We haven't 37 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 1: done it since pre pandemic, but before the pandemic we 38 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,919 Speaker 1: were drawing thoy twelve hundred people. It's free. We encourage 39 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: you to come out August twelfth. So that's uh. I 40 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: want to get that little bit of news out there. 41 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 3: And then. 42 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: This week's show Brian Lottery ticket running backs. 43 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot. 44 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: These are the guys who can and single handedly propel 45 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: your season. Late round draft picks, Guys that in some 46 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: cases aren't even getting drafted, that have the opportunity to 47 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: step into a starter's role and go be effective. That man, 48 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: that's half the that's half the battle if you can 49 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: go get some running back that's gonna pan out from 50 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: the twelfth round or the fourteenth round or the sixteenth round. 51 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. 52 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: These are all lottery ticket running. 53 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: Backs, and a lot of them even if the starter 54 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 3: doesn't go down or gets suspended drive his Lambeau one 55 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 3: hundred and even that's a wide receiver conversation running. But 56 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: they still have some value even with I think so 57 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 3: manse guys do, because really that the bell cow is extinct, 58 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 3: the bell cow running back. Sadly, I'm not living in 59 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 3: the priest homes or going back further, Emmitt Smith, Barry 60 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 3: Sanders days, and I just. 61 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: I saw a great stat relative to that in twenty ten, 62 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: and for the decade prior to that, they're averaged seven 63 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: backs that would get three hundred carries a year. Now 64 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: there's one and a half per year on average. Now, 65 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 1: is it bel Coow's dead? 66 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 3: Is there a draft strategy that you think these running 67 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 3: backs are about to mention would fit. 68 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,839 Speaker 1: Into you call it the opposite around here? 69 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 3: Definitely not zero running back around these parts. 70 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: Definitely not. Okay, So we're going to give you some 71 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: lottery ticket running backs, and the way we've set this 72 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: up because you've got to put some parameters on it. 73 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: They are. These are backs that have a lack of 74 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: competition to at least be like the immediate backup behind 75 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: the starter. None of these guys are starters, But I 76 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: am throwing out deep complicated backfields like the Eagles with 77 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: Rashad Penny and DeAndre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott. 78 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: They're out because that divides the pie up way too much. 79 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: I mean, even if Whenshod Penny goes down, this thing's 80 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: still messy, right, So in in in these cases, these 81 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: are all guys that are like one step away from 82 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: getting some real playing time. 83 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: The Jets is another example. Well, something has already happened 84 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 3: to Breeze Hall, right even with Breese Hall, who was 85 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 3: put on the pup list for the preseason, by the way, 86 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 3: but there's still I isy A, Bonnie Conda, Michael Carr, 87 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 3: Damn Night. So oh yeah, it's too muddled so that 88 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: they're not talking about these guys. 89 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: They're out, And we're also going to give you all 90 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: guys and you alluded to this that for them to 91 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: get time, it's more than just like the starter needs 92 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: a blow out a ACL. So I mean, you know 93 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: these are all guys. You can make a case. I'm 94 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: getting time for different reasons from that. Anyway, you've got 95 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: some NFC lottery ticket runners. I've got AFC all the 96 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: way around. For you have AFC, I have NFC. 97 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 3: Gave me a little bit of a heart attack. 98 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry about that. Okay, prep correctly for this. 99 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 3: Good. 100 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you go first, give me a an 101 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: AFC lottery ticket runner. 102 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 3: Oh, I think this will. I got two you're gonna love, 103 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: but I won't start with your favorite, but probably probably 104 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,119 Speaker 3: your one. B in terms of favorites in the AFC 105 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 3: is Damien Harris. Harris of the Bills right now, yeah, baby, 106 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: going off the board is RB thirty eight, pick one 107 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: seventeen overall. James Cook is going more than twenty picks 108 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 3: earlier than Harris, so he is the presumed starter by 109 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 3: the fantasy community. But is he really like especially on 110 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 3: first and second downs, right, I think it's Harris. I mean, 111 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 3: even before we don't again, we don't want anything to 112 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: happen to these starting running back but this is just 113 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: in the event of but even without something happening to Cook, 114 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: I think Harris is the guy I would rather have 115 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 3: between the two, especially with adp baked in. So Harris 116 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 3: a guy I've been targeting heavily all off season in 117 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: my drafts. And again he's gonna be the guy at 118 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: the goal line. Yeah, not James Cook. It's gonna be 119 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: Josh Allen before James Cook. But when Harris has been healthy, 120 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: he and he can catch passes. He has three down 121 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: back potential. And there's Nahem Hines and Latavius Murray and 122 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 3: Buffalo too, but they're now facts, they're not really factors here. 123 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 3: So Damien Harris my number one lottery ticket running back 124 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 3: to TEA. 125 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: I think that's a great angle. And Damian Harris has 126 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: got ten touchdown upside in him. 127 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 3: Yeaham offense in that offense yet I don't think No, Yeah, 128 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 3: that offense Harris for sure, massive upside if you stay healthy. 129 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with a player not many people even 130 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: know the name of, and that's Giants rookie running back 131 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: Eric Gray as my lottery ticket guy, my first of 132 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: several in the NFC. Saquon Barkley's threatening hold out, but 133 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. Nobody ever holds out The last 134 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: guy held out was Le'Veon Bell and he has spent 135 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: the last two years at any at anybody will listen. 136 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, biggest mistake in my life. I never 137 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: should have held out. He said that he had a 138 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: He was just on a podcast or tweeted about this 139 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 1: just a couple of days ago. How he never should 140 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: These guys aren't gonna hold out. 141 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 3: He regrets it, he regrets it. 142 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: Let's talk about fifth round rookie Eric Gray. And I'm 143 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: not interested in Matt Brita. I think we've seen everything 144 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: Matt Brita brings to the table and it's just not enough. 145 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: So there's an opportunity for Gray here. Uh. What I 146 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: don't like is he's slow, below average speed on power, 147 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: but he is extremely balanced, He's very agile, he's super shit. 148 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: He's got darting quickness, steady pass catching skills. He's basically 149 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: a poor man's Barkley, which is why the Giants drafted him. Schematically, 150 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: he fits into just what Brian Dable wants to do 151 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: with Saquon Barkley. So for when Saquon Barkley's off the 152 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: field or in the event of injury, or if he 153 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: does actually if he's dumped crazy enough to hold out, 154 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: then Eric Gray's the guy want not Matt Brita. 155 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: I agree, And you're doing our listener as a favor 156 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 3: because right now the narrative is, go get Brita if 157 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 3: you're worried about Barkley. And no, he's not the guy. 158 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of Matt Brita. He ain't the guy, 159 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: not the gay. We know that, so I think they'll 160 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: they'll give a shot at Eric Gray. All right, who's 161 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: your next AFC at lottery ticket running back? 162 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: Well, this is really your guy, but I like him too. 163 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: I don't adore him as much as you, but he's 164 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 3: up there. It's Tank Bigsby of yeah, baby, he's running 165 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: back forty five right now in terms of ADP won 166 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: forty overall. Travis Etn currently RB fourteen. So we're talking 167 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: talking about a thirty running you know, thirty spots running 168 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 3: back right when it comes between Etn and Bigsby. Recently, 169 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: this is what the Jaguars running back coach had to 170 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 3: say on Tank and Bigsby. Who remember, Travis Etn was 171 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 3: drafted by the old regime, the Urban Meyer regime. So yeah, 172 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: this regime woves the Tank. Running backs coach for the 173 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 3: Jaguars recently said Tank is the type of back we 174 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 3: wanted to bring to the table, and he fit everything 175 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: that we were looking for. He popped off the screen 176 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 3: and again they love him. I wanted to leave some 177 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: time for you to gush over Tank maybe a little 178 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 3: bit more. But he's got three down potential. You know, 179 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 3: he's a three down back. He can, he can. He 180 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: might just outright take this job from Travis Etn. 181 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: I agree. I think that these too. In fact, my 182 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: probably my boldest take of the entire offseason so far. 183 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: I think Tank Bigsby scores more Fantasy points than Travis 184 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: Etn will It's possible. Here's we know. Etn doesn't catch 185 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: as much as we want, as people want, as listeners knows. 186 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: I throw out this stat maybe a month ago. Travis' 187 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: Etn averages two catches for eighteen yards through the air. 188 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: That's it. So he doesn't catch. He's not a goal 189 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: line guy. They were forced into trying him at the 190 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: goal line last year. Didn't work. Tank Biggsby's going to 191 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: get the goal line carries. I think you're looking at 192 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: a lot of games at Travis Etn of like twelve 193 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: carries for forty yards, scoreless, and that's gonna really make 194 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: things tough and Bigsby's gonna I think Biggsby's going to 195 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: do more with his opportunities, so it might be a 196 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: better pass catcher, totally important. 197 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 3: One forty overall, again, I think we see that ADP 198 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 3: creep up closer to the top one hundred towards the 199 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: end of the summer for Bigsby. 200 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,359 Speaker 1: My next guy, my next lottery ticket from the NFC 201 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: Minnesota Viking running back ty Chandler, Alexander Madison is just 202 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: a guy. He's a jag, as they say in the business. 203 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 3: I call him Alexander me then. 204 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's something to that. We've seen a lot of him, 205 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: you know here in Minnesota. I've seen every one of 206 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: his carries. He's not a bad running back. It's also 207 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: not a great running back. He also has limited pass 208 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: catching skills. Ty Chandler brings to the table explosive upside. 209 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: We saw it in college, we saw it last year 210 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: in the preseason, and he's a better receiver. I think 211 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: this preseason is still way more of an open battle 212 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: for playing time and even the starter's role than people realize. Furthermore, 213 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: I don't think Alexander Madison's gonna hold the number one 214 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: spot all season long. I think sooner or later, just 215 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: his his his lack of explosiveness and upside is gonna 216 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: cost him a starting job for some period of time. 217 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: Ty Chandler's gonna have an opportunity to step in and 218 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: take those take those spots. So ty Chandler, and by 219 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: the way, I think he's the guy you want, not 220 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: Dwayne McBride, the seventh round pick. You want ty Chandler 221 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 1: from last year, because really did pop in the offseason. 222 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: Actually had a chance to ask Kevin o'can about ty 223 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: Chandler in on roughly April loves him, loves him now 224 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: that coaches always say they love their guys, but you know, 225 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: you can kind of tell when they're really going to 226 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: bat for a guy. 227 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 3: In his eye no one could see except you except me. 228 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: That's right, that's how we're on the I was looking 229 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 1: deeply into Kevin O'Connell's eyes. 230 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 3: Oh, he's got dreamy eyes. 231 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 1: Very much so well, we've all seen it on Netflix. 232 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 3: Quarterback. That's right, it's not a but in person, I'm 233 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: sure it's a whole nother story. 234 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, well very Yeah, it's Oh, it's even better in person. 235 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 3: Quarterback real quick? What'd you think? 236 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: Well, I think it's pretty good, but I you know, 237 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: but I'm a Kirk Cousins apologist, and I think it's 238 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: so healthy for Viking fans to see the pounding he 239 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: took last year. He no appreciation for that guy dragging 240 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: himself off of the field after these monster hits and 241 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: doing everything he has to do to get right for 242 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: the next Sunday. They just take for granted, Viking fans 243 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: to take for granted that Kirk Cousin's going to be there. 244 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: They don't know what he was going through to get 245 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: right after being the most hit quarterback last year, the 246 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: third most hit quarterback the year before that, and the 247 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: most hit quarterback the year before that. 248 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's going to be sore in his forties and 249 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 3: the rest of his life. It could be. He's a 250 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: good singer, though I didn't realize what a good singer 251 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: Kirk was. 252 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: Nobody knew a lot of gospel hymns, right, things like that, Okay, 253 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: let's go to one more lottery ticket running back and 254 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: then we'll sneak in a quickly. 255 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 3: All right, It sounds good. Well, I'll make this one quick. 256 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 3: Jalen Warren of the Steelers, who I like a lot 257 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 3: as a lotto ticket back out of the AFC, running 258 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 3: back forty four right now off the board in most drafts. 259 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 3: Najee Harris currently RB thirteen the presumed starter. He will start. 260 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 3: But if something were to happen to Harris, and something 261 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 3: sort of did happen to Harris last year had the 262 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 3: Liz Frank injury, Warren came in, wasn't starting, but he 263 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 3: was essentially splitting time with Harris. But then Warren hurt 264 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 3: his foot too, so they were both dinged up behind 265 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 3: a really bad offensive line. But the Steelers were top 266 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 3: twelve and rushing play percentage last year. They revamped that 267 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 3: O line this offseason. So Jalen Warren, I mean, I'm 268 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 3: bullish on this Steelers offense just at cost. I'm not 269 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 3: saying it's gonna be the most explosive offense in the NFL, 270 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 3: but they've brought I think Kenny Pickett takes a step 271 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: forward in year two, and if something were to happen 272 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 3: to Harris, I think Warren could step in and essentially 273 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 3: fill his shoes. And you're getting them at a much 274 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 3: cheaper price than you are for Najie Harris Warren another 275 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: guy that I've been actively targeting and might do the 276 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 3: opposite drafts when. 277 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: We come back.

Go go for that. 306 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 3: AFC is loaded with lotto running backs. My next guy 307 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 3: up is someone I've been kind of preaching or tweeting 308 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 3: about praising since once the draft ended. Because the Cleveland 309 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 3: Browns did not add any running backs in the draft. 310 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 3: They let Kareem Hunt walk. So I've been loving Jerome Ford. 311 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 3: I've watched his ADP go from free to now it's 312 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 3: one sixty five where he's RB fifty. 313 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: People are starting to warm up to jar Ford. 314 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 3: Because he's basically the only guy behind Nick Chubb. We're 315 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: not worried about Demitric Felton Junior or John Kelly Junior 316 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 3: and Nick Chubb now with Saquon Barkley kind of you know, 317 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 3: worried about him. He's moved into up to RB four. 318 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 3: He's pushing late first round, you know, draft capital status, 319 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 3: so something would happen to him. Jerome Ford is not 320 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 3: Nick Chubb, but he really pow has not at Cincinnati. 321 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 3: He was a rookie last year was an awful landing 322 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 3: spot for him. Last year with the. 323 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: Brown no playing time and maybe not even any carries 324 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: because he was for you he had. 325 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 3: Like very minimum. Yeah, he was behind Chubb. Of course 326 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 3: Hunt and Caris Johnson who's in Jacksonville. But we're not 327 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 3: worried about him, and we're going back to Tank Bigsby talk. 328 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 3: But Jerome Ford, he will see the field too. Even 329 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 3: with Nick Chubb healthy, Nick Chub's not gonna get a 330 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 3: hundred percent of the carries. I think Ford will still 331 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 3: see eight carries per game, twelve ish touches he can 332 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 3: catch too. Brown's top eight and rushing play percentage last year. 333 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 3: They love to run the ball, usually have a great 334 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 3: old line. So Jerome Ford, even even though I was 335 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 3: getting him for free a few months ago, I'm still 336 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 3: paying the forty rounds that he's gone up or for 337 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, forty picks that he's improved upon. I still 338 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 3: think he's worth taking a shot on there for if 339 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 3: something were unfortunately to happen to Nick Chubb. 340 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: Here's a player who's ADP is often so low it's 341 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: not even listed on ADP reports, Yet he is sitting 342 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: in a primo spot to get playing time. I'm talking 343 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: about Buccaneers rookie running back Sean Tucker now is going 344 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: into the draft. He was widely graded as roughly a 345 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: round five kind of guy, which is fine. He went undrafted, 346 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: and had he played in the SEC or the big 347 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: Tennis out of the ACC, I'm guessing that he probably 348 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: would have been like a round three or four projection. 349 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 3: And he went undrafted because he didn't test at the 350 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 3: combine or have a pro day. He had some he 351 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 3: had injury. 352 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: He had, he had an injury. 353 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 3: He should be good to go. And he was the 354 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 3: first undrafted free agent running back signed. Like it was 355 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 3: right off the like that. Yeah, yep, Now he has got. 356 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: You're not watching a lot of breaking down a lot 357 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: of Syracuse tape, I know, but dang does he pop 358 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: off the tape. Wow, he's got remarkable vision burst, He's 359 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: got explosiveness, one cut runner, he's really shifty, he can 360 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,239 Speaker 1: move laterally. And Sean Tucker is a good receiver. At 361 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: thirty six catches last year, there's a real opportunity for 362 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: Sean Tucker with the Buccaneers. He's just he's got a 363 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: handful of special traits that you're looking for that goes okay. 364 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: Maybe he's you know, Shawn Tucker's not like you know, 365 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: he's not the second coming of Adrian Peterson. He's got 366 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: a couple of things that he does really well that 367 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: should work at the NFL level. Chase Edmonds is in 368 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: that backfield. He's not a factor. 369 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 3: I hate Chase Edmonds. 370 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: Rashad White is the starter. He topped out as he's 371 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: top the most carries he's ever had in a season, 372 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: including college at Arizona State, one hundred and forty eight carries. 373 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: That's it. 374 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not the guy people are presuming he's just 375 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 3: gonna be a bell cow because he's the only one 376 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 3: anyone's ever really heard of in the Bucks back. 377 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 1: I think White's going to be in a rotation. I do, 378 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: and I think Sean Tucker is the best candidate to 379 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,719 Speaker 1: be the other part of that rotation, Sean Tucker effectively 380 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: free ADP. So low, it's off the it's at the 381 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's off the it's off the list. So yeah, 382 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: let's go try a little Sean Tucker. 383 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 3: Buccaneers right and took him in either the twenty first 384 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 3: or twenty second round of the scott Fish Bowl and 385 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 3: most drafts don't go twenty one to twenty two rounds. Right, 386 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 3: he was still there, Yes, in a point per carry 387 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 3: league too, So yeah, he's free, but he shouldn't be. 388 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 3: So if you don't know Sean Tucker, you do. 389 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: Now let's go to the next AFC lottery ticket running back. 390 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 3: Well, this is we'll still call him a lottery ticket. 391 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 3: It's Samir White of the Raiders. Now, Josh Jacobs could 392 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 3: he could seriously hold out? We said Barkley probably won't. 393 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: But then the Giants, anybody's gonna hold up. 394 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 3: The Giants actually offered Barkley a contract extension. Supposedly the 395 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 3: Raiders didn't even we're the Raiders, like, you don't want 396 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: to lose with us, will lose a value. We're in 397 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 3: the AFC West, we're in the if we're not going 398 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 3: on the playoffs, or not winning the Super Bowl. 399 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: We can lose with or without you. 400 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 3: And we got Samir White, who everyone if if you recall, 401 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 3: he Josh Jacobs didn't start the Hall of Fame game 402 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 3: the first preseason game last year, and everyone's like, oh, 403 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,239 Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs is dust, like they're not even playing him 404 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: in the and we all know how that turned out. 405 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs was a top five running back. But Samir 406 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 3: White looked good in that game. He didn't play a 407 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 3: ton last year because they just you know, they Jacob's 408 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 3: into the ground, assuming they let him walk, but they 409 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 3: tagged him again. But he's holding out or could hold out. 410 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 3: But anyway, right now, Zamir White, he was free just 411 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 3: like Sean Tucker. He's at RB sixty two. But people 412 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 3: are starting to realize that he could be the guy 413 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 3: if Jacobs holds out, or he will be the guy 414 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 3: if Jacobs holds out. The other backs on roster right 415 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 3: now are a mere Abdullah and Brandon Bolden are not 416 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 3: worried about factors. But even if, hopefully they figure something 417 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 3: out with Josh Jacobs, but if something were to happen 418 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 3: to Josh Jacobs, I don't think they're gonna be signing 419 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 3: him a long term I'm not gonna speculate there, but 420 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 3: they're gonna give Zamir White more touches this season and 421 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 3: again if he gets the starting gig, whether it's through 422 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 3: holdout or injury, it's it's jackpot. T'm right now, but uh, 423 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 3: that ADP's gonna go up day by day. 424 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: The next rookie. Well, it's not all rookies all. There's 425 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: a lot of rookies a lottery pick running backs. For me, 426 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: it's Rams rookie Zach Evans. ADP right now is two 427 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty. So also effectively free lots of questions 428 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: around cam Akers right now. Cherry looked good in December, 429 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: but he was awful in September, October, November when he 430 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: was doing nothing with the Rams. He got excommunicated from 431 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: his own team for a couple of weeks last year, 432 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: Remember that where they were like, no, we don't need 433 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: you in camp, we don't need you, we don't need 434 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: you at practice. You just stay home. No running back 435 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,959 Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL has put together a 436 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: particularly good career after the Achilles injury. The all time 437 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: high water mark for running backs coming back from Achilles 438 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: is Donta Foreman, and that ain't saying much. So let's 439 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: go back to Zach Evans. He was expected to be 440 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: drafted in the third round, but he slid to Los 441 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: Angeles in the sixth round, and man, did they get 442 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: a gem. He averaged almost seven yards per carry and 443 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: eleven yards per catch over his three year career at 444 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: TCU and then last year at Ole Miss. Zach Kevin 445 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: is a good breakaway back. He's explosive, He's got fantastic 446 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: foot work. He can give defenders the slip. He's got acceleration, 447 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: he can win at the corner. He's got great he's 448 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: got great angles, he can weave through defense. Zach em 449 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: is a good player and he could flat out just 450 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: beat out cam Akers. It's not impossible. He's the weak 451 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: one starter now again, cam Akers will good in December, 452 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: and I'm not taking that away from him, but I 453 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: think this thing's way way shakier, and cam Akers is 454 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: way way shakier than people realize. Zach Evans potential lottery ticket. 455 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 3: Love it. Let's go to your next guy, another rookie, 456 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: ty J Spears of the Titan. 457 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: I know you're gonna go here. 458 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 3: I feel like We've talked about a lot on this show, 459 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 3: but deservedly so. Right now, going off the board is 460 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 3: running back fifty three, Derrick Henry the obvious starter, running 461 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 3: back eight, so another massive delta there. Titans were top 462 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 3: six and rushing plapersage last year, and Derrick Henry he's 463 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 3: getting up there in age and usage. Twenty nine, twenty 464 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 3: nine years old. And Spears has had some knee issues 465 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 3: in the past, but as of right now, we're only 466 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 3: talking about twenty twenty three. That's what it is, right 467 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 3: We're not talking dynasty long term outlook. His knees are intact, 468 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 3: so he's healthy. So I'm excited to see what he 469 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 3: can do this year. He's gonna he's gonna spell Henry 470 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 3: at times for sure, especially on third down. But if 471 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 3: something were to happen to Henry or Henry falls off 472 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 3: the cliff, Spears is an enticing option. Last year at 473 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 3: tu Lane, where he went to college, of course, he 474 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 3: finished fifth in rushing yards and yards per carry in 475 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 3: the country among all FBS schools. Per Dane Brugler of 476 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 3: the Athletic, a well renowned Scout College Scout, Yeah, Spears. 477 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: His work in the Beast is unbelievable. 478 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's staggers. It's like a bible. It's basically like 479 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 3: the thickness of a bible. All about just every last 480 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 3: He says, Spears a slippery runner with dynamic start stops, 481 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 3: cutting skills, patient vision, and darting acceleration, which are highlighted 482 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 3: on encounter and outside z own plays. There's more very 483 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 3: nice things he says about him. I'll stop now, but 484 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 3: at Ty J. Spears another guy I'm targeting heavily. 485 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, there were a lot of people that got very 486 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: wow by Spears at Senior Bowl. I think it was 487 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, you know, throughout the offseason, at the Combine, 488 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: at the Pro Day, Spears looked remarkable. 489 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think he only slid in the draft because 490 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 3: of the knee issues. But there's no there's no problem 491 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 3: right now. That was just all long, long term outlook 492 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 3: was the reason for his slide. 493 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: All right, My final lottery pick running back Brian. And 494 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: by the way, before I get to my final guy, 495 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: if you are in a guillotine league, be sure to 496 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: be listening to the Chop podcast.

Maybe 498 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: even subscribe to Chop the Guillotine League podcast idea. 499 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 3: And this is my. 500 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: Least favorite out of all of my of all of 501 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: my lottery ticket guys, because I don't think he's that good. 502 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: Dallas is back up, Malik Davis. His ADP right now 503 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: is two hundred and ten. Your new offensive coordinator in 504 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: Dallas is Brian Schottenheimern And we don't know how for 505 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: sure he's gonna shake things up compared to what Kellen 506 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: Moore was doing well he was offensive coordinator. 507 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 3: Hopefully he doesn't score too fast or too much. 508 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, wasn't that part of the reason that, yeah, we 509 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: gotta let him go with you? Too many points? All 510 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: points are out here in Dallas. Shawnheimer's gonna change things up. 511 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: But if we do go back to when he was 512 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator last he was three years he was offense 513 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: coordinated for Seattle. In two those three years, Chris Carson 514 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: posted two hundred and fifty touch seasons, which would still 515 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: leave like one hundred and fifty touches on the table 516 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: for somebody else. Lak Davis's next man up. I didn't 517 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: think you look special last year at all, really, But 518 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: fantasy football is about opportunity. Tony Pollock's never proven himself 519 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: to be a work horse. We don't know that they're 520 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: gonna make him a work horse. He might just be 521 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: sitting at like two hundred touches. Maybe that's it, so 522 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: there could be some extra work to go along. Again, 523 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: I don't think Malik Davis is a special guy, and 524 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: do's fawn to be by the way, not even a 525 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: factor here. 526 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 3: He's five five, he's darren Sproles. 527 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not going to factor in. 528 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 3: He'll catch passes, but that's about it. Correct. 529 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: He could we could only hope to be darren Sproles. 530 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: Darren Sproles is a borderline Hall of Fame guy. 531 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. I didn't want to make you the Apples to 532 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 3: apples comparison in terms of talent, but size, size and roll. 533 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. There you go. Uh to Malik Davis, 534 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: somebody you could throw a dart at at the end 535 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: of your draft. Again, I think I'd go with all 536 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: the other po all the other players both Brian and 537 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: I have mentioned before Malik Davis. But the opportunity could 538 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: be there. 539 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 3: I got a couple more I'll run through them real quick. 540 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 3: Another one of your guys Gus Edwards the Ravens absolutely 541 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 3: running back fifty eight right now, going a little too late, 542 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 3: h JK. Dobbins will be the starter this year, but 543 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 3: if something would happen to Dobbins, Edwards would be thrust 544 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 3: into the starting role and expected electric offense. Now Baltimore 545 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 3: has been historically run heavy. Last year they had the 546 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 3: second highest rushing play percentage. That is likely to change 547 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 3: with Todd don't call me art Monkin as a new 548 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 3: offensive coordinator. But Edwards, like Dobbins, two years removed now 549 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 3: from major knee injury, so he will see the field 550 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 3: as well. Dobbins is going to get all the work, 551 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 3: so they're a standalone value as of right now. But 552 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 3: if something were to happen to Dobbins, Edwards presumably would 553 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 3: see the lion's share of touches out of the Baltimore backfield. 554 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 3: And lastly, this is I guess low hanging fruit, but 555 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 3: not low hanging fruit that I really want to eat. 556 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 3: It's Devin Singletary of the Texans now former bill RB 557 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 3: forty nine. That delta is just not big enough between 558 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 3: he and Damian Peers. And by the way, some people 559 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 3: think Singletary is going to push Damian Pierce to be 560 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 3: the start. We are not those people. No, we are 561 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 3: not those people. 562 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: No, there's a word for those people. Wrong. 563 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm not thrilled about Singletary just because he's 564 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 3: really one of the more expensive guys we're talking about, 565 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 3: and he's not. He's arguably the least exciting talent that 566 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 3: we've talked about on this episode. So again, if something 567 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 3: were to happen to Piers, Singletary would be the guy. 568 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 3: But the Texans offense really not that enticing right now. 569 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,239 Speaker 3: We'll see, but I'm not expected to put up a 570 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 3: ton of points both Piers. 571 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: But I love Pierce. 572 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 3: Singletary not not so much even if something wereld happen 573 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 3: to Pierce. 574 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: I've seen some tweets by the fantasy community other experts 575 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: that have said, you know, why am I buying Damian 576 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: Pierce finish his RB twenty four last year? How is 577 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 1: he gonna get any better? The way Damian Pierce is 578 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: going to get better this year, planted in my flag 579 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,919 Speaker 1: right now is as a pass catcher. He was a 580 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: good pass receiver in college. The last coaching staff was 581 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: totally inept. This coaching staff is going to unlock his 582 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: receiving abilities. Another year in the pros, he's going to 583 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: be better pass protection. He'll be on the field more 584 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: third downs. Damian Pierce is going to ppr his way 585 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: into a top ten, top twelve season. And right now 586 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: he's going off the board like our be seventeen eighteen 587 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 1: something like that. I think he's got I think he's 588 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: got top ten upside in him. I love Damian Pierce, 589 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: as you know. Thanks for listening, everybody. 590 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 3: Uh, hopefully we don't have to redo this show because 591 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 3: still Dalvin Cook Korea. 592 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, I meant to say that. I had that as 593 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: a note for the very beginning, but put it at 594 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: the end. Who knows, you know, we're recording Cook, Elliott, Hunt, Fournette, 595 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: all free agents. They could suck up the works. 596 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 3: Of course, hopefully they won't. I feel like they're gonna. 597 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 3: I think they're gonna go to the more muddled teams 598 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 3: though that we sort of talked about earlier on The 599 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 3: Jets are a candidate, the Patriots are one. I kind 600 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 3: of I was gonna mention Pierre Strong, but there's steam 601 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 3: that good. Yeah, who knows. 602 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: And by the way, Vermandri Stevenson, Oh, I love him. 603 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, again and we don't want. Yeah, we don't want 604 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 3: to put any bad juju. 605 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: Don't put, do not put. Dalvin Leo Fournett can go 606 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: there all he wants for Neett's cooked cook. I don't 607 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: want to see Dalvin. 608 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: Cook go there. Yeah, Miami, you can go to Miami 609 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 3: and go to Miami. Absolutely another muddled muddled that we 610 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 3: didn't discuss. 611 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, sounds good.
