Intro in this video I'll give you the highest risk highest reward running backs at Target in 2024 fantasy redraft leagues I'm Jim Coventry of Roa wire let's start Jonathan Taylor out with Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts remember in 2021 Taylor rushes for 1811 yards and 18 touch-ups adds another 360 yards and two scores through the air that is the incredible upside that Jonathan Taylor possesses that offensive line is still very good in Indianapolis also Taylor could benefit from Anthony Richardson being the quarterback talk about it all the time RPO from the lethal running quarterback defenses often against Taylor in the past could really go downhill they could stack boxes or play lighter boxes and just get after him knowing he was the threat to stop now if Richardson is using rpos the linebackers are going to be in a very uncertain status does Richardson Run does Taylor run or does Richardson pull the ball back and take advantage and throw over the top those defenses are going to be conflicted and if you give Jonathan Taylor a nanc of hesitation by defense he is an elite level Runner that could match those numbers from last year and even though Taylor had an injury plagued 2023 played 10 games he was 71st percenti broken tackle rate 84th percentile in yards after contact now he didn't play many snaps because of the weird season with contract problem ankle problem 40 snaps only five times and he only hit 50 snaps once so that was a problem but this year he Jonathan Taylor should see a much heavier workload Trey Surman and Evan Hull are behind him on the depth chart realistically they're probably not going to command a lot of snaps now the risk the M time and again A lot of it was the ankle injury of two years ago Taylor played 11 games in 2022 he played 10 games last year he had a late season injury on surgery to his hand so that's a lot of his time and that's the gamble with running backs running backs are obviously the highest impact position in terms of taking hits with that comes injuries so Jonathan Taylor has a massive ceiling but also now we've seen injury concerns that make it very nerve-wracking to draft him De’Von Achane Devon achan is next of the Miami Dolphins highrisk High reward we know the reward weeks two through four last year 51 27 23 PP points in those three games in those three games aan averaged 12.6 yards per carry he also was very active as a receiver in those games eight catches 63 yards two touchdowns through the air on the ground he had five more scores it was a thing of beauty and everybody knew Devon aan could light up fantasy football scoreboards like very few could and then aan got injured missed five or six games between week six and 12 when he comes back the Dolphins offense have been largely figured out the last seven games includes that NFL playoff game aan 4.97 yards per carry now that's good but that's Raheem moer that's about the same as moer gets one touchdown in the last six games those are fluky you can't predict touchdowns week to week I get it but again it was a very different Devon hent at the end of the season but now the other number people will look at the Ys per carrier for the season it was well over seven Hey Barry Sanders couldn't sniff that so people see that seven plus yards per carry this is the running back we have Mike McDaniels a genius coach people are seeing the upside case I think the downside case is 5918 most start's there Jaylen Wright gets drafted other running backs in the room even Chris Brooks is there all that said probably going to see a limited workload that 4.97 yards per carry in the last seven games may be closer to the reality think about it how many running backs ever hit seven yards per carry good luck finding that right so all that said hen maybe he is that guy maybe he is that guy that rush for seven yards per carry and if he is you've got the highest upside but if he's a 4.97 unlimited work you got the risk if you

next and it's really hard to argue the upside in 12 games Kiren Williams 1144 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns I know he crushed Arizona for a lot of those but he was very good when he was the starting running back in lineup and he was seeing work from week one he last year he was switching with ham Acres from week one and successful so Kiron Williams was amazing now here's the big problem the risk injuries as a rookie Kyon Williams Miss seven games and remember kyen Williams they were trying to fit him into that lineup in the second half of the season and he was not very good so he didn't earn much playing time at all last year he missed five games and don't forget he broke his hand in the NFC playoff game fortunately it wasn't a regular season game where you'd Miss more time but it was you know offseason from at so you didn't miss time but that injury is part of the equation the other thing is John McVey genius gets puka nakua to a rookie record level Demarcus Robinson as soon as he was inserted into the three receiver set weekly fantasy factor for his whole career not a fantasy Factor Kyon Williams as we said almost 100 scrimmage yards per game think back a few years ago Cooper cup 1900 yard Superman season Shawn McVey is a genius but Shawn McVey knows that Kiron Williams is not durable and they drafted Blake corm with a high pick Blake corm may be more talented than Kiren Williams and I don't think that's a stretch so in the effort to preserve Williams and also if korm is that much better this is going to be a split backfield Williams was the guy last year and if corm is significantly better maybe even the touches flip in his manner so if kyn Williams rain his role and stays healthy Elite upside but there is a lot of risk as well the last one Rashad white of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers nobody argues that Rachaad White Rashad White had a phenomenal fantasy season 990 yards and six touchdowns on the ground that's not even it 549 and3 more touchdowns through the air that was a fantasy season and you got him laid in drafts this year he's going obviously much higher here's the thing volume is King in fantasy football last year Sean Tucker got a chance did nothing Chase Edmonds did very little they draft Bucky Irving now his draft profile wasn't very good and college he was productive what are we getting out of him that we don't know a bet on Rashad white if you want the high reward is that he is going to get last year's volume and if he gets that volume he may only break tackles at a 26 percentile rate he may only gain yards at a 33rd percentile rate after contact but he's a great receiver and if he gets 336 touches again he is going to be an rb1 no questions end the story flip side there is no NFL team that wants to give a running back that's not built like one of the big Bell cow backs 336 yards I mean sorry 336 touches in a season and to do it two years in a row not so much so if Bucky Irving or somebody else is decent Rashad white is GNA probably lose 150 touches off the top because he is not a great player he's volume driven so if you're betting on Rashad white you're betting that he retains the volume if you don't think he's going to get that volume he is going to crush downward his ADP and not be very valuable
