All right, my next name, Cam Scaduto.
Kind of going off the injury thing with Scaduto is he's coming off of injury, but he's not currently injured.
He's been practicing full go in training camp well ahead of s- of schedule here, and his injury at least happened halfway through the season, not like in January when Christian Watson tore, his ACL that, that previous season.
This is about volume.
This is about scheme.
This is about, just a, a, a role that accumulates fantasy points.
He's gonna be the goal line back.
That's what happened last year.
He's a bulldozer, backflips.
You guys get it.
And he also catches passes.
Like, he had three receptions per game, this past season in full PPR.
He was the RB10 on RB12 usage.
He was pretty much that in half PPR.
I don't think that those touches are necessarily going away.
And keep in mind that the Giants were not a very good team this last season.
They added Francis Mawhinney, a first-round guard who's really gonna help, clear some lanes for Cam Scaduto.
Both tackles are returning.
Hopefully they're both healthier this season as well.
Jackson Dart going into the second season.
Dart, Harbaugh, everybody's just kept saying, "What's the offense gonna look like?"
How about Cam Scaduto, 20 touches per game?
Right now there's an injury discount, based off where he finished last year, where he's being drafted, and I do think I want to buy the dip on that because I saw him do backflips two months ago and, and August 1st- He said no more backflips, by the way, Hayden.
He said no more until, until he's, on the football field when he will start doing backflips in the end zone 'cause that's his role to lose.
So there's kind of a teardrop.
I think there's kinda like some dead zone type of profiles potentially in, in round three that make me a little bit nervous.
His price tag's at least another round after that, and, last year he was already a top 10 fantasy running back.
He's expensive on Yahoo.
He's going as running back 18, in the early parts of round four.
And Hayden, he's now going ahead of Travis Etienne of the New Orleans Saints.
Is that rich?
That one's close because I can see both of them getting home.
I, I feel better about Scaduto catching more passes, and as he gets healthier and, like, the, there's more proof that he's, he's actually healthy, I, I might consider Scaduto, but I have to go back and update my rankings.
