Video: Why Did He Make This Play In DFS?
How do you play Amon-Ra over CMC? Why'd you do that for?... Amon-Ra got 11 You're telling me I get 22 targets out of Amon-Ra... CMC had like seven or eight targets and he was gone half the game, bro.

STACKED’s take

Egregious play over CMC despite 22 targets; inferior ceiling.

Playing Amon-Ra St. Brown over Christian McCaffrey was an egregious DFS decision. Despite receiving 22 targets and scoring 11 points, Amon-Ra was far inferior to CMC, who had only 7-8 targets but scored 14 points on the first drive alone with massive ceiling potential. Mattek drew a hard line at this 1v1 comparison, calling it 'egregious' and stating 'There's no way that's good.' Mattek tried to avoid playing Amon-Ra but found no viable alternative receiver for the slate, forcing him to include St. Brown in his winning lineup despite preference to fade him. He later swapped away from Amon-Ra to Puka Nacua as part of a strategy adjustment.
