00:00I mentioned Saquon Barkley, so let's talk about he's at Tampa, and when you look at

00:06Tampa as a whole, we were singing their praises, but there are some holes there, and some of

00:10it is what they give up to the running back position, usually from the passing perspective.

00:14But Barkley's set to have a big day today?

00:17He is, by necessity.

00:19So Tampa needs to figure out a way to stop this man, because they've got no A.J. Brown,

00:23they've got no Devonta Smith.

00:24It's going to be the Saquon Barkley show, and so far that show has been number one in

00:28the ratings.

00:29It might be number one twice overall in three weeks, because he's been RB1 week one, RB1

00:36week three, overall in fantasy.

00:38That's pretty tremendous.

00:39Last week, 17 carries for 147, four catches on top of that.

00:44He had two touchdowns, he got four touchdowns on the year.

00:48Look, it's going to be a lot of Saquon Barkley today.

00:51The question is, is Tampa ready for it, and can they stop it?

00:55He is very expensive in the DFS world, he's at the top of the bar at the running back

00:58position, and rightfully so, because all the volume's going to him.

01:02He's got enormous touchdown equity.

01:04I'm of the mind that I think it's still very investable, but this is a great week for Saquon

01:08Barkley, a great week for some of those overs too, in terms of maybe all-purpose yards.

01:13That might be the best way to approach him.

01:15Give yourself more outs there, maybe look for the carry numbers as well, because it's

01:19going to be a whole lot of Saquon Barkley for this Eagles team that has some bad memories

01:23they have to shake.

01:24This is where they went to the playoffs last year and got trounced, right, and got bounced

01:28from the playoffs last season.

01:30So this is an opportunity for the Eagles mentally, I think, to get right here, and hopefully

01:34Nick Ceriani doesn't make any stupid decisions that cost them games.

01:37You know, like early on, going four-fourth down instead of taking points, you know, decisions

01:43like that.

01:44Sorry.

01:45Who would do that?

01:46I get a little emotional sometimes.

01:47Who would do such a thing in such a situation?

01:49Come on, why would you do such a thing?
