7:30 in Baton Rouge. Sam Leavitt has been a 33-point quarterback. That's the captain, and the flex is $11,600, so you feel it.
The rest of the roster has to be cheap on purpose. Dilin Jones is the LSU back, 20 a game at $10,000 flex. I'll use him as the captain when I don't want to pay Leavitt at a time and a half. Marcel Reed is the Aggie quarterback at $9,000 and he's been a 21-point guy. That's the gap. Leavitt has the season. Reed has the salary that lets you keep a receiver.
Mario Craver is that receiver. 17.8 at $8,600, and he's the Aggie pass catcher I'm comfortable captaining in a Reed lineup. Isaiah Horton is the second one at $7,600. Winston Watkins is the LSU receiver I want, 17.6 and $7,200, and he matters more this week because Trey'Dez Green is out.
Green's average still says 15.3. Ignore it. Thursday's report had him on a sprain, no surgery, a few weeks. Phillip Wright is out for the year. Kiffin said that Monday. Terry Bussey is out too.
Jamarion Morrow is the one that changed under us. Wednesday and Thursday he was questionable. Tonight the salary file has him doubtful. I never found a Friday story that explained the drop. I don't need one. Doubtful at $6,200 is a fade. Rueben Owens is the Aggie back who's actually available. His average is only 11 at $7,800, so you're paying for the opening, not for a season of work.
Ashton Bethel-Roman got better on the file, questionable Thursday and probable now, and the average is 1.7 at $2,000. Probable doesn't make that a play.
Scott Starzyk is the LSU kicker if Leavitt and Jones are moving it. David Olano if you're on the Aggie side and you need a leg.
That's the game. @numeric_dfs
