Player analysis
Player insights
A.J. Brown
NegativeValue40:32
AJ Brown is highlighted as a top-tier wide receiver that should be prioritized in 10-team leagues to avoid missing out on elite production.
Insight pageBijan Robinson
PositiveProjection15:02
Derek Brown ranks Bijan Robinson as his 1.01, projecting him to achieve a 1,000-yard rushing and 1,000-yard receiving season. Brown views him as a younger Christian McCaffrey who will benefit from check-down targets.
Insight pagePositiveValue39:09
The source suggests targeting Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs at the 1.03 in a 10-team PPR league, noting they are high-value options to anchor a double-running back start.
Insight pageBrock Bowers
NegativeValue40:06
Brock Bowers is noted as a player who typically requires a second-round draft pick, which the source suggests avoiding in favor of cheaper alternatives like Colston Loveland.
Insight pagePositiveProjection43:59
The source highlights Brock Bowers as an elite onesie position player who, when paired with Josh Allen and Jonathan Taylor, creates a significant competitive advantage in 10-team superflex leagues.
Insight pageChase Brown
PositiveValue39:40
The source identifies Chase Brown, Tyjae Spears, and Kenneth Walker as viable targets in the second round of a 10-team draft.
Insight pagePositiveValue45:46
The source suggests Chase Brown as a viable alternative to drafting Jonathan Taylor at his current price point.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
PositiveValue42:16
The source suggests taking Christian McCaffrey at the 1.10 turn in superflex drafts, allowing the drafter to then pivot to quarterback strategy in subsequent rounds.
Insight pageNegativeProjection47:31
The source views Christian McCaffrey as a binary asset: if he stays healthy, he is a top-two running back, but if he gets injured, the fantasy team is in trouble.
Insight pageNegativeValue60:00
The source notes that choosing between Christian McCaffrey and James Cook in a keeper league depends on your confidence in McCaffrey's health.
Insight pageChristian Watson
NegativeProjection44:51
The source mentions Christian Watson as a viable wide receiver option to target in the middle rounds after securing elite players at quarterback, running back, and tight end.
Insight pagePositiveValue58:55
The source is not against pulling Christian Watson up the board in drafts.
Insight pageColston Loveland
PositiveSleeper18:43
Derek Brown identifies Colston Loveland as a high-upside tight end target who can provide production similar to Trey McBride or Brock Bowers without the high draft cost. Brown notes Loveland's strong per-route metrics from the end of last season.
Insight pagePositiveSleeper40:03
Colston Loveland is described as a "cheat code" who could provide production similar to Brock Bowers but at a much lower draft cost.
Insight pageDalton Kincaid
NegativeProjection64:32
The source notes that for a trade involving Dalton Kincaid to be successful, Kincaid needs to hit his potential.
Insight pageDavante Adams
PositiveValue58:45
The source recommends being back in on Davante Adams in rounds four to five.
Insight pageDavid Montgomery
PositiveValue44:56
The source suggests David Montgomery as a solid option to fill the RB2 slot in a roster construction that prioritizes elite onesie positions early.
Insight pageDeebo Samuel
PositiveValue48:01
The source compares Deebo Samuel to last year's Keenan Allen, arguing that his ADP will not catch up to his production and he should be drafted as a WR3.
Insight pagePositiveValue48:28
The source argues Deebo Samuel is an outstanding value at his current ADP, suggesting he should be drafted in the WR3 range. Despite poor efficiency in yards per route run and first downs per route run, he remained top 10 in YAC per reception and missed tackles forced per reception while finishing as the WR29 in fantasy points per game last year.
Insight pageDerrick Henry
PositiveValue39:48
Derrick Henry is considered a fine target in the second round of a 10-team league, with the potential to fall to the third round.
Insight pagePositiveValue45:48
The source highlights Derrick Henry as a reliable veteran option to target instead of Jonathan Taylor at his current ADP.
Insight pagePositiveValue61:14
Derrick Henry is highlighted as one of the second-round running backs the source loves.
Insight pageDrake Maye
PositiveProjection21:00
The source ranks Drake Maye as their QB2 in dynasty, trailing only Josh Allen. The outlook is bolstered by a more consolidated target tree, the addition of AJ Brown and Romeo Dobbs, and the expectation that the Patriots will be in more competitive games, forcing him to throw and potentially run more.
Insight pageGarrett Wilson
PositiveValue58:41
The source suggests targeting Garrett Wilson in rounds four to five as part of a strategy to build a strong wide receiver corps.
Insight pageGeorge Kittle
NegativeProjection47:49
The source remains uncertain about George Kittle's fantasy outlook, questioning which version of the player will appear and when.
Insight pageGeorge Pickens
PositiveValue40:29
George Pickens is viewed as being in the same tier as Nico Collins, making him a solid target in that range.
Insight pageJahmyr Gibbs
PositiveValue39:09
The source suggests targeting Jahmyr Gibbs or Bijan Robinson at the 1.03 in a 10-team PPR league, noting they are high-value options to anchor a double-running back start.
Insight pageJalen Hurts
PositiveValue18:39
Derek Brown highlights Jalen Hurts as an elite onesie position target who is being dismissed by the market. Brown argues Hurts has significant rushing touchdown upside (14-15) and is a better bet than Lamar Jackson due to the surrounding offensive line and skill players.
Insight pagePositiveProjection42:16
The source views Jalen Hurts as an elite upside QB1 in superflex formats, specifically valuing his rushing production as a key asset for fantasy rosters.
Insight pageJames Cook
PositiveValue45:46
The source identifies James Cook as a preferred alternative to Jonathan Taylor at his current draft position.
Insight pagePositiveValue60:00
The source views James Cook as a strong option in PPR formats and a definite target.
Insight pageJared Goff
PositiveValue38:47
Jared Goff is recommended as a reliable late-round quarterback option who provides at least top-12 production, making him a strong pairing for high-upside rookie quarterbacks.
Insight pageJavonte Williams
PositiveValue62:46
The source suggests trading a 2.05 rookie pick for a running back like Javonte Williams in dynasty leagues.
Insight pageJaxon Smith-Njigba
NegativeBust25:22
Derek Brown is lower on Jaxon Smith-Njigba, citing concerns about Seattle's efficiency regressing and the difficulty of replicating his high receiving yardage market share from last year.
Insight pageJayden Daniels
PositiveProjection6:57
Derek Brown bumped Jaden Daniels up to QB6 following the Stefon Diggs signing, noting that the conversation for his value starts at QB4 for those willing to be aggressive.
Insight pageNegativeProjection21:00
Jayden Daniels is ranked as the QB4 in dynasty by the source. While he is a high-end prospect, the source prefers the cost-effectiveness of other options in redraft and maintains his ranking despite the Stefon Diggs acquisition.
Insight pagePositiveProjection43:46
The source recalls Jayden Daniels' rookie season as a high-performing asset that helped anchor a dominant fantasy team, emphasizing his value as a dual-threat quarterback.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
NegativeProjection44:51
The source lists Jaylen Waddle as a potential target for the rounds immediately following an elite start of Josh Allen, Jonathan Taylor, and Brock Bowers.
Insight pagePositiveValue58:41
The source suggests targeting Jalen Waddle in rounds four to five as part of a strategy to build a strong wide receiver corps.
Insight pageJonathan Taylor
PositiveProjection43:59
The source supports drafting Jonathan Taylor as part of a core trio alongside Josh Allen and Brock Bowers, provided the drafter aggressively targets wide receivers in the following three rounds.
Insight pageNegativeValue45:40
The source expresses skepticism regarding Jonathan Taylor at his current draft cost, preferring to pivot to other running backs like James Cook, Chase Brown, or Derrick Henry in that range.
Insight pageJonathon Brooks
PositiveValue27:24
The source is high on Jonathan Brooks, ranking him RB25 in dynasty. They expect him to overtake Chuba Hubbard as the lead back early in the season, at which point his value will likely climb into the top 20.
Insight pagePositiveValue62:13
The source recommends keeping Jonathan Brooks over Rico Dowdle in a keeper league.
Insight pageJosh Allen
NegativeValue41:35
The source discusses whether Josh Allen is a lock at the 1.01 in a superflex league, noting that the decision depends on the league's specific quarterback-drafting tendencies.
Insight pagePositiveProjection43:59
The source endorses a 'hero running back' start in 10-team superflex leagues that begins with Josh Allen, Jonathan Taylor, and Brock Bowers, noting that these elite onesie positions can provide a massive weekly advantage.
Insight pageKeenan Allen
NegativeValue48:00
The source notes that Keenan Allen provided a strong early-season performance last year, serving as a prime example of a player to trade away during a hot start before a potential decline.
Insight pageKenneth Gainwell
NegativeValue45:03
The source identifies Kenneth Gainwell as a late-round depth option for PPR formats to help round out a roster after securing elite starters.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveValue39:40
The source identifies Kenneth Walker, Tyjae Spears, and Chase Brown as viable targets in the second round of a 10-team draft.
Insight pagePositiveValue60:34
Kenneth Walker is moving up draft boards, currently going in the late second to early third round range, with an ADP of 15.8.
Insight pageKyler Murray
NegativeBust59:41
Derek Brown is not in on Kyler Murray this year, citing concerns about his job security and overall performance.
Insight pageKyren Williams
NegativeProjection31:57
Derek Brown expresses skepticism regarding Kyren Williams, noting that his production has been driven by volume rather than efficiency.
Insight pageMichael Pittman
NegativeBust64:51
The source expresses worry about Michael Pittman's outlook, suggesting he should be traded in-season.
Insight pageMike Evans
NegativeValue31:35
Mike Evans is ranked as the WR21 by the source. While he is a proven veteran, concerns regarding his recent injury status and the team's aging roster have led to a slight downward adjustment in rankings.
Insight pagePositiveValue47:46
The source considers Mike Evans a key target in the 49ers offense context, noting that his value depends on upcoming news.
Insight pagePositiveValue58:45
The source recommends being back in on Mike Evans in rounds four to five.
Insight pageMitchell Evans
NegativeRole59:31
The source notes that Mitchell Evans will be part of a committee, despite the injury to JT Sanders.
Insight pageNico Collins
PositiveValue40:29
Nico Collins is used as a benchmark for the draft range of George Pickens, indicating he is a desirable target in that tier.
Insight pageParker Washington
PositiveValue23:46
The source strongly advocates for keeping Parker Washington over Blake Corum in keeper leagues, stating it is not a close debate and that Washington should be prioritized over tight ends like Dallas Goedert.
Insight pagePuka Nacua
PositiveBreakout25:19
Derek Brown believes Puka Nacua has the potential to 'break fantasy' with 25-26 PPR points per game upside. Brown notes that when Nacua was a full-time player last year, he averaged 24.7 points per game, and his ceiling could increase if he sees more red-zone targets.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
PositiveValue19:50
The source ranks Judkins higher than his current market price in dynasty, noting that training camp footage shows him effectively tracking balls over the shoulder, debunking concerns about his pass-catching ability.
Insight pageNegativeBust32:05
Derek Brown is not a fan of Quinshon Judkins as a prospect, citing poor efficiency metrics in college and projecting him as an early-down back with a ceiling similar to Kyren Williams.
Insight pageRashee Rice
NegativeBust10:10
Derek Brown is fading Rashee Rice, ranking him as a fourth-round pick (WR24) due to concerns about his camp performance, off-field issues, and limited role as a player who primarily runs slants and drag routes. Brown also notes that Rice is in a contract year and unlikely to receive a major deal from Kansas City or elsewhere.
Insight pageRicky Pearsall
NegativeBreakout47:07
The source notes that while they were lower on Ricky Pearsall as a prospect than the rest of the NFL, he now has a golden opportunity in the 49ers offense.
Insight pageStefon Diggs
PositiveProjection0:47
Derek Brown has moved Stefon Diggs up in his rankings to a top-30 wide receiver, viewing him as a strong WR3. Despite being the WR23 in fantasy points per game last year while running only 65% of routes, Diggs ranked top-12 in yards per route run and first downs per route run, suggesting he remains elite on a per-route basis.
Insight pageTerry McLaurin
NegativeRole1:48
Derek Brown is not moving Terry McLaurin in his rankings following the Stefon Diggs signing, noting that the Washington passing attack will primarily run through both McLaurin and Diggs.
Insight pagePositiveValue58:41
The source suggests targeting Terry McLaurin in rounds four to five as part of a strategy to build a strong wide receiver corps.
Insight pageTony Pollard
PositiveRole20:32
Pollard is considered a plug-and-play RB2 who is not threatened by Tajay Spears. The source notes that Brian Daboll's history shows a tendency to lean on one back, and Pollard's performance last year was significantly better than the public perception.
Insight pageTravis Etienne
PositiveValue11:46
Derek Brown prefers Travis Etienne over Rashee Rice in dynasty formats, citing his contract status and a projected two-year window as a lead back.
Insight pageTyjae Spears
PositiveValue39:40
The source identifies Tyjae Spears, Chase Brown, and Kenneth Walker as viable targets in the second round of a 10-team draft.
Insight pageZay Flowers
PositiveValue58:41
The source suggests targeting Zay Flowers in rounds four to five as part of a strategy to build a strong wide receiver corps.

0:00This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. All right and welcome into Fantasy Pros Live on the YouTube channel.
0:06The NFL is certainly now the conversation in the sports world as we're just five weeks away from the regular season kicking off.
0:12We'll chat about all that today with another Q&A coming your way right here.
0:16So go ahead, drop your questions below and we'll be sure to answer as many super chats as we can get to
0:23that come in within the next 20 or so minutes.
0:26I'm your host Seth Wilcox back with a recovering Saints fan, downtown Derek Brown and D-Bro.
0:30So before we jump into the questions, I gotta ask what's your instant reaction to wide receiver Stefon Diggs officially signing with the Washington Commanders?
0:38Funny you mentioned that. Worm, Erickson and I just covered that on a tailgate episode.
0:42We just talked, literally just got off recording so that'll be live on tailgate channel today, tomorrow.
0:47We shall see. Dude, I already moved Stefan Diggs up in my rankings.
0:51I put this out on Twitter. I said he's immediately a top 30 wide receiver and everybody's like, oh wow, whatever.
0:57Oh wow. Yeah. Okay. Tell me why. Oh wow.
0:59He was wide, he was wide receiver 23 and fantasy points per game last year.
1:04So he's going to get worse. And he was elite on a per route basis, Seth.
1:08So that's Terry McLaurin. Who is he competing with for targets?
1:12Who? Big jig, baby. Big jig. Antonio Williams, two of my favorites.
1:15Dude. Antonio Williams hasn't been working with the ones.
1:18He just barely got sprinkled in an 11 on 11 yesterday.
1:21So yeah, I mean, I don't think the ADP is going to probably will move digs down whenever ADP settles of just
1:27a little bit, just staying ahead of consensus. But I think he is a strong wide receiver three.
1:33I'm not pushing him up into the top 24, but outside of him, McLaurin, like this passing attack will run through the two of them.
1:40And for everybody at home, like last year, Stefan Diggs was the wide receiver 23 and fantasy points per game.
1:46While only being the Patriots version of Christian Watson, basically running 65% of the routes.
1:50Oh, wow. But, oh, you know, by the way, he was eighth in yards per route run, eighth in first downs per route run.
1:57So top 12 in a metric we should all care about, but you know, I guess, I guess he's too old.
2:03No, I can understand that he is playing with another good quarterback and Jane Daniels will hope that health is on their side this year in Washington.
2:11Probably not a great time that yesterday. I just bet the Chig Okonkwo over 500.
2:16Oh, can you cash out? Can you cash out?
2:18I'll tell you, I'll tell you what, he's still done that, you know, two out of last four years.
2:24He's hit 450 every single year of his career.
2:26So I'm still feeling all right about that. I still think arrows are pointing.
2:30I think you're hoping. I think you're coping right now.
2:33Yeah, I think you're trying to rationalize. This is rationalized coping right now.
2:37Yeah, it's what you have to do out here, right?
2:40You know, buyer's regret only gets us so far.
2:43Thank you to everyone who's tuning in today. We appreciate D bro's instant reaction.
2:47There's just Stefan Diggs, Miranda checking in saying hello, everyone ready for some football as are we Miranda.
2:52Steve, Steven also checking in. That Abby is legit, bro.
2:55Yeah, I like that. Abby respect that. Uh, D bro.
2:58Timbo slice is asking how was the, uh, Saturday evening in New York city?
3:02Yeah, it was great, man. We, uh, I took in a play on, on Broadway.
3:06My first play ever. I'm not a huge musical guy, but a musical.
3:10Okay. There's a difference. There's a difference. Mormon was absolutely fantastic.
3:13Okay, great one. I would recommend it to everybody and anybody.
3:16It was, it was like watch it was a live action version of South park.
3:21Basically it was wonderful. Fantastic. Glad to hear that.
3:23That's always one I've been, uh, excited to see eventually.
3:26I, I've done Broadway a few times. Would not mind going back.
3:30Hamilton still is the one Oh one just for everybody.
3:33Okay. We're, we're keeping it real here. Hamilton's still the opera has got to be, I'd say a first round pick of there too.
3:40Phantom of the opera. 75 years old. Really? You're going with Phantom of the opera.
3:44That's the only one I've seen on Broadway. It pretty well.
3:47I liked it. You need to go. Have you ever watched Hamilton?
3:51Like even like on like the movie? Yes, I've seen the movie.
3:54Yes, dude. It's so good. The, the, the, the entire, like the guy that was playing the King, uh, the King was fantastic, man.
4:01Wonderful. Yes. Agreed with you there. James, we just talked about digs to commanders to go back about five minutes.
4:07I'm not moving Terry just to keep this short.
4:10Okay. James, I'm not moving Terry. I'm not touching his rank.
4:13No, but I did bump also, uh, the flip side of this too.
4:17I did bump Jaden Daniels up. I know we talked about this in Canton, Seth, the, the episode that will forever, you know, not be named.
4:24Um, but I did bump Jaden Daniels up. I'm a man of my word.
4:28We talked about this, uh, in Canton. As soon as Stefan digs sign, I bumped Jaden Daniels up to QB six, but
4:35I think the conversation starts for him at QB four.
4:38So people want to get more aggressive, totally here for it.
4:41Husky Husky saying, what's up, Seth and Debra. What's up Husky?
4:44I'm having a great day. Uh, we also have Kyle Branson, bam, bam, checking in saying also happy first episode of the new Ted Lasso season, man.
4:52Okay. I'm not a lasso guy because I have to cap it at some point.
4:56How many of these various freaking streaming services I'm going to pay for?
5:00Yeah. And I just, I had to hard cap it at like, and so Ted Lasso did not make the cut because
5:07I'm just like, eh, you're weighing all the different ones.
5:09I'm like, okay, Disney plus for the kids, YouTube TV, uh, Netflix.
5:13It's like, uh, we have prime. We also have Hulu that goes with Disney plus.
5:17It's like, I can't get into the paramount and the Apple TV and HBO and all that kind of crap.
5:23It's like, dude, at some point it's like, were we all just wrong and we should have just stuck with cable.
5:29They got us all and now we can't go back.
5:32So, you know, you gotta choose your battles, man.
5:35A company Slack channel, just like pull together all of our logins for different streaming services that we like kind of somewhat use.
5:42Like I realize you're saying this all live on YouTube at a, almost a 300 K audience.
5:46So that's all right. I got, I got probably not the best.
5:50You can run paramount. I can take your Hulu login, you know, do a little there.
5:55You're walking through all of this in real time.
5:57Live on air. That's all right. Why? Password sharing will continue to save the day.
6:02Uh, speaking of saving the day, we got, uh, a great question here from Panda asking, what's up?
6:07Fancy pros, Rashi Rice or Travis ETN? Who do you want?
6:10Redraft or dynasty? I mean, yeah, but there's some point though, when Rashee Rice becomes a value, I think in, in, you know, at least redraft purposes.
6:18So dynasty though, no dynasty. I am concerned. I'd still take him just because of the value and then try to move
6:24him because I think you can get more. Um, at the same time though, like when it comes to overall, like, you
6:31know, fantasy redraft rankings, where are you at right now on Rashi Rice?
6:35I think I have a backend, you know, second round pick currently.
6:38Oh, I don't have him that high. I really buried.
6:41Yeah. I just, he looks like he's running in mud in camp right now, dude.
6:45I just, I can't, the guy also like he just continually does idiotic stuff.
6:49Like basically anytime that he has off time. Yeah.
6:52I'm not really in on the, uh, the jail rehab.
6:55He doesn't look spry in camp. I've got him as a fourth round pick right now.
7:00I've got him at wide receiver 24. So anybody from my ranks is not going to get any of Rashi Rice.
7:06And I I'm fine with that. Like from a dynasty perspective, it would be Travis ETN for me, uh, only because of the contract.
7:13I think he has like a two year run window to be the lead back.
7:17Hopefully the red zone guy, I think Camara is going to hurt him some this year, but this is probably Camara's last year.
7:24So outside of that dynasty circles, I'd take ETN and, um, because Rashi Rice is in a contract year and he's not
7:30nearly as young as people think he is. So I think there is no chance the Kansas city chiefs pay him.
7:36And for all the stupidity that he's had off the field, I don't see any franchise that's going to be lining up
7:43to like, make this guy a paid man. Like tell me this, Seth, what do you think the chances are where she
7:49rice gets like a four year, a hundred million deal from any team, much less a two year deal.
7:55It's going to be low. It's going to be low, right?
7:58It is. And it's not because of the production on the field.
8:01It's because of all the, all the off the field shenanigans, right?
8:05It's off the field stuff, but it's also like, it's not like he's been able to stay healthy and stuff too.
8:11The other thing about it, he's a very limited player.
8:14He is a very limited player. What he does in that offense.
8:17You could ask a billion other guys in the NFL right now to just run drag routes and slants all freaking day.
8:24Okay. Sure. We can draft a guy in round five to do that.
8:28Oh yeah. He does a good job at doing the role that Andy Reed wants him to, you know, portray, but at
8:34the same time, I can understand that. Um, the running back check down option out of the backfield.
8:39Yeah. Yeah. Uh, here's a Marquise Alley checking in saying Gibbs still a first round pick with the hold in Derek.
8:45I mean, I still about the one-on-one personally. Um, I just believe more in the lions offense than I do the Falcon.
8:52So I'm actually now pro Jamir Gibbs at the one-on-one where are you at Gibbs versus Bijan versus kind of that top
8:58tier of, of player right there with those three elite wide receivers as well.
9:02Uh, I have been, I remain Bijan at a one-on-one only because I fully believe this is the year that he will
9:09have the fourth ever season of one K one K by running back.
9:13I think he's going to hit it this year.
9:15I think to, uh, I don't think Penix is going to be the quarterback.
9:19So check down two is going to be there.
9:22I think Bijan is probably going to be like fighting to be the wider super two on that team as far as targets.
9:29So I just look at Bijan as younger Christian McCaffrey.
9:31Sure. The offense is not amazing when you look at that versus the lions.
9:36The other thing about it with Gibbs is like, could he spike 20 touchdowns and bury me this year?
9:41Yeah, that absolutely could happen. The other parts of the Gibbs profile are that, I mean, I still think that this team
9:47is live to trade for a James Connor. I think that we still can't say that that is not possible.
9:53So if that is still somewhere in the ether, as well as there's still a crap ton of really good players that
10:00are also going to get touchdowns in this offense with, I'm going to say Brown, Sammy ball game coming back and then JMO and stuff.
10:07So it's not like there aren't other talented guys in this offense too, to where, yeah, Gibbs could spike 20 touchdowns and bury me and crush.
10:15But there's also a point of like, if you look at all the splits last year, he wasn't Christian McCaffrey esque through
10:21the passing game until Laporta was out. And so if Laporta is going to take a, you know, be the clear number
10:27two in this passing attack right now, that's going to hurt Gibbs.
10:31Yeah. Yeah. Totally understand that. Um, really great question here from Nick checking in as well.
10:36Derek saying I'm in a 10 team PPR league.
10:38Do the elite onesies become more or less important to make sure you get, and Nick's been watching the show.
10:44We've, we've hammered this point over how many different live streams.
10:47Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I think, you know, not to bury the lead, but you have to go after those onesie positions a
10:54little bit more where I'm comfortable fading, you know, quarterbacks at the top of the board in a 12 man league in
11:0010, I'm much more inclined to go after one of these top five, six guys.
11:04I think so. The two guys that I will highlight to try to get Nick that can give you elite upside at
11:11the onesie positions in quarterback and tight end that you don't have to draft inside of the top two or pay up like as much for other players.
11:19And Seth, you probably already know where I'm going with this is Jalen hurts.
11:23Yep. And Colston Loveland. Jalen hurts is being dismissed.
11:26He's being like, he has all of the same freaking risk factors as Lamar Jackson, but nobody talks about it.
11:32Yeah. New OC, new, new transition. Give me the Philly offensive line and skill players over Baltimore situation and hurts as a
11:38rusher, as a goal line threat and all that kind of stuff.
11:41Hurts could still spike 14 to 15 rushing touchdowns this year.
11:45Lamar's not getting close to that number and we could see the first year because everybody that says, Oh, Jalen hurts can't
11:51throw over the middle of the field. Uh, I point to all of the camp notes right now and what he's doing
11:57in camp to say that you're wrong and it's idiotic, but with Loveland, you could get a run out close to, if
12:04not very similar to Brock Bowers and you're not paying for it, if he can match Trey McBride or Brock Bowers on
12:10a per route basis and all the numbers and he was the dude last year, he crushed McBride and Brock Bowers in
12:17week 16 through 20 and every single per route metric over those last two years.
12:21And that's, I mean, I'm talking about the last two tight end ones in fantasy and Loveland was doing that.

13:30We'd really appreciate that. And let's keep it moving here.
13:32We got some more fun questions coming in. This next one is courtesy of it's okay to laugh Derek, because it is always okay to laugh.
13:40Thoughts on the QB RB stacks in general, better to have a mobile quarterback like Hertz and Barkley, Allen and cook, et
13:46cetera, or a pocket passer like Burrow and Chase Brown, Dak and Javante Williams.
13:51What's your approach here on the QB RB stack?
13:53Is that something you're really going out for it?
13:56Are you shying away from that type of method?
13:58I'm not shying away from it, but I'm also not going to go like head over heels to try to make sure it happens.
14:05I think when you're looking at QB RB stacks, this really is just, you're investing in the offense and you're saying with
14:12your chest that the offense is going to be good.
14:15And if you're, if you're doing that, it's just, I'm fine with however people want to do that.
14:20If it happens, if it doesn't, I would say I'm less in on Barkley.
14:24I'm more in on Hertz. Allen and cook is totally fine.
14:27Again, you're making the bet. If you go for the running back that one, he's going to be the clear bell cow
14:34where the red zone guy, like easily. And you're making a bet that the offense is going to be good because of both of these guys cook.
14:41Then the offense is top five, top 10 and scoring then, then that's how you win.
14:46So. Okay. All right. Like that. Um, here we got another question coming in as well from bam, bam, same boys starting at pick five.
14:53Should I be looking at CMC or Puka slash JSN slash I'll, I'll throw chase out there to kind of feel conflicted
15:00since I've CMC and Puka in dynasty Derek, for me, there's that top clear.
15:04It's the two top running backs in B John and Gibbs.
15:07And then it's chase Puka and JSN is kind of that next year for me.
15:12So I would be looking at those wide receivers as opposed to CMC.
15:15What about yourself? Um, I'm fine with Puka or CMC here.
15:19Um, I'm lower on JSN only because I worry Seattle because they're otherworldly efficient last year, taking a step back because of Kubiak and just natural regression.
15:26So, and dude, like you're looking at also team reception, like receiving yardage, receiving yardage market share.
15:31JSN put up just insane. Like he was at almost like 45% of the freaking teams receiving yards.
15:37Like that also in itself is really, really tough to replicate year over year.
15:41I look at Puka. And, um, I've been workshopping this take.
15:44I think he could break fantasy this year in the sense of if you look at just the red zone, first read
15:50share, if it evens out between him and Adams and, and just in the sense of this year, or if Puka takes
15:57over that role over Adams, Puka has like legit 25, 26 PPR point per game upside.
16:01Like if you look at just the weeks where last year, he was a full-time player, like, cause he also got hurt
16:08week seven, miss week eight, take those two out.
16:10He averaged 24.7 PPR points per game. Seth Puka did.
16:13So, and then we're playing the touchdown game. If we just flip this on its head and say, Puka didn't get 10 receiving touchdowns last year.
16:21If he got 14, that's 26 PPR points per game.
16:24Seth. Yeah. That's the type of ceiling that Puka has.
16:27And as good as chase is, I don't think he's, he's going to be able to step into that rarefied air.
16:33Like where chase like at his best has been like a 23, 22 kind of point guy.
16:38Right. Um, I think Puka could break fantasy and CMC.
16:41It's just a bad of it's a binary decision.
16:43Does he stay healthy or does he not? If he stays healthy, he's a top two running back.
16:49If he doesn't, you're screwed. So really that's what it comes down to.
16:52Yeah. Risk tolerance there in the first round is always something to keep in mind.
16:57Derek Brown reminding us there. And, uh, we also have Ken patchy checking in saying, uh, I have the number two pick in a dynasty rookie draft.
17:05Should I pick Mendoza or Tate? I'm currently holding may next Daniel Jones and Shador Sanders as my quarterback.
17:10My wide receivers are Devonta Smith, uh, Parker Washington, Malik neighbors, tank Dell, Ted McMillan, Pierce Saul and neighbors.
17:16So pretty good at both positions. Yeah. It looks like he's got two Malik neighbor shares too, which is always great.
17:22I'm just kidding. But, uh, you know, that's how the question was phrased there.
17:26Derek, for me, like I'm still going Fernando here.
17:28I just think it's a better value at, at that one Oh two pick overall.
17:33Like I don't mind if you want to pivot to Carnell Tate.
17:36I just think there's a better floor with super flex value at the quarterback position here for rookies.
17:42Um, I could make you a case for either one of these guys and his room is really, really good.
17:47The only thing I'll say with this is I think I would go Tate, but I, you can make me a case for either one of these.
17:55I feel really good about your quarterback room here with may Nixon, Jones and Sanders.
18:00I think the, the other thing that I'd be doing, Ken, I think Shador is going to win this job.
18:05As soon as he wins that job, you flip him for a 27 or 28 second, uh, in super flex.
18:11And maybe you go address the QB room after this, you know, it, the other thing I'm fine.
18:17If you wanted to take Mendoza and then put Jones and Sanders on the block and try to upgrade one of these wide receivers.
18:24So however you feel like with your league, you can best approach that.
18:27I think in a vacuum, I'm still going to go Carnell Tate only because the only thing about like with quarterbacks and
18:34super flex, and I'm here for Mendoza and super flex is it's hard to trade guys.
18:38It's hard to do all that kind of stuff.
18:41Like I, I think Tate is the guy that probably has just a little bit more value when it's all said and
18:47done after the rookie year, because there is, there is a run out where Carnell Tate could put up rookie season, Malik neighbors type of numbers.
18:55If quite, if Cam Ward can be good. And if that's the case, he's going to be like on that close, like
19:01to close to untouchable list, um, after this year.
19:04Okay. And another dynasty question coming in here from Palva saying dynasty trade one Oh five and Mononga for either Judkins or
19:10Kyron, or should I just hold the pick and drafted Aaron price there?
19:14So hold the pick Derek, Darian price versus Judkins and Mononga.
19:17Okay. I'm taking price type. I'm taking price over Judkins or Kyron, uh, Kyron his, I mean, it's all just been volume, not much efficiency.
19:25Judkins, we talked about this ad nauseum on the NFL draft show.
19:28I was never on him as a prospect. Um, the efficiency stuff, um, was not there in college.
19:33If you look at it on a per touch basis, I don't think that he's going to turn into this otherworldly pass
19:40catcher more of like an early down, like in his best, probably a Kyron type of run out for Judkins.
19:46Give me your Darian price, man. I, I just, I love the archetype.
19:50I'm willing to invest on it for everybody that says that he can't catch footballs.
19:54I point to training camp clips of him tracking balls over the shoulder and making it look easy.
19:59So I have Judkins a little bit higher than price in my dynasty rankings right now, but I don't think the gap is quite common on guy.
20:07If you want to make that pivot, I'm fine with it.
20:10But at the same time, I think, you know, let's keep those assets in house as Derek Brownstone's right now.
20:16Uh, Jason up next saying, uh, 10 player, a half point PPR keeper league, one quarterback, two running back, two wide receiver, one tight end, two flex.
20:24I'm keeping Drake may Montgomery, Judkins, London, Olave, Wilson, flowers, more and crap.
20:28Give me one more to keep between Tony Pollard, Blake Corm or Kyle Manonga.
20:32You've been the Pollard guy again this year. Are you going right back to the well?
20:36Yeah. It's Pollard. He's, he's, he's a plug and play RB to not worried about Tajay Spears.
20:41If you go back through all of Brian Dayball's history, he leans on one back consistently.
20:46And Pollard was way better than people remember last year.
20:49Yeah, absolutely. Cam, I'm seeing your super chat come in.
20:52I don't see a question attached to that though.
20:54So go ahead and throw that question and we'll, we'll be sure to try to get to that man.
21:00Um, Jane Daniels, as compared to Drake may this year and redraft, like I like Drake may, he was a guy, I
21:06think we were all on pretty heavily in redraft a year ago.
21:10He honestly put me in position to make some deep runs in the playoffs, Derek, but at the same time, I'd rather
21:16just take a little bit more cost effectiveness and go after JD honey than I would, uh, you know, taking my shot
21:23here on Drake may I'm going Drake, man. Um, I understand the difference in costs and, and to your point of that, like, yeah, that's fine.
21:30I think who am I, who do I have a ranked higher?
21:34Who do I feel better about this year is Drake may.
21:37I mean, Drake may is my QB two in ranks right now, man.
21:41He's behind only Josh Allen. Like I think the stuff, the stuff with may, it comes down to you see a tougher schedule this year.
21:48You see increased, uh, skill position players around him with adding AJ Brown and Romeo Dobbs.
21:53Um, as well as, you know, I reared in as far as two tight end sets for them.
21:58It's not going to be this hodgepodge of like this mishmash of like wide receivers, more consolidated target tree, better talent around him.
22:05Yeah. We get Will Campbell fully healthy. I think the other part about this is the Patriots man.
22:10Like last year, this was like a previous year of Philadelphia Eagles conversation where they were blowing out teams in the first
22:16half and took their foot off the gas in the second half with a tougher schedule.
22:21They're not, I don't think they're going to have the ability to do that this year.
22:26So, right. Yeah. Yeah. So could we see Drake may reach another, uh, point in his career where the stats look even
22:32better this year because they're forced to freaking throw the ball more.
22:36Yeah. And honestly, like a big reason I was high on Drake may last year is yes.
22:41I thought the passing was going to be efficient.
22:43I wasn't thinking 30 plus touchdowns, right? That I was thinking more, he would carry it with his legs and we saw
22:50him do that at times, but yeah, I think he might even have to roll out a little bit more, um, and
22:56push the ball downfield with the Patriots being in more competitive games.
23:00As far as Jane Daniels, we were talking about him from a redraft perspective in dynasty right now.
23:05If you go to fancy pros.com slash rankings, go over to the dynasty tab.
23:09He is overall number three in our super flex rankings.
23:12Is that right where you're keeping him or would you be moving him up or down the rankings based on this Stefan digs move?
23:19If at all, I'm not moving them up and down in dynasty.
23:22I mean, I think you're looking at Daniels. He is who he is.
23:26Drake may as my QB two in dynasty hurts is three and Daniels is four for me.
23:31I'm not moving it based off of like one year.
23:34Stefan digs. Okay. It makes sense there. Uh, here's Steve checking in Steve Sweeney.
23:38Uh, wonder if he is maybe, uh, the brother of Sydney Sweeney, just, uh, potentially, uh, keepers league full PPR two super flex, no defense, no kickers.
23:46Do I keep Parker Washington in the 10th or Blake Corman in the 13th?
23:50You gotta go Parker. This isn't even close. This isn't even a debate for me.
23:54It's Parker Washington and I will fight all, all incomers about it.

25:49Limitations, terms, and conditions apply. Do you have a favorite Sidney Sweeney movie?
25:53No. No. Are you a fan of Sidney Sweeney at all?
25:56No. Really? You didn't like the Spider Girl movie?
25:58That wasn't a bad one. That movie was so horrible that I watched part of the trailer, I couldn't even finish the trailer.
26:05If I can't finish the trailer, then I'm sure as hell not watching the movie.
26:10No. Never Sidney Sweeney. No. She's had some good movies.
26:12That was not one of them, though. I will be fair.
26:16That was not my favorite. Too many good actors and actresses for me to even care about Sidney Sweeney.
26:21Ever. Okay. All right. Well, sorry, Steve. Sorry to bash your last name there.
26:25Will Power. Maybe the F1 driver here. Will Power.
26:28Saying, I have a 20-keeper league that has yet to draft the 2026 rookies or veterans that haven't been kept.
26:34League vote to switch to Dynasty. Should I do this before or after the draft or end of season?
26:39Oh, man. Okay. See, I don't like the prospect of switching a keeper league to Dynasty.
26:44No. Just start another league. Just start another league.
26:47Yeah. I'm not doing that. Yeah. Yeah. You can have two leagues.
26:50Like, it's okay. You can even take the same people and have, like, a keeper league and have a Dynasty league.
26:56And at the end of the year, it's like, okay, which one do we want to keep or cut or what have you?
27:03Or just keep running both. Like, having more leagues is not a bad thing.
27:07But, no, I wouldn't be switching. I would just start up a new Dynasty.
27:11Everybody learns together. It feels unfair because the players who drafted last year for keeper, that is a different sense than drafting for Dynasty, right?
27:18It's a totally different mode. Like, it's just different, man.
27:21Yeah. Yeah. Here's a really fascinating one from Austin.
27:24What's up, Austin? I know we're having a great Wednesday afternoon with us saying, how high is too high on Jonathan Brooks?
27:30D, bro, his Dynasty ranking right now for running back is up in, like, RB28.
27:35And right now we're seeing for redraft 116 overall, RB39.
27:38Is that right in line with you? Do you think we're getting a little over our skis on Jonathan Brooks?
27:43How high is too high on the former Texas Longhorn there?
27:47I don't. I mean, as long as he's not pushed up into the top 24 in redraft rankings, I think we're fine.
27:53And as far as Dynasty rankings, I've got him at RB25.
27:56And as soon as week one hits and he out carries Chuba Hubbard and he looks like a freaking stud, I'm going
28:03to push him up into my top 20. I love Jonathan Brooks.
28:06Like, you're all in. Dude, well, I said this.
28:09I was out there. Like, people can go find tweets and stuff.
28:12Like, I said this before. It was cool, man.
28:15Like, I put this out in, like, I think December.
28:18Like, Jonathan Brooks, this is always, like, the possible runout for him.
28:21And it's like, you know, people get scared about being too early and stuff like that.
28:26Yeah, well, you know what? When you're late to the party, you got to pay the tax.
28:31Do you have to pay? Because I feel like usually the people who show up to the parties are the ones who, like, come up.
28:38They maybe don't even, like, bring any food or bring any beer and they just kind of show up real quick.
28:44If you're late, you better be walking in with a bottle of wine or some kind of, like, app.
28:50If you're late, you can't show up late. Like, it's not fashionably late if you walk in with absolutely nothing.
28:56Like, you don't get a reprieve. It's okay. It's okay.
28:59Yeah, that's fair. You're late to the party. You can just go back home.
29:03We've already started partying without you. It's cool. Yeah, good point.
29:06Good point. Miranda checking in with a super chat.
29:08We appreciate that very much. Saying, would you drop Dallas Goddard to pick up Parker Washington?
29:13I have Jake Ferguson, Isaiah Likely. Absolutely. I don't even need to know the format.
29:17Yeah, Parker Washington is beyond every format. You don't need three tight ends.
29:21You need Parker Washington over any one of these tight ends.
29:24Drop everyone. Whatever. Parker Washington. In Dynasty, is Parker Washington for Brooks too much?
29:29I think it is, personally. I'd rather have Parker.
29:31It is, but what I will say is when we get to the middle of the season, it might not look like it.
29:38But I think the answer is both of these guys, Dynasty.
29:41Okay. Seeing our pal Awesome Dev checked in. I got to see him over a couple weekends ago out there in Canton, Ohio.
29:48Shout out to Dev. Him and the Queen of Beans somewhere on a yacht somewhere in the Mediterranean.
29:53It's a wonderful time to be Dev. Well, I learned actually, like he does not have a yacht.
29:58This is just lore. Don't listen to that. This is Fancy Pro's lore.
30:02No, no. He's just bearing it. No, no, no, no, no.
30:05Is he just too kind? He doesn't want people to think.
30:08He might just not want you on the yacht, Seth.
30:11I don't know. Who knows? Wow. Now I'm. Dev is free to comment in the chat.
30:16I will let Dev weigh in on this. Now I'm hurt, honestly.
30:20That's. Now I just struck my core. Maybe he just doesn't want you on the sun deck.
30:24I mean, as wide as you are, sir, you might be blinding people.
30:28That's fair. That is very, very fair. I'm saying this and I'm even whiter than you are.
30:33Like I'm clear. So, you know, take it for what it is.
30:37I feel like the only sun I get these days is like the five hours a week I spend out in my
30:43yard and, you know, cutting the grass, doing weeding.
30:46That's about. And then maybe I get a Frisbee golf game.
30:49How small a yard? It takes you five minutes, homie.
30:52Dude, my yard is big, Derek, and it has a lot of hills and elevation and old stumps I got to work around.
30:59No, it's like a five hour project, man. It is a full evening of time.
31:03Do you go full bucket hat? Do you go full bucket hat and you have like a six pack of Bush Apple just sitting on the riding lawnmower?
31:11I don't like to drink beer while I'm on the lawnmower because then sometimes.
31:15That's a fair point. That's a fair point. It can get in the beer.
31:19I mean, you can you can lose an appendage.
31:22You can come up, you know, like trying to trying to edit software with like no thumbs, you know, like the next day.
31:29Who knows? Ain't happening, bro. Someone's got to keep this YouTube channel flow.
31:32Right. So why is Mike Evans not ranked higher, Derek?
31:35Right now, currently 51 overall in our fantasy pros.
31:38I don't know. ECR, fantasypros.com slash rankings. Wide receiver 25.
31:41Banged up Kittle. No pierce all. Ghost of Debo.
31:43Other than CMC. Mike Evans also banged up too.
31:46But that is the issue. And this is kind of where I'm trying to wrap my head around it, Derek, because I've
31:52slowly like all summer long, just like last year, moving Mike Evans up every couple of weeks in my rankings, I've got
31:59him to 23 overall and I feel scared to death about that ranking that I'm too high.
32:0423 overall or you mean 23rd wide receiver? 23 wide receivers.
32:07Yeah. 23 overall. 23 overall, bro. You are, you are in.
32:10I won't, I won't make that mistake again. He was like, I think maybe 28 for me last year.
32:16I was high on him, but. I got a wide receiver 21 in my ranks.
32:20Like I, I bumped it down a little bit.
32:23Are you worried about the injuries though? Especially like.
32:25I am. Something's weird about that substation, man. Like I'm not trying to throw on the tinfoil hat, but it just feels bad vibes, man.
32:33Let's have a conversation about the substation here. Look at all the guys that have gotten hurt.
32:38They're like 90% of them are, are older, like mature veteran players.
32:41Like this is just an older player conversation. Like then it is anything related to a freaking substation like Christian Kirk.
32:47Well, he can't stay healthy. Dejan Stribbling is a rookie and so many rookies in the ramp up part of camp.
32:53How many hamstrings and problems do we see soft tissue wise rookies?
32:57Because a lot of these rookies, that's, that's the thing that kind of gets buried.
33:01Like people don't understand also in the pre-draft process when you're on flights and you're doing visits and you're doing all this
33:08kind of crap in the, in the pre NFL draft process.
33:11Do you still have the time to work out and eat the way that you're supposed to and get sleep and do all these things?
33:18No, you don't. And so like people don't equate like the, the human part of like rookies and the pre-draft process and stuff.
33:25So it's like, but again, like go down the laundry list.
33:28Like it's like, okay, well, Christian McCaffrey has been hurt in previous seasons.
33:32Okay. High workload, older player, George Kittle. Hello. He's never been, you know, the bastion of health.
33:37Mike Evans, same thing. Christian Kirk, same thing. Like, so really, we're really having a conversation about an aging roster with players
33:43that have like got a lot of mileage when everybody wants to be like, Oh, the substation, man, you can, people can
33:50miss me with that voodoo doll crap. So you're, you're like willing to not move Evans in your rankings.
33:55I moved him down a little bit. I had him higher than wide receiver 21.
34:00I moved him down just a tad with the quad.
34:02But as soon as like, if that's a minor thing and like we get a report next week and he's back practicing
34:09and full and stuff like that, I'll move him up another few spots.
34:13Yeah. You just hurt me last year, man, because you know, I was riding high with him.
34:18I waited for him to come back for injury.
34:20I bet him that it was a collarbone that screwed him over, not the hamstrings.
34:25Yeah. That's a good point. Everybody forgets. Oh yeah.
34:27And then he came back and, and, uh, he was on my opponent's team and he, and he did some damage against me in the playoffs.
34:35And then Baker couldn't throw a, an accurate ball to save his life.
34:39Cause if you've been watching the Netflix thing, he was not even close to healthy and none of us knew it.
34:45So, okay. Glad to know you're a watching quarterback season three or four, whatever one this is.
34:50It's good, man. Yeah. I always love the storylines and the game within the game.
34:54And because everybody thinks that I put on the tinfoil hat when I talk about injuries and injury reporting and stuff.
35:00Yeah. But just watch the segment about Baker in the Netflix series where he's, his arm is black and blue and the
35:07only reason we didn't know it is because in practice and everywhere when he was out in public, he's wearing a damn sleeve to cover it up.
35:14And it's not on the freaking injury report that wasn't even talked about last year.
35:19So it's like, oh, well, so again, I put on the tinfoil hat because that's the truth.
35:24We don't find out the true nature of injuries and stuff.
35:27Yeah. Until the Netflix series comes out. You remember all the Amin Ross St.
35:31Brown stuff when he got hurt in the season and that was never on the injury report too?
35:36Yes. Everybody so conveniently forgets. Or Michael Thomas in previous years when he was basically couldn't even run and he was out there playing.
35:43But everybody's like, oh no, you got to believe the injury reporting.
35:47No. NFL teams and coaches lie. That's what happens.
35:49Yeah. Because they can. And they're not held. Their feet aren't held to the fire by the NFL.
35:55This happens every damn year. And then everybody pretends like it didn't happen when the NFL season comes around again.
36:00But I'm the crazy one, Seth. You know, the NFL is definitely more transparent than sports like college football or even NHL.
36:07Well, you can't be more cloak and dagger than college football.
36:10Let's also talk about that. Yeah. You cannot be any more cloak and dagger about injuries than freaking college football.
36:16When Brian Kelly is out here like, well, yes, all of us have a little bit tendonitis.
36:21Don't you know? Oh, no. Spire should be fine.
36:23We all walk around every single day with tendonitis.
36:26Everybody go Google Brian Kelly tweets. That guy is a freaking idiot and a moron.
36:30Never let him around any injury reporting ever again.
36:33Well, never. Yeah. I don't think he'll be back in SEC.
36:36One of the few conferences actually mandate an injury report in college football.
36:40But nonetheless, I did want to remind everyone to please join our Fans Pro Discord community.
36:45You can chat with other fans there. You also can get access to exclusive AMAs that wind up on our podcast feed.
36:51Our current schedule looks like this. We have Worm and Fitz at 5 Eastern on the first Tuesday of every month.
36:57That just happened yesterday as well. I know they had some great dynasty conversation over there.
37:02Boggs and Fitz at 5 Eastern on the third Tuesday of every month.
37:06Then we have Welsh and Erickson every single Thursday moving forward at 2 p.m.
37:10Eastern time. So looking forward to them being back on the mics there on the Discord community.
37:15So come get your questions answered. And actually be on the show at fancypros.com slash chat.
37:19Although, I don't know if I can let Dev on the show, to be honest.
37:24Even if I hear his audio, I might have to cut it just because apparently I'm not welcomed on his yacht, which hurts.
37:31He said invite only in the chat, okay? So, I mean, maybe you get the invite.
37:35Maybe I don't, Seth. We'll see how it goes.
37:38I've heard that before. I've heard that one before as well.
37:41He sends them by carrier pigeon, by the way.
37:44So if you haven't seen any pigeons hovering outside your house, then unfortunately you're not getting an invite.
37:49Yeah, I'm not a big fan of pigeons. When I lived in State College a couple years ago, on my back deck, they just overtook it.
37:56What were the pigeons? Pigeon hater. Well, you know, I was even reading on the internet of how to get rid of pigeons.
38:03Like I was putting like chili powder out there.
38:06Squirrels of the air, some say. Yeah. Squirrels of the air.
38:09I think squirrels better than pigeons. Actually, nobody says that.
38:12I just kind of. I feel like the rat of the air maybe.
38:16That's not too disrespectful. Here's a great question from Julie Backer saying, should I draft a top-tier quarterback or tight end?
38:22For me, if I have to pick one or the other, I'm going tight end.
38:26I just have more comfortability in the quarterback options late than tight end.
38:30Yeah, I'm with you on that. I think it's for me, it's tight ends easy this year.
38:35It's Brock Bowers, Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren, or I'm just punting the position down the road.
38:40That's fine. Okay. So yes, I'm more in on paying up for tight end because again, to your point, I love late round quarterback this year.
38:47Give me all the Tyler Shuck, Bo Nix, Malik Willis that I can get.
38:51Jared Goff. Like any one of these high upside guys, pair them with Jared Goff and you know you're probably getting at worst top 12 quarterback play.
38:59And then you got ceiling with the other guys.
39:02Yeah. Here's a great question from a guy with a cool name, Cameron Carver.
39:06Wish I had that type of name. 10-team PPR league.
39:09Truly think Gibbs or Bijon will be there considering history of two guys in front of me.
39:14What's the plan next? Going double running back. Should I then go elite tight end if there or hammer wide receiver next?
39:20So looking like, I'm guessing he has the third pick based on what he's saying here, Derek?
39:25Is that kind of what you're reading? Yeah, that's what I'm guessing.
39:29Yeah, I'm reading that. Like I think it's the 103 that he has.
39:32And yeah, Gibbs or Bijon, whoever falls to you.
39:35And then really going double running back, it just kind of depends on who's left on the board.
39:40Like if you're staring in the second round of one of in the second round, you're staring at one of like Amarian Hampton, Chase Brown, Kenneth Walker.
39:48Yeah, we fine with paying up for them. If old stalwart Derek, Derek Henry is there, that's also fine.
39:54But he in a 10 team or he might fall to the third round and in a 10 team or two.
40:00It's like, yeah, like I'm more willing to pay up.
40:03Um, I don't, I, again, Colston Loveland is the cheat code.
40:06I think you're going to get close to Brock Bowers type of production this year and you don't have to draft him
40:12in the second round like you do with the Bowers.
40:15So totally fine going there. And in the running back conversation, just RBRB.
40:19It just, it depends on who's there. If one of those guys isn't there, then I'm totally fine.
40:24Like if a wide receiver falls to you. So it's just playing the board game.
40:29George Pickens. Is that like Nico Collins? Is that kind of the range?
40:32I'm fine with that. AJ Brown. Yeah. And in a 10 team league, I think I'm more actually inclined to go RB wide receiver.
40:39If, if possible, just because like, I don't want to be left out of that top tier wide receivers in a 10 team league.
40:46It's harder to kind of make up that difference.
40:49I feel like a little bro. Apparently the chat you like hit on a nerve here.
40:54Everybody hates pigeons as well. I was not aware of this pigeon.
40:57Let's go. All right. I mean, there's just like everybody squirrels or rats with fluffy tails or rats are smarter.
41:03Um, pigeons are rat with rats with wings. Uh, dev weighing in pigeon equals a flying rat.
41:08Yes. Like apparently you hit on a nerve that I didn't know existed here.
41:12Seth. Yeah. Apparently. Apparently. Pigeon hate is real, man.
41:15Golly. Who knew? Absolutely. Oh, you knew. Yeah. Hey man.
41:18They're, they're just annoying. I don't, I don't, I don't mess with them.
41:21Here's one for Cam Henry, uh, weighing in here with a super chat scene.
41:25Super flex, 12 team, half point PPR. I have the one-on-one start three wide receiver, two running back and one flex and
41:32tight end league traditionally isn't super quarterback hungry in rounds.
41:35One and two is Josh Allen, a lock at one-on-one still.
41:38If the league traditionally, if you're using draft Intel cam, if you could sink your league and that gives you the cheat
41:44code of how, how this league has been drafting, you're running mocks based off of all of this.
41:50So to that point, if you know by draft Intel that league traditionally is not super QB hungry in rounds one to
41:56two, I'm totally fine with you paying up for and just going Gibbs or B John, whoever your RB one is.
42:02I'm totally fine with that. Because again, as we've kind of like laid out already here, Cam, we are really big fans
42:09of late quarterback as well as the value you can get.
42:12I was just in, um, flex league in New York city, drafting a super flex league.
42:16Yeah. How'd they go? I was at the back end of first round and I didn't anticipate going QB QB in my
42:23first two rounds, but with a turn of two guys next to me, I was picking one 10.
42:28I knew that they were going to wait on quarterback and I didn't want to get hung up fighting for them at quarterbacks later in the draft.
42:36So I ended up getting Jalen hurts and Jackson dart, like two rushing quarterbacks after going CMC at the one 10.
42:42So I I'm totally fine with you going Jalen hurts or Jackson dart is your, is your upside QB one and then
42:48mixing and matching QB two and what that looks like cam.
42:52So yes, to your point, I would go with the running back and figure out quarterback and anywhere between rounds two to six, how the board looks.
43:00Yeah. I'm curious to see your, your line for that.
43:02I got the online version of flex league coming up here in just a couple of weeks with some sharks.
43:08So, uh, you know, fitzy, by the way, I got to take fitzy down.
43:12I haven't played with fitzy in a league since like my first Scott fishbowl, maybe five or six years ago.
43:18And I beat him there. So I got to keep the, bro.
43:22I almost went not last year, but the year before I almost went undefeated in that league.
43:27I almost ran the table. Um, I ended up like Jalen hurts, got hurt in a game and then I got screwed over.
43:33Like, um, in that league, I actually had, I think it was the one Oh one or the one Oh two.
43:39And I went Jalen hurts at that point. And I backed them up that that was, yeah, it was rookie year.
43:46Jaden Daniels. I started Jalen hurts and Jane Daniels.
43:48And I was just absolutely crushing everybody all year.
43:51I love that. I love that. So, um, I'll send you my roster after we get off here.
43:56It's a good team. Excited to see that Josh Allen.
43:59Uh, we also have Jonathan Taylor, Brock Bowers, 10 team super flex first pick any changes.
44:04First three picks. I keep coming across in the mock.
44:07So how do you like this start going? Josh Allen, Taylor and Bowers.
44:10My only issues. I just think you're a little bit like down at wide receiver, right?
44:15And then a 10 team league. Starting on a weekly basis.
44:18That's a great team. Are you starting two or starting three, uh, in a two wider C or league?
44:24I'm much more with this start, but also to your point, bro, you could just, if you, so here's the other thing,
44:30Kyle, like if you were to start this way and you literally went hero running back and you went Alan Taylor and Bowers, they all stay healthy.
44:38And at your onesie positions, you are just absolutely just bludgeoning people.
44:42Yeah. And then you just like, so like, say like, this is how it plays out.
44:46You go Alan Taylor Bowers and then you just smack wide receivers for the next three rounds.
44:51You walk out with a starting trio of say like a Jalen Waddle, Christian Watson, Carlin, Carnell Tate.
44:56I'm totally in for that. And then you figure out RB two with like a Montgomery, Basial toot and other guys, like
45:03PPR format, like, you know, Kenny Gainwell and other guys you can get later.
45:07I'm, I absolutely love this start, but you will have to kind of play the board and figure out what you're going
45:13to do at RB two and probably slam wide receiver for the next three rounds after this.
45:18I'm, I'm with it, Kyle. This, this could be a league winning start and it's not hard to see it.
45:24Yeah. It makes those other picks a little more conditional, but definitely helps getting some, some elite onesie positions there.
45:30Like, do you love that start Seth? Or are you a bit lower than me on it?
45:35Cause it sounded like you were going to kind of be wet blanketing this a little bit.
45:40But I'm a little bit out on like JT at that cost.
45:43I would just rather go with a, either. Okay.
45:46Say he goes James Cook, Chase Brown, whoever your guy at that point, Derek Henry, the old stalwart, like pick another running back there.
45:53Like who, who would be your running back to go there instead of JT?
45:57And James Cook or O'Mearian are there. That's kind of where I prefer to go.
46:01If he starts Josh Allen, O'Mearian Hampton, Brock Bowers, are you in?
46:05Yeah, I think so. But you just have to clean up a wide receiver.
46:09I'm talking like four or five rounds straight. I'm not even okay with three.
46:13I'm just clicking wide receiver. If the value is still there.
46:16Here's our guy, W Collins, which we're finding out his first name is Will.
46:20Andy's got a pretty cool dog in there. The profile picture as well.
46:24Coming over from twitch.tv slash fancy pros, where he usually catches us.
46:28DJ Seth and my boy. Is that a corgi mix, Will?
46:31Back together. We are back. Throw it in the chat.
46:34Is that a corgi mix? What are we working with, Will?
46:37I don't know. I'm not really. I don't spend.
46:40I like dogs. I don't say I'm not a dog person, but I just have cats.
46:44So I don't really know dog breeds that much.
46:47I knew you were a cat guy. They're easier.
46:49They're easier. You know? They're demons. Speaking of pigeons, you should be hating cats.
46:54Lisbon Chin checking in saying, with the injuries to the 49ers and Debo's history, is there anyone worth picking up besides CMC?
47:00Or is everyone all in on Debo at this point?
47:03We already had a conversation about Mike Evans. I would rather shift this conversation to more, is Dijon Stribling now on your redraft radar, Derek?
47:10Because it's hard not to. I don't want to buy in here because, again, I think you and I were both lower on him as a prospect.
47:18I think most of the NFL was in the fantasy community than going 33rd overall.
47:22That being said, it's hard to not see that he might have a golden opportunity in front of him right now.
47:28Yeah, I mean, I think the parts of this offense, again, I think CMC is a binary conversation.
47:34He stays healthy. He's a top two running back.
47:36He gets hurt. You're screwed. It's really simple. Which side of that fence do you stand on?
47:41It's easy. But as far as the rest of it goes, I think it's Mike Evans, and I think it is Debo or Stribling late.
47:49You can have a conversation about George Kittle. I'm still curious about which version of George Kittle we see and when we
47:55see him and all that kind of stuff. But I think depending on what the news will be get about Mike Evans,
48:01I think that Debo Samuel, and I workshopped this take.
48:04I'm curious what you think about this, Seth, on a previous show this week.
48:08I think Debo Samuel this year is going to be last year's Keenan Allen as a veteran player that's just old and
48:15boring and the ADP will not catch up to.
48:17We talked about this all last year, dude. The ADP never caught up to Keenan Allen.
48:22And I'm not telling you he was a league winning asset.
48:25He was also really freaking good to begin the year.
48:28I think Debo, I don't think the ADP is going to catch up to Debo.
48:33I think Debo should be in that wide receiver three type of area code as well because that's what he was last year.
48:39And all of his peripherals, like, yeah, yards per route run, first downs per route run wasn't good.
48:45But outside of that, bro, he was still top 10 in yak per reception and missed tackles force per reception.
48:50Oh, wow. As the wide receiver 29 in fantasy points per game last year.
48:54So I think Debo is probably the outstanding value to be had right now.
48:59Yeah, I think I agree with you. And, you know, I think the thing to keep in mind is if Debo does
49:05go out there and have a hot start and you have him on your roster, that's when you look to move to
49:11him, you know, after that first month or so before a fall off potentially comes.
49:16Because I was seeing some people get through some crazy trades for Keenan Allen last year right during that hot stretch.
49:22So love that question there. And shout out to Will.
49:25It is a Corgi. We are team Corgi here, Will.
49:28Always baby. Let's go. So we're going to get some more questions.
49:31Well, Seth is and he's team team cast or whatever.
49:34Yeah. You know, you know, I don't even know what kind of cast they are.
49:38The straight kind, the straight kind that I let into my house.
49:42I think that's what they are. We cleaned up.
49:45We got taken care of. Don't you worry about it.
49:47Fleas in the furniture, sir. No, no, no. We cleaned them up and we got them.
49:52We got them, you know, vet veterinarian done and, you know, fixed up.
49:56So we're good. We're good there. Also good is today's presenting sponsor.

51:32We're going to get to one more Super Chat.
51:34Just a reminder, Super Chat's not guaranteed here. Through the rest of the show, because we want to make sure we address
51:41some of the questions that came in earlier. Here is one, though, from Godzilla-sized fireballs.
51:4512-team, full PPR. We got an odd rule. You can take minus three and sub a tight end out for a wide receiver.
51:52My question is, what point would you say F it on the tight end?
51:56Man, that's interesting. I kind of like this. I've never heard this.
51:59Take a minus three and sub a tight end out for a...
52:03Okay. I'm just... I'm walking through this. Yeah, so you basically could throw any wide receiver in instead of a tight end,
52:09but that receiver starts with a minus three next to them.
52:12So my question is, at what point would you just...
52:15So like, I guess I'm trying to figure out how Godzilla's phrased in this question.
52:20Like, at what point... Where, like, what player has to go in this format for you just to be like, okay, I'm done with tight end.
52:27Like, I'm just going to take receivers instead and take the minus three every week.
52:32Because like, I would say at that point, like, if I'm missing the first five or six, then I would probably, you know...
52:38If Sam Laporta, maybe even Kyle Pitts, if we're going down to seven and eight, if they go, then I would just
52:45maybe just punt the tight end position until I get to like a jig or something.
52:49This comes down to a roster build conversation and how the draft room goes for me.
52:54If you have a wide receiver heavy team that you draft, then this makes a lot more sense.
52:59So like, if you're getting an elite wide receiver that you're playing basically in the tight end position, and let's just say
53:06you draft a guy that's going to give you whatever, like 16 points per game.
53:10So he's basically an elite tight end. Like, he's going to push to be like close to tight end one.
53:16But you can get access to that type of guy at the wide receiver position and say like round four or five or something like that.
53:23Yeah. I mean, this is easily a Parker Washington conversation too.
53:27Then that's... If you're building a wide receiver heavy team and that's how the draft goes, then that's the part where I
53:33think when you get into the later parts of the wide receiver stuff and you're getting guys that are like anywhere from
53:39like 10 to 12 points a game. Yeah. Or something like that.
53:43Yeah. Then that's the point where it's like it's diminishing returns because then basically you're hoping for a guy that with this
53:49caveat, that's only going to give you eight to 10 points per game.
53:53And when that's the case, then you're just equaling tight end position.
53:57You're not getting a value out of any of this.
54:00So Godzilla and this savvy is wild, by the way.
54:02Like, um, if that's how you build your team and I'm not saying that you have to, but that's one way you could gain the system.
54:10If you, especially in a year, Seth, where everybody is so running back heavy.
54:14Yeah. Like if you build a team, like this is a perfect, this is a wonderful type of, uh, format.
54:20If you were to go zero RB or here, RB and you go heavy wide receiver and you get the elites and
54:26stuff, you're stacking up a monster wide receiver team.
54:29That's the part where it can make a lot of sense, depending on how many flex spots you got.
54:35Yeah. I mean, the, the, the chat and the, uh, the Abby's today are just, yeah, yeah, the chat, the chat is
54:41like, bro, this Godzilla is taking me out of it.
54:44Yes. It's taken all of us out of it collectively.
54:47And everybody listened to this on audio. If you saw it on YouTube, you know, you know, and if not, you need to go tune into the YouTube.
54:55Yeah. Subscribe. We're on our way to 300,000 subscribers.
54:58We can only get there with your help as well.
55:00So we'd appreciate you guys subscribing over there. Just like our boy metal James.
55:05Talk about a nice Abby, a guy just playing an acoustic guitar on a water deck.
55:09Like this is looking good over here. And he's got an important question for us.
55:14He's in 18 keeper, full PPR super flex. They just added two more teams.
55:18How do I go about after keepers from the original eight that are kept getting keepers to the two newest teams?
55:24So one day, a new league. Yeah. Yeah. You could start a new league, man.
55:28Like you could do that. I think if you do like one, I'd give them the first two picks in the draft.
55:35If you're expanding, right. Give them the first two picks.
55:37That's a good call. And then maybe that they get like the leftover keepers that nobody wants as well.
55:43That like, Hey, you know, these players weren't kept, but you can keep them for the prices that they were kept last year.
55:50Oh, you know, that's a good point. If you're not starting another league, like basically let everybody keep, keep their guys and
55:56stuff like that and give them the first run of they get to pick over the, all the guys not being kept.
56:03So however many, like, cause I don't think James put it in here.
56:06How many keepers each team has. He just put the size of the league.
56:10So like, yeah, like, okay. So let everybody pick their keepers and then the remaining pool of players give the two teams,
56:17like say if it's three keepers, like let them just snake format it, like, and go pick their key three keepers out of that.
56:24And then you could just work it like that.
56:26Or I say just avoid all of this crap and just start a new league.
56:31But again, there's a lot of ways to tackle this James.
56:34I kind of like Seth's idea here. Yeah, absolutely.
56:37They're seeing some questions in the chat about when we're going to be live on Twitch.
56:41We'll be live on Twitch, you know, throughout the intermediate of the rest of, uh, of draft season here.
56:47We of course have around baby. We're here, there, everywhere, man.
56:50Yeah. As long as, as long as you're subscribed here, as long as you're subscribed there on the dynasty feed as well, like you really can't miss us.
56:58Um, and of course, you know, we got fancy fest coming up.
57:02I think that's August 26th as well. We got a full Twitch after party.
57:06We're going to be doing some mock drafts with the listeners as well.
57:10So looking forward to all that fun as well.
57:12Um, and here is a crusty crest, fancy football saying love the show fellas.
57:16Thank you very much. Crusty crest, uh, saying best positional redraft 12 man PPR strategy.
57:21I, if I have three fifth round picks this year, one, two, three, four, and then five, three, three fifth round picks.
57:27Um, I'm missing my six and seventh round. So looks like this is one of those leagues, Derek, where you can trade individual draft picks for me.
57:35Like, I don't think this changes a whole lot.
57:38Um, in my approach, like I think I'm still wanting in to be balanced a little bit.
57:42I think maybe if this is the case, I'm more inclined to maybe grab an elite quarterback.
57:47If I have three fifth round picks, it feels a little bit better, but then you just have to be like willing
57:54to, Hey, I'm not gonna have a pick for, you know, what?
57:5720, 40, 30 picks here. Yeah. And I think looking at just how ADP is stacking up right now, I think if
58:04you're looking at this, then for me, it's probably, I'm going, I love the wide receivers that are available in rounds four and five right now.
58:11I absolutely love them. So for me, it would be running back, running back pay up for Colston Loveland and round three,
58:18all of those, like that, that fourth you have in those three fits.
58:22Yeah. Just absolutely slam wide receiver because here's the name, uh, are the list of names of wide receivers that I love
58:28that are going within, uh, I'm zooming out here.
58:31All right. Here's the list of wide receivers that are going in the fourth to fifth round that I absolutely love.
58:37And I'll just give you the, the short list of guys that I love here.
58:41Zay flowers and Mecca, Buka, Jalen Waddle, Garrett Wilson, uh, Terry McLaurin.
58:45You want to be back in on Devante Adams, uh, Luther Burton, Mike Evans.
58:49I mean, all of these guys we just talked about, like you could absolutely clean up at wide receiver and rounds four
58:55to five, as well as like, I'm not against you also pulling a guy up the board, like a Christian Watson, Carnell Tate, Parker Washington.
59:02And like, you're walking away with a strong four wide receivers while also walking away from that with two starting running backs and elite tight end.
59:10That's how I would attack this. But Seth, am I crazy here?
59:13No, I think that is definitely the, the right case to go about that is continuing to attack that position because the
59:20fall off will come in and having these additional fifth round picks and gets you out in front of that.
59:26Derek, we got about four minutes left. Let's do a little rapid fire to round things out.
59:31First one from Bam Bam Branson. Is it Mitchell Evans season?
59:34We have JT Sanders going down in practice today.
59:36No, they're going to run a committee. I don't, I wish it was, but no.
59:41Kyler as a last overall pick seems like highway robbery reasons.
59:44It doesn't work out. I don't even know if he gets the job, Derek.
59:48I've been saying this all off. Kyler sucks. That's the way this doesn't work out.
59:52I'm not in on Kyler this year. Maybe it burns me, but I don't care.
59:57Thank you. Thank you. Uh, keeper league here for Eric, uh, PPR.
60:00I've worn in the 11th fifth pick in the first, do I go CMC Taylor or cook?
60:05Hmm. Cook or CMC for me. It's just a conversation on, do you think CMC stays healthy or not?
60:11Yes. Keep Talbot Warren in the 11th. That's easy money.
60:14Yeah. I love that. Uh, pick two 12 man PPR, Chase Brown, Hampton, cook, HN.
60:18I'm going Hampton and cook personally there. What about you?
60:21I'm going cook. And then it's Hampton or chase Brown.
60:24One of the other guys pick, pick your favorite.
60:27If you want to go, I mean, cook is the definite guy for me.
60:31And then pick between chase Brown and Hampton, whoever you like more.
60:34Uh, Jeremiah. Yeah. Patrick asking what round for Kenneth Walker are you now?
60:38Like late half the second round. Is that kind of, that's where he started to move up.
60:43Uh, ECR wise. He's kind of going in that, you know, late, late second, uh, early third type of range.
60:49I'm okay. Back into the second. He's, if you need to run higher than that in real time, 80, so real time, 80 P on fantasy pros.com.
60:57So it's fantasy pros.com slash NFL slash real dash time dash ADP.
61:00He is right now at 15.8 overall. He's gained almost two spots over the last week.
61:05Wow. Um, and I'm fine with that. I mean, he's a second round pick again.
61:09I kind of talked about it. Like the, the second round guys that I love that are there.
61:14It's Derek Henry, Kenneth Walker and Amarian Hampton chase Brown.
61:17Like that's the four pack of running backs. I love right there.
61:21So if Kato balls, do you snatch them up?
61:23Miranda has the three pick and a 12 man redraft super flex dynasty league.
61:27Should I got running back or quarterback? Um, depends on who's there.
61:31Miranda. Yeah. Yeah. Like it just depends on the board.
61:34Like if one of the elite quarterbacks is there, you want to go there.
61:38And also this is partially like knowing your room, like how, how, um, you know, well, hold up.
61:43This is a redraft super wait, hold up. Oh yeah.
61:46This is a little bit of a, yeah, this might, I don't know what, yeah.
61:50Like I'm rereading this Miranda and I feel like I'm being hoodwinked here.
61:54Um, so I, is it super flex? I have no clue what, what the actual format is here, Miranda.
62:00Yeah. Either way, use fancy pros draft assistant. That'll help you there.
62:03You know, deciding what might fall back to you in that second round.
62:07Uh, Jericho, uh, lead keeper league and led the keeper league in points last year, but miss the playoffs.
62:13Do I keep Rico down or Jonathan Brooks? Doesn't sound, sound like there's a round assigned for it.
62:18My other RBs will be Bijon and scatter boo.
62:20Brooks. It's Brooks. Yeah. Uh, drafting two Oh five this weekend and dynasty desperately need a running back.
62:26Who would you be taking? Looks like a, a dynasty rookie draft.
62:29I mean, I think that's the considerate. Like, is that too early for Singleton still for you?
62:34Two or five to her. It's a fifth round run.
62:37No, I think what you do with this bend.
62:40Now hold up. What you do with this bend is you trade the two Oh five for a running back.
62:46That's what you do. You don't draft the running back.
62:48Yes. You take, you trade the two Oh five for a running back and dynasty.
62:53You could probably, I mean, add a sweetener to that.
62:56You could probably get like a Javante Williams. Um, if not, then yes, like I'm fine with paying up with Brooks because
63:02it, the caliber of either one of those guys is going to be better than what you're getting at the two Oh five.
63:09Like outside of Jeremiah love and Jadarian price. I don't want to invest in this running back class.
63:14I just don't. So trade that pick for a running back.
63:17It's fair enough. Yeah. If Jonah Coleman's around there, like I, you know, you know me, I'll take, yeah, he's probably not
63:24going to be there, but it's still muddy, man.
63:26He could pay off, but he could also not.
63:29Yeah. Yeah. It's definitely one of those seasons try to go back in the 2027.
63:33You know, first or second round two, there's going to be a lot of fun running backs coming out next year.
63:39Quan Lacey, Ahmad Hardy, Milo, Nate Frazier, Gene Bowen.
63:42I think we might've got another super chat before we get out of here, Seth.
63:46Yeah. Let's try to hit it. Yeah. I said, but it's not guaranteed.
63:50We'll try to do the right thing here. No, that's fine.
63:53But I mean, people toss in the cash, man.
63:56I don't want to miss it. Hey, fellas. I traded Kraft for Kincaid, Pittman, Brissett, and a 2027 and 2028 second.
64:02I know Kraft is the best player there, but I felt the return was really good.
64:07So he got out of Kraft for Kincaid, Pittman, Brissett, and two second round picks.
64:11I'm fine with this. It feels like a little bit of a bag of chips that you sold a sub and got
64:18a lot of air, but I don't love it, but it could have been worse.
64:22I don't like it. I don't like it, Sherney.
64:25Like it. Oh, wait, you got two seconds for him?
64:28Yeah. Okay. And that whole ball of players. You need Kincaid to hit in this.
64:32You need to Kincaid to hit in this. Yeah, you do.
64:35Like I don't. The value lines up. This also feels like what out of the grab bag can I throw at you to get to Kraft?
64:43That's what this feels like. But, you know, can that work out for you?
64:47What I will say to all that is trade Brissett in season, trade Pittman in season.
64:51I'm worried about both their outlooks, especially after this year.
64:54You need Kincaid to hit. But could it work out?
64:57Yeah, it could. It did feel like you kind of got the grab bag trade offer, though.
65:02That feels like the time I was like a freshman in college.
65:06I got a call from a friend from high school that I didn't talk to in about a year or so.
65:12And he said, hey, Seth, do you have a minute?
65:15I'm sitting here with my business partner. We'd like to talk to you essentially about a pyramid scheme is what it was.
65:21I was like, no, thank you. Oh, Ponzi scheming you, huh?
65:24Yeah, yeah. I was like, oh, come on, brother.
65:27Come on. Let's do better than that. I'm good.

66:54Honestly. Honestly. Honestly. No one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it.
67:01Things like PrEP. PrEP stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis. And it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it.
67:09PrEP can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed.
67:12It doesn't protect against other STIs though. So be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.
