4:30 Pacific at the Coliseum, NBC. USC's a three-point dog in their own building, ranked 12th against a 20th-ranked Oregon, and they've dropped four straight in this series. That's the setting. The lineup rule is simpler. Don't captain Trent Mosley.
Mosley's been a 25-point receiver and the flex is $8,400, which looks like free money until you read Thursday's report. Doubtful, and he already missed Rutgers. Corey Simms is out. The 25-point season is not the receiver room USC is bringing on Saturday.
Jayden Maiava is my captain. 26 a game, $10,400 flex, no bad tag. Dante Moore is right behind him at 23.8 and $10,600. I'll play Moore with Maiava. I'll captain Moore when I want the Oregon side and I'm tired of paying the USC quarterback. I won't captain both.
Dylan Raiola is the weird one. He's priced like a starting quarterback, $9,400, and he's been a 16-point guy while Moore has been at 24. Nobody I trust has said who's taking the Oregon snaps. Until that gets said, Raiola is a hold, not a value.
Dakorien Moore is the Oregon receiver I'm using. 16 a game, $6,800. Jeremiah McClellan has a similar average and he's listed out, so the targets have to land somewhere that is actually dressing. Evan Stewart is the other one at $6,600. Kayden Dixon-Wyatt is the USC receiver who isn't doubtful, 15 a game at $6,200. That's the bring-back with Maiava, not Mosley.
King Miller is the USC back, 15 at $7,400. Jordon Davison is the Oregon back at $9,000, which is a lot for 15 points. I'd rather spend that on a quarterback. Deshonne Redeaux did get bumped from questionable to probable. His average is 4.7. The tag improved. The production didn't.
Tradarian Ball at $3,400 has been a 15-point back. That's the dart, and it's a dart. Jamari Johnson is questionable. Leave the tag alone.
Gage Hurych over Caden Chittenden if you need a kicker. Neither one is why you win this.
See you at 4:30. @numeric_dfs
