00:00It's the running back on the Chargers, George.

00:03We got to kind of plant our flag here today on who the Chargers running back is going to be.

00:07Is it going to be Haskins?

00:10Is it going to be Vidal?

00:12Is it going to be somebody else?

00:15Hey, Harbaugh's a running guy, right?

00:18Did I say on our show last week who their running back is going to be for the season?

00:22I know who it's going to be in like two weeks.

00:25Do you know who it's going to be?

00:26Well, you weren't on the show last week, so I'm going to say no.

00:28No, it wasn't me.

00:29It was somebody else.

00:30Who did you do the show with last week, by the way?

00:31Tom Vecchia?

00:32Yeah, Tommy V.

00:33Yeah.

00:35I had a bar mitzvah.

00:37So the running back on the Chargers is going to be Brees Hall.

00:42That's done.

00:42They're going to trade for him.

00:44But who's going to be the next running back for the next couple of weeks?

00:48That's interesting.

00:49Brees Hall, by the way, is being rumored to be going everywhere.

00:52Everywhere.

00:52Perfect fit, though, right?

00:53Chargers?

00:54Perfect fit.

00:55Kansas City?

00:55Kansas City's another big rumor that he could be going there.

00:58In the division?

01:00Oh, no.

01:01I'm sorry.

01:01Jets.

01:02Yeah, I see.

01:02That could be a nice little bidding war for those two teams.

01:05If the Jets can play it up, yeah, that would be interesting if they can play it up.

01:08Remember, Panther's not out for the year.

01:09That's why Kansas City might have a little better play here.

01:11Yeah, but they need two guys.

01:13They need two, I think.

01:14I think they learned their lesson.

01:16Now, as far as Haskins and Vidal, I put bids on these guys in every league, by the way.

01:19Every league I play, these guys were available.

01:21I got Haskins more than Vidal, and if you bid early, like some of the leagues I play, and

01:28we bid on Tuesday, and we bid every night, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

01:31So, if you bid on Tuesday, you did much better than if you waited.

01:34So, he had prices up during the week as people, I guess, I thought they had more information.

01:38But then the OC came out yesterday and said, hot hand, 50-50.

01:42So, we don't know what's going to happen here.

01:43I would prefer Haskins.

01:45I think he's more the goal-line guy, but I'm guessing here.

01:48Just guessing.

01:49So, I said I went heavier on Haskins than I did Vidal.

01:51I did not spend, break my banker at all.

01:54I think maybe at most I spent 12-50% of my budget here to get him.

01:58And I think the most I saw him go for was maybe a quarter budget.

02:02So, people may have been bidding for him, but they don't think he's the guy.

02:06You know, oh, he's not going to win you.

02:07They don't think he's going to win you a fantasy league.

02:08That's really what it came down to.

02:09And maybe that's because Fairhampton is going to return in a month.

02:12You know, maybe somewhere before Thanksgiving here.

02:15So, we'll see.

02:16But I would prefer Haskins.

02:18But when I say prefer 55-45, I mean, it's that close.

02:21You want to go with Vidal, I'm not going to argue with you over which one it is here.

02:25But, hey, starting running backs, they all have value.

02:28Yeah, they do.

02:29All right.

02:30So, you know, Kendrick Bourne is another name that's out there.

02:33It does look like Juwan Jennings is back.

02:36Bourne still could be good, but there's just no chance he's putting up the numbers that he put up last week.

02:41Some people grabbed him.

02:42Some people didn't.

02:43But we don't want to do a show and not acknowledge one of the top waiver wire pickups.

02:46It was Kendrick Bourne.

02:48And it remains to be seen what the offense will look like with the 49ers this week.

02:51Okay.

02:52Everyone's waiting for us to do the games this week.

02:53So, let's get into it.

02:55Lions and Chiefs, one of the top fantasy games of the week.

02:57One of the top totals of the week.

02:59Chiefs starting to play a little bit better.

03:00George on offense.

03:01Patrick Mahomes is dialing it back to what Patrick Mahomes used to be.

03:05This is your typical all-hands-on-deck game with the exception that you just alluded to,

03:11which is the Chiefs can't run the ball.

03:12So, you don't play any of the Chiefs running back.

03:14Even though Hunt scored, I think it's a big risk.

03:16Everybody else plays in this game, correct?

03:18Yeah.

03:19I have nothing to add there.

03:20Not starting to get Chiefs running back.

03:21Everybody else goes.

03:25Okay.

03:25So, that's one player that I want to dive into and do more of that.

03:29But before we go back into the preview, let me step back here and do one more player.

03:35I forgot of another player.

03:36It is Mason Taylor, tight end of the New York Jets.

03:40He, of course, is now starting to play a little bit more, get more playing time.

03:43Do you think that this is something for the future as well?

03:46I mean, we're still not talking about a big throwing team here.

03:49You and I just theorized that Hall will eventually be traded.

03:52And I think that certainly could be true.

03:53We've been hearing that about.

03:54That's just the NFL draft.

03:55But, you know, this is a bad team.

03:58The defense is bad.

03:59So, they are going to have to throw the ball more than they want to.

04:02I don't mind this.

04:03I don't.

04:04But I don't see a lot of the upside here at Mason Taylor.

04:07I just don't.

04:08So, I'm not thrilled about it.

04:10But they are going to have to throw the ball a ton.

04:11Unless that defense starts to play better, they're going to do a lot of shootouts here.

04:15And garbage time touchdowns, what the Jets had last week.

04:18Those count.

04:18Those count for points here, which I'll say field stay.

04:21So, I don't mind it.

04:22But he's not someone I'm dying to go out and get.

04:25Kayshawn Boutte of the New England Patriots.

04:2718 targets, 13 receptions, 208 receiving yards, and a touchdown.

04:32Is he building on something?

04:34I don't mind going for him this week.

04:36All right.

04:37Against the wall.

04:38I think the points are going to be scored there.

04:39But I think he's another guy.

04:41You know, when you have your full complement of players, you're probably not using him.

04:44You're not going to break the bank on him.
