 Hey everybody, what's going on? I am Greg Salsman joined today by Jim Sonnis of Fandle who's here to break down week 15 and the top stacks on the board in DFS. What's going on Jim? I'm in a good mood Greg because we get Drew Brees back as a starter for the New Orleans Saints Which means we actually have a traditional game to stack on this way We got two high-profile offenses that should be pretty competitive throughout so like I'm just in a good mood You know, I got some vacation coming up because of the holidays. So like what could go wrong? I'm in a good spot here How are you? I have no vacation coming up. I'm back in snow in New York and Things are great. So let's just move on from there And let's begin with that top game on the week It's New Orleans Saints and the Kansas and you cheese ready calling it a preview perhaps over the Super Bowl That may be true because Drew Brees is back for the New Orleans Saints cleared by team doctors and Cleared by coach Sean Payton to start for the Saints, which is good news For the Kansas City Chiefs stack of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey Yeah, it definitely is and if you're new to DFS the rationale here is we want to use offenses in high-scoring games And the odds of this game is high-scoring are higher with Drew Brees out there for a couple of reasons The first one is that Drew Brees is more efficient than Taysom Hill But also because they are less run heavy when Drew Brees is a quarterback They're only down first half pass rate is 55% of Drew Brees compared to 45% with Taysom Hill So this is a massive upgrade for the Saints Which means it's an upgrade for the Chiefs if we think this game will be competitive and high-scoring throughout That's why I'm gonna go with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey is my first stack and Kelsey over hill is a tough call I like both a lot and I'm gonna use both for sure But with Travis Kelsey the edge you get relative to his positions is just so hard to pass up If you look at 20-point fan dual games this year Travis Kelsey has hit that benchmark six separate times The only pass catcher I said pass catcher not tight end who has done so more than that is Devonte Adams Travis Kelsey has more 20-point games entirely killed by one He is more than every tight end by double Darren Waller has three Kelsey has six It's just such a massive leg up on everybody else I want Travis Kelsey out there quite a bit We saw Darren Waller do work against the Saints defense earlier in the year And I would expect Kelsey to do the same here Patrick Mahomes sure it's a tough matchup, but That doesn't really matter for him He's had six separate games against top 10 past defenses so far this year and his his passing efficiency is relatively even He had 31 fatal points in one he had 40 in another against a tougher defense He gets to play inside so I honestly don't care about matchups with the Chiefs Like you just use them if they are in a competitive game and honestly They're not in a competitive game too, but like this is the most competitive game They may have until the Super Bowl so I want to load up on the Chiefs here run it back with Alvin Camara or Michael Thomas and just let the rest of the lineup do what he needs to do because they are worth Prioritizing when they're in a game this juicy Making sure you have Travis Kelsey locked up with Patrick Mahomes It's a way to win certainly on Sunday Because you're getting this competitive matchup and we know that at times It seems like the Chiefs are kind of toying with their opponents and maybe not going all out In a game that's going to be competitive in a dome in like I said a preview potentially of the Super Bowl They're gonna go all out and you're gonna get a lot of Travis Kelsey with Patrick Mahomes That is a matchup the long-awaited penalty commitment to certainly a stack. We're putting in there Next act on the board. Well, it's a classic that we've used throughout the year. It's Tom Brady paired up with Mike Evans It's been Tom Brady's favorite red zone target has been Mike Evans There's games where he has zero catches outside of two inside the one yard line for a touchdown and hopefully we get more This week without it's something we've been able to count on I know you don't want necessarily rely on touchdowns with Mike Evans You kind of can yeah, you can and I think that the yardage upside is there too We've not seen it from Mike Evans with Tom Brady He's yet to get a hundred yards in the games since Antonio Brown joined this team But the building blocks for a 100 yard game are there especially in a game that profiles pretty well for DFS The Buccaneers are playing indoors. I will always take that all three stacks here or indoors this week Probably sends a theme there, but they're also facing the league's 23rd ranked past defense The Falcons have been better recently, but they're still not a good defense This is just the second time the Buccaneers have faced a bottom half past defense since Antonio Brown joined the fold And the first time they did Brady went for 31 fando points against the Carolina Panthers And I think we could see a pretty similar output here The Falcons encourage you to throw the ball against them because the rush defense is very good Their past defense is not and also with no Ronald Jones this week We could see the Buccaneers be a bit more past happy than they would be otherwise So I think that's why we can talk ourselves into Tom Brady paired with a good matchup And he talked about the Red Zone role for Mike Evans He's also getting deep work He has 34% of the team's deep targets since Antonio Brown joined the team A little bit of an injury scare last week, but now he is over that I'm writing off week 14 for the Bucs because they ran just 49 offensive plays in that game It's hard for anyone to do work in that scenario. They're not going to run 49 plays I hope in week 15 as well So I think it's a good week to go back to the well Did not work out last week when I wanted to go with Tom Brady But I think it could hear in a game where they're playing indoors against an offense That should be able to score at least some points even with Julio Jones likely out So I think the Bucs good to go back to this week burned us last week But why not give it one more shot and see if we can benefit this time around Well, we better benefit Jim if we're putting these guys in our lineup once again The Atlanta defense like you said, they've been better since Dan Quinn was fired Rahim Morris has his team playing better overall They're not good and that's kind of a misnomer here and playing indoors Getting Tom Brady trying to get right for the playoffs and get ready for it Pair up with Mike Evans this week Hopefully it is that first time he goes over 100 yards Finds the end zone like he has been and the combination works for us on Sunday One last stack to get to and that's one that well, we've done with Kyla Murray a lot But apparently Kenny Drake isn't something we've done all that recently And another game indoors they're facing off against the Eagles The Eagles team that obviously played better last week beat the New Orleans Saints Out of nowhere and he hopes to match up He is closer because of Jalen Hurts and Kyla Murray Pair with Kenny Drake is somebody as somebody that finds the end zone quite often And it definitely receives the carries inside the five Something worth at least discussing here Especially because Deondre Hopkins hasn't been the same guy for the second half of the year He hasn't been nearly as reliable as he was earlier on Yeah, you touched on the key point here, Greg Touchdown equity between these two guys between Kyla Murray and Kenny Drake We know it with Kyla because he's so dynamic He's a good passer or it can be a good passer And he runs a lot in the red zone too But Kenny Drake, his red zone role is phenomenal Since he returned from his injury, he has 45% of the team's red zone carries or targets That is if it were his full season number it'd be the best number on the main slate for Sunday So he's had a massive red zone role He's converting the red zone and he's still getting chances Despite the fact he tends to fumble more than he would hope We can like Kenny Drake regardless of whether or not Chase Edmonds goes Now Chase Edmonds has practiced on Wednesday and Thursday Obviously if Edmonds can't go, Kenny Drake becomes kind of in that same tier of a play with Jonathan Taylor and David Montgomery As being a really good target in the mid-range on Fandle But the touchdown equity will be there whether Edmonds plays or not Which is why I feel comfortable doing this Despite the fact we don't know if Edmonds will play So Kenny and Drake I think is a good guy to pair with Kyla Murray Because the red zone opportunity should be there Now you don't have to pair Kyla Murray with Kenny and Drake I do think you can go Deandre Hopkins Despite the fact that the productivity has been kind of up and down Christian Kirk has had a really bad role recently But he's $5,300 and has a path to upside So you could go there too But also you can run Kyla Murray by himself Because last week he ran the ball 13 times After running it 15 times the previous three games combined So Kyla I think is back from a DFS perspective His salary is down about $1,000 from its peak And I think it's a good time to buy back in This Eagle Secondary is super banged up So I want Kyla Murray for sure I think he had options for stacking But one I want to make sure does not go overlooked Is Kyla Murray paired with Kenny and Drake Trying to gobble up all the touchdowns this team could score I think it's an interesting point you hit on there Jim That you don't need to pair Kyla Murray up with anybody Potentially here in a Cardinal stack Because Kyla Murray does so much on his own But if you want that touchdown equity Having Kyla and Kenny and Drake pretty much guarantees you get all Of those Cardinal touchdowns And I think it's something that is at least worth Considering here on Sunday in a matchup That hopefully will be back and forth a little bit And a lot for a lot of points And a lot of rushing yards for Kyla Murray And for Kenny and Drake That's going to be for us here all the fans In the little hurry up Jim I am ready for week 15 Thanks so much Thank you Greg should be a fun one Looking forward to it And looking forward to breaking it all down With you again next week on Monday Absolutely Jim and for those of us That are trying to get our fantasy championship Not me, good luck And for those of us that are out Well we'll just try to win a little bit of money in DFS For Jim Sannis I'm Greg Salsman Thanks so much for watching Enjoy the games this weekend And we'll see you back here on Monday For another edition The Fan Deloria
