Summary

Dalton Del Don is joined by Chris Allen from 4 for 4 football to talk about busts to avoid in the first round, quarterbacks you should steer away from and backup running backs that might be worth a late-round pick on the latest episode of the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast!It’s often said you can’t win your fantasy league in the first round, but you can lose it. Chris and Dalton look through the players projected to be in the mix during the first round of fantasy drafts to highlight any potential landmines and how your first pick sets the tone for the rest of your draft. (03:35)And, Chris walks us through his strategy at the quarterback position, including 3 that he advises you to avoid and 1 he suggests you target late in drafts. (19:30)Every year, a handful of running backs break out from their understudy roles and take over their backfields full-time. Who will be the lucky few this year? Dalton and Chris look through running back depth charts around the league to see who’s rising and could potentially help your fantasy teams — while being had for free in fantasy drafts.

Hello and welcome to the Yahoo fantasy football forecast. I'm Dalton Beldon, joined by our friend

0:09.2

Chris Allen. He's the lead fantasy analyst at 4-4 football, among other places. We're going to talk

0:16.1

about a couple of his columns today. Very excited to bring Chris on, really highlighting his, the main recent

0:22.0

one he had on Yahoo as well that tells you how not to ruin your fantasy team early on.

0:27.4

We're really going to take a deep dive into round one. Man, this is a weird time to do a podcast,

0:32.8

admittedly, Chris, it seems a bit trivial to talk fantasy football, but thanks a lot for joining me. And

0:39.0

yeah, man, thanks again. Yeah, most definitely. And I'll just, I mean, the easiest way is just

0:45.5

to kind of be honest about what's going on around us here at the moment. And for everybody

0:49.4

that's out there kind of paying attention, I would say before you hop up on Twitter and want to start

0:55.2

pontificating and whatnot, just stop, listen, try and be as empathetic as you possibly can be

1:00.4

because there's just a lot of emotion that's out here going on in the world right now.

1:05.5

So I think it's best to try and listen before we react.

1:09.0

That's really all I can say.

1:10.6

Well said, and yeah, treat others

1:12.1

how you'd want to be treated yourself. But yeah, man, really, really trying times right now.

1:17.6

Let's take a little brief moment off and talk some fake football. Headline, one headline today,

1:23.8

David Montgomery getting a carted off the football field. Then that's later saying, well, of course, it's going to be carded because the other practice field was on the other side of the property. But bottom line, it looks like it's not an insignificant injury, but maybe not a season ender. By the time you hear this, it'll be, you know, the news that might be dated. But from what it looks like now, it's some sort of a sports hernia, looking at four to eight weeks. If that's the case, Chris, what have you done on your

1:48.4

running back rankings regarding Montgomery? So I've shifted him down like quite a bit in my

1:53.7

RB rankings at this point. Right now, he was kind of in that gray area where I'm more

1:59.2

interested in the wide receivers that were going around him anyway.

2:02.3

So it would seem like he would be a guy that at most points in the draft, I'd be looking to avoid.

2:06.7

So if you were considering maybe drafting him at some point and from best ball ADP, I was seeing him go, like somewhere in like the fifth-ish round, somewhere around there, I'm still much more happier to take one of the, one of the wide
