00:00So Nick Chubb is going to be out for a month.

00:05Jerome Ford is going to carry the load like he did last season for Cleveland.

00:09This time around though, it's pretty dicey honestly beyond Ford until Chubb gets back.

00:14But Ford is a rock solid, what would you say, George RB2 going into the week?

00:18I think that he's starting for you against Dallas, against everybody until Chubb comes back.

00:22And then we'll sort of see how things shake out.

00:25In the leagues that I'm in, Chubb was drafted, by the way, relatively higher than I thought.

00:29Even with missing potentially four games to start the season.

00:33Let you know how desperate we are for running backs, right?

00:35Because you're not only drafting him higher than you probably should, but you're praying that when he comes back, he's good.

00:40Right? And he's actually the Chubb of old, which is asking a lot from a major, major injury here.

00:45We'll see. I hope he does. I'm a Nick Chubb fan.

00:48Hope he is back and is the guy here, but I have my doubts here.

00:52As for Ford, I mean, I don't know if I'd call him rock solid, but he is what he is.

00:57Starting running back, he's going to go in there.

01:00Certainly don't love the matchup tomorrow.

01:02And boy, if Deshaun Watson's not Deshaun Watson, boy, he had some nerves this week saying he's still a top tier quarterback in the NFL.

01:09Sure you are, buddy. Just been three years.

01:11Sure.

01:12There's a reason no one wants you in fantasy.

01:15But we'll see. But there's not a lot to like right now of this Cleveland offense.

01:19We don't know what Watson's going to bring in. No top running back.

01:23No, thank you. I want to stay away if I can.

01:25Yeah, I mean, that's another player to watch is Deshaun Watson to see how he does this week.

01:30Very much a boom or bust candidate in fantasy this season.
