| 0:33.8 | Right now on FFT and 5, Dave's updated running back rankings. Here we go. What's up, Dave, Richard? Let's talk about your running back rankings. I hope you can hear me. Yeah, let's do it. Okay, making some funny gestures over there. All right, what did you do with Brees Hall? Obviously, that's the big story here. And we get a report, just speculation from the athletics, Connor Hughes, that Michael Carter and Brees Hall will be a one-two punch. What does that mean for Brees Hall? Where is he in the rankings? We talked about this on Monday's FFT. He's going to be top 20 for me. I look at him as an immediate number two fantasy running back. I think he's worth putting that type of expectation on. |
| 1:12.0 | I still like running backs like Jacobs, James Connor, still Antonio Gibson, and still |
| 1:16.7 | say Juan Barkley, at least for now, ahead of him. |
| 1:19.6 | But one guy moved him ahead of that, even surprised me, but I'm going to do it and I'm |
| 1:22.9 | going to stick with it, is Cam Acres. |
| 1:25.0 | We just don't know how healthy Cam Acres is. |
| 1:27.5 | And the Rams selecting Kyron Williams tells me that they're interested in moving in a different direction. If Kyron Williams proves to be decent enough to play on passing downs, that's going to hurt Cam Acres. Breece Hall can play on passing downs. I'm sure he will for the Jets. Hopefully he does fine enough. I am okay with Brees Hall as a late third round pick in PPR and as a top 20 running back in fantasy redraft. |
| 1:48.5 | And you did mention Antonio Gibson. |
| 1:50.9 | So what did you do with Gibson as they drafted Brian Robinson? |
| 1:54.5 | I'm getting nervous, man. |
| 1:55.9 | And I think Robinson, it's not that Robinson is this great talent, but he's a physical running back who could mix in. |
| 2:02.0 | And I wonder if between them keeping J.D. McKissick and drafting Robinson, they feel like they have enough to go. |
| 2:09.6 | I'm going to say three-headed monster, but it's going to be to different degrees. |
| 2:12.5 | Gibson will still be their main running back, but maybe they take some work off of them. |
| 2:16.3 | Maybe those physical running downs where it's maybe short yardage goal line, for example, take some work off of them. Maybe those physical running |
