00:00We'll start with the Chargers, pretty murky situation at running back.

00:03There's a chance that they don't have any of their starters because Gus Edwards is out

00:08and as we're doing the show right now, we're not really positive on J.K.

00:11Dobbins.

00:12He's trending in the right direction.

00:13But this could finally be the Kamani Vidal game, but we've done this, I don't know, at

00:17least four times this season, George.

00:19And it never has happened.

00:2117% owned.

00:23You got to have bigger you-know-whats than me to pick up this guy in stardom this week.

00:26I can't do it.

00:28You'd have to be pretty desperate.

00:29Because once again, we're talking, you're talking a championship game here.

00:32What could have happened, you know, that you're going to do this?

00:35All right.

00:36Who do you have starting ahead of him?

00:38That being said, I mean, yeah, theoretically, the matchup's there.

00:41I mean, Gus Edwards is out, got the ankle injury.

00:44J.K.

00:45Dobbins is listed as questionable.

00:46They'll have to make that decision within the next, well, shortly, if he's going to

00:49play.

00:50We don't, we just don't know.

00:51The game starts.

00:52So I don't, I mean, I guess the better question would be this, Greg.

00:56If J.K. Dobbins plays, would you stardom?

00:59No way.

01:00Right?

01:01I mean, right.

01:02No chance.

01:03Right.

01:04They're going to, because let's just say if a game goes like Dobbins plays here, well,

01:05they're both going to get carries.

01:06They're going to cancel each other out.

01:07Who's going to be the goal line guy?

01:08I assume that would be Dobbins.

01:09That's important.

01:10All right.

01:11But we just don't know here.

01:12So no, I'm, listen, I like Vidal.

01:15I think he does have a future.

01:16I did pick him up in a league, but I picked him up weeks ago and I'm not starting him

01:20though this week.

01:21I'm not.

01:22But he's there.

01:23But I don't expect big things.

01:24I mean, listen, New England for all their faults here, they can play some defense here.

01:28Although, you know, you can, you can run on them a little bit here, but I don't expect

01:32big things.

01:33No, I'll pass.

01:34All right.

01:35So running back's another scenario.

01:37I picked up Patrick Taylor last week.

01:38That certainly didn't work out.

01:4049ers are completely cooked.

01:42There's some discussion of James Conner's health going into the game on Saturday.

01:46You know, Michael Carter is an option for them.

01:50I kind of like their rookie running back a little bit better than I like Carter.

01:55Another pass for me, I think, with Arizona.

01:56I mean, look, I understand people are desperate and you have to do desperate things, but this

02:00is not one that I would make.

02:01Yeah.

02:02We were told that Conner's trending in the right direction, right?

02:04So I think he's going to play.

02:06Maybe not his full complement of snaps.

02:07Once again, we are week 17, they're eliminated, they don't have anything to play for, but

02:11I think Conner plays.

02:12I think Arizona would like to do the misery loves company thing.

02:17Arsene Zolotsev would take the Rams down with us here.

02:19So I think he plays here.

02:20Plus, I think you mentioned, I guess, the bag of Trey Benson also looks like he's going

02:25to play or could play.

02:27So that's going to relegate Carter to, I mean, what are you hoping for?

02:30You hope that at least one of these guys doesn't play or gets hurt in the game again?

02:33No, no.

02:34I can't see how this would make any sense where you need this guy.

02:37And how many running backs are you starting here?

02:39You really have to put one in your flex because I can't see him being anywhere near your top two.
