From the video

I think Herbert was like I would say he was the want play and he was the one that was in blended optimal.

Top DFS option despite concerns over career success and age

Justin Herbert was a top DFS 'want play' appearing in blended optimal lineups across multiple models (Run the Sims, ETR, Cardi, Saber); Mattek preferred him over Jared Goff but avoided him due to salary constraints. Conversely, Mattek expressed frustration with Herbert's career trajectory, citing his age (28) and lack of playoff success.
