00:00Let's go to Cleveland situation.

00:04This is definitely a hold at the very least, if not a start for Jerome Ford.

00:08Maybe some folks thought the numbers would be a little bit better than what they are.

00:11We know Nick Chubb is coming.

00:12Okay.

00:13Nick Chubb is going to come back, but I don't think he's going to fully eat into a Ford's

00:17full workload.

00:19The other part of this is that what is Cleveland's team going to look like in three weeks, George?

00:23I feel like one more loss and they're going to take everyone on this team and punt them

00:28and maybe even start over, unfortunately.

00:30I think that's maybe the direction that they have to go.

00:33Is Ford part of the future, part of the present?

00:36I don't know.

00:37I'm going to hold and wait and see.

00:41This is, I don't, listen, Ford's a jag.

00:44He's just another guy.

00:45He's nothing special.

00:46Chubb, I agree that he's not going to, he's not going to play a full complement of snaps,

00:50right?

00:51Especially in a season that's getting away from him anyway.

00:52I mean, why would you want to do that to the guy?

00:56You want to hold on to him?

00:57Fine.

00:58I think it's a great situation where you look to trade him.

00:59If you're a Ford and not Chubb, maybe you look to trade him to the Chubb guy, get something

01:03else that you can use on a more full-time basis here.

01:06I can certainly see that.

01:07I can see the reverse, by the way, where Chubb guy trades it to Ford.

01:09Either one works here.

01:10I think I'd be good with it, but not a great situation.

01:13Not a good team.

01:14They can't pass.

01:15Teams know it.

01:16They're playing on defense here.

01:17So it is what it is.

01:18There's just no upside for me here.

01:20I think I would have liked to, if I had Ford in any league, I would have liked to have

01:24moved on a week ago and looked to trade him then before Chubb got closer to returning.

01:30Finally, let's go to Carson Steele of the Kansas City Chiefs.

01:34I mean, Kareem Hunt has taken this role and run with it.

01:38Steele is not much of a factor anymore.

01:40Gosh, it's hard to cut a Chiefs running back, but I think if I had a better option, I would

01:45do it.

01:46I'm moving on from Steele.

01:48I think Steele's done.

01:49I think he might be third there now.

01:51I think your best case scenario is that he's the goal line guy.

01:53I think that's your absolute best case scenario.

01:55I'm not sure he's that.

01:56All right.

01:57I think Hunt's the guy you want first, Kareem's the guy you want second, then it's Steele.

02:01Listen, he's a football player, but nothing special fantasy-wise.

02:05I don't think he can help us anymore unless there's another injury.

02:07Hey, Craig, I mean, it's Kansas City.

02:10It could certainly happen here, but we also have to remember that CEH, Edward Taylor,

02:15he should be back next week.

02:16So there's more confusion that's going on here, and I hope it's CEH ahead of Steele

02:22as well.

02:23So Steele, you're fourth on the depth chart.

02:24No, not likeness.

02:25Good luck to you, Steele, but you won't be on my fantasy team.
