| 0:35.2 | Are they any good anymore? |
| 0:36.4 | Let's talk about some interesting running backs right now on fantasy football today. |
| 0:39.3 | And five. Okay, so you're looking at Ezekiel Elliott. We don't know. He's still the same player. He's always hurt. When he was healthy last year, it's pretty good. Sequin Barclay. We haven't really seen that type of production in a while. David Montgomery, even the yards per carry is scary bad. |
| 0:54.8 | Cam Acres was real bad coming off that Achilles in that type of production in a while. David Montgomery, even the yards per carry, is scary bad. |

| 1:47.8 | And Justin Fields is still a work in progress. But I don't think you can look at him and say, okay, he hasn't shown it once already because he has. Forget about who he did it against. I know the schedule was very favorable. But he has that upside. And so I love him in round three. I think a little bit risky in round two just because of some of the flaws of the team. |
| 1:51.1 | But we're splitting hairs because it would be the back end of round two. But I think he's in the back end of that discussion of Seguan Barclay. |
