RB Rankings Part 2 + Preseason Takeaways & BIG NEWS

context matters. It was later in the game. So paying attention, look, if you're, if you got a trash dynasty team, like I went, I went to look and say, okay, can I add Myers? Were you saying that you have a trash dynasty team? It almost sounded like it. No, I'm saying I went to look and I was like, ah, I don't have anybody to drop. Oh, but who has Myers in our dynasty league? What did you grab? Is that a self call? I got him a few days. Okay. So if you had a trash dynasty team, then you could pick them up. That's what I was saying. So who, who, uh, who got him?

I did walk right into that. The last one I want to talk about is because this is a, I've got to give him a tip of the cap. I was very excited in maybe a little admittedly negative fashion to see Daniel Jones come into the game for the Giants. He was very sharp. He made two passes in particular, a slant route to Golden Tate that was right on the money, a perfectly time pass, and then his touchdown to the corner.

was a sensational throw. I only bring that up to say, if Daniel Jones is actually showing anything to the Giants, it might be him playing into the job instead of just Eli losing the job. If he has a big preseason, the ground swell in New York will be huge. Yes. So you're right about that. A couple other quick takeaways for me.

Drake and Belage both got time. Belage was a little bit better. Miles and Howard on yards per carry wise. You're shaking your head over there. Did you want to change your opinion on the yards per carry? No, I saw you put that note in here. I guess we just saw it differently. The first quarter, Drake had the whole first series. Belage had the second series. That was all ones for me ones. And in the second series, Blanche had basically every play.

ran into the backfield tackled and got the ball thrown to him where he didn't pay attention and went to his back and then it was a three and out whereas drake did make some good plays with that first team and was the first guy up but belage did continue to have a good game after that okay miles Sanders uh jordan howard split first team work both didn't do much but neat to see miles earn his way onto the field with the ones early

Right now, Miles Sanders is one of the best values in all of fantasy football. Whether it lasts, I don't know. But you need to get a hold of him. If you're drafting any time in the near future, he's a value. Lamar Jackson, very solid in his debut. Josh Allen's still inaccurate. I hate it. Josh Allen does what Cam Newton does, which is look ridiculously bad on some throws and look ridiculously good on some throws. But you're right. That's fair. He looked like trash and then, oh.

There's the arm. Oh, wait. You know, it's just. It was so funny listening to the commentators. Josh Allen. Yes. That was the news. That's the news. Like two different times they're saying, you know, he's working on that intermediate, that short game. They've got Cole Beasley. He needs to stop throwing the ball far all the time. And every single time they said that. Snap. Look at me. Launch it. It was so funny. It was like on cue. Like he had them piped in. I would throw Darnold out there. Oh, yeah. He looked great.

an interception, the rest of the drive, I thought he looked great. So speaking to what you said yesterday, Andy, the belief that the Jets could level up here and Darnold could be better than we think, you know, pay attention to him as preseason goes on. I'm sure there are other storylines with your favorite team. We haven't covered, but look, the Browns look great. Oh, Baker. Baker was getting his Phil Collins on before the game. If you have a heart condition, do not watch the Brown's opening drive.

Because you will be deceased. Job looked great, too. All right. I think we'll pause it there. We've got the running backs to get into and some other news. We'll talk about some injuries here. Let's do it. News and notes from around the league. Presented my sleeper. All right. Speaking of sleeper, guys, we have some very, very, very big news. Huge.

This was not, we didn't know this was going to happen. We're just going about our just average day, which right now isn't very average with all that's going on in fantasy. But we were invited to a very, very, very special league on Sleeper by none other than Juju Smith Schuster. Oh, a star was born.

In your heart yesterday, could you contain yourself at the thought of, I assume you will just draft juju and trade him to juju. I will draft him one and trade him to juju for nothing in his honor. I got you, juju. Just like to bestow him? Yes. Well, he deserves himself. Here you are. Yourself. Now, that being said, we are co-owning a team in this league that also has Ninja in the league. Zach Effren's in the league. Carl Anthony Towns is in the league.

This is going to be high profile chance. Tim, the tap man's there. What up, Tim? I just want to smoke these people in trades. That's all I want to do is I want to, um, Jason, if you grab carry on, I may force you to trade them to ninja. Oh, for sure. I have to. Get that value. But here's what's so cool about this. We've been invited. We're in this league. And we are drafting tomorrow live.

11 a.m. Pacific, 2 p.m. Eastern. We're going to be streaming it live on YouTube. So if you want some extra Saturday content, obviously we're five days a week now. You had Saturday shows in July. You get one tomorrow. YouTube.com slash fantasy footballers. I apologize. Is it the fantasy footballers? It is the fantasy footballers. I would recommend you follow us as well, Mike. I've already subscribed, man. I don't have to remember. So you've heard us talk all off season about sleeper.

That's where our listener league, which, by the way, stop it. Stop sending in so many incredible. I'm feeling physical pain with the amount of incredible entries to the listener league. It's tough, man. Because we have to choose now. It's really tough. But we're doing that on Sleeper. Yes. This Celebrity League is on Sleeper. Their platform is awesome. It's the place to be playing your leagues. And you're about to draft. So just move, move now. Do it now. Do that. And then watch us.

Draft against these chumps. And everything's on the line, guys. It's time. This is not a mock. Tomorrow's not a mock draft show. Correct. Tomorrow's a draft show where we smoke juju. It's going to be awesome. You'll see basically everything you see from. I'll also race him. You'll say, well, that will be a loss. I'm feeling a little bit. That's why I'm, I'm a little bit too excited. It's going to be like a hundred thousand. Then we're going to arm wrestle.

100,000 to one odds. If I start from the... I'm still putting money on Juju. Juju. If I start from the 50 and he starts from the end zone? No, it's the full field. Oh. If I start from midfield and he starts at his own end zone, does he beat me? Yes. He probably does. 100%. It's a challenge. A formal challenge has been made. I don't know. At the 50? I think you could... YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers tomorrow, 11 a.m. Pacific.

See how we do. Move your league to sleeper. You won't regret it. All right. Some injury update news. Sad news for Jermaine Kirst last night. Yeah. He's done for the year. There was a lot of, you talk about the drum beat. I mean, he was having a great camp in Detroit. He's going to be done. David Chow, San Diego Union Tribunes, David Chow, one of the best injury experts out there. Dr. David Chow. Yes. Antonio Brown News. He believes Antonio Brown will be fine.

and ready to go for the season. He may not get a lot of time in camp, but believes he'll be ready for the season. So take that for what you will. We don't know the future, but right, he's not as worried as others are. Yeah, and it does mean he could get off to a slower start. Being ready for the season doesn't mean you get preseason. You don't get as much camp with the new offense. I've heard changing teams. That's not the best way to start. Right. It's true. And then you counter that with.

the hardest working best wide receiver in the history of the last 10 years. So, um, I like the pivot there. Yep. You thought I was going to say the game. The history of the last 10 years. Yeah, I wasn't going to go beyond that because it's not true. Uh, Jerich McKinnon. The, Jerry McKinnon will receive a platelet rich injection. His knee soreness continues. He would be sidelined a minimum of another two weeks. If you listen to Mike Shannon and talk about it.

He equivocates on any timeline. It's kind of like, we're just going to be patient with Jerich. The range of outcomes here is he could end up on IR. If he doesn't recover the way they want him to recover, they already took him off a pup. They can't put him back on pup. So this is not good for Jerich McKinnon. This is technically the second setback now for him. They were expecting to not have him on pup. Had to put him on pup because he was having an issue. Gave that time he comes back, it swells up. I think this is.

You know, I'm not anywhere. If I'm drafting now, Derek McKinnon is off the board. I'm not getting him for value, but Kevin Coleman and Matt Berita in that order. Yeah, I think there, look, if there was clarity to the San Francisco backfield, I think we'd all be all about it, right? So there's starting to be a little bit more clarity. I have nothing against Jerry McKinnon when I tweeted a few days ago about it. It has nothing to. I love the guy.

I wanted him to succeed last year. He's a great friend of the show. He's been on. He's been on the show. Things change in the NFL. That's just a pure factual thing. If you have an injury, you're going to be adjusted on your range of outcomes. And I don't know if he's going to be back on the field. Tevin Coleman's looking like a real steel. I spent so much time talking about Matt Berita because of the value of he's the last pick in every draft. But don't ignore Tevin Coleman.

Because that offense is going to run the football. Kyle Shanahan dominates when it comes to what he does with the running game, even last year. I mean, last year they didn't score a bunch, but oh my goodness, were they a great running team. And we did have an update on Kiki QT, who he went down. It looked like one of those horrific preseason situations. But at least according to Ian Rappaport, he's saying it's not a major ankle injury, but I would.

I would expect Kiki will be shut down for the preseason. Hopefully he's back week one. It's really rough mentally when a player who has an injury prone label immediately goes out and gets injured again. You just kind of go, okay, maybe this injury wasn't as serious as it looked at first, but I don't know, man. It's hard for me to put my confidence in my draft pick in that. Yeah, when he went down, people were, oh, not again. You know, and it affects,

Probably affects Duke Johnson. If QTee misses time, it also affects Deshaun Watson's output a little bit. I agree. But that's today's news and notes. Oh, my gosh. We got running back rankings, guys. I'm very excited. Before we get into that, I want to thank today's sponsor. You know I'm talking about manscape because they're number one and men's below the belt grooming.
