0:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Good morning friends and enemies.
0:03
[SPEAKER_00]: In today's video, we are going through the entire week aid slate for fantasy football, running back specific and letting you know if you should start, you should sit or you should flex every fantasy relevant running back for this weekend's games, apologize for missing the Monday recap live stream.
0:19
[SPEAKER_00]: My fantasy team did so bad, she made me sick to my stomach.
0:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So sick, I called the flu.
0:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going through, this is a flu video right now.
0:27
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're getting hoodie nick for the remainder of the week.
0:30
[SPEAKER_00]: We do the same thing for wide receivers tomorrow.
0:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So make sure you subscribe to the channel if you are.
0:35
[SPEAKER_00]: new.
0:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get it.
0:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Kick things off with tomorrow's game Carolina at Green Bay.
0:40
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a knife football.
0:41
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in Green Bay.
0:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Green Bay three and a half point favorites in this one.
0:44
[SPEAKER_00]: A 47 and a half point total.
0:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Carolina coming off of really their first down game of the season as an offensive unit.
0:52
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I was kind of talking about how I think Tampa Bay's defense is probably better than expected.
0:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that was the case.
0:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Regardless, it was just a dominant performance.
1:04
[SPEAKER_00]: analyzing here tubas obviously going right back into your lineup until we hear some word of Jonathan Brooks's return and on top of that we still need to see him get any sort of meaningful work for us to even ponder tuba as a non must start guy the other side of the balls a little bit more interesting you have Josh Jacobs who made his return last week obviously had a good fantasy day on the back of catching a bunch of passes wasn't great on the ground not expecting him to be overly efficient because of the offensive line now we do have some injuries that I think
1:31
[SPEAKER_00]: could be relevant here.
1:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only did they lose their starting center, but I believe they lost their backup center last week.
1:37
[SPEAKER_00]: The Green Bay Packers did.
1:38
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously already bad on the offensive line got worse.
1:41
[SPEAKER_00]: The other injury I'm keeping an eye on.
1:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously he's Matthew Goldin who was DMP Monday, DMP Tuesday.
1:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He will probably need to get an eliminated on Wednesday in order to be active for Thursday's game.
1:53
[SPEAKER_00]: if he doesn't end up going out with just imagine they go pretty run heavy in this one regardless you know Josh Jacobs against the Carolina Panthers defense it like should be a mismatch because uh Green Bay will be pretty weak on the interior on their offensive line and you have guys like Derek Brown on the defensive line for the Carolina Panthers
2:15
[SPEAKER_00]: But I just can't stop thinking about what Bucky Irving did to them last week, uh, and it's just not really a tough matchup.
2:21
[SPEAKER_00]: So Josh Jacobs obviously is going into your lineup.
2:24
[SPEAKER_00]: You could argue him into the Mustar category.
2:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously if you've been holding onto him, he's going to be somewhere and you're running back slot there.
2:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Behind him, you know, no one else is really getting work.
2:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously Jonathan Brooks not even playing.
2:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Not sure why I'm putting him in the rankings, but we can move on from there.
2:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, we got Baltimore at Buffalo.
2:38
[SPEAKER_00]: They're playing in Buffalo.
2:39
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a 54 and a half point total.
2:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So it does feel like it is trending towards a Marjax in playing.
2:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Now they're the reports that he is expected to play on Sunday.
2:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I still think it's, I don't think it's a definite yet.
2:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So I still, if you're a Lamar Jackson owner, I would have a backup at quarterback.
2:58
[SPEAKER_00]: regardless in this game, you know, you're playing James Cook, you're playing Derek Henry, Lord knows we need Lamar Jackson back under Center for Derek Henry.
3:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's playing like fucking Eddie Lacy out there when Lamar's not there.
3:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm talking about C Hawks Eddie Lacy.
3:10
[SPEAKER_00]: They're first round pick the interior offensive lineman.
3:13
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember.
3:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I never remember how to say his name.
3:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't even try to use like the 14th overall pick for them this year.
3:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Really, really strong rookie for him.
3:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He got hurt last game, so they're probably going to be without him, but they need
3:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Lamar Jackson out there to really open up lanes for regardless their country again a minus 235 anytime touchdown line is rushing yards is up at 82 and a half 18 and a half rushing attempts similar Rechemes cooks as well.
3:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously you're just playing both of them.
3:39
[SPEAKER_00]: It should be a firework fest out there in Buffalo
3:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, we got Tennessee at Cincinnati.
3:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Pollard coming off of his monster monster three touchdown game last week was the fantasy running back one here.
3:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It is a 46 and a half point total.
3:53
[SPEAKER_00]: The bangles are 10 point favorites in this one.
3:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really care for what Tony Pollard did last week.
3:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't really change my thoughts on him.
4:00
[SPEAKER_00]: What would matter is whether or not Tajaj Spears plays in this game.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Tajaj missed week seven.
4:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not a huge deal because it's not like he's taking a ton of work, but it does just continuously raise the floor.
4:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Tony Pollard in terms of his touch count.
4:12
[SPEAKER_00]: pretty much a guaranteed 18 touches.
4:14
[SPEAKER_00]: If Taj J Spears is out again, you're playing the bangles who were great early on in terms of, you know, defense against the run because of the addition of Dexter Lawrence.
4:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I still think they're not like a really easy defense to run against.
4:25
[SPEAKER_00]: But overall, Paula is definitely a dub flex and you can throw them into your line up and feel okay about it on the flip side.
4:29
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Chase Brown and Samage P Ryan.
4:32
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in this weird split.
4:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So I tweeted this out yesterday about Chase Brown's usage.
4:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only up to this point, but in week seven, right?
4:40
[SPEAKER_00]: It felt like last week was a weird week of Somansia Puran ended up getting the goal line score, but Chase Brown still played on 75% of the snaps.
4:46
[SPEAKER_00]: He ran 60% of the routes, at 60% of the carries, played on 100% of the two-minute drill snaps, which are the valuable snaps.
4:54
[SPEAKER_00]: This offense just goes very, very pass heavy, and the majority of the targets go to Chase and Higgins.
4:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't necessarily blame them.
5:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Chase Brown got in on a play and they got down to the one-yard line and then they took them out in favor of Smosh P-Rine Now I've heard conflicting reports that Chase Brown kind of got like banged up on the play for a second I had to come out and that's why they put P-Rine in but I don't know that that's true Regardless, I know where's his beat in the dead horse here.
5:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I still want to continue to attach guys like Chase Brown who you know are probably not that talented but
5:22
[SPEAKER_00]: The bangles are the fourth highest scoring offense in the NFL.
5:26
[SPEAKER_00]: They're 10 point favorites in this one.
5:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they're going to continue to score a lot of points.
5:29
[SPEAKER_00]: And eventually the touchdown luck is going to merge in favor of Chase Brown.
5:34
[SPEAKER_00]: So for this game, he's going back into my lineup, smash it, P-Rine, you know, still involved.
5:41
[SPEAKER_00]: would not want him in my line if I could help it.
5:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Arizona at Dallas.
5:45
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in Dallas a 54 and a half point total here because both defenses are quite atrocious.
5:50
[SPEAKER_00]: We have Javante Williams.
5:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going into the must start coming off a really big game.
5:54
[SPEAKER_00]: The Cowboys are six and a half point favorites in this one.
5:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Behind Javante, there's nobody but on the Cardinal side of the ball.
6:00
[SPEAKER_00]: This is where things get a little bit tricky because we have Jeremiah love who it does seem to be trending in the direction of him returning after missing two weeks with
6:09
[SPEAKER_00]: still remains a question of how much work he's going to get, how good he's going to look when he's on the field, but the matchup is fantastic.
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: And in his absence, it was pretty much a pure split between Xon of a Knight and Tyler Algear.
6:20
[SPEAKER_00]: And it looked like Xon of a Knight was the better runner.
6:22
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Jeremiah, I love returns this week.
6:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Do I imagine going back to a bell cow roll?
6:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably not, but I do imagine this being some sort of like one a one bish situation Whereas on of a night just goes back to kind of taking a back seat as maybe a dude who sprinkles in for a drive or maybe like a two minute drill or something like that I would hold on to the zone of a night though because I don't think it's a guarantee that Jeremiah loves suits up I think it's more likely than not if he does get a practice in on Wednesday trends in the right direction But I would hold on to the zone of night because the match is obviously
6:52
[SPEAKER_00]: phenomenal against Dallas.
6:53
[SPEAKER_00]: If I have Jeremiah love and he plays against Dallas, he's going to be in my line up.
6:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Neither of the other guys are going to be in my line up.
6:58
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll throw him into the rather not category and move on.
7:02
[SPEAKER_00]: If he doesn't end up playing, then I think Zonovan Knight is probably a dub flex for me.
7:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And as year probably goes into the shaky flex category.
7:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up we got Minnesota at Detroit a 46.5 point total here.
7:14
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in Detroit Detroit is three point favorites You know they're playing in the dome Minnesota's probably the toughest defense to do anything against fantasy wise I'm excited to see what Minnesota actually looks like against a legitimate like
7:28
[SPEAKER_00]: scoring team, you know, and a team that could beat them and probably end their undefeated season here or end their undefeated streak here.
7:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Gibbs obviously goes right into the Mustard category.
7:37
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't have a lot of word on Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason right now because Aaron Jones seems to have aggravated his knee.
7:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So last week, Jordan Mason made his return from, you know, the long IR stint there.
7:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And carried the ball live.
7:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It was obviously a split backfuel between Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason.
7:54
[SPEAKER_00]: in Jones started the game, got the majority of work very, very early on, then they started kind of exploiting drives, and then Aaron Jones ended up re-aggravating the MCL sprain that he aggravated earlier in the season.
8:05
[SPEAKER_00]: It does not seem to be overly serious.
8:07
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not guaranteed that he ends up missing this upcoming game here.
8:11
[SPEAKER_00]: He's listed his day to day, most people that I've listened to that have
8:15
[SPEAKER_00]: That are kind of in the know, consider it probably 51 49 in favor of him missing this upcoming week, and that would obviously mean Jordan Mason becomes the bell cow.
8:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Detroit's like a really, really easy run defense to get things going against, but everything would kind of condense to Jordan Mason.
8:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We have DJ Dallas playing a little bit of a role as maybe like the two-minute drill guy Jordan Mason's obviously not a great pass catching back, but he probably would get 15 to 18 plus carries, you'd get any goal-line work if they got down into that situation.
8:43
[SPEAKER_00]: So overall, I'd label him as a dub flex, I don't.
8:46
[SPEAKER_00]: overly loved the matchup, but the situation would be great.
8:49
[SPEAKER_00]: If Aaron Jones ends up playing, this probably makes both of them a shaky flex.
8:52
[SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to trust either of them right now.
8:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Every time I tweet about Jordan Mason, they're like, oh, he's the guy, he's the guy, he's the guy.
8:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's, it's clear his day, but like it's, it's so not clear.
9:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like the least clear thing I've ever seen.
9:04
[SPEAKER_00]: He were like, oh, he back in week one, like it was clear that they wanted to ride him.
9:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Aaron Jones started in week one.
9:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a 50, 50 split between the two of them.
9:11
[SPEAKER_00]: So when they're both on the field, they clearly want to use both of them.
9:14
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's a chance that they're still in the market for trading for a running back and we'll talk a little bit more about that in the next game, which is Indy at Jacksonville.
9:23
[SPEAKER_00]: They're playing in Jacksonville.
9:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a 46.5 point total here.
9:26
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars are nine and a half point favorites.
9:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, the Colts are kind of on a fire sale right now.
9:31
[SPEAKER_00]: They got rid of the Ford's Buckner.
9:33
[SPEAKER_00]: They got rid of Quentin Nelson.
9:35
[SPEAKER_00]: And it seems like Jonathan Taylor on paper would be next up.
9:38
[SPEAKER_00]: However, there was a report that came out yesterday saying that the front office is not
9:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I really buy that or believe that we have so many instances of coaches or GMs coming out and saying things and then like the next day something else happens.
9:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously if JT gets moved between now and Sunday, it's a different conversation.
9:56
[SPEAKER_00]: For now, even with the fire cell, JT is obviously going to be in your lineup as long as he's playing for the cults, we did see a little bit of like a shortening in the gap between himself and Seth McGowan.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: in week seven, which is likely, you know, it's like maybe he is a trade candidate.
10:12
[SPEAKER_00]: We want to see what the offense would look like with McGowan under it.
10:14
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't want to get Jonathan Taylor overly hurt.
10:17
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like it was a 50, 50 split.
10:18
[SPEAKER_00]: It was still like 70, 30.
10:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Taylor got the majority of touches went for 110 from Skirmidge and a touchdown.
10:23
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like I think that story line's probably going to be way more noisy than it needs to be this week.
10:28
[SPEAKER_00]: The unfortunate part is they play the Jaguar.
10:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, and that's a phenomenal, phenomenal run defense.
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be tough to have a big day regardless.
10:37
[SPEAKER_00]: bad weather as well.
10:38
[SPEAKER_00]: We have some moderate rain 60% chance of rain with winds up to 15 miles per hour, which doesn't really affect the ground game that much.
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: I would actually expect that to probably lead to more carries in rushing work regardless.
10:50
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got JT and Mustard.
10:52
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm not starting Seth McGowan.
10:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say if JT ends up getting moved by Sunday, which you know, who knows.
10:57
[SPEAKER_00]: McGowan becomes interesting.
10:59
[SPEAKER_00]: He probably takes over some sort of workhorse.
11:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I
11:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I would imagine they mix in some other like past catching, passing down back here.
11:06
[SPEAKER_00]: And the matchup is so difficult that, you know, I wouldn't expect much, like I have a team where I have Jordan Mason and Seth McGowan.
11:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I, let's say, JT gets moved and Aaron Jones is out, I would be playing Jordan Mason over Seth McGowan.
11:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd be excited to add McGowan long term because, you know, he'll have a ton of more coarse appeal.
11:27
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's a rookie this year.
11:29
[SPEAKER_00]: He was drafted in the 7th round, but he's 26 years old.
11:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how rookie me 26 years old.
11:34
[SPEAKER_00]: He's 26 years old.
11:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He is 200 and almost 25 pounds, ran a sub 4, 5, 40.
11:40
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's got a really good combination of size and speed.
11:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Whether that translates to being a good NFL running back, I don't know, but it does make him interesting for sure.
11:48
[SPEAKER_00]: He's very clearly like, be handcuffed, the direct handcuff to JT.
11:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is important because there's a lot of situations where you're just projecting who the next guy up would be.
11:56
[SPEAKER_00]: But we know clearly that McGown would be, you know, a 15 to 20 touch.
12:01
[SPEAKER_00]: per game back.
12:02
[SPEAKER_00]: If JT were to get moved, the problem is the offense is so bad.
12:05
[SPEAKER_00]: They just lost their best offensive Lyme and Quentin Nelson in the trade to Seattle.
12:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Then Jones cannot keep an offensive drive going like it's brutal out there in Indy.
12:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, he's like a volume base low end RB2 flex play for you in this matchup.
12:17
[SPEAKER_00]: It would be kind of gross.
12:19
[SPEAKER_00]: On the flip side, you know, you get rid of the Forest Buck near the Colts defense is already atrocious.
12:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one in EPA, Perrush allowed.
12:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Number three in success rate, Perrush allowed.
12:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Eighth most fantasy points to the running back position.
12:29
[SPEAKER_00]: They shall too, and looks phenomenal coming off of the buy at two touchdowns in London before the buy.
12:34
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the clear workhorse, the clear bell cow to me.
12:37
[SPEAKER_00]: He's in the Mustard category in a matchup like this.
12:40
[SPEAKER_00]: Moving to the Raiders at the New York Jets.
12:43
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jets are one and a half point favorites.
12:46
[SPEAKER_00]: At home, a 45 and a half point total here.
12:49
[SPEAKER_00]: We are expecting.
12:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe Breeze Hall to be back for this game is miss the previous three games.
12:54
[SPEAKER_00]: If you miss this game and they didn't put them on the IR be a little bit weird.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess it's a little bit difficult to project that for out coming back from the quad strain.
13:02
[SPEAKER_00]: We
13:03
[SPEAKER_00]: have a weird situation where Braille and Allen is played well enough that there are a lot of people saying it should be a 50 50.
13:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this happens quite often with backup running backs kind of like being good enough that like, oh, when the starter returns, you know, this is going to be a split backfield.
13:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're off in the knot that doesn't happen.
13:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they paid Breeze Hall to be their workhorse there.
13:24
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think if he's healthy enough to play,
13:26
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's 90% I think bris halls is the guy.
13:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Do I think it's going to be an 80% split?
13:31
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I think it'll be Similar to what we've seen when bris halls been on the fields with him at Raylan Allen where it's, you know, 70 and Maybe 30% to Braylan or like 65 bris 30 Braylan five Isaiah Davis
13:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm expecting Bree's all to play.
13:45
[SPEAKER_00]: He got two limited practices in last week, as long as he can get a full practice in this week.
13:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he should be good to go.
13:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Match was pretty good against the Las Vegas Raiders.
13:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna put him into the field's good category.
13:54
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna put Raylon Allen into the shaky flex category.
13:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that, he'll still be involved.
13:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he gets a goal line carrier too and gets in to the end zone, but I think if Bree's is healthy, it's not a pure 50-50 split like some people are, kind of begging for right now.
14:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's the same thing on the flip side with Ash and Gentie who was struggled like crazy on the ground as efficiency is so so bad running the ball, but he's so involved in the passing game.
14:17
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the RB 13 right now in PPR league because of how good he's been through the air.
14:22
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a matchup where he can definitely get into the end zone as well.
14:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, we're not going to rethink this.
14:26
[SPEAKER_00]: He's obviously going to be in our lineup against the jets here.
14:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Mike Washington, unfortunately, just not getting anywhere near enough run to be line up viable.
14:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, we got Cleveland at Pittsburgh.
14:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So there's a 39 and a half point total.
14:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Low scoring game, of course, the Steelers are three and a half point favorites.
14:42
[SPEAKER_00]: They've got a pretty good defense right now.
14:44
[SPEAKER_00]: When John Jenkins coming off of a really, really, really strong game.
14:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, however, I kind of look at him as Tony Pollard.
14:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, he'll have a string of like three or four bad games.
14:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And just because he has a good game mixed in there, does not mean I like.
14:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Raise his floor all the way up or raise the ceiling all the way up.
14:59
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's going to be a dub flex from me a guy that you know is probably going to get 15 plus carries He'll get any the goal and work when they get down there, but he's plus 140 for an anytime touchdown.
15:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't want to over emphasize one good week out of Quint shot.
15:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Judgins.
15:10
[SPEAKER_00]: We also did have the return of Dylan Samson who plays a decent amount of the passing down snaps, but he's not someone I want in my lineup on the flip side.
15:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Jalen Ward continues to eat and I honestly put him in the Mustard category last week.
15:22
[SPEAKER_00]: He will continue to be a Mustard for me as long as he is healthy and then Rico Dattle.
15:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Rico, you know, gets enough work where I think he's like startable for you, but he's going to go into the shaky flex category because I don't like you could do worse than having the second running back on it seem then Rico Dattle for sure.
15:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he'll get eight to ten calories, he'll probably get you around 50 total yards.
15:40
[SPEAKER_00]: He hasn't I don't think he scored a single touchdown this year and he is coming off of a six catch game, which you know.
15:45
[SPEAKER_00]: When you're with Rogers, you always have the help side of catching a bunch of passes out of the backfield, more often than not, I'll probably catch two passes in a game.
15:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So it probably gives you a floor of like six or seven PPR points, but unless you score as a touchdown, you're not going to get much ceiling out of them.
15:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, we've got Atlanta at Tampa Bay, the Tampa Bay Buck and yours are two and a half point favorites, a 45 and a half point.
16:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Total here, Bucky Irving, coming off of a massive game.
16:08
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got 84 total yards as a player prop line two and a half receptions.
16:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Anytime touchdown of minus 130, Falcons run defenses, you know, pretty good had a monster week last week.
16:18
[SPEAKER_00]: They got to add so so quickly and so early and just such a large lead that, you know, he didn't really have to do much in the second quarter to second half.
16:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, he might have put up like 40.
16:29
[SPEAKER_00]: fantasy points last week.
16:31
[SPEAKER_00]: I think at this point, bucky Irving is probably in that jail in war and mold where you're going to get a bunch of touches.
16:36
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a very high weekly ceiling, not always going to come to fruition, but yeah, he's around that range where it's like genty, jail and war and base y'all too in Josh Jacobs.
16:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I think those guys make sense.
16:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So whether or not you want to put in the top of the field's good, or you want to be reactionary and put them in the bottom of the mustard because it last week either way is fine by me, but he'll be probably a pretty solid RB1 and then be John, of course, regardless of the tough matchup he is going into
16:58
[SPEAKER_00]: and there's no one else here that we want to play.
17:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's actually check out the quick weather alerts.
17:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably nothing too serious here.
17:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Moderate rain, nine, ten mile an hour wind.
17:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, nothing too crazy for the runners here in Tampa Bay.
17:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, we got the chargers at the LA Rams.
17:12
[SPEAKER_00]: The chargers coming off of their by week, which was very badly needed.
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe there's a chance they get Joe Alt back.
17:19
[SPEAKER_00]: The Rams are six and a half point favorites here.
17:21
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a 45 and a half point total.
17:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Got both the LA teams playing in their stadium.
17:25
[SPEAKER_00]: Cirens awesome.
17:26
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll continue to get really, really involved in the passing game.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: As Demante Adams misses time here minus 162 score a touchdown.
17:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Underneath him, he got Blake Quorum who's getting a bunch of work as well.
17:36
[SPEAKER_00]: They won't always have the game script that they had last week.
17:37
[SPEAKER_00]: We're both of them can run for 90 plus yards.
17:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I still think Blake Quorum is definitely someone you can have in your lineup.
17:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Though he's kind of in that like Rico Dattle mold.
17:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably a little bit higher than him for me.
17:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't feel great about having him in my flex because you do need the game script to go in his favor in order for him to have any sort of ceiling game for you But you could definitely do worse than him on the flip side.
17:55
[SPEAKER_00]: You could do better than almost every running back in this backfield on the flip side for the chargers We still have an absolute mess in the backfield splitting snaps between Hampton key and Mitchell Cmani Vidal to they try to reset things to get Hampton going again after the buy just didn't seem like there was anything you know pointing in that direction pre-buy that would
18:13
[SPEAKER_00]: make us think that was going to be the case.
18:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll put Hampton, I guess in the dub flex or the uh sorry.
18:18
[SPEAKER_00]: In the shaky flex category, team Mitchell will probably get 35% of the snaps.
18:21
[SPEAKER_00]: You can throw him in the shaky flex category.
18:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess this is a Ram's defense that is down a bunch of players, right?
18:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They lost a bunch of guys to the IR last week.
18:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Kobe Turner, when a forwarder out Miles Garrett, could resume practicing sometimes soon.
18:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Nate Landman was out for this one.
18:35
[SPEAKER_00]: one of their top linebackers so that a lot of injuries on the defensive front will kind of have to keep an eye on practice reports see of landmen and or miles garic can kind of make a return here if all those guys are out again you know maybe we could see a little bit of success on the ground uh forehand them but like obviously if you have any of these guys you are praying not to have to put them into your lineup at this point in the season until you see something.
18:55
[SPEAKER_00]: out of them.
18:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, we've got Kansas City at Denver, Denver, one and a half point underdogs, despite being at home in Mile High.
19:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Say 41 and a half point total.
19:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, Kenneth Walker is going right into the Must-Start category.
19:06
[SPEAKER_00]: The other side of things is a little bit tricky, because we have Jonah Coleman who made his return from his I.R.
19:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Stint off of a high ankle
19:13
[SPEAKER_00]: first game back here and they already have him as the lead back, which I would agree with, during a Coleman 36 and a half rushing RJK Dobbins down to 24 and a half.
19:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Coleman played on 28 snaps last week.
19:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Dobbins just 12.
19:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He outrushed him 9 to 6.
19:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, some more targets was just more involved.
19:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Dobbins did get the one carry inside the five yard line.
19:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's very, very tricky to see or to predict what Sean Payton is going to do in that backfield on a week to week basis.
19:42
[SPEAKER_00]: This is also a very, very tough matchup against the Kansas City run defense.
19:46
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't want to get out of my skis.
19:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Jonah Coleman, I would much prefer to own over JK Dobbins rest of season.
19:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we are slowly in the transition of the changing of the Garjo and Coleman just given them a little bit of juice at JK Dobbins.
19:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Coolie does not have in his bag right now, or is a Harvey took a very, very big screen to the house last week, which is always going to be part of his game.
20:06
[SPEAKER_00]: He's very, very boombuss at this point, but he gets very involved in the passing game.
20:09
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think the only two startable players in this backfield would be Harvey and Coleman at this point.
20:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's fine starting either of them, but I would look at them in the Blake corner Rico doubtal kind of.
20:18
[SPEAKER_00]: atmosphere here in Dobbins, you know, I'd probably put them into the rather not.
20:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up still being like a 30, 35, 40% split in this backfield, but they're just like a much better version of Hampton Keaton Mitchell.
20:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like RJ Harvey over Keaton Mitchell, join a Coleman over a Martin Hampton right now.
20:34
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in the shaky flex category, but they're probably towards the top of it.
20:37
[SPEAKER_00]: If this was a good matchup, I'd have a lot more optimism.
20:40
[SPEAKER_00]: towards what this backfield do it could be.
20:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, we've got New England at Miami.
20:44
[SPEAKER_00]: They are in Miami.
20:46
[SPEAKER_00]: The dolphins are 7.00 docks, 43.5 point total here.
20:50
[SPEAKER_00]: Patriot's run defense has been okay.
20:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of middle of the pack to Ali Gordon is now scored in four straight games.
20:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just not going to overthink it.
20:56
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going right into the feels good category.
20:59
[SPEAKER_00]: You put him in your lineup.
21:00
[SPEAKER_00]: If you have him, he continues to impress jail and right also left their week seven game with I believe a quad injury.
21:06
[SPEAKER_00]: So his status for week eight completely up in the air.
21:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We could again see like a 90% snap share for Ali Gordon.
21:12
[SPEAKER_00]: So the floor is very, very, very high on the flip side for the Patriots.
21:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It kind of feels like a one man shell right now with Ramanjre
21:20
[SPEAKER_00]: getting any sort of valuable touches here.
21:22
[SPEAKER_00]: He's catching passes.
21:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He gets the goal line work.
21:24
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a big receiving touch at the end of the first half last week, which is obviously not predictive, but he's the one you feel the best about and this is a great match against Miami, so I will be putting him into the field's good category.
21:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Trevor and Henderson pretty much unplayable at this point, you know, obviously you can spark a big play at any point, but of course you cannot depend on that core kind again a little bit around too, so it really is the Ramondra show in that backfield.
21:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just make sure that weather report is nothing too serious here.
21:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It is a yellow status.
21:51
[SPEAKER_00]: We have 65% chance of rain there.
21:55
[SPEAKER_00]: No real wins.
21:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So not overly concerning there for running backs next up.
21:58
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Philly at Washington for Sunday night football.
22:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Philly is five and a half point underdogs at Washington a 40 and a half point total really difficult backfield to figure out right now for Philly because we don't have any injury update.
22:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Sakewon came into the game after missing multiple weeks with a hamstring strain.
22:15
[SPEAKER_00]: It seemed like he retweaked it on every run that he had.
22:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what his status is going forward.
22:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He was not used much in the second half.
22:24
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's very, very clearly below 100%.
22:27
[SPEAKER_00]: If he re aggravated it, he's going to miss more time, of course.
22:29
[SPEAKER_00]: He says he's okay.
22:31
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he had a little bit of a back tweak.
22:32
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a great match of on paper against Washington.
22:36
[SPEAKER_00]: But.
22:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Since he's clearly hampered and likely not going to play 100% of the snaps here, you know, we're going to put him into the field's good category.
22:44
[SPEAKER_00]: He's probably going into my line up.
22:46
[SPEAKER_00]: It's obviously a tough start and it's going to be a tough watch to go out there and see him kind of like limping around.
22:50
[SPEAKER_00]: He said he's going to be fine.
22:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're just going to trust him on that.
22:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Behind him, Damien Pierce ended up getting hurt in this one.
22:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So Elijah Mitchell blast from the past came in and got a little bit of work here.
22:59
[SPEAKER_00]: So Sikwan ends up missing time and it's literally just Elijah Mitchell back there.
23:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what else they could do because you have will ship me out.
23:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Damien Pierce with this time.
23:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Sikwan Parkly is out like might be the Elijah Mitchell show.
23:10
[SPEAKER_00]: He used to be kind of explosive like seven years ago.
23:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Good.
23:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Loki be a good time against Washington.
23:15
[SPEAKER_00]: And on the other side, we have a shot white.
23:17
[SPEAKER_00]: who should be basically assuming a workhorse role because you have Jacore Croskey Merett on the IR.
23:21
[SPEAKER_00]: They're coming off of a buy, but in their weeks examigan San Francisco, Rashad White basically operated as a bell cow.
23:27
[SPEAKER_00]: He was playing on the early downs, the third downs, long down a distance, and all of the two and four-minute drill snaps.
23:35
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing he didn't get was the carry inside the five, which Jeremy McNickle's got.
23:40
[SPEAKER_00]: But other than that, it was all Rashad White playing around 75 to 80% of the snap.
23:44
[SPEAKER_00]: So this is a Philadelphia defense that really does not have to be feared right now.
23:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And Jayden Daniels, you know, you have no terrible clearance, so they're down weapons.
23:51
[SPEAKER_00]: And I do think Rashad White is a pretty pretty good start.
23:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to put him into the dub flex category and he feels, you know, good enough that I would put him relatively high up in it, because I think his role is going to be really, really juicy.
24:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll catch a decent amount of dump offs.
24:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we got Monday night football, Chicago at Seattle.
24:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Seattle, three point favorites here, 46 and a half point total here.
24:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're expecting char back, but like we were also expecting him back last week, and I don't know that we've seen any like glowing reports that say that he is a short thing to be suited up for week eight.
24:20
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there is a port I think from rap reports and he's expected to play week eight, but I'm pretty sure that exact same report came out in week seven.
24:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously if he's not playing a manual Wilson once again feels good.
24:30
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a good player but a good matchup and he just scores fantasy points because he gets so many touches and this is an offense that like JSN takes them all the way down the field So you're probably gonna be in the red zone enough times and Brian Flurry sucks at playing calling so he'll just give him annuals and five carries inside the five yard line if sharp does play
24:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know that I could play anyone in this back field.
24:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how this split is going to work out.
24:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I just can't imagine they give him a ton of work out the gate.
24:56
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'd imagine it's some sort of either drive by drive split or Sharb is in a third-down role in manuals and gets the early downs or vice versa.
25:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Where Sharb gets the early downs and then, like, George Hlawney's playing the passing work.
25:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So like, if Sharb is active, he'd be in the shaky flex category for me.
25:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Not excited whatsoever to play him.
25:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Is any time touch online at minus 140?
25:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Quite spicy there.
25:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So they obviously assume him to be the goal line back and I think you know that makes a little bit of sense He was that guy last year and then I'm obviously not playing a manuals in a George Lani if he is active on the flip side We have the under swift column of Nungai, Rochon Johnson.
25:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously no Rochon Johnson Not in our line-ups regardless of monungai status This is an extremely tough matchup of course against Seattle here one of the best run defenses in the NFL that being said I still don't know the status of column of Nungai
25:45
[SPEAKER_00]: he's missed the last couple games with a turf toe injury now there was a tweet that said uh... out on the practice field yesterday for chicago there was no sign of common and however this is a Monday night game so there's no actual official practice for the bears until Thursday so we won't actually know what his status is for practicing until after tomorrow's practice so it was day like fake practice report i'm not going to look too much into i will say we haven't seen my guy on the practice field whatsoever hasn't got a limited
26:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So I still think it's a very, very 50, 50 type of chance that he suits up for this one on Monday.
26:19
[SPEAKER_00]: He does get the extra day of rest, but regardless, if Swift is in the backfield by himself, yet, it ridiculously hard matchup, but he's going to get so much work.
26:28
[SPEAKER_00]: The Chicago Bears Offences, you know, maybe they have trouble moving them all, but they just look so good with, uh,
26:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Caleb Williams under center.
26:34
[SPEAKER_00]: They're averaging like 40 points a game.
26:36
[SPEAKER_00]: So they'll get enough volume to offset any concerns there If monon guy does play, I probably move swift down to the feels good category just because the matchup is so tough And now you probably do actually have to project a siphon off, you know eight to ten touches with common on guy in the mix But monon guy is definitely not a dude that I'm looking to put into my lineup right away off of the turf toe injury in this type of matchup
26:56
[SPEAKER_00]: One other thing I should include from the Seattle side of things, they obviously just traded four Quentin Nelson, which is a massive upgrade to their interior offensive line.
27:03
[SPEAKER_00]: They did just lose Charles Cross.
27:05
[SPEAKER_00]: They're starting tackle last week to a high ankle sprain.
27:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's gonna miss sometimes.
27:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of like subtract cross, adding Quentin Nelson.
27:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Nelson still beast.
27:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Gonna be great for the run game.
27:14
[SPEAKER_00]: And the past game, once the line is fully healthy, of course.
27:17
[SPEAKER_00]: So upgrade overall to the running backs in the room, just still obviously hard to project what the splits going to be in Sharps first.
27:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Game back here.
27:25
[SPEAKER_00]: That is the full running back ranking video for you.
27:29
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll go into poster modes.
27:30
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys can see this.
27:31
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got 13 Must-Starts.
27:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, if you guys have these guys on your team, they're probably going to be Must-Starts for any way.
27:37
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're probably closer to like 15 or 16 actual RB ones on the week.
27:41
[SPEAKER_00]: But we've got seven feels good.
27:43
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got six delflexes, 11 shaky flexors.
27:46
[SPEAKER_00]: and eight rather knots.
27:48
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want the actual order and listing of all these guys plus the flex plays, receivers, et cetera, those are available in the rankings, which are live by the time you guys watch this.
