Good morning, friends and enemies. Today's video is the week five running back preview where we go game by game,

letting y'all know if I would sit or start every single fantasy relevant running back. We do this every Wednesday for running backs.

We do this every Thursday for wide receivers. So if you're new here, make sure you subscribe to the channel.

And once you do so, we could hop right into Thursday night football. First game of the week is San Francisco 49ers at the LA Rams. Now the Rams are already six and a half point favorites

in this one, a 46.5 point total. That spread is huge and that is indicating that Vegas does not

expect a lot of the 49ers offensive pieces to be playing in this one, which I think is reasonable

given the practice reports. If we look at the DNPs up top, Joanne Jennings, back-to-back DMPs, Ricky Pearsall, back-to-back DMPs, Brock Purdy, back-to-back DMPs. There is a chance that they're without all three of those players, meaning Mack Jones would end up getting the start and then at receiver.

Juan Jennings was D&Ped all two weeks ago.

Most of last week got one limited practice in.

So I'm like semi relatively optimistic kind of that Joanne Jennings could play.

I'm a little bit less optimistic about the other two, but we'll see about those guys.

And then so yeah, not that it really matters for fantasy because Kyron Williams coming off of a good game last week san francisco's defense just did not look the same without nick bosa who's going to be out for the year so kairn williams i mean if you have them you're obviously throwing him into the must start category he's definitely not sitting on your bench and then seemak he's going to catch upwards of 372 passes in this game with all those weapons out for the Niners. Should also be noted that these are the four teams on the by this week, Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay, and Pittsburgh, meaning no Bijan, Alger, no D'Andre Swift, no Josh Jacobs, and no Caleb Johnstain. No, no Jalen Warren and or Kenneth Gainwell. Next up, we've got Minnesota at Cleveland.

This game is being played 9.30 a.m. Eastern Time in England. Good old England.

We've got Jordan Mason who's coming off of a relatively disappointing performance last week in Dublin. He's still got the work. He's still the workhorse there. I'm not overly concerned

about his role here. The Browns obviously have a great run defense, but at the end of the day. He's still the workhorse there. I'm not overly concerned about his role here.

The Browns obviously have a great run defense, but at the end of the day, Mason's going to see upwards of 18 touches. So he's going to go into the feel good category. Quintchon Judkins is immediately in the feel good category as well. One of the more exciting rookies of the entire class right now. He's playing so well. The over under in this game, Minnesota, Cleveland is 35 and a half. They did announce that it's most likely going to be Dylan Gabriel at quarterback in favor of Joe Flacco, which probably means they're going to be running the ball a little bit more. Dylan Gabriel is a pretty solid mobile quarterback as well. So I just think it's going to be a very run heavy game plan for the Cleveland Browns. And on the flip side, Minnesota, they've been a good past defense, but as you could see, they haven't been great against the run. Right now, they're in the bottom half in terms of fantasy points allowed to the running back position. Also, bottom eight in EPA per rush allowed. So Quinn John Judkins, when I watch him play, he reminds me of Joe Mix in a bit. Like, you don't watch and he doesn't pop off the screen, but he's big, he's powerful. He does everything well, you know, and he's just going to be a workhorse that can continue to deliver a lot of touches for a long period of time. So that would be like my player comp for Judkins if you're trying to think of, you know, who he is when he's on the field or what you can expect over the long term.

He's a guy that you can give 18 plus carries to.

He's a guy that's not going to drop passes when you throw him his way. He's a guy that can be very dependable on the goal line and will continue to score touchdowns when he gets the rock. And I think over the long term, when I think of Judkins, he's going to be one of those guys that's, you know, he's so solid for the team and his upside and his ceiling is going to be dictated by how good the Browns end up becoming over the next like three to five year period in years where the Bengals were a good offense, you know, Mixon had the chance to score 12 to 15 rushing touchdowns. When the Browns are an okay team, I think Jenkins will be able to do do the same and then lastly we've got zavier scott who

played a lot of the passing down role for minnesota in last week's game however i just don't think we're going to get a game script like that against the browns who kind of like drag opponents down in the mud again 35 and a half point total here might catch a couple dumpoffs if they really get in you know catch up mode but i i don't really see that happening so zavier scott for now is going to be a

rather not dallas at the new a couple dump offs if they really get in, you know, catch up mode, but I don't really see that

happening. So Xavier Scott for now is going to be a rather not. Dallas at the New York Jets, Dallas, two and a half point favorites. I mean, Javante at this point, I don't know how many running backs. I want to start over him, especially going against the Jets defense. So he's going right into a must start category. Breece Hall is going to be a really, really strong start as well. I'm having

trouble deciding between a must start category. Breece Hall is going to be a really, really strong start as well.
