It’s a big Russian ecosystem.
We know this last year.
Obviously it produced this monster season for Rahim Moser to produce a monster few weeks for the Devon A network.
They ranked fifth in Russia’s success rate and fifth in Russia’s EPA.
And it’s interesting.
I’m glad you mentioned them because I, I can’t understand, I can’t get my bearings on how I feel about this group as A, as a unit, because as you look at Early Fantasy AP, it’s very clear how people feel about that.
As if Devon Aan was going to take over the show.
He is 1/20th of the overall player off the board at the start of the basketball draft.
I’m like, you have to go down like we’re talking Tony Pollard Devante Williams to get to Raheem Mostert as the 95th overall player off the board.
I can’t imagine this will hold up when we get to the real drafts in August, and like the people who had Raheem Mostert on their Fantasy team last year, I think he will, I mean he won’t go after Devote Williams.
I just can’t imagine this will last forever.
Um, but for now, for now that’s what it is.
So that indicates to me, Jorge, that everything you said about what was true with Raheem Mostert in the atypical year, he won’t have that again.
There is a history of serious injuries here.
The early drafters are just not taking this into account, potentially even overemphasizing it to the point where he drops to 95th overall of all players here.
But I have to imagine that a chan is not, he really doesn’t have the profile of any of these guys that are popular here.
Like, I don’t think he’ll have the same workload as a Kyron Williams.
I think he will have the same workload as Travis Etienne.
Certainly not like a Derek Henry, you know, Josh Jacobs or Isaiah Pacheco that goes much later, right?
So inside, inside, how do you imagine, how do you imagine the workload being divided between these two guys so that they both give us the usability of both players.
One of the growth aspects of Devo, a channel that I think will be, I mean, I think it will be in the passing game.
I mean, he just, he, he was a big factor, but I think he’s going to become more important in this.
So I think things are growing and he, I think, will stay on the field more.
Um, he only had four games with the A fa snap show, more than 50% of four of the 11 games he appeared in.
So, um, I think just being on the field a little, a little more will, will, help him.
I mean, he’s so explosive.
I mean his yards per attempt was 7.5 yards which is ridiculous as he led all players with over 100 carries and number two was Jalen Warren who was at 5.2.
So, I mean, he was about to go around the field, but, um, I think he’s going to have a little more.
Um, I don’t know how close he’ll get.
Um, I think most of them are managing, getting some of the shipments.
Um, so most carries within the red zone and especially within the five, you know, when, when you’re talking about and when you talk about the, the, uh ad P for most or, I mean, it’s like you wins eight games, 10 games from him, I think you, I mean, I think you win that ad P at that point because basically you’re, you’re looking at, if you choose a hero RB approach where you take, you know, one of the, one of the, let’s say you take one of the big four or five, guys that in the first two rounds and then you just wait, wait for the running back and Raheem Mustard is maybe your second or third running back at that spot.
I’m going to take this discount, I’m going to take this discount and I’m just going to, I’m going to start it every week in that offense in that ecosystem, I signed up for, especially considering the fact that Miami is so explosive, especially in the first half of the, uh, season.
