00:00Quinton Johnson of the Chargers. And the reason why is not because he's a bad player and his

00:06stats are actually pretty good. Four touchdowns, 282 yards. Problem is the Chargers go for days

00:13and weeks at a time without scoring a lot. They just keep handing off the ball to J.K. Dobbins.

00:18I feel like Quinton Johnson is really good in those blowout games, but in those close games,

00:24man, they just keep running the ball and they win. What am I going to say? I mean,

00:28the Chargers are winning under Harbaugh. They're going to win 10 games. They're going to make the

00:31playoffs. They're going to lose the first round. Is Quinton Johnson somebody you would pick up

00:34and start right now? Pick up, no problem, right? I think he has some value here. I think this week

00:42he's a wide receiver, three flex guy. What'd you say? He's valuable in blowouts. Playing Tennessee,

00:48this could be another blowout, Craig. My problem with Quinton is going to be this.

00:53You already sort of hinted at this. Without the touchdown, I don't know what you're going to get.

00:57It's four for 16. You're not going to get much. He did miss a couple of games, so let's keep that

01:02in mind. It's not divisible by nine, but he's going to get three, four catches. You need that

01:08touchdown. You need touchdown deodorant or else you're not going to like what you see here,

01:10but this game could be a blowout. What'd you say? Three teams? Let's put it this way. He'll be on

01:16more than one team for the rest of the season, too. Maybe you're starting him this week. You're

01:19probably releasing him three weeks from now. You're starting because you have buys. All the

01:23Green Bay Packer guys are on buy. Seattle guys are on buy, so good for now, but we're

01:27going to move on eventually. Yeah, he's no Anders Carlson. That's what you're saying.

01:33All right, Ray Davis of the Buffalo Bills. Ray Davis is only 34% owned. I feel like this guy

01:38has to be owned in a lot more leagues, George, and you don't have to ever play this guy,

01:43but this is the perfect player to just stash and wait. Now, I am not rooting for anyone to get

01:51hurt in life, okay, but if something were to happen to James Cook, like this guy, I think

01:57this guy would be, I'm going to say it, better than James Cook. I think this guy is really good,

02:03but until that happens, if that doesn't happen, he comes in, you know, he gets the ball immediately,

02:08rushes for like 25 yards, they take him out of the game, you don't see him again.

02:13I think he needs to be rostered. I do. So he's like Tyler Algier of Atlanta and a couple of

02:18the backup running backs who they can, even if the starter's not hurt, I always start a place,

02:23whatever, you'll get your smattering of points, probably nothing, you may not get double digits,

02:27but a smattering of points, but if the starter does get hurt, you have a starting running back.

02:30Now, I understand the negatives against Ray Davis. They haven't had their bye week yet.

02:34That's in two weeks. All right, they play Indianapolis, no problem this week. Kansas

02:37City next week, probably not going to do much there. Kansas City's a really good defense,

02:41so that could be an issue, but I think he's someone who needs to be rostered. There has

02:45to be somebody in your league who needs them. You may not. Maybe you have three,

02:48four decent running backs and you may have two guys just like them. Maybe you got Algier and

02:52some other backup. I get that, but I think it is a little off that he's not rostered in more leagues.

02:57Yeah, under 20% in ESPN leagues too.
