00:00All right, next, let's move to a running back who, for a while, was helping everyone with
00:07the anytime touchdown.
00:08Then the team, I don't know, the wheels just fell off.
00:11Let's return to the team and to the running back.
00:13Joe, they have a soft matchup at Carolina, one would think.
00:18One would know.
00:19Talk about the Panthers, how bad they've been.
00:21They have been awful.
00:23They've allowed 15 touchdowns to opposing running backs this year, so if there's a lock
00:26bet of the week, it's Alvin Kamara to score a touchdown.
00:29Bet it.
00:30I don't care what the juice is.
00:31Put it with the over.
00:32We'll talk more about that in the fantasy prop segment in hour two.
00:34No other team, by the way, has given up more than 11, so 15.
00:39Big difference there.
00:40And Derek Carr's back, and this is the big difference, too.
00:42So Carr's going to do a much better job of moving this offense already.
00:45It's a good soft first matchup for that Carr return.
00:48Olave's back healthy, too.
00:50So Alvin Kamara's already had a very strong workload this year.
00:53It's hard to imagine he's not going to get that workload today.
00:56Kendrick Miller goes on IR.
00:59Williams is not healthy.
01:00So this is basically the Alvin Kamara show today, and you imagine they have a lead at
01:04some point in this game, too, and a lot more Alvin Kamara in the second half as you sit
01:08on that lead.
01:09So to get the lead, you have to score fantasy points, and then to hold that lead and just
01:12sit on the clock, you're going to get more fantasy points from Alvin Kamara.
01:15So Kamara, another great play.
01:17He is the ECR expert consensus ranked third running back in week nine, and you could argue
01:22maybe he should be one based on this matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
01:26You could even see multiple touchdowns.
01:27You could bet that first touchdown.
01:29There's a lot of ways to go at the Alvin Kamara situation today, but a really good start in
01:34fantasy this week.
01:35All right, let's pivot now to another running back, this time from Cleveland.
01:41They have the Chargers.
01:42What are your thoughts?
01:44Yeah, well, the Chargers on paper are a good run defense, but you have to also look at
01:49the schedule they played.
01:50And if you look at the first few weeks of the schedule they played, they didn't play
01:53a lot of teams that ran the football very well anyway, all season, anywhere.
01:58So I think it's a little bit of a misnomer.
01:59And this is why, you know, when we get to this point in the year, the data is so much
02:02easier to parse through because you can really say, well, this is not a good run team.
02:06That's not going to run team.
02:07So maybe they're not great against the run.
02:09Maybe they were just playing teams that aren't good at running the football.
02:11Because if you look a couple of weeks ago, James Connor ran for 101 on them, right?
02:16So now you got Nick Chubb, who, by the way, last week looked really good making jump cuts,
02:22making some big runs against the Ravens, the best run defense right now in the NFL.
02:28Nick Chubb is the only guy this season to run for more than 50 yards against the Ravens.
02:33Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
02:35Because right now, Nick Chubb is underpriced, underutilized, and he's got a buy coming up
02:40next week.
02:41So I expect basically a full workload from Nick Chubb in this game.
02:44I think he's got great touchdown equity.
02:46This could be that game where he kind of blows up and then week 10, you arrest him and then
02:51you come back for that stretch run, and all of a sudden, maybe the Cleveland Browns are
02:53not dead yet either.
02:54Right.
02:55All right.
02:56Let's button it up here.
02:57You talked with Glo of how much you love Matthew Stafford.
03:00He's got to throw the football to someone.
03:02Who's it going to be?
03:03Yeah, I think it's going to be Cooper Cup, a lot of Cooper Cup today.
03:06Big in-division matchup here.
03:08You're going to get a lot of Kyron Williams.
03:09You're still going to get Pukanukuwa.
03:10But because of the Pukanukuwa injury this week, I am going to favor Cup.
03:14If you want to do both, that's fine.
03:15In a DFS lineup, just go all in.
03:17You want to get Kyron involved too.
03:19That's perfectly acceptable.
03:21But in my opinion, I think you look at a really good matchup here.
03:26Seattle is one that, you know, they're just not good with the zone coverage.
03:32And that's something that Cooper Cup is just going to eat up.
03:34And I just think that's the guy that you want in these scenarios.
03:37So Matthew Stafford, Cooper Cup, that pairing is a really good one.
03:41If these two wide receivers can just stay on the field, the Rams are really in this
03:45thing.
03:46And this was one of the teams that we talked about.
03:47We said, you know, if it's not the 49ers, who is it?
03:49And we both thought the Rams might be that team when in August we were having this discussion.
03:53And then injuries kind of crushed those hopes and dreams.
03:57But the 49ers did not run away with this division.
03:59The 49ers have had their struggles as we thought they might.
04:02And now all of a sudden, we're looking at a spot where Seattle doesn't look like really
04:06that defense can compete.
04:08They've had injuries with DK Metcalf as well and Ken Walker at certain times.
04:12You never know who the Arizona Cardinals are.
04:14They've been plucky sometimes and other times underwhelming.
04:17Maybe just maybe the Rams are still in these things.
