Here Are 2 Lions to Consider Starting in DFS on Sunday
Transcript
00:00 Okay, let's continue the conversation.
00:01 We started building this lineup with Patrick Mahomes.
00:03 People are more than likely going to try to stack that
00:06 with Rushie Rice, but you're offering receivers from the
00:09 other game, two of them actually on opposite sides of the
00:12 ball. So let's start with Amon Ra Saint-Brown, 9200 on
00:15 FanDuel. Talk to me about Amon Ra Saint-Brown and see if
00:19 you can sprinkle in a little if we can get Rice in the
00:21 lineup.
00:21 Look, I mean, Amon Ra Saint-Brown is a must. You were talking
00:25 about how you start lineups.
00:26 I think you started with Amon Ra today. Amon Ra has been
00:29 fantastic. You look at the game log. He's been absolutely
00:31 brilliant and he's going up against the 29th ranked pass
00:35 defense. So Amon Ra is in play. Look at the targets, 14
00:38 targets, 8 targets, 10 targets, 9. He's had 12 catches, 6,
00:42 7, 7. He's gone over 100 yards, three of his last four games.
00:45 It's a touchdown three of his last four games. Amon Ra is
00:47 the guy you start every lineup with. On the other side,
00:49 Mike Evans is a tremendous play as well because I mentioned
00:52 before, the other side is not good either. So Rice and Amon
00:57 Ra are all in this block here. If you want to go down a
00:59 quarterback to Baker Mayfield, you can work all these guys
01:02 in your lineup. Mike Evans is a little bit more boomer boss.
01:04 I still prefer Evans though. He has more touchdown equity
01:07 going in. You got up against the 27th ranked pass defense
01:11 here of the Detroit Lions. Neither secondary is very good.
01:15 Forward field has played a lot more like Coors Field, a ton
01:18 of overs this year, a ton of points. So keep that in mind.
01:21 That building is like that and I kind of worry a little bit
01:25 about the Detroit Lions because my concern with them, Matt,
01:28 is after such an emotional big, we finally got our playoff
01:30 victory. You saw how the celebrations were going on there
01:33 in the streets, in the crowd, even the GM in the elevator
01:36 just freaking out like they won the Super Bowl. That's great.
01:39 They deserve that. It's been a long time coming. But can you
01:42 pump the air up back into the balloon? Can you be ready to
01:44 win this game today after all that emotion that's that you
01:47 accomplish something where you haven't really accomplished
01:49 anything yet by the standards of what we're supposed to be
01:52 judging you. It's a really interesting situation and Baker
01:54 Mayfield to me is like the last guy you want to see because
01:57 he doesn't care. He's playing with house money. Talk about
02:00 not supposed to be there. Baker Mayfield is not supposed to
02:03 be in the playoffs and he's certainly not supposed to be
02:04 in round two. So that's a dangerous spot. Lastly, Sam
02:07 Laporta. Look, if he's healthy, it's hard not to like Sam
02:10 Laporta in this game. The tight ends today outside of Kelsey,
02:13 you know, it's Kelsey of the support. It's Kincaid. Those
02:16 are the three places you want to go. If you want to throw
02:18 some one-offs there on Dawson Knox to get a touchdown or
02:20 Kate Otten. Okay, that's fine too. And you might have to
02:23 But tight end is tricky because you have the top guys
02:26 and you have all those high end wide receivers.
