newsletters where you will find the rankings always completely free and I will keep them updated let's get to it running back rankings week one I still have Christian mcaffrey at number one right now taking on the Jets that's Monday Night Football so keep an update on what is health is going to be it does appear like he is going to play Jonathan Taylor bejon Bree Hall in that same Monday Night Football game James Cook at number five against El Cardel Barkley Henry Pacho Travis eten Jr against Miami and then Kiren Williams at number 10 this has been the talk of the past week like oh my God kyon's going to be returning punts therefore he's not going to play running back anymore I think it's presented an absolutely gift opportunity for everyone in season long leagues right now CU He Slipped like two rounds all of a sudden like he was returning punts from weeks one to three before he turned his ankle last year and it didn't hurt what he was up to once he became the starter is he going to get 95% of the carries in the back field no no one thought he was going to get that anyway so whether it's korm whether it's Ronnie Rivers who comes in to spell him from time to time I don't really care I I bumped him down like a spot or two in the off chance at you know this is Cam Acres 2.0 and I'm completely wrong but for week one you drafted the guy you're rolling him out there you are and so we talked about a lot on serious X and all these shows seriesx and all in fantasy podcast and at length like you can be concerned about Kiron Williams but what I keep saying the concern was neither the punts or saying the punts don't matter like that honestly has nothing to do with my concern of Kiren Williams it has to do with the fact of Kiren Williams withstanding 20 touches a game which we already said 90% wasn't going to happen again he wasn't going to average 25 touches per week hitting the overs in Vegas when they gave him 19 and a half carries and it's like well he still hit the over we kind of expected that wasn't going to happen my only and remaining concern again has nothing to do with the punts it has to do with Blake Corin because if you're talking about what arguably was the best running back in the draft class at punching it into the end zone and being a short yardage Beast it was Blake km estimate probably in the conversation after him and others like that but my concern is what if Kiren Williams is James Cook but to your point about James Cook and in these rankings I would still have kirn just as a fringe rb1 is where you have him is worst case scenario he only has three or four rushing touchdowns but he's still going to get The Passing game this matchup leans towards the passing game seeing more work than Blake corm so not that concerned again if he only scores three or four rushing touchdowns the entire season okay he's rb1 instead of being rb2 like he was and James Cook for this week I think this is an absolutely gift spot for him against the Cardinals in week one where even if he doesn't score a touchdown it feels like he should put up 125 150 yards see yeah and that's to go back to the offseason conversation you and I had if anybody didn't watch that show where I wasn't quite as high as you were on James Cook I said that by also saying I still consider him like Matt Forte the Matt Forte years where it was only five or six touchdowns and it was tons of work between the tens you know what not every running back is going to be Christian mcaffrey or Derrick Henry but Derrick Henry doesn't do much in the passing game so you got a give and take here not super concerned uh and yeah I think both of them are in great spots I think etn in a great spot and that because he's going to be used in the passing as well so you don't have to worry about his workload if Miami gets out early so I love honestly like everybody inside your top 10 for week one you should they were all drafted as first and second rounders yeah we don't need to tell you to P to play your second round pick although there are people that like oh Bree Hall was a bad matchup against San Francisco should I play Brian Robinson instead like you know those questions are coming just just don't do that to yourself in week one no don't do it period like like this is didn't why did you draft him in the first place this is the a whole argument of quarterbacks too is like if you drafted Lamar Jackson Don't draft the second one because why are you ever sitting Lamar Jackson even if he's facing the 49ers you're still not sitting Lamar Jackson you're not sitting your first rounders the interesting thing I will say to nitpick the number one pick if you really wanted to forget injury uh meanie and I went through and I pulled up on True Media the splits with Trent Williams on the field and off the field if his contract situation isn't figured out the 49ers efficiency per touch touchdown percentage all the numbers drop into the bottom 10 of the league without Trent Williams versus being who they are with Trent Williams that is astonishing for one tackle like I know he's a generational talent and going to be a Hall of Famer but to see those numbers drop that far again you're still playing Christian mcaffrey but I think you could actually if you were playing DFS or something like that you could make the case where mcaffrey isn't the one if Trent Williams situation isn't figured out yeah and that's going to be on a showdown slate anyway on Monday night but all all that starts to lead me to believe that means it's going to be eight carries for 42 yards for mcaffry on the ground and 13 catches for 104 yards especially if auk's not out there well we'll get to that when we get to wide receivers because between Chase auk like I have them in the rankings right now we'll talk through the different scenarios if that doesn't end up happening do you worry about mcaffrey at all with the injury coming into the season no okay no because the reports I've read and of course like there's multiple coming through but I forget who who mentioned it but I saw on Twitter when it was passing through because I think it was on air when it happened but anyway the report was is that the 49ers are actually the ones holding it back is that MC mcaffrey wants to be out there with his team and they're like why like chill out it kind of similar to Devonte Williams last year remember when Javonte Williams last year was like I'm ready to go I'm ready to go and the Broncos like chill out dude we don't even know if you're ready for week one uh I kind of feel like that's the similar situation but mcaffrey is going to be fine for week one this is just why even give him touches even in practice we it's rare it happens but we've seen practice injuries happen and we've had people knocked out for the entire season in practice I think that's more the more the case than anything since the last time we spoke samj pery has ended up with the Chiefs I still have Isaiah Pacho in the opening game at number eight I don't think that per ry's going to take much away from him at all he's more Insurance maybe he'll get spelled in like Jerick used to but we did see throughout the course of the second half of last season that became all Pacho all the time in one of the better offenses in football maybe they'll get off to a slow start all I don't anticipate Baltimore's defense repeating as the overachievers that they were a year ago I think you're going to be able to run on them I want to say no problem but I think that the Chiefs will be able to run on them no problem with Pacho but as it stands in terms of handcuffs right now you would be looking at perine as the guy over Clyde Edward air yes I would actually consider perine a top five handcuff at this point mostly because if I said hey he catches 90% of his targets you could say who are you talking about between PCO and perine like that's the thing so long term three four five weeks down the road Once perine's In the Mix maybe I'm a little bit concerned about Pacho is in okay he's not top 10 now he's right in the mix of like Josh Jacobs or Joe Mixon or somebody like that where he does lose a few I mean remember you talked about it all the time during the year it was happening and McKinnon when he caught what was it eight or nine touchdowns that year so it's not like they won't use the option and Pacho has been banged up and missed time already actually I think both years but at least definitively last year he missed a decent chunk so maybe they say why give Pacho 20 touches similar to what a lot of teams do at this point and again you you pull off just a little bit from the passing game it's enough to just knock him down a few spots I would still consider PCO and rb1 even once that happened but because of that talk again I don't want to I don't want to put this out there in case it was like unfounded but I saw the report that said somebody was really shocked that they cut Prince because of what Clyde Edwards Lair was dealing with kind of a PTSD from injuries or whatever might be and that's why he's got like anxiety when he runs the ball or something whatever it was um again it wasn't multiple reports where I saw this but it was enough to say like I it stuck in the back of my mind and the fact that you also see this perine news and that Edward aair might just not be in the equation anymore and he's certainly had his struggles as a player the past two years so I would pick up perine I'd still put Mason in front of him alir Bucky Irving I actually think could have weekly uh value alone so he's up there too but Peron would be right inside the about the top five handcuffs 11 through 20 I got K Dub 3 Kenneth Walker II coming in at number 11 against Denver Joe Mixon again on Houston if you're just tuning in after a six-month break against Indianapolis Devon a chain Josh Jacobs Elvin CRA Rashad white jir Gibbs chuba hubard with Brooks on the pup list to start the season out the first four games James Conor against Buffalo and then Aaron Jones on the Vikings against the New York Giants go ahead nitpick away I don't have much to nitpick here I mean it's week one what are you going to go with here I know you're probably going to get pushed back people yelling at you about jir Gibbs that would be my assumption I see that that's that's actually an injury I'm somewhat worried about both long-term and shortterm that it's a hamstring injury they say he's good but we've seen so many of these soft tissue injuries from the preseason just linger guys play through them because they want to be out there they don't give themselves the rec a requisite time to heal and all of a sudden it pops up again that I can see Dan Campbell being like hey we can run the ball pretty steadily in this game that feels like more of a David Montgomery type Play We Know Gibbs is the better running back that's why he's being drafted higher that's why I have him ranked higher but if he is not going to be full go in terms of the volume of touches everyone I have ranked above him is the guy who's touching the ball and that's certainly fair and I was just letting you know that's the one that you were going to get pushed back on because I didn't rank him as a top eight or nine running back or eight he he was right around nine 10 11 to start the season and that tons of push back for that how could you do that you see the workload and everything and it was part of the injury and also the fact that I think Montgomery is not going to go anywhere and I know that he did really Gibbs did really good even with the split in the Montgomery in the second half of the season it's just that incons like you bring it up any time where they have a substantial lead or maybe gives is banged up and like you mentioned it's soft tissue it's kind of why like why why force the issue and maybe we're wrong maybe I'm wrong and the Gibbs should be top five but I'm just not there on it uh the one I actually will the only one that I wanted to nitpick that's not one I would nitpick but the one I wanted to is James Conor W healthy for me is going to be an rv1 I don't care who he's even facing especially with Kyler Murray back quarterback again and 100% healthy James Conor last year the second half of the Season that everybody wants to talk up Gibbs and Peko and everything like James Conor was oh by the way third behind kirn and Christian mcaffrey in points per game once he was 100% and that was without Kyler Murray being Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison opening up this offense so I'm going to have James Connor in the conversation like I my rankings would be Kiren Connor Walker Mixon and maybe even flip Mixon and Walker but I don't really care about that one but I would put Connor right at 11 I think he deserves to be an rb1 until he's hurt it's funny you mention that because I'm still running my rudimentary projections for the week already once again runthe sims.com you can use code May will customize everything you want along with the betting and DFS tools it's all tools no content and it'll give you the percentages that you want I have James Conor at 10 in the projections for the week he's actually one spot behind K one spot ahead of Gibbs Aaron Jones Derk Henry and Kenneth Walker but I could see them falling behind in this game and the one thing that this was one of the transactions that really stood out to me is that the Cardinals let Desmond Ritter go his his Timbers got rited and now he's unemployed and they kept Clayton in tune and not that that really means anything but everyone's so fearful about Kyler Murray running the ball stealing touchdowns he doesn't really do that anymore however right they do employ the tush push at a higher success rate than the Philadelphia Eagles they did that last year and who did they do that with Clayton ton to come in even when Murray was back they would bring him in to do that they have kept him on the roster I think in order to basically just do that they'll probably if Murry got hurt they'd probably bring Ritter back they don't want to play Clayton tune but he's excellent at the tush push so if you're on the or you're on the one I could see them bringing him in and scoring touchdowns and stealing that away from James Conor I don't think it's an I don't disagree with a lot of what you're saying there but I don't think it's enough for me to knock out James Conor where what like again we're gonna have to get down to the one I still think James Conor would even I could even see James Conor getting the first opportunity then tune getting the second or something like that or maybe they do tune on the first and he doesn't get in and then they go back to Conor like I don't think it's going to be 100% tune like it's uh it's not 100% with Jaylen Herz but I mean we're talking about 15 touchdowns and how many of them came within that tush push range uh so I think it's a factor and if you were talking about season long projections of saying okay James Conor scores seven touchdowns rushing instead of 10 like I think that's the bigger conversation but a week in a week out trying to estimate when that will and won't happen I'm not going to go that far with it all right I'll bump him up one spot to 18 I'll move him above chuba hubard wow you got me spot one whole see this is why we're not doing it this year this is this is fun for week one but like this I mean people are going to start Connor anyway you should start list I hav him ranked at I had him ranked at 19 I have him ranked at 18 now he's a start like that's what I'm saying at least in the rankings I have Aaron Jones at 20 like what do you make of Aaron Jones I find him to be one of the more confusing fantasy players I could see him being really good I have a lot of garon Jones so far I still have him in the mid- teens and it's funny because I went from being the Aaron Jones hater for my entire career to the Aaron Jones supporter because we'd actually talk about this in the offseason my biggest Factor was never Aaron Jones on a per touch basis one of the most efficient running backs there was and is in the league on a per touch basis it was that his touches were never really 300 a lot of them came in the passing game which is good for us because a lot of us play half and full point PPR to this point but it was the touchdown variance it's like oh my God he was rb5 that one year and then he was rb4 the other year but then the other years he's usually RB 11 or 12 and I just like I wasn't going to B I wasn't going to bank on that touchdown variance just like we weren't banking on chimra being the RB W by scoring double digit touchdowns on the ground every single year which is fine it's okay he can be a fringe rb1 with the Vikings they signed them I'm not like I'm not the biggest Tai Chandler fan in general I don't think there are a huge amount of people out there saying like oh Tai chanler significant threat to Aaron Jones but Aaron Jones I bring that up to say doesn't need 300 touches he can have 220 on the ground in another 50 receptions and be around 260 270 and still be where you have them which is I would actually even say you could argue a little bit higher if not we're waiting to see how bad the offense might be with Sam darnold but as a solid rb2 he's going to be the lead he's going to get receptions he's kind of a lesser version honestly of like I would say James Cook yeah and the touchdowns might be better they they could be or he might s if they end up using him as a Workhorse he might actually just suffer from Lamar Miller syndrome where he was just as good with 10 touches as he was with 20 that's the one I always bring up yeah 100% yeah so 21 to 30 I got Sideshow Raheem moard at number 21 Colonel moner Naji Harris David Montgomery DeAndre Swift Jerome Ford Tony Pard zamir white javante Williams Zack shaan and then Devin single at number 30 I found these guys basically once I got to Jerome Ford at 25 then a lot of them became very interchangeable for me I'm still worried that we don't have any confirmation that jayen is necessarily going to play as of yet do we no but um you know my concern about that I don't even care if he doesn't play because it's Arthur Smith and Cordell Patterson will just take what Jaylen Warren was going to do anyway I feel like we've really overestimated the impact of cordello Patterson especially last year with the Falcons we didn't do [ __ ] all he didn't but guess what he did do more goal line carries than bejon Robinson not Tyler alir more goal line carries than bejon Robinson that's Arthur Smith and in this preseason game no Jaylen Warren oh well maybe we get a full Workhorse Workhorse load to see what na AIS can still do nope Cordell Patterson got just as many touches as jayen Warren has I don't I am out on this entire Back Field because I think when healthy all three p Patterson included is going to be involved and it's I'm not saying that one of them can't finish Warren or Harris can't finish as an rb2 it's just I don't want to play him because you're going to just have to put n Harris Jaylen Warren when healthy in your lineup every single week because you're not going to be able it's the old Jared Cook at tight end situation you're not going to be able to predict good matchup or bad matchup whether or not it happens who's going to have the good game and it's usually going to be one or the other so NJ Harris where he is I'd push down if Warren's healthy significantly I'd push him behind even zamir white if there is no Jaylen Warren I don't move him as far but I would play Jerome Ford before him especially Jerome Ford with no Nick chub for the first four weeks okay so I'll do that right now I'll move na down to 25 behind Jerome Ford then PA's 26 so I'll go through the 31 through 40 as well I got ra Andre at number 31 Gus Edward Zach Moss Jaylen Warren not woring from Something About Mary Jake Jaylen Warren on the Steelers tajy Spears Rico dwaddle Brian Robinson Chase Brown Austin Eckler and then Zeke at 40 dvin cook is obviously in the mix right now do you think that Delvin cook has a role week one not much but I do think he has a long-term R where I don't want anything to do with this back field at all I I I still think that long-term Zeke is going to be their guy it's just it's going to be just like what happened in New England last year it's going to be miserable yeah it's going to be it's going to be so I and season long we're not talking about but season long I pushed Zeke outside the top 40 and then he was still in front of D almost at 50 and then dvin cook was down in the 50s because I think this will be a full-blown committee I mean Jerry Jones running the back like his 2020 or something I don't know what the hell he's thinking but like you have two wased running backs good job um but for that point I'm kind of looking like I see it's interesting what you said to go back to the 20s where you said 25 plus like there's a lot of you we don't know and like Zach Moss is the like are the reports that hey he's doing a lot in the passing game and Chase Brown has been struggling at times and Zach Moss gets 17 touches it's too low but is there a world where they split 50/50 you have it there uh same thing Gus Edwards how much of the workload does he get is he going to be Gus bus and scoring touchdowns as easy with the Chargers question mark this split between the Titans question mark the one where I would put higher and I don't know I was going to ask you if you're worried a little about the matchup although I don't think you are because it's the Buccaneers but Brian Robinson I feel better about than where you have him at 37 like I feel like you have warrant in your ranks I would put Brian Robinson kind of in that conversation with like Gus Edwards single Terry Stevenson m is kind of not a not a huge difference but he in my opinion name-wise deserves to be with those names so you would say Brian Robinson in after Zach Moss ahead of Jaylen Warren yeah at least three spots higher okay what about someone like gavon Williams who I do have at number 28 right now like should he be the because I have Tony Pard at 26 I really don't know what's going on between Pard and Spears like Spears could most definitely outscore I'm going to go with the veteran at the moment and not necessarily the veteran of the team but the veteran of the overall NFL career in Tony proper do you bring him in it's week one he's healthy coming off it wasn't a loss season but clearly the leg affected him far more than any of us thought going into the year last year with Dallas now he should be okay healthwise that I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt however it does seem like zamir white and javante Williams and H Devon single ter for that matter of the three guys ranked after him that should produce more volume almost guaranteed off the hot right but it's the uncertainty too and this is what happens in week one when you have everybody at your disposal uh tronte Williams if I told you he's 100% ready to roll the first week and he is the clear lead so clear lead even under Shawn Payton doesn't mean 75% of the touches but clear lead Jonathan Williams way too low but your 28 spot feels like as a complete aside to that 28's wrong like he's either going to be way too high or way too low because maybe we get out week one and they're running a full committee the interesting thing with Shawn pyton is he's building his offense he's building bone Knicks what does he do a very similar game to Drew be's back in the day you have receivers that are starting to come more into the mold of getting open over the middle of the field the big slots that type of thing and some of the pieces still don't fit 100% but the backfield seemingly does because what does Javonte Williams do that kind of gets overlooked he's really good in the passing game like I like mclin as much as the next guy especially in space and catching the ball but let's not discount Javonte Williams the receiving running back and what does this offense do especially B Knicks even before he met Shawn Payton he was throwing it at the line of the scrimmage to running backs 90% of the time I know this exaggeration but that's all B knck was known for this is one of the biggest complaints about B Knick coming out of college so if you told me javant Williams is the clear lead he's probably falling into the best of chimra workload I'm not not the best of chimra results but 12 13 touches on the ground and another five through the air and now you're talking about 18 touches with five receptions which is so few against the running backs and maybe the yards aren't 100 plus but that kind of production of volume and guaranteed work through the air deserves to be higher but we don't know for certain that that's the case for week one it could it be Williams 50% mclin 30% and estimate get some short yard work at 20% yes and I think that's why where you have them is fair at least to see how week one plays out now that we've talked this through I've made a few changes I bumped down Zack shanet from 29 to 34 behind Brian Robinson and Zach Moss Edwards that ofers and to talk it through a little bit more you mentioned Harris we talked about Pard bump those guys down actually moveir white up to 25th and javante Williams to 26 so they're right at I do think that zamir white is going to be the bcow back until he's not because maybe he's not that good in Vegas but he's playing the Chargers the Chargers have no run defense to speak of minshu's chucking on the ball like I can see him getting 20 plus touches in this game I completely agree have a lot of zamir white but I keep compar comparing him to Kenyan Drake like Kenyan Drake was good he was top 15 running back for time but we knew Kenyan Drake had his limitations part of it in the passing game I think zamir white might even have potentially more limitations in the passing game that being said it really comes down to do you like if they're playing the Chiefs i' move zamir white down because okay yeah do we really see the Raiders keeping that game in check the Chargers offense you could easily keep it in check and you mentioned if the Chargers run defense is anything like it was last year which offseason moves would suggest it's not much better than it was last year was one to just run through and zamir white can do that in the close games my only concern for zamir white is if they get behind and they start passing and all of a sudden it's Dylan L but I really don't think that Lobby is going to be that big of a thorn in his side whereas Amir white still not a volume dependent rb2 lower end he's on the Raiders limited passing game work but how many running backs are we talking that should be in line for 15 plus carries per week it's a handful and he's one of them passion Drive patience the formula for winning championships is also what keeps your ride or die alive

description if you want to go hit them up Justin Jefferson number one Tyreek Alondra Jamar CD lamb Marvin Harrison Jr Garett Wilson against San Francisco tougher matchup AJ Brown DJ Mor puka nikua the news on nkua is that he was fully able to participate in practice on Thursday he should be good to go for week one no limitations Devonte Adams at 11 olve Collins Kirk cup waddle T Higgins Debo Mike Evans and Brandon iuk obviously there are two names on this list that I have ranked as if they are just playing but they might not be playing and we should probably talk through those situations I have Jamar chase at number four he is not signed as of yet do you think that he plays in week one I do because he's still out there at practice like yes he's not practicing but he's out there with the team unlike auk and multiple reporters has said like they're very tight lipped his Camp himself doesn't talk a lot doesn't seem like there's huge beef with the team like there is with Brandon auk maybe he's positioned himself to try and get one but he's also two years out maybe he's just playing the role and the team is okay with it again Zach like it was weird it he Taylor said that like he knew he was going to practice and then said well maybe I misspoke and backtracked a little bit like that kind of feels like something he should have known but at the same time maybe it's because they're working on a deal and they're like okay it's fine while we're working on the deal you don't need to be on the field we know what you can do with Joe burrow so why even risk it if they are working on a deal maybe it happens maybe it doesn't maybe that's just me speculating let's say Chase doesn't play how high does hi go and then how high does Yash Mash go or Burton go Yoshi just call him Yoshi call you do that little sound effect oh if I if I could do it with my voice make the Yoshi sound Jake this is like I said this is year 11 of us doing this I can see myself on camera right now I'm old my voice is old I can't do the Yoshi sound effect anymore I don't know if anybody does does that even come out of a human making that noise no and by the way is he actually punching him in the back of the head do you believe that do you believe that like Mario's like hitting him in the back of the head to make his tongue stick out mean Jake I I don't spend my day on Mario Reddit like you do so I it never occurred to me you should watch The Slowdown video everybody say it's punching him in the back of the head T Higgins would go up for me one spot behind Nika I have legitimate concerns of Devonte Adams as a whole even with m m at quarterback because you got you got concerned about his whole get that man some prep H yeah get some we're talking about him on a hole Devonte Adams 175 targets last year wide receiver 18 in points per game on 175 and I quizzed meanie on this when we did serus XM today depending on when you're watching this it was today and I said who had the higher completion percentage and I said was it Gardner menu or was it the combination and I cheated a little bit but here's why a combination of oconnell and Jimmy Garoppolo because he was talking about how miserable it was for Jimmy Garoppolo they combined for a higher completion percentage actually Garoppolo was over 65 and mchi was only .1% better than Aden no Connell so I say that to say do we really think dvon is getting a 175 targets again and then if you look at this matchup you think so you think 170 plus Ian 170 is probably pushing I'll give him 150 although I would like to see what the breakdown of the completion percentage from yards know 15 to 30 downfield were from muu versus Aiden no Connell who has like limp arm okay that's a fair one I'll I'll dig through that by next week week I'll even tweet you to put that one on when I pull that up um but what it comes down to is I also don't think versus the Chargers he needs one of the eight nine 10 Target games that's all it is and like that's why I put T Higgins in front of them and if it were my rankings I might take Adams down two or three spots my biggest concern in your rankings is somebody we're not even talking about yet so let's talk about iuk because I want to come back to the other one so iuk is the tougher one because they play Monday night so we're probably you're either G it's going to be a last second thing or you're just going to know by Tuesday cuz he's going to sign then he's going to be on the field and then he's going to play but he's cost himself bucks by holding out right like it's not just like oh yeah I'm going to get paid anyone like he needs to be on the field to get paid he does and he's not even at practice which is why I bring that up about Chase actually being out there with the team and still at practice yes he's not practicing but he's there which seems to be like there's some animosity and there was an article on the athletic today talking about the path that the 49ers tried to go down and now it feels irreparable I'm I don't remember the word he used it wasn't irreparable but it was in that vein of like oh my God this this might not even work if there is no contract we might just get no I you come week one two three four like this could go on uh at least that's how it felt when you read the article it's enough for me to be concerned for auk in redraft and it's enough to be concerned in week one we'll know as you said though like if he's not practicing next Tuesday when people are watching this and he's not out there on Tuesday and Wednesday then you know he's probably not even playing in week one and if he does play in week one and not practicing Tuesday and Wednesday it's not going to be enough that I really want to risk it anyway so you would bump him down from 20 then you'd be like give me Jerry Judy pass on Brandon iuk no because now it's the upside of what he could do with three catches because there's another one I quiz me on Fifth in the year fifth in the league on receiving yards 105 targets you have to go all the way down to Justin Jefferson at 100 targets to get anybody within the top 25 of receiving yards to have those kind of numbers and I I guess that's that's auk's argument after the playoff game he was like I can't believe in to get more targets dude you're going to the Super Bowl shut the hell up but 105 I understand it he can do more than most I wouldn't go that far I would put you know who he feels like honestly the risk and the upside of what could happen on a per play basis if Brandon iuk doesn't practice till next Friday or Thursday the difference between feels about the same you cut out and the name got bleeped who was the name Mike Williams okay Mike Williams okay like you should have just left it empty and then dubbed somebody in there ridiculous yeah yes mes or Brandon iuk I know that's not even close to Yoshi okay no it's not so you tried though where would I bump Debo up to like or is he where he's goingon to be do I just bump him to like number 13 one spot behind a yeah I think deo's in the wide receiver one conversation even with iuk of course it's just going to be volatile I mean he had 30o games and he had three-point games so no iuk I am I am I going to guess that you're mad about Christian Kirk's ranking no oh okay good because it's a good ranking maybe too low that's not the one I'm mad about all H hit me hit me with it hit me with it Jake 16 soft tissue IND indust Industries injuries with Jaylen wad like he's out there in a RP and we don't know as of today now of course if you're watching this Wednesday of week one coming you might have an answer at this point so skip ahead 2 minutes or whatever it ends up being but Jaylen wz of right now there's a lot of no news this is what I said to mean I said no news in this situation is not good news like I I need to know this is somebody who's been dealing with injuries this is a soft tissue on a wide receiver and we've seen these linger we've seen these linger with quarterbacks Joe burrow I just I'm really worried about Jaylen wild in my redraft I pushed him down to 24 I would take Devonte Smith Terry McClaren a lot of others of twos before I took Wadd at this point because of the risk of this lingering or even getting worse like I compared it to you remember the one year of Julio Jones where every single week it was like oh he played three quarters oh he played a half or he didn't practice but then he played and he showed back up on the fourth like I feel like this is where we're headed with Jaylen W and that's Julio Jones not Jaylen W where we still were okay with it this is just so concerning to me okay so I'll bump him down I'm good with that if I see him practice in full on Wednesday and Thursday I'll move him back up to 16 but since we're concerned we don't know what the news is going to be I go 21 or go 21 to 30 I got mclen Pitman Rashi rice DK metf Malik neighbors Devonta Smith Keenan Allen Godwin Drake London Kelvin really and Deontay Johnson would be next so where would Wadd fall into that mix would you put him a spot after London would you put him a spot behind Devonte Smith like where are you looking so first of all I know another push back you're going to get from viewers you're going to get what the hell why do you hate Drake London that's coming for you I'm just warning you right now I feel like unless this is your first episode just call me dubious on the Falcons like [ __ ] show me something first before I have to believe you're the incredible yeah but you like their defense for years you like the matchups when you get their defense in a great match up I I like their Fantasy Defense always just yeah yeah that's why I like them again do I like them again I don't even know where I have them no I don't I don't I don't love them in week one I have them in 11 just ER in week one for Fantasy defenses but yeah well how many turnovers is Russ going to have well that's the whole thing and Fantasy Defense is so much different than real life defense that and most of it really came down to like who are streamable defenses who are cheap Draft Kings defenses that I could exploit it just no one ever wanted Atlanta's defense because everyone collectively agreed that they sucked which they did but they were pretty decent at Fantasy just with London I get I get every case for London I just need him to show me something that's not five for 51 and no touchdowns which I understand so what I will say to answer your question Jaylen WAD for me because 27 like Keenan Allen seems healthy question mark wasn't a lot of use in the preseason even while on the field kayb Williams he actually looked for ad dun more than he did Keenan so I actually still have a lot of Keenan Allen because nobody wants to draft him this year and I get the understandable risk but the usage was at least there he was out there for 100% of the drop backs in the first team offense unlike ad dun which was around 60% but that being said I think Wadd for me would stop right there at 26 I would go Devonte Smith Wadd Keenan Allen because wad still has weekly top 15 upside there is one other actually in the 23 I want to put Rashid rice higher and this is my same problem with my redraft rankings I want Rashid rice to go higher because I know what he could do with 130 targets I know what he can do any given week with the target share that he saw last year and I'm hoping he maintains that but the names in front of him I'm just like I can't put him in front of the names in front of him I mean that's where I'm at I have at number 22 like I could see bumping him above Pitman I think just McLaren's going to get so many targets that it's ridiculous in this offense mclen I mean in redraft season long like for the rest of the year I get what the problems with rice are they're going to let this situation play out legally if something happens then he's going to get suspended if nothing happens he's going to play the entire year if nothing else right now he's looking like one of the incredible steals of the draft Yeah for people that took earlier drafts because he's finally starting to come back around on that but it's because we got that news that he's not getting suspended which would' have been loved to know so in a world where W's pushed down uh auka is pushed down rice is now up to 21 even not even if you wanted to push him to 20 in one spot in front of Pitman now then he's inside the top 20 but you're not playing you're not sitting mikee Evans for him even if you got that value and that's the only reason I bring up rice too is because he might be your third or fourth wide receiver but even so the top 20 names you probably took before him it's hard to start him over those potentially but if he ended up being your fourth receiver third receiver drafted you just have to consider yourself lucky at this point that he's you could like if you had rerun the draft today he would have been drafted as your wide receiver too and you have that's how you have to move forward no of course 100% I just meant now you have that week one luxury where you don't have to force him higher 31 Deontay Johnson Steph Diggs George Pickins Amari Cooper Z flowers courland Sutton khil Shakir Mike Williams Xavier worthy and Keon Coleman at number 40 and then the rest of the top or 41 to 50 I have Josh Palmer Brian Thomas Jordan Addison tank Dell jsn Lockett DeAndre Hopkins Christian Watson Brennan cooks and Darnell money who appeared JJ and I built out a season long fantasy prop on Underdog code mail by the way if you want to get in on that or go watch that show and you can copy the entry that we played uh 375 bucks pays 7500 Jake it's great darn aloney over yardage this year what was the yardage 525 yards oh that feels like if he stays healthy that feels like a gimme I Darnell Mooney like you go you you a you're angr gave why you're like you want Drake London to do something but my argument for this entire situation this ENT ire time has been if Kirk Cousins is going to fix the situation with Drake London is he going to fix Kyle pittz well Darnell Mooney is going to have value is he not every single second wide receiver even at the third option with Kirk Cousins throwing for 4700 yards Darnell Moody I'm with you I I've hammered some darnold Moody early the other one I really like by the way to go back to the rankings because we talked about him because of the Jamar Chase situation T Higgin yardage prop is absurd the guy for 20 21 21 and 22 destroyed it and they're like oh 750 Ys yeah he he's on that is it up to 800 yet yeah it is it's 825 I think so we have hi Higgins over Darnell Mooney over uh Sam darnold over 3,400 passing yards we just need him to keep the stupid job the entire season there's two other ones anyway I've tweeted it out it's in the newsletter you can all you can go find what the entry is we played the five Banger on that I think it pays like 40 to1 45 to one something and you know at this point of the year I really like them but it all it really anytime that you play higher on these yardage toles that seem artificially low you TE Rankings + Injuries just have to hope for health pray that they stay healthy yes yeah because as you talk about every single year we always discuss if you're actually talking season long numbers the odds are always usually usually with the unders just because then you factor in Mis time exactly so anyone from Beyond the top 50 that you think that we should have a discussion about like I have Watson the of the Green Bay guys but I have all four of them I think inside the top 65 like they're all just in that range together I don't really know what to do with them hopefully we can get some clarity on that jacobe Myers I at 51 I always like jacobe Myers there was a guy who tweeted me that I'm too low on ad Donnie Mitchell like give me a break there you go that was my burner account was it good no it's Adan I by the way great and don't call him ad unless you're friends he actually he made a joke about that that only his friends call him ad but ad and I Mitchell the appeal here comes down to if we knew let's put it this way Josh DS is the number two and they didn't draft Mitchell we consider him a wide receiver four which that's all I'm campaigning for I'm not campaigning to say like Adan I Mitchell needs to be top 36 or anything because this is still going to be a limited passing game but now that DS is conceivably out for a few more weeks he's still on the knee scooter the thing with Mitchell is that he does what Downs does my concern about Mitchell when drafted is that downs and Richardson had that connection because that's the kind of receiver that Richardson was comfortable as his Escape Plan in college kind of like the Tyler locket to Russell Wilson situation but Mitchell can do it too and what I loved about the preseason now that Downs was hurt is that Mitchell was playing the slot when they're in three wide but when they dropped down to two wide receiver sets he kicked outside and stayed on the field that makes me like Mitchell again as a wide receiver for flyer the only on their interesting ones I would say further down your risk risk list is Dos I I'm higher on dobs than anybody mostly cuz they keep using him alongside Watson as a top two wide receiver with Reed and Wicks afterwards which Do's Target volume if he is going to maintain that job of course we know the Packers could throw this out the window it could be a fourman rotation and we're just frustrated but I would have DOS a little bit higher and the only other one is because the shootout potential and I know what you're going to say because I remember what you said the first time I brought him up in redraft rankings but Jameson Williams in this game is in the Mike William conversation for me for this game I can see it the I guess the difference to me is it just it's how I Envision Mike Williams and he's now expected to play week one on Monday night against the 49ers like he might only have five targets I can like I just everyone thinks it's going to be gar Wilson maybe they're right but in my head I think of what Mike Williams can do and how good he is at going up and getting contested balls in tight spaces that the way that Aaron Rogers used to use Devonte Adams in the red zone I think that's how he's going to use Mike Williams so I I'm taking a stand on that one at least for one week oh no I to be clear I am 100% with you I just went on a rant on SiriusXM today about why everybody thinks I hate Garrett Wilson and why nobody likes Mike Williams I have Garrett Wilson at 13 and redraft we're not talking about week one rankings for this 13 he's still a fringe wide receiver one if you want to complain go right ahead I'm not going to listen because Garrett Wilson for me is like Chris olve is like Amari Cooper like let's take the sample of Amari Cooper's entire career there's a lot of similarities between these three wide receivers DJ Moore before last year like DJ Moore is guaranteed to repeat the touchdowns what do all these guys have similar 12 1300 yards but they're not the touchdown guys the touchdowns are kind of that variance we talked about with C running back if you look at Cooper he has a seven and eight touchdown season but most of the time he's sliding into that four five maybe six range same with DJ Moore Chris olav to his career Garrett Wilson to his career Garrett Wilson could get to 12 to 1300 yards but we're banking on Aaron Rogers staying healthy okay fine let's say Aaron Rogers does stay healthy then what you just said why the hell don't you like Mike Williams Mike Williams when healthy maybe he only plays six games but when healthy he was a wide receiver one he was a wide receiver to at worst when healthy so if healthy if healthy Rogers and Williams I'm with you you could argue Mike Williams is too low and I'd be okay with it all right I'll bump up Jameson Williams to number 52 but I have him on that same tier with Shahed who's still a bit banged up and someone like Michael Wilson who you know they could be playing catchup against the bills the entire time oh you're not buying it to dorch land man the human dorch I think he's been extinguished no no more for you no more for me well we'll see we'll see how the season goes it's week one we we got to watch some football first before we make some really concrete decisions lot lot of lot of guess work going on right now tight end rankings for week number one Travis C as my well we say that he has dyslexia it just turns out he can't read but it's Kelsey not cly as he seems to think is number one Trey McBride number two concade three leaport Evan Ingram Kyle pittz Mark Andrews taes Hill George K me timbers Jake Ferguson Dallas Goddard jonu Smith at 12 and then Brock Bowers who is expected to play not a guarantee for Vegas at number 13 in week one then joku and Kade auton are the entire top 15 right now of course once again you can get the full rankings and the updates in the description or just by subbing to the Mayo media newsletter I mean I don't see anything wrong with these rankings I I think that everyone from one to S is pretty interchangeable to me honestly from Kelsey to Mark Andrews yeah I think if there's no iuk you throw KD back into that mix uh KD is actually the only only tight end with a th000 yards last year it's just he did it similar to auk on a low Target and reception volume so there's a little bit of risk there but no iuk pushes him into that conversation but yeah one through seven Mark Andrews finishes one Kyle Pitts finishes one Leap Porter finishes one like I I could say I think Mark Andrew should be higher but I don't even really care because of what you just said it's one giant Group of Seven really good options yeah like these guys do different things obviously where you think that McBride if everything translates and I know with Marvin Harrison being there now that might be a little bit different but you're looking for your like seven for 79 if he scores a touchdown he's tight end number one but if not he has a pretty good floor Evan Ingram's kind of like the shittier version of that he'll be like eight for 46 and probably won't score a touchdown whereas Andrews could be like six for 120 with two touchdowns but it's more likely that he'll be like three for 61 like they they're just all in that range whoever scores the touchdown is going to be the one who's number one right if you take like the yards and receptions and did like a half point or full point PBR without touchdowns they' probably again differently done but they'd probably all fall right in within each other of a point difference it's going to come down to who actually gets into the end zone so I'm okay with everything like the only one I would really argue with is like lorta over conen maybe McBride just because of the touchdown upside in that game again kind of thinking could be a shootout type of game but again I don't care that much to even spend time on it yeah CU it's not like you drafted two of these guys where you might get into a problems if you're streaming right now in a 14 Team league even a 12 team yeah 12 Team league what you said about Wadd earlier we've seen aain out there running routes potentially as a wide receiver three cuz Beckham is also on theist I just think that jonu Smith is going to be a cog in this Dolphins offense he's still hilariously athletic I've took I've taken way too many flyers on John Smith this year he's in my top five breakout tight ends because of what you just said we're looking for a three that's why I think Malik Washington is interesting in deeper leagues especially if wad or Hill actually miss time because again we talked about it just last week or the week before we've cared about Braxton beros and uh other names like that s fly in front of me what's the the other guy that take me to the river put me in the river big bass Billy Bass whereever the hell that thing did you ever have one of those the singing fish on the wall I hated those River put me in the water river cray guy I think he has I think that he has been taken to the river I don't I don't know what the hell he's doing now but John's going to be there if I walked into a restaurant and that was on the wall I'd turn around and go back no you wouldn't that would seem like the crapy because I would want to listen to it well someone has to go push it Smith no some of them are sensors that's why is every time you walk past it it goes off I'm in Virginia I hate that people consider us the South but it's we're feet above North Carolina below us we're we're essentially kind of there there's a lot of fishing nonsense going on around here and hunting and I've seen plenty of those it's like hey Farva what's that restaurant you like with all the goofy [ __ ] on the wall Shenanigans see see there you go I don't have enough flare that's oh God anyway yes Jon Smith way too many flyers on Jon Smith I'm actually I'm in the CBS League where I took Jon Smith because Ty Hill does not have tight end eligibility on CBS yeah like you could listen people will push back that in joku is too low at number 14 but just it's deshun Watson like I have Cooper too low I have Judy Judy too low I have all the Browns too low cuz J until he doesn't stink I'm operating under the impression that he stinks to use what you said about the Falcons until DeShaun Watson proves that he's anything better than bleep all then I want nothing to do with this Browns passing game so Jon who's the sleeper streamer guy for me is there anyone besides him that you would go to in week one yeah H Henry I'd say say Henry just because especially you're getting jacobe Bret that's exactly where it was going to go against the Bengals hope that you know the Patriots have to pass a lot which they conceivably should is that jacobe brassette that's the one thing we do know similar the Philip Rivers and running backs and other quarterbacks I could go down the list of loving certain things jacobe brette just Peppers his tight end that's where he's comfortable that's legitimately his safety blanket so if the mix of wide receivers of Jaylen pul de Mario Douglas and all the rest de Mario Douglas I have to to do that for you this year uh and all the rest I I think that you can see Hunter Henry being first or second in that team in Targets in week one he says is a me super de Mario yeah there you go did even better I can still do the Mario voice can't do the Yoshi voice quarterbacks once again if you are just jumping to quarterbacks use code Mayo at Underdog fantasy right now get yourself a deposit bonus of up to a th000 bucks once you do that or if you have an underdog handle go hit the QB Ranks + Injuries description enter the season long pick him League $25,000 in bonus money is available but only if you fill out the Google form that takes 8 seconds to do you might want to get your hands on that cuz it's free money so go do that right now Josh Allen number one Herz number two Stroud phony Tony Richardson number four Jaden Daniels number five Mahomes Lamar against each other opening night Kyler Murray Caleb Williams Sam darnold number 10 then I'm into Joe burrow Trevy Lawrence Tua love Goff Stafford Baker Daniel Jones Gino and then deshun Watson he still does run I actually think he's a better fantasy quarterback than he is a real life quarterback like that's going to be bet number one for me on Underdog I think for week one I'll have those com I'm doing my rankings update props for the week and injury update on either Friday nights or Saturday mornings on Mayo media network if everyone is looking so go sub to that right now but I I always like his over rushing props because he runs a whole lot since he can't pass he tends to run more now he does he does which is the upside you know he is he's Tyrod Taylor at this point oh ouch it's the $50 million Tyrod Taylor the 15 points per game locking in every single time I know what you're doing and I feel like you're just baiting me into this one that no I don't care that he's going to run one in potentially too there's no way I'm ranking Sam darnold that high oh screw that Sam darnold is having the jamus season he's going to throw 30 touchdowns and 30 picks and I'm all here okay if that's the case sign me up for that please why wouldn't he that's why I have Justin Jefferson as the number one receiver overall like it's mcaffrey Justin Jefferson for me like there's going to be one play that they run ah there's people in my face I'm gonna throw it up that way to the guy who's really good and Jefferson's good enough that he's gonna carry darnold along with him and it's a great match up Jake okay that's where I was going to go with it like [ __ ] about the Giants they [ __ ] suck no no no no I was going to say you are 100% right this is a great matchup the Giants pass defense abysmal emry texted me from camp and being like man their number two in Banks is really good but should be or their one should be a two like he should not be playing one this he's like everybody on this secondary and the safeties like is like a step down it's like the next level they're like they're missing the top level and that's how bad things were going to be on them for stopping the pass this year and I trust emry a hell of a lot uh one of I would argue the best Scout in the business but he's out there firsthand makes me concerned for the Giants defense if I still cared about them as a team but what I love in Fantasy is thumbs up my only concern was going to say at least their front is beyond worrisome but that's for Sam darnold running one in so if you're not even arguing for Sam darnold running one in and you're just arguing for Sam darnold to throw 300 yards three touchdowns and two picks or something like that which I don't even think he'll get two picks against the Giants sign me up for that I just wouldn't play him in front of Joe burrow Trevor lence Tu and love and even golf if you want to put him at 16 or 15 maybe one I no no not doing it love love Sammy scrambles this week just I knew you were I was I was looking for him as soon as I saw the list a as someone who picked up streamed and played Nick Mullins every single week to great effect last year darnold's the better EX for one week except for one week but but he was throwing like 450 yards and three touchdowns and three picks it's like that this is the Sam darnold offense what do you want to do for our dollar bet this year Sam Darnell versus who well he's got to stay the starter that's always the problem because if it ends up like 10 10 touchdowns and 30 picks he's probably gonna get benched but points per game here I'll give you points per game Sam darnold versus will you take um Trevor Lawrence yeah I would no actually I think that I don't like that oneing off that oh I said yes too quickly did I no I like I even thought about in my mind I'm like that one's too risky cuz Trevor Lawrence might just be who he is at 17 points per game K the rookie I'll take Caleb Williams the rookie over Sam darn points per game now because I like I have Caleb Williams ranked higher than him already I like Caleb Williams more give me okay J Jordan love yeah sure I'll go darnold over love for the season oh here I'll give you one more Jared G before the last three weeks of the season I get to cut it off the final three weeks of the Season no no I just gof is gonna be Goff just reeks of Kurt Cousins this year where he's probably gonna end up being like ninth in points per game but he's perpetually going to be between the eighth and 13th best quarterback every single week yeah where as darnold I can see you know some really bad weeks are coming but I do think that in good matchups you do want to play him then let's do the let's do the love darn points per game love versus darnold book it defenses you ready for this yes for number 10 my number one defense of week one is the New Orleans Saints then I have the Bengals bucks Vikings Niners Giants Bears Titans Jets Seahawks those are the top 10 then I'm into the Falcons Bills Dolphins DST Ranks Texans Steelers Browns Cowboys Chiefs Chargers Vegas at number 20 and then you can see the rest of the list later on when you subscribe to the newsletter just go click on the link for the rankings it's week one you know that yeah if there's one thing I know how to rank Jake it's defenses you do and that's how I said I kind of had a feeling you would be on it but I was looking for the Seahawks I would actually even consider the Seahawks a little bit higher I think they're great if you missed on a big defense and you want a first two week streamer get Seahawks against Denver and the Patriots out of the gate I think they're going to be really interesting and I'm not going to argue that much with the rest of your list uh the only one like that gives me hesitation and I know why if you want to explain why I know no the Buccaneers I just I'm concerned that jayen Daniels is going to just destroy them mostly because of the Buccaneers defense but I know jayen Daniels because of all rushing has the potential for turnovers turn turnovers and sacks as well like if he is not able to hit those outside Lanes like he's going to have some big plays he's going to get to the outside and make people look foolish but you have that turnover potential especially in the first game and I think that people really do underrate the step from both College to preseason to actual game time where if there's a if there's a way to pick on some of these rookies early that's where I would want to go to so they are the I mean maybe I have them over ranked at number three but they would be the streamer defense that I would be looking at it's funny because B Knicks would kind of be the way because of the pton offense where it's like Safety First that I just don't Envision a ton of turnovers from him there's too many like very simple passes to running backs or short routes like like even look at Russ last year like Russ didn't really turn the ball over all that much no and that's a fair argument I think part of it will come down to like what you're scoring if you're still using the Antiquated scoring then yeah you your argument is actually right Seahawks might be fair at 10 and even arguably too high if you've kind of changed things up and there's a limit like you get points for limiting yards three and outs stuff like that then uh you could actually most most most people are not playing with those rules it's been like a little influx I'm talking to your 10% of your population you're not talking to 10% you're talking to like 10% wow I like you guys better than Pat does everybody either way he like I'm not looking for teams trying to pitch a shut out here I'm looking for teams trying to score fantasy points and I think that's the one thing if there's any takeaway of how you should assess defenses this year not you Jake the general you in there listening watching whatever right now just try to find teams that are going to face pass attempts that have a good pressure rate they're going to face a ton of passing attempts I give a [ __ ] how many points that they give up I just want opportunities for sacks pressures turnovers and pick sixes that's where fantasy points come from 100% all right so where do you have the Cowboys you have the Cowboys low I do have the Cowboys they're going to run a lot that's the whole thing like I see both those teams running a ton like low scoring like that'll be like oh yeah they only gave up nine points like yeah they scored three fantasy points thanks they faced 38 rushing attempts that's certainly Fair um I can't because you usually asked me the question and I was looking ahead to see if like there's any like hey is there anybody you think should be on the list and no not really honestly H you know what where are they I take a fly on the Raiders I am at 20 I again I feel like the Char the Chargers are just going to run run run run run run run I don't think run that much I think they'll run a lot and I think you can run on the they will more than normally but I still think you're going to have Justin Herbert dropping back and he's still trying to find a report because of one his own Miss time with his injury is the planner FASA still bothering him and as much as I can like Josh Palmer's as sleeper there just question marks Galore where like that defense because of their front could force Justin Herbert into throwing com uncomfortable throws which lead to a pick or two that will do it on the pat Mayo experience week one rankings if you miss the AFC
