0:00It's full blown panic mode on both the
0:01Patriots and the Chargers, and we'll
0:02talk about New England first. They're
0:03currently bottom five in every metric.
0:05Their O-line has regressed. Their
0:07schedule is tougher this year. Drake
0:08Maye is not himself. I don't know if
0:09he's healthy. He They won't acknowledge
0:11a shoulder issue. Now you don't have
0:12A.J. Brown. I have some questions about
0:14what Josh McDaniels even is as a play
0:16caller and scheme right at this point.
0:17Vegas has these guys projected as a
0:18bottom 10 offense against the Bills.
0:20It's still just like a really ugly
0:21split. Neither of these guys even cross
0:23seven PPR points. And if you're not
0:24scoring, there's not enough to go around
0:26in this backfield. So both of these guys
0:27on a weekly week basis are going to get
0:28ranked as like my RB 27 and my RB 28.
0:31Then we have the Chargers, which is
0:33really concerning from Ryan Heath over
0:34on Twitter. Three members of the
0:35Chargers backfield ran more routes than
0:37Hampton. Ke'Shawn Mitchell, Kamani
0:38Vidal, and the fullback Alec Ingold.
0:40There's now a three-man backfield.
0:41Kamani Vidal, he is now fully involved
0:45getting 17 snaps and four opportunities.
0:47They are really starting to shift things
0:49away from him. The snap shares are
0:50falling. The opportunity is falling. The
0:52Amari and Hampton bell cow workload
0:53isn't going to stick if he's not
0:55producing on that volume. I wouldn't
0:58hold my breath. I mean, we'll see. I
0:59mean, I still love Herbert. I still love
1:00McDaniels. Like all these guys on paper,
1:02the offensive line, it just hasn't
1:03worked.
