| 0:00.0 | You know Mike Davis is moving up in the rankings. |
| 0:02.2 | Who else is moving up or down? |
| 0:04.0 | We'll find out right now on Fantasy Football today in five. Time to look at updated running back rankings after the NFL draft. I teased Mike Davis, but I think we should start with the rookies. Najee Harris, Travis E.T.N., etc. I'm Matt Amazer with Heath Cummings. Thanks a lot for listening. Follow us and stream us on Spotify. anywhere else you listen to podcast. |
| 0:22.3 | Keith, talk to me about the rookies, |
| 0:23.8 | where they end up in your rankings. Najay Harris is a solid number two running back. For me, worth a pick at the two, three turn in a PPR league. Pretty excited about the role that it'll have, uncertain about the efficiency it'll have in that offense. |
| 0:40.2 | But he should have a high percentage of the touches. |
| 0:42.4 | I don't know if there are 320 running back touches available in Pittsburgh, |
| 0:45.8 | but he'll get 80% of whatever there is. |
| 0:49.0 | Travis E.T.N. |

| 0:58.3 | He actually projects closer to 30, but there's this weird group of guys ahead of him |
| 1:04.0 | and the projections, Kareem Hunt, Mike Davis, Chase Edmonds, Melvin Gordon. |
| 1:09.3 | I would rather just draft the upside of ET.T.N. and hope that this whole |
| 1:13.3 | Urban Meyer third downback thing is a smokescreen. So you have E.T.N. ahead of Mike Davis. |
| 1:20.6 | I know you just alluded to it, but let's talk about it a little bit more. And actually, it's very |
| 1:24.7 | close. But yeah, why would you go with E.N over Davis? |
| 1:29.4 | I don't know that there is top 12 upside for Mike Davis. |
| 1:35.0 | I think that exists for Travis Eton. |
| 1:38.1 | If James Robinson just disappears, which in fairness to him, he shouldn't. |
| 1:43.4 | But if that's what Jacksonville does, |
| 1:45.1 | if at some point, week six or seven, Travis E.DN's getting 15 to 20 touches per game, |
