Good morning, friends and enemies. It is Monday morning. It is bright and early and the NFL

preseason week one games are in the books. And I want to be the first to get those updates out to y'all.

So we're talking about some of my biggest ranking changes based on injuries that happened over the

weekend, based on some snap counts that I think y'all should be privy to. And again, when it comes to

preseason, we don't want to overreact. We don't want to go crazy. We don't care about stat lines. We don't care about how this guy look. You're not going to know with the naked eye if this starting quarterback with his starting offensive line is playing against third string or fourth string defensive backs who are not even going to make the roster. that is a surefire way to mess your rankings up if you are going too heavy into that type

of stuff. But I do think it's important to know like this guy ran 95% of the snaps with the

starting quarterback because coaches for the most part are trying to play their guys with their

starting team and see what their offense looks like in that capacity.

So today we have between 10 and 15 biggest ranking movers following week one of preseason.

Let's start with the injuries. I think those are the most practical takeaways for you all.

And before we dive into it, if you ever want my rankings for your draft, they are available in our draft guide right now on BDGE.C.O. It is at full price, but you can get it heavily discounted. If you go to the Partners Offers button in the top right and you qualify for the very, very discounted Partners Offers. So you'll get our rankings, but I also do an in-depth article and everything that happen in the preseason games if you want more of what you hear in this video today. The biggest injury, I would say, was to Taj Spears of the Tennessee Titans carded off the field into the locker room. It has since been stated that he has suffered a high ankle sprain. This is obviously important for Tony Pollard, right? Because I think Tajay Spears was likely going to end up being the past catching back or the third down back in this

offense. And it doesn't mean that he's out for the year, right? A high ankle sprain is typically

somewhere in like the four to six week range. But when it happens this late into August, this tends to linger into the beginning of the year. And this tends to be something that players push themselves back from too early to get onto the field. And we know Taj spent all of last year year battling lower leg injuries and trying to return from them and it fucked up his entire season. So this is going to push Taj Spears pretty much all the way down on those handcuffs that we might have drafted. He's going to be pushed down. Tony Pollard, I think, becomes a really, really high floor running back to now because I do think a lot of the momentum for Taj Spears or split backfield is kind of completely zapped at this point. If you look back to

the games in the middle of the season that Taj Spears missed last year, Tony Pollard's

snap count went up from 65% all the way to above 85%. If there is a running back getting 85% or more of the snaps in a particular backfield,

it doesn't actually matter to me what offense they are in because those types of guys

do not really exist in the NFL anymore.

An opportunity share that high is going to net you 14, 15 ppr fantasy points per game,

regardless of what offense you're in.

And if Cam Ward can

prop this offense up to be an average or just 17th best offense in the NFL and you're a running

back getting 80 plus percent of the snaps, that guy's going to smash. So I do think this is impactful
