00:03 >> All right, and you being the father of foreshadowing,
00:06 you mentioned this player earlier as well.
00:08 We also talked about his attached quarterback.
00:10 So now let's get into the Brandon and I conversation.
00:13 7,500 on FanDuel, 5,800 on DraftKings.
00:17 Why, Joe, start there.
00:19 >> Well, I think you start there because last week was a really good week for
00:23 the Rams defense.
00:24 So we gotta give them some credit.
00:26 However, at the same time, this is a little different situation.
00:31 Gino Smith was seeing the ghosts, as it were, right?
00:34 He was a little, Aaron Donald was right in front of him and he was screaming,
00:37 my God.
00:38 And I would scream, my God, if Aaron Donald was chasing me too.
00:41 So Gino, I feel your pain, I understand it.
00:43 So it's not a good first week for the Seahawks, but Brandon Iuke,
00:46 regardless, it was a big week for tons of targets, tons of explosive plays.
00:50 I know Debo's had a good history against the Rams, but
00:52 I think Brandon Iuke is the favored target here of Brock Purdy.
00:57 And I think that's important to recognize.
00:59 So it's still very cheap despite a technically difficult matchup on paper.
01:04 7,500 over on FanDuel, that's a really good price for
01:08 a guy with the upside potential of Brandon Iuke, and 5,800 on DK.
01:11 On DK, I love this play on DraftKings, Matt.
01:14 It's a really good play on DK.
01:16 If it fails, it fails, but the thought process behind it is really good.
01:20 I think he's the go-to guy in this offense in the passing game, I just do.
01:24 Chris McCaffrey's gonna do him, Kiel's gonna do him,
01:26 they're all gonna be there, Debo too.
01:28 I think Iuke, if you look back at the second half of last year,
01:32 Brandon Iuke finished as wide receiver 15 in the last eight weeks of the season.
01:36 So he was right there on that precipice of being a wide receiver one, but
01:39 this price is not indicative of that.
01:41 So let's continue to take advantage of this pricing, despite the tough matchup,
01:46 cuz tough matchups leads to low roster percentage.
01:49 Which means if it does hit,
01:50 it's a great separator on those pay lines of you from everybody else.
01:53 So this is a really good situation here for Brandon Iuke.
01:56 I like it again this week.
01:58 I would not get too attached to this price, cuz I do believe eventually over time,
02:01 it is going to once again go up on us.
02:04 But just like we talked about the betting market and DFS, right?
02:07 Same thing, it's like the stock market.
02:09 Buy the players at the right price, they have good games, good things happen.
