Hello everybody. Welcome into another episode of the fancy pros football podcast. This is a microcast

0:06.7

today. We will be in and out in just a few minutes. I am Ryan warmly joined today by Andrew

0:12.6

Erickson, Erickson. We are here. We are less than a month away from the season. And we are talking

0:18.4

today about busts, breakouts, and bargains, the killer bees, start us off with your busts.

0:25.4

All right. My first bust running back Josh Jacobs. So last year he led the NFL in touch

0:30.2

but that's not something that projects favorably for the next season. Basically if you look at

0:34.0

the running backs in the following year after they led the NFL in touches, only two running backs

0:38.1

have finished as RB ones in the following year, since the NFL in touch is since 2013. Ezekieli,

0:43.9

it's the only one to do that over that period to finish inside the top five the following season.

0:48.3

So given that and just the ongoing situation with Josh Jacobs not at Raiders camp. He's a

0:54.4

boss for me in 2023. Next guy is running back Alexander Madison for the Minnesota Vikings. He

just basically checks off all the boxes of a dead zone running back. You know we're drafting Alexander

1:04.8

Madison at the high end of the RB two range because of projection. You know it's projected workload

1:10.4

in a high powered offense. But he himself. I don't know how good he actually is. He's never played

1:15.7

more than 50% of teams offensive snaps back to back games. And when you're just drafting players

1:20.7

based solely on the situation, that's how you draft boss players. Like that's how you end up

1:26.4

getting into trouble when you're over evaluating the situation and not looking enough at the player

1:30.7

and specifically with Alexander Madison. If he was so good, why did he never carve out a role

1:36.2

alongside Dalvin Cook, especially last year when Dalvin Cook had his worst year as a pro ranked

1:41.4

last in Russian EPA. Alexander Madison couldn't sniff the field. He actually had his least

1:46.0

amount of touches last year than three years combined. So for me, Alexander Madison,

1:50.6

it gives off a lot of red flags as a dead zone running back. And then lastly quarterback to a
