00:00everybody's surprisingly still available in at least six out of ten leagues take it away

00:03yeah i don't know why i comment on guys still out there and i know a lot of people say

00:07look you know these roster percentages are higher in certain places like sleeper and they are because

00:10those are more competitive leagues i get you they say oh he's not available in my league he's not

00:14available in any of my leagues either you know why because he's on all my rosters that's why

00:18because i've been stashing this guy forever and trying to patiently wait and the patience was

00:23getting thin i could tell you that much and finally we got him showing up last week and i do think

00:27the trend continues so this is the consensus so thanks yahoo espn all these right now it's still

00:33under 50 so if he is still around there and even a shallow league i do think he's worth rostering

00:37i think he's very streamable this week you want to see that volume continue he is a volume kind of back

00:42and remember he's the back that they drafted so keep that in mind when a new coach comes in and

00:47they have certain things that they want to do monongai is not you know it's not derrick henry right

00:52but he does run really hard and i think that's an edge that the the bears are going to want

00:57and as the weather starts to turn in chicago down in november and december you're gonna have to run

01:03the football even more i think monongai is gonna have a lot of value and i think they were saving

01:06the bullets here a little bit this is a product from ruckers he runs hard he's a tough kid good kid

01:12and i think that monongai is going to be a piece of this bears offense going forward um like i said the

01:18the hope is he emerges as the david montgomery version in this two-headed backfield but we need to

01:23see the 13 carries again this week but i want to pick him up now if he's still available

01:26i don't want to wait till it happens again because otherwise you're gonna have to empty the clip of

01:30all the fab you have in order to get him all right and that's a great segue into this next question so

01:35let's say for the managers out there that were late to the party on monongai give me another

01:40running back but make it a little easier for me maybe available in seven or eight out of ten leagues

01:45can you give me that yeah brashad smith also another one is starting to emerge a little bit another

01:50one of our favorite things uh pacheco just hasn't looked explosive at all brashad smith does and

01:55brashad smith can catch the ball in the backfield too now we were hoping you know we don't want to

01:59get hurt but we're hoping that with you know kareem hunt getting banged up last week that we'd

02:03see more smith but hunt it looks like he's gonna play this week so now it comes a little bit muddier

02:07which is not great but i'm i'm still gonna bet on the guy that when he touches the football

02:12just looks better doing it over the long term and again these rookies especially the running backs

02:16get babied a little bit more in the nfl now than ever more because you just don't see guys

02:21becoming even you know even bijon's rookie year i saw a lot of tyler algier right and i just think

02:27that's the path that a lot of these teams take where they want these running backs just kind of

02:30ramped up slowly so brashad smith i think could actually be a huge answer and a huge gift to this

02:36chief's offense that chiefs are starting to roll a little bit they got rushy rice back last week i

02:40think you know you're going to see kelsey continue to work you'll see worthy continue to be startable

02:44brashad smith's another one of these guys too if there is an injury to pacheco who has had some

02:48injury issues or kareem hunt who is not a spring chicken gets hurt chart smith's workload goes

02:55through the roof and i think this is a guy you have to have my friend pat fitz morris you know

02:59we get into november he has a term cuffing and stuffing right you start handcuffing these running

03:04backs and start stuffing your face with thanksgiving food you do these kind of things around this time

03:10a year it does to pass and i had a much different lovely midwestern guy
