Day two is heavy on wide receivers, light on running backs. Let's talk about it now on fantasy football

Heath, good morning to you, 12 123 in the morning as we record this.

0:23.4

So what's the big fantasy impact of day two as you see it?

0:29.5

I really think it's the fact that Miles Gaskin and Mike Davis still look like starting

0:34.8

running backs and Melvin Gordon now we're not sure if he is.

0:38.7

The change in one backfield and no change in the other.

0:44.3

70% of the touches unless there's an injury.

1:37.9

Trace Ehrman, round 3, 88th

overall to San Francisco.
