1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and Goal.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back Williamson, and he says, to

3
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: drive on Steelers Nation Radio, and it's time for the

4
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Focus and Matt wants to do a DFS lineup.

5
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: It's just for the Saturday games. What I really wanted

6
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: to do. I was hoping to do those four games

7
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: that are all before Sunday. But I guess that's not offered.

8
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: So we could do a single Saturday, or we could

9
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: do all the games. We could do tonight's game only.

10
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: Now we got to talk a little about tonight's game

11
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: and then and and do a Saturday only whatever too.

12
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: But let's dig in, Okay, so if we So, it's

13
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: Indianapolis at Minnesota that's the one o'clock. Baltimore at Cleveland

14
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: is the four thirty him and in Miami Buffalo is

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: the eight fifteen game. And what's supposed to be a

16
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: blizzard again at night in Buffalo. So you gonna start

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: with defenses as we always do. Quarterbacks, you want to

18
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: start there. You want to start quarterback. I was thinking

19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: maybe quarterbacks with such a small slate, with such with

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: only six starters to go from, just who's expensive. Yeah,

21
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is eight three hundred. Uh, it's this same.

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: Do we have to pick a hero or whatever? And

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: this one too? Okay, okay, that's just one game. Ah,

24
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: this is classic mode to Uh is sixty hundred, yuck.

25
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson is sixty, Kirk Cousins is six thousand, Tyler

26
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: Huntley is fifty three hundred, Matt Ryan is fifty two hundred.

27
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: Those will be your starters this week. I kind of

28
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: like Huntley there. I'm hesitant to go this way. What

29
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: do you think about Watson because I don't think they'll run.

30
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think they were such a pass funnel.

31
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: I have to start Washington in our regular league this week.

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: It's either Watson or I'm starting the White two. Um,

33
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't I don't hate it. I mean, we saw

34
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: the Steelers receivers have success against those corners. I think

35
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: People's Jones is playing well. I think the joke who

36
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: is playing well, I think he's getting I mean, he

37
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: was noticeably better than week one who put him in there.

38
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: That's fine. It might be the cheapest he ever is.

39
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: All right, now we'll get Let's take a look at defense.

40
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: The Vikings are thirty three hundred. They I mean, playing

41
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: the Colts is great, but they're not a good defense.

42
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: The Browns are I mean, do we know about Boyd

43
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: and Higgins yet? I didn't think so well. They played

44
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: for Cincinnatis. It doesn't matter as the North. The Ravens

45
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: are three thousand, The Bills are twenty seven hundred, like that.

46
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are hundred. Okay, I mean Bills. I think

47
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: you start. The Bills are happy about it. The pass

48
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: rush and the weather I think is very favorable. And

49
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: two was struggling a little bit at running back or

50
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: do you want to go tight ends? Tight end or whatever?

51
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: Let's go tight end. So you got Mark Andrews. He

52
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: scares me. I mean the production has been down, down, down.

53
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: Don't have any linebackers are there? No? I know, I know,

54
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: I know. That's a very good point. Yeah. Uh, Hawkinson

55
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: is five thousand. I don't like that. And Uma in

56
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: Joku's fine, too awesome. He doesn't do much. Miami is

57
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: thirtieth against opposing tight ends. They're bad. Get SICKI is

58
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: thirty four hundred, Kyle Granson hundred, Harrison bryantred Gilani Woods

59
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: is Dred. Isaiah likely don't need to go any for

60
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: my vote is Hawk or Najoku. Um, Let's take Hawkinson

61
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: and Dume. Yeah, we gotta have some some good weather

62
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: is going here. He's consistent too. I mean he's five

63
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: or eighty like every week. Every week they have a

64
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: plan for him and they use them. Well. Yeah, that

65
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: leaves just sends six and average of six thousand to

66
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: spend the rest of the way here, we're doing pretty well.

67
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: Running Back Nick Chubb sevent truck. He's one over Taylor,

68
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. I prefer Taylor. Dalvin cook Is. I think

69
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: he's losing a step. Cults are twenty six against posing

70
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: running backs. You can see that singletary. Devin's singletaryd uh

71
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson Jr. Dred He is questionable. Raheem most at

72
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: fifty three hundred. JK. Dobbins two hundred against opposing running backs.

73
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: That's not bad. Yeah, he should be more expensive than that.

74
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he's healthy yet. Yeah, but I bet

75
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: he gets more than you know, snaps or whatever he has.

76
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards is five thousand, uh, Dion Jackson is five thousand.

77
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: Alexander mat Edison James Cook hundred, Kenyan Drake hundred, Zack

78
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: Moss we don't need the game. Kareem Hunt is now.

79
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: They don't use them. They don't use him at all. Yeah,

80
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: he wanted to be trade. I want to be traded.

81
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: They said, okay, we just won't use it. You want

82
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: to start with Dobbins. I think he goes Dobbins and Taylor, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

83
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: I mean what do you think Saturday wants to do?

84
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: Off the by run the football and he's gonna catch

85
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: the ball. He's yeah, Yeah, that still leaves I mean,

86
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: that's still that was right at budget. Basically, that leaves

87
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: us want the top guys gonna be able to get day.

88
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: I mean, there's only so much you can choose here.

89
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: Uh at wide receiver, Justin Jefferson, Colts are number one

90
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: against opposing wider Yeah, I don't love it, right, Tyreek

91
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 1: is nine thousands. Yeah, I don't trust that. Stephon Digs

92
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: one hundred. Even Howard has a very good history against him.

93
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: J Lem Waddle seven thousand. Maybe I don't love that.

94
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: Love the weather though, A Marii Cooper not bad. I

95
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: might rather have people's jones right now for the Cooper's

96
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: got a question more. It doesn't uh not now, No,

97
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: he's uh, Michael Pittman is fifty hundred. Their corners are

98
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: a disaster. Yeah, I think Pittman is very favorable here.

99
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: Theeling is People's Jones fifty one hundred, Gabe Davis five thousand,

100
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell hundred, Devon DuVernay ist h. I had to

101
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: go all the way down to thirty to get Alec Pierce.

102
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: It's not bad, yeah, I mean, I mean we could

103
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: get it. He had four eight six and a touchdown

104
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: that last game out. I would like to put Pittman

105
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: in and see where that takes us. Okay, and I'm

106
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: fine with Piers if we put in a dome is big.

107
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: Pittman and Pierson. We were heavy on the Colts are,

108
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: but that leads us with thirteen line left. Way, I

109
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: think that Viking is bad. Yeah, at least just a

110
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: thirteen nine left so we can actually an average of

111
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: sixty nine fifty for our last two spots, almost seven

112
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: thousand dollars per player. I'm gonna Davis fans, but I

113
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: think he could hit a big one. He could. How

114
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: about Wattle? About Wattle is seven thousand on the nose

115
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: Cooper sixty one hundred. I like People's Jones. People's Jones

116
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: is fifty one hundred. Can we get a big star

117
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: from there if we were do yeah, at least eight hundred.

118
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Then to spend on our on our last flex uh

119
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: like Diggs. Diggs is eight one hundred. He was even pricier.

120
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: That's the only one we could have. So Tyreek is

121
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: nine thousand Jefferson. If we want to get Jefferson in

122
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: the lineup, we just got to figure out Jefferson that

123
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: much better than Diggs indoors. Yes, yeah, I guess. I mean,

124
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying the Colts defensive number one against receivers.

125
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Their corners are good, but the indoor thing is nice.

126
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: But it's Jefferson. Who would we cut what we could?

127
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: We could go down with Hawkinson and then Joeku. Do

128
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: you think that gets that would definitely get it. Oh,

129
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. So I think that's a big

130
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: downgrade if we get If we do that, Hockinson and

131
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: Joe Coo saves US eight hundred, then we have ninety six.

132
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: We have nine hundred remaining. We can get Jefferson and

133
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: we saw five meaning left over there. Anybody can we

134
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: go up from Watson? Up from Watson would get us

135
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: to a bas Yeah, I'd rather have Watson as well. Uh,

136
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: we're not gonna go out from Taylor. What about up

137
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: from Dobbins? Man, it seems like this is too easy.

138
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: It's a short Yeah. Uh, we're go up from people's

139
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: jones too, and that doesn't get us anybody. These things

140
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: aren't It's not like a ton of them. You can

141
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: just go to them. Up from Pittman is Cooper m hm?

142
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean they would have why with ye and the joke, Well,

143
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: we would be pretty stacked with the Cleveland passing game,

144
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: tight end two receivers. I don't want to No, I

145
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: don't trust it that well. Although we got three members

146
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: of the Indian Aptor, so no where can we cut corners?

147
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: How about a defense? We're already at hundred the Bills,

148
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: and I think the Bills might be the best one. Yeah,

149
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: that's pretty locked in. Um, I think you looked. But

150
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: what if we upgrade from Dobbins? But I thought he

151
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: was the best deal of the group. Up from Dobbins

152
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: is Singletary with Jeff Wilson, Raheem Mostert, all those guys.

153
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: I'd rather have Dobbins. Although if I if I knew

154
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: Wilson was out and it was just gonna be mostered,

155
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: that would that would be different. I mean, you have

156
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: my blessing to make that change if we know. Uh,

157
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: let's see up from Alec Pierce, Leaves gets his Paris

158
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Campbell or Devin DuVernay, Isaiah Mackenzie. I think Pierce is

159
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: the same as those guys. I think one of them, Robinson.

160
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: I like Pierce with the big playbill, a dome that

161
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: in the dome things big in these weather games because

162
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: opposed to Cleveland and Buffalo. Uh, just looking here people

163
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: up from People's Jones to get us fifty six hundred,

164
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: that gets us stealing. I don't like deal. And I'm

165
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: just thinking who even talked about um? Up from in

166
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: Joeku doesn't That doesn't get us back to Hawkinson. No,

167
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: So I think please eat the cash. I think that's

168
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: what we have. Yeah, so it's Deshaun Watson. It's eat

169
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: more cash with these smaller slades, just because there's yeah,

170
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: there's j K. Dobbins, Jonathan Taylor, Donovan, People's Jones, Alec Pierce,

171
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, David and Joeku Justin Jefferson and the Bill's defense. Like,

172
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind starting that on my regular team, right, Like,

173
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: that's pretty it's a pretty good team's pretty good slate.

174
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: I bet there's gonna be a lot of chalk. I mean,

175
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of high ownership guys. As

176
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: all these only three teams to pick from, we need

177
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: Watson to play. Well, that's a little frightening. That's that's

178
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: the flying He's gonna at least throw for to thirty

179
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,479
Speaker 1: or two forty and run he runs for thirty or forty, right, Yeah,

180
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: looking at today's injury updates, you've got Darius Tony limited

181
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: again on Thursday. Nobody ever knows what he's gonna do. No,

182
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: Kendall Hinton did not practice Thursday. They signed to watch. Yeah,

183
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: they're telling you who they grabbed. But yeah, so that

184
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: passing game is gonna be all Jerry Judy and Greg Dulcinch.

185
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: That's enticing. But it might not be Wilson. But that

186
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: might not be that bad. You'd rather it's Wilson. Yeah, um,

187
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: Juwan Johnson limited Thursday, Mike White limited Thursday. I think

188
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: he said he's playing. He's gonna play Corey Davis, Zach

189
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: Wilson though. Yeah, Corey Davis with a concussion, did not

190
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday. That does that's he's not gonna play.

191
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore's interesting this week. Tyler Boyd remained limited Thursday.

192
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: That finger. Uh. Tee Higgins limited Thursday with a hamstring.

193
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: I bet he's a game time yeah. Uh. Trailing Burke

194
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: still not practicing, so he's not gonna play this week.

195
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Tanney Hill practiced in full. He's dealing with an

196
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: ankle issue. U Tyreek Hill is not on Miami's final

197
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: week fifteen injury report. Wow. I mean they need to

198
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: win this game and he got it through it, but

199
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: he just doesn't look good. No, he didn't know he

200
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: did when he picked the ball up and looked like

201
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: he was shot off a you know, and then then

202
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: the go route. I mean, he's still gonna score points,

203
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 1: but I'm not interested in d f at. Yeah, you're

204
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: gonna play him. Yeah. Thrown Armstead is questionable. Saw that

205
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: that's rough. Jeff Wilson's questionable as well. Pass Rush is legit.

206
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley is not on New York's week fifteen

207
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: injury report. They took him off the injury reports. Trevor

208
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Lawrence limited again. Chase Claypool did not practice Thursday. Man,

209
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: it's a good thing for the Steelers. That wasn't a

210
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: based on a you know, if he plays this much,

211
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: you get the second round pick. If he plays this much,

212
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: you get a third or or lower. Does he if

213
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: Ken catches as a bear's right? Yeah? Uh? Justin Fields

214
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: with the illness was back at practice on Thursday, So

215
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: that's good news. Ramond Ray Stevenson did not practice. I

216
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: think Pierre Strong might be kind of enticing. It's looking

217
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: like Damien Harris will be back this week, so they

218
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,599
Speaker 1: might mix in Strong though, But yeah, Harris is a

219
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: strong start. No, Kenny Moore for the Colts against the Vikings,

220
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: that's kind of will go inside, Fieland will go inside

221
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 1: more plays on and he stays outside and then when

222
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: they go dime nic and Yeah, so that's a big

223
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: deal because there is a drop off without a doubt. Uh,

224
00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson will not play this week. Yeah, suh Um.

225
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: David Bell questionable for Cleveland's week fift. Hes got a

226
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a bigger role than I thought he'd have. Um.

227
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: Richie James participated Thursday for the Giants. He's in concussion protocols.

228
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: That's at least moving in the right direction. Uh No,

229
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: he's he's in destructive. Yeah, he's got a force field.

230
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: He ate his wheaties. Yeah. Romeo Dobbs expected to be

231
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: back for Monday, the Monday night game against the Rams.

232
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: I wonder what his role is. I mean, Watson's the

233
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: guy in Bozard's the guy, you know, yeh. Russell Wilson

234
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: was back at practice on Thursday, but only in a

235
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: limited capacity for the Broncos. I don't think he yeah

236
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: makes it bad. That looked wordily rough. Yeah he could,

237
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: he could clear, I mean they could. He's a veteran guy.

238
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: But they're going nowhere to write, you know what. I

239
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: would not push that one. Ah. Antonio Gibson and Brian

240
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: Robinson both still limited on Thursday. Sunday night or too. Yeah,

241
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: you need to know because you definitely want the whoever

242
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: if one's out, you definitely definitely want the other. Yeah,

243
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: I think he's put him in which one? I mean

244
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: you need to say, you need some kind of clarity

245
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: on Friday. Somebody has to step forward and be healthy

246
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow and then you can play them. Uh Tyler Huntley,

247
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, he is cleared concussion protocol. He will start,

248
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: so that's good news for them, though, Yeah, I mean

249
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: if that that was Brown, I don't like the chance

250
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: to win. Dallas Goddard told reporters that things are trending

251
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: in the right direction for him to play in week

252
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: fifteen against the Bears. Next week, Right, that's this week?

253
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: Oh really? Yeah? Okay, I thought he was like, next

254
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: week's definitely a shoe in the plane. Next week he's

255
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna play this week, So that's worth It

256
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: was slick and hardly picking him up. But I don't

257
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: have any use for him at the moment. I wish

258
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have actually was slick. Uh Amari Cooper with

259
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: that hip injury practice Thursday, so he is back for them. Yeah.

260
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: Brock Purty is expected to start tonight again to Seahawks.

261
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: But you could see some Josh Johnson in there. Really

262
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: well if he gets I mean he's yeah, um you

263
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: like from the night. Yeah, well, McCaffrey, you're gonna McCaffrey's

264
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna get hard. I think gets a big bump. Do

265
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: you play? Walker? Is Walker and automatic start in that

266
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: game against I think if he's healthy, he's no max

267
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: start no matter who he plays against, and he's the

268
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: only back they have brutal matchup. Yeah, I just think

269
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: he's a good enough player that would you start him

270
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: over Aaron Jones. I was just like Kamara and Tomorrow

271
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones some of that Zeke Yes, Okay, I mean

272
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: I think he's a tear above those guys are the

273
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: best of that tier. He's really good. Uh. Tristan Worth's

274
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: practiced on Thursday. How about that? Wow, that's good news

275
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: that for them. They need him back in a bad way. Uh,

276
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks was back. I thought he was already ruled

277
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: out back in practicing on Thursday. He's gonna be a

278
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: Texan next year. Click clicked to Houston's Aaron Wilson reported

279
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: that Cooks isn't expected to play, but then he came

280
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: back in. I thought that coclusion. That's clicks clicks for

281
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: trying to get clicks on the internet. I thought Cookes

282
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: was gonna play a year. It's a weird situation. Yeah,

283
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: Nico Collins isn't likely to play this this also, according

284
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: there Aaron Wilson. So take that with for what it means.

285
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: You know, we remember more though, Chris Moore. They're playing

286
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. That's the thing is. So if Cooks plays,

287
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: I want to play more then, right, But he still

288
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: want to be too, He's still be still gonna be

289
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah. Um. Josh Jacobs limited yesterday with

290
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: he's got a quad and a hand. M hmm. If

291
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm him, I don't want to play, right. I've done.

292
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: I've got fourteen hundred rushing yards. I don't need to

293
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: do anything else. I need the show here. I don't

294
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: when I don't know. Okay, So he's leading the league

295
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: in rushing yards right now? Does he have some kind

296
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: of clause in his contract if you lead the league

297
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: in rushing you get another million dollars? Then then maybe

298
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: he comes back and plays. Possibly, But yeah, I would

299
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: be more worried about big picture. Yeah. Yeah. Marshaw and

300
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 1: Lattimore back at practice for the since a bunch, Yeah,

301
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: it's a bunch um. So that's pretty much it for

302
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: the New Country stuff. So some good news there, Yeah,

303
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: And it's not all doom and gloom. We got some

304
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: questionable quarterbacks playing this week, but no doubt running backs

305
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: across the border pretty healthy. You know, there's not a

306
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: lot of new injuries there. Let's take a look at

307
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: tonight's if we just wanted to do a DFS lineup

308
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: for tonight. I'm not saying we're gonna play one here,

309
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: but yeah, let's just take a look at it. UM

310
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: showdown captain mode in a one game set. That's how

311
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: you do that. Um, I'm just gonna bring up anything.

312
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: So if you wanted to put I'm guessing McCaffrey, and

313
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is the most expensive, you want to put him

314
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: in the captain's chair. It is seventeen one. Might be

315
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: worth it, though I don't understand this philosophy that you

316
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: get one point, you get one point five points for

317
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: whoever is in your captain's share. But like I think

318
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: Ayuk is the guy most likely to OutKick his coverage.

319
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: He's thirteen two, okay. Gino Smith is fifteen nine as

320
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: the captain. Tyler Lockett his fifteen three as the captain.

321
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: Could have a nice game, yeah, medcalf is fifteen thousand

322
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: is the captain, Party is fourteen four, party finishes a game.

323
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: Josh Johnson's thirteen five. You can't play him. Brandon Aukers

324
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: thirteen two, Kiddle is twelve thousand, Kenneth Walker eleven four

325
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: for the captain's share. That's not bad. He touches. Yeah.

326
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: If I were, if I were picking somebody to put

327
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: in the captain share, I'd probably you hate to go

328
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: Chalky on that because it limits you on everything else

329
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: because you only have fifty thousand to spend. So if

330
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: you spend seventeen one on McCaffrey, like I almost rather

331
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: do lock it yeah at fifteen three, locking in Ayuka

332
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: the most attractive. And then because if you get McCaffrey

333
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: into the game, then it's he's a he's eleven four. Yeah,

334
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: so you got lock it in McCaffrey. You're pretty covering

335
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: your bott on both sides a little bit. Absolutely, Um,

336
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: then you can out of my win. You can still

337
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: get Kenneth Walker at seventy undred. That leaves you fifteen

338
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 1: seven to spend. So then then you got to get

339
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: who's the ayuk is unred? What about their other running

340
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: back and Niners Mason Mason, That's what I'm looking for.

341
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: He is forty eight hundred, So you put him in, yeah,

342
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: he he might get twenty carries. That leaves you with

343
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: a ten nine left to play, you could get the defense. Absolutely, yeah,

344
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: I mean you don't have to play defense, right, but no,

345
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: but you're gonna get You're going to get points unless

346
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: they give up like forty, and then that leaves you

347
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: with to spend and it's like your Kiddle or no,

348
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: not quite. These guys have a third receiver that's attractive. No,

349
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: Kiddle's eight thousand that could get you. Robbie Gold, that

350
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 1: could get you Jason Myers. The Seahawks defense is. Don't

351
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: you have a theory that kickers are smart for these

352
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: they're not bad because because there's no negatives, right right,

353
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: If you think they're gonna get if they're gonna get

354
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: you ten points, it's ten points. Ten points is worth yeah,

355
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: five thousand of your money or whatever. Right, So if

356
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: you if let's say you go Robbie Gold, you have

357
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: one point nine left, so imna be shocked if you

358
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: don't get twenty points out of the Niners D and

359
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: Robbie Gold. You could pull Walker and go with Ayouk.

360
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: I think Walker's a steal. Yeah, McCaffrey at eleven four,

361
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: you're not gonna take him out. I think you just

362
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: where you go with McCaffrey in the captain's chair, and

363
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: then what's that cost you of maybe maybe put Ayouk

364
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: in the on the bench or somebody like that, or

365
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: on the regular lineup. McCaffrey in the captain's chair is

366
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: what I say, seventeen one. So if you do that

367
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: and then go with lock it, you still have thirteen

368
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: hundred left over left over. So now you could pull

369
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: what would that get you? Pulling the forty Niners defense

370
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: out will get you? Be nice to pull all those

371
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: kickers or defenses out. You know that's not gonna happen

372
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: with This is a bad game though, for third receivers

373
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: or I mean, I don't want know a fans or

374
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, that's what he gets, you know a fan

375
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: if you pull out the kickers. So it is what

376
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: it is. Um, you can get McCaffrey in McCaffrey, lock

377
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: up Walker, Mason, the forty Niners defense. No quarterbacks, but

378
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: you're going to get the guys who get the ball. Yeah,

379
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are good though to have. So yeah, I don't

380
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: know it's a huge quarter game for either one of them. Yeah,

381
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that it is either. Um, if you

382
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: did pull Walker, you could get ay, I don't know

383
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: he's any better. I think Walker is a sea. Yeah,

384
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: that may be the way to go. Maybe the way

385
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: to go. Yeah, we're gonna leave that. I don't want

386
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: to internet. Yeah, I just picked any contest. I don't

387
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: even know what contest that was, but definitely interesting. There's

388
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: definitely some strategy involved tonight. Yeah, for sure. I think

389
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: it's a good game. Yeah, I should be a very

390
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: both teams can clinch. Yeah, if the Seattle needs to

391
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: win to stay keep pace with the NFC East teams

392
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: and stay ahead of the Alliance. I just think Purty's

393
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: got an uphill climb second ever start. I never had

394
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: a short week in your life. You have this a

395
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: bad oblique injury that you were questionable up until an

396
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: hour ago. In Seattle, it's like one of the hardest

397
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: place to play in the world. I think that's a problem.

398
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: So what you're saying is it's a pretty big test,

399
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,320
