00:00Let's move to the wide receivers here, see if that trend continues, because if so, it's

00:06going to allow us to really pay up at, I'm assuming quarterback, or maybe it's tight

00:10end.

00:11Never know with Joe.

00:12You know, Joe always says, as far as the tight end goes, one touchdown makes a tight end

00:14one.

00:15But let's start here at wide receiver.

00:16Jamar Chase, 9,500, Justin Jefferson, 9,200, and AJ Brown, 9 even.

00:21For me, I want to pivot all the way down to a guy like Terry McLaurin.

00:24I want to get your thoughts, because now if I have Chubb at 6,500 and a guy like McLaurin

00:28at 7,400, I mean, I can do whatever I want, no?

00:33Joe?

00:34Yeah, you absolutely can.

00:36Justin Jefferson at 9,200 is still going to be a very good play.

00:39I think he's going to eat those corners alive, personally.

00:42So you could always go up for Justin Jefferson if you're going to pay up.

00:45He's my favorite of that group to pay up for.

00:47AJ Brown is in a good spot, too, against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

00:50So you know, if you want to pivot away from the Rams that are very chalky, the Eagles

00:53are a really good pivot.

00:54Hurts has played terrific.

00:55Hurts, AJ Brown, that stack looks really good.

00:57If you want to put Saquon in there and just fade everything else in your budget, you could

01:00do that, too.

01:02Like Cup over Nakua, that's my approach.

01:05Terry McLaurin's very much in this thing as well.

01:07If you're looking for some other guys, too, Chris Olave at 6,100 on DK is a good value

01:12there.

01:13I like him in the PPR.

01:14Tillman's just 4,300 on the DK side.

01:16On FanDuel side, Chris Olave is 7,100.

01:20And I keep mentioning Jalen Coker as a lineup builder.

01:22He is just 5,200 over on FanDuel.

01:25That's going to help you out quite a bit in a flex spot.

01:28Get up to some of these bigger players, because I think Coker actually is going to have some

01:31garbage time potential here in this game.

01:33You saw it last week a little bit, too.

01:35Sometimes, you know, when these guys get bumped to the second team like Bryce Young, you start

01:40working with some other guys, and Coker's one of those guys.

01:42And last week, he had four catches on six targets for 78 in a touchdown.

01:46I'm not saying it's completely repeatable.

01:48I'm saying it's something to notice and something to recognize that him and Xavier Leguette have

01:53some talent, and there's nothing but garbage time and upside ahead for them.

01:58So they're going to have to be throwing the football at some point in this game, in which

02:01case those guys become intriguing to me.

02:03So I would keep an eye on those guys.

02:05But Cup is my main target of the day against Seattle.

02:09I think he's the best value and return on investment on the board, considering the game

02:13script, the situation.

02:15Puka being on the field is a good thing, too, because defenses have to account for both

02:18of them.

02:19In some ways, I actually like it more that Puka's on the field for Cup.

02:23Even though he's not 100 percent, because that's like that perfect storm, right?

02:26He's on the field, not completely healthy.

02:29So look for Cooper Cup to work a lot, because the opposing defense has to account for both

02:34of these guys.

02:35And that's a tall task for the Seattle defense.
