" What are what I'm Randy Sparage of course is Mike Harmon welcome to the -- I think that brought you by -- Fantasy football headquarters. It's draft season. What position by position so that you fully prepared on draft and Mike let's talk. Running back flops and -- favorite topic I -- I know how much you love doing this what we're going to start number five you say stay away from Thomas Jones of the Jets team presents a possible."
" Value pick on the board but there are some questions about. In as we get going and an -- guy who's been in the league for quite awhile so we'll get a lot of tread on the tires a lot of 300 carry seasons under his belt he got a youngster and Shawn Green just chomping at the bit the rookie out of Iowa ready -- and it was carries Jones. Expressed displeasure about his contract years ago I was looking at possibly be traded to look like that's going to happen as we wind down. Hot it was a regular season but he's got and I think he's going to start seeing the youngsters eating into his cares now much here last year. Fifteen touchdowns goes over a thousand yards again but I think we're gonna start seeing more this went back to the numbers the poster girl for him -- continue to count down. Number of for a guy who always seems to get hurt Willis McGahee one of those guys runs hard to Justin Fargas -- you could get some good mileage out of for a while eventually going to run of the wall and -- Garros in coming off of an arthroscopic surgery this off season he got Ray Rice second year guy out of Rutgers. Phenomenal back BD to the outside and also got to catch the ball on -- backfield. As we know as of now the Ravens haven't really upgraded the wide receiver corps so Ray Rice his ability to catch the ball. Out of the backfield swing and an out is going to be huge for Joe Flacco so I think he gives you rice take the lead -- back. At number three a bit of a surprise Clinton Portis or another guy just got to start worrying about wearing down we talk about. Age we talk about durability and he's got it. You're asking your piles up carries and I know I'm getting a cross eyed looks from some of our production staff were big Redskins Packers and we made. Gets -- hate mails from them. But the bottom line is gadgets work very hard to solve -- your first half of the season dominant but towards the second half numbers weren't there. Teamed up a bit and I think we've seen some monster numbers from him question is will -- result touchdowns issue wash it -- that's the question. Well back in February the Giants put that franchise tag. Brandon Jacobs wouldn't say. Stay away while he's he's the -- potential so I'm not -- say the guys is gonna fall down. After you know not giving him you know I'd seen the Brett Favre -- on -- Michael Strahan thing here but what we're talking with Brian -- is a guy who now that. Passing game has gone through its growing pains right Plaxico Burress it's going to jail and you haven't really seen any of these other young receivers step up got a guy Jacobs who runs hard. Run straight up into the line. And gets hurt. Quite a bit and a big question here is you may -- a thousand yards but you may seem for ten or eleven games you're gonna have to back him up with where -- Bradshaw and other backs and whenever we start getting into a situation where you know at some point you're going to have a lengthy absence of -- that nerves. Following your number one falls Spurs flop. Bryant Westbrook at the Eagles are one -- seven iron to do with Michael Vick committed to them I don't think it's really about -- and and you will see some of the play calling. Tailored to get -- mall but we're talking about a guy who's perennially injured. Coming off an off season surgery. Which leaves you a little bit nervous to bring in a guy named -- on McCoy and the fact that his nickname -- means I would pulp and every opportunity act yet. But the fact of the matter is Westbrook one of those guys week after week to see him on the injury report he battled through when he puts up big numbers which got a question. Whether all of those injuries over the years you talk about ankle -- my -- talk about how we can basically throw the great up -- body just throw a dart at it. The fact of the matter is he's always hurt and eventually that's going to break down and I think you can see more McCord as this year goes down some big."
" Names on your flop list probably going to pick up thirtieth round guy hey yeah -- not going to give -- feel we want from -- We -- do what you do we don't work that you do that's going to do it for that -- that shouldn't as the fourth. Brett -- my -- your fantasy football headquarters. And don't forget foxsports.com as your one stop shop for fantasy news updates and analysis for the swallowed -- How many Sparage thanks look at.
