Welcome in everybody to fantasy pros. This is the fantasy football podcast. It's me,

Joe EP, Joe peace, and today we got a little micro cast for you. Everybody's talking about

all the rookies because the shiny new toys are going to make huge impact on the NFL,

but not every new toy is going to work. Sometimes you got to return them back to the

store. Sometimes there's a piece missing and you get frustrated. Sometimes it just takes

a little bit longer for some of the youth of the NFL to find their way. So today my good

drop inside the top 50 running backs inside the top 150 overall players. So from a third round

perspective, he's not really hitting the marks I'm looking for. And when I look at him as an
