| 0:00.0 | The toughest players to rank in fantasy football in 2021 right now on fantasy football today in 5. |
| 0:10.1 | I'm Adam Azer, just talked for an hour with Dave Richard and Liz Loza of Yahoo about some of the toughest players to rank. |
| 0:16.8 | This is a little bit of a bonus. We'll talk about a few more that didn't get discussed on the hour-long show. I want to start with one day that I have a lot of trouble with. And we did this Twitter poll. I did this Twitter poll. Who would you rather have Joe Mixen or Antonio Gibson? And it's basically 50-50 now. Gibson's slightly, slightly ahead. But I just think, I can't believe how high people are on Antonio Gibson. I find him difficult to |
| 0:39.3 | evaluate because J.D. McKissick is there because Ryan Fitzpatrick, he threw to Miles Gaskin, |
| 0:44.0 | but he doesn't have a great history of throwing to running backs. Um, because I'm still not entirely |
| 0:48.5 | convinced Dave that he's not a wide receiver masquerading as a running back. He was very pedestrian |
| 0:52.6 | when he wasn't facing the |
| 0:54.3 | worst run defenses in football, basically, in Dallas and Cincinnati. So taking him over Joe |
| 0:58.7 | Mixon is blasphemy to me, but not to half of my Twitter audience. So I find Gibson difficult, |
| 1:05.4 | do you? No, but I do have Mixin one spot ahead of Gibson. |
| 1:11.1 | I'm willing to forgive Mixen for past transgressions and let him back into my fantasy roster |
| 1:17.1 | if it's available between him and Gibson. |
| 1:21.8 | And I get where you're coming from. |
| 1:23.7 | I'm going to say the Washington football team thinks of him as a running back and not a receiver after he scored 11 touchdowns for them, had 206 touches last year, 170 of them came off of handoffs, and he averaged 4.7 yards per carry. |
| 1:37.5 | I actually think there's more for him to do. |
| 1:39.5 | I think he can be a little bit more efficient. |
| 1:41.4 | He only had four games last year with more than 14 carries. |
| 1:45.0 | He only had 36 catches. I think there's room for him to get more targets in this offense. |
| 1:48.6 | That's why he's difficult to me because people are just projecting this and he hasn't done it. |
| 1:52.6 | I think he's a talented enough player who, by the way, was second best in the NFL in attempts per broken tackle. |
| 1:59.7 | Second to Mike Davis in that stat, |
| 2:02.5 | that makes me believe that he can still create yards and get more work, whether it's a small |
