| 0:00.0 | Welcome back, everybody, to the Football Guys Daily Update. You give us 10 minutes. We'll give you everything you need to know to make you the most informed fantasy football player in your league. I'm Mike Dempsey, along with Football Guys' own Bob Harris. And Bob will start out in the Harris family. And I feel like we talked about Najee Harris a lot already this season. But we do get word that he is going to be on the active roster |
| 0:23.8 | off the non-football injury list. So at least he'll be available early in the season. Now that we |
| 0:28.9 | know that, what's your interest level in adding some shares? Increasing. All right. And I think right now, |
| 0:35.3 | this may have been the most fortuitous outcome for fantasy investors. |
| 0:38.6 | And he's going well into the double-digit rounds, 134th pick overall. Look at some of the guys going around him. Jaden Blue going a couple picks ahead of them. I think Najee Harris has a higher floor. Maybe Blue has a higher seniorly. Austin Echler has a pretty well-defined role in that same range. Braylon Allen, we're kind of hoping for a role going right after him. |
| 0:36.8 | I think Harris is a great value, is running back 44 right now, and I think a lot of people are going to regret dialing back this far. The uncertainty made it understandable, but I think at this point, it's going to correct quickly, and the role is going to be robust, even if not week one. I think as we go move forward a little bit, the Amari and Hampton investors are going to correct quickly and the role is going to be robust, even if not week one. |
| 1:12.4 | I think as we go move forward a little bit, |
| 1:09.4 | the Amari and Hampton investors are going to get a little dose of reality at some point soon. Well, yeah, and that's the thing. We don't know if he'll be playing in week one, two, or three. This suggests he'll play by week four. So do you have to see it at least first? |
| 1:14.0 | Or are you willing to put Naji in a flex role in his first active game this year? |
| 1:29.2 | Yeah, I need to see it at least first or are you willing to put nausea in a flex role in his first active game this year yeah i need to see it first like i don't even know you as you said like |
| 1:33.6 | maybe we don't even see him active week one but but but you're right i mean they did this they |
| 1:39.2 | could have put him out four weeks they didn't they expected back sometime before then so |
| 1:43.3 | don't think he'll be playing what are they playing the chiefs in Brazil week one. So I don't think we'll see him there. But any time after that seems fair game and it's worth a roster spot for me to find out that's going to be a super run heavy offense and there'll be rude for both those backs to excel. All right. Recently in Carolina, Tedd-Roll McMillan's been missing a few practices with a hamstring issue, but he was on the field yesterday, Bob, assuming he's going to be good to go moving forward. Do you like McMillan's current price of wide receiver 25 middle of the fifth round? Not that much. Maybe it's less about him and more about the players going either before or even some going after. |
| 2:21.2 | I'm looking at like D.K. Metcalf, Carlos Sutton, Devante Smith, Jameson, some of the players I like an awful lot. |
| 2:27.4 | Now, if you think McMillan's going to rise up and be a true wide receiver one and have the kind of rookie success we've seen from guys like Malik neighbors |
| 2:34.9 | or Brian Thomas Jr. But we didn't expect to be that successful last year, right? So I think |
| 2:39.5 | that's possible. And maybe it depends on how you build your roster. I find myself getting |
| 2:43.4 | almost none of him at this price just because I like so many of the players going a little bit |
| 2:47.8 | ahead of them that I prefer to have with more established roles. |
| 2:56.8 | All right. Let's head to Tennessee here. A couple of different stories. Tage Spears does land on IR. So he's going to miss at least the first four games of the season. Bob, Tony Pollard, |
| 3:01.8 | is backfield made, or maybe we should say it the other way. Spears is Pollard's backfield mate. |
| 3:07.3 | It's currently going going his running back |
