00:03 - Let's move on to the tight ends here,
00:05 keeping with actually that same game here.
00:06 Tight end 12 is Logan Thomas, Washington Giants.
00:09 Tight end 13 is David Njoku against Pittsburgh.
00:12 And I think it's curious
00:13 because talking about the quarterback play,
00:14 talking about outlets, talking about valve releases
00:17 and protection with the offensive line,
00:19 Njoku could really be in play here,
00:21 but I wanna hear from you, Thomas or Njoku, Joe.
00:23 - Yeah, Njoku is very tempting here
00:27 because typically you see the rookies
00:29 always look for tight ends, right?
00:31 So Dorian Thompson Robinson,
00:32 if he's gonna throw the football today,
00:34 tight end would be one of those spots
00:35 where you feel pretty good about.
00:37 So Njoku, I think is startable.
00:39 So let me just say, if you have him
00:40 and he's your best option,
00:41 'cause taste of hills on a buy,
00:43 or you just didn't have anybody else to start
00:45 that you liked.
00:46 I think if you get by with Njoku, I think he's interesting.
00:48 The problem is how much of that pass volume is gonna be?
00:50 How many times are they gonna let DTR throw the football?
00:53 Probably a lot of Jerome Ford in that game too,
00:55 I would imagine.
00:55 So I'll have to lean towards Logan Thomas
00:58 and just hope that I get a volume day.
01:00 What is a volume day for Logan Thomas?
01:01 It's something like, five catches for 45 yards,
01:06 and maybe he can get you close to double digits.
01:08 If you throw in that touchdown, you're dancing a jig.
01:11 You're so excited that you've get the touchdown too.
01:13 But I think in PPR leagues, you take Logan Thomas,
01:15 you try to get the points and get out of there
01:17 because it could be a zero spot for Njoku.
01:19 And I don't think that's on the slate for Thomas.
01:22 And I think even though Njoku could have
01:23 a more touchdown equity potentially in this game,
01:25 Thomas is probably the safer PPR play.
