Think about how much life has changed since 1991. Back then, you had to rewind the VHS tapes.

There's nothing quite like a college football Saturday. The fight songs, the rivalries, the traditions passed out from one generation of fans to the next, and of course, they're settling in for a full day of football with a Chris Modelo because Saturdays are for the gridiron and services. College football is built on tradition and no one knows tradition like Modelo. From the fanquakes that shake the stadium to the rivalry trophies that mean everything year after year, these traditions are what makes Saturday special. So if you're listening to this, consider it your sign. Grab a Chris Modelo, settle in, and enjoy a full day of college football because it's just not game day, it's tradition.

And those who keep college football traditions alive deserve a Modelo. Modelo is the official beer sponsor of the college football playoff. Drink responsibly. Modelo is special beer imported by Crown Inports Chicago, Illinois. Oh. Come to the Pull Cornあと, That'll go into Will. So who is Problem? Calebley Ryster. Will Shaw Bear with the Kenneth Warren Racer 2015 !! Come on! Hey! Makes 1000 vertices and Abel Bend. I don't find programs attendance whole home week on the show. I think we were a combined seven and six. I need to step it up. We know prop, let me just put this way. This is a propie cook's week. This is the most place he has ever brought to the show. I hope you guys are excited. Uncle Dave has four amazing plays and a thousand opinions. So get ready, Uncle Dave. We're going to be calling it.

Probably he's got a lot of, a lot of props. So we're going to get right to it. I don't want to waste any time. Propie, let's start with your guy, Parker Washington. He is a guy that before the season, you loved him. You gave out futures on him. What are we doing this week against the Cincinnati Bengals? Also managed to avoid him last week. I might thank you. Thank you. The saddle when it comes to backing Parker Washington, backer Parker Washington is firmly established as the wide receiver one. He's the engine of this Jacksonville passing offense. And that has bore a lot of fruit so far. He is underlying metrics are phenomenal. 30% target share, 44% area yard share. He's heavily targeted in the splash zone. We know that's where the most valuable targets in the NFL come from. 29% targets per route run, 26% first free target rate, 2.91 yards per route run as well. So he has been absolutely phenomenal as the wide receiver one

for Jacksonville. But I like this match up for him quite a bit against a Bengals defense that plays man coverage at an extremely high rate. Parker Washington has been exceptional against man coverage. 3.69 yards per route run. That is an elite metric. So this is a great match up in a game with a high total, the highest projected total on the slate here. So we've really yet to see Jacksonville in a fun game environment where they've been pushed by the opposing team. And we've seen additional passing volume. I think the Bengals are the perfect dance party. I think they're a great match up. I also think they're a bit of a paper tiger defensively more on that when we talk about our rushing props. But I think this is a great spot to back Parker Washington. And there's another piece on Jacksonville that I like quite a bit that I know Dave's going to talk about as well. Is that my cue to oh he's on me. Thank you. That transition was just so clean.

Oh, I'm so I'm all the way with Dave. I'll go Dave. What I was going to say is so probably takes a pick last week that I lose. And you're taking a pick this week that I lost in week two. Talk about Jacobi Myers. I'm so tempted to hit the mute button and do what you just did. Do it on purpose. All right, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. You're so funny. You see, I love it. I see the exact same thing that proper Rooney sees with this Bengals defense. A lot of man coverage, especially on third and medium. And I think that that could be a world that Jacksonville lives in a lot. And Jacobi Myers also has a high target per route run rate and a high yards per route run. I could speak yards per route run rate when he's facing man coverage. And the numbers about half of what Parker Washington is. Probably is looking for 72 plus yards. I'm only looking for 40. And Jacobi Myers, I think is going to continue to be integrated into this Jacksonville passing. The best part about this whole thing is that Cincinnati's best cover corner is DJ Turner. And he's probably going to be

focused on Brian Thomas Jr. And why would he be from lined up against BTJ? That answer is simple. They don't want to get beat deep by Brian Thomas Jr. And the Jaguars will consider deep balls to him if he's wide open. So they can't do that. They're going to put their best corner on him. It's not going to be on Parker Washington. It's certainly not going to be on Jacobi Myers. So I like this over a lot. Over 39 and a half receiving yards for Jacobi Myers at minus one 13. Hey, Uncle Dave, there's a stat lifetime that Jacksonville in games with a total of 49 or more points is 0 and 23 straight up. I know how probably feels. I don't even need to ask him how he feels about stats that are. How do you feel about that? Do you would you would you automatically play Cincinnati based on that stat? No, because every game is its own individual thing. And it really doesn't matter what the past says. Unless we're talking about the last time in it. What is it? Oh, in 29, you said?

Oh, in 23 in their history. So in their history, if these two teams as they are built right now with the same players and coaches played each other 23 times and the Bengals beat them 23 times, I would absolutely take the Bengals. You think just the total is why that they're going to fall apart? I don't think so. Not at the point. I know somebody out there is playing that just because that's the type of dumb trends that I love. So I hope somebody's with me on that. Go ahead, Propi. I just want to add real quick as far as Jacobi Myers. I was on the early edge with you yesterday, EC, and I talked about I gave out a different prop that we're going to get to and get to the rushing pops. I actually specifically singled out Jacobi Myers as a this is a rare exception where I'm almost willing to play three overs on the same side of the team for the Jackson. I like Jacobi Myers quite a bit, especially at this number. I love this match up. And Brian Thomas Jr. despite what

I may think about him from a talent standpoint, has not endeared or ingratiated himself or endeared to Liam Cohen and this coaching staff. He's being phased out of this offense. He's a better real life player than statistical performer right now. I'll just leave it at that. I think there's a greater than 50% chance that he's not on the Jacksonville Jaguars by the end of the season. But we're really seeing a condensed target distribution mainly led by Parker Washington and Jacobi Myers. Are you offering a bet on BTJ status on the Jaguars by the end of the year? I mean, it's asking. Trades are rare in the NFL, but I do think there's at least more than a 25% chance. Okay, that's different than like 50%. I didn't know where you were going with that. And that was a weird season long showdown. I think he stays in Jacksonville. I don't think that they're going to trade him away. They have their chance to do it. It'd be foolish to trade him away. They have great depth at wide receiver and I do use a player despite obviously not having matched the production from

his rookie season, but right does not seem to be earning targets at a rate of a player of his caliber. Not only that, he's not even playing that much. Like you look at just what the route rate has been for our guy Parker because you're not the only one that was on a property doodle. Dandy, I was too. And Jacobi Myers, they're both playing very close to 90% of the routes run. That's huge. Whereas Brian Thomas Jr. is at 60%, which isn't great for someone who's a former first round pick, but goodness gracious. Like he's got a good role on this team. I think of an opponent of theirs offered a second round pick in the 27 draft. Maybe they'd consider it. But you're not that I think they're going to keep them. Uncle Dave in the chat, Boogie asks, sprint and strange over 33.5 receiving yards. Would you play that as well? I'd have to double check what his route numbers look like. And I can do that real quickly if you give me about 20 seconds. What they look like when he's gone up against man coverage this year. And I might want to compare it to last year too. But

off the top of my head, I would stay away from it. Okay, fair enough. Propy, let's go to number two. Let's go to your next prop. Let's talk about Zay flowers. This is a guy that I, a lot of people were big on third round pick and a lot of fantasy football drafts. Uncle Dave, you want to add something on us? No, I just it's a 15% route run rate against man coverage. 1.08 yards per route run. And so let's just say he runs 20 routes against man coverage. Then you're probably looking at the neighborhood of, I mean, 20 to 25, 925 yards. So I would stay away from Breton's trench. Fair enough. Now, prop are we staying away from Zay flowers? We're going to Baltimore and Tennessee. A Baltimore, you would think game flow wise would have a big lead. So they wouldn't need to throw, right? I would caution you against using that as a metric for identifying props. You see a game script, I think it's extremely overrated when you're breaking down props, frankly. But Zay flowers this season has been absolutely unbelievable. He has basically played the equivalent of a full

game because he's been in and out of line up for Baltimore. But when he has been on the field, the numbers are unbelievable. He's first in the NFL and first read target rate. He's first in the NFL and first read targets for route run. First in the NFL in yards per route run at 9.36. Just to give that that number some clarity, typically the lead leaders are in the 4.5 range. He's first in the NFL and yards per target. He is literally first in every single receiving metric thus far. The issue has been, he just hasn't been in the lineup. He's been in and out of the lineup due to a hamstring injury for Baltimore. He has been on the field. He is the engine of this Baltimore passing attack. And now he gets an incredible matchup against a Tennessee pass defense that is not very good coupled with the most important caveat. He practiced in full yesterday and today. So I expect Zay flowers even in a game where there might be limited Lamar Jackson dropbacks

to be playing a full complement of snaps and at just 67 and a half yards. This guy is playing such great football right now and is the clear engine of this Baltimore passing attack. Lamar Jackson is also playing excellent football right now. He's been a great passer thus far. I think this is a great spot to get a bargain buy on a healthy Zay flowers. I absolutely love this look from Zay. And it's going to see how push Baltimore. He could go absolutely nuclear in this matchup. All right. So, Poppy, you're going with Zay flowers on one side. I'm going to play one Dale Robinson over 37 and a half receiving yards on the other side. So Baltimore has allowed the second most catches in eighth most yards to wide receivers and then ninth most yards through three weeks to slot wide receivers. Robinson has a 21% target share and most importantly a 28% first read share. I think as I mentioned, I think Gameflow will be on my side. I think I don't think

Tennessee will push Baltimore that much but they're going to be in catch up mode. We saw Tennessee in catch up mode last week. Get one Dale Robinson a ton of targets and hit this prop as he's gone over this twice in the first three weeks and I think he can do it again. 37 and a half receiving yards. I'm taking the over Dave, which play do you like better? Do you like Zay flowers or do you like one Dale Robinson in that game? I'm nervous about one Dale Robinson keeping up what he did last week. There might have been something about the matchup against his former team and his former players that made Tennessee want to get him the football. I had an interesting conversation this week with Scott Turner. I've been doing a show with him on YouTube called Reality versus Fantasy. Scott Turner, the former NFL offensive coordinator. And one of the questions that I asked him this week is our revenge games really a thing. And he says that they're not necessarily a thing. Sometimes they are when a player is motivated to face his former team, especially if there was a financial reason why they're no longer with their former team.

They usually get pretty motivated. But there's also motivation when you're taking on your former team and you've played and not played but practiced against your former teammate and now you're playing against that former teammate in a game. And I wonder if there was something about that for one Dale Robinson last week because he was on the Giants last year. So he practiced against the kick players on this defense last year that made it more appealing. So I'm a little bit nervous. The number is not that bad. He sees so I don't mind trying the over. But I agree with Zay flowers in the hyper efficiency that he's had this year and ten seconds. And that great. Prophe go ahead. I would also add as far as just assuming the Tennessee is going to be playing catch-up mode. This has been the most hyper conservative offense in the NFL this season. Cam Ward has been truly dreadful. Tennessee is trying to protect Cam Ward by running the football. The Ravens also boast a very good past defense. They've had a very weak rush defense. They might think the most competitive advantage they have is running the football which is I really like Tony Pollard. Again

this week more on that to come. I just don't think it's a foregone conclusion just because they're trailing by ten points that they're suddenly going to let Cam Ward drop back 35 plus times a game. They do not want to do that. It's not been working for them. So I wouldn't just assume we're going to see a lot of dropbacks from the Tennessee offense even in a trailing game scripts. You know it's funny because you texted me this morning and there's a play that we'll discuss later and you said you need to go bet this right now. And I believe on the same player you told me the same thing last week. That's a teaser for later in the show for running back props. But Scott in the chat says flowers first TD and plus two TDs at plus 2000 which is 20 to one. Yes or yes. Prop he says yes. I say you know if you want to sprinkle it Dave what do you say? I think that this is a crazy parlay to take. So no I say no. I say no to this crazy parlay. I will never say no to crazy well within reason. Okay. Prop he let's get back to it. You've given out Parker Washington. You've given out Zay flowers. Another guy that was going in the third rounds of

a lot of fantasy drafts is Rishi Rice. He has not really been thus far this season. And now they're playing the Raiders. They're three you know. What do you expect from Rishi Rice this week? Yeah. We're watching Rishi Rice very closely and after the first two weeks of the season there was some pause for concern. But I was very encouraged up until the week three performance against the dolphins where Rice posted a ridiculous 41% targets per route run with a 7.4 A dot. That A dot is shallow compared to most NFL wide receivers though. However Rishi Rice since he's been in the league has had one of the most shallow A dots in the NFL. And what we're seeing now is we're seeing him work his way back into he just looks more comfortable on the field frankly. Same thing goes for Patrick Mahomes. Same thing goes for this entire chiefs passing offense. Rishi Rice was coming back from a knee injury. He's been worked in slowly and we've seen the chiefs kind of shift to

this explosive rushing attack led by Kenneth Walker. But I think we're going to see the effects of Kenneth Walker here really bear fruit for Rishi Rice because it's A dot which is kind of not necessarily worked against him because he's been in a high volume high target role. But we're going to start to see Rishi Rice work over the intermediate parts of the field more and he's getting targeted more down the field and we're just seeing this chiefs passing offense really start to take form and it's still designed around Rishi Rice. So I was extremely encouraged by the usage and the performance in week three. I like this matchup because I think the Raiders are certainly capable of being competitive in this game. I just been bullish on this chiefs passing attack. I thought rice looked really good last week and considering he was kind of ramping up in the first couple of weeks. We're still getting a discounted line here at just 54 and a half receiving yards. To me he's the clear wide receiver one on this team. I think he's likely to see between eight and 12 targets in

a competitive game script. So I think this prop likely is going to be in the low to mid 60s with then less than two weeks from now, especially after he has what's likely to be a big big week for performance. Uncle Dave. What? I thought you I didn't know if you had anything to say on Rishi Rice. No, no, no. If you want me to speak on it, I'd be happy if you want to talk on Rishi. Joe moving. No, we want to talk on Rishi Rice. I think this is a really interesting prop. I'd stay away from it. This is the first one that I've heard from Propy on the show so far that I'm not on board with, but not to the point where I think it's going to be an under. I'm just a little bit worried that Rishi Rice in week three against Miami was all right. Let's get him more involved because the first two weeks of the season, we went a little too much with Kenneth Walker and let's pull back a little bit on Walker and get Rishi Rice going a little bit more. The Raiders have found a way to stay in games and they found ways to win these games. So I don't think this is going to be a blowout necessarily, but I just don't know if Rishi Rice still has the

same type of role in this offense that he did in previous seasons. I think Kenneth Walker has really proven that he does. So I'm a little bit worried about asking Rishi Rice to get in the neighborhood of let's call it 55 to 65 yards. I think that the chiefs at this point do have plenty of options on where to go with the football. This isn't a no from me. It's just kind of a stay away. It's not going to be my favorite property. My counterpoint to that would be Rishi Rice's usage may decrease, but I think as efficiency will increase. And I think part of that is because of Kenneth Walker and his ability to command defensive attention that are opening things up more. And I think we saw an example of that last week and I really talking about the average depth of target for Rishi Rice. Typically he's been such a volume driven player, but I think we'll see more efficiency even if we see some decreased usage. So I think it's a bit of a push and pull given take, but I ultimately think considering this is a bargain

number. It's a good value. Do you think if he gets four catches that he can go over 54 and a half yards? I would put him around 54 and a half yards if he had four catches. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Hopefully he gets more than that. I'm not rooting against you at all. I just know. I know, David. I would just offer that as a counterpoint. Uncle Dave, there is a question that you have. This is a good one. I believe from Josh Davis. Justin Jefferson ruled out from Minnesota. Who benefits the most in that offense in a game that should be a blowout against the dolphins? Easily Jordan Addison. And that's the receiver who's built some chemistry really since the off season with Kyler Murray. And not only is Justin Jefferson out, they have a tight end name Josh Oliver. He's also out. So that could kick the door down for TJ Hockinson to get some opportunities in this game as well. I'm real curious about how the Vikings are going to operate though because they've got Aaron Jones and on the carries that he gets, he should be very efficient himself. How much do they work him?

How much do they lean on their remaining pass catchers? Could Joanne Jennings end up getting a little bit of work here too? But this is a very, this is going to be a very different looking Minnesota Vikings offense without Jefferson on the field and for whatever it's worth without Josh Oliver on the field too. And it's such a favorable matchup for them because the Miami dolphins on defense, a lot of young guys, a lot of inexperienced guys that dolphins move this year is putting a lot of these young players that they think they're going to have for years to come on the field now so that they learn to work with each other and play with each other. I think it's going to take a really bad game for an offense to keep the dolphins in it. And I don't know if the Vikings are necessarily going to be that bad in this matchup this week. So maybe they go conservative and they use a bunch of different running backs to run with Aaron Jones leading the way I would look at his overs and I would look at the yardage over for Jordan Addison and maybe a sprinkle on TJ Hockinson's over for yardage too. And there you go Rick in the chat you asked about Aaron Jones. Normally we would talk

about that and running back props but there you go. Uncle Dave likes the over 67 and a half rushing yardage soon. That you'd be good. Wow that's a big number so that's funny. I didn't look at the number. I didn't know it was that I yeah I like it. I like 67 and a half. I certainly would not give that as one of my plays. And I won't even say it's another for that. That's high. That's a lot. That's a lot. Proper you wanted to add. Uncle Dave talked about revenge narratives when he was talking about Scott Turner. I would add this is an interesting storyline heading into this game. Brian Flores facing the Miami Dolphins. If there was ever a person that had a legitimate axe to grind it would be Brian Flores. So if I'm looking to bet in this game it may be whether or not my amus force of touchdowns. I think they're gonna have a hard time doing that. That's a great call. That's a great call there and I love that. Hey Uncle Dave let's talk about the guy that he's the most mad at is still with that organization and is still gonna be with that organization maybe

until he's no longer on this planet. Fair enough. Uncle Dave let's talk about Keenan Allen. Now he did not practice today. Does that concern you for this next proper does that help? No I know it obviously doesn't help you see I would like to have our players practicing but I'm under the assumption that Keenan Allen will play against the commanders and I'm actually encouraged by what I saw from Keenan Allen in last week's game. Josh Downs has been fantastic for Indianapolis. He's separating like crazy. Just really good speed, really good route running. All the things that you look for in a wide receiver that's somebody who I'm targeting in my fantasy leagues. But Keenan Allen at times looked almost as good as Josh Downs. And so I want to take an over on Josh Downs in this matchup against the commanders and I'm taking the yardage over 36 and a half at minus 109. The juice get a little bit of a discount there. I think the Washington will blitz Jones a bunch. It's just what teams try to do against Daniel Jones is make him uncomfortable that's really when he makes his mistakes and they've blitzed a lot of every game anyway but they're not getting past rush

and Jones likes getting the ball out fast anyway. So when the Colts are trying to get the ball out fast Keenan Allen is number two in target for a run rate and that's on throws of two seconds or shorter and it's 26.7%. That's with twice as many targets that Tyler Warren has in that specific type of quick pass game situation. A coverage bus helped Allen last week get 10 and a half yards per catch. I don't think he can do that this week but Washington secondary has been bad since the start of the year where four games in. I don't think they have a solution for it. And I think Keenan Allen getting those underneath routes will be able to break one or two of them to get us in the neighborhood of 40 or 50 yards. So this is one that I absolutely love taking the over Keenan Allen 36 and a half receiving yards minus 109. All right I like that you you talked me into it but let's talk about on the other side we have a question from Mark Rubaker about Terry McClure and now he did not he was added to the injury report now questionable for that London game. It's a very early start. I believe 930 AM Easter and 630 Pacific. That's right. You weren't me if it's

probably in me on the west coast who need to wake up early and check your lineups. Yeah. McClure and 50 and a half receiving yards over under or stay away. I think what's the injury give me the injury one more time. I think it was a lie. Look it up if you don't have it. Yeah I was looking here and and it was a leg injury of some kind. It wasn't quite sure. It's a hamstring injury. Okay so that's something that could impact his speed for sure. Let's stay away from the props with McClure and I'm out. Yeah and if there if there was a situation where oh boy there could be a real problem where he's not available. Digs time it would be digs time they're getting chiggle concoil back as well. Was he and he must have been I'm looking at their Thursday practice report. I don't have their their Friday one yet they have an updated on their website so this must have just happened. It must have and you know what it also reminds me Dave of what happened in eco Collins and Houston the other week where everything was fine. Got hurt and then it's missed two weeks likely

going to come back this week so keep an eye. I'm staying away from McClure and I think he would agree with that. Yeah the hamstring issue popped up on Friday in practice so now he's questionable. This is something that unfortunately if you've got McClure and on your fantasy team guys you're going to have to wake up early like the rest of us on the east coast and have have somebody ready to go in case when these injuries pop up like this it's it's it's kind of a 50 50 type of proposition about whether or not they play so it's really easy to just stay away from from the prop market on terrarum of Lauren and even every place I think I would stay with. Prophe go ahead. Yeah last thing you're looking for is a soft tissue injury. Yeah on the thing so not having practice reps not really knowing the the status being super murky I think it's a stay away as well. Alright probably let's talk about a guy Sunday night football. I don't think we've given out a Sunday night football prop all season to date and you're going to give out the first one and the Lions have been not very good against anybody in the passing game but especially

tight ends. Talk about Darren Waller for the Panthers. Yeah I've been impressed with Darren Waller who even had this advanced stage of his career is making a true impact for this Carolina passing attack that's been quite functional and this looks like a really good matchup. I did care a line or excuse me Detroit has given up 350 yards through three games to opposing tight ends. That is 51 yards higher than the second team which is the Bengals who have surrendered 299 yards to the position so they are an absolute sieve when it comes to covering the middle of the field specifically tight ends and then Darren Waller I've been encouraged by for the first time this season last week played over 50% of the offensive snaps ended up with eight targets turn them into five catches for just shy of 60 yards so Darren Waller's role in this offense is more than just a big

capable red zone target and at just 26 and a half receiving yards in a matchup that's likely to be a shootout that's likely to feature additional passing volume. I talk about this concept all the time getting cheap pieces in shootouts this looks like one of those this is the prime example of that in my opinion furthermore you also have Jalen Coker who's questionable small chance he doesn't suit up I expect him to suit up maybe let operating that less than a hundred percent Xavier Legette not playing as well and we saw Darren Waller really strep up when Coker left the field last week but just needing 26 and a half yards he's eclipsed this in all three games already this season so this is way closer to his four in this role in this offense but I think we left on the bone here so I'm backing him to go over 26 and a half yards. I love that play I think that's a great a great look there. Hey Uncle Dave let me ask you about Mark has another one in the chat and it's a great one Kenyan Cedique longest reception over

17 and a half yards was awesome last week over a hundred yards against the Lions are you know no odd and I Mitchell no Mason Taylor this week what do you make of Cedique? I I would lean toward taking the over on this Cedique's game is much more of a receiver than a blocker and is playing time surely went up last week and I think at this point the coaching staff is going to continue to give him more opportunities to play I might prefer the reception not knowing what they are of course I might get blown away like I did with Aaron Jones but the receptions in the yardage overs I might like those a little bit better but I think there's no question four and a half reception okay I'm not going to like that better and what about the yardage? I believe the yardage is in the low the high 40s mid to high 40s. Okay I'm going to pivot I'm going to say that this is the best play to take for Kenyan Cedique is the over on longest catch of the game not necessarily believing that he's going to have as many catches as he had last week but he's absolutely capable he's a very athletic player much more of a receiver than a blocker somebody who can definitely make a catch make a man miss and then

hustle for a 20 yard play. Proper our last receiving prop that you're going to give out and I've done over over over over it's time for an under I know look at Uncle Dave Smiley and he knows what's coming. CD Lamb against the Houston Texans why are we playing the under? Yeah this is a spicy one CD Lamb has been phenomenal this season arguably having the best year of his career. Dax also looked really good and the Texans defense despite sky high expectations being the proverbial favorite so when their division in a super bowl contender frankly their defense has not lived up to expectations but this is a very tough match up in my opinion for the Dallas Cowboys passing attack and specifically for CD Lamb. Kwame Lasseter or Derek Stimley Jr. these guys have not lived up to their reputation as the Premier Corners some of the Premier Corners in the NFL I still think they're very good I still think they have a very good past defense

but what I like about this match up is the Houston Texans double team at the highest rate in the NFL they are going to give CD Lamb a lot of attention and then when it comes to slowing down Dax Prescott in this match up I think the Texans have the optimal personnel to do that. Dax Prescott is excellent with a clean pocket he's also excellent against the blitz how do you slow Dax Prescott down you get pressure with four and the Texans are doing that at a very high level also if we look at their success rate this season while some of their metrics paint on ugly picture they still rank second in success rate in past defense so to me they're a bit of a sleeping giant defensively I think this is a much more difficult match up than some of the wrong numbers may suggest here so I just think this is a natural spot to fade CD Lamb who's played fantastically he's averaging over 100 receiving yards per game but he's going to see a lot of double coverage from some very good corners

and I think Dax going to have to get rid of the football quickly in this match up and I just don't think it lends itself you CD having a big game so he's going to have to earn his yards I'm going to bet on Houston slowing down the status passing attempt. By the way our guy Bergbetts is in the chat he is playing Jacobi percent over 38 and a half pass attempts at plus 179 that's we're giving that out early but he is as sharp as they come to check out that bet for my guy Bergbetts go ahead prop he yeah Dave love that pick so much he literally is sprinting to the sports book as we speak to going help me back down as he possibly can on it so let's go to MTC when we came back from my wife's lunch on let's let's move on to running backs propie and you this is the one you texted me about this morning you said you have to bet this when propie says you have to bet this I mean I had to put it in a parlay that's what that meant so let's talk Tony Pollard you hit it last week against the giants what do we expect against

the Baltimore Ravens this week I also want to mention last week when I gave out Tony Pollard it was 45.5 for ushing yards and ended up closing at 62.5 rushing yards so some amazing closing line value there and Tony Pollard cashed in even if he took him at 62.5 rushing yards last week had over 70 and while this Tennessee Titans offense has been a complete disaster Tony Pollard has shockingly been extremely efficient he's been one of the lone bright spots on this Titans offense he leads the NFL in success rate so far this season he's been very good also top 10 and rushing yards expected over per game so he's cashing in on his chances and I talked about this earlier when we were talking about the Ravens and Zay flowers and this matchup this Tennessee offense is extremely conservative EC they're playing to not get embarrassed and the way they do that is by running the football that's what works for them and if you look at

this matchup again Baltimore yes they may be trailing in this game but Tennessee has proven this year they run the football even if they're down 14 points they don't want to overexpose cam ward who's been absolutely dreadful so they may even look at this as this gives them their best chance to win frankly against the Ravens defense whose past defense has been above average but the Ravens run defense has been putrid this year 26th and rushing DVOA 29th and EPA allowed per rush 20th in success rate and 20th in run stop win rate so this is a good matchup even though it doesn't look like one at first glance and even though you may be worried about the game script I'm not worried about it because this Tennessee team stinks cam ward is awful Tony Pollard is going to handle 15 to 17 touches even in a negative game script and this is a good matchup for him this should have never opened up 45 and a half again it should have opened in the mid to high 50s in my opinion so I am once again going right back to the Tony Pollard well okay and that's

and that's fair enough I can't argue with that you said I mean you talked about the closing line value last week that was obviously very important let's talk about a shared pick that you and I have it's rare that you and I necessarily agree on a pick but gosh do I feel a lot better about life when I agree with you on a pick we both put it out on sportsline.com and it has to deal with Christian McCaffrey's receiving here now before we were both playing the over we're both playing over 39 and a half the only thing that I'm going to add and then I'll let you take it from here property about McCaffrey is somebody other than George Kiddell and Debo Samuel has to catch passes in San Francisco and he's had four receptions for 41 or more yards in each of the last two games so Christian McCaffrey property hit it why are we playing the overline yeah I'm rarely back running back receiving props that's something I've gone on and nauseam about in the past uh Christian McCaffrey you'll hear me say is a rare exception the reason being is because his receiving usage is so heavy that he's an actual focal point if you look at his receiving metrics they look like a good

wide receiver two in an NFL offense his first read target rate the yards for target the yards per route run they're all extremely impressive and I look at this matchup I love this matchup for him to make an impact in the short area passing game when you talked about it he's seen the San Francisco pass catcher group right now is completely depleted you couple that with an excellent matchup against a Denver team that loves two blitz uh when when Brock Purdy is heavily blitz he looks to Christian McCaffrey that's typically rare because a lot of running backs protect in those situations but he is the outlier I talked about Christian McCaffrey being that outlier all the time he is the rare exception to that rule uh where uh Brock Purdy who's playing absolutely phenomenal football number one in EPA this year number one and most offensive efficiency metrics looks to Christian McCaffrey and this is a low number sub 40 yards I believe he went over this in 14 of his seven or 18 games

including the playoffs last season he's eclipses in two of the three games uh this year so I think there's going to be a bigger emphasis on getting the football out of Brock Purdy's hands quickly I love Christian McCaffrey's receiving line I would never take one of these props if I didn't have a significant edge on it which I do have with Christian McCaffrey this is one of my favorite looks this week and this is the best week uh that I I would contend this is the best week for player props we've had this season uh obviously I'm putting my money where my mouth is making nine official picks just on this show alone yeah I mean this is you and you said this probably this is one of your favorite weeks that you've you've seen in a long time and for you and I to grant the McCaffrey prop I feel really good about it so we are aligned there Uncle Dave welcome back we know you went to the sportsbook real real fast the police prop he's Tony Pollard bet uh for the seconds trade week let's talk about another guy that I want to I want to ask you about so say or I was called him San Diego the Chargers O'Marian Hampton has been underwhelming and we've seen uh Mike

McDaniel and Jim Harbock give Keaton Mitchell more run what do you make of Mitchell this week against a tough Seattle defense I like him I actually think his game is what the Chargers need to implement more in their offense and I would say that the Chargers moves in week three back that and on top of that this is the right kind of matchup to deploy Keaton Mitchell so I'm taking the over on his totally artichets only 28 and a half you can find it you I mean you don't want to find it at 31 and a half but you might see it at 31 and a half and I would take the over there too I think there's going to be plenty of chances for Mitchell to touch the bomb be a factor just as he was last week there is no doubt that he's among the few Chargers with explosiveness in his game at this point and the offense utilize him as soon as their third snap on offense last week and they game a total of 11 touches often giving him carries to the edges short took area targets in the passing game both of those types of touches E.C. perfect against zone coverage and that's what the

C.O.X. have been specializing in ever since Mike McDonald got to the Pacific Northwest a ton of cover three a ton of cover six and that's going to leave a lot of things open in that underneath area I don't know what we would call that property but it certainly would not be the splash zone it might be like the trickle zone because you're not going to get a ton of yards there unless you get a lot of touches there and in the case of Keaton Mitchell because he's so good making guys miss and running away from people he can pick up a lot of yardage there pretty easily it wouldn't surprise me if we see Keaton Mitchell have his second game of the year with double digit touches and his third game of the year with at least 39 total yards yes the C.O.X. defense is good but we're not looking for Keaton Mitchell will be the reason why the Chargers beat the C.O.X. we're just looking for him to get in the neighborhood of 35 yards okay and I think that's very reason I mean you don't even need that you just need 29 yards and we're good so sure if he's out of ladder is that a ladder play for you I mean I don't know how much laddering we're talking

about to get to 35 yards from 28 half 40 is it a step stool play um no I think 35 would be my absolute max X on the ladder right there go ahead propy yeah Zayflower is a ladder play for me just putting that out there but Keaton Mitchell is such a better schematic fit for Mike McDaniel and what this Chargers offense is trying to do um Marry and Hampton despite obviously the you know the high draft stock in him is just it's not a schematic fit right now for this Chargers offense doesn't help with Justin Herbert's not playing well either the offensive line has been dismal but yeah they look a lot better with Keaton Mitchell on the field frankly oh Marry and Hampton 15 carries last week he see on one of them one he created yardage by breaking a tackle on the other 14 he got what was blocked for him kind of reminded me of Caleb Johnson with the Packers that is not a good comparison Dave that is not a good comparison prop ego that's a great segue

if it's okay if I give out my next rushing prop uh Bayeshel Tutten uh for talking about tackle breaking ability this guy is one of the best tackle breakers in the NFL I'm double dipping on Bayeshel Tutten this week I'm going over 12 and a half rushing attempts I also put out his rushing line I believe a 52 or 53 and a half rushing yards this is since kicked up 58 and a half but I've been so impressed with Tutten who by the way has had at least 13 rushing attempts in every game this season but he has to be endearing himself uh to this Jaguirus coaching staff Chris Rodgerie guys junior is just a Jagu's just another guy Bayeshel Tutten is a special runner in my opinion uh and while the breakaway yards have yet to come he is consistently churning out chunk gain after chunk gain the coaching staff loves to see that the Jaguirus offensive line has also performed well that was thought to be a potential weakness for this team but they have been very good

from a run blocking standpoint and pass blocking frankly uh but I like to smash up against the Bengals because it's going to be a competitive game environment and I think that shift where Bayeshel Tutten is going to become the future back even though he's kind of in a 1A1B situation where he's getting around 60% of the team's rushing share I think we see that number creep closer to 70% because good things happen when this guy gets the football to me he's a tremendous breakout candidate he's an exceptional by-law I'm trying to target him in both dynasty and redraft I'm incredibly bullish on him and I think he has a big week four performance against the Bengals defense that's a bit of a paper tiger they've been performing better they're improved certainly they're not nearly as good as the stats reflect we got a glimpse of that in week three I think this game is high scoring I think Bayeshel Tutten I think Parker Washington and Jacoie Mayer's are all very productive as well hey uncle David by the way I just want to tell you I love your trade value chart that comes out I believe it's every Tuesday I look at that every week

now I'm not necessarily follow it that well because I make dumb trades in my leagues nonetheless I should follow it literally to the tee it's a great column you guys got to check it out cbsports.com every Tuesday afternoon it's gold from Uncle Dave so I ask you this and we don't do a lot of a lot of fantasy questions but rest of season property was just going on about Bayeshel Tutten loves loves loves would you take Tutten or O'Marion Hampton rest of season I believe I have Tutten higher in the trade chart double checking to see if that's the case because I I I they're actually very close to each other in the trade chart wow that 18 so the reason why I answer that so quickly is because I like Tutten better than Hampton rest of season but the beauty of the trade chart is that I use a process that implements public public perception and that's obviously a huge part of what people do when they look at a trade is what's this guy worth to the general public so just because a guy might be worth less to me doesn't mean he should be worth less on the trade chart it's

just one of those things that makes the trade chart different it's it's not biased by me it's based on what the public thinks and what the future holds and there's always listen I I like Keaton Mitchell this week and I like him for fantasy too as as like kind of a desperation fantasy running back a lot of people lost running backs the injury you're looking for a guy that might get to eight ppr points I think Keaton Mitchell is your guy and I think he's got upside to do better than that but we're still talking about a running back in O'Marion Hampton that's going to get some work and he's certainly going to be used at the goal line for the chargers I don't think the chargers often too so bad that they're going to stop scoring points and stop moving the football they were capable of doing that against Buffalo so there is some appeal to O'Marion Hampton and fantasy but as for him still being a guy that you would take in round two in your fantasy draft no that ship has sailed that is gone long gone and he's now probably somebody that you would take in like round four in your fantasy draft all right talk property let's talk about a guy that was taken in round one I've just about every fantasy draft that's Jonathan Taylor now going up against the commanders seemingly an okay matchup

in London Colts need their offense to do something even their record at two and two so we buy her we selling Jonathan Taylor listen I have had the displeasure you might call it watching all of the commanders snaps and I've got to say I have been extremely impressed with their run defense their run defense has been exceptional this season they've given up the third furious rushing yards to opposing running backs it's despite being run on a ton because the past defense is terrible and teams have been playing with big leads against them thus running the football against them but they have just not given up anything they have been extremely stubborn in the running game at 90 and a half rushing yards for Jonathan Taylor in an offense right now that sputtering Daniel Jones is not playing well the offensive line hasn't looked good I just have a lot of confidence even though he's likely to get 18 to 22 touches that the commanders are going to make life very difficult they're six the NPA allowed per rush and they're just shaping up to be

a true pass funnel I think the way to beat the commanders which is why I like Dave's look on buying keen an Allen though is through the air so I just don't see them giving Jonathan Taylor 25 plus rushing attempts and when he does get the ball they are just selling out to stop their run sometimes this just happens where there are bad football team but they're very good in one in one area and that just looks to be the case with this commander's team they have shut down every running back and every rushing attack they have faced thus far so this has been circled on my play sheet long before the line drop if you'll notice if you're a sports line subscriber I put this out basically the moment that this line populated because this is one I've been waiting for so I am backing this commander's rush defense just as much as I'm fading Jonathan Taylor before we move on to quarterback props Dave has one I have one and then of course I'll give you your kicker prop everybody wants to kicker prop we got one of a random name who's never been given

out on any show before because he's a rookie don't want to spoil it okay I've rapid fire questions uncle Dave we're going back to receivers Cliff Rickard wants to know JSN been unbelievable thus far is over as close to a hundred yards receiving we'll play that against the chargers yes he's been fantastic the Seattle team cannot run the football they're one of the reasons why the commanders stats against the run looks so good is because they stink running the football they're not ready to fully trust their rookie running back yet and with all the fumbles he's had I understand why their offense is Jackson Smith and Jigba then number 11 and then their receiver from Ohio Stateers and MVP candidate those are their first three targets in the offense and as long as that sticks to the plan you're going to see them have some numbers and I think JSN can get you in the neighborhood of 125 130 on the matchup against the charge I I almost gave that out this week but I figured if I gave that out over a hundred yards that means he would this would be the one week where he had like 25 so I decided I'd stay away knowing my luck hey a prop he drew wants to know is Dalton

can Cade still at prop stars HQ this week over 49 and a half receiving yards absolutely I've been watching this line and it's been heading south so I've been waiting to see where it settles but Dalton Cade is still they're building the plane out what that means is he's the the engine of the passing attack his efficiency metrics are still off the charts we're still seeing his snap share grow so I like this matchup even against New England who has sticky coverage but I think he has an advantageous individual matchup so I like Dalton Cade here and I'll likely be putting a play out on him okay uncle day before I get into my next prop let's talk about the bills passing offense Christian Gonzalez is out for New England do we have anything on DJ Moore with Gonzalez out he's he's expected to play I'm not even sure if he's on the bill's injury report he is not he's taken off he was taken off he's gonna go and this really does open

the floodgates for him to have a much better game and it's also going to be challenging for how the patriots opt to defend Josh Allen in this bill's offense what they've done in the past is brought the safety down in the box and tried to slam down on the run it worked out pretty well for them in their first meeting last year and then they just got absolutely gashed in their second meeting I don't know how much the patriots will do that without Christian Gonzalez on the field and if they do do that and it's single coverage and the sides of the field are open then you can see DJ Moore have himself a pretty nice game without Christian Gonzalez there the core short from Viori is one pair I keep reaching for morning run afternoon training watching the game doesn't matter soft four-way stretch built in liner comfortable all day plus they look good enough to wear well beyond the gym ready to try a pair head to Viori.com slash pod 20 to get 20% off your first purchase

alpine at 253 albeit that game he was in chase mode had 71 yards in the fourth quarter yes I added it up with the calculator and a hundred and ninety three yards in a game where they weren't really you know they were ahead and didn't really have to do much late that's how I feel about it this week so I think Josh Allen will end up closer to 200 yards than four than 242 and a half based on all that are you with me Uncle Dave are you against me I'd stay away from it because there's definitely an opportunity here for Josh Allen to have a couple of breakaway plays without Christian Gonzalez there you've got to remember without Gonzalez that that takes a different defensive back that would have normally been on the bench and puts them on the field I don't think it necessarily changes how they utilize their nickel corner or their opposite corner to Christian Gonzalez and those guys are just on their own merit are good but not as good as Christian Gonzalez and you can imagine how they probably feel about the bench corner coming into replace Christian Gonzalez also he's not the only Christian missing from this game Christian Barmore is also not going to play

for the Patriots and yeah that helps their that helps the bills run offense but they still have Milton Williams and Robert Spillane and for that second game that I talked about and maybe this maybe this tells us something you see because in that second game there was no Milton Williams there was no Robert Spillane they had different players in obviously on defense and they were able to run the ball they still played a lot of single-high now that was last year they can always make changes this year but I wonder if that's a tell for us that they stick with the single-high coverage that they've leaned into already a lot this year to maybe defend Josh Allen in the bills that way and if they do that then I do think that there will be passing opportunity for a lot of pass catchers and Buffalo. Propy I would also add Joe Brady was very conservative last week against Chargers Josh Allen at his worst performance of the season thus far I do not expect that to be the case in this week I would feel very uncomfortable fading Josh Allen. Interesting okay now we'll see

considering I've been you know looking up that Patriots past defense we'll find out. Propy you you we have a couple of showdowns that are they've gone my way lately would you like another one on this one 242 and a half do you want the over do you want to stay away? I'm gonna let you know in the next few minutes all right we're gonna find out on that there we go in the meantime let's go to Uncle Dave for his passing prop Lamar Jackson now we've talked a lot about this game. Propy loves a flowers. Propy loves Tony Pollard I have one Dale Robinson who would have thought that the Titans and Ravens would have four props in a show I would not have guessed that beforehand but here we are it's time for Lamar Jackson so what do we do with Lamar this week Uncle Dave? I'm gonna take the under on his pass attempts it's 27 and a half at minus 114 and part of it is really rooted in the revenge game narrative for Derek Henry and we talked about it earlier that sometimes revenge games matter and sometimes they don't and sometimes it's all about the reason for the revenge game and with Derek Henry it's about not getting an extension from the

Titans in Tennessee going and moving on from Derek Henry when they did what did he do he went to Baltimore he's been on a competitive Ravens team since then he's also played in 14 games with Lamar Jackson when he's had 20 or more carries and in those 14 games only four times as Lamar Jackson been over 27 and a half pass attempts two of them were losses I don't think they're gonna lose the Tennessee one of them was a close game and then one of them was a blowout win so I think the chances of Lamar Jackson even needing to throw a ton in this game I think it's a little small here and that's why I'm going to take the under and also keep in mind the Titans pass rush not that great they're secondary not that great this could be one of those hyper efficient games from Lamar Jackson where he goes out there throws the ball 23 times completes 20 of them for 250 yards and three touchdowns I could really see something like that happening and then that happens by the middle of late late third quarter late third quarter and then the fourth quarter comes around this could

be a blowout after all and Lamar takes a seat so I think the way to go with this one is actually under on Lamar Jackson's pass attempts 27 and a half at minus 114 can we go four and oh in the Titans Ravens game on the show I I could tell I mean this morning when I'm looking at the rundown that is not what I expected to see probably I want to ask you a big cheesy in the chat has two Daniel Jones props the first one is over one and a half passing touchdowns the second is over 31 and a half pass attempts since you are fading Jonathan Taylor which one do you like better if any it would be the attempts yeah again the commanders are a massive pass funnel their past defense is terrible the run defense my opinion very good so that likely results and I'm taking a more aggressive game plan throwing through the air that being said it's still Daniel Jones is not exactly playing great football this season so I'm a little hesitant to back Daniel Jones more comfortable personally fading Jonathan Taylor but it does seem some a corollary backing Daniel

Jones and it would be the pass attempts uncle Dave what do you think of Jalen cocker now he's been great thus far this year but left last week early with an injury his line is 52 and a half I am skeptical because I'm not sure he's going to play where do you stand I'm skeptical to even finish the game if he does play because he's been dealing with quad injuries for the better part of the last 12 months so if I'm going to play anything here with cocker it's going to be the under because I'm worried about just how effective he'll be and how much he'll actually be on the field by the way they have a buy next week I would be surprised to see him in the lineup that's why I think if you can get properties Darren Waller prop now as you watch this if you're watching live bed it now if cocker is listed out or questionable game time decision you don't want to take that chance I think Waller would benefit if cocker is listed out it's unquestionably a benefit to Waller if cocker doesn't play but even if cocker does play and doesn't play every snap and isn't at 100 percent I just think the number is so low on Waller that he might be able to get a three

for 30 and you squeak this one out Rick stay away from that that cocker prop is what we're saying all right property here's one before I give my kicker prop Jason asks we know you're a big Brock Bower's guy this year does Travis Kelsey try to outperform him what do you think about those two in that matchup this week I mean the comparison between the two at the stage of Travis Kelsey's girl Brock Bower's is an elite wide receiver who has tight end eligibility they split him out wide almost all of his snaps so this guy is just a wide receiver who has tight end eligibility and he's an elite wide receiver at that Brock Bower's is absolutely unbelievable just coming out the gate making a season debut look like one of the most dominant players in the NFL I frankly never seen a tight end like Brock Bower so he's in a class on the zone Travis Kelsey has certainly had a great career but at this stage of his career the comparison between the two is completely

different in my opinion so Slade and the chat and Cliff earlier wants to know latter options you had mentioned Zay flowers would you latter Brock Bower's is 72 and a half would you consider a latter upward I like him to go over that that is efficient that is a very good chiefs defences facing as well so not sure I'd want to latter Brock Bower's even though I do think he obviously possesses triple digit upside much more comfortable backing Zay flowers lower number A be the matchup is significantly softer as well all right speaking of a guy to latter Uncle Dave I'm on Ross Saint Brown 74 and a half year it's had a really rough game last week surprising did get in the end zone 74 and a half is that our latter play this week nope I wouldn't take that as a latter play and and I'd be a little bit nervous about him getting over that number as well this is a Carolina defense that plays a lot of zone coverage a lot of cover three I would much rather take a monorax Saint Brown's receptions over and think that he can still kind of dink and dunk his way down the field

that's what Carolina really wants to do it's kind of the same thing that Seattle does they just lean into one version of that zone coverage more than Seattle does. Propy a good pair of Carolina Carolina past defense as well I know Dave alluded to that I just wanted to clarify. Well well it's a good scheme I don't know if it's even a good scheme I'm going to take that back it's it's a scheme they did lose their top corners and so I think that might be fueling why people are taking the over on Saint Brown but losing both of their top cornerbacks I don't know how many of those guys how many times those guys would have faced Saint Brown anyway because Saint Brown lines up in the slot works underneath a lot I would I would if I'm going to take anything with Saint Brown that numbers too high I would take the under. Gentlemen it's time for me to smack some sense India with a car prop it's time how about trace smack from the Green Bay Packers over one and a half field goals at minus one eighteen so Tampa Bay has surrendered ten made field goals through three weeks that was tied with the Cleveland

Browns before they played Pittsburgh last night and smack has multiple field goals in two of three games thus far Green Bay's offense is pathetic I don't expect a lot of touchdowns from them yes they throw to Christian Watson and Matthew Golden and occasionally Tucker Kraft but they are disgraceful running the ball they will find a way to get in field goal range against Tampa Bay and we will smack our way to a couple of field goals here with the rookie kicker there is your kicker prop for the weekend by the way if you didn't see my other kicker prop on early edge go back and watch it this morning I don't want to I don't want to give it out just you got to go watch the show I gave out a combined yardage field goal prop the highest number I have ever seen in combined the yardage you can think about who that is Uncle Dave we'll see if you can guess but let's see the the recap screen first let's look before we make our our picks here all right properties got a long list so probably I'm going to let you deliver your nine props on this screen go ahead and read them off delivered by little Caesars the official pizza sponsor of the NFL right now scored two favorites
