Week 1 Matchups + Clyde Debuts, In-or-Out - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/11

Yes, this year we are very excited to be partnered with Monkey Knife Fight. You can get some DFS. You know, it's a little bit of extra action going on on the weekends to pair perfectly with your season, your redraft, your dynasty leagues. What I love so much about Monkey Knife Fight is it's not just, you know, trying to set the lineup with the budgeted guys. I have the salary. The sharks out. Yeah, like that's tough stuff. But.

You know what? We know how to do. We know how to play fantasy football. We know how to make a projection for a player. And you can go on a monkey knife fight and you can play props. And we're going to be giving you. Hence the amazing title of this segment. But we, and we're going to be giving you some finding a prop that we really like. And you can go in there and play a game of more or less. And it's, they give you.

A statistic for a player. So I'll start it off here with my example. You can go and play more or less and it gets the prop on the passing yards for the quarterbacks in the matchup of San Francisco versus Arizona. And right now, last I checked, Jimmy Garoppolo, it was more or less than 268.5 yards. That's what I mean. But this is simple. You play fantasy football. You know how to do this. In other words, is he going to throw for more? Yes.

Then 268 and a half yards or less. Wait, wait, wait. I'm confused. So. Yeah, this sounds right, Jason. But look, last year, Jimmy Garapolo, Jimmy G, he averaged 249 passing yards a game. That's well under the 268 and a half yards. He was only over that threshold six times. Two of those times were against the Arizona Cardinals. And by a lot. So I am taking the over, combined the fact with,

I give the edge to the offenses, especially offenses, you know, you've got George Kittle. You have an elite guy that you can go to. Jimmy Garoppolo, 317 passing yards, 424 passing yards against the Cardinals last year. So it's not like he just squeaked by this threshold. He smashed it. So I like taking the over. I like the over for Jimmy Garoppolo on the passing yards. He was phenomenal. I think it was like seven touchdowns, seven passing touchdowns in those two games.

I love that. And I think that that very well might happen against this minorly improved Arizona Cardinals defense. I'm actually going with the other quarterback in this game for my prop, because if yours happens, then mine will probably happen as well. I'm taking Kyler Murray more or less than 229 and a half passing yards. I'm taking the more.

Last season, he averaged more than 229 passing yards a game. But obviously, that wasn't against a great 49ers defense. However, in his first game ever against the 49ers, he passed for more than 229. He had 241 passing yards. That was without DeAndre Hopkins. This is an offense that I think is ready to explode.

They don't have Jason Verrett, or at least... Didn't practice? He didn't practice. So even if he's out there and limited, that's, you know, a hardship on the 49ers defense. So I like the over for both Garoppolo and Kyler Murray. I would just throw in the addition of when you said Kyla Murray had some success last year. That was without DeAndre Hopkins. I did throw that in. Oh, I was... Dang it! You got me now! You got slimed.

All right. My prop for the week, I'm going to go with this one. Austin Echler, more or less, 19.5 fantasy points. It is PPR format for the fantasy points over at Monkey Knife Fight. 19.5, I'm taking the over. Last year, Austin Echler averaged 97 yards from scrimmage per game. That was ninth best in all of football, the Bengals. Oh, my. They gave up an average of 153.6 yards from scrimmage per game. Fifth worst in the NFL.

And you know what? When you have Keenan Allen and nobody else at the wide receiver position, yes, Hunter Henry benefits, but you know who else does a running back that can line up in the slot and be a wide receiver. Awesome, excellent. Awesome, excellent, as he said. So I'm going to hit the over on the Austin Echler more or less there. And like Mike said, here's the key. You want to play some props, which is a really, really, I'll Borland.

has been on Monkey Knife Fight for the last two years raving about these props. We're so excited about a different way to kind of play the DFS game because this is like you said, Mike, you take the fantasy knowledge and you translate that and those projections into the end of the season.
