Man, RBs are tough to rank! Six of our 8 "toughest to rank" players are RBs. Before we get into that, Ben weighs in on how the altered training camp and lack of preseason games will impact rookies (2:00). Will he be moving Jonathan Taylor down in his rankings? And while we're on the subject, Heath says that D'Andre Swift and Cam Akers are very difficult to rank (8:25) ... Let's move on to Jamey's players (19:40) as he says Raheem Mostert and A.J. Green are tough to rank. Does Mostert have a lot of upside? Will Joe Burrow hold Green back? ... Ben discusses Tylger Higbee (29:30) and Aaron Jones (35:25). We have a long discussion about Jones and why he's so tricky. And finally, we read Dave's players (48:15) even though he's not on the show! ... Your emails at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
