this is prop points on Vsyn. These forts betting network. Now here's your host, the guru himself, John Hansen. What's going on? Good afternoon. Welcome to a Wednesday edition of prop points here on Vsyn. I'm John Hansen of fantasypoints.com. The program has always been produced by Mr. Michael Cohen and a water program. We have forthcoming the NFL season kicks off a one week from tonight. We're fired up. We're excited. I've got some great propage here all week. Today we're going to talk running backs. We'll also sprinkle in some fantasy. We'll catch you up first, though, on all the running back injury news and updates. Very important stuff. This comes directly from the resident doctor over at fantasypoints.com.
Jeff Muller. He is all about it. He is a fantasy fanatic and also very well versed when it comes to sports injuries. He has got some timelines and some timetables for all the banged up running backs. We'll talk about here in segment number one. Then we'll move on to fantasy. I have popped out. I think it's seven or eight of my favorite running back targets. Not the whole list. Spoiler alert. We're going to have another nugget on Chuba Hubbard. He's on my list. But we're not going to talk about him today. I just pulled out the best of the best for you here on this program. So eight running back targets, including my sleeper of the year. And when I say sleeper, I mean this guy you can get in the draft about 180 picks in. And I think some way shape or form. He's going to be very, very impactful. Speaking of impactful, Nick Bokai will join the show. He is the host of Veeces. New weekly evening show.
It perhaps is the greatest title of all time. Winning ugly with Nick Bokai and Billy Gardell on Veeces and every Wednesday night from 10 to 11 PM Eastern starting tonight. We'll chop it up with our guy Nick. I mean, he had so much air time down the stretch that I guess Veeces said, you know what? Give this man a show. He has been talking gambling on national airwaves way before a lot of people out there doing it now. We always remember those great spots, those little vignettes. If you will, stink from ESPN back in the day. So great to have Nick aboard and great to have him on the program today. And then we'll wrap it up with my favorite running back props, futures of course, season long over unders. Essentially, I do have one under that is somewhat controversial. I wish I had more, but I do actually like, I think it's easier, by the way, to proactively find an over than it is to just kind of sit back and react and say,
or believe that this is going to be an under, but I do have one under that I feel pretty good about. But yeah, I really feel good about the overs. Make sure you download the PopPoids podcast on Apple Spotify, wherever you get your pods. Top of the show during the season, which will commence in one week. Technically less if you want to call Monday show, kind of a NFL weekly show. We'll catch you up on all the fantasy and betting related news and injury items, such as the 49ers leaving for Australia today and arrive Friday, continue preparations for next week's opener on Thursday. Now, normally I don't really care all that much about travel plans, but when it involves injured players and whether or not they travel, that is very important. George Kiddell did travel. He didn't have to do that yet, but he did make the trip as did Nick Bosa. The Rams are not leaving for Australia until next Wednesday.
Wow, that is a little weird. I mean, you're going to wake up and play the game, I guess, the next day. But good luck with them. The Vikings have signed linebacker Kyle Van Neuay. I mean, he's been a baller. I actually kind of liked him. I think he was like, what was the BYU coming out? I was actually into him. He said quite the career. I just think it was a little tough for him to go to the coach in college football. Let's be honest here, Bill Bellagek. But shout out to Bill for getting that win last week. Buck GM, Jason Light said that Ted Hurse, the outstanding prospect at a Georgia state, the Big Tall x receiver could be the long term replacement for Big Mike Evans is going to play a role and he might have to play a role in week one because of mecha obuka dealing with that turvto. That is frightening. He did work on the side today. We're still a week out, but some worries there for sure. Mecha obuka, by the way, not on my list. Ashton Gentie still at a practice with the ankle now. Head coach Clint Kubiak did state
yesterday or today that he's optimistic that Gentie will play week one against the dolphins. I believe that was in fact today. And then for the Carolina Panthers, we're going to get into the running back injuries right now. But Jonathan Brooks worked to the side today. Chubba Hubbard, though, did in fact return to practice. Again, I've been on Hubbard all year. I know it's a little boring. And Jonathan Brooks is kind of the sexy choice and all that. Did have a one really good year. Texas, of course, he played behind Bejohn Robinson. I actually met a couple of people actually thought Brooks is better than Bejohn. I'm like, I don't know about that, bro. But Jonathan Brooks is a little amphibian to open the season and looks like Chubba Hubbard is in better shape for what it's worth, which could be something Dan Graziano of ESPN is pretty good reporter. He believes that Chubba will in fact lead the Panthers backfield in 2026. So run it backs the big topic today. So let's go through and I'm going to have to do this online because it's this big fancy graphic. I'm over here at fantasypoints.com looking at Jeff Moller, our resident physician. His
injury tracker basically is what it is. Breeze Hall start there. Expect some back week one. He's he's looking at a 10 to 15 re injury risk. But he's not fading him for the 2026 season, either MI. Jeremiah Love, his target return would be weeks one through three still, which isn't great. Average of 15 to 25% production dip expected for run and backs, but improves to 5% dip five to 10 when the run and back has an elite receiving skill set, which of course, Jeremiah Love does the genty situation where projecting Dr. Moller is projecting week one or two to describe this more low than high in terms of the variety of the ankle injury. Kenneth Walker's got some ankle swelling. I don't think this is a big deal. I think there they were some about its cleat actually. Week one is the target. Some ankle swelling is not great, but should be a full go for week number one.
Kyle Menungai suffered a hyper extended knee about three weeks ago. That's not good. Good news for DeAndre Swift, though. We're projecting a return of weeks one to three. So it could play week one, but it could be week two and worst case scenario. It could be week three. Jordan James, that that I care all that much about that because we're going to get in the 49th situation later on in the program. 5% re injury risk, but he's he's buried a little bit on the death chart. How about Travion Henderson? He is dealing with a right ankle sprain. Good news, spoiler alert. We like Ramandre this year. We don't like Travion. Hasn't been great in terms of the vibes this summer and this right ankle sprain doesn't hurt. Five to 10% re injury risk with a 10% reduction with in production with a low ankle sprain. Chakuri Kroski merit. Now he's dealing with a growing strain still projected back by week number one, but a 10 to 15% re injury risk within the first two
weeks. Isaiah Pacheco placed on IR with a designation to return. I know they're hoping that he can return. Speaking of Chuba, like I said, full participant in practice yesterday expected to play week one. Now we are projecting a 10 to 15% re injury risk with a 5 to 10% production dip, but he's probably going to be their main guy. Keaton Mitchell has missed six practices and still out as of yesterday for the chargers, spoiler alert. I'm in on a mayor in Hampton. I understand what head coach Mike McDaniel has talked about. Use it all three backs. I do believe they certainly want to be more multiple. Maybe even get C'monnie Vidal out there, but I do not fear. A mayor in Hampton is their guy and they're going to lean them. They're going to lean on them for sure. Oh, one other, Zach Sharbanay. We're going to talk to Darian Price on this program. Stay tuned for
that. We are projecting, and this is good news for Darian a week eight to 12 return, nine months past post op that makes him hit late November, which would bode extremely well, certainly for Mr. Darian Price. And real quick on price, I really do believe once he showed so well in the first couple of weeks of training camp when he had that little whatever it was, lower body injury, it feels to me like they gave him the veteran treatment. They kind of like, that's it. Was shut him down. No more playing in the in the game. Put a red contact jersey on him, whatever you need to do to protect this guy, but he looks to me like a very critical piece for that Seattle offense and we'll get an early look at those guys on Wednesday. And when we return, we'll get an early look. I've kind of spilled the beans a little bit there. And some of my top
running back targets for your fantasy draft. This is the time to draft, by the way, I mean, ideally you're drafting Labor Day weekend or even the Tuesday be for the opener. But first, if you think you're better than the experts, this is your chance to prove it.

the 90s all over again. We'll talk runnaback targets for your fantasy draft next year in this Wednesday edition of Prop Points on Vsion. Welcome back to this Wednesday edition of Prop Points here on Vsion September 2nd one week away from the opener. This is the time to do your fantasy draft after the preseason, after training camps, after the final cuts. Most guys are going to stay healthy the next
12 to 14 days. So we're going to be good. So hopefully you you're able to be a little more patient than others out there. I understand it's exciting. I don't know if I feel that way now, but for a long time I literally did view draft day as the best day of the year. Yeah, it's up there though. No doubt about it. But you know some people doing drafts in early to mid August. It's like simmer down now. Let it play out. Let the injuries play out. Get a good feel and then draft. But neither here nor there. I have popped together my list here. Not my entire list over at fantasypoints.com. I've got my big article. My draft plan maps it all out. I've got an article. Guru's guys basically it's called all my favorite player targets. Basically I narrowed down about the top 225 down to 50. So I'm pretty judicious. I'm pretty selective. And that always applies to run-and-backs. My
rule for drafting run-and-backs ideally my guys are young, durable and versatile. So let's get to it. Number one fits all of those three criterion. Mr. O'Maring Hampton ADP is up there. It's about 16 overall. And I will say this if I took a run-and-back in round one I wouldn't be that inclined to get a mayor in Hampton at the top around two. But if I was at the end of round one. I mean here's an ideal start. CD Lamb, O'Maring Hampton. That's sexy. So if you're like nine, ten overall and like a twelve teamer, very doable. We're projecting a healthy 276 touches, 230 rushing, 46 receptions as a clear lead back under Mike McDaniel who of course is a very well-known and look he's the head coaching duties off the plate. He can focus on creative explosives. It's all about explosives in the NFL and no one better than Mike McDaniel with his run-and-backs in terms of
the running game and the passing game LA last year only 27th in yards before contact per attempt per fantasy points dot com. But the O line was in tatters. They will have Roshan Slater back Joe all is completely healthy. I know they did lose the starting center. But they do have a second round pick hopefully who can fill in. And in that case, just don't suck, dude. That's all I say. Don't suck. Be mediocre. We'll take it. And despite all those injuries last year to the offensive line LA was 12th in rushing yards per game with the fifth best explosive run percentage. And here comes Mr. Explosion. Mr. Mike McDaniel. Sure they're going to work in Keaton Mitchell. But he's the complimentary change up. That's all. Maybe a little come on. Evidol. I know what McDaniel's talking about. It all three backs. But I'm Aaron Hampton's the guy you can go ahead and feel safe to draft him in round number two. Next up, one of my all-time favorites quite frankly. If you're listening on serious for a long time, you know, I love Javante Williams like a son coming out
of North Carolina. It didn't go well early on. I was apologizing profusely. But hey, the cream rises to the top. Even though I still believe Javante is a shell of the player who came out of North Carolina after that devastating injury. But he was awesome last year for the Cowboys. They're locked and loaded with a very good offense. He is about the RB 15 off the board at 34 overall. It's a little pricey. But I like him in that round. If you happen to let's say open a draft with the aforementioned CDLAM. And let's say maybe you say, you know what, I'm going to go for the Gusto with Brock Bowers. Then I think in round three, you can get away with Javante Williams as your number one running back. They did cut Jaden Blu. Now they also did Ed Amari D. Marquado, who is a pretty good scap back, change up, receiving threat. Javante, he actually averaged 50 catches a season his last two years in Denver. But he's not very explosive in the passing attack. But you
can certainly pull in 35, 40 balls and score double digit touchdowns as he did last year. Next up, Dave Mont-Gummery. I'm a Mont-Gummery guy all year. Euston's a 12-win playoff team last year with a struggling quarterback and a great defense. So what's been missing? A thumper basically. They missed that last year with Joe Mixon. That'll be David Mont-Gummery. I know Woody Marx is look good this summer. He's a good receiver. He'll get some opportunities. But they love Mont-Gummery. He's already shown to be a great leader. And by the way, he's great in past protection. So they're going to use him as a three-down player. He actually had an ADR touchdown catch in practice this month. About the 21st back off the board. But I think he's a very strong RB3. And I even think if you hold off a little bit, maybe you don't end up addressing or going hardcore and running back, I think you might be able to get by with him as your RB2.
We'll talk a little bit more about Monty still to come because spoiler alert. We do have some props on Mr. David Mont-Gummery. Next up, DeAndre Swift. Here's my history with DeAndre Swift. Loved them coming out of Georgia for two years. Then I hated him because he wasn't as good as I thought he would be. And then now I gave him some love last year. Not a lot. But I did give him some love and he paid me back by getting it done once again. And this calm Monongai injury does not hurt. He has produced three years in a row now. 223 or more carries in each of those seasons. Rushing data very strong last year. Raking top 15 among 49 run-of-backs with a hundred or more carries in rushing yards per game. Yards per carry average, explosive run percentage, success rate. He is good on the zone runs. Monongai is good on the power gap scheme run. So they use him well. Ben McDonald knows what he's doing because he had him in Detroit. So I like Swift to get it done again.
Good ol' line, by the way. The Bears had the six best yards before contact per attempt last year. Next up, Jadarian Price. Love Jadarian Price. 67 is the 80p. It's a little pricey. But I think Charbonne is not going to be a factor in the first two and a half months. And Price's inexperience is a receiver, but he's shown well in camp and just the footwork in camp. He's looked incredibly quick. He looks like a real problem. He's been described as unstoppable. And I'm not worried about the guys behind him. George Hullani. I mean, come on. A manual Wilson. No. Jadarian Price is a great pick and he's a great sleeper. Ramondra Stevenson, probably a better pick with a lower ADP 81. I've been wrecking him well over his ADP. Traveyor Henderson hasn't been that good. So Ramondra is your lead back. He's your primary goal lineback, assuming he doesn't keep fumbling. But hey,
Rae Bull is kind of stuck up for him last year and Ramondra paid him back. He's also the best pass catcher and protector. So he is the primary guy. Yeah, he's in a little bit of a time share. But Ramondra is looking real good this summer as well. Might want to use him in props early in the season. And then last but certainly not least, this is my sleeper pick of the year. Last year, national championship game. I was still doing this show. We did a bunch of props for the national the national championship game. And we did well. I think it was like, it was like five and three or something like that. It was solid. The one prop I did lose was I went with Roman Hemby, the co-starter, I guess, for Indiana last year. And he stunk in the game. He wasn't very good. I did feel that Indiana would win and they would lean on the run to close it out. And that's why I went with Hemby. Well, Kale on black is the guy who was awesome. So, you know, looking into him
after that before the draft, I'm like, I love this guy. Turns out, so to the 49ers, they had him as the number two running back in the class. He's been heaped with praise this summer from guys like Christian McCaffrey, George Kiddell Kyle Yuschek. He has shown good vision. He's got experience, bulk. He's got some explosiveness, some lateral agility. I think he might carve out a little bit of a role alongside Christian McCaffrey. And if C-Mac goes down, I am feeling Mr. Kale on black. So, that is my traditional sleeper at the running back position is ADP is 214. So, if it doesn't do anything, I'm not going to feel that bad because it's basically a free pick. But I do love me some K-Law on black. And I would look to get him in a dynasty league for the long term because not so sure about Mr. Christian McCaffrey. I am sure though that Nick Bukai is the man and he will

Welcome back to this Wednesday edition of Prop Points here on Vison. And we're not going to mess around. We're going to go right to the progressive guest line to bring in a man that has been one of my favorite humans on the planet for long as I've known him probably before that, quite frankly, and spent about 20 years at least Nick Bukai, writer, actor, producer, gaming, enthusiast, sports commentator on the X machine at Nick Bukai for real and starting tonight, 10 o'clock Eastern, 10 to 11. You can catch Nick Bukai and Billy Gardell on a brand new show here on Vison. Every Wednesday night from 10 to 11 Eastern, it is called winning ugly Nick. Welcome to this program. First and foremost, congratulations on coming up with the best show name in the history of gambling activities. How are you? I appreciate that, John. I'm great. I have to say in hockey, you know, an
assist is called the helper. I have to give you a helper on this because I reached onto you and I said, Hey, who do I get in touch with? I have a father Vison and low and behold tonight we get out of the gate, hopefully strong with my friend Billy Gardell. And the show is sort of an extension of the conversations he and I have had we got to know each other on the Warner Brothers a lot. He was doing Mike and Molly and then Bob parts of his show. I was doing a variety of shows still am and I used to walk by Billy's trailer on my way to you said you're a young sheldon enthusiast. I'm a young showman fan. Yeah. There you go. And Billy's trailer was on my path to the stage where we shot that. And he's not the typical of Louf staying my trailer. Call me when things are lit properly. He's he's on front in a lawn chair, you know, smoking a cigarette. And it's I feel like I'm back home in Buffalo and I got drawn into the quick stand that was Gardell. We started figuring out how to sort of attack the NFL points bread and that became the foundation
of our friendship and hopefully the show's an extension of that. Yeah, no, I think it's cool. You know, it's so funny because like I've met so many people like you and I'm kind of in awe because, you know, I'm a big Hollywood guy. I mean, I am an actor. You know, I do have my own IMDB page, but you know, I'm fascinated by your your own IMDB, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I got to be on Kirby enthusiasm, you know, for example, but you know, when I was on curb, by the way, in between takes Larry David and everybody else had couldn't care less what I had to say about anything but football though, but football. So how many of you actor Hollywood people out there are just like kind of, you know, like maybe maybe kind of you always wanted to be in sports, right? Well, you know what? It's funny. Yeah, I definitely think, you know, look, there's a whole generation, you know, of guys I know who are like me and they played high school football. Look, when I was in like the sixth grade, my plan for life was I was going to be a pro football player and that's long
enough ago that guys didn't make that much bank. So I and the during the offseason instead of selling suits or something in some store, I was going to be an architect, both of which were things I would be profoundly bad at, but you know, when you're 12, you dream. But yeah, I think, gosh, you know, I honestly think, you know, it's funny when I used to do stuff for ESPN and I used to be on there a bunch. I used to take Hollywood meetings and I could tell these guys really don't care about this show I'm pitching, but they every agent in LA wanted desperately to be a sports center anchor. It was just a thing. And so, you know, it's like, however you gain access, it's all kosher, but I remember thinking these guys really don't want to hear my kinds that they want me to help them with their fantasy games. Hey, and Larry David real quick, I can confirm because Larry David himself told me that he told Jets GM Mike McCagnan to draft Lamar Jackson and they didn't listen
to Larry David, but we'll get into some football stuff here. And by the way, programming note, next week, the show will be moved to Tuesday, 10 to 11 because of the game on Wednesday, but after that, it will be every Wednesday here on Vison from 10 to 11. Well, we got to start with your Buffalo bills. How are you feeling right now? I'm a big vibe guy. And I gotta tell you, I love the vibes. I've interviewed DJ Moore. He was miserable. He's a cramudge in, but this summer, he's got a smile ear to ear. He's loving life. How are you feeling about your bills? I feel good. You know, look, listen, that's nice to hear. And I listen, I read your vibes column every year for a long time, and I put a lot of stock in it and I quote it, I love that. I think they're good. You know, it's a strange thing though, because we got a brand new head coach, brand new DC. And it's ex the unknown, you know what I mean? I talk about this with Gardell a lot, you know, in our business, there are a lot of people who are good coordinators, you know, I'm in a writing room, I'm running the
room. A lot of people are great with story, great with script, great with jokes, but when you end up being the show runner, things change on you. I always say it's like you've got to be really creative, do all the things that got you where you are. And now you also have to manage an AMPM store, you know, and it just it's not for everyone. So we'll see with Brady. We'll see, but I do think, you know, look, in terms of the big picture, I don't think they've addressed some of the things that are chronic issues, past, rush and number two cornerbacker big big big who knows with the bills, but I think the AFC's wide open, why not? You know, and there's some players I like there. I do like the aforementioned DJ Moore to go over on his yards this year. I think Alan's kind of just fire with him as long as he stays healthy. I think his yard total is like 849 or something like that. I really like that. And I actually it's in the same spirit of health. I like concade if he stays healthy to go over his yards. It's in the mid five hundreds. And I think that that that's going to be
a lock. I think he always had those numbers in him if he just could stay on the field. Pretty good vibes there. By the way, the new vibes article is up at fantasypoints.com. We're talking with Nick Bokai. He'll be hosting winning ugly every Wednesday night, starting tonight right here on Vison with fellow actor and Hollywood person, Billy Gardell sports enthusiasts. We did the futures draft on Vison a couple of weeks ago. And I got to ask you about your first round pick because that's from my Minnesota Vikings. You have Kyle and Murray passing yards leader. We've talked quarterbacks this week. I'm in on Murray. I was incorrect on JJ McCarthy last year. That was ugly, but the Vikings are every other year. They're going to bounce back. I'm feeling it. What do you see with Murray? I love it. Look what this coach did for Donald. And Murray, you know, better than anybody guru. He's put up big fantasy numbers consistently. And he's got great weapons in Minnesota. And I also think
you know, I think you can always take advantage of this sort of public resentment towards a player. And I feel like he's one of those guys that people are just negative towards. I put that bet as my number one pick because I felt like on the futures draft. And also with futures in general, if you're going to park your money for the whole season, you might as well hit some you go for some big odds because you know, you want a big return 40 to one passing yards leader. It's a bit of a reach. I do love him to go over his yards and potentially his touchdown totals this year. I'm glad you feel the way I was going to pick your break because I think of you as my man in Vikings land. Yeah. Well, the offensive line is healthy. You know, last year was an absolute debacle. But, you know, everything's going to be better in Minnesota protection running game. It's all looking good. And of course, the quarterback play. How about Ken Walker? You took that in round three. The under 949.5. Are you a Ken Walker hater? I have been a hater because I call him the bouncer. He's bouncing all these
runs. It gets annoying. He was almost worthless for half a season last year. Of course, he won the Super Bowl MVP. What are you seeing with Walker? I think this is a really hyped up number. I think everybody's all over him going over. But the fact is, you know, if you look at Andy Reed and his offense, you know, there's like other than Jamal Charles, no one's gone over 949 yards rushing for Andy Reed and Kansas. He goes back like 13 years. It's happened three times. Karim Hunt had one big season. But generally speaking, this is not a dynamic running offense. It's sort of, you know, this is just a they use the run to sort of keep people off my homes. It feels like I always feel like Kansas City's running backs are a little over hyped and Walker. Again, here's another guy. He's changing teams too. We actually don't know what he's going to be in Kansas City. There are a lot of assumptions here. So I thought I'd go contrary and on that one. All right. And then I only have about
a minute. Unfortunately, time flies when you haven't thought I probably talked too much at the top there as always. Jacksonville over eight and a half wins. I feel on that one as well. I think Liam Cohen's a real deal. Good. I do too. It's a lot to do with the coach, you know. I honestly think he got so much turned around in one season. He showed he is a head coach, you know. And I think you know, hopefully the quarterback continues to grow and progress there. But yeah, when you look at that division, it's kind of up for grabs. And I think Jacksonville is a solid playoff team. So I like that over. If you're in the AFC South, you're always winning ugly and winning ugly would Nick Bokai and Lily Gardell on decent every Wednesday night, starting tonight at 10 o'clock Eastern, 10 to 11 next week. They'll do a Tuesday show and then they're back to Wednesday. Great spot, Nick. Good luck with all the picks. Good luck for your first show and welcome aboard. I appreciate it, John. Thank you. The great Nick Bokai and when we return, the final segment already

Thanks to Nick Bokai for joining the program. Watch winning ugly tonight from 10 to 11 right here on V-Send, 10 to 11 Eastern. It is time now for the final segment. We're covering all the positions each day. Yesterday was the quarterbacks. You can check that out on demand if you miss any of that.
Tomorrow we'll do wide receivers and then on Friday, of course, we'll do tight ends. Up now, the all important season-long props, the over-under totals and all that. I do have, let's see, I've got eight of them. Let's get into it. One under, right? We do have one under. Yes, we do. Number one, and these are ranked in terms of my priority. The aforementioned Jadarian price. I know he's a rookie and it's a little bit of an unknown uncharted territory, if you will, but I like that. This is a team that ran, by the way, for 2,000 plus yards last year. Let's see. Did Sam Darnel get many of those? Not really. I'm going to guess he ran for like a buck 60. Let's see if we can find that. He was not much of the running game. They run the ball there. Let's see here. Bob and Bob come on. Throw me a bone. Oh my god. 95. That's all he ran for. So big shoes to fill with
Zach Sharmane out, probably until mid-November. And of course, no more Ken Walker. And I just don't think much of George Hullani or Emmanuel Wilson. Emmanuel Wilson might be the third down back, but that's irrelevant for this prop because we're going over 724.5 minus 110 on draft kings. Next up, David Montgomery. Now I had this in the Veecent betting guide in July at over 774. This puppy has been bet up to 824. 0.5, which is a good sign minus 120. And I'm still in. Fantasy points is projecting 1,100 and 15 rushing yards and 15 games on 263 carries. That is the ninth most. That is a whopping 44% higher than this total. You hit this number in five of five seasons with 200 plus carries. Once again, we're actually 35% higher. Sorry. It was 44% higher when I had in the
Veecent betting guide. Now it's only 35% higher, but that's still really high. And keep in mind, as I've been saying all week, the projections by nature are conservative. We don't project the best case scenario for a guy like David Montgomery. We factor in Woody Marks. We factor in some a couple of games, miss and all that. So those are just some of the reasons why these projections are pretty low. Next up, my guy, Javante Williams, let's go over 949.5 regular season rushing yards. I mean, he absolutely crushed this last year. Nothing in the backfield. The number two running back right now just joined the team about 48 hours ago. Well, actually, Malik Davis is the backup. He is the two. But in terms of like, you know, someone that they'd be inclined to sprinkle in with Javante, that would be more of a Mario do Marcado. So Javante, you know, big dude, 510 to 25, 26 years old
in the prime of his life coming off that really nice season last year, all five starters returning on the offensive line and a potent passing attack to challenge defenses down the field, which opens things up for Javante. Next up, Ramondrey Stevenson. I actually bet the under on this last year in the Veece and Betting Guide and emerged victorious. But we're going over because Travian Henderson did not show very well last year. He's a little dinged up. He's got a right ankle sprain right now. Meanwhile, Ramondrey has been very good. Again, this summer from all reports and they're going to need him, you know, because this things are a little shaky here. I think Drake, Drake May and AJ Brown are going to be good. I think the other receivers are going to contribute here. But I just don't know about the totality of the team. They overachieved a little bit with a good schedule. Obviously, they've had some off the field distractions this year. So, you know, when in doubt, just just
feed the ball to Ramondrey in the running game and the passing game. But I like the rushing yards here. We are projecting 792 rushing yards. Well, it's again, that's conservative. 26.8% higher than this number. So, barring an injury, that's the thing I said yesterday or the day before. I know this is gambling, but I feel very strongly with all my plays. If we avoid a serious injury, we're probably going to win quite frankly. Now, this next one, not that we're rooting for an injury for anyone, but it's an under I'm going under on Christian McCaffrey 949.5 regular season rushing yards. You know, in nine seasons, he's carried the ball over 1600 times, over 600 receptions. The carry in the touch total last year was in a very, very dangerous place where, you know, everybody else who was in that neighborhood fell off a cliff the next year. For example, say, Juan Barclay, my number one under last year was Barclays under the rushing
easy win, because the residual effects. Here's some data on McCaffrey to among 65 running backs with 50 more carries last year. I mean, this is ugly. 48th in yards per carry at 3.8. 42nd in explosive run percentage, 43rd in success rate, 29th in mistakels forced per attempt, 47th in yards after contact per attempt. So he was terrible. He looked like a fullback quite frankly. Now he could still deliver the goods for fantasy catch like six balls of game or more and get it done in PPR leagues, but we don't care. We're going to go under 949.5. And by the way, in an effort to keep him healthy, they would like to work in another back on early downs. Problem is they haven't had a back that's been any good behind McCaffrey like Isaac a Garendo. Well, guess what? K-Lon Black is good. They're rookie out of Indiana. So I do think he might carve out a decent role here. Next up, this one here might be a little sneaky. Not to me,
though. I mean, I think this is a slam dunk. The Minnesota Vikings have an edict that's been handed down. They're going to run the ball. They're going to have to run the ball, you know, to work in Kyler, Mary. It's a new system. They're going to have to be a little more creative with tweaking the system, get Kyler on the move and things like that. Not for nothing. A mobile quarterback like Kyler can help seal off backside defenders and the like and help out a running back. Jordan Mason, I do believe is going to be their primary early down back. He's not going to own it. You know, Aaron Jones, of course, is there, but he's going to be their primary back. And he does look really good this summer. He reported in tip top shape. Here's some great data among 65 running backs with at least 50 carries last year. Mason, behind a depleted O line with a disastrous offense, mind you, he was 15th in yards per carry, 13th and explosive run percentage higher than Beeshan Robinson, believe it or not. Aaron Jones was 39th 10th and success rate, 18th best stuff rate,
the good data points go on and on and on here. He was actually also 11th in Miss Tackle's force per attempt. Good, good fit for the scheme that they're going to run. Again, offensive line going to be way more effective than last year because of their good health. Next up, speaking of Barclay, I'm going to get Barclay right three years in a row, baby. We're going to go over 1099.5 minus 110. Once again, I was all in on the under last year, easiest win of the season. The total is down like 35%. The offensive line in a relatively good shape. Fantasy points is projecting 1288. 17% more. He's been very durable over the last four seasons. And I do believe the offense can only improve upon last year's horrendous showing. And they'll need Barclay early as they're going to have some growing pains throwing the ball in the passing attack with jail and hurts. And then last but not least, Dave Montgomery over 7.5 regular season rushing touchdowns at minus 115. He is Mr. Touchdown,
25 rushing touchdowns from 2023 to 2024. And eight tuddies last year splitting time with stud, Jamir Gibbs. Once again, feel really, really good about those selections. As long as we can avoid a serious injury, we should be close. If not there. So good luck with all those plays and don't go anywhere. Money moves with Stormy, Bon Antonio and Jonathan, Von Toeble, up next, Kendall, Valence, O'Walla breaks down her top props and fantasy plays. And then for Eastern, it is follow the money with Mitch Moss and Paulie Howard and Vison prime time starts at seven. It's all right here on Vison, the sports betting network programming note on Friday, our guy, Josh Shivalier of fantasy points college will be hopping aboard to pop out five props. The record over at fantasy points college on the propage is outstanding. So we're expecting some victories on that puppy. And then on tomorrow's
show, I'll do exactly what I did today with the running backs. We will talk wide receivers. And that is the position where my number one favorite player to draft in 2026. That's where he's at, the wide receiver position. So until then, enjoy your evening. We'll catch you in Maniana for another edition of Prop Voice right here on Vison.
