00:02 >> Mixon really hasn't been quite what we thought.
00:04 By the way, Davis, I don't know if you saw that game last week,
00:07 Mixon got a ton of chances near the goal line, just couldn't make the most of them.
00:11 >> He got not one, not two, not three,
00:15 four straight carries from the one yard line did not score.
00:21 And this is just one of these classic problems in fantasy, but
00:24 we have all these abilities to measure expected points.
00:27 How many points you should score with this carry?
00:29 How many points you should score with this target?
00:31 And Mixon, because he gets four consecutive carries that are worth,
00:36 I don't know, four and a half, five and a half points or something like that,
00:39 scored 30 expected fantasy points,
00:41 12 real fantasy points in that game against the Arizona Cardinals.
00:45 You're starting Burrow, starting Chase, starting T, starting Mixon.
00:49 If you draft at him, man,
00:51 I would not feel good about having Joe Mixon on my fantasy team.
00:54 Starting Geno, Geno's sort of on that borderline,
00:57 kind of like we talked about with like Cousins and Minshew.
01:00 Like if you have him, fine, probably not a better option on your waiver wire, but
01:04 don't think it's like a great spot.
01:06 Starting Metcalf, starting Lockett, starting Walker,
01:10 probably definitely not starting Jackson Smith and Jigba.
01:13 That's more of like a DFS thing, but I just I am very interested to see if there
01:17 is a change in his role after the bye week.
01:20 Cuz it is and I feel the same way about Jameer Gibbs with the Lions and
01:24 I've got no hope on Gibbs.
01:26 I mean, Gibbs is basically just Niheem Hines for the Lions.
01:29 But just it is crazy to draft a guy in the first round.
01:32 It's a very finite resource that you have there and then just not use him.
01:37 Like it is insane.
01:38 Good teams don't do that.
01:40 You see the Bills, the Chiefs, these guys, they use a first round pick.
01:45 And then they play that guy.
01:46 I mean, Clyde Edwards-Hillaire notwithstanding.
01:49 So we'll see what ends up happening there.
01:51 I guess really the only interesting thing to monitor here is T Higgins is
01:55 probably gonna play.
01:57 He spoke to the media on Friday and he said this rib injury that he has,
02:01 it's just like pain tolerance, pain management.
02:04 But it's not really gonna get any better in season until he can rest for
02:08 like the entire off season.
02:10 So we'll see what happens there.
02:13 I'm starting T this week, but it wouldn't surprise me if his
02:17 effectiveness is diminished as a result of this injury.
