Out of all of these rookie rbs Vaughn is the one to grab. Ronald jones cNt pass protect or catch & didnt do very good in two years experience. Vaughn has the clearest path to playing time.

Thank you Zack for the analysis on Rookie RBs. Liked how you describe the players in details.

[@WaddlingduK]

Best FFB page. Best content. No dumb filler to make the video longer. Its jus filled with stats and facts as per usual. Thann you

[@johnevans4538]

The best receiver doesn't always get the third down role. It's often the best pass protector. I think that Damien Williams is very likely going to be better in that regard, so I would be surprised if he doesn't get a significant percentage of the 3rd down work...especially without much of an offseason to assess CEH's ability to block.

[@stevansmith9582]

Taylor and Clyde are so hard to perdict. We just don't know how much carries these guys are going to get every week

[@horse3357]

Good info Thanks!!

[@O4C209]

Right now, I'm essentially taking Vaughn and Rojo with back to back picks in the 8 - 10th rounds.

[@grouchygrundle]

Smart pick with Vaughn. After a few weeks Jones will only get a few touches a game.

[@BitterMillenialJesus]

Clyde will probably start in about a 50-50 split. That’ll probably only last a few weeks before he’s the dominant back. Damian Williams is a product of the system and has a fairly sturdy history of injury. Cam Akers will start but the Rams have lousy run blocking and they haven’t added anyone to fix that in the off-season. At best I see Cam being a mid tier RB2 or a consistent flex with a solid floor. McFarland would be a great late round pick, Connor will get injured like he does every year. McFarland is better than Snell and the other gaggle of bums backing up Connor. He has plenty of upside but his production is going to have a very tight window. Only take him in around the 13th-15th rounds of drafts if you aren’t handcuffing him to Connor.

[@Ryan-gt6kx]

No, Kelly is not the 2nd string RB on the Chargers. You are assuming a 4th round rookie is already ahead of Jackson who has averaged over 5 ypc in his career?

[@Arguing101]

If youre a Chargers fan you should know Lynn literally said he wants Ekeler as a complementary back. It was clear that Lynn wants a power back for that 1-2 punch. As much as I love JJ, he is a smaller back and was a handful of picks from being an UDFA. I put my bid in that TT/Lynn would grab a power back in the 3rd/4th and they did just that. It would be of no surprise if Kelley wins his touches sooner rather than later

[@shaun7096]

So is Justin Jackson not the 2nd back for The Chargers anymore?

[@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA]

No he’ll be relegated to 3rd

[@shaun7096]

Fantasy Football Advice Ok thanks! A little disappointing as I’m an fan of Justin but it is what it is I suppose

[@d-rug1498]

is joshua kelley really gonna be the backup or will justin jackson be the backup? he had 6.9 ypc when he got the ball

[@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA]

Kelley for sure

[@rajw2398]

If I’m picking at number 5 in the draft and cmc, Saquon, zeke, and kamara r gone, who should I take? I’m in this situation in both standard and full ppr so if I could have an answer for both that would be great

[@rashikahmed2070]

If possible, I'd trade out the spot and pick up more mid round picks in the 4th - 6th. Normally I'd say Dalvin Cook but his contract situation has me fading him. Pick up more middle picks and try to multiple get high upside guys like David Montgomery, Jonathan Taylor, Calvin Ridley, D.J. Chark, etc.

[@nate8415]

Mike T

[@grouchygrundle]

Dalvin cook or mike thomas. If you take thomas you can still land a quality rb in the 2nd rd

[@Fapfappa]

I honestly don't get the hype for Zack Moss lately. Not saying that he's bad, it's just that everyone forgets that TJ Yeldon is still there as the 2nd string RB lol Just don't feel comfortable picking a 3rd-string rookie RB until very late in the draft (Which Moss will be long gone before then)

[@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA]

Yeldon lol

[@chriskoshinski]

I get the 1st rd investment... but didn't you learn anything from Darwin Thompson

[@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA]

Completely different. Darwin had a few good runs in preseason so people got excited. Clyde is universally considered a top 3-4 back in the class, and is the best pass catcher. Clyde and Darwin aren’t even remotely comparable prospects

[@chriskoshinski]

@@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA your absolutely correct.... Darwin was everyones "late rd sleeper" my bad.

[@2quickbasketball604]

Hey what’s good? My new routine is gonna be wake up, watch a Fantasy Football Advice video.

[@jt20rapids76]

I could see Clyde getting about 15 touches per game and Damien Williams getting like 5-6. So I’m definitely gonna try and get Clyde this year

[@dejandjenadic7876]

Why would they give work to d will when they obviously didnt like him last year?

[@brennanmccauley2049]

Dejan Djenadic I agree they already showed how they value him

[@stevansmith9582]

I just feel like Taylor is going to be the Miles Sanders of last year where it will be the back half of the season where we start to see him get going

[@brennanmccauley2049]

Clyde is the best player in the nfl

[@Ims18]

Call this recency bias but I drafted David Montgomery last year buying into the rookie hype. I’m not buying into rookie hype this year, too many risk factors Ill stick with players I’ve seen produce

[@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA]

Can’t really use that logic though. One busted rookie shouldn’t just throw out all the great seasons we’ve seen from rookie RBs. Especially when the bust had over 260 touches

[@infinitexbox4life]

Kyle Allen

[@jackwainfantasyfootballadv7355]

My favorite values are Dobbins, Moss, and Joshua Kelley. My least favorite are Swift and Vaughn.

[@grouchygrundle]

Draft Vaughn from tampa bay. He has the clearest path to playing time. Ronald jones just isnt a 3 down back. He cant catch or pass protect. Plus in most leagues he wont even be drafted.

[@grouchygrundle]

@@jackwainfantasyfootballadv7355 yep.

[@richard5469]

Arians does not push his rookie RBs and will certainly ease him in if anything, this season. Also, Ronald Jones is a stud who's just beginning his career. How old is he? Hmm. And how did he finish last season? I'm stating away from Vaughn. Thanks for the video.

[@damonclayton7173]

Ceh gonna let everyone down lol 3rd round adp 🤢🤮. Williams avg 10 carries a game in 11 games, you don't want ur third round rb to possibly avg 10 carries a game and split with other rbs. You want safe and volume. Ceh is fine in the 5th for a risk pick

[@lotus956]

Sad because I don’t see the NFL having a season this year.

[@damonclayton7173]

100% will have a season. Covid is the flu, when did they stop a season bc the flu?

[@Ryan-gt6kx]

You assume Edwards-Hellaire will start over Williams. You assume Taylor will beat out Mack (and Hines). But you are worried about Akers playing over Darrell Henderson? Henderson was an epic disappointment last season. Henderson couldn't get on the field over Gurley, a guy the Rams just let go. Williams and Mack actually had good seasons and are established players. I'm not understanding the logic here.

[@dansbigfanguitarist]

The logic is age and overall draft capital. Not saying you’re wrong, but draft capital has a big impact on who starts. David Montgomery was “wayyy better than everyone in Chicago omg” but did he start last year? Did he ever make an impact? With rookie RBs, you put your chips on the highest skill players, who are walking into the best possible situation, as talent, team fit and production COMBINED are more important than anything else. That’s why Malcolm brown cut into Gurleys totes last year, overall production from Gurley was lacking. That’s why David Montgomery wasn’t a stud last year, overall talent was lacking (may change this year but who knows) So if you believe Taylor > Mack and CEH > Williams, and your believe they fit the systems and offenses well, and you believe their teams will be on POSITIVE game scripts, then they will be ranked and drafted highly. Cam Akers is going to compete against a young back, whos backfield might be led by Malcolm brown next year.... and they don’t look like they’ll be in a lot of positive game scripts, which isn’t good for the RB position. The skinny is, no player analysis is 1 dimensional, you have to consider everything.

[@kvukasxc659]

Can't seem to figure out how to submit a question on your site...so here it is... In a half ppr league that has 1 rb, 2 wr, and 1 flex, does the rb position become more or less valuable? It's also an auction draft btw.

[@kevinpilewski706]

[@fantasyfootballtips3294]

Agreed about the talent. CEH is so much better than Williams. Williams is a product of the Chiefs. If Reid was happy with the RB production last year he wouldn’t have taken a RB in the first round

[@dejandjenadic7876]

Completly agreed. Honestly imo i dont see how CHE doesnt get at least 15 touches a game

Wish my lions would’ve takin J Taylor damn DSwift should fill Theo riddicks old role and then some , he will get plenty of work even with kerryons playing , kerryon gotten injured the last two years in a row , either way swift is good Ravens have Lamar , ingram, Gus , justice hill and now jk dobbins , their gonna be some running mofos in Baltimore Steelers have like 4-5 rbs too rbbc there

[@linkonprime]

I don't think Henderson was all that solid when they used him last year. I wish he was solid because I have him in my Dynasty leagues.
