0:11>> I'm Theo Breminger, lead fantasy analyst right here at RotoWire, and we're talking about turnaround offenses. And identifying these turnaround offenses
0:21can lead to ADP wins for multiple players on the same team.
0:26We see it each and every year in fantasy football. Offenses where the market treats them one way, and then the offense shows up and scores a lot more
0:35points than they were projected to do so. It happens every year in the NFL.
0:40And why shouldn't it? The NFL is the ultimate turnaround sport. Last year the Super Bowl was played between the Seattle Seahawks
0:49and the New England Patriots.
0:51Things change in the NFL year after year. And we're going to identify a couple of those offenses that if they hit it right, could end up
1:00going from bottom-half scoring offenses in 2025 to top five to top 10 offenses in 2026.
1:08And a couple of these offenses could provide league-winning values in terms of fantasy football.
1:15Looking back at last year, we mentioned the Patriots. We mentioned the Seahawks.
1:22And those were two of the big breakout offenses in football last year.
1:26Seattle ended up finishing second overall in points per game scored.
1:32Then you look at the Jacksonville Jaguars, sixth overall in points per game scoring. Indianapolis, seventh in points per game. New England Patriots at
1:42eighth. And then the Chicago Bears with Ben Johnson at ninth overall. If you look at a year before, these teams were
1:50bottom of the barrel. New England, Chicago, and Jacksonville were bottom-six scoring offenses who again finished top 10 in the league with
2:01Seattle finishing second overall in points per game. Turnarounds happen every single year at a very, very dramatic rate. A couple of the factors
2:12that can equal a turnaround quarterback play either a new quarterback or a quarterback who's getting older.
2:20So, you look at last year, Seattle gets Sam Darnold. Then you look at New England, Drake May a year older. You
2:29look at Caleb Williams a year older.
2:31Indianapolis gets Daniel Jones. And the list goes on. Another signal that we like to look for is new play callers.
2:39Last year, of course, you had Seattle with Clint Kubiak, Jacksonville with Liam Cohen, New England with Josh McDaniels, and Chicago with Ben Johnson.
2:51Those are two signals. I mean, there's other signals we can look for but it really comes down to it. Year two
2:57quarterbacks, offensive line improvement new play callers. A lot of those things can supercharge a rebuild. Getting new ideas, using players in the ways that
3:09they're supposed to be used, and you can have these very quick turnaround seasons. I've identified six offenses that I think can get there this year.
3:19And we've got to start at the very top with the Los Angeles Chargers. Last year, they were 24th in scoring. Bottom
3:2610 in scoring. It was an ugly scene. And I remember that Los Angeles got off to a very quick start last year. But things
3:34really fell apart with the loss of offensive linemen. If we look at the splits for Justin Herbert uh this is a
3:41great stat from my guy Jared Smola of Draft Sharks. But in four games with Joe Alt healthy for over 50% of snaps, Justin Herbert
3:51averages a 67.7% completion rate, 272 yards per game, a 6.8% touchdown rate. You look at all
4:01other 12 games without Joe Alt, that yards per game average drops from 272 all the way down to 220. So, simply
4:08getting Joe Alt back, getting Rashawn Slater back, those offensive linemen for LA, that's a huge signal for a turnaround this year. Then you look at
4:19the play-caller. Mike McDaniel comes over from Miami, one of the best play-callers in the NFL, joining Justin Herbert on what should be an awesome
4:29offensive turnaround. Los Angeles has the ability to go from being a bottom-10 offense to being top three in points per game scoring this year.
4:39There's a lot to like about Mike McDaniel. In a very simplistic way, the run game should become more explosive and more efficient, because
4:49we've continually seen that in Mike McDaniel offenses, where you think about Devon Achane, you think about the big Raheem Mostert season, and then simply
4:59getting playmakers in space in situations where they can thrive. And McDaniel did this specifically with Tyreek Hill multiple seasons in Miami.
5:08Also, Jaylen Waddle had some fantastic years. And then you look at the success of Jonnu Smith, uh where Jonnu Smith had
5:16that top-five scoring season under McDaniel at the tight end position.
5:21There's a lot to like here. I think that Los Angeles this year is going to use a lot of heavy personnel with McDaniel as
5:28well. They've shown you that by their off-season moves. Signing Alec Ingold, the fullback, signing David Njoku and Charlie Kolar at
5:38the tight end positions, and of course, the offensive line improvements that they made, not only with getting Alt and Slater back, but addressing the interior
5:48offensive line this off season, you look at Los Angeles, there's so much to like here. Justin Herbert, the best quarterback that Mike
5:56McDaniel has been associated with.
5:58Herbert is an easy click right now in all formats based on where he is priced.
6:03You talk about the heavy personnel, and that heavy personnel is going to consolidate targets to at least one Los Angeles receiver.
6:13Right now, the most expensive receiver is Ladd McConkey, but Ladd McConkey looks primed for a true turnaround year.
6:21We look back at where Ladd McConkey was as a rookie in 2024, averaging 15 plus points per game in fantasy football.
6:29There's a chance he can do that and then some, and he's being priced right now like a mid wide receiver two. So,
6:36Herbert and McConkey both looking good.
6:38Then you look at who's the next target in the passing game.
6:43A guy like Quentin Johnston, who has 16 touchdown catches over his last two seasons, if he can hold off the threat of I
6:52Rondell Gadsden and Trey Harris, then there's a chance that Quentin Johnston is going to pay off very well at his wide receiver four
7:00price tag.
7:02But you got to start off the entire conversation with Los Angeles with Omarian Hampton. Omarian Hampton, year two running back, has a chance to thrive
7:12in fantasy football this year. Has a workhorse profile where he can be used in the passing game, he can handle a
7:19high volume in terms of touches, and in the running game, Omarian Hampton has home run hitting ability to go along with being a fantastic threat around the
7:29goal line. Omarian Hampton can concede touches in this backfield to guys like Keaton Mitchell, and Keaton Mitchell, another target where especially you best
7:38ball managers, you want want have access to some Keaton Mitchell this year. He's going to be a fun one in Best Ball, but
7:44Omarian Hampton, the most expensive Charger for a reason. If this offense goes nuclear and takes a huge step, Hampton could be the one to benefit the
7:53most.
7:54Omarian Hampton has a chance to be a 2027 first round pick. Right now, he's locked in to the upper half of the
8:01second round. Really tough round, a lot of competition for him in ADP, but if this offense goes nuts, Omarian Hampton probably ends up with 12 plus rushing
8:10touchdowns this year. Los Angeles, a very easy team to click on. Another team we're looking on at as a big turnaround
8:17offense is the New Orleans Saints. Now, with the Saints, you're talking about a year two play caller in Kellen Moore.
8:26But Kellen Moore has a chance to really take this a step forward. We talk about last year, New England and Chicago with those year
8:35two play callers at the quarterback position.
8:38You're having that with New Orleans as well. Tyler Shough was very effective down the stretch last year.
8:44Over the second half of the season, Tyler Shough had a number of fantasy football relevant starts.
8:51Shough also has the ability to run the football. But with a Kellen Moore offense, you're going to see always the pace of play
9:00where the offense plays fast and it creates a high number of dropbacks and play opportunities. Usually, a Kellen Moore offense finishes towards the top
9:12of plays per game. So, you've got Shough and you've got Kellen Moore. And then you look at New Orleans on the offensive
9:18line, should be much improved this year.
9:21And the amount of weapons that New Orleans was able to add, it's awesome. I mean, when you're looking at Shough, he had Chris Olave last year and Chris
9:32Olave, the most expensive Saint for a reason. I've talked about him on previous shows. If Chris Olave can stay healthy, you're talking about a player
9:41who could have 170 targets this year and benefit from the offense taking a big step forward in terms of points per game
9:48scoring. But, it's not only Tyler Shuck and Chris Olave.
9:53New Orleans was able to go out and add Travis Etienne, who had a fantastic season in Jacksonville last year.
10:00Etienne is expensive this year, but there's been some very positive coach speak and the scheme seems to fit him well. It's a volume-based bet, but
10:10Etienne should catch some passes out of the backfield, should have all of the goal-line opportunities, and should see a high number of touches, just like he
10:18did in Jacksonville last year. He's not a must-draft player, but structurally he makes sense because of his role and my enthusiasm for this offense. And let's
10:28remember, this offense was 28th in scoring last year. So, this is a leap of faith that Kellen Moore takes it up
10:35another notch this year, but if you look at the number of playmakers added to the offensive passing game, it's awesome.
10:44Jordan Tyson, top-10 pick out of Arizona State, a terrific wide receiver two opposite Chris Olave. Tyson could also pay off very well at his current ADP
10:55price tag. There's a chance that we see Chris Olave finish as a wide receiver one and Jordan Tyson joins him as a
11:02low-end wide receiver two with flex viability. Tyson is a terrific talent and a player who can win on multiple levels. There's some parallels between
11:13Jordan Tyson and CeeDee Lamb, a player that Kellen Moore coached in Dallas and sort of had his huge breakout, a massive, league-winning type seasons as
11:23a pro attached to Kellen Moore. We talked about Travis Etienne, we talked about Tyson.
11:29There's also the double tight end here with not only Juwan Johnson who was very good last year. Johnson had a breakout
11:37season in Kellen Moore's offense, but you also have Oscar Delp, the third round pick out of Georgia. A ton to like
11:44when it comes to Oscar Delp. Oscar Delp has incredible speed.
11:49Um he'll be one of the fastest tight ends in the NFL as a rookie. The ability to take it the distance on any touch.
11:57The ability to have sort of the the high-end yak that we've seen from guys like George Kittle. Delp is going to
12:04probably be a part-time guy. You want to mix him in in very late best ball exposure, that's fine. But the tight end
12:10you want to draft still is Juwan Johnson. But stylistically, Oscar Delp is going to help this in entire passing game with his speed that he brings at
12:19the tight end to position. Then you look at Bryce Lance. The Saints also added Bryce Lance in the fourth round out of
12:28North Dakota State. 6'3, 200 plus pounds, ton of speed. So when you factor in all these things for New Orleans, there's been speed added, there's been
12:39talent added at multiple levels of the offense. The offensive line is going to be better and we trust in Kellen Moore.
12:45Go ahead and draft yourself some Tyler Shuck, especially in best ball drafts.
12:50Chris Olave is a target of mine in all formats including dynasty, best ball, and especially redraft. Jordan Tyson a target as well. And structurally, Travis
12:59Etienne makes some sense, but he's not a must draft guy for me. But this Saints offense truly has the ability to go from
13:0728th overall in scoring to being a potentially top 10 scoring offense this year. It's not going to take that much and it's also a division where New
13:17Orleans thinks they can win. So we're looking at them. Let's keep this one going. Minnesota Vikings. This is an easy one.
13:24We believe in Kevin O'Connell. Kevin O'Connell has consistently elevated quarterback play.
13:31We've seen it in multiple seasons, whether it was Kirk Cousins, whether it was Josh Dobbs. You even had a stretch with Nick Mullens, where Nick Mullens
13:38was playing just terrific.
13:41And last year, the floor fell out from under him. JJ McCarthy, Carson Wentz, Max Brosmer, I mean, about as bad as it gets in terms
13:50of quarterback play.
13:52Then you got a chance this year for a player that needs a major turnaround in his career.
13:58How is the rest of Kyler Murray's NFL career going to go? It's going to be decided this year in sort of a perfect
14:05pairing with a quarterback whisperer like Kevin O'Connell, who's consistently maximized his offenses.
14:13The pass volume should be pretty strong here.
14:16And you naturally gravitate towards Justin Jefferson, a player who we've seen finish as a wide receiver one overall, and a player who's been
14:25unbelievable for fantasy football in every season of his career except for last year.
14:31Having a huge turnaround year if Minnesota is going to have that turnaround season.
14:36Kyler Murray, though, an interesting one. Kyler Murray is being priced as a mid-to-low-level quarterback two.
14:45He is the odds-on favorite right now to win the job over McCarthy. I would be shocked if Murray doesn't win that job.
14:52And Kyler Murray has a chance if the scrambling ability is there and he utilizes it to crush his ADP and finish
15:00as a low-end QB1.
15:02If you're a best ball manager, you're drafting on Underdog, drafting on on the other platforms, building Kyler Murray-Justin Jefferson exposure makes a
15:10lot of sense. If you're a redraft manager, Justin Jefferson makes a ton of sense, especially in drafts where you can get Jefferson at the beginning of
15:19the second round, where you see him going sometimes. A lot of times he's a late first, makes sense there structurally, but Justin Jefferson can
15:26have a big turnaround season if we get even okay quarterback play out of Kyler Murray.
15:33You also look at some other Minnesota players. It's tough finding a true must-draft guy. Jordan Addison has a chance to turn things around this year.
15:4319 touchdown catches from Addison in his first two seasons as a pro. Obviously, that fell apart last year alongside of Jefferson, but Jordan Addison makes some
15:52sense.
15:53One issue with Jordan Addison is the addition of Jauan Jennings. And Jauan Jennings should make you like the Kyler Murray and overall offense uh a little
16:03bit better. They lose Jalen Nailor from last year, a player we'll talk about shortly.
16:09But adding Jauan Jennings, a very solid wide receiver three, Murray is going to have Jefferson, Addison, and Jauan Jennings as his wide
16:18receivers. T.J. Hockenson has lost a step, but he is still a capable tight end. And then you have a backfield where
16:25there's not really a target that you must draft. Aaron Jones, if you're looking for early season production, should have some value, but he's going
16:33to be pushed by Jordan Mason. And then late rookie uh draft pick, day three guy, De'Mont Clayborn has a chance. But
16:40really, the overall offense here is priced correctly. Justin Jefferson should be the biggest beneficiary, and certainly Kyler Murray if Minnesota can
16:51turn things around. The next offense to talk about, the Las Vegas Raiders. Then you say, "Theo, where were they last year in the scoring?" Near the very
17:00bottom of the NFL. The Las Vegas Raiders were abysmal last year. Uh Pete Carroll experiment was about as bad as it gets,
17:09and the Raiders finished dead last as an offense.
17:14We saw them average only 14.2 points per game.
17:18Uh really, really poor stuff from from Las Vegas last year, but they went out and hired one of the most exciting hires
17:26possible this offseason. We talked about Seattle finishing second overall last year.
17:32You talk about the New Orleans Saints in 2024 who got off to a red-hot start, and it all happens with Clint Kubiak. And
17:40Clint Kubiak just has this reputation now for turnaround seasons. Not only was he able to get things right in Seattle, he was able to turn around an offensive
17:49line, and he's going to have to do that this year in Vegas. But, Clint Kubiak is one to believe to believe in.
17:57He's a truly gifted play-caller, and that's why you saw Seattle take this huge step forward offensively.
18:05And that's why I think Las Vegas is a tremendous bet.
18:09Vegas has a really a short hill to climb here. I mean, they they are definitely going to be better because again,
18:15they're bottom of the barrel. But, when you look at the elite talent that Kubiak has to work with, you have Brock Bowers and Ashton Gentty,
18:24two players who Kubiak is going to lean on in a major, significant way.
18:30When you look at Jackson Smith-Njigba last year, JSN with his unbelievable target share, first read rate, incredible usage, Brock Bowers should
18:40have that this year, but he should have that at the tight end position.
18:46Bowers has a chance to be a 20-point per game player at the tight end position, which is historically good. And even if
18:54Bowers misses that, Bowers giving you a 16-to-18 point per game season, I think is a very realistic number considering what an
19:03elite talent he is and what an elite role he should have with in this offense.
19:08Then you look at Ashton Gentty. Ashton Gentty last year averaged 14 plus points per game, had 50 plus receptions, numbers that should improve mightily
19:19with Clint Kubiak. Kubiak has talked a lot about getting multiple backs involved and certainly Las Vegas went out and drafted Mike
19:27Washington on day two of the NFL draft.
19:30But it begins and ends with Ashton Jeanty. One of the best running back prospects we've seen over the last 10 years, has a chance to have a
19:39league-winning season. Now, the price tag for Jeanty and Bowers very expensive. Jeanty is a late first-round pick in formats like the FFPC, NFFC, and
19:49Underdog. Sometimes you get him at that two-three turn, early second round, but he is a locked-in top 15 pick. Then you
19:56look at Bowers and Bowers is the tight end one overall in any single format that matters. If you're listening to podcasts and they're telling you Trey
20:04McBride is the number one drafted tight end this year, then they're not paying attention to ADP. Bowers has flipped him in every single format that matters.
20:13Brock Bowers is expensive though and Ashton Jeanty's expensive. So, those two guys, can this offense be consolidated enough to support that? I think they
20:22absolutely can. You look at look at the success of Alvin Kamara in 2024, a huge turnaround season for him under Clint
20:30Kubiak.
20:31And then if you look at Kubiak's success last year collectively, if you look at the the scoring from Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet
20:42combined, it's really kind of indicative of what we could see from Jeanty because the number two back in in Vegas is certainly
20:51not going to push is not going to push Jeanty in the same way we saw Charbonnet pushing a Kenneth Walker last year. So,
20:59look at Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet collectively, that's sort of a little bit more of the touchdown upside we could see for Gentry if this
21:08offense has a major major turnaround.
21:11Quarterback position I feel fine.
21:13Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins, the combination of them is going to be a big improvement in this year one for Clint
21:19Kubiak. And then you look at trying to find some other values.
21:23Trey Tucker flashed last year as the de facto wide receiver one, but I'm looking at Jaylen Nailor who Vegas targeted as a
21:32free agent. They lost out on Alec Pierce and then they quickly brought in Jaylen Nailor. Nailor's a little bit under the
21:39radar, but he has a chance to thrive this year. Nailor is going to benefit from the play action scheme that we're
21:45going to see from Clint Kubiak. Nailor's 27 years old, so betting on a 27-year-old breakout season, it doesn't always happen, but I think that Jaylen
21:55Nailor has a big opportunity and the coaching staff seems to really like him.
22:01There's a good chance that we see Jaylen Nailor finishing as a low-end wide receiver three, which would crush his current ADP. And if he doesn't do so, it
22:10probably means that Tucker or Jack Besh was able to do it. But the best bet at the wide receiver position is Jaylen
22:17Nailor from where I'm sitting, but it's really Gentry and Bowers. If you're betting on this offense turning around in a major way, bet on one of these
22:25young dynamic talents, Brock Bowers in year three, Ashton Gentry in year two, and bet on Clint Kubiak having a Ben Johnson-like impact on this offense. I
22:36think he's that good as a play caller and again, they've just got to be consolidated here. The offensive line is going to be better. A lot of people are
22:44concerned about that, but again, Kubiak schemes it very well and we saw some personnel moves such as signing Tyler Linderbaum, the terrific center out of
22:56Baltimore. They're improving that interior offensive line and And think this offense is going to benefit greatly from it. Continuing the conversation
23:04talking about breakout offenses, let's go to the AFS the NFC South.
23:10And let's talk about the Atlanta Falcons.
23:12We already talked about the New Orleans Saints. Let's talk about their opponent, the Falcons. Falcons were 23rd overall in scoring last season.
23:21And have the chance to really turn things around. We talk about new coordinator. You've got Kevin Stefanski coming over as head coach and bringing
23:29Tommy Rees with him. So, you've got new voices and new ideas in the locker room.
23:34You talk about a quarterback, sort of a this year's Daniel Jones type vibe from Tua Tagovailoa, who looks to be leading
23:41the charge ahead of a Michael Penix Jr.
23:43heading into the season. Tagovailoa obviously had some very bad moments in Miami, but also some positives and seems to have the leg up here.
23:53Neither one of those got me Tagovailoa and Penix, neither one of them is probably going to be very fantasy relevant. But, Tua Tagovailoa as
24:02a late best ball target makes some sense, especially considering how easy it is to stack him.
24:09But, when it begins and ends with the Atlanta, it's the unbelievable talent level and consolidation that they have from their big three.
24:17Bijan Robinson going off the board as the 102 right now, right behind Jahmyr Gibbs in major formats.
24:24Robinson is a tremendous player and you're lucky to be able to get him this year. Very much worth the 101 in many
24:31seasons. He's a locked-in top three pick in all formats. He's going to benefit from this scheme. If this offense has a
24:38chance to score more points, Bijan could end up scoring more touchdowns.
24:43Drake London has wide receiver one overall potential and should continue to thrive. London has averaged over 16 points per game in back-to-back seasons.
24:53Has a chance to absolutely crush it this year.
24:57Then you look at Kyle Pitts, who had his big breakout season last year, just had a huge contract extension.
25:05And we look at Kevin Stefanski and Tommy Rees coming over from Cleveland, where they've had great success with tight ends.
25:12David Njoku, multiple tight end one seasons. And last year, Hayden Hurst Jr., who was incredible out the gate as a 21-year-old rookie tight end who led
25:23the team in targets, led the team in catches, receiving yards. So, multiple seasons we've seen tight ends thrive in this role. And Kyle
25:33Pitts is the best bet to be the number two target on the Atlanta Falcons. If you're looking for a dart throw late
25:39pick, Zachariah Branch. If you've built a a Drake London, Kyle Pitts with Tua Tagovailoa stack, add on some Zachariah Branch with that one and get access to
25:51the explosive and dynamic rookie who's incredibly under the radar. I like this Atlanta Falcons offense simply because of consolidation.
25:59But there's a chance that it's much more than that. You're betting on major talents being utilized to the best of their ability with a scheme change, a
26:08quarterback change, and just general vibes being better in Atlanta this year.
26:13The final team we'll talk about is the Washington Commanders. And this is really a post-hype sleeper offense because they fell to 21st overall in
26:22scoring last season. But if you go back to 2024, Jayden Daniels' rookie year, they had the sixth best scoring outcome in the NFL, sixth highest points per
26:32game scoring average in 2024, dropped all the way to 21st last year.
26:37You've got David Blough taking over as the offensive coordinator.
26:41Blough brings some fresh and new ideas.
26:44You talk about these guys sort of like the Ben Johnsons. You talk about guys like the Clint Kubiaks. David Blough could be a fast-tracked guy here because
26:56David Blough is 30 years old.
26:58Bringing over experience from Detroit, was a player in the league very recently, and now has a chance to be a very impactful play-caller in his first
27:09season as the OC. You're going to see a lot more behind-center than shotgun snaps for Jayden Daniels. That's sort of the big philosophical change with David
27:19Blough. With David Blough, the vibes are just great. Everything coming out of Washington leans into him being a top-notch play-caller. All of the
27:27veterans are saying the right things.
27:29And David Blough, the fact that he got this job, I think is indicative of the fact that Detroit's OC job was open. And
27:37Washington did not want to lose David Blough to another team in the NFC, so they elevate him to offensive coordinator even at the age of 30. So,
27:46you talk about 21st overall in offense last year. Washington with a major chance to turn around. Jayden Daniels, it begins and ends with him.
27:56Daniels has a chance to crush his ADP.
27:59In formats like the FFPC, the NFFC, you're able to get Jayden Daniels at a very, very solid range. And on Underdog, he's an easy click as well.
28:10Somewhere in that quarterback five through six range is where Jayden Daniels is currently being drafted. Has a chance if he stays healthy
28:18to lead the NFL in quarterback rushing production.
28:22Really, really top-notch stuff when it comes to Daniels.
28:26You also look at Washington as a whole.
28:28It's a shootout division for them, where there could be some negative game scripts for them this season. They are not a shoe-in to have a massive
28:36turnaround in the wins and loss department. There's a chance we see Washington in some terrific game flow environments.
28:43There's a lot of cheap-priced A players at ADP this year. Terry McLaurin is going cheaper this year than he was last
28:50year.
28:51And we saw him set the Washington franchise record for touchdown catches with Daniels in 2024. Terry McLaurin has a chance this year
29:01to have an all-time high in targets.
29:04We talk about older players and not they don't always break through in this sort of range, but Terry McLaurin could end
29:10up having a 150 target season. David Blough has talked about getting him the ball. You could I think you're going to
29:17see more easy button targets for McLaurin.
29:19And one thing you will see with McLaurin that you never saw with Cliff Cliff Kingsbury is David Blough is going to
29:25move him all over the field. Kingsbury sort of laughably would keep McLaurin on one side of the field, not really utilize him at any motion, not utilize
29:34him all over the place. I think with Blough, you're going to see McLaurin featured and lined up in different spots this year. There's a chance McLaurin
29:42absolutely crushes it.
29:45Chig Okonkwo was brought over as a free agent tight end.
29:49He's got a chance to compete as the number two target in this passing game.
29:54And Chig Okonkwo has a chance to be a tight end that's drafted as a tight end two that easily finishes as a tight end one.
30:02Look for Chig Okonkwo to have a career season. We know that there's been tight end success with guys like Zach Ertz
30:09attached to Jayden Daniels. Look for that to continue this year with Chig Okonkwo.
30:14Then you look at rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams, another interesting player.
30:19And then it's the running back spot where if this offense takes a big step forward, returns to the top 10 scoring,
30:25you're going to see one Washington running back thrive. And there's a chance it could be two of them, which could be very annoying for fantasy
30:32football.
30:33My bet is on Rachaad White. Rachaad White's ADP has risen up to around the eighth round. You were getting him in
30:41sort of the ninth, 10th round for a while. Now we're seeing him go off the board in the eighth round, especially in
30:46formats like the FFPC. Rashad White has three seasons with 50 receptions as a pro. Rashad White also has the the sort
30:55of the locker room narrative thing here, where he played with Jayden Daniels at Arizona State. You're going to see Rashad White as the back that you
31:04probably should be drafting this year in Washington. A little bit of a floor play, but there's a chance that he could
31:10be this year's Kenneth Gainwell, maybe this year's Javonte Williams if it all goes right. And if it's not Rashad White, then it's probably going to be
31:19Jacquory Crosby-Merritt. Crosby-Merritt lacks that pass-catching upside that Rashad White does, but from a rushing department, JCM had some really good
31:29productivity last year, had a very good end-of-the-season run, and I think that the coaching staff knows him and trusts him as a runner. You've also got Penn
31:38State running back Keaton Allen. So for me with Washington, Jayden Daniels a big target of mine.
31:44Terry McLaurin, I'm happy to draft him at cost. Chig Okonkwo, especially for best ball and a late dart throw in my
31:52redraft leagues.
31:53Antonio Williams, probably a little more best ball, but I am intrigued, and I think there's a point in the year where
31:59he might be a waiver wire add in redraft. And then of course Rashad White for me, that's a player that I have a
32:04good deal of exposure to at this point.
