00:00Oh, let's start with a quarterback, James Winston, dude.
00:07He is available in seven out of 10 leagues.
00:10Should I be picking him up?
00:12Look, the weather might be tricky, but at the same point, you have to look at the stats
00:17and the chief secondary so far has not played well.
00:20The last couple of weeks they've allowed the 12 highest yards per attempt, the eighth most
00:23passing touchdowns and the seventh highest passer rating.
00:27So it's a good matchup on paper.
00:30Last six starts.
00:31He's finished at QB 10, QB 7, QB 1, QB 12.
00:34So he's right in that QB 1 conversation.
00:36We mentioned CJ Stroud, like a guy that, you know, name brand value, name recognition coming
00:41off a huge season, took the Texans to the playoffs, won a lot of people fantasy championships
00:45last year.
00:46He hasn't had the same season.
00:47Winston's out there.
00:49It's a good matchup.
00:50I know the weather's tricky, but at home, I think I would still lean towards James Winston,
00:54especially if I needed to roll the dice with points.
00:57And considering Thursday night football was such a bust, right?
01:00I don't think most teams are looking and saying, oh no, I'm incredibly far behind right now
01:04because of the scoring bonanza that happened on Thursday night football between the Rams
01:08and the 49ers.
01:10What a horrendous start to fantasy playoffs for so many people.
01:14You think about it, Cooper cup with a goose egg, Kyron put up like a 12 spot.
01:19I mean, it was absolutely brutal there for everybody involved.
01:23So chances are you're looking right now that you still have this window to very much compete.
01:27And Winston gives you that.
01:29If he's available, I pick him up, not starting him over the, you know, the top quarterbacks
01:33in the league.
01:34I'm not going to start them over Jalen Hurds or Lamar Jackson or something stupid like
01:37that.
01:38But I will say this, if you're looking at, you know, Jordan Love or Jameis Winston, I
01:43mean, I get wanting to start Jameis Winston.
01:46It's very close.
01:47If you're looking at Anthony Richardson or Winston, I think I'd rather start Winston
01:50too.
01:51All right.
01:52This next player on the list is a 36% rostered for Las Vegas, Sincere McCormick.
01:58Now, does this mean I can assume no trick plays, no flea flickers, everything just straight
02:02up the middle kind of thing, but all kidding aside, he's going to get the bulk of the work
02:07here for Las Vegas.
02:09Should I be picking him up, Joe?
02:10Look, he took over the backfield last week, 59% snap rate, 64% snap rate in the red zone.
02:15That's important too.
02:16That's scoring equity, 17 touches, 89 total yards.
02:21It was an impressive performance for a guy, you know, off the practice squad.
02:24And it doesn't seem like the Raiders are really interested in too much else.
02:29He's still an RB2 or flex guy, you know, depending on the depth of your league.
02:33But I think what you're seeing is every week he gets a little bit more comfortable.
02:37And last week, the 15 for 78, pretty comfortable.
02:40He's not going to get more than two or three targets, so he's not going to help you too
02:42much in the passing game.
02:44We'd like to see him get in the end zone.
02:45His first touchdown will be great.
02:46This is Monday night again against Atlanta.
02:49As a flex guy, if you had some injuries in a full PPR, I'd be looking more at the Adam
02:53Thelans of the world to flex.
02:55But if you are really desperate and it's a deeper league and sincere McCormick or Tyrone
02:59Tracy, I think I would play McCormick.
03:00The volume has been there.
03:01I think the touchdown equity might be greater too, because that matchup that Tracy has is
03:05just tough against that Baltimore Ravens front.
