00:00rj harvey denver running back at philadelphia tough defense or jacori krosky merit at the

00:07chargers for the commanders yeah this is a tough one and again some of these are going to get ugly

00:12just fair warning folks if you have a lot of injuries on your roster you might want to turn

00:16away uh but you should still listen probably that's probably a good idea look it's a tough

00:20matchup here for rj harvey against philadelphia but at the same time i think that what you saw

00:25last week could be the beginning of that backfield starting to turn a little bit towards harvey

00:29then you have jacori krosky merit coming off a weird day of his own where i think there are a

00:34lot of expectations and it fell short now you're getting jayden daniels back in the mix and with

00:39that issue of the knee he might not run that much especially early going here so you could see them

00:45leaning a little bit heavier on the workload i would say this i think jcm is the floor guy where

00:52you know i think he's gonna get enough carries to be like a steady floor if you just need your

00:56points and you don't want to get crazy let's say you know you didn't play against kyron williams or

01:00one of these guys that put up a big thursday night football performance then probably jcm take your

01:05points and get out but if you are playing from behind i do think there's some kind of upside

01:09potentially with rj harvey um eagles you know still offensively need to figure some things out and if

01:15they can't they're going to keep putting the defense in some weird spots but i would expect that rj

01:20harvey eventually starting to take over this backfield i think last week was the beginning of that

01:24turn we'll see if i'm right so the upside play is harvey the floor i think is jcm i would look at

01:30your rosters look at your opponents and make the decision that way on this one all right we move

01:35on to the elegantes de nueva york sin malik neighbors sorry i was in sap uh near giants uh without malik

01:42neighbors so we looked at darius slayton at new orleans as an offensive choice or malik washington for

01:48the miami dolphins without tyree kill at carolina again just overall offensive ecosystems where are we going joe

01:54yeah malik washington was a very popular pickup with tyree kill out but i think you're going to

01:59see nick westbrook akine i think you're going to see kind of all hands on deck you're going to see

02:02more darren waller so i'm going to lean with darius slayton i think wandale is the better of the two

02:07giants wide receivers this particular week but i think darius slayton carries a little bit more

02:10touchdown equity against the saints so it's a tougher start here rookie start on the road

02:15you know for the first time typically doesn't always go well but again i just i can't necessarily

02:21get there with malik washington unless you're getting return yards in your fantasy league on

02:26top of whatever he gets so he's playing wide receiver i understand the theory behind it and

02:31a lot of people are saying wow he's the speedy guy he's that guy you know you go deep and take

02:34shots with maybe maybe malik washington does have a big player too in him but i think i feel better

02:39about darius slayton his role in the offense over the years he's been kind of that steady guy that's

02:43just kind of always just been a giant i feel like so he knows the system he's been around and i think

02:48you lead on those veterans if you're a rookie on making your first start so in the excuse me on

02:52the road so i think this is certainly something where darius slayton would be my lean you you i'm

02:57sorry you mentioned a rookie quarterback making his first start on the road it's amazing because

03:01jackson dart at new orleans doing just that or bo nix at philadelphia reminder about that defense

03:09joe where you going here i'm gonna go with the kid here i don't necessarily know if it's gonna be

03:15pretty but i think i want the rushing equity that he brings at the end of the day and that

03:19eagles defense in philadelphia not that like if he was playing in denver i might feel differently about

03:23this game but playing in philadelphia is tough for anybody second year player to you know imagine

03:29coming off the phillies beating otani and going into that building forget it well i mean hey listen

03:34the phillies lost i think people are a little sour and looking to take out some aggression on somebody

03:38you know right let's just say the local radio shack is out of batteries folks let's just say

03:42if the radio shack is still open but yeah yeah hey babe i love you my second city baby i love

03:48philadelphia uh but i'm gonna go with jackson dart here take the rushing equity the rushing upside the

03:53rushing touchdown ability i'm not saying bo nix can't go out there and put up a good game but he

03:56has not looked like the same guy this year we can call it sophomore slump we can call it teams

04:00adjusting to him whatever you want to call it it's been that and jackson dart's still a little new so

04:04it's not as much tape on him again it wasn't a prolific stat line last week for jackson dart but

04:09we're talking fantasy here and from a fantasy perspective that rushing equity that he brings

04:14the rushing touchdown upside he brings it isn't the toughest matchup on the road it is the saints

04:18one of the lower rung teams in the nfl so it's not like he's going on the road to i don't know

04:22philadelphia so for me i'm going to take the spot here with jackson dart and hope for the best
