All systems go clear What's going on everybody welcome to the cash game countdown this is the first time doing the cash game count down as we've done the past couple of years it's been who and I talking cash games on Friday this is now going to be a solo show it's going to be pre recorded and it's not going to be that long it's going to be maybe 10 minutes maybe 15 minutes there's no time limit but it's going to be quick we're going to go position by position like we have in the past through draft Kings and we'll go position by position through Fandall this is a first look though this is my pretty much first look for the main slates all of our content will be up on the site Friday Saturday
everything will be up and then of course Sunday morning Tampa hoop and myself definitely should tune into that show that shows not just cash games as tournaments but you get all of our thoughts that's where all my thoughts game by game player by player come on the Sunday show so we're going to establish a little bit of a player pool if I think there's a lock like rock powers is ruled out this week Michael mayor is a very strong plan both sides sites probably a lock we'll talk about that but it's mainly a player pool and then you will get four core plays on draft Kings and Fandall for cash games from myself over here NFL go down to the Slate station and you also be able to see Tambo and Ham or no Tambo and Belman do draft Kings player or position by position quarterback running back receiver tie down they add notes and establish kind of like a player pool to have who has his actual draft Kings player pool with ownership there also core ports from a lot of the guys on draft Kings hand has you covered on Fandall the stone 2.0 a very cool new tool that we have over here convertible hand build can plug in some people see how much sell or you have left
remaining ownership real on the value report very few sharper out there then our man Rio obviously the normal stone that we will go and that we share usually on Sunday mornings projections ownership on both sides showed on content everything you need to be successful in the NFL streets right here ship a nation dot com how you get in you can get in for 3 49 for the whole year again that's all showed on content the Thanksgiving Slates Christmas late access to the discord access to Sabers in definitely the best deal out there compared to the industry everything you need is in this one package also do have some other ones though bottom left join the nation you can get in if you have not tried us at all I think trying out the day is for 19 dollar trial is pretty smart because you'll get called football on Saturday you get MMA on Saturday there's still NASCAR going on there's still MLB going on of course NFL you get Sabers in with that you get access to the discord but if you do want a chance to win 45,000 plus in cash and prizes you have to be an all access
member so that's a monthly right here a starter monthly an annual member or an NFL only member again which is up here 3 49 you do have single sport options as well everything you need we have you covered and we have different options for you to join over here at ship a nation let's share our partner optimizer in Sabersom again a lot of those packages do have Sabersom is an add on you can also just add do NFL with Sabersom Sabersom doesn't even offer single sport packages so another added benefit over here again we're going to go draft kings and then fandal position by position I just want to say like a disclaimer again this is Friday a lot can change to Sunday I had my worst NFL year last year and part of that is I've kind of been stuck in my own process kind of for the past been playing DFS for over a decade I don't think I've made enough changes or at least try to think about my process see what other people are doing in a just more in the fly so this year and maybe I go a little more I know ball stuff you obviously need to know projections where's right now going to be sharing when we go through this Sabersom
and ship a nation we're going to take the average of both of our projections the average of the ownership again if you're on the starter or above pack you do have that option I also subscribe other sites in the industry to look at what people are doing other projections look at my own stuff so this is going to be my player pool as of now on Friday changes can be made though before Sunday and again get over to ship a nation and check out the updated core plays if stuff changes Sunday morning and the changes late I will take the chap but always be refreshing that yeah again I think the big overall news is a Brock Bowers was ruled out I believe it was Monday or Tuesday completely changes the whole slate it was already very soft in terms of salary now we got a very strong tight end in mayor at only 2.9K I think he's a lot gets tight end on both sites and yeah again two nine so that means we will have a lot of salary to spend and we can't even spend at some positions like 7K is the most at quarterback couple running backs in the tier of the row and we've already seen pukka and JSN and stuff play so only so many receivers we can spend on Michael mayor is a lock then we're going to go to the quarterback position I'm
going to always sort by value which is projected my projection and the salary baked into it so you divide projection and salary we have Justin Herbert again when I'm saying we that's the average of ship a nation saber sim very bullish on him I mean if this is the numbers we're looking at it's hard for me to get away from Herbert it's a little closer gap for me personally on the numbers but I still think I mean you get the nut matchup against the cardinals who are going to be awful this year charges implied for 29 points almost I think he's a very strong option if you needed to save 300 to Trevor Lawrence or 600 to Kyler Murray I'd be fine with it right now I'm planning on playing Herbert he's not a stone cold lock though but yeah like Herbert alone we have projected as the highest even above burrow hurts Lamar even guys price above him so great matchup more than likely right now if the slate locked I'd be playing Herbert going to the running back position because we all have all that money to spend I mean man sorting by projection Gibbs projection is out of this world you can see ownership 50% highest on the slate I think he's a clear lock and load and then from there you have to play two
running backs obviously on draft kings which the option to play a third be Jean looks strong I think we have enough money on the slate again when you play Meyer we'll get to some other value throughout I think parent Gibbs and be Jean is very easy to do it feels very nice to best running back in football if you don't want to go there I think H&N's fine at 7k against Vegas I mean maybe a little better than fine this is one of the best spots till I have all year in the dome I think he is a strong play good with JT and I think Brees set 6 to Marshawn Lloyd I'm probably cutting it off about right here I guess Henry and their Kennery and sake one are fine but probably not getting there in cash games but I think it's mainly Gibbs and then probably be Jean but if not be Jean probably H&N and then JT in play but I don't think we're going all three spend up running backs Brees Hall a better price tag and then Marshawn Lloyd with no Josh Jacobs week one looks pretty good as well at 4,800 to the receiver position a little more difficult and I think the first two but again another big beneficiary with no Brock Bauer's is Trey Tucker only 4,000
grades out very well under the point per dollar column number two Jamar Chase as the highest as the highest salary receiver on the slate he's coming in number two with a very good projection right here so I think he is strong I do prefer I will prioritize Gibbs over Chase but a decision might be Chase and be Jean if you only if you only play one there next we got Chris Alave Ladmukonky T Higgins Garrett Wilson I'm fun with all these guys I'm in raw sure I mean the receiving room is just so under price like Lads should not be 5,9 going down a little bit Devantes Miss should not be 6,6 K Parker Washington should not be 5,6 K Zay flowers 6,4 there's just so much mid tier goodness that are under price so I do think receiver is tough Trey Tucker looks really strong for value Chase really strong if I'm spending up but a plethora of guys in between that I'm good playing and I meant to say from the top this is I'm not used to doing solo shows it's actually going a little better than I put then I envision so I'll take that but yeah third take ups long away or sometimes I run out of things to say or whatever I'm not used to this I appreciate you hanging along though I do appreciate the like button as well helps us out a ton
tight end I already touched on at Michael Mayer I do think that like if you are trying to play Jamar chase B-Juan and Gibbs it is possible but for flex you'd have to go a March on Lloyd or maybe even cheaper tight and strong I do think double tight and could be in play this week in cash games Dalton Sholtz, Jawan Johnson, Laporta Andrews, Hockinson I'm fine with all of these guys don't really have too much of a preference it kind of be like what fits how much money do I have because if you are playing double tight end you're doing it for the other positions but Mayer is one that will be a staple on my teams going to defense nothing really will stand out too too much is locked like I think looking at the four defenses that are all double digit ownership I think that's probably where I'm more likely to go you have different tiers jakes three four then the Raiders two nine jets two five rounds two one fine with them all obviously like you don't love playing the Browns against the Jaguars but defense is very volatile if it gets you all the spend ups I'm fine doing it.
But when we get to fandals we're about to go to right now I think there's more of a clear defense when talking there again I do think fandal is a relatively similar slate as to draft kings again we're going to sort by value we're going to go right to the tight end position Michael mayor very strong 4.6k I think he is going to be a plug-and-play for me let me just go over here right now yeah I really just don't don't see how you can get around playing mayor at a very cheap price tag allows you to spend up for others studs that you want to play tight end I think it is let me go over there or not tight end quarterback I think it is relatively similar to draft kings I mean Herbert almost is projected for the most raw points on the slate without even being close to the highest price so I think Justin Herbert is very strong on both sites it's a closer gap though to a Joe burrow Kyler still 400 less favorite at home can use his legs so I'd be fine with that I'm probably just going Herbert over there Trevor Lawrence right now Tyler shock I'm not sure we need to do that with the value we have so more than likely I'm playing Herbert don't really see finding 600 for burrow probably Kyler if I wouldn't go Justin Herbert going over to the running back position a little more tough I guess not a little more tough you're playing Gibbs I think I mean again his projection is out of this world he's going to be a staple on both sites a lot of people will play him if you don't play him I think you're pretty much paying the rake even if it doesn't end up that way
be John another strong play again if you do that though it's harder to spend up at some other positions like a Jamar chase or something at receiver he's strong though and then yeah we're going to some value stuff March on Lloyd down here I did want to mention 4.9 K that's a very cheap price on Fandall makes a lot of sense even though there's slight underdogs no Josh Jacobs had a lot of hype if you're in the best ball streets then the Andre Swift 6 6 breeze hall 6 9 Gen T 7 K he is going to play the matchups great in the price tags good so be fine with him Hampton I'm fine playing Herbert and Hampton together in cash games chase Brown at 7.5 K I do think running back to is tough on the slate and then you tend to play three running backs on Fandall because I have point PPR versus full point so running back is going to be a big decision on Fandall I think it's a little more difficult and more questions outside of Gibbs receiver again Jamar chase the highest price and still grades out is the best point per dollar if you are playing
Jamar chase it's probably harder to spend up at too many RB twos or RB threes he's a great play though but I don't think a lock by any means I'm in raw 300 less if you can't get to chase I'd be fine with but it's mainly like a lobby 7 4 Z 7 3 Maconkey bird in Nico Collins like that 1200s a long way off a Jamar chase and it does go or goes a long way and you're not really giving up you're giving up a decent amount of projection but man Nico's the complete man can get you be John Robinson or different build that way trade talker 5 6 still cheap over here who else do we got one Del Robins and 5.3 K Josh down 5 6 receiver is pretty tough I think on this are on Fandall but a one of chase a lot of it looks strong 7.4 K especially for a lot of a going to be trailing most of the game in the dome playing catch up I think he is he's a great play tight end I already talked about it I think you're playing mayor and you rarely ever playing to tight ends on Fandall so don't think that's even in the question
play mayor move on mayor Gibbs again is where I'd start and then I was talking on defense I think it's a little more apparent I mean I think I'm just playing tight and defense I'm usually not prioritizing it but they're 3.2 K which is one of the lowest on the slate 3 K is the stone men when it comes to defense on Fandall so the Titan small favorites against the Jets at home at 3.2 K just plug it in and move on in cash games that's going to do it again it's yeah 14 and a half minutes right here it's about what are expecting every single week as the weeks go on usually more news changes throughout the weekend so this shows when turning to be obsolete but again it's not things change moving pieces I'm going to be way more open to getting off some of the stuff or I'm changing my process a little bit tournaments cash games I don't know right now what I'd be playing when it comes to Sunday definitely tune in to our show whoo Tango and myself at 9 a.m. Eastern definitely get over to ship a nation dot com again 3.49 for the whole NFL season bottom left join the nation though you can try out five days for 19 dollars can find a single sport monthly core 100 100 lineups and
Saberson you're able to build I think starters the best deal though not too much more allows you to build 400 more lineups also get you saber Sims projections which allow you to take to like the average from ship a nation and Saberson like we've done portfolio diversification if you're playing GPPs contest flashback to see what the pros are doing in all the contests you absolutely cannot beat it this is the best time of the year appreciate everyone watching again this is the cash game countdown this will be out every Friday sometime before like 6 p.m. Eastern is my is my goal trying to fire at most in the mornings I'm not not in time though sometimes will be out in the afternoon sometimes will be out in the morning but it'll be out on Friday and then we'll be back Sunday with all of our final thoughts and all of our content will be up of course appreciate it hit that like it that subscribe on the way out that's going to do it I am title town good luck this weekend piece a piece
