Kyler Murray‘s Rushing Potential 27:04

• There are concerns about Kyler Murray‘s rushing ability after returning from an ACL injury.
• Historical data suggests a dip in rushing for quarterbacks returning from ACL injuries.
• However, previous cases mostly involved quarterbacks who were not known for their mobility.
• Deshaun Watson‘s example stands out as a mobile quarterback who returned to rushing after recovery.
• It is expected that Murray will still utilize his rushing ability upon his return.

“And I think that when Kyler Murray is added to this, there’s going to be a massive shift”

Kyler Murray and Marquise Brown 28:01

• Murray is expected to excel in the designed runs for him in the system, making him a hopeful stash for fantasy teams.
• If Murray performs well upon his return, Hollywood Brown is likely to be his top target.
• Brown has the potential to be a top 20 wide receiver for the rest of the season.

“I think Kyler is gonna be good and if that’s true if Kyler is good as he’s always been when he’s on the field then Hollywood Brown is his number one target is a great acquisition and should be really a top for sure a top 20 wide receiver the rest of the season once Kyler is back.”

Tee Higgins 28:38

• Despite Higgins’ poor performance earlier in the season, he has the advantage of the sixth easiest schedule for wide receivers in the second half.
• With extra time off during the bye week, Higgins has the potential to bounce back and become a valuable fantasy asset.
• His fantasy playoff schedule includes favorable matchups against Minnesota and Pittsburgh, which have struggled defensively.
• Team owners may undervalue Higgins, making him a potential buy-low candidate.

“So to me T Higgins is that player that sticks out is you know as a guy that doesn’t necessarily love the wide receiver two options and fantasy he’s one of those guys you need to pick up and you’re going to be very happy.”

Rookie Sleepers – JSN and Tyjae Spears 31:30

• JSN, although underperforming, should not be dropped as rookie players often come alive in the second half of the season.
• If the Seahawks’ starting quarterback continues to disappoint, JSN could step in and provide production.
• Tajé Spears, a rookie running back for the Tennessee Titans, has shown potential with his involvement in the passing game and impressive athleticism.
• With the possibility of Derrick Henry being traded, Tajé Spears could see increased opportunity and become a relevant fantasy option.

“I’ll throw a fat Thor out there we’re talking Josh Jacobs you know they eventually got into shape in the movie I will not yeah that’s true that’s not my argument but that’s true.”

Derrick Henry‘s Performance 36:27

• Derek Henry has had two poor performances against the Titans in the playoffs.

Choice Between Deontay Foreman and Rashad White 44:05

• Choosing between Deontay Foreman and Rashad White depends on the matchup and situation.
• In this specific comparison, Rashad White might be the better choice due to the Bills’ weak rushing defense.

“No, no, I don’t think so. He’s been very good but you won’t always get it right.” 49:41 “To me, Kirk Cousins is a must-start until the system changes.” 52:19

Trading for Jahmyr Gibbs 52:39
