Sleep, Stream, Stash - Defense and Kickers Week 1 | Fantasy Football Streaming Guide

0:00We are proudly supported by Nathan and Sun's makers of underbrush remineralizing gum. The Nathan and Sun's folks sent me some of this gum. And when you taste it, it's like, oh, this is what real flavor tastes like. It just didn't feel fake. It had a texture and a taste of what real gum should be. Because I've tried other natural gums. And the flavor does not pop like it does with Nathan and Sun's, and the flavor doesn't last. The flavor flavor is cinamastic. I also feel like my jaws in better shape, not doing as much clenching with my teeth. And what's funny is it's made with hydroxyapatite. The same mineral your tooth and amel is made from. And the best part is a chewing gum that helps take care of your teeth in between brushing. And critically, there is no plastic in this gum. It's made from natural tree sap.

1:01Hey, we've got defenses and kickers coach Ritzlaff with you last season. Seven, I crushed on defenses and kickers. This here it'll be me solo. So shout out to you, chef. I'm going to miss you, bud. But you can catch us on FFD plenty there. Let's talk about started off smoke him if you got him Broncos defense versus the chiefs left tackle Josh Simmons of the chiefs is dealing with a back injury. It's just more trouble for Patrick Mahomes in his return. So the Broncos over 95% rostered on both ESPN and sleeper don't get crazy smoke him if you got him Broncos defense next up Steelers versus the Falcons 96% on ESPN 77% on sleeper.

2:05We got the news about to attack by Lowa. So we are going to attack the Falcons until further notice until they get an improvement at quarterback. We want to attack mistake prone quarterbacks and this is just an easy avenue to do so. So go and get your Steelers if you already got him smoke him if you got him problem is there on a lot of people's rosters. So not so much a waiver wire play. Let's get to the Jaguars defense versus Browns over under currently 40 and a half. You also have Parker Washington as a punt returner. So there's points available there for touchdowns. Basil Tutan and liquid Allen are listed as the kickoff returners 56% roster ship are the Jaguars defense on ESPN 80% on sleeper. So you have a more of a shot on ESPN. They're more chalk on the Jaguars. People are hot on the Jaguars and a lot of that has to do with the fact that we are sour on the Browns with Dishon Watson. Whoever the mess is at quarterback is going to be tough.

3:06Great skill position players until further notice. You notice a theme attack challenged quarterbacks or poorly playing quarterbacks. Next up jets defense at Titans. This is an over under of 39 and a half. One of the very lowest totals on the board over under it's going to be 4% sorry on ESPN are the jets defense 2% roster ship on sleeper. So last year we ran pure on defenses sub to sub 3% sub 5% we had a run where we had top 12 defenses 3 weeks in a row that were 3% rostered or less. So we've had a lot of success with that. We're going to go to the well here you're attacking cam ward things look bad in preseason. The Titans were an absolutely a team that we attacked all last season and now it's paid until further notice attack again with the jets at the Titans.

4:07Next up this is like a two week play as the chargers defense they get the carinals in week one and then they also get the raiders at home week two so two games at home first the carinals then the raiders germ i love it remains to be seen what he's going to do but the Arizona carinals bottom five and projected point totals per game over the course of the season. This is just an easy simple nice thing to do attack bad teams the over under currently 47 and a half with the chargers nine and a half point favorites so even though it's a 47 and a half point over under a lot of those points are favored towards the chargers and if they get going with that run game with the high octane offense it could get ugly early and it's 55% roster ship on espn for the chargers defense 58% on sleeper so we like to hover around 50% or lower for some streamers but my god 55 and 58 that is too low go out

5:10and get yourself some chargers. Next up the cowboy's defense at the giants right the cowboys are two and a half point favorites you are attacking the mat naggy offense which traditionally stalls more often than it should cowboys have the giants number they just crush if whatever reason the NFL loves to put these games week one prime time giants and cowboys eventually the giants are going to stop getting embarrassed but right now it looks to continue the over under in this game is 48 and a half interesting that the cowboys are only two and a half point favorites so vagus seems to imply that the giants are going to get more points than we'd like but I see a lot of mistakes being made and Jackson dark still a young quarterback under the bright lights we don't know how you know efficient muleek neighbors is going to be just yet and I see the cowboys having their way with their division rivals and then the over under 48 and a half percent or 48 and a half point total as I mentioned the roster ship though 12%

6:14on ESPN 20% on sleeper are the Dallas cowboys so again an attainable defense that you can get if all these good defenses all the chalk defenses are taken and picked over and you're in a desperation spot go and get yourself some cowboys defense at the giants now look ahead they had a lot of success with that last year we mentioned the chargers again a bears mentioning a two week play here raiders at home so if they're on your waiver wire go out and get your chargers the Eagles defense at the Titans they will be a smoke and if you got them defense as they're well over 95% rostered but if you've got Eagles defense who face the commanders in week one guess what you get cam ward in week two it's going to be delightful now for some tougher ones some more streamable options that we are looking ahead to Tampa Bay Buckingeers will be home versus notice the theme we're picking on the browns again Buckingeers 14% on ESPN 4% on sleeper absolutely attainable when you're in the mess of all chalk defenses being taken you can go out and find

7:20yourself some buckingeers you probably don't even have to stash them this week they'll be able to be had after a barn burner 50 and a half point total projected between the browns and the bangles in week one you're not going to have any trouble getting the buckingeers next week so I don't even think you have to roster them this week they're a sneaky backdoor play you might even be able to get them post waiver rye or run although depending on how bad the browns looking week one you you might have to put a few dollars on the buckingeers you won't have to break the bank though next up 49ers defense as a look ahead versus the dolphins they also get week three the cardinals at home so the 49ers defense a decent play dolphins are another team that are in some trouble by Vegas line totals and those are things that we'd like to follow 49ers defense here's another part they're attainable 7% right now on ESPN 10% on sleeper so there's an early one last one early leader defensive wise

8:21for desperation stream status next week it is the panthers at the Falcons we're attacking to a attack by Loa in the panthers I hate to say this this might sound crazy they might be a good next two weeks look ahead play because they also get the browns on the road week three right now 1% on ESPN 2% on sleeper I don't think you're going to have to blow any fab money on the panthers but again have them in your rolodex for your defenses now let's hear from the podfather for player rankings you know I get asked is AI ruining fantasy sports and the answer is absolutely not we've had consensus rankings available for a long time but people subscribe to the player rankings at playerprofile.com for superflex tight in premium bestball even offensive line rankings of course your rookie rankings your dynasty rankings are all available in the ranking service for player profile.com password protected so the bots can't get to it and you can maintain your edge and use code podfather for five dollars off woo it's a good deal we are proudly supported by Nathan and

11:32been through best ball streets talking about spike week potential ever McPherson in a kicker league absolutely has that if your league is picked over so he's a top 10 play absolutely Evan McPherson and it's 52 percent on sleeper so he's right near that 50 percent mark that we like to attack players who are too low roster but on ESPN McPherson 21 percent roster so go take care of that if you've been completely picked over and you've done that move where you don't have a kicker or a defense right up until the deadline well if it's a deadline kicker that you need Evan McPherson based on those numbers and chase McLaughlin both bound to be one of them available next up we have Will Rikard versus Packers indoors of looking at the numbers for Will Rikard he had 13 games last year of eight or more points six or sorry eight double digit games he had Will Rikard 14 16 and an 18 point game last year weeks 15 through 18 we always talk about

13:36Buffalo Bill's kicker Tyler Bass recovered from a pelvic injury and lost his 2025 season he builds get the Lions at home in a new stadium which might be more conducive to the wind in favor of the field goal kickers he is okay because you got bates on the other side who's highly rostered 52 and a half point over under game Tyler Bass roster ship ready for this 5 percent on ESPN 6 percent on sleeper you cannot beat that so we've got some great defensive plays some great kicking plays for you we will see you next week we are proudly supported by Nathan and sons makers of underbrush remineralizing gum the Nathan and sons folks sent me some of this gum and when you tasted it's like oh this is what real flavor tastes like it just didn't feel fake it had a texture and a taste of what real gum should be because I've tried other natural gums and the flavor does not pop like it does with Nathan and sons and the flavor doesn't last my
