00:00All right, let's get to, let's get to the running backs here. Let's start with Saquon

00:07Barkley. The best in the world, 9,300. You have to pay for it. Like he's the best in

00:12the world. That's for sure. Is it worth it? Sure. In cash games, I can understand it,

00:17but it is the Pittsburgh Steelers defense and they are still pretty darn good. And if

00:21you do get the overcompensation where Jalen Hurst needs to start throwing the football

00:25more to AJ Brown, which you may get, you may not get, it feels like it's, it's very

00:30possible, especially in the red zone that maybe you do want to diversify a little bit.

00:34But what I don't understand is this last year, Jalen Hurst had a lot of problems with turnovers

00:38this year. Not so much. You're winning football games. You're at the top of this division.

00:42You're crushing live. Everything is amazing. Why are we bitching and moaning about getting

00:45the football? Shouldn't we be just happy with the W's in the column? I don't know. Maybe

00:49this is a rant that, you know, save for another time. But if I'm the coach and I'm not Nick

00:54Sirianni, although I am Italian, I'm just continuing to give the ball to Saquon Barkley

00:58and tell AJ Brown, guess what? We'll, we'll see you when we see you. When you get open,

01:03we'll throw you the football and we'll try to give you a couple more targets, but you

01:07don't screw with the winner, man. You're winning football games. So I expect Saquon to still

01:11get his regular workload. Derek Henry, he's going to get a workload coming off that by

01:15you imagine once again, that the touchdown equity for him is huge in this game. Maybe

01:19even two touchdowns, maybe even over a hundred yards. There's a lot of props you can bet

01:24on Derek Henry today. And from a fantasy standpoint against the New York giants with

01:27injuries to the defense and the fact that the offense probably is going to keep handing

01:31the ball over and over again via turnover or inefficiency back to the Baltimore Ravens.

01:37You might see Derek Henry not even work in this fourth quarter and still go over a hundred

01:40with two touchdowns. Joe mix in nine K it's been as good as it gets a little cheaper than

01:45the other two. Still a good matchup for him. Devon H and that same game, 8,600 again, that's

01:49kind of the guy quote unquote, don't forget about chase Brown, 8,100. He's more than a

01:54thousand dollars cheaper than most of the guys at the top. And just because the Tennessee

01:58Titans are pretty good defense does not mean that all of a sudden the Cincinnati Bengals

02:00are not going to score. Cincinnati Bengals do one thing. Well, this year they score,

02:04they score fancy points all day long. Joe Burrow has been great. Chase has been great.

02:08And chase Brown has been very effective as well. And last but not least Rashad white

02:12with Bucky Irving's health. You saw Rashad white work some more. You even saw him get

02:17some goal line opportunities last week. I think Rashad white is a guy that you can

02:21invest in again on paper, a tougher matchup, but another guy just like chase Brown can

02:25get you fancy points via the reception as well. So definitely some other options here

02:30on that running back scale this week at week 15. Now that we're back to the full slates

02:34of everybody, which is also a nice return. So a couple other cheap guys, the sincere

02:39McCormick's of the world going to work today. That's another guy. If you're looking for

02:42some salary relief, maybe you can put McCormick along with a Saquon Barkley and that's the

02:47way you offset that cost. And you still get a guy with full workload, basically a McCormick

02:51for the Raiders today.
