00:00Let's move the conversation here.
00:04Start, sit, and we start at the running back position here.
00:08So if you're a fantasy manager and you have Austin Echler, who has Carolina, or Ty Chandler,
00:12and Joe, you just started to scrape the tip of the iceberg here with what's going on in
00:17Minnesota and their backfill questions.
00:19Minnesota has Detroit.
00:20So start, sit.
00:21Austin Echler or Ty Chandler?
00:22Joe Pizzoppia?
00:23Yeah.
00:24Again, one of these that's very close.
00:26I think I would lean towards Echler in this scenario here.
00:30I like the pass-catching ability for Echler.
00:33Brian Robinson is back in this backfield, so that does make things a little bit cloudier.
00:36But Ty Chandler, as intriguing as he possibly could be in this game, I don't see him necessarily
00:43finishing as an RB1.
00:45So I'd rather take the steady presence of a guy like Echler, who, you know, if you look
00:48at the Echler stats on the year, and a good matchup against Carolina as well, he's been
00:52pretty good.
00:5375% of the snaps last week, 13 touches, 68 total yards.
00:57He had 67% of the snap count.
00:58But that, again, is because of the injury to Brian Robinson.
01:02So he had a little bit more to do.
01:04But he's always going to work in the passing game, too.
01:06Five targets in the last game, I think, against Carolina, you're going to throw the football
01:09on them, too.
01:10This could be a huge, fancy day for all the Washington Commanders against Carolina.
01:14That team continues to give up.
01:16And I think that, you know, that 33 overall rank so far in the year for him is good enough
01:21where you feel confident.
01:22I'd love to see more touchdown equity.
01:23So if you're in a standard league, maybe I'd go with Chandler and hope for the touchdown.
01:28That I understand.
01:30But in any sort of PPR standpoint, I think I still favor Echler.
01:32Try to take the points that way and get out and maybe get lucky and he gets a touchdown.
01:37All right.
01:38Luck.
01:39CM Punk, if anybody minds, luck is for losers.
01:41I think he has a tattoo actually on his arm.
01:44Indianapolis and Miami, Michael Pittman Jr., Green Bay and Houston, Christian Watson here.
01:50Joe, thoughts?
01:52Yeah.
01:53Look, the back of Michael Pittman is not great.
01:56He is going to play just like he did last week, but he's not playing with Joe Flacco
01:59this week.
02:00And so far, Pittman and Richardson haven't gotten on the same page.
02:03Now can the Miami Dolphins defense allow that to happen?
02:06Of course, they're not a good unit.
02:07So you could see a very good day from the Colts offense.
02:10It's possible.
02:11But I like the upside of Christian Watson here.
02:14I finally healthy again, Jordan Love in a game here against the Houston Texans where
02:19I think the Texans will, of course, be very competitive with them.
02:22I like Christian Watson.
02:23I love the touchdown equity.
02:24Now, if you're in the full point PPR too, I understand that, you know, sometimes the
02:28Watson target volume isn't what you want it to be, but I think you have to be more patient
02:31with that.
02:32I think that's something that can grow over time.
02:34Jordan Love has been a guy that has shown you he wants to throw the football.
02:37Just ask Josh Jacobs, who's got, you know, the touchdown total is not what I think he
02:41was hoping it would be by the time we got to week seven, but at the same time, Jordan
02:45Love is going to be aggressive.
02:46That's a good thing for Christian Watson.
02:48I think Watson can exploit some of the holes at times that might develop in the secondary
02:52for Houston.
02:53So give me Christian Watson to make another big play here.
02:55Love the touchdown equity, whereas Pittman again, what is Richardson with Pittman?
03:00We still don't have the answer quite to that question yet.
03:03I'm hoping it's good.
03:04I'm not dropping Pittman.
03:05I'm just benching him this week for Watson.
