So,
for those of you watching at home, we've got this Kino
board.
Have you ever played Keno? Well, no, I found out what k.
No was about full 10 minutes ago right now. Yeah,
I've never played key know either,
but from what I understand,
it's huge would like adults over 65 years old. So
the producers once again, just nailing our Target demo.
I think it's like women over 65 play keno.
And so here, you know, is we're trying to, you know, Appeal to
a younger crowd, you know, people think there was like,
you know,
episode in a better call Soul kind of episode, but it was in
a retirement home, that makes sense. I'm not see, I've seen
better. I've seen breaking bad. I have not yet. Got to
Better Call Saul. I hear it's terrific.
All right, and we saw her anyway. The idea here with
running back key know, is that we're just sort of, in Kyoto,
you had to choose your numbers. Yeah, I guess. So. I'm going to
choose my running backs. This is,
It's the running back Dead Zone. It's all these guys, that
are going in, sort of a
You know, sort of mid to late round, running backs and so
hoop, which one of those guys on that board. Do you want? And
I'm going to say remind Ray Stevenson,
I Don't Mind Ray Stevenson ranked ahead of Damien Harris.
Wow. Yeah, it look, so
he had five different games last year with 12 more touches,
okay. Over 75 yards from scrimmage and all of them 15.8,
fantasy points
per came.
I just for me, I just think Stephenson's the better running
back. He's the more versatile running back. I Damien Harris
night player. Yeah, but he's a north-south. Runner between
the tackles
reminder, a Stephenson, is somebody that is going to
inherit the James, White role automatically with James White
retiring. He's the best pass catching running back on that
team
and he's also somebody who's big enough to can go between
the tackles and one of the things that I think Belichick
wants to do and you've seen him do this before is like a lot of
times, you know, you'd watch a Patriots game you like
why is Rex Burkhead running up the middle?
You know, and the because
it got to a point where you knew if LeGarrette Blount was
back there, they were running up, the middle of James, White
was in, there was a pass and so Belichick wants to like wants
to try to change
it. It up based on who's out there and Stephenson, gives him
more versatility in the play. Calling
whoever's calling plays for the
for the Patriots. This year, we're still down,
we still don't know
to me. I just feel like we're Madre Stevenson who, if you
looked at week 2, and against Carolina,
he was part of their two-minute drill,
okay? Last year, he was not a part of the two-minute drill.
Again, that was always James why he is a,
he's gonna get all the passing down work and half of the,
the rushing work.
Give me Ramon Ray Stevenson 90's, electron sleeper, but
give me over Damien Harris. I'm at running back 2988 overall,
which are both higher positionally in overall, then
Yahoo has them. Yeah. Belichick's publicly praising
his paws camps the skills. They even said
he does have that upside to be the first Patriots three down
running back in Forever. Corey Allen? Yes, of course. Dylan,
right. Yeah, I mean so he's got that upside but the guy I'm
taking first
is nigh him Hines. And the reason for this is that
I'm thinking about coaching and coaching philosophy.
Someone like say like Pete Carroll in his bones, he wants
to run the ball against the run the ball on first down, second
down and then throw on third down, I don't think Frank Reich
wanted to be the guy who had the Bell cow running back last
year and Jonathan Taylor, which is
running him constantly.
I think that Frank Reich wants to be more diverse spot on
offense. I think that he wants to throw the ball more. I think
that one of the most interesting games of all last
season was Colts box where Frank Reich, just threw
the ball. Like 22 times in
a row. I think that we saw what he wanted to do with Andrew
luck as well. I think he's just petrified Carson Wentz, and he
was so scared at the end of the said, now you get to enjoy that
for this season. Thanks, but look, naive
Hines, I think it's real lessening. Tyler's workload
using Hines as a receiver, not running Taylor into the ground
so much just taking care of his career a little
bit more. So I think there are some scope for highs to exceed
expectations. I like the call here, especially where he's
going, especially if you're in a PPR League or half. PPR
League, especially, obviously, has more value in PPR, but
I think he will be used as a receiver more often than not
and listen, if
Don't want to take J crouchers word for this.
We at least take Frank reich's
word for it, because Frank White was given a quote and he
just said, let's I don't play Fantasy but if I did, I draft
19. Heinz this year, it's pretty good. Yeah, again Frank
Wright goodly understanding ATP with Jonathan Taylor going
number one overall but I think you are right in that
you know Heinz is going to have a significant role
on an offense that we think is going to be pretty good this
year. So I like that.
I'm gonna go with a guy named James Robinson
again. Like we love Travis CTN. But there's two things to
consider, right? So yeah, give me James Robinson, put a little
beer mug there. There we go. It's like,
it's drunken Keno, is what we need? This is what it is. So if
you do not fun, if you could drink a little Gruff it's
usually in. It's usually in bars, you know, is
but
look last year
from weeks, three through six, he was the six best running
back in Fantasy last year. Yeah, again and that's what
the Urban Meyer and everything that was going wrong, right? I mean
so
I mean like James Robinson. Got a lot of touches
Jer. And I know, it's always dicey to use the word touches
and Urban Meyer in kind of the same sentence, but I'll just
say that he was a guy that on a bad offense. Got a ton of work
and was really productive, we know, two years
ago, he was fantasy gold. And so now you think about Doug
Peterson come from the Eagles, think about Jordan, Howard or
Jay, ajayi a, or, and Ryan. Doug Peterson likes a multiple
running back, commit by committee and etn coming off.
His own major injury. I
I think he wants to run them into the ground now. James
Robinson's going to slowly come back, right? Peterson said on
August 22nd. I don't think you go full steam ahead. Quote,
I think you gradually increase Robinson's reps. You don't want
to stress his body,
but at the same time, he needs
to get enough work where he's possibly ready to go for
Washington. If that's the case that is week, one there at my
commanders
and so look James Robinson.
It's currently going 112
running back 42.
We know about the talent, if he's healthy enough to be
active for Week 1, you not starting in week 1 but having
him on your roster again, I think this is more of
a committee
Etienne. I get the upside. I think he's explosive. I love
Travis. He Tian. But where James Robinson is going,
I think is really, really interesting. You'll see some
snuke honor in there to start off, but
yeah, give me James Robinson who's going in the 13th. Round
somebody that has literally been a top five fantasy running back
at various Points.
Each of the last two seasons
going in. Running back 42. James a.j. sorry.
Call me James Robinson,
it's fine. I think with the thing there is that Doug
Pederson, no Eagle under Doug, Peterson ever, got 180 calories
in the season. It was all timeshare, and James Robinson
average, four point five yards per carry.
So he's clearly got it.
My next guys, Michael Carter.
Okay, we saw doing the DAC. Towing the dark, and my thing
there is
like we shall freeze holds the starter. Why is everyone just
anointed brace whole as the guy who's going to get? You know,
if the three down work like He's not Michael Carter,
I think has some scope even to be the starter and to get 1st and
2nd down work. And not
just be a passing down back and I think that they are going to
run the ball like I don't think they trust any of their
quarterbacks, really? I don't think Joe Flacco
is going to be let to cook. Like No One's Gonna let Joe
Flacco cook. They going to confiscate the chefs at
immediately where Joe Flacco and so I think that Michael
Carter
is going to get opportunity
and and yeah an early on in the season he might even outperform
Bruce Hall, he's going as running back 4613.
In the 13th round
at
don't understand the breeze Hall. Well, I got it like
the player, I like the player, but again, we've talked about this
so many times fantasy. Success comes from talent and
opportunity. Yeah, I'm with you on talent for Bruce Hall
America. I'm with you on res Halls talent but I'm not with
you on opportunity. I think because of the draft Capital
people are assuming Breeze Halls going to suddenly be this
this this you know every down back and you're like
they're not paying attention anyone that thinks that
again. When Michael Carter didn't play last last last
night, you know with the starters resting? Yeah he
rested. Res Hall played with a 2's
Breeze Hall played with a 2's.
This is a this is a coaching staff that came from San Francisco.
Again they are all Kyle. Shanahan disciples
multiple running backs. They like a running back by committee.
It is going to be. It is going to be a timeshare between
Breeze Hall and Michael Carter
behind a bad offensive line that got worse when Makai
becton. Hurt. Yeah, so
and a team that we think is going to be down. We still
don't know exact Wilson's. Any good? And we know what Jeff
will like we think. Like think we know he's kind of bad until
proven otherwise until proven otherwise I mean you know, like
and
that maybe we might even
buy the moms like them. They like a bad boy.
But what we're talking about here is fantasy football
and I'm with you in terms of the ATP for Michael Carter.
Again, running back 46. I think you're going to get hat, he's
gonna get The Passing down work and he's going to
I think he A outperforms his ATP.
Yeah,
my next guy that I am taking here on running back.
Kino
is Raheem moster or as I like to call them for team must
start. Okay. Look,
he is
injuries or a concern. I get that the
anti. The, the anti moster argument is
you can't stay healthy
the great, totally understand that.
However,
When he plays, he's really good. You think about 2019?
772 rushing yards, 8, rushing touchdowns.
He was,
he was, you know, basically you know, a double digit Fantasy
Point guy, think about that, the title game against Green
Bay with the, you know, the over 200 yards and the four
rushing touchdowns
most are, you know,
most times I have to tell you is like to me somebody that's
really interesting because of where he's going, right? Yeah.
He is currently going as running back 47.
Yeah, and so he comes to
again, bad injury, but is somebody that has always been
explosive. He comes to Mike McDaniel, who he played for in
San Francisco. I don't think we all like Chase Edmunds. I think
Chase Edmunds is a value this year but I actually think most
hurt
again going in the 13th into the 13th. Round
is really interesting to me
reunited with with Mike McDaniel. He's a better pass.
Catcher that he gets credit for.
I thought that was interesting,
so I think it's going to be a committee. They don't want
Chase evidence to be an every down back, he's not built that
way
and we think this offense is going to be really interesting
and so who gets the goal line carries.
I think they'll do some interesting stuff with the goal
line with Edmonds and Tyree, killing Jalen waddle. In terms
of like, you know, some sweeps and
you know, pitch outs and that kind of stuff. But like, when
they got a hammer it from, you know, second and goal,
I think it's going to be most dirt.
And so again,
health is the issue here. But that is baked into his ATP
where he's currently going his running back, 47, he's not even
been drafted it every week. Yeah, so give me Rahim, most
hurt, I think
as a, as an upside fire on offense, that we think is going
to be better, reunited, with his coach, who has been. When
he has been on the field has been productive. And I think
there is a path to him having playing time here.
Raheem the Dream.
Yeah, I think that the thing that like he's averaged five
yards per carry every season that it does. Everyone realize
that like, he's just explosive and dominant. I know a lot of
that is Shanahan but still just the upside, that's what you're
writing. That point
my lost guys, Isaiah Pacheco.
Okay, writing upside, that's very, very sexy. Yes,
the berries, very sexy. Very trendy name, very trendy and look
the reason I'm buying in is simply that
I trust and arrayed with running backs. In terms of,
I don't think there's a team, the puts running backs in a better
position to succeed down by down in terms of the scheme in
terms of the Run blocking
and also there's a little kind of Antonio Gibson Vive about
Clyde Edward solare like it's It never happened
for Clyde old right now
and sorry, look, I don't think that has a protector is going
to come in and be like the Workhorse back and be the next
coming of Jamaal Charles or something. But I think there is
scope just because of the scheme and because of collided
with solar,
I think ceh is kind of agree with you by the way. I think
he's a fetch player. You ever see Mean Girls you know stop
trying to make fetch happen. That's a stop. Trying to make
ceh happen. Yeah. Stop trying to make it happen like it's not
going to be it.
He played Pacheco played more snaps with the starters. He
played ten, then ceh, who played?
And Jerick McKinnon 7, I think it's a three headed monster.
I think it is Pacheco,
Clyde Edwards, you layer and Jerick McKinnon. And I think
it's gonna be a three-headed monster there with with Kansas
City.
I think there's a chance that
Ronald Jones Road, Joe doesn't even make this team. Yes,
the Chiefs have
my only concern of Pacheco and I don't mind, I mean where he's
going, and he's going his running back 51 on Yahoo so
I don't mind the
being drafted. Like he's certainly a flyer seventh-round
draft pick definitely has better measurables than you
know Darwin.
And who's, you know,
like fantasy. Twitter is the anti Isaiah Pacheco, fantasy?
Twitter
is always like, oh yeah, I remember everyone was excited
about Darwin Thompson, three years ago and look how that
turned out but check how has better measurables? And it's
a different player. Just a different skill set, different
body type than Darwin Thompson.
I'm a little bit
nervous just because I do think
I don't know that there's going to be one. Kansas City Chiefs
running back that has a ton of value because they are so mix
and match,
but I think pacheco's emergence is more a reason to avoid. Boyd
Clyde Edwards, e layer
and on the line of fire on Pacheco. He is certainly
a trendy sleeper.
You certainly like that. Andy Reid has has had success
by the way. Can we get a
can we get a close-up of
my phone here real quickly?
Can we can we get that?
Can we get a close-up of this? Can you guys see? See this
my phone? This text. Can you keep coming and keep coming and
Tighter? Tighter tighter tighter, tighter, tighter
tighter, tighter tighter,
so keep going focusing,
huh? All right. It just it's a, it's just whatever. You're on
it. You're a group changed
from that case. Yeah,
big boss
is the big guy. Jay, you're fired.
