00:00All right, now let's get to the Los Angeles Chargers. This used to be plug-and-play,

00:08right? Very easy to just put Austin Echler. First-round pick, George, two years ago in fantasy

00:14football. Austin Echler, first-round pick, and now not even being drafted until late in a lot of

00:19drafts. Gus the Bus goes from the Ravens to the Chargers. J.K. Dobbins, once upon a time, was like,

00:28you know, sleeper of the year in fantasy. Like, first-round pick in fantasy. But

00:33both have had injury issues. Edwards has been healthier than Dobbins at times. This is like

00:37the one running back situation I hate in fantasy football this season. I don't have either of

00:41these guys anywhere. I don't think. I might have Dobbins, Salwa, in one league. Maybe. I don't

00:48think I do. But maybe. I agree with you. It's another situation. Once again, the hot hands

00:51likely going to play. Good luck guessing who it's going to be. Game in and game out. Dobbins is

00:55actually pretty damn good. The problem is, the one ability he doesn't have? Availability. He gets

01:01hurt a lot. You know, it's always been his issue, right? Can't stay healthy. Listen, not every

01:07human body is built to play football. And he just hasn't been able to do it here. So like I said,

01:12I do like him. And that's probably why I do have him somewhere. But, you know, maybe he plays

01:16tomorrow, doesn't play next week, or gets hurt during the game. He's that guy who frustrates

01:19the hell out of you. You just don't know what you're going to get from him. And also, not much

01:23of a passing offense to worry here, right? I don't know what McConkie's going to do for you,

01:27Josh Palmer, whatever. Teams are going to be loading up to stop. I can't believe against

01:31Herbert. They're gonna be loading up to stop the run. And we know the kind of game hardball wants

01:34to play. It's just the Steelers all over again, by the way. They want to play close, 21-17 games,

01:39let the other team make a mistake in the fourth quarter, and we'll get the W.
