consensus rankings.

0:51.0

You can find those rankings and tiers at Fantasyprose.com slash rankings. You can navigate to other positions as well. Today, we are talking to running backs. This is one of my favorite types of shows that we do at fantasy pros because it's a little more casual. You guys didn't have to prepare specific names ahead of time. We just kind of look at the tiers and react. Who's too high? Who's too low? Who's in the wrong tier? Who do we think could jump tiers this year?

1:11.8

They're in the right tier this year.

1:08.3

All that fun stuff. We'll be having conversations about, like I said, the top six tiers, which runs us through just a little bit past the top 50 in the rankings. Guys, it is July 31st today we are taping this, which means we are one day away from August, which means we are in it.

1:10.6

Like, the Hall of Fame game is happening tonight.

Football is like, you know, not back all capital letters, but it's like back lowercase letters. Jake, what does that mean for you at the athletic? What do you have going on? Well, so the athletic, we have our draft kit finally out, and the rankings are there. We're actually going to reference a lot of them. I use the widget for the fancy pros so you can see my ranks versus the what we're going to be talking about today and then of course the customizable projections which you can say jake you're dumb i think this is what the projection should be for a player and then you can see how it affects the rankings but yes it is it's draft season kickoff i'm actually going to miss andrew live in person this saturday or depending on when're watching this last Saturday. Tried to get you to come out, but I know you had a lot of trips. You're going to have to make it back to the East Coast so he can get the crew back. Maybe 2006, all three of us be back together. Yeah, that'll be fun for sure. Yeah, it would have been a lot easier to make it out if I was already on the East Coast. Coming from Denver always makes it tricky. How many times did I ask if you were still in Maryland? A few. It's easy to forget. You know, I have, when I don't have the background behind me, I've got all the Orioles stuff, and I talk Ravens all the time. So it's easy to just think of me as Maryland. But, yeah, sadly yeah, sadly not there anymore. And I say sadly only because I miss the crabs back there. Everything else I like Denver a lot better. Um, Erickson, what's kind of going through your mind here a day away from August? What's your emotion like heading into like this is the month where it all happens? I'm just really excited. It's crunch time. Everything needs to be buttoned up.

2:55.4

Every day, it seems like I'm thinking about where I want to update my rankings based on training camp reports, based on injuries that it seems like are happening pretty frequently.

2:59.4

Every time I look up, it seems like another guy has gone down, which that doesn't always happen

every off season leading up in training camp sometimes we get less injuries but this year
