00:00All right, so let's pivot over and try and figure out what we're going to do at running back here and definitely I would say very solid four or five options to begin.
00:10Saquon Barkley is one of the highest priced players in the entire weekend. He's $8,500 for Philadelphia, followed by Jacob $7,700 for the Packers.
00:18I have a feeling that Bucky Irving is going to be the most used running back. I mean, look at his price, $7,000. He's been fantastic for them.
00:26But, you know, George, that's the kind of thing where if you're playing head to head, maybe so, but in a tournament, I would feel his usage is going to be very high.
00:33Cook $6,700. And I think I'd consider Robinson a $5,800, but the rest of this list is fairly weak here.
00:41Javante Williams is a hope every week and doesn't seem to deliver. $5,100. Rashad White, maybe a goal line carrier to $5,000.
00:52I'm going with James Cook. I think the game plan tomorrow for the Bill is going to be Cook. All right. Well, Allen, of course, but Cook and Allen here.
01:00I think it's going to be the game plan here. How to attack this defense here. They're very good. The screen passes here. Cook's had a fantastic season.
01:06That's who I'm going with. I wouldn't touch Robinson with a 90-foot pole. He has been awful of late. He keeps getting replaced in these games.
01:14All right. He does. He is the starting running back and he doesn't get anything done. And they go with Eckler Rodriguez.
01:20Hell, they might break out John Riggins at a retirement here. So, no, I'm not going anywhere near Robinson.
01:26Someone who had him on his fantasy team at the end of a couple of fantasy teams at the end of the season. That didn't work out well at all.
01:31Very disappointing. I'm not touching Robinson. But Cook is the guy I'm looking at here. And I agree with you about Irving, by the way.
01:36A lot of people are going to sort of select down to him. I would select down to Cook. That's why I'm going one below.
01:42I think it's really going to be built through James Cook tomorrow for the Buffalo Bills.
01:47All right. And now some other options at running back. And these are the Tier 2 options. Players that aren't necessarily going to see a lot of playing time.
01:54So, you'd be guessing here. Emmanuel Wilson, 4,900. Jaleel McLaughlin, 4,900. Eckler has been hurt and phased out of Washington's offense.
02:04Ray Davis, maybe, possibly, 4,700. Gainwell, 4,600. And then we have a couple of options below that of players who generally are not playing all that much.
02:14Is there a dart throw here, George, for you? Is there a running back that you could see stealing a touchdown?
02:20Is it Davis at 4,700? Is it McLaughlin, who I got to tell you at times looks a lot better than Javante Williams?
02:28Sometimes he's much more a part of that game plan, too, which is why he's only 200 less than Javante.
02:33I think if you're looking at this list, you either have to go to McLaughlin or Eckler because they will play.
02:38These are not just guys. I mean, Wilson's only going to play when Jacobs needs a rest, right?
02:42I am somewhat interested in Davis as well, but I do think a funnel is through Cook.
02:46But Davis will get a series here and a series there to play. Maybe you get lucky and he gets into the end zone.
02:51That's what we're looking for here. Who can get into the end zone here?
02:54I think it's your guy. I think it's McLaughlin. It's that guy I'm probably going to have to go with because I think he, as you said, he's played better than Javante at times here.
03:02We haven't seen a lot from Estime. It's a crapshoot because I think with Denver, it's whichever running back is playing better at that time.
03:09Is it Javante? Is it McLaughlin? Is it Estime? So you sort of have a 33 percent chance.
03:14They may be slightly higher with McLaughlin. I think McLaughlin is the guy I would roll the dice with.
03:18All right. Fair enough. You know, we got a lot of other options to go over here.
03:22We actually I think if I was going to pay for one of these McLaughlin, maybe I think that I'd pass.
03:32Let me show me the first one, Sam. I think what I would do is I would if I'm playing head to head, I'd use Bucky Irving.
03:38If I'm playing in a tournament, I'm going Jacobs at seventy seven hundred because I just know that he is the guy for the Packers.
03:45Like that's a foregone conclusion. They don't even take him out of the game, basically.
03:49So seventy seven hundred for me there. And then on the second list, I think that I would go and throw my dart at Ray Davis.
03:57I think that's what I would do. Hopefully get the goal line carry, something like that.
