00:00A must pick up in fantasy, and this was a name in draft season that was really hot.

00:07And that's Kimani Vidal, the running back on the Los Angeles Chargers.

00:11So I think a lot of people may have had him in fantasy and then maybe cut him because

00:15it was apparent that Edwards was going to play behind Dobbins.

00:17And by the way, Dobbins immediately took that role and ran with it.

00:21George, I'm probably not going to start him, but buckle up because Dobbins is not the model

00:28of health.

00:29If Harbaugh wants to run the ball, would it shock anybody if this guy Vidal rushed for

00:34like 80 yards and a touchdown from weeks 12 to 16?

00:37I got to make sure I'm stashing this guy.

00:41We're on board here.

00:42Yeah.

00:43You know, Craig likes to make fun of me for my sayings here about coaches, lips move,

00:46lying.

00:47Harbaugh didn't lie to us.

00:48He pretty much told us the truth.

00:49All right.

00:50He was going to build up that offensive line.

00:52He's going to run the rock.

00:53It's what he wants to do here.

00:54I think there's actually enough for both, to feed both guys, by the way, Dobbins and

00:58Vidal.

00:59Vidal was a top draft pick, tried to get him in a dynasty league, but he was taken before

01:02me.

01:03So I think there's room here, especially this week against an Arizona team that I don't

01:06know.

01:07I don't trust at all here in the desert.

01:08So yeah, Vidal, I'm on board with you.

01:11I'm not saying, listen, it depends on what you have on your roster if you're starting

01:13him this week, but I think he is someone who is startable.

01:15Okay.

01:16Now let's go to Tampa Bay.

01:17We just talked a little bit about their running back situation.

01:20Rashad White, start or sit?

01:22Look, PPR League, if you're desperate, I guess so, based on what we saw with those other two

01:26running backs last week.

01:28I mean, this is borderline, you know, honestly cut for me.

01:31I'm probably not going to cut him this week, but he just hasn't shown enough for me.

01:35I guess what stands out are those numbers we just saw, 17 receptions for 127 yards.

01:41I mean, that's a pretty fat number for a running back that's already missed a week of the season.

01:45And that's what he really does well.

01:48The problem is that little donut we have there.

01:51He's not the touchdown guy.

01:53And they're throwing the ball up and down the field, right?

01:55Jacob Mayfield, my God, is having a fantastic season here.

01:58That's looking forward to that game, Monday night versus Baltimore.

02:02Now this decision I will have to make in a couple of leagues, Rashad White, and I don't

02:06want to start him.

02:07You know, I don't, and I'm leaning that way.

02:10By the way, that argument we had earlier, a debate, it's a little strong there, about

02:13if I had Rashad White and Aubrey on my team, and I wanted to keep Aubrey this week, Rashad

02:19White is a guy, depending on my running back situation, that I might let go.

02:21I just don't see big things.

02:22I wasn't big on him coming into the year, because I thought he was a volume guy.

02:26I thought he had the fantasy numbers last year, because there was nobody else.

02:30So they had no choice but to feed him the rock, to throw him the ball, so he was a compiler.

02:34Now they have other players, right?

02:36They have other players who could do the damage here.

02:40The arrow is definitely trending downward.

02:41I think you put it perfectly.

02:43You want to keep him one more week, see what happens, fine, but we're getting really close

02:47to moving on.

02:48All right.

02:49Juju Smith-Schuster, one of the top wide receivers on Kansas City right now.

02:53I can't start him, George.

02:54I mean, look, it's very fascinating that Kareem Hunt has become a guy again in that offense,

03:01but every time I see Juju, he's dropping a ball, man.

03:05No offense.

03:06He's had a great career, but I can't do it.

03:07I got to find somebody else.

03:11I don't want to start him.

03:12All right.

03:13Nine?

03:14Well, I think he had a role in one game, too.

03:19I don't want to start him.

03:20I don't, but that being said, maybe you're desperate, but he's got a hamstring problem

03:28as well.

03:29Maybe he's on a question on the injury for it.

03:30Andy Reid did say yesterday that he expects him to play, but we'll see to make sure here,

03:35so keep that in mind.

03:36I said, I don't want to start him, and by the way, Pat Holmes is a throw in the football,

03:40so that's a worry as well.

03:41All right.

03:42Let's check in with our weekly visit to Mark Andrews Land.

03:46Finally, Mark Andrews, a big part of the Ravens offense.

03:50Up to 13 receptions on the season, 186 yards and a touchdown.

03:55His second half's going to be better than his first half, George, so we're going to

03:58be wrong for two months and I think right for the next two.

04:02His second half's going to be better than his first half.

04:04Way to go out on a limb there.

04:06It can't be any worse.

04:08Listen, I called it.

04:09I told you last week at this time he would score a touchdown this week.

04:12That being said, he's still only played 51% of the snaps.

04:17I don't want to start him.

04:18I don't.

04:19And the only league I have him?

04:20Anchor him back.

04:21I don't have to.

04:22But he's likely a top 12.

04:23Tight ends are so shallow.
