Explain Yourself! + Rankings Debates, Metcalf Island - Fantasy Football Podcast for 5/30

Too low. Now you're trying to just say that your rank is good. I'm just taking issue with you saying middling. That's all. It's near the top. And it's different than you guys have him at 10 and 11. Look, he's just not that good of a player. He really isn't. How dare you? He's not that good of a running back. Yes, he is. He is Cedric Benson. That's what Najee Harris is. You go look at their best years. They're the same. You can't tell me a guy that's average 3.8 and 3.9 a carry is an amazing running back. Volume has been the key for Najee Harris. That's fine. But I have this team. The Steelers projected bottom 10, total plays, total yards. Don't love the offense. Guess what? My stat projections? Very similar to last year's stat projections for Najee Harris. Where he finished at 14, I've got him at 16. That's fine. I don't see the upside of Najee Harris. I really don't.

Jalen Warren's a player they want to get more involved. Kenny Pickett doesn't get me up in the morning. And, you know, when I'm looking at the players I'm deciding between Miles Sanders, I see tons of upside in Carolina. You know, Travis Aetian, I like more. Ramandre, Aaron Jones. Like there are players that catch the football at, like, Najee used to do it. to a degree that made him a special weapon, right? I didn't care about his efficiency on the ground when he was two years ago. What was it? 74 receptions. I care. He was the running back four, right? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Two years ago. Well, last year when he recovered from his injury, the second half of the year, he was the running back five during the final. I don't like the injury washing of the whole year because.

As a rookie, he was 3.9 a carry, and as a sophomore, he was 3.8 a carry. So it's like, I feel like that's the easy way to go when a guy didn't play well. You watched him play. I watched him play. I watched the offensive line let everyone through like they were matadors and Najee trying to break tackles the second he grabs the ball. I also watched the Steelers this offseason spend big money on a couple of contracts and then spend their first round pick. on an offensive lineman. It's crazy because Jalen Warren averaged 4.6 behind the same line. So he must have put some different linemen out there for Jalen Warren. I am pro Jailin Warren. That's obvious that the line was to blame. Was on the field during that stretch of games playing the snaps that you worry about when Najee was the running back five or the second half. Yeah. And he averaged almost a yard better. So I'm just saying, Najee Harris has shown me through two years. He's a volume play. That's fine. Nothing wrong with the volume play.

He's just not my volume play. Look, it's like cafeteria food. They give you more because it doesn't taste as good. I want a fine meal at this pick. If I'm going to have to spend a second round draft pick on a running back, I want the chance that I'm having the best meal on my life. I don't want to have a. Doesn't want a meddling running back too, Jason. Well, now it's meddling. Meddling. Meddling doesn't even make sense. That would be like messing with my lineup, which he also does. Meddling, middling, middler, who cares. All right. Well, good for everybody out there. Did you say Bet Middling? Bet Midler. Bet Midlering. Yeah. If he's Bet Midlering, I'm back in. All right.
