Um, Saquon Barkley, but talk to me a little bit about Saquon, who, uh, is coming off of a down year for him.
17:44
him.Yeah, a- and we're talking, and the reason I'm talking about him here, 'cause I- hell, I just saw him go in the second round of a draft of a bunch of fantasy football analysts, so it's the second round price for me, Matthew, uh, and which was the same as 2024 before he would rush for those 2,000 yards.
18:04
The interesting thing here, right, is despite the down year, he was, I guess, not guess, he still was, uh, a, a top 15 running back in fantasy points per game last year.
18:17
The problem is that's not what we drafted him to be, but he still was a guy you had to start every weekend.
18:24
Last year, Matthew, averaged 17 and a half carries last year compared to 2024, 21 and a half carries.
18:34
That is a significant amount when you talk about the touches, 'cause if you just give him a number that's in between that, 19 and a half, he's rushing for almost 1,300 yards.
18:45
The good thing about, uh, him this year too, Matthew, he's got nine games this year versus teams that were bottom 12 defenses this year.

But we are back here with Lawrence Jackson @LordDontLose from NBC Sports talking about the players we can't stop drafting, and one of them for you, Lawrence, is Zay Flowers.
10:20
Now he gets the Panthers, who just got eviscerated on the grounds, by, uh, Jay Cook.
10:24
Yeah, uh, touchdowns have been the big thing for Josh Jacobs lately.
10:27
He's only got a total of 88 rushing yards on 26 carries in his last two games, so that part of it isn't good and, to be honest, this Carolina run defense isn't as bad as it was to start out the season.
10:40
They've held four of their last five opponents to under 40 rushing yards.
10:44
That includes Breece Hall, Javonte Williams, Davon Achane but the thing is, like I just said, for Josh Jacobs, four straight games with touchdowns.
10:54
Three of those games were two touchdowns.
10:56
I think the Green Bay defense is gonna put it on the Carolina offense which will give the Packers more opportunities for Josh Jacobs to do his thing and he gets back to having some, some of that rushing yardage that we're used to against these Panthers.

... uh, with the Patriots run defense on top.
