Video transcript
Geoff Ulrich:
You could go with Mike Williams as captain and come back with a completely cheap stack. Mike Williams leaving (could) lead you to a ton of different scenarios. Maybe Justin Herbert throws 300 yards, but maybe he also throws three picks.
Williams to captain is intriguing for a ton of different reasons. This gives you more flexibility. Obviously, you can play the Chargers stack with him. I think that’s what most people do.
Jeff Pratt:
I’m going with Patrick Mahomes, then I’m comfortable stacking him (Travis) Kelce and rolling out the rest of my lineup with cheaper options. I just think Mahomes gives you the best edge of any player on this list and the price isn’t too crazy at the captain.
Geoff’s Pick: Mike Williams ($13,500)
Jeff’s Pick: Patrick Mahomes ($17,700)
