Never get interrupted by ads but they all say Sal talks too fast. Fantasy moves fast, keep up! I've won a few championships with Sal's advice. Great information and he don't waste your time!
Hey Sal.... would you post your picks and final ending spots (rankings) for the 2023 season so we can see where you're picks ultimately ended up? It would help validate your arguments and give you a track record for reliability.
None of these influencers do that lol what you have to do is go back the videos year ago today to track their claims. Reality is all these guys pump out so much content, that they eventually generally “like” everyone. So the goal is to hear the stats, “takes” and surmise your opinion and philosophy how to draft when you’re on the clock.
I've watched so much content that all these guys have the same face and voice and they all talk as fast as Sal lmao....I just draft Tim Tebow at every position cause my brain went into overload and is mushy mash @@christianperez6530
I won in 1 league and finished second lost by 4pts in the championship in the other and I drafted based off his advice. This dude is a credible source !
Sal youre a genius cuz I be targeting the same: Higgins, Pacheco, Pollard, Lockette But when you said if you had a perfect RB what would they look? like how would they perform? I have two names that come to mind TODD GURLEY & JAMAAL CHARLES
In all in on Pacheco this year. And honestly, the chiefs offense overall. I can’t stop drafting Mahomes as my qb and then getting Hollywood or worthy a little later. In my dynasty startup, I snagged all 3. Even if Hollywood leaves after this year, I’m not missing out on this. I absolutely despise the chiefs cause I label them the new patriots. But they will be a super fantasy friendly team this year with no weapons.
Agreed; 46 year old Chief's fan my whole life and our O is going deep this year which opens it up for Pacheco. Worthy is a steal in later rounds (he has been tearing it up in training camp)
Every season people say Conner is done and will be benched and every season he just keeps on going. Still not falling off Benson will likely get some work but he's not going to just supplant a productive Conner. Expectations need to be tempered on Benson.
I’m drafting benson. Where you are drafting him it puts him on your bench. Conner averages 4 missed games a year. When he gets out benson is gonna do great and can easily start in the flex for people’s teams
I made it a point to target Benson in dynasty and got him at the 2.01 in my Rookie draft. I'm not looking for him to be a regular starter this year, though if he is it's icing on the cake. I like Connor and may pick him up in our upcoming auction draft, and he could be great this year, but I see Benson as having a longer life on my roster.
I don't want anything to do with either Titans RBs. Titans are going to finish last in the AFC South, that offense is going to struggle and they are going to be trailing in games alot
I think the offense will be good, but it won't be because of the rushers. I think they'll be much closer to the middle of the pack (nothing special) but it's because their pass catchers are pretty good.
There are going to be at least 150 carries available vacated from the backup rbs last year So it's not like he won't have a significant role this year.
@teemojee for me id rather have achane and pittman or even the opposite with like a josh allen/laporta. Just pray achane stays healthy and maybe get jaylen wright late round to back him up or mostert a little earlier
Spears will be the back getting more everything in Tennessee. Pollard does better with less. I feel they will be close at the end of the yearin stats, but it will probably be a 60/40 split in favor of Spears.

With your Sal on Pollard. Bill Callahan is the Oline coach. He's great. Pollard is now in the 2nd year following his injury. Dallas' Oline was terrible running. They tried to run Pollard like Zeke. Pollard is a slasher and great receiver. If Tennessee throws it to him about 5-8 times per game on screens and wheel routes, and then rushes him 15-20 times he will do great.
i feel like the Titans will be playing from behind a lot this season and with Spears being the better pass catching back i would lean towards picking Tyjea
Yeah, Pacheco listed as #19, Henry #18 and Barkley #11 on the NFL Fantasy rankings - all gone by middle kf the 2nd round, not the 3rd and 4th round. So I get some leagues will have them fall for some reason, but it's just completely unrealistic to talk up drafting Pacheco in the 4th when autodraft would pick him up 2 rounds earlier. I pick at #22 and I won't get a sniff at either of them. Will have fingers crossed for ETN.
Mixon is solid, but we have to temper expectations in terms of his pass catching. He's on a new team and only three teams completed fewer passes to RBs last year than the Texans. I just don't know how extensively he'll be targeted with all those pass catchers around him.
I got excited and joined a public league to draft early. This is my team: Qb: stroud Wr1: drake london Wr2: Stephon diggs Rb1: cmc Rb2: Rhamondre Flex: Zay flowers K: Jake Elliot Def: browns Bench: Terry McLaurin Nick Chubb Hollywood brown Rick dowdle Caleb Williams Meyers How’d I do, I want to know for the league I have money on
I thought I had more shares of these. I have been trying not to pick the same players too much but if I knew I had that few of Mixon and benson I would have been drafting more of them. 22% Spears 23% Saquan 13% Benson 12% Mixon.
People HELP....., we play with 1 keeper in our league. N I have to choose between Barkley, Gibbs n JT to keep. And I have last pick snake draft. Who should I keep?
when you like every running back the information is useless tell me who you don't like which 5 rb's being drafted in the top 12 won't finish top 12? last year , in points per game, (not counting injured rb's) ekeler, pollard, bijon, henry, jacobs , walker , najee didn't return top 12 investment give me that list here's my guesses (breece, williams, achane, white, taylor)
I don't understand why Rachaad White is going like the RB 15-17. He finished the number 4 RB last year and his O-line situation only improved. He's a total steal in the 3rd round.
Your take on Pollard semi convinced me, the uncertainty in their backfield pushes his ADP down too. But that offence is gonna be so garbage it may not be worth it to pick either guy.
Anyone opinions on which team is better? Team 1: Josh Allen Kyren Williams Rachaad White Justin Jefferson Davante Adams Dalton Kincaid Chris Olave Team 2: Joe Burrow Bijan Robinson Travis Etienne AJ Brown Drake London Trey McBride Chris Olave
Very skeptical about mixon he's not good (below average in nearly every single stat), getting old (could be even worse because of age) and has alot of mileage.... It's a very real possibility peirce plays good like we've seen in his rookie year and we see a hot hand / completely spilt backfield with a below average o line before mid season
Love your content Sal, but the main reason the Cowboys got their poop pushed in last year was because they couldn't run a balanced offense because Tony Pollard is not good at the thing hes paid to be good at. I had decently high expectations for him, but he looked awful. Hes either not going to get enough work to be effective, or he is, and still wont be effective. I want nothing to do with him on any of my teams.
I get where you’re coming from with Pollard. Although I just like spears more. I think spears is the better back in every way and you can get him a round or 2 later usually. I am trying to take more shares of him just in case I am wrong though. I mean yeah he was 23rd but that was because he had all of those red zone touches because he played for the Cowboys. I mean come on you think a player that had a 53% snap share while next to Derrick. Henry, and you think he will only get 40% with pollard. I was okay with everything you said until that.
I'd rather have Spears over Pollard. Especially when their ADP is about the same. Benson won't see much of the field if Connor is Running well and if AZ is winning some games.
I've been all in on Pollard. He will be going into a outside zone running scheme with Coach Callahan. When was Pollard at his best? In a outside zone run scheme under Bill Callahan. What scheme helped UDFA Tony Romo? Yep, the outside zone run game. I expect Levis to see a decent uptick in play in 2024.
Baltimore is not a great fit… That’s literally the #1 reason you stay away… Henry has never run out of the gun like they do in Baltimore, Harbaugh even expressed concern about this… Yes he’s also 31, not a lot of tread on the tires, running behind a line that is replacing 3 guys with a 2nd round rookie, a second year guy and dude who’s name I can’t remember Edward’s had 13 TDs for them last year and was RB14… Henry is going as RB10… I’ll wait, this is not an ideal situation
I don’t think so, heard their coach say he wouldn’t play Mixon n any preseason games and would give him scheduled days off because they were going to lean heavily on him during the season. Maybe he’s trying to throw teams off hoping they won’t stay n a 2 deep zone but if they do Mixon will be a top 5 Ppr RB.
Sal Baltimore lost it's best linemen and 3 top D players so they won't b shutting teams down EXSPECIALLY😢 In that division! Teams r gonna stack the box and doble cover Zay/Andrews

In all in on Pacheco this year. And honestly, the chiefs offense overall. I can’t stop drafting Mahomes as my qb and then getting Hollywood or worthy a little later. In my dynasty startup, I snagged all 3. Even if Hollywood leaves after this year, I’m not missing out on this. I absolutely despise the chiefs cause I label them the new patriots. But they will be a super fantasy friendly team this year with no weapons.
Yes the Chiefs players price tags are lower this year than in years past. I’m looking to get kelce in 2nd, Mahomes in 3rd and Hollywood in mid rounds
Agreed; 46 year old Chief's fan my whole life and our O is going deep this year which opens it up for Pacheco. Worthy is a steal in later rounds (he has been tearing it up in training camp)
Good luck with Mahomes. Never again for me.
I'm a Bills fan but I'm all in on Pacheco as my RB 1 this year.
Every season people say Conner is done and will be benched and every season he just keeps on going. Still not falling off
Benson will likely get some work but he's not going to just supplant a productive Conner.
Expectations need to be tempered on Benson.
Agreed. Couldn't of said it better.
I’m drafting benson. Where you are drafting him it puts him on your bench. Conner averages 4 missed games a year. When he gets out benson is gonna do great and can easily start in the flex for people’s teams
That maybe true but I see a committee approach this szn

I like Connor and may pick him up in our upcoming auction draft, and he could be great this year, but I see Benson as having a longer life on my roster.
Only issue with Conner that it’s almost certain he’ll get injured. This is also his last yr on his contract.
Would you do a aj brown saquon and jalen hurts stack? If not which stack is better a saquon hurts stack or aj brown hurts stack?
Let him fall. I love it. Benson, that is..
I don't want anything to do with either Titans RBs. Titans are going to finish last in the AFC South, that offense is going to struggle and they are going to be trailing in games alot
Agreed. Split backfield on a projected bottom-5 offense? No thanks.
I think the offense will be good, but it won't be because of the rushers. I think they'll be much closer to the middle of the pack (nothing special) but it's because their pass catchers are pretty good.
There are going to be at least 150 carries available vacated from the backup rbs last year
So it's not like he won't have a significant role this year.
I’m seeing Pacheco go in the late 2nd and early 3rd in mock drafts.
yeah few picks b4 Mixon

That Benson clip reminds me of a pretty beastly Skittles loving RB from a few years ago.
Spears will be the back getting more everything in Tennessee. Pollard does better with less. I feel they will be close at the end of the yearin stats, but it will probably be a 60/40 split in favor of Spears.
I agree, Pollard is a change of pace and is better as a second running back not the first guy.

Beware of RBs moving to new teams. I think Joe Mixon is the best of this group.
Great stuff Sal as always! Does your top 250 have tier rankings ?
i feel like the Titans will be playing from behind a lot this season and with Spears being the better pass catching back i would lean towards picking Tyjea
Yeah, Pacheco listed as #19, Henry #18 and Barkley #11 on the NFL Fantasy rankings - all gone by middle kf the 2nd round, not the 3rd and 4th round.

This comment 👌
Hey Sal,, any worries about CJ Stroud not checking down much, hurting Joe Mixon’s value.
Just finished my draft - murray, gibbs, achane, J chase, amari cooper, laporta, christan watson - bench - mclaurien, k coleman, C sutton, B corum, stafford, A mitchell, tyler conklin. Thoughts?
Damn how many teams?
@@stevenmiller5387 12
Two.
Was clowned yesterday for taking Pollard at 125th overall (10 team)
As my 4th RB it feels great!
Thank you for slowing down your speech brother! ALOT better than in the past.
Mixon is solid, but we have to temper expectations in terms of his pass catching. He's on a new team and only three teams completed fewer passes to RBs last year than the Texans. I just don't know how extensively he'll be targeted with all those pass catchers around him.
Nobody cares because he's not there to just catch passes. He's going to get his fair share but he's also going to be the goal-line guy.
I care. I will factor in catches when comparing him with other backs like Josh Jacobs, James Cook, Rachaad White, etc.
I got excited and joined a public league to draft early. This is my team:
Qb: stroud
Wr1: drake london

Received my blueprint about a month ago. It's legit! Great tool, can't wait for draft day
appreciate you!
My half PPR 12 team league almost everyone goes RB heavy first two rounds.
hang on babe you can wait, Sal just posted again 🤩
What about Cam Akers role with the Texans?
People HELP....., we play with 1 keeper in our league. N I have to choose between Barkley, Gibbs n JT to keep. And I have last pick snake draft. Who should I keep?
Gibbs for sure.
As folks keep talking up Pacheco this early, it won't be long before you'll need to use your second round pick to secure him.
I know, I'm loving it. Maybe we can get him into the middle Seco d round to push good players down. :)
when you like every running back
the information is useless
tell me who you don't like
which 5 rb's being drafted in the top 12 won't finish top 12?
last year , in points per game, (not counting injured rb's) ekeler, pollard, bijon, henry, jacobs , walker , najee didn't return top 12 investment
give me that list
here's my guesses (breece, williams, achane, white, taylor)
Sooo take D Henry if I get a late 1st round pick? Or Saquan maybe 🤷🏼♂️
Can’t go wrong either way
Lets GOOOOOOOOO! Im back and ready to win baby!
Cannot open Sals' BluePrint. It's in Excel.
I swear Sal is the son of the Micro Machines guy
I have Tyjea Spears as a 14th round keeper in my 14 team 2 Qb league so im hoping youre wrong on Pollard lol
I don't understand why Rachaad White is going like the RB 15-17. He finished the number 4 RB last year and his O-line situation only improved. He's a total steal in the 3rd round.
Life Hack: Watch at 2x speed for like a minute. Go back to 1x speed. Now he is talking really slow.
Great now I want all these players
Your take on Pollard semi convinced me, the uncertainty in their backfield pushes his ADP down too. But that offence is gonna be so garbage it may not be worth it to pick either guy.
Hopkins, Ridley, Tyler Boyd, Pollard.. they won't be garbage. Definitely a sleeper team
@@VladColeman Vegas has them as a bottom 5 offence despite all that, that team screams name value more than skill level.
Henry going in second round and Pacheco going in 2nd or 3rd, you’re crazy
Henry will go in the second round Sal is correct.
He said 3rd lol
If you think he talks too fast, just slow down the playback speed in the settings 😂😂
Mixon going in early to mid Rd 3 competitive PPR - 2 flex
Keep it up Sal, good video sir
My biggest concern on Pacheco is mostly his contract and what happens after this year. If Pacheco isn’t a chief I don’t like him near as much.
Great takes!❤
Anyone opinions on which team is better?

Josh Allen

Team 2:

Travis Etienne
AJ Brown
Drake London

Henry and Pacheco are 2nd picks
I love Spears, but he is too small to get a full load. He'll be a spell guy. Which is good for both of them.
Gibbs or Barkley?

Baltimore is not a great fit…
That’s literally the #1 reason you stay away…
Henry has never run out of the gun like they do in Baltimore, Harbaugh even expressed concern about this…
Yes he’s also 31, not a lot of tread on the tires, running behind a line that is replacing 3 guys with a 2nd round rookie, a second year guy and dude who’s name I can’t remember

Being explosive and being able to produce, plus dealing with an older RB1, also he goes late so he’s a solid RB4 with great upside you can get him
