00:00All right now let's take a look at the running back position in Daily Fantasy

00:03and the highest priced running back this week as he has been for weeks is Saquon

00:06Barkley from the Philadelphia Eagles at 8,600. Derrick Henry is 8,300. Devani

00:11Chain of Miami 7,900. Joe Mixon against Miami 7,800 this week. Everyone loves

00:16Jameer Gibbs from what I see this week in that matchup against Buffalo. He's 7,500.

00:21Chase Brown who's gotten all the carries for the Bengals lately 7,200. David

00:25Montgomery at 7,000. George? I just mentioned you know that everybody likes

00:29Detroit because they think that's gonna be the game plan. All right with Gibbs

00:32and Montgomery run that ball. They each score a touchdown every damn

00:36week. Right I'm probably not gonna go with Barkley this week at all because

00:39Pittsburgh's a good defense here. All right maybe he doesn't get to the end

00:42zone. Didn't get to the end zone last week and we know him at the one-yard

00:45line. They're doing the tush push. Although hey to Siriani's credit

00:48he gave us fantasy owners a chance. All right they got close last week. Barkley

00:52went out at the one-yard line. He got the next chance and didn't get in and then

00:56they did the tush push and scored. All right so he at least he got a shot. I

00:59don't mind Derrick Henry here. It's a Giants. I think a change and all these

01:03guys are good. I'm probably going on this list. I'm probably going with Gibbs.

01:08You know I'm a big on Gibbs as well. I don't mind going Brown either. I don't

01:11mind going Montgomery. They're going to score a touchdown. That's what they do.

01:14And you mentioned Joe Mixon's better in the first half than of late here. But I

01:18think that game's a shootout as well. All right and the second tier of wide

01:22receivers. Jonathan Taylor had a hard time cracking 7,000 all season long.

01:26Still 6,900 this week. James Cook of Buffalo in that matchup that everybody

01:30likes this week with Detroit and Buffalo at 6,800. Conor 6,600. Chuba Hubbard 6,500.

01:36Bijon Robinson 6,200. Rico Dowdle with a nice game last week at 6,100. And then

01:41Isaiah Pacheco at 6,000. Oof tough. As we're going further down it's getting

01:48tougher. Oh you know there are two guys that stand out to me on this list. All

01:52right Hubbard 6,500. We all know the Cowboys can't stop the run right? They

01:56can't do it. And Carolina's playing much better of late. They look like a quality

02:01offense. The best thing that happened to the Panthers might have been that injury

02:03to Dalton. Right when he had the car accident hurt his thumb here. Young

02:07looks good. So him sitting out for a while and then coming back in has

02:11worked out for them. I think Hubbard has a big game against the Cowboys here.

02:13Brian Robinson who hasn't played in a couple of weeks. Listen Jake Hainer is

02:17starting for New Orleans. Washington's going to score a lot of points this game.

02:21It's getting fairly easily. I think Robinson gets it to the end zone here.

02:23And by the way you know if you like Rico Dowdle, and I don't mind if you do, since

02:26week nine only one running back has more rushing yards than Dowdle. And that's

02:30Saquon Barkley. Problem is he doesn't get to the end zone all that much. So just keep

02:33that in mind here. But I love Hubbard and I love Robinson this week. All right now

02:37the final tier. Someone will break out from here. And look there's a lot of

02:40injuries this week too. Speaking of which it's kind of really hard to say how

02:45healthy Bucky Irving is. So maybe you would pivot to Rashad White on DraftKings.

02:49He's 5,800 this week. Also at 5,900 Ramondre Stevenson who's very touchdown

02:56dependent. Travis Etienne at 5,600. Looked really good going into last week

03:00but all of a sudden Bigsby became the guy there. Dick Chubb 5,500. George if

03:06you're gonna pay up for Barkley probably gonna have to use somebody here. Yeah

03:10more than likely. And this is not, this is kind of an ugly list here. Now you're

03:14right. If Irving's out everybody and their mother's taking White right over

03:17here any bad reports. They may have a smaller workload here. Other than that I

03:22mean I think the Giants will try and keep the ball on the ground with Tracy

03:25at first. They're trailing by 88 points and they're gonna go away from that.

03:29Najee Harris is probably the guy I want only because I don't I think this game's

03:33gonna be a lower scoring game and I think the over-under is only 43 or

03:36somewhere around there. So most people are expecting it low scoring. Both of

03:39these teams play slow. They're not looking at the, you know, get up to the line of

03:42scrimmage and snap the football here and they want to run the ball. So I think

03:45Najee Harris would be my choice here unless I hear bad things about Irving.
