Summary

Today, Bobby and Tags spend this super-sized edition of the FantasyPros Football Podcast analyzing our running back Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) and shining some light on which rushers are either ranked too high or too low. Bobby shows his love for both Aaron Jones (55:00) and Ty Montgomery (57:18), but not before showing his concern about the rankings of Alex Collins (36:01), Browns rushers Duke Johnson and Carlos Hyde (38:18), and even Alvin Kamara (13:14). Tags instead justifies his decision to take Alvin Kamara over David Johnson (15:21), questions whether he should rank Ronald Barber II ahead of Kenyan Drake (22:40), goes on a pessimistic rant about Jay Ajayi's generous ranking (30:21), and shares his optimism for Derrius Guice (59:07) and Kenneth Dixon (1:05:32). The duo also displayed unwavering confidence in rookies Saquon Barkley (48:35) and Sony Michel (50:17).

0:38.8	It's pretty nice because the next two weeks, like last week I think I released three
0:42.5	articles this week.
0:43.5	It'll just be three articles.
0:44.5	And I know some people are like, wow, three articles, but that's really slow for me.
0:47.9	So I'm able to start diving into some research.
0:50.2	And when I heard about the topic for today's show talking about the expert consensus and
0:55.0	who we believe that some experts are too high on, who are too low, it's nice because
