Week 1 Matchups, In-or-Out, Notpportunity

which is really important. Welcome. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. As we sing clown music for other people, we are in fact the clowns. Look, you can be both serious, accurate and funny at the same time. They're not mutually exclusive. Still trying to find the funny part to figure that out. Yes. But Darren Waller, I still feel confident rolling him out there. I think he's just going to be part of the game plan and we're not dealing with an offense that has shown us.

You know, that Derek Carr likes to throw the ball down field. I think Darren Waller, get him in space, get him the opportunity, get him some drag routes, give him the ball. Let him see what, let him jump over a building. Ooh, that'd be impressive. I mean, he's an athletic. For sure. He's an athletic freak. I think he'd be out of bounds, Mike. Thank you. We do know the rules of football. Josh Jacobs, he makes his debut. Excellent. It's got to be better than David Montgomery's, doesn't it? Has to be. 100%. Like,

We have liked David Montgomery over the offseason, supported him because I think he's a good player and he will have his opportunity. But when people started drafting Montgomery over Josh Jacobs, my mind exploded. We sounded the alarm and made fun of those people. Like Josh Jacobs is a first round pick. He is going to be the guy. On a team with a ton of vacated targets, which usually focuses on passing to the running back the next season. He has the pedigree.

the draft capital, the opportunity, the situation, and he's super talented. That's why he was drafted in the first round. All right, a couple of injury updates since the show started. Mike Evans actually did not practice on Friday. He has an illness, so I wouldn't expect him to miss time, but follow that. We'll update you Sunday morning. Yeah, the goblin. Just set up for success. Marquise Brown did not practice on Friday. I would put that him into question whether he's going to even run around a few times on Sunday. So it's not like you were starting him, but.

I don't know, Miles Boykin. That's what I was going to say. It lends credence to Miles Boykin. Yeah, you could make an argument in DFS play to take a, no, not me, not me. Well, speaking of DFS, we have a brand new segment. We're super excited about it. It's time. Ballers on a budget, presented by Fandul. Mike, you've outdone yourself. I'm pretty happy with that one.

All right, ballers on a budget. Each week we're going to bring you our, I guess you'd call them our best buys in DFS, our best values, players that we think you can.

mix and match into your lineup so that you can find that right mix of winning talent. Yeah, when you're in a tournament play and you're trying to, you know, not just beat one person where you've got to be in the top 50%, you really usually need to find a couple super cheap options that allow you to put in those great stud running backs that are super expensive. You've got to look elsewhere sometimes for the true values. And this all plays Footland. This is like...

Really, really cool. We have a foot clan tournament weekly. Weekly with massive prizes through the year. You go to fandole.com slash ballers to get in. It's the whole year long and you have a chance to win an all expense paid trip to Arizona to hang out plus tons of prizes. And we're giving you our best cheap ballers on a budget pitch. What we call these plays, I mean, they're value plays, but.

on the fantasy footballer's DFS podcast. Last year we would talk about these guys. These are, it's a key. It's a master key so that you can actually unlock your roster so you can fit those high price running backs in. And this is what you have to do. You have to go on a budget. So let's, we'll start at the top because I, my guy is the most expensive of the three players. But.

It just happened to overlap where he's my start of the week at the wide receiver position, and he is cheap enough that I want him all over the place. It's my sweetie, my sweetie, Deity coming into $5,900. That would be Deity Westbrook. Yeah, wide receiver. That's his name now. People know who he is. Okay. My sweetie, Dedy Westbrook coming into $5,900. It's incredible values. I've already been gone over why he's in such a good position.

So I love him. The targets will be there. High scoring matchup. Yeah, I mean, if I can afford him, I would definitely take him over my pick because he's way undervalued here on Fandul at $5,900. I'm going with Marquis Goodwin at $5,400. Yeah, he's interesting. If you need to save more money and you want that high upside, you're talking about a player who can, you know, in a 50 plus point over under against a terrible defense with lightning speed that's going to be low owned, meaning if you put him in your lineup,

It's not like, oh, well, everyone's got him in his lineup. So now you're just with all these other. You separate yourself from the pack. And I'm going bottom of the barrel as cheap as they come. The original Hollywood before Marquis Brown, the veteran wide receiver. Is it? They called him Hollywood. Oh, yeah. Hollywood? That's the nickname. Richard Higgins wide receiver for Cleveland, $4,500 on Fanduel. That's as cheap as it gets.

And this is a player that has survived the Cory Coleman days. He's the veteran amongst the group. He's surviving the Antonio Callaway days as well. He is. And he's going to be out there and he's as cheap as they come. And if, for some reason, Odell Beckham misses some snaps, we know that Baker's pretty target agnostic. I mean, it's not like he's not going to give the ball to his big guys. But Richard Higgins can make place. He's proven that overtime. And so I think at $4,500, he's completely...

You know, the best value that you can put on your team and is a little sneaky. I really believe that. So I love it. Jason mentioned it. You need to go to Fandual.com slash ballers.
