Welcome in to Fantasy Focus Football. Today's show is presented by Geico. Switch to Geico. See all the ways that you could save. It is Monday, August 28th. My name is Daniel Dopp, holding down the studio seemingly all by myself.

Usually my friend Field Jates or my clay or Stefania Bell is here, but now I'm all alone in the studio. And when that happens, it means only one thing. It means that our good friend Liz Loza is joining us for this show is so glad that you are here. How are you doing kid is great to see your face.

Uh oh, we can't hear you were about to. There we go. Sorry, start again. I am doing wonderfully and I am excited for a cross country connection here.

Oh yeah, it's going to be a ton of fun. A jam packed show we have here today. We're going to talk about some of the drafts that you and I have done a little bit of news right off the top. And we're going to go into a segment called smash or pass in which we tell you who we would rather draft over a couple of different choices.

We also got a few things from the props that pops column that we have been doing together this year list. So a lot of really exciting things on board. First and foremost, though, if you are listening to the show and you want to watch us head on over to the NFL on ESPN YouTube page.

Last week we asked you guys to help us get up over 200,000 subscribers. Guess what you freaking came through. We did it. You got us over 200,000. So now that means it's time for a new milestone. Let's get to 250.

Let's keep on pumping this thing NFL on ESPN in case you want to watch it. Otherwise, you can find us everywhere that you listen to podcasts. All right, Liz Loza.

We're going to jump in first and foremost and talk about the news. We got plenty of time for nonsense as we go into the show. There's so much time for us to do things.

But let's dive right in because we had some news last week. I want to make sure that we cover Josh Jacobs officially signed a new deal. One year deal up to 12 million dollars with per game bonuses attached to it.

We've been waiting to make sure that Josh Jacobs is going to be back on the field and his ADP has slid because of this situation. So now that he is officially under contract.

I know what I've done with him. I'll tell you that afterwards. Have you changed your outlook on Josh Jacobs at all.

I moved him up slightly in my rankings. I have him at I believe RBS seven. He's not seven or eight really. It's like whether I feel like ranking him just ahead of or just behind Derek Henry.

But that's sort of the tear that I've moved him back up into.

Yeah, I am totally with you there. I think right now I have him as my RB eight right behind the Nick Chubb Tony Pollard Derek Henry in that same range.

And part of that is because I know he finished as running back three last year. But the reason why he did that was because of like insane volume almost 400 touches last year.

And I'm expecting some regression every time you see that amount of volume from a player. I'm just expecting a little bit of regression the following year, which is why we don't have them up at RB three.

Why is more at the back half of those RB ones.

Well, that's also why I mentioned Derek Henry because Derek Henry is maybe the only running back right the anomaly to this 300 rushing attempt rule.

Yeah, you usually see backs who commanded over 300 rushing attempts regressed pretty considerably.

You know, the colloquial phrase would be that the juice is not there for them so much you need to think about Zeke Elliott in this situation right.

Derek Henry is the anomaly. So that's why I have him ranked just ahead of Jacobs, but yes, he's coming off of a 340 rush attempt season in which nobody believed in him and he proved to be an incredible value.

But now I think if you do draft him, you know, within your top six, you're probably drafting him at peak value.
