Good afternoon and welcome to a Friday edition of Prop Points here on VSiN. I'm John Hansen of fantasypoints.com. The program as always is produced by Mr. Michael Cohen. The big program forthcoming will break down last night's action. It was not a bad night, but I don't know if it was a good night. We thought it was going to be ugly, and it pretty much was. We'll explore that, take a look at all that. And then we'll lean into my liens. I have some liens, and I've kind of settled into a place with liens real quick. I think I'm gonna, you know, going forward, especially on Sunday, when I look at liens, I actually went to and I want liens that last night. But let's take a look, at least this week, some big name players who are looking good. But you know, the numbers are high. So that's why they're only liens. But if you're looking for some action, you're looking for some plays, maybe I'll say something that you agree with. I do have five liens here that I feel really, really good about. Also have some touchdown props as well. We're not crushing it, but we're hitting a little bit, at least, maybe one out of four on average. So we hit one last night. So I do have four of them. And by the way, one of them is a plus 500 situation. And it looks really good on paper. And then there's another one that's plus 400 that I'm gonna hang my hat on the old, he's due. So we'll get into that. And then we'll talk college football with our man, Josh Chevalier of Fantasy Points College. How about Josh Chevalier last week going five and oh on the propage. Great job right there. The guys at Fantasy Points College, especially Josh, really know the college football game. They know how to do props. They knew how to do projections. Absolutely crushed it last week. We've been doing pretty well. I do look forward to Sundays because I had my pick of the litter last night. As I kind of say a lot, when we have a national standalone game, I'm kind of stuck here. I got to have some propage. That's one of the reasons why we started popping out the liens, which actually, and this also is my fear.

I don't, I like liens. I like, you know, giving recommendations. But what we don't like is when the liens do better than the actual plays. Let's take a look. By the way, make sure you download the Prop Points podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your pods. I did bring up, and I didn't have the courage to play it, but I had to throw it out there. I'm like, Sam Darnold is running for five yards. And he did. It took a while. He didn't do anything for a long time, but he did scamper off for what? 17 yards on that one play. And I did, I fell very strongly. And again, I was a little worried about playing it officially because I knew my man was going to get the ball. But I really thought strongly that Emmanuel Wilson would not have a big game on the ground. He did not. So we actually took the under the receiving. I don't think he actually even had a reception in the game over, we went under 80.5 and he did have a target, but my man only got 52 total yards, 14 carries. I didn't necessarily expect Denver to be in the lead, quite frankly. And though the Wilson prop does kind of lead us to the real buzzkill and six more yards and we had a great night, but AJ Barner, it just wasn't in the cards. Like I said, I'm thinking that this is the way I kind of think things through. I try and predict, you know, feel it out. And I'm like, well, I don't think they're going to run the ball with Wilson with any success. And they did not. And I do think they're going to double Jackson Smith and Jigba, which they did. But and they asked a question on the broadcast after JSN, then who? And that remains an unknown answer. Well, last night it was Cooper Cup. Cooper Cup had not done much, but he had 10 targets in the game. He bailed them out a number of times, five for 50 Kind of regret that. But we'll revisit Cooper Cup. I mean, Barner was a non-factor. He was out there running a lot of routes, though. He was blocking more than usual, but I thought they would have to throw a lot. 22 yards was pretty doable, and we come six yards shy on that one. And then, well, let's look at the positive one, because I spent a lot of time talking about RJ Harvey yesterday. He even said you might want to lighten that puppy up, unfortunately.
