2026 Dynasty RB Prospects + Jason's Free Advertising - Dynasty Fantasy Football

[music] Welcome to the Fantasy Footballer's Dynasty Podcast with Borg Betts and a Baller. [music] Welcome in boys. It's February 11th here. It's a big one. It's a big one. Today's a big one. Also, welcome in boys. That's not what you usually say. That's not, but I am joined by two ballers today. No bets, so I feel like the real boys are here to play. The real men, the men are here. The boys are gone. We put bets out for a while, a TBD. He can return when we feel like it. Yeah. When we say it's okay. It's up to us. He's in the doghouse. He's allowed back at some point. It is interesting. We're talking about running back today, scouting this class. And part of the conversation, I feel like it would have been helpful to have bets as a Penn State guy to explain Katron Allen, explain Nicholas Singleton. Yeah, we don't need him on. He's just going to talk too positively about them. He's just going to mention my favorite nickname so far in the class. Katron Allen, aka Fatman. Oh, that's right. I did read about that. I forgot. Katman, Katron is Fatman? He is not a Fatman, but his nickname is Fatman. His mom, but Nick named him Fatman from when he was a baby. He was a Fatbaby. So it really shouldn't be Fatman. It should be like Fat Kid. But so I'm just making sure, like the syllables that we hit, it is like Fatman. It's so it's Fatman. It's not Fatman. Fatman. Fatman. Yeah. Yeah, that's how we're going to choose to hit it. But also Fatman. It's at the point where coaches don't refer to him as Katron. He says there's very few people in his life that call him that. They mostly call him Fatman. Man, it's hey. Sometimes you can hit with one like, hey, this is stink. This is booger. I know a guy, I mean, I didn't like grow up with him. He just was a worker on a project at my house. His name is dirt. And I'm like, wait, how do you, dirt? And it's like, I'm trying to put his phone number in and a D I R. Oh, it's a tea. Yeah. It really is dirt. They could like his, his flat out name. I don't even know what his other, but I can't imagine that's his birth name. But it's just dirt. In elementary school, and probably so much in your heart, that name was probably sick. Oh, yeah. And then you got older and you're like, no. But was Fatman ever cool? Fatman might be cool now, but growing up. Yeah, that might have been rough. At least it's not like fatty. It was just fatty. Yeah. It might feel a little bit funny though. A little funny though. Yeah. But honestly, you are allowed to call superhuman athletes fat. Just like a little John from Robin Hood. Yeah, exactly. I'm actually quite large. Don't let the name fool you. We will scout most of the 2026 class. And when I say most of the class, what we mean is, there's a couple of names to mention. I wish we had, I got looking back at last year's class. It's like, oh, we're going 10 deep. We had to do two episodes on this position. But this year, it's, there's a handful of guys. Dan Brugler just put out his top 100. There are three running backs that he has listed in the top 100. Yeah, it's far more Jonathan Brooks, Tray Benson, year. I mean, we at least have love at the top where that year, I guess, didn't have any one. Right. Right. It's the depth right now according to the pundits is the wide receiver class is in that maybe not real top heavy. I don't like Tyson. The guys, the good, there's guys at the top who have their supporters. But I think overall the feeling is just like it's a solid wide receiver class. A deep solid wide receiver class. Maybe not like a top five overwhelming. We got to get this guy or we're going to have a chance. Correct. But at least we have one of those at the running back position. One of the tasks I was doing earlier is comparing those previous rookie class like we talked about Jonathan Brooks. That pushed up all the other running backs that year. Because the demand for running backs in dynasty still is the same. You mean in rookie drafts? Not the NFL draft. But in rookie drafts, what it calls to do is Blake Korum, Jalen Wright, Marshawn Lloyd, in it up being like mid second round picks. Because everyone's like, I need a running back. I guess this is the next one up. I wonder if that's going to be the same. It will be the same. But people that listen to this show will avoid to the best of their ability that pitfall. We have experienced it too many times. You can see it coming ahead of time. And you need to be able to see it ahead of time. If you don't think about it ahead of time, then once the names go and you start liking the guy in the landing spot is good. Oh, he's taking in the they traded up in the fourth round. You know, so it's like you're going to have all the excuses grasping just grasping for why you should take this running back over the second round wide receiver that was drafted. We're not going to do that here. We're going to be smart. And it's going to end up with better fantasy rosters. If you want to check out all the rankings, our rookie mock draft production profiles, some of the stuff that we're going to talk about on today's show. It is up. It's live right now in the ultimate draft kit plus in our dynasty pass. And I don't know if I had this button. Do you have a little announcement button there, Mike? Nice. Call my mouth. That was that was live. That's what you call the announcement button. Yeah. I'm eating with my announcement button today, boys. The whole family knows they just know, hey, dad, hit that button. If you order by March 1st, you are entered into win a listener league spot. You get the lowest price in the UDK, the UDK plus. And I've never been a part of the listener league. You guys have never invited me. Never allowed me to enter. So I'm assuming I will never be a part of this at all. That is correct. Not allowed. Yeah, I mean, I didn't realize that we had to say it. Yeah. But if you need to be told not welcome, then if you need the answers, it is no. Yeah. Oh, when the kids are like forcing your hand at the answer. And you're like, okay. The answer is no. And you want to play this game? You can't have patience. I've got an answer for you. I'm giving you a maybe right now. And you're like, you keep pushing me. Guess what? The answer is now. No. So Kyle, the answer is now. It's no. Yeah. Okay. With an asterisk, right? No. No, it's like. Well, I mean, he has a league of record champ. What does it have to do with the listener league? Everything. I see Mike knows that as a co-manager, I understand I don't have the same place. But we have a good thing going on. Yeah. I'm not just some random dude that doesn't check the lineup. I'm a worthy co-manager. That's right. Yeah. I have, I got B Ket over in the listener league though. He's always dragging me down. You just need to cut ties with that. UltimateDraftKid.com. I'm looking at a rookie mock draft right now. Jason, you drew the 101. Yes, sir. And it was a very easy 101 to select. Which I'm sure when we get into the segment, which we're not there yet. Because I imagine there's a button that you're going to hit. But Jeremiah Love will be the 101 in most all rookie drafts. I think even in Super Flex drafts. Some will take Mendoza ahead. That's been, it's been a discussion every gear since we've had the dynasty pod of like. You don't, I mean, last year it was cam board. And we're like, you don't have to, you do not, you do not have to. You feel compelled to because if it hits and to pay off, like, you don't have to do that. You don't have to take ward with your 101. You can take the best. People are finally whizing up to that. I think like five years ago, if you played in the Super Flex dynasty league. The top three picks were just quarterbacks because it's like, oh, they're too important. There's scarcity in, in, you know, the, the value and longevity and all that. And people have just made too many mistakes. It's, it's the exact same situation of pushing up running backs with bad draft capital over wide receivers with good draft capital is just simply. Like we, we, you, you can't make a good pick by making a bad pick. So it's a real. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally more thing. That was a Socrates said that. Yes. And so it's like if, if you. So creeps. Oh, yeah, I'm supposed to take this position. Not if he sucks. Right. But if you work, then you, you don't need to take anybody. Yeah, you can just, you don't have to make a pick. Yeah, say pass. But yeah, I definitely think that Jeremiah Love will be on average in ADP, even in Super Flex leagues. I think he'll be taken ahead of Mendoza, you know, 101 102 and in one of those orders. We'll be talking quarterbacks next week to kind of have that discussion. Where does he land? 'cause I feel like even, because the wide receiver, receivers are fairly strong, you don't have to take him at two, you don't have to take him at three. Like I think right now, I'd probably take him at like five in a superflex and I think that that is a worthy discussion. If you really are bullish and depending on the draft capital, the thing with Mendoza is right now. We know he's going one-on-one in the NFL. Yeah. And we know he'll have cubes. Yeah. So we've got some stuff we like about him. You know, if you like Tyson and you, it's real different if Tyson gets drafted at 14 or if he gets drafted at four, so we got to wait till after the draft to let those chips fall. All right. So we'll hop in a running backs on this episode, talk about scouting them and then what we're going to do in rookie drafts. Running backs. Last week, we talked about what we look for at each position in terms of production profiles. And the thing we said about running backs was real simple. Did you score touchdowns? Did you catch passes? It's kind of the main things we're looking for. So if you go in the dynasty pass, you can see everybody's metrics, everybody's dominated rating, all the things that really, really matter. But from a top down level, we have the discussion earlier, a lot of these guys, you're staring at your rookie draft at the end of the first round. Like, when we were doing our mock, I was in the second round and I was like, God, do I really want to take a running back that might, as of right now, be like a day three pick or somebody else, like Eli Stowers of Vanderbilt, the, the tight end, that might be the tight end two or three off the board. I feel like there's a lot of question marks at this point in the process that I don't know the answers to. So I'm just saying right now. It's the wrong tight end too in general kind of just going to just say you need to put it in. Mike's got it. We've already got a new one. We've got his new tight end. Man affair. Yes. I do. Who is it? What are we reveal? I don't know. I'm just saying you're allowed to reveal if you want to reveal or if you want to hold for the tight end episode. I'll just say he plays that are played at Baylor. Okay. No one can figure it out. And he's a dog. Oh, man. I'm so excited for him. It was a slow trip. It's in it. Dude. That's right. It was a slow trickle of Mike watching the film looking at some of our numbers and then I'm just slowly getting messages like I usually feed Kyle just like he's he's just like my Sherpa as I'm walking through all this because I know he's he's more in tune. He already knows some of these guys. So I'm just discovering them and I'm like, hey, you know this about that guy and he's like, yeah, idiot. I already know that guy is. But the tight ends was just I'm like, dude, I'm three in. No dogs. No dogs. And Tadeek is like at a organ. Very interesting player, but he would I might note for him on my dog on me. It was like, I don't see it. He's not a cat. He's just kind of neutral, but I want to see it. I want I want to see you. You're huge. Go punish somebody. Let him know. We've all got our types. The way that we organize this, we kind of went back and forth because there are ranks that we have in the dynasty pass. And then there's what the, you know, mocked rafters are saying, this is where these running backs will go. And as of right now, we said the supply is pretty low. So I'm going to go in the order of where they're going on NFL mocked draft database, something we talk about a lot on the show, which will be no surprise that we're starting with Jeremiah love and then a monster gap. So right now, Jeremiah love at a Notre Dame is a junior six foot to 14. He's the number one running back on all your boards. He's the 10th overall player on a lot of boards. I'm seeing him as high as like two or three. Yeah. I think I think Jeremiah has him on his, I think he was number two overall on his big board. It's, I mean, it's impressive. And I was going back and just looking at the last couple of classes, like how normal is that for someone to be a top five player. It's like, it's Bijan and a couple others. I mean, it's like, it's just not normal for someone to be that I even Gibbs. We think of Gibbs now. He wasn't seen as like a top 10 overall player. No. And at this time of the year, Gibbs was a second rounder. It wasn't until near the NFL draft. It's like, there's rumors he's going to, he's going to sneak into the first round. And then he was like, oh, he's a top 12 pit. This is, I mean, Jeremiah love. I think we'll have some nuance takes here about his skill. I personally, I don't put him in the same tier as like Bijan and Seikwan and the truly like crazy elite players. He's very, very good. He's the clear 101, he's the 101 in rookie drafts. I will, I will say before we move on to other players. I think there's going to be a lot of disagreement on players on this episode, which is probably great for the listeners. You're going to hear different sides of everybody, but looking at like, all right, because we haven't, Mike and I haven't even talked about most of these players. And Kyle, you and I haven't talked about them. We've all come in, done our own independent work, but when I read some of your notes or I see Mike's ranks, I know mine. I'm like, this is going to be a spicy episode, but Jeremiah love is just, he's really good. He's super well rounded. He looks very mature as far as like intellectually IQ vision, I have a smart field vision. Yeah, exactly. You just see, he makes really good decisions. It's always difficult for me to be like, you know, oh, do you think he says good as a prospect of his vision? And it's like, I don't know. I know that when I'm watching him on tape, I'm like, this is a great running back that. And then you look at the mock draft points is like, he's probably going to be drafted in the top 10. And when a running back just drafted in the top 10, like NFL draft stock matters a ton. You don't want to overcount it, but it matters. And when a team drafts are running back to the top 10, they have a plan. They have a vision. Sometimes it can take a second to get it going even beach on. It took a moment for us to get where we are today with beach on's value. But like Jeremiah love, there's a couple of spots that it would not surprise me depending on what the Raiders do, and I promise, I'm not just trying to be come out with a flamethrower. Depending what the Raiders do at their offensive line to fix things for them in action genty, like if love goes to the chiefs, hey, like I have love ranked ahead of genty for dynasty. I could easily like that doesn't bother me that. So I'm saying, is he as good as beach on sake one coming out? Maybe. I think he's great. And if he goes to the right spot with the top 10 pick, then he automatically will shoot up and he'll just be a top five dynasty running back. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think he probably is a top five dynasty running back right now. But we don't know the destination that he. He's not to me. He did not strike me as like a real short yardage pile pusher, but his well rounded nature, the fact that he's going to be a top 10 draft pick means you're going to get opportunities, touches is vision was so good. He was so patient behind the line, reminding me of like a speedier levy on bell, because he would always just wait and then and then do the right thing. He just always did the right thing and that's such a valuable tool coaches are going to love that. But I don't think he was as like in a one on one situation as impossible to tackle as some of the other elite, elite, elite, like coming out top into the NFL draft. But yeah, he'll be a he's a top five dynasty running back right now. Yeah. And when we say names like beach on we're talking of maybe the one of the best of the best of you have the video game controller and can literally do whatever you want on the field. So we're really just splitting hairs about how good he is. I will say and just learning behind the scene stuff like came to school as a four star out of high school. And he doesn't have the like alpha personality the way that you'd see some running backs. Like he's super quiet off the field, even as coaches say like at first we thought he didn't like us. But because he was so standoffish, but works really hard. He set the Notre Dame record for most consecutive games, the rushing touchdown. He was third in the Highsman race. And then as a pass catcher, he was highest in this class in yards per out run. So the kind of stuff we care about, did you hit the mark? So 11% of the team's receptions, he had 12%. So we care about that mark. I really don't have a ton of notes to say like I didn't like this. Sometimes I think he took on more contact because he has so many moves that he kind of ends up running into contact because he's doing that. And so he runs with his off ball hand a lot like up in the air, setting up defenders. It reminded me of Lashon McCoy when he would run. He was kind of how he got away with, he always got away with it. Yeah. Yeah. He was a funny comp for me. And then I said, he's a leaner version of Jonathan Taylor. It's what I wrote. Yeah. And the, it will be the offensive line for Notre Dame. I think it is also worth, it is part of the discussion of, that's a good, that's a good run blocking line. At least when I'm going back and watching, I don't know if they are ranked or respected like that in college. Like I said, we're, we're pro and then we start getting into the prospects. But like I, I don't ding loves stock. the jadearian price who is a lot of people. they're number two running back. Same school, you know, it's the RB2 playing behind love, and you're watching, like when I'm watching Price, he's just, he's gouging people up the middle because he's running through a Cadillac sized gap. So, you know, it's always interesting of how much do you factor that in? Because offensive lines can make average running backs look like great running backs, and then those great running backs go to situations with bad offensive lines, and also you're like, "Oh, that's an average running back." So, how much do you want to factor that into your, your analysis and how you're ranking guys? It's a, it needs to be at least a part of the story. - Yeah, I mean, ironically, we should probably just get into him. He's the number two projected mock draft database running back, right? - Yeah, it's interesting, and it's weird to say that about somebody who is the number two running back on his team to then be sitting here. I mean, we haven't seen this since what? Like, Sony Michelle, Nick Chubb, kind of days where you have this kind of one, two. Jadarian Price is, to me, really interesting because it's a very, very narrow thread that he can hit. Like, just to give you the stat right off the start, in college, he had 15 receptions. So, that's not great. In fact, - Which season, wait, which season did he have 15 receptions? That's not a great number for a season. - All of them. - Oh, all of them. So, in every single one? - So, he had 15 receptions in every single season, huh? - Over the course of college, he had 15 receptions. - Oh, here's the cool style of it. - So, okay. So, he, - That's way different. - What a receiving profile on Jardians. - Yeah, Jason's been. - Yes, I just, I saw the name and I couldn't see anything other than Jardians. And so, every time I'm watching him, I'm thinking about him, it's just Jardian. - I'm thinking about my A1, I'm thinking about my health, brother. And, you know, with one pill a day, Jardians can. - A big, not a sponsor. Yeah, you're getting into dangerous waters over here. But yeah. So, anyways, go on with your Jardian stats. - My Jardian stats are, there's only been four running backs over the last decade, who were drafted on day two, which is kind of where he's projected. That had fewer than 20 total receptions in college. It's a weird group, it's Derek Henry, Donta Foreman, Nick Chubb, and Kenneth Walker, which brings up this discussion. I remember this exactly, I believe it was Jason. When Kenneth Walker was coming out of college, so it was Wake Forest and it was Michigan State, we looked at his profile and we said, "This guy didn't catch passes, and Jason, you said, "it's just he wasn't asked to catch passes." - That's right, I watched, and I watched every catch of his, and they looked great and fine, but he wasn't asked to. So then there wasn't enough data. So I went and I watched him in high school. He was a great pass catcher in high school. I literally found high school film of him and watched him. - Yes. - And he was a really good high school pass catcher. I don't know that it's the same here. This is a team that does pass to the running back. Look at Jeremiah Love. This is a team that did not pass the ball to him. It's a big worry for me. I have a real hard time. - I have him with the subpar rating. - Yeah, me catching. So this is a guy. I'll just come right out and say like, I have a very difficult time scouting Giderian because he is the second running back behind the nation's best running back. If you're a defense, you are focused on Jeremiah Love. Whenever Jeremiah Love leaves the field, you are playing a different style of ball. And all of a sudden their backup comes in, you take a breath, and he rips off, he's super fast. This was a great, highly talented player coming out of high school. And so he's got gangbusters speed. - That's funny, I don't see him as that. - But when he runs through a giant open hole and I feel like, okay, I just didn't see, and I didn't get enough film where I'm like, I don't know if he's a really good running back or if he's just able to do that backup job really well. - With a really strong offensive line. With a really strong offensive line, with a defense that's now taking a breath that Jeremiah Love is off the field. So I personally have more yellow flags, worries about Giderian than clearly you do, Kyle. I think is Giderian your number two, 'cause I looked at some of your notes in here, and it seemed like you were pretty hot and bothered for him. - I like, his kick return ability is something I do factor in a lot for running back some wide receivers. And he did return a few in college. He's interesting because like his upper body is way bigger than his lower body. His lower body feels like it's just really skinny. And yet he has plays where he can get up to speed and some people are saying he's gonna run the four fours, whatever, I think it's a very, very narrow thread to be a Nick Chubb and work for fantasy or be one of these players that get early down work and then you don't see a ton of receptions. - This other list of guys is like Derek Henry, Nick Chubb. - He's from monsters and that's Super Bowl MVP. - Kenneth Walker. - These are, and Dianca Foreman. - Dianca Foreman was going to work. - He was gonna be great. He ran sub four for it, 220. - He was gonna work and he tore his feet. - And Giderian is 210 pounds. He's not, he is not the same style of back that we've ever seen work without a reception profile. - Right, I wrote down he's a unicorn to compare. Like I use those historical comparisons to not say he's the same physically as those guys. And then we talked about this last week, Mike, where we said like, man, that's not like 674 rushing yards. That's so low for someone to be drafted in rounds one, two, or three. Only Josh Jacobs fits that profile. So it's such a rare thing to be able to see all of this. I guess some team is gonna use day two draft capital. So we're gonna have to pay attention to that point. You can also make the argument that he has less wear and tear on the tires, whatever. He's an interesting player to me. It's hard for me to look at some of these other guys we're gonna talk about in a second. And I see the pass catching work and I know what translates in PPR leagues. So I like the player, but I can't really be bullish based on a small sample size. - Yeah, that's fair. - All right, so if he goes in round two though, we have to adjust, right? - Yeah, certainly. I mean, I think I would say if he goes in round two and nobody else does, is Jonah next? - Yeah. - Yeah, it's like Jonah Coleman out of Washington. If he doesn't go until the third and price goes in the second, yeah, then I'm going to, I just said it. Draft stock, it does really matter. And round two to round three matters. We throw out day two. Day two is really just the cover of, my guy got drafted in the third round. - Yeah, exactly. - When we say day two, we mean round three. 'Cause otherwise we'd say round two. - I would say he was a round two pick. - Hunter for say day two. I want you to associate your feelings with round two running back, except he didn't get drafted. - Oh my, that is such a truth bomb. I mean, that is so vulnerable of you. 'Cause it's 100% true. I mean, I knew, it sounds great. Oh, day two pick. But of course, if he's drafted in round two, we will always highlight that. I mean, it's literally a synonym. - Yes. - Day two does not mean round two. Day two means, yeah, 100% every time it means round three. But so if that happens, then yeah, I will take a look. But let's say price goes, you know, higher second round and Jonah falls to the late second round. But I like Jonah's spot better. - I will not hesitate to not let that gap persuade me against my evaluation partners. - Yeah, I agree. I'm gonna be tough to move. I don't think he's gonna be the only guy drafted in the second and stand alone. I would move if that happens. But I just, he dealt with fumbling issues on limited touches. He has an injury history and was the backup. Well, some team, I mean, this is one of the interesting things is sometimes when you have a weak draft class, it actually helps guys like this. Because there's not a whole lot of guys I can grab in round four, five, six, seven. - Yeah. - So, you know, it might help his draft capital. - Yeah, that is something to take into account of because of the lack of running backs. Someone might, and the tear drops, some 18 might be persuaded to jump in on price earlier than they would if there were more prospects to get later. - Yeah, when you compare breakout age, all of production metrics, he's behind pretty much everybody. So like, that in itself is a red flag. I did not mind his film. I thought his vision was pretty good, but we're gonna have to wait and see, see where he gets drafted. Let's take a quick break, and then we'll talk about Jonah Coleman. (upbeat music) All right, next up is Jonah Coleman running back out of Washington, formerly from the U of A, Jason's Alma Mater. - Oh. - So, that mystery has a pretty close. You guys are pretty close, in his two years there. - Yeah, I just call him Jonah. We're on that kind of a basis. - He's not even like-- - I don't call Mr. Coleman at all. - Okay. Not like like Joe co. No, it's a full first name base. Right. We're not that Joe co is a He's a pretty fun player like his film and You also have to have a context of what Washington was a couple years ago Remember they made it to the college football Final with Michael Pinnix and Adunzay in that team team has kind of fallen off in a couple of years But still really interesting player Five-nine two-twenty. I bet he's gonna come in below that He measured it five eight and three-fourths. Oh, there's the there's the two-twenty. I got uniform blindness on though I I readily admit it, but when he's when he weighs into two-fifteen, I will say ha ha Well, didn't he weigh in at the at the I don't have his measurement no in front of me. Okay. Um, I do have a list of players that are that are below five nine and it's a fun list of players that are Day two picks over the last couple years and some of them are outliers and I think that's part of the conversation we're having is It's one thing to have a production profile. It's another thing to be Elite at the next level so you can throw in Devane Chan as whoa. He's under you know this this height But it's like he's a very different player than Jonah Coleman. So Jason, what did you see on film? So I went in a little bit pessimistic when when I'm when I'm starting my scouting process Um, I try to get a lay of the land from a couple different resources I trust and I saw some negative things about Jonah Coleman So I thought I was gonna see negative things about him and I was really surprised that I I very much enjoyed Jonah Coleman I think he's the only other running back and I'm not saying like I'm convinced he's going to work um for fantasy and the hill get great NFL draft capital and and and all that However, I I like he's my number two running back and then that's To me, it's like him at love and Jonah Coleman. I'm excited about. I'm really excited for Jonah Coleman I want to see where he goes. I think he is very very fast. He is he's got a special attribute to him that um I look for in a player like does he have something special was this just a system? Was this a scheme? He constantly Had this burst that got away from people over and over and over he is If he weighs in it to 20 which would be surprising for someone good There's there's weights that are even higher than that Where's the no, I know he is he's a bowling ball. He's 230. I I if he weighs in at at 20 Happening. I think that the mistake that some people and I think this is very slimy This is the negative view point that people have on him is they see this 220 pound back or even in other reports 230 he's supposed to be a big back and he's not a pile mover He's not sure. I had a low power ring 100% and so people see that and they go oh, man 220 it's what it's it's AJ Dylan Oh, sure well, but AJ Dylan yeah, well, that's a whole another conversation. It's a totally different play style Jonah Coleman is not a short yardage back pile moving back Jonah You know he looks like you should right Jonah Coleman is a explosive Bursty back you want to get him to the outside you want to get him the ball in his hands in the passing him He has unbelievable hands. You're going to rifle that ball right into him And he doesn't even blink. He just sticky hands catches it turns around and goes There are a lot of traits that I look for him backs one-on-one situations Pass catching ability speed to the outside and some kind of difference making skill that I think can translate to the NFL And he checks those boxes for me. Will he get the draft capital and the opportunity that is TV season day two pick Yeah, he's probably yeah, he's he's not a first round pick. He's a day two pick But I like him. I can't wait. He's like a top 100 picked. I think he could I think he could be a second round pick like I think he can Um, I really want to see his 40 time Um, because when I watched he's fast to me. I thought he was super fast and I didn't want to write down Whenever you've got someone that's short and fast at running back you're like MJD I went back and I watched MJD's called film MJD was the pile mover as well. He he had Far more power Than Jonah Coleman had but like a Brian Westbrook Who I felt like it was a good comp well rounded back Very successful and fantasy football one of those shorter thicker guys I'm I'm really excited for the combine Jonah Coleman's gonna be who I'm watching the most because I could see him coming in slower than expected, but I'm hopeful he blazes fast he at It's funny you say it because we haven't talked about it yet, but love and Coleman are the two this the only two players I'm actually excited about yeah like the other guys Okay, we'll we'll find out where the chips land. Rookie picks even though we were making a joke about passing Rookie picks have to be spent on somebody So we got to make our best evaluations of Of who can actually stand out from the crowd and give you good value as as a later rookie pick but Coleman the fact that he is fast great at at at catching and I have I always pay attention to contact balance and Coleman's contact balance To me looks not like cream hunt is always my cream hunt in march on like that's my bar. Yeah if you're hallowed Yeah, it's like he's not there. What what would you say Kyle? It's on march on Lloyd. Oh sure But he he wasn't he wasn't at that place that elite of it, but like still very very good. So you combine everything else Jonah Coleman is exciting. I think it will be He will be he'll end up being a riser. I think other people will catch on That this is going to end up being I think he'll end up being the RB2 in in fantasy rookie rankings It he's right now on that fringe of like round three round four in terms of where he's kind of someone he burns up that of 40 Yeah, I mean he's on the the cusp of round three four, but he's also the third Running back in mock draft database like that He's the next guy that could you know come up I think I wrote his past catching a seamless those hands are soft baby. Yeah, that's what I wrote because it's it It just looks natural like a couple of screens that just felt like oh this you were meant to do this My comps are not as glowing maybe, but I think you can be a really good NFL player. So Devon Devon Singletary Duke Johnson a little older. Yeah He was really good as a ppr weapon. So in the right spot This works for fantasy and the production profiles there when you think Um of the receptions he had one fumble Across 396 career touches. So I think he's a Really high floor player that which might sound like a slap in the face But in the NFL it's kind of a big deal as somebody could stay around get a second contract um The next name Is Emmett Johnson? Nebraska who has a crazy a crazy production profile. Yes It sounds like you know Okay, yeah, we throw out a lot of profiles. We're we want to look at your your best generally your best season Also I personally I'm fine with that more like almost at quarterback at running back You know, it's one of those things where you did nothing until you were old you had a late breakout age, right? You were a man playing with boys and then you were great. I can explain that please do you do you know who his coaches Uh, no, I do not know who the coach at Nebraska is It's a guy you're quite familiar with Matt jaw rule. Oh, that's right Murder For God murder in your draft capital Yeah, he So you can kind of explain away you can do either or when it comes to prospects in their production But the final year 12 rushing touchdowns 1400 rushing yards he added 46 receptions He had 39 receptions the year before so from in terms of past kitchens profile I I like that. I like being able to look at a player who was utilized that way in the big 10 And there are players that got day two draft capital that just all of a sudden showed it like Jonathan Brooks Did nothing his first couple years But you could explain it away by oh well these other players were there be genre whoever I I wonder though if he is viewed as somebody that's more of like the Kenneth gainwell type who is in addition to a team Then like somebody else like the highest income I could give is he could be bucky Irving who was a fourth round pick but He's probably going to end up in that range or he's like round four round five and he's just the past catching specialist Which is fine, but it's really hard to see him be like a monster three down guy He he was really fun to me to watch yes because he has this herky jerky. Yeah cut style talks about it I mean, it's it's wild because it's Literally every play there's no play where he doesn't do the same move He has to throw his the body and it starts at the top instead of your feet Using the ground to change the direction. He's like no, I got this but it works so well I mean he he avoided So many tackles in college with this move that defenders couldn't get he's got a special move And I like that But what I wrote down about it when I was scouting him. I says has a perky jump cut that he uses literally every play, it's his entire run style, it works almost every time, but I'm not convinced it will work in the NFL. And that's my big issue is this is the type of play style that like, I'm not sure when he's got guys that are just 20% faster, bigger, stronger that this little cut move. He's got the like the gimmicky run style. I think he might just be put on his back because he's not the type, even though he's he breaks a lot of tackles with that jump cut. He's not the type that like overpowers tackles, breaks through tackles. And he's a 200 pound back where I think his best attribute is greatest attribute was he was a workhorse. You know, he had three, he touched them all 300 times in 12 games. That's awesome. That's the production profile you're talking about. But he's not going to be allowed to do that in the NFL at 200 pounds I, I'm doubting. So this is a guy I really like this college tape. It was fun play style. I know we, I know Andy likes him a lot. So Andy's pretty bullish on him, certainly a name to know I, I enjoyed him, but I don't know if his body and play style will translate to the NFL for fantasy purposes. I'm, I'm more skeptical. I'll just add in though that's this is the type of player though that you should pay attention to because he'll go most likely he'll go later in the draft. He is, Emmett is in the, in Brooklyn's top 100. So yeah, yeah, maybe there's more supporters of Emma Johnson than we know about right now. But I was saying, like Kenneth Gainwell, where who I really, I loved Kenneth Gainwell coming out of Memphis and he got drafted so late into a team where he's, oh, he's buried. But now look at, right now look where Kenneth Gainwell's career has gone. I mean, it's, it can be really difficult to wait for day three, day three running backs like that. You know, you're waiting and waiting. It's never going to happen. But that's the production profile you bet on where he's being used as a past catching specialist and all the sudden an injury happens and now you're like, oh, this dude is, this dude is a top 15 player on a weekly basis. When there are those players that you're not sure if they'll translate to that NFL, but you really like them in college. I think of like Kyron Williams with right. And then he fell in the draft and got injured and it was like Kyron Williams was nothing. And then when he gets his opportunity, it's like, yeah, this guy is good. So should it get opportunity? Maybe he can, maybe he can do it. But I am, I'm pretty skeptical, yeah. In terms of production profile, if you just look at, you add 40 receptions in your final year. It's a pretty good indicator that you're going to catch balls in the next level. In fact, we looked it up. There's been 10 of those guys over the last decade who are drafted on day one or day two. All of them finish as RB1 and PPR except for C.E.H. So it's like, it's the profile that I like betting on, especially if you're day two. I know we're throwing that around, but like Roshad White caught passes in college inefficient, but you knew he could catch passes at the next level and say with Kareem Hunt. Yeah. It's something that I want to jump in on if he's in the right landing spot. But the last point I'll mention, Jason, you said this, like between the tackles was not great and I feel like they ran them up the middle way more than they should have considering his side. When he bounced it outside and was going east to west, I thought he was really good. And it was fun to watch. It was great tape. Gotcha. I think he says that every step, he's like, got you, got you, got you, I'm over here now. It's, you got to watch it. I mean, if you're, if you're listening and you're just trying to learn these rookies, but you didn't watch college, just go put on like, you know, and it's, uh, just highlights just put up a highlight. You'll see it right away. And it's just like every play is just, uh, I'm on the left side, I'm on the right side. Man. Is that a second? That was a second minute type reference. Yes. Goodness. Um, his final college game, 29 carries 217 yards and a touchdown against Iowa. So that would, that might be a fun one if you want to go in there and watch that. Let's take a break. And then we'll talk about these Penn State guys. It's time for the fat man that we've, we've waited long enough to talk about Kate, Sean fat man, Alan. And 511, 217, we're going to have to talk about him in tandem with Nicholas Singleton, who, uh, had the foot injury recently at the senior ball. So we'll talk about both of them. I did find this interesting. I don't know if you remember this story, but Kate, Sean Allen in high school, he went to IMG Academy, which is like a prep school for people that play football. It's a big deal. But they were the team that crushed Bishop Sycamore that like made up high school team. Did you guys know the story? No, I know. Speaking Greek to what? This high school team basically put out all the stuff that they were really, really good and high recruits when really they were a fake organization. And they lost on ESPN 58 to zero. And Kate, Sean Allen was in that game winning 58. Wow. So like they, they, they were paying me the hand the way onto an ESPN game. Yes. How can they be fake? But have a football team. It seems pretty real that you can, you can look up the whole story. But basically like the announcers even were like, how does this known? How did this get like, like, like major TV? Anyway, he was a part of that team that crushed them. Danielle Tate was on that team too, but Alan. It's hard to talk about him and Singleton and say they set the Penn State all time record, you know, in attempts and rushing ours. Just meant they played four years. So when we, when we throw out stats like that, you just continue like, yeah, Singleton's already 22. Yeah. Everybody in this draft class is 22. It's unbelievable. The whole entire like everybody is different than what it was three or four years ago. You've got Jeremiah Love, who is young. And then I pretty sure almost everyone else is 22. Like literally there's a, a care member's name is 21 to everybody. They're all old for, you know, and maybe this is the portal system and the NIL money. I don't know. I was thinking about this. Kyle, we need, we need to like look up how I want like a spreadsheet of all college NIL money and see like these older players. Did they get paid? Did they get money in that last season? Cause I will, I will forgive them for being a little older. You know what I mean? Right. That's new data. We didn't have that 10 years ago. I know last year, I forget we were looking up and I was really interested because Skataboo was, was like cheeseburgers and what's that restaurant out there in New York? Beer cold beer and cheeseburgers. Yeah. That was like one of his like sponsors that he got a deal from and I was like, Oh, that's interesting. Which cold beer and cheeseburgers. If you're listening. We should. We are very open to sponsorship opportunities very open to that. All right. So both of your products, I can't wait a lot to talk about your products soon. And you're willing to also talk about Jardians is what I'm here. Oh, yeah. One pill a day, Jardians, you two can be a backup running back. Let's start with K-Tron Allen and then we'll move into Singleton because Allen checks. I feel like all the physical boxes that we care about, like height, he's 511, weight 219, he has a good breakout age. All of his production profile stuff is solid and yet you can kind of explain away because Penn State, if Betts was here, would say they were a terrible passing offense last couple of years. So it's basically these two. That was the plan. The year before was Tyler Warren. That was the plan. So I think he has the frame to be an NFL runner. But I wouldn't say, like, I feel overwhelmed by either of their tape to say, like, I'm going to pound the table and say, I want these players. Yeah. My note is met and state, you know, I, you know, yeah, but it's not good. I thought I was pretty bad. No, it's pretty bad. I actually, so I like Nick Singleton. Oh, Nick Singleton is, I like Alan Moore. Yeah. My notes are K-Tron Allen is better than Singleton, but I'm not sure how good he is. So I sure how. Yeah. So my case. And right now, Nick Singleton is my running back three. That's pre NFL draft, but it will one billion percent change because of the foot entry. This is like, this is a respect for film pre NFL combine. But the fact that he broke his foot, I'm sure that's going to hurt his draft capital. It's going to hurt his, his, his rookie availability. Like he, he's not going to be anywhere near that there. But the reason I like Nick Singleton is because you're talking, you just brought it up. It's like, oh, you know, K-Tron was fat, fat man is, you know, five, eleven, two, seventeen. Here we got a six foot, two hundred and twenty four pound running back who catches the ball like crazy. You just talked about having 40 receptions at a season. Nick Singleton did that. When you've got a big monster of a man who can catch the ball, sign me up and, and, you know, I think there's, it's funny. You can have two different people watch the same thing and have different outcomes. I liked Nick Singleton's speed. I thought he was very fast. He will not be fast with a broken foot though. And so he will plummet in my personal rankings and in the NFL draft because of the unfortunate injury. But when I see a player who can go out there and look, 45 rushing touchdowns, that's one of the most translating stats for running backs in going from, from college football to fantasy success in the NFL, plus a hundred receptions at two hundred and twenty pounds. Those are, those just work, that works in the NFL. So that's why I. like Nick Singleton. It wasn't like I watch his tape and was like, man, I love how sexy it is. It's just these things work in the NFL. I mean, Leonard Fortnet, when he was inefficient, he's a big body back who can get them dump truck dump offs. And it works. But he's there's only three running backs who hit those marks. You talked about 45 rushing touchdowns and a hundred receptions, three of them drafted in the last 25 years in the first four rounds. So and I needed to add in this name, Tomarko Murray. That's a fun, fun name. He was awesome. Travis ETN. And then I don't know if you remember this. Oh, I remember a little baby guy. The no pump. Oh, yeah. Oh, man, he was so fun in college. It's like, well, this little tiny guy translate. The answer was no. He was before Penny, right? Yes, he was he was the year he'd run the year, yes, he was the year before we shot Penny. I'll give you a couple of notes for Singleton. Maybe he looks and smells like an NFL running back. But I think he might have already peaked. He's not, I wouldn't call him elusive. Like I do see the speed. But I think he runs real stiff, real stiff hips. He was the number one running back coming out of high school. So like, there's a lot to him that kind of is built into this lore of being the all-time touchdown leader of Penn State. One scout, I'm going to just, they said, I don't know if he can punch above his weight for being a big guy. And I don't know if that you saw that Jason or not. But I think he's, I think he's going to end up being round four or five. And at that point, I don't see enough there to say like, I have to have this. I agree completely in the, in the fact that I think he will be around four or five pick with this injury and that that will, that will mean this is not a guy I have to have. But, you know, like, like you said, he was the number one running back in the nation coming out of high school. And then he goes to college, catches 100 passes, scores 45 rushing touchdowns has the size speed that you want. So, you know, should he surprise and be drafted higher with this injury, then, then I will be in on Nick Singleton. Last little note, I'll say on Alan is I, I liked his vision a lot. He had a insane three-game run at the end of the year against Michigan State, Nebraska Rutgers, where he was just, he was the dude. But his breakaway speed is not there. So I'm not going to like say Alan is one of those players that can just go the distance the way that Singleton can. But my comps for him were at the high end, JK Dobbins, in the medium, it was Damien Pierce, which to me is like the nicest thing I could say about Damien Pierce. So any last notes there, Mike on these guys, I just, I didn't, I didn't love either of them. Yeah, I think Betts would probably be a little bit more glowing about these guys, but definitely not saying like for fantasy. Man, this, this is really sad for me, you know, because this is sad for me on a very personal basis because I was looking at my dynasty team. I was making a trade offer in our main dynasty league to, to your and Jeremy's team. Just a bunch of crap you through. It wasn't a bunch of crap. You guys based on what we need. Sure. Yes. That's fine. Whatever. But that was where I was leading was like, you wanted some running back depth. My team. I've got B-john. You've got EGN and I've got breeze. I feel okay with that. And behind those guys, I don't have a backup with a hope. I don't have a, I don't have a sniff of a fart of a dream. They could, I'm writing so dirty. And I'm like, it's okay. I'll just fill up with with what this year has no running backs coming in that I want. And so it's like, I have to get more depth. And I can't because it doesn't exist. And this is only in the hope that ETN and breeze actually get good contracts this off season as a free agent. So yeah. So I'm a little disappointed that it wasn't like last year's draft class where we had like eight exciting running backs. And I can get a cam scataboo that people are letting fall like dummies. Yeah. This is this is a, it's a pretty, pretty weak class. Let's throw out a couple of just fun names at the end. I'm sure there'll be some names that rise in the process from next couple of weeks. We'll detail those in our risers and followers. So, but Mike, I'm going to let you go first because this is kind of like somebody that behind the scenes. You've whispered. Yeah. You've, you've talked about go for it. It's Adam Randall out of Clemson. I mean, don't hold his name against him. Pretty bad name. Yeah. Adam Randall. It's two first names. So we'll work on it. We'll get in the shop. Adam will get you get you souped up. Get you fixed up with a really good nickname. But he was, so he's a four year player at Clemson. And for most of those four years, he was, in fact, a wide receiver. So that's where he is. So intriguing to me. That's where you get the tingles. Yeah. Because you take a wide receiver. David Johnson, I believe, was a wide receiver. And then he moved and it's, it doesn't work for everyone. Not not everyone can has the skill. Antonio Gibson. Yeah. They don't have the ability to translate and actually move to the position. But but he did okay. You know, 168 carries, 814 yards. That's only 4.8, which guys in college sometimes have really, really mad in like yards per carry. But 4.8 is all right. But the 36 catches this year when he was, he was only the full time running back this, the one year. But he's big. He's six two. He's huge. He's listed as two. Everybody else. Yeah. He's listed as 235. I don't know where, you know, like, will he be, you know, whatever, six, two, two, 30? That's, I mean, that's humongous for a running back. Can he, can he learn the position more, you know, and really, really step into it. He looked like he had pretty decent power for just limited touches as a running back. The balance is great. He's got good speed for his size and the catching is, it's elite. It's, there's plenty of times where you see running backs aren't catching that ball the way that that he was able to and he's gigantic. So he is extremely intriguing to me. I'm not. Those are the type of picks you look for when, when you're, I don't think you'll go early, but when you're getting past the top guys, when you're trying to find a diamond in the rough, you're looking for some of those standout traits. That's exactly what, what you need is, and they had, they gave him a handful of kick returns as well. I'm, I'm with Kyle that, hey, when a, when a coach is saying you need to go return this kick, it's because they know that this is an electric player and you're trying to get a spark and we, we think that you can provide. Yeah, we've seen, you know, it's not so true in the NFL where they're protecting us, but in college, when guys are proficient at kick returns and they're used on special teams with the ball in their hand, that, that does tend to translate. The name I would throw out there, Mike Washington Jr. Hard to be a junior when you went to college for five years, but he did it. He was Arkansas, Adam Randall for four years. So he's a technically a graduate student, 21, 21. Wow. So with the college, yeah, he didn't break out until he was 21, but, but that's why we're talking about them after all these other guys. But Mike Washington, over a thousand yards for Arkansas, also caught the ball. So another bigger back six, two, two, 28 catches the ball was, Arkansas's leading Russia. He's not 21. This is 20. He's 24. Oh, who was it? He's like an uncle. Who was the RJ Harvey? RJ Harvey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but I, he did, I think he looked good at the senior bowl is one of those names that's worth monitoring right now as well. Yeah, he's kind of getting close to top 100 buzz right now. So he's in the mix. I'll mention Demon Clayborn out of Wake Forest 510 195. You like him? He's fun. He is a fun player. He's the look. He's a version of James Cook. Yeah, he is a little bitty, baby boy. He is. You like that note? I like the note, but I don't know what it means. There you go. So similar in size in terms of how they're used on outside stuff. I don't know if people remember James Cook because I'm from Georgia. He was not even like the best running back on his team. And he was drafting the second round. He was actually kind of random that he ended up being a second round pick. And then we know what James Cook is now. But Clayborn's smaller and by LeCroix, I mean, like, he's like the diet version. He could be like 75. That would be more sense. Yeah, the diet version of the new way of well. And we're watching our our artificial sweeteners. Okay, there we go. The show is, I mean, as we know, we are a drug company right advertising show now. Jardines is going to help with your meal at cold beer and cheeseburgers. I I don't know of Clayborn. Like he feels like he's boom bust. He has the kick return stuff. He has the production profile. He also had the highest percentage of negative plays, according to sports info solutions of any player in this running back class. I do have a note of like when you look at his the production of the season, like it's fine. It's that's good. That's solid. And then but you have games as he had a 23 carries. for 72 yards against SMU, 25 carries for 75 yards against. Sounds like he can handle a workload. I eat when you write, but in college, you're getting 25 carries. And you end up with 75 rushing yards, like that's, that's not good. Yeah, he's propped. I mean, he's going to be a day three guy. Just another interesting name to throw out there. We have other names that if you want to look in all of our production profiles, all that you can find those in the UDK plus or dynasty pass. I think we did a pretty good job summing up this class. Yeah, I think I think we had some variation post combine. We'll, we'll go deeper and, and we'll watch these guys again and again and develop our opinions deeper. This is a nice entry into this draft class that is, you know, it's, it's a top heavy of one and then a couple of hopefuls. Yeah, that's going to do it for this episode next week. We will be back talking quarterbacks, talking tight ends. We'll see you then. Goodbye. Thanks for listening to the fantasy footballers dynasty podcast.
