Good afternoon. Welcome to a Tuesday edition of Prop Points here on V-Send. I'm John Hansen, September 15th. We're ready to rock and roll. Big fantasy day today on the program. Hard to talk about. Propage and betting is so early in the week, but we will talk about last night's activities. Of course, here at the top, break it down. Broncos' chiefs take aways. Not a bad day, not a great day. Not a great week one. Quite frankly, week one is either for me. It's either really easy or really hard. Unfortunately, it's been really hard. The last couple of weeks, we will make some adjustments. Speaking of fantasy, we'll play a little by-low, sell high. Very, very complicated with only one game in the books, but I do have some recommendations that I think are viable and realistic and not overreacting. Basically, we might overreact once or twice on these, but it's hard not to, quite frankly,

but I do have a good list of players. I do feel pretty good about coming out a week one who didn't exactly go off. And of course, vice versa. Our guy Steven O'Rourke of Fantasy Poets, data in the data mining room as we speak, mining out data nuggets for week two. So he'll pop on at one 30. Then we'll finish off the program here with my look at top 10 waiver wire pickups, a little complicated out there on the waiver wire. I'm actually adding one that I'll, I'll tack on at the end. It's not in the graphic, but it's a tight end that I had a pretty good vibe about late in the preseason and he did have a very, very good week one. Make sure you download the prop points podcast on Apple Spotify, wherever you get your pods. Well, let's break it down. Like I said, not a bad day. I did get a little too desperate with one of my picks, but we do go to and out on the leans with the, the bow next got to love that because we went with over 0.5

or 0.5 interceptions and my man through a pick burial in the game. I'm like, thank you very much. Wish I would have taken, I mean, I can't come on here and take all unders. Although maybe I should because they would be victorious. But I did go under on Courtland Sutton at 41.5 and then the brush art Smith over was correct in my thinking, but it was a little too much of a try hard situation. I was desperate. I thought the game I told you I said I was going to get weird and we dig in a little weird. That one didn't work out. I will say, you know, I was going off of Andy Reads history of being a little hesitant to put rookies out there in past protection. You know, brush art Smith is caught like 25 balls last year. It's not like he's done nothing in this league. He's on the roster is on the sideline there, but they opted to play the rookie Emmett Johnson. So that bodes really well. I thought he ran well and pretty hard. Only average three yards per carry, but he did exactly what I thought would would happen. I thought they would run the rock a ton with Ken Walker

as they did. We won that over. I thought they'd sprinkle in, you know, the change up and throw a couple of balls to him. That's exactly what happened, but it turns out it was Emmett Johnson. Not that I expected anything from brush art Smith. I'm like, dude, just catch one ball for seven. Obviously, I don't even think the dude got a snap. So that bodes well for Emmett Johnson. We definitely know who the handcuff is to Kenneth Walker. What a performance though by Ken Walker, shocking performance by the Kansas City chiefs on a variety of fronts. I mean, patting the homes. He goes over. I mean, that's how counterintuitive this, this game was and in some respects here, you know, pat my homes coming off in ACL. It's like, oh, yeah, play the over on his rushing yards in week one against a very tough defense. Well, that did hit. We tried out the Travis Kelsey anytime, touchdown. Why? Because there was nothing to choose from. I mean, very little. I could have gone with the Ken Walker, like maybe two touchdowns. Of course, that wouldn't have hit. So we did what we had to do.

And I was watching him running into the end zone as like watching paint try on that 59 yard. I'm like, he's not going to make it any didn't. For a second down, I'm like, oh, oh, maybe he goes. Shout out to the grinder. Tom Braille, he was on that under on Raci Rice as well. That was a pretty easy win. We probably, you know, like I said, probably should have went under on everything. I still worry a little bit about their receiving core. I mean, I was never an Xavier worthy guy. I was this year because I, you know, I saw his stock plummet. I'm like, all right, now we're talking 125 picks into a draft. Maybe I'll take a shot on Xavier worthy. They are going to run the ball now, which I do believe will in turn lead to big past past plays. And it might they took one shot to Taekwondo. But clearly, they are going to be committed to running the rock. So I'm not saying trade for Xavier worthy. But I think he's going to be in a position to make some big splash plays problem with Xavier worthy.

One of the problems I have with him coming out, why didn't like him? I didn't track the deep all all that well. Taekwondo and Thornton tracks it pretty darn well. Not much else going on there. I will say, of course, Raci look pretty good on his touchdown. But that that was about it. But clearly, when they do throw, he needs to be the glue that holds it all together along with Mr. Travis Kelsey. Then over for the Broncos boy, it's, you know, I'm sure a lot of people saw the quote or sought on TV or read it that Sean Peyton advised his wife to draft Jalen Waddle. I actually was not in on Jalen Waddle. He was actually on my dirty 30 list. I wasn't really feeling it. I took a shot last night, unfortunately. And boy, he had a horrible game. I mean, as bad as it gets, uh, unbelievable. Only had three targets though. So the passing attack was completely grounded. That's three standalone national games in a row now Wednesday,

Thursday and Monday in which one of the offenses was completely non competitive, non functional. And that throws a monkey wrench into the entire equation. So no real big takeaways. I did mention Pat Bryant when I was talking about court with Sutton yesterday on the show. I took his under and a lot of my reasoning was in fact, Pat Bryant didn't have the courage to go over on Bryant. But that would have been a, a ballsy play and a good play. And Pat Bryant looked good early. Of course, he was a complete non factor after that. Not sure if he got hurt or anything like that. Uh, four for 42. I wouldn't even be that excited about picking him up though. They do spread that ball around. Uh, Troy Franklin was out there as well. Only had one target. And I don't buy Evan Ingram. He did look pretty good. I mean, you could probably do worse, but it's just a week to week proposition in this passing attack. They're spreading the ball around. Sean Payton's got a new favorite receiver every week. And Bonix is not very good.

Uh, and shout out to Steve Spagnolo and the Chief's defense. That was an incredible performance, divisional opponent and all that. So I get it. But that was, that was rough. That wasn't a lot of fun. So onward and upward to week number two in the national football league. Very excited about Thursday's game. We got a total over 50. So we should finally get some offense and we should finally hit some overs in that game. Uh, before we take the first time out of the program, we're going to start doing this on a Tuesday. Our guide Jeff Moller resident physician over at fantasypoints.com does a very excellent and comprehensive look at the key injuries. Along with the outlook of prognosis. So let's get started and rip through this real quick. Josh Allen had a right hand finger injury expected back for week two, which is Thursday. Kyla Murray, obviously he's in the concussion protocol projecting a week two or three return kind of feels like a three return. So we're probably looking at Carson Wentz who does love throwing it to Justin Jefferson more on him later.

Dylan Samson for the Browns injured his knee and he's going to be out at least a few weeks. A week three or five return. You would think that's good news for Quinch on joke and unfortunately, a rocket Sanders was playing on passing down snaps once Sanders. Samson left the game. So Quinch on joke and still kind of stuck on that early down role with a terrible offense. Jordan Mason for the Minnesota Vikings sore thumb. He has projected return this week or next doesn't seem too serious. Obviously, AJ Brown, and he is projecting a week eight to 12 return. So I already already logged the win in the Vison betting guide that came out in July. I had the under on a J. Brow. That's that's one of the first times that's ever happened to me. Lad Maconkey will be talking more about lad later on in the program, but there's a chance. It's a tough one here because it is an organ injury or is it just a bruise. We'll get more information, but right now there is a chance he does returning week two, but otherwise we're looking at week two to five.

Crystal Lave the back injury. That's a week two return. He kind of downplayed it. Zay flowers, of course, with the hamstring tough call, but he did say if it were a playoff game, he could have played unbelievable first half for Zay flowers. I was very high on him. Big fantasy flowers. Hopefully he can return soon like this week or week three. Jalen Koker did suffer an ankle injury. Continued in the state in the game. So he's probably going to be fine. I was very high on him too off to a great start. DJ Moore, right ankle, look like he tweaked it just a little bit, but he did remain in the game expecting him back for the week two game this Thursday. Brian Thomas Jr. was a left shoulder. Now he had a right shoulder injury in college. So that's good. Projecting a week two or three return. Jacobi Lane, the impressive rookie receiver in the Baltimore Ravens with a left wrist fracture. So he's going to be out for. Actually, I cut that off.

I think it's a few weeks. Yeah, and they're going to need reshot bait, but they're going to need Mark Andrews. Alex Pierce, left hand wrist looks like it's okay, protective return in week two, struggling. Of course, week six, perhaps season ending. Chica Conco weeks four to seven. So that's good news for Steph digs who actually look pretty decent in week number one. When we return, we'll do a little by low sell high terms of the fantasy marketplace plays the trade and trade for. First, most people think sports betting is about picking winners.

Welcome back to this Tuesday edition of prop points here on V.S.M.

I'm John Hansen of fantasypoints.com. You hear the name fantasy in the website address there because I am at my core a fantasy person in year number 32 doing this. And a lot of the motivation I get quite frankly is just to help people out and be right. Basically we had a shout out by the way. I'm going to see if I can pull this up right now to a gentleman who was watching the program. Old guy 1956. He was a shout out to him because he tweeted me over the weekend that he had put together his own park parlay card. But he saw the Friday show and he edited the Devon Valle anytime touchdown which boosted it up big time. And he had a $59 bet at one 13 grand. That's and this guy has been following me for 30 years. He's never contacted me until this week.

So shout out to him and that's what it's all about. That's what I'm trying to do. I love being predictive and always being ahead of the curve. And that's why I love this segment. And I've been writing the article for a long long time because you know it's an ebb and flow thing. It's a momentum thing. You know you're up you're down. But you got to look kind of big picture and look for buying opportunities and selling opportunities on the market. All right. Well, well that said let's start with some by-low candidates and full disclosure all summer. I was between two quarterbacks as my top targets Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert. I did settle decisively on Lawrence as my top quarterback target this summer and that's looking great. But I'm also worried about Herbert because you know I did you know give him some love. By the way, it's all about Lad McConkey in that game. That was a worrisome start. No doubt about it. But until lad McConkey got hurt, Justin Herbert was 0.57 fantasy points per dropback that would have been cubic 10 for the week.

So he was fine. He was also top four in quarterback scrambles in week one. So he's still using his legs with the new office. Now I am worried about McConkey. I'm a little worried about their running game. But also let's not over react to week one. It's the first game in the system. I do believe that they'll figure it out. Now maybe maybe the upside is not through the roof. That's clearly Lawrence, which I felt this summer. I actually thought though that maybe Herbert was a little safer. I don't even know about that at this point. And maybe his upside is not through the roof. But if I were like if I had Kyler Murray and I had maybe depth, I would absolutely be looking to acquire Justin Herbert on the cheap because there's a lot of a lot of hate out there on the streets after just one game. Next up, Jeremiah Love. Now I fold this closure. I wasn't feeling warm and fuzzy about drafting love, especially after the injury. So I kind of faded them. I fully expected Tyler L. Gier to leave the Cardinals backfield in week one. And he did. And I feel like expect him to continue to get the ball.

But you know, you can you can produce in a backfield with Tyler L. Gierre holding a pretty beefy role if you're a stud. And then I just wanted to tell you that I'm not a stud. But I'm going to tell you guys we learn from B. John Robinson, love saw two of the backfields, three total carries inside the 10. He had a 10.8 target share that was double, I'll cheer. But most importantly, the vibes and the Cardinals. And I watch all the games. I do a big article on the website, fantasy points.com. Good vibes, bad vibes for all the teams and all the key player. I mean, I really wax poetic about how good the vibes were with the Cardinals and it carried over into week one. They won't be as bad as we thought and looking at Carson Beck late in the season. Next up, Jadair and Price, a little tricky one here. The usage wasn't great. And there is a chance that he kind of ramps up the role as the week's progress. And then when he's ready to kind of take over, that could be when Zach Charbrunet returns. But I still think he looks great.

He ran 11 of the 19 backfield routes in week one. That was a higher percentage than Ken Walker did last week. And most importantly, prices 70% success rate in week one per fantasy points data. That was the third best in all of the NFL of all run him extra to at least 10 carries. So I do think that they're going to be needing him as a look to play without Sam Darnold, by the way, for the next few games up to three to four. Next up, this is a low end guy. I'll go with Kenny Gainwell. They did not pay this man a two year, $14 million contract with 10 million guaranteed to not throw him the ball. That's his role. And the offense will see better days. So I do think Kenny Gainwell is a good one. But Lad McConkey is very intriguing. Now the value is down for reason. He's hurt. But man, watching that game, he looked like a major alpha.

This is pretty ridiculous. McConkey ran around on 90% of the charge of dropbacks before getting hurt. But before that injury, my man had a massive 46.7% target share. That is ridiculous. That is JSN like. So I know our guy Ryan Heath over at fantasy points.com opined all summer that he could be this year's JSN and it looks like he could be right. And if it's not him, it's Luther Burden. That's another player. I was kind of agnostic on, but I wasn't targeting him. I thought he was a little overhyped. But to be perfectly honest, watching the game, I kind of regretted not giving Burden a little bit more love. And I knew that Khalifa Raymond was going to be a factor. We played an over on Khalifa Raymond on Friday show. So I wasn't shocked. But I thought Burden looked good. He did lose a fumble at 68.4% route share. That was a career high. And again, I thought he looked dangerous out there.

He posted a stellar 2.42 yards per route run running the highest routes he's ever run. So like that, I love Jamison Williams as a by-law. Now the drops continue. But if Jamison Williams doesn't start coming around, I know it's only one game, but he's been spotty throughout his career. The lines are in trouble. There's no one else. They lost Khalifa Raymond. There's nobody else there helping them out. So within Al-Manra and Sam in LaPorta. Next up Tyler Warren, he was still, it was ugly. He was still a top four, top three tight end with an 82% route share. They'll be better days. Same with Tucker Craft. They'll be ramping that up. He was only 27th in tight end route share. I thought he moved pretty well, though, especially on the 30 yard and also George Kiddell. He looked good on Thursday. And I think their injuries will obviously have them lean more into Kiddell. Now here's some players I'll trade, not at any cost, but I'm open to trading James Cook.

And I'll just give you the Cliff Notes version. The bills look like they're going to be a passing team this year. And if so, that's a problem that would make Cook a little bit more touchdown dependent. They love Ty Johnson in the passing game. So I'm not sure we can count on all those touchdowns. 28th that he scored the previous two years. Travis ETN, I was not into him at all. He was on the dirty 30 less now. He did catch seven and nine targets, but I don't know if he's the goal I'm back because Kendra Miller looked like that. And Alvin Camarra will be back. I have, you know, the Vikings are my team. They're driving me a little Kuku here last couple of years, but I didn't feel warm and fuzzy watching Carson Wentz. Obviously the Kyler Murray experience, very small sample was nightmarish. So I don't know. I think it could be an up and down struggle all year. So I'm not opposed to trading Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison again. Jefferson balls with Carson Wentz. So keep that in mind. So don't give him away over his last six games with Wentz, Jefferson averages 9.8 targets

a game and 90 fought five yards receiving per game. That's a lot. Roman Dunez, now he was banged up. We don't expect Khalif Raymond to be, you know, that much of a factor. But Rome is a little more miss than hit because he's a little more schematic based and all that. So he needs to be against a team that's heavy and man coverage and not most not many teams are Devonte Adams. I may be overreacting just a little bit. I thought it looked a little lifeless in week number one. There's a lot of data points here in terms of last year he scored six touchdowns with only one wide receiver on the field and he played a decent amount of snaps in that environment. That dried up in week one. So I would be very concerned that Devonte Adams, he might be a little washed lingering hamstring problems as well, very, very touchdown dependent. And then last but not least Harold Vannon could be back in business with Shadour. But I don't feel warm and fuzzy about him with the Sean Watson.

And Vannon in week one had only a 7.1% first read target share. He was at least double that in 15 of 16 games last year and it does look like they're going to look to get the ball to Casey Concepcion near the middle of the meal that a lot of scrimmage and 10 yards and in, which is obviously where Harold Vannon does a lot of his damage.

You're watching prop points with the guru John Hansen on Vs and these sports betting network. A Tuesday edition of prop points barrels on here. Welcome back. Steven Arork of fantasy points data senior film analysts has just been pulled from the data mining area and he's ready to rock and roll. Thank God for Steven Arork. I don't know how we get through Tuesday's without taking a look at some tasty data points

for the upcoming week and he's on the X machine at call me. Steve Oh well Steve we'll get right into it because I was very high on your guy Dave Montgomery or your former guy or big lions guy in Houston. We're off to a great start. Little sluggish though on the ground and this week up against Cincinnati. We do have it's in Houston. Houston is a two and a half point favorite. So the books are expecting this puppy to be close and it looks like you're giving a lot of respect to Dexter Lawrence and that Bengal front. Yeah. I mean I think David Montgomery is going to continue to be a threat to score on every game. He's going to be that goal line back. He's going to get used in the passing game. But I just think that what the Houston Texas really struggled with was they struggled to block that block that interior defensive line of the bills this week. Dave Montgomery as much as he you know fantasy he went off. He's still in the average about three yards per carry and his yards before contact for

a time to where pretty low like sitting around like 1.6. The bankers did really good on in the yards before contact per attempt metric. They were what they gave up 1.1 yards in week one against the buck in the years. And I think that middle of the defensive line is short up quite a bit. So I think it's going to be kind of another game where Dave Montgomery is kind of pounding and pounding his head into the back of the wall. But that that also I think he's going to be a threat receiving the bangles gave up. They had eight past attempts to running backs against them from the buck in the years. And that was a trend that was there last year too where against the bangles running backs were targeted at a decent amount. So I think Dave Montgomery rushing it'll be a tough it'll be tough sliding. I don't think he's going to get a heavy yardage. But I think receiving that's where he could see more of his yardage outpost for the week. Now this summer for the Green Bay Packer receiving core. I mean, I was kind of you know agnostic on Matthew golden. I was Christian Watson was my number one player target of any position.

But golden look good in week one. So did Watson of course, but golden did look good. So maybe he is a breakout candidate here in year number two. You are looking at him up against the jets who it looks like just lost make up. It's Patrick. So what do you have on golden in week two? That's a pretty bad old line in Green Bay right now. Yeah, the old lines tough, but that's also a product of the absolute chaos that Minnesota threw at it. This week, I mean, Minnesota's game plan was absolutely insane mugging up the, I mean, I thought talk about it later too. There's the way they mugged up the way they blitzed it was something that you don't see in the modern NFL anymore at all. So that was fun to watch. But with that, Matthew golden against two high coverage, he was kind of there go to guy. He saw eight targets against two high coverage and average 2.78 yards per out run against Minnesota. The jets lean too high in week one. And I imagine they'll kind of do the same against Green Bay Green Bay's rushing attack. Obviously looked really bad. I think the jets will want them to try to try to keep everything underneath, try to play

too high and play the pass more often. I think Green Bay's probably going to have to lean into the pass a little bit more often because that run game with Martian Lloyd is kind of anemic and doesn't look, doesn't look amazing right now. I think Matthew golden continues to be a focal point. I like coming into this year, his separation metrics were awesome, but it was always a question of like, can he kind of fine too and where he's hitting his depths and everything. And I thought in week one, he showed refinement in that areas of like hitting his spots more consistently and the separation still showing up. So I think that he continues to be a threat in this offense. And as long as that run game continues to be bad, they're going to be forced to put it in there. And I think again, golden, golden Watson drive that offense over the top. And I think golden will have another big week this week. Steven O'Rourke on the line with us, senior film analyst over at Fantasy Points on the X machine at call me Steve O seven. Well, we've got the Carolina Panthers in Atlanta, Carolina favored on the road against the

seemingly hapless Falcons, at minus 2.5, a total of 43.5. Falcons are not hapless in that backfield, though, man, B. John Robinson looked incredible. And the Carolina Panther run defense was incredibly disappointing. I thought the defense overall had some decent personnel, but they had a real struggle stopping the run last year and currently this year. Yeah, to try and the continues, they were, you know, one of the bottom three in yards per carry last year and that continues into this year, they gave up 7.6 yards per carry against the Bears. Atlanta probably looks to be without two again this week, which means Cooper Rush, probably maybe Michael Pentix, but even then, I think this is kind of, you know, Atlanta tries to control the game when they have a ball, when they have the ball, the offense using B. John on the ground. And you know, B. John average 4.89 yards per carry against the Panthers last year and had a 50% explosive run rate. I think that continues into this year. And B. John just keeps on trucking. I think he's kind of a layup to go over 100 yards.

It's 20 plus carries this week. By the way, not for nothing, but you know, the Fantasy Points betting podcast that came out today. I'm making a couple of spread picks. I went one to one last week, no big one, but I did take over 50.5 for the Cowboys and the DC commanders Dallas minus four in big D. They usually play well there, but that secondary. Oh boy, not good. Much like last year early in the season, when everyone's kind of like looking at everybody else like what, what happened? You know, uh, Steph Diggs. The day before the separation data was pretty darn good. So Steph Diggs this week, you're, you're liking it against Dallas. Yeah, I mean, Dallas is another defense that is just kind of showing the same trends that they had last year. They may have switched up personnel. They switched up how they're lining up on defense, but it doesn't change the fact that outside of Kenny Clark that front seven struggles to get pressure, struggles to stop the

run. And in the secondary, they're susceptible over the middle because of sub bar linebacker play and, you know, somewhat shoddy secondary at times. I think Stephon Diggs kind of showed to be a reliable target for Jaden Daniels. He's kind of the guy to keep him on task and on pace in that game. And because Diggs lined up in the slot, about 65% of the time in week one, I think he, you know, kind of operates in what was that like Zach Erts roll a little bit in that off in the Washington offense last year, working out the slot working underneath. I think Diggs does that again this week against Dallas and has a big week against some and did I think I think that watching offense continues to poke holes in what is a, I think, a shoddy Dallas defense. Yeah. I mean, the rookie Antonio Williams, you know, I'm not going to bang the table form as a waiver wire guy, but that is a good, young ascending rookie who can play inside and out. He definitely showed well in his debut. Final one for you.

And I'm still just LaGubrius over here about Colston, Loveland, not that I was into him as a pick. I actually preferred Tyler Warren who had his own disconcerting week one, although he at least scored, but I'm on the Viesin tailgate show on Sunday morning talking about the explosiveness of the matchup and how I loved how Ben Johnson was going for the scoring title and was going to keep his foot on the gas. And he did 59 points and a goose egg from Colston, Loveland. So maybe talk me off the ledge a little bit. And what are you seeing with Loveland this week? Yeah, I think this is going to be a product of how the Vikings play defense like a kind of alluded to earlier. They went really heavy chaos mode against the Packers in week one. They mugged up their alignments on pass plays on 65% of their defensive dropbacks. And they blitzed on pretty much every dropback that they mugged up, which, you know, like

I said, 65% because of that that leaves a lot of opening in the middle of the field. I think that this is a week where Loveland kind of starts to come into play. He still had an 84% route share last week, which points to him being on the field a lot. His target rate wasn't huge, but I think because that middle of the field is a place that needs to be attacked against the Vikings. And you saw what Tucker crafted and his, in being able to generate yak and his receptions on Sunday. I think Loveland is going to be kind of used the same. He's going to be used in line. He's going to be used out of the slot. And I think he's going to be an answer, a hot answer along with Luther Bird. And but I think Loveland really matches up well against those safeties and linebackers in Minnesota. So I think Loveland gets back on pace this week. I think he's going to be able to see a little bit more target and we started to see why he was drafted so highly in fantasy and why he was so highly regarded going into this year. Well, we have a less than a minute, but I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you because you are out of the Detroit area.

You are a Lions guy. Buffalo minus four and a half. That's fine. My question is the total 54. That is a big one. Are we going to get there on Thursday night? I think so. I think that Buffalo's defense, the mid, the, they showed out well against the interior with the interior against the run and in Houston. But I think the offensive line in Detroit is a lot better. I think they'll beat him up on the ground. I think, you know, they'll be able to throw the ball and it'll go both ways. I think Buffalo will push the pace a lot because of what Detroit showed where they can get a little bit gas. Detroit has the prevents you to go through and out quite a bit. I think it turns into a shootout and it's going to be a lot of offensive, a lot of offensive sessions. Steven Eroerck, fantasy points, a data on the X machine at Call Me, Steve O. Great stuff Steve.

You're watching Prop Points with the Guru. John Hampson on Veecent, Vee Sports Petty Network. Final segment here on a Tuesday edition of Prop Points on Veecent. Tuesday, big fantasy day. We've already had a segment outlining some players to trade for. On the cheap and to trade away. Hopefully selling high, buying low. It's what it's all about.

Doing the work on the waiver wire. And I like how they call it. We all call it working the waiver wire. Because sometimes it does feel like an actual job. It is a real pain in the buttocks. Often to line up all these players. But we got your back here on this program every Tuesday with kind of weed and through all the noise and pulling out the best 10 prospects. And of course, numerous own of course. If you listen to us all summer. You would have rostered K-Law in black because he was my favorite run back sleeper on the board. And boy did he look good? Did I expect him to out carry Christian McCaffrey? No, I did not. But they were very. Pretty adamant all summer and off season that they were going to pull back from McCaffrey's workload. And it worked unbelievably because blackout carried CMC. But CMC was shot out of a cannon in the second half. It is very easy to see him getting some short touchdowns along with about 10 opportunities the game.

So he could have standalone value. But more importantly, he should be rostered every single league. He is a Christian McCaffrey injury away from being a potential league winner. Next up, it's Tyler Schuck. We love Schuck this summer. Schedule. I've looked at it. It's littered with beatable non-threatening matchups. After they faced Baltimore this week, which by the way could be another shootout. So I think he's easily a top 15 guy going forward. They run off a ton of plays. Ugly first half, but he showed a lot of stick to it. And this and through for over four in the yards. And he was one of the better producers on the board. This is going to continue. And especially when they get Jordan Tyson back. Next up, I'll go Caleb Douglas. It might be a little volatile and a very weak passing attack. But he looked like a number of players. In a week one 90, one percent snap share. He immediately produced five for 94 and seven targets with a very promising 26 percent target share. We need Millick. Well, it's to play a little bit better.

But you could you might be able to count on Caleb Douglas every week now. Going forward for at least seven, eight, nine, ten fantasy points in a PPR. Next up, it is our guy. Devoteable. And eight nine, ten fantasy points in a PPR. Next up, it is our guy. Devon Veyle is only owned in seven percent of Yahoo leagues. But you know, I was very into him this summer as a pick. And a very into him in week one. I thought he looked really good last year. Big body in the middle of the field was a good schematic matchup. He had a team high 91 percent snap share. Top 15 for wide receiver for the week. I was also looking at our average separation data. Very good. Believe it or not. So he might not be touchdown dependent in this past happy offense that runs off a lot of plays. You know, my my threshold is like, can you average ten points a game? I definitely think he can do that when he's off to a good start with the touchdown in week one. Next up, Malik Willis. I was very high on Malik Willis, you know, as a late round pick, basically, at quarterback.

It was a little uglier than I expected. But he was still a top 15 guy with 17.7 points. He's not going to rush for a touchdown every week. But he did, you know, have a somewhat promising 8.1 YPA promising because the game looked bad. I mean, it looked horrible against the Raiders. But it was just week one. And again, the back pocket cheat code is always going to be running all around the field like he does. Next up, it's Dibo Samuel. He's just reported to 49er camp in decent shape. I know there are a lot of people thought he was fat with an F. But, you know, looks pretty good to me. He put up 648 slash one on seven targets, 21 percent target share, but the, you know, his snaps were really low. So there's no question in my mind that he'll be needed going forward with his odds dribbling out for at least a month. but he also had three of his targets were designed.

So that's what you like with Debo. I've actually had conversations with Kyle Shanahan about Debo, you know, because that was a big Debo guy. So I'm asking him about like, can't he use this guy as a joke or all over the field? In every role, he was like, absolutely. That's why we drafted him. Next up, Jalen McMillan, he was inactive in week one. I do believe that the bucks showed us that they needed him because Chris Godwin might have some issues there. He might be close to being washed. I don't wanna say he's washed, but he's over 30 now as multiple leg injuries. Doesn't move like he used to. Meanwhile, McMillan, you know, he's young. He closed out his rookie season a couple of seasons ago with eight huddies and he had between 51 and 75 yards every week for like seven weeks in a row. So I do think he can consistently produce a bigger mayfield. Michael Mayer, obviously he moves up the priority list if you roster Brock Bowers, but they do love Mayer.

I'm not sure if they resigned him heading into week one because they were a little worried about Bowers or because they love Mayer or maybe both because he is basically a tight end one. He's like Jason Witten. He's certainly not as flashy as Brock Bowers, but you could do a lot worse. Little underwhelming in week number one, but I do believe that you can do a lot worse than Michael Mayer. Next up, it's Mr. Kolee Freeman. Again, we saw this coming. I took the over on Kolee Freeman on Friday's show. Right now he looks like a player who can in fact give you immediate PPR relief in deeper leagues, eight to 10 fantasy points or realistic, but the same guy who clued me in on Kolee Freeman, this summer Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune shout out to him. I've done him for 20 years. It did my podcast because I'm out there getting information. And he said, Hey, Kolee Freeman is going to be a factor. Now he also said that they are going to be spreading the ball around.

So, you know, one week it was Kolee Freeman. They'll be Roma Dunes A weeks. Luther Burton, I do feel good about, but I'm not convinced that Kolee Freeman is going to be this, you know, guy who breaks leagues out there. I think again, give me a solid 10 points in AP PR. Next up on my list. I actually have other guys that I can mention here as well, by the way, is Mr. Don Tavian Wicks. Only one week, but there are a lot of guys low end players on my target lists who did well a week one like Don Tavian Wicks, like Devon Vélé and Jalen Coker, by the way, to name three. But Wicks look good. Our guy, the grinder was in on the over. I didn't want to steal it. So I went under on Devon Tse Smith, which they both hit. He averaged a very solid 1.85 yards per rat run in his first 46 games with the Packers. And that was despite him having a problem with his hands. Now, from all accounts in Philadelphia and training camp,

the hands were good. So if we have good hands, we probably have something here with Don Tavian Wicks, because that was the main thing slowing him down and keeping him off the field in Green Bay. And by the way, he played with Sean Manion, their current offensive coordinator in Green Bay. So that's probably one of the reasons why he's a little ahead of McCoy Lemon. And as much as I love Devon Tse Smith, Don Tavian Wicks is a little bit more of a prototypical number one wide receiver. He's a down field guy, pretty acrobatic in the red zone. So there's several paths in which Don Tavian Wicks can make a serious impact. Now, one other name that I wanted to throw out that's not on the graphic here is Patty Fryer-Muth. Now, I was very high on Michael Pittman going into the season. And we did hit a Pittman prop this week, barely, kind of barely. But it was a little underwhelming, even if you're looking at the box course, like, oh, Pittman led the team in receiving, which he did.

But I wonder about Pat Fryer-Muth, maybe being what I thought Michael Pittman would be, which is that short area target near the line of scrimmage and all that good stuff. He played on 73% of the snaps, which was higher than the average is the last couple of seasons. So I also think that, you know, not only, I mean, he's good. I can see Aaron Rogers, you know, really gravitating toward a guy like Pat Fryer-Muth. But I also think it's only one week, but their running game is not very good. So maybe the Steelers are going to be a little bit more of a passing team and Aaron Rogers is not doing very well throwing down the field. So it's going to be taken in Duncan. And maybe it's to Pittman and Fryer-Muth. I know DK actually led them in targets. But just throwing that out there, I got a good vibe on Fryer-Muth late in the season. I put that up in my vibe article over at FinacyPoints.com. And here we are one weekend, very promising start for Patty F.
