Join the guys live every Sunday night after True Detective on the ringer's YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook pages. Welcome, welcome, welcome, come one, come all to the Danny C Football Podcast. My name is Danny Hypatts. I'm joined by my co-host and co-danny, Danny Kelly. What up?
Starting point is 00:00:45 What is up, man? We are here in the studio. We got producer Jim and full-time Craig. Hello, hello. Hey, I'm starting Sean Mannion this week. It's benign. Actually, before we even get to DFS, we have some urgent news, which is Ram's running back Todd Gurley, just tweeted at McKenzie Bezos. I actually said, who got McKenzie Bezos's IG or Twitter, eyes emoji?
Starting point is 00:01:06 It's pretty easy to find out, I feel like, in this world. You don't know if you need to tweet that. Yeah, Google? That's the long shot of the week for a DFS show. It's a low percentage, but it's a high-risk, high-reward play. So that's why we're not starting to tell you really this world. That's bulletin-board material. He's not taking the Cowboys seriously, you know?
Starting point is 00:01:21 He's not. He's thinking about that girl. His head's not focused. I'd be pissed if I was on the Cowboys. All right, I'm really pumped. This is the divisional round. It's probably the best weekend of maybe the whole year for DFS. I'm pretty excited, as Kevin O'Connor would say, pumped and jacked.
Starting point is 00:01:35 and I'm pretty pumped because we're going to have some fun. We all kind of made a DFS lineup. We have no idea what it is. And by the end of this podcast, me, D.K. And full-time Craig, we will live here with one agreed-upon DFS lineup. We're going to play the one-and-only fan duel, half-pr. We're going to tournament style, so we're swinging for the fences. But we're going to agree.
Starting point is 00:01:58 There's going to be bloodshed, tears, hopefully name-calling, if we're any good at this. We're doing the full lineup, all four games, by the way. Not one day. Yeah, the whole weekend. Yeah. Because, you know, it's like daily fantasy, but like, you know, times two. It's like the weekends, like twice daily. Double daily.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Wow, that's good. Jeopardy. So, yeah, we're just going to run position by position and scream at each other until I get everything I want. See if we can construct a lineup at the end. I will tell everybody if we are over or under in price. And if that's the case, we'll figure it out. All right. Quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:02:25 I have Andrew Luck. I have Nick Foles. Oh, really? Be serious. Oh, wow. I have Philip Rivers. Oh, shit. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Great start, guys. I did luck because. I only liked Breeze, Goff, and Mahomes and luck in this and luck is the only one that his team cannot win without him. I don't think the Chief's pass rush is going to get him to him. Their defense sucks. He's going to have time, and it seems like the Chiefs have a good pass rush, but they also get to just pin their ears back.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I think the Colts are in the game and he shreds them. I like the luck pick. I went for value this week at quarterback. I think if you look at it, Phil Rivers is the lowest valued quarterback. among all his starters. I mean, I kind of like the Nick Foles one too now that I think about it, though. But, I mean, if you look at Rivers' last few games, his stats are pretty bad, but he faced the Ravens, the Broncos, and the Ravens in the last three games.
Starting point is 00:03:19 I think that's probably part of why he's undervalued right now. He actually finished the season as QB11, average 17.7 points per game. I think that he is undervalued, and I want to spend my money on my roster this week on skill positions. So that's why I went with Rivers. I just think that if you look at the relative value of how much he's got, 7,300 right now. So that's 1,100 extra dollars to spend on skill positions compared to luck. So that's why I like rivers. But I kind of do like Foles too. So I went with Foles, one, because he's a demigod and you don't want to go against one of those. Two, this game's going to be a shootout, and he's the cheapest shootout option, I think. New Orleans is giving up 29 most points to the pass. And Phil, although $100 cheaper, I think the charges are going to be way more dedicated to run the football, and the Eagles don't have a prominent running back whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:04:11 This game's going to be in the 40s and 30s. And Nick Foles is $1,000 cheaper than Andrew Luck. Who was my second option? I originally had luck. And I thought that the difference between Luck and Foles, $1,000 was too great compared to the potential of point scoring between the two of them. I'd rather have that 1,000 somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:04:29 I'll concede. I'll concede. I'll concede on luck. I'm not sure if I want Foles or really. I'll concede it on luck. It's only $100 difference. All right, so now we get to choose between foals and rivers. So what is it, what's going to be? Danny, I think you're kind of the, you got to decide here because we both gave you our pitch.
Starting point is 00:04:44 What's the weather going to be like in New England? Yeah, I might be snowy. I'm going to merge this conversation. I'm going to already break the rules that we, the arbitrary rules. I'm going to break this conversation and merge this into the running back thing. Just because I, I think the Patriots are going to be running the ball a ton. I think it's weird to say, but I think after the Ravens just ran the, the ball, a bunch against the Chargers.
Starting point is 00:05:05 And I know everyone made a big deal of, like, the Chargers having seven defensive backs in the, in the secondary and, like, kind of playing safeties as linebackers. They were able to do that for two reasons. One, their defensive line kind of dominated the Ravens' offensive line. And if the Chargers' defensive line didn't do that, then those, you know, Adrian Phillips and those safeties up in the box would have gotten crushed. They also kind of knew what the Ravens were going to do. They're not going to know what the Patriots are doing.
Starting point is 00:05:29 So they're not going to be able to play those guys. And I know I'm off on a tangent here, but what I'm saying is, If the Chargers aren't able to, like, know what the offense is doing, there's a real chance that they're going to get exposed for not having those linebackers. I think the Patriots are going to have, like, a very, like, Sony Michelle dominated, maybe even like Rex Burkhead kind of game plan. So I'm actually intrigued by the idea of not the Philip Rivers while doing better than the Ravens, not being in the shootout, and maybe Nick Folls.
Starting point is 00:05:54 So I'm going to concede on that because now that I think about it, I think it's going to be really cold, potentially windy, potentially high 30s snowy. Yeah, so in the shootout shootout number one, I think that's smart. Two, it's going to be in a dome. And the one thing
Starting point is 00:06:12 I think that the Saints do really, really well right now is rush the passer. And Foles has been very good against just not getting sacked. That's like, I think, the biggest thing that he brings to the Eagles' offense is his ability to avoid sacks and get the ball out quick. So kind of like that.
Starting point is 00:06:28 I'm into that one. There we go. Quarterback, done. That was pretty painless. running backs. I went with Marlon Mac, Damian Williams, and then at Flex because of what I just said about the Patriots, Rex Burkhead. What about y'all? Craig, what did you get? So I shared two of Danny Hyphitz's. I also have Marlon Mack and Damian Williams. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:48 And my other running back is Ezekiel Elliott. I knew I liked you. All right. So I got Camara 8400, Ezekiel Elliott, 8,700, and then Sproles as my flex. I think we could probably agree to go with Elliot. Like we can just put him down. Yeah, he's the highest ceiling, highest floor guy on the field because Gurley and Melvin Gordon are both shaken up and maybe splitting times as C.J. Anderson and Austin Echler.
Starting point is 00:07:12 And Zeke's a lock for 20 carries in a touchdown. Yeah, I mean, like what we said last week, last six games of the season, Elliot had 22 carries 100 plus yards and seven catches a game. And then last week he had 26 carries, 137 yards touchdown, four catches, 32 yards. He's just an absolute belcow. I think we can agree on that.
Starting point is 00:07:30 where you guys are going to have to kind of I think we need to decide between like Kamara and Mack who do you like more why do you like Mac? Tell me what you like about Mac this week. The Chief Defense sucks at Rush Defense and I don't buy the idea that even if the cults fall behind Mac will be useless. I think Mac's going to
Starting point is 00:07:46 get his no matter what and no matter how this game goes. I think he's way safer than it seems I also don't I mean the last time they played the Saints and Eagles played it's very different game but it was basically Mark Ingram's best game of the year or his second best game of the year and it kind of makes me afraid for the price for Camara.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Right. I have a question, so I think we're down with Elliot, and we're down with King Marlon Mac. Yeah. I think way more afraid of Damien Williams because Spencer Ware, we have no idea what his usage will be,
Starting point is 00:08:11 even though I think Williams is more talented. So guys who are probably similar Damien Williams that will run through before we just lock these in. I mean, we've got Sonny Michelle, who I love 6,600, Damien Williams is 61, Rex Burke had at 55, Android and we're talking about...
Starting point is 00:08:26 And we're talking about Flex. Yeah, exactly. It could be wide receiver. So, yeah. I think Echler is an interesting choice too because right now Melvin Gordon still nursing that, what was it, ankle injury? He's been limited at practice.
Starting point is 00:08:40 I don't know if he's going to play. If he does play, there's always injury. Like he'll aggravate it or whatever. Some of us don't hope people get hurt, D.K., geez. The thing with Damien Williams is he has the potential to be the lead running back in the best offense in football. With the highest over-under
Starting point is 00:08:55 and the team who gets the running back overall. gets the ball all the time. Yeah. Then Spencer Ware's been out for a while with a hamstring injury, and he was inactive last week, even though he, on week 17, even though he played or practiced the whole week. So we don't really know if they're going to incorporate him that much.
Starting point is 00:09:11 It almost feels like they've kind of moved on to Damien Williams. Darryl Williams, the backup, got garbage time rushes the last time. Dingman's also just the best player in the field visibly every time you watch. It's like he's making people miss. He's the best receiver. He's the best runner. He should be free down best value in this whole group. He's 10 Red Zone looks in his last three games.
Starting point is 00:09:27 It's a lot. All right. I think we stick with them. All right. So Fole, Zeke, Damian Williams, Mac at Flex, basically. I feel like Mac is going to end up who we cut, actually. We'll circle back. All right, receivers.
Starting point is 00:09:38 I have Michael Thomas, Amori Cooper, and Don Shilloman. Yes, I have Amari Cooper. I did it. Come at me. Fight me. I have Alshon Jeffrey, Golden Tate, and Amari Cooper. Oh, my God. I think we've got it.
Starting point is 00:09:50 We have all different people. I've got Robert Woods, Nelson Aguilar, and Chris Hogan. So we have two people on the Amari Cooper. hide train. All right, we can put him in. Lock him in. I mean, everyone else D.K.'s hated
Starting point is 00:10:01 Mario Cooper this whole year. Don't even try and change that. Fandil still has him to cheat. They still don't respect him. Here's my concern with Robert Woods and I really like Robert Woods, but I mean, he's predominantly kind of, basically, since Cooper Cup got hurt,
Starting point is 00:10:14 largely they moved Robert Woods inside to the slot and then Josh Reynolds's been on the outside and the Cowboys have two pretty good slot corners. Anthony Brown's good in the slot. The Cowboys actually, it's one of their better defensive things. I think the Cowboys, I mean, D.K., you wrote about this, how, like, the Cowboys'
Starting point is 00:10:30 defense versus play action. It's suboptimal, and the Rams run more play action than anybody in the league, and it's one of the most play action heavy offenses ever. That's why I wanted to get a Rams receiver in there. So I'm concerned about the Rams receiver, though, or just whether we can predict it. That's how I feel about the Saints wide receivers. That's why I kind of don't want anyone on the Saints because they spread it around too much. I don't think you can bet on one person. Even Michael Thomas.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Michael Thomas has had a lot of duds. Yeah, I agree. I could be talked off Thomas, especially to Tyreek Hill, which was surprised no one had. He's another guy who can put up four point weeks. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if I want to spend all my money on a guy who can put up four points
Starting point is 00:11:08 when I can honestly get somebody much cheaper with a much higher floor like Alshan Jeffrey, who's had 50 yards or a touchdown each of the past five games. I don't love Alshon J. I mean, that's a guy who kind of, I don't think he matches up as well as the same secondary. So here's this one stat for, The St. Secondary. I think their 30th in DVOA against number one receiver, 31st in DVOA against number two receivers.
Starting point is 00:11:32 So they have struggled. You know, they've cleaned up their defense quite a bit in the second half of the season, but they still have struggled against receivers, especially the top two guys. So that's why I had Agalore on my list. And then we have the full stack with Jeffrey. Yeah, I have Foles Jeffrey and Tate
Starting point is 00:11:48 because I think the Eagles, either it's going to be garbage time or it's going to be a close shootout. and you guys are out on the Rams receivers. Well, it's not that I'm out on the Rams receivers. I just feel the same way by the Saints, right? I don't know who's going to do what. The Saints, I'm more confident that it'll be Michael Thomas
Starting point is 00:12:05 and then other people. I mean, the Saints Eagles, the first round was the Treyquinsmith breakout game, but I agree that it's like, it's trying to guess who they're going to do is Fool's Errant. And I'm not foolish enough to believe I know what Sean Peyton Drew Beers are going to do. I mean, it was the Thanksgiving game where they had all those undrafted dudes who crushed it. I mean, so with the, I mean, so how strongly do you feel in Robert Woods versus just the Rams passing game, DK? I was more bullish just on the entire passing game. So I like Woods, Woods or Cooks.
Starting point is 00:12:31 And they're right in the same range. Woods is 7500. Cooks is 7,400. I don't know, like, if you guys have, I guess, an inkling on who you like more. I don't, we don't need to go with Rams necessarily. But the stat that I was point out, and Bill Barnwell pointed it said, the Cowboys posted a pass rating of 112 against play action this year. which is the six worst in the NFL.
Starting point is 00:12:54 And then Wilson, and this just pisses me off because the Seahawks didn't do it enough, but Wilson torched Dallas on play action last week. He was 9 to 10 for 1111 yards per attempt. They threw deep and they were very effective against it. And I don't think the Rams are going to do what the Seahawks did and just try and run the whole day.
Starting point is 00:13:12 And so, I don't know, that was my argument for either of those guys. I'd like to go with Woods. Woods over Cooks? Yeah. Okay. I was leaning cooks, but not enough to care. Fine. Robert Woods. So, right now we got, what,
Starting point is 00:13:25 Foles, Zeke, Damian Williams, Alshan, Jeffrey, Amari Cooper. No, no, Alshan. We just have Amari Cooper and Robert Woods. Unless we all agreed on Al-Shund. D.K., what do you think about Al-Shone? I like it. I'm into one of those guys, whether it's Jeffrey or Agilor or Tate. I don't know. I don't know. I might want to go cheaper.
Starting point is 00:13:43 Yeah. And we're going to get screwed in the long run. I think it may be safer to go with a guy like Golden Tate, who paid off last week. What about Donchral? Well, because here's the thing. What do you guys think happens in Colts Chiefs? Because here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:13:54 If we think that the Colts game is going to be a shootout, we have Marlon Mac, but if we think it's going to be a lot of passing, we either, I mean, you could throw Ty Hilton in there, could throw Ebron in there at a tight end, but I'm kind of like, if we think there's going to be these passing, Don Trill, so here's my number. Of the Colts snaps last week, there were 78 total. Sorry, 73 total.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Tyoy Hilton played 57, 78%. Don Trill Edmund had a 51. 70% than Chess Rogers at 44. I kind of really love Inman against his Chief's offense because the Chief's defense sucks. I think it's going to be a lot of thing. I think that he's the best, better bang for the buck than Tate just numbers-wise and targets and all those things.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Touchdown, I think, in the last three games, I want to say. Yeah. So, I mean, there's volatility there. But I kind of like that better than Tate, but maybe... I could go for Inman. Yeah. I could too. He's banged up right now. He's limited with a shoulder injury. That's the... That's the big knock there.
Starting point is 00:14:48 They play Saturday. so you could monitor his health and if he doesn't play you could swap him out for somebody else who's playing Sunday sure let's do in. Tentative,
Starting point is 00:14:54 tentative inman. Mm-hmm. All right. Tentidiv. I was going to tie-in. I'm really excited about Tide-A. Yeah. Well, yeah, this changes things for me.
Starting point is 00:15:00 What do we, all right? Who do you got? Highfits. I got Travis Kelsey. Ooh. Danny Kelly? I got, I had Ebron
Starting point is 00:15:08 penciled in here. I don't know if we're going to be able to afford Kelsey at this point. I have Mr. Robert Grankowski. Ooh. Wow. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Explain that to me. Okay, I don't think we are putting enough thought into the difference between the playoff Patriots and the regular season Patriots. This is fair. It's good take. It is absolutely possible that they have been sitting on Gronk for the entire season and just saving him because they knew that they were going to be where they were right now. Gronk's 29. He's not 39. His last three playoff games, he's averaged nine catches for 72 yards in a touchdown. His last three playoff games he's played. The last game he played, nine catches, one 16, two touchdowns in the Super Bowl. and there's an equal I mean he's the fourth most expensive
Starting point is 00:15:49 behind Ebron Kelsey and Ertz and there is an equal gap in pricing between Travis Kelsey and Gronk as there is between Gronk and Hunter Henry he's just too cheap for his ceiling I think you're exactly right on that logic my issue with it is the charges are really well built
Starting point is 00:16:04 to like they're very athletic to stop him I mean if you I mean Darwin James is like a perfect person and this iteration of the Patriots offense without Josh Gordon I mean tell me if I'm wrong I don't know if there's really been a team with a decent defense that has doubled Gronk and not been able to kind of shut down their other guys one-on-one.
Starting point is 00:16:22 So I'm kind of worried, I mean, if I'm the Chargers and they seem to have really good defensive gameplates. If you double him, I don't know who there are other receivers are beating, and that's why I think it'll be more run-heavy. So I'm not convinced that he kind of dominates. And that's a great argument. We talked about this before we started recording about how there is a little bit of a gut feeling how when it comes to Daily Fantasy more than he here.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Do you have the gut on Gras? I'm just, I can wake up on Monday morning and we're like, man, why don't we have three-touch sounds. He had three touchdowns. He's gronk. Of course he had three touchdowns. I don't, you know. I like that logic. I'm going to throw another stat at you guys.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Yeah, please do. This is interesting. Guess which team was number one in DVLA versus tight ends this year? Those charges? Yeah. Who the most. And that's the thing. And the other thing about them playing all those seven defensive backs last week is that it's crazy,
Starting point is 00:17:06 but it's not that crazy because they play six defensive backs the most in football. They led that in 2017. And they're weirdly, they have really physical guys who are, especially Gronk's not that elusive this year but I'm torn but here's I had Kelsey but now that we have fools I would stack him with Ertz actually but we probably can't afford him at that moment. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Wow. I'm intrigued by this Gronk boy. He's coming off a bye, I don't know. I just feel like... What do you think, D.K.? I think I think Gronk is like it's not a logical pick. It's contrarian. How many people are going to be starting
Starting point is 00:17:40 and getting Gronk is a contrarian play is kind of fun to be honest. There's a certain element of this that would be like winning with Gronk would feel better than winning with everyone else. I would admit that. Couldn't you see next week when the Patriots win that Gronk will now be the $200 behind Kelsey? I'll be like, of course he is. I'll admit that it would be more fun to win with Gronk than any other scenario. This is like, Nick Foles and Gronkowski, this is like.
Starting point is 00:18:02 I can be swayed, obviously, the Chargers defense thing is a fantastic point. I was literally going off the fact of like, we're all going to be right about that. We're all going to feel stupid if Grant goes nuts. And we're like, man, he was so cheap. I want the Chargers to win, but I also want Rob Bernkowski for a touchdown. So this is interesting.
Starting point is 00:18:17 But I also kind of just want to trust Patriots fans about this game. Like my elevator pitch on this game is just listen to the fans, which is this team is unathletic and weirdly one dimension without Josh Gordon. The Chargers are versatile and athletic as hell and just really well balanced.
Starting point is 00:18:34 And I just think it's a bad match of them. But you could convince me to do it. It's kind of actively dumb, but I'm kind of in for it. So Blake Jar, when it is. Would you be surprised to find out that Belichick had Gronk play all season with a little rock in his shoe like an actor does so they can barely walk?
Starting point is 00:18:49 And then he just takes it out for the playoffs and he's fucking superman out. Here's what it is. There's a report, a special report from Seth Wickersham last week of January, that they hired Daniel Day Lewis as a character as a consultant to teach Grunk how to pretend to be hobbled and he's actually been training with LeBron's guy.
Starting point is 00:19:08 And he's actually at peak form. They linked to fake lions, Great story. Belichick would do it. All right. Let's plug in Cron for shits and gigs and we'll circle back
Starting point is 00:19:16 and see if we have the money to upgrade to Ebron or someone else. Circling back to defense. On that note, I got the Chargers. I do too. I have the Cowboys
Starting point is 00:19:25 and I just could be swayed so easily. My thing with the Chargers, I mean, Brady looks shook when he gets pass rush in a way that Patriots fans say that they haven't seen basically ever.
Starting point is 00:19:36 I mean, it's the cheapest of the defenses. I don't want the Cowboys, Eagles, or Colts. And it's the cheapest So the other was, I think it's the best bet. Yeah, that's why I want with the Chargers, too, is the Chargers have that sack fumble potential because they're such a good pass-sourcing team.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Melvin Ingram just went off last week. Bosa is the next factor. They've got Derwin James, who is used as a blitzer and just kind of everywhere. They got a couple of all pros in their secondary. I don't know. It just, to me, it just adds up to potential turnovers. Like you said, Brady's been just not quite as sharp as he has been. previous seasons. They don't have as much talent on that offense
Starting point is 00:20:13 either, and so, yeah. I like the Chargers, though, you know, picking against the Patriots at home is always a little bit scary. Nah, screw it. This is the end of the dynasty. Right here. This is the end. Right here. As soon as I ran to we picked Groski. Fun fact, I should believe that, but, you know. Okay, so, here
Starting point is 00:20:29 is our finalized lineup so far. We have Nick Foles, Ezekiel Elliott, Damien Williams, Amari Cooper, Robert Woods, Don Charles Inman, Rob Grunkowski, Marlon Mack, and the Chargers defense. We are $500 over budget. We spent a little too much money.
Starting point is 00:20:45 So, what should we do? I think we should move Marlon Mac to flex and then cut him. And then because he's too expensive. And we should cut him and save money at running back. Because we like Damien Williams value. Yeah. We're not getting rid of Zieg.
Starting point is 00:21:02 And so... That saves us. So he's 7,300. We get rid of him. Now we have 6,800 free at our flex. And there's a lot of good options in the cheaper range. There's Sony Michelle. There's Ebron. two tight ends, there's Mark Ingram. Mike Williams, Eccler. There's a lot of interesting dudes.
Starting point is 00:21:15 So, D.K., what do you think about flex options? So my thought right now is we could either keep Gronk in there at tight end and go with a guy like Sonya Michelle Williams or Ebron. Or we can drop Gronkowski, put Ebron in there, and then find a guy who's like $6,400, which is the Mark Ingram, Echler, Nelson Aguilar, Agilor. range of guys, which I kind of lean towards that because I don't feel great about Michelle. I don't feel great about Mike Williams.
Starting point is 00:21:48 So I think since none of us really felt that great about Grankowski, even though it was kind of a fun pick, I think maybe we drop Gronk and put Ebron in there and then get like a $6,400 guy. Okay, so I just did that. So I dropped Gronk and replaced him with Ebron. Now that gives us $6,400. Isn't the best option on this list, Grunk?
Starting point is 00:22:06 I don't know. It makes me feel better to add Ebron because I believe the Colts are going to be a shootout. and it makes me feel better to have more cults in there after we cut Mac. Okay. It makes me feel better to have M and Ebron. So with these remaining guys,
Starting point is 00:22:17 do you trust Nelson Agler more than Gronk in a playoff game? I don't know how, they're the same price. I think it's pretty close, honestly. I had it here, let me give him my Aguilar pitch because I had him on my list. He's played, the least amount of snaps he's played
Starting point is 00:22:34 over the last four weeks is 90%. He's playing a ton. The Saints again are 31st and DVA, against number two receivers. I think Alshan Jeffrey, you count as their number one. Agalore, his stats last four weeks with Foles at quarterback. Six targets, three catches, 32 yards. Week 17, he had six catches, five, or sorry,
Starting point is 00:22:55 five catches, 40 yards and two touchdowns. The week before that against Houston, five catches 116 yards in a touchdown. And then the week before that, two targets, one catch, eight yards. So he's a little bit boom or bust, definitely. But Gronk is extremely boomer bust also. Yeah, my
Starting point is 00:23:11 my advocation is for playoff, Gronk, which I know is a swing for the fence and is the opposite of analytical. Danny, you can be the tie breaker on this because... Also, I think Echler is interesting. I still love Rex Burkhead, but I don't think I'm going to win. You guys don't want to... There's like 90 of them.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Fair. I'm not going to win this battle. Mark Ingraham is also available, you guys. Mark Ingram could be a really good one. I think Craig just really wants to play gronk Should we do gronk? Should we trust Craig's gut here and just go with this wild gronk? Remember on our last mini-pod introducing DFS?
Starting point is 00:23:50 We talked about how tournaments are all about stars and scrubs. And gronk is kind of somehow both. Yeah. You know what? That's a value. You're getting a star and a scrub. Wow. Look at you, Craig.
Starting point is 00:24:00 That's some serious analysis. Thank you. You know what? That's actually, I kind of like that argument. Just because of my little tagline. I don't like that argument. You know what? You're right.
Starting point is 00:24:10 is a star in a scrub. Thank you. So we're going with Grunk. You know what? I kind of weirdly like this light up. That's good. All right. So who do you guys look at
Starting point is 00:24:22 and when one of these guys just completely screws us? Who's just going to be? Other than Gronk. Who's like a guy. Amari Cooper for sure. Oh, really? No, actually here's actually why
Starting point is 00:24:33 I am not worried about Amari Cooper. I think the Rams are going to score a lot of points and the Cowboys are going to have to the volume. I think he's going to do so much volume. Also, I won't feel that dumb because he's not that expensive. He's a pretty good bet for the money. I'm surprised, actually.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I think he's going to get so much. I kind of think it's Robert Woods. No. Robert Woods is $7,500. He's more expensive than Alshan Cooks, Keenan Allen. I don't have an efficient use of our money in Woods, but... I trust Danny Kelly. I trust Danny Kelly.
Starting point is 00:24:59 All right. Wow. All right. So, I think we're good with this. So we're going to quarterback Nick Foles, running back Ezekiel Elliott, running back Damien Williams, receivers, Don Trill, Enmin,
Starting point is 00:25:10 Amory Cooper, Robert Woods, tight end, Eric Ebron. We are flexing Rob Gronkowski, which a wise man once told me was like wearing flip-flops with jeans. It's frowned upon. Thank you, D.K. Thank you, full-time Craig. Thank you, Jim. Most of all, thank you to everyone for listening.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Best of luck with your lineups. And enjoy the divisional round. See you guys next week.
