00:00All right, let's go to Gino Smith. He's the next one on the board here. Again, two quarterback Lee

00:03got to think about keeping him. But the picks have really crushed him like they did in the early days

00:08of when he was a quarterback in the NFL. You know, they did sign him I think three years $75 million

00:15for Gino Smith. So they're on the hook for him again next year. It's not to say that he is bad

00:19by any means. In fact, that he'd be the best backup quarterback George in the NFL by far.

00:24He's actually a pretty good starter. But my gosh, 10 picks if you lose two points per pick,

00:30and you're only getting four or six points for a scoring touchdown. 12 Team League, George,

00:34he's a drop 14 Team League, George, he's a drop. Two quarterback league, though. I think I'm

00:42hanging on. I think I'm hanging on a two quarterback league. I was a two quarterback.

00:46You hang on to everybody. He's definitely hang on. The problem there is what you said.

00:51It's the picks. All right. Everything else has been pretty solid, but it's the picks.

00:55All right. He's my homes. He's my homes again. All right. It's tough to start when you're

01:00throwing those picks. You lose two points for a pick. You're getting crushed. You're just getting

01:04crushed here. I want to hold on to him. I do. They come in with a bite and see what they can do. DK

01:09Metcalf comes back from injury this week. It's a tough matchup against San Fran. But San Fran is

01:13not the defense they used to be. So I am not letting him go. Of all the quarterbacks we've

01:18talked about so far, which is Stafford, Caleb Williams, I would rather have Gino Smith. All

01:22right. So I'd rather have him starting for me. But he's been that guy. If you look at in games,

01:27Craig, oh, when he's on fire, he's on fire hitting everybody. And then all of a sudden,

01:30he makes a couple of bonehead rock plays. You're like, what the hell? What did you see there?

01:35It just drives you insane here. If you look, I got it. What I'm trying to tell you is I got him

01:38in a couple of weeks. And Washington has made me angry a couple of times here. But I want to hold

01:43on to him. All right. Finally, let's go to the Titans backup running back situation. Tony Pollard

01:49has actually been really good this year, shockingly. But we're always trying to find who

01:54the backup is going to be for Tennessee. They've run through a few players. Tajay Spears was

01:59someone that we were told at the beginning of the season. I mean, this guy is going to catch 500

02:03yards and rush for 500 and score eight touchdowns. Look at these numbers. 161 rushing yards, 80

02:10receiving yards, one touchdown. Tennessee's awful. Drop, drop, drop. You're not playing him

02:15in any fantasy league. And this is a running back with a pulse. And I'm still saying drop.

02:19I'm not playing him. I'm not holding him. I mean, I'll find a fullback to play. This guy barely

02:26even plays. I don't have much to add here. You're dropping him. There's nothing to add. I guess you

02:32could have claimed him earlier in the week when Pollard did have an injury designation. But that

02:35went away yesterday. He's going to play. Pollard's been very good. Very good. And you're right,

02:40though, come draft time, we were told by Tennessee that it was going to be, I don't want to say an

02:45even split, like 60-40. But Pollard's run away with the job. He's had a very good season there.

02:49Spears really hasn't done all that much. I mean, what are you hoping for here? At this point,

02:53you're hoping for an injury. That's the only way Spears really comes into play here. You can't

02:57start him hoping he gets a touchdown. He's not even a big guy or the goal line guy. So no, Spears is

03:02extremely droppable. You move on from Tajay.
