1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on Home of the Black and

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale only

3
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: he is Matt Williamson, and it is time for the

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football focus here on the Drive. And as we

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: do every Friday, we'll put together a DFS lineup. This

6
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: will be for Sunday games only. We don't have a

7
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: Monday night game to worry about. Knock on wood. Yeah,

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: and we already picked a Saturday and we already picked

9
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: our Saturday slate yesterday, So we've got thirteen games from

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: which to pick up. Makes it a little easier than

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: what we did yesterday. Is that correct? I believe? So

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: there was no Thursday game. Maybe it must be fourteen games,

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: makes sense? Yeah, okay, I want to said thirteen here.

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: Maybe we don't get the night game. Maybe this is

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: just the I don't know said third team when I

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: picked it. All right, let's get a let me see

17
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: if there is a night game on here. It doesn't

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: look like they don't. They don't have Packers lines. Yeah,

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: that's fine, that's fine. We need to anybody from that.

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and look at our defenses here.

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: Starting from the bottom, you get the Cardinals Giants, no Patriots,

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: no Commanders, no Ravens, no Rams, no Falcons, no Broncos.

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: If the Falcons were respectable, I think about it. Broncos

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: at hundred, it's not bad because I mean, even if

25
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: the Chargers play everyone, it's still a good deal. There's

26
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: still a good defense. If they don't, it's a great

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: defense to start. Maybe maybe you got the Panthers. You've

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: got the Jets at hundred. I really like that against

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Skyler Thompson. Yeah, they're that's I mean, that's a really

30
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: good defense. Absolutely, and yeah I'd rather play them than Miami. Absolutely. Okay,

31
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: so we got that taken care of their nice cheap defense.

32
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: Quarterback you've got Josh Allen hundred. You've got Jalen Hurts

33
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: at eight two hundred. Do we think that both will

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: play four quarters? Though? If they don't, because if they don't,

35
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: because they four touchdowns on the ad, Yeah, good things

36
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: already happened. Joe Burrow is seventy hundred. Justin Herbert hundred,

37
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: but we don't. Dak Prescott is sixty six hundred, Kirk

38
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Cousins is undred. Tom Brady he's not even he's to play.

39
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: Gino Smith is six thousand, kind of leaning towards like

40
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: a Gino or a Lawrence or somebody you know w's

41
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: gonna go. I don't think Daniel Jones is gonna play

42
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: rock parties. He's not a great fantasy. DeShawn Watson hundred,

43
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew is not even playing, Russell Wilson hundred, Sam

44
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: Donald is fifty three hundred, Cooper rush is fifty two

45
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: hundred again, Baker a Field fIF Tyrod Taylor who probably

46
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: does start for the d Taylor Heineke fifty one hundred,

47
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz Taylor honeke. He's not even playing this. Carson Wentz,

48
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: who's not playing this week, is fifty one hundred. Mac

49
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: Jones is five thousand, Sam elling jer is five thousand

50
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: against Houston, Davis Mills, he's not playing. Jacoby Brisett not playing.

51
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett is five thousands. Starting for the Texas is

52
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: not Mills. Oh you know they are starting Chase Daniels

53
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: for the Chargers's five thousand. What do you like? I

54
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: mentioned Lawrence, but he's not on his slate. I'm about

55
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: Desmond ritter At. It's not the worst thing. I do

56
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: hate that spend a lot of places. I was thinking

57
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Dak he's a lot more expensive than this neighborhood. Here's

58
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: the problem this week. Who's playing and who's not. Yeah,

59
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: that's why a lot of those names I don't feel

60
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: confident are gonna put up enough points. I liked. I

61
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: would like Gino Smith if I knew that. I was

62
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: thinking that too. That's why I was kind of leaning

63
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: towards Lawrence, but I forgot that he's Saturday. Yeah, we

64
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: don't have him. Um, and Rogers would have been a

65
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: decent one. Yeah. I mean, guys, you know we're gonna

66
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: play basically start to finish. Russell Wilson, I thought about two.

67
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: In the last three weeks, Russell Wilson has been over

68
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: twenty five points. I mean, he's a proud dude that

69
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: has stuff to play for. It has been kicked all

70
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: year and he's earned it. But it's not the worst

71
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard. Judy's playing, Well, he's so cheap.

72
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: He's so cheap from you know, to see what happens.

73
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: I don't hate I mean, I don't hate it. If

74
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: he plays sixty minutes, you're gonna throw for two yards.

75
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: And I still haven't seen flacco On here. Wow, maybe

76
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: that news didn't get adjusted yet. Usually they have all

77
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: the back on their FLAC Mutch Wilson or something. Yeah,

78
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: fifty he's fifty four hundred dollars. Yeah. I thought about

79
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: that too, and it's like he's probably gonna play all

80
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: the whole game. Yeah, they're not. They don't have it's

81
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: not like they're planning for next year with him or anything. Gross,

82
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: go out there and do some stuff, finish the season strong.

83
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: If there aren't some huge dogs that we don't want,

84
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: we'll come back and upgrade. But I don't hate that.

85
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't like many of those quarterback options. Christian McCaffrey.

86
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: Do you want to go running back a tight end?

87
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,559
Speaker 1: Let's look at tight ends to stand alone. George Kittle

88
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: is six thousand. T J. Hawkinson Arizona. By the way,

89
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: his thirty one horrendous against opposing tight ends. Uh, Hawkinson

90
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 1: is fifty seven hundred. Mark Andrews. Yeah, like Dallas Goddard horrible,

91
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: Cole Commett hundred, Dalton Schultz fort Tyler Higbee is forty

92
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: four hundred. Their thirty second against opposing tight ends. Get

93
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: what's his targets lately? Uh? He's gotten um basically since

94
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: so the last three or four weeks, he has four

95
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: eleven and five. That's horrible. Last week was three catches

96
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: for eleven yards, though against the Chargers. The week before

97
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: that there was nine and two touchdowns. And he did

98
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: also score in that other game against Green Bay when

99
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: he had four for twenty seven and a touchdown. And

100
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: he's kind of like their number two receivers. Yeah, Mayfield

101
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: looks his way. Yeah a lot. We do this a lot,

102
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: though they still mention Friarmouth. Friarmouth is thirty eight hundred cheap.

103
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: I think he's Goddard level. Yeah, I mean if we

104
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: do that a lot, but plug it in. I mean,

105
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: there's there's there's no Kelsey this week, so there's no

106
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, if we were gonna spend up

107
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: by like Hawkinson, I had some interesting Goddard but Friarmus

108
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: just seems like he's way too cheap. Every week. Every week,

109
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: every week he's healthy, and they target him a lot. Okay,

110
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: running back and targets this week. Yeah, well there's always

111
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: that up. Yeah, and he's a very good chance to

112
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is undred, Austin Ekeler, sa Kwon Barkley is

113
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: eight thousand. I don't know if any of these guys play.

114
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is seventy five hundred, Dalvin Cook Is seventy

115
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: three hundred, Joe Mixon seventy one hundred. It's not bad,

116
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: but it's not bad. Was great last week. Do they

117
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: play Colas Campbell this week? Right? So? Yeah? Uh? Tony

118
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: Pollard is seven thousand, James Conner is out for vermondre

119
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: Stevenson is dred. That's not bad. I mean he produces

120
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: no matter what. Alvin Kamar six hundred, David Montgomery sixty hundred. Yeah,

121
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: Stevenson and Mixing are my favorite. Kenneth Walker, I like that.

122
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't hate that at all. Kim Akers on anything.

123
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: He is questionable because he missed practice earlier in the week,

124
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: but he's gonna play. He's gonna play. They need him.

125
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: Cam Makers is now and their run defense is junk

126
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: because they're both those guys from that ye Zeke Is

127
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: missed him. Nausey Harris against the Browns. Yeah, Raheem Moster

128
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: his six thousand. Miles Sanders is questionable, he's hundred. Devons

129
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: singletary hundred, JK Dobbins, unred, Tyler Alger, He's the one.

130
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson is out for Washington. Gibson isn't though, right,

131
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: Gibson's on I R. So it's gonna be. I have

132
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: no idea that they signed somebody this week. Okay, someone

133
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm not going to play in the DFS. No Josh Kellynna,

134
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah maybe uh four net probably doesn't play. Jeff Wilson, Yeah.

135
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: Rashad White is fifty hundred, they'll play the whole game

136
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 1: some JP. Ryan is fifty four hundred. Latavious Murray is

137
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: the Chargers defenses can't stop them. The fine point four

138
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: yards to carry. We're gonna to Broncos. I don't mind Murray.

139
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: A couple of his names stand out though. There's some

140
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: good ones there. There's some high ones or some lowest.

141
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: James Cook five thousand. I kind of like that too.

142
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: I like alas years, Like, do we really want to

143
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: pay up and load up at wide receiver and flex?

144
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: We can? We can easily find three. We can easily

145
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: find three wide or three running backs to stuff all

146
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: shapes and sizes like, I like mixing less. Now after

147
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: hearing some of his other names, do you want get

148
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: a wide receiver? Let's let's there's someone that stands out.

149
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: It is just a monster this weekend. Justin Jefferson is.

150
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: We don't have a lot to play for. But he's again,

151
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: how close is he to two thousand yards? That's my question.

152
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: He is at seventeen seventy one, so he's not close. Yeah,

153
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: consider him. It's certainly a consideration. H Tyreek Hill hundred dollars.

154
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: But the Jets are number one against wide receivers and

155
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: it's Skylar Thompson. I don't like that, Jamar Chase man Higgins.

156
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: I'd be interested in Ceedee Lamb eight two hundred. I'd

157
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: rather invest in those guys than Jefferson. Yeah, they have

158
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: something to play for. A j Brown's eight thousand, Okay,

159
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: he needs like nine yards to become their all time

160
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: leading receiving season receiver. They're gonna do that. First game

161
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: of the first play of the game is going to

162
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: Smith because he's always too cheap. Stefon dig seventy hundred,

163
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: Tee Higgins seventy six hundred, DeVonta Smith seventy hundred, Mike

164
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: Evans seventy d He's not gonna play. Jayleen Waddle is

165
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: seventred No, Chris Gobbins not playing se Keenan Allen, how

166
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: much does he plays are to DK Metcalf sixty seven.

167
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play. He hasn't done much lately, but he's

168
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: gonna play. He's gonna get pepper potargets. Mike Williams sixty hundred, Jerry,

169
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: Judy Chris, I'll lava Michael Pittman, D J. Moore. I

170
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: said he needed a hundred and twenty two yards to

171
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: go over a thousand for his four straight thousand yard seasons.

172
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: They might try to feed him the football. He's been

173
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: getting a ton of targets. Yeah, he's actually under budget

174
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: for what we have left. I think you plugged him in.

175
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: Do you have any interest in a Wilson to Judy Stack,

176
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: I thought he was a little cheap too for what

177
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: he's been doing. He's banged up though. There were a

178
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: lot of receivers I like, though, I mean from Chase

179
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: to Higgins to DeVonta Smith. George Pickens is five thousand

180
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: to see us throw in that game. I don't know

181
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: if they do a whole lot. Yeah, I'm just looking here.

182
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: I think you pay up at these first A couple

183
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: of these wide. I think you go Chase. I'm fine

184
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: with Chase in a J. Brown when Smith better than

185
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: a J Brown for them both? Oh no, we don't

186
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: go both all right? That leaves us in fifty four

187
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: hundred on average to spend four would you put in

188
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: the Chase? And so we got DJ More, Jamaar, Chase

189
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: and DeVante Smith. I like all those are three of

190
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: my boats for sure. Yeah, so we got fifty an

191
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: average of fifty dred to spend on running backs. Here,

192
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 1: um looking at the back was under that there's a

193
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: cut Walker, Him and Acres were right next to each

194
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: other there. Acres was sixty two hundred, so both are

195
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: over budget. Nae Harris is sixty Yeah. I think the

196
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: bigger question is if we want one of them, can

197
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: we get somebody for Alger is fifty six hundred, so

198
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: that's about at but that's a rate at budget. Yeah.

199
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: Rashad White is fifty four hundred, which is right on

200
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: the number. Yeah, but then we got two of those. Yeah,

201
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm just looking here to see was cheap. It's not bad.

202
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: That's under bud. Yeah. Can that get us nausey or

203
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: Walker or oh yeah, yeah, because that nausea is the

204
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: cheapest to those guys. He's a sixty one, Acres is

205
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: sixty two, and Kenneth Walkers at sixty four. I like

206
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: Nausey more than Acres. I like Walker more than Nay.

207
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: Is it worth the three hundred dollars that would leave

208
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: us them with let's see the difference here. Whoops, I

209
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: put the wrong guy in, but Elliott and that's not

210
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: what we want. So it's sixty four hundred that would

211
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: leave us them with forty eight hundred to spend on

212
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: our last on a flex. I'm sure we can find

213
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: you if we go with If we go with Nausey,

214
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: we can put cooking. We can afford cook. I like that. Yeah,

215
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: I don't like I don't mind that at all. I

216
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: mean I bet Nausey get twenty touches. Oh I know, yeah,

217
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: there's no doubt against Yeah. So okay, So that leaves

218
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: us them with fifty one hundreds and James Cook is

219
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: five thousand, we could also get. I don't like it.

220
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: It's on of a night James Cook at five thousand.

221
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: I like that one boom, we sell a hundred dollars

222
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: left over. Do you want to look and see if

223
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: there's a defense we like better than the Jets because

224
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: we didn't go any higher than that. Let's take a

225
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: look and seem like a bargain to me. You get

226
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: the Bears are the Texans is the only other one

227
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: that we could go with there. I don't like to

228
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: go with the Jets. I'm gonna lock it in. I'm

229
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: fine with that. Jets will get sacks. Yeah, all right,

230
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: So we got Russell Wilson at quarterback, sort digest, but

231
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. Wait, how do I get but Chuba

232
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: Hubbard running back? That's not what I screwed up somewhere.

233
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: Maybe i'd cook in running back. I clicked on the

234
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: wrong guy. You can put cooker there and we can

235
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: see what a flex is. Okay, that's yeah, that's what

236
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to do here. Not that I mind

237
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: you Bobbard there. That's not horrible. We didn't mention them,

238
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: but that leaves us them with to spend on a flex.

239
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: Doing it that way, that's a little different. So then

240
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: you're looking at Hubbard. Matt Brida. No, although he's gonna start,

241
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna start right, yeah, okay, Uh, George pick Jordan Mason.

242
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't trust that, Okay, Drake London, I like that.

243
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't mind that. You got Dion Jackson, London, Dallas

244
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: Goddard because they don't throw the ball off they have

245
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: but Ritter targets him every time. Corey Clement, that's the

246
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: running back to the Washington Nuts. For Arizona, James Conner out. Uh,

247
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: you got um get Courtland Sutton. We could start Courtland Sutton.

248
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: He's what does he must nothing lately? I haven't paid

249
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: a whole lot of time. He had four catchers for

250
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: forty four yards last week. Would rather Sutton or London?

251
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: Something's cheaper? Right? If we went to the last two games,

252
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: he's gotten thirteen targets. He's caught nine of them for

253
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: a hundred and eight yards work. Do you like that

254
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: or do you like London? London? The last two games

255
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: he had eight targets. Last week he's gotten seventeen targets.

256
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: He's been a better place. So he has five catches

257
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: for forty seven yards last week, the week before, seven

258
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: for ninety six, seven for seventy Those are those are

259
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: the three games with ridar Quarters. Yeah he's yeah, he's good.

260
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: That's way too cheaper. Where did he go? He's the

261
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: number one receiver. Treat him that way? That leaves us

262
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: with two hundred dollars then extra. And let's then go

263
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: ahead and take a look at that defense that bias

264
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: from Cook. If we were to move up two hundred

265
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: dollars from Cook, does that give us I don't know

266
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: that that gets us enough? Um let me take a

267
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: look here. Where do you go? James Cook hundred gets us,

268
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: Zack Moss, Davante Foreman, Hm. I think I'd rather Foreman

269
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: than Cook. You know, he's gonna get the football. Yeah,

270
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: he seems to have big, big days and bad bad days. Yeah,

271
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: that's okay, Saints. He's he's got something to run for.

272
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: He's gone, yeah, okay, all right, So we got Russell.

273
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: Good thing. We went through the line up there. We

274
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: had Chuba Hubbard. That's not horrible, but yeah, all right.

275
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: So you got Russell Wilson at quarterback at fifty four hundred,

276
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: Davante for Min at fifty two hundred, along with Nausea

277
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: Harris at sixty one hundred at running back, d J.

278
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: Moore at wide receiver at sixty one hundred, Jamar Chase

279
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: at eight four hundred at wide receiver, Davante Smith. It's

280
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: seventy five hundred at wide receiver receiver. Yeah, uh, Pat

281
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: Friarmouth at thirty eight hundred at tight end, Drake London

282
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: at fort hundred as our flex and the Jets defense

283
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: at a low, low low price of twenty hundred. And

284
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: I think we're both picking the Jets, were both picking

285
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: the Bills. Um locked in, locked in? All right, why

286
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: don't pick all three of those games, Matt? Since we're

287
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: do we think the trifecta hits, So go ahead. I'm

288
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: gonna start with the Steelers. Score there, and then you

289
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: can do your Steelers. I guess I got Steelers. Okay,

290
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,479
Speaker 1: they get the twenty in this game. I know that's

291
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: a monumental number. I think they scored two touchdowns. I

292
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: don't think the Browns fourth quarter defense is going to

293
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: be great after getting run on so much, and the

294
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: Seelers might get over twenty points. But I think this

295
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,479
Speaker 1: is a very good matchup for I am picking them

296
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: to get over points someone Steelers, brown sixty. I just

297
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: think that they're the better football team, more to play

298
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: for at home. People who are picking the Browns to

299
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: win this game are not looking at what the Steelers

300
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: have done over the last eight weeks with t J

301
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: Watton the line, they don't give up a bunch of points.

302
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: And you're missing your right tackle. That's a huge, huge thing,

303
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: bad run defense, especially on the interior. No right tackle,

304
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: amongst other problems. Right and nothing to play for. We

305
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: don't like Clowney as a player, but he's the best

306
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: that they got and he ain't playing. You're gonna run

307
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: the ball. You're gonna run the football at will, and

308
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: I guess it makes it easier to double Garrett. You

309
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: know I shouldn't you anywhere near the quarterback. No, I

310
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: think this is a really bad matchup for the Browns. Yeah,

311
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: so I like the Steelers WO win this. Now, what

312
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: do you got in Bill's Patriots? I really I think

313
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: they're just gonna come out unbelievably emotional. Bill's Mafia is

314
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: gonna be insane, jumping through tables and shirtless, and there's

315
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna be like jumping through plates of glass and stuff

316
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,159
Speaker 1: like that in this one. And I just think that

317
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots aren't scoring. I think they get destroyed in

318
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: this game. I don't see them scoring more than ten

319
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: in this game. I'm gonna take the Bills one to ten. Yeah,

320
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: I just think they get ahead and cruise which brings

321
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: us to I think that's like a field goal game.

322
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick the Jets. I don't have a score

323
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: in mind, Like seventeen sixteen, I was thinking somewhere along

324
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: that same line. I'm gonna go Jets six thirteen. I'm

325
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: gonna go the same score of Steelers won by last week.

326
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: Um again, I don't know the flag. Flacco is not great,

327
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: but he's an NFL quarterback. I don't know. If Skyler

328
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: Thompson is right, and I think the Jets D is

329
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: the best unit of the group without differently constructed it,

330
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: then yeah, then it's stiff. Then it's a different story. Teddy.

331
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: I might pick Miami, but I don't trust Skyler Thompson

332
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: without a run game, you know, I think that's a

333
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: bad matchup. That's a lot to ask for a Brookie.

334
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 1: I just can't imagine them. I mean, I can they

335
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: could win the game. Did you see the owner or

336
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: somebody in the front office in Miami kind of said

337
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: everyone's playing for their jobs here. I mean you would

338
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: think it's well, they fired Brian Flores last year after,

339
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, for having a twenty three and twenty four

340
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: record in three seasons. Yeah, and it's not the most

341
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: patient organization, right, but you would think McDaniels first year

342
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: there was a success. They went they went all in. Yeah, right, right,

343
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: and again this is why you know these two all

344
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: Look at all these teams went all in. Don't always

345
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: work at the Raiders or Denver, Denver, a lot of

346
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: bad examples from another question. The Browns were all in

347
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: this rounds are all in. I'm not sure anybody. I mean,

348
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: the Rams are always all in. The Saints were all in. Right.

349
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: None of those teams are going to playoffs. We even

350
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: talked about. Yeah, that's when people lose their jobs. You

351
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: go push all your chips in and lose. Yeah, and

352
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you get to start rebuilding

353
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: that and you don't have draft picks. The Browns off

354
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: the draft, first round draft pick until Yeah, that's really

355
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: hard to deal with. And Watson needs to be great,

356
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: and Watson needs to be great to win this game too,

357
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean, without a doubt, and he hasn't been that.

358
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: He's been far far far from it. He might have

359
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: it in him, but he's there's not much proof to

360
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: think that it's gonna come out this week. Yeah, No,

361
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. Uh, you know, they've they've got issues.

362
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: They've got issues, and the Steelers are more than capable

363
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: of taking those issues and bringing them to the forefront.

364
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: You don't stop the run against the Steeler team, you're

365
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: in for a long day. I mean, just I know

366
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: it's a couple of weeks ago, but watching brown Saints

367
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: in extreme weather, you just saw the team. The Browns

368
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: don't want to be there, you know, Like, I don't

369
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: know that they're super doubting at this point. You know,

370
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: it's been a long year, answering questions about Watson all year,

371
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: and I mean, like, I think they're ready for the

372
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: season be over. And I understand it. No, I get

373
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: it too. I Mean, that's human. That's the thing that

374
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: I mean, whether you like Mike Tomlin or not as

375
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: a coach, the fact that he keeps his guys dialed

376
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: in throughout the season when they were two and six

377
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: and everybody, all the fans were yelling for them to

378
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: play for a draft pick, and he kept those guys

379
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: dialed in. That's a hell of a coaching job, it

380
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: really is. I'm sure you're aware of this because I

381
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: heard it recently that Miles Jack was interviewed like at

382
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: that point, who had just come from Jacksonville and are

383
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: used to losing, and he basically said, I expected everyone

384
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: just to be you know, dragon a feed and you know,

385
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: like down He's like, you never wouldn't have known what

386
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: our record was when we were two and for two

387
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: and six, Like that's not where I'm used to, you know,

388
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: something along those lines when I'm paraphrasing. But that's the beauty.

389
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why you don't every dank, right, you

390
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: just keep playing and see what happens. So, yeah, that's

391
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: gonna do it for our show today. Um, I don't

410
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: consecutive non losing season, that would tie the New England

411
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: Patriots for the second longest streak in NFL history. I

412
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,960
