00:00Naji Harris against the Dallas Cowboys.

00:05Now Dallas is missing a couple guys here on the defensive side of the football.

00:09DeMarcus Lawrence goes in the IR, Micah Parsons isn't healthy, but I was very unimpressed

00:14by what I've seen out of Naji Harris so far in the last couple weeks, especially last

00:18week against a defense in the Indianapolis Colts that frankly just isn't very good.

00:23So George, this is a tough one for me.

00:25I don't think you're sitting in Naji Harris, but it does kind of feel like it is a very

00:31underwhelming start right now on the league board.

00:34He is running back 33 on the year.

00:38Now he is still ranked as an RB2, but it just feels like, you know, guys like James Conner,

00:44even Brian Robinson Jr. might be better starts this week.

00:47What are your thoughts on Naji, what you've seen and what he hasn't given you so far from

00:51the Pittsburgh Steelers offense point of view?

00:53Oh my God, James Conner and Brian Robinson are much better starts.

00:56That's not even a discussion.

00:57These are our borderline RB1s here.

01:00Maybe Conner's a little rough because he's playing San Fran and you'll need a touchdown.

01:04As for Harris, and when we say starts, we have to keep in mind here, it depends on what

01:08else you have on your roster.

01:09You know, we don't know that.

01:12I'm probably starting him.

01:13You already said it.

01:14Now that we care about Parsons as far as a run stopper, DeMarcus Lawrence pretty much

01:17is the Cowboys best run stopper here.

01:20There's also a problem with the linebacker whose name I cannot remember.

01:22It's tough.

01:23They're like low, low, low, whatever.

01:24A Hawaiian name.

01:25Good luck trying to pronounce that.

01:28And once again, not that he's great, but the best Dallas has here.

01:31The game could be a slop fest tonight as it might rain there.

01:34Bottom line is this, you'd have to have to be pretty good at running back not to start

01:39Harris tonight.

01:40I don't love him.

01:41I don't, but I'm starting against the Cowboys who can't stop a nosebleed here and no Jalen

01:45Warren means he gets all those touches, right?

01:47So I am more than likely starting Harris tonight, even though I think he's nothing

01:50more than a pedestrian running back.

01:52Yeah.

01:53Also, Patrick Mahomes, the guy that you really have to look at and say, do you want to start

01:56Justin Fields?

01:57Mahomes?

01:58Big rock.

01:59No rushy rice.

02:00Big question.
