Four games at 4:05 and 4:25. Tyler Shough is the quarterback, and Chris Olave comes with him.
Shough is $5,400 and 25.8 a game. That's the best average of any quarterback on this board, and he's cheaper than every other one averaging 20. He's thrown 90 times in two games, 62 completions for 662 yards, four touchdowns, two picks, and one score on the ground. That's a lot of volume, and New Orleans keeps throwing. Brock Purdy at $6,500 and Dak Prescott at $6,700 are both fine. They also both cost more than $1,000 extra.
Olave is the one catching them. He has 18 catches on 23 targets for 268 yards. At $7,200 he's $600 cheaper than CeeDee Lamb and he's averaging the same 26.9. If you want a third Saint, Devaughn Vele at $4,400 has 12 catches for 133 yards and a touchdown. Juwan Johnson at $3,700 has 120 yards at tight end.
Derrick Henry at $7,700 is the back. He has 40 carries for 212 yards and four touchdowns, and the Ravens are playing Dallas in Rio. Ashton Jeanty is $600 cheaper and I'm not taking the discount. He has 44 carries for 150 yards and no rushing touchdowns yet. Most of his fantasy points have come from 10 catches and two receiving scores.
Lamb is still a play. Three touchdowns and 197 yards on 13 catches. He's the receiver I'd put next to Olave in a lineup that isn't paying for Trey McBride. McBride is the best tight end here at $6,700 and 21.3 a game, but that's $3,000 more than Johnson.
Zay Flowers is questionable with the hamstring. He was limited in Friday's walkthrough in Rio ([Jamison Hensley, Sept. 25](https://x.com/jamisonhensley/status/2103575840013643794)), and Jonas Shaffer thought that morning it "still seems unlikely he'll play" ([Sept. 25](https://x.com/jonas_shaffer/status/2103545388204442039)). The 29-point average is one game, five catches for 150 yards. I'll check at 4:25 and not before.
Brock Bowers is questionable and hasn't played a snap this year. Field Yates said Friday he "still sounds like he has a shot at debuting" ([Sept. 25](https://x.com/FieldYates/status/2103561285879443709)). At $6,600 with a zero average, I'm not taking that shot. Mike Evans is questionable at San Francisco and he's $6,800 for 12.7 a game. Leave him too.
Kyler Murray cleared the concussion protocol and starts for Minnesota, per ESPN, so Carson Wentz goes back to the bench. Murray's DraftKings average is one quarter of football and means nothing. I'm still not playing a Vikings quarterback here.
Defense: the Raiders at $2,600. They've averaged 12.5, tied for the best here, and they're $500 cheaper than the Vikings.
Shough, Olave, Henry. The rest is up to you. @numeric_dfs
