00:00All right. Let's go to the quarterback position here. I'm not, don't shake your head at me.

00:10Josh Allen is at 9,100. I don't want to spend there, but Jaden Daniels is 8,500 and Baker

00:18Mayfield 8,200. I'm kind of liking that, but I want to hear from you, Joe. Let's go through

00:22quarterbacks for DFS today. Yeah, look, Baker Mayfield in a good spot here, 8,200, but again,

00:27a little pricey here. So you're going to put him in the same lineup with Evans and

00:31Bucky Irving. You're gonna have to find some cheaper pieces. Now, Jalen McMillan would

00:35be that one too, but then that's really heavily invested in one offense in one game. So we

00:39might have to pivot to some other spots here. Jordan Love at 7,800, an interesting one because

00:44last time he played the Vikings, he had a huge day. Now I think this game might play

00:48a little tighter the second time around. You know, sometimes you can't just copy and paste

00:52what you saw last time. And I think that Minnesota Vikings defense has been so good and really

00:56found its stride. And I don't know if this is a marquee matchup. This is a really fun

01:01game this afternoon at four o'clock. So we're all going to be paying attention to that one.

01:05Sam Darnold on the other side of that game too. No slouch. I think he is going to be

01:08once again, undervalued. If you're looking for some value, a quarterback, I give you

01:13a Mason Rudolph at 6,700. It's not going to be pretty all the time, but there's gonna

01:17be points in there. And he has shown you too, that some of those cheaper connectivity points,

01:21we talked about the tiny time touchdown scores last week for Calvin Ridley, for Nick Westbrook

01:26and for Kenya, they both hit at plus 180, both of them. So it's another situation, even

01:31Chigga Conquo, another pairing too, where you can go with Mason Rudolph and Conquo,

01:35who really seems to be a favorite target of Mason Rudolph. And that allows you to get

01:40a little bit more, I think, heavily stacked into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the Minnesota

01:45Vikings potentially, or even, you know, some of these other offenses that you might be

01:48interested in in week 17. It's almost like a heavy bye week because you had so many games

01:53already played. You had Thursday night football, three Saturday games and two Christmas games

01:57and a partridge in a pear tree. It's been a lot. Okay. It's been a lot of football.

02:01So we don't have an expanded Sunday to really go after things. So the condensed slate sometimes

02:07is a little bit easier to control and there's less variance because there's less teams playing.

02:12So that's something to keep in mind. This is a really good week if you do want to dip

02:15back into the DFS pool because the options are a little limited. So if you're really

02:19smart with your budget, you can actually make some money today.

02:23You mentioned Mason Rudolph and you mentioned Chigga Conquo. He is actually on this list

02:27here for tight ends priced at $5,400. And I think that's the value. But Brock Bowers

02:32at $7,600 is probably going to get a lot of the attention. Joe, talk to us about the tight

02:36end position in DFS week 17.

02:39Yeah. Jonu Smith has been really good too recently, but with Tuatunga-Villaloa out,

02:44I think that's another one too. We're going to pivot away from Bowers. Again, cost prohibitive.

02:48I'm looking for quarterbacks that can score offense, put up points. That's what I'm looking

02:54for today. Defenses this late in the year tend to quit, especially the ones that don't

02:58have anything to play for. Right. So they're just looking not to get hurt. So that's why

03:01again, I'm targeting Carolina, targeting teams that are really out of it, have nothing to

03:05play for.

03:06Chigga Conquo at $5,400, really nice one. TJ Hawkinson at $5,702 is really interesting.

03:11So if you have Addison in one lineup, maybe Hawkinson in another. Instead, you can see

03:15one of those guys having a big game there and benefiting from the Justin Jefferson attention

03:19we talked about. Jake Ferguson at $5,300, also appealing. I think the linebacking core

03:25of the Eagles is the one spot that's still a little weaker than the front and the secondary.

03:29I think the levels of that defense, it's the soft middle of the Eagles that you can attack

03:33a little bit. And you saw Jayden Dienels do that last week. So tight end, there's some

03:37value. A Conquo is the one that I'm really looking forward to. Again, the double digit

03:41targets, they are hard to ignore.
