00:00But Chris Olave is a guy that I'd be looking to potentially bench today in more shallow
00:09leagues.
00:10Now, I understand in deep leagues and bi-weeks you might not have this choice, but Olave
00:13is ranked wide receiver 23.
00:15To be honest with you, I'd rather put Tank Dell over him.
00:20Wandel Robinson, I think in full point PPR is a far safer play.
00:24Maybe even the upside of a Dontavian Wicks would be the way I would go to Brian Thomas
00:29Jr.
00:30Brian Thomas Jr. would be what Joe would want to finish saying, if that is the fact.
00:39And I do believe that we are still with the Chris Olave thing.
00:43Joe is ready now to continue his thought.
00:45Joe?
00:46I don't know what's going on today.
00:48They must be throttling the internet here in the area.
00:51But look, long story short here, you know, you're in a situation with Chris Olave where
00:57if you have the Wandel Robinsons, if you have the Darnell Moonies, Brian Thomas Jr., even
01:03George Pickens, I would play all of those guys in that same cluster of rank over Chris
01:09Olave today.
01:10I just don't know if the upside's there and how much the passing game is going to be with
01:14the Saints today.
01:15So it becomes a very, very tough start for me for Chris Olave.
01:18I understand in deeper leagues with bi-weeks you might not have a choice, but if you have
01:21a choice and you have some of those names I mentioned, you might want to make that move.
01:25Well, the names definitely help.
01:26And I'm with you.
01:27Anytime you have a questionable quarterback play, you're immediately looking at the running
01:29back, the tight end, slot receivers, trying to look for those safety vows.
01:33All right, let's talk about a running back now.
01:36Let's talk about Alexander Madison.
01:37He has a matchup against Pittsburgh.
01:38What are your thoughts?
01:40It's a tough matchup here against Pittsburgh, regardless.
01:44So I understand he's going to get more of the touches today, and I understand that that's
01:47a plus, but it's not like the Bucky Irving touches I'm getting.
01:50It's not like Tyrone Tracy, who's going to get the bulk of the work now with Devin Singletary
01:56out.
01:57So I just, I don't love this start.
01:59Madison's also a guy that doesn't break a lot of tackles in terms of those metrics.
02:03And Pittsburgh is, has given up the second lowest explosive run rate and the fifth fewest
02:08rushing yards per game.
02:10That's not a great matchup.
02:11So I don't know if it's Zemir White or Alexander Madison or any of these guys that you feel
02:15good about any of the time.
02:17So it's not even talent as much as the offensive line play has not been great for running the
02:21football.
02:22And some offensive, excuse me, some offensive lines are built for that, others are not.
02:27And it clearly seems like the Raiders just aren't.
02:29And when you add in the Pittsburgh defense, it just seems like a bad situation.
02:32So Madison as a streamer is not as exciting as you might think he is.
02:36All right, let's talk about a quarterback that has a lot of factors working either in
02:40his favor or against him, seeing time, location, but he's on an uptick.
02:44Talk to me about Caleb Williams.
02:45Yeah, the Caleb Williams is a tough one.
02:47I know everyone's excited.
02:48He's, he's ranked as a top 10 quarterback, which I thought was odd to me personally.
02:53I just, I don't see that.
02:54I know Jacksonville has struggled defensively, but I think it's a lot to ask him a rookie
02:58quarterback to go to the London game and all the fanfare, everything around it and be focused.
03:02Kirk Cousins, CJ Stroud, Daniel Jones, all ranked after him.
03:05I just disagree with that vehemently.
03:08I think this is a tough situation.
03:09I think this game plays to the under as most London games do.
03:13And although he's been able to pull a couple of rabbits out of his hat, I still just don't
03:16feel confident in Caleb Williams over some of those other names that we mentioned already.
03:22So again, to me, if I'm looking for a streaming QB, there's some better options out there
03:27than Caleb Williams.
