| 0:33.7 | We'll get some updated projections after free agency and trades on FFT and 5. Adam and Heath here to talk about some of the latest projections, some of the ones that may have been, I don't know, kind of difficult, they're kind of surprising, kind of aggressive when it looks at Zach Ertz and Jujis Smith-Schuster. Heath, let's start with the Cleveland Browns trading for Deshawn Watson. You've talked a little bit about Nick Chubb. You're probably a little bit lower on him. We never really talk about Kareem Hunt, though. |
| 0:56.6 | So what do you have for Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt? |
| 1:00.2 | Yeah, I've got them much closer than I expected to have. But whenever they've both played, |
| 1:04.5 | they've been pretty close in actual results. So I guess that isn't surprising. But right |
| 1:07.8 | now, Chub is basically at RB20 20 at about uh 229 fantasy points and kareem hunt at |
| 1:15.8 | rb 26 at about 2007 really about a point and a half per game or a point per game separating them |
| 1:23.8 | which again i think is pretty consistent with the time they've spent on the field together |
| 1:27.6 | there's a variety of things that makes them difficult to project, but it's mostly just that they |
| 1:33.2 | have been a team that has been extremely run heavy, and those runs have been dominated by these |
| 1:38.6 | two running backs when they've been healthy. |
| 1:40.8 | And now they're adding to Sean Watson for the largest guaranteed contract ever, which suggests to me that they might want to throw the ball more than they have in the past. |
| 1:49.7 | Watson has not been someone who has targeted his running backs in the passing game all that much, as you would expect from a quarterback with a big arm who's also very mobile. |
| 1:58.9 | And Chubs never really earned targets at any sort of rate at all. |
| 2:02.8 | So I think you worry about Watson taking 20, 25% of the rush attempts for the team, |
| 2:09.5 | the total number of rush attempts coming down, |
