00:00Well, if there ever was a known commodity in fantasy football, it is the running back

00:07position on the Kansas City Chiefs.

00:08Now look, it's certainly not like the 49ers, okay, let's not get it twisted here.

00:15But you got Patrick Mahomes, and you got passes, you got a lot of flags, George, in the end

00:20zone, right?

00:21Flag, flag, Kansas City, we know that story.

00:25And then you got touchdowns on the goal line, and so those are all going to Isaiah Pacheco

00:28this year, right?

00:30Well, no, Pacheco's going to miss probably the whole year.

00:33So here are the options.

00:35I mean, here are the options for the Chiefs backfield.

00:37It's ugly.

00:38Samadze Pirine, who was like a sneaky pick, I think going into the season, doesn't look

00:44so sneaky anymore.

00:46Not so good.

00:47Carson Steele had 18 touches in week three, but I gotta tell you, wasn't that impressed.

00:53Kareem Hunt, he's been activated from the practice squad.

00:57So there's a number of different directions that I want to go here.

01:02Let's start with these options.

01:05Let's start with these three options, because, George, I personally think running back for

01:10the fantasy football playoffs is not currently playing for the Kansas City Chiefs.

01:16That's my opinion.

01:17Oh, I might agree with you.

01:20I think it's very fair.

01:23It's a tough situation for fantasy, because you're guessing here.

01:26You're just guessing.

01:28I agree with you about Steele.

01:29He was not impressive last week at all.

01:31I mean, he touched the ball the most, but it was three yards in a cloud of dust.

01:36If you're starting him, you're praying he gets in the end zone.

01:39That's really all you're looking for, that he gets in the end zone.

01:41He's just not going to do much for you.

01:43And by the way, his sister had her wedding on game day.

01:48Don't you know your brother is an NFL player?

01:51Weird, man.

01:52Right?

01:53It's September.

01:54Make the wedding in August.

01:55How did they even have the wedding?

01:56How did they even do it?

01:57Why didn't they just wait?

01:58Weird, man.

01:59Totally weird.

02:00Do they not like the brother?

02:01And they're watching the game from the wedding?

02:03What?

02:04Was that a thing?

02:05I mean, maybe that was the theme.

02:06I just found that strange.

02:08Help watch my brother play while I toast to the next six months of my life before I'm

02:13the vote.

02:14Oh, no.

02:15I didn't say that.

02:16Wow.

02:17Six months.

02:18This guy, how long have we been married, Craig?

02:19I know I'm on year 23.

02:2020.

02:21No, 20.

02:22Yeah.

02:2320.

02:24Yeah.

02:25I'm a 23 and a half.

02:26So there we go.

02:27Where are we going?

02:28I just found it strange.

02:29Where am I going?

02:30Perrine.

02:31Perrine.

02:32I think he's the guy you want.

02:33Perrine.

02:34Go to Perrine.

02:35He's not even on the team.

02:36I like Samadji Perrine.

02:37I think he's the guy you want.

02:38Hurrah.

02:39Me, Ryan.

02:40Me, Ryan.

02:41Me, Ryan.

02:42Perrine.

02:43Whatever you like.

02:44Samadji.

02:45He catches the ball.

02:46That's the bottom line here.

02:47Once again, I assume you're playing in a PPR league.

02:48If you're playing in a standard league.

02:49Does anybody play standard anymore?

02:50By the way, if you do that, then you probably do it wrong.

02:51I don't know.

02:52Does anybody play standard anymore?

02:53By the way, if you do that, then you probably do want the steal, I guess.

02:57But I think Samadji is the guy you want.

02:59Now, I have no idea what Perrine, Perrine, what a practice guy's name.

03:02Well, screwed up.

03:03But I think he's the guy you want to catch the ball to the backfield.

03:05Touchdowns are going to be hard to come by here.

03:07They're running back threes.

03:08And you're still guessing here.

03:09Kareem Hunt, by the way, he was on the NFL wave of wire.

03:14If he had something left, somebody would have grabbed him beforehand.

03:17I got to think that.

03:18So it's the same situation with Dalvin Cook with the Cowboys.

03:20If he was all that good, he'd be gone already.

03:22We'd already be on a team.

03:25So I don't expect much from Kareem Hunt.

03:27Yeah.

03:28And the reason why I was saying that is, number one, I think they could make a trade.

03:31Number two, we have not even talked about Clyde Edwards-Elaire, who is still sitting

03:37on their injured reserve or whatever it is, suffering from post-traumatic syndrome.

03:41I don't know that he's coming back, but if this is another week where the Chiefs cannot

03:46run the ball at all and do nothing, I mean, I definitely think he's an ad in fantasy football

03:51off the IR.

03:52But I think what George has said is fair.

03:54Piran looks like the best option because he can catch the ball in the backfield.

03:57Steele may be the goal line guy, but you look at teams that are out of it at some point,

04:06running back commodity, who even knows what it really is these days anymore.

04:10But I would tell you where George was right and I was wrong, here's the truth.

04:15Cam Akers did not look good last week, but George said, this guy's going to score a touchdown.

04:18And he did.

04:19He did.

04:21George was right.

04:22I was wrong.

04:23Cam Akers played.

04:24He scored.

04:25Okay.

04:26But nobody watching that game would think Cam Akers is good from that one.

04:27Who is the Cam Akers right now on some other team that ends up in Kansas City at the end

04:34of the season?

04:35Is it Ramondre Stevenson?

04:38You know, like is it somebody like, no, he's too good.

04:41He's too good.

04:42He's too good.

04:43He's too good.

04:44Javante?

04:45Mostert?

04:46No, same division.

04:47They would never do that.

04:48They would never do that.

04:49They would never do that.

04:50Same division.

04:51How about Mostert?

04:52You know, Miami's got a right.

04:53They got a change.

04:54If Miami fell out?

04:55Yeah.

04:56If Miami fell out?

04:57Spears?

04:58I don't know.

04:59That's not going to happen.

05:00Javante Williams?

05:01How about Javante Williams?

05:02Oh, same division again.

05:03That could be a problem.

05:04Yeah.

05:05He just said that.

05:06He's not, they're not going to trade that helped the Chiefs, man.

05:07Does he kill Elliott?

05:08I don't see it.

05:09There aren't too many good running backs out there.

05:10Don't see it.

05:11Again.

05:12My prediction.

05:13Starter in the fantasy football playoffs.

05:14Not on the Chiefs right now.
