00:00For the Chicago Bears, that is DeAndre Swift, he gets this juicy matchup against the Carolina

00:07Panthers.

00:08Now there's one little caveat to this, which is the fact that the Bears don't score a lot

00:13and the Panthers aren't really good on offense.

00:15So the total on FanDuel is under 42.

00:19So you're looking for yards, you're looking for catches, but like the idea that Swift's

00:23going to score two or three touchdowns and rush for 200, you know, I don't see that happening,

00:30but in a game that's probably going to be a little closer than the Bears want to, they're

00:33going to be using the running game a lot.

00:36You know, watching the game Thursday night, I kept thinking, does anybody rush for over

00:40100 yards anymore?

00:41Other than Derrick Henry?

00:42He seems to do it.

00:44But other than that, it's like a rarity, right?

00:46It's like, oh my God, rush for a triple digits.

00:48We just don't see that anymore.

00:49It's just weird.

00:50Do I think he's a must-start?

00:51Yeah, I pretty much do as well.

00:54I mean, he may not be for your team, maybe you're not so hurt with the boys, maybe you're

00:57not strong running backs.

00:58There you go.

00:59But I do think he's a must-start this week.

01:01I am as a low-end running back one, high-end running back two, but you're right, do I expect

01:06two, you know, 100 yards and two touchdowns?

01:07No.

01:08I don't expect that from anybody.

01:09You know, maybe out of Saquon Barkley, that's about all I might expect that from here.

01:14So, but that being said, compared to the other running backs, yes, I am as a low-end running

01:18back one, high-end running back two.

01:20All right.

01:21Now let's move over to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

01:22They actually are playing in a game where the total is relatively high in Indianapolis,

01:26mid-40s.

01:27You don't see that anymore in the NFL.

01:29Travis Etienne, the Jags fought Houston tooth and nail last week.

01:33Etienne is still a big part of the game plan.

01:36Simply put, 10 catches, 48 yards, that's not enough.

01:41He's treading water for you in fantasy, but this week you would expect, if it's going

01:45to happen, this is the week.

01:48I would agree.

01:49And once again, what I'll say about Etienne is, do you have better on your roster when

01:54you're not starting him?

01:56I mean, if you do, God bless.

01:57You drafted him as a running back number two.

01:59It's probably pretty much what he is.

02:02So yeah, I'm starting him this week.

02:03I wonder with the Jaguars if he didn't fumble that ball against the Miami Dolphins.

02:08Right?

02:09He doesn't make that, doesn't fumble that ball.

02:10Is the season a little different here?

02:12One thing to keep in mind about all the Jaguars, by the way, as far as Trevor Lawrence and

02:15his numbers are concerned, his numbers against certain defenses are horrendous.

02:19Cover two, awful.

02:20But his numbers against a certain defense, cover three.

02:24I know it's going into early advanced analytics here, but cover three, very good.

02:27One of the best in the league.

02:29Guess what the Colts play predominantly?

02:32Cover three.

02:33Just something to think about.

02:34This could be a good week for the Jaguars in that offense.
