00:00and I'll see you next time.

00:05Tyler Algier of the Atlanta Falcons.

00:07The shift is on to Bijan Robinson.

00:09That's the only thing I can say at this point.

00:10Bijan has really started to take over

00:13a lot of the volume here.

00:15Algier's numbers really came

00:17through the first five, six weeks of the season.

00:19George, 429 yards.

00:21I guess he's a borderline start,

00:23but I think you're starting to see the transformation

00:25of Atlanta's offense going through Robinson.

00:28Yeah, what took so long, by the way?

00:29We're talking two different regimes, Greg, right?

00:31I mean, the Arthur Smith regime,

00:33they said they even wanted Bijan Robinson last year,

00:36but then even Raheem Moore has taken a little bit here

00:38to realize what a player you have here.

00:40But I agree that the shift does seem to be on.

00:42Hey, maybe they were just monitoring his workload

00:44early in the season, building it up as the season goes along

00:46here, heading into the playoffs.

00:48Algier's a good player.

00:49I think he could start for a lot of teams here.

00:52And he's that player in that league I'm talking about,

00:54one of the leagues I'm talking about

00:55where I need a starting running back.

00:56I need a starting running back, actually two leagues.

00:57I'm debating Algier or Ordzik Estemein,

01:01whatever his name is, on Denver.

01:03Which way do I go here?

01:04And let's face it, I need to touch down Deodorant now.

01:07That's the only way either one's going to pay off.

01:09And they play each other, right?

01:10Yeah, they do play each other this week.

01:11So debating, which one do I go with here?

01:14Odds are I'm going to play it safe,

01:16go one in one league, the other in the other league.

01:19So that's the only way I do it.

01:20If I don't really feel great about either one,

01:22I'll cut the difference, and hopefully it

01:23works out in at least one league.

01:26Estimein, Estimein, you know, we're all family here.

01:30Best pickup on the waiver wire in fantasy football,

01:32he's not quite Puka Nukua, but Kareem Hunt

01:36has five touchdowns this season.

01:38Five off the waiver wire at running back, 449 yards.

01:42I could have had him easily.

01:43What was I thinking?

01:44Kareem Hunt, man.

01:46What a great pickup he was.

01:50I could have traded for him in a league for next to nothing.

01:52I think maybe Josh Downs.

01:54I think that was the player, and I turned it down.

01:57Mistake.

01:58That's a mistake on my part because that's

02:00in a league where I'm thinking about Algiers starting as well.

02:03So if I had Hunt, I wouldn't have a problem.

02:04So he's a start this week.

02:06All right, Pacheco will be back.

02:08So starting next week, we'll see what's going to happen here,

02:12depending on if Pacheco is going to play or not.

02:14We're hearing late November, by the way, is that next week.

02:16It's the week after for Pacheco.

02:17And then it's probably going to be more

02:19of a complementary situation.

02:20And I would think Pacheco might be the touchdown guy.

02:23He's the rougher runner, right?

02:25So we'll see how that works out.

02:26Hunt starts for me this week.

02:28We'll see.

02:30Cortland Sutton, I think this is a pretty easy one.

02:32He's come on lately, 42 receptions, 569 yards,

02:37three touchdowns.

02:38George, he's a rock solid wide receiver three.

02:41I don't think he's ever going to quite be what we thought,

02:43but it definitely seems like Bo Nix has been clicking with him.

02:47Agreed.

02:48He may not be the superstar.

02:49We thought he would be at one time.

02:50He's a good, solid wide receiver three.

02:52You know, he's a flex guy.

02:54And you said it, though, for your first sentence,

02:55he's coming on of late.

02:56Him and Nix have been at a nice little chemistry

02:59going there.

03:00And Nix has been very, very good.

03:01You're playing Atlanta this week, right?

03:03Not exactly the greatest defense.

03:04We know you can score on them.

03:06Yeah, I'm starting Sutton this week.

03:08Like I said, I'm not expecting huge things.

03:10Just give me double digit points.

03:11Touchdown was great.

03:13But I think he's a good, solid start for you.

03:15All right, Quinton Johnson, of course,

03:17he was probably cut by somebody this week.

03:18We talk about this every week.

03:19Quinton Johnson's like the most cut and added player

03:21in fantasy.

03:23Still only 20 receptions for the season.

03:25But he does have five touchdowns, George.

03:27Paces for like eight, nine touchdowns this season.

03:31I think this comes down to this.

03:33If you want to play it safe, you don't start Quinton Johnson.

03:36All right, find somebody else.

03:37But if you need points, you went up against Barkley

03:40yesterday, whatever.

03:41Who are they playing this week?

03:43That's the Bengals.

03:44How many points did the Bengals let up a game?

03:46Like 18,000.

03:47All right, so yeah, I want to start on this week.

03:49Don't get me wrong.

03:50Harbaugh is going to try and run the ball a lot, right?

03:53A lot with Dobbins and Edwards to, once again,

03:55take the air out of the ball.

03:56He doesn't want to get to a shootout here.

03:57But Cincinnati's going to score some points.

03:59Charge is going to have to throw the ball.

04:00Cincinnati can't cover anybody.
