00:00All right, let's keep the ball in play here and move to the running backs.

00:04And, ooh, this is going to be fun.

00:06I like this.

00:06I can't wait to hear what you have to say.

00:07Okay, so we talked about the Chargers having a good offensive line,

00:11although there is an injury there on, I believe, it's that left side.

00:14So let's see what they do there.

00:15Enter Omari and Hampton, ADP 39, running back 15 here for the Chargers.

00:20We don't know when or if Najee Harris is going to come back.

00:24Or Alvin Kamara, ADP of 40, RB 16.

00:28Say what you want about the Saints.

00:29Kamara can still consistently get it done.

00:31So, Joe, where are you going?

00:33This is a tough one here because Hampton is really intriguing,

00:36especially that Najee Harris injury.

00:38I wish it was a little bit cheaper than RB 15, just a hair.

00:42I think I'm going to lean towards Alvin Kamara here.

00:45And I hate the Saints offense.

00:46In the Black Book on Amazon, you can see in how much I rail against

00:50how bad I think the Saints are going to be.

00:51You're probably going to get Spencer Rattler for most of it

00:53and then Tyler Shuck for some of it.

00:55But the one thing you're going to get is a lot of Alvin Kamara.

00:57And he's been really consistent.

00:58He catches the football out of the backfield.

01:01He's probably by far the best offensive weapon they have.

01:03And although he's a little bit older, I think he's the most reliable

01:06by a country mile.

01:07So, I can't rely on Hampton yet.

01:09The Slater injury also enters into my psyche here just a tad.

01:13I'll take Alvin Kamara here.

01:14But I would not be shocked if Hampton ended up over him in fantasy points

01:18by the end of the year because he could potentially just run away

01:21with his job.

01:21But I think right now, I think in casual leagues,

01:24you could probably end up getting both pretty easily

01:26because people just aren't as aware of Hampton.

01:29But I think Kamara, if I had to choose and I could only get one,

01:33would be the way I would go.

01:34Which way would you go?

01:34Would you take the old salty vet or the fresh young rookie?

01:39It's old salty vet for me.

01:40It's going to come down to that touchdown equity.

01:42And I just – I know where the Saints are going.

01:45And with the Chargers, for right now, there are some question marks.

01:48And I've got enough question marks.

01:50I'm married and got two kids, both under six.

01:52Okay, let's continue this talk here and go to more running backs.

01:56ADP of 44 for Kenneth Walker III.

01:59You must say it like that.

02:00RB 17 or ADP of 45 for Chuba Hubbard.

02:05I think the Panthers are going to be improved.

02:08RB 18, where are you going?

02:09I'm going to go with Kenneth Walker, and I'm going to just kind of hold my nose

02:14and hold my breath and just, you know, try not to pass out here

02:17because my problem with Kenneth Walker is never his performance on the field.

02:21It's the fact that he's always missing time, and that's very frustrating.

02:24So the good news is that the guy who takes over for him when he misses time

02:27inevitably is Zach Charbonnet, who is decent, right?

02:30Charbonnet is pretty good.

02:31So if you have to handcuff a running back situation here, there's worse ones

02:35because you know when Walker goes out for two weeks or whatever it might be

02:38or even three, Charbonnet can step right in there and be pretty good.

02:42He's not going to be as good as Walker, but he's going to be pretty decent,

02:44and he's going to pick up the slack.

02:45You can't say that about every handcuff, and I'm not somebody who's running out there

02:49trying to just, you know, handcuff and control all these RB rooms,

02:53but there's some that I want to.

02:54James Conner, Trey Benson is one, Ken Walker, and this one here with Zach Charbonnet

03:00is also another one.

03:01I really like Chuba Hubbard, and I've said I think the Panthers are underappreciated,

03:05undervalued, and they showed you last year that they can really start to compete here

03:09with some of these better teams.

03:10They came up short, but they were more competitive, but for fantasy value,

03:14I'm going to take Ken Walker.

03:15I think that's my personal choice here.

03:19I like Chuba Hubbard as an RB too, but I think Ken Walker has more upside

03:22to potentially finish as an RB one.

03:25So once again, I'm going to play that upside game.

03:27Matt, do you have a preference between Walker and Walker,

03:29or just made them one guy, Walker, Chuba Hubbard, Chuba Walker.
