And pretty soon, it's a new way to burn your bankroll quickly. It's the seven minute showdown slingshot episode number one. Welcome to it. We're going to look at Thursday night's showdown Slay. We're only going for 7 minutes here because there's not a lot to talk about. Let's look at the game. This week, it's the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals.
00;00;29;14 - 00;00;51;26
Speaker 1
As of recording this show, Cardinals a two point favorite. The total is 44 at the over and under D hop is back, which is interesting. Andy Dalton still going to be under center for New Orleans and Michael Thomas already ruled out as well. So a lot of injury stuff. Marquise Brown looks like ruled out for the season as well.
00;00;52;10 - 00;01;01;03
Speaker 1
Brandon, let's start with you. Super showdown slingshot for tomorrow night or tonight, I guess, of your list on Thursday. What's your moves? What? Your plays?
00;01;01;03 - 00;01;06;13
Speaker 2
I just found out Marqise Brown was out for the season. Did not know that.
00;01;06;15 - 00;01;15;28
Speaker 1
Well, you're welcome. I like to call that a hang on. I like to call that a news flash.
00;01;16;12 - 00;01;17;17
Speaker 2
Dear Lord. Okay.
00;01;18;18 - 00;01;20;09
Speaker 1
5 minutes and 30 seconds.
00;01;20;10 - 00;01;21;14
Speaker 3
You literally asked for that?
00;01;21;20 - 00;01;22;14
Speaker 1
Yeah, you did.
00;01;22;24 - 00;01;44;15
Speaker 2
Nice. Nice. I did. We'll see. Captain, we got Mr. Sticky Gloves coming back. I kind of like him at the captain spot, so that's kind of where I'm going, pairing them up with Kyler. And also throwing Rondale Moore in there. They're going to sling the ball around everywhere. So that's I'm a load up with Arizona people maybe have let's see, you got to have another one.
00;01;44;15 - 00;01;55;06
Speaker 2
So I hate the fact that Taysom Hill is on the other team because I feel like if you don't pick him, you're going to get screwed. And if you do pick him, you're going to get screwed. So I'm going to go with Kamara. So there's not.
00;01;55;09 - 00;01;57;00
Speaker 1
Joe where are you at Showdown?
00;01;57;00 - 00;02;11;07
Speaker 3
Slay I'm either going and Rondale Moore or Chris or LaVar as my captain because they're both pretty cheap. I don't think they're going to be super highly owned in the Captain Spot. I mean, they'll be they'll be decently owned. But I'm not thinking they're going to be the top down captain or anything.
00;02;11;12 - 00;02;21;05
Speaker 1
Chris Oliver Currently 10% and you said. Rondale Moore 9.5 projected ownership respectively in the Captain Spot.
00;02;21;05 - 00;02;31;22
Speaker 3
Yeah. So that's that's my normal showdown strategy. I like to go, chief, a captain with a guy that gets a touchdown or two and you're putting yourself way out there in front of the field. So that's where I'll go.
00;02;31;23 - 00;02;59;27
Speaker 1
I'm thinking about this. You guys are going to love this one. I'm thinking about Joanne Johnson at Captain. Right. And then I'm going to go Kyler and Dee, hop on the other side. I'm going to bring in Kamara, Andy Dalton. And then I read an interesting stat so far this year, the top 1% of lineups in the showdown slates have often had a defense or a kicker or a combination of the two.
00;03;00;06 - 00;03;07;27
Speaker 1
So I'm going to put Will Lutz in there. Where are we at, Joe? You heard on Brandon a little bit on Taysom Hill. Where are you at on Taysom Hill?
00;03;07;29 - 00;03;27;21
Speaker 3
I will probably play a little bit of Taysom Hill if Jameis Winston is not the starter, because I saw earlier that they were still questioning who the starter was going to be. So if James is starting probably not playing Taysom, if if it's the Red Rocket, we might see some Taysom Hill in my lineups.
00;03;28;06 - 00;03;48;07
Speaker 1
Okay, so what about this strategy I've been trying in a game like this, I might go with somebody that's heavily involved in one offense and then as the captain and then in the flex, just load up with the other team. So like Kamara, right, he's going to catch passes, he's going to run the ball easily. Could do more than one touchdown.
00;03;48;13 - 00;03;54;23
Speaker 1
We've seen that before. So Kamara is captain. And then load up my flex positions with Arizona. Yeah, that.
00;03;54;23 - 00;03;56;19
Speaker 2
Sounds like a good plan. I was just thinking.
00;03;56;28 - 00;03;58;12
Speaker 1
How how how horrible is that?
00;03;58;12 - 00;04;17;03
Speaker 3
Joe I like it as long as it's a running back like if it's, if it's a wide receiver that's going to go off, then most likely they're bringing their quarterback with them, which is why I wouldn't like it as much. I mean, if you then take that wide receiver and the quarterback and then go for from the other team, I don't hate that, but I wouldn't I don't think I'd one off the wide receiver captain.
00;04;17;03 - 00;04;43;26
Speaker 1
So I've been trying to go cheap in the captain spot for ownership reasons and for money reasons because then you can stack it down below. But I was looking at the last showdown slate and I don't know that that's a very good strategy because even if Jason Johnson gets his top 10% outcome, what's that going to be? 15 Add on the Captain Bonus 20 versus Kamara goes for 30.
00;04;43;26 - 00;04;45;08
Speaker 1
Now it's 45, right.
00;04;45;08 - 00;05;14;27
Speaker 3
grand compared to:
00;05;14;27 - 00;05;27;09
Speaker 1
One minute, 60 seconds left in the first 7 minutes showdown slingshot show. Take us out in the next 60 seconds with your takes and any other important stuff we need to mention.
00;05;27;21 - 00;05;42;28
Speaker 2
I'm just going to give you guys the famous under 200 or 600 play. This looks like you might get a good. Nick Vanek And then at least those named Nick Vannett came to say that 60 seconds, that gives you good enough insight on how much I know this game.
00;05;43;09 - 00;05;45;16
Speaker 1
But why? Why? What do you pay him?
00;05;45;27 - 00;05;54;06
Speaker 2
Well, I just tried to make that line up with Kamara and free with like all the other Arizona guys. And you don't get Jack shit.
