#UFL #UFLDFS #DraftKings
Hello everyone and welcome in coach Craigs Sports this is the UFL DFS video for week number one this video is coming out pretty late it’s been a really busy week been waiting for a lot of these depth charts to drop and everything else like that I believe at least at the time
Of this recording we have still yet to see the depth chart for the San Antonio bras and DC Defenders so take that game with a little bit of a grain of salt hopefully you have something coming out prior to you know the week the Slate actually starting but if there’s any
Major updates with that I will leave that down in the comments but for those of you that didn’t follow along last year with XFL with UFL I’m just going to kind of walk through my sheet overall uh you know as we get moving throughout the season we’ll be talking about some
Target shares percentage of carries percentage of uh snap count percentages and kind of how that all factors into things but right now we’re just kind of going with the information that we do have at hand the pricing and then just kind of my general thoughts whether or
Not I would play like a guy on gpp a pay down option a cash option and whether or not I would expect myself to be either above or below the field in terms of ownership percentage on certain players obviously ownership percentage will change slightly contest to contest so
Just keep that in mind with the context of the contest that you’re playing but without further Ado we’re going to jump right into the sheet for this week so we did kind of have a surprise for the Birmingham stadiums that jar Smith isn’t active this week so M Carell won the
Quarterback one job so it was between him and jar Smith essentially they said they’re going to use a two quarterback system and it seems like Adrien Martinez was always always a plan of that two quarterback system with his rushing upside that he does present overall I’m not really too interested in either
Adrien Martinez or mat caral this week you know if you really want to take a shot on mael you can I do expect he’s going to be fairly popular just because of the name because of the guy that had some NFL pedigree being a third round
Pick by the Carolina Panthers so if you want to go to them it makes some sense you know if you want to get really uh cheeky with the pay down option at quarterback maybe you go with Adrian Martinez hopefully he runs for enough yards maybe he runs in a touchdown or
Two but not really some I’m chasing for this week overall at running back we have CJ marble as a strong gpp option once again should be lean this backfield and then Ricky person Jr will be behind him for week number one Larry round tree is in active not really too interested
In Ricky person Jr myself personally there’s other pay down options at running back that I would be more interested in this week and then we move down the wide receivers so kind of the one major thing from the depth chart to take away of and keep in mind dep charts
At this point in time they’ve mean very little because we’ seen guys listen as starters and then play like 20% of snaps in the past and then the guy that was listed as the backup you know play 70% of the snaps so kind of take everything
With a grain assault but we did see Gary Jennings listed as a starter over Marlin Williams Marlin Williams is working his way back from injury though too so maybe just a way of eliminating him overall but the starters that they did have listed at wide receiver were Deion kinge
Gary Jennings and Amari Rogers so Amari Rogers most likely the sa guy Gary JS looks like he’ll be on the outside Marlon Williams was listed behind amario Rogers in the slots so we’ll see what that looks like moving forward but like I mentioned in the preview video Gary
Jennings and Marlin Williams both have some inside outside versatility in terms of being able to play on the outside or in the slot as wide receivers so when we’re looking at their wide receivers in general the only one I’m really halfway interested in is going to be Dion Kane
As a gpp option at $5,900 because he feels like the only guy that is relatively safe that we know he’s going to be out there on the field more times than not he has a little bit of upside as we did see as the season moved along last year and then obviously
Is going to be their kick returner once again then we moved down to tight end Jay sternberger solid gpp option once again we’ve seen what he did especially late in the season I think it was like four or five straight weeks that he scored a touchdown so definitely do like
His upside overall you know behind him not too interested in the other guys although they are pretty decent backup tight ends at that then in terms of the stallion defense I did list them as a potential cash option at $5,000 they’re the most expensive defense they’re one
Of the better defenses in the league and they go against the Arlon Renegades who did struggle at times offensively last season moving down to the Houston rough next we have the quarterback position where Jed gorano was listed as the quarterback one on the depth chart he will be the
Starter although head coach Curtis Johnson did say they will use multiple quarterbacks most likely for the first couple weeks Reed Senate is quarterback two behind him so not really interested in either of these two guys at this point in time it’s kind of like that old
Say that old adage if you have two quarterbacks you have W so not really interested in either guy this week we did have news that Mark Thompson their start running back will be inactive for week one due to his knee injury didn’t practice all week uh so there was a lot
Of reports saying that tyan Evans will be pretty big in that case if he doesn’t play so I like him as a pay down option at $5,100 and then TJ Pledger obviously did pretty well in Mark Thompson’s AB since last season so he’s in gpp option as
Well if you had to ask me at this point in time I probably would lean Evans a little bit more but I think both guys will be very involved in this backfield and then in terms of the wide receivers Kirk Merritt who comes over as a wide
Receiver from the Saints was only listed as running back three on the dep chart not listed as a wide receiver anywhere so that was kind of interesting Justin Hall remains kind of your solid gpp option $7,700 their returning leading receiver from last season and kind of the one
Surprise for me is that Steven Dunbar Jr is an active week one apparently DraftKings knew what they were doing with the pricing there because when they released the pricing then I saw $3,000 I figur he’d be a starter for sure and that would have been a cash game play
But he is in active week one which is kind of a surprise there and then I believe it is Anthony retif Williams and Chica kism both starting alongside Justin Hall so that is kind of interesting there Isaiah Heeney is another guy that will factor in although
It kind of sucks because Justin Hall and Isaiah Heeney both are better off in the slot you know being smaller wide receivers but they’re probably their two most talented wide receivers at this point in time so you know if you really want to take a shot on like a cheeky
Kism as a pay down option you could do that but Justin Hall is going to be the primary guy here especially since Steven dum Jr is not active this week which was a major surprise to me at tight end we saw Woody brandom inactive Brandon Bowman will get the start at least on
Paper Clint Sig is more of the receiving option so he’s a pay down option if you want to go that direction and in terms of their defense against the Memphis showboats I think the showboats are going to have a very very strong offense and I do have question marks about the
Rough next defense so I’m not going to be playing them this week overall and then we get down to the showboats who are on the opposite end of that game case cookus one of the better more talented quarterbacks in this league $10,000 gpp option no doubts about him
This week Troy Williams will be the backup behind him and Josh love will be inactive for week one but I do like the upside of case cookus overall at running back Darius Victor will get the start he’ll be the running back one he is a very solid gpp option at
$8,400 if you want to take a chance on a pay down guy behind him Titus TW is $4,000 He’s listed as the running back two on the dep chart although Trey Williams running back three has that pass catching upside and will’ll be doing some kick returning for this team
Overall and then uh in terms of the wide receivers you know mainly interested in Jonathan Adams Junior cash game option for me at $8,100 he is going to be their wide receiver one David Davis is expected to start on the outside opposite of him at $4,600 but don’t be surprised if we do
See some like DeAndre overtone and some other guys work in as well Vinnie Pali will be the starter in the slot mainly personally I’m interested in Jonathan Adams is that cash game play if you want to take some shots on David Davis you could do that as well but once again
Would not be surprised if DeAndre overtone and Lee Morris work into the mix as well D Anderson will be inactive for week number one and then in terms of the tight ends really just interested in Sage shat at $6,000 solid gpp option we saw what he could do last season and
Give pretty good upside from that tight end position although keep in mind with UFL DFS you do not have to start a tight end they are just essentially treated as another wide receiver in terms of the showboats defense I have them as a gpp option of $4,000 overall going against
Houston R next they do have some concerns at quarterback their best player Mark Thompson is not playing in this game so probably a defense that I’m going to be overweight to the field on this week overall although I’m not the greatest fan of the showboats defense overall they struggled at times last
Year and you know they retained cardinell Lake as the defensive coordinator they brought in some guys to kind of beef up this defense hopefully it pans out but at the same time some of these defenses that have had a lot of changes it might take them some time to
Kind of figure that out just in general I’ll move down to the Michigan panther next so I have EJ Perry $8,800 as a cash game play at quarterback he is going to offer you some pretty good passing numbers in what should be a pretty wideopen offense for the Michigan
Panthers this season with that change at offensive coordinator he does offer that dual threat ability with his rushing upside as well so he will be the guy that I probably do have the most exposure to just in general this week Danny etling will be the backup quarterback behind him bran larki is in
Active for week number one as well as Nate mccre at running back West Hills youit at $8,900 gpp option if you want to go there Matthew curn kind of a pay down option at $5,600 wouldn’t be shocked if Matthew curn outperforms West Hills in week one just because you know the familiarity
With the offensive coordinator there Raymond K the other running back I believe is still on the suspended list so we’re not going to talk about him kind of the one surprise on their depth chart this week was that Devon grade was not listed as a starter at wide receiver
He came over with the offensive coordinator figured him be him and Jordan Su on the outside t in the inside in the slot and then Marcus Sims was listed over Devon gray on this week 1 depth chart we’ll see what that looks like you know maybe that makes Sims a
Little bit of a pay down option if you want to go there I do still have some interest in Devon gray I would not be shocked you know if he out snaps you know either Marcus Sims or Jordan suel but we’ll just have to see how that all
Plays out for me primarily at the wide receiver position Trey Quinn is the kind of guy that I’m targeting $6,900 has a little bit of familiarity with EJ Perry just in general so I do have him kind of is a cash game option overall guy that I
Was typically over the field on on a lot of slates last year and then the other guy that we just have to mention John hiow former Boise Statewide receiver spent some time with the Eagles and the Chargers listed as a backup but at the flat minum $3,000 you know it doesn’t
Take too much for him to pay off at the price tag and then we move down to the tight end position Kukui is the only guy here $3,800 not a bad price tag for a tight end that could be involved in the passing game so he’s definitely a solid
Gpp option we see Derek D Jr listed as an active for week one and then Nick Jugos is on IR at this point in time in terms of the Panthers defense they’re going against the battle Hawks probably a tougher matchup but I do like the Panthers defense just in general you
Know if the battle Hawks get off to a slow start could be an interesting pay down defense overall moving down to the arlingon Renegades we have Luis Perez at quarterback he will be their kind of unquestioned quarterback one at this point in time so I do have him listed as
A gpp option is a tough match up against the Birmingham stallions though but he is one the more experienced quarterbacks in all Spring football at this point in time behind him Holton aers will be inactive for week one so Lindy Scott will be the backup and then in terms of
The running backs we got DayDay Hunter listed as inactive for this week so it will just be Davon Smith and Ley Brown you know if I had to pick one between the two I’m probably just going to go lety Brown because it’s going to be closer to a 50-50 split probably has a
Little bit better pass catching upside of the two backs and he is cheaper just in general then we move down to the wide receiver position for them so I kind of thought that Caleb vonesh would be the starting slot but the three listed wide receivers as starters are going to be
Deontay Bernett Javonte Payton and then Tyler Von so you know if you want to take some shots on Tyler Von Deontay Bernett makes some sense there Payton is a guy that does have some big play Upside as well but do not be surprised when they rotate a lot of these wide
Receivers once again if I had to pick one that I wanted to play for sure alongside Lis pres it’s probably going to be Deontay brunette but there is some upside for some other guys as well then at tight end we we got salth Canal returning $5,500 pretty good receiving
Threat there so he’s going to be a gpp option as well then we get down to the Renegades defense probably not a defense I’m playing this week overall it’s a tougher match up against the Birmingham stallions although you could make a case that birmingham’s kind of unsettled at
The quarterback position you know even if you think mael is a good quarterback it could be just kind of interesting to see how that offense clicks especially with a new quarterback at the helm just in general moving down to the DC Defenders dor T’s gpp option this is
Kind of that one game that we don’t have the depth charts for at this point in time as of the time of this recording so Jordan T $10,300 solid gpp option there are some question marks with his offensive weapons around him this year so that could be pretty interesting but
The rushing upside does make him pretty attractive just in general I might be a little bit underway to the field on him this week just because of some of those weapons that he does have at this point in time sounds like Cameron Harris will be the running back one this week you
Know if you really want to get to any of these running backs you can do it not anything I’m going out of my way for puka Williams Darius Higgins are also there we might see one of them get the inactive tag for this week because that
Seems to be the common theme so far this season and then in terms of the wide receivers Vincent Smith has been battling an injury this week so so if I’m being honest not really expecting him to play I expect Brandon Smith and Calvin Harman to kind of be the two wide
Receivers on the outside if you want to take some shots on Calvin Haron makes some sense there you know if you want to take some shots on whoever ends up being the starting slot receiver between Chris Rand and Kiki QT you could also do that as well tight end’s kind of an
Interesting position Alex Alice is more of a blocking tight end brly Moore can do a little bit of things he probably going to be the starter at $3,000 they did bring in Kane Smith who does have some NFL experience at 4,000 and then Sean berer is another blocking tight end
But he is on IR at this point in time in terms of their defense they are $4,800 I expect them to have a really good defense once again so there are gpp option for me Chase garbers will be getting his first career UFL start obviously with the bromas last year they really
Struggled at that offensive line position a lot of turnover there this year but how much better will they be and then what is that quarterback situation look like are they going to play Garbage the whole game or they going to flipflop between him and dty could be some upside to be had there
Just in general especially if they can generate some pressure then we move down to the bahas once again they are the other team that we don’t have the dep chart for at this point in time at the time of this recording so Chase carb is listed as the starting quarterback
$88,500 little bit of rushing upside there nothing too crazy but he has listed as the starter quintor Matty quarterback 2 safe to assume that Tom flacker will be in active uh so if you want to go after Chase garber’s $8,500 it’s a very appealing offense overall
Just because of the volume he could be very interesting from that aspect but at the same time there is some risk because if he comes out and he plays poorly they could switch over to dorat and not even think twice about it and then for the running back room not super interested
In any of these guys McFarland is the most expensive but I’m expecting a running back by committee a time share at this point in time early on in the season in terms of their wide receivers I think it’s going to be very interesting overall most likely have the
Most interest in Kirkland who is $8,300 we saw what he could do last season Marcus Stevenson also pretty interested in at $5,800 and then I do have Justin Smith and TJ vasher’s kind of pay down options whoever ultimately ends up starting in that other outside wide receiver spot
Should have some appeal as well you know if you really want to get to land in acres you could do that but $6,800 little bit Hefty for a PR tag for a guy that is more of just a possession receiver probably not giving you too too much upside one note was Matt Landers
Was not listed on DraftKings or at least at the time that I did this sheet if he’s been added since then I do apologize for that and then kind of at tight end you know Cody ladimore pretty much just a big slot wide receiver at this point in time $7,000 do expect some
Decent upside for him as well although that is getting up there in price tag if you consider him just a tight end but if you just consider him a big slot wide receiver kind of like Hakeem Butler is definitely does make some to get some exposure to him and then for the bramus
Defense $3,800 I think they’ll be improved from last year but how much better will they be overall and they are going against the DC Defenders there is some questions for this Defenders offense at this point in time so I don’t mind getting to the bras defense just in
General perhaps a little bit overweight to the field on them this week overall then we get down to the battle Hawks they’re led by Jim McCaron one of the better quarterbacks in the UFL this season he obviously did spend some time at the NFL level this past year as well GP PP option
$111,000 kind of the one detriment for him is he pretty much offers nothing in terms of rushing upside Manny Wilkins will be the back up behind him so we’ll see Brandon Silvers inactive for week number one kind of some important news that we got this week though at the
Running back position is that Mato Durant will be an active week one so Wayne Gman listed as the starter $88,500 looking like a pretty interesting cash gameplay Jacob Sailors a gpp pay down option behind him uh sailors did spend some time on the NFL practice squad with
The Falcons this most recent year and the wing Colman has kind of been that backup running back at the NFL level that has had a lot of success especially with the Giants when saquon Barkley went down if he’s looking like anything like his old self he should be dominating at
This level just in general and then for the wide receivers the three that we do have listed as starters Hakeem Butler Blake Jackson and darus Shepard all listed as gpp options all have some pretty significant upside Jeff Thomas is inactive for week one jaor Pearson is on
AR Marcel eight is list as a backup for this season we’ve seen a lot of times last year they did use four wide receivers so is that going to be Marcel Amman is it going to be Demarcus Bradley is it going to be somebody else we’ll
Just have to see as the year moves along I safe to assume it’s probably going to be Amman though and then we have the two tight ends Jake sou more of a blocker just in general Kamari AIT if you want to take a shot on a cheap tight end
$2,500 does have some receiving upside there and then for the battle Hawks defense I kind of have them listed as gpp option question question mark just because I like the Panthers what they’re going to be able to do this year on offense but maybe does that take them a
Couple weeks to move along EJ Perry is making his third career Spring football starts so not like he has a ton of ton of experience although I do really like his upside just in general but with that being said that’s a quick little rundown kind of on my UFL DFS sheet for week
