00:02 - Let's start with CD Lamb.

00:05 10,000 on Fandul.

00:08 When's the last time a receiver commanded that number?

00:11 9,300 on DK, start there.

00:13 - It's not as long ago as you think.

00:16 I mean, Justin Jefferson in his, you know, healthy times.

00:20 He could get up there.

00:22 I remember the past years of Antonio Brown

00:26 before Antonio Brown became Antonio Brown

00:28 when he was just Antonio Brown, the wide receiver.

00:31 He had some pretty high price tags that were up there too,

00:33 and he would deliver.

00:34 And that's the thing.

00:35 It's like, you're paying this premium productivity

00:36 for the best wide receiver on the planet.

00:38 A guy coming off a 227 yard receiving game,

00:41 you're paying a premium for recency bias.

00:44 But he's had a touchdown in every single game since week 10.

00:49 Just wanna put that out there.

00:50 It's week 18, every single game he's had a touchdown.

00:54 So in terms of, you know, getting it right,

00:56 he is the wide receiver one on the year.

00:57 He's got 1600 receiving yards on the season.

01:00 He's got 12 receiving touchdowns this year.

01:03 I mean, the guy's just been unbelievable.

01:04 But what also is unbelievable is the price tag.

01:07 And it is large when it comes to CV Lamb today.

01:11 And it's tough to get in there.

01:12 Now, again, we talk about some of the guys

01:14 that you can pivot to.

01:15 We talked about Pierre Strong, right?

01:16 We talked about some others, Amir White, right?

01:18 There's places where you can start to find some latitude

01:22 with the budget, but you're probably gonna have to go down

01:24 to the Trod Taylor as a quarterback, right?

01:26 Which is okay, that's not a bad idea.

01:28 The other thing you have to ask yourself too

01:30 is when you look at the splits here, this is a road game.

01:33 And this offense has not been the same on the road

01:35 as it has been at home.

01:36 Yes, they've still been good at times,

01:38 but they haven't been quite the dominant turf show

01:42 that they have been when you get them out there in space.

01:44 The Washington Commanders, we know are kind of a team

01:46 that probably is gonna have some more changes ahead of them.

01:49 Probably a team that is looking to the off season,

01:53 not so much this game potentially,

01:55 but it is also an indivision game.

01:56 So you just never know when the commanders show up

01:58 'cause they've shown up twice against the Eagles.

02:00 So it's really hard to gauge this squad.

02:03 He is a very good investment in terms of productivity.

02:07 In terms of price, he is a difficult one.

02:10 He's at the top of the board for a reason,

02:11 but this price is really baked into how good

02:13 he was last week.

02:14 So is he gonna have another 30 point day?

02:16 It's asking a lot because some of the other good days

02:19 you're looking at 22 points, 26 points,

02:21 that's not really three X value for a wide receiver or 10K.

02:24 So it is a lot.

02:25 It's probably too much for me.

02:27 And especially when you're considering the situation

02:29 on the road, I think that's another factor.

02:31 And the last time we faced the commanders,

02:33 four catches for 53 yards and a touchdown,

02:35 that's a good day, that's 15 half PPR points.

02:37 That's not 10K return on value.

02:39 And I'm not saying we're gonna copy and paste.

02:41 And I'm not saying that it's not week 18

02:43 and the commanders aren't gonna potentially quit

02:45 and not wanna guard C.D. Lamb,

02:47 but you're really threading the needle with 10K.

02:49 Where C.D. Lamb has to be pretty much the guy

02:51 he was last week.

02:52 And I just don't know if that's in the cards.

02:54 I think that's asking a lot.
