Justin Herbert, DeAndre Hopkins INJURED, Chase Brown Gains Steam. Time To Start Drafting Rashee Rice

Intro rankings risers and fallers we had some injuries come out over the past weekend and those guys have fallen in the rankings hey we've also had some good news though come out and those guys have gone up a little bit here so here is a rankings update as always you be sure to head over the community tab right here on the YouTube channel you will always able to find my rankings right there we're going to update those as the preseason continues and then my goal is to do weekly rankings throughout the season help you guys out the start S decisions but we'll get there when we get there my first Riser here and this is one that maybe I was a little bit slow to getting around to and maybe I should have changed this earlier it's Chase Brown I really feel Chase Brown like this is a guy who is going to be one of the hype Darlings of the preseason think back to Damen Pierce a couple years ago and Chase Brown sort of feels like he's heading in that same direction a little bit here Zach Moss apparently has played with like a third string at times during training camp he has not uh been everything they hoped and dreamed he would be when they made that move to get him in the off season they shipped Away Joe Mixon Chase Brown's running with the ones you hear the offensive lineman saying hey I would draft him in my fantasy team so if these guys are taking him then we should be too I moved him all the way up to running back 27 just behind Jaylen Warren and DeAndre Swift ahead of James Connor and Tai J Spears it's a really kind of messy tier there that you're looking at right now Marshon Lloyd also in that tier for me and it's guys who are going to be splitting in the back field guys who on the younger end of things are guys who maybe have the opportunity to overcome what's in front of them and Guy James Conor who might go into the season start but potentially could lose that job out of that group I actually think there's a chance that chase Brown has the most upside of this entire group he profiles as a pass catcher but you know in Cincinnati there's going to be a lot of goal line opportunities too it's going to be a question whether or he can keep Zach Moss off the field in those but he could really have some high upside for your team our first Faller unfortunately is Justin Herbert Justin Herbert he suffered a planta fasia injury last week and those are injuries that scare me a lot plan fitus is a terrifying injury for these quarterbacks for any players um gosh I used to play Fantasy Basketball and that was just like a kiss of death for those guys because it's one of those injuries you try to play through but you're never quite 100% you're never quite good to go it's not one that's ever going to really shut you down but it's just a painful tough limiting injury and so for Justin Herbert there's already a lot of reasons to be concerned new head coach new offensive coordinator no weapons all that's not good already for him I think one thing that some of us had a little bit of Hope for Justin Herbert was that his legs would help him out in this offense right he's a guy who's kind of an underrated athlete he hasn't rain a whole lot so far in his NFL career it was a thing he did a little bit of back in college but with Greg Roman now as the offensive coordinator coming from Baltimore with Lamar Jackson of course before that he was with Kaepernick back in San Francisco and uh Tyrod Taylor in Buffalo it was a thing that we thought maybe we could see a little bit more of that being in Herbert's game for the first time but I really don't think it's be the case now and I'm very very concerned it's just going to be a bad bad messy year I mentioned during my bust uh video I did last week and he's pretty much solidified himself onto my do not draft list at this point I have him right now in front of Gino Smith and Aaron Rogers but I can easily see that change with just a couple good reports for those guys um Gino also a little banged up butly he's not nearly as serious as Herbert's uh Aaron Rogers you know I'm a little bit nervous you just don't aren't going to get to see it at all in the preseason but I do have him behind now Baker Mayfield and DeShaun Watson and will Levis and Matthew Stafford he's kind of in that backup tier in a one QB League I'm not drafting any of these guys but a 2 QB League or a super Flex League that'll be my qb2 that I'll play in that second slot but in a 1 QB League unfortunately I just don't think I'm even going to mess with Justin Herbert this year which is crazy let's get back to another Riser here and that is Rashi rice the wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs he was really an Rashee Rice exciting player last year really came on second half of the season emerged mom's favorite Target in the second half and I think a lot of us were very excited about the breakout potential for Rashi rice and then all the things happened in the off season with you know the uh the drag racing and everything kind of went into that there was a story about you know a photographer at a club and things happening there it wasn't very good and kind of looked like oh gosh we're going to be heading towards a suspension well it turns out his court case isn't until December there's been no news coming out about this whole situation and we are getting closer and closer to the start of the season at this point I think it's fair to wonder if it won't even happen this season and we could end up in a situation similar to Alvin chra where it actually took a full season going by before there was any suspensions or punishments heading down from the NFL so he has moved up to my wide receiver 35 kind of in that Flex range I do think it could be a discount though I really think that if you had the coone to be the guy that takes Rashi rice he could perform better than that ranking but you have to be aware of the fact that it could just be gone out of nowhere at any moment NFL players I already kind of always ballpark like injury risk is 10% for everybody Rashi rice though his chances of missing games have to be a little bit elevated because of a potential suspension another follower I want to mention for sure is DeAndre Hopkins unfortunately he suffered an injury as well he's going to miss the remainder of the preseason he's going to miss the rest of training camp he might even miss the start of the season and as an older wide receiver I am incredibly concerned about this as well DeAndre Hopkins unfortunately now will be a player who I completely avoid this fall as draft and it's not good it hurts will Lis a little bit too um I didn't move him down I kind of hope for the ridly factor to really help him out and still kind of maintain his potential as a sleeper for me but for DeAndre Hopkins yeah man you're at that age where you have a preseason injury I'm just going to be totally out hopefully it works out great and I pay for it but man I'm not doing it Isaiah likely of the Baltimore TJ Hackinson Ravens T.J hackinson of the Minnesota Vikings hackinson coming back from the ACL and likely sitting behind Mark Andrews both are kind of in similar situations where maybe they have to buy their time but maybe their time will come sooner than we all think for likely let's start with him first here so reports have come out that he could actually kind of function as a team's number two receiver in this offense that as a BAL Ravens fan not the most exciting thing in the world for me to hear I don't love that that means that they flowers may not be coming through or theot bitman hype was nothing but smoking noise but for isaia likely what this could mean is opportunity and it doesn't take a whole heck of a lot for him to be able to kind of become a relevant tight end it takes less for him than it would for baitman to matter a wide receiver so there is some sleeper potential there for Isaiah likely if he can get off to a little bit of a start here T.J Hawkinson I've just kind of been operating under the assumption he would start the season on Cup list mix Miss six weeks and then kind of work his way back from there that doesn't seem to be the case they're not ruling him out for week one yet so that there's a chance hackinson comes back sooner he could be a big part of this offense if he comes in with McCarthy I think there could be some goodness there to be had for TJ hackinson at a bit of a discount still this will to be a quick one because only that one spot but it's number one spot overall for me and a CD lamb because of this ongoing hold out situation we are deep enough into the preseason and training camp so far that I think I'm ready to move him down one spot and put Tyreek Hill as my number one wi receiver Jonathan Brooks the final piece of injury news that we're going to touch on here and that's Jonathan Brooks the running back for the Carolina Panthers he will miss the rest of the training camp in the preseason the do not expect them to be ready to go until weeks three or four that kind of puts a little bit damper on it for me I was hoping he would at least be active for those games and you know if you kind of view it as like a four-week ramp up period that's like weeks one through four where him ramping up and then week five on takes off now I think we're looking at like a week three four return weeks four through seven ramp up and then week eight we take off so that's going to bump him down a little bit my ranking I do still have my running back 34 though and can still be a second half lead winner for you so those are the updates to my rankings guys you can find all the updates on the community tab there are more minor moves I made as well these just kind of some of the major ones I did move puka to Kua down one spot as well as his injury news came out as well he's weak to weak but I still like puka so much I could not move him down anymore are you guys concerned about puka nakua and Justin Herbert and these other injury guys let me know in the comments down below and be sure to check out more and more videos I've got the channel right here to get you all set
