Week five ranking debates. Let's talk to the pros.

0:22.0

Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast.

0:25.0

This is me Joey P. Joe P. Zafia with me today is Pat Fitzmorse as always on Wednesdays because on Wednesdays we do rankings.

0:33.0

That's right. We're going to take a look at Pat's rankings versus our guests versus the ECR at the running back position.

0:39.0

What a time to be alive. Very exciting in our guest. Even more exciting.

0:42.0

Another one of my Jersey guys just like me where I live even though I'm a Brooklyn guy at heart.

0:48.0

It's Bill Enright obviously from sports illustrated bill. It's great to have you on the show and we always like to at the top press the guest Jonathan Taylor is out.

0:57.0

So what do people do now that Jonathan Taylor is not going to be in their lineup. What is the patch look like Philip Lindsey revenge game get ready.

1:06.0

You got Nehem Heinz you got Philip Lindsey there in the in the Coles backfield talk about two more disappointing offenses than the Broncos in the Colts this year.

1:17.0

Both of these teams have been terrible no what no wonder why the under is so low this week.

1:23.0

Now Pat happens to be a decent week for waiver wire R.B.s we talked about out here and boom and a few other guys that you know even where he most certain some leagues might be floating around still we.

1:33.0

We realized that on Monday that Ross of percentage as high as we thought it might be by now.

1:37.0

So I guess if you're going to be without Taylor for a week certainly you're happy you're not without him for a month but at the same time.

1:43.0

You know certainly that's something that fantasy owners are going to have to pivot real quick about.

1:47.0

Yeah definitely and I'm not sure if there any really good replacement options with the Colts you know like we don't know it might be kind of a.

1:56.0

Philip Lindsey Dionjax and Nehem Heinz stew against the Broncos this week so yeah I mean you're probably better off grabbing a Mike Boone and Tyler Alger even Rashad White who saw a snap share tick up a little bit in week four so.

2:12.0

But yeah the Colts running game with no Jonathan Taylor that could be pretty gross this week.

2:18.0

Today we're going to be breaking down the rank discussions here at RB and wide receiver with these two gentlemen here where they rank versus ECR where they rank against each other right here on the podcast running back rankings.

2:32.0

And as always we're going to start at the running back position with the guys that our friend Pat Fitzmorris might like a little bit more than our guests let's start with Khalil Herbert at the top here Pat you've got him at RB 13.

2:45.0

Our illustrious guest Bill and right has met RB 22 ECR is right in between you guys at RB 17 so Pat let's talk about your thoughts on Herbert for the week I feel bad being on the wrong side of bill here because bill was a top five rank or last week I was I think I was outside the top hundred so I guess my thought on Khalil Herbert is that he.

3:05.0

He's actually the running back 13 on the year right now only the running back 25 in week four but that was because he didn't get any of the end zone I mean we like the workload share he's getting here played a 77% snap share in week four 19 carries in one catch.

3:25.0

And we like the match up here I think the Vikings are 27th and run defense DVOA and they have a lot of the fifth most fantasy points to opposing running backs so even though we're not thrilled about the bears offense generally I think we can feel pretty good about the workload Herbert's been getting and I think he should pretty much be an unconditional starter if you've got him on your roster.
