00:00So the New York Giants are at the Washington Redskins.
00:03Tyrone Tracy is the running back until Cam Scadaboo takes over, in my opinion.
00:08Or Jalen Warren, Pittsburgh, visiting the New York Jets.
00:12Who would you rather?
00:14Well, these guys are back-to-back in the expert consensus rankings on Fantasy Pros.
00:18That's late RB2s.
00:20You look at their Vegas lines, their projections.
00:23Everything is pointing at 53 to 54.5 rushing yards.
00:26So they're neck and neck.
00:27So what's the tiebreaker here?
00:29Well, it's got to be the scoring opportunities and the touchdowns.
00:32And I just think there's going to be less of them for Jalen Warren.
00:35Not that he can't score a touchdown, but I just think it's going to be less of them
00:38when you look at the total for the Washington Commanders-Giants game
00:41and the Jets-Steelers game.
00:43I'm going to hate-watch this Jets-Steelers game.
00:45I told you before, it's going to be like no other.
00:48I have never been so excited to see a miserable situation in football,
00:52a low-scoring, just two quarterbacks in new offenses.
00:56What is it that's doing that rage-watch?
00:59I'm the Loki of fantasy sports.
01:01I love chaos.
01:02And there's something to me that's magical about this narrative
01:05where you get 40-something-year-old Aaron Rodgers coming back to New York
01:09after being just a miserable disappointment for two years.
01:12Hopefully they boom out of the building.
01:13And then somewhere around the third quarter,
01:15when Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers are ahead,
01:17they're going to start booing Justin Fields and the Jets.
01:19And I just, I love that dynamic.
01:21I love it for Jets fans.
01:22I think it's hilarious.
01:24Arthur Smith is boring AF in terms of how he runs an offense.
01:27Both these quarterbacks, as I said, are new
01:29with all these new pieces around them to the scenarios.
01:32If this game breaks 20 points, it's going to be a miracle.
01:35So instead, I'm going to go with Tyrone Tracy
01:37because I think the Giants, not only have a shot to cover,
01:40they could win this game outright too.
01:41Don't be shocked if that happens.
01:42But I think that six and a half you saw, that five and a half you saw,
01:45that's too much, I think, to give an individual matchup like this one.
01:48I think the Giants show up today.
01:50And the Giants defense is very good.
01:51They're going to run the football a ton.
01:52I think Tracy's upside is just a little bit more than Jalen Ward.
01:56All right, let's keep it moving here.
01:58Minnesota's at Chicago, Jordan Mason, or Houston's at the Rams, Nick Chubb.
02:04Look, this might surprise you, but I want to go with Mason.
02:06I just don't like the way Nick Chubb has looked.
02:08And I've been the president of the Chubb Club for many years.
02:12Nick Chubb, one of my favorite players.
02:14Yeah, that's right.
02:15Phrasing's important.
02:16But you know what?
02:17But that's an old bid.
02:18We've been doing that bid on Fantasy Pros for years.
02:21And it's unfortunate.
02:23I don't just think he's ever going to be the same guy.
02:25Woody Marks is going to work in.
02:27Damian Pierce is going to be around.
02:28It's just going to be a mess, I think.
02:30Whereas with Jordan Mason, I think it's pretty clear how they want to work him
02:33into this backfield with Aaron Jones.
02:34And what did I say earlier, right?
02:36Week one, you're going to see a lot of shared backfields,
02:39even if that's not the plan.
02:40This was the plan, I think, of the Vikings.
02:42And I think the Vikings are going to go in there and beat the Bears.
02:46I also believe that.
02:48I think that defense is really good.
02:50You're going to go out there, run the football with a young quarterback,
02:53run the football on the road, run the football some more,
02:56take the pressure off J.J. McCarthy, play defense.
02:58And I think Mason will be a big part of that.
03:00So I just think he gets more opportunities than Chubb at the end of the day.
03:03I could be wrong.
03:04It happens.
03:04But I think Mason's the start that I want to make.
