| 0:00.0 | Rapid reaction. Let's talk to the pros. |
| 0:16.8 | Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football podcast. |
| 0:20.9 | Rapid reaction time, Andrew Erickson and myself, Joey P. |
| 0:24.8 | Joe P. Zepia taking you through the ins and outs of everything that's gone on in the NFL on this glorious Monday afternoon. |
| 0:33.2 | And if this is how the week is setting up, Andrew Erickson, this is going to be a very busy week for you and myself. |
| 0:38.2 | Yes, I got a lot of sleep this week and even though we lost some time because the daylight savings, unfortunately, |
| 0:43.6 | but the Tom Brady news got us warmed up for the week, got us prepared and I'm ready for the friends. You let's go. |
| 0:48.7 | Well, let's start the frenzy with some running backs and let's start with Chase Edmonds and James Conner. |
| 0:54.7 | One is staying in Arizona. His name is James Conner. So we did get something right on the prediction show, which is nice because some things we did not get right, but we sounded good talking about them. |
| 1:04.7 | James Conner can be back in Arizona. That's a big deal for the Arizona Cardinals now. Chase Edmonds is taking his game to Miami. |
| 1:11.7 | So let's talk first about the guy in the new spot. How is Chase Edmonds fantasy value going to be affected by his move to the Miami dolphins? |
| 1:19.2 | Yeah, I think that you don't see a big change in his terms of his fantasy value. Still think that he's going to be a piece of the backfield. |
| 1:26.8 | I don't think that this is always chase Edmonds season like he's going to take over the backfield. Like he's never been a three down. |
| 1:31.0 | He's never been the guy that they fed all the carries and touches to he's at worst, the receiving back out of the back. And I think that's his strength in part of his game. You look at what he did before he got hurt. |
| 1:42.4 | He was fourth in the NFL and receptions among running backs in the average four catches and five targets per game. He was fantasy RB 21 through the first six weeks of the season. |
| 1:50.7 | Now the one thing that does work in his favor is there's not a lot of competition in Miami right now. Miles Gaskin, Salvat, Ahmed. |
| 1:56.3 | Like he's better than both of those guys and you look at the way that Miami's offensive line is set up. It's not great. His PF's 30th ranked run blocking line last season. |
| 2:05.2 | But the Cardinals were 31st and Chase Edmonds was still able to average five yards per carry last year behind a really bad offensive line. |
| 2:12.8 | So he's used to running behind some of these inefficient offensive lines. So I do think that ultimately he does see work on early downs. |
| 2:18.7 | He is the primary pass catching back. And that's honestly what you want the most because when you look at what Miles Gaskin did last year, whenever Miles Gaskin had a good game is because he caught touchdowns. |
| 2:27.2 | He caught touchdowns. He caught passes out of the back of the two of two has some familiarity with using running backs in the passing game. |
| 2:33.3 | So I think that that's ultimately what you're looking at. I think that we're going to have a decent run scheme with Mike McDaniel there as the head coach. So I like to chase Edmonds a lot. |
