00:00All right. So let's say I miss out on the elite tier. So now I've got to pay attention.

00:06Talk to me about the value. I'm sure there are more options at the value running back tier.

00:12Well, this is the pool that I'm swimming in. Okay. Let me tell you, this is it because after

00:17those initial guys go, you know me, Matt, I'm a big wide receiver build kind of guy. I like to

00:22have those big wide receivers. Mostly now PPR leagues are the standard format, right? Most

00:27leagues are PPR, at least half, very few play in the non PPR, which used to be called standard,

00:32which shouldn't be anymore because it's not the standard. Most people play in point perception

00:36leagues, but this is the group of running backs where I think if you can grab one or two of these

00:40guys, you're in good shape. There's plenty of quote unquote hero RBs guys. You could say, okay,

00:44this is my number one guy. And then I'll back it up later. Irving chase Brown, especially with no

00:49competition really there. Kyron Williams who just got paid James cook, Alvin Kamara. Those are the

00:54guys where I think, all right, I can get one of these dudes at a good value third round and beyond

01:00here to the fourth. And then Omari and Hampton, Chuba Hubbard also kind of on that fringe more

01:05like if I want to get Kamara and Hampton or Kamara and Hubbard and just kind of double up there

01:10because I went three straight wide receivers, which I often do. You can find Kamara, Hampton,

01:15Hubbard in rounds four or five and be able to solidify that. So to me, this is the approach of

01:20running back, buying in bulk, buying quality bulk too, right? You're not at the dollar store

01:25buying bulk. You're, you know, at Costco and you're, you know, you got to pay the membership

01:28in order to get in in the first place. But I think all of these guys have good values. Kyron

01:32Williams is a touchdown machine, chase Brown and Bucky Irving and good offenses. You know,

01:36like James cook. Again, I just don't think he gets enough credit. Everybody, you know,

01:40a spectacular year last year and everybody and their mother's talking about regression to the point

01:45where it's suppressing his value. And he's going to regress a little potentially in touchdowns,

01:49but his role is not going to change. There's no other superstar on this team besides Josh Allen.

01:54So to me, James cook, they need James cook. If the Buffalo bills are going to repeat in that

01:58division again, they need him to be that guy in the offense because there isn't another star

02:03around Josh Allen. So James cook is as close as it gets. I'm sorry. It's not Khalil Shakir.

02:08It doesn't look like it's ever going to be key on Coleman or Dalton Kincaid. So James cook,

02:12I'm fine. You're going to give me James cook again. I'll take them on the discount. And everyone,

02:16just like last year when they said, Kyron Williams can't do a two years in a row. Well, guess what?

02:20He did. So enough of this, enough of this, he can't stuff. I think there's far too much of that.

02:25And look, the price on these guys is all really, really good. This is the group that I want to

02:29live in the value plays at RB.
