00:00So now to the running backs, and we have two stories to tell here with the running backs.

00:03First, we'll tell you the DFS story, and then George and I have to comment here on what Eric

00:08Dickerson had to say. But first, let me give you the pricing. So Barkley is the highest-priced

00:13running back of the season this week. He's 8,600 this week over on DraftKings, followed by Josh

00:18Jacobs, who probably is almost, I mean, close to as good with all the touchdowns. He scores 8,100.

00:23Jonathan Taylor, 7,900. Devon Achain, 7,700. Alvin Kamara, got to stay away from him with

00:29the injuries. James Cook, 7,200. And by the way, nothing wrong with Chuba Hubbard at all. This guy

00:34has been great. I mean, Chuba Hubbard's going to be, what, second-round pick in fantasy next year?

00:377,000, maybe even first. 7,000 on DraftKings. But quick, before we get to Saquon Barkley,

00:44George, what do you make of these comments from Eric Dickerson, who, when, I mean, you and I are

00:50more or less the same age. You're a little bit older than me. But when I was growing up, like,

00:53Eric Dickerson was the man. Like, this was the running back to not get in the way of.

00:58But, you know, he was always different. You know, played with the Rams. And it, you know,

01:03wasn't good enough for him. He held out, I think, so he could go somewhere else. He ended up going

01:06to the Colts. Wasn't as good with the Colts, but still pretty good. And then he was, like,

01:11bouncing around. He went to the Raiders, if you remember, too, at the end of his career.

01:15But he was a star, over 2,000 yards, broke the rushing record. And then he tells the LA Times

01:20he does not want Barkley winning the rushing title this year. He doesn't want it. He wants

01:25to hold it for himself. I'm glad he's honest, but I'm surprised he said that in public. Like,

01:30Barry Sanders, a few weeks ago, he said, I hope Ashton Janty breaks all of my records

01:35in college. I don't care. I kind of applaud him for being honest, Craig. You know, it's like,

01:41a lot of these guys, oh, yeah, I hope he breaks my record. I mean, come on, really? You hope he

01:45breaks your record? No, not always. It's like when you play poker. You know, I'm playing poker,

01:50Craig and Sam. I go all in. Oh, good luck, Craig. Yeah, like, I really mean good luck. Good

01:54luck, Craig. I hope you eliminate me so I get to go home and do nothing. It's all lies here. But I'm

01:59surprised he said it publicly, as you said. Listen, even if Saquon does break it, it doesn't

02:05mean he's any better than you. Craig, Eric Dixon was great. Absolutely great. For those who don't

02:09know, he wore the neck roll, the goggles there. He was very distinctive in his play. He was

02:13fantastic. He was big. He was strong. And once he got in the open, he was gone. And the team

02:17wasn't really good. No, they weren't. But he was. He was fantastic. He does deserve to be

02:24in the Hall of Fame, Craig. Who, Dickerson? Yeah. He's been in there for 20 years. Probably

02:29Brockley, too. Yeah. We'll see if Brockley. All right. In this office, I think I have Eric

02:35Dickerson sign something. I don't know. I'll see if I can find it during the break. All right. Here

02:39are the other running backs. Go to the other one, Sam. Bucky Irving, 6,700. Pollard, 6,400.

02:44Brees Hall, yuck. Can't do it. Doesn't look right. Aaron Jones, I could get behind, 6,200.

02:49Dowdle, 6,000. Ford, 5,900. Tyrone Tracy, missed some practice, but he's probably going to play,

02:555,800 this week. My favorite one is Jones. My favorite one would be Bucky Irving. I've been

03:00all over him on this show here. If not Irving, I think Ford could be a sneaky play, right?

03:04Miami could be a play there. Tyrone Tracy, I don't mind. I think it's going to be a blowout

03:09game. They will try and run the ball here, but if I'm teams, I'm just stacking the box. I don't

03:15care about Drew Locke. That's my only issue there here. I like Aaron Jones as well. Revenge game,

03:20again. I do think a ton of points are coming in that game. And finally, the low-end running backs

03:25here. Rashad White, 5,700. Maybe Madison is the only one on this list I'd consider at 5,600 just

03:31for the touchdown. Kendri Miller looked brutal. Tajay Spears. Etienne probably now plays over

03:37after that big fumble for Bigsby. And then Amir Abdulla, he's not doing that. So

03:42Madison's the only one for me, and I'm counting on the touchdown.

03:46I was going to follow it. He's banged up here. Spears could be a play. Once again,

03:49we took a team running back. You're trying to hit a dartboard, right? A bullseye here.

03:53I might look at Tajay Spears.
