Welcome to The Afternoon Drive, where the sports staff of the Times Free Press will give you a dose of (random) sports-related information that will hopefully get you thinking about more than just what’s for dinner. This information will be packed into an online list form each weekday, but the opinions do not necessarily reflect the views of the staff as a whole.
Today’s list
Most Fridays on the Afternoon Drive will be dedicated to fantasy sports, including this one, where fantasy football junkie Lindsey Young throws out an NFL Conference Championship Sunday lineup using DraftKings prices (50,000 cap). Enjoy, but, as always, this is for entertainment purposes only.
QB: Jared Goff, Lions (6,300)
He’s the cheapest of the four starting quarterbacks, and while he might not get as many fantasy points as the other three options, using Goff allows this lineup to be a little deeper. Also, if the Lions are behind as expected for the most of the game, Goff will take to the air. Often.
