00:00He is basically, George, one of very few quarterbacks in the NFL that without the rushing numbers, you can still feel comfortable taking as a QB1 in this new day and age of fantasy football.
00:13I mean, George, this is the way that a lot of the quarterbacks used to be.
00:16It just was throwing the ball up, scoring touchdowns.
00:19But now we got to get the runners.
00:20He's one of the few that you don't need it because he's just racking up all the other numbers.
00:26I would say he's in a tier of his own, right?
00:28Yeah, you want Josh Allen, you want Lamar Jackson, Jaden Daniels, Jalen Hurts, whatever order you want to put them in.
00:35Personally, I have Josh Allen, Jackson, Daniels, Hurts, and then Burrow.
00:40For the reason you mentioned, he's going to throw more touchdowns probably than all of those guys.
00:43He's going to have a gazillion yards.
00:45But even though he can run, he's not going to.
00:48His rushing yards are going to be, he may average 10, 12 yards a game, something like that here.
00:52So I have no problem with Burrow.
00:54And like I said, he's in that, for me, that tier of his own here.
00:57Once again, I keep mentioning the league I'm currently in because that's the league that's currently drafting.
01:01It's a half-point PPR.
01:02Burrow went third, actually.
01:04He went ahead of Daniels and Hurts, which was surprising somewhat.
01:08I ended up getting Daniels almost immediately after Burrow's start a little run there.
01:12I like Burrow a lot.
01:14I have no issue with getting Burrow here, but I would not take him ahead of one of the floor rushers.
01:17That's my only issue there.
01:18We like Burrow because, Craig, how bad is that defense going to be?
01:22I mean, once again, with August 15th there, Trey Henderson is not there.
01:26All right?
01:26That's their only true pro bowl defender.
01:30And he ain't there.
01:31All right?
01:31They're going to play, listen, with the gambling network, a lot of overs coming here.
01:35All right?
01:35There's going to be a lot of 37-31 games for us this night.
01:38They have no choice.
01:38They've got to throw the ball up and down the field.
01:40Love Burrow.
01:41Love everyone we're going to be talking about, I pretty much love for the Bengals.
01:44The Bengals at running back is a little different because, George, through the years, it was, you know, the last few years, if you look at it, it was Joe Mixon for a while.
01:54Remember before that, it was Giovanni Bernard.
01:56And then last year, they brought in Zach Moss, who, you know, looked good early.
02:01But then, essentially, now it's Chase Brown's team.
02:04And it feels like we're doing this every year, George, with the Bengals running back.
02:07It's just always someone new and always somebody that you like a lot, but you just don't know what the outcome is going to be.
02:14He is RB12 going into the season.
02:17They also picked up Taj Brooks.
02:19He's RB72.
02:21Samaje Pirine, 75, in terms of average draft position at running back.
02:26Why do I bring up those other two?
02:28Not because you want to have them, but because they're being drafted so low that the industry seems to think that Chase Brown's getting the ball on first down,
02:35second down, and third down, George.
02:39And I think there is something to that.
02:41I think Chase Brown will be used more than most backs.
02:44And that's not to say he's better than most backs, because I don't think he is.
02:46I think of all the backs we could mention in his tier here, the guys like Josh Jacobs, maybe one of a genti, Bucky Irving, Kyron Williams.
02:54I think they all may have more talent than Chase Brown.
02:57But, I mean, once again, he's going to get touchdowns just by being there.
03:01All right?
03:02Because there's going to be times with Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins that go out at the one-yard line, right?
03:05Hey, here comes Chase.
03:06You know, touchdown.
03:08Let's not say he doesn't have talent.
03:09He does have talent.
03:10And I like Chase.
03:10I have him higher than RB12.
03:12I have RB9, I believe, just inside my top 10 here, because I think he's getting minimum a dozen touchdowns.
03:18Minimum.
03:19And I'd be surprised if I would take the over on that as well.
03:22Once again, I think he's a touchdown machine here for a very good offense.
03:24So I like Chase Brown probably a little bit more than most here.
