I like Jacobs & White this year lol

[@gabianmundo21]

same ... LOL

[@jimmystein9584]

I couldn’t stand the take on Jacobs. The simple reason Jones had limited carries is because he’s ALWAYS had injury concerns and that was blatantly obvious last year. MLF wants nothing more than that bellcow RB who he can focus on and that’s Jacobs. Jacobs is only 26 too so he’s going to get a ton of work this year. In redraft, he’s a smash this year. In dynasty, he’s a value this year and maybe next year, but offload him as soon as you can after next year.

[@Fantasyphiller]

@@TrthWrld just depends on how much you trust Atlanta’s coach. We’ve seen many times where coaches have said “we want to get him more involved” and it ends up being like 3 more carries a game, or “he’s our work horse back” and it’s a 50/50 split. That being said I still think cmc is rb 1 but now I think he more closer to breece then before. It’s probably 1 and 1A now. Also think he’s more likely to burn you this year than last year. Haha see Dan Campbell who said “Gibbs looks like the better back right now” then proceeds to give him 8 touches the next game lol.

It's not THAT bad of a take.

[@cosmickeys5766]

The argument that Swift could be better than described here is that if the whole thing clicks between the top 10 defense and all these new weapons, the Bears may find themselves in a lot of positive game scripts in the 2nd half where all of these RB reps come in.

[@lordknight7482]

No one has a higher ceiling than cmc. If he gets injured he gets injured. Everyone has the risk. If he is healthy in that 49ers offense he will average 20 plus guranteed but 25 ppg more likely

[@Loganbub]

A stat did come out last year that CMC was in a ridiculously amount of teams in the championship game. He came in 2nd in my main home league vs my team who had Lamb, Amon Ra, Breece, Achane, going off.

[@Fantasyphiller]

@@Loganbub doesn’t really anwser my question though. A ridiculous amount could be any amount over a certain amount. Like let’s say 10 million teams where drafted (there was def more but let say for this) 500000 of them won the league they were in because of CMC. That’s 5% but yes I suppose you could say that is a ridiculous amount but considering how many teams are drafted and how many teams play fantasy. It’s like a drop of water into a lake. So people saying he won everyone’s league last year is a little over weight.

Not drafting CMC is a much bigger risk than drafting him. Breece Hall has missed a much bigger percentage of games. If you are passing on CMC because he might get injured wouldn't you be passing on Beece Hall for the same reason? Or for that matter just not playing fantasy football. It's gambling and there are no shure things but CMC is about as close as you can get.

Great list except CMC. I like Bijan a lot they will have identical opportunities, but San Fran a way better offense and CMC will probably land AT LEAST 50 points higher on more rushing TD alone.

[@brycefarringer3738]

[@williamsoule9067]

I think Brooks is a fine later round pick IF you get Chuba too Chuba should be the starter until Brooks is healthy and he was a solid option last year. Then whenever Brooks is healthy and playing, he’ll probably start and become a strong rb.

[@briangreen4219]

I really want to draft B Robinson this year, but his front line are the Falcons, and they scare me, are they going to be able to perform and open up holes for him to be successful this year? Or am I thinking too much about front lines? Great video btw

As long as the o line isn't bottom five or something horrific like league worst, don't worry about it. Same with the top five. Take it into consideration.

[@12ozmouse99]

ATL has one of the best Olines in the league. PFF has them ranked #6. ATL was one of the most proficient rushing attacks in the league last year. ATL has a new HC and OC, and should be more passed based this year than last, but that also fairs well for Bijan.

Feel like people are more down on swift than up, I’m hoping all 3 wrs and Cwills play making abilities can open up pass catching big chunk runs if he could average 14+ a game, can’t stop stacking bears in my best ball, another team out there NO ONE talks about, too excited.
