| 0:00.0 | Injury updates starts and sits and your questions right now on fantasy football today in 5. |
| 0:10.2 | Sunday morning, two hours until kickoff, Jaguars and Dolphins. |
| 0:14.4 | Actually, Trevor Lawrence versus two in Tongue by Loa. |
| 0:16.3 | That's pretty good. |
| 0:17.1 | That's appointment viewing everybody. |
| 0:18.8 | We'll get your lineup set right now. |
| 0:20.0 | I'm Adam Azer with Heath Cummings on FFT and 5. So let's talk about the replacement running backs now. |
| 0:25.1 | Christian McCaffrey's on IR. So it's definitely going to be Chuba Hubbard this week. And at least for the next three weeks, that's a tough break, by the way. But we've got Darrell Williams, we've got Chuba Hubbard, we've got Devante Booker, Alex Collins, we've got Khalil Herbert. |
| 0:37.0 | How do you feel about this group in general? |

| 1:06.6 | The other guys are low-end number two. One more guy in there, Alex Collins. |
| 1:11.0 | He's at the back of the group for me, |
| 1:13.2 | just because I don't know how many points to expect from the Seattle offense |
| 1:17.5 | against a very good Pittsburgh defense. |
| 1:19.9 | Okay. |
| 1:20.5 | Hubbard, yeah, I'm excited about him. |
| 1:22.3 | I'm starting him over Chase Edmonds and PPR |
| 1:24.2 | because the Vikings run defense is so bad, |
| 1:27.4 | and they will be without starting |
| 1:29.3 | defensive tackle Michael Pierce. So the matchups are really good and he got 29 touches last week. |
