[@chenry15]

Fantasy Players! All rookie RBs do not get heavy volume until at best midway through the season. Do not waste and early pick on them

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

You dont need to. You get them for value. And they could finish top 10

[@xXTheBetrayedXx]

​@@fantasyfootballcounselor I've ran over 50 mock drafts and NOBODY is targeting him. He should be on waivers

[@cainomac]

Putting Trey Benson and Tyjae Spears in the top 10 and leaving out Isiah Pacheco seems insane to me

[@jdplays1530]

If CMC ain’t on the list bro come on. You don’t have to number them in order and put him number 1 BUT you can’t deny him a top 10 finish. Don’t predict injury. You can tell people not to draft him without leaving him out of a list

[@nowayjose66216]

One of the best videos I’ve seen in a while!!!! like you said a lot of value in this video!! I’m all in with you on Benson and Spears, great great values. keep up the valuable content and you will be rewarded Joe, I understand all analysts have a solution or something to take you over the edge but videos like these are what people are looking for.

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

I appreciate this thank you. We live in a fake world. Dont need to be lied to in fantasy as well.

[@CALIDIGI]

Congrats on the new edition to your family Joe!

[@xeethagladfelter4136]

Excellent content counselor and love your list, keep up the good work!!!!

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Thank you! Will do!

[@odorihines9129]

So where do you have CMC finishing? Same offense new year. And if you do have the number 1 who would you take overall? Interesting picks, can't disagree with your take, but a healthy CMC well....

[@Squirreljack]

Saying James Conner sucks is just flat out stupid. Did you watch him play?

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Sucks man. Average at best. Did you look at his stats? If he can put up 1000 yards. Benson can put up 3000!

[@Squirreljack]

@@fantasyfootballcounselor Yeah I’ve seen his stats & they are good. #7 RB in ppg in half ppr. Did you watch him play?

[@thejworks07]

He's oldski​ numebrs will only go down as he ages @Squirreljack

[@Squirreljack]

@@thejworks07 Go watch him play & let me know if he looks like he’s ready to retire. I don’t buy the “29 year old RB cliff” narrative on this one. He isn’t Ekeler. He is a dawg.

[@thejworks07]

@Squirreljack ur right you can both go watch him play, and u can go look at his numbers There is no senario where he finishes tremendously better than anything he's done, and it will never get better One might say the days of him playing every gane have also long passed

[@BobSmith-u4y]

I know you don't like Mccaffrey but theres no way you can put trey benson above him... unless this list factors in adps?

[@brentinnes5151]

he said benson could finish in top 10... so MCM at no1 or Benson at no 120 or whatever

[@TheHoff305]

Keaton Mitchell is GOOD counselor and will be on the field, he's the Ravens version of Achane. And he played a lot toward the end of last year before getting hurt! Henry is only a 2 down back at his age, better hope he gets goal line carries.

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

I agree Mitchell is good. But don’t see a ton of volume his way as long as Henry is healthy. But you never know

[@ricardogreen3]

Watched the whole video and almost left without hitting the thumbs 👍🏿 up! Don't worry just took care of business awesome show

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Remember. Just grab them a round before adp. Don’t overpay. Look forward not back. Turn on that bell here as well! Thanks

Bro you could make a tshirt that says “Smash it, Tap it , Slap it” 😂😂

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

LOL

[@1337b3nnyvav00m]

Conner played very well last season and has the coaching staff’s trust. He posted almost 5 YPC and had a pff grade of 82. RB isn’t just about running the ball but also pass protection and third down play. Not saying you should take Trey at ADP considering Conner’s injury history but I wouldn’t bank on it and have too much exposure.

[@yakovhammer5739]

Lets be real though my guy - Last year you also didnt put CMC in your top ten list and he ended up being RB1 by far! That was a big miss on you.

[@ramonbarreiro2065]

I have the 7th pick this year my fantasy draft do you think I should pick bi Jen?

[@enuar4]

If he’s not there. Breece Hall if you’re trying to get a RB round 1. If both are not there. Jefferson, if he falls that far or Amon-ra St. Brown.

[@raymondguzman4232]

14 man ppr selecting 2nd who would y’all pick ? Rb?

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Breece or Bi-Jan

[@raymondguzman4232]

@@fantasyfootballcounselor everyone all on Bijan mustardson huh

[@CookDaddy29]

CMC & Bijan feel like the safest to be top Rb's. CMC biggest weakness is he could some rest at the end of the season. I get to keep Breece, I think I would like Bijon over CMC it just feels better for some reason.

[@luckylogan4915]

Counselor, love your contrarian mindset BUT Benson is your jamyr gibbs of 2024 who was fully capable of top 10 or top 5 but Montgomery vultured the role. Connor is not great but is effective when healthy so your top 10 is a pipe dream without a major injury to Connor.

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Connor was always back up. He sucked back when he was in Pittsburgh. Benson is the true one

[@Pizzlier]

This guy’s giving out fantasy football advice but thinks CMC is 29 years old. He’s actually 27 going on 28. Even most casual players know the age of the 1.01.

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

He is past his RB prime age

[@kerrconkle4389]

No CMC?

[@markrolofs8866]

Not sure on byejan since hes still in a committee. Definitely more promise from breece. Id swap those.

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

No committee it’s all Bijan

[@mpp808x]

Yo counselor got a offer plz help Keon Coleman n Josh jacobs for Chris Olave I got Olave currently what side do u choose

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

I like Keon side

[@wid.597]

Good looking list...I've tried desperately to convince you otherwise about Kyren. God speed to whoever takes a piece of the rams backfield early. Never pans out

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

I love the talent but I won’t be drafting Kyren, even if he’s coming to the summit

[@thejworks07]

Drafted em both 😂

[@wid.597]

@@thejworks07 you mean kyren and corum? Thats def what you'll have to do

[@1337b3nnyvav00m]

About the Kyren vs Corum debate we saw this last year between Walker and Charbonnet. Granted, Walker had significantly higher draft capital than Kyren but Kyren is Sean McVay’s guy. I still expect a healthy Kyren to get a 70% opportunity share.

[@Biscaynedave]

What about CMC ? best RB last year hands down.....

[@thejsc6986]

Are we drafting the Dolphins rbs in the correct order I think Jaylen Wright and Devon Achane going off with Raheem Mostert being the man I’d rule out personally

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Nope

[@jerrellscott5203]

Will Arthur Smith mess up Warren with Steelers?

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

He could. … but he should be a solid flex play at best.

[@americancitizen1344]

I took first place last year in my fantasy.Second, place the year before that if you don't have Christian McCaffrey in your top 10 for running backs.I don't think you're even serious about this.

[@loww2x44]

I’m sure he is .. he just being different it’s obvious cmc will be top 10 rb .. if you don’t think that that on you nobody needs tell you that he is 😂😂

[@DP-sv2hp]

pronounced Ba-Jean, per his mother. But he says B-Jean. definitely not ByeJan

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

It’s the correct way to

[@1337b3nnyvav00m]

Considering Pollard I don’t think he played fully healthy last season. Pollard was absolutely electric splitting time with Zeke when fully healthy and I think over a year removed from his injury he makes a resurgence. I expect a 50/50, 60/40 split between spears and pollard but it can go either way. In a poor offense, there won’t be two viable RBs but to me it’s a toss up who takes that backfield.

[@maycomorales5158]

James Cook top 15?

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Could be…. He has some competition though. TDs will be low as well

[@nickh5525]

Benson finishing ahead of CMC? Why troll

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

CMC will get hurt and will fail miserably this year

[@Justin-n8o]

@@fantasyfootballcounselor You said this last year too and what happen?

[@hulksmash5249]

​@@fantasyfootballcounselorAll players are subject to injury and no one can predict when that will happen. You can't draft scared! CMC is number 1 until he proves he is not. You were wrong last 2 years about CMC. If people are scared of CMC while drafting cuff his back up cause you want the RB position in that system.

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

@@hulksmash5249 cmc won’t survive the season

[@hulksmash5249]

@@fantasyfootballcounselor Ha ha ha ya I've read that you've said that the last 2 years. History proved you were wrong. I think he has 1 more year left before the drop off.

[@jasongreif7867]

I can see a world where j Gibbs and d Monty switch the number of carries. And j Gibbs gets even more involved in passing game. Do we really want Gibbs taking 3rd and 2 runs?

[@jasongreif7867]

Been taking d Henry in 3rd often

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Your bring optimistic but don’t see it unless Mont gets hurt

[@jasongreif7867]

Monty always misses a couple but he won’t miss enough to give Gibbs a cmc season

[@jasongreif7867]

But no j kelce and probably tush push not being allowed, I can see qb sneak being less of a thing for Philly. Barkley on an offense that doesn’t suck could be his year but he could also get injured again so Barkley comes with risk. In early to mid round 2 once aj brown is gone I’ve been taking Barkley before k Williams

[@jasongreif7867]

Z white and j Williams are guys I’m reaching a round above adp

[@Bdawg._.]

Devin Singletary for David Montgomery or no its for a dynasty league

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Single in better situation. IMO

🔮Soothsayer 🦁

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

[@lukassiebzehnruebl8946]

I see it with Spears and Pollard a bit like with Stevenson and Elliott last season. Pollard isn’t a RB1 but he is good enough to handcuff Spears and get many touches away from him. I like Spears next year more…

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

We will see. 280 attempts free now. Hes gonna eat and be the workhorse there

[@wildmpn]

I think Gibbs will get the majority of the carries this year. Montgomery could still be a pest especially on the goal line but definitely think it will be Gibbs backfield this year.

[@enuar4]

I get talking about Najee is getting old. But this seriously could be the time.

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Could be he needs to eat

[@thejworks07]

My impacts so far Hall over Bijan Chase #1 overall Barkely>Taylor (Hurts ran the ball often because their RBs..often sucked) No mention of Javonte? J Warren is him. N Harris may end up on another team by Halloween J Ford and Chubb will be value? T Higgins and Auik may be on other teams by halloween Jacoby Meyers ....will again be relevant M Pittman will be Top 5 TuTu Atwell & R Batemon/ will yet again be a top waiver adds Sun God ......close 2nd to chase And lastly D Smith, J Waddle ,J Palmer, or E Moore One of more of these will finish top 25 ovrl

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Interesting

[@davidpowell913]

You can’t take credit for Ekeler. You’ve been saying to avoid him for 3 straight years. Within those years you were right about 1 year. McCaffrey will be Top 10 easy barring injury.

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

CMC will get hurt and should have got hurt last year. He is on borrowed time. Ekeler was never good

[@jdplays1530]

When I found out James Cook wasn’t even the honorable mention… Trey benson on the wrong episode. This is like your favorite targets not the actual top 10. James cook is trending upwards look at the numbers yes Allen is a pest but he’s also a pass catching back and there isn’t any competition. Cmc is obviously top 10 😂. I like most your picks and not hating on Trey benson I just think you’re over selling. Why not keep him in the sleepers epidsode since he’s so slept on. He has top 10 upside weekly but actually I guess you right you get him later than you were getting Gibbs last year so I actually get why you love him.

[@nxgmoney173]

How is Henry on the list but CMC is an age concern? Has to be a troll

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Henry is a value. CMC is “first overall” not paying its also CMC is going down with injury this year. I’m. Calling it

[@jamesjoseph5707]

Thats why I Like the Counselor. He speaks his mind and isnt commited to ADP. Just like me. Listen to yourself and Trust the reseach YOU did. Trust your Instincts and Gut feelings.

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Yup. Just don’t overpay but make sure you get the guys you like

[@dbarller]

Yeah you told guys to draft Harris and pierce. With a bunch of other brutal takes. Your teams must of been terrible

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

Those guys were RB ones going into the season. Primed. Everyone was on them going at their adps.

@@fantasyfootballcounselor everyone was definitely not on those guys. Those were 2 of the most obvious and talked about fades

Cause he’s too expensive. Injury prone. Coming off a pinnacle year. Super Bowl hangover. And no chance he finishes on top again

No timestamps. Mentioning Taylor and Barkley, but No CMC. Inexcusable. Do better. Maybe a different video- “Top 10 prospects…NOT IN THE TOP 10”. Much more useful video if properly titled and reframed.

[@mikeeyy14]

CMC is number 1. Just because you say The Field is gonna be better doesnt give any help to anyone. Cmc could regress 100+pts and still be the #1 rb. This whole top 10 list is full of maybe's, dual share, and speculation. State who's gonna finish over cmc and own it.

[@fantasyfootballcounselor]

CMC will bust. Not paying for him

[@mikeeyy14]

Interested to see the price point you "pay" for a CMC in your 16rds. Since everyone can only "pay" 1 pick in the 1st round, I'm assuming youre saying all the 1st rd rbs will be better than cmc. Ok.
