The X factor with McCaffrey is he's the Panthers best WR. From his all time 3 cone to film, he's the best receiving RB to come out in a long time. He would've been a 1st-2nd round WR. If the Panthers want to win/contend, he should be playing every down regardless if it's RB, slot WR, or split out wide. While his ADP is high I can definitely see the upside scenario of where he gets 100 targets. Nice video though & I agree with the rest. Lamar Miller...barf.
I'm getting Woodhead in the 8th and 9th in my drafts. I will take him all day long there with Dixon being out first 3 games. I think Woody eats this year.
You know why? Because word will get out how great he looks with no problems with his knee. I see Woody ( staying healthy of course) 70-80 receptions 5-7 tds. Flacco is already raving about him saying they haven't had a back like him since Ray Rice.
First video of yours that I have watched. Nice video and very insightful! I agree with all of these picks also, I believe Melvin Gordon is probably the riskiest player in the first round, it's either him or Mike Evans. I also have absolutely no idea why people keep drafting Frank Gore so high. I know he finishes in the top 20 every year, but on game by game basis, he is horrible. plus he has no league winning upside. I would much rather have CJ prosise in a ppr league and hope he wins the job. best case scenario prosise is a poor man's David Johnson, worst case scenario he is a 3rd down back who gets you 9 points a game (pretty much Frank gore).
Solid video with good reasoning. Looks like people are upset because their favorite running backs are on this list haha. I won with Frank Gore on my team 3 years in a row, and unfortunately I'm going to have to let him pass this year. Last year drafted him as a trademark for my team but if I'm aiming for #4 he's just not viable. Look forward to watching these vids in the future. Not sure if you do DFS videos but with this sort of analysis you'd get solid views and would profit if you have a basic understanding of stats/football/game theory
Oh I play plenty of DFS! I'm so excited for the DK week one slate to open up. I'll definitely make a video for week one. No idea what's going on the rest of the year yet. I'll be posting my lineups to talk over in our private chat though and writing an article each week for the premium members of our site
I have gotten Woodhead last 4 seasons with a really late pick. He was my #2 back early in the season. That was pretty good because I went with a no running back statagy in my PPR league
He's been a bust two of the past 3 seasons due to injury. Love the player and it's a great fit. But he's getting up there and hasn't proven he can stay healthy
So if Danny woodhead isn't worth drafting cuz he's not the long term option, are you down on jacquizz rodgers at his adp as well? Great vid as usual btw
No I think if Doug is healthy then Rodgers really has no value. If Doug gets hurt though then Rodgers is a good guy to have on the bench. He posted some good numbers last year but he's fairly mediocre. Doug is better
I'm a 49er fan I think Gore shouldn't be picked over a lot of players but he will be consistent. He got a lot of carries & passes goal line looks. He was never a pure speed guy and having a backup QB and still putting up good numbers is a pro. I agree I had him 5-6 last year 7-8 he be someone I draft as a 3rd RB after team is full if not 4th RB.
Need advice! I Pick 12 in a 12 man PPR league. Format below. What should I do? Freeman, Ajayi, Gordon, Howard, Michael Thomas, Dez, Demarco, etc. QB RB WR TE Flex Flex Flex K D
I'd go WR heavy in that format. You can start 4 WR and only one RB if you want. I'd be targeting whoever is left of Green, Nelson, Evans, and Thomas. If only one is available then I'd take one RB and one WR
It makes any RB that will get volume extremely valuable. So DJ, Bell, and Zeke are the 100% clear cut top 3. It also makes Gurley a lot more viable. I still don't like Miller a ton but he would definitely be worth drafting. Melvin would be fine in a league like that. You basically have to lock up two stud RB's with those settings. So you can't be as picky
Love the video and I always enjoy hearing others perspectives on players. With that said can you please help me out. I am in a keeper league and trying to decide who to keep out of Hunter Henry (14th round pick) or Corey Coleman ( who would be a 9th round pick). Any advice would be appreciated.
Fantasy Football Advice I agree that neither are ideal as of this year. My biggest question is which one I think has the most value in the long run and which I could redraft this year close to the same draft position as to where I would keep them at. What round do you see Corey Coleman being drafted at this year? So many sites have so many different adp so it's hard to get a decent grasp. I have done plenty of mocks but they are all so inconsistent. Thanks for the reply and thanks for the videos.
He's going later than the 9th. That's why I picked Henry. At least you are getting a slight deal on him. And he has a chance to be a stud in a year or two
Carlos Hyde and Willie Snead for Jordy Nelson. What side do u like? Half point ppr. 3 WR 2 Rb and a flex. Rbs are ajayi, McCoy, Zeke, Hyde, Terrance West, Derrick Henry and samaje Perine. WR are Antonio Brown, Sammy Watkins, Garcon, Snead, Kenny Britt and Kevin White. I have Mike Williams on IR currently.
Jordy is the best option of the bunch but I like them all. I'd be fine with a Jordy/(Freeman, Howard, Murray) combo. Whichever RB is left after the turn
The chargers head coach is a former running back. He wants to take pressure off of rivers by running the ball. They improved the o line. I don't see any reason not to draft Gordon high unless he gets hurt
This is completely out of context with the video which is fantastic by the way. Doing some digging during my graveyard shift and I got thinking, why on earth haven't I heard of a single analyst talk about Jordan Matthews and his potential value that he holds out of the slot in Philly? The guy is supremely talented and one of the premier slot guys in the NFL and they just acquired Alshon who will take an immense amount of pressure off of him with Carson Wentz looking to take a step forward, I see a guy drafted mostly in the double digit rounds who could return value in a pretty big way in PPR leagues.
Ya he's a good pick late. I think people are putting too much stock into Smith. He's a fine deep threat but he isn't going to take many targets. And if Alshon gets hurt then Matthews will be a huge steal. And even if he doesn't he has the slot role secure. Not a bad pick at all
Frank Gore will be the safest 15-20 points you'll get on a weekly basis and doesn't cost much. And he's going to do it at age 34, and he's going to do it while finishing 4th all time in rushing yards this year.
Did you just say Gore is going to get 20 a game? There were 3 RB's that did that last season. DJ/Bell/Zeke. Please use some logic when writing comments
NFL Universe Hyde is no bust. Hyde plays better then any rb in the league with terrible qb play. He actually plays better the worse his qb is. He's underrated and a rare combo of speed and violence.
Edward Brito Crowell over Hyde is a must!!! Browns have One of the best OL in the league, top 5.... Hyde ALWAYS gets injured.. I love Crowell over Hyde
Do you feel fitz has upside at his current adp? What round would you draft fitz in? Then with gore he has upside if he is the 30th rb off the board he could finish top 20 rbs in ppr and non ppr formats. His value goes away though if marlon mack or someone else gets involved.
That's the issue. I think Mack has a decent sized role in the offense. As far as Fitz I think he's a good pick. Better in ppr than in standard but I like his ADP in both. He's also a great trade candidate because his first month schedule is so easy. The players I have ranked right ahead of him are T.Hill, Crowder, Diggs, and Tate. But he is right in the same tier as those guys
Ok so i just had my draft and the third round came around and then 4th roumd cam about i already have zeke and murray, i look in the with my 3rd pick in the 4th round (there were 10 players in my league) and melvin gordon was there? I took him. How was that pick. Good? Bad? Great?
Ya his finish is always fine but I'd rather someone who plays two less games and gets the same amount of points. Just no ceiling. His points are coming purely off volume and the volume won't be there as much this year
it doesn't matter what he finishes at the end of the year. the only reason he finishes well is he never gets hurt. But by all means if you want to roster an RB who will get you 9 or 10 points a week but has abosuletly 0 chance of going off, then go ahead. That's not how you win leagues though.
Danny Woodhead (Age 32 and injury prone) taken before Adrian Peterson age 31 (also injury prone) but is one of the greatest running backs EVER.. I don't understand the logic.
I'd put the top 3 RB's, McCoy, Freeman, and the top 3 WR's before Gordon hands down for sure.. but at 9 I'm basically forced to choose between Gordon, Nelson, Evans (who I expect major regression from), and AJ Green... you can say Green's not injury prone all you want but a guy who's missed time in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 is at least a slight injury risk in my eyes. I won't argue with you if you go AJ Green before Gordon, but I can make plenty of arguments against both guys.. I mean my perspective is from half PPR too though (that way WR's aren't worthlesss if they don't get a TD or 100 yards.. but they still need to do more than go 5 for 50 weekly to be a fantasy stud like in full PPR), so that may skew things slightly more in favor of the RB. With the way mocks are starting to shift hard towards RB, if you don't get 3 "good" RBs in the first 5 rounds you're pretty much SoL (in anything less than full PPR anyway).. Generally I say go against the grain and draft value but after the big 3 wr's I start to strongly favor the RB.. you can still get Baldwin, Watkins, Pryor, Crowder, etc in rounds 3-6.. then still have plenty of options in the later rounds at WR.. worst case scenario if you hit on 4 of your RBs you can always trade one of them for a stud WR.. good luck trading a stud WR for a stud RB come mid season.. My point is; Who are the 4-5 guys you think should beyond a reasonable doubt go before Gordon? IMO everyone between pick 9 and 14 can be the same thing.. huge upside tied to risk and question marks.. Green is the one guy I'll say may deserve the 9 spot ahead of him purely on upside but I think I'd rather get a RB in that spot and take a shot on a guy like Watkins later on than go Green and take a shot on Hyde.
In full point I have the top 12 ranked: DJ, Bell, Zeke, Brown, Julio, Odell, McCoy, Green, Jordy, Evans, Freeman, Gordon In Standard I have the top 12 ranked: DJ, Zeke, Bell, Brown, Odell, Julio, McCoy, Freeman, Jordy, Green, Evans, Gordon I'd take him in the second, but right now he's at 9 and I think that could move to the 7-9 range. I've seen him go as high as 5th
Fantasy Football Advice I mean I fully agree with him being no early than 9th overall.. I just view a lot of those guys as borderline interchangeable.. I'm one of those guys who's super low on Evans this year.. I put him after Green, Nelson, and Gordon.. it's just those 3 guys are hard for me to decide between and Gordon is the riskiest.. and I do put Green ahead of Nelson in half ppr and I very well may still decide to take Green 9th.. I'm just saying I don't absolutely hate Gordon 9th.. it's the earliest I'd take him for sure but it'll come down to ADPs and how I anticipate my team turning out come draft day.. if I think can get Gordon round 1 and Nelson/Green in round 2 then I'll probably take that chance.. I've been seeing Gordon Murray, Ajayi, and Howard all go before Green and Nelson lately.. I just hate when I go Green then RB's just start flying off the board and I get Nelson.. I like that start but I hate when i get to round 3 and Hyde is the only guy left on the board with tons of WR value all around him.. I'm just trying to avoid the RB Zero trap I fall into by going against the grain in rounds 1/2..
Ya it's ideal to get a RB in one of the first two rounds. It was easy early in the summer. But casual fans are going to see videos about how you need to lock up a RB early and we are going to see it go back to the days of almost all RB's in the first. At that point all the value is being sucked out of some of these guys. I do agree though that Melvin, Green, Evans and Jordy are all fairly similar
Not drafting Frank Gore just because of his age is ridiculous. Of course age is a factor for injury risk and the 6th round is a little too high, but he was one of the most consistent running backs every year for as long as I can remember. People made the same case last year with Robert Turbin, and look what happened. Sure, he's old, but to not draft him at all is just stupid, considering it's based nothing other than age. I guess we should be hesitant about drafting Tom Brady because he's 40.
It's not just the age. His two most inefficient seasons have been his last two. And RB's get less and less productive as they get more carries (once they pass 28 is where the bigger drop offs happen). He would be fine if we could project 230+ touches. But I think Mack has a decent role. Especially on third downs.
Fantasy Football Advice I agree completely that his ceiling is not very high. But Frank Gore is not someone you draft expected crazy upside. What he's been is a solid and consistent RB that you use as a potential flex position or replacement for an injured RB2. I would say that rounds 7 or 8 are more appropriate, but I think he has a lot of worth there. Plus, we don't know whether or not Mack could be a total bust or not, the majority or rookie running backs usually are.
Well he did finish as the RB12 in standard leagues, above Isaiah Crowell, Lamar Miller, and Todd Gurley, all of which who are being drafted around Round 3 in 12-team leagues. Additionally, we have no evidence of injury for Gore, so we're only basing the injury risk on other RB's of similar age. The reason why he may not drop off is because he's never been a Top 5 RB in the first place. I don't see how people can justify drafting an injury-riddled Sammy Watkins in round 3 or 4, but then say that Gore in round 7 or 8 is too high a price.
So I agree with you on #5 and #4 I love woodhead but I agree that 6th Rd is too soon 9th is probably great. Since I go WR 1st 3 picks (PPR) I won't get Melvin but dude that consistently get hurt I try to avoid unless they drop in the draft. Frank Gore is too old this is a young man sport rather go with your dude Mixon from Cinn. Great video subscribe to HanzDownSports
Fantasy Football Advice I doubt Howard will average as many yards per carry as he did last year and Carlos Hyde is on the 49ers so I wouldn't count on him to do much
Omar Monelle not too mention he keeps stressing why will he produce more when he's getting less work!? Because they admitted they overworked him. He was playing beat up.
Miller is going to crush it - with an upgraded QB & Hopkins bouncing back Miller should see more running room. He should get around 15 carries and 3-4 catches a game which should put in in the area of 90 total yards & every so often a TD. The offense will be better so he should get more opportunities for TD's. Brock was a nightmare last year - not going to happen again
If woodhead doesn't get injured, he'll be the best player on the ravens. I can't see him not finishing the season with roughly 900 running and 900 receiving yards. He's going to be huge. And Frank Gore?! Come on man, this feels like you just don't play fantasy football. He's the #1 running back and he finishes every year way ahead of where everyone ranks him. Woodhead will be a low RB1 or high RB2, Frank Gore will be a low RB2. It's a guarantee with the exception of injuries.
J.P. Michaels Frank Gore is the kind of player you pick in the 7th because you realize he finished 12th last year (due strictly to volume, which he won't have this year), only to drop him after week 3 because someone else breaks out/Marlon Mack takes the job from him. He is probably the only player being drafted in the first 8 rounds with literally zero upside.
+Fantasy Football Advice how about ajayi as a keeper from previous draft year over cam Newton. I think cam is going to have a year similar to 2015 and being a bit lighter and faster = more red zone touchdowns he'll take in.
Fantasy Football Advice look at what happened with Todd gurley in his second year, he was THE MAN on the rams, doesn't mean he is having a good year especially with the bum offense..you have to recognize the same risk with Howard..not to mention gordon is clearly THE MAN on the chargers better offense with the improving o-line?
Ricky not saying Gordon is great or anything but I just see a lot of similarities between Howard and gurley 2nd year cuz glennon and their receivers are terrible. He is a beast tho I agree with that
PackAholicsAnonymous gurley is a beast lol it wasn't his fault he had a down year the rams had the worst o line in the league last year. Melvin Gordon just isn't that good of an rb when u compare him to gurley and other rbs
I got Gordan 15th Overall or Something :D And My 2. Rounder was T.Y Hilton 😃 ... I also Picked Woodhead but i thing in the 9th Round or Something ... And i got Mixon and Rex Burkhead ... i probably went a litte to risky 😁 what do you thing ??
Just had my draft and was able to snag both julio jones and antonio brown so i had to take a risk on my running backs and i drafted melvin gordon and isaiah crowell, i also have tevin coleman and derrick henry im looking to trade either Emmanuel sanders or allen robinson for a better rb any suggestions?
@2:58 he quotes "Cam hasn't run the ball much in RECENT YEARS". The word "years" is plural, meaning more than 1, so let's go back 2 seasons to 2015. Cam had 132 RA attempts for 636 yds and 10 TDs STFU!!!
Exactly. Some people just don't know what THE FUCK they're talking about. I'm going to laugh when his predictions are proven false. Just listen to his voice, he seems like he whines a lot. Especially about his own picks.
your mind is trained Soo much to think a fantasy football type of way first...but comm'on man. you would be wrong if you were talking regular football. u do have good angles sometimes..
Every type of list and outlook is 100% fantasy. If you are in the NFL then you are an elite talent. But based on draft position players can still be a bust even if they post a solid football season. The channel isn't football GM advice. It's fantasy football advice
Gore finished rb 12 last season in our league..And was drafted in the 7th round...How the hell do you pass on that? Thats value at its best. Sorry, But out of the 5...thats the 1 i will disagree. Until gore shows he cannot be a rb2 anymore. I will def continue to target him in the 7th round...7th round!? #Value.
It all came on volume and the volume won't be there as much. If you want 6 points per week with no upside then sure do it. But he will not be a RB 1 and he has a very small chance at being a RB 2
Ray Colón except if you really look at the stats on a game by game basis, Frank Gore was actually complete garbage. the only reason he finishes 12th is because he never gets hurt. I would 10/10 times rather draft a high upside running back like, CJ prosise, over Frank Gore. But by all means if your okay getting barely 9 points a game from an RB then go ahead and take Gore. That's not how you win leagues though.
Sean Douglas I agree, Gordon is going to have a fantastic season. He's in a great situation for a RB. I don't see a td regression at all. Coach Lynn has raved about Gordon all off season and he's going to ride Gordon, like he did with Shady McCoy in Buffalo. For me, I wouldn't hesitate to take him in the top half of the draft. He's one of the few workhorse RBs in fantasy.
I got mccafery when he slipped to 6th round so I think it was no doubt a great pick
I couldn''t think of a worse fit for McCaffery than the Panthers. I was so disappointed when they took him.
The X factor with McCaffrey is he's the Panthers best WR. From his all time 3 cone to film, he's the best receiving RB to come out in a long time. He would've been a 1st-2nd round WR.
If the Panthers want to win/contend, he should be playing every down regardless if it's RB, slot WR, or split out wide. While his ADP is high I can definitely see the upside scenario of where he gets 100 targets.
Nice video though & I agree with the rest. Lamar Miller...barf.
Just discovered you today, really enjoying your stuff, I even forgive you for being a pats fan
how do you only have 8000 subs, your content is great. love ur vids bro
Great analysis'. Keep it up
No hate here, I liked this one!!!!!
Nice, all these RB's are on my sleeper list...hopefully they'll all be available for me to draft..especially if my league see this video.
I'm getting Woodhead in the 8th and 9th in my drafts. I will take him all day long there with Dixon being out first 3 games. I think Woody eats this year.
in ppr i agree woodhead will be top 10 rb or injured again 1 or the other he doesnt have an inbetween lol
He's going earlier than that in competitive 12 team leagues. The 9th would be fine. But he won't be going that late anywhere come late August
You know why? Because word will get out how great he looks with no problems with his knee. I see Woody ( staying healthy of course) 70-80 receptions 5-7 tds. Flacco is already raving about him saying they haven't had a back like him since Ray Rice.
BTW, i'm drafting at Masters in a 12 team league.
and then he'll get hurt again
First video of yours that I have watched. Nice video and very insightful!

I'll be posting my lineups to talk over in our private chat though and writing an article each week for the premium members of our site
Woodhead is in a good place to be great for ppr. I'll take him as my RB3 all day long if it means I can get a bunch of great wrs.
I have gotten Woodhead last 4 seasons with a really late pick. He was my #2 back early in the season. That was pretty good because I went with a no running back statagy in my PPR league
He's been a bust two of the past 3 seasons due to injury. Love the player and it's a great fit. But he's getting up there and hasn't proven he can stay healthy

I'd go WR heavy in that format. You can start 4 WR and only one RB if you want. I'd be targeting whoever is left of Green, Nelson, Evans, and Thomas. If only one is available then I'd take one RB and one WR
my league of record is a ppr league but is also a point per carry league so would that change your opinion on any of these guys?
It makes any RB that will get volume extremely valuable. So DJ, Bell, and Zeke are the 100% clear cut top 3. It also makes Gurley a lot more viable. I still don't like Miller a ton but he would definitely be worth drafting. Melvin would be fine in a league like that. You basically have to lock up two stud RB's with those settings. So you can't be as picky
Riley Brock ppc Smh dumb league
its fourth round who do you take Terrell Pryor VS Christian Mcafferey
cant wait til fantasy football!
You and me both!
Gordon lost me my chapionship but was a beast at flex last year all year.
Who should I start in week 1? Marcus Mariota or jameis Winston ?
U like fournette this year?
No. There isn't enough upside to cover the amount of risk he carries at that draft position
Leonard Finna eat idc watch his highlights.. he's fast (4.5), has a mean stiff arm, beautiful spin, and a lot of power... prime Adrian Peterson
Who should I start week 1 flex? Gillislee or Eric Decker?
Love the video and I always enjoy hearing others perspectives on players. With that said can you please help me out. I am in a keeper league and trying to decide who to keep out of Hunter Henry (14th round pick) or Corey Coleman ( who would be a 9th round pick). Any advice would be appreciated.
Neither of those is ideal. I guess I'd go Henry
Fantasy Football Advice I agree that neither are ideal as of this year. My biggest question is which one I think has the most value in the long run and which I could redraft this year close to the same draft position as to where I would keep them at. What round do you see Corey Coleman being drafted at this year? So many sites have so many different adp so it's hard to get a decent grasp. I have done plenty of mocks but they are all so inconsistent. Thanks for the reply and thanks for the videos.
He's going later than the 9th. That's why I picked Henry. At least you are getting a slight deal on him. And he has a chance to be a stud in a year or two
Fantasy Football Advice Thank you. That is exactly what I was thinking as well. Can't wait for football to start up! Good luck this year!
Carlos Hyde and Willie Snead for Jordy Nelson. What side do u like? Half point ppr. 3 WR 2 Rb and a flex. Rbs are ajayi, McCoy, Zeke, Hyde, Terrance West, Derrick Henry and samaje Perine. WR are Antonio Brown, Sammy Watkins, Garcon, Snead, Kenny Britt and Kevin White. I have Mike Williams on IR currently.
Would you take AJ. Green over him in the first in standard?
I'm 11th pick in my non ppr league, usually my picks are Jordy Nelson, Jordan Howard, Demarco Murry. Any insight on who I should pick?
Jordy is the best option of the bunch but I like them all. I'd be fine with a Jordy/(Freeman, Howard, Murray) combo. Whichever RB is left after the turn
The chargers head coach is a former running back. He wants to take pressure off of rivers by running the ball. They improved the o line. I don't see any reason not to draft Gordon high unless he gets hurt
He's just going too high. Late first is fine but not the middle first. He carries a lot of risk
I picked lamar miller as my RB2. I had 2nd pick, and got 1. D. Johnson 2. T. Brady 3. A.j. Green 4. L. Miller. I think lamar is a solid RB2!!!!
I also got M. Ingram and M. Gillislee.
This is completely out of context with the video which is fantastic by the way. Doing some digging during my graveyard shift and I got thinking, why on earth haven't I heard of a single analyst talk about Jordan Matthews and his potential value that he holds out of the slot in Philly? The guy is supremely talented and one of the premier slot guys in the NFL and they just acquired Alshon who will take an immense amount of pressure off of him with Carson Wentz looking to take a step forward, I see a guy drafted mostly in the double digit rounds who could return value in a pretty big way in PPR leagues.
Ya he's a good pick late. I think people are putting too much stock into Smith. He's a fine deep threat but he isn't going to take many targets. And if Alshon gets hurt then Matthews will be a huge steal. And even if he doesn't he has the slot role secure. Not a bad pick at all
How do you rank Terrelle Pryor, Brandin Cooks, Jarvis Landry, and Sammy Watkins?
Frank Gore will be the safest 15-20 points you'll get on a weekly basis and doesn't cost much. And he's going to do it at age 34, and he's going to do it while finishing 4th all time in rushing yards this year.
Did you just say Gore is going to get 20 a game? There were 3 RB's that did that last season. DJ/Bell/Zeke. Please use some logic when writing comments
Hyde is a bust. I love Crowell too! I think he will be a breakout this year.
Jack Hamann Hyde will do good as long as he's not hurt.
Gore has been productive though, he's ancient but consistently gets 900 yards which if you have him as a RB 3-4 is good
Lol why is Hyde a bust... best offensive weapon on 49ers. Really Crowell over Hyde lol.
NFL Universe Hyde is no bust. Hyde plays better then any rb in the league with terrible qb play. He actually plays better the worse his qb is. He's underrated and a rare combo of speed and violence.
Edward Brito Crowell over Hyde is a must!!! Browns have One of the best OL in the league, top 5.... Hyde ALWAYS gets injured.. I love Crowell over Hyde
Do you feel fitz has upside at his current adp? What round would you draft fitz in? Then with gore he has upside if he is the 30th rb off the board he could finish top 20 rbs in ppr and non ppr formats. His value goes away though if marlon mack or someone else gets involved.
That's the issue. I think Mack has a decent sized role in the offense. As far as Fitz I think he's a good pick. Better in ppr than in standard but I like his ADP in both. He's also a great trade candidate because his first month schedule is so easy. The players I have ranked right ahead of him are T.Hill, Crowder, Diggs, and Tate. But he is right in the same tier as those guys
Ok so i just had my draft and the third round came around and then 4th roumd cam about i already have zeke and murray, i look in the with my 3rd pick in the 4th round (there were 10 players in my league) and melvin gordon was there? I took him. How was that pick. Good? Bad? Great?
Great. He's not a good pick in the mid first which is where he usually goes
first round question: i havr #6 overall pick in stnadard league. do you take OBJ or Mccoy?
It's OBJ for me
I played Melvin Gordon last night...he'll be better this year.
You hate frank gore but what has his overall finish been the past five years just curious.
Chad Summy he has no ceiling and his floor is he gets replaced my Marlon Mack/injured/retired like Arian Foster
that's only because he plays every game. he doesn't actually score a lot
Ya his finish is always fine but I'd rather someone who plays two less games and gets the same amount of points. Just no ceiling. His points are coming purely off volume and the volume won't be there as much this year
it doesn't matter what he finishes at the end of the year. the only reason he finishes well is he never gets hurt. But by all means if you want to roster an RB who will get you 9 or 10 points a week but has abosuletly 0 chance of going off, then go ahead. That's not how you win leagues though.
Fantasy Football Advice I drafted Gordon in the 3rd round along with Demarco Murray Zeke and Crowell. Is that good?
With 3rd overall pick Brown or Zeke in non ppr?
Zeke if no suspension. Brown if there is one
Fantasy Football Advice how many games suspended would I need to flip from Zeke to brown
u like gurley this year?
Danny Woodhead (Age 32 and injury prone) taken before Adrian Peterson age 31 (also injury prone) but is one of the greatest running backs EVER..
I don't understand the logic.
Doug Trapp woodhead has no competition for his role... Ap has mark ingram
What do you think of Todd gurley at 18 in 8 man league
Ppr league
Go habs eww no boom or bust 🤔
Go habs who you taking #1
Miller was going in the 2nd round last year.
Depended on the league. He was going late first in a lot of leagues
I'd put the top 3 RB's, McCoy, Freeman, and the top 3 WR's before Gordon hands down for sure.. but at 9 I'm basically forced to choose between Gordon, Nelson, Evans (who I expect major regression from), and AJ Green... you can say Green's not injury prone all you want but a guy who's missed time in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 is at least a slight injury risk in my eyes. I won't argue with you if you go AJ Green before Gordon, but I can make plenty of arguments against both guys.. I mean my perspective is from half PPR too though (that way WR's aren't worthlesss if they don't get a TD or 100 yards.. but they still need to do more than go 5 for 50 weekly to be a fantasy stud like in full PPR), so that may skew things slightly more in favor of the RB. With the way mocks are starting to shift hard towards RB, if you don't get 3 "good" RBs in the first 5 rounds you're pretty much SoL (in anything less than full PPR anyway).. Generally I say go against the grain and draft value but after the big 3 wr's I start to strongly favor the RB.. you can still get Baldwin, Watkins, Pryor, Crowder, etc in rounds 3-6.. then still have plenty of options in the later rounds at WR.. worst case scenario if you hit on 4 of your RBs you can always trade one of them for a stud WR.. good luck trading a stud WR for a stud RB come mid season.. My point is; Who are the 4-5 guys you think should beyond a reasonable doubt go before Gordon? IMO everyone between pick 9 and 14 can be the same thing.. huge upside tied to risk and question marks.. Green is the one guy I'll say may deserve the 9 spot ahead of him purely on upside but I think I'd rather get a RB in that spot and take a shot on a guy like Watkins later on than go Green and take a shot on Hyde.
In full point I have the top 12 ranked: DJ, Bell, Zeke, Brown, Julio, Odell, McCoy, Green, Jordy, Evans, Freeman, Gordon
In Standard I have the top 12 ranked: DJ, Zeke, Bell, Brown, Odell, Julio, McCoy, Freeman, Jordy, Green, Evans, Gordon
I'd take him in the second, but right now he's at 9 and I think that could move to the 7-9 range. I've seen him go as high as 5th
Fantasy Football Advice I mean I fully agree with him being no early than 9th overall.. I just view a lot of those guys as borderline interchangeable.. I'm one of those guys who's super low on Evans this year.. I put him after Green, Nelson, and Gordon.. it's just those 3 guys are hard for me to decide between and Gordon is the riskiest.. and I do put Green ahead of Nelson in half ppr and I very well may still decide to take Green 9th.. I'm just saying I don't absolutely hate Gordon 9th.. it's the earliest I'd take him for sure but it'll come down to ADPs and how I anticipate my team turning out come draft day.. if I think can get Gordon round 1 and Nelson/Green in round 2 then I'll probably take that chance.. I've been seeing Gordon Murray, Ajayi, and Howard all go before Green and Nelson lately.. I just hate when I go Green then RB's just start flying off the board and I get Nelson.. I like that start but I hate when i get to round 3 and Hyde is the only guy left on the board with tons of WR value all around him.. I'm just trying to avoid the RB Zero trap I fall into by going against the grain in rounds 1/2..
Ya it's ideal to get a RB in one of the first two rounds. It was easy early in the summer. But casual fans are going to see videos about how you need to lock up a RB early and we are going to see it go back to the days of almost all RB's in the first. At that point all the value is being sucked out of some of these guys. I do agree though that Melvin, Green, Evans and Jordy are all fairly similar
Not drafting Frank Gore just because of his age is ridiculous. Of course age is a factor for injury risk and the 6th round is a little too high, but he was one of the most consistent running backs every year for as long as I can remember. People made the same case last year with Robert Turbin, and look what happened. Sure, he's old, but to not draft him at all is just stupid, considering it's based nothing other than age. I guess we should be hesitant about drafting Tom Brady because he's 40.
It's not just the age. His two most inefficient seasons have been his last two. And RB's get less and less productive as they get more carries (once they pass 28 is where the bigger drop offs happen). He would be fine if we could project 230+ touches. But I think Mack has a decent role. Especially on third downs.
Fantasy Football Advice I agree completely that his ceiling is not very high. But Frank Gore is not someone you draft expected crazy upside. What he's been is a solid and consistent RB that you use as a potential flex position or replacement for an injured RB2. I would say that rounds 7 or 8 are more appropriate, but I think he has a lot of worth there. Plus, we don't know whether or not Mack could be a total bust or not, the majority or rookie running backs usually are.
Well he did finish as the RB12 in standard leagues, above Isaiah Crowell, Lamar Miller, and Todd Gurley, all of which who are being drafted around Round 3 in 12-team leagues. Additionally, we have no evidence of injury for Gore, so we're only basing the injury risk on other RB's of similar age. The reason why he may not drop off is because he's never been a Top 5 RB in the first place. I don't see how people can justify drafting an injury-riddled Sammy Watkins in round 3 or 4, but then say that Gore in round 7 or 8 is too high a price.
So I agree with you on #5 and #4 I love woodhead but I agree that 6th Rd is too soon 9th is probably great. Since I go WR 1st 3 picks (PPR) I won't get Melvin but dude that consistently get hurt I try to avoid unless they drop in the draft. Frank Gore is too old this is a young man sport rather go with your dude Mixon from Cinn. Great video subscribe to HanzDownSports
Ur list is wrong it's
Jordan Howard
Eddy Lacy
Frank Gore
Carlos Hyde
Lamar Miller/Ty Montgomery/ Theo Riddick
That's not in any specific order
Why Hyde and Howard? Both clear cut starters. Howard behind a top 7 o-line
Fantasy Football Advice I doubt Howard will average as many yards per carry as he did last year and Carlos Hyde is on the 49ers so I wouldn't count on him to do much
Fantasy Football Advice and btw I didn't mean to be rude during my comment
Ty Montgomery is a duel threat
The Vikkster Plays Montgomery a beast sorry ur list is wrong .. Love Montgomery
with in improved and healthy O line, Miller will be much better than you think.
Omar Monelle not too mention he keeps stressing why will he produce more when he's getting less work!? Because they admitted they overworked him. He was playing beat up.
Joshua Riley Foreman is looking great as well
He'd probably be a lot better if they had a QB. He's in a Gurley situation.
sasha laa Brick Asswater is no longer there. Things will improve alot. Savage is a good QB.
Miller is going to crush it - with an upgraded QB & Hopkins bouncing back Miller should see more running room. He should get around 15 carries and 3-4 catches a game which should put in in the area of 90 total yards & every so often a TD. The offense will be better so he should get more opportunities for TD's. Brock was a nightmare last year - not going to happen again
Y'all, I'm from 2021, and I've got some news for you...
If woodhead doesn't get injured, he'll be the best player on the ravens. I can't see him not finishing the season with roughly 900 running and 900 receiving yards. He's going to be huge. And Frank Gore?! Come on man, this feels like you just don't play fantasy football. He's the #1 running back and he finishes every year way ahead of where everyone ranks him.
Woodhead will be a low RB1 or high RB2, Frank Gore will be a low RB2. It's a guarantee with the exception of injuries.
J.P. Michaels Frank Gore is the kind of player you pick in the 7th because you realize he finished 12th last year (due strictly to volume, which he won't have this year), only to drop him after week 3 because someone else breaks out/Marlon Mack takes the job from him. He is probably the only player being drafted in the first 8 rounds with literally zero upside.
do you like the dolphins RB??
I love Ajayi. Anywhere in the second round is fine with me
Fantasy Football Advice I dont he has injuries problems and can't hold a heavy workload
+Fantasy Football Advice how about ajayi as a keeper from previous draft year over cam Newton. I think cam is going to have a year similar to 2015 and being a bit lighter and faster = more red zone touchdowns he'll take in.
God you are so wrong about frank gore, especially if you draft Marlon Mack
Really surprised to not see Jordan Howard on this list
Nah he's a stud. Regression for sure but they have to realize at this point that he's their best option
Fantasy Football Advice look at what happened with Todd gurley in his second year, he was THE MAN on the rams, doesn't mean he is having a good year especially with the bum offense..you have to recognize the same risk with Howard..not to mention gordon is clearly THE MAN on the chargers better offense with the improving o-line?
Ricky not saying Gordon is great or anything but I just see a lot of similarities between Howard and gurley 2nd year cuz glennon and their receivers are terrible. He is a beast tho I agree with that
Daniel Keyes are u crazy Howard a top 10 PPR RB
PackAholicsAnonymous gurley is a beast lol it wasn't his fault he had a down year the rams had the worst o line in the league last year. Melvin Gordon just isn't that good of an rb when u compare him to gurley and other rbs
I got Gordan 15th Overall or Something :D And My 2. Rounder was T.Y Hilton 😃 ... I also Picked Woodhead but i thing in the 9th Round or Something ...
And i got Mixon and Rex Burkhead ... i probably went a litte to risky 😁 what do you thing ??
Those sound good to me. I don't like Woodhead early but the 9th is great value for him
After with 2-5. Can't wait for Frank Gore to prove you wrong one more time.
Hopefully he does. I just don't see it
Im not bought on christian mccaffrey either I think johnathan stewart will have the workload And hes too early in rounds lol
Just had my draft and was able to snag both julio jones and antonio brown so i had to take a risk on my running backs and i drafted melvin gordon and isaiah crowell, i also have tevin coleman and derrick henry im looking to trade either Emmanuel sanders or allen robinson for a better rb any suggestions?
Nick Padula keep allen Robinson in flex
Jay Burrows over t.y and jarvis landry??
Nick Padula u playin w 5 year olds
Nick Padula They why mention it?
DhOg 13 fuck you nigga
U like ajayi this year?
Yes. Anywhere in the second round is fine with me
Fantasy Football Advice where do you rank Michael Thomas among WRs?
7th. He's going to be a stud
Bell or Johnson?
DJ
Fantasy Football Advice 20 minutes before my draft just in time! Thanks
@2:58 he quotes "Cam hasn't run the ball much in RECENT YEARS". The word "years" is plural, meaning more than 1, so let's go back 2 seasons to 2015. Cam had 132 RA attempts for 636 yds and 10 TDs
STFU!!!
Exactly. Some people just don't know what THE FUCK they're talking about. I'm going to laugh when his predictions are proven false. Just listen to his voice, he seems like he whines a lot. Especially about his own picks.
Your fucking crazy!!?? Hyde over miller?? Gordon is gonna be a bust? Gordon will be a fucking monster!
your mind is trained Soo much to think a fantasy football type of way first...but comm'on man.
you would be wrong if you were talking regular football.
u do have good angles sometimes..
Every type of list and outlook is 100% fantasy. If you are in the NFL then you are an elite talent. But based on draft position players can still be a bust even if they post a solid football season. The channel isn't football GM advice. It's fantasy football advice
Totally disagree on Woodhead
Why does everyone love Crowell this year? I don't get it
Mike Stanis He now has a top 5 offensive line and they will run the ball a lot.
Watch the video I posted on Wednesday. But he was really good last year, the line improved, and they have come out and said that they need to feed him
damn Nick! why so much hayrides on Gordon...lol
Haven't disliked the ADP on anyone this much since Benjamin and Newton last season
Fantasy Football Advice ...I agree thou
Y'all ready 😂
Gore finished rb 12 last season in our league..And was drafted in the 7th round...How the hell do you pass on that? Thats value at its best. Sorry, But out of the 5...thats the 1 i will disagree. Until gore shows he cannot be a rb2 anymore. I will def continue to target him in the 7th round...7th round!? #Value.
It all came on volume and the volume won't be there as much. If you want 6 points per week with no upside then sure do it. But he will not be a RB 1 and he has a very small chance at being a RB 2
Ray Colón except if you really look at the stats on a game by game basis, Frank Gore was actually complete garbage. the only reason he finishes 12th is because he never gets hurt. I would 10/10 times rather draft a high upside running back like, CJ prosise, over Frank Gore. But by all means if your okay getting barely 9 points a game from an RB then go ahead and take Gore. That's not how you win leagues though.
Wow.....your fantasy team stinks if you stuck to your picks....lol. This is worse than espn....which is saying something
It’s a contradiction
did you say the jets are a tough matchup? thank god i dont listen to your advice
Absolutely for RB's. They were ranked #1 against the rush last season
www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdef
MG had 3 tds against the chiefs last year... just sayin
It was 2. And it came on 57 total yards
fair enough iw as wrong about the tds but he had a 4.1 avg with those 57 yards. Plus the o-line got better. gordons gonna be good this season.
4.1 isn't exactly something to boast about. It's below league average for his age. Although I guess it was above his embarrassing career YPC
Sean Douglas I agree, Gordon is going to have a fantastic season. He's in a great situation for a RB. I don't see a td regression at all. Coach Lynn has raved about Gordon all off season and he's going to ride Gordon, like he did with Shady McCoy in Buffalo. For me, I wouldn't hesitate to take him in the top half of the draft. He's one of the few workhorse RBs in fantasy.
Thank you, someone with some sense. The guy who made the video is gonna be proven so wrong, but what do expect from someone who begs for likes
Foreman will take Lamar miller job by week 6
Mccafrey is not a bust
Not in ppr. But he very well could be in standard.
Fantasy Football Advice lies McCaffrey is gonna be huge for the Panthers
