This is VSiN By The Books. He's Jensen Lewis. No, Dave Ross did not develop a thyroid problem overnight. I'm Dustin Swedelson filling in today as we get you set for the weekend of action in football. Still to come this hour, a lot to get to. Bottom of the hour, Ryan Dempster, World Series Champion, MLB Network, his breakdown of what we're seeing with the Brewers, waiting to find out who they'll face in the World Series. Then Kevin Harlan, one of the main voices of the National Football League, joins us in our final segment. Plenty to get to though along the way as far as the NFL is concerned and Jensen is going to help you get set for DFS lineups. It's now time for the Daily Gridiron.

SPEAKER_3 (2:27)

This is the Daily Gridiron.

Dustin Swedelson (2:31)

You guys have the best theme music. I just want to know like, how could you guys Bogart like all the good theme songs? I had to beg for a rebrand of Cashing Out. By the way, that's my normal show in case you don't know who I am. I do the overnight show, the late night show. That's why you maybe have not heard of me or seen me because you wake up like a normal person. But I am here hanging out with Jensen today.

You guys have the best theme music. I got to tell you.

Jensen Lewis (2:55)

We got lucky, buddy. Our creative department, incredible and a lot of good graphics. By the way, your new logo, though, for Cashing Out. I mean, let's not put the cart before the horse here. You might be leader in the clubhouse.

As far as the logos of the show go, as far as getting some money here for the DFS side. Yes. Yes. Exactly, brother.

Here's what I want to do. I'll give you my fan duel lineup. I'll get your organic reaction here. Cause I know you got a couple of guys that I aligned with that you might have some player props on. I know we've talked Josh Allen. And if not for him, have the Buffalo Bills won a game this year? Probably not, but he is a premium play. He has a dual threat nature.

I do like him for a rushing touchdown. That might be a tease ahead for Red Alert. Stay tuned. But I think he's an easy plug and play right there. As is Bajon Robinson, Falcons and the Bears. I think this one's got a chance to soar over the total. Both these offenses could go for a high 20s, low 30s easily. And his floor is very, very high in its own right. Najee Harris, I think is one guy that you're targeting. It's a salary saver for me.

But also I think from an efficiency standpoint, this could be that backfield committee that starts to take shape. Hey, we know that Kamp Scadaboo had a couple of really awful fumbles here that John Harbaugh might say, yeah, kid, you know what? Let me show you how a veteran does it here. So it might be a little sneaky salary saving play. Pukatakua, a million targets just this past week. And I think he gets the same volume play against a Cardinals defense that has been absolutely pathetic. Drake London, plug and play. When Michael Pennex Jr. is healthy and is in, that guy is just getting 10, 12, 15 targets a day. Wanda Robinson, let's jump back in here on a former giant, as you well know. I think from the slot, he's going to have some decent volume, but let's see what this Titan offense can do against. I think Colts team that might be right for the upset. We'll see a little tricky match up there. Isaiah, likely excellent in the red zone. We obviously know the chemistry with Jamison and what that offense will look like. So I like him as a mid-tier option. We're going to go double tight ends actually, Juwan Johnson has been a favorite target here, a target here of Tyler Schuch. I think that's a guy that as a salary saving option too, allows us to get the big boys in Pukinakua, Drake London, Josh Allen and Bijon Robinson in there. And then I don't think we're reinventing the wheel here, Dustin Panthers against the backups here for the Philadelphia Eagles on the road. That is my fan dual line up for Bet the Build. Any similarities for you and what you like in the player prop front?
