00:02 >> Mixon really hasn't been quite what we thought.

00:04 By the way, Davis, I don't know if you saw that game last week,

00:07 Mixon got a ton of chances near the goal line, just couldn't make the most of them.

00:11 >> He got not one, not two, not three,

00:15 four straight carries from the one yard line did not score.

00:21 And this is just one of these classic problems in fantasy, but

00:24 we have all these abilities to measure expected points.

00:27 How many points you should score with this carry?

00:29 How many points you should score with this target?

00:31 And Mixon, because he gets four consecutive carries that are worth,

00:36 I don't know, four and a half, five and a half points or something like that,

00:39 scored 30 expected fantasy points,

00:41 12 real fantasy points in that game against the Arizona Cardinals.

00:45 You're starting Burrow, starting Chase, starting T, starting Mixon.

00:49 If you draft at him, man,

00:51 I would not feel good about having Joe Mixon on my fantasy team.

00:54 Starting Geno, Geno's sort of on that borderline,

00:57 kind of like we talked about with like Cousins and Minshew.

01:00 Like if you have him, fine, probably not a better option on your waiver wire, but

01:04 don't think it's like a great spot.

01:06 Starting Metcalf, starting Lockett, starting Walker,

01:10 probably definitely not starting Jackson Smith and Jigba.

01:13 That's more of like a DFS thing, but I just I am very interested to see if there

01:17 is a change in his role after the bye week.

01:20 Cuz it is and I feel the same way about Jameer Gibbs with the Lions and

01:24 I've got no hope on Gibbs.

01:26 I mean, Gibbs is basically just Niheem Hines for the Lions.

01:29 But just it is crazy to draft a guy in the first round.

01:32 It's a very finite resource that you have there and then just not use him.

01:37 Like it is insane.

01:38 Good teams don't do that.

01:40 You see the Bills, the Chiefs, these guys, they use a first round pick.

01:45 And then they play that guy.

01:46 I mean, Clyde Edwards-Hillaire notwithstanding.

01:49 So we'll see what ends up happening there.

01:51 I guess really the only interesting thing to monitor here is T Higgins is

01:55 probably gonna play.

01:57 He spoke to the media on Friday and he said this rib injury that he has,

02:01 it's just like pain tolerance, pain management.

02:04 But it's not really gonna get any better in season until he can rest for

02:08 like the entire off season.

02:10 So we'll see what happens there.

02:13 I'm starting T this week, but it wouldn't surprise me if his

02:17 effectiveness is diminished as a result of this injury.
