00:00Well, Devon Achan, I think has got to be one of the absolute lottery tickets this year,

00:07right?

00:08I mean, the speed is off the charts.

00:09The size is a little concerning.

00:10Now, he did put some muscle on, so that's encouraging.

00:14But sometimes some of that extra muscle can lead to even more sprains and strains and

00:18issues too.

00:19I just actually had one of the doctors on my show too, to break down some of those pieces

00:24about Achan.

00:25And what he said was, look, you have to understand that even if he has the muscle, even if he

00:29has all this, the style of running and his size, he's going to miss some time.

00:34So you have to get him at the right ADP.

00:36He's currently going as a top 10 running back, right in that range is still Derrick Henry.

00:40So Henry's still a player for me that I just can't say no to at that same range.

00:45And as exciting as Achan is, I think that at the same time, you have to realize there

00:49isn't a normal risk now on that same Dolphins team, Jalen Waddle, another guy came in as

00:54a rookie at a hundred catches, had 1300 yards two years ago, last year gets hurt.

00:58Now all of a sudden he's been banished to that middle of wide receiver too.

01:01I don't understand it.

01:02I don't get it.

01:03Jalen Waddle is still that dude is still an incredible talent.

01:06That offense is incredibly efficient.

01:07So I'm not concerned at all.

01:09And then looking on the other side too, that Falcons team, look, Bijan Robinson, I think

01:13is prepared now and in a situation with a new coaching staff to really emerge and challenge

01:17for that number one, overall RB spot, especially after CMC had 417 touches last year, which

01:23is an enormous amount that typically people do not do well the following season after

01:28that sort of workload.

01:30And that has been proven time and time again.

01:33You're excited about Kyle Pitts, you're excited about Drake London, what Kirk Cousins can

01:37bring to this offense and then ancillary pieces like Darnell Mooney are still interesting.

01:40But in this game in particular, you know, what we're looking for is guys to get healthy

01:44guys to stay healthy out of it who are participating today.

01:47But Jalen Waddle right now on the Dolphins to me is that guy that I just keep seeing

01:51falling in drafts.

01:53He's being undervalued, I think, and is actually to the detriment of a lot of people out there.

01:56So scoop him up in your fantasy leagues because he is going to be a good return on investment.
