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 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Goals Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back to the Drive. He

3
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: is Matt Williams and I am Dale Lally and it

4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: is time for the Fantasy Football Focus. And as it

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: is Friday, we will pick our DFS lineup for the weekend.

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: We did one yesterday just for the Saturday games. This

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: will include the entire playoffs. Like this will be a

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: little more interesting for us here. Yeah. Absolutely, let's go

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: ahead and take a look. We're doing a five dollar

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: double up here, single entry, five dollar double up in

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: the in the top half. Yes, absolutely, that's the way

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: to do it like that. Um alright, Defense defenses. Dolphins

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: are the Seahawks, the Ravens dred to, Buccaneers twenty six hundred, Jaguars,

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: the Giants are eight thousand, The Chargers are thirty one

15
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: d The Vikings are thy two hundred, the Bills are

16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: thirty three hundred, the Cowboys hundred, the Bengals D. I

17
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: think Buffalo is way too cheap considering who they're playing.

18
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: I thought they should be maybe not one, but top

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: two hundred is pretty cheap. They're gonna be super jocky,

20
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: and they're they're phenomenal if we want to go cheap.

21
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bucks are bad. I mean I

22
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: think you lean more towards Dallas in that game. I

23
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: lean more, but I could definitely mean either way that

24
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: could turn the ball over. That's my point, right, And

25
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: their lines a little banged up. I mean, I think

26
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: it's a decent defense. It's healthy in Tampa, and there's

27
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: only there's seven hundred dollars difference between them and the Bills.

28
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: I would probably go Buffalo, Buffalo. I mean, the opponents

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: is so much different. You're getting a backup quarter as

30
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: soon as soon as they get up seventeen points, Miami

31
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: has to throw the ball. There's gonna be sad. Yeah,

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: there will be blood. Yes, Okay, you want to look

33
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: at quarterback to tight end. Okay, quarterbacks Allen Is, Joe

34
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: Burrow is. I don't hate that, uh, justin Herbert hundred.

35
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: I don't hate that. Dak Prescott Williams. Yeah, Dak Prescott

36
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: is six thousand, Kirk Cousins is fifty hundred, Brady is

37
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred. If you think he's gonna have to

38
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: throw every yeah, Trevor Lawrence is fifty seven hundred. Interesting,

39
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: that's pretty cheap for him. Yeah. Geno Smith is fifty hundred,

40
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones fifty hundred. He produces fantasy points. You're gonna

41
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 1: leave everything only he's gonna running a lot in that game.

42
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: Brock Purty isft three hundred. Um. I kind of like

43
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: Jones or Brady. Yeah, you can get you can really

44
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: go down and get Tyler Huntly at five thousand r

45
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, Yeah, that's ugly. I'm just like you can

46
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: go Skylar Thompson add as he should and Kenny pick

47
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: every week. I know, I like going cheap with Brady

48
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: or Jones. I mean, they may not be great players

49
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: at this point, but they're very good fantasy producers because

50
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: Brady throws a million times and Jones runs. Let me

51
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: call up. Let me see here real quick, what Jones

52
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: did in that game against the They just go around,

53
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: They just played them the first Uh where was that?

54
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a foundation who's running is a

55
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: foundational part of the Also, he had three he had

56
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: three thirty four passing, one touchdown, pass, four carries for

57
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: thirty four yards. He did fumble, but he had twenty

58
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: four point seven six points. He does it every week.

59
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: I mean there's a long streak of putting up points.

60
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: I don't mind. Let's go ahead punch it in. I mean,

61
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm not counting on him to win a too many.

62
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Problem is you can't really stack him. No, no, I

63
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: mean try, yeah, try guessing which receiver he's I mean,

64
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: that's not exactly a traditional stack, but a tight end.

65
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: Kittle is Mark andrew that's an issue. But they are

66
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: thirty second against. I mean they are just awful. Uh.

67
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews is fifty hundred. T J. Hawkinson fifty one hundred. Science. Yeah,

68
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards Hawk. Evan Ingram set on yesterday. I

69
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: think he's very good. She's very cheap. Dalton's Dalton Schultz

70
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: is Tampa based twenty seventh against opposing tight ends they played.

71
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: Let me see, that was back in week one, and

72
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: Schultz was a little banged up back then, but he

73
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: had nine targets and he went that banged up. He

74
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: had seven catches for sixty two yards and nine targets,

75
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: all three of those tight ends in a row. Schultz, Ingram,

76
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 1: Hawk to me are all primed to have nice games.

77
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: I worry that Durwin is gonna spend a lot of

78
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: time on Ingram though. Yeah, but I mean Schultz is

79
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: the cheapest oft I'm fine with it. I mean he's

80
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: kind of their number two receiver. Yeah, let's just plug

81
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: him in. If we have extra cash, we can pay

82
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: up a little bit, cause there's some other guys that

83
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: are right in that Neighborhoo would be the one I

84
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: pay up if we come to that. All right, So

85
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: we can now average sixty one hundred the rest of

86
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: the way, which is very nice at running back. Running back,

87
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: you've got McCaffrey at eight nine hundred, eight hundred. That's

88
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: a bad run defense, I think, Yeah, Uh, Barkley is

89
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: I don't hate that either. Dalvin Cook is seven thousand.

90
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: That's a terrible run defense. Cook just hasn't looked the

91
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: same to me this year. Joe Mixing is hundred, Tony

92
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: Pollard is sixty hundred, Travis A. T N Is sixty,

93
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker und Ezekiel Elliott six thousand, Most is fifty

94
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: eight hundred is question well. JK. Dobbins fifty seven hundred.

95
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: We talked about that a couple of weeks. So they

96
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: don't throw to the backs now, I mean, I'm sure,

97
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: they lean on as much as they can, but they

98
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: need them to catch passes. Devin Singletary hundred, Jeff Wilson hundred.

99
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: I don't hate Wilson. Is he gonna catch any passes though?

100
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 1: No playoff Lenny will though playoff Playoff get many carries

101
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: playoff Lenny is. That's not bad. He's gonna play more

102
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: than the Rock. I'm sure, Yeah, he trust you trust

103
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: playoff Lenny. I mean he's a picked up Michael Parsons

104
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: and yeah, do those type of things. Uh, you got

105
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: Madison at you get Rashad Weight at fifty one hundred. Uh,

106
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: you can get Josh Kelly five thousand, Matt Breed at

107
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: uh some, JP Ryan Dred James Cook hundred and Elijah

108
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: Mitchell atred. Jael Hasty also get some carries you gott

109
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: und Mitchell is pretty cheap, he is and what could

110
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: be a you know, sloppy type of game, and we

111
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: used him yesterday. Um, I kind of like plugging the

112
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: playoff Lenny in there and looking for one of those

113
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: uh eight catch games. Yeah, I think that's very possible.

114
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: I thought a t M was too cheap. If we

115
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: do that, I mean, we could really load up at

116
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: receiver and probably get one of these other top backs

117
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: as a flex because the other names are expensive. To me,

118
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: is I think a t N is too cheap? I

119
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: think four nets a bargain and Barkley verse Ekeler is

120
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: really interesting to me. I mean, I think we could

121
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: spend on one of those backs and be happy about it.

122
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: And I think you're right, a t N is right

123
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: on budget if we put him in and try to

124
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: save money for a big flex, either as a home

125
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: run receiver or one of those two backs. Yeah, maybe

126
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: we put like Palmer in a receiver or somebody like that.

127
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I don't I gonna hate it. Let's keep

128
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: that in mind for a big, big time back at receiver. Jefferson. Yeah, yeah,

129
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: he's good. Let me see what he did against them,

130
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: their giants in the first game. I bet he tore

131
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: him up. Oh he had twelve one, three and a touchdown.

132
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: He's the best player in the game. That's pretty nice. Yeah,

133
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: that was a thirty four point three game. Um yeah,

134
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know we can afford it. But

135
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: Zamar Chase against the Ravens now last week was last

136
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: week eighty six in a touchdown. Though yeah, in terms

137
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: of cost. The first time around against Baltimore, he had

138
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: seven for fifty on twelve targets. So he's had twenty

139
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: five targets in two games against the Rats, and Higgins

140
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: has a little something going on. Yeah, uh, how much more?

141
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Four hundred chases eight thousand. Tyreek is seventy hundred. No, thanks,

142
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb seventy seven hundred, Stefon Diggs seventy six hundred.

143
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: Do we want to look and see what he did again?

144
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: They're gonna play a lot of man coverage and try

145
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: to heat up Alan. Let's see what his game, what

146
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: he looks like. Okay, So he had five for sixty

147
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: on nine targets in Week fifteen. Not a great game.

148
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: He's been a little quietly. In the early game of

149
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: the season. He had seven for seventy four on eleven targets,

150
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: so I didn't really fine, but not He's usually higher

151
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: up on this list. Absolutely. Id's six hundred dollars more

152
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: than Keenan Allen a lot of targets I think he

153
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: has too with Williams. Yeah, Allen is seven thousand, Mike

154
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: Evans is sixty. He might get behind the coverage. Jalm

155
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: Waddle sixty six hundred, No thanks. Te Higgins sixty five hundred,

156
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: has no injury designation this area. These are a good

157
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: players that are every week Jefferson, Chris Godwin. I bet

158
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: they're bad against lots just a hundred because they're they're

159
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: lighted corner besides Diggs. Yeah, Metcalfe is sixty. I don't

160
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: like passing in that game there, twenty seventh against opposing receivers.

161
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: Mike Williams is out, Tyler Lockett is six thousand, pretty good.

162
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk fifty hundred, Brandon aut hundred, Debot undred, Josh Palmer.

163
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: He's never gonna leave the field really, and he's right, yeah,

164
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: we just plug him in. Yeah all right. I mean

165
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: Kirk's under budget too. That allows us now to average

166
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: the rest of the way kind of like Kirk there,

167
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: he was like a something like that. Yeah, we couldn't

168
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: get him in the lineup yesterday with our weekend lineup,

169
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: but we went with some other Jaguars wide receiver is

170
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: also under budget, notably under budget, which allows us then

171
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: we got two spots left and we can average seven thousand,

172
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: so out of the Ekeler Barkley, Chase Jefferson seven thousand.

173
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: If we just averaging seven thousand, that pays for Keenan Allen.

174
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: And then that was actually my next question. What if

175
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: you want like Alan and Evans or Alan and another

176
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: receiver in that neighborhood. Let me see, it's the seven

177
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: thousand running backs, and I wouldn't mind jumping up the hawk.

178
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: A seven thousand dollar running back would be Dalvin Cook.

179
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: I like the receivers better would be Joe Mixon, Tony Pollard,

180
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, Ezekiel Elliott. All those guys are under that.

181
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: Just above that, Barkley is sevent He's gonna get every touch.

182
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that. That's why I like the Jones.

183
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 1: I think it's Jones and Barkley. That was if we

184
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: spent sevent on Barkley, we would still have sixty to

185
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: spend on our flex. Let's see what that looks like. Alright,

186
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: So putting Barkley in his reflex allows us six spend

187
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: on the receiver. I should say that would get us

188
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett. I like that a lot, and it's it's

189
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: might be a sloppy game, yeah, but he's really good

190
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: and the fourth quarter could be him. I'm almost certain

191
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: in their two matchups their best corner Snead is a

192
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: metcalf follower because he's a big bodied guy. He was

193
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: brought in for that reason. Let's take a look at it.

194
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: So Week fifteen in Seattle, Lockett had nine targets, caught

195
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: seven passes for sixty eight yards. Did you get targets? Week? Uh?

196
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: Where we are here? Week two in San Francisco, Go,

197
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: Locket had eleven targets, caught nine for one oh seven. Wow,

198
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: targets in two games. Yeah, that's pretty nice. I think

199
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: the price about what we should expect for target. Yeah,

200
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: that's nice for the price. I mean that's the first game.

201
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: If you turn on the TV and it's a monsoon,

202
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: maybe we'll pull him out of the game. I mean

203
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: if it's ridiculous weather, because even dad, he's the guy

204
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: that catches all the short stuff. Yeah, but he also

205
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: has the bomb threats and I don't think he'll get those.

206
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: I mean, weather might be very bad. If it's if

207
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: he gets ten targets and they're all within eight yards,

208
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm fine because they're not to get the ball of

209
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: his hands. Okay, yeah, he'll catch more of those. No,

210
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: I like to lock it pick a Ton the weather

211
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: worries man. They may you know, they may go to

212
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: the wide receiver screen game and he's the guy that yeah,

213
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: so yeah, there's some stuff there. Um so right now

214
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: we have Daniel Jones DRED. We got Leonard four Net

215
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: running back along with Travis A. T n at sixty

216
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: unred horrible. Yeah, it's five point four yards of carry,

217
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: worse than the league. You get Jeff Josh Palmer, You've

218
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: got Christian Kirk. We're gonna be in. We're in early on. Yeah,

219
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: right right. Uh, you've got Tyler Lockett at six thousand,

220
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. We're gonna know by Saturday how we're doing.

221
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz at DRED. I think that's just a bargain.

222
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm not usually a Schultz believer, but that's too cheap.

223
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: He gets too many targets and not eight targets. You

224
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: got se Kwon Barkley at sevente and then the Bill's

225
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: defense attred. We have a hundred dollars left over, but

226
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: I don't think we can take it. I don't think

227
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: that gets us up. The only way I watched from

228
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: well that would get us Evan Ingram, Huh, he's so

229
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: Ingram versus Schultz. Now we're very invested right now. Again

230
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: in the Jacksonville game, I'm fine with either. I think

231
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: got picked Ingram, but I think both are Jackson I'm sorry.

232
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: The Chargers are wealth against opposing tight ends. As you said,

233
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: Darren James is gonna get I think he goes Shultz Darwin.

234
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: I think that will be the game plan. And it

235
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: was a big part of their offense. Yeah, without a doubt.

236
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: Um so not bad. I guess the last thing, if

237
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: we have a hundred bucks, is there someone a hundred

238
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: bucks cheaper than Palmer of interest. Let's take a look

239
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: at that. So at fifty four hundred, no cheap cheaper.

240
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: You got Gabe Davis at hundred k, j Osborne at

241
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: fort Adam thieland a hundred Zay Jones at forty. There

242
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: is Slayton at lately, along with Isaiah Hodgens, has been

243
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: their number one of late. So Slayton, Uh, I don't

244
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: think he played last week against the arrested guys. Against

245
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: the Colts. He at two for fourteen against Minnesota the

246
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: first time. Remember this is week sixteen, it's not that

247
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: long ago. Six targets, four catches for seventy nine yards.

248
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: I think that's still rather a Palmer. Looking at hodgens

249
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: Um so he he did play last week, he had

250
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: four catches on five targets for forty two yards and

251
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He scored touchdowns in four of his last

252
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: five games. I know he's been good, that's who he is.

253
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: But he's been kind of good against the Vikings in

254
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: Week sixteen. If we swapped Palmer for him, I bet

255
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: we could get Hawkinson maybe. Yeah, he's much different to

256
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: Palmer against the Vikings the last in Minnesota, twelve targets,

257
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: eight catches for eighty nine yards in a touchdown for

258
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: the Giants. He's good, you know, like he somebody has

259
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: to catch passes. I mean that does give us a stack. Yeah,

260
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: if we put him in, he should be the equal

261
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: price of Palmer. And if he's cheaper now we have

262
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: hundred more dollars available to us. We could even pay up,

263
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: kind of like bumping the Hawk. But your Shultz call

264
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: is a good value. We could bump up from St.

265
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett to somebody in the Keenan Allen neighborhood to

266
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: we could get Keenan Allen. We have we have no

267
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: we don't, so we can turn and lock it into Allen. Yeah,

268
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: well we have now we well, we we did take

269
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: we we flipped flow, we swapped out chargers wide receivers.

270
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: That's not a bad yeah, right, and we picked up

271
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: what's his face? Man? We still have three hundred left.

272
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: Now does that get us walk I don't think. I

273
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: don't believe that does. But let me tell let me

274
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: take a look here. No, that still gets Hawkinson. We

275
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: need well if we if we hadn't taken Allen, we

276
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: could have gotten Hawkinson. I'm fine with Schultz. I like

277
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: Evan Allen in the lineup, though. Yeah, just looking here

278
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: at Campbell's an outside corner. Their other corners aren't particularly good.

279
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: That could get us Jamaar Chase in the instead of

280
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: Barkley in the flex. Could you like better? If you

281
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: don't know their costs, Barkley's gonna touch up all more.

282
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: But as you said, they like to run it up.

283
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: They like to run it up as you Chase doing dances.

284
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't have a preference. Let me just go back

285
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: and take a look here again at what Chase did

286
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: in his games against the Ravens this year, last week,

287
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: last week, again, eight for eighty six in a touch

288
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: uh first game, seven for fifty, which was only twelve points.

289
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: You got hurt in that was in Week five in Baltimore.

290
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: He had twelve targets in the game, so I don't

291
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 1: think he get hurt. Yeah, he did play in Week six,

292
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: so that wasn't the game that he got hurt. And

293
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: bump up the chase instead of Barkley. I don't love

294
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: being that invested in Giants and we already have two

295
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: in the line. Barkley against the Giants, I don't think

296
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: he did. I don't think he played well well. He

297
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: had fourteen for eighty four in a touchdown and eight

298
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: catches for forty nine yards. Let's stay with Barkley. I

299
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: mean he's probably gonna be their leading receiver, or at

300
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: least you catches three hundred more. We could bump up.

301
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: We could bump Jones up to Kirk Cousins or Tom Brady.

302
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: We're Trevor Lawrence for that matter. I think I'd rather

303
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: Brady than Jones. I think I'd rather Lawrence and Jones. Okay,

304
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: with Lawrence, he at least gives you the opportunity to

305
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: get you get some running yards. Brady's not gonna Brady's

306
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: gonna throw up all fifty times, but it might be

307
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: fifty passes for two forty yards. Lawrence is safer. Yeah,

308
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: and we've got Christen Kirk, so we're doubling up on that.

309
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: We also have a t N so yeah, I think

310
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: all catch passes this one too. So we got all right.

311
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: So now we still have two hundred left over, but

312
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can spend it anywhere unless

313
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, run through the list for me again, making

314
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: five changes. I'm kind of okay. So we got we

315
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: got Trevor Lawrence a quarterback, Leonard four net, Travis a

316
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: t N at a running back, Isaiah Hodgens at, Christian

317
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: Kirk at, Keenan Allen at seven thousand at wide receiver,

318
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz at tight end at say Kwon Barkley at

319
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: seventy hundred at flex and the Bill's defense. Okay, my

320
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: only quiet you said, we have a little cash left over,

321
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: two left over? What's two hundred more expensive than Kirk?

322
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: Just curious comfortable with Kirk. But that gets us, that

323
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: gets us back to Tyler locks. I prefer lock at

324
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: the Kirk. Okay, we can always swap that out tomorrow

325
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: if it's if the weather looks really bad. Kirk's a

326
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: favorite around here. He's good. But I think lock it

327
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: is a little more upside. Okay, alright, I lock it up.

328
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: So lock it in, Allen, lock it up. Yeah, alright,

329
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: to lock it up. I'm gonna lock it in here.

330
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: So again it's Lawrence a quarterback for NET and a

331
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: t n at running back Hodgens lock it Allen at

332
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. We get Hudgens is smart by us. Yeah,

333
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: I think we're geniuses for that. Dalton Schultz at Sae

334
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley at Flex and the Bill's defense. That sounds

335
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: like a all we gotta do is finish in the

336
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: top fifty. We could. You don't get any more money

337
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: though for finishing first, which kind of stinks because I've

338
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: done that before. It's like, oh, I should have put

339
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: it so we don't even have to do a prediction.

340
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: We don't. First time we've done a prediction on Friday

341
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: a long time. We don't. Um. Yeah, that is a

342
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: rap um Yeah, just to uh real quick go over

343
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: anything that again. Lamar is not playing this weekend. We

344
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: talked about Lamar a lot yesterday and he of course,

345
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: I said, that's why you have a an agent to

346
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: put that kind of information out there, and lo and behold,

347
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: Lamar tweets out the information about his knee late late

348
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: last night. Again, if Lamar has an agent, he doesn't

349
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: have to do that, right to put back curtain, Dale

350
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: send me attacks today with that tweet saying this is

351
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: why you have an agent, you know, to handle things

352
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: like that, right, I mean, it's more than just doing

353
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: the contract. You are the spokesperson for that player with

354
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: the national media if he has an agent, like you

355
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: kind of mentioned yesterday. I bet we had a tweet

356
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: from Schefter a month ago. So oh yeah, so worse

357
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: than what they thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's the motivation

358
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: for anybody to put that out? Yeah, when when Lamar

359
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: was after the three weeks when he was supposed to

360
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: come back, Lamar still experiencing some you know, looseness in

361
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: his knee, and so they're gonna wouldn't be these hard

362
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: bas Well, we'll see what you washy makes the player

363
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: kind of makes him look bad right right right where

364
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: the agent would have said, hey, Chefty, why don't you

365
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: throw this out there? Okay, sure, and yeah, that's how

366
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: that's how it's all those things happen, and especially in

367
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: the NFL more so than some of the baseball happens

368
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: to um. You know, when I was still trying to

369
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: do those things, even last year, calling agents and as

370
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: an NFL reporter, it's hit and miss. I would call,

371
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: I would text, and I would email because you have

372
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: you have a list of this stuff and maybe like

373
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: one out of every five would get back to you

374
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: on something. I mean, that's just how I think. I

375
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: think hockey, basketball, things like that, where there's it's a

376
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: smaller yeah type. But NFL, they they knew who than that.

377
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: You know, Baseball, baseball and football have national guys who

378
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: cover this. That's who the agency. They just want to

379
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: put it out there once and not have to deal

380
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: with everyone local guy or floating around that and then

381
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: yeah and then he has it. That's how that works.

382
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,719

391
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: but that's decision beyond our control. That's the way it

392
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: goes this. You know, the Steeler season is over, but

393

398
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,000

399
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: this is this is our putting a rap on the season. Basically, Yeah,

400

402
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: we kind of treated this a little differently this week

403
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: to pull back to curtain, uh and talked a little

404
