I am doing well. I actually even dropped a reference to you in my show that I just did because of what was it the human dorscht that you said.

Yeah, you said that right. Yeah. I mean, that's a pretty that that's one that's on the table there. That might not even be mine. I don't know. But it's just we were joking about it. It's a layup for that one. There was another one to that's a pretty good way up. I mean that that sounds like more of you than me. But I'm going to go with it for for the moment to like.

I'm not going to take all you're going to take credit because I definitely have the worst ones between us. There was one you'll probably say in the show at some point when running through the ranks. I'll say that's the one because there was another one when I was just doing the show step mom Lauren and I've

You can search them at Pat Mayo decay nation.com. They'll be updated every single day throughout the week. So don't worry about that because the rankings look like today. I mean, if you guys start playing and get activated. All of a sudden that the rankings are going to look we're going to talk through all of those situations. Right now, let's get into the rankings first up. We got the running backs and I got safe one Berkeley.

That number one in the rankings this week, Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey, Nick Chubb, Najee Harris coming in 12345 followed by Austin Eccler, Leonard for net Derek Henry, Khalil Herbert at number nine. Obviously that assumes that there is no David Montgomery for the moment. And then we have Elvin Camara at number 10 Joe Mixon against that pesky dolphins team.

Number 11 Aaron Jones, Cordero Patterson, Jamal Williams, assuming no DeAndre Swift, which is looking more and more alike by the moment that he might miss multiple weeks now, Damien Pierce James Robinson, Alexander Madison, assuming no Delvin Cook, James Conner, Antonio Gibson and AJ Dylan at number 20.

If you're looking for Ezekiel Elliott, Jake, he is in at number 21. Let's talk about Clil Herbert to kick things off because after David Montgomery went down, he was kind of splitting the workload and then the second half, it was all Herbert all the time, but Montgomery might still play this week, right?

I sound dice year than the Delvin Cook situation. They said it sounds positive, but it was just knee and his ankle any left and didn't return. So I don't know they were checking out in the locker room. Obviously didn't have the concussion doctors that to ahead in this whole situation.

But yeah, so I'm more skeptical. I think it's probably at least a week. Obviously this is what Tuesday midday so we could get some news by Wednesday Thursday. But I would be I would lean more on the side that Herbert's playing.

Or Herbert's going to be starting to know Montgomery then, Dolvin Cook being out.

Well, do you think that I have him ranked too highly at number nine? No, because we've seen this before. And he's oh, by the way, facing the Giants team was just let Tony Pollard look like the God and Ezekiel Elliott did fine and I know what they run for like 200 yards and to touch down on that game against the Giants. So they get the Giants.

And we've already seen Cleal Herbert last year. We've seen Cleal Herbert, which is why he was one of the top end backups to have with Jamal Williams, Cleal Herbert Alexander Madison Tony, there was a very select few about five six seven guys. He's one of them because we've also seen him be the bell cow and see him get all the work. Sure.

Ebner might get some touches, but it's going to be 80% Cleal Herbert. And that's what we like so much about him. So let's talk about the Alexander Madison situation for a moment then. Obviously I have him inside the top 20. I would have him higher if I knew the Dolvin Cook was for sure going to be out.

But I run into the circumstance where I look at the matchup. It's the London early game against the Saints. And if those Saints can still do one thing, although that was not evidence into week one, it stopped the run. So I like him. I think that if Dolvin Cook is not there, obviously he's going to get the majority of the touches in the back field.

And Devon, Devon, Delvin Cook was light in the world on fire to begin with. And now you get one of like the top five run defenses in football. I just think that Justin Jefferson eats so much in this game because the Saints past the in the zone coverage really has been good Jefferson destroy zone coverage, which we haven't seen the past two weeks for Minnesota.

So I like him as a start, but not a high end start. I just much prefer Herbert in that spot.

Yeah, I definitely prefer Herbert as well. I prefer who we have in front of them. I would play Joe Mixin and, you know, all the rest of these names where I think Alexander Massens and a fair spot down there with James Robinson and Damien Pierce.

You might, if we knew definitively, I'd probably say Mass and over Damien Pierce, just because their teams and like you said, they weren't light in the world on fire with Dolvin Cook, but still I'll take their teams and take the scoring opportunities for their offense.

So it's not like I'd move that Malibu's Intermassive inside the top 12 in front of Aaron Jones, but I mean, we're talking about two or three spots. Basically, if Delvin Cook is out, you're playing out of the Intermassive, you have my I can't see anybody having that many flush.
