00:03 - These players are all right next to each other.
00:05 So I think it's a great conversation.
00:06 Let's start with running back here,
00:07 running back 26 next to running back 27,
00:10 Raheem Mostert at the Chargers, James Cook at the Jets.
00:15 Joe, who do you start, who do you sit?
00:18 - That was good.
00:19 That was a very Christopher Walken-esque
00:20 sort of toss there.
00:22 - Joe, who do you start?
00:24 You got all these guys with so many backs.
00:28 You gotta choose one to play in your lineup this week.
00:32 All right, let's look at these two guys.
00:33 And this is the problem here,
00:34 'cause Mostert I think is really tempting
00:36 because of the game script of what's going on
00:38 and that total, right, that 51.
00:40 And I think when you're trying to figure out
00:42 these decisions, that's a big part of it.
00:45 You're gonna look at the totals,
00:46 you're gonna look at the usage.
00:47 You know, with Mostert, I think he's an okay start.
00:50 If you look at where he's ranked,
00:51 he's ranked in a position where he is
00:54 basically right around that RB2 bottom, right?
00:58 That's exactly where he's gonna be.
01:00 So he is in there as a flex play.
01:01 He's okay, especially in half PPR leagues
01:03 because of the total.
01:05 I think James Cook to me is the more intriguing start.
01:07 And I know, Mazie, this is like the fantasy nerd
01:10 in me coming out here,
01:11 but the Jets defense is very good.
01:14 I think James Cook is sitting on that potential
01:16 for a very big explosive season.
01:18 I think also he's going to catch the football a ton.
01:21 And I think that's going to be something
01:22 you're gonna see a little bit more in this Bill's offense.
01:24 I think the Bill's from a necessity standpoint
01:27 are gonna try to balance their attack a little bit more.
01:29 When the Bill's were balanced,
01:30 the Bill's were a better football team.
01:32 And when they get too heavy on the one Josh Allen side
01:34 of just throwing the football all the time
01:36 and everything's Josh Allen, they become very predictable.
01:39 And I think they're recognizing that
01:40 and I think they need to correct that.
01:42 So even though James Cook right now in fantasy pros
01:44 is right behind Mostert,
01:46 I would start James Cook in PPR leagues.
01:48 In half PPR, I think Mostert is a little bit safer
01:52 because that Jets defense is very good
01:54 and that total is very high.
01:56 But in the full point PPR, Matt,
01:58 you know, Devon A-chain might be a guy
01:59 that works more than people realize in that game today.
02:02 I think that's gonna be fascinating
02:03 to watch how that backfield operates.
02:05 You could also get guys like Salvin Ahmed
02:07 and some other guys working,
02:08 which is just gonna be gross at the end of the day.
02:11 So I don't think it's gonna be gross for Buffalo.
02:13 I think it's Cook, I think it's Harris, I think it's simple.
02:15 I think Cook is the guy
02:16 that gets the more valuable fantasy point of view.
02:19 And I think that's where I'm gonna lean.
02:20 So give me Cook over Mostert.
