| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to CFF fancy football podcasts. I'm your host, Ian Hartz, and today we continue |
| 0:12.8 | our fantasy files series with a look at how things can go wrong for each of the top 12 |
| 0:17.6 | running backs based on PFF's consensus ranks. If you missed the first part of this |
| 0:22.4 | mini series, I did quarterbacks on the Saturday release, excuse me. And yeah, basically |
| 0:28.0 | the moral of why I'm doing this is that I really believe you can talk up almost any |
| 0:32.9 | player in the league. These are all professional athletes. If they have even like 10 games |
| 0:36.8 | of film on them, you can probably find enough highlights to make a minute long clip. And |
| 0:40.8 | when we say someone sucks, it's relative to all the other professional high caliber athletes |
| 0:46.0 | out there. So even guys, you know, Caleb Belage, Hunter Renfrow, Chris Herndon, like I went |
| 0:51.3 | through just examples and a quarterback one that I won't rehash again, you can still |

| 1:07.7 | done it with your friends before. That's not the point of this episode. I want to talk |
| 1:11.1 | about the worst case scenarios for these guys to make sure you're considering the whole |
| 1:14.9 | picture. Please don't confuse this with me fading these guys. I'm not telling you to fade |
| 1:19.4 | each of the top 12 running backs, just like some people saw my guys list and thought, |
| 1:24.7 | oh, Ian, you idiot. Why would you take these guys like not ranked inside the top 12? Maybe |
| 1:29.4 | I should have done a my guys list and just had, you know, Christian McCaff, where you |
| 1:32.7 | Patrick of a home's Devonte Adams and left that that anyway, going to go through the top |
| 1:37.6 | 12 running backs and talk through where things could potentially go wrong. Spoiler alert |
| 1:42.5 | for a lot of these guys, they have no volume that I think they'll be just fine, barring |
