We got a bunch of injuries to talk about for week three next on fantasy football today in five.

0:11.5

Welcome to FFT in five. I'm Chris Towers. I'm here with Adam Azer and boy,

0:17.1

this is there's not a lot positive to take away from Monday night football and we're not really going to talk about the

0:23.7

Monday night football games except for of course, Nick Chubs seemingly very serious injury. He had suffered a serious

0:32.1

injury in college, suffered a serious injury to the same knee today had to be carted off. I'm assuming his

0:37.5

season's done. This is just it's a real bummer. It's been kind of a messy couple of weeks to open the

0:44.2

NFL season. A lot of injuries, a lot of guys missing time and this is the most serious one so far.

0:51.3

Drum Ford looked really good today. Rush for a hundred and six yards and sixteen carries. Obviously,

0:56.4

this is a Browns team that has run the ball really, really well for the most part over the past

1:01.2

couple of seasons. Adam, do you think the Browns are going to roll with Jamal drum Ford as their lead

1:07.2

RB moving forward and is he the clear top target on waivers heading into week three?

1:13.8

Yes, the both of those and when I've looked at the last few years, the Chubb played 17 games last

I remember how good the Ernest Johnson looked in this offense. Terrific. And not only that, I mean,

1:31.2

Karim Hunt, the Ernest Johnson, they were just the lead backs. They did not share. I mean, it was very,

1:37.6

very, very little role for a number two running back there. So they've shown in the past. They're

1:42.4

willing to go and have a Karim Hunt's different than Jerome Ford, but Jerome Ford is 69 yard run today.

1:47.6

He caught a touchdown. He went over 100 yards. He had a really good day. I mean, this was his

1:51.2

audition. Yeah, he's going to be the guy. I think the only one that really looms out there is

1:56.4

is Karim Hunt. It makes a lot of sense for them to bring him back. But at this point, what does Karim

2:00.9

Hunt have left in the tank? I think Jerome Ford might be the best waiver wire pickup of the season.

2:06.2

Yeah. I think he's the kind of guy that you have to be really aggressive. If you have 90% of your
