Rank you? 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.840 What's up? Man? Week one? Officially in the books, we 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.560 had some pretty good games last night. Honestly, the first 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.720 game was awesome. I would say it's probably the game 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:05.600 of the week, just driving up and down the field 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.760 with Shawn Watson and Drew Brees. Will recap those games 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.200 a little bit here in the first segment. The second 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.640 game not nearly as exciting, but I think we all 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:17.640 expected that. But still a lot of fantasy football takeaways. Nonetheless, Greggy, 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.799 how did you sleep last night? I slept well, man, 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.840 I slept really, really well. It was good to wake 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.880 up this morning. How did you stay up? I'm gonna 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:28.840 guess you you watched none? No, no, no, that's centrue. 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.880 You watched the first quarter of the Raiders Broncos and 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.600 went to bed the first half alright, I wasn't far off, 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:35.840 was the first half? Once let's got your sleeping habits 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.359 down almost, You're close. It's best friends, man, would you 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.120 did you watch the whole game? I did watch the 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.400 whole game. I went to bes way too late. Well, 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.000 I bet on the Broncos, so we didn't go well, 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:47.400 I had to, you know, just stay up till the 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:52.320 end to see what happened. Let's bring it ey, what's happening, man, boys, 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.959 good to be here. Yeah, I also watched the whole game. 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.079 Frank was up to one thirty and was awake at 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.520 four on my way to the airports. So not as uh, 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.959 not as well rested well, but yeah, doing Okay, I 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.760 think we should bring up the fact that, like, you're 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.519 here at this table. Yes, yes, I'm sure we work 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.480 on a thirty fourth Street you'd say in Manhattan, Yes, yea, 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:16.480 I am here at this table. We weren't street some 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.640 other people that are on the show, was was working 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.079 on thirty fourth Street yesterday? They didn't make an appearance here, 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.440 just say no. Yeah, it was weird to be in 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.640 New York and not see you guys. Uh. It's one 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.880 of those things you come in you know, your your 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.440 day is just kind of filled with menal tasks and 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:35.120 you know right now I'm working one day a week, 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:36.520 and the least I can do is show up and 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.960 be there for the show. That's that's what I did. 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.080 And uh, but yeah, pumped up to talk football with 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.920 you guys. I wish I could be on every day 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:50.800 with you, schedules permitting, I'm here as often as possible. Absolutely, 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.360 I was just joking e y uh and New York 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.800 last night and tonight, so I was grosser street at 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.560 the garden too busy of course to hang best friends. 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.520 But that's a guy and its cancer taking home betweenty 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.760 four seven titles? Greg? How about that? And his kids 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.520 and now has more more title wins and than other people. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.560 Too soon? Come on, and we still have a lot 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.520 of time left. All right, let me let me get 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.760 into last night's games before we hit the break. Let's 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.080 start out with the later game that I didn't watch. 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:19.800 You guys to help me out. Let me start off 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.960 with Broncos Raiders. People are raving about the Raiders. Now, Um, 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.080 is this one of those un theory type of things. 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.000 E Y was like, all right, they lost Antonio Brown. 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.279 Now they're winning, not in spite of him, another winning 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.880 because he's gone, and they're simply better. Yeah. Well, I mean, 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.320 let's not get ourselves. Skill wise, they're not better. But 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:40.120 I do believe, uh, you know, sometimes it's as fantasy 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.680 analysts or experts or whatever you wanna call us, I 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:47.080 call myself an enthusiast. Um For me, a thing like 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.360 that can can bring a locker room together. And the 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.480 reality is is football is a team sport. There's not 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:56.839 one guy that's going to to make or break anyone team. 0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.760 He was the best player on the team. You can't 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.600 tell me any anything otherwise. But obviously it was a 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:07.560 massive distraction from day one. Um barely practiced, was barely 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.320 a training camp, probably probably wasn't in a whole lot 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.640 of meetings. It wasn't really around. The guys aren't going 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.600 to miss him because most of them didn't even know him. 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.680 Um and and the Raiders look decent. Tyroll Williams looked 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.320 real good, Derek Carr looked, you know, pretty efficient, better 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.640 than I think that most anyone thought he was going 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.440 to be without Antonio Brown. So yeah, it's it's exciting. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.400 The NFL is a better place when the Raiders are 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.160 a good football team. Yeah, I want to piggyback off 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:33.960 that as well. I don't think that they're better off 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.400 without Antonio Brown, but I actually think Antonio Brown not 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:40.320 being with the Oakland Raiders is better for everybody involved 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.120 on this team from a fantasy perspective, because the way 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:44.640 that I'm looking at it, I think that it's really 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.320 concentrated amongst three people. It's really just gonna be Tyroll Williams, 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.000 Darren Waller, and Josh Jacobs. And that's a good thing 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.480 because the more that we can concentrate fantasy production, uh, 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.839 the more opportunity that the easier it is to predict 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.400 moving forward weekend and week out. Darren Waller played fifty 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:04.680 five of fifty five offensive snaps yesterday. He played of 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:07.120 the snaps, he looked really really good. Clus seven of 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.240 eight targets for seventy yards. Looks like he is going 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.120 to fill that Jared Cook roll from a year ago 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.200 looked explosive. Tyrol Williams same thing. He had a few 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.760 deep passes down the field. Didn't know Derek Carr had 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.440 it in him, but ultimately, you know Tyro Williams. I 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.400 said this yesterday when we were previewing this game from 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.000 a betting perspective on the FANDUL Hurry up, Greg. Honestly, 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.600 I might have you know downplayed Tyroll Williams talent, and 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:30.240 I said, I don't know that he can hang as 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.960 a wide receiver one in the NFL. Well, you know what, 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.039 in his first opportunity to do so, he looked pretty 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.960 damn good. Seven targets, six receptions over a hundred yards 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:41.479 and a touchdown. And Josh Jacobs man twenty three carries 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.880 that was second among all running backs in Week one, 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.359 behind only Marlon Mack. He had eight red zone carries 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.400 greg that led the NFL in Week one. So look, 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.960 if Josh Jacobs is getting twenty twenty five touches weekend 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:54.919 and week out, he's going to be a high end 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.000 RB two, borderline RB one. Yeah, absolutely, Josh Jacobs, that 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.280 usage continues, he's going to absolutely be a mortal line 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.760 running back one of the season. I thought you said 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.480 it really nicely, Frank, that Antonio Bryants all condensed. We 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.560 know what we're getting, which is nice with Tyrielle Williams, 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.040 with Darren Waller, with a lot of Josh Jacobs, and 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.080 that's that's it. And if you picked up hunk to 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:14.360 Ren for I think it's safe to say you could 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.240 drop him absolutely. Well, that's some more of that coming 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.440 up in just a moment. The early game was the 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.320 fun game Saints and Texans, arguably the game of the week, 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.600 and we had an overtime time. But last night between 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.400 the two good teams, the Saints and the Texans, you 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.840 saw Bill O'Brien's fallacies, you saw the struggles on the 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.160 defensive end of the Texans. Ultimately a fifty eight yard 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.360 field will seals the deal for Will Lutts and the Saints. 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:41.440 I was very, very impressed with the Texas last night, Frank. 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.400 It was status quo as always for them. Deshaun Watson 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.360 looked amazing. DeAndre Hopkins looked awesome as well. Surprised Will 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.080 Fuller didn't get worked in a little bit more. He 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.640 did have a phenomenal catch, but outside of that wasn't 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.200 really targeted much. Duke Johnson played on forty one sixty 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.000 four snaps yesterday and Carlos Hyde played on the other 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.160 twenty three, So this seems like it's basically a two 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.280 thirds split in favor of Duke Johnson, which is pretty 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.240 much what we expected. But Carlos Hide, we'll talk about 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:09.440 this a little bit more when we get back. We'll 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.960 talk about Weaver wired today. Carlos Hide, looks like you 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:13.520 still might have a little bit something left in the 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.480 tank here. Greg, absolutely absolutely. We'll see about Carl Lewis 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.680 side who was left for dead, talk about him picking 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.440 him off the way over wire and who else to 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:30.520 grab when we return. You're on the VFF wait talk 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.040 with Teddy Covers at Ralph Michaels. I think the public 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.400 is going to be on Tennessee because a week one results. 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.640 When you have eighteen penalties like the Browns had eighteen 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.640 accepted penalties, you're never gonna win that game. The Browns 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:47.920 basically their newness, their non familiarity, just the penalties were 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:51.240 just absurd. I think if you want Tennessee, play it 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.800 now at minus three What's live week days three or 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.520 four pm Eastern on Sports Grade and Smotiv Channel seven 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:02.160 nineteen Daily Rhado dot Com from the game's best DFS players. 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.760 We don't just give you advice.

It was eight 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:46.079 flos rushing yards on not that many carries. He was 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.160 the feature back with with Do Jackson, Do Jackson, Duke 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:53.840 Johnson having his role, checkson having his role obviously Frankie, 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:55.959 but it was more. It was a bigger role that 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.280 we've seen in Cleveland. But it was still one b role. 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.439 I thought for a lot to Carlos Tide when it 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.320 comes to running the football in the PVR league. Johnson's 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.640 exactly who he thought he was. Carlos Hide more so 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.000 Carlos Hides out there on the waiver wire. How much 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.240 you're spending this week? Not much. I'll look at two 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.679 to three percent, and in PPR, I mean even less 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.920 than that one to two percent. But it is a 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:18.920 running back that's seeing a third of the snaps on 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:21.679 one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL. And 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.200 I have a feeling that if they would have got 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.240 down on the goal line, you know, a one yard 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.439 run situation, it's probably Carlos Hyde who is on the field. So, 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:30.600 you know, two to three percent, two to four percent, 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:32.319 you know, maybe a little bit more aggressive if you 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.360 own Duke Johnson and you just want to lock up 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.360 both of those guys in the backfield. But as I mentioned, 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.520 it's really a you know, two thirds split for Duke Johnson, 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.679 like a sixty five percent snap share for Duke, thirty 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.679 five percent for Carlos Hide. But he did look good. 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.839 Ten rushing attempts for eighty three yards eight point three 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.160 yards per carry, not use much in the past game. 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.520 That's pretty much what we expected. But you know, there 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:52.760 are a few of the running backs that we'll talk 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.160 about that I like more than Carlos Hyde. He's more 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.200 of one of the lower end running backs that's target 0:12:57.240 --> 0:12:59.920 this Well, let's break into those running backs that works hard. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.960 Who is the number one guy, Eric Young this week 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.880 off the waiver wire that you want to pick up. 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.400 I mean, if you play in a league that I'm 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:11.959 not in, that Malcolm Brown is available, but if you 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:13.960 play in one with me, and I took him probably 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.760 probably earlier than you were thinking. And and uh, this 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.160 week he showed why. I mean, this is a guy 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.880 that the Rams spend money on to keep him around. 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:24.880 You know that you just got to follow the money. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.040 And like I said, you can't listen to what they say. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:28.920 You can only listen to what they do. And what 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.360 they did is they paid this guy a bunch of 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.720 money when other teams were trying to take him away. 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.559 I understand that Darryl Henderson was drafted high, but he 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.240 is a rookie in a very complex offense, and they 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.440 like Malcolm Brown. Malcolm Brown is the number two there, 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:46.320 and uh, he's he's worth his weight in gold, I believe. Yeah. 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:47.719 For me, I'm gonna go a little bit of a 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:49.880 different round. I do like Malcolm Brown and agree that 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.680 he should be added, especially in standard or non PPR 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.320 leagues where the touchdown counts for so much in leagues 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.960 like that. But I'm looking at Ronald Jones and Giovanni 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.679 Bernard now things are still kind of up in the air. 0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:03.480 When it comes to Joe Mixon, he's dealing with an 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.800 ankle injury. They're saying he's day to day, still has 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:09.040 a chance to play in Week two. Unlike Kevin Coleman, 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:10.960 who's dealing with a high ankle sprain, he's already been 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.040 ruled out for the next couple of weeks. Joe Mixon 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.560 is still a chance he can play, but if he doesn't, 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:17.760 it might only This might only be a short term 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.680 add but every week matters in fantasy football, and if 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.120 Joe Mixon is out, Gio Bernard is easily a top 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.880 twenty four running back. We saw last year in weeks 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.000 three and four when Joe Mixon did not play, Giovanni 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.320 Bernard average ninety one total yards per game, eighteen touches 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.280 per game, had three rushing touchdowns in those two games 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:37.400 as well. And then when it comes to Ronald Jones, 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.120 I think this could actually have some staying power here. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:44.600 He has some long term, long lasting effect for fantasy. 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.240 I only played one percent of the snaps this week. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.640 I understand that it was third most on the team 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.680 behind darry O Goomba Wally and Peyton Barber, but he 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:54.840 was clearly the most explosive running back on the team 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.240 thirteen rushes for seventy five yards five point eight yards 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.880 per carry. He had three red zone wushing attempts this 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.720 past week as well, while Peyton Barber only had one. 0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:06.120 There was a report that came out just earlier today 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.520 where um Bruce Arians basically said they're gonna go with 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.040 a similar approach. Peyton Barber is going to start, and 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.880 they're gonna mix in Ronald Jones and if he has 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:16.800 the hot hand and they're going to use him. I 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:19.520 fully believe that Ronald Jones is better than Peyton Barber, 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.360 and we're going to continue to see that the further 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.400 that the season goes along. He has the pedigree. In 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.840 the off season, he added muscle mass. He looked more confident, 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.080 you know, in Week one running the football than any 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.520 time he did last year. So to me, Greg, it's 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.200 Giovanni Bernard and Ronald Jones, but I don't think that 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.240 Malcolm Brown is that far behind those guys. I just 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.400 think that as long as Todd Gurley is healthy, it's 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:44.440 very obvious that Malcolm Brown is the one B on 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.560 the Rams offense. Yeah, so Malcolm Brown is that one B. 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.040 And it's very very frustrating, more so than anything else 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.080 to the Todd Gurley owner who's going to have to 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.680 deal with that. I'm e're gonna feel comfortable for growing 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.320 Malcolm Brown in there. It was a long time. I'm 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.920 not gonna feel comfortable in week two starting Malcolm Brown 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:04.080 as a flex option. Probably not. You're you're almost hoping 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.280 for a touchdown for me as I look at the 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:10.600 waiver wire. Sure he scored two touchdowns a week one 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.680 he did. He had all five red zone rushing attempts. 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:17.200 Todd Gurley had zero. Yes, I recognized that and one. 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.800 And so I said to you, you sound very angry. 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.320 Is it because you're the girly owner? Yes, that's clarify. 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:24.480 I don't. I don't know if you have like a 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:26.680 personal vendetta against Malcolm Brown. I love Malcolm Brown. I 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.200 told Malcolm Brown up also have him as a handcuff 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.120 in in GST and we don't even have Todd Gurley. 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.040 We just drafted as I forced the Yeah, he was 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.760 a guy I wanted absolutely this exactly, you and I 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:38.080 were on him. It makes a lot of sense. So 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:42.640 the frustrating part about this is some of the times 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.720 that Malcolm Brown got those red zone carries, it was 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.400 Malcolm Brown drive right like they had girl on the 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:49.000 bench and Malcolm Brown drove them down the field. But 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.760 one time where it was a girly drive and girlies 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:52.560 droving down the field, droving down the field that got 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.560 to the ten yard line. But in Darrel Henderson and 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.320 I'm like, now, girls not even saying the game on 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.720 his own drives. That's what can earns me as a 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.600 Todd Gurley owner. Not even so that they're splitting carries 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:05.440 in a way, it's that he was taking out on 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.880 a drive that was all him, Rodell Henderson. So people 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:10.840 have said they don't want big lineman falling on his 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:12.760 knee out of the short stage. That's what I said yesterday, 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.680 And it was a short yard of situation of like, 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.480 oh my god, I'm very concerned about the situation. We're 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.000 gonna see how it plays out ultimately. Now go into 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:21.840 where you're talking about with Tampa Bay and Daria Goomo 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.320 wal a Um and Ronald Jones. I think the part 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:28.080 and I don't want you glossed over it, but had 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.120 the most snaps and of anybody the pass catch. He's 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.440 a pass catcher running back. And say what you will 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.399 with the Bucks, I think they're gonna be down more 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.920 often than not this season. They're gonna be chasing points, 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.359 They're gonna be chasing a comeback, which I believe me. 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.960 Goo is gonna be on the field more than anybody. 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.920 Ronald Jones definitely looked the most explosive. But I'm not 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.000 going all in here and dropping the bag, as some 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.520 would say on Ronald Jones. I'm just not gonna do it. Yeah, 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.639 I'm not gonna be too aggressive on this either. You know, 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.399 if you really need running back help, maybe five to 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.240 six percent, But honestly, I'm not going higher than for 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.119 any of the running backs. I think that this is 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.880 a week to be aggressive on wide receivers and tight ends. 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:06.760 And this is something we talked about a lot throughout 0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:09.440 draft season. Why we're so aggressive on running backs early 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:13.320 on in fantasy football, because there's so many wide receivers 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.399 that emerge off the waiver wire. Now, it's not that 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.119 we know that these wide receivers are going to be 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.480 consistent options weekend and week out, but we have seen 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.080 a lot of wide receivers emerge off waivers and I 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.200 think that's a lot of the reason why at least 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.280 I target running backs early on in fantasy drafts, because 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:31.679 so many of these wide receivers do emerge. So when 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:35.040 it comes to Ronald Jones five to six percent, Giovanni Bernard, 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:36.639 you know, if you're the mixing owner, you should have 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:38.920 already had Bernard, But if you don't, then you're also 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.359 probably in that five to six percent range. Greg, how 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:45.840 would you rank Giovanni Bernard, Ronald Jones, and Malcolm Brown? Uh? 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:47.840 For me? And is there anyone else that you think 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:49.520 should be in this mix when it comes to running backs? 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.159 So when it comes to run there are there are 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:54.400 actually you actually wrote them down here, Frankie. I think 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.840 we gotta get ahem most there. And it's the same 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:58.760 reason before you bear ranking, let me just talk about 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:02.240 most for for a few moments, because for me, everybody 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.280 knows this. I've said this, I banged this drum for 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.639 years on Kyle Shadahan. That's why I was higher on 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:09.359 Tevin Coleman than others. And Tevin Coleman and Matt Brina 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.240 this past Sunday both look good and then Coleman gets hurt. 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:16.960 Matt Brenda is not in a position physically to get 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:21.320 twenty touches a game. He cannot handle it. They are 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.600 going to use a second running back, and that running 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.680 back clearly right now is where he Moster. I understand 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.680 a lot of his touches last weekend. Kwan Brina, no surprise, 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.520 left the game due to dehydration issues. It's going to 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.959 happen weekend and week out. Whether it's dehydration, whether it's 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:39.440 getting the win knocked out of him, whether it's a 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.400 leg and ankle, a hamstring, or growing. It doesn't matter. 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.080 Matt Brena can't stay on the field, So there's going 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:46.439 to be somebody else that steps up, and I believe 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.320 after looking at it this past Sunday, it's going to 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.800 be most He has a role here. So I like 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.720 Whee Moster, just like I like the Redskins duo of 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.960 Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson. If Darius Guys is out 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:58.600 and it looks like he has a sprain, Minsk is 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:01.200
