00:00 Let's get to the RB twos here.
00:07 James cook an interesting piece because there were some flashes of James cook being a really
00:11 dynamic fantasy asset and some flashes of and not getting the football enough unknown.
00:16 So he's kind of drifting here at 13, which I understand Josh Jacobs.
00:19 Look, Zamir white played so well last year.
00:22 I don't know.
00:23 Josh Jacobs is going to be back around.
00:24 I gotta be honest.
00:25 Like that could be a piece that could be on the move.
00:27 Alvin Camara at 15.
00:29 Look Camara, I think people were very pleased with what they got out of Alvin Camara and
00:33 I would be as well.
00:34 I understand New Orleans has a lot of problems.
00:36 We've talked about them at length, but he still finishes a top 10 running back in PPR.
00:40 He was RB nine.
00:41 So I think this ranking is far too low.
00:43 If I'm looking at Camara or Pacheco or Camara or Kenneth Walker, it's not even close.
00:49 Like I'm taking Alvin Camara, like especially in PPR leagues, which is basically what people
00:53 are playing most of the time nowadays.
00:55 Ramon Dre Stevenson.
00:56 Again, we just don't know what that Patriots offense is going to look like yet.
00:59 So that's going to be a work in progress.
01:00 David Montgomery, you see falling all the way to 17, which makes a lot of sense.
01:04 So despite the touchdown equity, despite the fact Montgomery is going to be around, I think
01:08 it was pretty clear that in the second half of the season, Jameer Gibbs looked like the
01:12 guy Montgomery will be there.
01:13 He'll still have a role.
01:15 He'll still cap Jameer Gibbs from being maybe a top three running back.
01:19 But Gibbs is a special talent.
01:21 Gibbs is the PPR guy.
01:22 Gibbs is the explosive back.
01:23 So Montgomery is going to have to take a step backwards.
01:25 James Conner, another year on James Conner's resume.
01:30 I don't know if that's really good for investment potential, although he did have some good
01:34 games towards the end of the season where he started to look like himself.
01:37 I just don't think it's a great investment.
01:39 They have Joe Mixon.
01:40 It's hard to really gauge Joe Mixon season because Joe Burrow wasn't around.
01:45 Continuing on here, you've got Tony Pollard slipping all the way to 20 on this early list,
01:50 which I think is fascinating.
01:52 I think that's too far.
01:53 I think that's too far down.
01:54 Derek Henry, we'll see where he lands.
01:56 We're waiting to find out about Derek Henry.
01:58 Aaron Jones, who did nothing between week one and week 16, and then all of a sudden
02:05 looked really good in the playoffs and down the stretch in the last two games.
02:09 What are we going to think out of him?
02:10 I don't know.
02:11 That's a big unknown.
02:12 Javante Williams, Tajay Spears, I think that's a guy we'll talk about more in hour two who
02:15 might have the arrow pointing upward.
02:18 And then when you're looking at the RB3 list, some interesting names here.
02:21 DeAndre Swift at 25, Najee Harris at 26, Nick Chubb at 27.
02:25 Now Chubb, obviously, it's going to be a tough sell.
02:27 We're going to have to wait and see how he comes back.
02:29 So far, reports have been good.
02:31 But again, that is a very serious knee injury.
02:33 He is a very serious dude, though.
02:34 So we'll see how he rehabs.
02:36 Najee Harris, he's a boring volume guy.
02:39 But speaking of boring guys, Arthur Smith is now the OC.
02:43 So that's just depressing.
02:45 Let's not talk about that.
02:46 Bryan Robinson, sorry, Steelers fans.
02:48 You know it's depressing.
02:49 I know it's depressing.
02:50 Let's not depress ourselves.
02:51 Bryan Robinson, Jr. at 28, Raheem Mostert at 29, Austin Echler at 30.
02:55 Again, the unknown here of where he's going to end up.
02:57 But that's more of a placeholder ranking.
02:59 Jalen Warren at 31, Samir White at 32.
03:01 He is going to fly up draft boards as soon, and rankings everywhere as soon as Josh Jacobs'
03:06 decision is made.
03:07 He looked terrific.
03:08 And then you have Khalil Herbert, Jerome Ford, Chuba Hubbard, and Devin Singletary, kind
03:11 of the early ranking guys.
03:13 Now rookies are going to change this dynamic a lot.
03:15 But as you can see, folks, just like this year, there was guys like Raheem Mostert,
03:20 guys like Kyron Williams, guys who showed up, balled out at the running back position,
03:24 just to name a few.
03:25 Devon Achan, another one of those guys.
03:27 That's just a couple guys off the top of my head.
03:29 There's going to be injuries.
03:30 There's going to be replacement value on the waiver wire.
03:32 Remember that.
03:33 And invest in wide receivers, big quarterbacks, and tight ends.
03:36 Running back can be found.
