Kyren Williams, Isiah Pacheco on Week 2 RB Love list | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

he he discussed it himself he discussed it himself last night this that was the whole plot exactly oh man I'm I'm not talking about anything don't get any ideas Matthew our show is doing just fine we don't need the extra marketing all right love hate running back start with Kiren Williams this week Matthew against Arizona last year averaged over 30 points per game in those two games and guess who he's got on tap this week Arizona oh my goodness you you certainly like that you like the matchup as well the other thing you also like is work rate right 91% of the snaps he got every running back touch for the Rams except for two 21 of 23 just the massive workload that we saw last year for kyen Williams is back again uh this year under Shawn McVey Blake corm got zero fantasy points Blake corm got the same amount of fantasy points Conor as you and I did he got Alexa cutting our Guillotine Le he did indeed sorry Alexa feel bad for that um but the Rams who have a top 10 implied team total this week Vegas expects them our friends at DraftKings expect them to score a lot of points uh Kyrie should be certainly a part of that as well I have him as a top three fantasy running back this week I mean I I think he's just going to have a monster game remember this is a guy who last year against Arizona averaged over 30 points in his two games against the cards yeah would you just drop BL Kum I would not okay I I would not but I would I wouldn't just openly drop him yeah but I do think that I will say that if uh and we're not rooting for this at all but if kyen Williams gets hurt on Sunday it's gonna be Ronnie Rivers yeah I we I again I think Blake corm is a lot more talented and you can speak to this better than I can but Shawn McVey has traditionally been sort of rookie shy remember Zack Evans like Zack Evans like last year K Williams like on a like like Zack Evans couldn't get off the practice squad and I understand Blake km's a better Prospect than Zack Evans ever was very fair but I mean like just zero interest in even going sign Royce Freeman like I think off the street and said here's 15 carries like rather than give Zack Evans work last year again different prospects different places of I clearly Zack Evans wasn't ready for prime time in the eyes of McVey and the coaching staff and Blake Corum might be but my point is is just I thought it was very eyee openening that Ronnie Rivers got two the two non kyen Williams carries uh against the Lions on Sunday night and not Blake corm especially where they drafted Blake corm and maybe this is a guy his body is been destroyed while being a Workhorse for Michigan so maybe they're being very careful with him the first half of his rookie season and preserving him but it was definitely surprising I agree I wouldn't drop him but I would definitely keep a close eye on this and kind of you know outweigh who else is available just because also by the way I mean you liked Blake corm as a prospect right I love him in the scheme too downhill running they have good guards and their lines hurt now but in theory he he can do what Kiren Williams does for the offense and and so when you guys read my LoveHate article which is available for free on RW world.com of course I'm company man the whole premise of my open was just I look I went back and looked at week one last year like just week one last year and just so you know like in week one last year promising rookie Devon hhan was a healthy scratch for the Dolphins in week one last year and obviously ended up finishing as the fifth best running back in fantasy on a points per game basis like the fact that Blake km got zero carries is not for if if you believe in the talent and to your point we believe in in his ability in the scheme and they used a lot more draft capital him than they did on like Zack Evans I wouldn't actively try to to you know get rid of Blake horm yeah and I think that's a big lesson overall out of week one like weird stuff happens in week one two years ago for the Texans Rex Burkhead was the guy over Damen Pierce and then Damen Pierce became the guy and had a really good rookie season so wouldn't read too much into that situation now I think he'll get some run at some point at at the end of week one last year the second best tight end in fantasy was Hayden Hurst he had a monster week one last year week one lies like no other I mean right yeah uh keep pounding exactly thank you there you go look at you look at you you're joining on on the bandwagon Isaiah Pacho also on the love list here Jay 85% of the team running back touches in week one he's got a Bengals team that I think call it would be polite to call them looking Rusty week one they just look lost right now they might have the worst run defense in the NFL it was bad last year I think it might have gotten worse with the Personnel that they lost in the offseason and talk about not overreacting to week one I think you can read a lot into week one for the Kansas City Chiefs in their run game CU there's no no one else in this backfield like it's going to be the Carson steel show no it's the Isaiah Pacho show he's going to get a ton of work and I think that the Chiefs will lean on the run in this game until the Bengals prove that they can stop it like I'm pretty sure the Bengals knew that like jacobe brette was going to be airing it out 40 times and they still can stop mandre Stenson on the ground that's exactly right that's the point is that like there was no threat of a passing game they knew exactly what the Patriots want to do and ra Andre ran all over this team so now they've got to deal with Rashid rice and Xavier worthy and Patrick Mahomes so I think really open running Lanes here for Isaiah Peko who got 85% of the Chiefs running back touches in week one by the way in games without Jerick McKinnon dating back to last year he has now scored an eight straight games Jerick mckin is not going to play again he's not on even on the team so I like P's chances of getting into the end zone and having a big game against the Bengals he's my running back eight this week Josh Jacobs also on the love list we've talked about it this week guys if Malik Willis assuming he's the starter it's going to be a very runhe heavy Packers team and it also helps Matthew that Joe Mixon went off against this Colts defense in week one 178 yards and a total yards and a touchdown to Joe Mixon uh the Colts gave up in week number one and so Jacobs who played 72% of the snaps for the Packers against the Eagles and that was a top 10 rate among running backs so he was already getting kind of a Workhorse role and now the fact that they don't really have that threat of a passing game like you'll see an increase in Emanuel Wilson but I think 25 touches if not more absolutely not out of the question for Jacobs who by the the way also uh in that game against the Eagles got 100% of the Packers Red Zone rushes so if they get in close it's going to Josh Jacobs I'm at running back 13 this week again I'm nervous that the Colts are thinking what we're thinking it's like make Malik Willis prove it to us we're going to load the box and you know we'll we'll take our chances uh but um Josh Jacobs between the talent and the opportunity here easy top 13 play this week against the Colts yeah definitely I'm just watching that guy in Brazil joshh didn't look right like didn't look super explosive he still found his way to production in the end 80 plus rushing yards got a couple of receptions as well and I when I think of Malik Willis I think back to that game believe it was a sun and ey football game Titans Chiefs a couple years ago where Malik Willis was filling in as the starter they Titans threw the ball 16 times all game they ran the ball 29 times and so I think that we're just going to be seeing a ton of Josh Jacobs in this game with the Colts I think that in terms of assessing their run defense it's a little bit difficult because I think that was selling out as you talked about all offseason to stop the receivers on the Tex and stra but still it's not an amazing run defense it was middle of the pack last year so we know what lefl is going to lean on I thought Jacobs looked better in the second half of that game yeah some others receiving votes Brian Robinson against the Giants who had a very strong week one especially contributing in the pass game Tony Pard who looks like the explosive version of Tony Pard against a Jets defense that could not stop a cold in San Francisco and then of course Alexander Madison against the Ravens all the way down this list Matthew well look I mean Robinson to your point about uh his he was tied for the highest Target share on the team you know almost 17% Target share for Brian Robinson the fact that they're using him in both the Run game and somewhat in the passing game is helpful there we talked about uh Pard what a great match with the Jets as you mentioned they're run absolutely brutal he looks back to being the explosive Tony Pard and then Alexander Madison I just this is a guy that had almost a 19% Target share uh we know zamir white is not going to be involved in the passing game so the Raiders uh on the road at Baltimore where they're almost a touchdown Underdog you expect they're likely going to be down and if they're throwing Madison's committing the field a lot more than zamir white and so you know uh he actually played on 73% of the passing plays for Las Vegas in week one was it a tough name to type in on the love list alexand and what look RB 40 let's clarify I me right exactly that's the thing RB 40 but sometimes leagues are deeper you're you know you're not always you know the fact of the matter is is again love hate is about expectations who do I think does better than your general consensus or the projections who do I think does worse Alexander if ever there was a week to fire up Alexander Madison as a flex play in a deeper PPR League this would be a weak because I think they're going to be down and throwing on the road at Baltimore y I like the call on PA it in particular just because that second half from will Levis was like literally zero out of 100 from Levis and it obscured the fact that in the first half poed was dominant against a be's defense it's pretty solid and also he just got all of the carries basically he was like 80% of the carries versus Tai Spears so PO is clearly the guy in that back field until proven otherwise hey it's Matthew Barry from nbcsports.com and rotoworld.com and I want to
