1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive, home of the Black and Goal

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back to the Drive. I am

3
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Dale Lawy. He is Matt Winns. Time for the Fantasy

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: Football Focus. On Friday's we do our DFS lineup. We

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: did a bonus line up last week Bill Captains share

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: there and Uh, with just a Thursday night game we

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: won again. Higgins is the Higgins is the Captain was

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: huge for us, and he put up a bunch of

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: points and we got one and a half times that

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: those points didn't cost us a tony ton of money.

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: And even though we had two in the lineup didn't

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: kill us because every we had Burrow, we had hill

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: Um and I assumed they would kill us. I'm like,

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: oh that's the end of that. Yeah, But having him

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: in the captains here, so many people didn't have I

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: think I looked at one point, it's like eleven percent

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: had Higgins is the Captain, and we were one of

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: those eleven percent that put us in the money. But

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: you've acted me last night to a very high percentage

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: had to us. So yeah, they all yeah, of the

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: lineup said to uh, that kind of canceled everything out.

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: We finished easily in the top fifty though, right, Yeah,

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: that was the key of separated. So once again, well,

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: we've won on our we we've won on our Friday

25
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: lineups every month, every time this year, let's do it again, Okay,

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: So as we always do, We'll start with our defense

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: and special teams here, see if we can find a bargain.

28
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: The Packers are the highest priced defenses. We get people

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: catching ont of them. Let's start at the bottom. Let's

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: do it from there. The Patriots on the other end

31
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: of that game are hundred. That's not awful. I don't

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: know that. Have them last? Yeah, the Jaguars are, but

33
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: they're just playing a tough team. The Texans are at

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are the Titans are hundred? I think we

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: just said Matt Ryan's turned the ball over six times

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: and which could be fumbles. Yeah, I don't see the

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: Colts put in block points. Uh. The Ravens defense against

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: the Bills. The Jets against the Steelers is hundred. I

39
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: don't like that either. The Commanders against Dallas is I

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: can't put my money on that. On Washington, the Broncos

41
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, the Bears against the Giants. Sure, I

42
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: mean the Giants should probably be the the exact same. Yeah.

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers defense against Kansas City is The Cardinals against

44
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: the Panthers is hundred. It's not bad. It's a really

45
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: bad defense. The Lions against Seattle is unred. The Falcons

46
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: against the Browns hundred. The Raiders against the Broncos is dred.

47
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: They don't score. They don't score. The Panthers against Arizona

48
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: is a little surprised. It's not expensive, but I like

49
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: that defense in general. The Chiefs are against paper than

50
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: the chief Yeah. In a pick the game. Yeah, the

51
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: forty Niners against the Rams is three thousand. I think

52
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: they'll be sacks. The Rams are thirty first and allowing

53
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: defensive points. Wow, I could see that a lot. Yeah,

54
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: I could see that. The Rams on the other side

55
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: of that are three thousand, twenty ninth against like they

56
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: don't score. The Colts are three thousand against the Titans.

57
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: The Giants are against Chicago, And I think I picked

58
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: the Bears if I was picking between the two, just

59
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: because they're cheaper. You get the Bills at thirty two hundred,

60
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: the Browns thirty four hundred, the Cowboys at the Steelers

61
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: at thirty six hundred. Cowboys could have a million sacks.

62
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: They could have a bunch. Yeah. I mean I don't

63
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: dislike the Steelers chances of getting sacks either. You get

64
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: the Chargers at thirty seven hundred, the Eagles at thirty

65
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: eight hundred, and then the Packers at forty. If we

66
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: want to spend money, I kind of like Dallas. Yeah. Um.

67
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: The two that stood out to me or the teams

68
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: playing each other is Titans Colts. I think the Titans

69
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: against that Colts offense. Yeah, I mean, if they were

70
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: both equal, I would pick the Colts, but they're not,

71
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: so I think I would take the tight I think

72
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna get some sacks. And again, Matt Ryan, if

73
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: he gets hit, turns the ball over all the time, right,

74
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 1: And that's not a terrible dollars. Allows us to spend

75
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: else all right, locking it in, moving on to tight

76
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: end in those singular positions. Taking care of Kelsey is

77
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: seventy seven hundred this week. I don't love it against

78
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: the Bucks though. If they're gonna blitz him, Um, he's

79
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: gonna go to Kelsey and just time. I mean, he's

80
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. It's just that's a really good d

81
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews sevent think the Bills are number one against

82
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: tight ends their fourth one here. Yeah, Darren Waller is

83
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: fifty sid is he questionable? H No, no designation and

84
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: denver against opposing tight ends for him, Jordan's noticeably less

85
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: than the top two. Uh not less of Mark Andrews. Yeah. Yeah,

86
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: they didn't go to him a lot last week. Uh.

87
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: Kittle is fifty, Kyle Pitts is five thousand. They have

88
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. And Brownie d Yeah they Dodner.

89
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: The second level guys are hurt. This is my favorite

90
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: one yet so far. Zach Ertz he's fine. You know,

91
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: he's boring, but he's does the same thing almost every week.

92
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: Goddard is Tyler Higbee is the Rams are number one.

93
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The Niners are number one. That makes sense

94
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: because their linebackers are active. Yeah, they can all run

95
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: and yeah, that makes sense. Friarmouth is kind of like that. Yeah.

96
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot but this week about linebackers and

97
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: safeties being somewhat of a liability for the Jets. Yeah,

98
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: it's not bad. You can get Hawkinson at forty without

99
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: st Brown. That's a little more not bad. Yeah, there

100
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: and they're actually twenty three against opposing tight ends, and

101
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,799
Speaker 1: they're two biggest targeted guys. Probably are are not gonna

102
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: play Gerald ever just four thousand against Houston. Yeah, comes back.

103
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz is questionable, thirty nine hundred, Dawson Knox is questionable,

104
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: thirty eight hundred. Cam Brad against Kansas City is thirty

105
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: seven hundred. Kansas City twenty four against We're getting pretty

106
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: foard on the list. Yeah, in Joku who is questionable

107
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: against Atlanta. Uh, their thirty first against opposing tight ends.

108
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: He's thirty seven hundred. He gets a lot of targets. Yeah,

109
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: I wish I knew he was playing, because I think

110
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: that's a good deal. Tyler Conklin is thirty six hundred,

111
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: gets a lot of action. Uh. Robert Tonyan is thirty forty.

112
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: Or the Patriots are thirty or twenty ninth against the

113
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: posing tight ends. So you got like six or seven

114
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: targets last week, including a couple of red zone It's

115
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: not it's not awful. Uh. Evan Ingram against the Eagles

116
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: is thirty four hundred. Logan Thomas against the Cowboys is

117
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: thirty three hundred. Albert O thirty three hundred will dis

118
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: league called Commandoh after that, it gets kind of my

119
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: three favorites, and and certainly is there's if you like

120
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: one of these, great if there's others that you mentioned Tonyon,

121
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: um Pits, if we want to spend money, Muth wasn't

122
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: super cheap, and Hawkinson. I have a lot of Hawkins

123
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: and stock and it's down right now. Yeah, Hawkins is

124
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: the cheapest of those, best best for the price of

125
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: those or is there somebody else that jumps out of here?

126
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean those three are all attractive, like their situations

127
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: and opponents, and yeah, yeah, um Pits is five thousand Farmouth.

128
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: Hawkinson is my only question with Hawkinson. And we saw

129
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: this last year when all the other receivers were kind

130
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: of out, doesn't matter, didn't help. The defense is just

131
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: kind of okay, well we got to stop this guy,

132
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: and so he just wouldn't see a ton of targets.

133
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: It sounds like you would rather, I mean, if a

134
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: hundred all difference, you'd rather Friar Muth than Hawkinson. I

135
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: know he's gonna get Okay, let's eliminate that one. Yeah,

136
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: let's put it in there. If we need the extra

137
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: hundred bucks, we know we can save it there, and

138
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: if we do, this might be a spot too. If

139
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: we have extra cash to move off the pits, we

140
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: could do that too. Yeah, we could do that. You're

141
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: putting fireman in for now, Yeah, we'll put him in

142
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: a pencil man. Josh Allen is eight four hundred this week.

143
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: Baltimore is thirty second against quarterbacks. He's never bad. No.

144
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: On the other side of that, Lamar Jackson is three

145
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: hundred Buffaloes number one against opposing quarterbacks. I mean, I'd

146
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: rather spend up for pay. It's a hundred dollar difference.

147
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: I just read this today. Lamar Jackson has the most

148
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: quarterback Fantasy points through three weeks in the history of

149
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: the NFL. Doesn't surprise me. Jalen Hurts is only a

150
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: hundred dollars less of Lamar. He's eighty two hundred. There's

151
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: no value there this week. No. Uh, then you've got

152
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes at eight thousand. I don't like that one,

153
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray at seventy six hundred mm hmm. Justin Herbert

154
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson at d uh. Stafford is sixty d um.

155
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: The Niners are actually second and quarterback defense Aaron Rodgers

156
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: is that might not be bad. You know, he's not

157
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: gonna be bad. Supposed to great defense, control the game.

158
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: Brady is, do you think that the breakout comes this week?

159
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz six thousand, Jared goffred, Derek Carr is fifty

160
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: eight hundred, Trevor Lawrence is fifty seven hundred, Mary Oda

161
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: is fifty six hundred. He'll run a little bit. I

162
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: think he's like the ninth quarterback and scoring. Yeah. Matt

163
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: Ryan is fifty six hundred, Jimmy g is fifty hundred,

164
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette is fifty five hundred, Ryan Tanneyhill, Fred Gino

165
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: Smith hundred, Daniel Jones. Cooper Rush is fifty dollars against

166
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: that awful Washington defense, they might get gallop back. I

167
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: think Schultz might play. That's kind of score points. It's

168
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: kind of tempting. I was leaning more towards Allen. You're

169
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: talking about Cooper Rush. Yeah, Like, if we want to

170
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: play really pay up here. Joe Flacco, Jack Wilson, Mr.

171
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: Bisky's up there this week. He's not the word. He's

172
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: not the last. That would be Brian Hoyer um and oh.

173
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: Davis Mills is five thousand as well, so I don't

174
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: mind the rush call. Um, we've been a little cheap

175
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: with our first two guys we have, but man, we

176
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: could really pay up for some receivers and stuff. Um,

177
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Alan's appealing to me, but that is really expensive. And

178
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: there was somebody in the middle neighborhood. I kind of

179
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: liked all that you were into. Let me think about

180
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: that especially. Yeah, that's not bad. They've got a lot

181
00:10:53,600 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: of defensive injuries, and so we would save three by

182
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: going with Cooper Rush over Mariota. Uh, Mariota is averaging

183
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: eighteen point three points per game this season, whereas Josh

184
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: Allen's averaging thirty two point three points per game. You

185
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: want to come back, let's do you want to come

186
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: back to this, and let's let's look at some running

187
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: back Let's look at some running back prices. We can

188
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: come like your rush call, but for the price, I

189
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: think I would take Mariota over right. Yeah, so to me,

190
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: that's either Mariota or out, depending on where we want

191
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: to spend our running back receiver. Let's see if there's

192
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: somebody we want to stack with one of those guys. Uh,

193
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: comes we could too, Yeah, we could do that. Jonathan

194
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: Taylor's eight hundred. I don't love it. McCaffrey's eighty seven hundred,

195
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is eighty three hundred, Sakwon Barkley is eight thousand.

196
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: There's just no value there with those guys. Elite and

197
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: Barkley maybe the best of the group. Chub Is seventy

198
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: r seventy seven hundred, Aaron Jones is seventy five hundred,

199
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: four net Is sixty eight hundred, Nausea Harris sixty seven hundred.

200
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: Think Jones is my favorite of those expensive guys. Javonte

201
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: Williams is sixty six hundred of their offense more core.

202
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Darrel Patterson a little bit banged up though. Uh. James

203
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: Robinson is sixty eagles or twenty four against opposed king backs.

204
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: It's not bad. James Conner down, yeah, yeah, that's more.

205
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: Edwards hilaris um Ezekiel Elliott sixty one hundred. Jamal Williams

206
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: that's not that's not bad. Yeah, they're twenty seventh against

207
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: opposing running backs. To you might be all chalky, but

208
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: so well. Yeah. Kareem Hunt six thousand, Tony Pollard six thousand,

209
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson his six thousand, miles Sanders six thousand, A J.

210
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: Dillon six thousand. That's not bad on Dillon. I mean

211
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: it's a big jump between him and Jones. Devin Singletary

212
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: is I never owned him anywhere. The Ravens at opposing

213
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: running backs up, Melvin Gordon is hundred and that same matchup,

214
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: he's questionable, but he's probably gonna play the un it.

215
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: Khalil Herbert is fifty seven hundred. I think that's gonna

216
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: be and everyone that'll be a Chalky one too. I

217
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: think put it in okay, I mean unless you, I mean,

218
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: I know there's logic to not taking the Chalky stuff.

219
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: I think he's a running back one this week. Damian

220
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: Pierce is dai yea against posing running backs. They got

221
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: their own issues. If you think the Jaguars are going

222
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 1: to be losing this week, A T. N Is. I

223
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: just don't like him for fantasy now as much as

224
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: I did before the season started. Breece Hall is it's

225
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: pretty cheap. I think Hall is taking the running back

226
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: carries over. Jeff Wilson is hundred. JK. Dobbins is fifty

227
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: three hundred. I need to see a game at Dobbins first.

228
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: Damien Harris is fifty. Yeah, I take Stevenson over Michael

229
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: Carter is fifty two hundred. REMONDERI Stevenson the four mentioned.

230
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: He catches all the passes and they're gonna be losing.

231
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: And the Bears ran the ball effectively even then they

232
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: lost that game against That's not It's not awful at all. Um.

233
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: Someone still get stood out to where Bruce Hall, Uh,

234
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: Dylan ra Shot Penny Lions don't have a great d

235
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: there thirty first against opposing running backs. Who was the

236
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: one who said a minute ago to uh Dame Ramandre Stevenson,

237
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: Penny Stevenson and Herbert's too shabby? That might give us

238
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, that might get us Josh Allen and mhm

239
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: hm put those three in and I don't like the

240
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: expensive ones. Let's go with Stevenson. That leaves us in

241
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: an average to spend. So do we do we try

242
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: to match up right now to say it, but I

243
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: think Bruce Hall could be I've been trying to buy

244
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: him in leagues. Yeah, he's I think it's gonna be

245
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: one of the last chances, and I don't know the

246
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: run we might be able to afford. Stefon Diggs and

247
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: Alan stack that. Let's do that. Yeah, digs is eight. Yeah,

248
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: and then Josh Allen is that leaves us It's not bad.

249
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: We got fifteen six to spend on three spots, too

250
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers and a flex. I bet we can find

251
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: some receivers in the five thousand range that we like.

252
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: Let's cut to the chase on something. Since this is

253
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: our last segment of the week, do you think George

254
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: Pickens is a good put in there? I think he

255
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: might be. We did it last week. It kind of

256
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: worked out. Chase Claypool seven hundred. Uh, Corey Davis, Yeah,

257
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking here for I bet Pickens is really cheap.

258
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: I bet he is one big play, could go alone.

259
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: Way I'm looking here. I'm still not fine. Love having

260
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: muth and Pickens, but well we could change muth out

261
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: if that's let um man. I'm still like scrolling and scrolling.

262
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: I am scrolling. I'm about to do a search for

263
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: him here. Just a good sign he's gonna be cheap,

264
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: give me super cheap. George Pickens is unred. I think

265
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: you do it. I mean, I gotta think there's some

266
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: shots coming now. That leaves just them with fifty to

267
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: spend on our last two spots. I figured as much. Yeah. Um,

268
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: so we get a little bit more money to play

269
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: with here, So we could go with another high end receiver.

270
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: And if you then wanted to plug in, say a

271
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: Breefe Hall in your h we could also turn Muth

272
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: into Pitts if we If we do that, Garrett Wilson's

273
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: he's got a good matchup. Um Jeff Wilson Jr. D J. Morris,

274
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: My god, how the might have fallen there? Kittles fifty

275
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: three Hunter Robert Woods, Isaiah McKenzie is we could really

276
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: I think you put mackenzie in. Okay, they were putting

277
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: him in the flexory, putting him at wide receiver. So Mackenzie,

278
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: we're living and dining with that Bill's passing game. But

279
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: that's a good one to live in. That that would

280
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: then leave us to spend on the So you want

281
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: to you wanna take Firemouth out and put Pitts in.

282
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: We end with and yeah, alright, so Pitch is in.

283
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: That leaves us in with fifty unred to spend on

284
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: our FLEXI. We could afford that gets just we could

285
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: get we could really load up on the Bill's offense here.

286
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: That would get us Devin Singletary, that would get us

287
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett, that would get us Brandon Cooks, that would

288
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: get us Davante Smith, Melvin Gordon, Curtis, Samuel uh Rashaw

289
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: Bateman on the other side of that Bill's matchup. I

290
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: think Bateman a little bit of a bilow right now too.

291
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: That would get us Damian Pierce. I like Pierce when

292
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned the first time, that would get us Darren Waller.

293
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: We could go with the double tight end offensive denverse

294
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: against opposing tight ends, Cam Akers, Josh Jacobs, Jerry Judy,

295
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster. If you think that the Bucks are

296
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: gonna blitz a lot, do you think Juju is the

297
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: hot route. I think he's the best receiver. Yeah, I'd

298
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: be fine with that bread and if we wanted to,

299
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: we get upgraded defense. True. I think I think Hall

300
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: is a nice pickup. I like your Juju call. Uh

301
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: Pierce was intriguing to me. Juju and Hall are the

302
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: same price all over the two. But that's okay. He's

303
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: gonna get more touches. Yeah, I just think he's the

304
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: receiving back now, but we'll put it in there. That

305
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: leaves us another five hundred dollars that we could spend

306
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: that would get us a three thousand dollar defense, which

307
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: in which in that is in that range that was

308
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: the Colts, the rams of forty Niners for the Colts

309
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: to the Titans, that's who we had. You could also

310
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: get the Chiefs, the Panthers, the Raiders, the Falcons, the Lions.

311
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: I think the Niners will get Sacks. I really like

312
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: the Colts matchup. Is there somewhere else we could upgrade?

313
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: And when you put that back in, what we haven't

314
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: there we had? I don't mind upgrade the defense right now.

315
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: We had the Titans right Yeah, I'm gonna where else

316
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: will we upgrade at? Yeah? We're not gonna get a

317
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: better tight end or quarterback unless you went upgrade for

318
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: Isaiah Mackenzie. I kind of liked his value. I did

319
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: to Kenzie and Pickens are helping us out on these

320
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: other spots. Pick a D. I would vote Colts, but

321
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: a lot of those are fine. We're playing the other side.

322
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: We have the Titans in there now, so we think

323
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: that the culture at home there at home, and I

324
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: like the front seven and Titans lignes bad. We can

325
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 1: do that. We're the Niners are good sack team though too.

326
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: They're right in that neighborhood are and you know that

327
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: Stafford will throw some to the other team. I'd say,

328
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: if you want to Diners, I got no qualms with it.

329
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: I think it's a big Bosa Donald. I mean, there

330
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: are averaging a lot more points per game. They're averaging

331
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: eight point three points per game as opposed to the

332
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: Culture averaging four. Let's go to the nine. All right,

333
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lock it in. We've got Josh Allen and

334
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: eight four hundred paying up a quarterback this week. We

335
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: don't usually do that. Khalil Herbert at d Ramandre Stevenson

336
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: at fifty two hundred. Does are two cheaper running backs?

337
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: That gets the Stefon Diggs to a stack with Josh Allen.

338
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: Like that? Uh, then we have Isaiah McKenzie to stack

339
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. I like that. George Pickens at thirty

340
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: eight hundred. Just have a feeling, YEA one big play

341
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: is all you need. Kyle Pitts at tight end against

342
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: the Browns who are all banged up on defense. Breece

343
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 1: Hall and the flex against the Steelers who think you'll

344
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: catch some passes, run defense hasn't been hasn't been great,

345
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: and then the forty Niners def and I'm locking it in.

346
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. That is a five

347
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: dollar double up. So we are what four and oh right?

348
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: Including that Thursday? How about that? Um? So thank us

349
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: later see how that works out. It is prediction time, Matt.

350
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: What you got sixteen Steelers in a game? I think

351
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: they control for the most part. I am expecting a

352
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: big play or three on defense. You nearly stole my

353
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: my score. I have sixteen Steelers, Um, I just think

354
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: pretty darn close. I think they controlled the game. Like

355
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: I said, form, you know, get an early lead because

356
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: that's what the Jets allow. Maybe it's a turnover and

357
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: he sets the offense up for an easy one. The

358
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: fact that Zack Wilson hasn't played in two months and

359
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: then you throw him right into a game on the road,

360
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: that's tough and he wasn't good to begin with. Yeah,

361
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: maybe he's better now, but he wasn't good to begin with. Yeah,

362
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: so that gives me some pause. Makee Fitzpatrick should be ok. Hey,

363
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: we'll see if he gets cleared, but I expect him

364
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: that to happen. I mentioned a big play on defense.

365
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: I think make A does one or two him into

366
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: beat him into something here. I think high Smith has

367
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: his way on the on the left side as well.

368
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: They may push some stuff that way. I think Cam

369
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: Heyward looks like Cam Heyward again too. Yeah, yeah, I

370
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: mean I just think he's too proud, too good to

371
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: have average performances. Yeah. Um so, I think the Steelers

372
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: do win this one, and win so relatively comfortably, and

373
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: maybe some some of the narrative changes just a little

374
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: bit about them. I understand they're going into a tough

375
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: stretch of games coming up here, but you know, if

376
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: you put twenty plus points on the board here, twenty

377
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: four or whatever, it may be maybe some things. Two

378
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: and two with t J. Watt on the horizon doesn't

379
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: sound so bad, doesn't, folks. I know that there's hard

380
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: teams ahead, but you've gotta play. I mean, no games

381
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: are easy the NFL, right, I mean, this game is

382
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: on easy two and two with t J. Watt coming

383
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: around the corner and maybe some progress on offense. I

384
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: don't think that's a bad what would be in yeah,

385
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: I would agree on and three and looking bad against

386
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: the Jets, that would be different. Um, but yeah, you

387
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: gotta win this one. Um. You know, we'll see if

388
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: that comes to fruition. We'll talk about it on Monday

389
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: when we come back. Don't forget uh, stay right here
