00:00Let's find the beneficiary of Justin Fields' good play.

00:06Who stands out to you on Pittsburgh, outside of Najee Harris?

00:09Yeah, Najee's a simple one, but Najee also had his arm in a sling last Monday.

00:13So there's already a little concern.

00:15Yeah.

00:16And they're like, oh, he's fine.

00:17I was like, I don't think anybody with their arm in a sling is just fine.

00:19So explain that one to me at the break.

00:22But George Pickens is where I'm going here for this one.

00:24I think we're starting to get Fields' confidence growing, which we talked about.

00:29That bodes well for George Pickens.

00:31This is a really cheap stack in DFS this week against a weak defense that can allow you

00:36to go up to Saquon Barkley, allow you to go up the defense board or wherever you want

00:41to go in some other positions.

00:42So I think Pickens is in a really good spot here.

00:45Good corner matchup.

00:46Indianapolis is weak.

00:48Pickens is kind of the guy, clearly, in that offense.

00:51And again, when you take a player like Jalen Warren out, there's more targets to go around.

00:55So I feel pretty good about Pickens at wide receiver this week.

00:58He should be in all your lineups starting.

01:00All right.

01:01I like it.

01:02At the top of the show, we talked about tight end turmoil and how to navigate it.

01:05We shake it out and one tight end actually comes out on top.

01:09Who do we like?

01:10Yeah, it's Dallas Goddard this week for me.

01:13Eleven targets last week, caught ten of them for 170 against New Orleans.

01:17Now we didn't have a touchdown, but we didn't need one.

01:19But still, you're going to see a lot of Dallas Goddard active in this game because Jahan

01:23Dotson and the rest of this wide receiver core that's left over, frankly, just isn't

01:26very good.

01:28So it's going to be a lot of Jalen Hurts, a lot of Dallas Goddard, and a lot of Saquon

01:33Barkley.

01:34This three-headed monster is what the Eagles are going to have to lean on heavily.

01:37Maybe another wide receiver steps up and makes a play, but I would not be counting on it,

01:40betting on it, or putting it in my starting lineup.

01:43Now, from the Tampa perspective, you know what they're going to do.

01:46The question is, can you stop them?
