0:00Top 70 fantasy football rankings. Let's get this going. Starting off with the S tier, Gibbs and Bejon should be the first two picks in any fantasy draft. I
0:10don't care if it's superflex. I don't care if it's a 10 team, 12 team, single flex, double flex, non-PR, full PPR,
0:16half PPR. These are the guys you are taking because they are absolutely bulletproof. Jir Gibbs, 24 years old.
0:24He's played three straight seasons of at least 15 games a year and back-to-back years with at least 21 points per game.
0:32And now you have no David McGomery. Bean Robinson, 24 years old. He has had three straight seasons of playing 17 games,
0:40back-to-back years with at least 20 points per contest. And now you have no Tyler Algier. The reason I would go Gibbs over Bejon is frankly the Lions
0:50offense better than the Atlanta Falcons.
0:52We're going to keep it that simple, but honestly, I wouldn't even fault you if you wanted to go Bejon at one. Now,
0:58moving down to the A tier. These are just going to be the top end studs at the wide receiver position. Jamar Chase,
1:06stud. Go back two years ago. I made it to the Flock League playoffs. Got a buy as well. I didn't have really many
1:14talented players on my team. The only thing I got right is I drafted Jamar Chase. And yeah, he had 23.71 fantasy points per game. Now, of course,
1:23you can come through and you can say, "Well, Mason, why did he drop down this past year? I mean, this past year, he
1:29only averaged 19.6." It is incredibly simple to explain. Obviously, we have a bunch of tools on flockfantasy.com.
1:36Let's go ahead and let's pull up the player comparison tool and we'll do this live for you. Let's go ahead and let's
1:41throw in Jamar Chase. And what I want to do is I want to look at Jamar Chase over the past two years with and without Joe
1:47Burrow because obviously in games in which Joe Burrow plays, Jamar Chase is significantly better in than the games in which Burrow misses. He's played 25
1:57games with Burrow over the past two years. And he's averaged 22.6 fantasy points per game and has been the wide receiver one during that stretch. The
2:05Bengals currently project to be a top five offense in the league. So it's very easy for us to say take Chase. Um, Puka
2:11Nikua, absolute stud. Puka is the wide receiver one in points per game with 23 and a half this past season. The
2:17difference between Puka and Chase, there are two of them. One, Joe Burrow is in the prime of his career as well as Jamar
2:23Chase's. Matthew Stafford, on the other hand, while he's coming off an incredible season, is still already 38 years old, right? So, I am more
2:31concerned about Stafford than I would be of Burrow. And the second thing with this is Puganukua does have somewhat of an injury history. I mean, obviously
2:39missed a game this past year and then he only played 11 games in 2024, but I can't fault you for drafting Puganua
2:45over Chase because even in those games in which Burrow played with Chase, Puganu has still averaged more points per contest this past year. And then
2:52going over and looking at Jackson Smith and Jigba, 24year-old wide receiver, averaged 21 points per game this past season, has played 17 games every year
3:02of his NFL career. Now, what people are concerned about with JSN is the offensive coordinator change and this overall offense regressing. Now, while
3:10yes, the Seahawks should be a worse offense this year than they were last, they still project to be a top 10
3:16offense in the league according to sports books. And honestly, that's something that you just have to go through and you have to take it face
3:23value because sports books know more than you do. They know more than I do.
3:26and it would be crazy to fade a wide receiver in the prime of his career coming off the type of season he just
3:32had. Now, when we get down to the B tier, this is where your league settings are going to start to matter a lot more.
3:40Like, our first two players I want to discuss are going to be a Monroe St.
3:43Brown and Christian McCaffrey. Now, if you go through and if you look at my rankings in specific league formats, you may see that in some leagues, I'm going
3:52to go ahead. I'm going to prefer a Monroe St. Brown here. And in other leagues, I may prefer McCaffrey. Just to
3:58fill you in on what those leagues may be, let's go and let's pull up the draft sheets on flockfantasy.com. Um, we can
4:05see here in this league in which you only have one flex spot, there I'm taking the running backs like McCaffrey, Taylor, Genty over St. Brown. However,
4:13if you're in a league in which you play full PPR and double flexes, then I'm going to start moving these wide
4:19receivers up like St. Brown and CD Lamb.
4:23When you're valuing running backs versus wide receivers, wide receivers versus tight ends, quarterbacks versus tight ends, it really does matter what your
4:30exact league settings are, whether it's PPR, nonPPR, 10 team, 12 team, single flex, double flex. And of course, y'all know we have over 70 custom draft sheets
4:41available to you on fogfantasy.com. That way you can make the exact league adjustments that you need to for the platform that you are playing on and at
4:49the same time your exact league settings. That is included in the $34 flockfantasy.com season pass. On top of that, you'll get access to all your
4:58favorite creators on YouTube. You'll be getting weekly rankings and rest of season rankings throughout the entire season, plus access to the my teams
5:06page, the trade calculator, the whole nine yards. It's not $34 a month. It's literally $34 for the entire season. And if you use code flock when you sign up,
5:14you're also going to get free start set questions and trade questions that you can ask me in the live streams that I'm
5:18doing every night. But with St. Brown, hard to find a wide receiver that's safer. Three straight seasons with at least finishing as a top five wide
5:28receiver in points per game and he's played five years and he's never played fewer than 16 games in his NFL career.
5:34McCaffrey, on the other hand, you can see seasons where he only played four games, seven games, three games.
5:40obviously extensive injury history. He's 30 years old. I mean, you want to say that he's coming off a season with 311
5:48carries, 102 receptions, so over 400 touches, and we should be concerned, but at the same time, he just averaged 24 points per game this past season, so
5:56it's hard to fade him. Now, as we go down, we are going to have Jonathan Taylor. With Taylor, like, look at what
6:01he did in weeks 1 through 10 here. I mean, I'll go through and I'll pull up that player comparison tool one more
6:07time for y'all because before his by-week, he was averaging 27 points per game and he was the number one player in
6:15fantasy and it wasn't even remotely close. Then, of course, after the buy, Daniel Jones goes down. This offense collapses and Jonathan Taylor falls to
6:23being a low-end RB2. Now, with that in mind, you're hoping this next season Daniel Jones is fully healthy, which looks to be the case at the start of
6:32camp and the Indianapolis Colts can get back to where they were at the beginning of the season. I am concerned with the
6:39Colts because their offensive line looks to be a little bit worse and again, Daniel Jones is coming off the torn, but
6:45if you're a believer in this Colts offense going back to being a top five unit, then Jonathan Taylor very easily could be an S tier running back yet
6:51again. Now, CD Lamb will be here at nine for us. The Dallas Cowboys currently project to score a ridiculous amount of
6:58points. Lamb had the high ankle sprain, which obviously derailed this past season for him. We can go back and we can see that he has a year with 23
7:07points per game on his resume. Dak Prescott, one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL for fantasy production.
7:13Obviously, you can't have him in the A tier, though, because now all of a sudden, he does have to deal with George
7:18Pickins. But you can make an argument that Jamar Chase also has to deal with T. Higgins and Puka has to deal with
7:24Devonte Adams. Now Justin Jefferson will be here at 10. Um Jefferson, you can sit here and laugh at his 2025 season and
7:31go, "Oh my gosh, he was the wide receiver 32 in points per game. How the hell can you go through and can you rank
7:37him here?" One, I think you can make a compelling argument that Justin Jefferson is the most talented wide receiver in the league. And two, with
7:48that as well, what we can do is just look at every other season that he's played with no JJ McCarthy and see that
7:55he has finished as a top five wide receiver in points per game. Let's just go through and pull up the player
8:00comparison on flockfantasy.com.
8:02Over the past three years, he's played 34 games without McCarthy. This is including games with Sam Darnold, Carson Wentz, Kirk, like you have a wide range
8:11of quarterbacks that he's played with.
8:12And he's averaged 18 points per game and it was the wide receiver six. Now, of course, the 10 games that he played with
8:17McCarthy, god awful. Some of the worst quarterback play that he's ever seen or the league's seen in the past few years,
8:23but this year should be Kyler Murray, and you're hoping to get a big bounce back. Now, Ashen Genty at 11. Genty was
8:29an incredibly disappointing rookie, but go over to flockfantasy.com and look at his closest comp to his age 22 season.
8:37That was Todd Gurley. What did Gurley do the following year? He averaged 25 and a half points per game. How did Todd
8:44Gurley jump up to 25 and a half points per contest? Oh, it was very simple. You had a change with the coaching staff for
8:51the Rams, elevating the offense and saving Gurley's career, or at least that season. What is going on here with the Raiders? Well, one, they improve the
9:00quarterback play dramatically, going from Gino Smith to eventually Mendoza.
9:05Cousins will start a few games. Two, they significantly invest into the offensive line, bringing in possibly the league's best center. and three, they
9:13probably have the biggest improvement in their coaching room in the entire league. So, those three pillars currently, if you look at sportsbook
9:20data, actually have the Las Vegas Raiders offense improving more than any other offense in the league year-over-year, but they're still supposed to be a below average offense,
9:29just not nearly as bad as they were.
9:31Now, James Cook going to be our next running back. The Buffalo Bills project to be a top five offense yet again.
9:36James Cook, what we are really worried about last year was the rushing touchdown regression. And that did happen. He went from averaging one
9:43rushing touchdown per game down to 0.7.
9:47But frankly, it didn't matter because he had five additional carries per game. He had a career-high 95 rushing yards per contest. And then at this point, we can
9:55just say he's in the prime of his career, running behind one of the better offensive lines in the league with possibly the best quarterback play in
10:00the league. And it doesn't even matter if the rushing touchdowns go down because he has the rushing volume. very safe round one pick. Now, moving down to
10:08our next tier, let's go with Amari and Hampton. Now, Hampton, it seems aggressive to be ranking here at 13.
10:15When he finishes the running back 13 in points per game last season, but let's go through and let's look at that how
10:20that happened because the first two weeks, obviously, he does absolutely nothing. Then, in weeks three and four, he has a massive breakout. He had 80% of
10:28the snaps for the Chargers in week three and against a very good Denver Broncos defense, he was a top five running back.
10:34in week four, 89% of the snaps.
10:38This is prime Christian McCaffrey level workhorse. Then he gets injured in week five. Week 14, he comes back. Clearly, he's not 100% and they ramp him back
10:50from 31% to 37% to 56% to 81% of snaps.
10:55So, we have seen the Chargers want to make him a true workhorse running back.
11:00What happened his rookie season is he got injured. Not only did he get injured, but also the Chargers had the worst offensive line in the league with
11:08both their tackles going down. And if you look at current offensive line projections for this next season with the tackles back with the interior
11:16investment they made into the offensive line, the Chargers project to be a bottom 10 offensive line this season, which means Amari Hampton is set up to
11:24absolutely crush. And I think that he is a massive, massive breakout candidate this year. And honestly, if I'm drafting in the flock league and I can go like
11:31Genty, Amari, and Hampton at the one-two turn, while it would have been horrible last year, I think things could be a
11:36hell of a lot better this year. Devon Han will be our next player. Han's been one of my most drafted players in
11:42underdog draft specifically. Um, but that's cuz he's so damn cheap there and you can get him in late round two. I
11:48fully want to acknowledge the risk with Devon Achan, right? This is going to be a garbage offense. Questionable offensive line, new coaching staff.
11:55Malik Willis not going to check the ball down very often. So, there are a ridiculous amount of red flags that we
12:01have. But also, this is the same running back that's 24 years old that has had three straight seasons finishing as a
12:08mid to high-end RB1 and he's coming off a year where he averaged 20 points per game. If you didn't have these red flags
12:16with Devon Achan, do you know where he would be ranked? Oh, he would be an S tier level running back with Gibbs and
12:22Bejan. He has no competition whatsoever in his backfield. So, he's going to have the workload. The main concern again is this offense being the worst offense in
12:30the league. And Malik Willis going to run the ball. Maybe the checkdown rate being low. Chase Brown, our next running back with Chase Brown. Last season, the
12:39running back seven points per game. The year prior, the running back 14. This doesn't tell the whole story, though, because go back and look at what
12:45happened in 2024. 2024, we didn't really get the breakout until week nine, right?
12:51Week nine, massive breakout. He turns into a league winner. Early in the season, he just simply wasn't getting used much. Like the first three weeks,
12:5820% of the snaps, 24% of the snaps, 33% of the snaps. So Jace Brown broke out onto the scene as a true featured down
13:06three-down running back halfway through 2024, turned into a league winner. he was going to be just that in 2025. And then very similar to how Jamar Chase may
13:16be disappointed, um, so did Chase Brown.
13:18And it was strictly due to the Joe Burrow injury. If we go through and look at Chase Brown with and without Joe
13:25Burrow this past year, he played nine games with no Burrow, he was the running back 18. The eight games he played with
13:31Burrow, he was a top three back. Now, the offensive line's supposed to be pretty bad in Cincinnati, so I will acknowledge that. And also to be honest,
13:39I don't think he's as talented as Devon Chan is. I don't think he's as talented as Ginty, Taylor, McAffrey, Gibbs, Bejan, but the situation's great. He's
13:48produced in this same situation. So, I think Chase Brown very easy pick to make at the top of the second round. Saquon
13:55Barkley, great offensive line. Offense, in my opinion, should be much better than where it was last year with the change with the offensive coordinator.
14:04The efficiency did fall off a cliff though for Barkley. He fell from 5.8 rushing yards per attempt down to 4.1 year-over-year. And as somebody who had
14:14Saquon Barkley on his team last year, y'all know in the Flock League, yet again, I finished as the top two team.
14:20Yet again, I got a buy. Saquon Barkley didn't really help me with that. He was super frustrating all season. And what
14:26sucked is like you're looking at Barkley and it's like okay well if they get down to the goal line if it's a first and
14:34goal from the one it's going to be a Jaylen Herz rushing touchdown. So really the only path to touchdowns for Barkley
14:41is going to be those big plays and Barkley seeing the drop off in efficiency and the fact that he's about to turn 30 years old does concern me a
14:48bit and maybe the big plays are going to fall off. Now Kenneth Walker our next guy. Now, I understand everybody is over
14:55the moon regarding Kenneth Walker this next season in Kansas City. I would easily draft Barkley, Chase Brown, A Chant, Anabari, and Hampton over him.
15:03Well, yes, the Kansas City Chiefs, great landing spot. Walker is the best running back that they've had in years. He had a
15:09ton of explosive runs in Seattle this past season. And at the same time, we can go through and we can say, um, you
15:17have no competition in this backfield, whereas of last year, you had to deal with Zack Charbanet. To be fair, Kenneth Walker was the running back 29 in points
15:25per game last season. In an offense that scored more points per game than the Kansas City Chiefs are going to this
15:30year, the Seattle Seahawks were the best offense in the league when it came to efficiency. Walker was a mid running back three. And now, if you want to
15:37draft them, you have to take him in the second round. Hell, in underdog drafts, this dude goes over to Von Aan. So, I
15:43haven't drafted much of them. I will say if we're looking at the ADP consensus cheat sheets on flockfantasy.com um there Kenneth Walker is a little bit
15:52more appealing like as of now Kenneth Walker is pick 23 on Sleeper 22 on ESPN 15 on Yahoo 15 underdog. So I would say
16:02if you're in an underdog draft I'm probably not taking him. If you're a Yahoo draft I'm not taking him. But if
16:08you can get him at the two three turn in your ESPN league makes a ton of sense.
16:12Now, Drake London will be our next guy with London. Yes, he got injured last season, only played 12 games, but he was
16:17a monster in the games that he's played in back-to-back seasons with over 16 and a half points per game. And while you
16:22can make an argument, hey, this offense is going to be really bad in Atlanta, frankly, I don't know how much that
16:29matters because the Atlanta Falcons offense was already a train wreck last year and Drake London simply has no target competition whatsoever. though.
16:37I'm fine drafting Drake London in round two. If the offense was great, right, then I think you could make an argument
16:43that he would be an A tier or a Btier wide receiver. But with the offense being really bad, I would need to get
16:49him in the second, not the first. Now, Dererick Henry will be our next guy. If you are going through and making the
16:54adjustments to your exact league settings, again, I will pull up the draft sheets on flockfantasy.com.
17:01Let me show you where I have Dererick Henry ranked. If you are playing in a nonPPR format, if you look at my draft
17:08sheets right now for a nonPPR league, I am going to have Derrick Henry at three overall.
17:15Wild, wild discrepancy. These rankings are going to be for a full PPR league where every single player that we've discussed so far will have more
17:23receptions than Derrick Henry. And I'm just worried that the ceiling isn't going to be there when he doesn't catch the ball at all. And the floor is going
17:31to be pretty low as well. Again, he averaged 16 points per game this past season, but he's about to turn 33 years
17:37old. And all of that production, look at all these weeks. All these weeks were garbage throughout the um season. It was
17:45literally just this one game in which the Baltimore Ravens had Tyler Huntley starting and they were going up against Malik Willis. So, full PPR format, I'm
17:53lower on Derrick Henry, but obviously if you're using our draft sheets, you'll see in a half PPR, nonPPR there, we're higher on them. Then going over to AJ
18:02Brown, I am a little concerned with the fall-off that we had from Brown from an efficiency perspective. The first time in his entire NFL career, he averaged
18:09fewer than 2.5 yards per route run. He was down at 2.1. Um the yards per target went down significantly. Like he was
18:16still being fed the ball, but it just wasn't that efficient. If we look at the New England Patriots offense right now,
18:24they're projected out score significantly fewer points this year than they did last. Obviously, I'd say they have a more talented football team
18:30with the addition of AJ Brown. The difficult part about it though is just the schedule is going to be so much
18:36worse. So, I think the Patriots regress.
18:38Obviously, a much better setup for AJ Brown this season with Drake May in comparison to Jaylen Herz, but also last year he finished with 14.6 fantasy
18:46points per game. So, um for him to return value in the second round, he is going to have to be significantly better
18:51than he was. Now, let's go over to Dtier. We're going to have Brock Bowers here. Again, I want you all to reference
18:56the draft sheets to see how you should be valuing the elite tight ends in your specific format. Like, if you go through
19:02and look at the draft sheets right now, in a 12 team single flex league, I may have Brock Bowers here at 15. However,
19:08if you don't have to start a tight end, I know some people play in leagues where that tight end spot is optional, right?
19:14It'll be like a wide receiver tight end flex. There, I'll move Brock Bowers all the way down to 28. Um, however, maybe
19:20you play in a tight end premium format, then we're going to go ahead and move Brock Bowers up to pick eight overall.
19:26Or again, if you play in an eight team league here, you could actually see Bowowers also get slid up from pick 15
19:33to pick 11. So, all across the board, it's going to come down to your exact league settings and how you should be
19:40valuing these elite tight ends. The fewer starting lineup spots that you have, the less depth at the wide receiver position is going to matter and
19:47the more I'm going to be willing to push up these elite tight ends. I am making these rankings under the assumption it's
19:52a 12 team PPR double flex format, which is what I play in in the flock league.
19:56But make your adjustments moving Bowers up if you play in a single flex or a 10 team or especially an eight team league.
20:02Dude's an absolute stud in the worst offense in the league last year. He's the titan two in points per game, including playing some of these games
20:07when he was very clearly injured in weeks 2, three, and four. Now that this is going to be the most improved offense
20:12in the league and he has zero target competition. Uh frankly Bowers could outscore like Drake London, AJ Brown and you get those points at tight ends. Now
20:21Nico Collins will be our next name. If we are looking at Nico Collins it's just picture perfect consistency. Three straight seasons with at least a top 10
20:30finish from a per game perspective.
20:32Nothing really changes with the Houston Texans this year. Don't see why Nico should change at all. Malik Neighbors has been one of the biggest risers
20:40throughout training camp. Now, obviously, I'm going to continue to live stream every single night giving y'all training camp updates and updating the
20:47rankings on flockfantasy.com as well. As of today, this is where I'm ranking neighbors. But, this very easily could end up being a wide receiver that is as
20:57high as 13 in my rankings if he does truly look like he's 100% going into the season. But if we get some negative
21:05injury reports with Neighbors over the coming weeks, I could see dropping him down to the E tier. So, to be determined
21:11with the Malik Neighbors ranking, but this will be one to watch out for.
21:15Jeremiah Love will be our next guy. Now, I understand every report coming out of Arizona is, "Oh, Alier and James Connor
21:22are going to be at a committee with Jeremiah Love." I don't buy it. I don't care about it every single season. What
21:27do these teams do? They hype up the veterans. They give them their due. and they make the rookies earn it. If they
21:35believed that James Connor and Tyler Algier would be the starting running backs, they would have never drafted Jeremiah Love with the third overall
21:44pick. People are terrified of this offense and mainly that he's going to turn out to give you the same rookie season that Ashton Genty did, the same
21:54rookie season that Bejian Robinson did because those guys were horrible, horrible bust in their rookie years. But I want to remind you those guys were
22:03being selected in the first round of fantasy drafts as rookies where Jeremiah Love you can get at the end of the
22:09second or the beginning of the third.
22:11Now Trey McBride our next guy with McBride he is going to be much worse this year than he was last. It a monkey
22:17could tell you that right last year he averaged 18.6 fantasy points per game.
22:22For reference to see how exciting that is AJ Brown averaged 14.6.
22:29Trey McBride was like over 20% better from a points per game perspective than AJ Brown last season. Now, of course, I'm making these rankings with
22:38projections going into the future. We would assume that AJ Brown's better getting to play with Drake May as opposed to Jaylen Herz. And Trey
22:45McBride's going to regress for a couple reasons. One, we are hopefully not going to have the Arizona Cardinals playing in garbage time by the time you get to the
22:53second quarter. Two, hopefully the Arizona Cardinals don't see every single running back on their depth chart get injured and all of a sudden have to
23:02completely abandon the run. And three, we probably don't see Marvin Harrison get injured, boosting up the respective target share of Trey McBride. Now,
23:11George Pickins will be our next guy.
23:12George Pickkins also probably going to get worse year-over-year because here he was the wide receiver six averaging over 17 points per game last season. Big
23:21reason was you had the CD Lamb injury.
23:24CDLM missing time vaulted up George Pigginson being the best wide receiver in fantasy during that stretch and again based on the large samples that we have
23:32of their respective careers. I am banking on CD Lamb being the wide receiver one for this Dallas Cowboys offense but it should be one of the best
23:39offenses in the league. So it should be able to support two wide receivers. And then Rasheed Rice will be our last
23:44option here. He's out there catching balls from Patrick Mahomes at camp right now. He's not running at 100% speed or at least it definitely doesn't look like
23:52that at this point. He's still obviously rehabbing from that knee surgery he had earlier in the offseason. I mean, obviously went to jail earlier in the
24:00offseason. So, very similar to Malik Neighbors. Rasheed Rice could move up these rankings in a big-time way in the coming weeks. Now, let's move over to E
24:09tier. This is where things begin to get a little bit more flat. Um, Dvont Smith will be our next name. With Dvont Smith,
24:15I would expect him to take a big leap forward with no AJ Brown. And at the same time, again, we are expecting this
24:22to be a much better offense with the change with the offensive coordinator.
24:25Now, with that being said, they did add in Eli Sters and Mai Lemon, two um pass catchers their rookie season. That
24:32should see volume. And we've never seen Devonte Smith finish higher than like the wide receiver 13 in points per game.
24:37So, I do want to point out that we haven't seen the elite volume, the elite production at the NFL level before for
24:44him. He's a little bit undersized, known as the Slim Reaper, but he did put up one of the best collegiate wide receiver
24:50seasons of all time. Now, Bree Hall, our next guy with Bree Hall, from a pure talent perspective, I would make an
24:58argument that he is a more talented running back than like Chase Brown. The issue is he's on the New York Jets, so
25:05it doesn't necessarily matter how great your individual talent is. The New York Jets project to be a bottom five offense in the league. though what's going for
25:13him though is there's very little competition in that backfield. Chris Lave will be our next guy. Just signed the extension. Massive leap forward last
25:21season finishing as the wide receiver eight with almost 17 points per game.
25:25But I do want to remind y'all um there are very real concerns regarding the concussion history for Chris L. And he
25:33gets one big hit to the head and he could be missing an extended period of time. Kairen Williams, our next guy.
25:39Kairen Williams historically has been the three-own workhorse for the Rams, seeing 88% of the snaps in 2024. That did fall down to 70% of the snaps this
25:49past season, as they did work Blake Cororm in um a little bit late in the season. The concern for Kairen in my
25:57mind isn't that Blake Cororm takes over as the starter. The concern would be that maybe Blake Cororm gets a little bit more goal line usage like we saw at
26:04the end of last year. Now, Javvante Williams, our next guy, the Dallas Cowboys project to be an incredible offense. Javvante has no additional
26:12competition for touches coming into this backfield. Pretty boring pick. Like, I don't think he has the ceiling to win fantasy leagues just cuz I don't think
26:20he's that type of player, but he's in the perfect situation. Tiggins will be our next guy. With Tigens, very similar to George Pickins. We can sit here and
26:28we could say, "Oh, okay. Second field to Jamar Chase." But the Cincinnati Bengals very easily could lead the NFL in both
26:34passing yards, passing attempts, and passing touchdowns. And if that happens, like we can go back and look two years ago, Tiggins averaged 18 and a half
26:42fantasy points per game and was the wide receiver six. Now, Higgins can never stay healthy himself. And obviously, you have the Burrow injury concerns. Josh
26:49Allen will be our next name. I want to point y'all back to the draft sheets. If you are playing in a 10 team league
26:56where you only start two wide receivers and one flex, you will see on the draft sheets Josh Allen is higher in these
27:02rankings because there it's more of an advantage to get the elite onesie like your tight end, like your quarterback because you don't have to go as deep at
27:11the wide receiver or running back position. However, if you're in a 12 team format with multiple flex spots, it's going to probably be a little bit
27:17more important to get your running backs and wide receivers early, which would mean you can push Josh Allen down the board. Josh Jacobs will be our next
27:25name. Jacobs, the big concern will be what does it look like from a legal standpoint for him. I actually had Jacobs in the Flock League last year. I
27:33mean, he was probably the textbook definition of why it was one of the best teams in the regular season earning a
27:39buy in the playoffs. And then his 4.8 8 fantasy points in week 16. Definitely put the nail in my coffin and had no way
27:47of me winning. But if y'all go back and remember, why did these weeks tank his season in weeks 16 and 17? Oh, it was
27:56cuz he was injured. He should have sat out. He should have just let Emanuel Wilson be the starting running back. But
28:02the dude thought he needed to suit up and prove that he was Mr. tough guy, ending my fantasy season early and also
28:08making his fantasy statistics look a little bit worse than they actually were. Um, Zay Flowers will be the next wide receiver. There was a little mini Z
28:16Flowers breakout last year, 14.3 fantasy points per game. Very similar to Derrick Henry though, like most of the season he didn't do much, but 28 points in week
28:25one and then 29.8 points in week 18. So, bookend with massive games. Travis ETN here at 37. With ETN, I think you have
28:36to say it's a worse situation going from the Jacksonville Jaguars where he really had no competition to the New Orleans Saints. And if we go through and if we
28:45look at how many points the Jags scored last season in comparison to what the projections currently are for the Saints, it's a safe thing to say that
28:54he's going to be in a much worse offense. The Jacksonville Jaguars averaged 27.9 points per game last season. Right now, the Saints are projected to score 21.6.
29:05So, you should see about a touchdown per game less in the offense that ETN plays in this year than he did last. And at
29:12the same time, you do have some competition with Kamara where it wouldn't be the biggest surprise in the world if they use Kamara as the
29:20receiving back. Now, moving down to our next tier, Tedoya McMillan's going to lead us off. I love McMillan. I have drafted this dude nonstop in the fourth
29:28round of underdog drafts. I would say he's like a discount Drake London because what's going to be keeping his cost suppressed is the fact that it's a
29:36garbage offense in Carolina, but he can see a 30% team target share because he is an absolute stud himself and you
29:44really don't have much target competition. Now, Lad Mcconkey will be our next name. Now, y'all know we printed money last year by fading Lad
29:53and instead going aggressively after Quinton Johnston, making Johnson our most drafted player. And what was funny enough was Johnston actually outproduced
30:03Lad McConi. If you throw these two guys side by side, which give me one second and I'll do this on the player
30:08comparison tool on the site for y'all.
30:10Yep, you can see the big Q 12.2 fantasy points per game in comparison to Lad Mani at 11.3.
30:17But now you have no Keenan Allen and the overall offense should be much better with the improvement to the offensive line as well as the coaching staff. So I
30:25think Lad's probably the better player between the two. I think both get a jump this season, but I would be more excited
30:31about Lad's jump because of the departure of Keenan Allen. Now, Garrett Wilson will be our next guy with Wilson.
30:38Unbelievable talent. Like, he finished with 14 fantasy points per game over the past two seasons. I know a lot of people
30:44are extremely excited about um the change away from Justin Fields, but again, it's still the New York Jets.
30:53If you go ahead and look at what sports books are putting out, this still projects to be a bottom five offense in
30:58the league. So, it's tough for me to get too too excited.
31:01Now, going over to 41, we are going to have a buuka. With a buuka, I've never seen anything like this, and I don't
31:08know what to make of it. You go through and you look at the first five games of his NFL career. He was on pace to look
31:16like a Justin Jefferson level rookie, a Jamar Chase level rookie. one of the best wide receivers in the league. And
31:26then everything fell off. In the first five weeks of his NFL career, he was the wide receiver three in points per game.
31:35Week six through 18, the wide receiver 56. I will lean back on he was a damn good prospect coming out of Ohio State.
31:43Baker Mayfield had injuries. This offensive line had injuries halfway through the year. Ibuka himself got injured in week six and I thought he was
31:50going to miss a decent amount of time and it just played right through it. So maybe that was the reason, but it's a
31:56concern nonetheless. Then Scataboo at 42 is good to go for camp. A very strong sign. Yo, I drafted him pretty damn late
32:04in the Flock League last year. Looked to be a massive hit. Ended up getting injured. But if we remove week one where
32:10he didn't start and week eight where he got injured and only look at the first seven weeks like he was trending towards
32:18being a league winning running back and keep in mind that's with the Giants offense struggling greatly with no Malite neighbors. Once you get neighbors
32:26in, I'm going to assume that he's going to be even better. But in those six games in which he played as the
32:32full-time starter, he was a top 10 running back in points per game with 19.1.
32:38Now Jaylen Waddle, our next guy, going to play with the Denver Broncos, I think, is very exciting. I default to Waddle as an incredible player. I think
32:49he just got held back by the Miami Dolphins offense over the past two years. A big tell for me with Jaylen
32:55Wadd is what it cost for the Denver Broncos to go out there and trade for him. They paid a firstround pick to get
33:02Waddle, which obviously an NFL team trading a first round pick does not come lightly. Terry McLaren is our next guy here. Very disappointing season this
33:10past year when he got injured and Jaden Daniels got injured as well. But we go back to Jaden Daniels in his rookie
33:17season. Um Terry McLuren was the wide receiver 16 when Daniels was healthy in his rookie year and you don't have much
33:24target competition here at all in Washington. Mike Evans will be our next guy with Evans. Horrendous season this past year. Wide receiver 42 in points
33:32per game. Obviously got injured but now he goes to the ners. I was thinking I was potentially going to be fading Evans
33:39but when we get the Ricky Pawol injury and their replacement is Debo Samuel.
33:45I'm definitely way less concerned about Debo Samuel than I would be of Ricky Pier Saul. So I think that bumps Mike
33:51Evans. Now Coulson Lovelin will be our next guy at 46. Lovelin unbelievable into his rookie season. 21 points in
34:00week 17, 25 points in week 18. We actually don't have the playoff games loaded into flockfantasy.com. So, let me go ahead and pull up what the Bears did
34:09in the playoffs as well because I think that's incredibly telling of the Coulson Lovelin usage and just exactly how good this dude looked in the divisional round
34:19against the Green Bay Packers. You can see he was their leading wide receiver or leading receiver with eight receptions and 137 receiving yards. And
34:28then the following week against the Los Angeles Rams, Coulson Lovelin yet again was this team's leading receiver with four receptions and 56 yards. He's
34:38incredibly young. He's only 22 years old. I mean, he was a top 10 NFL draft pick. So, Coulson Lovelin looks like
34:45he's set up to absolutely smash with the departure of DJ Moore as well. Um, so if you're in a double flex format, this is
34:52where I would put Lovelin, but if you were in a single flex league, obviously you can check our draft sheets, but he
34:57would be much higher, especially if you're in a 10-teamer. Now, moving down to Gtier, we are going to have Trevon Henderson leading us off here at 47.
35:06With Henderson, we had the massive spikes in weeks 10, 11, and 15. Raandre Stevenson took back over the starting job, though. Raandre Stevenson was the
35:14starter during the NFL playoffs. I like the upside case though for Trevian, a running back that I thought was incredibly talented coming out of Ohio
35:21State. I am still a believer, but there are very real red flags, which is why of course you can't put him up with the Ash
35:28and Gentamari and Hampton guys of that class. DeAndre Swift has been a top 24 running back in points per game every
35:36single season of his NFL career. He's played at least 16 games every year over the past three. Obviously, a big jump
35:43from 24 to 25. Big reason being the Chicago Bears offense is much better.
35:48Now, a concern that you can have, of course, is going to be centered around Kyle Manungai potentially going through and taking that step forward. Now,
35:59Bashel Tutin at 49 proved nothing as a rookie. Literally nothing. Was not able to get on the field even after they
36:07traded Tank Bsby. And the work that he did get, it's not like he looked like he was anything special. But the only
36:14additional competition that was added to this backfield this off seasonason when Travis ETN left was Chris Rodriguez who had foot surgery in the training camp
36:23update that we got as he's definitely not there but he's hoping to be back by week one.
36:28So based on Rodriguez's injury, I have a lot more faith in Tuton being the starting running back for a Liam Cohen
36:36offense which we saw what he did with ETN last year with Bucky Irving the year prior. Now, McGomery is going to be our
36:42next name. I am this damn close to swapping Montgomery and Bucky Irving. I just want to get more reports coming out
36:51of Tampa about the injury status with Bucky because the Buccaneers offensive line should be much better than they were a year ago. Um, my big concern
37:00again will be the injury stuff and the fact that they decided to give Kenneth Gainwell a ton of money and they paid
37:06Shawn Tucker a decent amount as well, which again doesn't seem super bullish for Bucky Irving to be a true three-9 running back. Quinn Sean Judkins at 52,
37:15I think he is much more talented than a lot of the players that we've talked about already. I think Judkins at this
37:21point of his respective NFL career is a much much better running back than David McGomery. I think he is a much better
37:28running back than DeAndre Swift, a much better running back than Bashel Tutin. I think you can make an argument he's a
37:33better running back than like Travis ETN, Javvante Williams. I think I would rather have Judkins than Javvante if Judkins was on the Cowboys. But the
37:42world we live in, Judkins isn't on the Cowboys. The world that we live in, Quinn Sean Judkins is on the Cleveland
37:47Browns. Jameson Williams had 53. JO did get a pretty big jump up in the second half of this past year. um two different
37:55things. Coaching staff changed who his calling plays and at the same time Sam Leaporty got injured. But um we'll see what happens this next season. I
38:03actually am more encouraged by Jameson Williams though after we saw the consistency from him in the second half of this past year. We're going to go
38:12Luther Burden at 54. Um if you're drafting like on underdog right now, Luther Burden goes way higher than this.
38:18I understand the thought process in having Luther Burden incredibly high because the ceiling is awesome. Like you go back to after his
38:28sophomore year in college, people thought he was possibly the number one wide receiver in the country um right there ahead of McMillan. He gets injured
38:38his junior year, yada yada yada. He ends up not being a round one NFL pick, but he goes to the top of round two. And
38:44very similar to Lovelin, he breaks out in a big-time way at the end of his rookie season and he is a super
38:50efficient wide receiver and now you have no Zakius and you have no DJ Moore. My hesitation in ranking Luther Burden as
38:56like a can't miss player is if he was a can't miss player would he have been playing behind Olid Zakias. Devonte
39:04Adams is our next guy 55. With Adams he is 33 years old. He's about to turn 34.
39:10So, we can see with the range of outcomes tool on fogfantasy.com, there are some of these guys that held on like
39:15Reggie Wayne, Larry Fitzgerald, they gave you really strong seasons at age 34, but there are other names that fell off like AJ Green, um Reggie White,
39:25Andre Johnson. So, I don't exactly know what Adam's going to be like. Obviously, the touchdowns were there, but I will say the yards per game was the lowest
39:34mark that we've seen of his NFL career since like 2015. Then Lamar Jackson is at 56. Lamar looked horrible last season, both from a real life
39:43perspective and a fantasy perspective, but the year prior he averaged 25 points per game. Changed with the coaching staff, and you want to excuse the away
39:51Lamar Jackson struggles last year um due to just injuries. Now going over to our next tier, Cardinal Tate, 57. Absolutely love the profile. I think he is a
40:01phenomenal player. This Titans offense can be improved year-over-year with the change in the coaching staff and the added weapons and you really don't have
40:09much target competition. Now, the holdup that you have is the Tennessee Titans, while they're improved, still probably not going to be great. Christian Watson
40:17at 58, I think you can look to take him at the 56 turn. If you maybe started off your draft with say the combination of
40:23like Ashton Genty, and Devon Achan with your first two rounds, right? If you go Genty, Achan, Josh Allen with your first
40:30three picks and then in rounds four, five, and six, you look to go wide receiver, I wouldn't fault you for going
40:36through and grabbing like say Z Flowers at the beginning of the fourth, in round five, seeing if you can take like Mike
40:42Evans and at the beginning of round six, seeing if you can take Christian Watson.
40:46Jerian Price getting great news where it sounds like he is the straightup starting running back for the Seattle Seahawks. The only hesitation is I do
40:53think Zack Sherman comes back at some point during the year and then it probably turns into a committee, but he's probably going to crush in the
40:59short term. Roma at 60 before the foot surgery. He was great at the beginning of the season, but obviously after the
41:08foot injury, um he actually didn't really do anything the rest of the year, but his rookie season was bad as well,
41:15but you have no DJ Moore and Olman Zakius gone. There should be more targets available and you love the Bears offense. Brian Thomas will be our next
41:21guy. With Brian Thomas, ton of competition in Jacksonville. You have Parker Washington, you have Jacobe Meyers, you have Britain Strings. He
41:27drafted another tight end looking to run more two tight end sets. And Travis Hunter, I think, is going to cycle through some at wide receiver. Um, Brian
41:35Thomas was horrible this past year. The hope is that you can just blame it on injuries and he is good to go for this
41:40season. Um Jordan Tyson at 62. I think he's an incredible player, but he does have a long list of injuries throughout
41:48his history and at the same time he's not in the best offense in the league.
41:52And you have Crystal Lave as competition. Tyler Boron, 63, as a rookie tight end, he was incredible in the first half of the year. His rookie
41:59season, he was still a top 10 tight end in points per game, but obviously the drop off happened in the second half of
42:04the season. I think it's going to be very similar to what you have with Jonathan Taylor. It's going to come down
42:08to Daniel Jones and what the overall offense looks like. But you have no Michael Pitman Jr. So you could see a
42:12step up with his targets share. DJ Moore will be at 64 for us. With DJ Moore, I think it is a phenomenal setup with a
42:19great offense in Buffalo with very little target competition. The issue is I am afraid that DJ Moore is just straight up washed at this point. Jaden
42:27Daniels at 65, Drake May at 66. I would roll this right into our next tier with some of these other guys like Jaylen
42:35Herz, um Joe Burrow. These are like the last quarterbacks that if I take them as my starter, I'm not drafting another
42:42one, right? I guess you could throw Caleb Williams on that list. We'll have Marvin Harrison here at 69. With Marv, every training camp clip is just him
42:50looking horrible, but I don't really care about drop balls in training camp.
42:54And the Mai limited 70 I absolutely love the prospect profile of. But I do think the camp reports are going to matter
43:00here with these rookies. But I'm going to try to keep this somewhat short.
