Early RB Rankings Part 2 + Champion Challenge - Fantasy Football Podcast for 4/14

Do you have a favorite of that bunch? Yeah, the one I wanted to focus on a little bit more would be Rashad Penny. Agreed. Where, I mean, it turned out to be a league winning player if you had scooped them up at the right time off of the waiver wire of week 14, the running back three, has a down week, but then the running back 9, 1, and 2, if you happen to be playing in week 18. And meanwhile, like the news, Chris Carson is back as.

but is he really back? I mean, that injury he had was incredibly serious. I haven't seen that he's actually healthy and ready to go. And like, I barely factor him into this equation. Can he get hit? Yeah. It reminds me a little, his finish to the year, remember the Montgomery end of season two years ago? Yes. Where it was like elite game after elite game. And he was like, okay, how much do we make this a prescription for the future? Penny's even more difficult because you don't have a history, right? You had seen some, some,

performances from Montgomery before his elite run. Penny's not going to catch the football. He got six passes. He's not going to have the... He doesn't have rust with the office. Yeah, the level of opportunities around the goal line. And that's why he's sitting here at 25. All the risk is baked into that 25 ranking. So, Mike, you do them up at 22. So there's hope. And he showed he could win weeks. It's just such a small sample. Yeah. And they're going to be bad. Yeah. They will...

Where do you have him relative? So him and this is perfect. You have him and David Montgomery back to back. Yeah. You have Montgomery one spot higher. But both of them have a lot of question marks on the offense. Right now you have Montgomery. You would take him over Penny. Yeah, slightly. But I guess if your team was made up of maybe a more solid group, you might take the shot on Penny over Montgomery. Yeah, that's fair. It's just feel more comfortable with David Montgomery at the top of the depth chart.

for Chicago than you do with Penny currently. I have a question for Kyle. Is that permitted? Yep. Okay. Kyle, is there a player on this top on the show today that you take issue with, that you find the ranking to be egregious on your own personal running back convictions? I think Saquan is just buried. There is upside still. Yeah. Yeah, there definitely is. I think a lot of people don't know what to do with Saquan Barkley.

because what's his best ball ADP right now? RB 18. Still only 25 years old. I've got him at 18, so I'm cool with that. Man, the Giants are just such a mess, and that is muddying everything. Is Daniel Jones going to be the quarterback for the whole year? Yes, he will. You know that they have the most expensive receiving room in the entire league? Hmm, okay.

Do you know that they have the least amount of receiving touchdowns in the entire league? Shout out to Warren Sharp for tweeting that out. I mean, that's just... There's a bad year for Kenny Gallaudet. Yeah, but a bad year is just... That's just called a giant season recently. Yeah. So I think the pathway for Sequin, yeah, when you have a player that has set a precedent of being elite before, which he has been, you've always got that chance.

So I don't know if he's going to stay here or not. I need to see a little bit more. Mike, you're more generous with him at 18. Because I'm with Kyle. The upside is still there to me. Yeah, that's fair. And the better running back is no longer on the team. That would be Devonte Booker. You need to lower him in your rankings. All right, that is going to do it for today's show. We'll be back with a new episode next week. Also a bonus episode for those of you supporting the show at join the foot.com.
