Recently, Mauricio wrote about where the first pick fantasy drafts usually ends up at the end of the season — and the results aren’t pretty. (06:00)

In the last decade, only three RBs who were top picks ended up repeating as a top-5 RB, that was Arian Foster in 2012, Adrian Peterson in 2015 and Todd Gurley in 2018. None of those RBs repeated as RB1 the next year:

  • 2010 - C. Johnson (RB7)

  • 2011 - Peterson (RB15)

  • 2012 - Foster (RB3)

  • 2013 - Peterson (RB11)

  • 2014 - McCoy (RB12)

  • 2015 - Peterson (RB2)

  • 2016 - A. Brown (WR1)

  • 2017 - D. Johnson (injured)

  • 2018 - Gurley (RB3)

  • 2019 - S. Barkley (RB10)

Liz and Mauricio discuss this, along with Christian McCaffrey's chances to repeat as top fantasy running back, and whether we should that change our draft strategy/find a McCaffrey replacement at No. 1 overall.

Liz and Mauricio continue their running back discussion with Mauricio’s take on Joe Mixon, along with their thoughts on a potentially resurgent David Johnson. (14:52)

Oh, and Antonio Brown un-retired from football again. Just in case you were wondering.

We're all aboard the Joe Mixon hype train.
