This is 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:30.000 the BFFs. He is Frank Staffel. I am Greg Susman. Frank. 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.880 What's happening? But Greg, Happy Tuesday to you. Fun game 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.600 last night, fun game ish between the Chargers and the Chiefs. 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.280 Of course, if you are not a Chargers fan or 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.000 a Philip Rivers fantasy owner, then it was a pretty 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.280 good night for you. Greg. How did you sleep? I 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.640 slept fantastic. You know what I lied? You slept terribly, 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.120 But I want to say I slept fantastically because of 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.760 the game and in general, Like you don't seem to remember, 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.960 Frank our conversation yes year, what was that? Remind you? 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.280 Please remind me. So I was basically tied going into 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:08.720 last night's game. Yes, I was playing Patrick Mahomes and 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:13.799 I had Tyreek Hill and Austin Ekeler, and I gave 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.760 you the news that you didn't want to hear. You said, 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.000 who's gonna win? I said, probably the MA home side. 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.600 But you had a little bit of an unfortunate event 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.760 happened last night. So Tyreek Hill gets hurt immediately, Yes, 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.840 he does immediately, and I'm like, oh my god, I 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:35.240 needed a win, man, I needed a win. So six receptions, 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.520 ninety five yards receiving the first half of Louston Nightler, 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:45.160 I feel pretty good. Like Mos hasn't done anything, I 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.160 feel pretty good. I got a good shot at this 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.160 Moms in a really good second half. Frank not really good. Actually, 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:53.880 at least amount of passing yards he's ever had in 0:02:53.960 --> 0:03:00.600 his life. It was called touchdowns cos Kelsey because I 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.960 was the only one through one touchdown Kelsey. So going 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:07.600 into his last drive and Austin Ekeler does nothing in 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:12.080 the second half, right, nothing, absolutely nothing. So going into 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.760 that last drive. I'm up four points at that moment, 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.160 and I'm like, oh my god. Basically he needs a 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.160 touchdown in order to beat me, is what I'm thinking. Okay, fine, 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.280 and they just I want to just run the clock out. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:30.040 Tick tack tick tick tick tick. Of course, on a 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.000 third down he rushes for sixteen yards and I'm like, 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:37.760 oh my god, oh greggy. So now i am up 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:44.440 one point nine points and it's third down and he 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.760 gets sacked or stacked frost or whatever. They don't complete it. 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.760 All right, I'm up one point nine points. Let's go 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.000 figuring we'll get the Eckler dump Boss on this last drive. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.160 So now all I want. I don't care about the 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.080 Eckler dump Boss, be honest, know the game man, Because 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.360 the Chiefs got the ball back wheels, big bang, boom, 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:09.880 ticktck deck to deck, So then of course you get 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:14.400 the long heave down the field complete. It's a freaking 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:18.479 the only past Philip Rivers completed all night. They say 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.960 he was out of balance. He wasn't. The clock stops, 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.440 no take deck, clock just stopped. And I saw betting 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.159 Twitter going nuts over this, and rightfully, so the clock stopped. 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.560 You shouldn't have stopped. It shouldn't have So Eckler catches 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:36.200 the past. Fine, I'm still up. Let's say around four now, 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.640 and I'm just like, here's gonna happen. You know what's 0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:44.600 gonna happen. Georges are gonna score a touchdown, They're gonna 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:48.880 tie the game. Homes go go win the game. This 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.880 is it. This is how I lose. And then Philip 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.080 Rivers throws the interception? Why because he always does? Why 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.320 because he is a loser, always has been a loser 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.560 in fact, little harsh is it? What does he want 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.240 in his career? Nothing, that's the correct answer. Maybe some 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:09.320 fantasy championships. You know, he is the third most wins 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.800 all time. You never even reach the Super Bowl, Fran 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:18.440 targeting Danna Marino have more. They reached super bowls, Lipser, Sure, yeah, 0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.880 and he does what he always does. They lost, which 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:25.680 caused me so win. So I went to sleep feeling great, 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.880 and yet I couldn't really sleep very well. I don't 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.120 know why I'm feeling awesome. This is not the turn 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.760 that I thought this story was gonna. Wait A I 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.920 won based on your tone the entire time, Like well, 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:41.599 Greg lost for sure, Patrick Mahomes career high fifty nine rushing. Alright, 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.960 so congrats Greg Man. So why didn't you Why didn't 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.720 you sleep? Well? I don't know all that. At least 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.760 you won, did I felt great? Maybe you were so 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:52.760 pumped about the wind you just couldn't sleep. You know what, 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.080 I was falling asleep. It's my own fault. I was 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.920 falling asleep, and then like I thought, it was a 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.320 ridiculous thing, but my dry cleaning. I wanted to make 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.200 sure I had my dry cleanings. Gotta wear sports scoot tomorrow. 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.800 As you know, we have to wear sports. I'm one 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:06.840 of those we so I have to wear one or 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:08.280 bring one. I'm gonna wear it all day, but I 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.680 have to bring one. So I was like, hey, Judy, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:12.760 the dry cleaning here, and then she's like yeah, and 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.799 then we were I was awake because like I was thinking, 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:16.080 and I was like that was that? Like I could 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:20.200 go back to sleep. The story all right, that's the 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:21.400 end of your story, Greg. I do want to talk 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.640 about this game a little bit from a fantashy perspective. 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.880 I didn't tell you a fantasy perspect what happened to 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.520 the Chargers running game? Greg what are we doing. I 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.040 understand that there is an interim OC calling place here. 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:36.080 Shane Stiken for the Los Angeles Chargers, they threw Ken 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.080 wizzen Hunt out because you know he was the scapegoat. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.000 He's the reason why the Charges keep losing games. No, 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.200 it's probably Philip Rivers, like you said, but Melvin Gordon 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.640 four rushes for sixty nine yards nice, four point nine 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.400 yards per carry, Austin Ekeler five rushes for twenty four 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.880 yards four eight yards per carry. The way to attack 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.440 the Chiefs is on the ground. Why did they get 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.640 away from that in the second half? It just doesn't 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.560 make any sense to me. Greg, Like, even if you 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.640 fall behind, you're only down by a touchdown late in 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:08.279 this game. You know, why are you abandoning the run? 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.960 And I understand you know everyone wants to throw the 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.080 ball now right. You know that that makes your offense 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.960 more efficient throwing the ball. That's fine, Maybe not when 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:19.960 Philip Rivers is your quarterback. I mean, he has seven 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.200 interceptions over his last two games, and the chief Secondary 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.280 to their credit, to Steve Spagnolo's credit, Greig has played 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.240 really well this year. So the way to attack his 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.200 defense is run. The ball. I don't understand what happened 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.960 last night again. I mean, this has been fantasy football 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.480 all season long. It's like stranger things, the upside down. 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:37.920 We have a great matchup here for Melvin Gordon, couldn't 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.920 really take advantage. Austin Nickeler ends up having a great game, 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.360 obviously because of the eight receptions. But I feel like 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.520 Melvin Gordon owners felt like they should have had a 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.880 bigger game than this, and they really should have Greg. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:49.440 When we come back, well, we'll talk a little bit 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.200 about the Chief's running backs, and I think that will 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:54.000 kind of lead us into our waiver wire discussion because 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:58.120 of course, something else happened there. Tom McCoy active bumble, 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.440 Damian Williams hurt. Here we go, Chief's running backs all 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.360 over again. Say with the Chiefs wide receivers will come back. 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.920 I'll give you an update on Tyreek Hill. I'll tell 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:14.840 you what's going on there.

But on the Channelschnel five sevent 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:31.840 Jean Pluto and remember Frank as always you on the edge. 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.440 Last night, I wanted the edge. I was on the grid, 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.640 and the entiree Hill got hurt corn E. According to you, 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.360 Mike Cara Polo, excuse me, oh, the NFL network, Tyree 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.360 Hill is going to have an m R i uh 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.120 in the next day or so. They got back Mexico late. 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.440 They're all sleeping now and we'll figure out how bad 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.800 that hamstring injury is. So basically, um, no actual news 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:01.120 from Carafellow. Yeah. And according to Inside Injuries, who we 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.320 have on the program every Thursday, the good people over 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.040 at Inside Injuries had this to say regarding Tyreek Hill 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.040 that he left last night with the hamstring strain and 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.679 wasn't able to return. We knew that he suffered a 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.320 groin strain last season and a hamstring strain back in tween, 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.480 so he does have a history of lower body soft 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.160 tissue injuries, so keep that in mind. You know, this 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.360 might not be something that he just returns from after 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.040 the bye. They do have a bye heading into week 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.760 twelve right now. And after he left, I mean, the 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.480 targets were basically all spread out, Greg. It was ten 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.640 targets to Travis Kelsey, who led the team six targets 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.640 to Lashaw McCoy who also kind of got banged up, 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.880 slash fumbled and I think they just kind of benched 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.440 him late in this game. And then Sammy Watkins three targets, McCole, 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.959 Hardman four targets, Darryl Williams three targets. We've seen this 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.920 before earlier on in the season, that when Tyreek Hill 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.160 was out, when Sammy Watkins was out, it was really 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.280 Travis Kelsey, and then they would just spread the ball 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.040 around to a bunch of different receivers. And if Tyreek 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.040 Hill were him his time, I have a feeling that 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.040 would be the case again, Greg, it would be a 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.480 few targets here for Hardman, a few targets here from 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.679 Robinson to Marcus Robinson, Iron Pringle probably in the mix. 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.920 Sammy Watkins stinks. I'm done with Sammy Watkins, man. I 0:11:08.000 --> 0:11:11.679 mean this guy since Week one, the Fantasy points that 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.319 he has amassed over that span does not equal the 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.960 amount of Fantasy points he had in Week one. How 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.839 ridiculous is that. I understand it was a big Week one, 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.240 but he hasn't even a massed. Everything that he's done 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:26.480 in that span since has not been higher than what 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.680 he did in week one. So look at the targets 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.199 are just not there for him right now. They spread 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:32.839 the ball around in this offense. If you want to 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.080 take a shot on somebody, I would take that shot 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.960 on Micole Hardman because he has that game breaking ability 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.199 where he could take one catch to the house and 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.360 that basically makes his entire fantasy. So I think to 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.320 Marcus Robinson is the guy that's going to be out 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:46.040 on the field of most we sow in Syree Hill 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.520 was out. Robinson played almost every snap for the Chiefs. 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.040 Harmon's obviously the big play threat. If you want the 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.640 boom er bust guy, it's Hardman. Obviously they'll give him 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.000 few opportunities per game. If you want the guy that's 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.320 gonna be on the field more, which I understand that too, 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.360 it's Robin See. I don't really know where Pringle fits 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:03.640 in um and that's the wide receivers. When comes to 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.880 the running backs, as you mentioned, going to break Lashawn 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:08.640 McCoy was active last night, and Andy Reid was pretty 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.400 steadfast and saying, hey, we want to give his legs 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.440 a break, whether it's sure or not. He had both 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.959 a mental and physical break last week. McCoy is back 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.319 on the field. Damian Williams left this one early with it. 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.439 It seemed to be a rib injury. McCoy scores touchdown. 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:22.880 Looks awesome on that touchdown. Around looked pretty good overall. 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.600 Gets the Chargers last night before he left the game 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.920 with a possible concussion. Next man up was Darryl Williams. 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.199 Looks fine. The Chiefs, as we said with Tyreek Hill, 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.480 have a bye coming up this week, which makes everything 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.439 a bit convoluted for us when the running game and 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.679 with the receiving game with Tyree Hill. I don't I 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.840 hope that the one week off will allow McCoy if 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.800 he isn't ancouture protocols you get out of it. I 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.640 don't know how serious the rib injury is. We have 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.880 seen players play through it wearing a flapjacket. So the 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:55.480 Chiefs running game as it has been for much of 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.240 the season, Frank is a mess. Yeah, and it will 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.079 continue to be a mess. I don't really see you 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.640 why this would change, you know, Damian Williams has the 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.160 week off to get his body right. We'll see if 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.120 that's the case. Same thing with Leshawn McCoy. They basically 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.640 all split snaps. Last night, Darry Williams led this team 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.080 with twenty nine snaps. He led the team with eleven 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.880 carries as well, he had three targets. But they're mixing 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.240 in all three of these guys. It's just it's a headache. 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.760 You know, you want a part of this Chiefs backfield 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.040 because the offense is as great as it is obviously 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.400 in Kansas City, but you know, it's a three headed 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.199 committee and on any given week, you don't really know 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.640 who's going to lead this team in touches. The past 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.080 couple of weeks it was Damian Williams, and we finally 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.760 thought that, you know, we were getting that Damian Williams 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.440 that we drafted back in you know, July and August. 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.240 You know, the guy that was going in the first 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:44.040 three rounds where he was playing over seventy of the 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.000 snaps and he was seeing close to twenty touches per game. 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:50.400 Like that would be a huge commodity for fantasy football 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:54.520 because again, uh, the offense that is generated in Kansas City, 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.560 but ultimately it's going to continue to be a mess. 0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:00.040 Lashaw McCoy fifty percent owned in Yahoo Leagues, dar of 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.760 Williams just five percent owned, So if you do want 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.959 to cover yourself, you know, darry Williams is available in 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.240 a lot of leads, Greg, but there's a few other 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.559 running backs that we're gonna talk about today that I 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.240 think we'd rather own than Darryl Williams. Well, it's interesting because, 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.360 as we said, it's a mess in Kansas City, right, 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.160 it's a bit dirty, it's it's hard to figure out. 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.960 That's kind of how I feel about Indianapolis this Thursday. 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.560 They play on the short week. We know for a 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.760 fact that Marlon Mack has broken his hand. I don't 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.280 imagine he plays on Thursday. Will the practice report come 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:33.120 up a little bit? But Jordan Wilkinson spent on an 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.840 ankle injury, he sees his playing time available. Was, yeah, 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:39.880 I'm good, I'll play. You know how good Jonathan Williams 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.960 look talks about it yesterday on the show. He's gonna play. 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.560 You know. When it comes to the passing down back, 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:50.560 well that's nahem hines. He's going to play. As effective 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.840 as the running game wasn't always is with Indianapolis. You 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.400 do wonder what happens in the case of a shootout 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.520 the game against Jacksonville was a blowout. They lean on 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.240 the running game as they want to do this Thursday 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.680 against Houston. I don't expect it to be as much 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.520 of a boy. It could be a back and forth game, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:11.000 which could mean more time for Nahem Hines. All of 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.440 these guys, Frank are out on the waiver wire right now. 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.480 What do we do as of now? I'm still looking 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.920 at Jonathan Williams. I think he proved himself last week 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.000 and proved himself to the coaching staff that they can 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.160 actually lean on him if they need to. Now, Jordan 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.360 Wilkins does throw aid wrench and things. He didn't play 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.480 this past week because of an ankle injury. He's trying 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:32.080 to get out there for Thursday night football. They're on 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.960 the short week heading into Week twelve. But Jonathan Williams 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.160 led this team with forty percent of the snaps. He 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.440 had thirteen carries, he had one reception on only one target, 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.960 a hundred and forty seven total yards, so he basically 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.080 picked up right where Marlon Mack left off. And he 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.280 also had four red zone carries, so they they proved 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.440 that they trust Jonathan Williams in that area of the 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.400 field as well. I do agree that, you know, if 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.680 Jordan Wilkins, will Wilkins is active for this game, Greg, 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:02.240 I mean that really, really, you know, messes things up 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:06.360 here from from the Colts running back perspective, because you know, 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:08.480 we could see both of those guys, Jonathan Williams and 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.480 Wilkins mixed in on early downs and heading into this game. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.000 The way to attack the Texans defense is actually with 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.640 pass catching running backs. We just saw mark Ingram with 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.160 two receiving touchdowns last week, and Houston is allowing seven 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.880 point six receptions per game to opposing running backs. That 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.640 is the most in the NFL. So I think all 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.280 three of these guys are in play. If I had 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.440 to rank them, I would still put it Jonathan Williams first, 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.160 put nihem Heinz second, and I would put it Jordan 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:33.960 Wilkins third, just because we don't know what's going to 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.280 happen with Jordan will opportunities this year. I know last 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.320 year he didn't like this year, he's he's looked pretty good, 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:41.680 but he never looked as good as Jonathan Williams did 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.200 last week. No hundred and forty seven total yards. I mean, 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.760 that's a really good game against a you know a 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.360 Jaguars defense that has struggled against the run at times 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.880 this year. But yeah, this is a messy situation. Look, 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.640 if we're talking about running backs, you know we're gonna 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.480 get it to bow Scarborough obviously because he's awesome and 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.200 he also has an awesome name. But I think you know, 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:03.040 if you need a running back, I think both Scarboro 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.360 is probably the number one waiver wire add this week. 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.360 But if we're just talking about the Colts, I'm gonna 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.280 rank it Williams, Hines and Jordan Wilkins for me, but 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:13.960 especially if you're in PPR leagues, you know you might 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:15.600 even want to put Niheam Hines at the top of 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.840 that list because that is the way to attack this Texans. 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.320 Like I said in a game that I expect to 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:21.800 me be a bit more back and forth. I think 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.320 you're gonna see a lot of Niheme Hines out there. 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:29.399 I agree with you, probably um on the order. For me, 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:33.440 Jonathan Williams proved too much. But the reason I don't 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.680 have as my top back off the board this week, 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.800 and I'm gonna go with boscarbro we were talking about 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:41.600 after the break, because it doesn't seem like it's it's 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.359 bow right, Like, what was the guy at fourteen carries? 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.280 We've never been burned by Lions running backs before at 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.760 fourteen carries Jeff Justrisco had like eight himself, and after 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.760 that leaves JD because he had three. Like that's a 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:58.159 pretty large discrepancy here with the Colts. There's a lot 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.239 of names that have had success in the past. As 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:01.760 much as we like we wanted to rely on Ti 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.840 Johnson and j dmcisic that really had success in the 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.479 past running the football. We have seen the Colts um 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:10.600 utilize a committee before, and at least there's some information 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:12.240 there before we hit the break rank. How would you 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.360 spending on these guys Colts guys, I'm not gonna spend 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.480 a ton because I do think that Marlon Max probably 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.080 gonna be back sooner rather than later. I'm probably looking 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.120 at under ten percent of my fab budget for all 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.320 of these guys. But if you still have money left, 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.080 you might as well spend it. You were coming up 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.160 on the fantasy football playoffs, now great? If not now, 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:31.119 when we take a break here, we'll come back and 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:38.040 we'll get to know boo ast.

We talked a lot 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:51.680 about the cold situation. You strot a great tweets before 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:53.399 we want to the Lions. I think you should live 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:56.520 everybody now. Yeah. So I saw a conversation between a 0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:02.280 fantasy enthusiast and a cold to beat writer and they asked, 0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.480 you know, how they think the breakdown of this Colts 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.080 backfield would look on Thursday night if Jordan Wilkins is active, 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.560 and said person had this to say, fifty percent of 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:14.320 the workload for Jordan Wilkins, twenty five percent for Jonathan 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:18.040 Williams for nine Hinds. Of course that is just an 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:23.320 educated guess. Nobody knows for sure, but I my my 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.320 thinking is, look, Jordan Wilkins has been around the team 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:29.320 the most all season long. He was inactive last week, 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.359 But if he's good to go on Thursday night football, 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:33.200 that they might lean on him a little bit more. 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:35.680 I don't think anybody knows for sure, but for what 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.040 it's worth, that's what this Colt speed writer had to say. 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:42.760 So a k A disaster in Indianapolis. Yeah, and going 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:44.879 up against the Houston Texans who for most of the season, 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.199 we're really good against the run, and then they ran 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:52.000 into the Baltimore Ravens who rush for six yards. Really 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:53.840 good at running, Yes they are. Let me move on 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:56.320 to a team that hasn't really been really good at running, 0:20:56.440 --> 0:21:01.480 but now they believe it's the Detroit Lions. End bow Scarborough. 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:04.400 He is my number one out of the waiver wire 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:08.479
