00:00Alvin Kamara I mentioned earlier is going to be out today which means Devin Neal is a volume play

00:03now it's a small sample size he doesn't have any explosive runs yet or anything that's really kind

00:08of jumping off the charts but he'd have a good college career I think a lot of people looked at

00:12Devin Neal's landing spots and okay maybe this is the RB of the future especially because the guys

00:16they had drafted previously to be the guy of the future behind Alvin Kamara just haven't worked out

00:20so Devin Neal has that opportunity here down the stretch to really prove something and I will warn

00:25everybody who has Alvin Kamara what the hell are the Saints playing for there's a reason to rush him

00:30back right if anything moving on next year you want to be able to move on from a healthy Alvin Kamara

00:34let him go somewhere else or make a trade or make a deal for him but they might even cut him next year

00:39who knows if they have a new regime come in here but I would say this that Devin Neal volume play

00:44if you look on fantasy pros he's RB 25 which is perfect I think he is ranked this week appropriately

00:50he's not quite an RB2 but he's definitely flex worthy but if you have a bunch of RBs that have

00:55had injuries or guys you are waiting on that aren't going to play like Omari and Hanton I'm

00:59looking at you Devin Neal is a streamer and he could have more value going forward to in these

01:04weeks ahead because there's no reason for the Saints to rush back Alvin Kamara because they have

01:09nothing to play for so just keep that in mind here when you're looking at Devin Neal and again he's

01:13rostered in already half of leagues already if he's still floating around the waiver wire this morning

01:17pick him up all right we're getting messages in already at SportsGrid at SportsGrid TV that Neal

01:23is picked up in a lot of people's leagues so they're asking for a pivot where should we go

01:28if Neal is already part of someone else's team well this is the guy we talked about last week too but

01:33he had a buy and I thought that's the perfect time to sneak him through waiver wires and it's Chris

01:36Rodriguez but clearly nobody listened because he is still available in 75 percent of leagues now I'm not

01:42saying it's perfect I am saying he's kind of the quote-unquote lead guy at this point he has more

01:47touchdown equity too he's the goal line back so Chris Rodriguez not Ja'Cory Krosky Merritt aka Bill

01:52is really the running back you want in fantasy and this is why I didn't chase Ja'Cory Krosky Merritt

01:56early in the season and a lot of people love you know some of the upside that he had but I think if

02:01you look back this whole offseason for the commanders has been a disaster they did not do

02:07enough to fortify I think they were living off their laurels they were the darling last year and

02:11injuries came for the wide receivers and then for the quarterback and before all that started they

02:16traded Brian Robinson Jr their workhorse back and I wonder if they had had him how different this

02:21season might have been could they have stayed relevant because this division you know every

02:25time the Eagles lose it gets a little bit more wide open and don't look now but the Cowboys are

02:29kind of nipping at the heels a little bit of those Philadelphia Eagles so just just saying Cowboys fans

02:34getting their dander up it's been fun on the internet uh Chris Rodriguez though again if you're

02:39looking for bench depth at running back or even a spot starter this week not the greatest matchup

02:44against the Denver Broncos but after that it gets Minnesota and the Giants so it's 14 and 15 those

02:48are much more favorable matchups
