Dave, I want your top five.

And from five to four to three to two to one, who's number five?

Number five is still Alexander Madison, despite the fact that he's kind of let us down in the past when Dalvin Cook has missed time. And he doesn't necessarily get a ton of time when Dalvin Cook is

healthy. But I do believe that if Dalvin Cook were to miss extensive time, Madison would

step up, especially in a Minnesota offense that should run the ball a little bit more, throw

the ball a little bit less this year. I think he'd be okay. He's number five for me. Number four, Gus the bus

Edwards in Baltimore, who isn't exactly a handcuff. And we talked about it on the podcast, the full

length version. I call them handcuffs plus. These are running backs who will play. Maybe they get

10 touches per week. Maybe it's a little bit less than that. But they've got potential to give you

something in fantasy. Maybe if you're really desperate for a flex spot and a non or a half ppr,

they could come through. Yeah, Gus is going to do that. He's going to get a little bit of playing

time every single week. But if J.K. Dobbins were to go on a trip to Australia and miss a football game, then Gus Edwards would be in line to get a lot of work. We've seen him to succeed when he's had a lot of work in the past. He's a good short yardage goal line runner. He's someone that I don't mind taking whether I have Dobbins or not. All right. So it's five, Madison, four Edwards. who's number three? Number three is AJ Dylan. And it wouldn't surprise me if by the end of the preseason, he would be closer to one. Because I like how he's going to have a role in this Green Bay offense. We saw the Packers used two running backs last year. It was Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams. Williams left to go to Detroit. He was a good

pass catcher out of the backfield. I don't think that that's Dylan's forte. I think Aaron Jones

will do a lot of that, but Dylan can pick up work in short-yardage situations. He's like a
