RB rankings: Can Breece Hall surpass Christian McCaffrey? | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

all right let's get into the tier start off with tier one Headlines by Christian mcaffrey uh no surprise there just three guys in this tier mcaffrey Bree Hall is your rb2 Matthew and then bejan Robinson is rb3 let's start off with Christian mcaffrey and first of all we haven't seen a lot of Christian mcaffry in the preseason but Kyle Shanahan does not seem too concern yeah that's what's good when you're that upset Ive about everything I mean when you're hurt you're hurt you can't go um but when you take every rep every walkr everything you do you're just so deliberate and everything when he's probably walking down the aisle to get married he's probably thinking about his feet and how to do routes no no offense to Olivia but um it's he's obsessed with it and so when you do get in these situations where you do get hurt and you can't go do all that stuff at least he's put the work in before tough break for Olivia but good news for ners fans that Chris mcaffry is thinking about his routes as he's walking down the aisle do you think that Chris mcaffry Lawrence is just the clear 101 uh clearcut as in like this is the only person you should draft in a fantasy league uh I wouldn't say that he's the consensus number one I've had number one and I've taken him number one but I've also had a second pick and taking uh Bree Hall so if you're in a full PPR League I wouldn't be mad at you if you took CD lamb especially now that he got his contract I would be mad if you took Tyreek Hill cuz listen both of these guys were within one point of Christian mcaffrey on a points per game basis last year uh for Fantasy so if it's those guys and maybe breea then we have a conversation but if you're if you're going into half PPR if you still play standard yeah I'm taking Christian McCaffrey uh number one in that situation Matthew do you think there a k to take brace over mcaffrey uh with the first pick I think there's a case uh it's not one that I would make but you could always make a case which is just that right you know mcaffrey has been injured throughout this preseason he has PRI prior to this you know like there were two years where he basically was unusable in fantasy now he's been great the last two years he's been great ever since he came to San Francisco but there were two years where again similar situation he was the number one player drafted in fantasy or a very high draft pick in fantasy and he missed much of the year so Bree Hall uh you know younger younger in in theory not as much of an injury risk although it's it's crazy to think about that because obviously you know two years ago he had he had he had the he had the big injury as well but so I think there's a you can make a case for Bree Hall but I to me the better case is that if you're not going mcaffrey at 101 then you're you're going cidi lamb or Justin Jefferson or Tyreek Hill like you're going just a different position but it it feels like feels like if you're going chrish mcaffrey I will say this though I just interest for whatever it's worth I'm in a guillotine league and 18 this is an 18 person Guillotine League not ours a different one um 18 person Guillotine league and the team at number one picked Bree Hall over chrish mcaffrey so I could sort of see that just because it's a guillotine league and maybe it feel like and again it's going to be 36 picks before so maybe feel like there's maybe a slightly higher floor or safety to Bree hall because of this we've seen Caffrey missed the entire preseason but I don't know I every time I've had the 101 I've been taking Chris mcaffry y I think the concerns about mcaffrey would be last year his stats were a little bit dependent on these long explosive runs which are not as um projectable going forward also he was healthy for the full season until basically the final week which he missed the ners were awesome last year and were constantly in positive game script just in general you know project them to on average be the number one seed again so there a little bit with mcaffry in L the injuries and well by the way not just the injuries but this is I think an underreported story like so much has been made about cidi lamb Brandon iuk jar Chase has hold out Trent Williams is holding out here and they are a different team with Trent Williams on the offensive line you know and take it from somebody that you know went through like Trent Williams is one of those guys like take it from a commanders fan like Trent Trent ain't bluffing you I mean you know what I mean like that's a guy who wants his money Trent wants his money and by the way if you look at the numbers of Brock pie I know this is a running back show but if you look at Brock P's numbers with and without Trent Williams they are Stark there's a very big difference so hopefully that gets figured out and Trent gets back into camp but I that is something that I would say now mcaffry is such a asset in the passing game and Shanahan is such a a creative play caller that I think even if Trent Williams isn't there they will scheme different ways to get him the ball but I'm just saying like again if you want to make the Bree Hall case that's another thing that you could add to that case is that like again they're missing their you know one of the best laugh T left tackles in football history yep uh Lawrence let's jump to Bree Hall who I mean last time we saw him he was getting like 37 carries against the Patriots in week 18 seems like he is primed for Workhorse usage behind an improved offensive line in New York and also what should just be an exponentially improved offense with Aaron Rogers yeah that's why it makes what he did last year all the more impressive because he was doing it with that version of the Jets offensive line and you spoke on week 18 during the fantasy playoffs from weeks 14 to the end of the season he was the best running back in fantasy at 25 Point uh fantasy points per game in in that span so the whole season he's rb2 right in points per game again with that version of the Jets o line how high would I take him I just said it earlier I've taken him with a second spot because I know if I like I'm not I don't have a chance to get him back if you're at the number two three four spot and you want that top tier level running back you have to get him at that point or you run the risk of letting someone else get him at nine or 10 that team's going to be good if your team getting Bree Hall at the ninth or 10th pick in your fantasy draft that's going to be a pretty solid team so I would take him as high as two and that's exactly what I've done yeah I I don't think there's much more I can add to how good Bree Hall is better offensive line better offense longer sustained drives a and um oh by the way uh you know Rogers wanted to protect Rogers they're going to want to be more balanced on offense as well I think the better the better question is is what about Bree Hall versus Bean Robinson I've seen that debate right and they're it's razor thin they're both awesome they're both going to have monster years I guess to me the argument for Bree Hall over bejan Robin this is why I did this like at this level you have to sort of you know you have to nitpick a little bit and I guess I feel better about the Back Field that Bree Hall's in where I'm not worried about you know brayan Allen's going to get a a little bit of work but whatever versus Tyler aler who we continue to see like Tyler Al's good he's not bej Robinson but Tyler aler is good and the reports out of Camp is that they do want to use Tyler aler some bejon Robinson still going to get a ton of work he's still obviously going to be active in the passing game but when you think about um when you think about the the Falcons oh you know they they've got bejan Robinson and Tyler out I guess he just I just I feel better about the talent of Tyler aler uh and the competition better meaning worse like I think Tyler is a higher level of competition for beon than brillan Allen is for Bree hall or Jordan Mason is for Chris mcaffrey yeah it's an interesting one because I me there's so much going on here first tyg was awesome his rookie season wasn't as good last year though he was sub 4.0 yards per carry last year Bean Robinson who quietly had like almost 1500 scrimmage yards eight touchdowns he was fine overall he just didn't live up to expectations but last year Bean when you factor in cter Patterson's carries as well he got less than 50% of the Falcons running back carries which is just I think insane and I think there we should fire Arthur Smith again can we just go back in time and fire him again he might get a new chance to get fired based on how the steals have looked in preseason but I think the thing with Bean is that there are just so many kind of institutional pressures that are going to push him towards more Workhorse status where like the Rahim is coming you think he's not going to use beon Robinson you really think he's not going to use he already said he's like our plan is to get our best player of the ball um in fact speaking of Arthur Smith which is smart the Jo what I call the Josie offense that that is smart Matthew uh and speaking of Arthur Smith bejan's first nine games last season 16 touches a game his last eight went up to 19 and a half touches per game unfortunately for Arthur Smith he waited too late to do that so oh now Raheem mois comes in he's like you know what I'm not going to play around like that I'm going to get this young man the ball who's doing behind the back catches and stuff like that I'm going to get him the ball so yes Tyler aler will will have a row and should quite frankly have a row as the change of pace running back but if you're get if you're going to get bejon Robinson 19 touches per game that is enough for him to pay off where he's getting drafted Oh we love Bean this year again he's gonna have a monster year the question is just Bree versus bejon where do you have him ranked I have bejon as rb3 okay yeah same is it would Bree is definitely the number like I feel like he closer to CMC to me then bejan will be to Bree because of the point you made about the competition that they'll have in their respective bfield they're both all three guys are tier one running backs all three guys are first rounders this year it's just to me that's the debate every I think most people agree Chris mcaffrey won then it's Bree versus bejon for ARB 2 and we're both Bree slightly over Bean because again slightly less competition for Bree in the um uh in the back field there hey it's Matthew Barry from nbcsports.com and rotoworld.com and I want to thank you so much for watching whatever it is
