00:00uh brian robinson jr 44 rostered that's the first place that we're going to start let's go

00:05yeah we're going to start there and it's because again we talk about this is that season where you

00:11start looking at backup running backs the guys like emmanuel wilson the guys like blake quorum

00:16if you have spots in your roster maybe even brian robinson jr who i know has not done anything this

00:21year it's because christian mccaffrey has done literally everything he is leading the league in

00:26touches by such a wide margin that you can't help but get a little concerned about it at some point

00:30if he does miss some time brian robinson jr is going to be a really important piece he would

00:34become the guy in that backfield uh sure there'll be some other people working but the fact that

00:39we're at you know november 9th year and he's still under 50 roster i think is wrong because i think

00:44we've seen this system whether it's isaac garendo whether it was eli mitchell or jordan mason last

00:49year right over the years whoever's in that system is going to be productive from a fantasy perspective

00:54now it would take a christian mccaffrey injury in order to open that up but if you have christian

00:59mccaffrey i think it's very wise right now to just add brian robinson as an insurance policy i don't

01:03see why you wouldn't do it it's the smartest insurance policy you could buy is he going to

01:08replace cmc no of course not nobody does he's one of the best running backs in football but can he be

01:14fantasy productive and the answer would be yes in that system because we've seen it time and time again

01:18when mccaffrey's not there whoever steps into that role is very useful at minimum in rb2 sometimes

01:24a low-end rb1 depending on touchdown equity so again a player under 50 rostered across the board

01:30in the consensus waiver ranks that i think people should have rostered at this point

01:33all right the fans we hear you they're clamoring for wide receivers right now so let's give them

01:40let's get a wide receiver out there but make it easy please uh maybe available in six out of ten leagues

01:46can you do that we can we also have a turnover a big one here from the atlanta falcons turning the ball

01:53over to the uh indianapolis colts so we had a snap here that uh went to michael pennix he gets hit he

02:01gets fumbled there and then you have the colts pick things up here so now the colts have the ball back

02:07right around the 20s so uh after a nice bijon robinson run they gave things right back again i'm gonna go

02:13with the colts in this game i just think the colts are there's a better football team uh so tez johnson

02:17that's a guy that i want to talk about here 36 percent roster tez johnson i think in this game

02:23against the dingle patriots he has an opportunity he's that big play guy right and as a flex guy

02:28certainly in that mode we talked about theo johnson we talked about christian watson tez johnson's right

02:33in that mix i think as well in fact i would play tez probably over christian watson in this game today

02:40uh i think doing the patriots defense is very good they get better every single week too which is

02:44tremendous they also starting to you know find turnovers too which has always been the secret

02:48sauce in that new england defense finding turnovers we love that in fantasy but tez johnson's that big

02:53play guy that big touchdown guy at 36 percent rostered i think he can help you look a lot of

02:57big time wide receivers out this week i mentioned chase i mentioned lamp that's just a few but you're

03:02also looking for guys that can plug those holes and right now if you're looking at it you don't like

03:06what you have or you had somebody else that was out that you hope was going to play

03:09tez johnson could be out there in about 70 percent of leagues and he is worth adding this week

03:14be doing it and think we're doing it and he has to do it and out there we're still looking at it
