Player analysis
Player insights
Bijan Robinson
PositiveProjection28:46
The source ranks Robinson second, highlighting his durability and secure role. The source warns against drafting Brian Robinson Jr. as a handcuff, but remains very high on Bijan's overall outlook.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
NegativeBust0:44
The source advises fading McCaffrey, citing his age (over 30) and the belief that he is coming off a pinnacle year and will decline in a terrible offense.
Insight pageDavid Montgomery
NegativeRole31:49
The source characterizes David Montgomery as a ceiling-capper for Jahmyr Gibbs, arguing that his presence in the Detroit backfield wasted over 100 attempts that should have gone to Gibbs. The source suggests Montgomery is less talented and less hungry than Gibbs.
Insight pageDe'Von Achane
NegativeBust0:44
The source labels the Dolphins offense as terrible and suggests avoiding Achane as part of a list of players expected to decline.
Insight pageIsiah Pacheco
NegativeRole31:41
The source views Isiah Pacheco as a nuisance for fantasy owners, predicting he will steal goal-line work and occasionally frustrate managers. The source explicitly states that Pacheco is a downgrade compared to David Montgomery and lacks the elite talent level often attributed to him.
Insight pageJadarian Price
PositiveSleeper13:44
The source identifies Price as a steal in rounds four to five, noting he is catching passes in camp and has a clear path to volume with other backfield options being irrelevant or injured. The source compares his potential to a first-round NFL talent.
Insight pageJahmyr Gibbs
PositiveProjection31:36
The source ranks Jahmyr Gibbs as the RB1 overall, citing his massive contract and the expectation that he will finally be the undisputed alpha back in Detroit. The source argues that with David Montgomery no longer capping his volume, Gibbs has the potential to break rushing and receiving records, noting he finished as a top-five back last year despite Montgomery siphoning over 100 attempts.
Insight pageJames Cook
PositiveValue23:29
The source considers Cook the safest running back with upside, preferring him over CMC and Jonathan Taylor. He is the focal point of a high-octane offense with no backfield competition.
Insight pageJavonte Williams
PositiveValue16:57
The source likes Williams as a safe fourth-round pick who will receive 200-plus carries and double-digit touchdowns. The team did not add competition, and the source believes Williams is the clear starter.
Insight pageJeremiyah Love
PositiveBreakout18:36
The source is all-in on Love, citing his explosive preseason performance and status as the team's best offensive weapon. Despite minor injury concerns, the source believes he will be a top-five back.
Insight pageJonathan Taylor
NegativeBust8:34
The source warns against drafting Taylor in round one, citing a pinnacle year in 2025, expected regression, and a lack of wide receiver support leading to stacked boxes. While he has top-10 potential based on volume, the source holds zero stock.
Insight pageMike Washington Jr.
PositiveBreakout2:03
The source describes Washington as a beast and a monster with 4.3 speed who should have been a workhorse. Despite the Raiders' committee talk, the source has been high on him since April and views him as a key stash.
Insight pagePositiveBreakout33:35
The source identifies Mike Washington as a significant threat to Gentie's workload, noting that Washington is just as talented or better. The source highlights that the market is finally catching on to the 'Mike Washington train' following his preseason performance.
Insight pageOmarion Hampton
PositiveBreakout25:33
The source ranks Hampton third, dismissing committee concerns and labeling him the clear lead back for the Chargers. The source believes he is a superior talent who can run and catch better than anyone else.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
PositiveSleeper10:56
The source loves Judkins as a round-five value pick, noting the team improved their offensive line and added receiving threats to spread the defense. It is viewed as the 'Quinshon Judkins show' with no significant competition.
Insight pageSaquon Barkley
NegativeProjection6:30
The source ranks Barkley 10th, acknowledging his top-10 potential and lack of backfield competition, but notes that his ceiling is limited because he has already hit his peak. The source holds zero stock in him.

Episode Transcript
0:00Alright guys, buckle up. It's the weekend. We're talking top 10 running backs here.
0:04I know a lot of people have drafts this weekend.
0:07This episode is going to save your entire season because you've got to know which running backs you need to draft on
0:13your roster or else you're absolutely toast, okay? What a lot of other channels are advising is that you guys avoid the running back position completely earlier on.
0:21I think that's going to be the biggest mistake.
0:23I know it's going to be the biggest mistake of your draft.
0:26So I want to make sure you get the right running backs.
0:30This is a non-consensus list. If I gave you a consensus list and said, hey, draft, what everyone else is doing, you're
0:36going to lose your league because there's a lot of players, particularly guys that I think are going to decline, that I did not include in this list.
0:44Christian McCaffrey, Devin Adchain, terrible offense. Christian McCaffrey, over 30 years old, coming off a pinnacle here.
0:48There's a lot of players that are going to decline.
0:51If I gave you copy and paste rankings as everybody else, you're going to do what everyone else does, get the same
0:57result as everyone else does, and you're going to lose your league.
1:01If you guys want to win your league, this is the only channel giving you guys the truth.
1:06So make sure you guys do. Helps the channel a lot.
1:09Smash it, tap it, slap it, slap it, guys.
1:11Hit the thumbs up. Takes a second of your time.
1:14Just smash that thumbs up. I'm going to go through the top 10 players here.
1:18And listen, I'm wearing my Raiders hat here. I've been talking about a quick example here.
1:23Mike Washington. Everybody's riding his D right now. They're riding it hard, like riding it, right?
1:27All because one preseason game. But this is the thing, right?
1:30I've been telling you since April. And if you got my 16 round draft solution, you would already know that Mike Washington is an absolute beast.
1:37He's a monster. He's a 4.3 speed guy. Should have been a workhorse on his own.
1:42And the Raiders talked about running a committee prior, right?
1:45Prior to even, you know, the draft, right? If you guys follow this channel, if you turn on the bell, you'd be aware of this.
1:52If you get 16 rounds, you'd be aware of this.
1:54Everyone's riding Mike Washington. I'm like, dude, this is not new news to me, right?
1:58We're always ahead of everybody else. We're always thinking ahead.
2:01We're 10 steps ahead. We're skating to where the puck is.
2:04Now everyone's riding Mike Washington like he's the second coming of Adrian Peterson or something.
2:08I know he's good. We got him stashed. That's all we want to do.
2:12We're avoiding Gente because he's a major threat behind him.
2:15And now we saw it in the first preseason game.
2:18So that's just one example of how we're ahead of everybody.
2:21So make sure you guys do grab the 16 round draft solution.
2:24Hit the thumbs up and subscribe. Again, this is the only channel giving you guys the truth, all right?
2:30I'm adamant about making sure you guys win. Also, we draft every single night.
2:34Best ball draft. $10 buy-in. 9 o'clock Eastern. Turn on the bell for that.
2:37And if you haven't created an account on underdog, go do that right now.
2:41I've linked it below. Use code LION. LION is the code you want to do when you create that underdog account.
2:47Put down a deposit. Get to draft with me.
2:50We're doing best ball drafts, high stakes drafts, all types of drafts.
2:53This is the place to be. We play in season.
2:56We can win a lot. Make sure you guys go to underdog right now.
3:00Create the, I've actually linked it below, right? Create an underdog account, underdog fantasy, and use code LION.
3:05Sign up, put down a deposit, and just DM me or just see me at 9 o'clock.
3:09Jump on in. We're drafting every night. What's more fun than drafting, right?
3:13Listen, I'm pumped up. Grab 16 rounds, and let's get rocking here.
3:16All right, we're going to count it 10 down to one.
3:19Top 10 running backs here. And listen, I'm really pumped up.
3:22Again, this is non-consensus. We're going to start off with the 10th guy here.
3:26Now, this is how they could finish potentially. This isn't to say that these guys, you know, are based on consent.
3:32I'm not going to give you the consensus. This is how they could potentially finish in the rankings, okay?
3:37Now, mind you, Saquon get hurt. Any one of these guys gets hurt.
3:41The backup steps up, this and that, right? And there's a lot of players I left out.
3:46So just stick with me and follow the workflow if you guys are new here.
3:50All right, number 10 here is Saquon Barkley, okay?
3:53Now, I'm going to tell you where the consensus have him in comparison to this list.
3:57I got him number 10 because he has potential to finish top 10.
4:01I don't see any reason why he doesn't. He's ranked ninth on the Kinshipzis rankings.
4:05I got him at 10. I still think he finishes top 10.
4:08I still think he's very capable. There's no competition there.
4:11He can run, he can catch. He's going to get the goal line work.
4:15His only competition is Jalen Hurts. But Jalen Hurts, you know, I'm not really concerned.
4:19It's not like going to be a workhorse running back.
4:22It's going to dive into the volume there. So I got Saquon top 10.
4:26We kind of know what we're going to get out of him.
4:29The thing about Saquon is though, I think we've seen the best that Saquon can do.
4:33You know, a couple of years ago, hit his peak.
4:36I just don't see him surpassing that. So his ceiling, I feel is limited.
4:40We've seen the best at a Saquon, okay? And that's what I want to get across here.
4:45I'm looking for more young dynamic talent that could emerge and potentially break out based on talent opportunity situation, so on and so forth.
4:51We're projecting forward. I've been called the running back whisperer.
4:54I see things before they happen and I want to project that to you so you guys actually win your league.
5:00I built my brand so you guys actually win your league.
5:03Do I have any Saquon stock this year? Zero, zilch, nada, no, none.
5:07Although, like I said, I think he's safe, has top 10 potential.
5:10I personally don't have any stock, okay? Moving on to number nine here, okay?
5:14Another guy that I think we've seen the best out of.
5:17We're not going to see a better Jonathan Taylor.
5:20He's also coming off a pinnacle year. Barring any injury, assuming he just stays healthy.
5:24This guy still has potential to be a top 10.
5:27He was in our bus episode. I get it.
5:29There's easily other guys that could surpass him. Chase Brown could easily be in this list.
5:33Bashal Tootin, if things go his way. There is other running backs.
5:37Kyron Williams. There's other running backs I actually probably would prefer, but I get them later.
5:41I'm not drafting Jonathan Taylor round one. Listen, he's going to get a ton of stacked boxes, okay?
5:46They don't have a wide receiver. Josh Jones is not the solution.
5:50I do like Tyler Warren. Alec Pierce could come back and be relatively efficient, but right now, the way that it sits,
5:56he's going to be the focal point of that offense, meaning tons of stacked boxes, meaning coming off a pinnacle year and a regression.
6:02So heed my warning. He's in my top 10 list because based on volume, based on minimal committee, based on talent, this
6:09guy could easily finish in the top 10. Do I have any stock in John Taylor?
6:13Absolutely not. Zero. In round one, I'm not doing it, okay?
6:16And you got to stay to the end because you're going to be shocked at who the top five are.
6:22It's going to be pretty mind-blowing. But I'm not shocked, but maybe you guys will be, or even who's in this top 10 list completely.
6:29But Taylor, great talent, okay? I just think we've seen the best at him, but he's worthy here based on situation and
6:35everything else that he has to be here, okay?
6:37Number eight here, this is going to be a little bit of a shocker.
6:41I can't believe he's in here. People will say, I'm not saying you have to draft this guy in round two, right?
6:47Just because he's top 10 on my list here.
6:50I'm saying that this guy could finish in the top 10.
6:53Difference from ADP consensus rankings. I keep hammering that home.
6:56Quinshon Judkins is round five ADP. Why do I love this guy?
6:59Look at his stats last year. Take a look at it, man.
7:02200 plus rushing attempts. He didn't play the full season.
7:05He was dealing with some sort of domestic thing off field, allegedly, right?
7:09So he had that going in the back of his head.
7:12They had a terrible O-line. They went ahead and draft a top offensive guard, right?
7:16To improve the O-line. I think it's Spencer, Fano.
7:18I got to look. It doesn't matter. They drafted an O-line guy, top prospect.
7:22I think it was Spencer. Improving their O-line. The receiving core is doing okay.
7:26Concepcion was drafted. Denzel Boston looking good. They've got Fanon.
7:29They've got receiving options that are really just going to spread the defense back and open up things for Quinshon Judkins because
7:35they didn't have those options last year, okay? And then you see that they didn't draft anybody else.
7:40It's the Quinshon Judkins show. Dude, this guy is super talented, right?
7:43And they don't have anybody else. They got Samson there who was drafted in the fourth round last year who I'm not really concerned with, right?
7:51You can feel the energy, guys. I'm telling you guys, this is so much upside here.
7:55So if you're saying, well, Quinshon's a top 10, then when you're looking at running backs in round five, maybe grab Judkins, right?
8:01As part of your robust RB core. Now, if you're like, okay, who do I put in my robust RB core?
8:07Who do I draft? It's all laid out in 60 rounds.
8:10I'm literally handing you an ironclad roster. So it's like literally foolproof.
8:14You're going to destroy your league base, right? It's super easy, okay?
8:17So grabs Quinshon Judkins as part of a robust RB strategy.
8:20Top 10 potential here. He's really good for the reasons I stated, right?
8:24This is kind of a boomer bust pick, but I'll tell you why I like Judarian Price so much or why he
8:30can finish in the top 10, okay? We are talking about a guy who lived in the shadow at Notre Dame, in the shadow of Jeremiah Love, okay?
8:38Now he's got a chance to run wild in a committee where the other guys aren't relevant.
8:42Helani, the other guys, Wilson, not relevant. Chabernet is coming off a knee tear, which happened, I think, just, it hasn't even been a year.
8:49A huge opportunity for Judarian Price, who's also, if you're listening to Training Camp, that's why you got to subscribe, turn on the bell.
8:56I'm breaking news here, my story mode on Instagram.
8:58You guys got to be following. He's catching a lot of balls, okay?
9:02He had a little bit of soreness. I don't know which extremity he was on, which body part, but he was dealing
9:08with a little bit of soreness, and then he came back four or five days later, right back into first team offense.
9:14So, listen, if this was Kenneth Walker, Kenneth Walker would easily be coming off round two.
9:19This guy would get him in round five. This is phenomenal value.
9:22Like, take a note here. Judarian Price, round four to five, like, this is a steal, okay?
9:27You're getting a guy who's drafted in round one, and you're getting him for a deal.
9:31Now, understand, every time a running back, for most of the time anyway, is drafted in round one, they are drafted in,
9:37like, round one or two in fantasy, right? Like, you look at Clyde Edwards-Alaire a couple years ago.
9:42Like, I told you to avoid that guy. End of round one, he busted, though, right?
9:47Bad example. But the point I'm trying to make is that if they're drafted in the NFL round one, they get drafted in fantasy.
9:53Gentie, last year, first round pretty much in fantasy round two.
9:57Jeremiah Love, round two this year. This guy was drafted in the first round.
10:00I get him in the fifth round? Are you kidding me?
10:04Like, sign me. Where's my pen? Sign me up for Judarian.
10:07I'm signing right now. Ink it. You know, I'm signing up.
10:10Like, give me Judarian Price round five. That's part of my robust RB strategy, okay?
10:14Love him, all right? Number six here, moving on here.
10:17I love Javante Williams. 200-plus attempts last year. He's going to get double-digit touchdowns.
10:20They did not address the running back position in regards to drafting anybody or bringing anybody else in.
10:25Jaden Blue is not competition. It's Javante's backfield. He proved it last year.
10:29He was the definition of years to wow me, and I'm not wowed.
10:33And guess what? I'm wowed. He actually, he wowed me.
10:35I'm impressed, Javante Williams. And that's a big indicator that there's certain teams where your career goes to just perish.
10:41Like, it's not a good fit. Like, Denver destroyed his career.
10:44We see this happening with Travion Henderson, with the Patriots.
10:47We saw it with Sonny Michel in the Patriots when he was drafted years ago.
10:51First-round prospect, top running back prospect. It was hindered.
10:54His career was destroyed with the Patriots. There's certain teams that destroy running back careers.
10:58We saw Javante was revived with the Cowboys last year.
11:01So, listen, they like him. They paid him. I think three-year, $24 million plus.
11:04He's going to be the starter, and he's capable.
11:07There's no one going to come in and steal goal line work from Javante Williams.
11:11He's as safe as they come. You get him in the fourth round.
11:15Why not, right? Number five, listen, right? Let's talk about Jeremiah Love after that first preseason game, okay?
11:20What we saw is a lot of usage, okay?
11:22Now, he kind of hurt his ankle a little bit.
11:25It's nothing serious. He's fine. But the Cardinals showed a lot of trust in him.
11:29We saw Algier a little bit in that mix.
11:32Not enough that I'm concerned. They're going to use Algier to give Jeremiah Love a break, okay?
11:36Based on talent, I'm drafting him. I'm taking the risk.
11:39Like, a lot of people are off this guy, James Conner.
11:42James Conner sucks. James Conner has sucked for years.
11:45He shouldn't have even been a starter, but somehow, magically, he got the opportunity and was utilized.
11:49Like, he sucks. He was a backup to crappy Le'Veon Bell.
11:53Le'Veon Bell sucks, too. He's a product of the offense with Antonio Brown spreading the defenses back with double coverage, opening things
11:59up, giving him time to run with his patient running.
12:01And Conner was backup to him. We know Le'Veon Bell sucked because he went to, and we're going off on a tangent
12:08here, but he went to the Jets, and all the kids, she just told you, draft Le'Veon Bell round one.
12:13I'm like, don't do it. Le'Veon Bell sucks. Jets suck.
12:16Don't do it. This is years ago. Another example where the counselor was right.
12:20So what I'm saying is, Jeremiah Love is boomer busty.
12:23I get it. But you don't draft a guy third overall, make him the highest-paid running back ever, rookie running back, that is.
12:29And with his amount of talent that this guy has, he looked explosive in that first preseason game, doing flips, circles, hurtling, looking explosive, showing great vision.
12:36Understand there's going to be some cage rust, or what do you call it?
12:40I watch a lot of MMA. There's going to be a lot of ring rust.
12:45Okay, I watch a lot of WWE. You guys get the point I'm trying to say here, right?
12:50A lot of field rust, right? Well, not even that.
12:52It's just that there's a speed in the NFL, and he's got to adjust to it.
12:57It takes the time. I'm glad he's getting the jitters out, and he's going to be ready to rock.
13:02And regardless of how much they're going to work in the other running back, I don't think they're going to use him a lot.
13:09He's going to get a lot of work. They're going to utilize him.
13:12They just have to. This is their guy. This is their best offensive weapon.
13:16By the way, shout out to Marvin Harrison Jr.
13:19for getting a touchdown and looking alive out there.
13:21So I think that the Cardinals are going to do better than people expect.
13:25They've got a lot of talent. Remember, Marvin Harrison Jr., first-round pick.
13:28Jeremiah Love, first-round pick. Brissette looks pretty good. He's not the best quarterback, but he looked pretty good in preseason.
13:34Listen, that reinforced my feeling about Jeremiah Love. I'm paying the ticket price.
13:38I'm paying the price of admission for talent. That's what I'm doing.
13:41So if that's you guys, definitely top five potential here with Jeremiah Love.
13:45He could really, really be special, okay? Oh, by the way, speaking of the preseason game from a night or two ago,
13:51the Mike Washington talking we talked about, but it's like that's why I faded Gentry is because, you know, I think Mike
13:57Washington is going to be a factor. With these running backs, I don't see a factor.
14:01I don't see anyone else coming in, which leads me to four, right?
14:05I think Mike Washington, because he's big, he's going to steal the goal line work.
14:09Where you got James Cook, it's like James Cook's going to get all the work.
14:13Even the other guys we're going to talk about, they're going to get all the work.
14:18The backups are not a concern. So I think James Cook has the safest RB, you know, as a safest running back,
14:24which we'll go to number four here, safest running back with upside, right?
14:27He could run, he can catch, he could do it all.
14:31There's no competition. He's in a high octane office with a good old line.
14:34And he was last year's rushing leader. So by far, I mean, if you're looking at any running back round one, I like him better than CMC.
14:42I like him better than Jonathan Taylor. I like him better than more than ad chain.
14:46I like him better than all, pretty much everybody in round one.
14:50And here's the thing. Everyone's like, Oh, I like Gibbs and Robinson.
14:53You're not going to get Gibbs and Robinson. You have, most leagues are 12 people.
14:57It's very unlikely. You're going to get Gibbs and Robinson.
15:00Like you have a one in 12 chance. You might get them, but if you don't have the first, second or third
15:06overall pick, you have no shot at getting Gibbs and Robinson.
15:09That's when you got to look elsewhere. And, and here's the good news, right?
15:13You don't have to get Gibbs and Robinson because I can easily see the next two guys, number three and four will
15:19come off late first round, early second, easily surpassing Gibbs and Robinson this year.
15:23We're going to talk about that. Okay. James cook is one of them.
15:27The next guy I'm all in on. Okay. My high stakes league.
15:30I've got them. Let's go. Number three here is Omarian Hampton.
15:33Okay. He does it all. All right. I don't, I don't want to hear all this Mike McDaniel talk that they're going to run a committee.
15:40They're going to use all their backs. They could use their backs.
15:44Yeah. They're going to use Vidal to catch punts or something like return punts.
15:48You know, cause he'll touch the ball once or two.
15:50They're going to keep Mitchell's going to come down on third down once in a while.
15:55Right. They're going to throw the ball. Maybe they want him lining up outside.
15:59I don't know what type of offensive plan they've got going, but I will tell you this, Omar, if they want to
16:05win, which I think the chargers actually do want to win this year.
16:08Cause they didn't bring in key. Now they're focusing on their youth.
16:12Trey Harris, Ladin McConkie, Gadison. They brought in a joy coup.
16:15They, they, they drafted Omar and Hampton last year in the first, first round.
16:19This offense is ready to rock. They want to win.
16:21Herbert has got to get something going this year.
16:24This is the year. No more dicker stickers or whatever they call it.
16:28Well, no more dicking around. They want to win.
16:30And if they want to win, they got to run their best run back.
16:34Omar and Hampton. All I got to say, anyone who's saying Keaton Mitchell, you're an idiot because I'll tell you right now,
16:40go look at the Keaton Mitchell's stats. He is not a threat.
16:43He sucks. He sucks. Go, just Google Keaton Mitchell stats.
16:46And then you come tell me that you want to draft Keaton Mitchell or that Keaton Mitchell's a threat.
16:52You guys are out of your mind. I don't know what you're smoking.
16:55I'm so sick of this kid. He sucks. Keaton Mitchell.
16:58I could go out there and run faster. Not faster.
17:01He's faster than me, but I can go out there and get more receiving yards at Keaton Mitchell.
17:06Like he sucks. It's going to be the Omar and Hampton show last year.
17:10Had his ankle thing. We're past that last year.
17:12Terrible. They've improved that last year. Is done. The rookie jitters are out.
17:16It's Omar and Hampton's here and he can run and he can catch.
17:19He could do it better than anyone else in, in the NFL.
17:23Love me some Omar and Hampton. Don't sleep. All right.
17:25Number two here. This is pretty obvious. We got to go with by Jan Robinson.
17:30Yes. By is in biweekly. Ran is in man as in tan as in fan.
17:34By B-I. Jan. Bijan is in a great situation.
17:36Just got paid. Mind you, I'm not really crazy on contract hangovers because they've got paid.
17:41I like the hungry running back. Right. And the first, the other two are just not as hungry.
17:46Although they got to reciprocate the return on investment.
17:48If that makes sense. Safe, secure, durable. By Jan is going to get the, there's no, he got a downgrade with Brian Robinson jr.
17:55Coming in. Algier was better than Brian Robinson jr.
17:57And he doesn't know the system as much as, as, as Robinson.
18:01Robinson is going to just be on the field a lot.
18:04Unless he breaks up for a run for 53 yards.
18:07He needs a break. They're going to bring in the other guy, the other Robinson, which by the way, you want to
18:13make sure you don't draft Brian Robinson. If you're drafting first or second overall, don't make that mistake.
18:18All right. But listen, by Jan. I mean, you could, it just want, you could pick one or two, whichever one you guys want.
18:24Love this guy. Draft them. Right. And it goes without saying who the first, overall is I'll tell you why, but again,
18:31make sure you guys do grab the 16 round dressers.
18:33Do not draft without it. Sleepers break us. Auto players do not draft without it.
18:37And make sure you guys create an underdog counter.
18:40I've linked it below. Use code lion. Grab, grab it, create an account.
18:44Deposit 10, 15 bucks. And we could draft every night, 9 PM.
18:47All right. So grab your phone right now. Create an underdog count.
18:50Use code lion. And let's get rocking every night.
18:53We're it's draft season. We're not, we're not messing around anymore.
18:56Right. Number one is Jameer Gibbs. Highest. Our highest paid running back pretty much in the NFL.
19:01This point first overall pick tons of upside. Pacheco sucks.
19:03Pacheco is going to get some goal line work.
19:06Once a while, he's going to piss you off a couple of times.
19:09We're talking major downgrade as well. Compared to David Montgomery.
19:12I think Dave Montgomery is far hungrier, far better than Pacheco.
19:15I think Pacheco is good. I don't think he's that good though.
19:19Gibbs is going to, they don't pay this guy 70 plus million dollars to bench him.
19:23He's finally going to run free. No more Sonic and Knuckles BS.
19:26He's the alpha dog. This is his year. And they're going to let him run wild.
19:31And his ceiling is so high. And had Montgomery, I've said this, I'm going to say it again before we wrap this up.
19:37Had Montgomery not been there, he would have broke every rushing running back record known to man from receiving to rushing to touch everything.
19:44He would have broke it. Montgomery completely held this guy and capped his ceiling.
19:48Yet he still finished as a top five fantasy running back.
19:51Like with minimal attempts, a hundred plus attempts, just wasted on Montgomery, right?
19:55He's gone. Now, again, I think Pacheco is going to be a bit of a pest.
19:59I understand that, but I think Pacheco is more of a pest than Keaton Mitchell is to Omar and Hampton.
20:05I think Pacheco is more of a pest than Brian Robinson is to buy Jan.
20:09I think he's, you know, but I don't think he's much of a pest as Mike, you know, Mike Washington is as Gentie.
20:15I think that's going to be a disaster for Gentie owners.
20:18I'm telling you right now, I really, I've been saying this with Mike Washington after that preseason game.
20:23I'm seeing it. That's why Gentie is out of the top 10.
20:26He could easily fall last year, finish 11th without Mike Washington there.
20:30Now Mike Washington, who I think is just as good or even better as Gentie is there.
20:35Look out, look out Gentie owners. You guys will be in a whole heap of trouble this year with Mike Washington.
20:40I'm warning you guys. I've warned you guys since April, but I continue to say now everyone's riding the Mike Washington train.
20:47Okay. Back to Gibbs high ceiling. Love the talent.
20:49First overall, got to go with that. All right.
20:52That's all I got for you guys. Smash it, tap it, hit the thumbs up.
