We'll start off with the running back situation in Washington, which actually I think is gonna be a little bit better than it's been the last two weeks because Marcus Mariota is turning, uh, the ball back over to his buddy, Jayden, uh, Daniels. So I would assume that their running game, uh, gets better. Chris Rodriguez Junior is out there. Uh, this was a, a story of the season, the early part of the season that we talked about here, Jacoy Crossky Barrett was the pick of the year in fantasy for people on Twitter. And they were bragging about him for about 5 weeks. Those people are nowhere to be found at this point. The guy is not even playing basically anymore. I feel like Washington may play Rodriguez a little bit more and play toward the future because I don't think that, uh, Bill and I hope he has a great career in the NFL, but I just don't think that what he did was sustainable at all. It proved out to be that way. Yeah, I don't think they're running back in the future or the number, the #1 running back in the future is on the roster. They're either gonna draft to sign someone in free agency. Uh, I think all these guys are #2s as far as NFL is concerned. Uh, there's not much there. Uh, the running game should help, uh, get some help this week with the return of Daniels, right? He is a little bit more of a threat here. Uh, I don't know how much they're going to have Daniels doing designed runs. Uh, they should, they should want to protect that elbow. This is a lost season, nothing going off as, uh, off of the, uh, commanders there. Uh, but Rodriguez is a player this week. He's a nice pickup. He's on your waiver wire. And by the way, even if you're not going, you have your fine at running back, you don't need him. pick up anyway. You should have done that to play defense. Don't let, you know if I'm playing Greg and he's a running back, I'll, I'll play Rodriguez over Greg. I don't care if I'm, he's on my bench. Why would I want Greg to go grab him or anybody else for that matter? I might have to play you in the playoffs, so it would have been great defense to go get him as well. I picked up in two leagues and I'm starting him in at least one. I might start him in the other league, uh, as well here. I think he's gonna have a decent representative day here. A little bit of a tough matchup against the Vikings, so keep that in mind, but I do like to see Rod this week. Jayden Higgins has become a nice play for the Houston Texans as their offense has come alive here a little bit the last few weeks. He's now up to 40% owned. He's got 32 catches, George. He's got double the amount of touchdowns this season than Justin Jefferson with 4. How about that? 359 receiving yards, borderline playable, especially in a bye week with several players out. You know, once again, uh, we, we talked earlier they're playing Kansas City. We saw Kansas City, uh, you know, uh, they saw Kansas City get lit up by the Cowboys, uh, on pass defense, right? Now I understand. Listen, Stroud is not Dak Prescott, doesn't have land, doesn't have picking, uh, not quite, uh, as. a match up there, but they can be thrown on here. So what I think this is more matchup dependent. Once again, who else do you have on your roster that you gonna start him off? I don't think he's a definite start. I don't. And I'd be lying if I said I trust Stroud, uh, but I probably like Stroud a little bit more than I did two weeks ago. You know, so he's certainly in the conversation to me, more on that low end, wide receiver 3 flex range. Uh, so he, he's, uh, so I'm thinking about starting. Uh, I don't really have him anywhere, but I would think about starting him, but I think your upside is limited. So that might be where I go with that there. What do you want? Are you, you just want double digit points? OK, you, you're good there. You should get it. But if you're looking for 1820, 22 points, then you may have to look in another direction. The Jets are really thin at wide receiver and so the hot pick up a couple of weeks ago was John Meci after his big game. Now he's quiet and Adani Mitchell seems to be getting hot. He's got 20 receptions, virtually all with the Jets, 300 yards, a touchdown on 41 targets, but it does feel a little bit like an uncertain situation, George. It wouldn't surprise me to see Mitchell have a good game this week against the Dolphins. It wouldn't surprise me to see Meci have a good game, but I don't think you're gonna get both. It feels like a coin flip. Yeah, it's the Jets, right? You're not gonna get both. I don't think you are. Uh, you might get one. Miami not the greatest defense here. It is in New York and as you and I have been talking, uh, the weather's not gonna be beautiful here. All right, not gonna be awful either. I don't think we're getting any precipitation on Sunday, uh, but it could be a little windy there in the Meadowlands and stuff like that. I would prefer. Mitchell, I think, you know, I think, uh, listen, I don't, I, to be honest with you, I don't want to have to start either one because if I do, it means I probably, I might be in a little bit of trouble, especially if I'm in a 10 team league, 12 team league, OK, uh, is what it is there. But I just don't trust Taylor, not sure I trust Mitchell either, by the way. Did he drop? Did he, was he one of those guys earlier this year, by the way, who was running in a touchdown, decided to drop the ball before the end zone? Yeah, yeah, uh, yeah, I think he's one of two players to do that this season, De Mercado being the other one. So I don't want to have to start him, but, uh, if you have to. I don't hate it either. DeShaun Valley of the Saints is getting a lot of playing time. They're basically dismantling at this point, so they've given him some looks. 17 catches, 184 yards, 2 touchdowns. I got no interest here, uh, on, uh, Valle, but, uh, it's got a cool name. Do you get points for that? Do you get points for Ko Lane? Uh, you remember when I said I don't hate, uh, Mitchell? Well, I would hate Bailey if I had to go that direction. OK, I really would. Olave did, uh, practice. I think he's going to be OK for the game. That'd be the only if Olava was out, I might think about it, but he's not.
