Three bold predictions for you right now on fantasy football today in five.

0:54.7

Adam Azar and Heath Cummings. All right, Heath, here we go. First bowl prediction, James Connor is going to be a bust. I don't know exactly what that means. I'll say outside the top 20 running backs. I am a little bit worried about James Connor. I do like him in the fourth round if that's where you're getting him. But some people are going to take him like you. I take him in the second round. Even the third round seems a little rich for me. James Connor, a bust. Yeah, I'm out on James Connor in the second round. And I think that I mostly agree with this. Like I said, I haven't... Actually, I have updated my rankings. I've got them in round four now. So I don't even know what you were talking about. The Darrell Williams signing bothered me. It worries me that they may not give him the passing downs role or they don't want to give him the passing downs role. And the touchdowns that he scored from last year, we know are not sustainable. He'll score a bunch, maybe amongst the league leaders.

1:28.6

But yeah, I'm a little bit worried about Connor. Yeah, all right. I mean, I don't know if Darrell Williams is such a huge side. I don't know. I don't think that James Connor is in every downback. I don't think they're going to treat him that way, one way or the other. I don't know who it's going to be on third down. Yeah, I don't think they're going to.

1:42.9

I struggle with the idea that he's not one because we've seen him when teams have let him do

1:49.0

that be elite. Awesome, right. But I just don't think they're going to use him that way.

1:55.3

They just have, that hasn't really been their track record. Okay, anyway, bold prediction number two.

1:59.9

Trey Lance, Justin Fields, and Trevor Lawrence will all be top 12 quarterbacks and one of

2:05.0

them will be top five. Trey Lance, Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, all top 12. One of them

2:09.4

will be top five. That's a crazy town banana pants, but, um, like I think one of them will

2:17.2

probably be top 12 and maybe also top five.

2:20.2

Maybe Fields and Lance both will be top 12.

2:22.6

I have such a hard time seeing how Trevor Lawrence, with everything that surrounds him,

2:30.1

and really not much rushing upside, could be a top 12 quarterback unless, like, five guys get hurt. There's rushing ups. What do you mean by rushing upside? I mean, he might run for 250 yards or something. Yeah, right. That's enough to put in. You've got to be a very good passer. And he does not have a number one wide receiver. That's the boldest, I think, of the three. He barely has a number two wide receiver. Yeah, it's the boldest, I think.

2:51.5

He barely has a number two wide receiver. But he's, I'm just, yeah, look, I don't really think it's going to happen, but I don't want to miss out on the year that Trevor Lawrence, Trevor Lance, that'd be a good player. Trevor Lawrence lives up to his pedigree. I would be much more concerned. I'd be much more concerned about missing out on Justin Fields or Trey Lans than I would

3:11.2

be missing out on Trevor Lawrence this year.
