0:00I recently took a trip to Memphis for the FFT Draft-A-Thon.
0:03While we were there, we also got to experience a little bit of what makes Memphis so special, including some of the food the city is famous for.
0:12We had Memphis-style barbecue with pulled pork, ribs, and all the classic sides.
0:16It was an incredible trip, especially getting to spend time with everyone involved, enjoy some great local food, and support a cause
0:22that means so much to all of us. And while I was away enjoying the trip, my place back home was just sitting empty.
0:29It got me thinking, if you're going to be away anyway, why not put that space to use?
0:35While you're traveling or taking off for a long weekend, you could list your space on Airbnb and earn some extra cash while you're gone.
0:42And when big events come to your city, like a major game, concert, festival, or convention, travelers are looking for places to stay.
0:49Listing your space on Airbnb can be a way to welcome those visitors to your city while putting your space to work
0:56and earning some extra cash that you can put toward your next trip.
1:00Your home might be worth more than you think.
1:03Find out how much at Airbnb.com slash host. All right.
1:06Before we get back to football, I want to tell you about something I learned recently and something that's worth passing along.
1:12It's called We Share Health, and it's an alternative to traditional health insurance.
1:16If you don't get health insurance through work and you're stuck paying boatloads for your own health insurance, you should know that health insurance isn't your only option.
1:24More than 1.7 million Americans have chosen an alternative called healthcare sharing, and one company I learned about is We Share Health.
1:31They're a nonprofit, and their members pay up to 60% less than they would for traditional health insurance.
1:36You still get access to a nationwide PPO network with over a million physicians, plus unlimited telehealth.
1:42So if you're between jobs or self-employed, this could save you thousands of dollars a year.
1:46And with over a million physicians in the network, there's a good chance your current doctors are already in it.
1:52If this sounds interesting to you, take a few minutes to check it out.

2:01Must-haves for draft weekend part one right now on Fantasy Football Today.
2:04Press. Adam and Dave here. All right, Adam. So let's start with pizza, and you don't need just one.
2:10You're going to need like three or four. That's a must-have.
2:13Wings. I mean, it's football, so wings and football kind of go together.
2:17Nachos should be there. I'm not big on beverages.
2:20It doesn't have to be adult beverages or kids' beverages, but maybe a mix of both.
2:25Always a good idea. Yeah, but it sounds like you're just throwing a Super Bowl party.
2:30There's got to be some distinction. Well, this is the party before the season starts, and the Super Bowl party is the party when the season ends.
2:38Same exact menu? Yes. Okay. All right. As long as you eat healthy in between, which we all know I will do.
2:44Of course. Players you must draft. Let's start with that.
2:47These are players who have a very favorable CBS ADP, according to me.
2:51Nico Collins at 25.5. Third round Nico Collins. I could absolutely buy into that.
2:56Same thing with Chris Olave. Like, the range that Olave is going in.
2:59I understand people are taking him as a top 30 guy.
3:03He's closer to a top 20 guy for me.
3:05Ramadre Stevenson is starting to get the respect that a lead running back deserves.
3:10He's going at the end of round six. In CBS ADP, I think he should be going, like, early round six.
3:16Maybe even late round five if it's half PPR or non-PPR.
3:19And then two guys that we've talked about a lot at wide receiver.
3:23Parker Washington. Chris Godwin. The memo is not out there yet to everybody.
3:27Maybe in the high stakes leagues it is. But Parker Washington still going in that same range as Ramadre Stevenson.
3:33Are you serious? He should be higher. Godwin going a full round after that.
3:37He should be going higher than that, too. And one last thing.
3:41Four. I'm sorry. Five tight end ADPs. Brock Bowers at 26.
3:44Trey McBride at 27. Colson Loveland at 41. Tucker Craft at 74.
3:48Isaiah Likely at 92. All five of these guys.
3:51Too low. Get one of them at value, will you?
3:54And that 92 for Isaiah Likely, that's the highest you're going to see.
3:57I mean, he's lower than that everywhere else, basically.
4:00Dave, how about the players that we're avoiding? Players you must avoid?
4:04Well, you never want to draft a quarterback at cost and certainly reach for a quarterback, assuming it's a one QB league.
4:10Josh Allen's ADP on CBS. 20.8. So 21st overall late round two.
4:14I'm proud of you guys for not taking Josh Allen in round one.
4:18I have seen drafts firsthand. And Josh Allen goes at 12th overall.
4:21It makes me sad inside. But he is probably the most egregious, as is Dak Prescott at 62nd overall.
4:27That's early round six. Too rich for my blood on Dak Prescott.
4:31But the whole teaching point here is wait for your quarterback.
4:34Steal one from the rest of your league. You don't have to purposely wait for one, but you definitely want to feel like you're getting a good value.
4:43Kyron Williams ADP has dropped into early round three.
4:45I think that's a round two. I cam Scadaboo is in early round four.
4:49I think that's around and a half to I Harold Fannin at 70.9 overall.
4:54Okay. There's a tight end that I just don't think has a good ADP at this point.
4:59That's round six. He should be around eight and Tony Pollard at 72nd.
5:03And I'm sure people see Tony Pollard and they go, oh, it's the last lead running back that's available to me in a fantasy draft.
5:10I should go get him. No, you shouldn't because he's going to split.
5:14And it's a bad offensive line. And it's a team that's probably going to have negative game script for the run game.
5:21You can let somebody else get Tony Pollard on your team.
5:24You will thank yourself later for it. How about some late round sleepers that we need to know?
5:29Ja'Kory Kroski merits ADP as 104th overall. That's round eight.
5:32And if that's the range he's going in, that's a bargain.
5:36And I understand that there's risk and uncertainty about his role, about his availability.
5:40But we know he's fast and we know he's put on a little muscle.
5:44And we know that he's trying to expand his role in the offense.
5:48And yeah, the offensive line is not great. They'll be without Laramie Tunsell for most of the year, if not all the year.
5:55I think Ja'Kory Kroski merit is worth the gamble if it's round eight.
5:59Some other players that I like. Nine, buddy. Isn't that round nine?
6:02Isn't that round? No. No. Oh, yeah, it is round nine.
6:06Here I am messing up the round orders. This is your bit, not mine.
6:10Yes, that is round nine. Good for you for knowing that 104th is round nine and not round eight.
6:16And that's even better. I just said that merit in round eight is okay.
6:20And I would take him in late round eight.
6:23Round nine is even better. So here we go.
6:25Players that are going to be in round 10 plus.
6:28You've heard me talk at nauseam about Casey Concepcion, one of my favorite guys to target.
6:33Dalton Kincaid is a great tight end to begin the season with if you whiff on the other tight ends.
6:39Josh Downs, Jaden Reed, Jalen Coker, whether it's me or somebody else on the show, we've given you reasons why those three
6:46wide receivers have huge upside this year. Targets are a big issue in the case of Downs and Reed.
6:51I think they'll have a lot of them. Coker was just as good as Ted Arroyo and McMillan last year.
6:57And I would imagine he's going to see a lot of single coverage and be a good, capable bench receiver for fantasy managers.
7:04You're in that round 10 plus range. Put a star next to their name in your rankings.
7:09You're going to want to have at least one of them on your team.
7:14How about handcuffs? Last minute news that could change the rankings.
7:17That's coming up after this break on Fantasy Football Today Express.
7:20Football season is here and my routine has completely fallen apart, but my busy schedule isn't waiting for me to catch up.
7:27I was desperate to start eating real food again without spending hours in the kitchen and Factor made that transition totally effortless.
7:34They offer chef crafted dietician designed meals that are ready in just two minutes with zero prep and zero mess.
7:40Over 97% of users agree that Factor helps them live a healthier life, mostly because every single meal eliminates over 175 banned
7:46ingredients so you know you're getting clean nutrition. Their weekly menu features over 100 nutrient-dense options and I've been loving their garlic roasted chicken and green beans.
7:54It's delicious, satisfying, and keeps me on track no matter how chaotic my day gets.
7:59I use Factor and you should too. Let's eat real.
8:02Head to factormeals.com slash FFT50off and use code FFT50off to get 50% off and one free breakfast item per box for one

8:12FFT50off at factormeals.com. See website for more details. Back at it here with Dave Richard giving you the things that you need to know going into draft weekend.
8:21So yeah, handcuffs slash backup running backs to stash.
8:23Blake Corum is at the top of the list and is now one of the players I am intentionally targeting.
8:29I would go late round eight for Blake Corum.
8:32Certainly round nine, which is 102nd ADP would suggest.
8:35I just think that there's a chance where he can be potentially the guy that plays a little bit more in the
8:41Rams run game in a season where the Rams are going to run the ball a lot because game scripts will be favorable for them.
8:49Another player. I'm happy to take the chance on there.
8:52Chuba Hubbard has been left for dead by the dip on him.
8:56107th overall. He's not flashy, but he's healthy. We know about Jonathan Brooks history.
9:00Those two are going to play in tandem. If Brooks were to miss time, Chuba Hubbard goes right back to being a number two fantasy running back.
9:08If Kyle Monunga slips, I would take him. Mike Washington, Tyler Algier.
9:12We know that the running backs in front of those guys have ankle injuries.
9:16We don't know how severe they are. I would at least carry those guys into week one, maybe make a decision toward
9:22the end of the week before their games on whether or not I want to carry them through week one.
9:28I probably would want to do that. And Jonah Coleman has been one of my favorite late round picks just because he's the guy behind J.K.
9:36Dobbins in Denver. RJ Harvey passing downs role. I think he's locked into that.
9:40I think Coleman can take on a sizable amount of the work if Dobbins were to miss time and he might even
9:47have a decent, decent amount of work if J.K.
9:50Dobbins is healthy. Honestly, the way you and Jamie have talked about Jonah Coleman, the way I think you value J.K.
9:56Dobbins, I just don't even know why anyone would draft RJ Harvey.
10:00If I don't. He's third for me on the Broncos.
10:03Yeah, I might. And I think Harvey might have a little bit bigger role than he had last year.
10:08If that's the case, then J.K. Dobbins is a bad pick.
10:12That's unfortunate. I'm not sure that the Broncos running backs are great picks, but sure.
10:16The good news is that you're not spending. You shouldn't spend one of your first seven picks on any of these guys.
10:23And if you want to take shots in the double digit rounds, Dobbins won't be there.
10:28But and Harvey probably won't be there either. I guess it's just Coleman that you're going for.
10:33Or let's let's amend that instead of double digit rounds round nine plus, you might be able to get two of the
10:39three Broncos running backs, at least just to see what they have to begin the season.
10:44I just throw Emmett Johnson's name into this backup handcuff.
10:47I love that call. Yes. Yeah. Just talking to Schneier about it.
10:51He's very high on him as in this role because Ken Walker's had trouble staying healthy.
10:56Johnson is a clear number two running back there.
10:58So put my I just I don't want to speak this into existence.
11:02I know that we just dodged a bullet with Di Mercado leaving Kansas City and now he's on Dallas.
11:08If the Chiefs bring back Kareem Hunt and they could do that after week one, because then they don't have to guarantee his salary for the entire year.
11:16You know why that's happening. And it's because they want somebody who could handle passing downs work and maybe even goal line work.
11:23It would completely it would shatter the value of Kenneth Walker III.
11:27I am hoping it doesn't happen. Let's just get Kareem Hunt to Detroit so we know it won't happen.
11:32OK, OK. OK, but that is that would be last minute news that could change fantasy rankings of Kareem Hunt does sign with Kansas City before week one.
11:41Yeah. What else could change fantasy rankings at this point?
11:44Well, if Pukun Okua misses time for any reason that would take him out of the conversation for being a top five
11:51pick overall in fantasy, I think he'd still be a first round pick.
11:54But I think people would start to get a little bit skittish.
11:58Any of the running back injuries, if they're more serious than teams are letting on, which I think is going to be
12:05the case with at least one of Ashton Gentty, Jeremiah Love, Brees Hall, maybe even Christian McCaffrey.
12:10If we find out that those guys aren't necessarily 100 percent, we'll be in more of a timeshare to begin the year.
12:16I think that would affect how you go about drafting them, maybe docking them a half round.
12:21And then who's the starter in Atlanta? If Tua Tungavailoa is the foreseeable starter for the Falcons, that would make me more
12:28nervous about Drake London, less nervous about Kyle Pitts.
12:31If it's switched and it's Michael Penix, then I'd be much more excited.
12:35And that's what I'm counting on is Penix. Much more excited about Drake London, less excited about Kyle Pitts.
12:40I think at this point you have to expect Tua to win the job.
12:45Not a certainty, but Penix has barely played. I just don't know that he's quite ready yet.
12:50But I feel like the approach is Tua starts the season and quickly loses it.
12:54I don't know. Might happen in Cleveland, too, with Deshaun Watson.
12:58Absolutely. Okay, that's it for part one of the must-haves for draft weekend.
13:01Thank you very much to Dave Richard. It'd be cool if you had a frozen yogurt machine in your draft, too.
13:08I can't say that that's a must-have because that's kind of pricey and tough to get.
13:13But you know somebody in your league is going to do that thing where they're under the handle of the Froyo machine.
13:19Yeah. You're right into that. I've paid a lot of money to do that at my favorite frozen yogurt shop.
13:25You can do that with plain Greek yogurt, Dave.
13:28That sounds disgusting. How vile. We'll talk to you tomorrow on Fantasy Football Today.
