00:00So let's have this conversation here. We'll start with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:03It's Caleb Johnson. He's RB27 going at ADP68. Or Jalen Warren, RB32 at ADP85. I remember you
00:12talking up Warren last year. It kind of didn't come to fruition for me, but is this the year?
00:18Well, I thought Jalen Warren could finally, in his third year, have a little bit of a breakout
00:22and see more receptions. And also, I was bullish because I thought we would get a little bit more,
00:26you know, Justin Fields throughout the year, but we did not. Unfortunately, we got more Russell
00:30Wilson. And that's not what I wanted necessarily. But, you know, I think with Jalen Warren, again,
00:35the industry has always been way more in love with Jalen Warren than I have. I thought maybe
00:40from PPR back standpoint, because somebody, maybe we can finally see him take a forward
00:44step with Najee Harris, maybe starting to get phased out a little bit, but that did not happen.
00:47And Warren missed time again. And now it's three straight years where he hasn't finished
00:52as an RB2, not even finished as an RB2. So I'm going to take the rookie Caleb Johnson,
00:56even though he costs a little bit more. I think the identity of this team is, you know,
01:01run the football early, put Aaron Rodgers in some good third and short situations to make some good
01:06quick passes there. And that's always been the Steelers, right? Run the football, play defense.
01:10It's cold. It's Pittsburgh. It's tough. It's the steel curtain, all that identity politics there.
01:15But also Caleb Johnson looks to be the goal line back there too. And Aaron Rodgers is not a big
01:19mobile quarterback. All right. So we're looking at Caleb Johnson down at the goal line being the
01:23smashing guy. And if he's the smashing machine, that's the guy that I want. I want the touchdowns.
01:28I'll pay the ADP for Caleb Johnson. Because again, Jalen Warren showed us health is a perennial issue
01:33for him. It's ever present. And in terms of the productivity just has not been there. So the fact
01:38that people want to draft him where they do right now is kind of, I think it's a little absurd to me,
01:43to be honest with you, because Jalen Warren still is not necessarily, I think, the guy who is going
01:51to be someone you can count on in any sort of weekly fashion. He'll get his carries. He'll get
01:56his targets. He'll get a few of them. But I think the big impact touches are going to come from Caleb
02:01Johnson in this Pittsburgh Steeler offense. Great insight from Joe P. The takeaway there for me,
02:06Caleb Johnson at the goal line. And there's a 17 pick difference here between those two running
02:11backs. Let's move to the Denver Broncos. They have what I believe to be an elite offensive line.
02:16And now we have two running backs that have a 60 pick difference. RJ Harvey, RB 21, ADP of 55.
02:23Or do you prefer the more tenured JK Dobbins, RB 40 at ADP 115? Joe, what to do here?
02:31Well, I'm definitely, you know, it's funny. I did not love this JK Dobbins signing when it happened to
02:35give me pause about RJ Harvey. But I will say this, RJ Harvey might be the joker in this
02:41offense. Now that joker role of Sean Payton, that's something we've seen Jimmy Graham do and
02:45be incredibly successful. It's seen Alvin Kamara do it sometimes, right? And you see how big of a star
02:50he was in fantasy. So if RJ Harvey does get this role over Evan Ingram, because originally that was
02:56the thought process that Ingram could be the joker, but now it might be RJ Harvey. That's the horse of
03:02a different color. He is expensive. Again, the 21st running back off the board, almost a top 50 player.
03:07But I think you go ahead and you take RJ Harvey because the upside there potentially is Hughes
03:11and the draft capital was very large too. And I think it can only help Bo Nix. And we all know
03:16Bo Nix is not a guy who's going to be throwing the ball deep a lot. So that also helps RJ Harvey
03:21and his fantasy value. So I will pay the more expensive again here.
