00:00All right, Derrick Henry with an epic season last year, dialing it back to 2021-22.

00:07He will have more yards this season, George, than Saquon Barkley,

00:12who had over 2,000 last year for the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:16Are you going to buy or are you going to sell this?

00:20So this is a better question.

00:22This is where I can see us both taking an opposite side here.

00:26Generally, when you have the big 2,000 year, you don't do as well the next season.

00:30Philadelphia also has banked up on the offensive line a little bit.

00:34All right, well, Dickinson is going to have surgery.

00:36I think he did have surgery on the meniscus.

00:38Maybe he plays week one.

00:39Maybe he doesn't.

00:40We'll see about that.

00:41And they lost back into a free agency, so not the same offensive line,

00:45not to mention Lane Johnson, another year older.

00:48Derrick Henry, not much has changed there, and he's still really tough to tackle.

00:51I'm going to buy this.

00:53Listen, I think it's close.

00:55I could go either way here with this, but I'll buy this.

00:58Derrick Henry will have more rushing yards and squad blocking.

01:00But like I said, this is close, and I'm not complaining about either one

01:02if they end up on my fantasy team.

01:05Yeah, I mean, it's fair to take a shot here, but my shot is coming on the other side here,

01:10and it's coming in terms of age.

01:12By the way, are they close together in age?

01:14I think Henry probably a little older than Barkley, right?

01:18That's fair to say?

01:20I would think he is.

01:21I'm looking it up now to find out.

01:22I think you're right.

01:23Year or two.

01:24So, it's not that I think Henry's going to have a bad year,

01:28but that's always my fear for running backs, because when it ends, it just kind of ends.

01:33So, I'm going to bank on that with Barkley.

01:35I don't think any rusher gets 2,000 yards in the NFL this season,

01:38but I do think Barkley ends up getting more than Henry.

01:41So, I'm going to sell this.

01:42Give me the red button, Derrick Henry, on the sell.

01:45All right, finally, let's get to the Cleveland Browns.

01:48What have we learned?

01:50We learned that Shador Sanders could play a little,

01:52and then he got hurt.

01:54We haven't seen Kenny Pickett.

01:56I mean, I don't even know what to make of the quarterback situation, George,

01:59but let's throw a dart.

02:00Buy or sell?

02:01Kenny Pickett will start week one with the Browns.

02:06By the way, Derrick Henry's 31, Bob Barkley's 28.

02:09Both have birthdays early next season.

02:12Next year.

02:12Not next season.

02:14Kenny Pickett will start week one with the Cleveland Browns.

02:16It's certainly not out of the question.

02:18All right?

02:18It's not.

02:19But my problem with this is he's not the long-term answer.

02:22They have to know that.

02:23You know, I do wonder if they'll try and trade him.

02:25A team suffers an injury to a quarterback, too, as well,

02:28because they have too many as it is here.

02:29I think Sanders would have had a good chance if he stayed healthy,

02:31but he didn't, so he's not starting.

02:33It won't be Gabriel.

02:34It is Pickett or Flacco, but I'm going to sell this

02:36because I think it is going to be Joe Flacco.

02:38He's the safe play here.

02:39That doesn't mean anything.

02:41I think you already said he's a statue back there.

02:43Everybody knows where he's going to be.

02:44Seven steps, go kill the quarterback.

02:45And that's what he's going to do.

02:46He's going to get killed.

02:47Flacco.

02:48Yeah, I'm going to sell as well.

02:50And like I said earlier, the unfortunate part with Joe is that,

02:54with Flacco, is that there's going to be a week where he's going to get

02:57sacked like 10 times, you know.

02:58Like that's going to happen, and it's going to be 51-0.

03:01And the rest of the weeks he could be okay.

03:03But that week you lose in fantasy starting that guy in a two-quarterback league.
