Player analysis
Player insights
Ben Johnson
PositiveRole0:18
Johnson is the Bears' head coach and might be the best running game designer in the league. The Bears were third in rushing yardage, averaged 4.9 yards per carry (3rd), and ranked 3rd in rushing DVOA last season.
Insight pageBucky Irving
PositiveValue0:07
Irving is a really good value at RB 20 in ECR and RB 24 in best ball, with elite efficiency metrics and lead-back role security despite health concerns. From week 10 on last season, he averaged 115 yards from scrimmage per game and scored five touchdowns, ranking RB 7.5 in PPR.
Insight pageNegativeProjection0:08
Irving's yards per carry dropped from 5.4 to 3.4 last season, though this decline is attributed more to the Buccaneers' injury-ravaged offensive line than to Irving himself.
Insight pageNegativeInjury0:08
Irving's injury history is a concern, with foot and shoulder problems limiting him to 10 games in 2024. He also dealt with hip, back, toe, and hamstring issues in 2024, with the toe issue being a recurring problem since college that may persist throughout his NFL career.
Insight pagePositiveRole0:09
Irving is Tampa Bay's lead back and not a committee back, averaging 20.3 carries per game in 2024 despite the offensive line injuries. He is a better pass catcher than Kenneth Gainwell with 1.56 yards per route run versus Gainwell's 1.19.
Insight pagePositiveUsage0:09
Irving led all qualifying backs in yards after contact per carry at 3.93, had a 34.9% breakaway run rate (6th in league), and ranked 6th in rushing yards over expected per attempt, just ahead of Jameer Gibbs and James Cook.
Insight pagePositiveValue0:21
Irving is one of four RB values that can be drafted later in the draft without a top-20 tag, providing flexibility to build other roster positions while securing him as an RB2 or RB3.
Insight pageCam Ward
PositiveRole0:15
Better play from Cam Ward is expected to improve the Titans offense and increase red zone scoring attempts, benefiting Tony Pollard's touchdown upside.
Insight pageD'Andre Swift
PositiveValue0:18
Swift is criminally underpriced at RB 23 in ECR and RB 23 in best ball, offering excellent value as an RB2 in a run-heavy Bears offense led by Ben Johnson, the best running game designer in the league.
Insight pagePositiveProjection0:19
Swift had 1,386 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns in 2024, finishing as RB 15 in half-point PPR scoring. Even after Kyle Menongai's emergence after week nine, Swift was still RB 20 in fantasy points per game.
Insight pagePositiveValue0:20
At RB23 price tag, Swift is underpriced despite being RB20 in fantasy points per game after week nine and outperforming Menongai in every per-touch efficiency metric (missed tackle rate, explosive run rate, rushing success rate).
Insight pagePositiveUsage0:20
Swift bested Kyle Menongai in every single per-touch efficiency metric, including missed tackle rate, explosive run rate, and rushing success rate, demonstrating his superior performance despite Menongai's emergence.
Insight pageDavid Montgomery
PositiveValue0:03
Montgomery is a massive value at RB 20 in best ball and RB 24 in ECR, with built-in volume similar to Joe Mixon's 281 touches in the same offense. He's a top 15 back with RB1 upside if things hit, and can be targeted in the fifth round.
Insight pagePositiveUsage0:04
Montgomery was 12th in yards after contact per attempt, 22nd in yards per route run, and 12th in first downs per route run, beating Woody Marks on every per-touch efficiency metric and serving as a clear three-down back.
Insight pagePositiveValue0:21
Montgomery is identified as one of four RB values that can be drafted later without a top-20 tag, serving as a solid RB2 or RB3 option while allowing teams to prioritize other positions.
Insight pageKenneth Gainwell
NegativeRole0:09
Gainwell is not expected to take over the backfield from Irving, averaging only 6.7 carries per game for Pittsburgh last year (a career high) and being a less efficient pass catcher than Irving.
Insight pageTony Pollard
PositiveValue0:14
Pollard is an RB3 in both best ball and ECR rankings at RB 31, but should be valued as an RB2 because Brian Dayball historically rides one running back religiously, and Pollard will be that guy in Tennessee.
Insight pagePositiveProjection0:15
Pollard's disappointing 2024 season was due to offensive limitations, not his performance. He was 49th in red zone touches in a bottom-three offense, but with improved passing game and defense, red zone scoring attempts should increase significantly.
Insight pagePositiveUsage0:16
Pollard owns the backfield and wasn't washed last year, ranking 22nd in yards after contact per attempt among 49 qualifying backs. The Titans' offensive line was 13th in yards before contact per attempt and could improve to top 10 with a competent passing attack.
Insight pagePositiveMatchup0:17
Pollard rattled off three straight 100-yard rushing games late in the season once Cam Ward started cooking, and the schedule was sneaky tough early in the year with matchups against the Texans twice, Rams, and Jaguars.
Insight pagePositiveValue0:21
Pollard is highlighted as one of four RB values that can be drafted later in the draft without needing a top-20 tag, allowing teams to build up other positions while securing him as an RB2 or RB3.
Insight pageWoody Marks
NegativeRole0:04
Marks is being shoved into a clear change-of-pace role in Detroit, with Montgomery expected to be the primary back and ride the offense into the ground similar to Joe Mixon.

0:27What's up friends and welcome into Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast.
0:31I am Chris Welsh and I've got two of the brightest and best minds at Fantasy Pros.
0:36And what are we here to talk about? Wait, wait, where?
0:40Oh wait, no, I've got Pat and D-Bro. Sorry, I've got Pat and D-Bro.
0:44Still pretty great. You guys sync that up fantastically, by the way.
0:48Hat tip to both of you. We've got Pat Fitzmaurice, Derek Brown, the King of Bros, D-Bros in the house.
0:54Well, we're going to be talking about some running backs.
0:57We're not going to go insane with tons and tons of ranks, but we're going to get hyper-focused.
1:03We're going to talk about four running backs that these fine gentlemen cannot stop drafting because there's floor, there's upside, they've just got to have them.
1:11And guess what? Their ECRs might be kind of juicy because they are players that are very obtainable.
1:17So we've got four of them to be tackling today.
1:20D-Bro, what's up brother? You ready to talk some running backs?
1:23Hell yeah, Welsh. I mean, this is the sex appeal show, right?
1:27Like it's all in vogue. The year of the running back is back.
1:31Run the dang ball. I mean, passing is out the window in the NFL.
1:35So this is in vogue, right? Like we're stylish here, correct?
1:39Okay. Very interesting take. Pat, I would say, does this show and this conversation make the case why you can get back
1:45into all your early wide receivers and not have to play the early running backs?
1:50This might be the case. It's not like a no running back situation or anything like that, but these are maybe some
1:57of the players that are going to make it a little bit easier for you to tap, you know, wide receiver tight
2:04end for you, Pat, or wide receiver, wide receiver.
2:07What do you say about that? Yes. Value running backs here are the guys we're going to talk about.
2:13Well, I'll send I believe everyone we're going to discuss today has an ECR of RB 20 or later.
2:18Mm-hmm. Okay. So there you have it. You want to get a little bit heavier in the wide receiver streets.
2:25Maybe you want to make sure you're getting yourself a Brock Bowers or something like that.
2:30These are some running backs that might be speaking to you.
2:33If you guys want to join in the conversation, you can go to fantasybros.com slash NFL slash rankings.
2:39You can check out all the rankings we've got going on.
2:42You can look at where these fine gentlemen have everybody.
2:45The expert consensus ranks. I believe we're up over 50 plus rankers that are on there right now.
2:51That's only going to continue growing. And there's lots of other plays.
2:55You can check out the ADP to compare against lots of good fun stuff.
2:59So go and check that out. If you want to follow along, let's jump into it.
3:04We've got four running backs. D bro. We are going to start with you.
3:08Your first running back. He's a guy you can't stop drafting.
3:12He's a value. We're looking best ball versus ECR.
3:14We got the whole thing under the sun. Which running back do people need to know about that?
3:20You are going to be targeting every single time I log in to draft a best ball team, or I'm looking at early ADP.
3:27David Montgomery stands out to me as a massive value.
3:31He's RB 20 and best ball RB 24 and ECR.
3:34And I just think people are forgotten what Joe Mixon did in this exact offense a few years ago in 2020.
3:402024 Mixon was fifth and opportunity share top 15 and snap share 13th and freaking carries.
3:45He finished with 281 touches in that offense. And there's nothing stopping Montgomery from flirting with that number or 300 touches this year.
3:52And he's not washed guys. That's the other part about this.
3:56They look at the age of Montgomery and they say, can he still be in every down back what we saw in Chicago?
4:03I think he can like last year on a per touch basis.
4:07He was still awesome. And Detroit 12th in yards after contact per attempt.
4:11We want to talk about three down skill set and him shoving Woody marks into a clear, just change of pace role,
4:18which I think is going to happen. He was also 22nd in yards per route run 12th and first downs per route run.
4:25Montgomery beat Woody marks on every single per touch efficiency metric last year.
4:29And as well as a pass protector, regardless of whatever you look at Montgomery is a better running back.
4:35I think they're going to ride him into the ground this year, very much similar to Joe Mixon.
4:40And he's a top 15 back for me. I think he's got RB one upside.
4:45If all the things hit. What do you think just real quick before we get Pat's take on this?
4:51What do you think the biggest factor between the best ball and the ECR ranks is why is best ball again?
4:57It's not like a tier difference, but it's, you know, it's closing in on like mid RB two versus the back end of RB two.
5:05Why do you think the best ball ranking differs from his ECR?
5:09I think his people in best ball will push him up a little bit more.
5:14Maybe they're more in line with my thinking and saying he's probably one of the best volume bets that you can make at that part of a draft.
5:22So that pushes him up the board just a little bit versus like ECR and people ranking.
5:28Like you got a lot of other running backs, like however you want to device this up.
5:33Like, do you want to go for upside? Do you want to go for the safe veteran and the volume play and stuff?
5:40So I think some people could be gravitating to younger or potentially sexier names at the low end RB two territory.
5:47And it kind of pushes Montgomery down the board a little bit.
5:50I think volume is a really interesting thing there to best ball.
5:54Maybe, you know, if it's not their first running back or if it is their first, you know, maybe the volume plays
6:01into wanting to take some shots later. Or if it is their second running back, maybe they took a shot a little bit earlier.
6:08So volume seems like it's in play there. Pat, what's your take on David Montgomery here?
6:13Obviously, ECR versus best ball is kind of interesting.
6:16But where do you think he is on the reign of like, you know, value betting a guy that you want to
6:23take and you think experts are going to be taking?
6:26Yeah, if you can wait and get Montgomery, if you do go with a wide receiver heavy approach in the early rounds,
6:33Montgomery is a really nice target in the fifth round or so because there is built in volume for him.
6:39I don't see who's going to challenge him for early down carries in Houston.
6:43And Houston has that great defense, should provide plenty of run friendly game scripts.
6:48And I think he returns value if he just gets five, six, seven touchdowns this year.
6:53The nice thing is there's a path to 10, 11, maybe even more touchdowns than that because he's going to be the goal line guy.
7:01Yeah, touchdown equity seems like it's I've stared at him in his ranking.
7:05And like you look at potential upside, even though he doesn't feel like a quintessential upside play.
7:10It's like touchdown equity seems like it's like a much more of a premium or in the positive side for him.
7:16He was best ball RB 20 ECR 34. Pat, super fascinating.
7:20Your player is the opposite. Best ball 24 RB and then ECR 20.
7:24I know this has been one of the guys you've been talking about, but you're talking about players that not just experts
7:31are drafting, but Pat Fitzmorris, the expert is drafting.
7:34And wanting to have on a lot of teams, that player is who?
7:38It's Bucky Irving. And I don't know if the experts are really drafting him.
7:42Every expert I'm seeing on Twitter is fading Bucky Irving.
7:45My affinity for Bucky is somewhat personal. I was very out on him in going into his rookie year after he ran
7:52a 455 at the combine at 192 pounds. Even though he had two really good seasons to wrap up his college career
7:59at Oregon, even though a lot of the talent evaluators were raving about him, started his rookie year as Rashad White's backup.
8:06But he was getting about a third of the offensive snaps, maybe like nine carries a game.
8:11I wound up picking him up in one of my leagues just before the midpoint of the regular season.
8:17And just before the Buccaneers reduced Rashad White's role and made Bucky their lead back.
8:21I already had a pretty good team and adding Bucky to the mix just gave my team a nitro boost.
8:28From week 10 on, Bucky averaged 115 yards from scrimmage per game, scored five touchdowns.
8:32He was RB 7.5 point PPR scoring over that stretch, right between Chase Brown and Derrick Henry.
8:38Now Bucky's ECR sitting at RB 20 and I think like 54th overall.
8:42That's middle of the fifth round. And I get that Bucky is coming off kind of a rough season.
8:48He had foot and shoulder problems last year, only played 10 games.
8:51He went from 5.4 yards per carry to 3.4.
8:54I really believe the drop off was more about the Buccaneers offensive line than Bucky himself.
8:59Tampa Bay's offensive line just injury ravaged last season.
9:02Tristan Wirfs missed five games. Cody Mock missed 15 games.
9:05Luke Geteke missed six games. Buccaneers O-line had ranked second in the league in adjusted line yards in 2024.
9:11That's a run blocking metric for those not initiated with that stat.
9:15In 2025, they dropped to 22nd in adjusted line yards.
9:18So I acknowledge that the Buccaneers might continue to give Sean Tucker the goal line work.
9:23But Bucky is still Tampa Bay's lead back. And I don't want to hear that Kenneth Gainwell is taking over.
9:29Gainwell averaged 6.7 carries a game for Pittsburgh last year.
9:32And that was a career high. And Bucky Irving is a better pass catcher than Kenneth Gainwell.
9:37Bucky has averaged 1.56 yards per outrun for his career.
9:40Gainwell, 1.19. Bucky, in 2024, led all qualifying backs in yards per carry after contact.
9:45Yards after contact per carry, excuse me. 3.93. Had a breakaway run rate of 34.9%.
9:50Ranked sixth in the league in rushing yards over expected per attempt.
9:53Just ahead of Jameer Gibbs and James Cook. Bucky is a great player.
9:58I can't wait to see what he's going to do with a healthier offensive line that's a very good offensive line when it's intact.
10:05Even in a bad year last year, Bucky averaged 20.3 carries per game.
10:09He is not a committee back. Don't believe that.
10:12That's, yeah, I just, I think he's a really good value right now.
10:16And also, like, you use the word healthy is really interesting because I think there was just a lot of health questions
10:23that were just following him and the valuation of what people wanted to put on him.
10:28But, like, he's already running practices. You know, like, he's out.
10:31Like, that I think is one of the biggest things to be an eye-opener because I think you would almost have the
10:38conversation of, like, you know, do you really want to focus more on the injury?
10:43Or do you want to focus more on the other running backs that are there?
10:47Or what is going to take away? I'm just not sure a healthy Bucky Irving can be taken off the field at
10:54a dramatic degree that drops his value. So he does seem like a really good value.
10:59But, Debro, you've been shaking your head. You're not in full agreement.
11:03Obviously, there's roles. Kenny Gainwell could play a passing role.
11:06Sean Tucker can play a goal line role. But does that not make Bucky Irving still a top 20 running back?
11:12Does that take him out of being a top 20 running back?
11:16What say you? I think the – I really love Pat's point about the offensive line last year because it was decimated.
11:23They couldn't block anybody. They couldn't keep Baker Mayfield upright.
11:26I think this offense could definitely bounce back this year.
11:29My biggest concern about Bucky Irving, like, I – and to Pat's point, yes, Bucky has been the superior receiver to Gainwell over his career.
11:37Gainwell kind of closed the gap with the usage and stuff last year, 1.44 yards per route run.
11:43Them bringing him in off the street. And we've seen Rashad White factor into this backfield in both seasons.
11:49My worry for Bucky is if Gainwell can just be Rashad White but actually be better than Rashad White, which is kind
11:55of a low bar to clear because Rashad White's never been efficient in his entire NFL career, even his massive, like, RB1 season that hasn't been the case.
12:04Then I worry about Gainwell carving more of a role than what we saw previously for Rashad White.
12:10But I do think Bucky will still retain the lead back role.
12:13My worry – my bigger worry for Bucky Irving is the injuries.
12:17Like, and it's – I don't want to ding him, and I didn't ding him coming out because we're living in a
12:24new era of the NFL where if you're sub 200 pounds, it used to be, like, a really big knock on you
12:31as a prospect and looking at your – you know, you're projecting your volume forward.
12:36But then we had Jameer Gibbs, Austin Eckler says hi, Devon Achan, other players of that size to where they've been given runs of backfield.
12:43But those guys have held up to the volume.
12:46And Bucky, I mean, even looking at last year, he had a foot sprain, a shoulder, AC joint sprain.
12:52You rewind to 2024. Hip, back, toe, and hamstring issues.
12:55And the thing that kind of got buried in all of that was the toe issue seemed like it wasn't a short-term thing.
13:02It's something he's dealt with since college and might deal with on and off his entire NFL career.
13:08So the size kind of is showing up for Bucky Irving.
13:11Can he stay healthy? And those health concerns are what pushes me with Bucky Irving down the trough just a little bit
13:18versus other running backs in that range. But depending on how my team make up and stuff like that, am I willing
13:25to draft Bucky Irving at some spots? Because he could be a massive value if he can stay healthy.
13:31Yeah, it's possible. Conversation is going to be very interesting over the next month, how this starts to transpire around Bucky Irving.
13:38But just remember, Pat was there first. We got two more running backs coming up.
13:42But the running backs we're talking about today are values because, you know, they're simply too cheap.
13:48But that only matters if you know when to take them.
13:51With draft intel, you can see how your league mates have drafted in the past.
13:56Spot, who tends to push running backs up the board, and build a plan around your actual draft room.
14:02So before you assume one of these running back values is going to fall back to you and follow our ECR, make
14:09sure you go to fantasypros.com slash intel. That's fantasypros.com slash intel.
14:12Use draft intel and know when you need to make your move.
14:16D-Bro, we're jumping back to you for your second running back value that you're drafting all over the place.
14:22And this is the lowest of, whether it's best ball or ECR, this is the lowest of any of the running backs
14:28values that we have on the board. And you, my friend, want to give us a little Tony Pollard.
14:34So why don't you drop it for us why Tony Pollard is a RB value that you're drafting this season?
14:41He is an RB3 across best ball and ECR, RB31 on both of those different iterations of rankings and ADP and stuff.
14:47And I don't understand why. Like, I'm not worried about Tajay Spears.
14:51Tajay Spears, we haven't seen him be ultra efficient.
14:54We haven't seen him be able to stay on an NFL field.
14:58And you look at what Brian Dayball, the new OC for the Titans, has done in his entire career as an offensive coordinator or a head coach.
15:06He rides one running back religiously. You can go all the way back to Devin Singletary, even before that Peyton Hillis.
15:13We can talk about Saquon. We can talk about when Cam Scadaboo before the injury.
15:17You can talk about Tyrone Tracy before that and Devin Singletary before Tyrone Tracy took his job.
15:23It has been one running back, and it's going to be one running back in Tennessee this year.
15:28And that guy is going to be Tony Pollard.
15:31So I don't understand why he's not an RB2 in rankings.
15:34I get that he had a disappointing season. But again, we all think that Tennessee is going to improve this year.
15:41The question is how much? We're discussing an offense that crushed Pollard because he couldn't score any freaking touchdowns.
15:47He was 49th in red zone touches. This offense was bottom three in points per game and red zone scoring attempts per game.
15:54Those numbers are going up with better play from Cam Ward.
15:57The addition of Carnell Tate. The addition of Wanda Robinson.
16:01Calvin really hopefully being healthy. And if he can't do it, then Ellic Amann or Shamiri Dike can hopefully step up there.
16:07And an improved defense. And quietly, I don't think that people understand that this offensive line, while I'm not telling you this
16:14offensive line is going to be a top 12 unit this year, they were close to that last year in run blocking.
16:21This offensive line had the 13th best yards before contact per attempt last year.
16:25And that is also without like fielding a competent passing attack.
16:29If they do that this year, they could be top 10 in that metric.
16:33And then we're discussing they're opening up consistent holes for Tony Pollard in an improved offense.
16:38He owns the backfield. He wasn't washed last year amongst 49 qualifying backs.
16:42He was 22nd in yards after contact per attempt.
16:45So I keep drafting Tony Pollard. And at this price point, I will continue to draft Tony Pollard because he's an RB3 who is really an RB2.
16:53Although nobody seems to put respect on his name.
16:56Pat, is this though? I mean, Debra's making a great case here.
17:00But the thing that maybe still floats out there is like, is Tony Pollard going to be the guy?
17:06Unquestioned player. Because if you do believe that, I think it is hard to not look at like him outside the top
17:1330 as being a great value if he's going to be untouched in that offense.
17:17Is that what you believe? Or do you think there's bigger questions around Tony Pollard and him usage as an RB1 in his office?
17:25I think he's the guy. And we saw how well he played down the stretch last year when the Tennessee passing game finally got going.
17:33That was the key. They just, Debro said it, they couldn't get anything going early in the year.
17:38So even though Pollard had the backfield to himself with TyJ Spears on IR, it was a rough start.
17:44But then gets it going late in the season once Cam Ward starts cooking a little bit.
17:49Rattles off three straight 100-yard rushing games late in the season.
17:53Also, the schedule was kind of sneaky tough last year.
17:56During that slow start, he had the Texans twice, the Rams, the Jaguars.
18:00Some really good run defenses. And yeah, I think things set up pretty nicely for Pollard this year.
18:06He's in a better spot. All right, final running back we're going to be talking about.
18:11ECR just as an RB2, both the same overall Fantasy Pros expert consensus rank and best ball rank.
18:16DeAndre Swift. Interesting name. I wasn't sure that we were going to get in here.
18:21And Pat, that is your guy. So the RB2 of values.
18:24You went from Bucky Irving to DeAndre Swift. Talk to us about why you're going to be drafting him a whole bunch
18:31and why he is such a great RB value.
18:34Because, Welsh, I think it's rarely a bad idea to attach yourself to the NFL's best play callers.
18:39And Bears head coach Ben Johnson might be the best running game designer in the league.
18:44The Bears were third in rushing yardage last year.
18:47They averaged 4.9 yards per carry as a team, which also ranked third.
18:51They were third in rushing DVOA, only behind the Rams and the Bills.
18:55Ben Johnson also had the running game humming when he was in Detroit as their offensive coordinator for three years.
19:02The Lions ranked 12th, 4th, and 2nd in rushing DVOA during Johnson's tenure as the OC.
19:07And Ben Johnson likes to run the ball. The Bears were 11th in terms of highest percentage of running plays last season.
19:13Swift had 1,386 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns.
19:16He was RB15 in half-point PPR scoring. He catches passes.
19:19The Bears have a good offensive line. They have Ben Johnson as that run game mastermind.
19:24Swift is RB23 in ECR 57 overall. And look, I'm a Kyle Menongai fan.
19:29I think he's good, but he's not going to displace DeAndre Swift.
19:32It's going to be a two-way backfield in Chicago, but the Bears are going to be among the league leaders in total
19:39running back output because of Ben Johnson. So that's where I was going to go with you, D-Bro, was like, are we forgetting?
19:46What about Kyle Menongai? Are we forgetting about him?
19:49He has an ECR of 33, but the ending there is where Pat kind of put the icing on the cake.
19:56Yes, it can be tough sometimes, maybe just on the surface level looking at the Bears and you're like, can both of these guys eat?
20:03I was going to say, are one of these two players, DeAndre Swift at 23 or Kyle Menongai at 33, too overly ranked?
20:11But if you believe this is going to be a very run-heavy offense, both of these guys are going to be able
20:17to eat and be serviceable as either an RB2 or a flex.
20:21So talk to us about Kyle Menongai as well attached to DeAndre Swift here, this offense, and can they both thrive?
20:28I think they can both thrive if they stay as run-heavy as they are, which I think with Ben Johnson, it's going
20:35to be at least league average with passing rates.
20:37So I think you're still going to get plenty of rushing volume here.
20:41I think Menongai is appropriately priced, maybe a tad bit overpriced.
20:45I think Swift is criminally underpriced. He was RB16 in PPR points per game.
20:49Even after Menongai's emergence after week nine, he was still RB20 in fantasy points per game.
20:54And so if we see, and he bested Menongai in every single per-touch efficiency metric out there.
20:59Missed tackle rate, explosive run rate, rushing success rate, everything.
21:03So I don't think Swift is going away. And I think at this low-end RB2, RB23 price tag, he's underpriced.
21:09And I'm going to be drafting him too. I agree with Patty here.
21:13Beautiful from DeAndre Swift, Pollard, Dave Montgomery, and Bucky Irving laid the groundwork for four RB values.
21:18Four RB values that you don't have to put a top 20 tag on.
21:22You can get later in drafts. Build your team up.
21:26Build your wide receivers. Build your tight ends. Make one of these guys an RB2 and in some cases some great RB3s.
21:32What do you guys think though? Do you think these are great values?
21:36And if not, what values are you guys looking at?
