Analyzing Devin Singletary, Zamir White's fantasy value | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

over in the Giants backfield Jay motor single ter dominates first team snaps he played all but four snaps in the first half Tyrone Tracy deals with the ankle injury this a backfield is not pretty his offense is certainly not pretty from what we saw from Daniel Jones but Devin single ter the pathway is there for him to be a true somewhat Workhorse back that maybe considering at Cost brings a little bit of value if you need a guy that simply plays yeah and he plays which is the main thing and he's largely I mean somewhat unopposed in that back field the injury to Tyron Tracy not as serious as expected initially but I mean look he's a d guy he's played with d I don't think they're going to want Daniel Jones to drop back 45 times especially based on what we saw on the weekend so I think this offense is going to be it's a lot of going to be targeting Malik neighbors and then running the ball with de single ter and the offensive line isn't good in New York but at least it is better than last year there is a bit more confidence there you know what I completely agree with you it's also one of the reasons why I like Tyrone Tracy Conor and I both you know he's one of our sleepers this year but the fact is is that and I don't want to like just dump on Daniel Jones who whatever he had a bad day at the office right and but like we've seen him be a productive quarterback in the NFL and I think they'll fix it but I will say if you're Brian deall and you're watching that tape because he had Daniel Jones had like just two brutal mistakes in that game he th he threw the pick six from The End Zone like and uh and another interception that was just bad poor decision- making so um I think if you're Brian deall you want to try to simplify the offense and that means running the ball or dumping it off to Devon single ter Tyrone Tracy two very good pass catching running backs uh as well and try to limit what you're putting on Daniel Jones's shoulder until he gets his confidence back up it just that's the thing to me it's like I don't think it's nearly as bad as Sam darnold or Zack Wilson but that was one of the issues I always had with darnold or Wilson with the Jets like I just think their confidence got so shot because the media was so brutal their offensive line was so brutal and just and I think that's happened somewhat to Daniel Jones after last year just like Jones having the same year that he had last year but doing it in in Pittsburgh you know or or Cleveland is not the same as having that kind of year in New York yeah I think it was mainly the o line I think he just got rattled and he started seeing ghost cuz to he was getting he was under pressure in like sub two seconds it was completely insane I think the thing with Jones that's an issue too is that yeah two years ago he was really good he finished this qb9 in fantasy he had 15 passing touchdowns all of his value his Surplus value was 700 rushing yards and seven rushing TDS and that's what you worry a bit think off the ACL is maybe he doesn't have the same level of Mobility an interesting scenario guys from the weekend zamir white plays deep into the game for the Raiders uh Madison took the passing downs and on top of this the Raiders also named gner muu their starting quarterback Matthew the zamir white case is really interesting because there's not a lot of running backs in fantasy that are playing this deep into a preseason game that go on to have a great fantasy season but at the same time Antonio Pierce is a little unconventional I mean they were six and a half Point favorites in this game we knew they were going to play play more noteworthy players deeper into the game how do you evaluate this one in a in a Back Field that can be hard to figure out which it it is super weird because one of the teams that did play their starters you know long into a uh into a preseason game was the Raiders with Josh Jacobs two years ago Fame Hall of Fame game like I get like and I'll own this like I Josh Jacobs was on my hate list that year and there were a few reasons why and one of them was that I was just like it's a it's a one-year deal they're going to just run him into the ground like they they don't care like they're playing him in the Hall of Fame game with all their actual starters on the bench like this is going to be a committee you know like Josh Jacobs isn't going to be used in the passing game they got air Abdullah they want to use him blah blah blah I said all this stuff and I could not have been more wrong could not have been more wrong because Josh Jacobs despite playing like in the third quarter of that Hall of Fame game and with the the second string backups um ended up having a monster year won rushing he won the FED I was just going to say he won the FedEx rushing title he he very graci graciously came on our show at the Super Bowl and I was able to look him in the eye and apologize to him uh you know for doubting him and he graciously accepted the apology and laughed um it helps when you're sitting there with the the big FedEx rushing title um the ground yard's uh uh trophy but but but you know it's weird right like it it is not something you often see but the Raiders are one of those teams that has done that having said this having said this about zamir White I Alexander Madison played more than I thought he was going to in this you know what I mean and and I worry that zamir white we have a very small sample size yes right of him being like a productive rb1 very small sample size and it's weird because I mentioned Madison But like everyone last year was crowning Alexander Madison oh dvin cook is gone Madison's going to be the guy for the Vikings and like he just wasn't good he wasn't ready for Prime Time Samir white was a was a day three pick right yep it's a day three pick a guy that came into the league with a ton of hype and so he got an opportunity but listen um Dy Lobby is having a really nice Camp as well they clearly like Madison what they've seen there I zamir white makes me nervous this year in terms of current 8p the problem is the cost but Jay I'll throw it to you like this we know Madison is not good we have seen it over and over again we don't know if Samir white isn't good so I'd still rather bet on the guy that we think can be good from three games four games but if you're if you're looking at this back field and thinking like there's an answer here there is clear risk in the situation yeah I think people have perhaps just assumed that the last four games of last season is just what Zia white is going to be where he has 20 25 carries in some of these games like that wasn't the real team at that point like it's not like it just became zamir White's show because that's what they wanted to happen Josh Jacobs was injured he wasn't there zamir white was getting backed up by like Brandon Balden there was no one else there this year they have they come in with a plan they brought in Madison it's also a bit of a concern to me that we all trust Kevin oon Kevin oconnell was using Madison even at the end of the season a bit less but like we didn't understand why Ty Chandler wasn't getting more work so maybe this is something the coaches like about Alexander Madison for for sure the other thing that I'll just mention real quickly some news out like the other thing is is that last year to your point about like they just didn't have anyone like they had AOC as as their starting quarterback they have Gardner M they've named they've officially named Gardner mchu as the starting quarterback of the Raiders and look muu isn't great okay but he but he's also not terrible like I I think he's a I think he is a legit upgrade over Aiden oconnell I think Gardner mchu is a legit NFL starting caliber quarterback like is he a good starting quarterback no but like he's a reasonably professional starting quarterback who by the way last year if Tyson Goodson like catches that ball lead Ty whatever Tyler Goodson whatever I I like he dropped the ball I forgot his name but whatever my point is is like he's one Gardner mchu was one drop pass away from leading a team to the playoffs last year yep now you could say gam mu that was a bad throw and that's what G mu does and that's why they miss the playoffs it was slightly behind him the thing the thing with was catchable ball though the guy should have caught it should have been little behind him yeah it wasn't a great throw the thing with mchu is that he is bad in a way that is okay for fantasy cuz he's bad in a way where it's like how did you get strip sacked by two guys at the same time how did you not see either them coming yeah he is chaos he'll throw bad picks but he also puts the ball up for grabs and he'll he'll be able to support Devonte Adams and jacobe MERS he's he's like the Jorts version of dobs honestly that's like Jorts and long hair version of the p i kind I I kind of like that comparison I will but yes I think I I what I tweeted this out is that the naming Martin mchu he's only for whatever deep two quarterback League Super Flex leagues our awful League huh he'll be very relevant in our terrible show leag yeah yes exactly but uh he is but I think to the extent that you've invested in Devonte Adams uh or jacobe Myers or Brock Bowers I think mchu over oconnell is good for the fantasy value of those guys I completely especially Devonte Adams okay you have a chance to win $1 million in the NBC sweep Stakes on Yahoo fantasy just download the redesign Yahoo fantasy app
