Wildcard Players! Breakout or Bust? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 5/28

Last year, he's still with rushing touchdowns from week 7 through 11. He was the overall running back one in fantasy football. He's trying to be most. When he went on an absolute tear and he had eight rushing touchdowns in that span. But he's 29. All data says this should not work because Gus Edwards isn't an Adrian and Peterson, a prolific first ballot Hall of Fame superstar where you can accept. that at the age of 29, like Christian McCaffrey at 29 will say, yeah, that's fine. And yet these two guys who want to run the football, they didn't go out and sign Zach Moss. Correct. They didn't go out and sign Josh Jacobs. They didn't make a trade for a young guy. Even worse. Even worse, their backup plan was they brought in JK2 legs, who's backed down to JK1 leg, and then they drafted a rookie in the sixth round of Kamani Vidal Sassoon.

I'm not going to leave you out, Jay. And it, so the running back room says, who's overtaking Gus Edwards here for especially goal line work? But third downs, it'll be a nothing for Gus Edwards. So the wild card nature of Gus is he's being, people aren't hot and bothered for Gus Edwards. And yet he's a starting running back for a team that has an offensive system that has shown year after year after year that they have success running the ball. But I don't even know if I want him. Yeah, no, that's the definition of a wild card right there. Man. Are you in on the Gus bus, Jason? Did you buy a ticket? It's going to be a draft day value and whether he fits my team. I don't feel like I will be able to bank on consistency enough for him. I think he'll be primarily a goal line guy. He's never been a guy that catches the ball a ton. And he was someone that was known for his hyper efficiency. You know, when you look at once you've had several hundred.

carries in your career. He was up near the league leaders. He was always over five a carry. This last year, you know, 4.1, granted when, you know, half your carries give you one yard to the goal line. Yeah. It's not that bad. He might, they must have seen something in him. Well, I mean, he was with this system, right? He was with G. Roe in Baltimore. So he's not going to catch passes. No, he's not going to catch passes. So it's going to be a touchdown. I think he has 10 touchdowns, which is awesome. You tell me if fantasy running back gets 10 touchdowns. I would be in. Yeah, I'm in there. You should be in. But I also think he does so little outside of that that in the games where you don't get a touchdown, you're going to be unhappy. So it's going to be inconsistent. He should be a flex option to me? But he's like, I mean, if his APP holds, he's a zero running back target. And it just is like, should he be that? Should he be more? All right, Kyle sharing the stat, his finish last year.

at RB20 is the fourth worst among 80 running backs that have ever hit 13 plus rushing touchdown. Yeah, that makes sense. So to your point. Yeah, more of the same. All right. I think we did it. The Wildcards episode is over. Wild card. Thank you. Thank you, Jason. You're welcome. We'll let Jason go have a hot dog. Deepen his voice a little bit. Yeah. And you can head over to ultimate draft kit. Can you write those off as like a tax expense for your job? Oh, yeah. Now I can't. You just wait to see how many hot dogs. Your tax guys like 30 cases of hot dogs? No, he's voice lessons. It's the same difference. Ultimate DriveKit.com right now. Four days left. Comes out on Saturday. Go get it.
