Having uncontrolled eosinophilic esophagitis or EOE can mean you're stuck in many ways, like cutting your food into tiny pieces.

Or stuck chewing food for a long time. Dupixant dupellumab, a prescription medicine for patients one year and older weighing at least 33 pounds can help with that. It's a breakthrough treatment that can reduce inflammation in the esophagus and improve swallowing. How about this? Dupixant is not a steroid. It proactively treats EOE so you can get ahead of it.

Severe allergic reactions, including skin reactions, can occur. Get help right away if you have trouble breathing or wheezing or swelling of your face, mouth, tongue or throat. Tell your doctor of new or worsening joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection or asthma. Don't change or stop other treatments without talking to your doctor.

Hey, what's up? Week five is here, and Brian Drake and I are back with another Friday edition of the Fantasy Points Podcast, where we go through every single upcoming matchup, and we isolate two interesting and enticing or scary matchups, and we've got some good calls here for you. So thanks for subscribing. As always, throw us a bone with a good comment, and good luck in week five, and you're welcome.

Brian Drake (2:26)

All across the Fantasy Universe, it's the weekend of week five. How you doing, everybody? Brian Drake alongside the guru, John Hansen, founder of fantasypoints.com, and we're here to do our weekly players to exploit and players to shy away from podcast. And some games you're going to get multiple guys that we're leaning in on, and some games maybe some guys we're not really feeling. But John, how you doing? How you feeling as we head into week five, first week with a couple of buys? So the Panthers and Kansas City Chiefs are off this week.

John Hansen (2:57)

I'm feeling better and better as the weeks progress.

I had some dumb prop plays that I tried to sneak on in there, like low end guys, but over the last week or so, I've kind of tightened it up. So I feel pretty good about where I'm at. We're recording this right before the Thursday night game. So we'll see if George Pickens goes over, I think it's 61 and a half yards. I also like Chris Godwin over 27 and a half, and Cade Otten, Don't Be Rotten over three and a half grabs. So I'll be in a very good mood Friday morning if those three hit. I'm actually expecting all three or else I wouldn't have played them. But you know what it is, it is gambling. So you do never know. But overall, I'm feeling good about where I'm at here. Fantasy Points Data Suite 2 is so much better than last year. So I feel like I'm doing better research thanks to the improved data suite.

Brian Drake (3:53)

And if you want to check the data suite out for yourself, or just go look at some of our betting content, our college football content. Yeah, college football DFS is a real thing. Tom Brawley's betting, we've got all of the DFS content. It's all at fantasypoints.com. Use code DS2 to save 15% off a subscription.

John Hansen (4:11)

By the way, real quick, our guy, Josh Chevalier, let me give him a shout out because he has come on my Vsens show every Friday, four weeks in a row with college picks and he's crushing every week. Every week's a winner. I mean, how you could have probably bought a subscription just from that.

Brian Drake (4:30)

Yeah, that's the thing is there's so much low hanging fruit out there in fantasy sports and fantasy sports gambling. We crushed the UFL like nobody's business. College DFS and college props were hammering at home. Tom Brawley's up like 9000% if you follow his betting. Code Grinder will save you 70% off. I looked it up from the last pod, 70% off his subscription. We do that monthly, I believe. So you can get a really great rest of the month here for 70% off over at fantasypoints.com. So what we do here on the show, we go game by game. I'll give you the line, I'll give you the over under, all that fun stuff. John's going to point out a couple of matchups that he's either feeling or not feeling. That'll help you for your props, your DFS setting your lineup in redraft league.
