All right, now at quarterback, of course Josh Allen is going to be the highest priced player
00:04
on Sunday.
00:05
But is this the same strategy, George, where you know you're getting fantasy points from
00:10
a quarterback so you want to save a little money?
00:12
You go down to Daniels, he's at 7,500.
00:15
Jalen Hurts is 7,300 coming off the concussion.
00:18
Boy, Baker Mayfield only 6,800 in this matchup.
00:21
You could save 1,400 and use Baker here.
00:24
Bo Nix is 6,300.
00:26
And I got to tell you, like, I do like Jordan Love and I like the matchup.
00:29
I don't like hearing, at practice this week, him in the media saying that his elbow hurts.
00:34
Like, I don't know, that seems to be a little bit of a bad sign for me, so I cannot pull
00:39
the trigger there.
00:40
It would have to be one of the first one, two, three, four, five on this list here.
00:45
I'd stop with Nix.
00:46
And Nix, boy, like, I don't know what that environment's going to be like for him in
00:50
Buffalo and he's been prone to throwing picks lately too.
00:54
Yeah, and Bo, I mean, my first inclination was to go Baker Mayfield because we know he
01:01
does the same thing almost every week, 300 yards, three touchdowns.
01:04
But the problem with Baker Mayfield is you're going to be behind the eight ball because
01:08
Allen, Daniels, Hurts, Nix, they're all going to run the football.
01:13
They're going to have rushing yards, right?
01:14
Allen's going over 40 yards, Daniels probably over 60 yards, Hurts, especially with the
01:20
tush push too.
01:21
You know, he's going to get in the end zone, although I do wonder if maybe the tush push
01:24
doesn't come into play, you know, with the concussion.
01:28
Maybe they'll just want to give the ball to Barkley and let him get it in.
01:30
We'll see here.
01:31
And Bo Nix runs the ball as well here.
01:34
So it's sort of the game I'm going to play, Greg.
01:36
Do I need to save?
01:37
How much money do I need to save?
01:38
If I don't need to save money, then I'm going to go one of the other guys here.
01:41
I don't know if I'd go Daniels.
01:42
As much as I'm worried about Nix being a rookie, Daniels is the same thing, although I think
01:47
he's fine.
01:48
I really do want to pay up for Allen.
01:50
We know it.
01:51
It's going to funnel through him.
01:52
He's going to throw the ball.
01:53
He's going to run the ball.
01:54
He's going to get to the end zone.
01:55
He does every damn week here.
01:57
But I don't know if I'm going to be able to afford to get the other guys in that I want
02:00
to get in.
02:01
But I'm okay with using, like I said, any of the top four.
02:03
I'm not going as low as Nix, although I do like him.
02:05
I have a funny feeling, though, for me, it's going to be Mayfield, all right?
02:09
Because I know what he's going to do here.
02:10
I'm going to eat it as far as the rushing yard is just concerned, but I'm going to need
02:14
to save that money.
02:16
Yeah, you know, my narrative all year is Washington, so I think if I used McLaurin
02:22
at 6,500, I think I would go with Daniels there, and that's like irrespective of them
02:28
winning the game at all, but I just think that that's such a good quarterback, wide
02:32
receiver stack.
02:33
You can't play that with Allen.
02:36
With Mayfield, if you were to do 6,800, I don't know that you can stack Evans, George,
02:42
because the price is so high, but you mentioned McMillan as a possibility as a third wide
02:46
receiver there, right?
02:47
Yeah, McMillan would be the guy I'd look at there, and he's much—was he 5,200, I believe
02:52
he was?
02:53
So that would be—and he's scoring touchdowns, just as many as Evans of late as well.
02:57
McMillan's a decent wide receiver.
02:58
He's not Chris Godwin, but he's a decent wide receiver.
