Fantasy football - Top-12 RB rankings for dynasty

Video Transcript
Justin, we're gonna quickly rank these guys, uh for dynasty here.
I think we'll be in agreement that Ashton Gentry's #1, Amarian Hampton, based on what you said earlier, I'm guessing is gonna be your #2.
How do we order the rest of these guys?
The third running back is Trayvon Henderson.
Henderson's pretty straightforward, right?
I love the game-breaking speed.
I love the pass-catching ability, and like I said earlier, I think he is going to thrive as a pass catcher in that offense.
That's where he's gonna make his hay.
Next, and we have to put a huge asterisk next to this one.
It is still Quinshaw Judkins.
He is the guy with the talent who would be my #2 back in.
Although, personally right now, probably just taking him off my draft board entirely and not drafting him anywhere.
Then RJ Harvey, I think like we talked about, he might have a slower start, but eventually he will take over and he's going to be a pretty good back for fantasy.
Caleb Johnson, I just think he's a great value compared to the other running backs above him.
Not going to be the guy that's gonna win you your league, but could come in, and in the spots I've taken him, I'm looking at him as like an RB3 or a flex on my teams.
The next guy for me, like we said, it's two together, it's Scattibo, and it's Tin.
Scattibo, I think there's a chance he could take that job.
I don't necessarily think that's gonna happen.
I think it's gonna end up being a committee.
And then Tootin, he is such an explosive player.
That's a backfield, again, another one that's kind of looking for that guy to step up.
And then it's actually Jerquez Hunter on the Rams, and he's a guy who is very explosive.
He brings something that I think the other backs in that Rams backfield don't.
Then we go to Jayden Blue, like I said, not sure he's ever going to be the lead back, but certainly, you know, intriguing this year.
Could he end up carving out a role?
I think he will.
I think it's just gonna be a committee there though.
After that, we're gonna go to Dylan Sampson, and we talked about him.
I guess we could put an asterisk next to his name as well because depending what happens with Judkins, Samson could really vault up this list a few spots.
Then I'm gonna go to Berard Smith on the Chiefs, and now we're getting into an area where I don't think he's ever going to be the lead back, but it really sounds like Andy Reid has a plan for him, wants to use him in the passing game.
so we could see Brochard Smith give us some value this year.
If it does happen, it's not gonna be as an RB1 or probably even an RB2.
It's gonna be more of a flex play, but where you get him, if he returns flex value this year, that is gonna be great.

Yankees 2025 MLB trade deadline buzz: New York sees Ryan McMahon as backup plan to Eugenio Suarez
Here's the latest Yankees news and buzz ahead of the July 31 MLB trade deadline... July 23, 11:45 p.m. As the Yankees continue to search for a potential new third baseman, the team's ranking of preferred candidates has reportedly been determined. According to Mark Feinsand, the Yankees are interested in Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon. However, the team sees McMahon as a backup plan to trying to trade for Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez. Suarez is the hottest hitter this trade deadline and the Yankees are just one of many teams inquiring about him, so the price tag may be too high for New York. YES Network's Jack Curry spoke about the Yankees' thoughts on the thirdbase market and poured some cold water on the names the team has been attached to. "The vibe I'm getting from the Yankees, they do not have a lot of exuberance for some of the names that have been attached to them: Suarez, [Pirates 3B Ke'Bryan] Hayes, McMahon," Curry said. "They are a very detail-oriented organization when they make these kinds of decisions." Curry criticized Suarez's defense and his fit on the team while also pointing out the contracts and lack of offense from Hayes and McMahon as potential reasons the Yankees don't acquire them. Hayes' contract still has five years of control at $30 million while McMahon is under contract through 2027 with $32 million remaining after this season. July 19, 8:27 p.m. The Yankees are in the market for a third baseman and have reportedly shown interest in the top target at this trade deadline. According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman, the Yankees are among the teams that have inquired about Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez. Other teams include the Marinerrs and Cubs, among "many others."

New Jersey Little Leaguer suspended for bat flip, a celebration governing body promotes
A 12-year-old Little Leaguer is 'distraught' at the prospect of missing his team's first state tournament game because he was suspended for flipping his bat after hitting a game-winning home run — a type of celebration Little League Baseball promotes on its social media accounts. Marco Rocco of Haddonfield, New Jersey tossed his bat in the air on July 16 after his sixth-inning, two-run homer in the final of the sectional tournament, his father, Joe Rocco told The Associated Press on Wednesday. At first, he was called out, but on appeal the runs counted, Marco was ejected and suspended for a game over what the family was told were actions deemed 'unsportsmanlike' and 'horseplay.' Now, his family has gone to court to seek an emergency temporary restraining order that will allow him to play in the New Jersey state tournament that starts on Thursday. 'All we're asking for is that the suspension be lifted so he can play in the game,' Joe Rocco said. The sides are scheduled to make their arguments before a judge in Gloucester County Chancery Division on Thursday afternoon, just hours before the game. The winner of the state tournament advances to the regionals, where they have a chance to move on to the Little League World Series. What makes the ejection and suspension so confounding is that Little League Baseball posts videos of bat-flip celebrations on social media that do not result in punishment. In fact, Marco has tossed his bat in celebration in prior tournament games without warnings or punishment, according to the court complaint. Joe Rocco called that hypocritical. 'They promote bat flips. The kids see major leaguers doing it. It's part of the game. He was just emulating what he saw," he said. The incident left his son 'distraught.' 'He was so confused,' the father said. 'He didn't understand what was going on. On the car ride home he was saying 'How can that be against the rules? If I knew I was breaking the rules I never would have done it.'' A message seeking comment was left with Little League's East Region headquarters after business hours on Wednesday night. ___ AP sports: Mark Pratt, The Associated Press

Harper hits 350th career homer, 4 teammates also go deep in Phillies' loss to the Red Sox
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bryce Harper hit the 350th homer of his career and four Phillies teammates also went deep Wednesday night, yet it wasn't enough for Philadelphia to beat the Boston Red Sox. Harper's milestone home run came in the first inning off Boston starter Lucas Giloito. He hit a first pitch fastball into the second deck in right field at Citizens Bank Park. The 439-foot homer run was his longest since a 451-foot blast on Sept. 23, 2023, against the New York Mets. 'It's pretty awesome,' Harper said after the Phillies' 9-8, 11-inning loss to Boston. 'On an individual note, I'm super happy about it. But I always want to win, obviously, and not getting the win was pretty tough.' The homer was the hardest hit ball of the season for Harper, who has begun to look like his former MVP self in recent weeks. In his last 10 games, the 32-year-old slugger has 16 hits, 14 for extra bases, including five home runs. He became the 105th player in MLB history to reach 350 homers in a career and is the eighth active player to accomplish the feat. He is also the youngest in that group of eight to reach that milestone. Despite the loss, the Phillies can take some solace that the offense has been starting to drive the ball with more authority since the All-Star break. 'It's disappointing (to lose)' Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. 'But the offense was good tonight.' Harper's homer came right after a home run by Kyle Schwarber, who has gone deep four times in the last six games and ranks third in the NL with 34 homers. Nick Castellanos, Bryson Stott and J.T. Realmuto also homered in the loss for the Phillies. Realmuto's homer was his first against a left-handed pitcher this season. Stott also doubled, playing in a game after his wife gave birth to their second child, a son, earlier on Wednesday. 'It was a big night for the offense,' Harper said. 'I thought we've swung the bat well all series. I thought we had some great at-bats. I'm super pumped for (Stott) obviously, having a baby at 3:45 in the morning, not getting much rest and then coming in and (doing what he did in the game) - that's baseball. I swear it happens every time.' ___ AP MLB:
