0:00.0 | Right now is the busiest time for fantasy football drafts, and if you're watching this, that |
0:03.4 | means you have an important one coming up. And this might be the most important video of them all, |
0:06.7 | because we're talking about the six must-have running backs you need to be targeting in your |
0:10.5 | drafts right now. And we're starting with a guy who's out in Miami, in my opinion, over the course |
0:14.7 | of the last four or five months or so has changed a little bit on Devon A-Chane who has the potential to be the number one overall running back, not just on the Miami Dolphins, no, in the entire fantasy football landscape, in my opinion, |
0:24.8 | this year. Because as a rookie last year, A-Chane or a champ, whatever you want to say, was the |
0:28.4 | most efficient running back in the league. Here's what he ranked to number one in. Fantasy points |
0:31.7 | per opportunity, running back efficiency, breakaway run rate, and yards per touch. And look, even if A change touches don't go up |
0:37.7 | this year. And as you can see right here, he's ranked 21st overall late second round. Even if they |
0:41.8 | don't go up this year, which they should, because he's entering year two. He has another year of |
0:45.0 | experience. He had the summer to put on more muscle and get healthier. Even if they don't go up, |
0:48.8 | I still like him over guys like Travis Etyen, definitely Kyra Williams, who go ahead of him in most drafts, over 70% of |
0:55.0 | drafts right now. |
0:55.6 | And look, in the preseason, you always see about how these running backs are being used as wide |
0:59.4 | receivers, and it never pans out. |
1:00.6 | But here's A-Chane in the second preseason game lining up on the outside. |
1:03.6 | And if you're going to put a guy with 4-2 speed on the outside against a linebacker because that's how defenses have to match up. It's going to be lights out. That won't happen often, but it's going to happen enough, one, two, three times a game |
1:13.8 | where that's going to pay off during the season. And just in general, out of the backfield, |
1:16.7 | you can expect a lot of receiving game usage for Achan. This is a team that likes to get their |
1:20.3 | running backs in space not only in the running game, but receiving game. We saw it last year. year it's going to happen again. Now look, I get the concerns about Devana Chan, and look, he's 188 pounds. |
1:27.6 | This is my biggest concern and the biggest question you have to ask yourself coming into this year. |
1:30.8 | This is a guy who last season, his biggest knock coming into the NFL out of Texas A&M was that he's a |
