00:00Alright, Deeds is asking in the chat, do we flex Brandon Ayuk or Kareem Hunt this week?
00:12I think you have to go with Kareem Hunt.
00:14I think that he has a real big opportunity out there in Kansas City right now, with the
00:21injuries that have happened, and just being in that offense.
00:24And I get, being in that offense isn't the same as it was when he was there the first
00:28time, but I think the opportunities are going to be there.
00:31For Ayuk, they just clearly haven't been.
00:34And so from a talent standpoint, you would assume that Brandon Ayuk on the 49ers, you
00:39would want him over the guy who was on his couch two weeks ago.
00:42But I think the opportunity is there, and obviously Kareem Hunt is the weight, um, is,
00:51he's different than what we saw last year.
00:52He's coming off of an injury last year that I think kind of held him up a little bit.
00:56So I think we saw last week what this guy can be, and actually how good he can be.
01:02And so, I think that when you look at the injuries that are there, and how Steel kind
01:07of fumbled that job away, I think it'll be, at least this week anyway, Hunt and P. Ryan,
01:13to be a couple of interesting pieces, and I think we're going to see, at times, both
01:18of them, because they just don't have the pass catchers out there, to just leave talented
01:23players on the sideline.
01:24So when you look at the creativity of Andy Reid, the talent of Patrick Mahomes, and quite
01:29frankly the talent of Kareem Hunt, I think you have to look at Hunt as an option in this
01:36week.
01:37And yeah, to your point, he looks like he's an RB1 this week, quite frankly.
01:40He is looking like a guy, especially now that we're into bye weeks, he's looking like a
01:44guy that you can feel really comfortable with, not even just in a flex, but in a running
01:49back spot.
01:50He was available, I think, in 37% of leagues.
01:52I would imagine that changed rather aggressively as the waiver period has kind of wrapped up,
01:59but yeah, I think I would go with Hunt there, Deeds, as you look to bounce back from almost
02:05losing to me last week.
02:07You know what?
02:08Vampire League, though, I'm feeling confident this week that I'm going to be able to get
02:11my first win here as I'm facing Geno.
02:13I have my highest projected points of the year, so let's see if we can go out and get
02:17a dub in the Vampire League this week.
