00:00So let's start with the running backs for those that aren't familiar.

00:07Remember here, you're playing DFS, you know, certain price, certain player.

00:12We're going to spend that and that might limit us in what we can do elsewhere.

00:15Joe will start the running backs here and I'll start at the top Breeze Hall at

00:178,500. Is he worth it?

00:20What do you expect to return here?

00:22Look, if you're the Jets, I think you get to running the football.

00:25You get to basics, right?

00:28That's what you're trying to do.

00:28You're trying to get to a place where you bounce back because last week wasn't

00:33great against the 49ers.

00:35And I again, I keep going back to the same point.

00:37You give them no time together in the preseason in real game action to figure

00:42it out.

00:42Well, they got a whole games worth basically or three and a half quarters

00:47worth for Trod Taylor came in to figure things out.

00:51Okay, you shake the dust off.

00:53You faced a really good 49er defense and now you're taking on the Titans who

00:56are one of the more middling teams in the NFL.

00:58And I think that's putting it kindly.

01:00Will Levis is very mistake prone.

01:02You play defense.

01:03You run the football and that's how you get a victory here and you let just

01:06Aaron Rodgers manage things out.

01:08I'm not chasing the Alan Lazard stuff from the day, you know week before

01:12that's crazy talk.

01:13I mean, I saw people I think there was a trade in a league where somebody

01:17traded Devante Adams for Alan Lazard.

01:19I saw it because somebody posted it to me and I thought this is the worst

01:22thing I've ever seen like this is just so horrendous, but you shouldn't

01:25veto trades.

01:26You should let people learn the hard way.

01:27Unfortunately, however,

01:28this week when it comes to the running backs, you do have Breeze Hall who

01:31is very expensive.

01:33Alvin Kamara at 7,800.

01:34I think is a better pivot, especially in the full point PPR formats like

01:39DraftKings.

01:39He is going to continue to work.

01:41He's that guy in the backfield for the Saints.

01:44Derrick Henry at 7,500 has a lot of touchdown equity.

01:46People were concerned that he didn't touch the football as much in that

01:49first game.

01:49Well, it was short week week one

01:52game script wasn't going his way.

01:54I expect the Ravens to have a lead.

01:57I expect the Ravens to be running Derrick Henry and I expect this to be

02:00a good situation for return on investment.

02:02Isaiah Pacheco.

02:03We mentioned at the top of the show at 7,400 also a player.

02:05I think this week you are looking for and looking for opportunity here.

02:09He has some touchdown equity as well.

02:11But Jordan Mason really look he's 5,500 over on FanDuel on DK is 5,200.

02:17He is, you know, going to be rostered probably in 70% of formats.

02:22Like I'm just saying like the Ross percentage is going to be through

02:25the roof.

02:26And I don't think it's wrong.

02:28I think you take your points.

02:29You take your return on investment and it might be best Jordan Mason lineup

02:33winning this week.

02:34And if you want to fade it, that's cool.

02:36That's fine.

02:37I would at least have some shares of it because I think it would be a bad

02:40decision to fade it completely.

02:42So have some lineups with Mason.

02:44Maybe you have one or two where you don't have it, but it's hard not to

02:48look at that situation.

02:50The knees going on the road, how good he's looked so far in this offense

02:53the touchdown equity he brings and not feel like Mason is in a good

02:57situation to return 3x value on that 5,000 salary.
