Basil Tootin could displace Tank Bigsby and become Jacksonville’s 1A back.

1. Fantasy Football Today DFS focuses on NFL Draft day three and the fantasy impact of late-round picks. 2. Adam Azer hosts with Dave Richard and Chris Trapasso, and Trapasso’s team-by-team grades and write-ups are described as the draft tracker reference point. 3. The episode asks which day-three rookies and veterans changed fantasy value most after the 2025 draft. 4. Dave Richard names Basial Tootin as his favorite day-three pick because Jacksonville took him early on Saturday. 5. Richard says Tootin is fast, not too tiny, and could become the Jaguars’ 1B back behind Tank Bigsby. 6. Richard also says Tootin could become the 1A back if Travis Etienne cannot get going. 7. Chris Trapasso says Tootin could have been a day-two pick and cites his 4.32 speed and 40-inch vertical. 8. Trapasso points to Tootin’s Virginia Tech production, North Carolina A&T transfer path, and all-around running ability. 9. The hosts then review historical data showing only five day-three or undrafted running backs became real fantasy standouts in 15 years. 10. The running backs named in that group are Alfred Morris, Jordan Howard, Bucky Irving, James Robinson, and Phillip Lindsay. 11. The receiver comparison in that historical section is Puka Nacua, who is described as the only day-three rookie receiver with a 1,000-yard season in 15 years. 12. Trapasso highlights Jacory Krosky Merritt as a seventh-round running back for Washington with size, elusiveness, sharp cutting ability, contact balance, and strong testing numbers. 13. Jaden Blue gets mentioned as a fifth-round Cowboys pick who can catch passes and may land in a complementary role behind Javonte Williams. 14. The Browns’ second-round Quinton Judkins pick is weighed against fourth-round Dylan Sampson, with Dave and Chris calling it a thunder-and-lightning combination. 15. Trapasso says Sampson may be more likely to hit the long run, while Judkins should handle short yardage and four-minute offense work. 16. Chris Trapasso says Taj Brooks can complement Chase Brown in Cincinnati and may push him over time after the Bengals drafted Brooks in the sixth round. 17. The tone is analytical and conversational, with frequent cross-checking of draft tracker notes, rankings, and testing metrics. 18. The format mixes quick debate, player-by-player evaluation, and occasional jokes between Adam Azer, Dave Richard, and Chris Trapasso. 19. Listeners who care about rookie running backs and dynasty draft value will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting only final-season outcomes or broad recap may want to skip it.
