This is the 11 o'clock Eastern one. 8 Pacific, 10 Central, FOX, Husky Stadium. Minnesota's 2-1, Washington's 3-0, and they haven't played since 1977. First time as conference mates. Kick is late enough that people will get cute. Don't.
Demond Williams is the captain. 26 a game, $10,800 flex. Drake Lindsey is $9,800 and he's been a 14-point quarterback. That's not a decision. Lindsey is a bring-back if you're already heavy on Washington. He is not the button.
Dezmen Roebuck is the Washington receiver I'd captain if I want Williams in the flex instead of at a time and a half. 16 a game, $9,000. Rashid Williams is the second one, 15 at $8,400. Fine piece. Not the first piece.
The price I actually like is Javon Tracy. 17.7 a game at $6,800, and that's better than Roebuck's average at less money. Noah Jennings is the cheaper Minnesota receiver under him, 14 at $6,200. A Williams captain, Tracy, and one Washington pass catcher is a lineup. It doesn't need a lecture.
Darius Taylor is probable. RotoWire had that on the 23rd, after he sat the Akron week: 20 carries, 71 yards, three touchdowns in the two games he did play. The season average still says 16. The carries say the scores are doing the work. $8,600 flex, yes. Captain, no. TJ Thomas is the other Minnesota back, $8,200 and 13 a game, if you don't trust the workload coming back.
Jayden Limar is out and the average still says 10.7. Doesn't matter. Jordan Washington, Hayden Moore, and the rest of the outs at the bottom of the file are outs. Zeke Bates is probable at $1,000 and a zero. Skip him.
Luke Drzewiecki has been a hair better than Tyler Robles and he's cheaper. Take the Minnesota kicker and go to bed, or don't. I'll be up.
