00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson, and it is time for the Fantasy Football

4
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: Focus and we talked about these UH playoff games in

5
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: the last segment. Now we'll pick our DFS lineup here.

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: If we get through this quickly enough, we'll pick one

7
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: of the games and we'll do a single game Captain's

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: share game with that too. Yeah, one of the standalones.

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do the UM we want do the Sunday

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: gaming with this Saturday night. You done, Matt, we'll talk

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: about that. Let's pick our lineup now, so let's take

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: a look at the defenses and special teams. We were

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: actually doing a the NFL fift K huddle single entry here,

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: so if we're not here on Monday, you know why

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: we're Yeah, we've hit this one. UM, so you got

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: the forty Niners defense at think the Eagles should be

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: the most expensive. The Eagles are thirty two hundred, the

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs are thirty one hundred, and the Cowboys are three thousand.

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: The Bills are hundred. The I like, I don't like

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: the Bills are said I just said last segment. I

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: like the under in Bengals Bills. You could convince me

22
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: of either one of those defenses. Bills will get sacks,

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: but I do think the Eagles should be the most expensive.

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: The Giants are dred the Bengals or twenty four hundred,

25
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: the Jaguars or twenty two hundred. Those are my choices.

26
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to go Bills Bengals or

27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: pay up for Eagles, that would be my vote. The

28
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: Bills are twenty dred, the Bengals are twenty four hundred. Okay,

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: do you want to split the difference and go Bills

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: can always come back and add to go to the Eagles,

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: or I do like a home team in this situation.

32
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: If we do have some extra money, we could go

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: to the Eagles because they will get sacks. There will

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: be blood, have ridiculous amount of sacks. Yeah, okay, you

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: want to go quarterback next? Yeah, we got there's some

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: good options eight to choose from. He got my homes

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: at eight thousand. I thought Alan would be more expensive

38
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: than Alan is seventy hundred. You've got Jalen Hurts at

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: seventy hundred. I'm intrigued. Joe Burrows Dak Prescott interested in

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: Alan or Burrow at that price. But the other two

41
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: and the other two I would be Prescott is sixty one,

42
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is six thousand, okay, Daniel Jones is fifty

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: eight hundred. He'll still run. I mean that guy produces

44
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: fantasy points whether they get beat or not. Brock Purty

45
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: is fifty four hundred. Jones hurts her my homes. What

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: do you want to spend I think my Holmes goes crazy,

47
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: but he's expensive. It's could be Jones hurts her mom.

48
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: Where Hurts Hurts is in the middle. There, let's put

49
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: let's put pick the one in the middle again. I

50
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: expect I mentioned in the first. Let's see if we

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: want to spend up at all giants numbers are running

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks not not good, not good, not good. Okay. So

53
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: at running back, you've got McCaffrey at eight thousand, You've

54
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: got Barkley at Sevred, you've got Mixing at six a

55
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: t and at Tony Pollard at him better than those

56
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: other options for what he costs. Jerick McKinnon at six thousand,

57
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: it's pretty cheap for McKinnon too. He's everywhere, He's there,

58
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: like red zone receiver Miles Sanders fifty seven hundred, pretty

59
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: cheap for him. He burned, He's burned us a couple

60
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: of times. Isaiah Paceecko is fifty five hundred if he

61
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: caught the ball board. Ezekiel Elliott is fifty four hundred,

62
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary at fifty two hundred, but usage has gone down.

63
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: James Cook at hundred, uh, Elijah Mitchell hundred, Brita is

64
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: forty hundred, JP Rhyan hundred, Boston Scott. I like Pollard

65
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: or cheaper. Yeah, and I would say Pollard is my

66
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: still my first vote of that group, Okay, and then

67
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: the names right after him. I didn't think we're bad.

68
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: So you go Pollard, McKinnon, you can go Pollard, Miles Sanders. Yeah,

69
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: either of those two is. Sanders is a little bit cheaper. Okay.

70
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: We haven't spent a ton yet, but I just want

71
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: to look at Sanders usage here in the passing game.

72
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: That couple of weeks have been weird for the Eagles though,

73
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: because they've been kind of straddling that. You know, Hurts

74
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: has been hurt and how who are we playing? Who

75
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: are we not? Lane Johnson has been out here since

76
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: Week fourteen, three targets, one target, one target, no targets,

77
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: one target. He hasn't He had to blow up game

78
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: in week fourteen against the Giants, by the way, where

79
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: he had thirty one and a half points and hasn't

80
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: scored more than seven points since Giants. Rundy's bad. It's bad. Yeah,

81
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: I have no problem with it. But you could also

82
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: convince me of Kennon his usage is better, especially in

83
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: the passing game. Let me see what McKinnon over these

84
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: last I mean the catches, nine targets, eight targets, three targets,

85
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: six targets, three targets because make carries the sanders, No,

86
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: he don't nowhere near it's high for carries and that

87
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: stretches ten carries. Now against he have those weird goal

88
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: line packages and he's very much a part of them.

89
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: The previous meeting against Jacksonville, one carry for two yards,

90
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: but eight targets, six catches for fifty six yards. We

91
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: had eleven point eight points. I bet he scored that.

92
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: He didn't score. That was that. That was that was

93
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: pre I'm gonna score touchdown on this. Yeah, he didn't

94
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: start that when yet If you feel different, put it

95
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: whoever in you one out of those two, I would

96
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: just take whoever's cheaper of those two. I think they're

97
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: very equal. They have pretty similar cases. Different skill sets obviously. UM,

98
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: I just want to take a look at Devin Singletary's

99
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: usage here. I think cooksman cutting into it. Ten carries,

100
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: seven carries, twelve carries, thirteen carries, eight carries. Not much

101
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: these high targets in this um. And then looking at

102
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: cook you're looking at twelve carries, nine carries, eleven carries,

103
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: for yards five carries, four carries. Uh, we can go

104
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: cheap on cook and come back with a price your flex.

105
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's the way to go.

106
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: That's the way to go. No. I like Cook a lot.

107
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: I think he's better than Singletary. So you want to

108
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: go cooking Pollard? Yeah, okay, that allows us. I think

109
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: that's a fair amount of receptions. Let's look at tight

110
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: end here, because we're we need to save some money somewhere,

111
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: and I'm going to kind of lean towards Kelsey too. Well,

112
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna blow your budget. Kittle is fifty seven hundred goddard.

113
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: That's way really bad against tight ends. They are twenty five. Yea,

114
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, I think he'll be fine. Yeah, Dalton Schultz

115
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: our buddy now Dawson Knox thirty eight hundred. These Bengals

116
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: are twenty against supposing tight ends. Hayden Hurst thirty two hundred.

117
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: I think you have to go. Knocks are better. The

118
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: Bills are. The Bills are really good against tight ends.

119
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Bellinger three thousand. Yeah, I think. Yeah, I'm kind

120
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: of leading. What's our budget where we can average? We

121
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: had six left, so it's an average of fifty seven hundred.

122
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: The rest of the way. Ingram is forty three hundred. Yeah,

123
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: Schultz is und Goddard is forty five hundred. Or the

124
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: Niners brutal against tight ends. The Niners are tenth best

125
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: at Yea, Schultz has really become a foundation of that offense. Yeah,

126
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: I've sold him short all year. Do you have a preference.

127
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: I can live without Kelsey, but I think Kelsey goes crazy. Oh,

128
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: I think he does too. But is he gonna be

129
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars better? Thirty five hundred dollars better than

130
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. Dalton Schultz is getting six or seven targets

131
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: and quick week. I bet they bet the averages seven

132
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: per week for the last six weeks or so eight

133
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: nine t four four ten six four five six. I

134
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: mean he's four more pretty consistent. That's he's a touchdown catcher. Two.

135
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: I mean that de looks his way in the in

136
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: the end zone. That bumps us up then the sixty

137
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: one hundred weekn average rus way. So I'm sure we

138
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 1: can find a cheap receiver in there to even bumped

139
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: that a little higher. I'm gonna be high on the

140
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: Eagles receivers. Okay, Chase is seventy hundred. I don't like

141
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: that because I don't know that they're going to get

142
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. Stefon dig seventy, d A. J.

143
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: Brown is seventy six hundred, Seedee Lamb See Davante Smith

144
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: seventy hundred. So they're both over budget. Uh Christian Kirk

145
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: six thousand. It's just under budget. I'm fine with that. Deebo,

146
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: Samuel uh Tee Higgins fifty eight hundred, Higgins and Samuel

147
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: and Ayouke and Juju is fifty one hundred. Brandon Aiyukas

148
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: five thousand, phenomenal player, um Isaiah Hodgens, Gabe Davis Yeah,

149
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: something ridiculous. Gabe Davis is forty eight hundred Zay Jones

150
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: Davids fan, but they have corner issues and he lights

151
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: it up in the playoffs and very cheap playoff Gabe

152
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: Davis is a real thing. That's remarkably cheapd He's behind Hodgens. Yeah,

153
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: al right, I don't get Za Jones. Yeah, slayton Is Darius.

154
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 1: Tony might be a real thing. Now, let's just look

155
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: at his usage here in the last month or so.

156
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: He's healthy and he's been around a while, and they

157
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: had a plan for him to trade for him. Yeah,

158
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: the targets aren't he's yeah, he's not two targets, four targets,

159
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: two targets. But he's also that last as game against

160
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders, got three carries, So he had two catches

161
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: for eighteen yards, three carries for twenty six yards and

162
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: a touchdown. That's ten points and twelve point four points

163
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: in the last two games. It's kind of a dart throw.

164
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: I'd feel better about Gabe Davis. I think he's more consistent.

165
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: You know the price range. I mean, Gabe Davis is

166
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: only seven dollars more he could have thirty is Tony

167
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: gonna get your thirty point. No, I mean, let's put

168
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: Davis in the other one that I don't hate down

169
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: here at the bottom. Liked it is Richie James is

170
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: thirty bucks. He's a real thing for them. I mean

171
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: he's a yeah looking at him, his his years, like

172
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: way under budget on these receivers. Uh like Debo were

173
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: standing out to me. Six targets, seven targets, eleven targets,

174
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: five targets, nine targets. Yeah. Yeah, people caught up a

175
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: little on Hodgens, but they did not picked up. He's

176
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: the he's the chain mover. Yeah. He has a little

177
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: bit of explosive that gets you under, that allows us

178
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: and to bump up the sixty eight hundred the rest

179
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: of the way. I think you get Debo in there too,

180
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: and we could do it. He's under Okay, so now

181
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: you're at that loss us to spend seventy our last

182
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: two spots in average of seventy three hundred, So we

183
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: could actually bump up to Kelsey if we wanted, or

184
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: MA Homes if we wanted, or Eagles D if we wanted,

185
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: or I wouldn't mind throwing digs in there. You could

186
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: get a Barkley, or maybe not Barkley because I don't

187
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: know McCaffrey. You could get McCaffrey. He could be is

188
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: our flex. Let's see what that does for us. Okay,

189
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: so consistent, ever, we still have sixty s dred to

190
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: spend on our last receiver with McCaffrey's our flex. Wow,

191
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: So who's what neighborhood is that that gets you Will

192
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: Kirkus six thousand, So we would then still have six

193
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: hundred dollars left over. We could bump up positions. Yeah,

194
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: one of those other guys. I feel like he's been

195
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: a favorite of our, like Kirkerdy, like Higgins better Higgins. Yeah,

196
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: I think he's better Higgins at d Yeah. So we

197
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: now we have eight hundred dollars left over to spend.

198
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: What's that do in the tight end or quarterback world?

199
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: In the tight end world, that gets you up to

200
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard, that's that's on. We're evan. It's pretty good.

201
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: So I think you leave Scholtz in a quarterback well

202
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: that gets you Patrick Mahomes if you want to. I

203
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: want something out of that Chief's passing game. But there's

204
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: only two names, and then we still have four hundred

205
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: dollars left over. I wouldn't mind bumping up to the

206
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: Eagles on D. Okay, could we do better than Cook

207
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: that gets us the Eagles on D. We still have

208
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: a hundred left over, then I have to bump to

209
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles if if Cook can get us something better. Okay,

210
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: let me see what. So we were at the Bills,

211
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: so we have four hundred left over. I don't know

212
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: that's gonna get us. Probably not. The more I think

213
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: about that would get us Devin's singletary, I might rather.

214
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Cook, and I think I take the

215
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: Eagles D though. Okay, so we'll flop out the Bills

216
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: d ends for the Eagles defense, and we have a

217
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: hundred dollars left over. We got my homes at quarterback,

218
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: James Cook, get running back, Tony Pollard at running back,

219
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Richie James, Deebo, Samuel t Higgins at hundred. We didn't Deebo,

220
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: Samuel and te Higgins at less than six thousand dollars.

221
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: Let's see what Devot did last week. I mean, he's back,

222
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: he's healthy, he's a star. He gets carries. If he

223
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: gets four touches in a game, that's right. He could

224
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: score on any one of them, right, I mean, he's

225
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: interchangeable with McCaffrey. Yeah, he's back Dalton Schultz at tight end,

226
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey in the flex spot with the Eagles defense.

227
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: I love it. Locking it in. Yeah, James is big.

228
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: James gets us my homes. James gets us my homes.

229
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: Throw six touchdowns, I mean, and he might run for two. Yeah,

230
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna put up points. Yeah, absolutely, So that's locked in.

231
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: Let's take a look here real quick. Do you want

232
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: to do a single game? Which game do you want

233
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: to do in a single game? Captain's Buffalo, since he's

234
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: the most fun. Um, but we could take the soonest

235
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: one because you can actually do this for all game sets.

236
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: You don't have to do it in a single Um,

237
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: let's do let's do you want to do the Saturday

238
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: night game? What is the Saturday Saturday Nights Giants Eagles.

239
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: That's not a good one. Let's do the Sunday night

240
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: game Dallas, Dallas, Sam Frank, let me find a contest here.

241
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna convince you to pick Purty.

242
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: Probably not well, I mean he might. He might be cheap,

243
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: you know. I don't know what the prices is yet.

244
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: So the captain's chair again, you get a point in

245
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: a half for the captain's chair. McCaffrey has six eight.

246
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: I think I went debos the captain's chair, assuming it's

247
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: a similar ratio to what Yeah, while it is, Prescott

248
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: is sixteen five, Ceedee Lamb fifteen six, brock Purty fourteen one,

249
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: Tony Pollar at twelve six, Team Deebo Samuel was twelve three,

250
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: So you can save a little bit there. How about

251
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: George Kittle at eleven four? You know, I think you'll

252
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: do well? Yeah, Brandon Ayuk at ten eight, Ezekiel Elliott

253
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: at nine hundred. I don't think you go under that.

254
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz again though, is eight four hundred to be

255
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: in the captain's chair. Then you can go get whoever

256
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: you want. I don't know if I can that cheap. Yeah, yeah,

257
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: I like debo. Okay, let's put Deebo in at twelve three.

258
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: We'll still be able to afford a lot of stuff.

259
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: Then I think you go dak Okay, have at least

260
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: one the quarterback, all right, I get no problem with that.

261
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: That leaves us in the average of sixty six seventy

262
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: five to spend the rest of the way. McCaffrey is

263
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: eleven two. Ceedee Lamb is ten four, brock purty hundred,

264
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard eight hundred, Kiddle seventy six hundred, Ayuk is

265
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: seventy two hundred. Those guys are all still over budget

266
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: for us. We need to find something cheaper. Uh. Zeke

267
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: is sixty two hundred, and you're looking at Dalton Schultz

268
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: at trying to think of some cheap options in that game.

269
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: You haven't mentioned Gallup. Gallup is five thousand, because we

270
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna have to go cheap somewhere. Um, you could go

271
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: kickers here. I was thinking gold, but Elijah Mitchell is

272
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: three thousand. I can't go mayor right, I mean, don't

273
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: put gold in just to get us a cheap mentioned

274
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: this guy last week, t Y Hilton factored in. Yeah,

275
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean he had That's not bad. He's your guy

276
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: that goes out and gets you two catches. But it's

277
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: for forty yards. And Mitchell's not bad either for a man.

278
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson is up this week to eight hundred bucks.

279
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: Only really sketch eight pass that bad? Um. I like

280
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: gold though, is a cheap. Okay, that's thirty eight hundred,

281
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: and that should raise our budget a little bit up

282
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: to seventy six hundred. But that's still not getting us

283
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: some of those high price guys. You almost have to

284
00:16:53,480 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: play two guys in that range. Mitchell Mitchell is three thousand,

285
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: u t Y Hilton, Dred. You're gonna go Hilton or

286
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: Mitchell Pard or somebody good? Okay? That gut leaves us

287
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: an average of ten thousand dollars to spend on the

288
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: final two spots. So who's tennis? And so then you're

289
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: looking you could afford, uh, well, Christian McCaffrey, you could

290
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: afford he's eleven two. You'd still have eight thousand left

291
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb is ten four. Who are the eight thousand

292
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: people you're looking at? Brock Party a hundred, Tony Pollard hundred,

293
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: George Kittle at seventy six hundred. Ayuk at about McCaffrey

294
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: and Kittle. McCaffrey is eleven two. That leaves us Dred.

295
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: We get both, we can get, we can afford both.

296
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: You put Kiddle in there Atred, you still have thirteen

297
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: hundred left over. Who would you bump up gold? Maybe

298
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: let's see what we can move up from with? Where

299
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: can we move up from Kiddle? Even Robbie God would

300
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: then give us fifty that would get us Michael Gallop

301
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: not bad or I don't love it. The defense is

302
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: instead of instead of gold, it was um if you

303
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: bump up from if you bump up from t Y Hilton,

304
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: now you can afford the Cowboys defense. Brett Mayr, Elijah Mitchell, mhm.

305
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: What if we bumped up from Kittle? Uh? If we

306
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: bump up from Kittle you're looking at that gets you

307
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard and you still have five hundred dollars left over. Yeah,

308
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,239
Speaker 1: in which case you could bump up from where does

309
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: that get us from gold? Or if you could bump

310
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: up from Hilton, that gets you Elijah Mitchell. He's gonna

311
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: touch a ball. I'll probably get ten Carrey and we

312
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: still have three hundred dollars left over these single games.

313
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: I don't mind eating some money. Robbie Gold will get

314
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: you the Cowboys defense. Look another gold. Okay, we got

315
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: three inner bucks left over, So that's Deebo Samuel in

316
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: the Captain's chair, Dak Prescott, eleven thousand, Robbie Gold, Elijah Mitchell,

317
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Tony Pollard Strong an easy game to assemble

318
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: team with locking it in? Locked In? Why not? Why

319
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: not use single game ones? Yeah yeah, I don't mind

320
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: doing those. Um So, just looking at this this playoffs.

321
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: I made note to you last week and we talked

322
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: a little bit about it last week. The tight ends,

323
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: it's been crazy. Wild Card weekend was bonkers. It was

324
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: a wild weekend for tight ends. Everybody complained all season

325
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: long about the tight ends and then they just went

326
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: off in the first week of the playoffs. And that

327
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: was with Goddard and Kelsey on the bench. I mean, we're,

328
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, two of the better ones in the league. Yeah,

329
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: so that could happen again. I mean Ingram Kittle, Kelsey Choltz.

330
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of really good tight ends.

331
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think that, you know, a a healthy

332
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: tight end, but be a good one. It's just such

333
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: a weapon in the playoffs, in particular, when you have

334
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: two good teams matching up against each other that I

335
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: wonder if we looked at the last five years of

336
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: playoff teams, obviously the Chiefs would be in their time

337
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: and time again, how many of them don't have a

338
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: good tight end. You know what I mean, like is

339
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: that a um should that position be stressed more in

340
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: team building, not fantasy and NFL. Then we think, well,

341
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: and what was that one we we did the you

342
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: know that mock draft earlier or what three and in

343
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: the first round. I mean a lot of them going

344
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: in early. But it's a it's such a matchup problem.

345
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: You know, if you're gonna you're gonna bring the safeties

346
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: down to help stop the run, or you're gonna try

347
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: to play a lot of nickel. See I was thinking

348
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: the opposite almost and almost from a Vikings perspective is

349
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: Vikings played the Giant so the blitz happiest team in

350
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: the league times a thousand, Like they blitz like forty

351
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: some I mean way way more than anybody else. But

352
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: they didn't against Minnesota because it was so worried about Jefferson. Yeah,

353
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a Jefferson centric game plan. Well,

354
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: that's why the Vikings traded for Hockinson because everyone's going

355
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: to try to do that. Tons of too high bracket

356
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: coverage to Jefferson and Hawke blew up. So I think

357
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: that's kind of the answer to taking away that, Like

358
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: what if the Dolphins had a legit tight end because

359
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: he's not really a tight end, you know, like everyone's

360
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: so afraid of their speed. Can you eat the middle

361
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: of the field with a quality Schultz type? Well the

362
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: key I think for a lot of these guys, and

363
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: you see a lot with Schultz in particular where Dawson

364
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: Knox and those just the guys that line up in

365
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: line are such if I put my if I take

366
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: my tight end and I lined them up out on

367
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: the on the the slot or if he's outside, I

368
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: pretty much know what kind of coverage I'm gonna get there.

369
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: If I put him in this in line is almost

370
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: a possible to double in line too, He's he's impossible

371
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 1: to double. And probably I don't know what the numbers are,

372
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: but I'll bet seven times at a tenant gets a linebacker. Yeah,

373
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's true. I mean, how many times in history?

374
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 1: How can the Steelers have one of their linebackers on

375
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: the tight end time time? Because they cover somebody. Yeah,

376
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: if you're putting him in line, you're gonna get a linebacker.

377
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be your linebackers line up outside the number.

378
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: Not ideally, I mean, if it's Kelsey detached. Doesn't matter

379
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: who's governing them, We're gonna get his. The Goddards and

380
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: Hawks and friar moose that are the tier below, they're

381
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: killed tight end, they're killed linebackers. Absolutely, Yeah, so interesting.

382
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: There's something to that though, Yeah, not to study more

383
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, it can't be a coincidence, because I

384
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: bet it keeps up this week. I'd be willing to

385
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: bet because there's some good ones coming. Yeah, there's some

386
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: some good ones there, and all the guys who blew

387
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: up for the most part moved on. Yeah, exactly, legit dude,

388
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, just a matchup problem they are.

389
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: I mean, some people call them the Queens and the

390
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: chessboard because you can just do so many things with them,

391
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: you know. I Mean I get it not as easy

392
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 1: to scheme up, but when you can, well, yeah, when

393
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,239
Speaker 1: you've got a good one. It's the Weig difference. Did

405
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: momentum into the draft here as Yeah, free agency that's

406
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: coming up, homework and there's a lot more d tackles

407
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: than I thought out there that I kind of like

408
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: to defensive tackles, linebackers, a lot of linebackers group. Yeah,

409
