00:00Let's move to a wide receiver on a team must win Jalen McMillan available in just over half of the

00:07leagues here. While everyone's looking at Mike Evans chasing history, McMillan may be a pivot.

00:11Joe? Yeah, McMillan was a player that if you recall, I was very high on going into the season,

00:16a lot of positive buzz around camp. And then unfortunately, he just didn't see the light of

00:20day for the first, you know, six weeks of the season. Then he did see some opportunity. Then

00:25he got hurt. Then the bye weeks came and he kind of was working his way back. He looks healthy now.

00:29And the last couple of weeks, seven targets, six targets, seven targets. He's working in this

00:33offense. Basically, he is averaging four and a half catches a game and a touchdown a game too.

00:38He's got four touchdowns in the last three games. And he's seeing this sort of workload because Mike

00:44Evans is seeing the attention he's seeing. Everybody knows Mike Evans is chasing that

00:48thousand yard streak. It's very important to him, the organization, to Baker Mayfield. It's probably

00:53got incentives in his contract, I would imagine too. So that leaves Jalen McMillan as a guy in DFS,

01:00as a guy who is going to have some touchdown equity and potential this week too, that I think

01:06you should pay attention to. And the fact that he has been so good with catching those touchdowns

01:10is not something you should dismiss. If you're looking for any time touchdown scorers today,

01:16that's another one too, that I think you might want to circle looking at his number. I'm going

01:19to bring that up for you right now in the Panthers-Bucks game. Bucky Irvings at minus 165.

01:24We talked about how good that is. Mike Evans minus 115. But then Jalen McMillan at plus 145,

01:30a much better number there. And considering McMillan's nose for the end zone the last

01:34couple of weeks, probably the better wager in terms of value. All right. Give me a logical line

01:41for NWI, Nick Westbrook-Akine, because he's available in seven out of 10 leagues. What does

01:47he do today? Again, we're hunting touchdowns with him. Probably something like three catches for

01:5630-something yards and a touchdown, hopefully. That's what you're looking for. And if he does

02:01that, that helps you. If he does that, then you are looking at a guy who's going to get you 12

02:06points. And that's important there. And that's what we're looking for. And in that same game,

02:10Tim, Chinga Conquo might be another one too, where you might even feel better starting him in a full

02:15point PPR because the volume is going his way. Mason Rudolph is checking down to the tight end.

02:21He's using Chinga Conquo. The Jacksonville Jaguars give up a ton of yards through the air,

02:26so why not keep going back to that? Well, Conquo was a sleeper tight end going into the season.

02:31For whatever reason, Will Levis just paid him very little mind. He really had only one game

02:37in the first 10 weeks of the season, over 50 yards receiving. Last two weeks, both been over 50 yards.

02:43So something has changed here with the philosophy and with the quarterback. And now Chinga Conquo

02:47was another one of those guys that we can look for. Again, I love the overarms prop 37 and a

02:51half. I'm smashing that. And if you're looking for anytime touchdowns for Chinga Conquo, another guy

02:55too, that you might be able to wager on because that number is going to be a little bit better

03:00than some of the others. Plus 300 anytime touchdown for Chinga.
