| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 921 of the official Establish the Run.com podcast. |
| 0:22.9 | My name is Adam Levittan. I am one of the co-founders here at ETR, and we are coming off of a |
| 0:27.4 | Rico Dowdell is indeed God kind of week. Yes, that's right. In two games since Chuba Hubbard |
| 0:35.0 | went down, Rico Dowdell has piled up 234 total yards in week five, |
| 0:40.6 | and then a franchise record, 239 scrimmage yards, in week six. |
| 0:46.0 | I get it. |
| 0:47.2 | He's had two incredible matchups, |
| 0:49.2 | home against Miami and then home against Dallas. |
| 0:51.9 | But I want to highlight this because we talk about it so much during the offseason. |
| 0:57.1 | When a starting running back gets hurt, there is a strong chance his backup can come in |
| 1:01.5 | and put up needle-moving fantasy days. |
| 1:04.3 | Rico is going nuts without Chuba. |
| 1:06.3 | Rashad White is going nuts without Bucky Irving. |
| 1:08.9 | Jordan Mason's a little bit different, but he was good without Aaron Jones. Michael Carter even had a very good fantasy day in week five with James Connor |
| 1:16.4 | and Trey Benson out. Kimani Vidal, who was inactive, comes in Sunday for Amaran Hampton and |
| 1:24.1 | smashes. We had that game last year for the Bucks where both Bucky and Rashad were out. |
| 1:29.7 | Sean Tucker just rolls off the deep depth chart for 200 plus yards. |
| 1:33.0 | I could keep going, but you get the point. |
| 1:36.1 | When Tyreek Hill goes down, League Washington isn't a smash. |
| 1:39.6 | When Malik Neighbors goes down, Darius Slayton isn't a smash. |
| 1:44.3 | When Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are out, Sterling Shepard and Tess Johnson aren't going nuts. |
| 1:48.8 | When Jordan Addison is suspended, Jalen Naylor isn't really viable. |
