00:00So let's talk running backs here, and let's start with Saquon Barkley.
00:05What are they paying him?
00:07$9,200 is what it'll cost, Dad.
00:09Can I get a Saquon Barkley?
00:11Joe, you're Dad in this scenario, so go.
00:14You can get a Saquon Barkley for $9,200, but you're going to have to realize that you can't
00:19get anything else too much along with it.
00:22That's all you're getting.
00:23You're not getting the play set that goes along with it.
00:25You're not getting the coloring book and the other things.
00:27That's it.
00:28But look, Saquon is in a really good matchup this week, obviously, and you continue to
00:32look at what Saquon's been giving you.
00:34It's been really steady productivity.
00:36Saquon, coming off a bye, also a good situation.
00:39The Cleveland Browns are the 24th-ranked rush defense, so a really good scenario for him,
00:44almost equally expensive.
00:45And again, if you're playing on FanDuel and the half PPR, probably Derek Henry is a little
00:50bit more appealing.
00:51He is going against that Commander's rush defense that's the 21st rank.
00:55So the two guys at the top of the board, both very appealing, but very expensive.
01:00Probably I would lean towards Henry on the half-point PPR side, and I would lean towards
01:05Barkley on the DK side, where things are a little bit more regarding the pass-catching
01:10ability.
01:11And you're getting Devonta Smith back.
01:13You're getting A.J. Brown back, but I don't know how full-strength everybody is, so I
01:17continue to think that Saquon Barkley is going to work in this passing game.
01:21David Montgomery, 7,900, has been a touchdown machine.
01:25Lions coming off a buy themselves, a good situation, a game with a high total.
01:28I know Jameer Gibbs was really good that last game, but don't forget about David Montgomery
01:32in that mix.
01:33Gibbs also very startable in DFS this week.
01:35I think Montgomery, cheaper option on FanDuel.
01:38DK, you pay up for Jameer Gibbs, probably the better approach if you want to get involved
01:41in that game.
01:42Rico Doudle at 6,100 in that same contest is an interesting oppo play.
01:46Now the Lions have been pretty good against the run, but the difference is here Rico Doudle
01:50is getting much more work in the backfield.
01:52I think the Cowboys have realized that Ezekiel Elliott is dust and it's time to move on.
01:57You saw that in the workload the last time you saw Rico Doudle, so that's a positive.
02:00And last but not least, if you do extend to that 8 p.m. game in that whole full Sunday
02:05slate, Tyrone Tracy, 5,800 is a really good option.
02:09He looked terrific running the football.
02:11The Cincinnati Bengals defense is not good on any level, so a unique opportunity here
02:16to get a little bit of relief for your running backs.
02:18But don't forget about the Jeremy McNichols of the world, too, with Bryan Robinson Jr.
02:23out.
02:24He's been scoring touchdowns in his absence.
02:26Bucky Irving is going to get an opportunity today.
02:28You got a lot of guys who are stepping into more full-time roles, so there's a lot of
02:32ways to get some value at the running back position today.
02:36If you want to go up to the top, that's great, but you might have to get one of those Tyrone
02:39Tracy, McNichols, Rico Doudle, or even a Bucky Irving type guy to offset that.
