Jonathon Brooks, Zack Moss stocks take preseason hit | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

let's jump into the preseason fallers the news we're buying we're not riding off anyone's NFL career just yet and Jay the first guy Jonathan Brooks simply just because he's not ready he got hurt you know pretty late in his college season last year season ending injury won't play in the preseason is expected back around week three to four but maybe at the end of the day this actually creates some value for him where if he was ready to start the season he'd probably be overdrafted yeah and it was kind of Dave Canales to refreshingly give a specific timeline he had you know week three or four which you don't typically get um which was nice and I think also nice for Jonathan Brooks is that the Bucks last year they just ran the ball too much under Dave Canales and Rashad white was second in the NFL in carries this shouldn't have happened he wasn't getting anything he was getting 3.6 yards per carries yeah he had the same amount of carries as Christian McCaffrey Christian mcaffry was 5.4 yards per carry and Rashad white 3.6 so I think that Dave Canalis he is obsessed perhaps to a fault with the idea of establishing the run to help out his quarterback and to create the passing plays in there and clearly Brooks goes into a backfield that is not particularly intimidating chuba hubber is fine miles Sanders is trending down naturally uh so I think that there is a wealth of opportunity um I mean he was a second round pick for a reason Conor but do you think that what do you think that his usage is going to look like when he's back the pass game and that's why I'm excited about his return I I think even at times when you watch them at Texas you'd like to see him get in space even more on screens dump off swing passes angle routes and and I think Canalis is almost tailor made when you look at Rashad White's usage where you go okay they want to protect their young quarterback they want to throw to the running back so I think that's where Brooks's usage is going to be that in November he feels like a guy that in a way could be a bit of a PPR Merchant that I would be excited about and Denny I'll throw it to you like this we showed that backfield chuba hubard mil Sanders I mean is this even a backfield worth streaming while you're waiting for Brooks or do you just ignore it entirely until he's back listen chuba hubard he it's not pretty folks but he gets it done okay you know it's uh it's it's three yards in a cloud of dust but coaches seem to really be into chuba hubard for some reason the the Panthers offense always ends up let's just give it to chuba HUB so I I I think that he will have early season fantasy value especially in in in deeper formats I I am taking him here and there I will admit so Brooks I I agree with you Connor in that I think does what' you say you were an to admit that but I'm glad how I I do yeah no I have to be honest with the folks okay uh but Brooks Brooks has some late season Intrigue okay like you know when he comes back in October most likely maybe he gets a ramp up period and then by the end of October early November he gets the the lead back roll and and gets those valuable targets you know underneath and whatever he becomes a PPR cheat code of of of sorts but the thing is he's going at rb28 and that's around Jaylen Warren that's around Naj Harris that's around Zack moss and javante Williams like for me I I can't take Brooks there like I I I'm taking those other guys I feel like um if he drops you know to be you know rb32 rb35 maybe I'll have some interest but right now I think it's a little too rich yeah I think the thing too that we have to keep in mind with everything Panthers related this season is that whole season that whole whole organization this year is geared towards one thing and that's making Bryce young look good if he does everyone loses theirs and that is all that is going to I think that in terms of how that affects Jonathan Brooks I think that they are going to be doing I think Canalis is going to be doing what he did with bacer Mayfield last year where he's running to put Mayfield in better situations I think it's going to be a lot of dump offs for Bryce young he going to be a lot of short game quick game because one I mean that's what Bryce young is good at um and I don't think he's going to be a downfield guy like the way that Mayfield was to Evans last year so I think there is going to be a lot of uh yeah PPR mergency we talked about Chase Brown and our risers here but Zach Moss makes the fallers Denny but you brought up his ADP in where he's being drafted amongst running backs where it actually doesn't seem that crazy uh compared to if you you know some of the guys around him I know there's Intrigue in the Steelers backfield but you brought up hey I'm not taking Brooks in that range so when you s look at Matthews rankings here uh running backs 26 through 35 how do you feel about where Moss stands right now despite us looking at him as a Faller because his team his reps with the first team haven't been where we wanted them to be this summer right and that you know that could be injury related look Zach Moss I've been playing this game long enough to know Z Zach Moss is a boring back okay he has a boring profile he's you know Chase Brown so much more exciting we remember the big plays from last season or I should say the big play um and you know so Zach Moss is sort of forgotten by fantasy managers who they they like their highlights right I like my highlights too but Zach Moss just kind of might sneak in there and just become the Old Reliable back that the Bengals rely on you know down the stretch especially uh Joe Mixon never exciting in this offense okay like he got it done for Fantasy I think that Moss can can be that guy if Chase Brown struggles at all this year so I'm keeping tabs on it honestly though I would like to see moss drop a little more you know and and maybe maybe that happens in the next week or two we'll we'll see uh but I if he does then he'll be on a lot of my teams to your point Danny I'm not sure anyone has ever gotten more run out of one screen pass against the Indianapolis Colts like Chase Brown um did last season you take that play out and then all of a sudden his whole profile looks different but the idea that he is this explosive um big play guy kind of comes from that play and obviously he has uh some sort of track record in college as well but with Zach Moss what I would focus on is last year uh the number 18 running back in fantasy was Jerome Ford who's not super sexy not super exciting but was just out there um and that was after obviously chub started the season as the starter and I think with moss just by being Rock Solid by being in a good offense uh by being a guy who could potentially um get Red Zone touches um there is certainly the pathway where I like to play into going up against the ex really exciting guy where I think that you know people will buy into Chase Brown because he does have the upside but there's every chance that Zack Moss ends up being the guy you want in that backfield and right now like he's not being drafted um particularly high at all he's going as running back 28 on yahooo like right next to Nick chub who we have no idea when he's going to be playing football hey it's Matthew Barry from nbcsports.com and rotoworld.com and I want to thank you so much for watching whatever it is you just watched or if nothing else being too lazy to click out of the autoplay after this video started after whatever it is you actually wanted to
