00:00Let's start with running backs.
00:04We start with Saquon Barkley, who's listed at 10K this week.
00:08So let's just start right there.
00:10Let's start building rosters and lineups.
00:13More than one, please.
00:14Joe, your thoughts on the running backs for week 12.
00:16Yeah.
00:17I love Saquon.
00:18I mean, how do you not?
00:19But 10K is a lot.
00:20I mean, it just becomes a really difficult situation to roster anybody else.
00:25You know, he's so high up on that trough.
00:27And deservedly so.
00:28Coming off a game where he had 146 rushing yards against Washington, two touchdowns.
00:32I mean, come on, man.
00:33That guy's just been incredible.
00:34I also saw that they added the backwards leap to Madden, which is pretty cool, I gotta say.
00:40That's a very cool thing to be adding to the game.
00:43But Saquon, again, I think you have to fade him.
00:45Now, Christian McCaffrey at $500 less, I think a lot of people will be fading, which is really
00:50interesting because with Brandon Allen at quarterback and Purdy out, you're gonna see
00:54a ton of Christian McCaffrey in this game.
00:56Like, maybe more than we've seen all year.
00:59So that is also something to keep in mind.
01:02He might be an automatic fade based on price and based on that fact.
01:06But if he has a huge monsters game, and let's say he carries them to a victory over the
01:11Green Bay Packers, which I don't think is an absurd thing.
01:14I think everybody, I have called them the Friday Niners going back to August.
01:18I have said fade the 49ers every chance you get.
01:22But this could be one of those perfect storms here where everybody counts them out.
01:26They're coming off a terrible loss at home, blah, blah, blah.
01:28But let's be honest, the Green Bay Packers snuck away with a win last week and the Green
01:31Bay Packers have not looked like world beaters and they've got injuries of their own on the
01:35defensive side.
01:36Like Alexander, they got a ton of stuff that they're dealing with to or life is not perfect
01:40for the Green Bay Packers right now.
01:42And I think people are overrating this a little bit.
01:44I'd be on the 49er side with the points in this game, to be honest with you.
01:48But Christian McCaffrey, because of that salary becomes a really interesting, you know, pivot
01:53in the sense of a premium guy.
01:56Joe Mixon has been really solid, obviously, for the Houston Texans.
01:58It's amazing to think that they got him for a seventh round pick.
02:01I mean, talk about a win for this organization.
02:04Jameer Gibbs, who I mentioned earlier, I think this is the best return on investment, high
02:07end price, but not ridiculously premium.
02:11Kareem Hunt, Checo's not back yet.
02:13I keep telling everybody, the guy's coming off a broken leg.
02:17This whole notion that...
02:18I just...
02:19I love how sobering your analysis is.
02:23No, you're right.
02:24No, dude.
02:25People are annoyed at me because I tell the truth about things, right?
02:29They get pissed off because sometimes the truth isn't sunny.
02:33The guy had a broken leg.
02:34Do you think he's going to come back and get a full workout at 20 calories?
02:36Do you have any idea how the human body works and what the NFL is about?
02:40And people talk about, oh, I'm worried about Kareem Hunt this week.
02:44Really?
02:45You're not worried about Kareem Hunt this week?
02:46I don't know why you're worried about Kareem Hunt this week, because it's a terrific matchup.
02:50It's a matchup you want to be playing.
02:51I don't understand it at all.
02:54But yeah, I mean, against Carolina, one of the worst teams against a run.
02:57I mean, you've got to play Kareem Hunt this week.
02:59They should have a lead in this game.
03:01So you should see a ton of volume.
03:02And I know he's not the most efficient guy.
03:04But Kareem Hunt, Tyrone Tracy, Jameer Gibbs, again, you're gonna see a lot of Tracy.
03:08We'll get you updated on Malik Neighbors here a little later in the show.
03:11But Tracy and other guys, 6,700, a very good value.
03:14So Gibbs, Hunt, Tracy, I think that's where I want to live this week in the DFS running
03:18back group.
03:19But I mean, it's great.
03:20And people are like, they're so surprised.
03:21I can't believe Isaiah Pacheco's not back yet.
03:22Really?
03:24At some point in time, you're going to see him get 25 carries in a game.
03:26He didn't get that when he was healthy.
03:27Stop it.
03:28It's just ridiculous.
03:29Stop it.
