 Hey everyone, what's going on? I am Greg Sussman joined today by Jim Sanez, who's here to take a look at DFS for week number 15. What's happening, Jim? I am all good, Greg. There are a couple of games on this slate for week 15 that look pretty enticing, and we can stack up both sides, and that's the way I want to play DFS in tournaments, so I am pretty pumped about that. How are you doing today? Outside of desperately needing a haircut? Feeling good, man. I'm excited to get into week 15. Excited to make some money. Excited to do it with you, Jim. I used to understand the need for a haircut, and for some reason I no longer have that need. I can't quite put my finger on why, but for some reason I don't have that need. But I, old Jim, understand your struggle right now, and I am with you here to help you through that struggle. Winning money will get me through the struggle, so I appreciate it, and that's what you're here for. So let's begin in Kansas City, where Patrick Mahomes, Tyree Kill, and the bunch defeated the New England Patriots this past Sunday. This week, the matchup gets a bit easier, division rival Denver Broncos. You start off our stacks this week, pairing up the quarterback despite battling a hand injury with Tyree Kill. How come? Yeah, I think watching that game for Patrick Mahomes, there was still a lot to zip on his passes after that hand injury. He didn't play that well, but, you know, against the pads defense in Foxboro, you don't really expect a whole lot out of them. So I'm personally willing to overlook it, Andy Reed says it's good to go, so I'm willing to go back to the Chiefs here. And I think that interestingly enough, the play of Drew Lock makes the Chiefs more appealing here, because Lock has been competent, and that's going to be tough this week going on the road to face the Chiefs. But if he can score some points, that's going to force the Chiefs to keep their foot on the pedal, which is good for Patrick Mahomes, and also good for Tyree Kill. Drew Lock playing well is actually beneficial for this passing offense here, and when I'm going at this passing offense to me, it's just a time where we're waiting for Tyree Kill to have a freak out game, which could happen this weekend, because his market shares recently have been nuts. They have had only three games so far this year, in which all of Sammy Watkins, Tyree Kill, Travis Kelsey, and Patrick Mahomes have been healthy. But in those three games, Tyree Kill has 30% of the team's targets, he has 12 of 22 deep targets, and despite that insane usage, because they've had some weird spots, they've had some wind, some bad matchups, his salary is back down to $7,900. I think that's very advantageous for this spot. If the wind goes back up like it was for the Oakland game, then maybe you want to pedal back. Overall, if we get Tyree Kill in a really attractive spot, I think he is on the verge of a huge game, and if he does blow up, it'll be with Patrick Mahomes coming along with him. So I think this is a good spot to go at this Chief's offense. Again, I think that Drew Lock is starting for this game, really does help them. And I think that this Chief's team is on the verge of a blow up. Given what we've seen from them recently, and given the use of Tyree Kill, that could be this weekend. So I want to go here. I want to buy into this Chief's offense before they get fully healthy and before they have that big game and remind us of how good they can be. And I think there's a chance it could be this weekend against Denver. As a season-long fantasy owner of Tyree Kill, I'm with you, man. Let's get that. Let's get them back on schedule here. More touchdowns for Tyree Kill, more yards as well. Against Denver, a fine spot for the two of them to go off. As you said, Patrick Mahomes, which is fine. Looked all right. The Zip was still there, and hopefully it will be there obviously on Sunday, specifically to Tyree Kill. Moving on from the Kansas City Chief's, we get to the Los Angeles Rams where, hey, Jared Goff to Robert Woods is a connection that has been working. As Cooper Cupp has seen more time on the bench, Robert Woods finally got into the end zone through the air. A monstrous outing coming off a monstrous three weeks of outings. Jared Goff to Robert Woods has been a winnable combination for fantasy owners recently. Yeah, and I expect that to continue this weekend, because this game is, I think, the best game on the site. It involves the teams that are ranked third and fourth in situation neutral pace according to football outsiders, and we want to stack games that are high-paced like that. The Cowboys offense really good at home, and this Rams offense is good when they're not facing elite defense. This will be just the third or the fifth time this year that the Rams have faced a team in the bottom half of the league in past defense based on Number Fires metrics, as the Cowboys are 20th there, and when they face those teams, Jared Goff has been very good. Now, you could mention the road Jared Goff narrative here, because traditionally he doesn't do as well on the road, but Goff's four best games this year by passing that expected points have all come outside of Los Angeles. One was in London, the other three were all on the road. So going to Jerry's World playing indoors, I think it's a pretty good spot to go at Jared Goff, and the most logical stacking guy with him right now, as you said, is Robert Woods in the past three games. Since he came back from that game missed due to a personal issue, Woods has 34% of the team's targets. He's had at least 95 receiving yards and four consecutive games, and Robert Woods has made a perfect fan dual line of twice this year despite not scoring a touchdown in either of those games. So he doesn't need a touchdown to pay off because the yardage upside is so good and he gets so many receptions. This guy's kind of a very unique case or fantasy. He has $7,500 and I want to go at Woods here. I think that you could go at Tyler Higbee too if Gerald ever can't go. It's just kind of hard to trust Brandon Cooks and Cooper Cup, given the snap rates that they had in week 14. So I'm going to take the path of least resistance here, go with Robert Woods. I think that Higbee is in play too, and I also wouldn't mind stacking Jared Goff with Todd Gurley if you decide you want to go there as well. Jared Goff's the key for the Los Angeles Rams in DFS lineups, and I thought the stat you just gave was awesome. Jim Robert Woods, part of two perfect lineups here thus far this year, and he only scored a touchdown receiving once last week. So it's crazy how good he has been for fantasy despite not getting in the end zone. Now he's getting into the end zone and it could be even better. Jared Goff paired with Robert Woods or Todd Gurley who, Sean McVeigh, really making an effort to get the ball more to you makes a lot of sense as Cooper Cup kind of fades away a little bit in this offense. The Dallas Cowboys last week, it was a performance to forget against the Chicago Barriers, but for all the fantasy players in this game, it worked out including for the Cowboys with Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Ezekiel Elliott, and yes, Dak Prescott. This week, you go back to the well with the Dallas Cowboys specifically with Prescott and Gallup. Why Gallup over Cooper? I think the matchup here is pretty tough for Amari Cooper squaring off of Jalen Ramsey. Now Amari Cooper is good enough to beat any individual matchup, so I'm not saying you can't use Amari Cooper, but I'm also okay taking the easy way out here and going with Michael Gallup. If you look at the game since their bi-week, Michael Gallup actually does lead this team in targets. Now Amari Cooper has been kind of banged up in that time, so it's worth noting that, but Gallup's been getting a lot of looks and he's been good when he has gotten that volume too. So I like Michael Gallup quite a bit here and the reason I'm into this Cowboys offense in general, despite the fact the Rams have been playing well with Jalen Ramsey outside of that Ravens game, is that they're at home and this Cowboys offense is disgusting. If you look at the games since the Amari Cooper trade last year, Dak Prescott averages 8.8 passing yards per attempted home compared to 7.4 on the road. That is a massive, massive difference. Dak is still been good on the road. Don't get me wrong there, but when he's at home, he's kind of super human. We also get Dak where he will run quite a bit in the red zone. They should have some scoring chances here because they are at home in what projects be a very high scoring game. And I don't think a lot of people will go Dak Prescott's way, given the negativity around the Cowboys right now and given the fact that people did just see this Rams defense play really well against Russell Wilson on Sunday nights. I think there are a lot of factors here that should help push the interest in Dak Prescott down, but I think he makes sense. Whenever Dak Prescott is at home, regardless of what the matchup may be, this is a guy you want to target. I think that he should go overlooked here. You can pair with Michael Gallup. I think that's a pretty high octane stack this weekend. I think that again, I do want to reiterate, Amari Cooper is still in play. You can stack Dak with Zeke Elliott as well, but I think that the best way to do so here if you have one line up is stacking Dak Prescott with Michael Gallup. Certainly an option here against the Rams for Michael Gallup and Dak Prescott. We'll see if they can be the high scoring team that you've seen in the past or they struggle as we've also seen, right? An inability to really score in that first half outside of Zeke Elliott, outside of that first scripted drive. We'll see which Dallas team we get on Sunday between the Rams and the Cowboys should be a good one, a high scoring affair, no doubt. Up next, we get to the Cleveland Browns and certainly not Odell Beckham Jr. who Baker Mayfield said isn't healthy and our medical team screwed up. That's typical Baker. Instead of targeting Odell Beckham, he's been targeting his favorite wide receiver, Jarvis Landry. Jim, you and I have talked about how Baker's favorite target isn't OBJ. It's clearly Landry. That's proven week after week after week in this matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. People have spoken about David N'Joku as someone to target. You're going with Jarvis Landry paired up with his quarterback. How come? Yeah, the users for Jarvis Landry is just kind of just too good for me to ignore at this point because the sample on this Browns team since Kareem Hunt made his debut, which is kind of the tipping point here for this Browns team, is getting larger and larger and Jarvis Landry's role within it just keeps getting solidified as being legitimate. He has 31% of the team's targets in those games since Kareem Hunt's debut and 44% of the deep targets. We don't think of Jarvis Landry as being this deep threat, but in this Freddie Kitchen's offense in 2019, he has been exactly that. He actually has more targets and more deep targets than Beckham in this time. I something that Beckham is in play because we've seen him have good games against the Dolphins and this Cardinals pass defense is atrocious. They rank 31st against the pass based on number of fires metrics. They slowed things down a bit more recently, but I think we could see them speed things back up this weekend against a lesser Browns defense. So I do think that Beckham is still an option, just not for cash gains. If you want to go here and cash gains, it is Jarvis Landry and Landry is straight up the better play for tournaments as well. So I do want to go at him at $7,400 and that defense, that bad pass defense and that pace is what pushes me towards Baker Mayfield as well. Again, 31st against the pass. He gets to play indoors this weekend after dealing with some wind last weekend. So I think it's a good spot to buy back into the Browns. I like both sides of this game. I think it's a pretty fun game overall. And I think that the most logical route here is Baker Mayfield paired with Jarvis Landry. And even if you're not stacking Baker, I would try to get Jarvis Landry in your lineups then too. Alright, fair enough. The options are there for you with Cleveland. Jarvis Landry, the must play, cash games, tournaments, what have you. He's the guy you want to go with, pairing him up with Baker Mayfield who's been obviously inconsistent, certainly makes sense. If you want to stack another game, we expect to be high scoring. And it's going to be high scoring, Jim, not just on one side, right? It's with Cleveland and it's with Arizona. That's up next and that's Kyler Murray and Christian Kirk. I was thinking about Christian Kirk earlier this week as someone in season long leagues who I feel like everyone's going to be on top of next year. They think we got a little bit of a breakout this year. The massive one's going to come next year. This matchup against Cleveland, which as I said, we expect to be high scoring. Getting you on the Christian Kirk game starts now. Absolutely agree, Greg, because the usage of Christian Kirk has been really, really good recently. We're looking specifically here at the time since Kenny and Drake joined this team and got the team another legitimate pass catcher. And in that time, Christian Kirk has 25% of the Cardinals overall targets and 36% of the deep targets. So not quite as good usage as we've seen out of Jarvis Landry, but still very good and he is very clearly the top option in this offense. And I think that's why we've seen the Cardinals struggle at times recently because they faced some good individual cornerbacks and when Christian Kirk can't get open, this offense has a lot of difficulties moving the football, but I think they should be able to get open this weekend despite the fact that Browns do have some pretty good corners and that bodes well for Christian Kirk at $6,100. The reason I like Kyler Murray here is that the Browns are missing a lot of pieces here. There is no Miles Garrett. There is no Morgan Burnett. And we've seen the effects of that. They're past a couple of games. Teens been able to move the ball on them, even though they've been bad all year. Kyler Murray, yeah, his past two games have not been good, but they faced really good teams. This will be the first time that Kyler has faced a pass defense ranked outside the top 12 since week 10. In that game, he had 27.76 fan dual points. He is further removed from that hamstring injury. Now it should bode well for him too. So I think it's kind of arrows up here on this Cardinals team. If you can't quite afford Jarvis, Slandry and Baker Mayfield, you can pay down, still get exposure to this game, and stack the other side with Kyler Murray and Christian Kirk. Kirk at $6,100, I think, just has the usage where you kind of want to jam this guy in. And I think that it makes a lot of sense to pair him with Kyler Murray too. Just kind of the no-brainer guys on this team. It's a lot of murkiness elsewhere, but you know what you're going to get with Kyler Murray and Christian Kirk, and that is a lot of volume. And I think in this matchup, some good efficiency too. A lot of volume with efficiency. It's a combination that we want. The usage for Christian Kirk has been outrageous recently. I know Kyler Murray has struggled this week against Cleveland. It could be a get-right spot. It's a stack that I don't expect many people to go with, but it's a good stack here with Arizona as fast-paced as they are. Give me Christian Kirk, give me Kyler Murray, and a surprise stack in tournaments. You want to talk about surprise stacks. That's where our last one is here, Jim, and that brings us to New York Giants, where they've obviously struggled this year. We saw on Monday night those struggles, but you're going to a stack with them here against the Miami Dolphins. You're choosing to go to Saquon Barkley, who's underwhelmed truly all season long. And then the Giants defense, that's just straight up terrible. Now I get it. They're facing the Dolphins and Ryan Fitzpatrick, but I know your strategy. You pair up a running back with the defense in a game that you expect the team to dominate, but what are we doing here? I mean, if you don't want to use them, well, that's totally fine by me because they're $3,900, Greg, at home facing the Dolphins. The Dolphins may not have Devontae Parker for this game. I think that you can use them no matter what, but if Devontae Parker can't go, this Giants defense becomes even more attractive because the Dolphins offense, you know, they've been better recently, but they're still a team we can target because Ryan Fitzpatrick prone to blow-ups, not the most conservative quarterback by any means, which we will certainly take from a defensive perspective. I think that sets up well for Saquon Barkley, too, because even though the output has not been there, the volume has been. He has averaged 17.7 carries per game since their bye week, along with 4.7 targets. He just hasn't been efficient, but you can expect better efficiency against this Dolphins defense. They ranked 32nd against the pass and 25th against the rush based on number of fires metrics, and we're getting a guy with good usage at home in a great matchup for $8,300. I think that bodes really well for Saquon Barkley this weekend, and I think people will go here. I think that they will overlook the box score and go to Saquon because of the matchup, but I don't care all that much when I'm getting a high usage back at home in a spot like this, and I think pairing in with the Giants defense at $3,900 makes a lot of sense. Yeah, they are bad, but so is the Dolphins offense, especially if they don't have their playmaker, Devontae Parker, out there. So I will go at the stack. Greg, I understand if you are not convinced that is totally okay, but hey, it's just lower ownership for me. Good for you, man. Get the low ownership, but I am not jumping in on this Giants stack. Maybe I'm a homer, and that's fine, but I know how bad this defense is. I don't care if Devontae Parker is not there. You got Albert Wilson. You got Isaiah Ford, and you got Allen Hearns. That's enough for me to not pick the Giants. Make a second, too. I'm good on this stack. It's all yours, Jim. When you win a million, just split with your buddy. That's going to do it for us here on The Fan. No hurry up, Jim. It's been a blast. Let's do it again tomorrow. Absolutely, and I promise there will be no talk of the Giants defense there. So maybe on the other side, maybe we'll talk about the Dolphins there instead. You can bash the Giants defense then, but I appreciate it, Greg, and we'll talk to you then. Oh, I'm excited to talk about the Dolphins. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Patrick Laird, and the rest of this Dolphins crew. So for Jim Sannes, I am Greg Sussman. Thank you so much. Check out The Fan. We'll see you back here tomorrow.
