[Music] I’m Josh Larkey this is the Dominator welcome in everybody today I will be analyzing weeks 15 16 and 17 for the fantasy playoffs and for bestas ball tournaments on Underdog fantasy I’m going to discuss 13 stances that I have rapid fire on a few team schedules that I believe are very good and a few that have me really concerned and in some cases I will touch on the very specific players to make it so crystal clear that I like their Fantasy Playoff schedule uh let’s let’s just start off with one player I am very certain has a great schedule derck Henry now with the Ravens week 14 he gets his bye the big dog gets to rest then he faces the New York GI on the road then the Steelers then the Texans on the road so he he smashes the tech the the Giants in New York in week 15 I think they win by a couple touchdowns this is a 100 yard two touchdown three touchdown effort from the big dog quite possibly I think they beat the Steelers it’s kind of a muddy divisional game but I think we can still get a decent amount of yardage multiple touchdowns in his range of outcomes in what should be another uh pretty convincing win and then he gets his favorite opponent the Texans in week 17 Derrick Henry did struggle last year against the Texans but a lot of that was simply the Titans offensive line before last year Derrick Henry had five straight games over 125 rushing yards against the Texans four of those five games were over 200 rushing yards number two the 49ers have the nut schedule in the fantasy playoffs week 15 they faced the Rams week 16 they travel to face the Dolphins and then week 18 they get the lions at home essentially the 49ers are playing three offenses in the Rams dolphins and lions that can keep pace and make it an interesting shootout type game and all three teams still have question marks in their defensive secondary we absolutely love that for all these 49ers players I I I’ve seen rumors Debo Samuel mik get traded I’m I’m not quite sure exactly how it plays out but as we see every year injuries happen yes today today today late May 2024 of course you’re not going to be able to project Christian mcaffrey Brandon auk Debo Samuel Ricky piol George KD all for Good Seasons but there’s a good chance uh someone like Debo Samuel gets traded players get hurt during the season you just simply want 49ers on your fantasy teams take three n Harris bad Jaylen Warren good on a serious note if we look at the Steelers final three games for the fantasy season week 15 at the Eagles week 16 at the Ravens week 17 they host the Chiefs I mean holy [ __ ] folks if you’re the Steelers you have to face the the Eagles Ravens Chiefs these are three games that I assume the Steelers lose and I I simply don’t want the grinder back in N Harris I’d much rather have the the guy that was fifth among all running backs and receptions last year that was Jaylen Warren that is the guy that I want on the Steelers for the Fantasy Playoff stretch run for those best ball tournaments on Underdog fantasy number four the Cardinals have a brutal schedule until their bye the the fantasy playoffs at least for their running game looks pretty good let’s actually just speed go through all their opponents until they’re week like I said it’s a brutal schedule at the bills loss hosting the Rams probably a loss hosting the Lions lost loss hosting the commanders maybe they sneak a win there I I lean Cardinals at the ners loss at the Packers loss host the Chargers loss at the Dolphins loss host the Bears loss host the Jets loss I I think they’re losing most of those games obviously I don’t actually think they’re going to lose all those games necessarily I would just if I had to choose win or loss I’d say they’re more likely to lose all of the games that I said they were going to lose then they get their bye then it starts to get pretty pretty good for James Conor and Trey Benson they their round three rookie because at Seattle at the Vikings then back hosting Seattle so three winnable games Seattle Minnesota Seattle then they host the Patriots in week 15 they travel to Carolina to face the Panthers in week 16 and then they go on the road to face the Rams in week 17 so if we look at that Fantasy Playoff schedule Patriots Panthers I think theyd beat I think the Cardinal beat both those teams that’s gonna be good for the running game I think those could even be blowouts potentially I think the Cardinals have an ascending offense and then the Rams and week 17 the Rams lost Aaron Donald and you might be able to run against them this upcoming season take number five Titans Stacks could be money I I think the Titans lose all three games in the fantasy playoffs but I think there’s some high-scoring potential there we’ve got two Dome games and then the third game is in Jacksonville where there’s usually decent weather in December so we’ve got at the Colts week 15 you can you can throw on the Colts it’s it’s either a the Colts I believe it’s a a retractable roof so it’s it’s either a a dome game or if there’s good weather it’s just a good weather game at the Jaguars probably a good weather weather game another questionable secondary and then they host the Texans and there I think in in general uh we’re we should be optimistic about the the Titans ability to pass on all three divisional opponents that they’re probably going to be trailing against I I think the I think the AFC South is one of the best divisions in football so I I think the Titans facing that Gauntlet of their opponents it could be good for the passing him it could be good for will Levis Calvin Ridley DeAndre Hopkins maybe even Choi okono you depending on if Tony Paul to Taj Spears is heavily involved in the passing game one of those guys might hit now before we hit take number six I have a viral tweet on Twitter now it’s at one and a half million views and Counting I put out my win loss predictions for every NFL team my Twitter is Jay Larkey tweets it is my pin tweet and speaking of the Titans Titans fans are pissed because I predicted the Titans to go six and 11 their win total in the betting markets is 6.5 juice to the under juice to the under essentially betting markets are telling you they think the Titans Go six and 11 I have them at six and 11 in that throw on Twitter I go through my process step by step I outline why I don’t actually have any flaming hot takes in this process because I really don’t and I tell you exactly how I view all 32 NFL teams I give you win probabilities for all 32 teams in all 272 games trust me my team tiar the the standings it’s well worth the read it is my pin tweet I don’t say that about too many things this is something that I put about 50 hours worth of research into it’s at one and a half million views on Twitter so good chance a lot of you have seen it but if not I I think it’s worth the read genuinely I I wouldn’t recommend saying that’s gonna be a waste of your time number six Patriots budget Stacks good uh you draft rookie Drake May and then these guys are all going like even Drake May round 15 16 17 18 at best Ball Mania drafts rookie wide receivers Jaylen p and Javon Baker tight end Hunter Henry veteran receiver Kendrick Bourne I think the Patriots lose their week 15 16 and 17 games but there’s no secondaries that are too intimidating to me right now and I think they’re going to Trail in all three of these at the Cardinals in week 15 at the bills in week 16 and then against the Chargers in week 17 I think there’s a chance the Patriots have Drake May letting it rip and there’s three secondaries there that might be exploitable number seven lion schedule bad now before we get into their schedule let’s just talk about Jared goff’s home road splits I don’t usually like to do splits but every year it’s alarming just how bad Jared go is on the road compared to at home so let’s look at the past two years that’s 17 games at home 1 games on the road at home 277 pass yards per game on the road 253 so it’s still a lot of Road passing yards but that’s definitely a drop at home he’s averaging nearly eight yards per pass attempt that’s only at 7.2 on the road so on the road roughly a League average Quarterback with his efficiency maybe A Cut Above kind of kind of average at home uh MVP candidate and then we get to the touchdown interception ratio he’s thrown n interceptions on the road or nine interceptions at home in 17 games 10 interceptions on the road N9 vers 10 very very similar but 17 passing touchdowns on the road 42 at home essentially he’s averaged one passing touchdown per game on the road but two and a half two and a half over twice as many two and a half times as many passing touchdowns at home and the the two matchups in week 16 and week 17 were All the Monies getting won in fantasy football and best ball oh boy week 16 at the Chicago Bears could be a bad weather game in Chicago the Chicago Bears were a top five overall defense down the stretch last year and then in week 17 at the 49ers you’re facing potentially two top five defenses on the road with Jared gof this is s this is certainly less than ideal for for bullish Lions drafters one thing I am bullish on though is Underdog fantasy this episode is made possible by Underdog fantasy and Underdog fantasy is the leader in best ball when you go to join an underdog fantasy best ball draft it fills very quickly especially now it’s best Ball Mania season baby best Ball Mania five I can’t believe they’re at best Ball Mania five already $15 million in prizes they’re giving out 15 million with 1.5 million to First playing in beste ball leagues makes you better it helps train you on player value and strategy and Underdog offers a lot more than just beste ball contest they

underworld and go draft your ass off welcome back everyone this is the Dominator I’m Josh Lurkey stance number eight of 13 Brock Bowers we like this schedule week 15 the Las Vegas Raiders new tight end week 15 he gets the Falcons they’re one of the worst linebacking cores in the entire NFL Week 16 the Jaguars these are both home games Falcons and jaguars so it’s in the Las Vegas Raiders Dome uh week week 17 or week 16 against the Jaguars they their pass rush Duo of Josh Allen and Trevon Walker combined for 27 and a half sacks last year they’re going to generate a pass rush on this mediocre Raiders offensive line I foresee short passes and screens to Brock Bowers and then week 17 the Saints Pete Werner Willie gay this is possibly the worst outside linebacker duo in the NFL of the Saints it’s on the road but it’s okay the Saints still play in a dome Demario Davis is a star at middle linebacker he’s been a star in the past but he’s 35 years old it could hit clock could strike midnight at any time for him and safety Tyron Matthew is 32 years old it’s an aging and uh not particularly great defense right now Brock Bowers is probably going to have his usage increase as the season goes along as most rookie pass catchers do and we like that we 15 16 17 schedule stance nine Jonathan Taylor can Feast week 15 at the Broncos the Broncos are my pick to be the worst team in the NFL this upcoming season I I I like almost no no position groups on this Broncos team I’m currently living in Denver it’s it’s atrocious the Broncos are terrible they they were the worst run defense last year I think Jonathan Taylor runs all over them week 16 faces the Titans I think the Titans are are not a good team I I don’t believe in the defense and I think Mike Vel was sneakily one of the better NFL head coaches I think his loss is going to really open Titans fans eyes to how they were overperforming and you might be like oh Mike Fel uh I I didn’t like this or that and a lot of people are trying to Hype up the new guy really the the new guy the new head coach for the Titans Brian C Callahan the the former offensive coordinator of the Bengals who wasn’t really on anyone’s head coaching radar as like a a must candidate to interview to to have get the job Callahan is going from Joe burough Jamar Chase T Higgins to will Levis Calvin Ridley DeAndre Hopkins that’s a steep drop off I simply just don’t believe in the Titans in General on offense on defense so I think the Colts blow out the the Broncos I think they beat the divisional opponent the Titans in week 16 and then week 17 at the New York Giants another one where Giants run defense has struggled in recent years I think they’re going to blow out the Giants Colts are a fringe playoff Contender I think Jonathan Taylor closes out the season with three good games I think the Colts go three and0 down the stretch people if you want more content from me if you if you already checked out the win loss standings prediction thread where I walk through exactly how to calculate win totals how I do it myself step by step so you can recreate that process and you just want a formal article not on Twitter go to playerprofiler.com I have an article up on the site right now on the Chargers I discuss the Chargers adps and best ball and how they simply don’t make sense when you look at the charger schedule their win totals to teams with similarly priced players via ADP I look at the Chargers offensive an ecosystem and environment I look at the Chargers defense I outline a very bullish and I think a pretty realistic case for why the Chargers are one of the two or three most undervalued teams overall in bestas ball just for the entire season playerprofiler.com check that article out it’s free to read 10 stance 10 the Broncos passing game uh oh we we might we might like it at least for the fantasy playoffs so I I’m not really a bow Knicks guy necessarily but there’s a chance Bon Nicks the rookie is comfortable he’s settled in he’s rolling by the end of the year and the Broncos get three teams that will likely have below average secondaries in 2024 and three opponents who project to beat the Broncos week 15 they they host the Colts the Colts have a bad secondary but I think they’re going to be a pretty decent team so they’re going to be able to pass against the Colts but they’re going to lose week 16 at the Chargers only the Washington commanders gave up more pass yards per game last year than the Chargers on draft day the Chargers did not address their defensive secondary until the fifth round I think the Chargers beat them and I I think the Broncos can pass against them and then week 17 at the Bengals Bengals and other team that’s defense is just in shambles they quietly gave up the most yards per pass attempt in the entire NFL last year I like defensive coordinator L anarumo the problem is he’s just dealing with a severe lack of talent so the Broncos have three pretty tasty matchups for their pass game to end the season take number 11 the Dolphins offense has a tough schedule week 15 at the Texans it’s a tough Houston secondary but it could be a high-scoring game that one’s not bad but it’s not really great either uh I think it’s fine but then week 16 they host the 49ers we don’t like to see that we we don’t like to see that we don’t want to see Tu taga facing that pass rush we don’t want to see that and then week 17 at the Browns this is likely a bad weather Cleveland game against a good pass defense I I’m just gen generally concerned about the this Dolphins end of season schedule I said that last year about the Dolphins schedule and sure enough you you weren’t getting that many fantasy points from this passing game down the stretch last year either it fizzled a little bit now with my my win loss record predictions at Jury tweets on Twitter you can actually look and see I sneakily I I don’t love the Dolphins playoff schedule but I do actually think they finish one game ahead of the bills in the standings despite a tough late season stretch I outline exactly why I believe that to be the case I don’t think it’s a hot take check check it out STS 12 out of 13 we’re almost done folks oh it’s it’s been a wild it’s been a good been a good 20 minutes with you good people I think the the Bengals running backs have a a good fantasy playoff schedule I I just like them in general with their adps Zach Moss Chase Brown they’re cheap and their their week 15 16 schedule week 15 at the Titans Bengals should win this game I think they’ll be able to run on the Titans week 16 they host the Browns the Browns pass defense looks pretty good their run game was uh their run defense was was questionable at times last year I also think the Bengals beat the Browns and put up some points against them and then week 17 beautiful they host the Broncos last year’s NFL worst run defense travels to Cincinnati Bengals should blow out the Broncos I I could see Zach Moss scoring multiple touchdowns having 100 yards on the ground there we like that playoff schedule and the final take 13 the best for last Falcons running backs good we love bejan Robinson so first off I I did strength of schedule metrics that’s in my win totals analysis thread on Twitter and the Falcons I believe have the easiest overall schedule by multiple metrics that I’ve created that I outlined in that thread so first off Falcons easy schedule then if we just look at overall the schedule and kind of how it culminates with the fantasy playoffs weeks one two and three the Falcons don’t have a don’t have a great time because they they host the Steelers they travel to face the Eagles and then they host the Chiefs hopefully they they beat the Steelers and then maybe they lose to the Chiefs and the Eagles but then it gets much easier hosting the Saints hosting the Buccaneers at the Panthers hosting the Seahawks at the Buccaneers five games that I think they can win they host Dallas they probably lose that game but then they travel to the Saints they travel to the Broncos by week they host the Chargers they travel to the Vikings that’s a lot of winnable games the only games in that stretch I think that they most likely would lose at the Eagles hosting the Chiefs hosting the Cowboys so essentially uh a ton of winnable games there I actually think all their other games are winnable weeks 15 16 17 the fantasy playoffs at the Raiders you can run on the Raiders hosting the Giants we’ve talked about the Giants a few times already and then at the commanders these are three games believe the Falcons win they potentially win them by multiple scores against the Raiders Giants and commanders the Raiders game is in a dome so we don’t have to worry about bad weather they host the New York Giants so we don’t have to worry about bad weather in New York and then they travel to the commanders whose defense should just be terrible once again this year for week 17 cannot get enough of drafting running back bejon Robinson in the mid first round on Underdog fantasy I’m Josh lury this is the Dominator that was thir 13 stances in just over 20 minutes thank you everyone hey I
