11 months ago

from from a Bell cow uh apartment or condo or house wherever you live to uh to the Carolina backfield where Miles Sanders joins a crowded backfield yes that's that was a much better yes that's how it's done right there miles Sanders hoping to be uh the Workhorse in Carolina probably a long shot I apologize to America he goes from the Eagles to Carolina for your 25 million dollars good money for Miles Sanders yes Danny let's look at the role here for Miles Sanders we know this is where a rookie q
uarterback will be starting for this team assuming they're going to take one number one overall uh the offensive line though on the come up some young players an ascending offensive line how do we project miles Sanders in this backfield the Carolina offensive line was dominant for the second half of last season and I I think unless you know unless something changes in the next couple months they should maintain some stability there it puts miles Sanders in a good spot to be an early down back bu
t there will be obviously a rotation not like your marital situation there will be you know he will not be a Workhorse in this backfield because you have chuba Hubbard you have maybe some other someone they're going to draft mile Sanders has no uh real usage as a pass catcher over the past couple years he I think he had 23 targets all of last year in the Philadelphia offense so I think you know he'll be a touchdown dependent rb2 at best so if you can stomach that in the middle rounds I guess you
go for it it's not all that inspiring though I have two questions for you Connor neither about Kristen um so one are we sure Andy Dalton isn't going to start and then two what do you think about now the trend is I mean previously the trend was Aaron Rodgers Brett Favre the rookie sits for a couple years then plays and now it's much more thrown to the wolves and after you know what you saw was Zach Wilson with the Jets and everything do you think that that trend is is right or do you think there
's a chance it's Dalton I think it's dependent on who they take right Anthony Richardson is a guy that wherever he goes which is going to be in the top five he should be awarded the you know luxury of sitting because he needs to he didn't play a lot in college when you look at Bryce young and CJ Stroud on the other hand they're going to be drafted to play because teams are trying to maximize those rookie quarterback contracts so I think that's what it'll come down to it'd be a big surprise if th
is team takes Anthony Richardson so it's looking like I and it's great to have Dalton there it's great to have McCown as the quarterback's coach really so much veteran leadership for that young guy but I think who they take a number one shroud or Bryce will ultimately be the week one starter okay yeah it also depends on sort of what kind of offense Frank Reich went like last year they they were crazy heavy right I mean they were sixth in total running back carries last year top 10 in running bac
k Red Zone carries like we would you know we were talking during the season like is it a tube of Hubbard week is it a daunting performance weekend turns out it was both yeah I mean like I mean they were both getting like 17 touches a game last year so we'll see that now that Steve Wilkes is out as interim head coach and now uh Frank Reich is in different offensive system we expect them to especially if they dropped a quarterback number one that they're going to be at least balanced if not more p
ass heavy especially because we still don't think the defense will be as good I think it will I think losing Wilkes is a is a um is a loss for the Panthers on that side of the ball here's the other thing about miles Sanders right and I wrote about this in my combine column that is available on rotoworld.com nbcsportsedge.com I'm a company man and you'll see like a lot of the stuff that I that I wrote a lot of the gossip I heard in bars so far has come true and one of them was one of the points w
as hey miles Sanders is going to move on that we expect we expect model standards to move on which is that ended up happening and that the the talk that I heard from my sources in Philadelphia were one of the reasons why he was part of a Committee in Philadelphia is they didn't he has trouble staying healthy they don't trust him on third down they don't like them as a in a pass catching role as Denny alluded to and oh by the way fumbling is an issue and so you think about Deuce daily being there
as a running backs coach who wherever he's been in the NFL as a coach he's also employed a multiple running back coach Frank Reich used minnead Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis but um uh but you know he's still certainly nahim Heinz got more touches than any of us wanted him to um I think the expectation I I feel like miles Sanders to your point about being super touched on undependent on an offense that even though it's a good offensive line I don't think it's going to be it's not going to be n
early as efficient scoring wise as the Eagles and even though they may be run heavy and I'm still I think the jury is still out on whether they will be or not I don't know that he gets all those carries I agree I think they get another either a veteran or they drafted a day three guy and it'll it'll be uh his workload will be eaten from both sides no pass catching roll probably maybe he has to split the early down stuff so where does that leave him you know it leaves him a lot of empty carries l
ike I said it's he's going to have to score a lot of touchdowns to get there for fantasy and he has traditionally not been a touchdown scorer he obviously last year he was but but before that in previous season she just he just hasn't been and so anyway it'll be like the fourth year in a row that I'm out on Miles Sanders yeah I think with Frank rock as well he showed that I think like deep down in Frank rock salt like he wants to pass the ball and I think the Jonathan Taylor 2021 explosion that
was more an aversion to Carson Wentz than anything else because whence they just did not trust him at all uh and when wence was playing well they would throw it aggressively I think back to the the Tampa Bay game that year where they went against uh Tampa's number one run defense and they threw it like 20 times in a row and it's like this is what Frank Rock wants to do whereas like Carl Shanahan wants to run the ball so uh obviously that's going to be difficult with a rookie quarterback but at t
he same time I do think that he will want to pass former NFL quarterback obviously wants to throw they're going to have a young guy that they're going to want to develop like CJ Sprout CJ Stroud and Bryce young and or Bryce young don't get better by handing off like they need that you know it's a development year for whoever they pick and so that that guy needs to throw you know with the exception of Justin Fields who was in that disastrous Matt Nagy situation generally speaking you let your roo
kie quarterback throw and learn from his mistakes yeah Trevor Lawrence did it year one and they reaped the rewards different staff but here too we saw in a much improved Trevor Lawrence So speaking of the fear of committee guys this is an interesting one line signed David Montgomery we knew they were going to lose Jamal Williams in free agency Montgomery gets a three-year 18 million dollar deal 11 million is guaranteed this is a really nice deal for David Montgomery Barry here's my question for
you it feels like now this is yet another summer we're going to enter DeAndre Swift not being one of the guys as Montgomery is clearly going to significantly eat into his workload Dave Montgomery drives me crazy and just let him go on I do I do and and that's not going to happen you know we want to free Khalil Herbert and now it's gonna be free DeAndre Swift yeah I'm going to tell you David Montgomery is going to be under drafted and be really productive yes this year I I and he drives me crazy
again like I am not a David Montgomery fan I'm not a David Montgomery every guy but the fact of the matter is is that the Lions have one of the better offensive lines in football they're going to have one of the better offenses in football and they do not want DeAndre Swift because of his health issues touching the ball more than 10 times a game he's going to get eight to ten high high leverage touches DeAndre Swift and we'll talk about him as we get closer to the season but you think about Jama
l Williams who led the NFL with 17 rushing touchdowns like I don't know that Dave Montgomery gets 17 rushing touchdowns but double-digit rushing touchdowns are very much within the the range of outcomes for Montgomery here he's been a bit of a Workhorse here he's not a bad pass catcher as well you can use him on all three Downs like I thought this was a it is a good signing for for Detroit it's a it's an annoying signing for us in fantasy but this was a good signing and he's going to be more use
ful than any of us want him to be to me David Montgomery is like I-95 necessity either you don't really look forward to but it's ultimately kind of gets you where you need to go gets used every day but you just don't know if it's going to be good or bad exactly he is going to be one of those guys in drafts where like when you when you draft Dave Montgomery you're with your buddies you're at a bar like this and you're like Dave Montgomery like literally no one's going to go okay fine I wanted him
no one's gonna do that great when you when you take when you when you take Bijon Robinson that's what's going to happen you'll get like ah man sleeper you know I wanted him like No One's Gonna say that everyone's gonna be like okay Dave Montgomery find him on your list that's what's gonna happen but you know what you're gonna look up but he's gonna have 1200 yards and like 12 touchdowns he's always among the least efficient running backs in the league by almost every metric but he's a coach's g
uy coaches love this guy he's a team leader he's a Rob Rod guy and he has Dan Campbell the ultimate rah-rah guy as his head coach I think they mesh really well and it doesn't matter if he's not good he's gonna he's gonna see a lot of stuff that's my point and and so people say oh well he's he's not good they're going to have to give the ball to the Anderson no no they don't they don't they've they've proven that time and again they won't do it yeah I mean look Deon look we all like Jamal William
s we're going to talk about his signing coming from X well we all like but DeAndre Swift on a skill level is one of the best running backs in the NFL like he is just a special dude and Jamal Williams as much as we all like Jamal Williams is not a special dude when it comes to a running back and yet time in and time again to Denny's point they went to Jamal Williams last year yeah Jamal Williams had 46 carries inside the 10-yard line last year he led all running backs by 16. the next closest 16 f
ewer so so if if Montgomery gets at least like I don't know 80 of that that's a that's an enormous fantasy workload especially by the way on a team that we expect their defense to be better yeah like we don't expect them to be down and chucking it a lot like we think they're going to be more competitive in games which means they're going to probably be running the ball a little bit more in the second half than they were previously plus 135 to win the division I was going to ask you the lions are
heavy Fighters really positioned nicely in this division as we talk about the Bears are the better bet in terms of the odds yeah David went to the wrong time you've been in Chicago too much lately I do like Chicago yeah it certainly you know infect your brain Denny you brought up Jamal Williams and his Red Zone usage last year and he goes to the Saints um on a three year 12 million dollar contract here's the situation with the Saints we know Kamara could be dealing with suspension this year he'
s dealt with injuries but for Jamal Williams it's kind of hard to find a new ceiling considering the situation he was in with the Lions so what is this for him and the saint how do you project him with the Saints you know first of all I think it's it's good for Kamara whenever he plays because Kamara can get back to that in space pass catching role that he was so good at for years in New Orleans before they for some reason made him a between the tackles Runner and kind of you know it ruined his
fantasy appeal you know he's just that's just not his game so hopefully Kamara can get back to that role I will say Jamal Williams will probably be over drafted for my taste because people remember last year remember the 17 touchdowns remember like I said all those carries inside the five inside the ten that's not going to happen again here but you know if Kamara is suspended for I don't know a month or more then Williams probably will look pretty good at ADP if you are fading running backs earl
y and looking you know to sort of Cobble together for me that's the approach William's argument right is that um like you might get six weeks of rb1 production for a guy that's going to call and we don't know when those six weeks will come right I mean it might be the first six weeks of the Season by the way but it might be the fantasy playoffs again like we just have no idea I think the the prevailing wisdom is that Kamara is likely facing a suspension again they want to wait for the legal proc
ess to play out the NFL has but the the footage that's been released of that incident and listen I'm no lawyer obviously I'm not even an analyst like but um you know who knows what I am the fact is it's not like it it doesn't look good it does not it does not look good and so at a minimum I think the floor for Jamal Williams is Mark Ingram's role in this offense right like they don't want Alvin Kamera to be the between the tackles guy so could he be like a you know a squint and you know squint a
nd you can sort of see it usable Flex in weeks in which Camara is active and you're hoping like a touchdown dependent Flex uh but there's you know the potential for six weeks at least six weeks because Camaro's obviously dealt with injuries over the last couple years as well there's the potential for six weeks of rb1 production I will say this I think Jamal Williams goes somewhere in the should go he should be the first of the high upside backups like he should be you know he should he should go
before you know last year where Alexander Madison or Tony Pollard went he should go before that range if you will right yeah and I think the other thing too is that if you ask most football fans like where do the Saints rank in the league like most people say like the 16th 17th best type of Team they're also plus 125 and the favorite to win this awful division so they're going to be in positions where they're going to have more advantageous situations than you might otherwise think just because
they've got six games against the Falcons the baker Mayfield bucks and the Panthers why does poor Baker Mayfield look out let me tune in to Peacock let me see what's going on over here like why like why isn't the CJ Stroud Panthers why isn't that why isn't the Desmond Ritter Falcons why do I Baker Mayfield who's actually won a playoff game why am I catching Strays just differentiating from uh your good friend Tom Brady and the Tom Brady box which is now no longer BFF he said he said he's no Bra
dy I'm not Tom and I'm glad he said that because last year by most measurements he was the worst quarterback in the NFL wow like most measurements but not all not all measurements these are the break Baker they get a lot better for you um another one here anyway but by the way one quick question for my friends at peacock that are watching this why does Jamal Williams not have a reality show yet that's what I'm asking like come on let's let's make this hats do this like no Mr Molly the most enter
taining presser I just could say mvpcs there you go there you go peacock look I'm doing your job for with Alexander and Jamal Williams all right the Eagles signed Rashad Penny uh one year 1.35 million dollar contract obviously due to the injury history that penny has dealt with but Barry he's one of those guys that he can go off for over 100 yards and two touchdowns on any given week you just never know where it's going to be but he does you know obviously fall into a backfield uh that could be
adding somebody in the draft they like Kenny gainwell there are some different variables here I actually think my sort of feeling is is that if I'm doing basketball drafts right now like no one's paying attention to Rashad Penny I Believe by the time we get to August like he will he might be he might be you know he'll become such a trendy sleeper that he will be over hyped a little bit but like sky's the limit for Rashad Penny really efficient offense great offensive line tremendous skill set an
d this is a guy who not last year but the year before won people their fantasy leagues like the fantasy playoffs two seasons ago he was a top three fantasy running back he might have been the number one number one fantasy was he yes he was yeah and so like he was just phenomenal he's got a home run he's got this home run ability he's great out of the path you know out of the backfield as a pass catcher as well and so look Kenny Gable is a nice player but like he's not the every down guy and so I
think it just depends if if they get through the draft and they don't add like a star running back and it's just they you know I could see a scenario where they go into the season with Boston Scott Kenny gainwell and and Rashad Penny and in that scenario like I'm all in on Penny yes health is the issue health is the concern with him which is any but he's on a one year prove it deal once again he was good in Seattle last year before Ken Walker took before he got hurt I mean like we all see how g
ood Ken Walker was and he still he was able to hold off Ken Walker until he got hurt so at current cost I'm all in on Rashad Penny you go back to all the way back to 2019 and you look at Penny's healthy stretches which are few and far between I understand and that's part of the reason I think his ADP will be so suppressed this summer even if he gets some sleeper hype I think that it'll still be a reasonable price point but yeah Rashad Penny every time he's healthy is among the most efficient run
ning backs in the NFL again last year 2021 obviously was like a special six-week run that we might not see again for a while I mean I I looking at the numbers you could say that when healthy I know it doesn't happen often Rashad penny is the best running back in the NFL he is the anti-game he is absolutely and but that injury history people will be freaked out by that and I'm I'm okay with that I think I think I can do it I think especially at ADP is very much worth he could have a huge year yea
h and also he had that stretch in 2021 where yeah he was out playing Jonathan Taylor down the stretch he was having a historic season and he's doing that behind a pretty bad offensive line in Seattle and now he gets the best offensive line in football like he's going to be someone who like we don't have markets on this up but he's gonna be like 150 to 1 to win the rushing title like that kind of ridiculous because everyone just think I'll have a shot of pennies on a one year 1.35 million dollar
deal he gets hurt all the time like guys can just stay healthy for one year and then all of a sudden like he could absolutely rush for 16 1700 yards if he stays healthy especially in a new home where they might understand his usage or how to time his usage a little bit better for an offense that is going to score a ton of points again he's going to score a ton of points they have enough backs there that they can mix and match and you've obviously got Jalen hurts in the backfield as well so defen
ses are going to have to account for that in a way that they didn't have to in Seattle with him and so maybe that opens up some rushing Lanes as well like we've often seen that running backs that play with very mobile quarterbacks often are more efficient as well just because again you usually have to keep a line Becker spy on that quarterback and so that opens up a lot of lanes when you have a creative play collar which hopefully the Eagles will that's a good point another notable signing here
guys the Texans sign motor Singletary a one-year 3.75 million dollar contract as he moves on from the bills I think honestly Denny everybody's question immediately pivots to well Damien Pierce no longer be that Workhorse guy in Houston I think we kind of got the rug pulled out from under us on Damien Pierce on this on this signing I I was you know I've been doing some best ball drafts I've liked Damien Pierce's ADP not as much now because Devin Singletary was never used as a pass catcher in Buff
alo meaning that he's going if they're going to use him at all and I'm guessing they are it's going to be on early downs and that's going to really eat into Damian Pierce's usage now maybe Pierce is used more as a pass catcher he wasn't bad in that role last year but he was only seeing about three 3.1 targets per game as a rookie so I I just I don't I think that his uh paths to fan fantasy upside have been very much narrowed by this Singletary signing unfortunately I'm not as worried about it as
you are I mean I think I think they really like Pierce I mean again I'm a big follow the money guy one year 3.75 million that's a depth sign I've assume that's where it maxes out a lot of these contracts right incentives and everything yeah the fact that Singletary couldn't do better than that to me Devin Singletary is just a better version of Rex Burkhead last year that's what he is like I mean you know they use Rex Burkhead here and there you know to spell him and everything like that and I t
hink probably they probably Singletary is more of a you know a veteran and so they're gonna they're gonna have a Young quarterback they're going to want to have somebody who's good in pass Pro who's a good pass catcher so that like when that quarterback gets in trouble has somebody to jump off to so I think you could see Singletary there but am I worried about when they get on the five yard line suddenly Here Comes Devin Singletary like I'm not like I probably I hear you that it maybe caps the c
eiling on Pierce a little bit but what did we think this if this signing didn't happen what do we think like Pierce's I I thought there's this full lore was or his ceiling was like running back 10. so yeah yeah I think and I think he could still get there if they limit singletary's usage but Singletary you know like some of his peripheral stats show a guy who who can be efficient as a rusher again as a pass catcher just horrible one of the worst pass catchers it doesn't make much sense either it
seems like he would he would excel in that role but uh but so I I do worry a little bit about what it does uh for for Pierce but I'm not completely fading Pierce after the single tears I think Pierce is a fine rb2 and maybe he doesn't have as much upside but I I also don't think the floor I still think there's a very solid floor especially given that they're going to have a rookie quarterback that they're going to want to you know um establish establish you know they're going to want to establi
sh it I think as well that pierce it's probably went a little bit on the radar but he was used in the passing game more than you expect because the first three games there's no passing game usage but he ends up with 30 receptions 39 Targets in 13 games he had I think four games or he had at least five targets so he definitely does have that that element yeah he's an Elite pass protector too so keep him on the field and helps the Texans traded for Shaq Mason they extended Laramie tonsil like this
offensive line is actually in a good place for a team that is also going to probably be playing a rookie quarterback guys here's the other again yeah I mean I I'll just go back I think Singletary is is a bigger name than than threat I think he was a depth signing honestly I do like and that's what the money suggests to me as well a couple more of those exact signings and you guys can pick out which one stands to you Alexander Madison goes back to the Vikings on a two-year 6.4 million dollar dea
l we'll see what that means ultimately for cook Deontay Foreman signs a one-year three million dollar deal with the Bears as David Montgomery's out Deontay Foreman's and Damian Harris signs a one-year deal with the bills that one's kind of interesting Raheem moster is back with the dolphins on a two-year deal Jeff Wilson is back with the dolphins on a two-year deal James Robinson signs a two-year 8 million dollar deal with the Patriots after being phased out of the Jets offense at the end of las
t year and then samaji P Ryan signs a two-year 7.5 million dollar deal with the Broncos Jay look looking at these are any of these more noteworthy to you than the rest I think it's interesting with the dolphins just because I like that team a lot overall and I think they have huge upside I think they can absolutely win the division uh that team is absolutely stacked now with the the additions they made on defense most notably Jalen Ramsey and then on offense like the Dolphins were really banged
up last year thrawn Armstead was dealing with injuries the whole second half of the Season Tyree kill had the niggle with his ankle and then tour obviously like they could be a juggernaut and if they're a juggernaut means that they're going to be running the ball and obviously you've got most and Wilson both back but I think that they can both be usable and then if one goes down which probably will happen at some point during the year then all of a sudden you've got a guy who could be a borderli
ne rb1 I agree I mean I think at least we know sort of what to expect with Miami and I think it's gonna be tough to rank one guy or the other each week but I think both guys to your point are usable low end rb2 high-end flexes on a week to week to me you mentioned it you know to me the most interesting one here is Damien Harris I think Damian Harris is a good player he's a good player you know like not being as good is or as versatile as Andre Stevenson is not a you know it's not a negative like
there's a lot of running backs in the NFL that are good running backs they just aren't as good as ramadri Stevenson and so you know that it does two things number one is I think Damien Harris could actually have more fantasy value in Buffalo than he did in New England more explosive offense and somebody that has sort of a very clear role like I'm Gonna Be A pounder and it's they want to continue to extend Josh Allen's career like maybe Alan's still going to always tuck in and run at some point
but like as they get in close you could see him being kind of a hammer at the goal line here it also caps like you know when Singletary we're like oh James Cook season and now we're like ah like to me I'm more disappointed about James Cook than I am about Damian pierce with the Devin Singletary thing it's the same thing with Cleo Herbert in Chicago right I was really amped about Herbert you know finally maybe getting something like a Workhorse role because he's been so good when when he's been t
he lead back way better than David Montgomery I think we've established that that is possible for any running back in that offense right but yeah so Deontay Foreman has has been good you know and there's there's no two ways about it he's he's very interesting to me as a late round flyer who could just end up as the the lead back maybe if Herbert struggles with injuries again maybe if they just see Foreman as you know more of a lead-back you know the the size Factor Herbert is not nearly as large
as as foreman and that that offense that Chicago offense the Run heaviest offense in the NFL last year outside of Atlanta of course uh and so you know Foreman could have kind of hidden hidden volume based upside there I think all of these signings or a lot of them they just go to show that it's just the demise of the Workhorse running back like a lot of these situations like oh maybe James Cook could have become the guy oh maybe most of it if it was just him but all of like who's left it's real
ly just like Jonathan Taylor Josh Jacobs Derek Henry saquon is there anyone else yeah there's there's well even cmc's like this for sure I mean echler a little bit yeah I mean horseback but he gets that kind of usage did yeah right yeah but I mean it like it gets mixed into an extent like it it but yeah the list gets shorter and shorter uh as we as we continue on the top remaining free agents on the running back Market Ezekiel Elliott who finishes RB 22 he's out there after moving on the Cowboys
move on from him Leonard from net with the top 15 finish he's out there and then Kareem hunt would be interesting to see if he lands with the place with upsize is there any any spots here Barry that you'd like to see one of these guys go or or anybody at least that you think has more left in the tank than the general public kind of perceives yeah I mean like all of my I mean I will tell you that uh you know when I was hanging with my best friend Tom Brady I mean I hang out this weekend just pil
ing around with a couple of our buddies Leonard fournette was there as well yes and uh I literally point blank asked him like where are you going you know and uh he goes honestly I don't know he goes I have no idea uh I mean I I would think that I actually think in the right situation all three of those guys could be could be useful to me I I feel like because we've seen fournette be productive last year obviously so for that but to me the interesting one is Kareem hunt and just that like he has
n't like this is the guy that run a won a rushing title as a rookie and then just hasn't been used that much and it feels like that explosiveness is still there he just he was behind Nick Chubb who might be the best running back in the NFL from a pure skill standpoint and you know they they had quarterback issues and just wasn't a particularly good team so I feel like in the right system we talked about this and it's weird because they went and got P Ride but like if Javonte Williams is more hur
t than we think which I think is a very real possibility and cream Hunt went to Denver that becomes really interesting or if or if Camara if if Camara gets suspended for a year or for much of a year increment goes to New Orleans that becomes really interesting right I just think in Kareem hunt in the right situation becomes really interesting yeah I like I like cream hunt uh I will say football player as right as as a player as a fantasy football player yes not sure about other aspects but yeah
he he is uh a guy who was efficient coming into last year and then it just kind of fell off a cliff I I do worry a little bit about last season and his uh kind of the peripheral stats showing that he he may be edging toward like the latter half of his career and I don't I don't know if he if he profiles as a guy who's going to see who can who can even see 15 to 18 touches in the game the counter to that and you might be right by the way you absolutely might be right you just never know with runn
ing backs the only counter to that is it felt like it was just there was already bad blood in Cleveland like he wanted to get out last year and so it just may have been one of those things that one of those mental things where and he's not getting the playing time that he wants and it just you know just mentally just he may not have been there he may have checked out on the team and so listen you're a professional you're still being paid a lot of money you have to do it but he definitely wasn't
happy yeah I mean like there are other things that you could excuse away it may not it still may be right the skills maybe may be diminishing but it also may be one of those things that like in a new situation with a team that where he feels appreciated and he has a role that's more suited to a skill set maybe he's got another year left ironically I think he could go on the path that another guy on that screen went down and Leonard fournette where it looked like Leonard fournette was just done y
eah Jacksonville he's like that's a 7.8 yards per carry kind of guy and then all of a sudden Super Bowl winning Lenny so I think all these guys like any running back the situation you want to end up in right now is Philadelphia because Kenneth gainwell and Boston Scott they are not so super entrenched and then Rashad Penny despite the upside the most likely thing is that he gets hurt and then all of a sudden you could have anyone slide in to be a number one running back behind the best offensive
line in football yeah I mean it'd be interesting right I mean I wouldn't be surprised by any of those guys winding up in Dallas right we don't know what Dallas is doing behind Tony Pollard like I don't know if they want to go in with just Tony Pollard feels like Leonard fournette to Dallas and they might right that's very real right they might they might draft Bijan like you know I mean I know they like chiante Ingram a little bit but any one of those guys in in Arizona paired with James Connor
could be kind of interesting you can sort of see that too how about the Bengals right now with the unclear future of Joe Mixon and we saw Pete Ryan obviously go to the market that's kind of a sneaky one that I think a lot of people aren't on to yet maybe go ahead yeah for cream cream that's yeah maybe for that as well hey it's Matthew Berry from NBC Sports and rotoworld.com just want to thank you so much for watching what you just watched or at least being too lazy to click out of it after the

If Berry is "out" I'm definitely drafting him.

I have the complete opposite take. Carolina gave Miles a feature back contract. Chuba Hubbard's never eaten into anybody's work load. Miles was super effective as a pass catcher year 1 in Philly. Sirriani drafted and employed Kenny Gainwell as the pass catching RB, and Hurts doesn't check down. I think this is a great situation for Miles to return great value as a mid-round pick.

The Panthers should trade#1 for lamar jackson
