Good morning, friends and enemies in today's video. As we do every single Wednesday, we will be

labeling every fantasy relevant running back as a sit, a start, or a flex going through all 30

teams and the matchups that they have. If at any point you just want the rankings, you can go over

to BDGE.co, become a big dog member, the only place in the world to get my personal rankings. We've got a long show ahead of us. I've got a long day ahead of us. I'm already late on this video. We'll jump into Thursday night football. Pittsburgh at Cincinnati. Pittsburgh five and a half point favorites on the road, 43 and a half point total. Jalen Warren last week made his return back to the field. Had it a pretty good game. I still think just looking looking at the eye test he's the best running back they have by a wide margin and this matchup is phenomenal as well so I'm going to throw him into the field's good category I think if you have them like yes there's been a little bit of shakiness to his role right now Kenneth game will had the big day but the end of the day Julian Warren's the best running back that they have and you can't ask for a better matchup versus the Cincinnati Bengals. So he's going right back into my lineup. Chase Brown, you know, Joe Flacco injected a little bit of life into this team. I don't think it's really going to translate to the running game. I think James Brown's efficiency numbers on the ground have looked better over the last three games as compared to the first three games. So maybe they are starting to sink a little bit more as an offensive line.

That being said, I also think the Steelers defensive numbers are extremely skewed to the beginning

of the season when most of their defensive players were injured. Speaking of, let's look at the practice

reports for today. We have DNPs for Calvin Austin. So it looks like he's going to be

out again. Trey Hendrickson is going to be likely out for this one. He was DMP on Monday, DMP on Tuesday.

Maybe he gets back to a limited practice on Wednesday and can suit up, but that would obviously

be another huge loss to this Cincinnati defense. And he's like basically their only good player

at this point. So that would be pretty pretty big for them. You have Mike Cickey and Tanner Hudson trending towards not playing. So opening up more tight end slots for Noah Phamp. But for the running game, Chase Brown, listen, Vegas keeps telling me that his line should be around 62 yards and that his touchdown prop is almost near even. We're not seeing that.

So there's just no way I feel like he's a dub flex in my lineup right now. Like, of course you can start him if you need to and you might not have any better running back options. But he's going to the shaky flex category for me. He will be ahead of Kenneth Gamewell, who's also going to dip into there because Kenneth Gamwell just catches a lot of passes. and anytime you're playing against a team like the Bengals,

you're typically going to just see a ton of running back touches overall for the team. So I could see a world where Jalen Warren gets 15, 16 touches. Kenneth Gamewell gets 6 to 8, 3 or 4 of them coming by way of the air. Caleb Johnson getting a little bit more involved. Maybe we just a little breakout for him.

Maybe just a little breakout for him. Stash Caleb. Stash the goat. We got Rams at Jacksonville,

930. This is the London game. This is a three-point favorite spread for the Los Angeles Rams,

44 and a half point total. In this one, Blake Quorum twisted up his ankle. Right now,

Sean McVeigh is labeling both him and Puka as day to day. I think that probably puts them in the

49 category. Anytime I reference 51.49 is 49 leaning towards those guys not playing. If

Blake Corum's not playing, I mean, I think Kyron's a must start regardless, but he's going to just cement himself into the must start category, even though it's a tough matchup doesn't really matter to me. He's getting a ton of work in all three aspects of the game. Travis T. N's a little bit of a tougher one. His role is not diminished. He's still playing 65% of the snap, seeing the majority of the rushing attempt, seeing some targets as well. Tough matchup. And I think that's like kind of predictable with Travis E.TN. He tends to struggle in tough matchups, but I don't want to over emphasize, you know, some of his down games because he does always bring that level of expulsiveness that he could bust off a 40-50 yard touchdown. So he's still going to be in the feels good category for me, despite having a few down weeks over the last handful of them. And that really only leaves Bayshall, too, and he's going to be in the rather not category until we see some sort of role increase for him. Carolina at the New York Jets, the Jets are one and a half points underdogs in this one, 42 and a half point total. You know, everyone's yelling about how good the Carolina, yeah, you're a casual. You don't know ball if you don't realize that the Carolina defense is fucking all world. Listen, if they can hold Breece Hall under 80 total yards, then you've really got my attention here. Breece Hall is just going to get a bajillion touches. That's just what the case happens to be when Braylon Allen is out. And now you're talking about Garrow Wilson probably being out for this game as well. I mean, that three and a half reception line is crazy to me. But Breeze Hall is a must start. Now, we got to talk about Uncle Rico. Uncle Rico, Chuba Hubbard. This is how I'm looking at the situation. We don't have practice reports yet. We'll get the first practice report on Chuba Hubbard. Dave Canales said he does expect to get reinforcements for the team in terms of some guys coming back from injury. He said Jalen Coker. He mentioned a couple other guys. Chuba Hubbard was amongst those names. Is it a guarantee he comes back? No, it's not. And of course, if he doesn't play Rico Dattle is a must start. But I think what would be more helpful is talking about the situation at large here if Chuba does play. Okay, let's say Chuba plays. The way I'm looking at this backfield is this. Rico, for me, is going to be the guy still in the backfield. I have the your idiot league

mates team where I have both Rico and Chuba Hubbard. If Chuba's active, there's no way I'm

playing him over Rico Dallow right now. This is a good matchup against the Jets defense. I will be

putting Rico Dattle in the Dubflex category. I feel pretty good about having him in my lineup.
