 Hey everybody, what's going on? Happy Thanksgiving. I am Greg Susman joined today by Tom Vecchio of FanNul, who's gonna help us break down these Thanksgiving Day games from a DFS perspective. What's happening, Tom? I'm doing good. Happy Thanksgiving to you guys as well. Three games sleep. It's certainly one of my favorite sleeps of the year. Let's jump in. We got plenty to get to. Absolutely. So we're gonna give you three superstars. You gotta get in your lineup and then three undervalued players that's worth taking a shot on. So let's start at the top with the best wide receiver in the NFL. And that is Michael Thomas playing on Thursday night football on Thanksgiving for the second consecutive year. Was it a great game for the Saints against the Falcons last time out? Michael Thomas was of course amazing. Why do you like Thomas as your top player of the day? Yeah, like you said, he is the best receiver in the league. And in that most recent game against Atlanta, they only put up, you know, nine total points, three field goals. He still came away with 21 FanNul points, you know, 14 targets, 13 receptions, 152 yards. And their offense really didn't do a whole lot. We're just locking in about 20 FanNul points regardless of the game script for the Saints. Double digit targets in every week since week four, over a hundred yards in five straight games. And listen, he's the most expensive skill player by almost $1,000. But you just wanna lock in that floor of consistency along with upside if this game does turn into a bit of a shootout. You look at some of the advanced stats for Thomas, he leads the team in everything. Targets, air yards, market share of air yards, total market share. Listen, and when the push comes to shove for the Saints, he has 19 red zone targets and the next closest player only has 10 on the Saints. So just lock in those points and move on. I think we have enough value on the slate to kind of move, you know, jam him in, move on to a few other top stars. You cannot go wrong with Michael Thomas on any slate. Even when the Saints does score, he scores. Which is why he's locked and loaded. You know our lineups on Thanksgiving Day. Another player that's been beating a ton of Turkey and scoring a ton of points, the Cowboys to ZQLA. He got back on track last week, Tom. I know a lot of people have called ZQLA a bit of a disappointment this year. Not in DFS, not on Thanksgiving. Zeke against the bills of someone you're targeting tomorrow. Yeah, like you said, if there's any time for the Cowboys to feed Zeke, I guess it's gonna be on Thanksgiving and you look at the bills defense and they're a bit of a run funnel where they're actually really, really good against the pass, allowing the fifth fewest fan to points per game to wide receivers. And they're really average against the running backs, allowing 21.3 fan to points per game. That is 15th only. They are very average. We have the Cowboys coming in as a home favorites. They're gonna be feeding Zeke all day, get ahead and then just give him the ball. You know, we don't have to be worried about a time share for him. Everyone, you know in the preseason and talking about, you know, Pollard, but Zeke is still playing over 80% of the snaps. The second highest team total on the board sitting at 26 with a six and a half point spread in favor of the Cowboys and even by some chance, if they do fall back, we know that he's been more involved in the passing game as of late, four, three, three targets over the past three. He's been up at seven in some games. He's just that safe option you want in your lineups this week. Whether you're entering your lineup tomorrow or Thursday on Thanksgiving or today, it doesn't matter. Zeke should be in there. He's gonna eat, feed him the ball and have a lot of success for the Cowboys and inside your fan to lineups. Up next for us here, Tom, we get to Julio Jones. Look, banged up coming out of last week's contest. Short week here, spent some of the time during this contest against the Bucks in the locker room. You have no fear against the Saints on Thursday night. No, and I think a lot of people are gonna be deciding, you know, can we go to Julio or Michael Thomas? I think it's viable to get both of them in your lineup and, you know, the injury concerns we do have to monitor as the week goes on. And a lot of people are gonna say, oh, he's gonna be seeing, you know, Marshawn Latimore for the Saints. But we look back at this, you know, the previous time they played a few weeks ago, nine targets, three receptions isn't great, but 79 yards on those three receptions is pretty solid. We look back to last year, he had 147 yards, 96 yards and 16 total receptions in those two games versus the Saints last year. He has eight or more targets in six straight weeks and people are gonna be saying, oh, you know, we have Calvin Ridley, we have Russell Gage even taking a step forward, but their targets and production, more importantly on those targets, are more variable compared to Julio Jones. And we should be seeing the Falcons playing from behind, which just means more passing for them overall. So I like Jones this week, I like Michael Thomas this week, I like them in the same lineup this week. Why choose one over the other when you could get both in there? That's what Tom Becchio is doing. So you should be doing as well and we'll tell you just how to do it right now. Because there's plenty of undervalued players that you can get into your lineup and it starts in this same game with Trayquan Smith. You have Smith on the other side of Michael Thomas. He is cheap. He's been targeted by Drew Brees quite a bit recently. There's someone to consider here, Tom. Yeah, like you said, he is cheap. He is $4,500. That is the absolute minimum price point for a wide receiver. And if we're expecting this game to have some scoring, which we are the highest over on the board is sitting at 49 and a half. You know, more of the production should come from besides Thomas, besides Camara. We want a game stack scenario. And we know Trayquan Smith missed a ton of time due to injury, but he's come back in the past three weeks, 83, 60, and 71% of the snaps in the past three weeks, which is really solid. You know, he had a touchdown last week. He is being out targeted compared to Ted Gin, but Ted Gin is playing fewer snaps compared to Trayquan Smith. So it's his trade-off. Okay, Ted Gin's a little bit more expensive. He may have a bigger role in the offense, but Trayquan Smith is cheaper and he's playing more snaps. So why don't we take the cheaper guy which allows us to get to Julio Jones, allows us to get to Michael Thomas and go for that game stack perspective and the highest total over on the game on the sleep. Clearly the highest total on the board and you need to stack this game. Trayquan Smith at this price is $4,500. Well, why can't he get in the end zone? You gotta expect this game to be higher scoring. And the last time these two teams played, hopefully that means a lot of fantasy points all those Saints and Falcons you put into your lineup. Up next, we lost Tom. We go over to Anthony Miller with the Chicago Bears first bear that makes our lineup here this week. These numbers have been trending up as well, but Taylor Gabriel's injury has to serve as a one of the major reasons you wanna get Miller in your lineup. Absolutely, Taylor Gabriel dealing with concussion. It's a short week. Will he be cleared? Won't he? That's something we really, really need to monitor. And with a 38 and a half over under and it being an early game, I know a lot of people will be trying to limit their exposure to this game. And if you are, I think that the one of the players you wanna have is Anthony Miller. We know that the Lions defense is not good against wide receivers specifically allowing the 12th most vandal points per game at 30.4. We know that Darius Slay is likely gonna be on Allen Robinson and that wants me to go do Anthony Miller who has 20 targets over the past two games. He's finishing second and third in snaps over the past two games and we have to account for Taylor Gabriel missing some time last week. But if that again continues to be the trend, Miller at $5,400 is going to see plenty of action in this week's contest. He's doing it all the action he can handle. The question is, can Mitchell Trubisky get in the ball? This game between the Lions and the Bears is not exactly exciting. It's NFC North Snoozer. But for our fantasy purposes, Anthony Miller, maybe someone that is cheap and get you some points allowing you to get Julio Jones, Michael Thomas and some more studs in your lineup. One last player that you wanna consider and he is an undervalued player, Jason Witton. It's not exactly exciting. It's a tight end. But when you look at this slate of tight ends, none of them are exciting. Jason Witton's cheap and he may be the obvious choice. It's a lethal combination here, Tom. Yeah, and Jared Cook is probably the best option at tight end. I mean, we're not dealing with a lot. Tight end is usually one of the lower outcome positions anyway. But he has the fourth most targets on the Cowboys. He has four or more targets in every single game this season. He's number one in red zone targets for the Cowboys and both of his touchdowns this year have come from the red zone. He also hasn't scored since week two. So if we're looking for a little bit of positive touchdown regression, it could be on Jason Witton. And if people are going up to cook, a lot of people will drop down to even Jadon Graham for Atlanta has been seeing some good snaps over 50% in the past two weeks. Even Dawson Knox is cheap for the bills. If people are gonna be going all the way down or all the way up to Jared Cook, Witton falls in this middle ground and you make the dad runner jokes about him. He's not the most exciting player to roster but the red zone targets are what's important. And we're gonna be looking at a higher scoring total for the Cowboys specifically. Not necessarily the game, but the total for the Cowboys is enticing at 26 this week. Cowboys and Bills, the prime time game before we get to the main event. During dinner, you'll enjoy it with hopefully Jason Witton finding the end zone. He's done it before on Thanksgiving. Hopefully he can do it again. That's gonna do it for us here on The Fan. A little hurry of time. I appreciate the time and welcome back, man. Thanks for having me. You know, three games late. Everyone enjoy that. Eat all day and watch some football. Tomorrow, Jim Sonos will join me as we take a look at Sunday's games and we'll see you tomorrow with Jim Sonos. I'm a fan. Do a hurry up.
