faced Ezekiel Elliott last week.
01:01So is it really that impressive?
01:03I'm not sure.
01:04So maybe going against the grain here
01:06is an interesting way to go.
01:07Barkley coming off a disappointing end
01:08to that Monday night game.
01:10I think there's opportunity here with this Eagles team
01:12to get back on track without A.J. Brown
01:14continuing to push Saquon Barkley heavily.
01:17Now, I know it's a short week for them
01:19coming off that Monday night game, too,
01:20but all the reason more why he is a really interesting,
01:23I think, low-rostered play,
01:26who has far more upside than people realize
01:27against the Saints today.
01:28So just keep that in your back pocket,
01:30a game that I think the Saints can win,
01:32but at the same time, a game that I think Barkley's
01:34going to work much better than maybe people realize.
01:36Alvin Kamara certainly worked out last week.
01:39Ooh-wee.
01:40We were on Alvin Kamara last week, and guess what?
01:43He did not disappoint.
01:45Now, the question is, is that all the Alvin Kamara
01:47touchdowns we get for the next month and a half?
01:48Sometimes he likes to score them in clusters.
01:51We've seen that before.
01:52Hopefully that's not the case.
01:53It's the next three guys on this list, though,
01:55I think that are most appealing
01:56in terms of return on investment.
01:57Jordan Mason, we just talked about him
01:59in the booms segment of the show.
02:02The 49ers are limited this week.
02:04No Deebo, no Kittle, no CMC, right?
02:07You got to run the football.
02:08He's got 20 or more touches.
02:10You know the volume's going to be there.
02:11Mason's a lock for me.
02:13If you're the Colts,
02:14you got to get back to running the football.
02:15I think you got away from it last week.
02:17Not enough Jonathan Taylor.
02:18I think it costs you the game.
02:19You come back home.
02:21You give the ball to Jonathan Taylor this week.
02:23You right the ship,
02:24and I think you establish the run,
02:25and it takes a little pressure off Richardson.
02:26I think that's a good practice here for Shane Steichen.
02:28And then last is Devon HM,
02:30who everybody's writing off this Dolphins team.
02:32I expect the Dolphins to cover.
02:36I expect the Dolphins to be in this game.
02:38I would not be shocked if the Dolphins win.
02:40Seattle's played very well,
02:41but they've played the Broncos and the Patriots.
02:43So before we start anointing them
02:44the Kings of the North here,
02:47like, what are we doing?
02:48Like, come on, let's step back a little bit here.
02:52And before we start putting guys and teams in,
02:54like, oh, the Seahawks have totally turned things around,
02:56maybe let's see it against a real team.
02:59And I know the Dolphins, theoretically,
03:01are without their starting quarterback,
03:03and Skylar Thompson is a downgrade.
03:04We all understand that.
03:05But can he just be good enough to service the offense
03:09and get Tyree Kiel, the football,
03:11and hand the ball to Devon HM,
03:13who, by the way, has some extra time off here
03:15after playing last Thursday.
03:17So a little bit extra time, a little bit extra rest.
03:19That's a good thing for HM.
03:20So I love HM, love Taylor, love Mason.
03:23Those are three guys I'd circle the most
03:25in my DFS lineups this week.
