| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, it's Thursday, October 5th, 2023. Welcome to the NFL Fantasy football show. |
| 0:15.9 | It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant with my guy, Michael F. Florio. Four weeks into the |
| 0:19.7 | season, we have a better idea of how teams and players are operating and there are some |
| 0:24.0 | guys maybe we have some concerns about. So we're going to go to the concern o-meter or |
| 0:29.4 | maybe the concern o-meter depending on how you decide to pronounce it. And talk about |
| 0:33.7 | our worry level, some of these guys. So let's start with James Cook. Everything seems |
| 0:37.6 | like it's okay with James Cook. Week four, he actually got some goal line carries, like |
| 0:42.2 | that was great. He got one target. That was not great. He also played a season low 39% |
| 0:47.5 | of snaps. The Damien Harris, the Tavius Murray, they're still getting opportunities. |
| 0:53.3 | Where is your concern level for James Cook right now? |
| 0:56.1 | It's still pretty low and I know I was the James Cook one of the, I mean, we both were, |

| 1:04.0 | with the matchup, the bills liked their big running backs in this. And I think part of |
| 1:07.5 | it is that they were blowing out the dolphins and didn't have to use him. Still finished |
| 1:11.6 | as a top 15 running back on the week and is right now your RB 12 despite only having |
| 1:16.0 | one touchdown. I'm still rolling with James Cook everywhere I have him. I'm not super |
| 1:20.4 | worried. I just want, I want to have it all. Maybe I'm greedy, right? Like first he gets |
| 1:24.6 | all these targets, but no goal line carries. Last week he gets goal line carries in like |
| 1:28.5 | very few targets. Why can't we have both? Why can't we do that, Sean McDermott? That's |
| 1:33.5 | all I want. Why can't we have both? Porque no los dos. That's all I want to know. Otherwise |
| 1:37.6 | I'm generally pretty not worried about James Cook. Darren Waller, the Giants, here's the |
| 1:43.2 | thing about them. They're bad. Darren Waller has three games, just three catches this |
