Oh, man. Derek Henry, 29 attempts. Unbelievable. 130 rushing yards. Three rushing touchdowns. Three rushing touchdowns. Now he gets Buffalo next week. So what? Who cares?

I tend to agree. It's Derek Henry, but... I mean, week one... Buffalo looks great. Against Arizona. Derek Henry was the running back 29. He was 17 for 58. Had a terrible game. And obviously those will come throughout the course of the season. You're not doing anything other than rejoicing for all the great games, though. Austin Echler of the Chargers, he had himself a day. 17 carries, 66 rushing yards, two touchdowns.

five targets that turned into five for 31 and one, including at the end of the game a touchdown that he didn't even want to score himself. I love it. Strategically, they were just trying to run out the clock and Cleveland knew, recognized that they had to do something about it. So Echlor takes a handoff inside the five. They were going to let him in. Did I say, I said five for 31? Five for 53.

Sorry. Austin Echler had a great game through the air. But Echler takes the handoff and the Browns picked him up and brought him into the end zone because that was their only play. They had to get the ball back for a chance to win. Very funny play. But Echler ends up with a monster day. Miles Gaskin, the gas man. Five for 25 on the ground. Okay, is Tampa Bay. No big deal. 10 targets. 10 for 74. Two touchdowns through the air.

69% of the snaps way up from where he was. Are we back in on the gas man? He gets Jacksonville in Atlanta. Devante Parker was out for the Dolphins. The target's shifted to the running back position. I'm skeptical. Yeah, I'm not back in on Miles Gaskin. I think this is an opportunity. If you've been.

experiencing the Dolphins and the Miles Gaskin ride, it has not been fun. I can almost guarantee you that you didn't get any of these points, right? Like this. Sure. If Miles Gaskin was in your lineup, I'm sorry for how your lineup is currently going because there's just no way after being the running back. I mean, he hasn't been a running back to.

yet this year. He hasn't been in the top 24 and we were through four weeks of the season. So he was probably on your bench. Now he went outlandish, had an awesome game, looked great, got the targets. And this is where he's going to score is through the air. So it's nice because if you knew he was going to be heavily targeted, week in and week out, he's a great flex play. The touchdowns are probably not going to come a lot. And he had two of them this game. So this is a guy I would be looking to trade high off of the performance.

Super Camario just keeps doing his thing. 16 for 71 and a rushing score eight targets. Five for 51 and one. I mean, he seems unstoppable at this point. Well, he'll be stopped this week because you know what this week brings, Mike? Yeah, I do. By weeks. Yeah. Zeke, 21 for 110 and a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown as well. We had a...

extremely scary moment where it was another fluke thing where Zeke he's going for the pylon the pylon is knocked over and Zeke falls on it like the middle of his back you know almost like he got uh where his legs are trying to touch his head that type of a bending and he was down like he was a man down

where just the way that the afternoon games were trending, it was, yeah, well, of course. Of course Zeke is going to get hurt in this game after we already lost Sequin Barclay. And then the next play, Amari Cooper comes up hobbled and limping. And you're like, goodness gracious. But I'm telling you, Zeke was down for several minutes.

And then he got up and he scored a touchdown. It was like one play later. It was like he took a playoff and same with Cooper. And then next thing you know, they're both on the field and they're fine. Zeke has been great. Yes. He's the running back three over the last three weeks after that week one game that we knew was going to be hard against Tampa Bay. He is one of only two running backs who have been inside the top 10 each of the last four weeks. The other one being Austin Echler. Derek Henry was running back. What a loser.

Nick Chub and Kareem Hunt, both boys from the Cleveland Browns got it done with huge games. They were the main reason why the Chargers had to keep going for it on Fort Down because their defense could not find an answer. Alexander Madison is great. I get it. It's versus Detroit, but still, give the man is due, 25 carries, 113 yards, 7 targets, 7 for 40 and a receiving touchdown. He has filled in.

for Dalvin Cook twice this year, and he has put up massive RB1 numbers both times. Why does it seem like they pass the ball more to Alexander Madison and they do to Dalvin Cook? I don't know. Get Dalvin Cook involved the exact same way. I think what it is is they just believe in the running game more with Dalvin Cook. So perhaps, you know, they run more, but it's like your offense would be better if you use Dalvin Cook the way you're using Alexander Madison.

Someone let him know. Yeah. And so he's been an great insurance running back. James Robinson. He's very good at football. It seems Urban Meyer has finally recognized this. Gave him 18 carries. He ends up with 149 and 1. Should have been 2. Urban Meyer doesn't fully recognize this, though, because we were seeing Carlos hide taking goal line snaps. Fourth and one. You got one shot. You're going to go for it from the goal line. One shot.

And they did throw away their shot because they could have given it to the guy who can't be tackled. Instead, they gave it to Carlos Hyde and he lost five yards. Najee Harris, it wasn't just 19 targets this week for the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Denver Broncos. 23 carries, 122, and a rushing score. He also saw five targets.

How are you feeling about Najee now, Jason? Outstanding. I mean, you know, it was scary at the end of that game. It looked like he pulled a hamstring or, you know, or worse. Thankfully, it was just cramps. But Najee, after that week one performance, just like Zeke, Zeke and Najee's seasons are crazy similar. Week one, they were both around the running back 40, irrelevant, useless. And then from that point on, they have not been outside of the top 12 at running back. They're dominating. They're.

usage is what you want. So I feel great about Naji. And with Juju being gone, that is official now. We did get, he had the surgery here. He was done for this season. Juju is gone. Those little.

dink and dunk targets um dionte and naji just somehow it seems impossible that they could get more targets you're like well no someone else will come in you know maybe james washington will be involved in yes someone else will come in and then dante and naji will get even more targets can we get nagy some bananas yeah like just just have you know get this man some potassium and can we have the iv at the ready can we put big bin in like a suit of armor

Because I just, everything changes for the worst. Like, I know he's bad. He's not going to be any slower. Exactly. I mean, there's no problem. You just want him to be there to check the ball down in Aji. DeAndre Swift, he kind of got it done in garbage time, but garbage time counts for fantasy football. Devante Booker, he was an honorable mention when he took over for Sequin Barkley. He had two touchdowns on the week. Be a huge waiver wire pickup.

Yes, he went. Leonard Fournett. It was the Miami Dolphin, so of course there's going to be a rushing touchdown. He got it done. At the wide receiver position, holy freaking crap, Mike Williams. 16 targets. He has been, in the last month, the wide receiver 9, the wide receiver 1, a bomb of a week where he was the wide receiver 106, where Keenan Allen was also bad, and then the wide receiver 1. How? Okay, I brought it up.

You know, a couple weeks ago, Jason, that I was getting the, this feels like the Chris Godwin Mike Evans season where it's, it's funny to make jokes that Mike Williams is the number one guy on the team. It's funny until it's not. And where are you at this current moment in time? Yeah, I mean, Keenan Allen has been. He's been fine, but he's been disappointing. Obviously, he's good. You look.

back at Keenan's last few games, nine targets, 11 targets, 12 targets, great. He hasn't been doing that much with them, despite some of these targets are, you know, coming in the red zone, but I think you got to make the shift. I was hesitant. Maybe I waited a week too long, but so long as Mike Williams is healthy and with the absolute belief we have in the coaching staff there right now,

And the belief we have in Herbert, Mike Williams has to be seen as, you know, a top five wide receiver right now. I mean, right now on the course of the season, he's the number one wide receiver for fantasy. So, yeah, saying top five is that's, that's low, lower than where he is. Mike Williams, best draft pick of 2021. I think we can. Yeah. I think we can already call that. Your footy.

Is it in the mail? Devante Adams, 11 for 206 and 1. We mentioned it with the boys in Tampa Bay. Antonio Brown, 7 for 124 and 2. Mike Evans, he wasn't doing much, but then he got in the action in the fourth quarter, 6 for 113 and 2. Jamar Chase, Jamarvelous. He keeps getting it done. And this time we saw 10 targets, 6 for 159 and 1. Currently, the wide receiver 6 on the season. Jason.

If you could have drafted Jamar Chase in the fifth round, should you have done that? No, you should have drafted him in the fourth round. You should have never let him get to the fifth. Are you kidding me? He's been great. I love on his first long, deep touchdown reception, Andrew Siciliano said it properly when he said, all he does is catch long touchdowns. Every single week, he's catching a long touchdown. Yeah. Cadarius Tony.

He's, mony, moony, moony here. We had 13 targets 10 for 189. He is just so shifty. Was a big dummy guy himself kicked out of the game. Otherwise, he definitely would have hit 200 yards the way that the game was going. Now, what is interesting for this team is Sterling, the number one, number two, and now the number three wide receiver, I guess, or because Kenny Galladay is in that bunch. And maybe even number four.

I mean, Cadarious Tony was running behind Darius Slayton. That's what I say. Like Sterling Shepard and Slayton were out. When they come back, what happens? I mean, obviously, you can't move away from Tony now at this point through two weeks. Your first round draft pick, Dave, it's me, Dave. Dave, making us look like fools because Cadarius Tony looks fantastic. You have to keep him involved in the offense. But once Shepard is back,
