00:00So the name is Isaac Garendo. That's the number one name on the waiver wire, and who would have thought this late in the season, it's the most important. 76% owned, this will be almost 100 by the time the game kicks off on Sunday.
00:12So what are we going to learn, George? We're going to learn as to all of these things that we have been discussing.
00:18The old Denver Broncos adage, a different Shanahan coaching that team, right?
00:22It was Mike Shanahan. It was Terrell Davis. It was Mike Anderson. It was Olandis Gary. It was Ruben Drones. Do you remember all these names?
00:32It didn't matter, George. It did not matter. It was whoever's name is the running back in Denver was really good in fantasy.
00:41Is this going to happen with Isaac Garendo?
00:46I think Garendo is going to do some damage. Yeah. All right. Listen, I think he's going to be fantastic. San Fran has other problems.
00:52Like I said, Trent Williams, who's questionable, if he can't go, then I don't know if I'll be playing Garendo.
00:57I think Trent Williams is a huge loss for San Fran. Outside of Purdy, I think he may mean the most to that offense here.
01:04I'm trying to look up how many points Chicago. Chicago is about mid-pack as far as giving up fantasy points to a running back.
01:10All right. So it is what it is here. I think a Trent Williams plays. I think Garendo does damage. I do.
01:15I think he'll get you double digit fantasy points. Good chance for a touchdown. So you look at, I think, in the 12 to 16 point range here.
01:21That being said, I think he gets a longer run than maybe a normal third string.
01:26We have seen him earlier in the year. He did look good. I think he'll get at least a couple of series before they go.
01:31All right. This guy sucks. We go to the next guy, Patrick Taylor. All right. Or someone like that.
01:35So I think he gets a couple of series to prove he can do it. So he gets up to a nice start here.
01:39I think he's the guy you want. Like I said, I expect 70 rushing yards, a couple of catches here, another 20 yards.
01:45Like I said, if you get to the end zone, you get your 16. If he doesn't get to the end zone, I think you're looking at 10 to 12.
01:49Yeah, it could be. And if not, as you mentioned, Taylor, who's only 5% owned.
01:53And then there's a player on their roster that's like 1% owned. His name, George, is Israel Abanekanda.
02:00Israel Abanekanda. Believe it or not, that guy in 16 team leagues and in dynasty leagues is picked up.
02:07He was picked up in my dynasty league, George. Why? Because again, this narrative that whoever runs for San Francisco is the guy to own.
02:16He was off the Jets practice squad. We will see if he makes an impact in this game.
02:20But maybe a dynasty league is the way to go there.
02:22Meanwhile, the Chargers suffered a big loss with J.K. Dobbins being out.
02:26And now Gus Edwards gets his chance again to shine.
02:30But those are the very meager numbers on the season. 238 rushing yards.
02:37That's not for a couple of weeks. That's for the whole year.
02:40And two receptions, not going to catch the ball. One touchdown.
02:44We talked before the season about this player, Kimani Vidal.
02:48I know a lot of the fantasy analysts are still holding out hope.
02:51They're running out of time, though, George, here for him to play.
02:54You watched that game last week, Chargers and Atlanta. It was an ugly game.
02:58Edwards may have only had 30 yards, but it came on six carries.
03:01So he actually was doing damage here. They just didn't win the ball enough for whatever reason here.
03:05So I think Edwards can be OK. Do I think he's going to be Dobbins? No, I don't.
03:09You also want to make sure McConkie plays on Sunday night versus Kansas City as well.
03:14Without McConkie, the team's going to look to stop the rushing attack more.
03:18So I think he can be OK. Listen, of all the bats we've talked about and how much trouble we're in,
03:22if Gus Edwards is out there, I'd be happy. I would be happy to take Gus Edwards.
03:26Because we're talking about bottom of the bottom here. But I'll take my chance with Gus.
03:29He's not out there in my league either. So there's nothing I can do about him.
03:32If Vidal's out there, yeah, I'm probably claiming him, too.
03:34Once again, you're hoping. You're hoping to find the right guy.
03:37It's all we're doing here is hoping to find the right guy.
03:39There's no way he's going to tell you, oh, this is the guy you want. No.
03:42There's like six, eight guys here that we can talk about, and you're hoping you get the right one.
03:46We all need the touchdown deodorant. That's what's going to save us.
03:49All right. Let's go to Jacksonville here.
03:52Tank Bigsby, who was doing so well, by the way, before he got hurt and before their bye week,
03:56came back with not much of an impact last week, although his numbers at the end of the season
04:01are going to look like a guy for next year, George. Four touchdowns, 547 yards, but limited on carries.
04:07I do wonder if he gets a little bit more of a look this week,
04:11but their quarterbacking situation isn't the best.
04:14I know Mac Jones played very well in the second half last week.
04:17I have Bigsby. I'm having a hard time putting him in my starting lineup.
04:21I would take a shot with Bigsby, by the way. I would hope Mac Jones continues to play well.
04:25Tennessee laid down last week against Washington. I know it was on the road, but they laid down,
04:29so there is a chance for Jacksonville to do some damage this week.
