00:00Kendra Miller is available in 8 out of 10 leagues right now on Yahoo.
00:04Again, you get smaller leagues there.
00:06Sometimes you get less active leagues.
00:09So on Sleeper, this is much higher.
00:11But still, he's available in about 40% of leagues even on Sleeper.
00:15But Kendra Miller is an interesting one to watch because although we did get a report last night that Alvin Kamara doesn't want to get traded, that's fine.
00:22He might not want to get traded, but it doesn't mean that the organization doesn't want to trade him if they get just destroyed with a deal that's just too good for them to pass up.
00:29But Kendra Miller has also been working a lot more, and Alvin Kamara is an older running back.
00:34Let's be honest, right?
00:35He is kind of on the more sunset years of his career.
00:38And Kendra Miller has had a really bad start to his career.
00:41It's just not good.
00:43Problems with the previous regime, questions about his work ethic, his willingness to play through pain and injury.
00:50But things seem to be going better with this new group here.
00:52And Kendra Miller is one to watch because I think all year long, you're still going to have limitations at that quarterback position.
00:58Now, Spencer Rattler has played better, I think, than people would have realized.
01:01But you're still going to have to rely heavily on the run game.
01:03And if you do, at some point, I think Kendra Miller's role continues to grow in this offense.
01:08So I think as you're looking at bye weeks continuing on and looking for running back depth, as always, we all know the dynamic can change in a minute, right?
01:15We've done this so many times in the last couple weeks.
01:17We were adding Woody Marks before his game.
01:20We were adding Brashard Smith last week.
01:21I still want to add Brashard Smith this week.
01:23I want to add the guys that I think have upside for the second half, and Kendra Miller is definitely one of those backs.
01:29All right.
01:30Say I missed out on Miller.
01:32Is there another running back?
01:34And I won't make it 8 out of 10 leagues.
01:36Give me 7 out of 10 leagues.
01:37Anyone?
01:38Yeah, it's Hassan Haskins in this matchup today.
01:41And I know some people will pound the table for Kamani Vidal.
01:44But I want to just point out, if Vidal was so great, why wasn't he on the roster?
01:48Why was he on the practice squad?
01:49But that's when I want to continue to drive home to people.
01:52And they've already elevated him from the practice squad a couple times, but they've never added him to the roster.
01:57Now, this is like one of those follow the money things.
02:00Could that change today against the Miami Dolphins?
02:02Of course.
02:03There's absolutely a script where that defense against the run is so bad.
02:06Kamani Vidal looks like Bijan Robinson.
02:09But Hassan Haskins, I still think, is going to get most of that work, or at least the early work here.
02:13I mean, it's because of the familiarity.
02:15This was a guy that, when John Harbaugh was in his heyday at Michigan, was the lead back, and a pretty good one at that.
02:23Now, he hasn't really quite lived up to that potential at the NFL level, but he's also really never been given much of an opportunity.
02:28So this is a spot here, if you're Hassan Haskins, to smash.
02:31It's a great matchup.
02:33You can establish yourself as, hey, I'm the replacement back here.
02:36The rumors are, Chargers are looking for running back help.
02:39So this is your opportunity, this is your moment, Hassan Haskins, and I do think he's streamable this week.
02:44Maybe not over Kendrick Bourne, but maybe over a lot of other guys that are on that fringe, or guys like Darnell Mooney, who's dealing with injury.
02:50I think I would lean towards Haskins.
02:51So if he's available, you pick him up.
02:53You might want to pick up Vidal, too, if you have a lot of room on that roster, because you just don't know who it's going to be.
02:58And that way, you have both guys, and if one of them hits, great.
03:01You just saved yourself a lot of free agent money.
03:02You mentioned Kendrick Bourne, and I'm looking here, it looks like he's widely available in about 8 out of 10 leagues.
03:11You want to talk about that?
03:13It's crazy, because you would think people would chase this, but then there was a lot of rumors Purdy would be back, and people said, what does that happen?
03:20Oh, Jawan Jennings coming back.
03:22Look, at this point, Kendrick Bourne put up a huge day.
03:25This is a system.
03:27I'm telling you, Brandon Ayuk is part of that system, right?
03:31He was, anyway.
03:31You had Jawan Jennings last year as part of that system.
03:35So Kendrick Bourne's going to get targets, or Kendrick Bourne's the guy that Mack Jones is familiar with, you know, and has a history with, and is confident in because they work together as the second-team guys.
03:46It shows up on the field.
03:47It showed up against the Rams, and I think it would show up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, too.
03:51So I think he's a very streamable option this week.
03:53And I understand a lot of people don't want to chase that 10-140 game.
03:57That's fair.
03:58I don't want to chase it either.
03:59But there's a fine line between chasing and adding this guy for free on a Sunday morning and streaming him as your flex spot.
04:05I think there's a lot of positive potential there.
04:08And now that we're missing guys like McLaurin again, we're probably going to be missing QJ for this game.
04:13And he was your flex guy, and you don't like what's on your bench.
04:16You're dealing with guys that are on bye weeks, right?
04:18Kendrick Bourne is streamable this week.
04:20So I'm shocked that this number didn't go higher, well above 25%.
04:24But I get the reasons why.
04:26I still think right now in week six he has some value.
04:29So, again, as a streamer, let's add him this week.
04:31And you can even start him in those deeper leagues for sure.
