00:02 The first thing again,
00:04 you're gonna realize about this slate is we,
00:06 we do have Saquon Barkley and we do have Alvin Kamara.
00:09 Kamara is the most expensive he's been all year.
00:11 He's up at 8,100.
00:12 I slightly prefer Barkley at 7,900 with Daniel Jones back.
00:17 Saquon Barkley, Craig's got 41 touches last week.
00:22 36 rushes, five targets, only caught three of them.
00:26 Five targets for zero yards, by the way.
00:29 I just don't, I mean, that is so,
00:32 that is just so much volume.
00:34 It's very hard for me to look past it.
00:36 After that, after those two,
00:38 I think you have like legitimate concerns
00:40 about the workload for all of these guys.
00:43 I mean, I guess you don't have any concerns
00:44 about Tony Pollard's workload.
00:45 He's been, you know, 80, 85% of the snaps for the Cowboys,
00:49 but the guys, he's just freaking Joe Mixon now.
00:52 I mean, Tony Pollard is just now turned
00:54 into the running backs that I hate, Craig.
00:56 He's Josh Jacobs, he's Joe Mixon, he's Najee Harris.
00:59 He's Ezekiel Elliott, where he's got no burst, no efficiency.
01:03 It's all just about total volume.
01:06 He's down at 6,400, the least expensive
01:09 he has been all year long.
01:12 It's a little strategy we refer to
01:14 in the gambling world as Martin Galing,
01:16 which is just that if you keep doubling down
01:18 every time you lose,
01:19 eventually you have to get back to even,
01:21 assuming that your stash doesn't go to zero.
01:24 So I am Martin Galing Tony Pollard a little bit here.
01:27 I think that, I mean, one, he is gonna play
01:29 about 80% of the snaps.
01:31 He's gonna get some work in the passing game.
01:33 The guy I am most bullish on is going to be
01:36 B. John Robinson in this game
01:38 against the Minnesota Vikings.
01:40 I think not only are the Falcons favored,
01:42 I think they cover that spread.
01:44 And to the credit of Arthur Smith,
01:46 and Craig, you know, I don't ever wanna give
01:48 Arthur Smith any credit.
01:49 He did actually rectify the mistake of B. John's,
01:52 you know, the headache problem from two weeks ago.
01:54 He actually played a season high in snaps last week.
01:58 He, I mean, they were trailing in that game,
02:01 so it didn't amount to anything,
02:03 but he got 11 rushes,
02:04 obviously average over five yards per carry
02:06 because he's B. John Robinson,
02:08 and he's incredible, five targets in the passing game.
02:11 He's 6,100.
02:12 I actually think, Craig, that people have now put B. John
02:16 in the Drake London, Kyle Pitts bucket
02:19 where they just hate him because they hate Arthur Smith.
02:21 They're like, "Oh, I'm never taking Kyle Pitts.
02:23 "I'm never taking Drake London.
02:24 "I'm never taking B. John Robinson
02:26 "'cause Arthur Smith is just gonna jerk me around."
02:29 But I don't think that is 100% true with B. John.
02:32 I think he is a crucial part of their game plan,
02:35 and I think he scores 20 or more fantasy points this week.
