Q & A
Who does the speaker recommend as the first 'buy' at the running back position?
-The first 'buy' at the running back position recommended is Zamir White of the Las Vegas Raiders.
What was the reason for optimism regarding Zamir White's performance in week two?
-The reason for optimism regarding Zamir White's performance in week two was a significant increase in workload, with over 60% of the snaps, over 50% of the team rushing attempts, and 53% of the team targets.
What does the speaker suggest about potentially trading a wide receiver for Zamir White?
-The speaker suggests that if you drafted a zero running back team and have a wide receiver like Khil Shakir sitting on your bench, you could trade them for a guy like Zamir White to increase your running back touches.
Who is the expensive 'buy' at the running back position mentioned in the script?
-The expensive 'buy' at the running back position mentioned is Jonathan Taylor.
Why is Jonathan Taylor considered a good 'buy' despite the Colts' negative game script?
-Jonathan Taylor is considered a good 'buy' because he had 95% of the snaps in week one and is expected to have more red zone opportunities as the Colts' offense improves with the return of Michael Pittman Jr. and better play from Anthony Richardson.
What is the speaker's opinion on the Carolina Panthers' offense?
-The speaker is quietly optimistic about the Panthers' offense, noting that the offensive line has performed better than expected and that Andy Dalton could provide stability at the quarterback position.
Who is the gritty 'buy' suggested for the running back position and why?
-The gritty 'buy' suggested is Jonathan Brooks of the Carolina Panthers. The reason is that despite the team's poor start, the speaker believes in Brooks' potential as an rb2 level appeal once he returns from injury and the offense stabilizes.
What is the speaker's stance on trading for Travis Etienne?
-The speaker believes Travis Etienne is a good buy because he averages good PPR points and the Jaguars' offense is expected to improve, especially with the potential for more passing plays which could increase Etienne's receiving workload.
Why is Alvin Kamara considered a 'sell high' candidate according to the speaker?
-Alvin Kamara is considered a 'sell high' candidate because he is currently performing exceptionally well, but the speaker believes the Saints' offense, and by extension Kamara's production, is overperforming and due for regression.
What is the advice given regarding JK Dobbins' current market value?
-The advice given is to sell JK Dobbins if his market value is that of a top-five running back because his current usage does not match that of other top-five running backs, and any potential negative incident could significantly devalue him.
Outlines
🏈 Zamir White's Potential Upside
The first paragraph discusses the Las Vegas Raiders' running back Zamir White, who despite being on a struggling team, shows promise due to his increased workload. White's performance in week two, where he had over 60% of snaps and 50% of the team's rushing attempts, indicates a significant role. The speaker suggests that if White continues to get this kind of usage, he could be a valuable fantasy football asset, especially for those who drafted a high-profile running back but are underperforming. The suggestion is to possibly trade a bench receiver for White, aiming to capitalize on his potential increased touches.
🚀 Jonathan Taylor's Undervalued Opportunity
In the second paragraph, the focus is on Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts, who, despite a decrease in snaps due to a negative game script, is considered a strong buy. The speaker argues that Taylor's usage in week one was high, and the reduced usage in week two was likely an anomaly. They predict that with the return of Josh DS and a potential shift in the Colts' offensive strategy, Taylor's value in the red zone could increase. The paragraph suggests that Taylor could be a mid-round two level asset, and if available at a discount, he's a smart acquisition for fantasy teams.
🤔 Jonathan Brooks: A Risky, Yet Promising Prospect
Paragraph three talks about Jonathan Brooks of the Carolina Panthers, who has been sidelined due to injury but is anticipated to return. The speaker expresses cautious optimism about Brooks's potential, given the Panthers' improved offensive line and the possibility of a more stable quarterback situation with Andy Dalton. They suggest that Brooks, who has a three-down profile, could be an rb2 level player and might be undervalued due to the team's poor start. The advice is to consider acquiring Brooks before his potential rise in value once he returns to the field.
📈 Travis Etienne's Fluctuating Value
The fourth paragraph centers on Travis Etienne of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who despite his team's offensive struggles, is averaging decent PPR points. The speaker believes that Etienne's value might be undervalued due to the team's poor performances but sees potential for improvement. They suggest that if the Jaguars adjust their strategy to involve more passing, Etienne's receiving workload could increase, boosting his fantasy value. The speaker proposes exploring trades that could net Etienne plus additional value in exchange for other assets.
🔍 Alvin Kamara's High-Risk, High-Reward Status
The final paragraph addresses Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints, who is performing exceptionally well but whose value might be overinflated due to his team's strong start. The speaker advises selling high on Kamara, especially if one can acquire top-tier running backs like Christian McCaffrey or others in addition to Kamara. They argue that Kamara's current value might be unsustainable and that his efficiency could decline, making it wise to capitalize on his current market value. The paragraph suggests that Kamara is a prime candidate for a sell-high strategy in fantasy football.

Transcripts
we are bringing you guys a bunch of buys
and sells at the running back position
earlier today we talked about wide
receivers we were going to do these all
inone video but there is a lot of great
buys out there this week so we broke it
up into two videos Danny let's not waste
any time let's talk about your first buy
at the running back position yeah and I
would plug my nose if I were you guys
watching right now because this is a guy
that is pretty stinky is on a bad
offense but the workload would indicate
better days are ahead for zamir white
running back obviously of the Las Vegas
Raiders and when it comes to zamir white
for me it is pretty simple as this
people were drafting zamir white for the
early season production that he would
bring he was going to get a ton of
touches he was going to carry the ball a
ton we obviously heard Antonio Pierce
talking a very good name of zamir white
across the entirety of the off season
but the fantasy points just haven't
followed so far he's actually scored 6.8
PPR points in both of his first two
weeks but the reason why I'm impressed
with what he was able to do in week two
is we saw a big time usage uptick week
one we were saying like oh is Antonio
Pierce a fraud like he was talking about
all this offseason that he wants to feed
his Bell cow running back which he's
referred to as air white eyes oh he's
the focal point of our offense he's our
offensive identity we want to feed him
that didn't end up happening in week one
however in week two over 60% of the
snaps over 50% of the team rushing
attempts and most importantly 53% of the
team rades this was a guy that was
viewed as a two down Banger this was a
guy that could be game scripted out of
games that was a thesis that we had
coming into the year but if he's going
to be playing over 50% of the team
routes and actually getting some Targets
in the passing game I do think he's a
much better projection than he was
coming into the season we also have
heard Antonio Pierce literally double
down that they want to get zamir white
the ball and I do think that's going to
be the case moving forward if these
snaps keep up zamir white should be in
the running for 15 plus week de touches
if you drafted a hero running back team
zamir white might be the cheapest
projectable volume in fantasy right now
yeah like I think prior to last week I
would have said Devon Singletary was but
then Deon single had a great game so you
could definitely make the argument that
right now let's say you drafted a hero
RB build and you were counting on Chase
Brown and Rico D and guys that we told
you to draft that haven't necessarily
worked out so far you could probably
trade your bench khil Shakir or whatever
receiver that you have sitting on your
bench out for a guy like zamir white and
Bank some touches behind your Bree hall
or your Devon hn or whatever running
back that you might have anchoring out
your core so I do like that call
especially for people that watch us
there's probably a good chance that you
guys are maybe in need of some cheap
running back reduction the other guys
that we're going to talk about in this
video definitely more on the expensive
side particularly the two that I'm
talking about um but I do think if
you're going to go cheap zamir white is
is virtually free and like there's a
good chance he might even be dropped in
some people's leagues yeah I mean people
are going to see the points people are
going to think about the Raiders offense
people are going to see how good the
passing weapons have been and think well
zamir white is just not going to be the
guy that I drafted him to be and people
might have drafted him you know in the
fifth sixth seventh round but because of
how reactionary leagues are he might be
viewed as a mid tier type of bench
option for a lot of people especially
I'm telling you right now a lot of the
people that drafted Samir white probably
drafted him as their rb3 rb4 and just
have no expectations for him right now
yeah no exactly I think he's one of the
cheapest volume bets that you can
probably get and also too like mchu
Bowers Adams this offense is looking
better than we thought it was going to
like I I said it on the wide receiver
video but I thought with Devonte Adams
specifically my biggest concern was like
the Carolina Panthers what they look
like I thought that's what the Raiders
were going to look like and the Raiders
look functional they don't look great
they're not awesome offense but they
look functional and they just literally
Ravens they literally just beat one of
the best AFC contenders in the NFL so
yeah I mean they hung 26 on the Ravens
defense that only allowed 27 to the
Chiefs so again I'm not saying that the
Raiders are going to be one point within
the Chiefs on a weekly basis but that
goes to show you that maybe they aren't
the complete dumpster fire that some
including us may have projected yeah
absolutely so uh my running back buy is
going to cost you a pretty penny but
Jonathan Taylor I think is one of the
best I you don't really see often that
in sharp and in home casual leagues
there's a guy that is a buy universally
across the board and to me sharp League
mates are going to look at the fact that
he played 49% of the snaps and that and
you it was literally your reaction when
I said Jonathan Taylor should be a good
buy because it was a negative game
script they were losing to the Packers
in the second half they took Jonathan
Taylor off the field in favor of Trey
Surman and some of the guys that I guess
they trust more to run routes and pass
protect but the reason I'm not worried
about Jonathan Taylor is this number one
he had 95% of the snaps in week one and
they were losing for three quarters of
that game so I think it was a blip on
the radar type of situation usage wise
they trailed for literally every minute
of that game except for 10 against the
Houston Texans in week one I also think
that the janga piece of this offense is
Anthony Richardson running and Anthony
Richardson did not run that much in week
two and I think Shane Sten is a very
smart coach I think he's going to look
at the film and he's going to say kid
you can't throw the ball like you threw
it against Green Bay and expect to win
if you can't throw the ball down field
and make the easy layups you should be
running and I think that is going to
help Jonathan Taylor the most and I also
think that the Colts offense getting
Josh DS back which I think he will be
back this week is a massive Jenga piece
of the offense as well because Anthony
Richardson has no over the-middle
consistent production right now they
don't have a tight end to speak of Alec
Pierce is playing well but he's a deep
threat ad Mitchell has looked pretty
decent at times but he's a deep threat
Michael Pitman is not playing at a high
level right now I think that Jonathan
Taylor will be in a better situation
going forward with this offense Anthony
Richardson has started like five NFL
games like there's a very good chance
going into week six week seven week
eight week 10 that the Colts offense
looks more and more functional and
Anthony Richardson looks better and
better and to me I think Josh downs and
him running is how he's going to get by
for the next couple of weeks and it's
going to help Jonathan Taylor get Red
Zone opportunities because the bottom
line is that is where Jonathan Taylor is
valuable is in the red zone he's not
ever going to be a great Elite Target
share running back we know this now for
the last five years he's been in the
league I'll push back a little bit
because I do think there is some concern
there specifically because of what we
saw in week one because in week one we
saw him handle 88% of the long down and
distance snaps we saw him handle 100% of
the short down and distance snaps and we
didn't really see that come to fruition
this week again I'm still on board which
game were they more competitive in and
which game did Richardson look better in
that's what I'm thinking siken is gonna
be like okay we need Taylor on the field
that was stupid of us to not do that I
agree I'm just saying I do think after
week one we could have possibly thought
okay 88% of the routes maybe he would
get some type of receiving work but I
think honestly after this week my view
of him coming into the season is about
where I am at with him and again if
people are viewing him as lesser than
they had him coming into the season
that's when you want to be buying I just
thought after week one maybe we could
have seen a little bit more of a jump in
the receiving game which we didn't again
I'm still comfortable projecting him as
a mid round two level asset so if you
can get him for round three price tages
because he's only averaging 13.2 PPR
points per game obviously he's still
going to be a buy yeah and like when you
look at who they're playing the next
couple of weeks the teams that they're
playing you don't want to throw the ball
against them the Chicago Bears you don't
want to throw the ball against them you
want to run the ball they're top seven
defense in dvoa against the pass right
now and the Pittsburgh Steelers is their
next opponent you do not want to throw
the ball against the Pittsburgh Steelers
their top five defense in defensive dvoa
against the paths right now and even the
Jaguars and Titans like they've actually
been pretty good against the pass and
lesser against the run so I do think
that Jonathan Taylor has some better
matchups coming out uh coming up and I
do think that Anthony Richardson is
going to start to play a little bit
better he had I think he had a bit of a
rote Awakening I trust that he's a smart
enough quarterback and Sh Shane Sten is
coaching him well enough to know that
they're going to adjust the game plan as
he learns what he can and can't get away
with last week was one of those games
where you're like you just can't make
that throw you can't do that you can't
um you know all the things that he
missed and messed up last week it was
learning experiences this a quarterback
in his fifth NFL start right now yeah
100% this offense will be better and
like you said the touchdown Equity that
Jonathan Taylor has in this offense is
massive so I agree with you in that
regard I do still think he's a buy but I
will say if people are thinking that
maybe he can be a 88% route share player
maybe more of a receiving threat that is
where I think I would disagree in
however again even if you're just
getting the goal line touches the
touchdown equity in this offense he has
a mid-range rb1 to late end rb1 type of
projection regardless yeah I still think
he could be a highend rb1 I think the
offense could end up being good he's a
highend rb1 because if he he's scoring
every game he can be a high and rb1
that's where I'm at with him he's my rb6
rest of the season for that reason yeah
again I have him I believe rb7 the only
difference I have is actually one of the
Cs you have listed later so we'll get
into that in a second but um ju I just
view the weekly ceilings of guys like
you know Barkley hen bjon Bree Hall uh
whichever 49ers running back is in the
game as having a higher weekly s than
Jonathan Taylor well I mean every one of
those guys is ranked higher than
Jonathan Taylor except for Jordan Mason
for me so I I'm not on any different
page with that fair enough fair enough
so uh we'll move on to my second buy and
this one's a little gritty this one
takes a little bit of Galaxy brain I
understand you're going to hear the
offense at this guy's on and think well
I don't want assets from the Carolina
Panthers but Jonathan Brooks is
different and again this is a Galaxy
brain but let's just paint the picture
the guy who drafted Brooks in your
league I understand he understood going
into that draft pick he has to be
patient he's not going to play the first
four games it was more of a long-term
play but since he made that draft pick
the Carolina Panthers have look like an
0 and 17 football team that just BS
their former first overall pick if he is
panicking right now thinking that this
offense is going to be a dumpster fire
and Jonathan Brooks when he comes back
is just going to be on the worst offense
in the NFL there's no upside here I'm
actually quietly optimistic about the
Panthers offense I know that sounds
disgusting you're probably watching this
like how can you be excited about this
Panthers offense they have literally
looked horrific to start the season Andy
Dalton is actually quite the floor
raiser for this team and this offensive
line has been playing a lot better than
people want to anticipate I mean this is
actually tweeted out by Panthers 247 but
the overall Panthers offensive line unit
has quietly been one of the more
impressive units compared to expectation
coming to the year people expected this
to be an awful offensive line but the
free agency Acquisitions they made
obviously Robert hunt Damen Lewis the
two big-time guards EA makanu going into
his third season at tackle have really
helped establish this offensive line the
problem honestly has been I hate to
admit this Bryce young it looks like he
doesn't trust the situation around him
and that was the reason he got benched
there was literally reports that in the
locker room the wide receivers the
offensive line had seen enough of Bryce
young which is why he got benched Andy
Dalton back there veteran quarterback
when Jonathan Brooks comes back I think
he has an rb2 level appeal and people
are basically treating him in as
treating him as a throw in at this point
because they don't trust the offense
they don't trust him coming off the
injury and they know that if they
drafted Jonathan Brooks in the seventh
round eighth round it's much more likely
that they're 0 and2 or one and one than
two- 0 at this current point because
they invested that Capital into Brook so
if they're panicking they need to play
this week might be able to get a Plus on
top of Jonathan Brooks for like your
Brian Robinson and I would do that every
single time yeah especially if you can
handle you know holding him for another
I would say you won't be able to start
Jonathan Brooks even though he's slated
to come back in week five probably you
probably won't be able to start him
until week six week seven probably so uh
that's that's where I'd be at with
Jonathan Brooks make sure your position
is that you're two and0 and that you
have depth and that you can handle
losing them like for example in my home
League I drafted Jonathan Brooks I'm one
and one right now I ran a hero RB
Jonathan Brooks was always GNA be my
late season rb2 behind Bree Hall but I
locked into JK Dobbins so I'm not P at
all on Jonathan Brooks so if your team
is in that position then you obviously
wouldn't want to be selling Jonathan
Brooks conversely but if your team is in
let's say the inverse position where I
have Bree Hall and I have no running
back two right now then maybe somebody
would be SE willing to sell Jonathan
Brooks off for a Brian Robinson or
somebody like that yeah on top of that
the also underrated part about Jonathan
Brooks is he has a complete three- down
profile it's not like you're getting a
two down back when he comes back two
down backs then we're a little bit more
concerned about the offensive prowess in
terms of game scripts but tell you right
now out of him chuba hubard miles
Sanders who's going to get the third
down snaps who's going to get the long
down and distance snaps it's going to be
Jonathan Brooks because he was an elite
receiving Prospect coming out of Texas
yeah and the other guys have looked
awful so far and maybe they look better
because Andy Dalton has like a Mike
White on the Jets effect of this offense
once Zach Wilson was benched we saw what
Mike White did to the rest of the
offense it's possible that that's where
Bryce young is at in the locker room
right now but uh regardless I think if
you're going to if that's going to
happen you should buy Brooks before it
happens right if if Andy Dalton looks
fine and he's going to be a you know
functional stabilizing force on this
offense then Jonathan Brooks going be
worth a lot more once he comes back than
he was um you know in the current
iteration of what we've seen of Carolina
and I guess you can say that I can put
put him on this list in week three and
week four once we have more information
I'm genuinely nervous that Andy dson is
going to go out there this offense is
going to look like a complete dumpster
fire and people are going to realize
that Jonathan Brooks has upside when he
comes back so the reason why he is on
this week's trade Target show and not
next week's or the week Afters is I
think the pessimism on the panther
situation is as dire as it will be yeah
and it's possible though that Andy
Dalton looks just as bad as Bryce young
did and they lose to the Raiders and
they're not in a very good spot but also
possible that Andy Dalton Mike whites
this offense like I said and then you're
buying Windows officially closed on
Jonathan Brooks because the person who
drafted Jonathan Brooks is like okay
yeah Andy Dalton's gonna be great for
this team and Jonathan Brooks G be an
rb1 by the time he gets back so uh
Travis etn is the last buy of this video
and I think etn is one of these guys
that is such an easy target to hate on
because he fumbles the ball when he's
not supposed to but he's averaging 14.3
PPR points in probably like a floor
situation for Jacksonville they scored
less than 20 points in the last two
games that they've played they blew a
lead in week one the bills Texans and
Colts are their next couple matchups
specifically the bills and Texans being
offenses that can score and I don't
believe that Trevor Lawrence and this
team are going to fall to 0 and four I
think that they're going to be
competitive they have a good quarterback
they have a good passing game they have
a good running back specifically Travis
etn who was top eight running back in
Fantasy last year and tank bsby is now
probably going to be out for the next
couple weeks months maybe with the
shoulder injury that he suffered so
you're getting Travis CN a guy who
projects as a mid rb1 always has always
will in this offense that I think will
start to perform better I think they're
going to go back to the drawing board
look at the tape what isn't working what
is and what isn't working for the
Jacksonville Jaguars right now is that
they're trying to be a runhe heavy
offense and that might sound like
contradiction for Travis etn but Travis
etn is a phenomenal receiver and if they
throw the ball more and they're they're
looking at Brian Thomas open every
single route and they're looking at
Christian Kirk doing his thing and you
know whatever else they're going to
decide probably especially against the
bills and Texans who are going to put up
points that they need to throw the ball
more and that's where Travis cn's
receiving workload could come from so
some of the trades that you guys can see
here where you can uh you know downgrade
from Devonte Adams in case you're in
need of a running back I think that's a
totally fine move to make if you can
send off uh this one trade here this
Jamar Chase Calvin Ridley and David
Montgomery trade for CD lamb Travis etn
and lock it just as a throw in I think
you're upgrading your starting lineup in
that situation from David Montgomery as
well and if you don't need the wide
receiver depth with that Calvin Ridley
side of that deal it makes sense so for
me I look at Travis etn and I I think
you know this might be a hot take
because my number one sell we're gonna
talk about in a second and we can maybe
even just pivot right into it I would
rather have etn than Alvin cero rest of
the season you're crazy you're crazy I
would still take CRA because chimra is
literally the rv1 in fantasy attached to
a top five to 10 offense I like etn the
Jag are nowhere close to the same I
think both of these offenses will
balance out to middle of the road
offenses over the next four to five
weeks I think Bay BU as far as how good
of an offense they are that sounds like
Buccaneers copium to me again I agree
that people are going to be severely
downgrading etn right now and people are
going to be overvaluing chimra but to
say you take etn over cherra that that's
outrageous I I I really think that's
outrageous at this point I mean you
could easily get etn Plus for Chima but
even straight up if I was forced to make
the decision I would prefer CRA because
the other thesis of CRA and let's just
pivot right into him because he is my
number one cell it's all about price
with CRA chimra is expensive as
right now if you drafted him in the
fourth fifth sixth round and nobody's
willing to give you rb1 or top five top
10 RB production then by all means keep
Alvin CRA it's all about price so we
always talk about and there's a good
chance you're two and0 if you drafted
Alvin chimra because he is in a really
really good spot and he had 40 points
this past week 33 points per game so far
he's been outstanding but Alvin chra
this is precisely why you should look to
tear up specifically if you can get
close to Bree beon Barkley aan Gibbs
anybody like that the reason for that is
because C is doing so great he looks so
great this offense is so great Clint
kubak is a genius Derek Carr
looks like an MVP candidate I get that
but is that gonna continue do we
actually think that the Saints are going
to be top five offense in the NFL to me
I think they are probably more likely a
top 15 offense that is overperforming
our expectations for them coming into
the season but they're not going to
continue to put up 40 points against
playoff contenders every single week and
it's the same thing I said about Shahed
in our wide receiver video I think this
is a great offense I think it has a
chance to be a really good offense but I
think they've been overperforming the
last two weeks it's all optimism no
pessimism on Alvin CRA he's still old he
could still get banged up he could still
lose some efficiency I'm not going to
count on kendre Miller coming back to
eaten do his workload his workload is
probably fine but I think the efficiency
side of things the second he deals with
a tweaked ankle or something is
something that could um result in it
being worse and same goes for Derek Carr
in the way that the rest of the offense
is playing fantasy football regression
candidates according to Hayden Winks
Alvin CH is right up there he is like
the number one regression candidate in
fantasy he had I think he was RB 10 in
expected usage coming into the week and
he had 44 points in fantasy because he
scored a million times yeah no I I don't
disagree of Alvin chra being a sell high
but I'm not selling high for etn like
I'm not selling him for etn again you
would need a market value you should be
able to get etn Plus for him and if it's
etn plus a significant piece I'm
perfectly fine with it said again that's
my rb6 versus I believe my rb10 rb9 on
the season with etn so I don't think
it's outrageous with the principal I
just think saying etn over him straight
up is outrageous at this point knowing
that camra's market man like you said
you might be able to get any running
back Sans Bree Hall and bejon Robinson
for Alvin cero on the market right now
and that's why I agree with the with the
theory of trading him on the market
because if you can get Barkley hen you
can get Jon you might be able to get
Jonathan Taylor Plus or I mean if we're
looking at that range of running backs
let's just say uh like what's another
one in that range that we can think of
um somebody would be willing to probably
give you like James Cook and tank Dell
for for Alvin CRA right now you know
what I mean like that's where we're at
and I would do again with etn too it's
like try and get another piece on top of
him for Alvin chra if you can um but
it's also possible you're not able to do
that and again and in that case you hold
chimra if Chima is valued appropriately
the same with any sell that we talk
about for the rest of the season Alvin
CRA to me is RB 10 rest of season rb9
rest of season if that's about what he's
valued as in your league then you just
hold him yeah I mean I would agree with
that theory if people are just devaluing
Alvin CA if they say okay you know it's
a hot start but I need to see more hold
on to it because at least for the next
few weeks you know you got a top three
to five running back in terms of where
I'm going to be ranking him that's for
sure yeah yeah it's all about price
right if if if you had a stock that I
told you was going to be worth $10 10
days from now and it's currently worth
$50 would you sell it like obviously
that's basically how we approach where
the fantasy Stock Exchange that's how we
approach these players Alvin C is a
backend rb1 maybe a mid rb1 at the best
case scenario I will fight back on one
little thing with that is if you do have
a $50 stock worth today if you can sell
that stock for $35 straight up I'm not
doing that however if you can sell that
stock for a $35 stock plus a $10 stock
and you're taking a $5 loss with the
concern with the pessimism and mo go
down to $10 I'm cool with making that
type of transition I'm fine taking a
slight loss in terms of current value
knowing that when I'm projecting the
future value I don't view it as being on
par with what it's currently worth today
but that doesn't mean I'm just selling
it to sell it yeah and again I I view
etn as equal value to Camaro so it's $50
stock for $50 stock except one I think
is going up and one I think is going
down that's the way I look at it between
those two guys yeah I would definitely
need a Plus on top but moving off of
Alvin CRA again a running back that we
weren't the highest on coming into the
season we'll talk a running back that we
were high on and specifically you were
high on as I believe he was the number
one sleeper you had on your sleeper
video this year JK Dobbins of the LA
Chargers look we are JK Dobbins fans I
hope I eat complete Crow here I hope
he's a top five running backr this
season because I mean I love JK Dobbins
he's efficient he breaks tackles he
looks like he's one of the best running
backs in the NFL at this current point
however given his current market value
he's a mandatory sell because he's
currently a top five running back in
fantasy football and he is not getting
remotely the usage of the other top five
running backs like we're talking about
him compared to the bejon Robinson the
Bri Halls some of the other top
producing running backs in fantasy
football thus far he's doing it on a 53%
snapshare a 40% carry share and 53% of
their notes again fine usage rb2 high in
rb2 low on rb1 level usage but he's
currently being treated as a top five
running back on the market because he's
averaging over 20 PPR points per game on
top of that people were so anti- JK
Dobbins coming into the season that if
one hiccup has happens he has one bad
game or he misses two weeks with a lower
body concern we know what people are
going to be saying about JK dobins he's
injury-prone I don't want him on my
roster he's worth nothing he is the
volatile type of asset where if any
single negative happened to JK Dobbins
people would completely write him off so
I would play at the inverse I love JK
Dobbins but if people are treating him
like an rb1 rest of season because he's
currently a top five running back I will
be selling him for safer maintain value
bets and again we see some of the these
deals here like if you can maybe it's
not you know JK dobins plus George
Pickins for Hunter Henry and James Cook
because I actually do like George Pickin
but the theory here is if you can move
JK Dobbins plus a small piece to get to
James Cook I'm doing that every time can
you move Deontay Johnson plus JK doin
for Garrett Wilson obviously you're
doing that you can sell him straight up
for Mike emons you're absolutely doing
that again another one in theory if you
can take JK dobins plus a piece and go
up to Crystal La I'm doing that as well
again that piece isn't going to be jayen
Wadd for me but the point remains if you
can use JK Dobbins plus a piece to tear
up into a stud asset I think you should
be able to because if people see their
trade inbox and they see oh my God I'm
getting the rb5 in fantasy plus a solid
piece to move off of my Chris to move
off of my Brandon auk my Jonathan Taylor
you should be exploring your options
yeah he's the classic two for one
sweetener and I talked about it in the
wide receiver video I keep getting trade
offers about tank Dell in our flock
league in my home League everybody wants
JK dolins literally everybody wants JK
dolins the nice thing is that if JK
Dobbins is just a mid rb2 rest of season
like we kind of view him to be you
didn't spend mid rb2 prices to get him
so that's totally fine I would say he's
more of a shop than a sell if you can
get close to rb1 value for this guy then
you absolutely take what you can get for
him but if everybody values him as a mid
rb2 and it's like Kenneth Walker or JK
Dobbins probably a wash Derrick Henry or
JK Dobbins probably a wash that's where
he should be valued so if that's how
your league views him then exactly don't
do anything just keep your profit on
your 12th round pick and keep using them
yeah pretty much I mean it was a free
bargain for a reason that's why he you
drafted him in the 14th round of your
league that's why you were drafting him
in the 16th round of your Underdog
drafts because I mean this is always a
theory where you're getting low
opportunity cost running back to
production and he's end up living up to
that expectation so again if you can get
rb1 price tags you're basically turning
in a guy that you spent a 14th rounder
or a 16th rounder on Underdog into a guy
that probably was selected in the first
two or three rounds of your drafts yeah
exactly it just makes sense to shop him
if you can uh again that is the end of
this video got some buys at the running
back position some sells at the running
back position leave a like if you
