00:03 - Regardless, I did a TikTok this week.

00:05 And the subject of that TikTok was,

00:08 hey, I know everybody loves David Montgomery this week,

00:11 but at the same time, I love Jameer Gibbs.

00:14 And I have a hot take there that I think Jameer Gibbs

00:16 finishes ahead of David Montgomery this week

00:18 in terms of points, because Seattle,

00:20 at a really rough time,

00:21 stopping anything through the air last week.

00:23 And if you listen to some of the coach speak as well,

00:25 we want to get Jameer Gibbs the ball more.

00:26 Well, of course you do,

00:27 'cause he was explosive and fantastic.

00:29 Yes, let's do that.

00:30 So I'm excited.

00:31 I can't believe I'm saying this.

00:32 I'm excited for the Lions offense.

00:33 I'm just excited about it.

00:35 So do you think Jameer Gibbs can live up

00:38 to the Joey P TikTok hot takeness?

00:40 - Oh, Delali, we're in a great spot today, baby.

00:45 I love it.

00:46 Jameer Gibbs, yes, I've got him ranked as an RB1, people.

00:49 He's inside of my top 12 backs.

00:50 I'm with you, Joey.

00:51 Let's ride, baby.

00:53 Seattle versus pass-catching running backs have been,

00:57 this is a defense that cannot stop anything

00:59 with their zone coverage,

01:01 much less pass-catching running backs.

01:03 Over the last three to five seasons,

01:05 they have been bottom 10 in everything

01:07 versus pass-catching running backs.

01:09 Two years ago, legendarily bad.

01:11 Like, if you could look over the last 15 years,

01:14 and this has been one of the worst defenses

01:16 versus receiving backs.

01:17 So yes, this is going to be the coming out party.

01:20 Jameer Gibbs is going to have himself a day.

01:22 Let's go, Joey.

01:24 Top 12 running back on the week.

01:27 Absolutely love it.

01:28 Let's go.

01:28 Actually, I want to know what you think of this,

01:30 'cause it's not that I don't like Montgomery at all,

01:32 'cause Montgomery has touchdown equity.

01:34 But I have one or two lineups this week

01:36 that have Gibbs and Montgomery,

01:38 because the price is so sweet.

01:40 I guess I can't say no.

01:41 Do you think that's an interesting way

01:43 to be responsibly different, as I like to put it out there?

01:46 'Cause I don't like being different

01:47 just for the sake of being different,

01:48 but when it comes to making money, I'm all for it.

01:50 What do you think about that combination

01:51 of those two guys here?

01:53 Like, I've got one or two lineups

01:54 that's just complete bangles, just smash,

01:57 like T. Higgins, Jamar Chase, and Joe Burrow,

01:59 let's go kind of stuff.

02:00 What do you think about Gibbs and Montgomery together

02:02 at that cheap price to get up to getting a lineup

02:05 that's got Amon Raw and Chase and Mahomes in it?

02:07 'Cause you could do that if you fade

02:08 and get into the Detroit backfield.

02:10 I think it's definitely a way to be different.

02:13 I'm not against it, because when you're setting lineups

02:16 and stuff, and we're talking about

02:17 how you're approaching DFS roster building,

02:20 you're telling yourself a story about how the game goes.

02:23 So all Joe is gonna tell himself a story about is,

02:25 okay, all the touchdowns go through the ground game,

02:30 or if they go to the passing game,

02:32 it's all to the running backs.

02:33 And that's a perfectly viable story to tell yourself.

02:36 I mean, like, what do we have to do?

02:37 Last year, DeAndre Swift was a huge red zone weapon

02:41 for Detroit, as well as Jamal Williams was top five

02:45 in basically every carry metric inside of the money zone,

02:49 inside of the 20, the 10, the five.

02:51 So could that happen today?

02:53 Yeah, absolutely.

02:54 If you're gonna go that route,

02:56 then you're fading Amon Ross St. Brown.

02:59 You're fading Sammy Ballgame, Sam Laporta.

03:02 As long as your lineups are correlating in that sense

03:04 and saying, okay, all the touchdowns go here,

03:07 then I don't care about the other parts or pieces,

03:09 'cause if this game fails, fails,

03:12 then the running backs eat.

03:14 Yeah, I'm totally on board with that, Joe.
