Two games, both at 4:25: Baltimore-Dallas in Rio and Las Vegas at New Orleans. In a two-game slate I want one game to carry the lineup. I'm picking the one in Brazil. Dak Prescott is my quarterback.
In the four-game afternoon slate I'd take Tyler Shough. He's cheaper, and there are enough other games to fill the roster. With only four teams here, cheap doesn't matter as much, and every lineup is going to look a lot like every other one. What matters is which game goes off, and Prescott's has more in it. He's 48 of 65 for 454 yards and six touchdowns. Three of those went to CeeDee Lamb and two went to Jake Ferguson.
So the stack is Prescott, Lamb at $7,800, and Ferguson at $4,100. Lamb has 13 catches for 197 yards. Ferguson has six catches on six targets and scored on two of them. He's the cheapest way to get a Dallas touchdown.
The bring-back is Derrick Henry at $7,700: 40 carries, 212 yards, four touchdowns. If Dallas is throwing into the fourth quarter, Baltimore's probably running a lot too.
Shough and Chris Olave are still good, and Olave's the one I'll squeeze in when salary allows. He has 18 catches on 23 targets and he's $7,200. Devaughn Vele at $4,400 is the cheap Saint. Ashton Jeanty at $7,100 hasn't scored a rushing touchdown yet. At that price I'd rather have Henry.
Zay Flowers is questionable with the hamstring after a limited walkthrough ([Jamison Hensley, Sept. 25](https://x.com/jamisonhensley/status/2103575840013643794)). His 29 average is one game. Lamar Jackson is $7,500 at 22.4 a game. That's $800 more than Prescott for fewer points. Brock Bowers is questionable and hasn't debuted. Aidan O'Connell is questionable for a personal matter, and Kirk Cousins has thrown every Raiders pass this year anyway.
Defense is the Raiders at $2,600, 12.5 a game. The other three have averaged five or fewer.
Prescott, Lamb, Ferguson, Henry. Good luck at 4:25.
