But the Fantasy Fotball 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.840 Training Camp is a huge deal for us. We haven't 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.759 done it since pre pandemic, but before the pandemic we 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.919 were drawing thoy twelve hundred people. It's free. We encourage 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.560 you to come out August twelfth. So that's uh. I 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.560 want to get that little bit of news out there. 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:50.160 And then. 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:56.560 This week's show Brian Lottery ticket running backs. 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:58.080 Yeah, there's a lot. 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:02.200 These are the guys who can and single handedly propel 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.720 your season. Late round draft picks, Guys that in some 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.120 cases aren't even getting drafted, that have the opportunity to 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:14.959 step into a starter's role and go be effective. That man, 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:16.760 that's half the that's half the battle if you can 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.000 go get some running back that's gonna pan out from 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.640 the twelfth round or the fourteenth round or the sixteenth round. 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:22.360 Yeah, no doubt. 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.440 These are all lottery ticket running. 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.200 Backs, and a lot of them even if the starter 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.200 doesn't go down or gets suspended drive his Lambeau one 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:35.240 hundred and even that's a wide receiver conversation running. But 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.480 they still have some value even with I think so 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.760 manse guys do, because really that the bell cow is extinct, 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.440 the bell cow running back. Sadly, I'm not living in 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:48.639 the priest homes or going back further, Emmitt Smith, Barry 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.000 Sanders days, and I just. 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.440 I saw a great stat relative to that in twenty ten, 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:58.480 and for the decade prior to that, they're averaged seven 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.639 backs that would get three hundred carries a year. Now 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.440 there's one and a half per year on average. Now, 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:05.519 is it bel Coow's dead? 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.799 Is there a draft strategy that you think these running 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.320 backs are about to mention would fit. 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.839 Into you call it the opposite around here? 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.080 Definitely not zero running back around these parts. 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.320 Definitely not. Okay, So we're going to give you some 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:24.200 lottery ticket running backs, and the way we've set this 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.040 up because you've got to put some parameters on it. 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.800 They are. These are backs that have a lack of 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.360 competition to at least be like the immediate backup behind 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.240 the starter. None of these guys are starters, But I 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.160 am throwing out deep complicated backfields like the Eagles with 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.400 Rashad Penny and DeAndre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott. 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.440 They're out because that divides the pie up way too much. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.200 I mean, even if Whenshod Penny goes down, this thing's 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.040 still messy, right, So in in in these cases, these 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:58.080 are all guys that are like one step away from 0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:59.320 getting some real playing time. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.800 The Jets is another example. Well, something has already happened 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.400 to Breeze Hall, right even with Breese Hall, who was 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.360 put on the pup list for the preseason, by the way, 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.760 but there's still I isy A, Bonnie Conda, Michael Carr, 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.640 Damn Night. So oh yeah, it's too muddled so that 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:17.880 they're not talking about these guys. 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.360 They're out, And we're also going to give you all 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.320 guys and you alluded to this that for them to 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.039 get time, it's more than just like the starter needs 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.680 a blow out a ACL. So I mean, you know 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.240 these are all guys. You can make a case. I'm 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.320 getting time for different reasons from that. Anyway, you've got 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.760 some NFC lottery ticket runners. I've got AFC all the 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.520 way around. For you have AFC, I have NFC. 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:38.960 Gave me a little bit of a heart attack. 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.720 Yeah, sorry about that. Okay, prep correctly for this. 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:42.039 Good. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.080 I'm gonna let you go first, give me a an 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:45.760 AFC lottery ticket runner. 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.479 Oh, I think this will. I got two you're gonna love, 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.200 but I won't start with your favorite, but probably probably 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.119 your one. B in terms of favorites in the AFC 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:57.080 is Damien Harris. Harris of the Bills right now, yeah, baby, 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.560 going off the board is RB thirty eight, pick one 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.200 seventeen overall. James Cook is going more than twenty picks 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.760 earlier than Harris, so he is the presumed starter by 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.159 the fantasy community. But is he really like especially on 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.360 first and second downs, right, I think it's Harris. I mean, 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.240 even before we don't again, we don't want anything to 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.320 happen to these starting running back but this is just 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.200 in the event of but even without something happening to Cook, 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.440 I think Harris is the guy I would rather have 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.360 between the two, especially with adp baked in. So Harris 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.720 a guy I've been targeting heavily all off season in 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.880 my drafts. And again he's gonna be the guy at 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.640 the goal line. Yeah, not James Cook. It's gonna be 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:42.320 Josh Allen before James Cook. But when Harris has been healthy, 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.279 he and he can catch passes. He has three down 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.560 back potential. And there's Nahem Hines and Latavius Murray and 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.520 Buffalo too, but they're now facts, they're not really factors here. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.760 So Damien Harris my number one lottery ticket running back 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:55.960 to TEA. 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.400 I think that's a great angle. And Damian Harris has 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.240 got ten touchdown upside in him. 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:04.120 Yeaham offense in that offense yet I don't think No, Yeah, 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.479 that offense Harris for sure, massive upside if you stay healthy. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.520 I'm gonna start with a player not many people even 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.479 know the name of, and that's Giants rookie running back 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.760 Eric Gray as my lottery ticket guy, my first of 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:21.920 several in the NFC. Saquon Barkley's threatening hold out, but 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.720 that's not gonna happen. Nobody ever holds out The last 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.960 guy held out was Le'Veon Bell and he has spent 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.440 the last two years at any at anybody will listen. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.680 It's like, oh, biggest mistake in my life. I never 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.680 should have held out. He said that he had a 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.760 He was just on a podcast or tweeted about this 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.799 just a couple of days ago. How he never should 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:38.880 These guys aren't gonna hold out. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.440 He regrets it, he regrets it. 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.320 Let's talk about fifth round rookie Eric Gray. And I'm 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.360 not interested in Matt Brita. I think we've seen everything 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.800 Matt Brita brings to the table and it's just not enough. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.479 So there's an opportunity for Gray here. Uh. What I 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.159 don't like is he's slow, below average speed on power, 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.960 but he is extremely balanced, He's very agile, he's super shit. 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:05.800 He's got darting quickness, steady pass catching skills. He's basically 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:10.080 a poor man's Barkley, which is why the Giants drafted him. Schematically, 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.320 he fits into just what Brian Dable wants to do 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:18.440 with Saquon Barkley. So for when Saquon Barkley's off the 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.480 field or in the event of injury, or if he 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.960 does actually if he's dumped crazy enough to hold out, 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.280 then Eric Gray's the guy want not Matt Brita. 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.440 I agree, And you're doing our listener as a favor 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.040 because right now the narrative is, go get Brita if 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.480 you're worried about Barkley. And no, he's not the guy. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.600 We've seen a lot of Matt Brita. He ain't the guy, 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:39.560 not the gay. We know that, so I think they'll 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.720 they'll give a shot at Eric Gray. All right, who's 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.440 your next AFC at lottery ticket running back? 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.320 Well, this is really your guy, but I like him too. 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.320 I don't adore him as much as you, but he's 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.720 up there. It's Tank Bigsby of yeah, baby, he's running 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:55.800 back forty five right now in terms of ADP won 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.960 forty overall. Travis Etn currently RB fourteen. So we're talking 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:04.720 talking about a thirty running you know, thirty spots running 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.720 back right when it comes between Etn and Bigsby. Recently, 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.840 this is what the Jaguars running back coach had to 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.880 say on Tank and Bigsby. Who remember, Travis Etn was 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:19.440 drafted by the old regime, the Urban Meyer regime. So yeah, 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:25.600 this regime woves the Tank. Running backs coach for the 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.000 Jaguars recently said Tank is the type of back we 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.560 wanted to bring to the table, and he fit everything 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.440 that we were looking for. He popped off the screen 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.720 and again they love him. I wanted to leave some 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:38.480 time for you to gush over Tank maybe a little 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.560 bit more. But he's got three down potential. You know, 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.280 he's a three down back. He can, he can. He 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.040 might just outright take this job from Travis Etn. 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.520 I agree. I think that these too. In fact, my 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.560 probably my boldest take of the entire offseason so far. 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.920 I think Tank Bigsby scores more Fantasy points than Travis 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:01.840 Etn will It's possible. Here's we know. Etn doesn't catch 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.480 as much as we want, as people want, as listeners knows. 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.920 I throw out this stat maybe a month ago. Travis' 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.240 Etn averages two catches for eighteen yards through the air. 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.760 That's it. So he doesn't catch. He's not a goal 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:14.880 line guy. They were forced into trying him at the 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.000 goal line last year. Didn't work. Tank Biggsby's going to 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.120 get the goal line carries. I think you're looking at 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:24.040 a lot of games at Travis Etn of like twelve 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:28.640 carries for forty yards, scoreless, and that's gonna really make 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.040 things tough and Bigsby's gonna I think Biggsby's going to 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.520 do more with his opportunities, so it might be a 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.880 better pass catcher, totally important. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.240 One forty overall, again, I think we see that ADP 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.280 creep up closer to the top one hundred towards the 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:42.560 end of the summer for Bigsby. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.359 My next guy, my next lottery ticket from the NFC 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:53.400 Minnesota Viking running back ty Chandler, Alexander Madison is just 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.800 a guy. He's a jag, as they say in the business. 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.400 I call him Alexander me then. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.880 Yeah, there's something to that. We've seen a lot of him, 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.520 you know here in Minnesota. I've seen every one of 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.959 his carries. He's not a bad running back. It's also 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.000 not a great running back. He also has limited pass 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:14.640 catching skills. Ty Chandler brings to the table explosive upside. 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.080 We saw it in college, we saw it last year 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.880 in the preseason, and he's a better receiver. I think 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:25.080 this preseason is still way more of an open battle 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:29.400 for playing time and even the starter's role than people realize. Furthermore, 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.959 I don't think Alexander Madison's gonna hold the number one 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.480 spot all season long. I think sooner or later, just 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:40.000 his his his lack of explosiveness and upside is gonna 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.320 cost him a starting job for some period of time. 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.520 Ty Chandler's gonna have an opportunity to step in and 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:49.400 take those take those spots. So ty Chandler, and by 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.000 the way, I think he's the guy you want, not 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.079 Dwayne McBride, the seventh round pick. You want ty Chandler 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:58.199 from last year, because really did pop in the offseason. 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.800 Actually had a chance to ask Kevin o'can about ty 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:06.400 Chandler in on roughly April loves him, loves him now 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.040 that coaches always say they love their guys, but you know, 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.560 you can kind of tell when they're really going to 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:12.120 bat for a guy. 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.200 In his eye no one could see except you except me. 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.160 That's right, that's how we're on the I was looking 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:19.959 deeply into Kevin O'Connell's eyes. 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:21.280 Oh, he's got dreamy eyes. 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:23.959 Very much so well, we've all seen it on Netflix. 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.760 Quarterback. That's right, it's not a but in person, I'm 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:27.720 sure it's a whole nother story. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.319 Yeah, well very Yeah, it's Oh, it's even better in person. 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.760 Quarterback real quick? What'd you think? 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:35.600 Well, I think it's pretty good, but I you know, 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:37.600 but I'm a Kirk Cousins apologist, and I think it's 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:41.240 so healthy for Viking fans to see the pounding he 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:46.960 took last year. He no appreciation for that guy dragging 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.840 himself off of the field after these monster hits and 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.760 doing everything he has to do to get right for 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.520 the next Sunday. They just take for granted, Viking fans 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.720 to take for granted that Kirk Cousin's going to be there. 0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.600 They don't know what he was going through to get 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.440 right after being the most hit quarterback last year, the 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.760 third most hit quarterback the year before that, and the 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:07.440 most hit quarterback the year before that. 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.880 Yeah, he's going to be sore in his forties and 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.079 the rest of his life. It could be. He's a 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.160 good singer, though I didn't realize what a good singer 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:15.800 Kirk was. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:20.760 Nobody knew a lot of gospel hymns, right, things like that, Okay, 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.920 let's go to one more lottery ticket running back and 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.240 then we'll sneak in a quickly. 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.960 All right, It sounds good. Well, I'll make this one quick. 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.480 Jalen Warren of the Steelers, who I like a lot 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.839 as a lotto ticket back out of the AFC, running 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.760 back forty four right now off the board in most drafts. 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:40.160 Najee Harris currently RB thirteen the presumed starter. He will start. 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.160 But if something were to happen to Harris, and something 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.760 sort of did happen to Harris last year had the 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.560 Liz Frank injury, Warren came in, wasn't starting, but he 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.200 was essentially splitting time with Harris. But then Warren hurt 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.040 his foot too, so they were both dinged up behind 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.640 a really bad offensive line. But the Steelers were top 0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.960 twelve and rushing play percentage last year. They revamped that 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:05.120 O line this offseason. So Jalen Warren, I mean, I'm 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.719 bullish on this Steelers offense just at cost. I'm not 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.080 saying it's gonna be the most explosive offense in the NFL, 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.720 but they've brought I think Kenny Pickett takes a step 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.800 forward in year two, and if something were to happen 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.120 to Harris, I think Warren could step in and essentially 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:21.960 fill his shoes. And you're getting them at a much 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:25.360 cheaper price than you are for Najie Harris Warren another 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.760 guy that I've been actively targeting and might do the 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.080 opposite drafts when. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.679 We come back.

Go go for that. 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:04.640 AFC is loaded with lotto running backs. My next guy 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:09.800 up is someone I've been kind of preaching or tweeting 0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:13.720 about praising since once the draft ended. Because the Cleveland 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.880 Browns did not add any running backs in the draft. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.960 They let Kareem Hunt walk. So I've been loving Jerome Ford. 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.600 I've watched his ADP go from free to now it's 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.520 one sixty five where he's RB fifty. 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.920 People are starting to warm up to jar Ford. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.920 Because he's basically the only guy behind Nick Chubb. We're 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:33.840 not worried about Demitric Felton Junior or John Kelly Junior 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.280 and Nick Chubb now with Saquon Barkley kind of you know, 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.920 worried about him. He's moved into up to RB four. 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:45.040 He's pushing late first round, you know, draft capital status, 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.920 so something would happen to him. Jerome Ford is not 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.160 Nick Chubb, but he really pow has not at Cincinnati. 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.640 He was a rookie last year was an awful landing 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.520 spot for him. Last year with the. 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.000 Brown no playing time and maybe not even any carries 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.400 because he was for you he had. 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.840 Like very minimum. Yeah, he was behind Chubb. Of course 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:08.480 Hunt and Caris Johnson who's in Jacksonville. But we're not 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.560 worried about him, and we're going back to Tank Bigsby talk. 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:14.640 But Jerome Ford, he will see the field too. Even 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.320 with Nick Chubb healthy, Nick Chub's not gonna get a 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.600 hundred percent of the carries. I think Ford will still 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:23.000 see eight carries per game, twelve ish touches he can 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.960 catch too. Brown's top eight and rushing play percentage last year. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.120 They love to run the ball, usually have a great 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.880 old line. So Jerome Ford, even even though I was 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.400 getting him for free a few months ago, I'm still 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:39.080 paying the forty rounds that he's gone up or for 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.000 I'm sorry, forty picks that he's improved upon. I still 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.960 think he's worth taking a shot on there for if 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.280 something were unfortunately to happen to Nick Chubb. 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.840 Here's a player who's ADP is often so low it's 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:55.920 not even listed on ADP reports, Yet he is sitting 0:16:56.000 --> 0:17:00.400 in a primo spot to get playing time. I'm talking 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:06.120 about Buccaneers rookie running back Sean Tucker now is going 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.399 into the draft. He was widely graded as roughly a 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:14.080 round five kind of guy, which is fine. He went undrafted, 0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.080 and had he played in the SEC or the big 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.480 Tennis out of the ACC, I'm guessing that he probably 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.640 would have been like a round three or four projection. 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.040 And he went undrafted because he didn't test at the 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.159 combine or have a pro day. He had some he 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:26.119 had injury. 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:27.320 He had, he had an injury. 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.199 He should be good to go. And he was the 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.520 first undrafted free agent running back signed. Like it was 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:35.320 right off the like that. Yeah, yep, Now he has got. 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.200 You're not watching a lot of breaking down a lot 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.040 of Syracuse tape, I know, but dang does he pop 0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:44.560 off the tape. Wow, he's got remarkable vision burst, He's 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:49.000 got explosiveness, one cut runner, he's really shifty, he can 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:53.239 move laterally. And Sean Tucker is a good receiver. At 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:57.600 thirty six catches last year, there's a real opportunity for 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:00.119 Sean Tucker with the Buccaneers. He's just he's got a 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.679 handful of special traits that you're looking for that goes okay. 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:06.359 Maybe he's you know, Shawn Tucker's not like you know, 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.560 he's not the second coming of Adrian Peterson. He's got 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:10.240 a couple of things that he does really well that 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:14.000 should work at the NFL level. Chase Edmonds is in 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:15.560 that backfield. He's not a factor. 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:16.880 I hate Chase Edmonds. 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:21.400 Rashad White is the starter. He topped out as he's 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.520 top the most carries he's ever had in a season, 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.119 including college at Arizona State, one hundred and forty eight carries. 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:26.600 That's it. 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:29.040 Yeah, he's not the guy people are presuming he's just 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.399 gonna be a bell cow because he's the only one 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:33.520 anyone's ever really heard of in the Bucks back. 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:35.439 I think White's going to be in a rotation. I do, 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.800 and I think Sean Tucker is the best candidate to 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.719 be the other part of that rotation, Sean Tucker effectively 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.359 free ADP. So low, it's off the it's at the 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.200 you know, it's off the it's off the list. So yeah, 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:49.400 let's go try a little Sean Tucker. 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.919 Buccaneers right and took him in either the twenty first 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.119 or twenty second round of the scott Fish Bowl and 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.720 most drafts don't go twenty one to twenty two rounds. Right, 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:58.879 he was still there, Yes, in a point per carry 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.439 league too, So yeah, he's free, but he shouldn't be. 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:03.280 So if you don't know Sean Tucker, you do. 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.680 Now let's go to the next AFC lottery ticket running back. 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:11.040 Well, this is we'll still call him a lottery ticket. 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:15.720 It's Samir White of the Raiders. Now, Josh Jacobs could 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:19.760 he could seriously hold out? We said Barkley probably won't. 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:21.800 But then the Giants, anybody's gonna hold up. 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:26.960 The Giants actually offered Barkley a contract extension. Supposedly the 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:31.240 Raiders didn't even we're the Raiders, like, you don't want 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:34.560 to lose with us, will lose a value. We're in 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.440 the AFC West, we're in the if we're not going 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.200 on the playoffs, or not winning the Super Bowl. 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:39.879 We can lose with or without you. 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:43.280 And we got Samir White, who everyone if if you recall, 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.640
