Summary

Christian McCaffrey #1 is the easy call, but should he be drafted ahead of Patrick Mahomes in a 2-QB league? Is there any hesitation in putting Dalvin Cook at #2 (5:00)? We take a look at all of the candidates to finish in the Top 5 including Ezekiel Elliott, Aaron Jones and Austin Ekeler along with the usual names. Who has the most upside (8:00)? Who has the most downside (14;00)? What could go wrong with Alvin Kamara? ... The guys give RB3, RB4 and RB5 (20:24). Cook is not #2 in all formats according to Dave. What about Derrick Henry (31:00)? Do we have any concerns about him or are we willing to accept he is a cyborg? ... News and notes (44:00) as we look at the Jaguars and Broncos RB situations, and Jamey reads some funny tweets (49:00)! ... Your emails at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

But mostly, we're all business here. We're all football.

1:06.6

Christian McCaffrey is going to be number one. We know that. We pretty much know who number

1:11.3

two is going to be as well. But we'll talk about the top five and make some cases for

1:14.6

players who are outside of the top five. Adam Azer with Dave Richard and Jamie Isberg

once again. Guys, what was an easier call for you or were they equally easy? Patrick Mahomes

1:24.1

as QB1 or Christian McCaffrey as RB1. They were equally easy. If you're going to leave

1:57.4

Yeah. I don't think I've done any notes on McCaffrey. He does not require notes. But I

2:09.1

was like non-PPR last year. I don't know. I'll look it up. Let's see. Non-PPR last year.

2:16.5
