00:00Let's start off with the quarterback position. Boy, the reclamation project of Anthony Richardson

00:04is in part six, it feels like here. Starting again, played well against the Jets last week.

00:09You can't really look at these numbers because they're not good overall for the season, but he

00:13did look good, George, against the Jets last week. Indianapolis Colts this week up against

00:20the Detroit Lions. Oh my gosh, is this the guy you want coming back from behind 31-10? Is that

00:28what's going to be? I don't want to get in front of the Lions at all, man. They're just killing

00:31people. Well, that could be a good thing. He's going to have to throw the ball all day. He's

00:36going to have to throw the ball all day. We go through it again. He had no Carr, no Allen, no

00:41Burrow, no Cousins. I think you have to start him. I mean, maybe you're a deeper quarterback

00:48and you don't, but I mean, we're talking a 12-team league, you know, he's going to be top 16,

00:54so therefore he goes, right? Because we've got four quarterbacks who start who are out.

00:58So yeah, you said it twice. He started against the Jets last week. I'm going to take that with

01:03the grain of salt. I am. Jets were terrible. All right. But that being said, maybe benching him,

01:08sitting him out, maybe that worked. Maybe it worked, woke him up a little bit. They should

01:12get crushed, but I don't think they're going to get 52-10 by Detroit. The game's in Indianapolis.

01:16I think they'll play better. And like I said, he'll put the ball up. He'll do some running here.

01:20I think it gives you a solid fantasy day. So yes, I am starting him this week.

01:25All right. Fair enough. Now, the next player, boy, what a game I had going into Monday night

01:30football. My game was tied, tied, even up at like 120-something a piece. I had Fairbairn,

01:39the kicker of Houston. He had Rico Dowdle. I thought, oh my gosh, I have no chance whatsoever

01:46to win this. George, there's no way I'm ever playing Rico Dowdle. I was happy with the way

01:52that he played. He didn't play well. George, he does not look good at all. This guy is not a

01:55starting running back in the NFL. I understand the quarterback's not great either, and they have

01:59major offensive line issues, but Dallas does not have a running back. This is probably the only

02:06team in the NFL that I'm clear to say, I understand this guy has a pulse. Even in a two-running back

02:13league that you have to play somebody, I just don't know that I'm going to do it, man. I was

02:17not impressed at all. Maybe I missed something. Dallas has running back problems? Boy, Craig,

02:23I wish somebody would have pointed this out at some point this year, at any point this year.

02:28Come on. I mean, yeah, Dowdle's a backup running back. We know that's why everybody's been going

02:32off on Jerry Jones all off-season long. Why didn't Jerry Jones sign Siquon Barkley? Why

02:37didn't Jerry Jones sign Derek Henry? Because, you know, oh, I'm sorry, he brought in Zeke Elliott.

02:43My bad. My bad. All right. So, well, you know, you said it also. I don't think Zach

02:47Martin plays this week for the Cowboys. He's mispracticed or been limited all week.

02:52So I think this could be a problem for Dallas. No, no. As bad as running back is, and listen,

02:56maybe you have no choice, but what is your upside with Dowdle? You're praying for him to get to the

03:01end zone. You probably need him to break something. You know, we're watching this,

03:04screws up, he breaks one into the secondary, and good luck with that. And Dallas, yeah,

03:08they're probably trailing again. Because guess what? They're going to have to throw the football

03:11much more than run it here. Now, he's asleep.
