options for them,
given the injury to Elijah Mitchell, who
looks like he's going to miss about eight weeks, he has gone
officially on injured reserve. Here's the thing about Kyle
Shanahan
is that usually when he picks, he uses multiple running backs
when he picks one guy. He usually goes with a guy, Jeff
Wilson. Next in line played more than 50% of the snaps
after Elijah. Mitchell went out as
Kyle referenced in the in the sound that we heard. He's been
there. He knows the team, he knows the system.
He's the guy to me, he's the number one. Pick up this week
if you need a running back this week. Yep. I don't think Jeff
Wilson jr. Is particularly great, but he is the guy and
he'll get volume in a San Francisco 49ers offense.
There's not much. I like I much prefer him to a Jalen Warren,
even if nausea Harris, we're going to miss time. Yeah,
there's a coolness on the 9, as in general. Because, you know,
they lost to the Chicago Bears is six and a half Point
favorites, that's not ideal. At the same time of all the good
times with lost. I would give them the most benefit of
the doubt. One try Lance.
It's his first game.
Weird bad conditions that total fell out of the sky to 37 and
a half so we'll be riding off the 9 as yet. I still think that
should be a good offense and they hopefully get George
Kittle back as well. Who's a really good run? Blocker
as well.
Yeah, they'll have you'll see Debo and Trey Lancer involved
in the Run game here. They're at home to Seattle. I just want
all the fibers eight and a half Point favorite. So
we expect them to be up. We expect them to be running.
Jeff Wilson jr. Is my number one running back. Add if and
this is a huge if James Robinson is taken in your
League if James Robinson's out there, by the way, he's out
available in about 40% of Yahoo leagues, we usually use 50% as
a
cut-off. So we're not talking about Robinson's specifically
but he is available in 40% of Yahoo leagues. He's out there
probably in a decent number and other on other platforms as
well
if he's available. He's the number one. Waiver add. He's
worth a big. He's worth a big amount of free agent budget.
He's worth a number one way, Brad because James Robinson is
going to be the leading
running back for the
Simple, Jaguars is Travis etn,
as we talked about all preseason
and then Stephen D'Agostino stolen from me and our show
draft. And so that's why Stevens down on the show today.
FYI there's a big deal, he's out, he's done. He's working on
button
and miserable and miserable because you know, Sims
is the Taskmaster candy cane? Well yes sir next guy, any
interesting kind of guy and well off to what he did against
the Lions I am again I think it's important to understand as
you head to the waiver wire. What are you looking for? Are
you look? Hey, I need someone this week I just lost a lot
easier, Mitchell. I might not have nausea Harris.
What? I like if you need somebody this week, Jeff Wilson
is a guy if you're just like, you know what I'm good. I'm
just looking for a bench stash.
I think Kenneth gain was pretty interesting 31% of the offense
of snaps in week. Number one, they play the Vikings this
week. Just a lot of 73 receiving yards to JJ Dillon
and Aaron Jones in week, 1
and gain was a nice player who has a role carved out for a mi
Sanders has had trouble staying healthy throughout his career.
We know that's a really good offensive line in Philadelphia.
We know, they want to run the ball,
they're not scared to give it to him.
The goal line. I mean, he scored a rushing touchdown
against Detroit. Everyone scored a rushing touchdown
against Detroit but I do think Kenneth gain. Well, if I'm
looking for somebody with long term to stash, he would be
the next guy
after that. How about Clio Herbert, right? David Montgomery.
I don't think David Montgomery is good at football.
No, I don't think so.
I think he's just a guy. I know they're big day Montgomery fans
out there. I'm not one of them. Here's a guy that led the team
in rushing. It Scalia Herbert led the Chicago Bears in
rushing yards despite Having Eight less carries
Then David Montgomery. He's better. He's a better football
player ranked than David. Montgomery had two point two
yards
after contact per attempt. David Montgomery is 1.4 just
quickly on Kenneth gain well going back to him. Yes sir one
thing the Philadelphia Eagles they are 100% going to be
favored in their next eight games.
Eight games in a row and there is a chance it is in play that
the Eagles are favored at the line in every single game this
season. That's how bad their schedule is there to hardest
games are home to Green Bay and
Dallas it's implied. They could be favored for all 17 games
this year, which means more rushing
attempts. Better game script more touchdowns. Okay, jumping
ahead to our one of your favorites. Rex Burkhead? Yeah,
I'll be going with him. Rex Burkhead.
Hit.
All right, this is the top part of the job. I just want America
to realize. This is the tough part of the job, okay? And that
is,
which is, I now have to talk up, Rex Burkhead, seven
thousand year old Rex Burkhead, but here are the positives,
right? He led the team in carries against Indianapolis
a game in, which
they were leading must have it.
He can take, Forty Nine to nineteen Edge. In terms of
total snaps over Damien Pierce, including 100% of the third
down work, you got all the two men at work. He got 71 percent
of the offense of snap.
Against the cult
19 total touches
70 scrimmage yards.
The Texans are going to be a competent offense.
They're not going to be a disaster of an offense, okay?
I don't think they're gonna be great, but I do. I
the Colts are decent defense, they move the ball against
like, pat pat whatever smells is better than expect. The
Davis knows this better than expected. We like, Brandon
Cooks there. They do have a weapon in in,
you know, in peers,
OJ. Howard, the ghost of OJ. Howard scored two touchdowns here.
Yeah, I don't know about that. At, but the fact is that
for the foreseeable look, I think there is very low, upside
on Rex Burkhead, but into his, a starting running back on
an NFL team, which means he has value and fantasy again.
Do I like Wilson gain? Well, and Herbert more than him.
I do.
But I think that we're lowering expectations and Damien purse
Pierce and I do think Rex Burkhead. Have some value
veteran presence. He's really good in past Pro and that
matters when you have a Young quarterback, I just wired that
that might have
been the best. Rex Burkhead game in terms of favorable
script and he 70 scrimmage yards. No touchdowns. There's
a huge potential fault that he loses the job, as the season,
he's goes on the list. Yeah,
exactly. What's on the list? Yeah. Nice fourth. Yeah, he's
fourth are Jamaal Williams. Her La V. Had a couple touchdowns
from my man, DeAndre Swift played 33 percent of the snaps.
So I don't know that you love that except in a slightly
deeper league, but I do think he has value, because DeAndre
issue, it has, dealt with,
has dealt with injuries in his career.
And listen, that's a really good offensive line.
They're obviously comfortable giving it to him on the goal
line, Jamal. It's a good running back. He's not as good
as DeAndre Swift, but most running backs in the NFL
orange. That's not a knock on Jamal Williams. So I do think
he's really interesting as sort of
a stash more of a later
later season stash. He's probably already taken in
deeper leagues as well, but I do think
he's interesting. We touched on Jalen worn as well.
If you need a guy, but I'm
I'm avoiding the Steelers running back situation
that isn't named nausea hair, interesting Music Choice from
The Producers over that graphic going with the Berlin nightclub
music overarching. They're doing our dry Swift by the way,
so many, so many people say,
hey, pick up these guys pick up these guys.
But hey, who am I dropping?
I'll give you two guys that are roster and over 50% of Yahoo
leagues. That I'm okay with you. Dropping. I'm not
advocating that you must drop these guys but if they're on
your roster, if you're looking for an open spot, you don't
have a you know
Elijah you can't throw somebody on the IR to create a roster
spot. I think James Cook, who, you know, had just two snaps
against the Rams,
you know. He lost a fumble in his first time. It's going to
take a while for you to get the trust of A Shaolin and Sean
McDermott. So I think it's a little while. Love him still in
Dynasty. Think it's a little bit, a little bit of
a while for James Cook to see meaningful snaps with the bills
and we're hemostat who I love, but had just five carries
compared to chase Edmunds 12. We know Edmonds more involved
in the passing
game and that's a game in which the Dolphins,
you know, pretty handily controlled.
Yeah, I would just be white. I think that's a pausing offense.
Now, on the back McDaniel, 33, pass attempts for 20 to 23
rushing attempts for the team. I think it's just a more
Progressive offense, and I'm not sure that it's Going to be
able to
support two running backs. It's the chase Edmunds show as you
like to say, follow the money, they hate the man and they run
hit one. Target Humane 14 routes had one target. I do
like most dirt as a talent,
but again, and so I would prefer to drop cook / moster
and hopefully enough to drop anyone. You can just throw
somebody in an IR spot, but
if you need to, there's some guys
d..
