All right, let's take a look at the running backs here. This is where you got to pick the right one
00:03
to make money on DFS this weekend. All right, so Barkley is at $8,200, but you're not getting
00:09
any discount with Henry. So those are the first two. If you don't choose those and you go down
00:13
to Gibbs, you're counting on $5,700 David Montgomery not coming through. If $5,700 David Montgomery is
00:20
your guy, then you can pay up to get Saquon Barkley or Derek Henry at $8,000, but you're
00:26
not going to be able to have two of these first three. So just forget about that.
00:29
Kyron Williams $6,900, James Cook coming off a huge week at $6,700. Joe Mixon was questionable
00:35
all week long, George. I assume he's going to play today. So $6,500, he is there.
00:41
I think you're only going to be able to afford Barkley or Henry or maybe even Gibbs if you want
00:48
to pair them with David Montgomery, right? Like I think that's the way that you have to go about it.
00:54
Boy, this is a tough one for me. I think for me, it would be Henry at $8,000 among those
01:02
first three. I think that's my safest bet. I don't think Baltimore is getting blown out.
01:07
That tells me Henry is safe. What do you think? I kind of agree with you only because
01:14
it's a tush push. Barkley could lose a touchdown or two to a tush push, right? It's annoying,
01:20
but it's the way that things go about there. But if you want to spend on Barkley, I think he's
01:23
going to have a bad... I don't think you can go wrong on the first two, right? You're taking one
01:26
of them. Once again, whichever one you got or you want, I think Barkley's going to have a big game
01:29
as well. But I tend to lean towards Henry because of that damn tush push. I don't mind Cook either,
01:35
by the way, if you want to go two middling guys. If you wanted to go Cook and Montgomery,
01:39
I could sort of see that. But I think Montgomery will be the short yardage guy at the very least.
01:43
I think Gibbs is going to be a 20 to 20 guy. He's just too good here. I think Montgomery will come
01:48
back and he could be that short yardage guy. Not that Gibbs doesn't do that well. Also, he does,
01:52
but there's got to be some kind of role for Montgomery here. So I like a lot of these guys.
01:55
I like Barkley. I like Henry. I like Gibbs. I like Cook. I probably don't like Montgomery.
02:00
He's a number one starter, but really cheap here. But I think he's going to be big on the
02:05
running backs here this week. All right. How about taking a shot, George? Did we get an update? And
02:11
I'm sorry for not knowing this. Did we get an update on Ray Davis going into this game? Has
02:15
he been declared out or in one way or the other? Anything specific? No. Of course not. They're
02:21
going to keep you guessing on if he's listed as questionable. Let me tell you something.
02:27
Josh Allen loves Ty Johnson, man. He loves Ty Johnson. He's 4,500 this week. I'm just saying
02:35
if I'm putting in a million dollar lineup, I'm throwing in Henry with Ty Johnson on one. I'm
02:43
looking at the rest of this list. No on Gainwell. No on Hill. No on Hunt. Definitely no on Echler.
02:48
Definitely no, by the way, on Brian Robinson. George, Brian Robinson looks cooked right now.
02:52
Doesn't look like he could even move. Yep. Checo may be the best of these options. I think
02:58
Ty Johnson at 4,500 is better than everybody else on this list.
03:02
Might look at Justice Hill, but I agree with you about Ty, by the way, especially if Ray Davis
03:06
can't get that clearance by the independent neurologist here. Might look at Justice Hill,
03:10
but Ty Johnson would be my pick as well.
