What's going on guys, it's Nick here back in that video first in season video 2020 for season bit of a different setup this week I'm away next week go back to the setup you guys like we got the notes on the side of the screen Everything like that, but this setup gonna have to be doing it this way But you guys are gonna see obviously the rankings are going to change every single day I'm gonna be updating them, but this is basically what you see when you have access to the rankings very very easy Understand point expected points per game just from last season matchup strength That's one thing we'll look at definitely in this video is red Like we've seen this first game Baltimore at Kansas City when you have good defenses bad match ups We're gonna have match up strength right here and in the projection and right here This is also we're looking at half BPR position rank just right now again I'm recording this on Tuesday every single day even Tuesday night I'm gonna keep updating through the rankings. They'll get more accurate those week But this is what things are looking like also want to know if you have a take in week one Go for it week one is always the one where it's like, you know, we don't know target shares We don't even know defenses right now. I have to use obviously last season's data when I'm doing these projections We don't know who the best defenses I mean we've a general sense and it can carry over from last season obviously We don't know exactly which match ups are gonna be favorable So if you've got to take go for it But then also try not to get too cute early in the season if you draft a wide receiver and like round one round two And they've a bad matchup most of the time you probably want to just play them But again, we'll go over the cases where that could be different this week. So yeah First game we're gonna have Thursday night game Baltimore at Kansas City 46 and a half points total right now It is the Chiefs that are three-point home favorite. So tough matchup all around We're seeing a lot of red in these columns a wider series of Baltimore bad matchup and they don't get a ton of targets So this is one of the spots where? Zay flowers does great out right now as wide receiver 43 again It's just a horrific matchup. You just don't want to be playing wide receivers against Kansas City I know conventional wisdom would say oh Kansas City wins a lot of games they get ahead people throw on them They're just historically even not just last season like oh years and years and years of data saying it is difficult playing wide receivers Against them. So he's not in a good spot if you had to play Zay flowers. I don't think it's a horrible choice He's projected for a little bit under ten half PPR points, you know a start where the player might be at like 12 so it's not Terrible, but he also kind of got draft in a range where maybe you do have a better option So this is one of them where if you've got someone else better than maybe you drafted around later has a much better matchup Maybe end up going with them. The main players are starting in this game. You're starting the quarterbacks It's very unlikely you'd be benching Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson any matchup They don't project amazingly because honestly like forty six and a half point total We're seeing like the defenses are good on both sides of this game And so you know if we were projecting both these teams Into the upper 20s. We'd have over a 50 point total in this game. We don't have that so we're expecting more of like You know 21 24 type game here. That's not one where we're seeing both quarterbacks over 300 yards So for three four touchdowns, and maybe they can get lucky and both end up scoring the three touchdowns on their team But the point is they're going to project a little bit lower. You're playing Lamar. You're playing Patrick Mahomes I think you're playing Derek Henry and any matchup Pacheco projects as 17 again, you're probably playing Pacheco Unless you went like three running backs in a row and you only want to play to him for some reason you're playing Pacheco You're playing Travis Kelsey. You're playing Rishi Rice. That's probably a fringe one where You know, you probably drafted rice and what the fifth sixth seventh round that general range Maybe one wide super heavy. Maybe he's like kind of fringe on the bench there, but he projects really well this week We don't have Marquis Brown. I don't know if he's been ruled out yet, but we're not gonna see Marquis Brown play this week That's gonna bump up target shares for especially the established players and we think early in the season right? They don't have Marquis Brown. They they have Xavier worthy, but he's rookie in his first week So he's probably not gonna see the snapshot in the usage. We're gonna expect him to see long-term It's a great spot forward to she rice for Travis Kelsey to really get going this week So that's mostly what I'd go with if you want to play worthy in the flex If you wanted to play as a flowers me both them preferably in like the second flex spot you can do that of course Mark Andrews You're starting him Beyond everyone I just mentioned probably not worth going after Chiefs no, okay, we just finished the cheese Packers at Eagles is up next this game has a 48 and a half point total So this is one of the bigger total games. This is the Friday game. We don't usually see Friday games, but I think I don't really want to try something out this week So they go with a Friday game 8 15 kickoff And I don't believe I'll confirm this in the comment section I'm pretty sure this game's like in like Mexico or something like that. It's not it's not at Eagles I'm pretty sure but they're gonna get the home game kind of stinks for them So Packers at Eagles 48 and a half point total one point favorites for Eagles So should be I mean, that's one of the highest old games the week So should be high scoring game should be a very very close game should be a great game overall Obviously every week played Jalen hurts Jordan love projects really really well this week And this is why you see all this green over here for the wide receivers It's a great matchup for wide receivers against Philly and that's where a ton of the production on the Packers comes from is wide receiver So if that's gonna be the case it just sets up beautifully for the Packers to find a lot of success in this game And I would not be surprised at all if they won this game No one honestly has a very bad matchup the worst matchup looks like Eagles running max against Green Bay and that's not even that terrible of a matchup So pretty good matchups all around you're playing hurts. I think you're playing love if you have him You're starting AJ Brown. You're starting Devonta Smith Wouldn't go to Dotson Just we have no idea what the world's gonna be but like you drafted him in like round 20 Like there's no way you're going with Dotson. If you wanted to play Dallas Scottr. I think it's fine I didn't love Dallas Garter. I doubt really anyone who watches these video ended up with Dallas Garter He's a little bit banged up I would like check his status see what they're thinking a snapshot is gonna be if he's even playing this week But regardless, I mean, he's like a fringe tight end one I probably wouldn't want to play him, but if you draft me He's the only tight end we're not looking on free agency to fill that spot But yeah for the Packers, it's gonna be tough with their wide receivers I mean, you're you're starting Jacobs We know that you know with Dylan IR for the season. He's done with Lloyd on the pop like they have him and they have a manual Well, so you're starting Josh Jacobs. I don't care what else you have Oh, and I didn't mention sake one obviously start take one for the Eagle side for that packer side Start Jacobs the wide receivers are gonna be a little tough, right? So right now I have Jane Reid 24th Christian Watson 30th Romeo Dom's 34th and done tavian wicks 47th I would say you're probably not starting wicks because you probably draft him's like your fifth wide receiver The matchup is great, but I'd want to see it in week one Like anyone be surprised we went out there at like a 60% snap share had two catches 40 yards No, no one would be shocked at that outcome So I think pump the brakes on wicks to start the season You hope that you have him he goes off and then you just start him next week But pump the brakes there Dobbs and Watson are just flex plays Watson's the high up side play Dobbs is the you know relatively stable target share play But again, we just don't know a lot for the packers So this is another one where if you have a take you like no Nick Jane Reid is sick He's easily the best wide receiver or maybe you think that for Romeo Dobbs or maybe you think that with Christian Watson Whatever you think you've got to take on it go for it. They all project relatively similarly It's gonna come down to who hits on a big play who scores a touchdown I do have Jane Reid in one league in the action two leagues and I'm playing him in both of those leagues I do not have Watson or Dobbs So I can't tell you on them, but I feel like they'd be really good flex plays one thing I'll say though is it's the Friday game right you kind of don't want to start them in the flex But one caveat to that is fewer injuries this week So normally it'd be like you never start Thursday player or Friday player in the flex spot because you lose flexibility if you have injuries If things like that happen, they just kind of pop up. You weren't expecting it's week one people probably aren't that hurt So you could still play them there, but they're a wide receiver So if you're gonna play them don't put them in the flex spot put them at wide receiver next game to the Sunday games stealers at Falcons 45 and a half point total which honestly is like a little bit I don't know a little bit higher than I would have expected. Oh, I lied to it opened at 45 and a half It's down to 42. So I think people agreed with me that 45 and a half was too much 42 point total We're looking at a three-point favorite for the Falcons, which makes sense at home These teams are relatively evenly matched Gonna really just depend on the quarterback play for the Steelers kind of how good they do We'll start with the Steelers side You're not starting Russell Wilson. He rejects his the 31st quarterback at 32 only Jacobi Brissette is behind him And honestly, there's not a lot to love here as you can see Atlanta's not like an amazing matchup a little bit negative for running backs Little bit positive for I Said running back there probably pickens wide receiver a little bit negative for Wide receivers a little bit positive for running backs, but relatively neutral Historically, you know, they've played a little bit slower. They've ran the ball a little more so that can limit plays on the other side But then you think okay historically they've been terrible. So they've been going three and out this season We're expecting them to play a little bit faster throw the ball more But then also be better and so if the Falcons find themselves ahead Then they can go back to running the ball. They can limit the opposing place So I feel like it's somewhat of a wash in terms of that aspect I think it's more just how much do you trust these offense, right? How much do you trust Russell Wilson? How much do you trust? You know Arthur Smith to run Productive off and so I think you're playing George Pickens I think the upside rim to go out there and have a 30% target share is there the matchup is good enough He projects well enough to where I would at least try and get him in to flex spot But I wouldn't play any of their other wide receivers that doesn't seem like great play for the running backs If you want to play nausea or warning my - it seems like Warren's good to go But definitely check his status there if Warren were to miss this week Which again, I don't expect but if it were to happen a nausea Harris would probably be a must play I don't know exactly where to project But he probably projected the top five running back as he get you know an 80% touch share You'd definitely be playing him if they're both gonna play they're both kind of like low-end twos to flex plays Really depends on what else you have there, but Pittsburgh side's not gonna be really appealing all season and I probably wouldn't pay Pat front Atlanta side, I think you're just playing the studs, right? Depends on Kirk exactly who you have if you're playing him If you drafted him as you're on the quarterback, you have to play him I probably wouldn't go to streaming if you picked up two quarterbacks. We can see exactly where have the other one I don't know what the matchup is for the other one But he's not like some amazing play great sales quarterback 16 be John running back to you playing him every week And then I would play Drake London. I would play Kyle Pitts like it just I don't care what the matchup is They're gonna project well enough they're gonna be good enough players You're gonna play them and I just wouldn't go to secondary players So this is a very this is very much a game where you want to go to the primary players in this team And especially for like Warren and Najee if you drafted them as starters You're probably playing them if you drafted them more as depth pieces. You're probably not playing them Jaguars at Dolphins up next high total in this one 49 and a half point total I want to say that's the highest we can see as we go through the games But I think that might be the highest total game of the week and then only a three-point favorite for Miami So we're seeing 23.25 projected points for the Jaguars 26.25 for the dolphins So it should be a high scoring game and we're seeing you know much better chance that we can have you know, really elevated Play is really elevated. You know touchdown yards everything going on in this game So it could be a really good eruption spot You want to lean towards these spots if anything is Close for a tiebreaker you're leaning towards spots that can explode the Jaguar side. I would play Lawrence if you have him projects 11th if you're streaming. He probably is your top option. So I would play Trevor Lawrence I'd play Travis ETN. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to draft him as you're either running back one running back to Get a really high scoring game and then not play him. So I play Travis ETN It doesn't project amazingly because we don't know yet with big speed But I have a feeling he might move up a few spots in rematch ranking. So I would play him wide receivers I would just stick with Kirk like I like Brian Thomas Jr. Long term. I think Gabe has some level of upside this season. I Probably would not play either one of them, especially in week one Just not knowing Brian Thomas Jr. How he's gonna impact things not knowing it Gabe is really actually gonna work with this offense Like there's so many unknowns there. It's like play Kirk play ETN play Ingram play Lawrence With Lawrence being you know still a back half quarterback one and probably don't play anyone else for Miami play everyone Again, it's high scoring game. They're playing at home Their favorites like just play everyone that you have there. So it's Tyree kills. Definitely your starting lineup I would play to a if you had him. I do actually have a league I don't know my decision yet where I have Trevor Lawrence and to it's a 16 team league I Avoided quarterback had to get both of them. So maybe some of you are in that similar situation I don't know yet what I'm gonna do my gut says I'm probably gonna go with to a go with the home quarterback go with the quarterback that is favored the quarterback That has much more explosive players. So maybe I'll flip flop them But again, they're projected 18 3 and 18. So it could be very easy to flip flop them Yeah, we'll see exactly what happens there, but they're very close to each other Before in Miami side You're playing hill. You're playing wattle. You're playing a Chan most of it's probably the questionable one But he projects pretty good this week projects 22nd. I don't know exactly where you drafted him But it's likely his ADP was around like the low 30s. So it's a week where he does project pretty well I would also expect early season. So with Jalen right, he's more of a concerned long-term Right, if you think right really takes over it's pretty unlikely that right goes out there Has a pretty strong role in week one. So if you were ever going to play most or even in the flex spot This would be the time early season. He's healthy right hasn't really broken out yet Like I would probably play routine most or if you've got him this week And then john new smith if you drafted him as that option go for it He projects his 20th tight ends. You probably don't need to go there. I'm excited about his potential this year But you probably don't need to play him this week Vikings at giants is up next low 41 and a half point total One and a half point road favorites for the Vikings even with sam darled at quarterback For the viking side Play just in jefferson. See he projects as the number one wide receiver Sam darled You probably don't need to do it and I would say if you had two quarterbacks He was probably your second We'll see what happens right like just just watch the game if he goes out there He has 300 yards three touchdowns and we're like oh my goodness any quarterback and succeed on the Vikings We can play him next week. Take a pause. Don't play him this week You're not playing any other wide receivers. You're not playing any of the tight ends on the Vikings. Uh, it would really just be Um erron jones I would play as like a you know high-end running back to the low one wide receiver one or running back one Uh and then tie Chandler. That's a questionable one I have him in a league where we have two flex spots I'm probably not gonna play him because I probably want to just see what the split is with erron jones I think he's gonna be the one B, but I think he's gonna have a decent role Um, the thing really just is like it's a little bit exciting knowing that like, you know, they don't have Oh, I'm I'm projecting Addison out by the way if you don't see him on the screen here Um that obviously makes jefferson a better play and what I was gonna say there is It makes it more appealing because if Addison does miss the game You've got erron jones and tie Chandler maybe getting more run Maybe they don't want to run as many three wide receiver sets. They don't have hawkins in yet And so it's like maybe they run two running back sets Maybe they run the ball a lot more he's running back to the screen game So I can see a path to tie Chandler having actually like a pretty solid game Plus they're playing the Giants who aren't necessarily like a defense that want to attack It's more like they're often stinks and so The Vikings are probably gonna have plenty of opportunities if they can you know convert in the red zone Even though they're projected total right now is 21 and a half points We can see them score 27 28 and you know that that could give us potentially four touchdowns on the side I'm not projecting four touchdowns. They're probably only gonna score two to three But there's a path there to them scoring a lot more to them being up late using the running max So I can see it, but you probably draft a tight channel is like your fourth or fifth running max So you probably don't have to the giant side I probably wouldn't play daniel jones this week. He projects. Okay, but I would want to see this offense kind of operate first Singletary I probably would play Project's 20th right now. I could see that moving up just a little bit we know that We don't know yet, but we're thinking that Tyler and Tracy juniors not gonna play and we know that in the preseason Singletary is basically featured now. I don't think that's gonna happen once Tracy is back but If we get a featured running back here, I don't care where they're playing If Singletary is the upside to play, you know 80 85 percent of the snaps You probably want to play them So I would find a way to get Singletary in your starting lineup And then it would just be neighbors play neighbors every week Um project's 16th right now. I think he's a great pick But I probably just would not play any of their other wide receivers Someone would really have to break out to be someone I wanted to start Uh What I thought was going to be a gross game up next Titans at Bears and what historically has been a gross game 45 point total and only a three and a half point spread in favor of the bears actually Um, you know historically the bears have stunk and it tightens have been boring and so usually we get this match up and it's terrible But we've got Caleb Williams now, you know, we've got DJ Moore Medunze Keena now and on the Chicago side with the Andre Swift We've got now what it'll likely be a pass heavy Titanstein. That's gonna, you know, play faster And so it's actually pretty exciting Um potential for this game. Uh, it also has a lot of potential to be let down everyone really likes Titans offensive players everyone really likes the upside of the bears Uh, definitely a chance that that does not happen in week one and that we see you know This game really go and hit the under go for like 36 37 points. So we'll see what happens I'm hoping for a shootout, but uh, I'm not gonna guarantee if that's gonna happen Caleb projects fine I wouldn't play levis but Caleb projects fine if you you know drafting him as your starter Um, if you have another option though, like you drafted Lawrence you drafted two I probably would play both those quarterbacks instead if we're looking on the uh, Titan side to start off with The wider series don't project amazingly. Uh, it's not a great matchup. It's also on the road It's also with will levis and we haven't really seen it yet So if you can bench really to start off with if you can bench hopkins, I probably would Um, even their running backs paulred spears. They both project fine They both project is like low in twos kind of flex plays Um, if you've got to play them do it if you can afford to bench them I probably would just kind of like see what the split is Um, because again, I just I do think the bears defensive solid especially playing on the road It's it's kind of tough going into you know, chicago and playing there. So I don't know that I would play Really anyone on the titans if we're being honest, uh, for the bear side though You probably have to play dij more. He's another one where it's like you drafted him in probably round three He's not gonna project amazingly this week. Um, big just because we don't know We don't know exactly what the split's gonna be between him and dunes a keenan alan right now I'm just saying play more if you got them a dunes a keenan alan You probably didn't draft them as starters. So leave them on the bench see what happens in the first week See what the target share is see what killed booms looks like and kind of go from there in week two Uh, and then finally dondrae swift. It's another one. We're like, I just don't know I mean it seems like they're probably gonna run a split have clue herbert kind of mix in there Maybe have roshan. I don't know if he's gonna be active But maybe have roshan in there as well and if that happens swifts, you know upside gets capped But there's that chance that it really goes off. So if this is another one where it's like if you Um If you have that take you're like no nik. I I think dondrae so it's gonna have you know a 70% snap share really get a lot of perceptions as well play them right like we just don't know and so It's kind of what i'm baking into the projections. It's just not really knowing um I would probably bench them and just see what happens but you do you right you think there's a there's a good play there play Panthers at saints up next low 41 and a half point total uh four point home favorites for the Saints another game where there's not going to be a lot of fantasy goodness here You're not starting either one of the quarterbacks Um for the panthers side. You're starting jonzo johnson if you have him I know a lot of people would drafted him not to be a starter Again, I just think you're starting diante if you have him projects really strongly this week But we see a lot of red too. We see bad offenses and we see red on the match up So If it's a tiebreaker between diante and someone else in a better game You can go to the other player really anyone this game tiebreaker lean away from this game It's got potential to be really really bad Um, but yeah for the panthers. It is really just diante and it is Um chuba if you've drafted that like chuba and brooks combo you need to start chuba this week You can project us running back 29. Oh, okay match up for him winnable game I know I said four point home favorites to the saints, but that's not a huge spread Um, the panthers can definitely win this game. So if you think they can win Uh, you think chuba is featured over single terry. You can definitely go there for the saint side Um, oh la vie. I think you're starting every single week that would be one where I know it's a really tough match Up, but you drafted him in round two around three You probably do just to kind of have to kind of eat the pad match up there and play him Um camara fringe right in that same thing as chuba hovered very similar match up um Benefits from that potential upside of you know, if they don't trust jamaa williams They don't trust any of their other backups because they also don't have kendry miller out there Um camara has the upside do rack up especially with you know Uh, derrick car quarterback has potential to rack up five six seven receptions And that doesn't matter what else he did that's really helping him out there So I would say a little bit more upside in camara than chuba in this game um, but Camara A strong play. It's just really comes down to do you need him because you didn't draft camara that early um tight ends Depends if you can play taste some hill at the tight end spot Um, I don't know what format you are on, but he projects 11 He's gonna have a low floor though. He's kind of basically need to score if he doesn't score He's gonna have like three carries for 20 yards And maybe a catch and you're gonna be like well that was really annoying Uh, but he's probably gonna be their cold line back. So play him if you need to next game Uh, what should be a very very good game. Um, I could see this being another one that really really goes off in terms of um, just like Explosive plays, um and just like really gets this game going But it's cardinals at bills 48 and a half point total bills six point home favorites Moving in the cardinals direction a little bit open at seven point home favorites for buffalo Um, again app Buffalo is a difficult place to play. You're gonna see red on um, oh again I'm already a few percent there ever has the ari that was holding on. Um, you're gonna see the red for Wide receiver here again at buffalo tough. You're gonna see the red for quarterback You're gonna see the red for running back. So it's a difficult match up playing, uh, the buffalo bills Especially in buffalo, but I would probably play Kyler if you drafted him Marmhertz and junior does not project well, but it's week one and we just don't know What is his yards perception? How are they using him downfield? How are they using him in the run zone? What is this target show? We just kind of don't know a ton of things about Marmhertz and junior and this cardinals offense And so if you drafted him in round one round two Play him like don't don't avoid it. Just just play him this week. Um, I know the projections That can be there. I'm gonna try and get it higher. It's such difficult to do It's just really hard to do having not seen Any of this offense play with him there, um, but I'll play Marv Um, I would play tremic bride. I would play James Conner. Um, he projects really strongly this week, especially Um, a lot of these Running backs that are established and they have the backup behind them early seasons when you want to play them They're not going to roll tray Benson out there to some super strong workload in week one So If you have James Conner, I again, I would just play him this week If you look on the and I wouldn't play any of the other wide receivers on your zone If you look on the buffalo side, obviously play Josh Allen play James cook if you drafted him Um, it's another situation. You have ray davis behind him, but ray davis is probably going to grow his role Um throughout the season. Um Kincaid you have to play him Wide receivers, honestly i'd bench them all like we just don't know Um, it's not like the match-up's good. It's a negative 3.62 for the match-up. So Keon Coleman Shakir Curtis Samuel. Let's just see bench them all see what happens You have one of them again. You hope they go off in the bench. You hope they have a strong role It's just not really worth it. I know the the game has a really high total It's got a lot of potential. We just don't know anything about their wide receiver room So I would just bench all of them Gross game Next up new england hat the bangles 40 and a half point total which is the lowest one we've mentioned so far and most of those points are on the bangles side Nine point home favorites patreon for 15.75 points the lowest of the week Bursett is the lowest rated quarterback of the week by 1.1 point which is absolutely embarrassing I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but there's a lot for the projections. Um on new england Stevenson, I mean if you want to play stevenson go for it literally other than that. I just wouldn't play anyone for the bangles side Um tough match-up still like the patriots are terrible and so they're probably gonna have much three and outs They're gonna get sacked a ton of times. That's gonna lead for the potential to score more But there's also that other risk that maybe they only sack them five times or only five times Maybe they sack them five times, but there's no funnels Maybe they have to renounce But like they do drive sometimes and they they they play slow and they don't really do a whole lot and they run the ball And like the clock just kind of drips and then you're still playing new england who historically is just always just a strong defense So burrow doesn't project well, but you probably have to play him if you have them Um, you have to play chase if he plays if chase does not play you have to play t-higgins I'll obviously adjust those rankings if we see chase play I don't know yet. We'll have to see if he'll be on a snap count because now we're getting to the range where there's potential to be a snap count Because this situation as of recording this has not been Um Figured out yet. We don't exactly know What the split is gonna be there in terms of like if he plays is he gonna be out there? I'm only 70% of the plays who's not practicing. We don't know so I'll fiddle with the t-higgins projection. Um, it's just like I just don't want to play that many players Against um the patriots And then for the running max again, we don't know split chase brown zach moss They don't project well because we're kind of splitting things and a negative matchup But if you have a take you think yours is the guy that has a 67% share of these touches go for it Yeah, there's actually not that many plays in this game because it's not a great game overall Great game overall though up next houston at the colts. That's gonna be a sweet game We've got the domes. There's no weather concerns. We've got these two young quarterbacks. We've got these explosive offenses Oh, I'm very excited about this game. So uh 49 point total Two and a half point road favorites for the texans play Anthony Richardson play cj shroud They project amazingly this week. Uh, we're looking at the texan side the road team Playing eco colons. Definitely. I would just play mall play tanked out play step on digs You probably drafted him as starters. It's a good match up good spot Not a great match up, but it's such a good environment that it kind of takes over from the match up play them all Um play don't show to use your only tight end, but I probably wouldn't go there Um And then uh mixin play mixin as well just play everyone basically houston Uh, but I would prefer not to play Schultz but yet if he's only tight end you gotta play him Uh for the indy side richard sim projects great. You have to play him pitman projects. Well play him Um, obviously play john thand taylor Um secondary wide receivers wouldn't play the tight ends wouldn't play the secondary wide receivers I would stick to like the you know the big three on the indy side. Yeah, it's a very exciting game So fringe options or like fringe players right? Like you drafted a good team. You've got digs You've got tanked l kind of on that sideline there. I would probably err on the side of playing them this week Raiders at chargers is up next. We've got a low 40 and a half point total three point home favorites for the chargers Not a ton not a ton to love in this spot Um, it's a good match up for the wide receivers of the raiders the problem is they have minxu is their quarterback So we don't 100 know there. Um, but you're playing adams If you need to play zemir because you went hero you went rv zero I'm fine with it because the touches are locked in like he's getting a ton of touches It's just that It's the raiders and he's not gonna have many receptions and I kind of want to see the offense first So if you can bench him do it, uh, but honestly he projects 33rd Those touches are locked in he scored a touchdown would be good play if you gotta play him. I would have no problem doing that There'll be a big question of Myers the likelihood is you drafted Myers in range We don't have to play him but he was a great pick a ton of you have him if you drafted from the rankings I would be fine playing Myers this week, but don't force him into your line If he's like your fifth wide receiver, you can only start three don't play jacobie Myers You probably have you know three top 35 wide receiver So and I wouldn't play backwards in his first game. So it would really just be adams and maybe zemir right there and then the chargers Probably wouldn't play the running max because we don't know what the split's gonna be And it's not like the match-ups amazing their favor, but they're literally the favorite team with 21.75 points So they're not exactly going off. I would just see what happens there I would see what happens with the wide receivers. I would see what happens with herbert I would not play a single chargers player. I would put them on the bench. Hope they go off. It's just I don't trust it. It like it's i'm not saying they're gonna be terrible I'm just saying we don't know anything about this offense. How run and everything gonna be, you know, how are they gonna split those running Attempts, how are they we can do a three running max committee or two running max committee How are they swing the wide receivers? They're rotating a ton of those in how many touches these wide receivers get like There's just so many unknowns that I want to see it happen for a week first Broncos at seahawks is up next Seattle here 42 point total six point home favorites for Seattle so not a ton of points projected on the denver side only 18.25 But a good 24 point two five point total for the seahawks for the broncos. You're not playing bonyx basically Sutton's the only wide receiver I would trust Uh, I probably would not play mcgluff. I know a lot of you drafted him But hold off for a week. You didn't draft an arrangement. You need to play him. So don't play him Uh javanta williams. I think if it's close He's got enough upside early season because I don't I don't be shocked if estimate doesn't play I think they could activate estimate and do that three committee Don't be shocked if they don't activate him and they activate like like Watson or something like that instead Um, and if that happens We're really looking at um At williams being like, okay, you're gonna get goal line. You're gonna get early down You're gonna be heavily involved in the receiving game We've talked for a long time about how denver is going to probably target the running max At the highest rate of any team nano film potentially the most targets in total even not even just higher rate So he's got a lot of upside plus you see this green. I mean, it's like a seven point matchup boost for um seattle Oh, and that just means um that's how many extra points we should expect the matchup to be So like seattle running max whatever they normally score boosted by seven. That's what this matchup is or excuse me Denver running max playing seattle anyone playing seattle It's a seven point boost for all of the running max not just one running max obviously Um, but that's a really good boost. Um, and so I think if it's a tie if it's close pledge of onto williams this week Um, but yeah, it would basically just be javanta williams and horton son potentially Be Sutton doesn't even project that amazingly because he's a slightly negative matchup for the seattle side definitely play matt cap Definitely play ken walker. Um After that You're you can stream gino. He projects pretty well, but i'm probably gonna tinker with that one He might drop a little bit in the projections Um, you can play fant he's on the fringes it kind of depends what else you did there If he's your second tight end though, don't put him in there if you drafted like in what top like 10 tight end um But it would basically be Maybe stream gino play matt cap play ken walker and if you have to play Uh jackson smith and jigba do it Uh, wash a status of locket too though if locket is out jason probably bumps up to a must play. Um, but also this is an amazing game so tiebreaker wise give jimons win to tiebreaker, but for a lot of players if it's close in this game It's not an amazing spot. So you don't like have to play all these guys next game up commanders at bucks, uh Another mediocre game. I mean 43 and a half. Um, basically the 43 and a half there is Washington's defense stinks and they're explosive So if if the bucks hit with like two long touchdowns to my kevins We actually could see this game pop off because like washington has you know, mclorin they have mobile quarterback They could still put up, you know 21 24 points in the spot and if we start seeing the bucks taking advantage of the commander's terrible defense As you can see by all the green on the screen right now. Um Then we could see a higher total. So that's why it's 43 and a half and not like 39 But there are a lot of outcomes here where the matchups are, you know, really on the negative or really in the positive So there's a lot of variance to the spot here. Um, yeah, three point home favorites for the bucks for the commander side Um Do you draft the jane dale's your starter plan? I think the mobility is enough. The matchup is good enough where I would just play um Other than that, I don't know that I'd play the running max. I want to see the split Um tempeh is also like the one negative matchup is the you know, the running max Uh against tampa bay. So I don't know if I go there. Um, mclorin you're playing. I think if you got him play him Uh, it's a really strong matchup for him Um Just so clear the top wide receiver and if you think, you know, they just brought on uh, no a brown They've got um first game for luke macafry like if there's ever a time where mclorin's gonna go out there and have like a 35 30 share it's probably week one. So again got mclorin definitely playing this week I could see him be boosting his target share as the week kind of goes on Um, but yeah, not much other than that. I would play jane dale's. I play mclorin I probably wouldn't play anyone else to be honest for the buck stuff baker projects is a great streaming option If you can stream baker definitely do it again the commander's defense is terrible um The bucks are not going to be three point favorites in like a ton of games this season And especially, you know, um, again, like I said the potential of these games really high play my covence if you have him Play chris godman if you have him play rishad white if you have him I wasn't huge in rishad white but it's such a good spot eight points eight point five seven point boost And he could have a decent amount of those definitely play white this week is again buck yerving rookie I like buck yerving buck yerving is probably not going to go out there and have 15 touches So especially if they're winning rishad white set up really nicely this week Again stream baker evans godwin white great plays probably wouldn't go to mcmillan Probably don't have to play on but if you were streaming tight end on would also be a good play Three games left Potential game of the week. I actually don't know what the game of the week is this week But dale's usually gets it a lot of the time. Um, 41 and a half point total Two and a half now so actually dale's open is one and a half point favorites the line has moved to the Browns two and a half point favorites life line for the Browns that's actually a little bit surprising. I thought dale's would be favorites in the spot. Uh, it looks like more Money that was coming in on the dale side, but that actually kind of makes sense anyways, uh, dale's side I guess it's probably because it's the road. I didn't keep doing these standards It's probably because it's on the road for dale's. They just historically play so much better at home It's so much worse on the road, especially outside. That's probably it. Um anyways dale's um Dak projects badly and that's probably why. I mean they're only projected score 19 and a half points If that's gonna happen dax not gonna have that great a game So if you can stream maybe do something else, um, we had dak projects poorly CD lamb obviously play him every single week Um Other than that, I would just see what happens with like dowdle versus zig versus cook versus Um, uh, deuce like, uh, deuce fawn Don't play the running max Um, play CD lamb don't play anyone else for the wide receiver room and then play Ferguson if you have them but yeah, it's not um There's not really that many secondary players for that list like they have a good offense But it's basically just dak and Ferguson for right now and cook Um I think he's gonna be good, but check his status. He's had this like knee injury Obviously that would boost told her but if he's out, it doesn't really make me want to play anyone else Um, and I probably wouldn't play bring the cooks and you probably don't have to play him Anyways for the brown side. I would not play to sean watson. I would need to see him play well before ever starting him um I would play forward. So if you drafted drum forward later on you drafted here you drafted Um, are we zero even if you drafted relatively running max heavy Drum forward is going to have very strong. We'll start the season They are home favorites with an okay 22 point total But like I would play drum forward if you had them. It's not an amazing matchup But again, I would probably play them other than that on the brown side Amari projects, okay Um, if you had to play Judy and be like, oh gosh, I wouldn't really love that there are not that many good plays in this game um cd lamb Ferguson Jerome forward Other than that. Lee again, if you got to play Amari in the flex go for it But there's not that many players. I would want to play in the spot it's a 41 a half point total on it two teams that have you know a decent amount of Players that like we are starting in fantasy. So it's not a high total That's not a lot of projected touchdowns to go around for these guys Next game up should be a sweet game high solo the week 51 points rams at Lions, oh man the potential of this game. That's the sunday night game. So it's gonna be a sweet game on sunday night Play people in this game that you drafted early, right? So I just just play everyone go off to quality streaming option, but um for the lions play amma Ross and brown play jamira gibbs play monk gumery if it's a fringe option for you He's probably going to score touch on this week Uh play sam laporda hold off on jamo jameson williams if you need to play him do it But I would want to maybe just just see right we're thinking he's the clear too But just kind of see what it looks like in week one and then go from there after that Um, and if we look on the ram side, I don't know why Oh, I probably have it as la. Well, that's annoying But on the ram side, I think we kind of just know what to do, right? Stafford's a streaming option that'll be solid And we know that chiron should be played Cup should be played puka should be played after that. You're not playing quorum If you need to stream parkinson, you can kind of do that Um, but I probably Wouldn't I do have in the 16 team league and i'm still not starting him so that should give you some sort of indication Um, but yeah play play the studs. This is a great game play the studs From this game finally game of the week Monday night football. We have got the jets at the 49ers a 43 point total Not because the offenses are bad because the defenses. I mean look at this Negative 15 points for the wide receiver match up for the 49ers That's why i alluded to to start uh, the video with just it's impossible for me to project I tried to I tried to boost target shares everything for a yuke in debo It's the jets are just so good that it's very difficult to project either one of them That great, but again 43 points total Uh, looks like four and a half points is a line in favor of san fran That only puts the jets total at 19 san frans at 23 and a half again bad match ups all around McCaffrey has a solid match up on the ground. Basically everything else is a negative match up. So Stick to the studs when we've got these good defenses, right? You're playing christian McCaffrey You're playing breese hall After that you're playing probably george kittle because you probably don't have another option It's it's a totally fine. It's only negative point one. So play george kittle if you have him You're probably not playing perdy not playing erin rogers Then you get to gere wilson a yuke in debo And that's the decision that is like The decision point you have this week. You drafted gere wilson round one plan. You drafted a yuke debo in round two Probably just plan. I know they're not going to project well Uh, but especially it's a hammer, right? It's nice having someone on that monday night game I just think they're talented enough players. I know the defense is bad. It's one play The foreigners are good enough where debo can get loose for one play Be terrible. Everything else and have a 60-yard touchdown and you're going to be pretty upset The eventually round two round three player four is like some flex play that you drafted in round seven or eight So unless you have like these Amazing other options and you're okay with it. I know the rankings don't say they're amazing I play brand that on you. I play debo samuel this week So that is the end of the week one rankings video again Next week we're going to have the notes up on the screen to be a little better If you want access to the rankings the entire season if you have signed up for underdog You already have that it was not just for the draft rankings is for in season as well So anyone who signed up for underdog with promo code FFA made a minimum ten dollar deposit You have access to these in season rankings detail projections all that stuff So go to the site check them out see how they update Um and definitely keep coming back because they're going to update throughout the week And if you want to see these for free every single week again Go to underdog sign up for promo code FFA making minimum ten dollar deposit next morning I'm going to email you access to the site for the rest of the season through the super bowl You will have access to these rankings in the detail projections very player plus any underdog content I post and it's a great time to sign up right now the day this goes live They're going to have a special for um vulture It's a new thing that they have you guys know, um, obviously if someone like vultures a touchdown Let's say you've got the higher on saquon barkley 0.5 rushing touchdowns or it'd be total touchdowns can be rushing or receiving if he gets vultured So let's say they get to the one yard line jaylin hurts goes in there. You're like, oh no jaylin hurts has a one yard rushing touchdown You can have vulture protect protection. It's a special. They have the day this video goes up So do some pick comes i'm going to have when this goes up Uh, sometimes during the day i'm going to have my favorite pick comes for underdog create a pick-up slip include someone you think of potentially a vulture It's just free equity, right? So if that happens they're not going to count it as a loss as long as everything else in your slip is fine You'll be okay. So it's yet vulture production. It's a really cool concept because it's super annoying, right? You have jamere gibbs david Montgomery score some one yard rushing touchdown That's just annoying to have right. So it's kind of cool go in there Um, see if there's some players you want to kind of add into there and just use vulture production again to special for uh, Wednesday they're gonna have other special start to week You know just like higher than 0.5 yards for different players So again go to underdog sign up for the promo code ffa minimum ten dollar deposit Not only are you getting a 50 percent deposit bonus up to a thousand dollars getting these rankings for free You're also just getting you know extra content this week They're trying to you know get a lot of people to sign up so they're giving away a lot of things for free It's definitely a good time good time to sign up.
