Some big calls being made here for what is a massive five-game Saturday slate on Draftstars as Roody and Hedge tackle not just a plethora of players but also rip into a debate about DS salaries!  There is also a completely unintentional and somewhat embarrassing Jack-off late in the pod! But just whose Jack will be bigger, er, score better???

How many Suns is too many for this $40,000 Saturday slate on Draftstars?  Whilst Hedge flirts with the boundaries of common sense, Roody rekindles his love affair with a 'ruckman' who looks to have fallen off the fantasy cliff.  Plus In's and Out's, weather check a look at as many players as we can squeeze in.

"I think it's the best slate of the 2019 season so far, and I don't mind telling you the team I picked is amazing." Hedge is full of confidence heading into a huge Easter Saturday of DFS action.  Roody meanwhile, is not-so-quietly confident that Hedge is kidding himself.

The Dockers and the Tigers are missing some prime movers which means value for savvy AFL DFS coaches in a five-game slate absolutely brimming with value and myriad build options.  Hedge and Roody tackle every position and try and get to every player you need to know about to take down the $40,000 Saturday Slate on Draftstars.

"Tonight will largely come down to what you think will happen in the game as opposed to raw value of under priced players" The Fantasy Insider AFL Podcast is back for R3 as Roody and Hedge attempt to find the value in two sides that have been absolutely horrid to start the 2019 season.

"Are you kidding me? Just throw out your JLT form, he was probably rucking against Caleb Daniel!" Listen to Hedge and Roody run the fantasy form over (almost) every player lining up in this monster 4-game $50,000 Saturday slate. With a late 4:35pm start to your Saturday football, you really have no excuses not to make the Fantasy Insider AFL Pod part of your DFS prep!

From must-have's and pod-plays to unplayable's and the 'Peloton of Poop,' Hedge and Roody run through each and every one of the 44 Carlton and Richmond players taking the fantasy field for the $100,000 season opener on Draftstars. Read the most [comprehensive single-game DFS preview](https://www.fantasyinsider.com.au/blog/AFL/fantasy-insider-100k-afl-season-opener) we've ever produced for more. Check out our [AFL Lineup Cruncher](https://www.fantasyinsider.com.au/lineupcruncher/v3/afl).

Data Darryl joins Wye to discuss all things NFL DFS for Week 15 of the National Football League. Both of them admit this week is very wide receiver heavy with very few options at the running back position. They also agree on a certain rookie QB & a Tight End closing in on a franchise touchdown record as must starts.

Data Darryl joins Wye to discuss the Week 14 NFL DFS Slate. This week has plenty on offer but what is particularly interesting as the two high powered offenses in the Chiefs & Rams faces two of the better defenses in the NFL in the Ravens & Bears. The two really like going premium at WR this week especially the podcast's spirit animal: Julio Jones. They also give you starts at every DFS position including defense.

In the Week 13 Edition of the NFL DFS from Down Under Podcast, Dr Data joins Josh Wye to celebrate a successful Week 12 that could have been even better if Leonard Fournette didn’t get ejected for throwing a punch at a player wearing a helmet. The guys start the podcast spruiking a Week 13 slate that features half a dozen games with 50 or more expected points (according to the Vegas lines) and the variety of line up options that brings. Darryl, in particular, mentions the insane amount of options the Fantasy Insider Line-up Cruncher produced for him. Throughout the season, the guys have talked about game script in fantasy and how it can affect your mindset in selecting certain players. If you see a certain game going one way it will suit the running backs on one team and then the receivers on the other or vice versa. This week a good example is TJ Yeldon, both Darryl & Wye have him listed as a value play this week given the game script for the Jaguars hosting the Colts. With Fournette out and the Colts likely putting up some points, the game script should suit Yeldon more with Cody Kessler at quarterback than Carlos Hyde. Last week, both the boys had a common play at receiver in Danny Amendola. Unfortunately for Amendola (and the podcast), he sustained an injury earlier in the game and failed to give adequate return on investment. This week, both Darryl & Wye love the upside of Corey Davis against the Jets. The Titans are 7 point favourites at home and Davis has been a target machine of late and has really exploded in games that Mariota has completed from start to finish. In those games, Davis is averaging 19.3 PPR points per game. Chase Daniel, Case Keenum, Austin Ekeler, Aaron Jones, Brandin Cooks, Adam Thielen, DaVante Parker, Eric Ebron and the Chiefs defense are all discussed at length as good or potential plays this week. To hear all of the boys thoughts on this Week, check out the podcast!

The Week 12 Edition of NFL DFS from Down Under sees Dr Darryl Data join Josh Wye to talk all things Thanksgiving, Football and DFS. With three TNF games on Thanksgiving, Week 12 provides the unique opportunity for DFS players to triple play with thanksgiving only line-ups, Sunday only line-ups and entire Week 12 line-ups. With the Chiefs and Rams on a well earned bye, only three Week 12 matches are above the 50 point total with the Falcons @ Saints being the most desirable fantasy matchup with a 60 point total. The usual suspects in Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara, Julio Jones and Michael Thomas are all mentioned in this spot and all provide a solid fantasy floor. For the second time this season (and with absolutely zero risk of OJ Howard being a surprise active), Wye slams the table for a Jameis Winston and Cameron Brate stack. He wants to make America Brate Again. The Fantasy Insider Line-Up Cruncher agrees as Darryl mentions that Brate is one of the better value options at the tight end position. The two also agree on Leonard Fournette this week who has racked up nearly 60 touches in two weeks since his return from a hamstring injury. The most surprising name to appear on both Darryl & Josh’s plays this week was Danny Amendola. The former Patriot turned Dolphin is one of the very few healthy pass catchers for Ryan Tannehill this week when they take on the Colts. Amendola is seeing approximately 6 targets per game and slow receivers have had success this season against Indianapolis with Seth Roberts, Dede Westbrook, Jermaine Kearse and Julian Edelman all putting up playable numbers. Outside of Amendola, the cruncher through up some surprising and overlooked names in the fantasy realm and could be real points of difference if successful this week. Chase Daniel, Baker Mayfield, Gus Edwards, Jalen Richard, Marquise Goodwin, Doug Baldwin, Nick Vannett and the Chargers defence are all discussed at length as good or potential plays this week. To hear all of the boys thoughts on this Week, check out the podcast.

This week is TE premium week, with the top options at the position headlining our favourite NFL DFS plays of NFL Week 11. Darryl & Wye give you their best plays across all the positions and discuss how to approach the Chiefs/Rams game with the staggering 63.5 point total.

In the absence of Dr. Darryl Data once again, Joshes Wye and Wootton chat all the Week 10 NFL action in the daily fantasy world. Some great matchups with solid totals expected and big favourites home and away, so we're looking forward to some big cashing! The **Fantasy Insider Lineup Cruncher** is available for Moneyball and Draftstars at **www.f****antasyinsider.com.au**. QBs The Browns' Baker Mayfield has a nice matchup, at a solid pricepoint in what could be a shootout with Atlanta. Quarterbacks have had some success against the Patriots (even if they dont win) so Marcus Mariota is a solid choice, while Ryan FitzMAGIC is back once again against the Redskins who's defence might not be as good as some might think. Matty Ice is quietly having a great season for a team having a down season so the Browns v Falcons could be an interesting one for QB's! **RBs** Duke Johnson (Cleveland) Dion Lewis (Tennessee) Melvin Gordon (LA Chargers) Aaron Jones (Green Bay) Josh Adams (Philadelphia) **WRs** Michael Thomas (New Orleans) Julio Jones (Atlanta) Tyler Boyd (Cincinnatti) Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Green Bay) Josh Gordon (New England) Anthony Miller (Chicago) **TEs** OJ Howard (Tampa Bay) Vance McDonald (Pittsburgh) Jack Doyle (Indianapolis) Vernon Davis (Washington) **DEF** NY Jets Kansas City Chiefs LA Chargers **Locks of the Week** Michael Thomas (WR) Tyler Boyd (WR) Duke Johnson (RB) NY Jets (DEF) **www.fantasyinsider.com.au** for all your NFL Daily Fantasy tools!

Woot and Wye look at the DFS slate for Week 8 of the National Football League all by themselves. With Darryl Data 35,000 feet above Sea Level, he was unable to participate in the episode but still sent through the lineup cruncher's most valuable plays for DraftStars and Moneyball.

Woot, Wye & Data Darryl cast their eyes over the Week 7 NFL DFS slate. Darryl gives us his best $ per point plays from the Fantasy Insider Lineup Cruncher. Woot and Wye agree some strong plays this week and are Thielen good about it.

Wye joins Darryl LIVE at Fantasy Insider HQ in Melbourne to chat NFL DFS for Week 6 of the 2018 season. They immediately look at two matches - Kansas City @ New England and Tampa Bay @ Atlanta - both have very high implied totals by the bookmakers in Vegas. They outline the rest of their favourite options for the slate and Wye bangs the table to Make America Brate Again.

In Episode 5 of NFL DFS from Down Under, Dr Data joins Woot and Wye to discuss the Week 5 NFL DFS Slate. Week 5 features plenty of games with high Vegas totals with one game in particular with a staggering total nearly 60 points. The three then talk about the various triple-stacking options in that game. The Fantasy Insider Lineup Cruncher also likes some stacking options outside of that game including Blake Bortles, but then question left to be answered is what Wide Receiver to pair with Bortles? Woot and Wye also recommended a Rodgers/Adams stack in what they expect to be a high scoring affair when the Packers face the Lions. One name that kept popping up through the podcast was Sony Michel, who projects as a great play on all platforms this week. Woot and Wye highlighted that his touches have increased greatly week to week and that New England has averaged 177.6 rushing yards a game across their last five against Indianapolis. Andy Dalton, TJ Yeldon, David Johnson, Christian McCaffrey, Emmanuel Sanders, Keke Coutee, David Njoku, Geoff Swaim and the Titans defense are all discussed at length as good or potential plays this week. To hear all of the boys thoughts on this Week, check out the podcast below.

We're finally here, the last Saturday in September is upon us and let's not bury the lead shall we… "Dan Venables is a must-play". Who said this? Why would someone say this? What other nonsense is being discussed on this show? Enjoy a fun-filled season finale!
