for the Cardinals fast-paced offense. He's not been phenomenal, but he's had a lot of great games. The targets have been there. And I think against this Tampa Bay defense, for 5,700, he's a guy that, you know, I was doing a DFS draft with Al Smiz and where we go back and forth. We were both targeting Krisha Kirk. I lost out on him. But I want him in my fan dual lineups.

55:49 ↗

All right, I'm going to go ahead and go with Jamal Williams, actually, at 5,600. Aaron Jones costs 7,600, so you're saving $2,000 of the running back position. I spent a lot of the week talking about Aaron Jones. He's my start of the week. Part of the reason was Carolina has given up back-to-back top five running back performances, and we have to recognize the fact that it could be a Jamal Williams week. That's always a possibility, and Jamal Williams will be...

56:16 ↗

less owned than Aaron Jones. He's 2,000 less. So I think Jamal Williams is a very upside opportunistic play this week. It's a good pivot. I'm going to go with a wide receiver. I'm taking Calvin Ridley. He's only 5,300 bucks on Fandall. He's taking on the Saints. We've already highlighted that they do give up points to the fantasy wide receiver. In his first game, without most anew, this game also did not have Matt Ryan.

56:42 ↗

Calvin Ridley still was able to go four for 70. He went from the low 60% of the offensive snaps up to the 80% mark. That's the big number. He is now the wide receiver too. There's no question about it moving forward. I expect Matt Ryan to play. And I think that's some, I think it'll be a good scoring game for fantasy. So I want in on Calvin Ridley for cheap. All right. Again, fendul.com slash ballers to enter that.

57:08 ↗

One update, just giving everybody out there the context for what's been said about George Kittle and his availability for Monday night. Kyle Shanahan said, we'll see about his availability. And then George Kittle came out and said, quote, I mean, there's issues. He wouldn't divulge the results of the Kittle MRI. He said he's got things in his knee and ankle. And so we saw him suffer the injuries on the first play from scrimmage against Arizona. Remember it? It looked like he hyper-extended his knee. He went down like a sack of potatoes.

57:38 ↗

It looked like he wasn't going to come back. He did. He toughed it out and came and had a great game. This is really interesting because when you started to say that, I assumed he was going to say the opposite because a couple weeks back there was a little bit worry. He missed practice. People were like, oh, no, do we need to worry? And his comments to the reporters were like, dude, I'm totally fine. I'm not missing anything. He was so bullish. And now to have that same person come out and say there's issues. After another injury on the field compared to what he was dealing with before.

58:07 ↗

It's a, like I said, I would personally, I'd pick up Ross Dwelly. But you're picking somebody over Hollister. Like if I'm doing the Monday night pivot, that's why I would go with. But, you know, you could take your shot with Hollister. I mean, two touchdowns last week. That's far more productive than the four for 29 Dwellie had. But, you know, Kittles' upside is so high that it's worth the risk to me to take that alternate pit. I totally agree with you. But I'm just throwing one scenario out. Let's say someone like Eric Ebron is on waivers.

58:37 ↗

A decent start. You know, I think he's our tight-in seven. Would you be willing to, you know, you're the fantasy owner. Would you pick up Eric Ebrun and play him so you get a better option than a Ross Dwellie? Or is Kittle worth the weight? He's 100% worth the weight to me. Yeah. And part of it's what you said. Part of it's he's battled through injuries. Even last week, we thought he wouldn't come back. He comes back. He dominates. And then the other games where he was questionable.

59:07 ↗

He just plays through it. So I still put the, I'm still thinking he's a favorite to play. So I guess to me, I don't want to go down with a one for seven Eric Ebron in a big time winning matchup. Mike, how do you weigh in? I would wait. You would wait. Yeah. All right. I want to thank the studio sponsor today. Pristine auction and Alvin Camara's signed jersey. Oh, my.

59:33 ↗

Oh, Super Camario, $68.57 on pristine auction.com. Invincibility, not included. I think some of that mushroom went to Latavius Murray over the last couple of weeks. It's a star, Andy. Sorry, yeah. How dare you. Maybe Murray got the mushroom and only Super Camario gets the star. Sure. I do think that there's going to be a pretty even workload in this game. I've been saying it for the whole week.

60:03 ↗

He only takes one or two touches from Alvin Camara to make your week. But, you know, he came out and said today he's happy to share the load with Latavius Murray. I don't know if that's kind of a pre-comment so people don't question it after the game when it happens or if we just see all Alvin Camara. But I think Murray has a pretty good week. I've definitely cooled on my hot take of how good a game Camara is going to have. He's still a guy obviously you're going to start, but he's more of a top 12 guy than a top three.

60:31 ↗
