00:00So, this was one of my sleeper picks going into the season.

00:05It's working out real well.

00:07He's not playing at all.

00:08Blake Corum, who was a star in college, but it's Sean McVay,

00:12so that means you have no idea what's going to happen with the

00:15running back position.

00:17And in this case, Blake Corum is not seeing the field.

00:21And Ronnie Rivers is playing behind him.

00:23So, barring an injury to Kyron Williams, George,

00:26I think it's time for me this week to start cutting bait.

00:29I'm 2-2, and I think in the league that I have him,

00:32that's the dynamic, is if you need to fill the roster spot,

00:35I think you've got to make it happen.

00:36The other thing, too, is you can look at your FAB budget,

00:39and you can also look at your waiver position in Fantasy,

00:41see where you are, and understand that, hey, look,

00:44if I still have a lot of money in my budget or if I have the

00:46number one or number two overall pick and something happens to

00:48Kyron Williams, I'll just go grab him next week if I can.

00:52But, you know, also, by the way, wouldn't shock me at all to see

00:56him play and rush for 100 yards.

00:58The Rams, to me, are a complete mystery at running back.

01:02I think the talent is there for Corham.

01:04It is, but he's not seeing the field.

01:06And Kyron Williams is playing great, absolutely great here.

01:08I don't think this changes anytime soon.

01:10All right, I only have played Corham in one league.

01:12And, by the way, he was everybody's favorite sleeper.

01:15We all loved him.

01:16We were all saying, hey, if you get Kyron,

01:17you better take Corham as well, right?

01:18They're a little handcuffed, a little backup for you.

01:21All right, we were all on that.

01:23Now, I have him in one league.

01:25I don't think I've released him yet because it's a deeper league.

01:27There's no one else out there for me to get.

01:29You know, so I'm not willing to go for him yet.

01:31But in a normal league, he's got to be gone.

01:33You know, you should have Sermon this week.

01:36You know, there are lots of guys.

01:37McNichols, I would have taken him on to Washington

01:39earlier in the week when I thought he might play

01:40over Bryan Robinson.

01:43So, yeah, he should be gone.

01:45It's not that I don't believe in the talent.

01:47I do, but the opportunity is not there.

01:50All right, you want to blame McVay?

01:51Fine, because that's who we should be blaming.

01:54You know, Kyron Williams is playing so well.

01:56Maybe back in, what was it, the end of preseason?

01:59Oh, he's going to return Ponce.

02:00Yeah, that happened.

02:01Yeah.

02:03Raiders have turned to Alexander Madison,

02:05which is surprising considering Madison

02:07was so poor last week with the Vikings.

02:09They signed him.

02:10It looks like a good move now because Zemir White,

02:13who came on for Josh Jacobs last year,

02:14George, has been a zero.

02:17I mean, I think if we're doing this in two weeks from now

02:20and the same results happen, Zemir White is a cut.

02:23But for me, it's a hold right now.

02:26I've got him in a league.

02:27I'm just going to hold and wait and see.

02:28But it's close. I mean, it is close.

02:30If you're not going to play, there's no point.

02:33I agree. It's really close.

02:35He's probably not playing Sunday, all right?

02:37I think Pierce said yesterday

02:38that he's pretty much doubtful to play here.

02:40I don't want to cut him because, once again,

02:42running back with a heartbeat, you know?

02:44But that being said, if I need to love the guy for this week,

02:46then he's got to go, but I'd like to hold on to him

02:49at least a little longer.
