00:00Let's move the conversation here.

00:04Start, sit, and we start at the running back position here.

00:08So if you're a fantasy manager and you have Austin Echler, who has Carolina, or Ty Chandler,

00:12and Joe, you just started to scrape the tip of the iceberg here with what's going on in

00:17Minnesota and their backfill questions.

00:19Minnesota has Detroit.

00:20So start, sit.

00:21Austin Echler or Ty Chandler?

00:22Joe Pizzoppia?

00:23Yeah.

00:24Again, one of these that's very close.

00:26I think I would lean towards Echler in this scenario here.

00:30I like the pass-catching ability for Echler.

00:33Brian Robinson is back in this backfield, so that does make things a little bit cloudier.

00:36But Ty Chandler, as intriguing as he possibly could be in this game, I don't see him necessarily

00:43finishing as an RB1.

00:45So I'd rather take the steady presence of a guy like Echler, who, you know, if you look

00:48at the Echler stats on the year, and a good matchup against Carolina as well, he's been

00:52pretty good.

00:5375% of the snaps last week, 13 touches, 68 total yards.

00:57He had 67% of the snap count.

00:58But that, again, is because of the injury to Brian Robinson.

01:02So he had a little bit more to do.

01:04But he's always going to work in the passing game, too.

01:06Five targets in the last game, I think, against Carolina, you're going to throw the football

01:09on them, too.

01:10This could be a huge, fancy day for all the Washington Commanders against Carolina.

01:14That team continues to give up.

01:16And I think that, you know, that 33 overall rank so far in the year for him is good enough

01:21where you feel confident.

01:22I'd love to see more touchdown equity.

01:23So if you're in a standard league, maybe I'd go with Chandler and hope for the touchdown.

01:28That I understand.

01:30But in any sort of PPR standpoint, I think I still favor Echler.

01:32Try to take the points that way and get out and maybe get lucky and he gets a touchdown.

01:37All right.

01:38Luck.

01:39CM Punk, if anybody minds, luck is for losers.

01:41I think he has a tattoo actually on his arm.

01:44Indianapolis and Miami, Michael Pittman Jr., Green Bay and Houston, Christian Watson here.

01:50Joe, thoughts?

01:52Yeah.

01:53Look, the back of Michael Pittman is not great.

01:56He is going to play just like he did last week, but he's not playing with Joe Flacco

01:59this week.

02:00And so far, Pittman and Richardson haven't gotten on the same page.

02:03Now can the Miami Dolphins defense allow that to happen?

02:06Of course, they're not a good unit.

02:07So you could see a very good day from the Colts offense.

02:10It's possible.

02:11But I like the upside of Christian Watson here.

02:14I finally healthy again, Jordan Love in a game here against the Houston Texans where

02:19I think the Texans will, of course, be very competitive with them.

02:22I like Christian Watson.

02:23I love the touchdown equity.

02:24Now, if you're in the full point PPR too, I understand that, you know, sometimes the

02:28Watson target volume isn't what you want it to be, but I think you have to be more patient

02:31with that.

02:32I think that's something that can grow over time.

02:34Jordan Love has been a guy that has shown you he wants to throw the football.

02:37Just ask Josh Jacobs, who's got, you know, the touchdown total is not what I think he

02:41was hoping it would be by the time we got to week seven, but at the same time, Jordan

02:45Love is going to be aggressive.

02:46That's a good thing for Christian Watson.

02:48I think Watson can exploit some of the holes at times that might develop in the secondary

02:52for Houston.

02:53So give me Christian Watson to make another big play here.

02:55Love the touchdown equity, whereas Pittman again, what is Richardson with Pittman?

03:00We still don't have the answer quite to that question yet.

03:03I'm hoping it's good.

03:04I'm not dropping Pittman.

03:05I'm just benching him this week for Watson.
