Here's my take on tonight's Carolina/Green Bay Game from this week's @WagerTalk Bet On It Show with @kellyinvegas@GiannitheGreek_

Everyone NEEDS to spend 5 Minutes listening to this clip tonight of Obama Talking about Trump's Reaction to his Cheesecake Factory comment.
It's not only hilarious, but so true.
Every American needs to watch this.
Now would be a good time to remind everyone of these Trump facts, because apparently some people still need the refresher.
Please meet the President of the United States:
Flew on Epsteinโs plane at least seven times. Just friends, I guess.
Pleaded the Fifth more than 400 times in a single deposition. Nothing says โinnocentโ like refusing to answer a single question about your own business.
34 felony convictions. A record most people would call disqualifying. And 91 criminal charges.
Accused of sexual misconduct or assault by at least 26 women. But sure, tell me again how heโs a great guy.
6 corporate bankruptcies. The self proclaimed greatest businessman alive somehow keeps running out of money.
5 draft deferments. Funny how the toughest guy in the room never actually showed up for duty. He said, "no thanks", when asked to serve his country. Speaking about McCain, Trump stated: "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured."
4 criminal indictments. Not two. Not three. Four.
2 impeachments. A club of exactly one president.
2 of his own companies convicted of criminal tax fraud. Convicted. Not accused. Convicted.
During the 2016 presidential election, Trumpโs campaign orchestrated a televised Iowa fundraiser meant for veterans but directed the foundationโs money to boost his political campaign. The charity was used to buy personal items, including a $10,000 portrait of Trump. The New York State Attorney General filed a lawsuit in 2018, regarding Donald J. Trump Foundation, alleging a "pattern of persistent illegality" and self-dealing. The investigation found that Trump used the charity as a personal "piggy bank."
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The Eric Trump Foundation Controversy: This investigation revealed that the charity raised money under the guise of FUNDING THE ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL, but was allegedly charged over $1.2 million by the Trump Organization for using Trump-owned golf courses, shifting donor money meant for sick children back into Trump businesses.
1 fake university shut down. Trump's charities always involved cheating and grifting. HE AND HIS FAMILY ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO RUN A CHARITY IN NEW YORK He and his family are no longer allowed to run a charity in New York because the Trump Organization used the funds for Trump-owned golf courses, SHIFTING DONOR MONEY MEANT FOR SICK CHILDREN INTO TRUMP BUSINESSES. He was ordered to pay 2 million dollars for looting his own so called charity.
Paid 25 million dollars to settle the Trump University fraud lawsuit because scamming people who believed in you costs money eventually.
Ordered to pay 5 million dollars in the first E Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, then hit with 83.3 million more in the second. A jury said it twice so nobody could pretend it was a fluke.
First president in modern history to increase the deficit every single year of a full term. Fiscal responsibility, apparently, was always just a talking point.
Kept the debt to GDP ratio above 100 percent for his entire first term.
Presided over the largest single day point drop in Dow Jones history at the time. So much for the guy who claimed to be a genius with money.
Set the record for the longest government shutdown in US history in his first term at 35 days, then couldnโt resist beating his own miserable record in his second term with a 43 day shutdown, followed by yet another shutdown just months later. THE ONLY POTUS TO HAVE 3 GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS IN HIS TERMS.
Added roughly 2.25 trillion dollars to the national debt in his first year back in office alone, pushing the debt past 39 trillion dollars.
Somebody remind me who the party of fiscal discipline is again.
Pushed through the largest defense budget increase since World War Two while the debt kept climbing anyway.
Purged more than 300,000 federal employees in his first year back.
Pardoned nearly 1,600 January 6 Capitol rioters on his very first day back in office, including Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy.
Law and order, except when itโs inconvenient. At least 40 of those pardoned rioters have already been rearrested, charged, or sentenced for new crimes since walking free. Shocking absolutely nobody.
His familyโs crypto ventures, including a meme coin and World Liberty Financial, pulled in more than 1.4 billion dollars in disclosed earnings while he sat in the Oval Office.
Draining the swamp was apparently code for filling his own pockets.
Sent the National Guard into American cities at a cost of nearly 500 million taxpayer dollars in 2025 alone, then BRAGS about lower crime. He has no long term solution - ever. He just sends in the military. The military seems to be his answer to everything.
His own tariffs are projected to cost the average American household more than 2,500 dollars this year.
YOU'RE PAYING FOR THIS. NOT CHINA. YOU!
Got America involved in a forever war with Iran, though promised the exact opposite.
Peace deal with Russia and Ukraine on Day One. He has continued to side with Putin and has never admitted that Russia invaded Ukraine - UNPROVOKED.
Now sitting at one of the lowest approval ratings of his second term, stuck in the mid 30s while inflation and gas prices make everyday life harder.
None of this is a conspiracy theory, a rumor, or something you saw in a group chat.
It is the actual, documented record, sitting in plain sight for anyone willing to look.
So the next time someone tells you to relax and give him a chance, ask them how many more indictments, judgments, and shutdown records he needs to rack up before that chance runs out.

5. Brain and nerves
This is where cannabis hits hardest. It eases pain and inflammation and helps control seizures and muscle spasms.
It also releases dopamine, the brain's feel-good chemical. That's the high, along with a changed sense of time and the world around you. But dopamine is also what makes it habit-forming. Quit after regular use and you get withdrawal: trouble sleeping, irritability and a weak appetite.
Other downsides:
โข Slower thinking and processing
โข Worse balance, movement and coordination
โข Worse anxiety
โข Extra danger if schizophrenia runs in your family
Cannabis changes your body within minutes, from your heart rate to your lungs to your brain. Scientists still don't fully know the long-term effects. Know what it does before you decide to use it, especially if you have a heart condition, breathing problems or a family history of mental illness.
10 THINGS TO EXPECT IN THE NFL TONIGHT:
TNF W7: NE v CHI. 63ยฐF, No Wind/Rain.
1) The Patriots have won 3 games straight, where Maye has broken out of his early season slump. In his first three weeks, Maye was sacked 9 times, compared to just 2 in the last 3.
Noting this as The Pats are missing both starting guards (Vera-Tucker, Brown), with Moses (RT) questionable after missing last week. Lomu will join this starting line, who allowed zero pressures last week vs NYJ.
2) The Bears are generating the 4th highest pressure rate this season, while 8th in Sacks (17), and 5th in opposing Catchable throw rate. So yes, the front depletion for NE is going to be cumbersome.
Can start with a note on Pats rushers, as Corey Kiner emerged last week with 11 Att for 57 Yards, which included 8 straight in the 4th to burn the clock.
โ[Kiner] runs hard, and itโs the same way heโs selling the kickoff returns... We got three capable backs and you ride the hot hand" - Vrabel
3) Bears love their man coverage, and Maye has yet to throw the ball to A.J. Brown when facing it. Brown is looking for a rebound already after he notched 4 drops last week:
"There's no excuses...Just trying to get going again...Put this to bed really fast, I'm gonna watch the tape, and it's over, imma flush it." - Brown
4) Da Bears offense is back to full strength with the exception of Kyle Monangai. Without him last week, Bears carry distribution featured 16 to Swift and 13 to Johnson, though Swift had 4 of the 5 goal line carries.
Swift has notched 15+ carries in all 5 games where he hasn't got injured this season. 5 straight RB1s have covered their receiving yards prop vs New England.
5) Patriots rush defense is ranking Top 10 in OPP YPC and Success Rate this season. Granted, we have now seen 4 of 6 starting backs cross 4.5 YPC; Only 1 of them notched over 2 receptions, and that was Jeanty amidst a 28 Pt loss.
Bears offense runs Zone concepts on 56.5% of attempts, sitting in that Top 10 with Jags (30-137 v NE) and SEA (22-97). Patriots loss both of those games.
6) Caleb Williams is back and passing into a man-heavy Pats secondary, which is missing a starting CB in Carlton Davis III.
Williams has a 76% completion rate vs man, which is +5% comparative to zone, yet has came with a significant hit in Yds/DB (5.5 v 6.78).
7) Colston Loveland showed up last week, notching 6 receptions for 65 yards and recording his first TD of the season. When Williams is facing man, he's in 12 personnel (2 TE, 2 WR) at the 2nd lowest rate in the league (15%).
Loveland has played two games with Caleb against above average man-coverage teams, where he totaled 1 receptions for 3 yards (which was vs zone).
8) Instead, The Patriots are allowing the 6th highest target rate to wideouts. Kalif Raymond notched 214 of his 244 receiving yards in his opening 3 games, and has a chance to boom again here.
He generated 0.36 TPRR vs Man in the aforementioned sample, doubling the next closest Bear.
Last week Raymond played just 47% of snaps, the only time he has logged <60% with Williams. Odunze remains the leader here at 96%, yet 5 straight WR1s have gone under their receiving yards prop vs NE.
9/10) KICKERS, D/ST, and TRENDS!
The Commanders covered their +7.5 vs San Francisco on Monday Night, which moves primetime dogs to 8-2 since Week 1 (excl. SNF).
The Bears have given up just 1.5 FGA per game this season, with 0 last week, ranking them 5th. This was because The Falcons scored on every RedZone trip, yet The Bears at home have allowed a 20% RZ score rate (compared to 90% on the road!).
Iโm only going to say this ONCE.
I don't give a F*CK if you have $1,000, $10,000, or even $100,000 in your portfolio, RARE EARTH stocks are going to make people generational WEALTH this year.
Here are 5 rare earth stocks Iโm watching:
๐ช๐๐๐ ๐ณ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง ๐๐ข๐ข๐ ๐
The entire slate, game by game.
Hereโs where @wgabelman's head is at early in the week.
๐ฆ๐ โ๏ธ@ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ชถ
Brock Purdy gets an above-average matchup against a Falcons defense that has allowed four of its last five opposing QBs to throw for 285+ yards. Atlanta is facing over 40 pass attempts per game, putting ๐ฃ๐๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ in an interesting spot.
The bigger question is what happens if ๐ ๐ถ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ and ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ผ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐บ๐๐ฒ๐น both miss.
๐๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐๐น๐ฒ ($5,700) saw a season-high eight targets last week, while ๐๐ ๐ ($7,600) received double-digit targets for the first time all season after Evans exited. If both receivers are out, I'm considering a rule to roster one of Kittle or CMC on most builds.
The matchup is less appealing for Atlanta. ๐๐ถ๐ท๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ป ($8,500) has the talent and workload, but no RB has rushed for more than 90 yards against San Francisco. ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป ($7,500) also faces a middling matchup, while Kyle Pitts is coming off a two-TD performance against a defense that has yet to allow a touchdown to a TE.
๐๐๐ก ๐ฏ @ ๐๐๐ ๐ฆโโฌ
The QB matchup doesn't stand out for either side. ๐๐ผ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ ($6,900) has topped 25 DK points just once this season, and Baltimore hasn't allowed an opposing QB to throw for more than one TD or 276 yards in a game.
๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐๐ผ๐ป would be more interesting at $200 less than Burrow if healthy, particularly after Malik Willis rushed for 74 yards and a TD against Cincinnati last week.
The matchup through the air is much more appealing for ๐๐ฎ'๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ.
Chris Olave, CeeDee Lamb, Carnell Tate and Drake London have all posted 20+ DK points against Baltimore, with three of the four exceeding 110 receiving yards.
๐ญ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ($6,900) and ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ($3,900) are also in play if Lamar returns. On the ground, Chase Brown hasn't been effective, but ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฎ๐ท๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ($4,600) could become an interesting salary saver if there's news of an expanded role.
๐ง๐ ๐ดโโ ๏ธ @ ๐๐๐ฅ ๐โโฌ
This is shaping up as one of my favorite games to build around. ๐๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ด has been impressive, joining Peyton Manning and Drew Brees as the only QBs to open a season with 280+ passing yards and at least one TD in each of their first five games.
Tampa Bay has already allowed five receivers to top 20 DK points, including Denzel Boston, Jordan Addison, George Pickens, DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard.
๐ง๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฎ๐ป averages 9.6 targets per game, while ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ averages 8.8. Expect at least one to have a strong game.
๐๐ต๐๐ฏ๐ฎ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ($6,700) is a tougher click despite his strong season. Tampa Bay has yet to allow an opposing RB to rush for more than 58 yards or produce more than 8.6 receiving DK points.
Baker Mayfield could return for Tampa Bay, which would help the overall game environment. Bryce Young is preferred at just $400 more.
Carolina has tightened up against opposing RBs since allowing big games to D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai early in the season, making ๐๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด less appealing than his DraftKings matchup might suggest.
๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ฎ ๐๐ด๐ฏ๐๐ธ๐ฎ is my favorite bring-back after seeing 16 targets in Week 6.
๐ก๐ฌ๐ ๐ต @ ๐๐ข๐จ ๐
๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฑ ($5,700) is initially interesting after posting three 300+ passing-yard games in his last five outings. He should have a full complement of weapons with Tank Dell potentially returning and Marvin Harrison Jr. getting another week in the offense.
The Giants have limited most opposing QBs this season, but Matthew Stafford threw for 325 yards and four TDs against them. Stroud has the upside to take advantage if that performance is the blueprint.
The bigger draw may be the pass catchers.
๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ธ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ($6,800) has topped 110 yards and 26 DK points in three straight games while still costing less than $7,000. ๐๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ต ๐๐ถ๐ธ๐ฒ๐น๐ ($5,300) is coming off his third game of at least 23.9 DK points and leads the Giants in red-zone targets.
Both are firmly in my player pool. ๐ก๐ถ๐ฐ๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ ($7,200) remains a strong option, but the potential returns of Dell and Harrison could spread Stroud's targets around more than usual.
Neither backfield stands out, with both teams splitting their RB opportunities and neither defense allowing an opposing RB to rush for 85 yards.
๐๐ก๐ ๐@ ๐ ๐๐ก ๐ฃ
The Vikings defense is a priority early in the week.
๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐ฒ๐น ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ has thrown as many interceptions as TDs in every game this season, has six interceptions overall and has taken 15 sacks. Minnesota is just $3,500 and gets a QB who has struggled with turnovers and pressure.
The Vikings' ground game is also interesting against an Indianapolis defense that has allowed Derrick Henry, Kenneth Walker and Jaylen Warren to top 150 total yards. ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ๐ has handled 22+ touches in four straight games without Jordan Mason. If Mason can't return from IR, Jones is back in consideration.
The other side is much less appealing. ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ง๐ฎ๐๐น๐ผ๐ฟ ($8,000) has an extremely difficult matchup against a Vikings defense that has held opposing RBs to 3.2 yards per carry outside of one long Ollie Gordon run.
The opposing backfields have also combined for just 27 receiving yards against Minnesota despite 16 targets.
๐๐๐๐๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป ($7,300) hasn't reached double-digit targets this season and is averaging fewer than five catches per game. He remains capable of a ceiling performance, but the early matchup and usage aren't especially compelling.
๐ ๐๐ ๐ฌ @ ๐ก๐ฌ๐ โ๏ธ
The first thing I saw was the DST price. ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐ง ($2,900) is averaging nearly three sacks per game and has held its three home opponents to 14 points per game. Miami finally topped 13 points for the first time all season last week, making New York my favorite mid-range defense.
Neither QB stands out. No QB has needed 40 attempts against Miami, while ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ธ ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ hasn't thrown for 225 yards or more than one TD in a game this season.
๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฒ๐น๐ผ๐ป ๐๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ป ($5,900) is the exception if Breece Hall misses another game. Allen has handled 16, 25 and 19 touches in the three games without Hall.
The receiving matchups are less appealing. No WR has topped 20 DK points against Miami, tempering interest in ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐๐ผ๐ป ($6,500). No Dolphins pass catcher has topped 14.7 DK points all season, which leaves ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ฏ ๐๐ผ๐๐ด๐น๐ฎ๐ and ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ธ ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐๐ผ๐ป as difficult clicks despite their sub-$5,000 salaries.
For now, it's mostly Allen and the Jets defense.
๐๐๐ ๐ค @ ๐ง๐๐ก โ๏ธ
๐๐ฎ๐บ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ($4,600) has accounted for more than 190 total yards just once this season and hasn't thrown multiple passing TDs in a game. Even at home and at a discount, he feels close to unplayable.
๐๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ป ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐๐ผ๐ป has the Browns atop the AFC North, but the road matchup is fairly neutral and Cleveland is averaging fewer than 30 pass attempts per game.
Neither rushing attack stands out. Cleveland has allowed just one TD to opposing RBs all season, while its own backfield could get crowded with Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson potentially returning.
The more interesting angle is Cleveland's receiving game. Tennessee hasn't allowed a TE to top 34 receiving yards, potentially concentrating more targets on ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐น ๐๐ผ๐๐๐ผ๐ป and ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ($4,400). Concepcion leads the team in targets, receptions and red-zone targets, making him an appealing early value.
On the other side, rookie ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐น๐น ๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ($5,100) has posted games of 19 and 25 DK points in two of his last three outings and is worth keeping in mind.
๐๐๐ก ๐ @ ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ฆ
๐๐ผ ๐ก๐ถ๐ ($5,000) is a genuinely intriguing option despite a disappointing season so far. Arizona has allowed 20+ DK points to Drew Lock, Brock Purdy, Jameis Winston and Jared Goff, despite none attempting more than 33 passes. The Cardinals have also allowed 64 rushing yards and a TD on just eight total QB rush attempts.
This could be Nix's easiest matchup of the season. ๐๐ฎ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ป ๐ช๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ ($5,500) leads Denver in targets and receiving yards, making him the preferred stacking partner.
Arizona has allowed multiple strong performances through the air, including 9-155-3 to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and 6-112-1 to Malik Nabers. Several other receivers and TEs have topped 18 DK points.
The matchup is more difficult for ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐, as Denver has held most QBs in check.
Still, ๐ ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐ฒ๐น ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐๐ผ๐ป and ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ are interesting bring-backs if building around Nix. The Broncos have allowed big games to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Davante Adams, along with productive outings from Parker Washington, Konata Mumpfield, Tyler Higbee and George Kittle.
๐๐ ๐ง @ ๐๐๐ง ๐ฆ
This is the game that could drive the slate's highest combined ownership. Green Bay travels to Detroit in a dome, and the early numbers point toward a strong environment for ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ.
Four of the five QBs to face Detroit have posted their best game of the season in that matchup.
Love has exceeded 21 DK points four times already, and every opposing QB other than Josh Allen has thrown for 290+ yards and multiple TDs against the Lions. Allen accounted for five total TDs himself.
Green Bay has struggled to run the ball, while Detroit has allowed several massive receiving performances. ๐๐ต๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐๐ผ๐ป, ๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ and ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป all make sense as stacking partners. I'm considering a rule to roster at least one of the three even when not building around Love.
Detroit's side is tougher through the air. Green Bay has held opposing QBs below 260 passing yards and one or fewer total TDs in five straight games. However, ๐๐ฎ๐ต๐บ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ jumps off the page.
The Packers are allowing 27.3 DK points per game to opposing backfields, while Gibbs averages 32.1 and accounts for 92% of Detroit's backfield fantasy points.
๐๐บ๐ผ๐ป-๐ฅ๐ฎ ๐ฆ๐. ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป ($7,800) remains firmly in play, averaging 11.4 targets per game and ranking third in receiving TDs despite playing one fewer game.
Drake London just put up 194 yards against Green Bay, while CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens combined for 143 yards last week.
This game has plenty of ways to get there, but the field will likely recognize it too. Finding the right combinations matters.
๐๐๐ฅ ๐@ ๐๐ฉ โ ๏ธ
๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ ($6,400) is an appealing pivot from Love, who costs just $400 more. The Raiders have allowed Drake Maye and Tyler Shough to account for 290+ yards and at least four TDs in recent weeks, while the Rams have been difficult for opposing QBs.
With ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฑ๐ฎ๐บ๐ expected to miss at least six weeks, Stafford's targets should consolidate around ๐ฃ๐๐ธ๐ฎ ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ฎ, ๐ง๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฒ and ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฏ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ป.
A block of Stafford plus Nacua and both TEs is interesting.
At $21,300 combined, that still leaves room to fit Gibbs and a Packers WR without being strapped for salary.
The Raiders' side is less appealing. No pass catcher has topped 80 yards against the Rams, which tempers interest in ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ and ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ง๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ.
๐๐๐ต๐๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ ($6,500) is worth considering as a contrarian pay-up option, though his touches have declined in every game this season, from 29 in Week 1 to 14 last week.
That's the first look. These are the early reads, not final decisions. Injuries, roles and ownership will keep shaping the slate throughout the week.
We'll keep working through it before Sunday's lock.๐ฅ
Keep an eye out for STATAtl's Late Look coming out later this week.
