1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, what is up? Welcome to another edition of

2
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. It's Being Your Man, NAMG.

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: Marcus Grants socially distancing alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer

4
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano and I think we're coming up on like

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: ten weeks uh in quarantine. How are we feeling after

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: ten weeks? I can't say it down the airs, I

7
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: get in trouble. That sucks, man, Like I mean, I mean,

8
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: at least at least we're seeing a little bit of

9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: a light at the end of the tunnel, Like you know,

10
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: with LA's governor saying that there's gonna be you know,

11
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: live sports with no fans in June. You're seeing other

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: states across the country that they're slowly opening up, although

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: like my home state of Connecticut, I think is like

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: the only one that hasn't, but that there's there's a

15
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: little bit of hope. There's a little bit of hope.

16
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: So let's ride that wave. Hopefully sooner rather than later,

17
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: we will see sports starting. At least for me, the

18
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: biggest one would be the baseball season. Uh and the

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: Yanks any I mean, if it's if it's you know,

20
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: okay at that point to get together and watch sports.

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm there, You and I are gonna go out and

22
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: maybe have have a drink and watch the Bombers or

23
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: she'll always invited. Although I know you're you're you know,

24
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: a Dodgers guys, I mean, depending on who, depending on

25
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: who they're playing, I might you know, I won't ever

26
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: cheer for them, but I won't necessarily actively root against them.

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Worst case scenario we'll see in the World series. Speaking

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: of which, you heard the voice of Senior Edward led

29
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: Murphy esquire, have you guys, you guys both saw the

30
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: pictures of C. C. Sabathew right, Like, holy cop, I

31
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: mean he's he is He and I are from the

32
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: same hometown. Like so it was like it took it

33
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: just caught us all by surprise. Like for those of us,

34
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, obviously every seen CC throughout his careers, certainly

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: those of us from from from Valleo are used to

36
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: him being a heftier gentleman. He's ripped that, Like why

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: didn't this happen during his playing career? Why do he

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: wait till after he was done? Remember that there was

39
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: a time where he did lose some weight during his

40
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: time as an active player, and he pitched as well,

41
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, you're right. Uh. In fact, was it

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: was it in Milwaukee maybe or he was in Milwaukee

43
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: for a little bit of Eddie him he lost a

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: little bit what it was, he cut out a handful

45
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: of things like it was like like cereal maybe like

46
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: showed to something like that, like some kind of juice whatever,

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: and within a few months, like he jopped to unchowaite.

48
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: So right now in quarantine, CC is doing the opposite

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: of what I'm doing. So that's good at least that

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: he is doing that. I've actually lost weight, which is

51
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: which is weird. I don't know if it's just stress

52
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, but I've actually lost weight. And

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: maybe it's because I'm not eating as much like out

54
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: because that food it's like you know, typically like full

55
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: of salt whatever. Else when you're at home and you're

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: just eating stuff at home, then it's and and you know,

57
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: my girlfriend and I are also taking walks, like you know,

58
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: four or five mile walks to the beach and back too,

59
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: so that always helps. That definitely helps. Yeah, no doubt.

60
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: I think I've kind of stayed about the same because

61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm walking, but I'm also like baking bread. So sort

62
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: of as an Italian, that's the worst. Well, hikes are

63
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: each beach exercise, and hikes are now opening where we live,

64
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: so I mean, you know, we can get back into

65
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: the outdoor exercise at least. But yeah, I mean, I

66
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: mean pull my bike out of out of the closet

67
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: or whatever and get it going again. So today we're

68
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: talking running backs. On Tuesday Show, we talked quarterbacks kind

69
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: of dove into the position a little bit. We will

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: do the same for the running backs next week. We'll

71
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: get into wide receivers and tight ends as we continue

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: our positional preview. But first, I as one of the

73
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: big stories this week, Matt Nagy, I literally almost said

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Charles Naggy, I flashed back to like nineteen nineties like

75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland Indians base. Well, Matt nag he says, Nick Foles

76
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: relearning his playbook will be quote like riding a bike.

77
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: So like this, this basically just means that that he's

78
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: the starter, right like the Trubisky experiments over in Chicago,

79
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: It's it's Nick Foles's team now right, Well, he's the favorite.

80
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: You know, he's got to avoid injuries, which I mean

81
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: outside of Philadelphia, like honestly think about it, like Nick

82
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: Folean really done much, you know, like they were excited

83
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: about him in Jacksonville, he got hurt and then you

84
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: served by Gardner Minshew. He's been with other franchises and

85
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: haven't really done much. So I think he's the favorite

86
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: to open the season as the starter. But I'd be

87
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: surprised if Mitchell Trubisky doesn't make you know, a handful

88
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: of starts at minimum in twenty twenty. So either way, though,

89
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: how excited can you be as a Bears fan if

90
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: you're looking at Trubisky or a guy who's done nothing

91
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: outside of Philadelphia and has basically been a journeyman. So

92
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: no one, no one can wait for the retirement of

93
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Patch Mahomes and Deshaun Watson more than Bears fans. And

94
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: they're playing each other. Like I believe there's a game

95
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: in Houston against Kansas City. Yeah, like the Gates. Every

96
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: Bears fan will not watch. I think it's the kickoff game,

97
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. I think it is. It is

98
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: the season opening game if I'm not if because yeah,

99
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: because I think it's the rematch of the playoff game

100
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: last year where the Texans jumped out to a big

101
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: lead and then ended up getting boat raced. Remember that

102
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: seven six or seven straight touchdowns? Yeah. So so let's

103
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: get into these running backs here a little bit, sort

104
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: of like we talked about with the quarterbacks. The top

105
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: five running backs PPR wise last season Christian McCaffrey, Aaron Jones,

106
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, Austin Eckler, Derrick Henry. So I'll ask you

107
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: the same thing that I asked you on Tuesday, Which

108
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: one of these guys is most likely to fall out

109
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: of the top five and who would be the person

110
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: or persons to replace him? You know, you know, Aaron

111
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: Jones is a lock, Like he's no chance. Are you

112
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: saying nineteen touchdown is not gonna happening? So Aaron Jones

113
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: is an easy candidate. I love Austin Eckler, He's a friend.

114
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: I think he's awesome. I don't know if he's going

115
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: to be a top five running back. I could see

116
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: Derek Henry falling out of the top five too, and

117
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: not because he's not tremendous, but I just feel like

118
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is gonna is gonna get bumped up. And

119
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: if you look at you know, the points per game average.

120
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: Last year it was McCaffrey, then it was Dalvin Cook.

121
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: The difference was crazy. It was like almost nine points

122
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: more like from from Dalvin. So like Zeke's gonna end

123
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: up back there, Saque is going to end up back

124
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: up in the top five. I mean I could see

125
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: Kamara ending up back in the top five as well.

126
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: So right now my top five backs are CMC, Barkley,

127
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: Zeke Cook, and Kamara, and then I've got Henry Eckler,

128
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: Mix and Sanders and Jones. I could see Miles Sanders

129
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: being in the top five running back if things go

130
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: right for him, super super talented. In the games where

131
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard was out last year, he averaged over twenty

132
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: one touches per game, averaged over twenty Fantasy points per game,

133
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: so he could be a feature back at the next level.

134
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: He's shown that. So even though it's a small sample size,

135
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: there are there are three guys and maybe four if

136
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: Cook can avoid injuries that are locked and loaded as

137
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: top five guys. Although wouldn't it be crazy if McCaffrey

138
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: fell out of the top five and succumb to that

139
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: curse of three seventy at the running back position. That

140
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: would that would blow a big haul into this position

141
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: at the top. Yeah, no, that would be that would

142
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: be wild. You know, it's funny too because I know

143
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: people are I've heard some people say or see some

144
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: people you ask whether or not they should take McCaffrey

145
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: at number one, you know, can he repeat? And my

146
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: response to that is take him at number one, because

147
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: even if he doesn't finish as the number one running back,

148
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: it seems pretty likely that he will still finish within

149
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: the top five. Like I feel like, just because you

150
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: draft a guy at number one doesn't mean you need

151
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: him to finish at number one. You just want him

152
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: to be in that range of you know, position one,

153
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: QB one, RB one, whatever it is. You just want

154
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: him to finish in that range. So if I take

155
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: if I cmc at one overall and he finishes as

156
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: the RB three or whatever, I'm fine, Like everything's gonna

157
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: be okay. You went to guys sliding in, Alvin Kamara

158
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: was sort of the guy that I had peg to

159
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: kind of come back in there because I know last

160
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: year the other thing that's frustrated was frustrated with him

161
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: was that he just didn't score touchdowns. He went to

162
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: the Yeah, the end of the season, like he scored

163
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: a few touchdowns, but before that he just really didn't.

164
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: But everything else was kind of on par with his

165
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: first couple of years. The number of touches was about

166
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: the same. The yards maybe a little bit less, but

167
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: not dramatically less than what we had seen the first

168
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: couple of years. It's just that the first two years

169
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: he scored a combined thirty one touchdowns. Last year he

170
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: scored six. I think that number comes up again, so

171
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: I could very much see him sliding back into the

172
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: top five. I do agree. I think Austin Eckler, he

173
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: was incredibly efficient, especially catching the football. I don't know

174
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: that that's going to be the case necessarily again this year.

175
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: Maybe he makes up for in volume, but I just

176
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: think his efficiency comes down until that hurts me, Aaron,

177
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: Top ten, but not top five. Yeah, top five I

178
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: think is going to be hard. Aaron Jones, You're right.

179
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: The nineteen touchdowns, I think everybody is basically saying, yes,

180
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: that's just not going to happen again. I still think

181
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: he could score like eight to ten, which is a

182
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: really great season. Great, it'd be great, but I take

183
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: it all there. You're still talking about if he scores, say,

184
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: if he scores nine touchdowns this year, that's still sixty

185
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: points fewer. If everything else is the same, that's still

186
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: sixty fewer points to both love from Aaron Jones. That's

187
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: a lot. That is absolutely a lot for him. There

188
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: are plenty of running backs, and I know we've kicked

189
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: around plenty. Are there guys right now that aren't getting

190
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: enough run, that aren't getting enough attention that maybe we

191
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: should be talking about a little bit more. I mean,

192
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: that's hard for us to say because we talk about

193
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: about all of them. I know so much, so I

194
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: guess if I could throw a few names out there,

195
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: We're still talking about Kenyan Drake. But Kenyan Drake could

196
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: legitimately end up being a top ten running back next season,

197
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: easily easily if you look at the numbers he put

198
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: up during this time in Arizona. I know that there

199
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: has been more than one occasion where we've been all

200
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: in on Drake and he is not performed. But this

201
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: situation seems to be different in Arizona. Really good fit

202
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: for the offense. No real competition for backfield touches there

203
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: with David Johnson now gone, so Kenny and Drake. I

204
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: feel like he's getting respect, maybe not enough respect at

205
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: the position. I also feel like David Montgomery is not

206
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: getting talked about enough. I feel like he could end

207
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: up being a decent draft bargain because people remember what

208
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: he did or didn't do last season. But I feel

209
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: like the Bears need to run the football effectively to

210
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: have any chance, especially with that quarterback position being what

211
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: it is, and Montgomery, I think baked into his value

212
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: right now is the fact that he didn't produce like

213
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: we thought he would as a rookie, and Naggie likes

214
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: to use a pass catching running back in Tarik Cohen.

215
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: If you can get Montgomery as you're running back three

216
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: and he produces running back two numbers, then you know

217
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: that's a bit of a win. Maraheem Mostered is another

218
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: player from your beloved forty nine ers. Tevin Coleman's there,

219
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: Jerck McKinnon. I don't know what's going on with him,

220
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: but now for Reedy got traded to Miami. Like Raheem

221
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: Mostered in the second half of last season, was was

222
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: like the ready guy. Yeah it was man, he was

223
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: really really good. So I feel like most is someone

224
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: too that like if you're one of the types of

225
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: people who likes to wait on running backs, which I

226
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: don't think is a good idea, But he could end

227
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: up being like that. You know that that zero RB target,

228
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, the same to go with with David Montgomery

229
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: at that position. Yeah, Montgomery's the guy you mentioned. If

230
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: you can get him as an RB three and he

231
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: comes back with RB two value, I think I can too. Yeah,

232
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: I think you'd be great with that. I was a

233
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: guy who was big on him last year, and I

234
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: sort of held onto that maybe a little bit, maybe

235
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks too long, kind of held onto

236
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: that belief with him. My fear with him is that

237
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: he is a lot closer to his ceiling than I

238
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: think we originally anticipated, and I think I think he's

239
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: got a little bit more to grow than what we

240
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: saw last year, but maybe not much more so. I

241
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: do think RB two value is probably maybe the tops

242
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: with him, but I can see him get there, and

243
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: if I can get him as a third running back

244
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: and night maybe flex him occasionally, I feel okay with that.

245
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: I do think a guy that maybe we're not talking

246
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: about quite but I feel like Chris Carson's another one

247
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: of those names. It just sort of hangs around, and

248
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: we always try to find reasons to fade Chris Carson,

249
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: and he just keeps coming through all the time. I mean,

250
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: it's all about that hip. If he's good, Yes, that

251
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: ADP will rise. Yes. I mean remember last year, it

252
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: feels like week three or four he had fumbled a

253
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: few times and all we're all afraid that Rashon Penny

254
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: was going to come take over that job, and that

255
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: never really happened. It just never really did. Carson held

256
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: onto It was solid all year long. And again, I

257
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: think he's one of those guys that people will look at.

258
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: I said, Chris Carson this year is sort of what

259
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: I felt about Leonard Fournette last year. That You'll be

260
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: sitting there probably in round three or so, and Carson

261
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: will be just just kind of fall into your lap

262
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: and you may reluctantly take him, and then he'll end

263
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: u putting up good numbers for you. And I think

264
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: I think, you know, again, he's not He's not a

265
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: guy that you think of the pass catcher, but he

266
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: does so many other things well, and I think he

267
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: probably deserves a little bit more attention that he's getting. Yeah,

268
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 1: I feel like, but I feel like the rest of

269
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: these guys we've sort of kind of covered in a

270
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: in some form or fashion. Maybe Josh Jacobs, I don't know,

271
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: we can talk about more. But I just want the

272
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: Raiders to throw him the ball more. And I don't

273
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: know why they don't, right, But look at what they've

274
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 1: done though in the offseason, right, you add Lynn Bowden,

275
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: you add DeVante Booker. Jalen Richard is still on the roster.

276
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: So there was reports that they were, like, you know,

277
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: kicking the tires on McCoy and Frank or so, like,

278
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: you know, you might be hearing them say we want

279
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: to get Josh Jacobs more involved in the passing game,

280
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: but like the moves that they've made might signal otherwise, right,

281
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: And I just I don't get it, because I think

282
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: it's a skill that he has, and I you know,

283
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: I just I would like them to utilize that more

284
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: because that that makes his value even greater. I mean,

285
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy who's going to be outstanding

286
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: this year anyway, but man, if they start throwing him

287
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: the football, and Gruden has has liked to use that

288
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: sort of back in the past. I mean, remember Charlie Garner. Yeah,

289
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: absolutely so, I mean why they don't do it now?

290
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't, I don't understand. Hopefully that is

291
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: the case and that they do give him the football

292
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: and some of these moves that they've made are not

293
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: sort of uh, you know, confusing us to the role

294
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: that Jacobs could play as a pass catcher. Yeah, who knows.

295
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: I feel like this is going to be an easier

296
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: one though. Which guys are we over hyping? I know

297
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit on Tuesday about Jonathan Taylor

298
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: and where he still one man. I mean there have

299
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: got to be some guys out there that we are

300
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: just way too high on, right, So like you could

301
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: are and a lot of it's the rookies too, right,

302
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: So like for me, like, are we over hyping cam

303
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: Akers because there's two other backs that he's going to

304
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: have to compete with? Are we are we over hyping

305
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: Keishawn Vaughn rights as? And I think he's the best

306
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: running back sleeper in that because of where he ended up,

307
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: But are we overvaluing him? You know, if you look

308
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: at some of the like earlier on where we over

309
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: hyping Clyde Edwards Hilaire and now it's sort of like

310
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: a little bit backed off where we over hyping Devin

311
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: Singletary and then they brought in Zach Moss and you know,

312
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: maybe that sort of put a you know, put a

313
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: bit of a ceiling on where he'll be drafted based on, uh,

314
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: based on what his real value is. Yeah, I mean

315
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: definitely the rookies I think are are very high on

316
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: that list. That's always happened to maybe too much, right,

317
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: it does, It always happens. I think at some point

318
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: it will kind of level out a little bit. I think,

319
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: especially you know, if we get some form of training

320
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: camp and we see how some of these back because

321
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: like a lot of these rookie backs are in ostensibly

322
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: committee situations, right, I mean, Jonathan Taylor has Marlon Mack

323
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: to deal with and possibly Nahim Hines Edwards. Hilaire still

324
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: has Damian Williams to deal with. DeAndre Swift has carry

325
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: On Johnson to deal with. So I think as we

326
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: see some of these teams sort of working together, we

327
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: may have a better idea of how that works. Are

328
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: we And it's not like over hyping, but I mean

329
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: he's ranked in the top ten a lot Nick Chubb.

330
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: I was just about to mention if I was just

331
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: so Chubb first eight games last year, great, awesome, six touchdowns,

332
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, well over one hundred yards per game on

333
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: the ground, getting involved in the passing game. Last six

334
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: last eight games, two touchdowns, Fewer rushing yards per game,

335
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: way fewer fantasy points per game. In fact, if you

336
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: project his numbers over eight games with Kareem Hunt into

337
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: a sixteen game slate, He's not a top ten running back.

338
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: He's not a top fifteen running back, right So, and

339
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, people, Kareem Hunt is a knucklehead off the field.

340
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: At least he had, you know that incident. He's a

341
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: freaking good running back, really good football player. He's a

342
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: really good I mean, he was an elite fantasy running

343
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: back in Kansas City. And so when I said Nick

344
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: Chub get drafted in the first round, I'm like, I

345
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: don't want that. I'm not going there. Yeah, I was

346
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: looking at that. I was literally those were literally going

347
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: to be the next words out of my mouth where

348
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: you asked it, because I do feel like, you know,

349
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: we are looking at Nick Chubb from the first half

350
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: of the season and sort of ignoring what happened in

351
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: the back half and just kind of look, they're going

352
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: to get a full year out of Kareem Hunt. And

353
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: I still believe they want to build this team around

354
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. I still truly believe that they want to

355
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: put the ball in his hands and let him be successful.

356
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: And I think part of the reason we saw Chubb

357
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: get so much work early is because Mayfield was struggling

358
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: so much early in the season that at some point

359
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: they couldn't just keep letting him throw the football because

360
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: it was destroying the offense there. So I think if

361
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: all these other factors come into play this year, Nick

362
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: Chubb maybe won't get the same level of work that

363
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: we saw earlier this season last year. So yeah, I'm

364
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: sort of with you. I know he's he's had that

365
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: late kind of first round, early second round ADP right now,

366
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: and I just don't know. I just don't don't know

367
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: which guys are do you think the hardest to project

368
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: this year? My I mean, my immediate thought is we

369
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: talk about the rookies and how they're getting over hyped.

370
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: I feel like that makes it hard to sort of

371
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: project the guys that they're paired with the carry ons

372
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: the the Damian Williams is you know, all all going

373
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: down to Marlon Max. I feel like it makes them

374
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: harder to sort of project, just because we're still trying

375
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: to wade through the hype fog that has come with

376
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: some of these rookies right now. Weird, what about mark

377
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: Ingram Dude Mark one? Yeah, JK. Dobbins Man like I

378
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: dig him in Dynasty. I'm a big fan of his

379
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: long term but yeah, I mean, like even to a point,

380
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, Devin Singletary, who I mentioned earlier, like how

381
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: much is Zach moskinning eat into his uh, you know

382
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: gold one opportunities early down work that that's that's a

383
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: bit of an issue. And any team that has a

384
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: as the look of a committee scenario. So like even

385
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: the Rams, like as much as we like Cam Akers,

386
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: there's no guarantee that he's going to see the majority

387
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: of the backfield touch because Malcolm Brown and Darryl Henderson

388
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: are still in there. I mean you even mentioned, you know,

389
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: with the Colts like Frank Reich is talking up name Mines,

390
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: you know, like he's gonna come out and catch sixty

391
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: balls on backfield, right and we know Jonathan Taylor is

392
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: not a guy who's gonna catch a ton of passes

393
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: and how much does that take him off the field?

394
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: And Marlon Mack is still there, so like that's that's

395
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: another situation where as much as we love Jonathan Taylor,

396
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: he is not guaranteed a feature role. In fact, it

397
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: looks like he's not going to have a featured role.

398
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: He'll he'll end up being the top guy in a

399
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: backfield committee. Melvin Gordon's another one, right, I say that

400
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: was the name. That was the name I was looking at.

401
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: It was Melvin Gordon. Yeah, Melvin Melvin Gordon is a

402
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: really good player. He's been a tremendous fantasy running back

403
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: for most of his career, outside of his rookie campaign

404
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: where he didn't score a touchdown, which is still crazy

405
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: to think about it. Right, Philip Lindsay is still there,

406
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman is still there, and we all think, you

407
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: know that Gordon's and RB two and you know he'll

408
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: he'll get enough opportunities to to sort of of, you know,

409
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: make good on that on that on that level. But

410
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean, how many times is Philip Lindsay gonna gonna

411
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: be put in a game and get the hot hand

412
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: and Gordon stays on the bench. Like, I mean, it's

413
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: it's possible that that's the scenario. That's that's that's certainly possible.

414
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: So the the talent that's come through in the draft,

415
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: plus some of the moves that got made during the

416
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: offseason at the running back position has made some of

417
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: these teams backfields really tough to project. Yeah, no doubt.

418
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 1: Like I said, the Melvin Gordon, I also throw you know,

419
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: for vote for multiple reasons. Leveon Bell sort of into that.

420
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: I know that. You know, I think a lot of

421
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: people are just sort of just kind of off that

422
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: I think it is. I mean because I look at

423
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: it as he's he's still is a talented player. He's

424
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: just in an offense that is stuck in mud. And

425
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: you know when a head coach that doesn't seem to

426
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: really want him around and now they've got Frank Gore there,

427
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: Like it's just you know, sometimes bad things happen to

428
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: good players, and I feel like this this is one

429
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: of those things. They bad things has happened to a

430
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: good player. We just don't know what to do about it. Yeah,

431
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: if there's one running back you could target and maybe

432
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: maybe outside, let's say outside, like the top three, right,

433
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: so like, no, you know, McAffrey, no Barkley, no Zeke whatever,

434
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: even throw Derrick Henry in there, right, And outside of

435
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: those top four guys, is there one guy, one running

436
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: back you feel like you would love to target at

437
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: all costs this year. I want Miles Sanders. I just

438
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: feel like he's going to be the guy. And I

439
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: like what I saw from him last season. We all

440
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: know that he didn't get the hype out of Penn

441
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 1: State because he was playing behind Saquon and then that

442
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: final season with the Nidney Allons, he showed that he

443
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: could be a featured back. He showed that he could

444
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: be a top back at the next level last year

445
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: in the five games without Jordan Howard averaging over twenty

446
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Fantasy points per game, there's you know, there's really Boston

447
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: Scott and Corey Clement right now in Philadelphia. So as

448
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: long as that sort of remain status quo and the

449
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: Eagles don't go out there and sign a big name

450
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: running back and and sort of ruined my projections for

451
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, I would really like to be able to

452
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: grab this kid. And the bad news is that if

453
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: you're in leagues like we are, where everyone's a shark

454
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: and knows what they're doing. He's getting hard man like,

455
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: he says. He's getting picked like in the top twelve

456
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: and fifteen at this point. So depending on where you

457
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: are in your draft, you may not have an opportunity

458
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: to get him. But I really do like what he

459
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: brings to the table. Versatile guy who can do it

460
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: in all three aspects. You know, I will say that

461
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: if I decide to start drafts, you know, running back,

462
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: running back, which is probably likely, even if I decide

463
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: to go three running backs in a row, if I

464
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: could make that third running back David Johnson, I think

465
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: I'd be really excited. You know, I've kind of gotten

466
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: back on that bandwagon, just because in Houston, the opportunity

467
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: is going to be there. He's going to be, you know,

468
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: the lead back there. You know, I like Duke Johnson,

469
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: but they've shown that they're not willing to miss it

470
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 1: necessarily make Duke Johnson a featured player in that offense.

471
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: There's not going to throw the ball a lot because

472
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: they've got Deshaun Watson at quarterback, but I think Johnson

473
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: can DJ can get his he can get his pass

474
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: his targets there and get his touches as a running back.

475
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: And I think this is kind of a bounce back.

476
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: As long as he's healthy, as long as the back

477
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: is okay, he's had time to rest it, I think

478
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have kind of a nice bounce

479
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: back season. I could see him getting over you know,

480
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: a thousand rushing yards, maybe getting you know twelve thirteen

481
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: hundred total yards and you know eight six, six to

482
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns. I think, as you know, as a second

483
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: or third running back, I think that's a pretty good thing.

484
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: And I would I definitely be on board with that. Yep,

485
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: me too. You got any running back hot takes for

486
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, let's see. I will say JK. Dobbins will

487
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: have more fantasy points than mark Ingram. I think Keyshaan

488
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: Vaughn could end up being the top fifteen fantasy running back.

489
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: So I gave you too. Yeah, And I do believe

490
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: in Clyde Edwards Hilaire, even though Damian Williams is in

491
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: the mix. Let's not forget Damian Williams scored twenty one

492
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: percent of his fantasy points on two plays last season,

493
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs did not draft glide to end up

494
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: being in a committee that that shows him as the

495
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: second option. Actually, eventually the talent will rise, the cream

496
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: will rise to the top, and Clyde Edwards Hilaire will

497
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: be a very reliable fantasy running back weekend and week out.

498
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: So my hot take is by the end of the year,

499
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: Darrnton Evans in Tennessee will be on a lot of

500
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: fantasy roster. Oh that's bad news if you've got Derrick Henry,

501
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: because I think I think it'll happen mostly as a

502
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: pass catcher, that they will use him to catch the

503
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: football out of the backfield, because for all the things

504
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: Derek Henry does well, catching the football isn't necessarily one

505
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: of them. And I think I think I think Darrnton

506
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: Evans is going to get on the field. I think

507
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: he's going to get some work, and I think he's

508
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: the guy that I've been targeting in a couple of

509
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: dynasty spots. Just because loof Derrick Henry's on the franchise

510
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: tag this year, I can't imagine the Titans are going

511
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: to want to double down on that next year. And

512
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: we know that the current NFL climate does not allow

513
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: for paying running backs big money. So I could see

514
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: Evans kind of working into a kind of a smaller

515
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: role this year, having that expand, and maybe next year

516
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: the Titans looking around and saying, hey, look, we're gonna

517
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: give you a bigger opportunity, kid. So that's that's my

518
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: hot take, is that by the end of the year,

519
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: people are going to be clamoring for him, and they're

520
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, fights on the waiver wire

521
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: to try to get Darrenson Evans at some point during

522
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: the season to help my fantasy roster. Take hot take.

523
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: There it is again. If these if these hot takes

524
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: come through, then we're gonna remember them, and we're gonna

525
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: let you know if they don't. If they don't, then

526
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: they just never really happen. Yeah, exactly, that's how that works.

527
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: So all right, that is it. We are done. We

528
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: appreciate you downloading and listening as always and watching you know,
