Justin, we're gonna quickly rank these guys, uh for dynasty here.
I think we'll be in agreement that Ashton Gentry's #1, Amarian Hampton, based on what you said earlier, I'm guessing is gonna be your #2.
How do we order the rest of these guys?
The third running back is Trayvon Henderson.
Henderson's pretty straightforward, right?
I love the game-breaking speed.
I love the pass-catching ability, and like I said earlier, I think he is going to thrive as a pass catcher in that offense.
That's where he's gonna make his hay.
Next, and we have to put a huge asterisk next to this one.
It is still Quinshaw Judkins.
He is the guy with the talent who would be my #2 back in.
Although, personally right now, probably just taking him off my draft board entirely and not drafting him anywhere.
Then RJ Harvey, I think like we talked about, he might have a slower start, but eventually he will take over and he's going to be a pretty good back for fantasy.
Caleb Johnson, I just think he's a great value compared to the other running backs above him.
Not going to be the guy that's gonna win you your league, but could come in, and in the spots I've taken him, I'm looking at him as like an RB3 or a flex on my teams.
The next guy for me, like we said, it's two together, it's Scattibo, and it's Tin.
Scattibo, I think there's a chance he could take that job.
I don't necessarily think that's gonna happen.
I think it's gonna end up being a committee.
And then Tootin, he is such an explosive player.
That's a backfield, again, another one that's kind of looking for that guy to step up.
And then it's actually Jerquez Hunter on the Rams, and he's a guy who is very explosive.
He brings something that I think the other backs in that Rams backfield don't.
Then we go to Jayden Blue, like I said, not sure he's ever going to be the lead back, but certainly, you know, intriguing this year.
Could he end up carving out a role?
I think he will.
I think it's just gonna be a committee there though.
After that, we're gonna go to Dylan Sampson, and we talked about him.
I guess we could put an asterisk next to his name as well because depending what happens with Judkins, Samson could really vault up this list a few spots.
Then I'm gonna go to Berard Smith on the Chiefs, and now we're getting into an area where I don't think he's ever going to be the lead back, but it really sounds like Andy Reid has a plan for him, wants to use him in the passing game.
so we could see Brochard Smith give us some value this year.
If it does happen, it's not gonna be as an RB1 or probably even an RB2.
It's gonna be more of a flex play, but where you get him, if he returns flex value this year, that is gonna be great.
