 Hey everybody, what's going on? I am Greg Sussman joined today by Tom Vecchio of FanDuel as we take a look at the top stars on the DFS fleet for week number nine. What's going on Tom? I'm doing good. I can't believe the season's you know halfway over. We have 11 games so let's hop in. The season is halfway over and one of the breakout stars of this first half it's been Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers. Pressing to duty here when Tyrone Taylor suffered the unfortunate injury pregame. Well Herbert stepped in and he hasn't looked back. This week he's priced at $7,900 for the Chargers and although they're still the same little Chargers losing at the buzzer constantly. Herbert's been fantastic in my DFS perspective and we expect more of the same here this weekend. Absolutely and you know I kind of like the fact that their defense is collapsing you know might be tough on their fans but from a fantasy perspective it's actually pretty good because we know that the you know passing environment will always be there for him and it's not like going to be constantly running the ball and speaking of passing he has 43 passing attempts or more in three of his past six or three of his only six games in the NFL. We have a solid over-under against the Raiders sitting at 54. The Raiders allowing 21.2 fan two points per game to opposing quarterbacks that's the ninth works in the league. We know that Herbert has the ability to get the ball deep and really rack up the touchdowns. He has three touchdowns or more in five of his six excuse me he has three touchdowns or more in four straight weeks and 23 fan two points or more in five of six starts. There's a lot going on here right we don't care about the defense we care about all the passing all the touchdowns and really all the fantasy points for Herbert. Herbert's been an absolute beast over the last month since stepping in that starting role as I said he hasn't looked back and we don't expect that to change certainly this weekend. Herbert in a great spot so let's keep riding with him. Moving on to the running back position James Connor and his Steelers are undefeated they'll go for their best start ever if they can win this weekend. Now we don't necessarily care about the record but we do care about the Steelers offense that has run through James Connor really ever since week two eighty two hundred dollars for James Connor here this Sunday why is he your favorite running back star on the slate. Yeah Connor's one of the players I really haven't been on it too many times this season but this spot just sets up it too good from the pass up they're on the road they're up against Dallas we see the Steelers with a 29 applied team total on the road but really there's no reason they shouldn't be controlling this game we have seen you know Connor really be the bell cow back for the Steelers he comes with 18 total touches or more in six of his seven games this season he can get it done on the ground he can get it done a little bit in the air we know Dallas is terrible on defense against running backs they've actually allowed the most rushing yards to opposing running backs this season and they're allowing 23.1 fatal points per game to opposing running backs so it doesn't matter that they're on the road I would love for them to be at home but really the Dallas defense is what we want to attack. Connor hasn't been one of your mainstays here that we've talked about all that much but with the running attack of Pittsburgh being so good even though they're on the road it's worth going to here in this spot eighty two hundred dollars for James Connor this Sunday. One more player to get to is at the wide receiver spot and it's Stefan Diggs on the Buffalo Bills a Bills team that has certainly struggled over the past month in general Diggs is priced at seventy six hundred dollars why is this the week that Josh Allen spawned Diggs you're really going to get it back on track. I certainly hope so that this is the week they get back on track you know they had a couple tough games last week it was the weather it was this that all these different factors but this week an amazing spot going up against Seattle this is a recurring theme you know a couple weeks ago we want to attack Seattle with Hopkins and Kirk last week it was Brandon IU who had 19.1 fatal points he was on values last week now we have Diggs who leads the Bills and targets sitting up at 81 and the player in second Cole Beasley isn't even closest sitting at 50 we know that Seattle is just absolutely terrible against wide receivers this year allowing 47.0 theta points per game to opposing wide receivers we have a 54 over under this is kind of shaping up to be a bit of a shootout we shouldn't have any weather issues we have you know a weak defense on the side of Seattle with the deep ball threat from Diggs everything's lining up for him this week. If the weather is right for the Buffalo Bills the matchup certainly is and hopefully things will get a bit better for Josh Allen and Stephan Diggs who you were able to rely on over the first couple of weeks had a bit of a setback a couple of stumbling blocks here with the schedule and the weather this week is the week with all changes we hope that's going to do it for us here the fans will hurry up but we're not done filling out our DFS lineups Tom and I will be back on Thursday to go over the top value plays on the board can't wait to see that Tom absolutely talk to you then but before we get back to Tom let's talk to Megan you need us tomorrow as we'll go over her favorite bets for week number nine for time back you out I'm Greg Salsman thanks so much for watching have a great night and I'll see you back here tomorrow for another edition the fan to hurry up
