0:00I would literally rather lose than draft these 4 massive name running backs.
0:04We're talking big name running backs. Again, I would rather lose than draft these guys to have them on my roster.
0:10That's how much I believe, that's how much conviction I have that these guys are going to bust this year.
0:16So do not draft these guys. I'll tell you who they are and why to avoid them.
0:21Especially the last guy here. I have zero idea why he's so hyped up.
0:25It makes zero sense to me. I'm excited to tell you who they are.
0:29Okay? New to the channel. Subscribe. Swipe it, hype it, smash it, tap it if you guys watch regularly.
0:35Really helps the channel. And right now, grab 16 rounds.
0:37Right now, I've linked it below. Sleepers, breakouts, optimal players.
0:40All the answers. All my sleepers. All the players to avoid.
0:44Everything on a silver platter delivered to you. Do not draft for those 16 rounds.
0:48You will lose your league. And league mates that do have 16 rounds will be light years ahead of you.
0:54So don't let that happen. Grab 16 Rounds. I've linked it below.
0:57Okay? Let's talk about these 4 running backs to avoid.
1:00And I'm excited to dive into this. Okay? The first one is Christian McCaffrey.
1:04This is pretty obvious if you're a regular to my channel.
1:08I'm going to hammer this point home if you haven't heard it.
1:11If you're new to the channel, welcome. I'm not a CMC fan.
1:15Why? Because he's completely inconsistent. Okay? Last year, 416 fantasy points.
1:181202 yards. 10 touchdowns rushing. 7 receiving, give or take.
1:21Okay? But here's the deal with Christian McCaffrey. I'm going to hammer this point home in case you guys missed the memo here.
1:28The past three, three out of the past six years, he's busted.
1:31Meaning, he's 50-50. So if you draft him, right?
1:34It's like, yes, he could do well or no, he can't.
1:37It's like one year up, one year down. One year, like that's the type of momentum this guy has given, right?
1:43Like, you don't know what you're going to get, right?
1:46Like, it's like that old movie, like Forrest Gump, right?
1:49Life is like a box of chocolates. Well, fantasy is like a box of CMCs.
1:53You never know what you're going to get. You're going to get an injury-prone guy or you're going to get a guy who finishes on top.
2:01That being said, last year he finished on top, which means this year he's most likely going to what?
2:06Trend down, right? Like 416 fantasy points. Not duplicatable, right?
2:09Last time a running back finished on top two years in a row was Priest Holmes, 2002-2003.
2:14It's very rare for a running back to do this historically to finish on top two years in a row.
2:20So that's telling me that a decline is absolutely imminent.
2:23That's telling me that a third, pretty much, what is it?
2:26Like third overall wide running back is where he's ranked, RB3, right?
2:30He's going to come off top 5, 6, 7.
2:32Maybe he'll go to 8. I doubt it. He's going to be a top 5, 6 pick.
2:37Like I'm not paying that for a guy who I know historically is going to fade, right?
2:42Not only from a running back perspective. Running backs just don't do it two years in a row.
2:48But from a CMC perspective where this guy just does not finish seasons, okay?
2:52One year on, one year off. That's how it works, all right?
2:55So I'm not taking that chance. And he's 30 years old to boot, all right?
3:00And they said they're going to lighten his workload.
3:02There's a lot of things. And they drafted Caleb Black.
3:05There's like, I got so many reasons up my sleeve on why I'm not drafting CMC, all right?
3:11So just don't do it, guys. Make smarter decisions, all right?
3:14The second one here, this is going to blow your mind here because no one's talking about this.
3:19They just have him ranked RB5. Is Devin a chain?
3:22Now, A-chain, okay? Here's why I don't like A-chain.
3:25It's very simple to me. These guys have, first of all, I'm not a believer in that chain, all right?
3:30Look, if you look at his stats the past three years, last year was his best year, okay?
3:36He's just not a guy that gets it done every single year, like statistically.
3:40Like, he's been safe, but he hasn't been like, you know, Saquon Barkley type pinnacle.
3:44You remember Saquon Barkley in his pinnacle year? He doesn't put up those monster numbers.
3:49Last year, 1,350 yards, 5.7 yards per carry, eight touchdowns.
3:52Those are good, but they're just not like, I'm not wowed by them.
3:55They're like, 238 attempts. He doesn't get the high volume, right?
3:59Like, he's not a 300 attempt type guy. Now, here's the thing that really turns me off of Devin a chain this year more than anything, right?
4:06This is very simple for me, is that they don't have any wide receivers.
4:11Their wide receiver one is Malik Washington, okay? This guy was a sixth round pick a couple years ago.
4:16They don't have any wide receivers. Guys, what does that translate to?
4:20Now, they drafted Chris Bell. There's some upside there.
4:22There could be some there. He's a sleeper. He's got his share of injuries coming off an injury, but they don't have any wide receivers.
4:30What does that mean? It means that more stacked boxes.
4:32It means that he's the focal point of the offense.
4:35It means he's going to get neutralized. It's that simple.
4:38Malik Willis is the quarterback, all right? This situation is not good.
4:42Greg Dulcich, or whatever his name is, is the tight end one.
4:45Again, it's not good. Like, I do not trust Miami's offense.
4:49I just don't trust the team. I don't trust the quarterback.
4:52I don't trust the wide receivers. Stack box, and I'm not really an out-chain believer, right?
4:56His first year got banged up, right? I get, no, man, way too high for this guy.
5:01I don't, like, he's just not going to finish as a top five running back, top 10.
5:06I don't even see top 10 or 15 this year.
5:09I see him getting completely stuffed at the goal line a lot.
5:13They're going to completely neutralize him. And I think this offense is going to be a disaster, all right?
5:18Do not draft out-chain. Number three, this guy's a total bust.
5:22And I don't know why he's sitting as RB13.
5:24It blows my mind. He's had one 1K season, four touchdowns.
5:27Like, this guy doesn't eclipse four to five touchdowns.
5:30That's kind of his pinnacle peak per year. And the coaches have already said they're going to run a three-headed monster.
5:36I wouldn't even say monster because the guys behind him aren't that good.
5:40But Braille now, apparently, is putting on weight. Isaiah Davis.
5:43But what I'm talking about is Brees Hall. Like, do not draft this guy.
5:47Like, just no. Like, he's just not proven that he's going to be a consistent guy.
5:52And the Jets just can't be trusted. The Jets are a terrible offense historically for fantasy.
5:56Or as of recently, anyway. Do not trust these guys.
5:59Do not care for Brees Hall. Do not care for this offense.
6:03I mind you, you know, Sadiq could be an interesting prospect at tight end.
6:07But, yeah, man. I would not draft Brees Hall.
6:10Like, especially when the coaches come and saying, we're going to have a three-headed, you know, monster situation.
6:15I don't know what the exact quote was. But, like, no.
6:18Don't do it, okay? And the last guy here makes zero sense.
6:22I don't know why this guy's RB11. Considering he finished outside the RB20 plus last year.
6:26And he's in a worse situation, okay? And I'll tell you who it is.
6:30Before I do, make sure you guys do grab 16 rounds.
6:34Hit the thumbs up. And drop in the comments below.
6:37Drop a name of a running back you're avoiding.
6:39A big name running back you're avoiding. I want to make this interactive, okay?
6:43So, this guy. Okay, I'm going to get to this guy.
6:47Is in a slight committee. They drafted Emmitt Johnson, the KC Chiefs.
6:50They got Brashard Smith and Demarcato. Demarcato's going to probably be involved in some of the passing game.
6:55If they don't start using Emmitt Johnson. Emmitt Johnson could have been a full workhorse running back, by the way.
7:01Just not, you know, they put him in a committee with Kenneth Walker.
7:05And that's the guy I'm talking about is Kenneth Walker.
7:08I'm going to give you a quick stat. I looked it up when I was looking this up.
7:13I think it was the last time a KC Chiefs running back finished top 12.
7:18Not even top 10. Was Kareem Hunt in 2018.
7:20That's what we're talking about. The Chiefs do not produce workhorse running backs.
7:24Remember when everybody was telling you Clyde Edwards or Lair round one.
7:27When he was a rookie. I said, don't draft him.
7:30Like, I don't trust the Chiefs, right? And then Clyde Edwards-Lair career.
7:34Where is Clyde Edwards-Lair? Just not relevant, right? The careers for Chiefs running backs.
7:38They don't end up good. Like, Pacheco didn't do well.
7:41Like, they did average. Like, you know what I mean?
7:44Like, there could be a chance that they just work Walker.
7:47And make him the workhorse guy. And just keep running him and running him.
7:51And using him in the passing game and becomes a machine.
7:54There's a chance. But personally, I don't trust it.
7:57Especially with Walker coming off a Super Bowl hangover.
8:00I don't, you know, coming off this pinnacle year, Super Bowl MVP or whatever.
8:04Players tend to decline after that, okay? And I just don't trust the situation with the KC Chiefs.
8:09And they've got two mobile quarterbacks with fields. They're saying they're going to be quarterbacked by committee.
8:14As Mahomes is still healing from his injury. I don't like the situation, okay?
8:18So, for me, way too high for Kenneth Walker.
8:21RB11 is ludicrous, okay? So, CMC round one. Devin out of chain.
8:24Those guys coming off pretty much round one. Way too expensive.
8:27Brees Hall, like, what is his ADP? Like, round three-ish, four.
8:31Walker, two to three, give or take, right? These guys are very, very pricey.
8:35When there's better running backs you can get earlier and later than these guys.
8:39I'm not including these guys on my roster this year.
8:42Let me know what you guys think. Are you in or out on these guys?
8:46Are you drafting them? Are you passing? Love to get your feedback.
