AJ Barner

NegativeValue43:03

AJ Barner is currently ranked behind Terrence Ferguson in JJ Zachariason's tight end rankings.

Insight page

Austin Ekeler

NegativeRole27:58

JJ Zachariason projects Austin Ekeler could occupy a role similar to his 2024 usage alongside Brian Robinson Jr., though he notes uncertainty regarding whether Ekeler will dominate the passing game work as some training camp reports suggest.

Insight page

Blake Corum

NegativeRole29:48

JJ Zachariason views Jonathan Brooks as having more takeover ability than Blake Corum. Additionally, Corum's slow rookie start was attributed to his recovery from a college knee injury.

Insight page

Brenton Strange

NegativeValue43:02

Brenton Strange is currently ranked behind Terrence Ferguson in JJ Zachariason's tight end rankings.

Insight page

Brian Robinson

PositiveUsage20:06

JJ Zachariason is bullish on Brian Robinson Jr., ranking him as RB34 and expecting him to lead the Commanders' backfield in total touches. Robinson has seen his ADP rise from RB40 to RB37 in August, with reports indicating he is the team's RB1 and has improved his pass-blocking to secure passing-down snaps.

Insight page

Brock Purdy

PositiveUsage0:54

JJ Zachariason highlights that Brock Purdy has publicly praised Stribbling's intelligence, route running, and strong hands, reinforcing the team's confidence in the rookie. Zachariason also notes that the 49ers' passing game production remains consistent regardless of the specific personnel on the field, citing the partnership between Kyle Shanahan and his quarterbacks.

Insight page

Chase Brown

NegativeInjury5:24

JJ Zachariason uses Chase Brown as a baseline for low injury risk, describing him as a 'zero out of 10' on the injury-prone scale.

Insight page

Chigoziem Okonkwo

PositiveRole42:59

JJ Zachariason expects Chigoziem Okonkwo to play a near full-time role, noting he is ranked ahead of depth options like Hunter Henry, Brenton Strange, and AJ Barner, as well as Terrence Ferguson.

Insight page

Chris Brooks

NegativeUsage30:32

Chris Brooks is competing for situational work, having out-snapped MarShawn Lloyd 4-2 on third and fourth downs during preseason week two, while also handling the team's only two pass-blocking snaps.

Insight page

Christian Kirk

NegativeDepth Chart5:42

JJ Zachariason questions if Ricky Pearsall is truly ahead of established veterans like Christian Kirk, Deebo Samuel, and Demarcus Robinson on the depth chart.

Insight page

Christian McCaffrey

NegativeInjury4:38

JJ Zachariason acknowledges Christian McCaffrey carries injury risk, specifically noting recent tightness, but rejects the idea that he is a '10 out of 10' on the injury-prone scale compared to other players, using Chase Brown as a 'zero out of 10' baseline for comparison.

Insight page

Chuba Hubbard

NegativeRole9:11

Chuba Hubbard is currently week-to-week with a hamstring injury, though he is expected to be ready for Week 1. JJ Zachariason ranks him as his RB36, noting that while he is unexciting to draft, he provides reliable volume and is likely to remain the starter over Jonathan Brooks. Zachariason compares his fantasy profile to Courtland Sutton.

Insight page

Colby Parkinson

NegativeDepth Chart41:47

Colby Parkinson is part of the Rams' tight end committee and saw significant snaps last season while Tyler Higbee was injured. He has been sitting out during the preseason alongside Higbee and Davis Allen, while day-two draft pick Max Klare has been active, potentially complicating the committee usage.

Insight page

Courtland Sutton

NegativeValue28:19

JJ Zachariason uses Courtland Sutton as a benchmark for unexciting but volume-heavy fantasy assets, noting that while the points are expected to be there, the player profile is difficult to draft with confidence.

Insight page

Dallas Goedert

PositiveValue73:32

JJ Zachariason recommends drafting Dallas Goedert as a reliable, higher-floor tight end option for managers who miss out on the top-tier players at the position.

Insight page

Davis Allen

NegativeDepth Chart41:47

Davis Allen is part of the Rams' tight end depth chart but has been dealing with an injury during the preseason. He is competing for snaps in a committee that includes Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, and rookie Max Klare.

Insight page

Deebo Samuel

NegativeDepth Chart5:42

JJ Zachariason questions if Ricky Pearsall is ahead of Deebo Samuel on the depth chart, noting reports that Jordan Watkins has been working ahead of Samuel in practice.

Insight page

Demarcus Robinson

NegativeDepth Chart5:42

JJ Zachariason uses Demarcus Robinson as a veteran benchmark to challenge the assumption that rookie Ricky Pearsall has already surpassed established receivers on the depth chart.

Insight page

DK Metcalf

PositiveValue6:51

JJ Zachariason ranks DK Metcalf as a boom-or-bust WR3 with upside for more, placing him ahead of Ricky Pearsall in his current rankings.

Insight page

George Kittle

NegativeInjury4:38

JJ Zachariason notes George Kittle's injury history, including his recovery from an Achilles injury, and suggests he carries more injury risk than the average player.

Insight page

Hunter Henry

NegativeValue43:01

Hunter Henry is currently ranked behind Terrence Ferguson in JJ Zachariason's tight end rankings.

Insight page

Jake Ferguson

PositiveValue73:32

JJ Zachariason highlights Jake Ferguson as a boring-but-reliable, higher-floor tight end target for fantasy drafts.

Insight page

James Conner

NegativeDepth Chart31:49

JJ Zachariason suggests that if Josh Jacobs were to miss significant time, the Packers might prioritize signing a veteran free agent like James Conner over relying on their current depth of MarShawn Lloyd and Chris Brooks.

Insight page

Jonathon Brooks

NegativeValue8:59

JJ Zachariason advises against drafting Jonathan Brooks at his current round 5-6 ADP. While Brooks's ADP rose from RB34 to RB29 due to health updates and Chuba Hubbard's hamstring injury, Zachariason argues the price is too steep for a player who is currently the clear RB2. He notes that Brooks's preseason performance has been underwhelming (8 carries for 23 yards, 1 TD) and questions his takeover ability behind a poor offensive line, suggesting late-round alternatives like Kenneth Gainwell or Jordan Mason offer better value.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

NegativeInjury28:37

Josh Jacobs has dealt with a groin injury and potential legal issues during training camp, which has increased the fantasy relevance of his backup, MarShawn Lloyd. JJ Zachariason assumes Jacobs will not be suspended.

Insight page

Juwan Johnson

PositiveRole43:00

JJ Zachariason projects Juwan Johnson to maintain a full-time role in the Saints' offense, ranking him ahead of Terrence Ferguson.

Insight page

Kareem Hunt

NegativeDepth Chart32:06

JJ Zachariason views Kareem Hunt as a veteran free agent who would likely displace current handcuff front-runners if signed by a team like the Packers.

Insight page

Kenneth Gainwell

NegativeValue25:14

JJ Zachariason suggests that Kenneth Gainwell is a comparable late-round value to Jonathan Brooks, questioning why fantasy managers would pay a round 5-6 price for Brooks when similar production can be found much later.

Insight page

MarShawn Lloyd

NegativeValue28:22

MarShawn Lloyd has seen his ADP rise from RB58 (pick 195) to RB50 (pick 152) due to improved health and training camp participation. JJ Zachariason remains high on him as a late-round target, ranking him alongside Tyjae Spears and Woody Marks, despite the risk of veteran free agent signings.

Insight page

Max Klare

NegativeDepth Chart41:48

Max Klare is a day-two draft pick for the Rams who has been active during the preseason. His involvement may complicate the tight end committee usage alongside veterans Tyler Higbee, Colby Parkinson, and Davis Allen.

Insight page

Mike Evans

NegativeInjury4:38

JJ Zachariason highlights that Mike Evans has a concerning injury track record, noting he seems to leave every other practice with a new issue.

Insight page

Ricky Pearsall

NegativeInjury0:40

JJ Zachariason notes that Pearsall's season-ending knee injury is a primary factor in the increased ADP of teammate Stribbling. Zachariason ranks Pearsall behind Marvin Harrison Jr., giving Harrison the benefit of the doubt due to his performance alongside Michael Wilson last year.

Insight page

Terrance Ferguson

PositiveBreakout38:23

JJ Zachariason identifies Terrence Ferguson as a priority late-round tight end target with top-10 weekly upside if he secures a 75%+ route rate. Ferguson led all tight ends with 21 yards per catch last season, though efficiency regression is expected with a larger role. He is currently ranked as TE18, ahead of Hunter Henry, Brenton Strange, and AJ Barner, but behind Chigoziem Okonkwo and Juwan Johnson. He is described as the 'anti-Tyler Warren' in player profile and notably kept first-round pick Kenan Sadique on the bench.

Insight page

Trevor Etienne

NegativeDepth Chart17:13

JJ Zachariason notes that Trevor Etienne is not a factor in the Panthers' backfield competition, with Jonathan Brooks consistently outperforming him in first-team usage throughout the preseason.

Insight page

Trey Benson

NegativeDepth Chart31:49

JJ Zachariason identifies Trey Benson as a potential free agent target for the Packers to bolster their running back depth following his release.

Insight page

Tyjae Spears

NegativeProjection37:07

Tyjae Spears is used as a benchmark for MarShawn Lloyd's current fantasy ranking.

Insight page

Tyler Higbee

PositiveUsage39:30

Tyler Higbee is seeing rising ADP (TE20, pick 161 as of August 24th) alongside positive training camp reports. He is being utilized all over the formation and is a candidate for an every-week role, though he is currently part of a Rams tight end committee that includes Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen, both of whom have been sidelined during the preseason. Higbee missed significant time last season due to injury.

Insight page

Woody Marks

NegativeProjection37:10

Woody Marks is used as a benchmark for MarShawn Lloyd's current fantasy ranking.

Episode Transcript

0:00What's up everybody? Today I'm going through five of the biggest ADP movers in the month of August. Five players who again started off as much more lower,
0:08middle round, even late round targets, but whether it was coach speak preseason performance injuries. For one reason or another, they have been skyrocketing up
0:16the ranks. And today we're going to be trying to figure out whether that was warranted or if we should be fading the
0:21new found public trust. So with that, let's get after it with 49ers rookie wide receiver stribbling. started off guys on August one as the wide receiver
0:3061 pick 148 over underdog fantasy but by August 24th wide receiver 51 pick 114 certainly on the rise but for good
0:40reason. Okay, this was a perfect storm of rookie parasol having the season ending knee injury. Great training camp reports from seemingly everyone they
0:47asked about dribbling in the first place and then also just an objectively awesome preseason from Stribbling himself. So recently we did have the
0:54quote from Brock Perie after the 49ers second preseason game just again hyping him up kind of repeating the same stuff we've heard from Trent Williams, Kyle
1:02Shanahan and everyone else. He's a smart kid. He's come in, learned our offense.
1:06He's got strong hands, great route runner, all the things. The reasons why we drafted him. He's showing it and proving it. And yeah, he seriously is
1:14showing it. Caught 11 of 13 targets for 109 yards on only 22 preseason routes.
1:20That's the craziest part here, guys.
1:22We're talking about pretty much one half of football and the man's already gone for 11 catches and 109 yards about to
1:28put up a Brandon Marshall freaking statline and catch 22 or 23 passes or whatever it was in one single football game. So yeah, he did drop the likely 33
1:38yard touchdown. Absolute dot from M.
1:40Jones by the way on that one. But even that play, it almost kind of gave us another answer to the question. Can he
1:46win downfield? Real nice stutterepcept double move to get that separation in the first place. So, not trying to glaze the man too hard here. All right. I do
1:53think it's a little bit annoying when we say, "Well, yeah, I mean, dropped the touchdown, but that's actually a good thing because the separation, I
1:59understand. But, man, pretty much a lights out preseason from a guy who again was good enough to be picked at the top of round two in the first place.
2:08Why this rise in the ADP streets would make sense, we've seen Kyle Shanahan consistently make more with less in his passing games, okay? And this honestly
2:19was what got me most willing to not spoil everything, but most willing to kind of buy into some of this hype
2:25because man, 2020, we had the COVID Thursday night game where pretty much the entire wide receivers uh wide receiver room in San Francisco was ruled
2:33out. What happened? Richie James, nine catches, 184 yards, a touchdown. We had the original Jawan Jennings breakout game, 175 yards and three touchdowns.
2:43And again, Jennings, good wide receiver.
2:45We've determined that over the years, okay, when he was asked to step in to a bigger voluminous role, he did good
2:52things with it, but that's kind of the point. It wasn't like Jawan Jennings was flashing this tantalizing receiving ability and 49ers fans were crying for
3:00more Juan. Yeah, third and one was cool.
3:02Obviously had the touchdown pass in the Super Bowl and everything. He did okay here and there, but the second that we
3:07had Ayuk go down in 2024 and Debo was playing injured, we weren't maybe getting the same thing out of the rest
3:12of the wide receivers. Jawan was able to seamlessly pick up as we saw with Kendrick Bourne last season.
3:18Back-to-back games with 142 yards, guys.
3:21Even in the wild card when they had over the Eagles, Demarcus Robinson of all people, six catches, 111 yards, and a
3:27touchdown in his own right. So that's five pretty freaking massive games from wide receivers that again really just respectfully had no business doing that.
3:37But because of Kyle Shanahan, Brock Perie, M. Jones for the Kendrick Bourne games, we were still able to get big-time production. So if there was a
3:45system in the NFL that we should expect to be able to prop up lesser talented players, it's this one. And who's to
3:51even say Stribbling's a lesser talented player in the first place? But truly, that would be kind of the last point about why this move makes sense. Brock
3:58Pury number one in the Super Bowl era in yards per attempt and passer rating. Do I think he is the best quarterback the
4:05last 60 years? No. And I'm not going to slander him either and call him assistant quarterback. That dude moves way too well, you know, out of
4:12structure, off script, one that keeps the play extended to be slandered like that. But man, Kyle Shanahan, Brock Pury, and even for a stretch from M.
4:19Jones, we've seen this partnership lead to all kinds of results pretty much regardless of who has been out there catching the ball. Why this rise in the
4:26rank maybe doesn't make sense.
4:28Stribbling still does profile as a number four pass game option pretty definitively when everyone's healthy. Christian McAffrey, Mike Evans,
4:38George KD on Stribbling.
4:41I think an objective person would say in week one we should expect CMC Evans and KD to get more targets. Now, all three
4:49of those guys haven't exactly had the cleanest injury track records over the years. All three of those guys 30 plus years old by week one in KD and Evans
4:59case even older than that. KD's come back from the Achilles injury. Allegedly the not so bad Achilles version. CMC had the tightness allegedly something that
5:08they plan to take off. Definitely, you know, could have mentioned that while he was missing time, but whatever. Mike Evans seemly leaving every other
5:15practice with a new issue. So I reject the idea that Christian McCaffrey is a 10 out of 10 injury prone. And what's a
5:24decent example? Like Chase Brown's a zero out of 10. Okay, I do accept that CMC is more injuryprone, more at risk of
5:31injury than someone like Chase Brown and generally running backs. It's just not this 10 out of 10 or zero out of 10 sort
5:37of binary proposition. And I think similar sentiment is true for Mike Evans and George KD.
5:42Are we absolutely positive dribbling is ahead of guys like Debo Samuel, Christian Kirk, and Demarcus Robinson?
5:48Not a 100 percent, but I'd be pretty pretty damn shocked at this point if that's the case. Even got some word out
5:54of 49ers practice on Sunday saying Jaylen Watkins working ahead of DVO Samuel now with the way that they're kind of doing things. So, Jordan
6:03Watkins, excuse me. I'll get my push-ups in, watch the film, and get better.
6:07Christian Curry's been banged up. Dro, good player.
6:12Ravens fans know, Chiefs fans know. This dude's been on a lot of teams. that double move. Even Rams fans, man, he had
6:17like seven touchdowns that one year.
6:19Double move. And he's got this quick out. It's not even a blaze out. It's like a one step out the goal line. He
6:24scored like four touchdowns on it in 2024. Couldn't believe my freaking eyes, people. Stribbling is the number four pass game option, but
6:33every single person ahead of him, I think we can agree. Sure seems like they carry a little bit more injury risk than
6:40your average running back, wide receiver, and tight end. So, it takes me to my verdict. I am buying Don Stribbling as a borderline wide receiver
6:46three. Okay, I have moved him up to wide receiver 38 in my rankings. That is behind Marvin Harrison Jr., Brian Thomas
6:52Jr., Quinton Johnson, DK Metaf, Jaden Reed, and Chris Goblin. It is ahead of Stefon Diggs, Josh DS, Jordan Addison, Michael Wilson, and also Matthew Golden.
7:01Round seven, eight pick sounds about right for me. I'm sure some people are going to be chasing him up even higher.
7:07And I will say the guys I have him behind still, if you wanted to say you're not scared of them, I don't
7:14really blame you. I'm giving Marv the benefit of the doubt because when he was in Arizona last year on the field with
7:20Michael Wilson, we did see good things.
7:21He unfortunately get to benefit from the improved quarterback play with Jakobi Brassette under center, thirdyear player. I still do truly in my heart of
7:28hearts believe there is a talented wide receiver somewhere in that 6'4 220 lb musclebound frame as we see every
7:36offseason. BTJ 1,200 yards as a rookie that happened was absolutely lights out down the stretch of the season, right? I
7:47understand last year had a little bit of yeps going. It's a little bit of a crowd on offense, but man, that still matters
7:52to me.
7:54DK Mechaf Pitman's in town. It's still Meetaf, man. Boomer bust wide receiver three with upside for even higher as we've seen. He's famous low end wide receiver
8:04too last year. So do Quinton Johnson.
8:06Jaden Reed's the man in an offense that we also love. Chris Godwin first name out of Baker Mayfield's mouth by the
8:12way. Chris Godwin when talking about the wide receivers allegedly looks better.
8:15So I'm going dribbling borderline wide receiver three. For me, it's just seeing again one, not to insult the guys, but
8:26relatively replacement level receiver after another put up all kinds of big numbers when the 49ers needed him to.
8:33And now when they actually put draft capital behind the dude, he checks every single box on the field from what we're
8:40hearing with the coaching staff. And now with the opportunity going his way with injuries to Pieraw with Evans already being banged up. KD coming back maybe
8:48there for week one maybe not.
8:51Wheels up. Deson dribbling. What a time to be alive. Next up we got Panthers running back Jonathan Brooks. August 1st. This was the RB34 going pick 94.
9:00August 24th RB 29 pick 77. Why did he move up? Well, pretty simple. Two factors here. Good news out of training
9:08camp regarding his health. Again, this was someone who we did not get to see play the entirety of the 2025 season.
9:12So, it was kind of a question mark about how healthy is this guy even going to be at this point in time. And then a lack
9:18of health for one Chuba Hubard suffered the unfortunate hamstring injury that has left him week to week. Hopefully will be out there in week one. We did
9:25actually hear from Dave Canal himself.
9:27Quote, "If Chuba is good to go, it will be running back by committee with Brooks in week one." But yeah, no Chuba. Brooks
9:34not only healthy but now getting the chance to potentially take over the situation like we saw Rico Dao do last season and you can see why the public's
9:42been getting very hypy here on Jonathan Brooks and again I do think it makes sense to an extent particularly just the
9:48usage we've gotten from Brooks and that is the big thing for preseason guys if you caught my long- winded preseason pods thank you for checking them out by
9:56the way and also in case you didn't know hey love the YouTube streets I appreciate you guys hanging out but if
10:00you do like the audio podcast you know form better. I do have links to Apple and uh Spotify. Couldn't freaking remember the only two podcast forums we
10:08ever talk about, but whatever. Uh those are in the channel description here with Fantasy Football with Ian Hard. So, just want to throw that out there. And yeah,
10:16appreciate you. The big thing for Jonathan Brooks though, and we'll elaborate on the preseason pods.
10:21Performance is cool. The usage is what we pay attention to the most in the preseason with the first team. That's what we care about. Not these unofficial
10:30deaf charts where we never know what's actually happening, who's setting them.
10:33We get the ores with the first team starters. We care about the first team usage. And man, it has been all Jonathan
10:38Brooks over Trevor Etchen this entire pre-season. So, if Chuba was in there, I'm sure it would be approaching something closer to 50/50. But man, the
10:47fact that we're kind of already at that point is really good relative to where we were at 3, four weeks ago. We figure
10:53it'd be a committee of some shape or size, but some committees are 7030 in favor of the starter and some are 50/50.
10:59It sounds like Chuba and Brooks are leaning towards the latter. And that's great news because again, if we do see Brooks regain the form that made him the
11:10number one running back drafted in the 2024 draft class in the first place, it's going to be exciting, especially when he's going up against Trouba Huard,
11:18who declined last year while playing through injury and is now already injured again. Brooks, reminder, just turned 23 years old in July. This is a
11:27young player who was drafted highly out of Texas after serving his time behind Bejian Robinson and now is set up to
11:33potentially be the lead back running behind the most expensive offensive line in the league at least in terms of 2026 dollars spent.
11:41That's the bull case. Why this doesn't make sense. Chuba is not dead. In fact, we even heard from him as I'm recording
11:50this on Monday, August 24th. Chuba, quote, "To be honest, I feel pretty good. I think the coaches and obviously the training staff are just trying to
11:57take care of me. Obviously, last year I kind of came back a little early and it kind of lingered on for a little bit.
12:02So, I think it's them kind of protecting me from myself a little bit. I would have been out the next day if I could
12:06have, but I feel good. I feel healthy.
12:08Looking forward to week one, obviously.
12:11It's the middle of August. No, late August. Football's almost here, baby.
12:15Let's go.
12:16Panthers are being smart with the guy, just like the 49ers probably were with CMC in the tightness, whether that was a
12:22real thing or not.
12:25Chuba is alive, presumably on track for week one, and we just don't know the exact terms of the committee. There's a
12:31chance nothing has changed other than we've seen Brooks go out there and have a lot of touches, which is good.
12:43Hasn't been that great, though. And I know what I said, usage over production.
12:48I wouldn't mind seeing a highlight or two. We got everyone going over bonkers over him falling into the end zone from
12:54one yard out. Okay, and touchdowns are fun. I get it. The D's converted eight carries and 23 yards and that one short
13:00touchdown and he caught a nine yard pass. It's the preseason.
13:05Doesn't matter. Nothing matters. We live on a rock that floats around a ball of fire. I don't think Brooks's bursts look
13:11that great.
13:14Believe me, if we got a highlight that was really worth highlighting from Brooks, it would be everywhere.
13:21Do you guys remember the first week of August, there was a Panthers beat reporter doing what he's paid to do, just, you know, give us antidotes from
13:30practice and stuff, not slandering him, but he basically said Jonathan Brooks caught the pass, put his foot in the ground, and really got up field fast. It
13:38was like fanfiction, and the fantasy community went nuts.
13:42There are certain players who just get steamed and they tend to be young guys who have a bunch of truthers and the
13:50dynasty streets and the NFL draft streets. We are just itching itching to get off that victory lab tweet to be able to pull back what you
13:59said in March at minute 94 and your running back sleeper podcast and say, "Ha, I told you I was right. You were wrong, etc. It's
14:10the world we live in. Not here. We like to chill out over here. You guys get it.
14:16Jonathan Brooks could be the RB1, but he could also be the clear RB2. We don't know. The only thing that has changed
14:23usage-wise that we now know is that he is clearly the RB2 and Trevor Etchian is not a factor, which is good news for his
14:30handcuff upside. But man, when you do want to go ahead and look at some of the running backs that he is
14:38going way ahead of, you're putting a lot of stock in the idea that he is going to displace Choua Hubard. And based on what we've seen
14:47Brooks do on the field and based on the injury timeline from Chuba Hubard, assuming he's back at 100% by week one,
14:55not a guarantee, but given the fact what we've heard from Chuba, the timeline, it seems reasonable.
15:03If we're going Brooks as high as he's going right now, man, like is there that big of a difference between him and now an injured Cal
15:14Manung guy coming back or the Washington running backs or Kenneth Gamewell or Jordan Mason?
15:23All those running backs could also be better than the Panthers on better offenses than the Panthers.
15:29Panthers could be okay. They haven't been in the last two years though. Dave Canawas hasn't led a top 20 ranked scoring offense with the Buccaneers. He
15:36didn't do it with the Panthers last two years.
15:40Maybe Bryce Young makes the leap.
15:43I wouldn't exactly assume it's going to happen.
15:47Rotoire has this offensive line.
15:51Where do we rank them?
15:53It's not great. 29th.
15:57And a lot of that has to do with the injuries going on. Taylor Motton with the blood clots. Their tackle that had
16:01the season ending late year knee injury.
16:0529th though. And look, I've seen other offensive line judgments around the industry have them higher. Have them a lot higher. They're
16:14one of the more volatile ones I think I've seen of any group. But I'm team Rotoire, so I do like looking at
16:21Rotoire. And I also really trust and respect what Brandon Thorne does over at Estabas Run. He's got 25th.
16:30Rookie Monroe Freeling. He's going to have to be in there early.
16:36It's not a given. We don't necessarily love the offensive line. It's an offense that hardly gets the benefit of doubts scoring. And okay, it could be 50/50.
16:45Maybe he takes over eventually, but we really want to chase that up round five or six potentially.
16:52I think I'm selling this one, guys. He's my RB30. I got Chuba RB 36 and honestly that feels a little low. I feel like I'm
16:59counting out Chuba a little bit. It's kind of like the Courtland Sutton to wide receivers.
17:05I understand the fantasy points are going to be there and the volume to some extent doesn't make it any easier to click. I like to
17:13think fantasy football that we can have fun while making responsible decisions.
17:17It's not fun to click Courtland Sutton.
17:20It's not fun to click Cha Hubard either.
17:23But I don't know that Jonathan Brooks is the answer to that. Way too many good wide receivers where he's going.
17:29Honestly, some pretty awesome quarterbacks there as well. Jonathan Brooks to me.
17:35Round five, six, that's a little steep.
17:39If we can go seven plus, we're not getting chased up over the ambi. That's why it's an ambiguous backfield. It still is.
17:48I admit I think Brooks has a little more takeover ability than definitely does than someone like Blake Corum for instance. But
17:58Pittsburgh, Washington, Minnesota, these situations that we all kind of agree
18:06are fairly wild right now. Like we're we're giving Jonathan Brooks the Bucky Irving or Trayvon Henderson treatment.
18:16I don't think he deserves it. We're given the Bashalt Tutin over Chris Rodriguez treatment.
18:22If any of those, I think it's more likely he's the travon of the equation and Chuba Zurandre.
18:30He's the new shiny thing that we haven't gotten to see. And it will be a great story if Jonathan Brooks returns to full
18:36health and just runs wild this year. I hope he drafted him when he was a little bit cheaper. I can't get behind the
18:41round 56 price tag. throwing out a lot of ranks today everyone. So if you want to check out the full thing for

18:58I'm grinding out multiple articles per week and we'll be throughout the season.
19:01All right, that's the thing. It is draft season right now and it's important. But guess what? Spoiler, let you guys know a
19:07little, you know, insider tip here. A lot of teams look really good in August.
19:11Okay, before the Well, I guess the injury guys are already just ravaging everyone right now. So, that's not ideal. But every week throughout this season, I'm
19:22going to be doing my she report beyond the box score notes, right? After I watch every single game, I go through I
19:27tell you about the drop touchdowns, the overthrow touchdowns, unrealized area yards. Guys talk about the one yard line, couldn't score. I do find it to be
19:34unique in the industry and I do think it's a great way to help find BO candidates. also gonna be doing quarterback, running back, wide
19:40receiver, tight end, tears and notes, man. Going through the best buy lows, going through the best upcoming schedules, all that in written form in
19:49the year 2026, grinding, grinding, grinding. And with that, man, I'm going to be updating the ranks the whole damn time. So, Wire start set tools. There's
19:57so much more, too. But if you guys trust my content, if you trust my ranks, first of all, thank you. We are out here
20:02grinding day in and day out. If you want to support that, codeen35 rotoire.com.
20:06Check it out. Another player's ADP has been on the rise throughout August. We got Commander RB Jaory Kroski Merritt.
20:13The artist known as Bill started off August as the RB 40 pick 119. By August 24th though, guys, he is up to the RB37
20:20pick 101. Now, he actually has even played in the preseason yet. So, how could this possibly be happening? Well, in these muddled, ambiguous backfields,
20:28particularly in a good offense, or one we think could be good at least, like the Washington Commanders, once we do get clarity, that's when we start seeing
20:34moves like this. So specifically from the athletics band Standig talking about Bill being their RB1. He has kind of released his death chart and said that
20:42but recently he noted the possibility for a running back by committee but crucially stated quote I think Bill's pass blocking has improved enough that
20:49he should see some snaps on passing downs. White will play plenty but I would bet on Bill getting the majority of the reps between the two. There has
20:55been the steady drum beat of Washington be reporters saying Bill looks more explosive and also that he's been getting more going in the past game than
21:01in past years. The explosive note should not be anything crazy. Even as someone who has drafted a lot of Rashad White
21:07this past, you know, six months or so. I think we can all agree that Rashad White is hardly someone that we have crowned
21:13as an awesome explosive rusher of the football over the past four seasons. I like White for what he can do consistency wise and what he can do
21:20catching the football, but let's face it, one year, two million, does he even have a million guaranteed?
21:32Yeah, he does 1.7. But yeah, one year, $2 million contract.
21:38Now, Jakory Crossro was a day three pick. Not like he's making a ton of money year and year out, but the only
21:45competition that was brought in was Rashad Boy and sixrounder Kron Allen. He did some good things at Penn State.
21:51Don't get me wrong. He did eventually lap Nicholas Singleton down the stretch.
21:56But man, as much as Jakori Krosker maybe you can argue didn't I mean I I guess it's true.
22:03He didn't live up to the fantasy hype we put on him in August.
22:08He still had a good rookie year though guys.
22:12This was a seventh round pick and he wound up at over 870 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns. He had some huge games. that Chargers won early
22:22on, the Cowboys late, had some ball security stuff going on. Seemed to hit a little bit of a rookie wall. It happens.
22:29If we weren't so freaking crazy wired up about fantasy, we'd just be looking at Jakori Krosky Mered as wow, what a great
22:36seventh round pick by Washington. Hell of a promising rookie year. Good for this dude.
22:43But we're crazy. That's okay. I'm crazy with you guys. Why it makes sense to see Bill rising up the draft board again.
22:50these ambiguous backfields. This is why I want you guys to draft them. I want you to embrace the uncertainty because the second we do find out good things
22:57about them. We see the cream of the crop rise up. And yeah, you're taking a risk, but that's why they're so cheap in the
23:02first place. It's same thing in Minnesota.
23:06Minnesota and Washington, and we saw it last year with the Cowboys and Javvante Williams, and we saw with the Jaguars and Travis Ichien.
23:13Washington ranked fifth in scoring in 2025.
23:17Fifth.
23:19And that wasn't with some loaded cast of weapons that they suddenly don't have.
23:23If anything, their playmakers look better. I'd be more concerned about the Laramie Tonselless offensive line.
23:29Terry Diggs, Chig, Bill White. I understand I'm not describing this electric group of supporting playmakers here, but look at
23:40what it was in 2024.
23:42It was Terry, Diami Brown, Zack Z. Was Noah Brown out there.
23:49Like, it was not that great, guys. You know what was great? Jaden Daniels. And he's back.
23:55Kron Allen has mostly just been leading the backups in the preseason. Now, we do have this undisclosed injury going on with Bill. No reason to believe it's
24:03serious. We'll see what happens. Monitor it. Rashad White's also been out. He had the hamstring. He has returned to practice as I'm recording this on a
24:11Monday.
24:13But we did see in week one at least when Krosky Merritt was healthy him getting starters rest that has been echoed by
24:20the reporters at training camp. It seems like in this muddle backfield in August we have now found out that the two clear
24:26leaders were Bill Crosky Merritt and Rashad White and that's good.
24:31Why this rise in ADP doesn't make sense.
24:33We still don't know what the split really looks like. Shout out Ben Standic. I love when beat reporters actually try to give us the usage notes.
24:41That's all we really want in fantasy football land. It's easier to not do it because there's some [ __ ] amongst
24:46our fantasy community. They go slander people. Please don't be that guy or girl. But you guys know what I'm talking about.
24:54Could Bill be the clear one? Yeah, but it's the same thing with Brooks and Chuba, man. If it's 7030, that's amazing. And crossar, it's a massive
25:02value. If it's 50/50 or if it's 4040 with Kron taking 20, that's not something we're quite as excited about.
25:12They've been throwing the ball more to Bill is adding seven on seven. You know what I'm saying? Rashad White's no joke with
25:19that. Since he entered the NFL, Rashad White, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Chimera, only three running backs with at least 200 receptions.
25:29He's reliable, too. What we talk about issue with Bill last year, some of the pass pro stuff, some of the ball
25:36security stuff. Last season only had Rashad White, Chris Rodriguez, and Brian Robinson. Those are the only three players with 100 plus combined
25:47carries and targets and zero total drops or fumbles.
25:52Rashad White being on the same list as Chris Rodriguez. And Rodriguez wasn't a pass catcher. I get it. That's what they
25:58used Jeremy McNichols for.
26:01who's still on the team. I don't know if he's going to make it necessarily. They brought in Jerome Ford. They got Robert
26:06Henry Jr. out there, too. But while we don't look at the other competition around Jakori and say, "Wow, yeah, that's really steep." It wasn't
26:15steep last year, and it still didn't exactly help him keep the job for the entirety of the season. In an offense
26:21that doesn't have all that much turnover, David Blau was the assistant to the quarterback coach. assistant quarterback
26:29coach. One of those. Haha.
26:34We don't know what the split will look like. And I'm still fine. Ultimately, verdict. I am fine buying a Washington Commander RB. In fact, I like to do so
26:43in drafts of most shapes and sizes.
26:45Pittsburgh, Washington, and Minnesota to me feel like the three most ambiguous ones. And accordingly, we're not even really getting an overly sought-after
26:56front runner. I know Pittsburgh's a little more expensive out there. I believe that's because we probably feel a little better about Rico and Jaylen
27:05talent-wise. It's geriatric old dude under center. He's going to be feeding them a lot of targets.
27:12But man, these are exactly the backfields we should be targeting guys late because the other thing is they're going around handcuffs pretty much as it
27:20is. And Bill and Rashad still have good handcuff value. If one goes down, the other one's going to be shooting up. So,
27:27even if you draft the wrong Washington RB or the wrong Vikings RB, it's not like you're completely screwed. Yeah, I hope to get the right one. And I will
27:36say right now, I have Bill Ran Tire. I have Bill RB34 and Rashad White RB35.
27:42You know what that means, though? When one of these alleged fancy experts like myself ranks two teammates right next to each other, that's a little code for we
27:49don't really know who's going to lead the way.
27:52I prefer Bill right now. I think he's gonna lead the way in touches. I can see Rashad White being more in that Austin
27:58Eckler role that we saw in 2024 alongside Brian Robinson. Maybe more, but maybe he doesn't get all the pass game stuff if some of the words are to
28:08be be believed out of training camp. So, is the gap that's emerging between Bill and Rashad White warranted? That I don't
28:17know as much. I probably sell that idea, but I still want to be buying Washington Commanders running backs in my fantasy
28:22drafts. Next up, we got Packers RB Marshon Lloyd, August 1, RB 58, pick 195 August 24th, RB50, pick 152. Why has
28:33Lloyd moved up the ranks? It's pretty easy here. He is actually healthy and getting through training camp for once.
28:37We've also seen Josh Jacobs have his own health issues, namely a groin injury and legal situation issues pop up. So, he
28:44has returned to practice, reportedly looks good. my dear friend, lawyer, awesome fantasy football auction professional, awesome dude. Great job
28:55title right there, Ian. All right, he does not think from what he knows now that it's very likely Jacobs gets suspended.
29:04Let's assume he doesn't, but it's out there. It's more than 0%, but let's assume he doesn't. Loy is the clear number two RB and a usually pretty damn
29:14good Packers offense.
29:16that has historically under Matt Laflur leaned into committees more than we've seen over the past two years.
29:23And that's the weird game we have to play here. Josh Jacobs had 337 touches in 2024. He had 270 in 15 games last
29:30season. We previously had not seen Matt Laflur lean on a running back that much.
29:35He split touches between Derrick Henry and freaking Dion Lewis in Tennessee.
29:40Then we had the free Aaron Jones years.
29:42First with Jamal Williams, then with AJ Dylan.
29:46Josh Jacobs wore down at the end of last year.
29:50Is Marshon Lloyd a pure backup or could it be a little 6040 Tony Per, Taj Spears, David Montgomery, Woody Marxish?
30:01Could Lloyd take over the backfield? No.
30:03Please don't turn me off. All right, I was a joke. It's a bad joke. It's not happening. I get it. But Lloyd did look
30:10good. Looked good in that 11 yard touchdown, man. seemed like he was the design first read. Left the linebacker freaking dusted, man. Gave me nightmares
30:19as a former slow linebacker.
30:22Got an explosive passcatching friendly running back that is the only backup show in town pretty much. Chris Brooks was back for preseason week two. 71%
30:32snaps for Lloyd, 29% uh snaps for Brooks.
30:37I don't know that Lloyd would have this 90% snap roll if Jacobs goes down. I ranked him more so around RB 15, I think
30:46was where I landed on when I went through where every RB2 would rank if the RB1 was out of the picture.
30:54But we like the offense. We don't love the offensive line. Rotoire has him 30th dealing with some turnover. But one thing you'll read in that, one thing
31:02you'll read from Mr. Thornne over at ETR.
31:05Great play caller minds like Matt Laflur, like Liam Cohen, Kyle Shanahan, Ben Johnson, they tend to be able to make do. They can scheme around it.
31:17That's why this makes sense. We like the play caller. We like the offense. We got clear-cut RB2 with a skill set archetype
31:23we like.
31:26Why does not make sense? We're probably not really getting standalone value.
31:31Pretty rare that happens that you actually feel good enough about a clear number two running back to put in your flex. We always fantasize about it in
31:41August and then week two comes around, Lloyd has three carries, two targets for nine yards. We feel pretty stupid for having thought that was going to be the
31:50case.
31:53Chris Brooks also, not to put too much into preseason stuff, but I did find this notable. He outnapped Lloyd four to2 on third and fourth downs. He
32:02notably had the only two pass blocking snaps.
32:06I've seen good research from my dear friend Hayden Winkx pointing out that not as many fantasy points as you would expect go to running backs on third down
32:14the first place. We probably overrate that role.
32:19Still nice to have though.
32:21And this was Brook's first game back from his own hamstring injury. How the turntables Lloyd, it was a nice touchdown, but I
32:30will say similar to Jonathan Brooks, hasn't exactly been just killing it.
32:36We've heard good things out of practice, which probably matters more at the end of the day than what he does in the
32:40joint scrimmages and things like that.
32:45Hasn't looked like a god out there. You know, if some if Josh Jacobs got suspended for the whole season, like, do we really
32:51think Green Bay would stand pat, all right, Marshon Lloyd and Chris Brooks, an organization that fancies them? I believe Super Bowl contender
33:00every year.
33:02You don't think they add another RB there? Damen Martinez, RB3, no problem.
33:09This does profile a situation where they could call it James Connor. Maybe they signed Trey Benson who just got cut today. 4-1 out.
33:19I wouldn't put the Packers at the top of the list of backfields. I would expect this to be the case. That list where I
33:26think the current handcuff front runner would likely be displaced by a free agent, Curry Hunt, or someone like James Connor. Chiefs, Colts, Ravens, Cowboys,
33:35Bengals.
33:38Maybe I can name five, six more ahead of the Packers. I don't know if I can name 10 more.
33:44Now, it's not like there's 30 high-end running backs sitting out there need to be worrying about. That's another case.
33:50But Hunt and Connor, man, I want these guys settled so we can stop worrying about this for situations such as this.
33:57So, this doesn't make sense because standalone value is unlikely. And while Lloyd is the next man up for now, it's hardly something that we can be
34:07guaranteed of considering Brooks is there and to a bigger extent the potential for someone like James Connor to come into town.
34:15That said, we've examined both sides of the equation. My verdict, I'm buying, guys.
34:22Year three of standing this dude. You think I'm going to back down now? Not today, Satan. He's my RB46. I have him
34:30right there with Taj Spears, with Woody Marks. Don't get too wild, but man, I said it once, I'll say it again. Every
34:37draft is a great draft to draft Marshon Lloyd. He's the exact sort of late round pick we should prioritize again. And
34:43man, when you can get this dude regularly, round 13 plus sounds good to me, man. In home leagues, I know.
34:54And if you guys are out there again grinding it in FFPC, NFC, all the high stakes streets, respect. I love you. I'm
35:00there, too. I just feel like the bigger majority of dudes are out there now.
35:05ESPN. So, it's always kind of a juggle like, all right, is he really gonna be available that late? But that's where
35:09I'm at with some of the ADP.
35:11Guys, one more big one to break down.
35:14First though, quick word to our friends over at Splash Survivor because we got not one but two fantastic Survivor contests that I do invite you guys to
35:20check out because there is a lot of chance to win a lot of money and also a lot of chance to beat down myself and
35:26Theo Greinger in these Survivor streets.
35:28We got the Rotoire 100k NFL Survivor.
35:31It's a traditional Survivor League with a $15 entry fee. And also the Rotoire 50K Touchdown Survivor. This is playerbased. Essentially an anytime
35:38Touchdown Survivor League, $25 entry fee for that one. So again, $150,000 hairs at stake between the two contests.
35:46If you want to enter them both, it would only be a $40 entry fee. But actually, it could even be less than that because
35:51if you go to splashports.com/rotoire, promo code rotoire will get you a 50% deposit match and a 100% payout boost.
35:59Again, that's splashports.com/rotoire, promo code rotoire for 50% deposit match and 100% payout boost. Shout out to our friends over at Splash Survivor.
36:10Last but not least, actually maybe first, Rams tight end Terren Ferguson, guys. August 180p tight end 27 pick 186 here as we stand on August 24th though
36:20tight end 20 pick 161 hasn't played in the preseason nor has pretty much every player of consequence in Los Angeles. So
36:27the reason why he has been moving up a lot of it is glowing training camp reports we did hear about the Rams
36:32scrimmaging in Dallas Cowboys and Tfer giving the Cowboys hopefully maybe just maybe improved first team defense a lot of work throughout that day. Ferguson
36:41himself and some Shan Shawn McVenus echoed has said that he's been asked to play FZ Y and X being moved all around
36:47the formation and the athletics Nate Atkins has said quote believes tight ends it's not a quote I guess I summarized it but you can imagine he
36:54believes the tight ends will be a committee of Ferguson from the group as a player worthy of an every week game
36:59plan role that's all good things now Sean Mc said a lot of good things about a lot of guys over the years okay you
37:07can find glowing reports about Jarz Hunter last offseason you can find stuff about Terrence Ferguson. I think it was during last season him talking about
37:15Ferguson wanting to give him the ball a little more often. It just wasn't really happening. So, it has changed though. Kron Williams,
37:23Blake Cororm weren't exactly getting much of anything going as rookies.
37:28Kairen had some injuries. Blake was still coming back from that devastating knee he had in college, but weren't getting much going on.
37:36If you look at the roster, it would make sense for Ferguson to take a step up, particularly with this team not having
37:43made a wide receiver move of consequence pretty much all offseason.
37:48It's Puka and Devonte Adams.
37:50With all due respect to Canonado Mumfield, it's just those two guys right now, man.
37:56And they're gonna lean in their multi-tenant formations.
38:00But man, if we could get a leader in this group, there's certainly enough meat on the bone last season. If we had a team tight end
38:09position in fantasy football, the Cardinals will be number one thanks to Trey McBride. The number two highest scoring tight end room in all fantasy
38:17football in total PPR points last year was, you guessed it, the Los Angeles Rams.
38:23Terrence Ferguson led all tight ends in yards per catch at 21 last season.
38:27That's a ridiculous amount for a tight end. 52% of his targets came 20 plus yards downfield. The next closest guy was at 21%.
38:35They were using him as a tight end field stretcher option. Not even a seam stretcher. He was being used down the
38:43field.
38:45He only had, I believe it was nine catches. I'll tell you what, 11 catches, excuse me.
38:52One of the best 11 catch seasons I've ever seen. Isaac Tesla, Mitchell Tinsley, they're kind of in the same group there. But here's my thing with
39:01the tight end being used downfield.
39:05It's not like Ferguson is this respectfully. Aronda Gatston, I he's a wide receiver who's putting his hand in the ground. 65 250 man from Oregon who
39:16slowly but surely, don't look now, is kind of becoming the new tight end. you still want to give what Penn State,
39:23Notre Dame, sure there's other teams who have had very good ones coming out, but Ferguson's like the opposite, the anti- Tyler Warren in terms of the dudes he
39:33was able to keep on the bench when he was out there, man. Kenan Sadique, round one pick.
39:40Who's this guy they got now? Jefferson.
39:46The other tight end they have is already in those way too early mock drafts.
39:52This is really important. I find his name, guys. We got to wait on this.
39:56Jamari Johnson. Remember that name.
40:00Terren Ferguson kept those dudes chilling.
40:05He will carry top 10 upside on a weekly basis with a full-time role in this offense. If we get through week one and
40:12he has [clears throat] a 75 or more% route rate, Terrence Ferguson will be a consensus top 10, if not top six tight
40:19end in fantasy football. That is how we treated Dolan Concincaid going into last, not last season. Maybe it was last season. Concincaid has constantly been
40:28someone we've had up there. Look at what Aronda Gadson did last year with a full-time role when given the opportunity to basically
40:36be tight down one wide receiver three and an offense that we really like passing the football.
40:43There's Puka and there's Adams for sure.
40:45Puka a little banged up. Don't look now.
40:47Matthew Stafford guy. What do you mean?
40:49The MVP. He's pretty good.
40:54Ferguson [snorts] has field stretching ability which is rare at the position.
40:58He's built like an actual true inline tight end. I'm not worried about him doing the underneath stuff. Again, we just heard from him and McVey, they're
41:04using him all over the field.
41:07I'm pretty sure he can run a drag.
41:10I don't know with a lot of other tight ends if they can stretch the field.
41:13That's a concern to me. That's the club in your bag that's a lot harder to come by. We love the skill set. We love the
41:20offense. We love the price and fantasy.
41:22We just got to see if the usage is going to be there. But it could be based on what we're hearing at training camp. It
41:27sounds very promising. Why this price hike doesn't make sense.
41:33It probably still makes sense for the Rams to use a tight end by committee system.
41:37You know who else has been sitting all preseason? Kobe Parkinson, Tyler Higgby, and Davis Allen.
41:46Allen's been a little bit banged up.
41:48We've seen Max Cla out there though.
41:49They felt good about good enough about this dude to use a round day two pick on the guy. I know Max Clare didn't do much
41:55for my Buckeyes last year. Look great at Purdue.
42:01If they like what they have in Max Clare and they legit make five tight ends active on game days, each of which they
42:07trust reasonably enough to catch the football, that could be a problem. Last year, even with Tyler Higgby out for most of the
42:15season, it's not like Ferguson stepped up. That was Kobe Parkinson.
42:20Ferguson played under 50% of the snaps in all but three games last year.
42:24Honestly, just roll one up when Devonte Adams got hurt. That was kind of what did it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The
42:32offense is going through Puka and Adams.
42:35Right now, Rotoire projections have Ferguson leading the way among Rams tight ends and targets with 59. That's 30th at the position. I don't think he's
42:45going to keep averaging 21 yards per catch on a more normal role. All that said, my verdict, I'm buying, guys. Terence Ferguson is my
42:54favorite late round tight end click in all of fantasy football. He's my tight end 18. I got him just behind Chica
43:00Conquo, Andrew Johnson. He's ahead of Hunter Henry, Brenton Strange, AJ Barner. I feel like Henry Strange and Barner, we know who they are. And maybe
43:09they spike and they convert, you know, 12 of their 61 catches and touchdowns. They have one of those
43:17season. It's possible.
43:21We know they're going to be in near full-time roles. If they aren't, it's gonna be a surprise if Eli Raridan or,
43:26you know, Elijah Royo step up. It would be a surprise. Chick and Jawan Johnson, we are expecting full-time roles. Aronda Gatson and Terren Ferguson are the two
43:37late round tight ends where if we get a big time shift in what we're expecting in week one usage, it is going to be
43:44huge and fantasy land.
43:48Unlike with Aronda Gassin who we've seen consistently work behind Charlie Kohler and work behind David Njoko in the preseason, we can actually feel good
43:54about Terence Ferguson because we haven't seen it and that uncertainty has helped rise him up to fantasy ranks. So if you are in a situation you miss out
44:01on Brock Powers, you miss out on Coulson Lovelin. My next best thing is to go wait in the late rounds. Please, for the
44:07love of God, don't enter week one with T Ferg as your guy. But whether it's Dallas Goddard, whether it's Chicka Conquo, whether it's Joan Johnson, Jake
44:14Ferguson, get one of those more quote unquote boring options, boring is not not the right word, the higher floor option. And then go get
44:24yourself a lottery ticket that's basically free in the firm of Terren Ferguson. I love it. Sign me up. I love you guys for hanging out. Again, if you
44:32like the show, please like the show. Hit that subscribe button always works out as well. Hope you guys enjoyed this.
44:36Again, just look at some of the changing ADP landscape pieces. going to be back here soon looking at kind of the other
44:41side of the equation. Guys who have been falling in the ranks and if that is also something we should be worried about or
44:46something we should maybe be embracing and looking for opportunity.
44:50More and more goodness though on the way. Going to have my ultimate strategy guide for drafts out on rotoire.com this week. Have my week 2 preseason breakdown
44:57go out and also going to be doing a little DST goodness. All right. As much as I hate kickers, I don't mind DSTs.
45:04Heart of hearts. Yeah, probably still don't want to deal with them. I you know as again a guy who played football more
45:08and more years ago every time I mentioned it was on the defensive side more years than not. So got to show out
45:14for the real football players out there on the field. But anyway guys that's going to do it for me. Appreciate you
45:18for tuning in. As always I'm Ian. Until next time. Take care everybody.
