0:00Three things made me update my rankings.
0:01One, the preseason games. Two, the injuries. And three, I actually just got to test these rankings in the highest stake arena in the world. The Flock
0:12League draft just wrapped up a couple hours ago. This is a $100,000 to first place league.
0:18That that is true. That is insane. There are weekly punishments that you have to avoid or your life's pretty much ruined.
0:26$5,000 the highest scoring team every year. I mean, we even have Jinx in the league with us this season. I mean, we already have a video out on the
0:35channel. This is the fantasy football draft order competition that we did. Um, where you can go through and you can see
0:41some people get absolutely nailed with footballs. Yes, Sal did pretty good. I'm not going to spoil anything. But, let's go ahead and let's dive into these
0:51running back rankings. And Gibbs, Bijan Robinson are going to be the first two backs. It is not a surprise to anybody.
0:57This was the 101, the 102 in the Flock League draft. This is going to be the 101 and the 102 in your fantasy draft.
1:03If you were to take Bijan Robinson over Gibbs, it would not be the craziest thing in the world. They're both running
1:09backs in their prime that play every single game, that average 21 plus points per game, and both have less competition in their backfield this seasons than
1:18they did last. Gibbs lost Montgomery, replaced with Pacheco. Robinson lost Allgeier, replaced with Brian Robinson.
1:26But, yeah, the only reason I would take Gibbs over Robinson is I would rather have a running back for the Lions than a
1:31running back for the Falcons. Now, going over to A tier, Christian McCaffrey's going to be the third running back on this list. The thing with CMC is he is
1:40an absolute beast when he plays, and he is a turd nugget when he doesn't. He had played four games in 2024 with the
1:47Achilles tendinitis. We go back to 2021, 2020, he played a total of 10 games through those two seasons. He's coming off a year in which he had 311 carries,
1:57102 receptions. So, just in the regular season, McCaffrey had over 400 touches.
2:03So, if we are talking pure injury risk for any player in round one, it's extremely difficult to ever label anybody as injury-prone. But, he's a
2:1230-year-old running back coming off a 400-plus touch season. He plays in an electrical war zone.
2:19And lastly, we have the injury history to back it up as well. So, I am a little concerned with the downside risk of McCaffrey.
2:27But, arguably, he has the higher ceiling than anybody else in the league. The efficiency did drop down this past season, though. I'd be more excited
2:35about McCaffrey in a full PPR format, and more excited about Jonathan Taylor in a non-PPR league. But, I will remind y'all, of course, that if you are
2:44playing in a non-PPR league, half-PPR league, if you start one flex spot, two flex you need to be making the adjustments based on your exact league
2:51settings. We do this for you with the custom draft sheets on flockfantasy.com.
2:56Again, we have like 70-plus custom draft sheets posted on the site. Also, real-time draft assistance for your Sleeper, your ESPN, and your Yahoo
3:04leagues as well. You're going to get weekly rest-of-season rankings for pretty much all your favorite fantasy creators you watch on the internet as
3:10is. Code Flock is also going to be getting you free starts and trade questions. You're able to ask me in the
3:15live streams. And I live stream every single day until Christmas. Links in the chat and the comment section. Now, looking at Jonathan Taylor, I absolutely
3:24love Jonathan Taylor this year. I love this man. All right. If we are looking at the profile that we had from last
3:31season, obviously, it was a tale of two cities. We can look at weeks 10 through one, and Jonathan Taylor was not only
3:39the best running back in fantasy, but he was at the front of conversations for MVP talks at the running back position.
3:47And that just simply never happens, right? And the reason for that is through the first 10 weeks, he was putting together a season that we had
3:55just never seen before. At least we hadn't seen in fantasy football in years and years and years. 27.4 fantasy points per game. He was first in
4:06the NFL in rushing attempts a game, first in uh rushing yards per game. He was averaging over six yards per carry.
4:13He was the number one running back in the league with rushing attempts inside the 5-yard line. He was a top 10 back in
4:20receiving yards, first in the NFL in total touchdowns, first in the NFL in total yards. Unbelievable. Then what happened? Oh, Daniel Jones got injured.
4:29And once Daniel Jones got injured, after that week 11 bye, he fell from 27 points per game down to 12.
4:38The bet with Taylor that I am making this year is that the Colts are going to be an A-OK offense, that I'm not going to have to
4:48worry about them being as bad as they were with 50-year-old Philip Rivers. And I think Taylor is probably halfway in between where he was at the beginning of
4:56the season, where he was the best player in fantasy, and the player that he was at the end of the year where he's a
5:01low-end RB2.
5:02Now, moving over to Breece here, this is where you can start calling your shots.
5:06This is where you can start getting your guy. Asim Janity was in the league's worst offense last year, but if you were
5:12looking at sports book data, they are currently projecting the Raiders to be the most improved offense in the league season over season. He's a three-down
5:20running back with no backfield competition. He can catch the ball, one of the best college prospects that we have seen in quite some time at RB.
5:28So, yeah. I mean, I think Asim Janity is extremely compelling.
5:32But you do have to assume Fernando Mendoza is going to elevate the overall offense, which personally, I think he'll be able to do.
5:39Now, moving over to James Cook, James Cook's already in a much better offense than Asim Janity is.
5:45However, again, it's a bet on the development that we have for Achane. In comparison to James Cook, it does seem like he has tapped out, right? Like, I
5:55don't necessarily know if we're going to be able to get the continued upwards trend of James Cook improving every single season of his NFL career as he
6:02turns 27. So, between Achane and Cook, I would bet on the younger running back that has a better receiving role because
6:10I do think the Raiders are going to improve more year-over-year than what the Bills will be able to do. Even if
6:15the Bills are the better offense, Josh Allen's still going to be vulture and rushing touchdowns. Um Amari and Hampton, very similar to the Achane bet.
6:22I am betting that one, the rookie running back going into year two gets better. And two, the Chargers take a massive leap forward. Their offensive
6:32line was by far and away the worst O line in the league last year, and it wasn't even remotely close. They get
6:38both their tackles back. They invest into the interior of the offensive line.
6:43Um Mike McDaniel coming over, I mean, frankly, projects this out to be a borderline top five to 10 offense. And he was a bell cow running back before he
6:51went down with his injury where he had 89% of the snaps and 80% of the snaps the two games before he went down. So, I
6:58think Amari and Hampton, an absolute crusher. Devon Achane is in a horrible situation, right? Devon Achane has to play with a new coaching staff, Malik
7:06Willis who's not going to check the ball down, and potentially a bottom three offense in the league. So, I'm going to
7:12expect Devon Achane to have his worst season in fantasy of all time. And he could still be a top 10 running back
7:20because he has been a borderline top five running back three straight seasons, over 20 points per game last year with 16 games played. So, I think
7:28Achane will be worse than he normally is because the situation's so bad, but if you can draft him in round two, who
7:34cares? You're getting a discount. Now, going over to Chase Brown, um Chase Brown went a little early in the Flockly draft today. I I can't give
7:42away too many spoilers or the other guys are going to kill me. That Flok League draft video is going to be dropping on
7:47Friday. You will see on the Flok League channel though us draft our draft slots just a few days from now. But regardless
7:55with Chase Brown, I understand why anybody would take him early, right? The first half of this Cincinnati Bengals season is very much cloudy because Chase
8:04Brown had to play in a garbage offense with no Joe Burrow.
8:07But if you were looking at weeks 8 through 18, right? This is when the Cincinnati Bengals are able to put it
8:14together. I mean, I actually think you had Flacco in at this point. It wasn't just Burrow himself.
8:20But regardless with Chase Brown, in those weeks 8 through 18, he was a top three running back in points per game
8:27with 21.2.
8:29And the offense has the same guys running the back, right? They got Burrow. They have not a great O-line, but it wasn't great last season. They
8:37have Ja'Marr. They have Higgins. Chase Brown still in his prime. So, a really strong selection at the one-two turn.
8:43Saquon Barkley, beginning of the second rounder for me. I drafted him in the Flok League last year and it was a
8:47disaster. Like this dude literally was getting outscored by Dallas Goedert in my lineup. I had more faith in Goedert.
8:53He had two games the entire season with 20 or more points scored.
8:58But right now, we should be banking on a Philadelphia Eagles offensive bounce back. The change with the offensive coordinator does have sports book data
9:08projecting the Eagles be a better offense this upcoming year than they were the year prior. My hesitation with Barkley though is at the end of the day,
9:16this is a running back that's 29 years old that saw the drop-off last season from 5.8 to 4.1 yards per attempt. And
9:24if the long rushing touchdowns aren't there for Barkley, he may have trouble if Jalen Hurts is getting their rushing TDs.
9:32Now moving over to Kenneth Walker.
9:34Kenneth Walker is one of the toughest players in fantasy football to rank because he averaged 11.3 fantasy points per game last season, right?
9:44Last season in a much better offense than the Kansas City Chiefs, Kenneth Walker was the running back 29
9:51in points per game, averaging 11.3.
9:56Disaster class.
9:58But, we do have to be fair to Kenneth Walker. And if he were to fall to a point where all of a sudden
10:08he's the last running back of the group that we are looking at here in the middle of the second round, I would be
10:14okay taking him. And the main reason for that is one, the contract the Chiefs give him, the depth chart the Chiefs
10:22have at the moment at running back, really does indicate that he's not going to be in that split with Zach Charbonnet, right? He is going to be a
10:29true three-down RB. And two, if we look at the statistics, once we actually had the injury to Zach Charbonnet, when you
10:38didn't have to deal with Zach Charbonnet for Kenneth Walker, during his playoff stretch, this dude had 119 rushing yards against the Niners.
10:48He had about 110 total yards against the Rams.
10:54And he had about 150 total yards against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl and was the Super Bowl MVP. So, having
11:04no Charbonnet, it's not like he's in a bad offense, it's not like this is a bad coaching staff, it's a good offense,
11:10good coaching staff, and you're going to hope that they feature him after paying him.
11:15I think he is a tier three running back up with Gentry, Cook, Hampton, Achane. I would just way rather have all these
11:22other guys that we've actually seen the production from before, or in the case of Gentry, Hampton, they're not nearly as old. And speaking of old, Derrick
11:30Henry is going to be somebody that I am fading in full PPR formats. If you're playing in a non-PPR or a half-PPR, by
11:38all means go ahead and get the big dog.
11:41Um but for me, we know that he's not going to catch the ball at all. Eight receiving yards per game last year, less
11:46than one reception per contest. Um the Ravens have to smash. Derrick Henry has to have big plays. Um last year, he had
11:541 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 with fewer than 15 fantasy points. So, I do think the floor is
12:04actually fallen down considerably. I think it just got covered in a week 17 bump where he got to play in a game that
12:12had Tyler Huntley and Malik Willis as the quarterbacks. And honestly, it wasn't even a real football game.
12:18Now, going over to C tier, these will be the running backs that I would need at the end of the second round or as we go
12:23into the third. I could see you taking Derrick Henry, Kenneth Walker, Barkley, any of these guys in the middle of round
12:29two, but Jeremiah Love would need to fall to the 2-3 turn. Now, I have been drafting Jeremiah Love all off season.
12:36I'm not going to say if I got him in the flock league or not. I don't want to spoil anything.
12:40But, the reason I've been drafting Jeremiah Love in the third round is I think he's an elite talent. I think Jeremiah Love is a more talented running
12:50back than James Cook, than Zamarian Hampton, than Chase Brown.
12:56Then, I you're going to hate to hear me.
12:58I think Jeremiah Love's better than Kenneth Walker from a talent perspective. He will never touch the career of Derrick Henry, but for where
13:04they are at now in their respective careers, I think Jeremiah Love at 21 is better than Derrick Henry at 33.
13:13Now, I've been betting on him because the talent, but the reason you can't take him early round two or the middle
13:18of round two will be the Cardinals projected to be a bottom-three offense in the league. And unlike Devon Achane, who's going to to
13:25every touch in his backfield, Love may also be in a somewhat of a committee with Allgeier.
13:30Now, I am just going to go ahead and throw Kyren Williams in ahead of Breece Hall. The reason for this is I was just sitting there watching the
13:39Flock League draft. I'm not going to say if I took Kyren or not, but where Kyren and Breece went off the
13:44board, I was looking at it closely and going, "Why the hell would we rank Breece over Kyren? If Breece is a New
13:51York Jet, the Jets project to be a bottom-three offense, the Rams project to be the number one offense in the league. Even if I think Breece Hall is
13:59the better running back between the two, the situation is just way too inspiring with the Los Angeles Rams and Kyren Williams to take Breece over." I mean,
14:09Kyren also averaged 15.5 fantasy points per game last year, where Breece was at 13. Now, Javonte Williams averaged 15.2 fantasy points per game last season. And
14:18at the same time, nothing's really changed in Dallas, right? I actually thought that this may have been a backfield that would go through and
14:24draft like Zonovan Knight in round three of the NFL draft. And if that would have happened, I probably would have been
14:30concerned. Now, since they didn't bring in any competition, he's running the back and he's in a great situation in a great spot. Josh Jacobs as the last
14:39running back in this tier. I think if all the suspension concerns went away for Jacobs, he would move to the top of
14:45C tier. He would not be in B tier for me, but he would be right ahead of Jeremiah Love. But because you have to
14:50be concerned with the off-the-field stuff, I would move him to the bottom of this tier where Javonte, Breece, and Kyren are just a little bit safer.
14:58Now, our next tier is going to be a big flat one as well. This next tier will be running backs that you are allowed to
15:03draft in rounds four and five. This is for a 12-team draft. Again, if you're in a 10-team league, use our draft sheets
15:10on the site. They should be able to help you adjust. But in a 12-team draft, Cam Akers, you're allowed to take in the
15:17fourth round.
15:19While healthy, Akers was a beast last year. He didn't start week one.
15:25Week eight, he got injured. But, if we look at weeks two through seven, this is when Cam Akers was the starting running back for the
15:34New York Giants. And also again, we are not going to be including week eight because if you look at week eight,
15:40uh he played like 10 snaps and then snapped his leg in half.
15:44He averaged 19.1 fantasy points per game. He was the RB8 during that stretch.
15:51I mean, he was sitting here with 4.7 targets per game, 16 carries. So, over 20 total attempts per game. And this
15:59offense with the new coaching staff is probably going to want to run the ball.
16:02And if we assume that Malik Nabers is good to go, then hell, the Giants offense may be better than they were
16:08last year. But, Scat obviously does have injury concerns coming off a pretty devastating injury.
16:14Now, Travis Etienne will be our next guy. With Etienne, I previously had him as a C-tier running back where you could
16:20take him in the third. And what essentially happened was they restructured the Alvin Kamara contract, gave Kamara good money to keep him in
16:27New Orleans. And this coaching staff came out and said like, "Oh yeah, we like Alvin Kamara. He's definitely going to have a role in our offense." Now, how
16:34much of that is coach speak? I mean, Alvin Kamara looked like he was complete dust to me last year. I like this
16:40coaching staff. I think that this is going to be an improved offense. But, obviously where Travis Etienne was a pretty damn good running back in fantasy
16:47last season, RB14 in points per game, I'm going to expect him to be worse as he's now a New Orleans Saint.
16:54Now, Bucky Irving at 20. Bucky has been steadily moving up this tier as the off season's gone on.
17:00The positive that you have with Bucky is one, we've seen the top-end production from him before, right? We go back to
17:06the end of 2024. I mean, we were getting some monstrous games. What I want to do is I want to look at after the breakout.
17:12He broke out in week six his rookie season. And then before his injury in week five, so let's look at weeks six
17:20onwards for his rookie season and then let's look at his second year, the first four weeks because again, that is before
17:29he went down. So, let's go with the first four weeks in 2025 and after week six in 2024. And if we look at this time
17:39period when he was healthy post breakout, he's been a top 10 running back in the fantasy. The Buccaneers are supposed to be a way better offense this
17:47year than what they've been in the past and primarily because their offensive line was decimated last season and this year they are going into everything
17:57healthy. So, it should be an improved offense. Bucky does look healthy at camp himself at the moment, but the hesitation that I would have with this
18:07is they gave Kenneth Gainwell a ridiculous amount of money. Now, moving over to DeAndre Swift, I think Swift is a very safe player. Swift has been a top
18:1524 running back every single season of his NFL career in points per game. And with DeAndre Swift, the Chicago Bears are a very good offense and they didn't
18:24add really any competition to this backfield this offseason. Doesn't mean that Kalen Ballage can't take the job, but Swift would probably be like a high
18:34floor low ceiling RB if we were to look at this. Now, Ke'Shawn Vaughn will be our next running back off. Vaughn
18:40averaged 5.9, 5.9 fantasy points per game last season.
18:46So, every other running back that we have looked at up until this point has at least averaged double digits. Vaughn did nothing as a rookie. He wasn't able
18:54to get on the field, right? He played 23% of the snaps.
18:58With that being said, Travis Etienne was there. Travis Etienne's not there this season. With the departure of Etienne, you would hope that Ke'Shawn Vaughn gets
19:06his shot at the starting job, but what could end up happening is Liam Cohen could just throw a three-man running back by committee out there. There's no
19:13guarantee he uses Tooten as a three-down player.
19:16Now, David Montgomery, probably a three-down running back. I always just get nervous though with these like 29-year-old guys changing teams. He
19:22played 37% of the snaps last year, not his fault with Dameon Pierce. But, I don't love the Texans O-line. I mean,
19:28the situation for the running backs last year in Houston was gross. I don't think Montgomery is a phenomenal receiving back. I don't think he has big play
19:35upside. And I don't love this Texans offense. So, I think he's a whatever pick. Like, I think he can be your
19:39running back two. But, if David Montgomery is your running back one, yeah, it's going to be a rough scene.
19:45Now, Kendre Miller Judkins at 24.
19:48Judkins is a more talented running back, in my opinion, than Montgomery, than Tooten, than Swift.
19:56Hell, throw Etienne in that list. Throw Scatback into that list. I bet you if I'm calling a spade a spade, I think
20:02Judkins is a better running back than Jacobs. I think Judkins is a better running back than Javonte. Hell, I think Judkins is a more talented running back
20:10than Kyren Williams.
20:12But, does he play on the Rams, the Cowboys, or the Packers? Hell to the no.
20:15He plays on the Browns. He plays on the Browns and he doesn't catch the ball, so the touchdown upside's going to be a
20:20little bit limited. The receiving usage is going to be insane. So, I have to keep him a little lower.
20:25Now, a running back that I've been moving down as we've gone through this off season is TreVeyon Henderson.
20:31Because with the Henderson stuff, every report that we were getting out of camp is no bueno.
20:36Like, I was hoping that we were going to be hearing this off season, "Henderson looks like he's ready to be the starting
20:41back. Henderson is that dude."
20:44Uh we haven't heard any We've heard the opposite. We've heard that he hasn't really improved. We have heard that Rhamondre Stevenson is the starter here.
20:50I still think that TreVeyon has an insane ceiling. I still loved him coming out of Ohio State, and he showed his
20:55great flashes in year one. I just don't know if he can get the job.
21:00Now, Tyjae Spears will be the last running back in this tier. So, with Tyjae Spears, if you were to draft him,
21:02what I think would maybe be interesting if you were to draft him, what I think would maybe be interesting is if he
21:07starts off really hot as the starting running back for the Super Bowl champs, right?
21:13Maybe halfway through the year I'd be able to going to sell high before Charbonnet comes back. I think Price is going to be the running back one all
21:19season, don't get me wrong. But I'd be a little bit worried if Sharbs comes back later in the year and Charbonnet does
21:25that turn that into a running back by committee.
21:28Now, going over to our next tier, these next running backs if you are desperate desperate desperate in this E tier, you
21:36can take them in round six.
21:39However, I would much prefer them as round seven picks if we're going to be honest.
21:45Jaylen Warren at 27's probably the starter for the Steelers, but he has a severely capped ceiling. He was the running back 19 in points per game last
21:53year and now they add Rico Dowdle.
21:56Rhamondre Stevenson, maybe the starting running back for the New England Patriots, but he has never been a consistently great option in fantasy. He
22:05has never hit 15 fantasy points per game or more and he hasn't played 17 games in a year since 2022 and that was his only season
22:15ever doing so.
22:16Tony Pollard is Tony Pollard, all right?
22:20He's playing for the Tennessee Titans who look like they may be one of the worst offenses in the league. He's going
22:26to be the starting running back, but hell, I had him in the Flock league last year and I'm going to tell you one
22:29thing.
22:30Um, I could never start him, right? I mean, yes, at the end of the season he started playing well, but he was the
22:35straight-up bell cow running back and this dude couldn't hit 10 fantasy points.
22:40Now, the Titans are supposed to be better than they were last year, but he's 29 years old and again, while the
22:46Titans are going to be better, he could still be just absolutely nothing.
22:50Now, Jonathan Brooks is one of the scariest players in fantasy this year because if he is the straight-up starting running back for the Carolina Panthers,
22:58I think he could be incredible.
22:59At the University of Texas he was a good enough running back to tear his ACL and then proceed to get drafted in the second round of the NFL
23:08draft by the Carolina Panthers.
23:10But since then he has had a total of nine carries in football since 2023.
23:20It's going to be like almost 30 months by the time Jonathan Brooks is going to get to go out there and actually have a
23:29real workload compared to the last time that he did.
23:32So that scares the hell out of me cuz if it's like, "Hey Mason, um you need to go through and record a fantasy football
23:38rankings and tier list, but I'm going to let you know um you're It's going to be your first one in 30 months." I'm going
23:44to be terrified. I'm going to go, "I don't remember how to do this."
23:47So I don't know if Brooks will be the same.
23:50RJ Harvey, our next guy 31. I think he's likely to be the starter for the Denver Broncos in some capacity. My main
23:57problem is they don't only have Harvey, but they also have Dobbins. They don't only have Harvey and Dobbins, but they also have Q Coleman. So even when JK
24:07Dobbins gets injured, Coleman's still probably going to be here in a committee with Harvey, but it's a great offensive line and Harvey, I mean he scored points
24:14his rookie season. It's not like he played great.
24:17Now going down to our next tier, I would not consider any of these running backs until round eight at the earliest. Round
24:25eight would be whatever. If you get him in round nine, that's going to be a value. Rico Dowdle has the upside to be
24:31the starting running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now with Rico Dowdle, is he a great receiving back? I mean he's not particularly that
24:39efficient, but the thing is he's averaged three targets per game over the past two years and he's been a borderline top 24 back. I think the
24:47ceiling is probably pretty low from a season-long perspective, but hell, if you could be the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers and you're able to
24:55be drafted close to the double-digit rounds, it's worth a shot. Chuba Hubbard at 33, I I thought it was crazy to flip
25:03Brooks and Hubbard in fantasy rankings.
25:05I was seeing people do it just based off of training camp hype alone, but now Chuba Hubbard has a pretty nasty lower
25:11body injury, which again, it's funny to see that Brooks is actually the healthy running back between the two. Now, Blake Corum is our next guy. With Blake Corum,
25:22if Kyren were to go down, he's straight-up league winner. Kyren Williams tears his ACL tomorrow, I would say you probably put Blake Corum right
25:30where Kyren is in these rankings. He would go in the C tier.
25:34He's not a great receiving back, but honestly, for the Los Angeles Rams offense, you don't necessarily need to be because they could score the most
25:42points in the NFL. Now, J.K. Dobbins is going to be the starting running back for the Denver Broncos for the first few
25:47weeks into the season. But that will be until J.K. Dobbins stubs his toe walking into the locker room, and he is out for
25:55the rest of the season. We know Dobbins is not going to play the entire year.
25:59Let's go through the injury history.
26:012020, he plays 15 games, bravo, he almost made it.
26:06He missed the entire 2021 season.
26:09He missed eight games of the 2022 season. He missed effectively the entire 2023 season.
26:16He only played 13 games in 2024, and he played 10 games in 2025.
26:21So, Dobbins is an absolute freaking warrior like as a human being to suffer some of the most devastating injuries a human body can have, and to be able to
26:32tape yourself up with bubble gum and duct tape, like it's incredibly impressive. But we know the wheels are going to fall off at some point, and he
26:39also doesn't catch passes, so I don't know what the true ceiling is.
26:42Now, Roschon White, I actually did move down my ranks. Roschon White was at the top of this tier, but the Larry Csonka
26:48injury for the Washington Commanders is going to make me a little more concerned about all Commanders, period.
26:55Now, Keaontay Ingram will be our next back. Um, with Keaontay Ingram, I think he does have the upside case of beating
27:01out De'Andre Swift and becoming the starting running back here. But, also at the same time, it's obviously uh, highly unlikely that that occurs.
27:10Just cuz that's possible doesn't mean it's going to happen. Then, Jordan Mason is our last running back in the F tier
27:15because Jordan Mason's probably the starting running back for the Minnesota Vikings. But, Jordan Mason's probably a very bad running back at the same time.
27:24Now, going down to G tier, this is where guys are not going to be playable unless an injury occurs in front of them. I
27:31don't think you can play Kenneth Gainwell with the healthy Rachaad White, and it seems like Rachaad White's healthy at the moment. I don't think you
27:38can play Keaontay Ingram without an injury to Rachaad White because Keaontay Ingram's not going to catch the ball.
27:45Rachaad White will.
27:47I don't think you can play Aaron Jones without an injury to Jordan Mason because the efficiency's been zapped.
27:53Like, he's about to turn 32 years old, and he averaged fewer than 10 fantasy points per game last year.
27:59I don't think you can play Chris Rodriguez without an injury to Keaontay Ingram because Rodriguez isn't going to catch the ball, and he is really just a
28:05handcuff type running back. I don't think you can play Zach Charbonnet without one, him coming back from an injury himself, and then two, something
28:13occurring to Keaontay Ingram.
28:15I would only draft Zach Charbonnet if you have an injured reserve slot. That's the only scenario in which you're allowed to take him. Now, Tyjae Spears,
28:23honestly, if you are playing in a league with no IR slot, I would move him ahead of Sharps, but very similar. He's a
28:29handcuff running back. Tyjae Spears would have to go down for you to get him inside your starting lineup, but he can
28:34catch the ball. And at the same time, Tyjae Spears coming off a pretty devastating injury. Then, Zamir White at 45, you're never going to start him
28:40unless we were to get an injury to David Montgomery. And even in that instance, we saw what that looked like last year,
28:45and he still wasn't exciting. Now, going over to Keaton Mitchell, Ahmarean Hampton goes down, he's probably the back to Allen, but he could
28:53also split with Vidal. Uh Jordan Coleman needs an injury to happen in front of him and then he needs to beat out
29:00another running back. Algeier would need an injury to occur to Jeremiah Love, but then congrats, you're the starting running back for the Arizona Cardinals.
29:07Tank Bigsby would need an injury to happen to Saquon Barkley, but at least you have more upside with that offense.
29:13And then an Isaiah Pacheco is dealing with his own injury right now, so I wouldn't be too excited to target him,
29:19but thank you for hanging out with us. I want to remind you if you want to get the flockfantasy.com season pass, it's
29:26only 34 bucks. It's going to be the easiest way for you to win your league.
29:29The link's in the description, it's in the comment section. And I just want y'all to know that these flock league videos are the best thing that I have
29:39ever been a part of. I can't believe we were able to put this together. I can't wait for y'all to watch it. I mean, if
29:45y'all have not done so already, I mean, we actually live streamed um uh the most brutal fantasy football punishment that I've ever seen somebody
29:56take in person. Danny trapped in a diner where we're spinning a wheel and making him do God knows what. Make sure you
30:03check out some of the highlights from that stream. And then also our fantasy football draft order competition is live as well. And yeah, I can't wait for this
30:12league. It's going to be the coolest thing ever. The fact that we got Jynx in the league this year just makes it
30:1710,000 times better. Unbelievable.
30:20But much love, ladies and gentlemen. I really appreciate you. I hope that you're able to draft as good of a team
30:25that I drafted, and I'll see you in the live stream later tonight.
