Let's take a look at the top running back options going into the final week of the season week 18
00:05
and a lot of players not playing so I got to keep an eye on this two in particular stand out to me
00:09
the first is right at the top in Saquon Barkley the other near the bottom in Kyron Williams who
00:14
have been really good all season long but you do not want to play those players you have Bijan
00:19
Robinson he would be the highest price from there 8,500. Oh we mentioned the Indianapolis Colts our
00:24
first mention of them here on the show are they the most anonymous team honestly in the NFL like
00:28
we do not talk ever about the Colts here uh Taylor boy he has got to feel bad about the season George
00:34
that one play I don't know I mean hate to put the season on one play but it sure feels like that's
00:39
what happened with them uh Jacobs a fantastic play if he plays a lot at 8,100 Bucky Irving the same
00:45
he's been on unbelievable 7,700 as I mentioned Williams is a no-go uh Joe Mixon has really
00:52
slowed down George at the end of the season you're hearing a lot of like whispers like oh boy
00:57
uh we've reached the end with Joe Mixon I'm not sure here and I'm not sure what Houston's
01:00
motivation is so I'm going to sit him too so what do you got here would you pay up for Robinson
01:05
or you go down to Bucky Irving or Josh Jacobs what do you got I probably I'm going to save
01:12
money I'm not going Josh Jacobs all right it's funny how LaFleur came out and said oh yeah we're
01:15
going to play all our stars and Jacob said I don't see myself touching the ball that much
01:19
okay I'm gonna assume Jacob's telling the truth there so I'm not touching Jacobs Irving is the
01:24
guy I want as I have no problem with John Robinson if you want to pay up for it but I'll
01:28
save some bucks here on this let's not go Bucky Irving once again Tampa Bay has to win this game
01:32
Irving's been great I don't see any reason why they're not scoring 28 you know that's going four
01:37
or five touchdowns tomorrow Irving's getting in the end zone so is Evans by the way so give me
01:41
give me Bucky Irving good Tampa stack tomorrow right okay so uh I was just doing some research
01:47
here real quick at this what's the story with the Saints I saw I think it was on Wednesday
01:52
that that Rizzi said that maybe Kamara and Olave would be back in this game was that is that
01:57
possible I mean Kamara's price at 7,300 why would they even do that uh anyway the Saints offense
02:03
looks like right now right now George going the worst in the NFL I'm not kidding they look worse
02:08
than anybody right now so I we got to get an update on his status uh A-chain 7,200 uh Cook
02:15
7,000 Charbonnet 6,700 eh Brees Hall boy he's down to 6,500 we saw not the season we thought he
02:23
would have uh J.K. Dobbin 6,300 uh how about Pollard here oh is Pollard done is he done for
02:29
the season 6,200 no he's up he's he's available to play uh Kamara by the way he's downfield so
02:35
he's probably not playing Chris Olave we'll find out I think by 4 p.m eastern today right they got
02:39
they have to activate him he's going to play he has to be activated to a fire so we'll know in a
02:43
few hours here uh not that I'm starting either one right Kamara's definitely not going to play
02:48
and Olave no I want nothing to do with either he's got a very good matchup against uh Taylor
02:52
Bay but we don't know about Derek Carr either oh Carr's out I'm seeing here so it's Rat no all
02:56
right I want nothing to do with the ones all right they're gonna get they're gonna get shellacked uh
02:59
I'll pass here uh A-chain I can uh Cook Cook's not going to play very long Allen I think is
03:06
only going to play a series maybe at most here to uh keep that streak of his uh starting streak
03:10
of his going there Charbonnet all right once again they're gonna play their stars together
03:14
and a Rams team that doesn't care that's sitting everybody I can live with him uh Pollard uh once
03:20
again pretty pretty sure they said he's uh questionable but should play all right so I
03:26
think Pollard's good to go there as well uh Charbonnet I think I'm gonna go with it if you
03:30
don't want to pay for A-chain you want to save 500 Charbonnet is where I'm gonna go here yeah you
03:34
know who I'm gonna play this week by the way Blake Coram I think we're finally gonna see Blake
03:39
Coram I mean his he's like the cheapest running back on the board one of the guys that I would
03:46
play uh because I don't I don't like this final tier Michael Carter by the way Michael Carter
03:51
Arizona yeah I know I like him I like him he's my favorite maybe yeah this tier is bad this this
03:57
tier is a non-play uh Brian Robinson jr 6000 who really knows what Washington's incentive is
04:02
Garendo uh you know he's okay but nah Dowdell bad offensive situation Tyrone Tracy for the
04:10
Giants maybe he's the best name there 5800 no thanks to Rashad White Isaiah Pacheco is out
04:18
Gainwell is Philly gonna play Gainwell a ton and I mean I guess they probably will
04:24
someone's gotta play yeah but still I could see them going down to the third guy here
04:30
I'm not I'm I'm gonna go I like your idea with Carter I like my idea with Blake Coram
04:37
maybe shooting a little toward the future with some of these players so but Gainwell to me
04:42
is better than some of the above names Pacheco White Dowdell maybe Garendo maybe even Brian
04:50
Robinson jr I think now that I'm thinking it through maybe he is more attractive than most
04:54
of these names but why is Tracy less than Garendo and Robinson I'm not understanding that one he's
05:01
like the primary guy I mean Singletary barely plays uh Tracy's probably the guy I'm targeting
05:06
here uh you're not going with Pacheco I don't think he's going to play Gainwell I'm interested
05:10
in uh I said if it came down I need to save 100 or 200 bucks I would start Gainwell over uh over
05:15
Tracy I wouldn't really mind that I like Dowdell until I found out that Cooper Rush is not going
05:19
to play all right and I think he'll run I think he'll get plenty of his carry that's what he's
05:23
going to do Washington wants to win this game by the way uh although it does it's not of great
05:28
importance to them if they win the game they stay in that six seat they avoid Philadelphia they get
05:33
to play the Rams most likely the Rams so that's what they want to do here uh we know what they're
05:37
doing so winning does make sense to them Brian Robinson has just screwed me over the past couple
05:41
of weeks uh it's not playing very well here want nothing to do with him Tracy's my first choice
05:46
here and I certainly don't mind Gainwell either with Tracy would be number one.
