Adam Azer filling in for Chris Towers here. Dave Richard is on to give us seven post-NFL draft breakouts. Okay, go first ones. Tony Pollard. I think he could actually improve on what he did last year. And he was awesome last year, but the Cowboys,

you know what they added at running back in the draft. It was deuce Vaughn and nothing else. And I think that we're going to see Tony Pollard play about 45% of the, not 45% of snaps, 45 snaps and get that short yardage goal line roll. Two, Miles Sanders in Carolina. We talked about him on the FFT show that we recorded on Thursday. And I'm kind of buying in a little bit.

The fact that he could do more in the passing game. Do you know that his career high in PPR per game points is 12.9? I think he can beat Carolina, even with a rookie quarterback next to him. Three, Rashad White in Tampa. The only running back that the Bucs added was Sean Tucker as an undrafted free agent after the NFL draft. And I kind of like him, by the way. I don't want to get on my dynasty team, but Rashad White could be a three-down guy in a more conservative tone down Tampa offense.

I think he's got a chance to have a breakout year and maybe his only great year in the NFL. You like miles Sanders or, or Rashad. I'll take Sanders over white. Uh, four Garrett Wilson. I've talked about him so much.

We all have the fact that Aaron Rogers is there. The fact that they didn't do anything to add to the receiving core and they did add to their offensive line overall in the draft and in free agency. I think he has a chance to finish as a top five fantasy receiver. Seven. What do you mean seven? You're just throwing out numbers now. How about a two for one? How about a friendship strategy that everybody can buy into? Kadarius, Tony, and Sky Moore, neither of whom are rookie receivers in Kansas City.

They'll both have experience on their side when they go through training camp with the Chiefs. If Tony can stay healthy, you know what he's capable of doing. I don't know if he can stay healthy, which is why you get Sky Moore on your roster. Moore can end up being the better wide receiver of the two, but you'll want to get guys that are going to get targets from Patrick Malms. Seven. I think legitimately this is, this is the legit seven.

It's the last one. It's Chico Conquo. Not a lot added to the Tennessee Titans passing game in the draft. Or should I say receiving core? I think I should say receiving core because of the other guys that they have. And they did draft will Levis. I think Levis could lean on Oconquo if he plays.

I think Tannehill has already shown that he's willing to lean on Oconquo. This is a guy, if we like that schedule, you love those first few games for Tennessee, Oconquo could be a priority pick for you around 100th overall. Yeah, I was going to say Traylon Burks, actually. He's right up there. Absolutely, he's a break-up. You want to get in on that year to receiver group. He's kind of cheaper. So someone's got to step up in

that receiving court. They're going to have much better quarterback play this year. That's Dave Richard. I'm at three minutes. Do you want to do a little more? More than seven names. You're impressed. I was able to get through seven names in five minutes. I don't know who's drafting within the next couple of weeks,

but it's starting to look like Dalvin Cook is on the outs in Minnesota. And that would mean that Alexander Madison would be a no-brainer breakout candidate. Where did I draft him in the mock that we just did? I know I got him because everybody else was asleep at the wheel. It's never going to happen again. I got him in round 10. Yeah, wow. Amazing.

Look, look, look. If Dalvin Cook gets traded, clearly Madison will go up into the round four, five range. Let's see. If he goes into round four, round five, is there another running back? It could be Chandler. It could be McBride.

They could always bring in somebody else. He'd probably share, but he might be the lead guy in that offense and be in line for some good touchdown production. All right, that will do it for Fantasy Football Today in 5. Thank you very much. I'm Adam Azer. That is Dave Richard. We're filling in for Chris Towers today. And we will talk to you tomorrow on FFT in 5. Weight loss. It needs to be fast and sustainable.
