| 0:06.0 | We'll talk about it next on Fantasy Football Today in 5. |
| 0:08.8 | Welcome to FFT in 5, I'm Chris Towers, I'm here with Dan Schneire, and Dan, I did |
| 0:15.7 | my fill out the Eagles preview earlier this week, and I'm really starting to get excited |
| 0:22.9 | about Rashad Penny, whose ADP is outside of the top 100, and I know everybody looks at |
| 0:28.0 | him. |
| 0:29.0 | Thanks, DeAndre Swift is going to be the lead back in Philadelphia, but I just look at |

| 1:04.8 | So I just, I look at it and think at least at the start of the season, I think there's |
| 1:07.5 | a pretty good chance for Rashad Penny's in that mild Sanders role, and DeAndre Swift |
| 1:11.9 | is more of a role player, not necessarily a gadget back, but not necessarily as big a part |
| 1:18.8 | of the offense as Rashad Penny. |
| 1:20.8 | Maybe it's 15 carries per game for Rashad Penny with the goal line work versus eight to |
| 1:25.2 | 10, maybe a couple targets for DeAndre Swift. |
