00:00So let's get started here, George. High total in this Eagles Saints game, pushing 50. Eagles,

00:09without a doubt, underachieved last week. How they didn't win that game, I have no idea

00:15against the Atlanta Falcons. Maybe kick a field goal once in a while. Maybe that'll

00:18work. Saints have overachieved in this game. Jalen Hurts is a starter. The running back

00:25position is Saquon Barkley as a starter. Let's get into the Eagles pass catchers here, George.

00:30Are there must-start players outside of Devonta Smith on that offense?

00:35Well, Barkley, of course. Outside of that, I mean, I'm kind of interested in Goddard.

00:42I'm going to have as an anytime touchdown this week. Once again, that's a gut-feel play.

00:45I would not say he's a must-start at all at tight end, but he's probably a top-12 tight

00:49end anyway. But outside of that, no. A.J. Brown is not going to play, so that's awful.

00:57And I think it hurts the whole offense there. So no, outside of him, no. Saints, Shahid

01:03goes, Alave goes, Kamara goes. I mentioned Carr is a borderline, on a 10-team, a borderline

01:09quarterback one here, certainly in any kind of two-quarterback league, you start them.

01:14Now, on the New Orleans Saints, Rashid Shahid, who we illustrated before, is a must-start.

01:19Alvin Kamara, we're dialing it back. He's got to be, what is it, RB1, rock solid right now.

01:25And Carr. Taysom Hill, I saw, got banged up in the last game, George,

01:29and hasn't really been much of a factor yet. Is there any other key factors here?

01:33I know that you still, you know, like Alave a lot, but I'm trying to talk you out of that.

01:39Well, good luck talking me out of that. That's not going to happen.

01:41Not in week three, anyway. I'll go with Alave here. Taysom Hill is, he's questionable for the

01:48game. He's, I mean, if you're starting him, I don't know, what does your tight end situation

01:52look like, that you can't start him? He's not doing anything. They don't need him. They don't

01:56need him to play that gimmick role because their offense is rolling right now. So no, I don't want

02:00Taysom Hill this week here. If you're starting him, I just, did your league start two tight

02:05ends and there's no one else left? You know, that's the way I kind of look at it. There's

02:08got to be a better tight end right now that you can go for with Taysom Hill.
