FFT Express - Dave Richard's 2026 All-Bust Team! 8 Fantasy Football Players to AVOID! (08/26 Fantasy Football Advice)

And we've got Dave's all bus team right now on FFT Express Welcome everybody to the show just a real quick News item here the Packers Is there GM Brian Duton curse, right? Duton. Duton. Duton. Duton. Duton. Duton. Duton. Duton. Duton. Duton. Duton. Duton. Duton. Duton. Right. Yeah. He was talking about He was asked about the Josh Jacob situation and he said They have they have prepared they've been preparing in case in case he's suspended for the possibility of him being suspended. It really wasn't anything too earth shattering, but I guess it does mean that They do think there is a possibility of him getting suspended. Anyway, let's get to Dave's all bus team. Who's the quarterback? The quarterback is Jackson Dart. I disagree with him being a top 100 pick. I think we can do better at the quarterback spot than the second year man who scored nine touchdowns on the ground. I don't think he does that if he plays the full season. This is a giant steam that certainly looks like they want to run the ball a lot and that's even with mullig neighbors coming back even with the addition of Isaiah likely just every indication. Look at that running back depth chart. Look at the moves they made in the draft on the offensive line. They want to be able to be physical up front. It's just something that John Harbaugh has long been about Greg Roman will certainly co-sign on that as the run game coordinator and they have really been trying to teach Jackson Dart not to run. They don't want him to run anymore. So I get nervous about banking on him hitting his upside. If he's not going to run, if he's not going to score a bunch of rushing touchdowns, he's going to need to have an outstanding year throwing the football. His ADP is five picks before 100th overall. I look at him honestly at him as like a round 11 pick. I'm not excited about Dart. Yeah, I think a lot of people share that sentiment looking at NFC average half position over the last five days is going a hundred and 29th overall. So how about a running back to running backs? You're starting running backs here. Well, let's give an honorable mention to Christian McCaffrey who coming off a 450 touch season season age 30 missed a bunch of camp already with undisclosed tightness. I'm nervous about taking him at his ADP, which is top six overall. But Breeze Hall, I'm equally nervous about and he's going a full round ahead of where I would take him. I look at him as a round four and honestly more of a late round four pick. I know there's all this talk about him being the bell cow, but he was the bell cow last year, 17.4 touches per game, 13 PPR points. And that was with Braille and Allen missing most of the year. Now Braille and Allen is healthy. Isaiah Davis is working his way back. I think Davis will work on most of the passing downs. Hall taking the majority of the rushing downs, but Allen could swipe a few of those high leverage touches near the goal line. That wouldn't make me nervous. I'm just nervous overall about the Jets who by the way have been bottom five and points scored six of the last seven seasons. Frank Reich is a nice guy, but I don't think he's the one that can turn that around. I'm letting other people take Breeze Hall and going back to the Giants. I'm going to let other people take Camp Scataboo as well as ADP is top 40. I just watched a practice where he was splitting first team reps with Tyrone Tracy and Devon Singletary. And now here comes Najee Harris who actually looked pretty good in limited second team reps. This is against the Dolphins. They were down in Miami for a joint practice. And now Najee is starting to work his way into the first team offense. And I wonder if we're going to see a world where Scataboo and Najee are splitting rushing downs work. And I don't know if that guarantees that Scataboo is going to come anywhere close to where he was last year. Let's not forget about him coming back from an injury. I don't know if he's quite as explosive as he was. In fact, John Harbaugh said that he's working his way back there. It is too rich for my blood to take him as a top 40 pick. I would take him in the late round five and I can no longer subscribe to the idea of, oh yeah, you'll feel safe if you take Scataboo and then Tyrone Tracy. I don't know if Tracy is that running back anymore. No. I took him 50 second overall in our 14 team podcast league draft. Yeah. I'll give you the guys that went after him. Would you take Tudon, Montgomery, a price ahead of Scataboo? Let me double check my rankings. I had my wide receivers pulled up. I'm going right to it now. I have got Scataboo ahead of Montgomery ahead of Tudon and just ahead of price. So he is right there. In fact, my rankings as of right now, Scataboo price Montgomery Tudon. Okay. Running backs 22 through 25. Yeah. It was my least favorite pick for what it's worth. Let's take a break and get Dave's wide receivers tight end and flex after this. I'm going to talk to you right now about Omaha stakes. And this is a perfect time for me to do it because just last night, I cooked four Omaha stakes for my family and they were awesome and we completely devoured them.

I don't have a wide receiver that I'm looking at and saying, oh, yes, stay away from him. Not even some guys that I had earlier in the off season like Z. Flowers, Jameson Williams, Devote Adams was on my bus list once upon a time. I don't have those guys on my bus list anymore. I like their ADPs. I like where they're going in drafts. And so I'm okay with it, but I am not okay with car and I'll take going in the beginning of round seven. And that's a fall because he was going in round six. It doesn't have much to do with Tate is everything to do with what we've seen both in preseason games and in joint practices for the Titans. I am nervous about how this team is going to operate. Cam Ward doesn't look like he's taking that step forward. Maybe in time he does, but it's not just Ward. It's also the offensive line. I've got questions about the run game. I don't know if I feel really good about anybody in the Tennessee offense. I think I'm okay with Wondale Robinson and full PPR because that's a role that I think he's just got locked down. He knows it well. It's in the table offense should be north of seven targets per game. Just won't do a ton on those targets. And I think Tate could just really struggle this year. I've got him closer to round nine than I do round seven. DK Metcalf is the other wide receiver. I think the the Steelers rather added a bunch of good options for reason. Michael Pittman, Jeremy Bernard in the draft and now Roman Wilson has stepped up in training camp. These are all guys that I think are going to make those short easy throws for Aaron Rogers. More manageable rather than checking down to the running back like he did last year. And I think it's just going to continue to put a lid on DK Metcalf's volume and upside. He's being drafted right now in round seven. He's in that round eight, late round eight, frankly for me too, a wide receiver. Not big names, but two guys that I'm avoiding from that wide receiver blob when you get to round six plus. Yeah, again, if you ever see DK Metcalf on one of my fantasy teams, please send help. Somebody else made that pick. I bet you would take him if he was at a hundredth overall. Yeah, I would. That's good value. That's why I'd take him. Although, let's say, who went like a hundredth overall? That would be Dejon Stribling 97 step on digs 95. I take him over Debo Samuel. I would take him over Debo. In my rankings, he's really close to allow those guys, but I think I'm going to move him down even more because I like the upside of, I don't know if I love the upside of digs, but certainly conception, Matthew Golden, those guys should be ahead of Metcalf for me. I'm going to make that change. Okay. Let's get your tight end here on the all bus team. It's Kyle Pits, and it's really not that far off of ADP. I just disagree with him being tight and seven. He's my tight and nine. If Tua was going to be the quarterback for a good chunk of the year, I'd feel a lot better about Kyle Pits, but it's going to be Penex. And I think Penex is more of a downfield thrower, not a check down guy. Not somebody who's going to look for short targets. And it makes me a little more nervous about Kyle Pits returning value. Let me remind everybody, there was a five games stretch last year where Kyle Pits was awesome. It was like 20 PPR points per game. If you want the actual number, I'll bring it up and tell you, but he was getting huge target volume because Drake London wasn't there. And that's what carried his overall 20, 25 PPR point per game average north of 12. Yeah, it was 19 PPR points per game in five games without Drake London in 12 games with Drake London. Most of them with Michael Penex a quarterback, he averaged 9.6 PPR points, 5.2, 9 PPR points, 6.2 targets per game. I get it. It's a different offense and Safansky's there and Safansky's utilized the tie-down and all that. That's great. Maybe he can be a little bit better than 9.6 PPR points per game. Frankly, he should be if I'm taking him as my tie-down nine, but I hate the idea of reaching for Pits and expecting this huge year for him. Not somebody that I'm trying to get on my fantasy team. Isaiah, likely I'd rather have. Okay. So far, we have, you really don't like the giants. Jackson Darden came Scatiboo. I like likely. That's right. You do like likely. You have Darden Scatiboo on the bus team. You have Breeze Hall, Cornell Tate, DK Metcalf and Kyle Pits. We need our flex. Adam is Trevian Henderson, still the most misprice player in fantasy at 59th in ADP. That's yeah, I still think that's too early. I do too. But now with the injury like I wonder. Okay. If he goes 69th, is he mispriced? Yeah. Yes. I mean, getting close, but yeah, I mean, if he goes 79th, it's a bit of price. No, I think that's okay. I'm with you. I think once he gets 79th, I think that's okay. But that's around seven and he's going in round five and everybody's doing it based on second year running back Patriots offense should be better. Remind Ray Stevenson has had all the headlines, all the good vibes coming out of Foxboro this summer. And it makes me really nervous about the pathway for Trayvon Henderson to be impactful for fantasy view. I think he needs to have Remind Ray Miss games. And if that happens, then Trayvon's going to get a chance. But otherwise, I don't know. I think I think we could see Remind Ray Stevenson actually be better than he was last year saved for those last three games of 2025 when he was a monster. Because before those games, he really wasn't that awesome for fantasy. Now, now I think he will be and I think he's going to get used more as a red zone weapon in the passing game. So Remind Ray Stevenson, ahead of Trayvon Henderson, two years ago, if you had told me that I'd have Remind Ray over Trevon in my rankings, I would have told you that you went to some weird alternate universe and there was like a skinny version of me that was eating salad every day going, yeah, sure, but no, I have to believe it now based on what we're seeing and hearing out of New England. I really needed some salad, man. You and I had some yesterday. I needed some in the worst way. I was on the road for like five straight days and three of those days were Las Vegas. Yeah, things just went south for me. That's what happens when I go to Florida, you know, with my family, we got dinner. I see my friends. I need a salad in the worst way. Yeah. And then you make all these terrible decisions at the dinner table and then you make a bad decision on draft day and you take Trevon Henderson in round five and we're just all in round three and Kyle Pits in round six and yep. So he's just total catastrophe. So stay on your diet and say smart on draft day. Yeah, we tied it all together. Thanks for watching and listening everybody. We'll talk to you later on Fantasy Football Today. Exit.
