00:00let's dive into the baltimore ravens where lamar jackson is back once again for another season he's

00:04got a running mate as we know and derrick henry that they picked up last year and we're going to

00:09get to him in just a minute but let's start off with lamar jackson who threw for over 4 000 yards

00:14last season and that big number that you're going to see right there george 915 rushing yards 44

00:22total touchdowns for lamar jackson who you know obviously this is a game-breaking player

00:29he's the one that every week in fantasy football when you're playing you're feeling good about

00:34winning and when you're playing against them you're like oh no you're just hoping for like a 25 spot

00:39against you uh i mean look this is a big year i mean every year is a big year for the ravens but

00:43man do they need to get to the super bowl this year george right like this has got to happen

00:48that's that's all that matters for the ravens right and for the buffalo bills as well by the way and

00:52they play each other week one that's all that matters either getting to the bowl or the season

00:55doesn't matter it's sort of like the yankees when you think about it you got to get to the i guess

00:59at least the league championship series or season doesn't matter because we know you can do this

01:02we know the ravens can get to the uh divisional round here but can they get you know can they win

01:06the big game they probably that game against buffalo hey probably should have gone over time

01:10mark and just dropped the ball what are you going to do here uh i mentioned uh lamar jackson i mean

01:15listen you want to take josh allen one fine but he's no worse than two for me you want to take

01:19lamar jackson one i'm good with that too in a home league i have my brother has the first pick i have the

01:24second pick it is a super flex league with six points for a touchdown pass and my brother's taking

01:29alan jackson i'm taking the other so i i asked him the other day so which one you're taking the guy

01:33won't tell me i don't know why that's not gonna change my thinking i just want one or the other

01:36here they're both going to be great here no issues with lamar jackson not the regular season we'll see

01:41what he can do in the playoffs i think the key for lamar jackson's success that he had last year

01:47was the ravens making the shrewd move of adding the guy that you wanted the cowboys to get george last year

01:52and derrick henry talk about one of the most valuable players at his position based on adp of

01:57here george derrick henry not only gave you vintage derrick henry the guy was as good as any season he's

02:04ever been on now the knock on henry every year is valid he's not going to catch passes out of the

02:10backfield so all of your fantasy points are going to come from rushing yards and rushing touchdowns but

02:16that was plenty good enough to be one of the top running backs in fantasy and he's being drafted like

02:21it again this year at rb4 justice hill is his backup he's back for another season but he's being very

02:28much challenged by this kid keaton mitchell who's looked fantastic in training camp and in the

02:33preseason as well and so for those of you who were into the handcuff thing as they say where you draft

02:39the running back and then you make sure you got his backup i feel like keaton mitchell may be the guy

02:43to get behind henry because he looks like the better guy i agree with you also you could probably get

02:48keaton mitchell a round or two later too right so i think that would also lead me to mitchell uh the

02:53fresher legs thing and all comes to the play here as well uh derrick henry i have no issues with

02:57henry all right i was hoping to get him uh in the draft i just had i had the 10th pick here he went

03:02i think it's seven overall something like that so he went before me here so i had no chances here

03:06but uh no issue with henry he's going to get double digit touchdowns here yeah he's more valuable than

03:10in a standard league than i have point ppr or ppr that's just the way it is we know that going in

03:15you know what i don't care the rushing yards going to be there with touchdowns are going to be there

03:18just stay healthy uh the king will put up massive points at wide receiver the ravens kind of have two

03:25wide receiver twos if that's fair zay flowers who always has the potential to be a one but kind of

03:31you know got hurt slowed down at the end of the year and all of a sudden rashad bateman came alive at

03:35the end of the year i think that's why he's being drafted a potential flex or rb3 mark andrews a

03:41perplexing season to say the least absolutely nothing in fantasy for over a month and then

03:47all of a sudden picked it up and then had that drop at the end of the season that no one thought

03:51he'd be back he's back yet again for the ravens isaiah likely is there as well he'll get playing time

03:56and they brought in the andre hopkins george for what i think is a swan song i don't think he'll factor

04:02much into their equation this year no listen don't draft hopkins he's not early okay you know that's

04:07you got different name there and that name is just not worth much anymore he's a late uh late pick

04:11i mentioned that uh league i'm in right now when the late sixth round hopkins has not been drafted

04:15andrews has not been drafted bateman has not been drafted yet i got flowers i think in round four

04:20for what it's worth here uh for my wide receiver two uh this is what it is this office is built around

04:26lamar you know and it's built around henry you know the wide receiver is sort of an afterthought

04:30there same thing with the tight end if you're thinking about andrews and all the numbers he put up last

04:34year remember they were touchdown heavy he got caught a lot of touchdowns the second half of the season

04:37tuck the bank on that again likely is a more athletic andrews he is coming to the season

04:42banged up though so keep that in mind here andrews would be a tight end 10 tight end 11 you can wait

04:47you know he's not if craig grabs if i'm a league with craig craig grabs grabs andrews i'm not like

04:51oh damn all right good good luck craig i'll grab somebody else not someone you really need at this

04:55point in his career
