00:00It's a running back question. You mentioned Kyle Mononga so much throughout this show.
00:05You teased it, so here we go. He's at Baltimore, a much different Ravens team, which we're used to.
00:10Or is it Nick Chubb, an old familiar name for Houston against San Francisco? Start, sit, why?
00:16Yeah, look, Nick Chubb just kind of looks like a shell of himself, to be honest with you, this season.
00:20I mean, he's getting the job done. They're giving him about, you know, 12 carries or so a game.
00:24And he's, you know, giving you somewhere around, like, the, you know, four-ish range of yards per carry.
00:31He's only got two touchdowns on the air. The offensive line's not very good.
00:33I don't know how this game script is going to be, too.
00:35We have all these injuries here where Christian Kirk is out.
00:38You're missing Nico Collins, another big piece here.
00:41So a lot of injuries here for the Texans.
00:43So they become a little one-dimensional, potentially, offensively.
00:45Like, you stop the run, you make the rookies beat you, and I think that's a clear path for San Francisco.
00:50So I'm going to roll the dice with Kyle Mononga here.
00:52Mononga against Baltimore. I already gave you that schedule.
00:54Well, coming for Roma Dunze, it's the same schedule because I play on the same team.
00:57But I'm looking right now at, you know, next week, too.
01:01Kyle Mononga is potentially a flex play or an RV, too, depending on who you have on buys.
01:06I'm looking ahead to the Giants game the week after that.
01:09He doubled his carry output against New Orleans week 7, 13 for 81 at a touchdown.
01:14He's averaging six yards per carry there.
01:16He also caught two of his three targets for 13 yards.
01:19So he was working a ton.
01:20DeAndre Swift is a guy that has had some, you know, injury history in the past a little bit, too.
01:25And although DeAndre Swift has had some good games here coming out of the break, can he hold up over that full workload?
01:31I don't think so.
01:32And I think that's why you're seeing Kyle Mononga working in.
01:36And this is also a classic thing.
01:37After the buy, you're going to see a lot of these teams that put heavy capital into rookies start to utilize those rookies more.
01:43So keep a very close eye on that.
01:45That's the plan for a lot of these teams.
01:47So Kyle Mononga is one of those guys, and he's my guy this week that I want to start because I just think he's going to have more opportunity in the game today against Baltimore.
01:55Whereas Nick Chubb, I think, has a tougher game ahead of him here against San Francisco 49ers.
02:00Look at you using good logic.
02:02Thank you very much.
02:03All right.
02:04This next question is a wide receiver battle.
02:07As Buffalo travels to Carolina, Keon Coleman on one side, or New England has the Browns and it's Keishon Boutte.
02:14So is it Coleman on Boutte and why?
02:17Yeah, look, this one's pretty close for me.
02:20You know, the problem with Keon Coleman is, you know, like you look at the matchup and you go, okay, yeah, great against Carolina.
02:26That's what we want to do.
02:26But, I mean, he's got two touchdowns on the season.
02:30He is wide receiver 48 currently.
02:32And I understand that Keishon Booty is a player that's been a little more economical with things, right?
02:38He's catching a lot of the balls that he's catching are for touchdowns, right?
02:41So I think that's a situation where you go, well, that's not really sustainable.
02:43And then we look at weird runs, and sometimes they are.
02:47I mean, look at Nick Westbrook-Akinye not that long ago when he had that run where he was just catching a touchdown every week.
02:51And we kept asking ourselves, well, it can't go again, can it?
02:54And then it just kept going.
02:56Now, this is a far different scenario because he's playing with Drake May, who looks fantastic right now.
03:00So I think there is a lot more potentially, even though it's a tough matchup against a Cleveland Browns defense that's very good.
03:05Stephon Diggs is playing today.
03:07He was questionable all week and limited in practices, but he's going to play.
03:09I still think Kayshawn Booty is going to continue to get those red zone looks and find ways to score touchdowns, whereas Keon Coleman, I think, is just a really tough sell.
03:18I mean, maybe we get him peppered with targets out of the break.
03:20It just doesn't feel like that.
03:22I mean, he had that massive week one where he had 11 targets, eight receptions, and a touchdown for 112 yards.
03:28He hasn't broken 45 yards receiving since, and we are now in week eight.
03:32So I just don't know how you could possibly roll Keon Coleman out there over Kayshawn Booty.
