Fantasy Football Podcast for 2015 - Free Agent Running Backs and Draft News Part 2.

career arc because his first couple years were just meh and you thought he might flame out he was also super injury prone those first two years achilles injury some other injuries but he's actually played 14 of 16 games last two years um i think he comes back to washington myself um i think they need him i do not think alfred morris is the only guy he can you can run back there

and Hulu offered them a lot. But what do you guys think about Roy Hulu? Does he have fantasy value next year if he switches teams, if he stays? I think that if he switches teams and someone were to go after him, he's incredibly talented. He's way more talented than what you've seen. But because what I was just talking about about the market, I think he stays, I think he ends up just sticking home and being the same thing he's always been in Washington. But I know that Mr. Hello!

is someone you want to talk about, Mike. I like Heeloo. Hello, whatever. I like him a lot. Mr. Roy. What was it? I said I was a Roy boy last week. That's right. Someone was calling me out. Hey, Roy boy. Wait, what? I like him. I like his potential to be a late round sleeper next year or this year.

It depends on his landing spot, of course. I don't think he's back in Washington. It makes sense for the scheme. Washington, they want a Gio Bernard type guy, and you have that with Roy Hulu. It's just the, how much money does he think he can get? And the guy, it would obviously small sample size, but 40 for 260 yards on the ground. That's five and a half a carry.

Again, really small sample size, but he added 42 catches. So out of 47 targets, I mean, that's a really high catch rate. I think Roy Hulu is a good example of probably Vreen in this category, too, of a player who's more valuable in the actual NFL than he is in the fantasy football world. I think teams need a guy like Hulu. I just wonder if he has breakout potential or not. He kind of has to be in that situation where he's like Fawcett.

who gets the opportunity due to injury or due to performance in the first part of the year and can take over for somebody because, you know, we're looking for that potential in a fantasy football running back. One of the other things that's kept him off the field is his pass blocking, which is terrible. He's in the bottom part of the league, but he's an excellent runner and pass catcher. He is a great pass blocker. That's a really good point. I'm not joking with you.

You're staring me down like you think I'm joking. The numbers don't agree with you. Yeah, the numbers say that he was up there. According to pro football focus, they ranked 57 running backs. Last place, Doug Martin. In past catching. Last place of the life. Why is there a shout out? We turned so quickly on these turn, just in Doug Martins. I mean, hey, what have you done for me lately, right? Roy Hulu was the 49th ranked.

pass blocker well that's not really proving my point no can you find a stat that yeah uh here's a can you go back a year yeah let me look maybe i can find one game where he ranked high on pass block it's more of a uh him not maybe it's not him sticking into block is what we're remembering i think in 2013 he was a better pass blocker but hey

I don't really care if I'm wrong about this. So moving on to the injury prone, now arrested for pot possession, Ahmad Bradshaw. Does anybody, I mean, he'll probably produce next year. So does anybody want to draft him? He feels so much older than he is. And he's actually getting older. He is getting older. But I thought he was 30 about three years ago. Yep, I know. I did too.

Well, because he played for the Giants for about 15, 20 years. And he's always injured. He plays through injuries, I think. He does play through injuries. He's a tough guy. Until they take him all the way out. Right. But then, yeah, he's somebody that scares me. I would definitely pick him up late in a draft because he's constantly scared me and constantly produced. But he's definitely somebody that is not, is not.

It's not exciting. And I really think he's going to be supplanted in free agency, big time. I think they're going to bring in someone, you know, an AP or Frank Gore or somebody that's going to come in there and be a big free agent fantasy find for some alliteration. Yes. It's very nice. In the offseason. I strongly agree with Indianapolis. It's going to make a move for a running back. I really think they are. They will turn Richardson is gone.

Bradshaw, maybe they bring him back for real cheap, but with a possible suspension looming over his head. I don't know what the new drug policy is for where he is. Is it his first time? I don't know. But Indianapolis, they showed, or I guess it was shown to them, they need a running game. They need something to help out luck if they want to be serious about winning.

A Super Bowl. Their team was completely different with Amad Bradshaw in the lineup as their primary running back. He is one of the most ferocious runners in the league. And here's something to chew on. He'll probably get, I mean, we don't know, I guess, the outcome, but he'll probably get a suspension or something for this. So I mean, I don't know what, you think, this season? It's possible. Definitely possible. Because if he pleads out or something, he might just take a suspension. The two games. But here's something to chew on. He's 28, right? He has.

Just over 1,000 carries in his career compared to somebody like Matt Forte that has over 1,900 carries. Wow. So even though he's been in the year, in the year, he's been in the league for seven, eight years, the way he ran when healthy. I mean, he's got to stay healthy. Well, that's the problem, though. But he passes the eye test. On the field, he passes the eye test. But some guys like Justin Foreset, who didn't have a lot of carries through his career, the reason was because he was behind.

excellent runners. Ahmaud Bradshaw, the reason he's only got a thousand is because he's constantly injured and off the field. No, I don't agree with you. He was behind Brandon Jacobs. Yeah, there were... He was. He was behind Brandon Jacobs for years. There was a time period where... Let me give you his care. Who's the third guy? Let me give you his carries. He had 23 carries and then 67 his first two years. So just throw those out. He had basically four years in New York where he...

was healthy, 15, 16, 12, and 14 games. He had 163 carries, 276 carries, so that was a pretty full year, 171, and 221. So, I mean, career average 4.6 per carry over a long period of time, catches passes. I think he's back in Indianapolis. That's my prediction is that he's back in Indianapolis. Do I think he's the primary? No, I don't. I think they will bring somebody in. I think Richardson's gone. I think...

Boom Heron's third string, and I think Bradshaw's back on a one-year deal. That's my prediction. Boom-Haron's a good point of do the Colts feel that they can get from Boom-Haron what they got from Bradshaw? I think the answer is no. Or even what they got from Boom-Haron when he played. I mean, can he do that? Because he was decent for a time. Yeah, but saying if they bring somebody else in, do they feel like they can just reproduce the production of Bradshaw with Heron and then New Player X?

No, I agree with Andy that Bradshaw's going to be back and that they'll give him that role. He was excellent. I mean, I don't see why they wouldn't. And like you pointed out, his, well, yeah. Hey, he was injured his first year. He only played three games. They brought him back for 10 last year. Yeah. Let's talk about everybody's favorite player, Darren McFadden.

He's out in Oakland. He is gone. I think he's 27 years old. And I've got three possible landing spots. You guys tell me what you think about these, which is the most likely. I have Cincinnati, reuniting with Jackson there, who actually knew how to use him. I have Miami.

as a possible landing spot, which I don't think would be the worst thing in the world. And I have Minnesota if Adrian Peterson was to leave as a possible landing spot for Darren McFadden. Does he have anything in the tank? Does he have any fantasy value? Where does he end up? Of those three, Mike, let's answer at the same time. One, two, three, Cincinnati. See, we're agreed.

I don't see there's any way he goes to Cincinnati with, I know Hughes there, but. I think that's just like two, I think people just make the Q connection too much there. Well, I mean, the Jeremy Hill has exploded on the scene. Geo Bernard is still there. If you take your shit off right now, is there a Jeremy Hill tattoo on your chest? It's not completed yet. It's not colored. I got to get the orange done. Half bangle, half Jeremy Hill, bursting across your chest.

But there's no reason to pay unless they're giving him absolute minimum to come be the third string running back. There's what's going on? Oh, I thought you were secretly opening a... I'm still thinking about that tattoo. Why don't you have tattoos of football players on your body? You got tattoos everywhere. It's going to be glorious when it's done. You need a little Mark Sanchez on your shoulder and like a... I'm not a Sanchez guy. But the Jeremy Hill tattoo is coming.

I don't think there's any way he goes there. I believe Minnesota, a reason they would be willing to move on is Mr. He went to Jerich's McKinnon himself. He went to Jerich. And the plotter, Asiata. But I don't think he goes there. Miami makes sense they're going to need another guy. So does he have a chance to produce fantasy-wise for all their owners? To me, no.

No way. I don't think we need to talk about him anymore. No Sean Moreno, torn ACL from Miami. Is he back there? And if he is, does he just kind of resume? Is he one of those guys that nobody wants to draft, but he just takes over and does well? And how does he battle Darren McFadden there? I know this year, once we get to the later rounds, I'm not making the mistake again. I'm drafting Noshan.

I don't care if he's my first cut, but he's going to be on the bowl for my team. Filming twice? Yeah. So his, if we don't remember, week one, 24 carries, 134 yards in a touchdown. Yeah, he was a beast. And then there, then it was the dislocated elbow, missed some weeks, came back in for a torn ACL. But he's just, he is an enigma of people keep overlooking, and I'm talking when I say people,

professional NFL teams and but when he gives when he gets the carries he is ow when he gets to carries he is a ferocious runner and he is the he's on record Guinness verified this he has the biggest teardrops in the history of mankind I just saw that picture again today

I don't know what No Sean Reno is. Nobody does. He was a first-round draft pick. Everyone thought he'd be good. He looked horrible. Now I feel like he just runs as hard as he possibly can on every single play. And you saw a humongous difference predicted by yours truly. Between Monte Ball and Nooram Reno in the Denver offense last year, there was just such a marked...

It seemed like an effort difference. It's not just that. It's skill. You've always actually had No Sean Moreno going back several years to his breakout season. You've had him well pegged. It's like when I think of you and No Sean Moreno, I think of kindred spirits. And so tell us where he's going, because I don't think he's going to Miami. Yeah, you would know better than anybody. Clearly. Yeah, I'm going to predict Noshan Marino's landing. Audience, here's where Noshan Moreno goes. You don't think he's going back to Miami, though. No, there's reports out of there that they want to move on from him.

Well, I think he could surprise. He could be a guy that he goes to my end. He could be a guy that lands in a spot and people, he could land in one of those spots where a team was looking for one of the top tier guys, whether it was trading for an AP or a shady, whether it was signing one of the, you know, DeMarco, Spiller, or Matthews. And he lands there and produces, you know, San Diego, I think would be great for Notre Dame. Arizona.

He's definitely a guy worth drafting. He's a guy worth drafting in fantasy because just like Mike pointed out, he can be your first cut. That's fine. Use your last picks to draft guys that are fine to cut but could blow up. And you've seen just, you know, he's got the talent, he's got the skill, he's got the experience and the history of being able to do that. And he surprises everybody. And you will, here's what I do know, you'll be able to get him in your draft.
