00:00All right, let's look at running backs here. So the top two are very simple in Henry and Mixon,

00:04but there's no possible way that you can fit both of those into a lineup. So if you used one,

00:09let's try and find the other. So Dobbins is 6,200. Of course, he's okay. Hasn't been the

00:14same since the injury this season. Warren is 5,200, but you have to guess that he is going

00:18to be the guy for Pittsburgh, because if not, and it's a nodgy game, you're guessing. I mean,

00:24you probably have to just somehow talk to Mike Tomlin before this game to figure that out.

00:29Damian Pearce had that huge touchdown last week, 4,700. Justice Hill at 4,500. So I give you the

00:37chance, George, to pick one of the top two. You can have one, but then we're going to have to

00:41dive into a tougher one after that. Yeah, and you're absolutely right. No,

00:45honestly, I'm going to take Derrick Henry, all right, because I think this game is going to be

00:48focused. Listen, we all think this. It's going to be focused through Henry, the loss of Zay Flowers,

00:52that it's going to be the running game with Henry and Lamar Jackson himself. So that's going to be

00:56it. If we're going to go for a lesser running back here, I mean, boy, obviously not this

01:02less. A little Justice Hill, I guess at 45, maybe I could squeeze him in and go for a double stack

01:07there with Henry and Hill here. Henry Hill, little good fellas for you. I might go with the, great

01:13movie. I think the guy I'm looking at here, I'm not going to roll the dice with the charger

01:18running backs here, as far as the lesser ones or top ones here. Take a look at the other board.

01:24It's not great. Hoskins, then they didn't, they're not going to activate the Zeke today,

01:30by the way, if anybody was wondering, Zeke is not playing. All right. Where is he? He got signed?

01:34I didn't even know that. He got signed by the Chargers. Yeah, he got signed. Wow. I didn't

01:38even know that. Yeah. I guess Jerry Jones was in Zeke. They were right that someone would sign him,

01:43but I mean, it's a little weird that they signed him and he played all year, so he should be a

01:51shit, but he's not going to play today. Then why'd you sign him? I mean, how much do the

01:55officers need to know? I don't know. Whatever. I think Hoskins or Edwards, that's probably where

02:02I'd have to go here if I could afford them here. I'm not going to go Vidal. I don't see anybody

02:06else here. So it's in the mid forties range. Hill, Hoskins, Edwards, take your choice.

02:11I think you're better off throwing the dart at one of those tier three receivers or two

02:16than these. I think I would rather just spend up for the running backs today because I'll just

02:22throw Wallace out there as a possibility on Baltimore than I would Kimani Vidal. By the way,

02:28did fantasy analysts in our community, in our world, spend more wasted time on the name

02:33Kimani Vidal than anyone else all season long? How many times? Now it's time. Now it's time.

02:41It was like 17 weeks. It never happened. This guy's obviously not good. No offense,

02:45Kimani, but I mean, how many chances has this guy had to play? He didn't play and do anything.

02:50Never. He had the opportunities. He definitely didn't. Maybe he'll figure it out. Although

02:56running backs usually they do figure it out right away. It's rare you find a late blooming running

03:00back. Do you know why Kimani Vidal was talked about so much all season long? This is going

03:07to sound horrible, but it's true. I see this all the time in fantasy sports, baseball, football,

03:12basketball. You know why? I'm going to tell you why. If Kimani Vidal's name was John Smith,

03:22he wouldn't have been mentioned the whole entire season. He's got a cool name.

03:25He's got a cool name. That's why fantasy analysts all season long, oh, he's got a Kimani Vidal.

03:30It sounds like a cool name. If his name was, you know who's better than Kimani Vidal and gets no

03:35love at all? Ray Davis. If Ray Davis' name was Kimani Vidal, he'd be the coolest running back

03:41in the NFL. But because his name is Ray Bleepen Davis, he gets no love whatsoever. That guy is

03:4610 times better than Kimani Vidal.
