Let's finish up our running backs preview part two right now on fantasy football today in five.

0:09.2

I'm Atabezer with Jamie Eisenberg.

0:11.4

All right, so Jamie, we did part one yesterday.

0:13.1

This is part two.

0:13.9

And on the full-length show, we talked about really everything but the top five or six running backs.

0:18.5

But when you look at starting with, say, the Nick

0:22.1

Chub, Jonathan Taylor, Joe Mix, and Antonio Gibson group through the next round or two, right? The

0:28.0

Chris Carson, Josh Jacobs, Miles Gaskin group. How many of those running backs do you typically

0:34.3

have on your team? Do you just maybe one? Let's say you take a running back in the first round and then you take one more and then

0:40.3

you wait a while or like how do you approach it with that group?

0:43.4

Most likely it's just one of those guys.

0:45.8

You know, unless I'm picking in the front end of the top of the first round and two of them are available back end of the second, beginning part of the top of the first round and two of them are available back end of the second beginning

0:57.1

part of the third of the first group of guys that you mentioned. So in the rare instance,

1:01.3

when the Colts injuries first happened and Jonathan Taylor was falling pretty far in drafts, or

1:07.0

you know, the early part of the offseason when Antonio Gibson was still available, I'll throw Clyde Edwards allaire into that group as well. And now in the part of the drafts where I've come around a little bit on David Montgomery with the Tariq Cohen situation. So if I want to go three running backs to start my team or running back, receiver running back, I'll end up taking two of those guys in the early third. Again, if I'm picking it the early part of the first round.

1:28.0

But for the most part, it's probably just one of those guys in totality, simply because I don't like to take three running backs in a row, and typically I'm going to take a running back in the first round. Okay, you really like Miles Gaskin. We had a nice debate about Miles Gaskin. What is it that you're sold on?

1:43.9

I think just what we saw last year in the offseason.

1:46.1

You know, last year when he was the guy, he was the guy, you know, and so after week three, when he took over the job from Jordan Howard, every time he was healthy, he appeared in 10 games. He was on pace for over 800 rushing yards and over 600 receiving yards. And as I told you in the full length show, only one running back did that for the season.

2:01.6

That was Alvin Kamara.

2:02.5

So, you know, if you tell me he's got that type of potential, 60 plus catches as well, the Dolphins told us this offseason. I think that they feel comfortable with him. The group as a whole, you know, by bringing in only Malcolm Brown. And from what I was told, Malcolm Brown hasn't been doing very much in terms of, you know, as an offensive player.

2:19.0

So I think Gaskin's in line to be that guy. Malcolm Brown. And from what I was told, Malcolm Brown hasn't been doing very much in terms of, you know, as an offensive player.

2:19.0

So I think Gaskin's in line to be that guy. Brian Flores seems to like him. That's what he told Pete Priscoe when he was down to Miami.
