00:00And it looks like Austin Eckler may have played his last down for a while, hopefully not really

00:10great guy and rooting for him, but another concussion, unfortunately, George back to

00:14the waiver.

00:15Why are we going with Jeremy McNichols?

00:16He's a player that I've had, I think three different times this season, I'm 12% owned

00:23in fantasy.

00:24I think I'm going to pass though here.

00:26I've had him enough to know that unless he scores a touchdown, you cannot play this player.

00:33And even with Robinson out, it seemed like Eckler was the guy.

00:36McNichols has a firm role on the team, but don't think he's startable in fantasy.

00:44I am the exact same as you, by the way, but I have had him on several teams this year

00:47and then you move on.

00:48Right.

00:49He is that guy.

00:50He is touchdown deodorant.

00:51You're going to need to score to get in there.

00:53Tennessee, by the way, is ninth best when giving up points to, uh, to running backs.

00:58They do handle the running game fairly well here.

01:00So maybe it's not a big game for Robinson either, by the way.

01:03And Roberts are coming up with the ankle injury.

01:04I might be a little bit worried that he can't, doesn't have the same burst or can't make

01:07the full game here.

01:08So I guess McNichols could get extra calories there, but you're still going to need that

01:11touchdown here to really pay off here.

01:13So I'm with you.

01:14I do.

01:15I find it interesting, more interesting once again, if Robinson would have been hampered

01:18and not going to play a 50, 50 role here, but other than that, I do not want to start

01:23All right.

01:24Same could be said for Curtis Samuel, who figured to have a bigger role with, uh, one

01:29of their wide receivers hurt, uh, Keon Coleman, but right now Coleman appears to be back.

01:35I had to move him off my injured reserve.

01:37I know this week.

01:38So that tells me that he's expected to return in that Sunday night snow game, 185 yards

01:43on the season and one touchdown, 14% owned in fantasy.

01:47Uh, Amari Cooper also has been banged up, but look, I just don't think Samuel is a pickup

01:52right now.

01:53Unless one of those two guys are out.

01:55Yeah.

01:56Now you mentioned, uh, it's supposed to snow fairly heavily.

02:00I'm looking now, snow showers during the game.

02:02I don't know what showers means, but they're calling up about what a foot or two feet of

02:06snow before the, uh, before the game.

02:08How was this?

02:09How was this drops during the game?

02:10Who knows?

02:11But no, I'm not going with Curtis Samuel.

02:12I don't know if they'll be able to throw the balls more.

02:14Right.

02:15It could be a complete nightmare.

02:16It could be a James, a big James Cook game.

02:17I'll show up past out of the backfield and maybe it's a big Shakir game.

02:20I can see that as well here.

02:22I don't want Samuel for me.
