I remember you telling everyone to sell high on Stroud last year when his value was through the stratosphere. Now I find myself coming back to this channel more and more. Nice work man

[@evanamon1287]

It’s just common sense sometimes. He peaked at qb3, how often do you see someone maintain that year over year hardly ever

[@stich21]

@@evanamon1287well many other Chanel’s were saying he was QB 1. Gotta give the man props for not regurgitating the same as everyone else.

[@HeathBarMe]

Last season I sold Stroud for Burrow and 3x 2nds. Looking forward to using two of those 2nds on RBs this year

[@ChrisThomas-q4c]

I held stroud when I was offered a HAUL. 🥲

[@evanamon1287]

@ now I’m interested in what the haul is

[@MasNosral]

You having Brashard in tier 3 and Singleton in tier 6 gifted you an instant sub. I feel like I finally escaped the echo chamber.

[@jonathanchaconjr1824]

Found this guy last year and he’s has his own opinions which is why I love to listen to him wether I agree or not and no one agrees with 100% of what someone says but I can actually take what he says into account cuz he’s not just copying and pasting everyone else’s thoughts

The only thing about Ashton jeanty is the level of competition, I would of loved to see him against some SEC teams , and he has a hell of a line

[@Lendll02]

Been waiting for this🙏 this RB class is elite.

[@DynastyLandFootball]

3rd year straight of prepping for rookie drafts with this channel👏🏼

[@김교포]

Why did KZbin recommend your channel now? I've been watching 2025 rb class for the past month everyday and it was just so damn dull. Subbed bro! I traded away my entire team for mainly the 2025 draft class.

[@김교포]

FYI. The league I'm talking about is a league running for 5 years between friends and have to start 3 running backs... the value of rbs is crazy here. My rest of my leagues are all superflex. Anyway! I'll be dropping by more often!

[@blacklion8133]

It's a good channel.

[@Amwill123]

​@@김교포ever looking for more superflex/IDP leagues to join?

[@nickguitarfreak17]

Jeanty is so damn good. There's the first two picks in this next draft then basically everyone else in a huge tier. But yes I'm glad you have it like this because I have dropped Judkins below Henderson as well. And absolutely I been pounding the table for woody marks!

[@NicholasMoudy7]

Who's the first two picks in your opinion?

[@nickguitarfreak17]

@NicholasMoudy7 easily jeanty and tet

[@bradenball2380]

Finally some DJ Giddens love! I’m a KU fan and I love me some Devin Neal, but Giddens passes the eye test of a good NFL RB. Hope he lands in a good spot and I will draft him EVERYWHERE

[@DynastyLandFootball]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who loves him 🫡

[@jsonv3]

These sort of videos make me so happy because I have multiple second round picks in my super flex leagues 🔥 and a few first round picks too

[@nickthompson415]

My man’s out here tryin to make me blush the way he talking about Jarquez Hunter! I know you remember me bangin the table for that man before last years declares. And coach Freeze didn’t do this man any favors. I agree, definitely to me a top 5 rb potential. Smashed in 4 different offensive systems. Forced his way onto the field as a dynamic true freshman. Doesn’t get the credit due due to pedigree. But that’s an NFL caliber back. Aggressive, down hill, explosive, hands, and blocks?! Come on, how many backs in this class actually check all those boxes? I hope this man is wearin purple next year

[@DynastyLandFootball]

Hahaha gotchu!

[@bigb2707]

will be following you guys until my rookie drafts. i have chase brown tracy james cook and brian robinson in a lot of leagues because of yall. I need 3 of these dudes this year, 1.03, 1.07 2.03 14 team 1 qb.

[@InsaneLane33]

Ollie Gordon’s issues strike me as coaching related. Every issue you pointed out is something that should be easily corrected for him.

[@NYJetsForLife2024]

Love this content we need more this was amazing, dont agree with it all the rankings but thats what makes it amazing! Ollie Gordon and Singleton that low is insane but I respect it, I think once you get the Coleman film your gonna move him up, also a lot of these guys might stay and go in the 2026 draft

[@Nejineto]

the combine is going to be amazing to watch at this position. Draft slot matters. DJ Giddens and Brashard Smith will have a battle imo for that late second or early third draft slot. that stuff matters a ton. If you need RBs, this year is a dream come true for dynasty GMs. should be easy to walk away with one or two ballers. Deepest class in a while.

[@hurricaneditka8729]

Im an Iowa fan so I am biased, but Kaleb Johnson has made some plays that are jaw dropping

[@DynastyLandFootball]

Absolutely agree

[@jonaharchmageeternal3288]

Ashton is absurd; SDSU spent the entire week preparing for him (week 10) and held him to an average of 4.8 YPC (one of his lowest YPC games on the year). He’s averaging 7.5 YPC on the season. The fact that one of his lowest YPC is most players dream games is crazy. 31 attempts for 149 yards and 2 touchdowns. Any league where you can be lucky enough to end up with Ashton I would be surprised if he didn’t help transform your team from rebuilding to instant title contender. I know a lot of this is echo chamber but wanted to point out just how absurd he is.

[@Dollabill09]

“I felt drained after I finished” heyooo

[@macdaddy111]

Great stuff Zach!! I don't fully agree with your rankings, but you make some valid arguments, and I appreciate your passion! I am a Penn State fan, but I agree with you about Singleton. He is an awesome athlete playing RB. He doesn't have good RB vision or instincts.

[@DynastyLandFootball]

I can definitely agree with that stance!

[@jonathanhaven1690]

Best analysis I've seen so far on this RB class. Spot on a lot. But... R...J...Harvey...I made a spread sheet that combined YPC and YPR and he is number one, even ahead of Ashton Jeanty. (Bijan 11.3(for context), Harvey 11.05, Jeanty 10.3) He is also top 4 in yards. Top 4 in TDs. And the film matched those numbers. Boy does he jump out on film with that elite speed, vision, and fluent athleticism you typically see from NFL players in college. I'm not saying he's literally better than Jeanty, but I can't fathom how he's so far off the radar for everyone. He's a top 5 back in this class.

[@DynastyLandFootball]

I do LOVE Harvey and his analytical profile is impressive. Bit of a liability in Pass Pro but you are right he's an extremely juiced up back, very fun to watch!

[@WAFFLEBOYPHD]

I don’t know why but Henderson has always given me David Montgomery vibes. I think he’s gonna be a stud but I just don’t know with his injury issues if can be a single back without a committee. We will see.

[@Leon-lk9mo]

I just watched arb from Arizona ,Quali Conley. I was surprised that you didn't say a word about him.

[@CutthroatFF]

Skattebo will be a huge suprise. The kid’s a beast. Could see him being used like a Juszczyk or taysom hill sort of swiss army knife. He can run , catch, throw and even kick lol. Might not be a huge fantasy producer but will be a guy we all will see make highlights on sundays

[@daniel-ym9un]

Had an offer for the pretty much guaranteed 1.01 for my Nico, turned it down. Already have Bijan/Brooks/Pacheco at RB, and figured Nico was worth more than just one first.

[@DynastyLandFootball]

My friend, his 2023 season had more receptions & receiving yards than any season from Jahmhr Gibbs or Bijan Robinson. They made it very clear they wanted him to focus on the ground game this year but I don’t see any reason to mark receiving as a concern 😅

[@alanandersonAU]

Finally some Jarquez Hunter love, just kind of disagree with the comps. He lacks breakaway speed but is a great bruiser back, pass catcher, and run blocker. Will be a good late round pickup for whoever drafts him

[@DynastyLandFootball]

loved watching him

[@WhySoBatman]

Dylan Sampson is moving up there for me. Really like his film

[@chrishayes7504]

I think Hunter and Smith may trade places. Hunter is the most underrated back in class. Mafa may be an interesting pro.

[@frostywizard2257]

What's your opinion on Cam Skattebo besides to keep an eye on him? I think he should be higher on your list personally. A bit undersized at 5'10" and a slower back, but is super dynamic and a good pass catcher. Good yards after contact and has forced a lot of missed tackles. Hadn't had super great seasons before this one, but you can blame that on the talent around him. If you ask any teams that played him this year, they will tell you how unstoppable he has been.

[@DynastyLandFootball]

There’s been a ton of talk about him, he’s on my list to scout. Just waiting on All22 film.

[@frostywizard2257]

Based solely on stats but I've watched Neal play a couple times this year and he looks like and NFL RB. I really like Jordan James too. I watched him this season also and he looks impressive. Hope him and Neal go in the 1st 3 rounds of the draft.

He will surprise you

[@hwilson33wilson63]

What about cam skattabo? He's a sleeper

[@DynastyLandFootball]

just scouted him, talked about him in a new video we just released

[@BeastThatThang]

Sampson supposedly has been clocked at close to 23 MPH, so he has plenty of speed; next gen stats or Bruce Feldman freaks list is a good source to find this info, the bruce feldman info might be juiced cause i think it is provided by the universities and just like height and weight it could be inaccurate but not usually by much, Sampson considered one of the fastest on the team and that isn't juiced so he should be alright; Nic Singleton is special, you talk about treveyon freshman year, nic's was just as good, hes one of the fastest guys in college football, has 6.0 yd average per carry, hes also played every game this season and one of the best wr, so yeah idk what your talking about he also has a decent rb on his team in kaytron allen

[@DynastyLandFootball]

If I were basing my scouting grades on solely a freshman season, then sure, let’s put singleton near the top. That’s just not how I grade players. His film in both his sophomore and junior seasons is poor. The analytics agree with that film.

[@BeastThatThang]

Singleton's analytics are fine, he has 106 carries so his totals are lower, he's also in a offense who plays 12 or 22 personnel more than others, less of a passing offense so more 8 and 9 man boxes, he has 4th most yards per route run for rbs, like i said a 6yd avg, hes 6'0 225 and gonna run sub 4.4, with good hands, you might not like him but he will be drafted in round 2 one of the first 5 off the board at the rb position because he has traits that few do, think saquon on the giants compared to on the eagles

[@DynastyLandFootball]

His 2023 analytics were some of the worst, if not the worst in this entire class. Maybe outside of Donovan Edwards. Now in 2024, he’s 72nd in YACO/ATT and 147th in MTF. That’s not adequate for me, especially if you’re placing a R2 grade on him and especially if you have a 6’0 225lb frame. Can’t stay healthy at that frame either. The film is poor last year, it’s poor this year - that’s my opinion! If an NFL team even sniffs him in the 2nd round, they’ll regret it.

[@BrainyBallersFF]

Woody Marks'. and Judkins career Y/A matters more than just this year, which is weak. You want 6.0 Y/A for a career. Steer clear.

[@DynastyLandFootball]

Using this logic, off the top of my head you would have been out on: - Breece Hall - David Montgomery - Ken Walker YPA isn't all on a RB, there's far more context to consider. I think it's a bit silly to set a baseline like that and for it to be the reason you are out on a prospect.

[@BrainyBallersFF]

CMC, Henry, Kamara. It goes both ways, but quite frankly, the consistently “best of the best” have higher Y/A’s, and have solid correlation between career college Y/A and fantasy points. Not saying nothing else matters, just saying Y/A is where players like Marks and Judkins lack and should be avoided due to.

[@DynastyLandFootball]

My friend, of course you are going to be able to find examples of good Fantasy RBs who have averaged over 6 YPC. Why wouldn’t you be able to? That’s not at all my point 😂 It’s a silly baseline to set because you would miss out on a huge amount of good prospects. Much more goes into scouting than YPA, especially when YPA has so much to do with outside factors that a RB can’t control. If you wanted to use a baseline analytic, you’d be far better off using Yards After Contact per Attempt but regardless, it’s silly to say “this 1 stat is my baseline, otherwise steer clear” I have no problem if someone is out on a player but have some better backing as to why you are out other than YPA.

[@BrainyBallersFF]

⁠​⁠@@DynastyLandFootballfirst off let me say that I love the content, I was simply giving my argument for why I’m out on those two players. There’s not many statistics that have statistical correlation when looking at regression testing/Pearson values. Y/A is one of them. After looking at the 2024 rookies College Y/A that have risen in value and those who have not, it’s pretty easy to see how being an efficient runner per Y/A is a relatively significant topic. I have not yet looked into yards after contact so I can’t speak on that side of things. I can see how that is of importance as well, but haven’t looked into those numbers. Also, I agree 100% that this shouldn’t be a baseline and the only thing people look at. That is not at all what I’m endorsing. Once again, those two players I mentioned are way off where they should be (6.0 and above once again). If they were close to 6, I wouldn’t be advocating to absolutely steer clear of them. That’s too inefficient to overcome more than likely.

[@DynastyLandFootball]

My friend, what I’m trying to convey to you, is that you are contradicting yourself here. You say “I’m out on these players because of their YPA” and then in the same exact comment you say “you can’t have YPA as the reason you are out on a player” - do you understand how that’s a straight contradiction? Again, I don’t mind if you are out on these players but the only reason you have said you are out for multiple comments is YPA? It doesn’t add up.
