Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I'm Dale Ally here with

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: Matt Liason and it's time for the Fantasy Football Focus.

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: It is Friday, which means we'll do our DFS lineup

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: on Draft Kings, Rusty think about this from a different

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: perspective area, and then we'll make our pick for the

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: game when we're done with this. Uh, looking here, we

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: are in the NFL five dollar double up. We don't

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: play for big money. We just do this for fun.

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: If you guys a hint here, We just like to

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: if we can, like to come out at least even

12
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: money here. But we'll we're good enough at this. We're

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: gonna win money. This one has never seemed to see

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: any of that. By the way, what's my money? So

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: why should you get expertise? Yeah, wellold we get there's

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: six eighty nine entries in this one, so we should

17
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: be to finish in the top three hundred. I would

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 1: think you always think, I mean, we always think that,

19
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: and I think they should. That's a standard. The standard

20
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: is a standard. Typically when we do this, we either

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: start with the tight end or the defense to pick

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: that you don't do that. Let's let's take a look

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: at the peoples. The forty nine is the highest defense. Okay,

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: the lowest defense, just to give you an idea. The

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: lowest defenses the Lions at two thousand. It's not terrible.

26
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: So in between that you get the Ravens at four

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: thousand against Flacco. The Colts are hundred. I don't know, Leonard, no,

28
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't like that. I don't like the Browns at

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: Caroline a hundred yeah for being one of the price one.

30
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: Saints Atlanta are thirty seven hundred. Maybe Bengals versus the

31
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: Steelers or thirty six hundred. No Broncos at Seattle, or

32
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't like that. The Titans at home against the

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: Giants are I don't like that. The Panthers against Cleveland,

34
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of a nice value there. Bad quarterback. Buccaneers

35
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys are thirty three hundred. I could be

36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: talked into either one of those. You've mentioned Ringbay yet charges, Well,

37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: they're playing Minnesota, I know, I know. Charges against Las

38
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Vegas are thirty three hundred. Packers are thirty two hundred

39
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: against Minnesota. The Eagles against the Lions are one d.

40
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: The Chiefs against Arizona are three thousand. The Cardinals on

41
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: the other side of that are hundred, the Falcons or hundred.

42
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: The Patriots are twenty seven hundred, Dolphins are twenty six hundred.

43
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: As bad as that offense, Look, that's this what are

44
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: we missing there there? Favored? Yeah, the Patriots are priceyer

45
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: than the Dolts. Everybody gives the Patriots too much. How

46
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: about this one Jacksonville at Washington? Is I like Miami

47
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: or Jacksonville? Yeah, the Commanders are the Steelers defense. That's

48
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: too cheap too, But yeah, Miami is sticking out at

49
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: me there. But I think the Jags are You could

50
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: even get the Bears at I don't think they win

51
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: that game, but it's it's pretty cheap. Yeah, there isn't terrible. No,

52
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: they'll get They'll get a couple of sacks and I

53
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: think maybe a turnover. I kind of like that that

54
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense, and I think I think their defensive front

55
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: is going to give is really good. Let's take them.

56
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: That really allows us to pay Yeah, yeah, it's definitely

57
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: go cheaper on defense. There was four or five of

58
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: the options and you're what are you gaining? And defensively,

59
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: most weeks you're getting a pointer two. It's not really

60
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: worth playing dollars more for I get the best defense.

61
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Good for you. I'm sure there's algorithms to figure that out.

62
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, tight end. Mark Andrews is six hundred,

63
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey is sixty six hundred. Kittle is but he's questioning.

64
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is fifty seven hundred. Darren Waller is fifty

65
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: four hundred. There's stuff going on with him too, Yeah,

66
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz is five thousand. Uh. T J. Hawkinson is.

67
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: The Eagles were dead last last year against opposing tight ends,

68
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 1: but they added stuff. Yeah, he had ten catches against

69
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: them last year. So I was sitting there, Hold now,

70
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: wait and hear what what Goddard's price would be against Detroit.

71
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: Kaiseki is forty eight hundred, Goddard is forty five hundred,

72
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: zach Ertz is forty four Hundred's questionable? Had Friarmouth so far?

73
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: Noah fant forty one, Cameron Brad four thousand, No, uh,

74
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: Giovanni Ricci, who's that? I get the right name on

75
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, Giovanni Richie, he's the Panther's tight end. Okay,

76
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: I guess he's playing ahead of Tremble. I guess you

77
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: can get him for four thousand dollars. I don't think

78
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: I'm paying for Rob Tanyan David and Joe my guy. Dude.

79
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: I know that's your guy, but I don't love it.

80
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett hundred, Henry Austin Hooper thirty seven hundred, cold

81
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: commit thirty seven hundred are targets. Alberto ist sid that's

82
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: not bad either. Evan Ingram you can get for thirty

83
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: five hundred. I think, just so I throw it out there,

84
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: Goddard Everett's commits the joku, which I won't commnce you have,

85
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: but the names is stuck out to me and Albert

86
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: I like firm with two Bengals or twenty seventh last

87
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: year against opposing tight ends. See what that Fells role is.

88
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: But you know he's still Rookie's still a rookie, and

89
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: I think, just like one of my guarantees on the

90
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: pregame show is that Friarmouth has at least a twenty

91
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: yard catch in this game. Okay, I don't know how

92
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: bold you get. I would be a little more cautious

93
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: to say he has either a twenty yard catch or

94
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Oh, you gotta be but you gotta be bold.

95
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: It's bold. Have some stunds. Well, let's do it. I mean,

96
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: I'll back, I'll back your play on that. Let's go

97
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: for muth. He's gonna be Greece not you know, I

98
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: think he's going to be very useful. Let's put it

99
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: that way. You say he's so we have I mean

100
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: we have an average eight to spend the rest of

101
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: the way here at quarterback. Um, you wanna do that?

102
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: You wanna look at stud wide receiver, doesn't matter. Let's

103
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: let's take a look for what we start again? Quarterback

104
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: or two running backs, three wide receivers, a tight end

105
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: of flex in the defense. More we saw forty three

124
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,480

125
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Geno Smith, who's actually a starter, is fifty one hundred.

126
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: Zack Zach Wilson, who's not going to play the this

127
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: week pads on Daniel Daniel Jones, who is a starter

128
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: is five thousands. Some of those cheapies to me, like

129
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones or Mariotta, And I know there's a name

130
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: we haven't brought up yet. Yeah, well we're getting there.

131
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater who's a backup, is five thousand. Tyler Huntley,

132
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: who's a backup, is five thousand. Mitchell Trabiskie, who will

133
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: start this game against Cincinnati Bengals, is five thousand. So

134
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: he's like some of those guys don't even a quarterback

135
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: and he's going to start this game right right, Like

136
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: you could buy down on one of you can get

137
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones or Mitchell Trabisky, That's what I think we do,

138
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: or Mariotta was kind of attracted Mariota there. I don't

139
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: like Mariota against New Orleans defense. I mean he's got

140
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: the he easily has the toughest. Yeah, of those guys,

141
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: any of those is fine by me. I mean I

142
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: assume we could get Actually, you can get Joe Flacco,

143
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: so he's cheaper, but he's not going to on at all. Yeah,

144
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean I like Trabisky or Jones because they both run,

145
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: they both run a lot, they're both gonna run for

146
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: forty yards and then they gains any interception that you

147
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: and then whatever. Yeah, pick one. Uh, we should be

148
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: able to get anything we wanted if we do that.

149
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: Which one? Which one? Well? Which one do you feel

150
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: better about? They're both on the road, right, Yeah, they're

151
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: both on the road. Jones is at Tennessee. Tennessee is

152
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: a better defense? You wanta go trabisky? Then all right,

153
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: we got a raisky fire moves stack. Then I don't

154
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: mind that. Actually no, I don't think that's a terrible thing.

155
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: We can actually load up. Now watch that leads us.

156
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: That leads us an average of sixty almost sixty player

157
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. I mean we could get

158
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: some starts. Uh. Running Back Jonathan Taylor is the highest

159
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: guy against the Texans. That's that's pretty that's pretty high. Then,

160
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: excises Derrick Henry at eighty six hundred. Christian McCaffrey is

161
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: eight five hundred. I kind of like that a lot.

162
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: He know he's gonna catch a ton of passes. Uh.

163
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: Ekeler is eight two hundred, Dalvin Cook is seventy hundred.

164
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: But that's against the Green Baby Tamara against Atlanta, Joe

165
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: Mixon is seventy one against the Steelers and their revamp defense.

166
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they will either. But James Conner at

167
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: seven thousand, we know he's healthy right now, He'll get touches.

168
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: He'll be on the field all the time. We get na.

169
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift is sixty hundred, Aaron Jones is sixty seven hundreds,

170
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: not bad. Leonard four Nett is sixty six hundred. We

171
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: could probably afford two of these guys. Yeah, that's yeah.

172
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb if we if we play this right, we

173
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: get to have one of these guys in our flex too. Uh.

174
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is sixty five. Naj is sixty d really low.

175
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: He doesn't even have the average. He does not look

176
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: like the guys after him. There's one more here that

177
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: really looks interesting. Josh Jacob Uh Javante wow. Uh. Alexander

178
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: Madison is stre He is a hundred dollars less than Javante.

179
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: That's weird and just a little under nausea. Yeah, Ezekiel

180
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: Elliott is sixte Kwon Barkley is you could come out

181
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: with a stack of this with Javante nause and see

182
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley. I think we just do it and then

183
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: you could, you'd still be under the budget and really

184
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: pay up at wide receiver as well. You're going to

185
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: touch the ball times. Yeah, boom boom. And they're both

186
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: have a little bit of talent, and Barkley is our flex.

187
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: I don't love having three Steelers, but it's a it's

188
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: a great bargain though, I mean, I just don't know

189
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: how Steelers score like five points. Apparently bark to me cheap,

190
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, Okay, there is sixty one that leaves us

191
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: an average of sixty five hundred to spend three wide receivers.

192
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: We even went under budget on a couple of those guys. Yeah,

193
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: I think they could be running back ones this week.

194
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: Davante Adams. We get three running back ones in the lineup,

195
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: Davante Adams. That's a lot. But no j Jackson justin

196
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: Jefferson hundred. He'sari Alexander. Yeah, he's really good. The third

197
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: highest receiver on here is Deepo Samue went nothing to

198
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: do with that, though, I don't care. I'd rather do yeah, right, Uh,

199
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase hundred, Keenan Allen seven thousand, Mike Evans Tyreek

200
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: Hill st hundred, Ceedee Lamb. Mike was interesting Mike Williams

201
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: six hundred for Allen or Williams for the Chargers. Um,

202
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: a little more expensive, but yeah, you're gonna save four

203
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: hundred dollars if you go with Williams. I don't know

204
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: if we have to save money though anymore. Well, let

205
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: me let me just take a quick look here and

206
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: what what he did last year against the Raiders. Well,

207
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: in the final game last year, he had nine for one,

208
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: nineteen of the touchdown. He had seventeen targets in that game. Yeah,

209
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: the first time around against the Chargers of Vegas, he

210
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: had well, one catch for eleven yards. We only have

211
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 1: four targets. They won that one pretty easily eleven So, UM,

212
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: I expect this would be more of a high scoring game.

213
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm interested in him. I'm interested in Lamb Godwin is sixty.

214
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin all A J. Brown show off the new

215
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: toy the Beat reporters and Philly said everything goes to

216
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: Brown's first Jalm Waddle sixty hundred, Brandon Cooks six hundred,

217
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna catch a thousand balls. DK Metcalf sixty two hundred,

218
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: Marquise Brown A mon raw St Brown sixty one. I

219
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: don't love Marquis Brown, but no, maybe no Urgs, maybe

220
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: no Rondo, and definitely no Popkins. Yeah, and I only

221
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: achieves these very good Tee Higgins is sixty one hundred,

222
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 1: d J. Moore six thousand, Deante Johnson six thousand. That

223
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: neighborhood is pretty cheap to Courtland Sutton, Uh, Marie Cooper

224
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: our boy money. Renfro is hundred. Wow, I mean he's

225
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: been a field all the time. Michael Thomas is a

226
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: fifty seven hundred, Darnell Mooney hundred, Tyler Lockett is fifty hundred.

227
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: Robert Woodstred Michael Pittman for true number one like you

228
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: could get You could get him and then really pay

229
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: up for a couple of those other receivers. I think

230
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: Pittman is way too cheap. I think he is too

231
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: I thought McLaurin was too cheap. Let's see what happens

232
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: if we put in Pittman. We have two more that

233
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: gives us. That means we could spend seven thousand on

234
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: the other each on the other two receivers, which means

235
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: we could pay up for Keenan Allen if you wanted,

236
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: Or you could go get Jefferson or Davante at or

237
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: any of those guys that you really like love the

238
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: top of the receivers though Ceedee Lamb at six. I

239
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: did like Lamb. I mean, I think targets are coming

240
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: no matter what. Yeah, that would leave us in seventy

241
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: four hundred, which would get us Deebo Sam and what you,

242
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: I think you're overpaying for him. If we do go

243
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: a j Brown in that spot like Brown, then we

244
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: have a thousand dollars left over. You want to bump

245
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: up a tight end, or we could maybe we could

246
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: look at one of those two. Yeah, so we're not

247
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: fully stacked. Maybe get like Ekelaer instead of Nagy. Let's

248
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: take a look. Uh actually the thing we looked at

249
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: that because I actually put in Josh Jacobs instead of Nagy.

250
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's so we actually have nine hundred to spend,

251
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: so we have seventy three. That would get us Joe

252
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: Mix and James Conner Swift. I think we want I'm

253
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: not doing jumping Jack. Let's take a look at the Friarmouth.

254
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: Let me lose our stack, alright, that gets us That

255
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: would get us Dalton Schultz Hawkinson get sick. He Goddard

256
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: Hurt's Friarmouth. Where does Trobinsky plus nine hundred get us?

257
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: Probably not, probably not, probably not a great let me see,

258
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: let me see here. Yeah, he's so cheap that that

259
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: would get us Derek Carr, Ryan Tanney Hill. I'd rather

260
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: have Car than Robinsky. Yeah, you can get Trevor Lawrence.

261
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: I'd be fine with. I think that's a move. I

262
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: don't hate that Lawrence or Car. I think is worth

263
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: that extra Lawrence. Lawrence will still run a little bit.

264
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: He'll run more than Car. And oh, by the way,

265
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders were thirty second last year against the

266
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: posing quarterbacks. Then let's do that. Let that that leaves

267
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: just salary left over. Prediction. This is the cheapest Lawrence

268
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: will be all year. Yeah, I think so. I think so.

269
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: I don't think people will tune in pretty quick that

270
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: he's really good. Um, you want to lock that in

271
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: read him off to me real quick, please. We got

272
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence a quarterback for fifty six hundred, Nause Harris

273
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: at running back for sixty, Javonte Williams running back, Michael

274
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: Pittman at wide receiver for hundred, Ceedee Lamb at sixty,

275
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: ud A j. Brown at that's strong, Pat Friar muth

276
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: at fort und Sam Barkley in our flex spot at

277
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: sixty one hundred, and the Jaguars defense working against Carson

278
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: Wentz Jags. We're big on the Jags and the Jags

279
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: pretty big on the Steelers. I'd say lock it in,

280
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: all right. I don't see any that should I would

281
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: hope that that would get us into the top. Oh,

282
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: you would hope those three receivers alone in the in

283
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: the three running three. Our six receivers and running backs

284
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: are strong. Wrong, but there's some bargains at the Yeah,

285
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. All right, we're we're entered into

286
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: that one. Um. So that's that's our lineup. We're good, Matt.

287
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: It is prediction time. Yeah, you want to go first?

288
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: Actually after as soon as we do this, we gotta

289
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: make our picks on the divisions and conferences and stuff too.

290
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: We gotta roll through this. I got Bengal, um. I

291
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: think they're playing them in a good time. I think

292
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: there'll be some problems with the bengalow line. I just

293
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: think they're the more talented, better team at home. I

294
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: expect a very good football game. I'm going with the

295
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: upset here. I think it has a very Bill Steelers

296
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: like feel to it from last year and after what

297
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: convinced me was watching that game last night. Um, the

298
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: Rams just couldn't operate up front, and they were a

299
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: much more talented offense than what they showed last night.

300
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: But but the Bill's defensive line just just dominated because

301
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: those guys hadn't played together in the preseason. To me,

302
00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: that's that's a major major mistake for the for the Angles. Yeah,

303
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: you can't bring in four new guys and expect them

304
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: to just say, hey, it's gonna function perfectly there. So

305
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: I think that I think the Bengals get off to

306
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: their slow start. Maybe it's just the first half, but

307
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers build a little bit of a

308
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: lead here they have to hold off the Bengals at

309
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: the end. I think they went. Um, I think it's

310
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a good football game. I mean, we both

311
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: think the Steelers cover in this situation, but it seems

312
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: like a lot of points. Yeah, six and a half.

313
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I really understand that they beat them both

314
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: times last year, but last year the Bengals were the

315
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: hunter and they were also healthy like they were this year.

316
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 1: That now it's a different it's a different thing. It's

317
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: a different feeling. You know, they're expected to be good,

318
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: they're expected to win. There were no expectations of the

319
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: Bengals last year, and they were not for most of

320
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: This is the misconception. It's out there like most of

321
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: the season, they weren't a great team. Know, they finished

322
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: a half a game better than the Steelers last year.

323
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: They were like like seven and six at one point,

324
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: five and four one. Yeah, I mean they were. To

325
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: be honest, when they were five and four, people are like, oh,

326
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: this Bengals team doesn't stay. Was not the same. I

327
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: mean they picked third in the draft. Yeah. So I

328
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: think the Steelers come out and win this one. I

329
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: think I think that, I think the coaching staff. I

330
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: think what the Steelers will throw at them defensively up front,

331
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a problem, is going to

332
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: be an issue, and I think they're going to cause

333
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: a couple of turnovers early get a lead. I think

334
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: a long time we're going to see the Steelers come

335
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: out off I mean offensively. If you're if you're looking

336
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: at how you know how the Steelers gonna operate offensively?

337
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: We don't know the whole offseason, all you heard was, well,

338
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: Steelers gonna come out and run the ball, run the ball,

339
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: run the ball. I don't think that's gonna be the case.

340
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: Not that's true. So that's my prediction there. Um, how

341
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: about your a f C playoff teams? Division winners are Bills,

342
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: which feels better after last night? Ravens barely, Colts, Chiefs.

343
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: Three wild cards are in some particular order, Chargers, Bengals, Broncos.

344
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: Actually in that order. Okay, I've got the I agree

345
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,959
Speaker 1: with you, and most of those. I've got Bills, I've

346
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: got the Colts, I've got the Ravens. I'm going with

347
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers. In the West. That was a one for

348
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: the wild cards I got in order, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh.

349
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: I think you win a game like this one on Sunday,

350
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: I think goes a long way towards, you know, helping

351
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: that along. And I think Mike Tomins will find a

352
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: way to to win a couple of those that will

353
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: help their a f C overall state, you know, playoff.

354
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to like a two or

355
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: three way tie for that final spot. And there's a

356
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: lot of teams you can make a forward, including a Miami.

357
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: It's a Miami, it's a Raiders, it's Denver that you

358
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: just mentioned. And I'm not a Browns or Patriots believer,

359
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: but others are. Ye, So you know, I think that's it.

360
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: How about the NFC division winners, Philly, Green Bay, New

361
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: Orleans Rams. That was my pick before the game, so

362
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with it. Yeah, I think that's cheating if

363
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: you don't um T Bay as the five seed Niners

364
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: is a six, Vikings is a seven. I have the

365
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: exact same, exactly the same. Yeah, And I'm not just

366
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: saying because the last night. I've been thinking it for

367
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: a while. T Bay Rams, Packers might not be great anymore.

368
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: Like they're there. They're a step behind some of the

369
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: top teams in the f C. Absolutely, So I'm not

370
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: predicting it. But I threw it out there the other day.

371
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: Old quarterbacks. They have old quarterbacks and you know, expensive quarterbacks.

372
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: And I could see an Eagles or a Saints baking

373
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. You know, I'm not better. Let's hear

374
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: your picks, because I got my I know what my

375
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: pick is. I went for Bills over Packers. I think

376
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: Rogers figures out the passing game. By Thanksgiving, I've got

377
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: Chargers over the Eagles. Nice Eagles. I even said, you

378
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: can go look at my podcast from two days ago.

379
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: Eagles were gonna be my pick, and I changed at

380
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: the last minute just because I didn't. I think Rogers

381
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: has a pretty good path to be the number one

382
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: seed too. Yeah, I don't want to go to Green Bay,

383
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: and I just I think it's gonna take them some

384
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: time to figure things out offensively, but I think that

385
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: the defense will be fine in the meantime, and I

386
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: think Rogers will figure it out. I don't love the

387
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: might lose his mind before he does might. And the

388
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: one thing I did say about the Eagles, and this

389
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: is what worries me about the Eagles and Saints is

390
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: can Hurts or Winston, but especially Hurts. Can he out

391
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: dull Stafford Rogers then Brady to get there, you know

392
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: what I mean. I think their defense is better than

393
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: it was a year ago. You know, adding Chauncey Gardner

394
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: Johnson they're playing in free safety. Yeah, yeah, right, Um.

395
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: I think that that, you know, makes him a much

396
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: better defense. And the addition of you know, the big

397
00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: Fellawn Reddick and the Kobe Dean and Brad Berry. Yeah,

398
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: they've they've done some good things. Yeah, did you miss
