Amon-Ra St. Brown is my captain, and I'm putting Jahmyr Gibbs in the flex next to him.
St. Brown has 19 catches on 27 targets, 209 yards, and four touchdowns in two games. He's averaging 33.5 DraftKings points, the highest average in this game. He's $10,800 in the flex and $16,200 at captain. Gibbs at captain is $17,700, and he's been great too, 208 rushing yards, 91 receiving, three total scores. But the catches are where the points have been, and St. Brown is catching everything. The captain button is $1,500 cheaper and that money goes straight to Gibbs.
That leaves $22,000 for four spots after the two of them. It's tight, not impossible. Jared Goff at $9,800 has six touchdowns and no picks, and he makes the Detroit stack whole. If I take Goff, the last three spots are cheap Jets.
Sam LaPorta is the Lion I like at his price. $6,800 for 11 catches, 100 yards, and a touchdown. Jameson Williams at $7,800 has 13 targets, six catches and no scores. Leave him for LaPorta.
On the Jets side, Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall are both near $9,000. Wilson is $9,200 and LineStar had him at 23.3% of the Jets' targets and 36.7% of their air yards on Friday night ([Sept. 25](https://x.com/LineStarApp/status/2103663093360496747)). Hall is $9,400 and has caught all seven of his targets on top of 131 rushing yards. I'd take Wilson. The Jets are going to be throwing if Detroit scores the way it's been scoring, and Wilson is the guy Geno Smith looks for.
Geno at $8,800 has one touchdown pass in two games. He doesn't throw picks, and he doesn't throw touchdowns. I'm not captaining him.
Adonai Mitchell is questionable with a finger injury. Rich Cimini wrote Friday that he practiced with the finger splinted and his hand wrapped ([Sept. 25](https://x.com/RichCimini/status/2103583926992216262)). He's $6,400 and has 123 yards on nine catches. If he plays, he's fine. If the splint turns into an inactive, I'm not holding him at lock. Mason Taylor is out with the thumb, which pushes Kenyon Sadiq ($4,000) into the tight end spot. Sadiq has a rushing touchdown and five catches. He's the cheap Jet I'll use most. Isaiah Williams at $3,400 caught all six of his targets last week. That's the other one.
Braelon Allen at $4,400 has one touchdown on 15 carries. I don't need him.
If I'm playing a kicker, it's Jake Bates at $5,000. 8 for 8 on extra points, and that's the stat that matters for a Lions kicker. Jason Sanders is $200 cheaper and made a 52. I'm skipping both defenses. The Lions are $4,600 against a quarterback with no interceptions. The Jets are $3,000 against a team that put up 31 in a loss.
St. Brown captain, Gibbs flex, and then whatever fits. Enjoy it. @numeric_dfs
