didn't have a prolonged starting role for the season. But those are the first two guys that come to mind of could really take that leap. Robbie Anderson. Sure, that's a good one. But that would because he's escaping the clutches of Adam Gates and the New York Jets. You think he can go somewhere and have an offense built around him, though? I think he can't. Oh, man, I do not. I don't think, I don't think he's going to make more money than, I'll probably make less than what Tyrell got on the open market.

54:49 ↗

Last year. He had a pretty decent contract, though. Yeah, but, I mean, did you think that the Raiders were going to build around Tyrell? No, because they also traded for Antonio Brown. Yeah. Look, I don't want to take anything away from... That's a good comeback. They traded for him, but then did Brown play for them? No. Did they build their offense around Tyro Williams? Did he show himself capable of it? I didn't think it would shift to that. Yeah. He doesn't all of a sudden become that guy. Generally, free agent-wide receivers of that tier, you certainly don't bring them in to be your...

55:19 ↗

I get it. Free agency for wide receivers. It's a more miss than it is a hit. It's more of a mis proposition. Yes. So when you look at running backs in that boat, somebody that has been sitting back playing second fiddle, being part of a team, is it the Melvin Gordon sharing time? Is it the Echler situation?

55:45 ↗

You know, is Kareem Hunt languishing? Yeah, Kareem Hunt would be. I think Hunt gets a starting job. Yeah, Kareem Hunt would be the guy that I think has been languishing, playing the second fiddle since his incident. And he'll, he has the opportunity to go out and have an offense built more around him in the running game. You know, it's really hard for a running back to be a backup and then come into, you know, unless they were a rookie and then come into relevance.

56:14 ↗

running backs tend to break out really young in their career. The reason that Derek Henry was able to do it is not because, you know, it was 100% because he was behind a star running back. They drafted him surprisingly when they had DeMarco Murray, the Titans did, and DeMarco Murray was great. So it wasn't like Derek Henry himself was poor. He just, you know, was, so you'd have to look at a team that has a star running back right now.

56:42 ↗

I mean, I guess maybe that's the Austin Echler, right? There's not many of them. I mean, when you look at the situations, there's nobody that you're sitting there where we've said, you know, Henry was that guy. This is the year for Henry. No, it's not. This is the year for Henry. No, it's not. I mean, there's nobody out there in, you know, maybe we're not remembering them right now. I would have said Rashad Penny. I would have loved to say that maybe. Or Aaron Jones last year was that guy, right? Yes, he was. So, yeah, I don't. Those are the names that come to mind.

57:11 ↗

All right, let's do one more here from Twitter, Jase. What's the best number of people to start a Dynasty League? As in owners? Yeah, the best number, if that's what this question is, which is how I interpret it, the best number is 10 or 12 committed owners. Like 12 would be the best, but I would so much rather, you can't, it's harder to change ownership. You want to keep dynasty owners around for a long time. And if you've got 12.

57:39 ↗

really close, you know, men and women that want to play this and they're committed. And then you've got a couple others that are like, they might be in, then I, but they're not sure. I would rather play with the 10, but 12 is actually in a dynasty. Yeah, but 12 is the best number because you could make the argument that if you start with 10, you're going to stay with 10 because expanding in a normal league ownership is easy. Expanding in a dynasty. Difficult. Very difficult. So.

58:09 ↗

12 is the best number because I think that's the context in which all the shows that you're listening to are talking about, you know, running back one being a top 12 guy, running back two being a top 24 guy. That's the context that most fantasy advice is given. So 12 is the best. But if you can't get 12 great owners, then 10. But you can get 12 great owners at footclanleagues. It helps. It certainly does. Hey, Judge Diomati.
