0:00I would have moved Bejan Robinson down
0:01to the A tier in these rankings. If it
0:03wasn't for the hope of Michael Penn
0:06playing on Thursday, sounds like Penn is
0:08going to be good to go. If you watch the
0:10Atlanta Falcons in week two, I'm sure
0:12you no longer have eyeballs. You went
0:14blind. But Penn hopefully will give this
0:17offense some life and hopefully Bejan
0:20Robinson can compete for Jir Gibbs. If
0:23this falls apart on Thursday, then all
0:25of a sudden Jamir Gibbs is in the S tier
0:28by himself where Gibbs truly looks
0:30untouchable. Now, moving over to the A
0:33tier, I'm going to be putting Jonathan
0:35Taylor ahead of Christian McCaffrey.
0:37Jonathan Taylor single-handedly saved me
0:40for being the lowest scoring team in the
0:42Flock League this past week. Thank you
0:44JT so much for carrying my team. 27
0:47fantasy points to the first two. I will
0:49say I'm a little bit concerned about
0:51this Indianapolis Colts offense though
0:53if we have no Alec Pierce just because
0:55their weapons are going to be so bad
0:57that they can probably just have the
0:59opposing defenses stack the box against
1:01them. Now our next guy is going to be
1:03Kenneth Walker. I am officially moving
1:05Kenneth Walker ahead of Christian
1:07McCaffrey. While Christian McAffrey in
1:09week two gave you a really cool 22
1:12fantasy points, he still only played 52%
1:16of the snaps. Now, McAffrey top five
1:18running back very easily, right? I don't
1:20want to overreact to the usage that we
1:21had with McAffrey for the first two
1:23games is I think we can make a lot of
1:25excuses here. One, the first game he
1:28played on the other side of the planet.
1:31Secondly, in the week 2 matchup against
1:34the Miami Dolphins, the spread on the
1:36game was like 15 points and it was a
1:40complete blowout. So, I don't want to
1:42raise the red flags too high with
1:45Christian McCaffrey, but it is worth
1:47noting that so far through the first two
1:49weeks, the role has not been the same
1:51for McAffrey as we've seen in previous
1:53seasons. And Walker, Jonathan Taylor
1:56look like absolute beast. And another
1:59performance like what we just had from
2:01Kenneth Walker. He will be an S tier
2:03running back pretty easily. I can't
2:05believe I traded this dude away. Now,
2:07moving over to the B tier, James Cook's
2:09going to lead us off. Now, James Cook in
2:11week 2 had 74% of the snaps. In week 1,
2:14he had 72% of the snaps. He's had seven
2:17targets so far. Now, he hasn't done
2:19anything with those targets. I still
2:21believe that James Cook is a mid RB1
2:25very easily rest of the way. The
2:27problem's been Josh Allen is vulturing
2:29those rushing touchdowns, and that's
2:31probably going to be a problem you have
2:32to deal with all season. Going over to
2:35Chase Brown, I don't want to overreact
2:36here to his first two games because very
2:39similar to James Cook, he just played
2:41back-to-back games with over 70% of the
2:43snaps. As long as Joe Burrow's healthy,
2:46this offense is going to be good. Chase
2:47Brown has the role while Sam Pion gets
2:50on the field some. Chase Brown still
2:52gets the goal line usage and a ton of
2:54targets out of the back field, averaging
2:56five and a half targets per game. He's
2:57going to be just fine. Now going over to
2:59Ashton Genty. If the Raiders offense was
3:02better, he would very easily be an A
3:04tier running back for us. I'm a little
3:06bit concerned that this Raiders offense
3:09isn't that good. And while yes, the
3:11Raiders are 2 and 0, they played the
3:13Miami Dolphins and then the fraud Los
3:16Angeles Chargers. But with that being
3:18said, Genty just played 81% of the snaps
3:21and had 28 opportunities this past week
3:24and a game in which he left for a small
3:26duration to get his ankle checked out.
3:27So that snap rate would have been even
3:29higher if Mike Washington didn't have to
3:32go in there for a few plays to make sure
3:33Genty was healthy. And then Derrick
3:35Henry here at nine. Derrick Henry an
3:38absolute beast in a full BBR format. Of
3:41course he's not going to have the same
3:42receiving work that we have from any
3:44other running back that we've talked
3:45about in this video. But so far it
3:47hasn't mattered because he has scored
3:49four touchdowns and he's averaging 26
3:51and a half fantasy points per game so
3:53far this season is the running back one.
3:55And while typically with these older
3:56running backs we want to say, "Oh,
3:58okay." They may um lose some steam as
4:01the season goes on, in the case of
4:03Derrick Henry, it's literally been the
4:05opposite through his NFL career.
4:07Typically only gets better as the season
4:10progresses. Now, moving over to the
4:12seeds here, we are going to have Amari
4:13Hampton. Now, honestly, with Hampton, if
4:17we get official word on a couple things,
4:19one, Saquon Barkley being healthy, um
4:22Barkley will flip him. And then also
4:25with Achan, if the Miami Dolphins
4:27weren't just the worst team in the NFL,
4:28Achan would be ahead of him as well.
4:30Ultimately, Hampton has been really
4:32disappointing, specifically with, I
4:35guess, one, the Chargers are frauds, and
4:37two, on top of this, the receiving usage
4:40just simply hasn't been there. He has
4:42drawn a total of two targets so far this
4:45season. Yes, two targets. So, I am
4:48concerned about that with Hampton. Um
4:50but ultimately he is still seeing 20
4:53plus opportunities a game going into the
4:55future. He has the touchdown upside. He
4:57did fumble at the end of this past week,
4:58but um I think he can be a low-end RB1,
5:01high-end RB2, but he can't be the league
5:03winning running back with his Chargers
5:05offensive line not looking great and
5:08with Justin Herbert again looking
5:10mediocre at best. Now going over to the
5:13Dtier, Breeall is going to be leading us
5:14off. Now, Breeall, you have the
5:17receiving usage with 63 receiving yards
5:20this past week. Very consistent, 14
5:23points, back-to-back games at the very
5:25minimum. And now, Brilin Allen did
5:27vulture him. But the main thing that I
5:29would be excited about if you have Bree
5:31Hall is the offense looks a lot better
5:32than you expected it to coming into the
5:34season. And there is a very real chance
5:36that if the Jets continue to impress in
5:39week three that Bree Hall ends up having
5:42to flip Devon Aan in our ranks. Now,
5:44Javvante Williams did have a
5:45disappointing week, too. But with that
5:47being said, he is still getting every
5:49single touch in this Dallas Cowboys
5:51offense. He's averaging 16 fantasy
5:54points per game with only 35 rushing
5:57yards per game. So, again, I honestly
5:59don't think he is anywhere close as
6:01talented as any other running back we've
6:03talked about in this video, but the role
6:05is one of the most valuable roles in the
6:07entire NFL. Now, honestly, the Kairen
6:10Williams ranking may change a bit
6:11depending on what ends up happening in
6:13the game tonight. Um, right now, I will
6:15say for this game tonight between the
6:16Rams and Giants, Rams are heavily
6:18favored here. 74% chance to win this
6:20game. 6 and 12 point spread. Um, if we
6:23look at the fantasy points PPR player
6:26prop right now, we can see that Kairen
6:29Williams has a 45% chance to score 16 or
6:32more fantasy points. Obviously, a lot of
6:34this has to do with the Blake Cororm
6:36usage. Now, I'll be live streaming
6:38tonight updating you with what happens
6:39with Karen Williams, updating my
6:40rankings. And of course, if you wanted
6:42to check out any of these markets, the
6:44link to Poly Market US is in the
6:46description as well as the comment
6:47section. If you sign up with code flock,
6:50you are going to get $50 added to your

6:54And on top of that, Poly Market US is
6:56available in 49 out of 50 states, every
6:59state other than Nevada. Now going over
7:02to our next name with Bucky Irving. The
7:05usage looks phenomenal right for Bucky.
7:07Um Kenneth Gainwell is an afterthought.
7:10Sean Tucker is not even active for these
7:12games and Buckyy's getting what you
7:14would want in terms of the receptions.
7:17He has five and a half targets per game
7:19so far through the first two. Um the
7:21problem with this is the Tampa Bay
7:23Buccaneers offense is just straight up
7:26garbage. Now going over to Jeremiah
7:28Love. Jeremiah Love is unusable in
7:30fantasy football right now. Now, we are
7:33going to assume that the rookie expands
7:35his role as time goes on, especially
7:37knowing that he was coming into the
7:39season with the high ankle sprain. Now,
7:41I'll admit, of course, that he is going
7:44to be much lower than this in my week
7:46three rankings, in my week four
7:47rankings, in my week five rankings,
7:49because Tyler Algier is playing just as
7:51much as him right now. And this Arizona
7:53Cardinals offense is straight up booty
7:56cheeks. Now, DeAndre Swift at 18 is
8:00going to be way higher than Jeremiah
8:01Love in my week three ranks, but Swift
8:03is sharing his backfield with Kyle
8:05Manunga, right? And that Kyle Manunga
8:07usage is the reason we add DeAndre Swift
8:09as that sell high candidate after week
8:11one. And also, it's not like Swift is
8:13getting anything crazy as a receiver.
8:16Just like a baseline, three targets per
8:18game so far, but still a mustart running
8:20back of course. And then Cam Scataboo,
8:22we'll see what he ends up doing tonight.
8:24I'll update you in the live stream after
8:25the game. Um, right now if we look at
8:27his markets on Poly Market US, he has a
8:3045% chance to score 13 or more fantasy
8:34points. Now, moving over to the E tier,
8:36we are going to have David McGomery
8:38kicking us off. Now, the problem with
8:41Montgomery is the Houston Texans offense
8:44is just abysmal with no Nico Collins.
8:47Now, the hope that you have here is that
8:50David McGomery is going to be a much
8:52better option once Nico comes back.
8:55Whether that's in weeks three, four,
8:58five, we don't exactly know right now.
8:59It's trending towards week four. Um, the
9:02receiving usage isn't exactly there.
9:03Woody Marx is playing a lot, but still,
9:06I mean, McGomery balled out week one, so
9:08you have to assume that he is startable.
9:11Bashel Tudin has a pretty good workload.
9:13Now, I will say Laquent Allen's taking
9:15some stuff as a receiver, right? Which
9:16makes it difficult to say that Tuton is
9:19like a jam as a um high-end running
9:21back, too, but he is the lead back in
9:24this Jacksonville Jaguars offense. Week
9:26two was a tough matchup against the
9:28Denver Broncos, right? I still think
9:30that this Denver defense is a pretty
9:32good defense overall. Now, Chuba Hubard
9:35at 22 for the time being is an absolute
9:39monster. 19 fantasy points per game.
9:42Now, um, week one, very weird game
9:45environment against Chicago. Week two,
9:47the Carolina Panthers stopped on
9:49Atlanta, knowing that Atlanta had no
9:50quarterbacks, but the Jonathan Brooks
9:53injury and the Hubard usage already in
9:56week one just makes it where you are
9:58starting this dude every single week
10:00regardless of matchup. I may be a little
10:02bit concerned about the talent profile
10:03and maybe Jonathan Brooks takes
10:05something near the end of the season,
10:06but as it stands right now, I mean,
10:08Hubard is the freaking man. Now, Travis
10:10ETN looks unusable right now. I I have
10:13Travis CTN on my fantasy team. I did
10:16everything I could to try to sell him
10:19before week two. We had him on the sell
10:20high video. The biggest regret that I
10:23have in life is the fact that I traded
10:24for this dude before the season started.
10:27I thought Alvin Kamara was cooked
10:29chicken and then Kamara all of a sudden
10:31is back in freaking week two already
10:33taking a decent amount of work. Now, ETN
10:36did get a touchdown called back this
10:38past week, and if that touchdown would
10:40have stood, he would be outscoring
10:42Bashel Tuton so far this year. Hell,
10:44he'd be outscoring Cam Scataboo from a
10:46points per game perspective. But the
10:47usage is very concerning, and Travis ETN
10:50just looks like Booty Cheeks himself.
10:52Quinn Sean Judkins, eight and a half
10:53fantasy points per game. But I still
10:55have faith here in the talent. The
10:58problem is the Cleveland Browns offense
11:00is so bad that Judkins is averaging 27
11:02rushing yards per contest. And then
11:04going over to Jadarian Price. Um I don't
11:07have the injury updates with Price just
11:10yet. If Price is a-okay, zero hesitation
11:13with the injury stuff going into this
11:16next week. I would say that we probably
11:19move Price I want to say we definitely
11:21move Price near the top of this tier.
11:23I'd way rather have him over ETN and
11:25Judkins. Now moving over to the F tier,
11:28we are going to be led off with Trevian
11:30Henderson. Um, Henderson we had as that
11:32bill low candidate blah blah blah. Y'all
11:34already stand it. I still stand by. I
11:36think he has the upside overre. I want
11:39to see him in the backfield. He's more
11:41exciting of a player. But he didn't draw
11:45a target this past week. He is very
11:47inconsistent and no matter what I
11:50desire, the fact of the matter is I
11:53think he'll expand his role as time goes
11:54on, but Remadre is still going to be
11:56getting work. Now Jaylen Borin as our
11:58next name. The problem with Warren is he
12:01plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers who
12:03look like one of the worst offenses in
12:04the league this past week. So I don't
12:07want to be super excited about Jaylen
12:09Warren. I again I don't think I would
12:11want to start him and I don't think he's
12:13the same talent level that you have from
12:15Judkins. And then with Raadre Stevenson
12:18specifically, I really only think that
12:20you can start Raadre at this point if
12:23Trevian goes down or something happens
12:25to get Trevian Henderson benched, which
12:28very much is a possibility. I mean, we
12:29saw Trevon Henderson get benched in the
12:32NFL playoffs, so it could still happen.
12:35Now, going over to our Gtier, we are
12:36going to have Josh Jacobs continuously
12:38moving up these rankings. Now, a problem
12:40that we have with Jacobs here though is
12:43even when we get him back, which at this
12:46point may be in weeks five, six, seven,
12:49sometimes around there, um the offensive
12:51line looks so bad that I don't want to
12:54go out there and move Josh Jacobs to a
12:57range in which he is just a set it and
12:59forget it, lowend RB1, high-end RB2. Um,
13:02I think it will be a little bit tougher
13:04to rank him that highly because this
13:06Packers offensive line is garbage and
13:08you obviously don't have him for the
13:10time being either. So, we have a slight
13:13discount here with Josh Jacobs. Now,
13:17moving over to our next name, we are
13:19going to have Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones
13:22with no Jordan Mason very much looks
13:24startable. The frustrating thing that
13:26you have with Aaron Jones is he has one
13:28target so far through the first two
13:30weeks this year, which if anything is a
13:33little weird because I would have
13:35assumed that that kind of would have
13:37been Aaron Jones's role in this offense.
13:39I'd have assumed that he would have been
13:40the better receiving back. Jordan Mason
13:42being the better first and second down
13:43back, but yeah, I mean, he was pretty
13:45much the only running back to see a
13:47touch this past week when he was in the
13:48game when he was healthy. So, I still
13:50think you can rely on him for sure. Then
13:54going over to Rico Dattle. Um, this is a
13:57garbage garbage offense and he looks
13:59like he is just a handcuff. Honestly, at
14:01this point, I'm gonna tweak some of
14:03these rankings in the E tier one. I
14:05think I honestly probably should move
14:07the Travis ETN Judkins range down to the
14:10Trevian Henderson range as I don't think
14:13ETN's comparable to like David McGomery
14:15at the moment. I think we should
14:16probably also move Rico Dattle down
14:19these rankings as well, just because
14:21this is such a bad offense here for the
14:24Pittsburgh Steelers. So, let me go ahead
14:26and update this right now for y'all. All
14:28right, there we go. Because I think I
14:30would way rather have Kyle Manungai, way
14:32rather have Blake Cororum over Rico
14:34Dattle at this point. I have way more
14:36faith in their respective offenses. And
14:38the reality of the situation is I
14:41wouldn't want to start any of these guys
14:43unless we were to get an injury to the
14:45player in front of them. Again, DeAndre
14:47Swift goes down. I think Kyle Manungai
14:49can be a league winner. Kron Williams
14:50goes down. I think Blake Cororm can be a
14:52league winner. I don't know if I can say
14:53the same thing about Rico Dattle if
14:55Jaylen Warren were to get injured. And
14:57then R.J. Harvey will be down here at
14:5834. Um, a very interesting week for
15:00Harvey. He gets injured himself in
15:02practice. He ends up missing Sunday. So,
15:03you'd think he would fall down these
15:04rankings dramatically. And then JK
15:06Dobbins also gets injured in this game.
15:09Now, it sounds like Dobbins may end up
15:12um being fine. I'm going to have Jakory
15:15Crosky Merit at 35. So, with JCM, couple
15:17problems. One, this is one of the worst
15:19offensive lines in the league. Two, this
15:21is going to be some of the worst
15:22quarterback play in the league with
15:23Mariota. And three, Jaory Crossit's not
15:26going to catch the ball out of the
15:27backfield. So, while technically, yeah,
15:28he's the starting running back. While
15:30technically, yeah, you can look at him
15:32as a desperation start, I'd never want
15:34to get him in. Um, Tony Pard is our next
15:37guy. Tony Pard's averaging six fantasy
15:38points per game and he's on the
15:39Tennessee Titans. Zero interest. Marshon
15:42Lloyd had a chance to be the starting
15:44running back year for the Packers. He
15:45averaged six running
15:48he averaged six fantasy points per game.
15:51So again, these are like the technical
15:53starters for their offenses, but um you
15:56can't get them in your lineup. Uh JK
15:58Dobbins is the literal worst. Honestly,
16:00at this point, would I be crazy to rank
16:04Jonah Coleman straight up over JK
16:07Dobbins? Kenneth Gainwell just a
16:09handcuff averaging 12 rushing yards a
16:12game right now. If Bucky were to go
16:14down, I think Gainwell is exciting.
16:16Rashad White is technically outscoring
16:18Jaka Crossit. Rashad White played 52% of
16:21the snaps this past week and he had a
16:23ton of usage as a receiver. Um, but at
16:26the same time, it was a blowout game
16:28against the Dallas Cowboys. I don't
16:29necessarily know how predictive that is
16:31going to be of the running back usage
16:32into the future. But again, all of H
16:34tier guys that are benchworthy, but you
16:37can't ever consider starting them. I
16:39would say the same thing with the high
16:41tier guys. These are your handcuffs that
16:44are benchworthy, but you could never
16:46consider starting Black. Alier, Mason,
16:49Coleman, Johnson, Brooks, Rodriguez. I
16:52will say Jonah Coleman is interesting if
16:55JK Dobbins misses. But for the time
16:58being, what we are hearing right now
17:00coming out of Denver is that JK Dobbins
17:04is good to go and if Dobbins is good to
17:06go this next week and RJ Harvey's back
17:09and healthy, it's just going to be a
17:11nasty threeman running back by committee
17:13or I wouldn't be super excited about
17:15anybody. So these H and I tier running
17:18backs, you can kind of rearrange in
17:19whatever order that you want. They're
17:21all disgusting and I wouldn't want to
17:23start any of them. But I think that's
17:24all I got for y'all. Again, I really
17:26appreciate you. And of course, if you
17:27wanted to check out the markets for
17:29tonight's game or any of these markets,
