0:00Here are the official rankings for the
0:02fantasy playoffs. Starting off with the
0:03S tier. I'm putting Gibbs at one. I'm
0:06sorry, but this dude is taking it to a
0:08completely different level. The usage is
0:11absolutely through the roof. David
0:13McGomery getting scaled back. The only
0:15holdup that I have with Gibbs in
0:17comparison to McAffrey is he has to play
0:19the Rams in week 15 and he has to play
0:21the Minnesota Vikings in your fantasy
0:23football championship in week 17. But if
0:26you look at the last five games that he
0:28has played, he has scored 38 points, 55
0:31points, and 37 points in a game. It's
0:35absurd what you are getting from Gibbs
0:37right now. I wish that I had him as the
0:39running back one on my team. Um, I would
0:41be fine if McAffrey was the running back
0:43one on my team. Don't get me wrong.
0:44McAffrey gives you a much higher floor
0:46than what Gibbs has seen so far this
0:48year. Obviously, you're not getting the
0:49same level ceiling, mainly due to the
0:52floor coming from the reception volume.
0:548.2 2 receptions per game. If you're
0:57looking at the matchups, the matchups
0:58are actually better for McAffrey than
1:00they are for Gibbs, where he gets to
1:02play against Tennessee, Indianapolis,
1:04and then Chicago. Now, moving down to
1:06our A tier running backs, I'm going to
1:09put Devon Aan here for the time being. A
1:12may fall down these rankings. I'm going
1:14to continue to update them every day for
1:15y'all if the injury appears to be
1:18something we need to worry about. But
1:19this coaching staff already came out and
1:21they said, "You know what? Han could
1:23have gone back into the game." But we
1:24played against the New York Jets and we
1:26were up by 50. So of course they weren't
1:28going to risk throwing Achan back out
1:30there and operating under the assumption
1:33that Devon Han is good to go this next
1:36week. He is giving you the highest floor
1:38in fantasy football where even in a game
1:41in which he only has eight touches
1:43because he gets injured, he still scores
1:4517 and a half points. He gets to play
1:47the Cincinnati Bengals in week 16 as
1:49well. And then of course Jonathan Taylor
1:52is going to be the big follower that we
1:54have with Jonathan Taylor. He has been
1:57much worse since coming out of the buy.
1:598.6 15.1 and now 11.4 fantasy points.
2:04And the main concern that we are going
2:05to have is Daniel Jones leaving this
2:08offense. a no-name quarterback taking
2:11over as the starter leading to an
2:14overall collapse with the projected
2:16output from Indie including trips to the
2:19red zone going into the future. Looking
2:21at the matchups, you have to play
2:23Seattle this next week as well. So, I'm
2:26going to be moving Jonathan Taylor down
2:28as you can tell, but he is still a top
2:30five running back. You're still jamming
2:31him every single week. He's still
2:32averaging 23.8 fantasy points per game
2:35this season. Now, Bejon Robinson will be
2:38our next name. If you're looking at
2:39Bejon, the next three weeks, you have a
2:42good matchup against the Arizona
2:43Cardinals, but you do have to play
2:45against the Rams in the fantasy football
2:47championship. Um, obviously, this past
2:49week was a little bit disappointing
2:51against the Seattle Seahawks in a very
2:53tough matchup, but I'm not super
2:55concerned with Bejon. Still averaging 20
2:57fantasy points per game. Now, dropping
2:59down to our next tier, James Cook is
3:01averaging 100 rushing yards per game.
3:04still the receiving involvement isn't to
3:06the same level of some of these other
3:08running backs. Um the touchdown's very
3:10likely to be there for James Cook most
3:13weeks. This past week, of course, he
3:15ended up actually losing that touchdown
3:17because he did fumble, but um still you
3:20have a very high floor with what you're
3:21getting carries wise. He hasn't had a
3:23game this season with fewer than 13
3:26carries. The matchups over the next
3:28three weeks are very tough for James
3:30Cook, though. And honestly, for that
3:32reason, I'm going to move James Cook
3:33down these rankings a bit because you
3:35are going to have to play against the
3:36New England Patriots this week.
3:38Obviously, not ideal, especially with
3:40that game being in New England. Then you
3:41have to play against Cleveland in week
3:4316 and Philly in week 17. I don't have
3:46James Cook on my own team, but I do have
3:48Josh Allen. And honestly, I'm a little
3:50bit concerned with these matchups. Now,
3:52Josh Jacobs is on my team. And with
3:55Jacobs, um, he looked very good in that
3:57Chicago game. Honestly, I'm surprised
3:58that he only scored 17 points. I figured
4:01that he would have had more just
4:03watching the game. And this week he is
4:05going to have a very tough match up
4:07against the Denver Broncos. Thank god I
4:09earned myself a round one buy. So, we
4:11don't have to worry about those week 15
4:13matchups. But if you had Jacobs and you
4:15had to play in week 15, obviously that
4:17would be something to be concerned with.
4:18But he has ramped back up to seeing the
4:20usage that he saw earlier in the year,
4:22which obviously is a massive plus. Bucky
4:25Irving hasn't ramped up to see the exact
4:28same usage that he had previously,
4:29though. Obviously, he had a decent
4:31amount of Rashad White usage this past
4:33week. They play the same amount of
4:34snaps. But if you're looking at the
4:36matchups for Bucky Irving, they're
4:38actually much better than what you have
4:39with somebody like James Cook where
4:41Bucky gets to play against the Miami
4:43Dolphins in week 17. He gets the Atlanta
4:45Falcons in week 15, and the Carolina
4:47Panthers in week 16. Now, moving down to
4:51our next tier, Javvante Williams is a
4:54great running back when it comes to
4:56volume. Like, this is a player that's
4:58averaging 3.8 targets per game and 17.9
5:02carries per game. So, he's sitting here
5:04with like 22 opportunities a game. Now,
5:06the efficiency as a receiver, garbage.
5:09As a rusher, pretty damn good. This
5:11offense is one that puts up a lot of
5:13points. This week's matchup's going to
5:15be very tough against Minnesota Vikings.
5:17But then you get Washington in week 17.
5:20Um Derrick Henry still set it and forget
5:22it. Must start running back every week.
5:24I honestly kind of hope that he faced
5:26plants because y'all know I really did
5:28not draft Derrick Henry at all in
5:30underdog basketball drafts this year.
5:32Now, the thing with Derrick Henry,
5:34though, is you get a really good match
5:35up in week 15 against the Cincinnati
5:37Bengals, but then tough matchups against
5:39the New England Patriots and the Green
5:41Bay Packers in weeks 16 and 17. Um,
5:44Chase Brown is seeing his usage take a
5:46dip now that Sam Perin's back in
5:49Cincinnati. But honestly, with Joe
5:51Burrow under center and this offense
5:53being better in general, it may not
5:55matter that Sam perin is all of a sudden
5:58on the field taking some of those third
6:00down snaps because this past week, you
6:02just saw Chase Brown go out there and
6:04score multiple touchdowns and still give
6:06you 18 and a half points and you have
6:08favorable matchups over the coming weeks
6:10where he gets to play against Baltimore,
6:12Miami, and the Arizona Cardinals. Now,
6:16Saquon Barkley is a running back that I
6:18have on my team. He's my running back
6:19too behind Josh Jacobs. So, I am very
6:22much looking forward to what we get in
6:24the game tonight. Um, honestly, my
6:27matchup doesn't exactly matter, but the
6:29main reason why I'm looking forward to
6:31the game tonight just to see what
6:33Barkley does is I want to know our
6:35long-term expectations. The match up
6:37week 16 against Washington, week 17
6:39against Buffalo, I'm not really too
6:41concerned with these. Um, obviously week
6:4315, great match up against the Raiders.
6:45Sadly, again, I have that bye-week, so I
6:47can't take advantage of that matchup.
6:49Right now, Saquon Barkley is higher,
6:51lower 91 and a half rushing yards,
6:54higher lower 13.75
6:56fantasy points on underdog fantasy, and
6:59he's only hit higher than 13.75 points,
7:03one time since week five. So, I'm pretty
7:06sure the sharp money is going to be on
7:07the lower. But obviously, if you want to
7:09check out any of those projections on
7:11Underdog Fantasy, you can find that link
7:13in the description in the comment
7:15section. Code Flock will get a $100
7:17added to your account after you play
7:18your first five. You'll get a gimme
7:20pick, higher, lower, half a total yard
7:22for a player. Underdog fantasy available
7:23in almost every single state. That
7:24link's in the description and comment
7:26section. Then Kron Williams will be our
7:28next player. Um, with Kiran, the Blade
7:30Corm usage is concerning, don't get me
7:32wrong, but um, he's just been so damn
7:35good that it hasn't mattered. like Kyron
7:37Williams since the by-week weeks 9
7:40through 14 has averaged a touchdown a
7:42game. Um the interesting thing is Blake
7:46Cororm's not getting involved as a
7:47receiver whatsoever, but neither is
7:50Kairen Williams. Like Kiren Williams was
7:51actually involved as a receiver heavily
7:53at the beginning of the season, but that
7:55has been phased out as of late. Now
7:58Amari Hampton could change in these
8:00rankings a bunch. I'm going to be live
8:01streaming after the game on Monday, of
8:03course, to update these rankings for
8:05y'all, and they'll be updated on
8:06flockfantasy.com. I'll say matchup wise,
8:09Amari Hampton's going to be in a really
8:10tough spot against the Kansas City
8:12Chiefs week 15 against the Houston
8:14Texans week 17, but he gets the great
8:17match up against the Dallas Cowboys in
8:18week 16. Then Travis ETN trending in the
8:21right direction with Bichel Tutin
8:23getting pulled this past week. But ETN
8:26not really getting involved as a
8:27receiver. That job is Laquent Allens.
8:29tough matchup against Denver in week 16
8:32as well, but ETN five of the last six
8:35games he's played has looked incredible.
8:37Um Ashton Genty in one of the worst
8:39offenses in the league. Again, the
8:41receiving involvement has been
8:42incredible where over the past six
8:44games, he's had at least four targets in
8:47every contest. Over the past six games,
8:50he's had at least 10 carries in five of
8:52them. So, the volume's very good. I
8:55still want to believe that Ashen Genti
8:56is a good player, but the offense is
8:59horrendous. Going over and looking at RJ
9:01Harvey, I would want to move RJ Harvey
9:03higher than this. Back-to-back games
9:05with 20 fantasy points, and this past
9:08week, he actually expanded his role
9:10quite dramatically. The only holdup that
9:12I'm going to have for having RG Harvey
9:14higher in these rankings will be asked
9:15to play the Green Bay Packers in week 15
9:18as well as the Kansas City Chiefs in
9:20week 17. Um, Trevon Henderson, we didn't
9:22get to see this past week, but obviously
9:24back in week 13, it was frustrating
9:26seeing Remadre Stevenson on the field.
9:29Trevian Henderson had only played 48% of
9:32the snaps in that game. Looking at the
9:34matchups for the fantasy playoffs, I'm
9:36not really worried about Buffalo,
9:37Baltimore, or the New York Jets. Um, I
9:40just think the main concern is going to
9:41be workload, but I believe in the
9:43offense and I believe in Henderson, the
9:44talent. Um, Bree Hall, I'm going to be
9:46starting myself. He gets the New Orleans
9:49Saints week 16, which it's a big match
9:51up for me. And then he gets the New
9:53England Patriots week 17, which I'd be
9:55very worried about. But I still think
9:57that Bree Hall is going to be a running
9:58back that just frankly you have to start
10:01because he is seeing 70 plus% of the
10:03snaps every single week in his offense.
10:05It's just that the offense is garbage.
10:07Quinnon Judkins and the Browns offense
10:09actually looked better this past week,
10:11but that was with them just allowing
10:13Sher Sanders to drop back pretty much
10:15every single snap. And honestly, they
10:17didn't lean on the run nearly as much
10:18with Judkins. And the next three weeks,
10:21they play at Chicago, they're going to
10:23be heavy dogs. They play at home against
10:25Buffalo, they'll be heavy dogs. And then
10:27they play at home against Pittsburgh. I
10:30mean, they play week 18 in Cincinnati,
10:33which obviously that'd be a great
10:34matchup if your fantasy championship was
10:37in week 18 for whatever reason. But I
10:39want to be on the record real quick. How
10:41I'm making these rankings and how I'm
10:43making these videos from here on out is
10:45operating under the assumption that your
10:48playoffs are weeks 15, 16, and 17, and
10:51week 18 is meaningless. If your
10:54commissioner set it up where y'all are
10:55playing in week 18
10:58to fire your commissioner, get a new
11:00one. Like, I'm not even going to be
11:01making videos or live streaming in week
11:0318. I'll be completely honest with you.
11:05Now, tier D and above, all those players
11:09are must start every single week for
11:11most formats. Tier E and below,
11:15I hope you don't have to start them.
11:16Jaylen Warren is startable.
11:19He has a decent floor every single week.
11:21He's going to get double-digit
11:23opportunities, but Kenneth Gainwell just
11:25played the same amount of snaps. And
11:27again, my favorite stat is Jaylen Warren
11:29has not scored 20 fantasy points all
11:31year. Um, Rico Dowel was a muststart
11:34running back earlier in the season where
11:36his first five games starting for the
11:38Carolina Panthers, he had scored 32, 34,
11:4128, 15, and 15 fantasy points. But over
11:44the past two weeks, the Chuba Hubard
11:46usage has increased quite dramatically.
11:50So, it's much much tougher for me to
11:52come through and tell you, yeah, you
11:53should be excited about Rico Dattle. I
11:56still would assume that he is the
11:57starter here, but I mean one more week
12:00of Chuba playing ahead of him. We're
12:01going to flip this. Then DeAndre Swift,
12:04Kyle Manungai will be our next two
12:05backs. Um DeAndre Swift's the guy I
12:07would prefer even if Manungai is
12:09expanding his role and Swift is
12:11shrinking because DeAndre Swift is going
12:13to be the receiving back. Kyle Manungai
12:15is not really going to have anything as
12:16a receiver. But my big concern is the
12:18Chicago backfield is kind of turning
12:20into what you have with the Seattle
12:22backfield. We're going over to Seattle
12:24and Kenneth Walker with Charbanet.
12:26Neither of these players are startable.
12:28The only hope that you have is one of
12:30them goes down and the other one turns
12:32into a league winner. And then with
12:33Chicago, I want to circle back and point
12:35out that you do have some really, really
12:37tough matchups over the next two weeks.
12:39And then with Woody Marks, um, he
12:42continues to get the volume over and
12:44over and over again. He finally this
12:47past week did something. He scored a
12:50touchdown, so he scored 15 fantasy
12:52points. But here's the thing, he had 29
12:56opportunities and scored 15 fantasy
12:59points. The week prior, he had 20
13:01opportunities and scored seven. The week
13:02before that, he had 17 opportunities and
13:05scored eight. Woody Marks does the least
13:08with the most. Now, I honestly am
13:12probably going to move him up these
13:13rankings a bit. I think he should be
13:14higher in this tier because the volume
13:16is safe with Woody Marks the way that it
13:18isn't with some of these other backs and
13:21he has very good matchups over the next
13:22two weeks. Now, are Fiers going to be
13:25let off with Aaron Jones? I got this
13:28completely wrong last week. I thought
13:29Aaron Jones was nuked with the shoulder
13:31injury based off his reaction on the
13:33sideline. I thought, well, there goes
13:35Aaron Jones this season. And then just
13:37four days later, he's off the injury
13:39report. But Aaron Jones has not scored a
13:42has not scored a game with 10 plus
13:44fantasy points in the past three weeks.
13:46I will say this next week, he gets a
13:48great matchup against the Dallas
13:49Cowboys. Then David McGomery will be our
13:52next option. If you are going to look at
13:54McGomery, it's going to be very
13:56difficult imagining starting him against
13:58the Rams this next week or the Vikings
14:00week 17. So really, I would only ever
14:02start him if you were to get that injury
14:03to Gibbs. But that window of a Gibbs
14:06injury is shrinking. Zack Charbanet. I'd
14:08only ever start him if Kenneth Walker
14:10goes down, but that window is shrinking.
14:12Devin Neil is the starting running back
14:14for the New Orleans Saints right now.
14:15He's getting a tremendous amount of
14:17volume. The next three weeks, he has
14:19very good matchups, but my hesitation is
14:21I don't even know if Kamar is going to
14:22miss this next week. So, this will be a
14:24ranking that we need to make sure we
14:25continue to update. I'm going over and
14:27looking at Kareem Hunt. Technically, he
14:29is like the starting running back for
14:31the Kansas City Chiefs, but at the same
14:32time, it's by no means a guarantee that
14:35he has any ceiling whatsoever. He has
14:38one game this year with 20 fantasy
14:40points, and he scored legitimately 20.0.
14:43Looking at the matchups the next three
14:44weeks, you have at least one good match
14:46up against the Tennessee Titans in week
14:4816. Um, Jupah Hubard, I would assume, is
14:51not the starting running back here in
14:54Carolina, even though he played 62% of
14:56the snaps and saw 19 opportunities
14:58against the Rams back in week 13. I will
15:01say kind of regardless, the Carolina
15:03backs have a really tough match up week
15:0517 against Seattle. Um, Tyron Tracy, I
15:08want to rank here. He has a good match
15:10up against the Commanders week 15, good
15:12match up against the Raiders in week 17.
15:14My hold up with Tracy is I just don't
15:16know if he's going to be healthy.
15:18Kenneth gained well splitting the
15:19backfield with Jaylen Warren, but
15:21definitely still playing second fiddle.
15:23I've gained well on my bench. If I was
15:25super super desperate, I could look to
15:27get him in, but primarily I'm more so
15:29just going to be banking on if Warren
15:31goes down in like week 15. I know
15:33Gainwell wins me week 16. Um Blake
15:36Corum, phenomenal week this past week.
15:38He's now had back-to-back games setting
15:41a careerhigh in fantasy points with 14
15:44and 26. It's been off of rushing
15:47touchdowns. Blake Cororm still so far in
15:51his NFL career has had a total of 13
15:55receptions. This season he's had 13
15:57receiving yards. So nothing is a
16:00receiver. Kron Williams still has a
16:02large enough role where if you were to
16:04ever start Blake Cororm, you must have
16:07um nuts of steel. Now Devin Singleary
16:11maybe, just maybe is viable this next
16:13week if Tyron Tracy's injured, but
16:16again, you had positive word with Tyron
16:18Tracy on the by-week this past week.
16:19Going to be very important to monitor
16:20the injury reports. Kamani Vidal this
16:23next week does project to split the
16:25backfield with Amari Hampton close to
16:275050. Now, with that being said, with
16:29Kamani Vidal, it is extremely difficult
16:32to
16:34see any type of upside here knowing that
16:37Amari Hampton has all the draft capital
16:38in the world. Amari Hampton's the more
16:40talented back. So, Vid Doll is going to
16:42be second fiddle in the coming weeks and
16:45you have tough matchups, but maybe he's
16:47the guy this week, but it won't be that
16:48way for the playoffs. Um, Alvin Kamara
16:51is injured and even when he was healthy,
16:53he was averaging 9.2 fantasy points per
16:56game. So, I don't know why you could
16:57ever look at him. Um, Tyler Algier,
16:59premium handcuff, Manuel Wilson, premium
17:01handcuff. And I'll throw Trey Benson
17:02here. I'm really hoping Trey Benson
17:05comes back this week for um maybe a
17:08random touchdown for a basketball team
17:11that I have with Trey Benson. Y'all know
17:12I faded James Connor and went heavy in
17:14on Trey Benson this season, but
17:18um I don't know. So, the report that we
17:21got this past week does make it seem
17:23like Trey Benson may not be coming back
17:26this season whatsoever. But, I am very
17:29much hoping that you made the fantasy
