0:00fantasy football changed more today than it has in a very, very long time. Now, obviously, I think almost every single creator, yeah, looking at this right
0:09now, every single creator on flockfantasy.com did go through and update their rankings today and makes sense because again, today was a very,
0:18very big day. I'll show you my updated running back ranks and where I would expect us to see guys like Josh Jacobs,
0:26Marshon Lloyd, as well as even Caleb Johnson get drafted in this. I have Marshon Lloyd currently sitting at about I want to say running back 31 for me. So
0:38I have Marshon Lloyd as a mid RB3. I have Josh Jacobs all the way down close to running back 40 in the range of like
0:47Rashad White, Jaka Cross Merritt and then going through and looking at Caleb Johnson. I have Caleb Johnson at about running back 46. So with the handcuff
0:58Rese but yeah will be very interesting to see where these Packers running backs actually end up getting drafted because again these rankings they're my gut
1:08reaction right just because I'm going through and ranking these running backs here that doesn't mean that's where they're going to get drafted. What we're
1:15going to do first what we're in right now is a mock draft. This is just a mockdraft on flockfantasy.com.
1:21Um, now there's zero dollars at at the top for this $0 buy in blah blah blah.
1:27The draft we are doing after this is going to be a $500 draft. And with that $500 draft, I'm the only one putting in
1:37a buyin. I'm going to put $500 into the pot. Then I'm going to go through and get 11 random people from the YouTube
1:45live chat to join that draft with us.
1:48And then those people will buy in zero dollars. So there's going to be 500 total in the pot. And then the winner of
1:56the league at the end of the season is going to get all 500. So I'm excited to draft with y'all. I'm excited to make
2:04this happen. And yeah, we'll see. We have London off the board. That is going to give us Ashen Genty at the 206 to
2:12pair up with Amanra. Again, I did have Derk Henry ranked ahead of Ashen Genty when we initially got word of the ankle
2:20injury for Genty, but since then, it does appear that it's not the end of the world. It seems like this injury is not
2:27going to be that big of a deal for Genty himself.
2:32But let's go through and let's set up the free season pass giveaway. Let me make sure I have this good to go before
2:38I say anything. Yep, the free season pass giveaway is officially set up. So, if you wanted to enter in to win a free
2:45flockfantasy.com season pass at the end of this stream, all you got to do is drop a like on this live stream and then
2:52type the word season pass into the live chat. Those two things will enter you into winterfree flockfantasy.com season pass. And also, if you haven't gotten
3:01yours already, it is the best way to stay uptodate with all of the rankings throughout the entire year, not only from myself, but pretty much all your
3:10favorite creators you watch on YouTube.
3:12Plus, get access to all the flockfantasy.com tools such as the trade calculator, the my teams page, the power rankings, the whole nine yards. And
3:21yeah, it's only 34 bucks for the entire season. When you sign up with code flock, you are also going to get free
3:26questions that you can ask me in the live streams. And I'm live streaming every single day until Christmas.
3:33But let's swing this over. Benjamin says, "Love the app so far." Thank you, my friend. And yeah, I have good news
3:42for anybody that has downloaded the Flock Fantasy app. Um, it did get an update today. So, there were a few bugs
3:51that were reported yesterday. Again, yesterday was the first day ever that we had launched the Flockfantasy.com app.
3:59And yeah, of course, there were a few bugs, but I think that the majority of them should be squashed. So, it is
4:08pretty safe for you to go through and I'm going to sort by my rankings here. I do have Bree as the highest ranked
4:14player at the 307, but a pretty safe thing to say. Now, if you're using flockfantasy.com on your phone, I can be
4:22pretty damn sure that it's going to be better on your um better with the app than it will be on your phone. So, um download the
4:32flockfantasy.com app. I need to go through and update it myself. And for the people who have gotten it, um, I know this may be asking
4:42a lot, but if you don't mind going down and leaving it a fivestar review and writing something kind in the review,
4:52that would mean a ton to me. I would very, very much appreciate it.
4:58Now, let's see. Devont Smith goes to the 308.
5:03Tiggins goes at the 309. Z Flowers goes at the 310. And let me grab the screenshot. Um, and I do appreciate the
5:1314 people who left us five star reviews yesterday. And you'll actually have us at number 38 in the app store in the
5:22sports category. Now, if we could get this to a top five mark where I could screenshot it and post a tweet to
5:30everybody in the industry, it would help me out. I would very much appreciate it.
5:34So, yeah, of course, if you have the season pass, if you ever want to access any of the tools, it will be better in
5:39the app than it will be on mobile.
5:43Now, let's see. Jen Wadd goes at the 401.
5:50Darel says, "My ESPN linking won't work." Yeah, we did have that reported yesterday, but again, we just pushed out an update which hopefully will help you
5:58with linking your ESPN League with the app. So, try again. If not, please um I mean I would say try to update your app.
6:07Go to the app store, update, and then you should be good to go. And if you're still having problems, please email
6:11supportfogfantasy.com so they can go through and take a look at what's wrong with your account.
6:18Now, Travis CTN goes to the 404. When we have Genty and Brace here, we're obviously not stressing too too much about getting another running back in
6:25the fourth round. Um, I will go ahead and take Ted McMillan. He's the highest ranked player for me here. And I think
6:31when we have those two running backs, we're in a pretty damn good spot to just take the second receiver.
6:38Okay, DeAndre Swift goes to the 407. I wonder if we get a natural climb for these like fourth, fifth round running
6:46backs considering the fact that now you just have Jacob's not viable.
6:57Jacob's not interesting whatsoever.
7:04So supply and demand. If you remove one of the running backs, maybe just maybe the other guys such as ETN, Swift,
7:15McGomery, uh Jacobs goes to the 410.
7:18Again, this is the mock draft. That's somebody who took Josh Allen at the 210.
7:22So I'm not going to buy that at all in terms of that's where Jacobs is going now all of a sudden. I don't think
7:30that's happening at all. So, I'm going to ignore that.
7:36And in the $500 draft that we're going to do next, I think we'll get a better data point of where he's actually
7:42getting drafted.
7:45Okay.
7:49Now, JMO goes with the 505.
7:55Lamar goes 506.
7:58We're on the clock again.
8:00Gross. But Terry McLaren is my highest ranked player. I definitely think we want to take a wide receiver here. There are a couple different guys in this
8:06range that you could look at, including Luther Burton. And honestly, I may need to move Luther Burden back up now that we're in a world in which
8:17he is back at practice and looking like he's good to go. Week one.
8:29Chief says, "Will there be best baseball portfolio stuff on the app?" Um, I'm going to be honest, for now, there's definitely not going to be any best
8:36baseball stuff on the Flock Fantasy app.
8:39Um, that will most likely have to wait until next off season, just because there's only one week left of basketball drafts.
8:47Okay, now Roma goes to the 5'11. Tyler Warren goes
9:01512.
9:05Orange says, "I heard Avery drafted in his million-dollar buyin league today."
9:11I don't know if that is true.
9:20Um, I don't think it is.
9:31I could be wrong, but typically I think Avery flies to North Korea to do his million-dollar fantasy league, and he sent in a clip for the flock league, and
9:42he was still in Indiana.
9:46I'm going to take Carnell Tate here as the last wide receiver in this range, and then we should be able to get a
9:51quarterback on the way back. I mean, there's the Lamar team and the Allen team on the other side of us. Yeah, but
9:56typically Avery flies to North Korea for that $1 million fantasy league.
10:04Um, and I think last I heard his jet was still in Indiana. So maybe the draft is in a couple days, but I don't think it
10:11was today.
10:14Okay.
10:18God dang. That team at six has yet to take a wide receiver.
10:23Absolutely wild.
10:27Yeah, this is just a pure mock draft.
10:30People going and acting crazy with zero dollars at stake. It's allowed us to, in my opinion, get a very good team of
10:39Genty and Bree at running back and then wide receiver St. Brown, Tedaroa, Terry McLaren, and Cardinal Tate, wide receiver four.
10:49Okay, now Marv Godwin go at the end of the sixth. God, this Godwin rise has so much to do with the Igbuka injury and it just
11:00scares the crap out of me as somebody who needs Ibuka on their team to play well. I need you, buddy. Please, for the
11:08love of God. Joe Burrow goes to the 612.
11:12Marshon Lloyd goes to the 701.
11:24Okay, Jordan Addison 703 for us. We're not
11:43stressing about a wide receiver with this next pick, right? If we have Cardinal Tate as our wide receiver, four, I don't need to take another
11:49receiver in the seventh.
12:00DK Mechaf 706.
12:04Yeah, we're on the clock again. I think we are going to take Jayen Daniels here at the 707 and pair him up with Terry
12:09McLaren and go, what if the commanders aren't horrible?
12:27Now, Ballright says, "Puka went back to practice." Mason, yes, sir, I did see that. And I actually did go through and
12:35move Puka back over JSN in my rankings because Puka is at practice and it seems like he avoided the commissioner exempt
12:42list. Now, Marshon Lloyd goes at the 701 here for this draft. Um, ahead of Pard and RJ Harvey. I moved him right behind
12:50R.J. Harvey in my rankings, but I'm not going to fault anybody at all for taking Marshon Lloyd here. If they didn't have
12:58Caleb Johnson, I would be um I don't know. If they didn't have Caleb
13:09Johnson, I'd be in on this price. My hesitation is while I don't think Caleb Johnson's any good, at the same time, I kind of feel the
13:17same way about Marshon Lloyd. So, I feel like it's going to be a nasty
13:30running back by committee where I don't know if I want anything to do with either guy to be honest.
13:41Okay, Mai Lemon at the 802.
13:46Pitman goes 803. Dobbins off 804.
13:54Adam says Marshon Lloyd is a baller.
13:57Let's go through and let's talk about this for a second after we make our next pick. We're going to take a tight end
14:02here with Kyle Pittz.
14:06How could we be confident that Marshon Lloyd is a baller realistically? Let's go through and let's
14:15ask everyone this question because let's go through the career of Marshon Lloyd so far.
14:23Marshon Lloyd coming out of college, am I going to sit here and say he was a nothing running back? No, he was fine,
14:31right? Coming out of USC, he has a good size measures. He was a decent athlete.
14:37I will say he didn't really catch the ball much at USC. A 5.6% 6% team college target share and he went at about pick
14:44100 in the 2024 running back class.
14:46Right? So pick 100. Historically that's a range in which running backs don't do anything.
14:54The bus rate very very high. Marshon Lloyd gets to the NFL immediately injured.
15:02Immediately in 2024 he plays one game and he has six total rush attempts. in 2025, he does not play a single game. So, how could we
15:13call a running back that wasn't a great prospect? Like, here's the difference. Jonathan Brooks was also in that 2024 class and Jonathan Brooks
15:23has also kind of done nothing in the NFL, but Jonathan Brooks was a great prospect coming out of the University of
15:28Texas. like with a torn ACL, he still managed to be a second round NFL draft pick.
15:41Marshon Lloyd, on the other hand, very different scenario. So, I have no idea how we could be confident that Marshon Lloyd is any good at the game of
15:49football.
15:51Like, if we're going to be honest with each other, I'm going to take Blake Corm here at the 907. If we're going to be
15:56honest with each other, I think Marshon Lloyd's probably bad and Caleb Johnson's probably horrible.
16:03I mean, Caleb Johnson in terms of like just prospect profiles was almost more interesting coming out of Iowa.
16:12Like they both go pretty much the same exact pick of the NFL draft. Caleb Johnson was in college used more as a
16:18receiver than what we had with Marshon Lloyd.
16:24So, I think both running backs are bad.
16:29I'm not going to act like either one is phenomenal and you absolutely have to be in on Caleb Johnson, but to act like Marshon Lloyd is a stud
16:40that is finally getting his opportunity.
16:42No, he's been in the league for two years, hasn't been able to stay healthy, has had six total carries, and ultimately wasn't even that good of a
16:48prospect coming out of USC.
16:56So again, um, for me, I would rather have RJ Ar like again comparing him to Jonathan Brooks. I think Brooks is like
17:03the best name comparison, but Brooks was a great prospect coming out of the University of Texas.
17:12But, um, let's go through and let's get ready to give away the 11
17:24spots for free for this $500 league. So, the past four days, we've done two days where we just posted the link in the
17:31YouTube live chat. We've done one day where we posted it on Twitter. I think we've gone about a week without getting
17:37the Instagram crowd involved. So, today I think we will post the link to join the $500 draft on Instagram. We haven't
17:47done this for about a week. And yeah, again, my goal every single time that we do these drafts is I want as many new
17:57people in them as possible. I'm gonna go ahead and I'm probably gonna take Kyle Manungai with this pick in the 10th, but
18:06um I'm just gonna go through and post it on this Instagram story the link to the draft.
18:15And Ken says, "You did IG like four days ago again?" I think we did it five days ago. Over the past actually, no. Yeah,
18:20we did it four days ago. Over the past three days, we've done two YouTube chats, we've done one Twitter, and let's
18:26go through and let's do one Instagram here on the fourth day.
18:32Okay, now let me grab the link.
18:40And again, if you have already joined a draft, please don't join another. If I notice that you are in multiple leagues,
18:48you are going to get removed from this draft just like we do every single day.
18:54So, I'm going to go through take this photo. Let's get the link on here.
19:01Okay, so that is posted.
19:04Let's run over pull up the league real quick. There are 11 open spots. It has been posted and let's see how fast. And
19:14here's also the link if you want to see it on the screen. You can do the Instagram version or the screen version,
19:19whatever is going to be past faster for you. Now, Berg the Berg is in and I am almost certain that Berg the Berg has
19:27been in one of these drafts before and Kings win has been in a draft as well.
19:33Let's go through and let's double check this. I did put out the warning, do not join a second draft if you've already
19:38been in one. We're trying to get as many different people as we possibly can. But let me confirm if Berg the Berg or King
19:47something. Yeah, Berg the Berg. I did see you in this one. I did recognize that name. So, I am sorry, brother, but
19:55you are going to be removed from this.
19:57And let's see if I can find Is that King one Bob? Is that the same king? No, this is King K and Kings one win. Um, so
20:06different king there.
20:08Let me just go through and see if I can find that other king from Again, we're doing this every single night. I'm
20:14trying to get as many different people from the chat in these leagues with us as humanly possible.
20:20Okay, we are looking for kings right now in the leagues that we have done. We are looking for this is King Igbuka, but
20:29that's a different king. So, actually, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the Kings are new. the people that have been in the league before is just Berg the Berg.
20:39Now, let's go through and let's remove Berg the Berg. I apologize, my friend.
20:44Again, I appreciate you hanging out with us in these live streams, but um again, you've been in too many of these.
20:51I recognize her name immediately. So, we're going to move Berg CC2 Trappy immediately fills his spot, which I do not recognize that name.
21:02And yeah, if it wasn't working for you, clearly um you clicked the link late, you try to copy and paste the link late,
21:10whatever it was, cuz 11 people got in here. No problemmo.
21:14So, let me set the draft to happen today. And let's randomize the order and see what pick we're going to get. We're
21:20going to get pick number two. I think this is my first time getting pick two in a very, very long time. And I am very
21:29interested to see where does Jacobs go in this draft. Where does Marshon Lloyd go in this draft?
21:36Where does Caleb Johnson go in this draft?
21:43Let's try to get this.
21:50Ah, god dang. What the heck was that?
21:53All right. Are we back? Trying to set the draft window up for everybody here.
22:00Okay, looks like we're good to go here.
22:02Everybody can see the board.
22:06I I don't know why this won't work. Um Oh, bam. Perfect. Just like that. Let's go ahead. Let's start this draft. We are
22:15in at the second spot.
22:19And never go full Jeff says invite expired. Full Jeff, brother. I'm gonna be honest with you. The invite probably expired when 11 people joined the draft
22:29before you. Got a I got a hinch. Now, I'm no Dr. Dittle.
22:35I'm no mad scientist. I'm no technology expert, but I believe that the invite link, yes, probably expired when 11
22:46people joined the draft already. So again, I want to preface that by saying I'm an idiot. I get things wrong all the
22:54time, but once the draft is full, I would imagine you can no longer join the draft.
23:01Okay, after we take Bejon, which is the chalk pick, we do see Jamar Chase go at three, CMC go at four. So a little bit
23:10of a surprising selection there to see CMC over Puka. Now, for me, I was slightly concerned with Puka before
23:20today, but now we're getting um punishments coming down from the league. We get Josh Jacobs getting hit with one. Pukanua dodges it and at the
23:32same time we're in a world in which he's back at practice. Like, I think
23:41Puka has to be the 104 now. And I mean, I was somebody that was getting worried, right? He hadn't practiced in like three
23:47weeks, and I went through and I moved him down to the 105 in my rankings. But today, I did move Pukuna back to the 104
23:54after he did go back to practice. Now, at the end of round one, we have a massive run of running backs. We have
24:00Jonathan Taylor, James Cook, Devon Chen, Chase Brown. CD Lamb goes to the 112.
24:06I'm going to assume we get Justin Jefferson off here at 13. And again, this is the draft assistant that I am
24:15using right here. Typically, I go to custom draft sheets. I sort by my rankings because that takes into account the platform that we are drafting on the
24:23league settings of this league as well.
24:25And this is what I'm drafting off of. It comes with the season pass. Typically, I hide it behind myself because I don't
24:32want the people that I'm drafting against to see the exact list that I am using. If it is a mock draft, um I'm
24:39completely fine to go through and share that information with everyone. But if it's a draft that has $500 up for grabs,
24:45I'm not wanting to share that willy-nilly with everybody here. I am sorry.
24:51Okay. Now, Kenneth Walker goes at the 204.
25:01Malik Neighbors goes 205. Massive rise for Neighbors here.
25:08shouldn't impact our slot much again when we're over here at the two-hole.
25:13Like, it's not that big of a surprise to see Neighbors go like the 210, the 209.
25:17But maybe this JSN team gets a really interesting start. Like, this JSN team has the opportunity to start their draft off, which is exactly what they do with
25:27JSN as well as Ash and Genty.
25:31That is insane.
25:35Insane picks through the first two rounds.
25:41Okay, Dererick Henry goes to the 207.
25:47Drake London goes at the 208.
25:56Nico goes at the 209. Okay, so I have two guys that are very clear for who I would take here at the 211 if they make
26:05it to us. AJ Brown goes, so at this point I think we are going to go ahead and we are going to take Brock Bowers at
26:12the 211 to pair up with Bejian Robinson.
26:15I would have preferred AJ Brown to start running back wide receiver to give ourselves the flexibility. And I would have especially taken AJ Brown there at
26:22the 211 knowing that both Bowers as well as McBride are available. So, it'd be a damn good chance that McBride would have
26:28made it back around to us at the 302 if we would have gone like AJ Brown there at the end of the second. So, um it
26:34doesn't work out that way. Obviously, when you take Bowowers, there's no world ever in which you're drafting McBride.
26:40Let's all be on the same page here.
26:42Unless it's a tight end premium format, if you have Brock Bowers on your team, do not take Trey McBride.
26:48It's not ideal to throw one of those tight ends in the flex because if you draft like say Bowowers at the end of
26:53the second, McBride at the beginning of the third, your third round pick, you're only ever able to start in the flex the
27:00entire season.
27:03I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to reach here, but we have a running back.
27:07I want a wide receiver here through the first three rounds, especially knowing there's a damn good chance I want to go
27:12running back, running back at the four five turn. So, we're going to pull Chris Ave up the board here, which I think is
27:17acceptable considering the Jordan Tyson injury. But yeah, again, I want to reiterate that if you decide to draft Bowers and McBride on the same team, you
27:29are actively deciding to draft somebody in the third round that the only spot you could potentially put them in for your starting lineup would be the flex.
27:37You lose so much flexibility with your roster when you go through and do that.
27:42It is horrendous. Maybe if you know for a fact that your league mates are going to go through and they're gonna overpay
27:51for one of the tight ends, then sure, go ahead and do it. But I know my league mates and if I were to go bully tight
27:57end and take two elite tight ends, you know what would happen? Um, they would laugh at me when I threw one on the
28:04trade block.
28:06They would literally laugh.
28:10Okay, now McBride goes 307.
28:28God, y'all have no idea um what Zufa just sent in our league chat for his clips for tomorrow's video.
28:36Hey, let me know in the chat. Good idea or bad idea? I'm going to be honest. I recorded it anyway. What I recorded
28:42today for tomorrow's video on the Flock Fantasy YouTube channel because I'm going to be on I'm going to keep it a
28:47buck with y'all here. Okay, keep this in this live stream. Don't share this with anybody outside.
28:53The football season needs to get here because I'm running out of video ideas.
28:58I try to challenge myself. I try to say, "Okay, in August, I'm going to make a video every single day. It's August
29:0630th. I'm out of ideas. We need the season to get here. We need things to start happening. At least we got some
29:14Jacob's news today.
29:16But anyway, um, let me know what y'all think of this video idea for tomorrow's on this channel. I had a history of the
29:26flock league video where it's about a 15inute video where I go through the secret history of the flock league. Talk about how it got started, what happened
29:36year one, what happened year two, and how it is going so far in year three.
29:44Let me know one if you like that video idea and two if
29:54um y'all have any video ideas for me to make before the season gets here because your boy kind of needs one. We've talked
30:00about running back rankings, wide receiver rankings, top 100 rankings, my favorite running backs to draft, my favorite receivers to draft, my least
30:09favorite running backs, my least favorite wide receivers, the waiverwire pickups. talked about it all.
30:16Okay, Luke says, "Won't be a biased video at all." I try to make sure um it's not biased.
30:26Hino says, "Play Jinxy in a triple draft." Oh, dear God. I'm telling you right now, I very much want to play
30:33Jinxy in a Clash Royale draft. Very, very much want to do it.
30:39But let me think if there's anything else to say. Lovelin goes at the 405. Yeah, but there will be a Flock League video that
30:47comes out tomorrow morning on the Flock League channel. And shout out y'all because that channel just hit 80,000
30:58subscribers. That channel's gained 30,000 subs in like a couple weeks now. Of course, it
31:11doesn't hurt that we have this man in it now. No, I'm not talking about Junko.
31:17Instead, I am talking about Nathan, my Pookie Bear.
31:21Um, but yeah, absolutely insane.
31:26Now Montgomery slides up to the 406. T Higgins makes it to the 408.
31:34This team at big five is just loving life right now.
31:39Puka Nakua, Drake London, T. Higgins at wide receiver. And then running back Javante.
31:50Oh my gosh.
31:53Absolutely insane value. Now, for me, looking at my draft board, there are two guys I would clearly want. One of them
32:01goes to the 409. We'll see if we get the other.
32:06If you're looking at sleeper ADP, Josh Jacobs is the highest ranked player. I'm going to keep it a buck with you. I'll
32:14be honest here. Josh Jacobs is not at the top of my rankings right now. Okay?
32:20Okay, I don't want to give away too much till I'm on the clock, but I will give you a little spoiler alert. I am not
32:26taking Josh Jacobs in the fourth round.
32:31All right, we just get absolutely sniped. Higgins, Tedaro, McMillan, Garrett Wilson. All three of these are phenomenal selections at the end of the
32:40fourth round. These teams great picks. I am very jealous that you got to make them. Now, I'm going to go through. I'm
32:47gonna take Quinn Sean Judkins at the 411. This is why I decided to draft Chris Ave at the beginning of the third
32:55because just looking at what typically is available here at the end of the fourth, the beginning of the fifth, typically running backs are going to be
33:03the highest ranked players for me.
33:06Now, I may do something incredibly reckless here. I'm going to be honest with y'all. Um, viewer discretion is advised.
33:16And actually, you know what we're going to do instead?
33:21I'm not going to let y'all see this pick. We're not going to talk about it.
33:24I'm going to make it. Y'all won't get to see it and we can all move on and pretend that it didn't happen because
33:31maybe, just maybe, we reached significantly. Okay.
33:40Maybe, just maybe, we took Christian Watson at the 502.
33:48Um, yes, I have him in the flock league.
33:52Yes, I drafted him in the sixth round there. Maybe, just maybe, I am becoming irrationally excited because I think the Packers are going to throw the ball 50
34:02times a game.
34:05So get your L's in the chat.
34:11Get those nasties out.
34:15I know it's gross. I know you want to make fun of me. Christian Watson was not the highest ranked player that I had.
34:22The highest ranked player I had is Jadarian Price, but he was the highest ranked wide receiver. And the thing is at the 67 turn, we're not sure if we're
34:33getting a wide receiver on the way back.
34:38We are not sure we're getting a receiver. Luther Burton was one of the other top receivers in my rankings. The top wide receivers in my rankings at
34:46that pick were Watson Burton, J Mo, Terry McLaren, and DJ Moore.
34:52They're all in the same tier. I think you can go in any direction that you want.
34:59Okay, Tyler Warren at the 503. I don't fault that team at all for taking Tyler Warren there. Obviously, there's no way
35:06in hell I can take Tyler Warren though when we have Brock Bowers.
35:12Okay, Terry McLaren goes to the 507.
35:24This is the weird ass team.
35:29Very very weird. And I would say this is like the absolute earliest earliest earliest earliest you could
35:39ever consider Marshon Lloyd. I do not have him ranked here. I would not draft him here. But if you were to take
35:45Marshon Lloyd over Jadarian Price, Bashel Tuton, Quinn Sean Judkins, you would need to see help. You would need to see a specialist
35:54and I would be concerned for you. All right.
36:00However, if you take Marshon Lloyd right before Trevian Henderson goes off the board, right before Amadre Stevenson goes off the board, I may say like, "Oh,
36:10okay. Well, I don't agree with that. I wouldn't have done it." But I'm at least not sending you to an institution.
36:21I'm at least not locking you away for life.
36:28And ooh, you know what just happened? I did not see this, but the Saints are placing Devin Neil on the injured
36:36reserve with the hamstring.
36:40So, we have Kamar injured, Devin Neil injured, wheels up for Travis ETN. I'm assuming Alvin
36:49Kamari did not go on the IR.
36:56Christian Kirk going to begin the season on injured reserve as well.
37:02Obviously, I saw the Jordan Tyson news that was expected. Still sucks, don't get me wrong.
37:10Um JJ McCarthy did make the team. I thought McCarthy was not going to make the Vikings team, but um he is
37:16officially on the 53.
37:21Xavier Estrepo made the roster as well.
37:24Tank Dell went to the IR. So bump Kahan Booty and Jaylen Null could potentially be draftable in best ball
37:33as you have no Jaden Higgins and no Tank Dell.
37:39Isaac Gerindo goes on the PUP as well.
37:42James Connor on the IR.
37:54And then obviously a lot of people are excited about Aaron Donald coming back, which hasn't played football in over two years, but last time he played he was
38:05first team AllP Pro. He's 35 years old.
38:10Let me do a little bit of research here.
38:13When is the last time a 35year-old defensive lineman made first team
38:25allpro?
38:28Brian Thomas goes at the 607.
38:31Jacobs is still available. I'm gonna be honest with you here.
38:38Um, I am probably not wanting Jacobs.
38:51Okay.
38:55Tucker Craft 609. I don't like the Tucker Craft pick because there was only one team after you that didn't have a
39:00tight end.
39:02Rankings right now, quarterbacks are at the top. You could look at some running backs like Pard Harvey, DK Mechaf at wide receiver, blah blah blah. This is a
39:10six-point passing touchdown format. So, typically I don't necessarily um I didn't realize this. Cameron Hayward made first team all pro in 2024
39:20at 35 years old.
39:23Literally only two seasons ago. Dear God.
39:29Dear God.
39:33Chuba Hubard goes here at the end of the sixth.
39:40Who do I want?
39:43Close your eyes.
39:45Viewer discretion advised.
39:50Nothing worse than taking Christian Watson in the fifth and following it up with DK Mechaf in the sixth.
39:58What else am I going to do? Take Courtland Sutton?
40:02Michael Wilson, Drake May would be viable. I took Drake May at the end of the seventh in the Flock League. Again, this is a six-point
40:10passing touchdown format, so I'm less enticed by the rushing upside of these QBs.
40:19Okay, Courtland Sutton goes, so the top running backs according to ADP are
40:26Jacobs, Harvey, Pard. I have it as I may go Harvey here. Lloyd is in
40:40consideration, but I think we go RJ Harvey as our seventh running back.
40:48Sorry, not seventh running back, seventh round pick.
40:54Okay.
41:04So now running back we have Bejon running back one, Judkins running back two, RJ Harvey running back three,
41:14wide receiver all wide receiver one, Watson at two, DK Metaf at three, and then we have the elite tight end with
41:22Bowers.
41:26The 2v2 question should be, and I really want to know your opinion because this is what makes or breaks the decision on
41:34if it was a horrible decision to draft Brock Bowers.
41:41Would you rather have Sam Leaporta and George Pickkins or would you rather have Brock Bowers
41:51and DK Metaf?
41:56Please spam the chat. Would you rather have Bowers and Metaf or Leaporta and Pickins?
42:06That's really the decision point here on if it was a bad decision to take Bowers where we did.
42:15We got Pickkins and Leaporta. Pickins and Leaporta. Pickins and Leaporta.
42:18Bowowers. Pickkins. Pickings. Pickings.
42:20Bowowers. Bowowers.
42:26Pickins, Bowers Pickins Pickins Bowers Pickkins Bowers Pickkins Pickkins Pickkins, Pickkins, Bowers. So, it does
42:35look like chat is split here, but more people on the Pickins side than the Bower side.
42:43Let me go through and pull up the points per game gap that we've had with these guys. Again, I would expect
42:50Pickkins to be worse this year than he was last, assuming that we do not get a high ankle sprain for CD Lamb. Again,
42:59I would expect Bowowers to be better as the Raiders do currently project to be the most improved offense in the league,
43:04but it's still a decent little starting spot, right, to see what these guys did last year. So, Leaporta and Bowers last
43:13season, the points per game gap between them was about three. About three for their difference in points per game. Going
43:23over to Metcaf as well as George Pickins, the points per game gap between them was about five.
43:34Now, again, I would expect Pickkins to be slightly worse this year than he was last. I don't think he's going to be the
43:39wide receiver six in fantasy again. I would expect Bowers to be slightly better this year than he was last given the fact that the Raiders are supposed
43:47to be much better, but yeah, not something I feel great about.
43:59Let's move this down so y'all can see everything.
44:07Now, Quinton Johnson goes at the end of the seventh round here.
44:13Josh DS goes at the 712.
44:30For us, it's honestly a little surprising to see Jayen Daniels fall this far. Six-point passing touchdown format. It should be
44:39the expectation that Jaylen Herz falls, but God dang.
45:05Harold Fannon goes 802. Yeah, I mean we're past the Harold Fannon, Josh Downs, Jaden Reed range, and Jaden Daniels is still on the board. Keep in
45:13mind, these are the same league settings as the Flock League. And Sal took Jaden Daniels at like the 612.
45:26Okay.
45:32Jacob's 803.
45:36So, Jacob's ahead of Marshon Lloyd here.
45:38Lloyd's still on the board, right? Yeah.
45:40Marshon Lloyd's actually the highest ranked player for me outside of Jaden Daniels. Daniels goes, but running back-wise, Marshon Lloyd has been my top
45:50RB for quite some time. He's the last guy in this tier.
45:54Daniels 805, even in a six-point passing touchdown format. You have to say that is phenomenal value.
46:15Okay, Jordan Mason goes 807.
46:21Biggest need on our team here is very easily the wide receiver position.
46:28Like obviously Bejon does give us such an advantage at running back that we really only need to hit on one of Quinn
46:33Sean Judkins or RJ Harvey which I feel decent about.
46:42Blake Cororum 808.
46:56So fine for us to see the running backs go.
47:00Alec Pierce 809.
47:03I would have loved to get Alec Pearson the way back.
47:11Three guys that actually there are four guys. I think I may actually get some pretty good values here.
47:21Anduro Zack, I appreciate you always hanging out with us, my guy. In my opinion, Jaden Daniels does not get moved up with the six-point passing
47:28touchdown format because the guys that six-point pass passing touchdowns are going to move upwards.
47:36So, we're going to take Mai Lemon.
47:42Yeah, I think you can make an argument for Marshon Lloyd, but I think our team needs a little bit more help at running
47:48back. But the guys that are going to get moved up the most in a six-point pass passing touchdown format are going to be
47:53the quarterbacks that maybe aren't going to run the ball at all, but could potentially lead the NFL in passing touchdowns like Dak Prescott, Matthew
48:00Stafford, Justin Herbert. Um, where Jaylen Herz, Jaden Daniels are such an advantage in a four-point passing touchdown format just because if they
48:09have 10 rushing touchdowns, it's going to be very difficult for like Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford to catch up on them. I mean, catch up with them
48:17literally unless they score 40 touchdowns. Now, Michael Pitman Jr.
48:21going at the 812. I had Pitman as one of the two players I was looking at on the way back. I mean, one of the three
48:27players. The two guys I'm looking at here at the 902. And I would be fine drafting either guy would be Marshon
48:36Lloyd or Caleb Williams. Kenneth Gainwell goes ahead of Marshon Lloyd in this instance.
48:44Can y'all please spam the chat right now letting me know who you would rather have? Would you rather have Marshon Lloyd or Caleb Williams here at the
48:53beginning of the ninth?
49:01Marshon Lloyd or Caleb Williams? Those are the two highest ranked players for me. I have Caleb and then Lloyd with my
49:08sheets.
49:14Oh my god. Oh my god. That is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened. That's more embarrassing than taking Christian Watson in the fifth.
49:24Literally could not be worse.
49:28I I don't think I can come out of the t-shirt for the rest of this. This This is how the rest of the live stream's
49:34going to have to go.
49:36Literally, we get a gift of two very exciting players falling to us at the beginning of the ninth. I'm over here
49:42reading the chat trying to get a second opinion here and I managed to autopick, I managed to
49:51let the timer go all the way down.
49:55So, instead of getting instead of getting Caleb Williams, instead of getting Marshon Lloyd, we end up freaking autodrafting Dak Prescott.
50:05How the hell is Dak the guy that we get autoed?
50:10Not only is Caleb the higher guy in my rankings, but he's the higher guy in ADP.
50:16Why would you ever Why would you ever autodraft me? The guy
50:30that's lower in AD. I understand not autodrafting me Marshon Lloyd cuz he's like 150 in ADP. Doesn't matter if he's highest in my rankings, right?
50:40But how how does it make sense to just go
50:54three quarterbacks down the list at ADP and autodraft me that guy?
51:06Like obviously y'all know I'm used to ripping underdog drafts every single day. Underdog you autodraft, they give you top of ADP. They give you the best
51:15player. They don't throw a dart at the dart board and wherever it lands, that's just the magical guy that you get.
51:27Okay, Dalton Concaid goes at the 912.
51:43I mean, for us, it's good to see tight ends go, right? We have powers.
51:48So, get all the freaking tight ends off the board for me here.
52:06I'm just embarrassed.
52:16Jordan Tyson goes 102. I like the Tyson pick considering you can just throw him in your IR. And finally, the Saints
52:22moved him to the IR today so I could go ahead and the Flock League were playing on Yahoo. So today was the first day I
52:29was eligible to move Jordan Tyson to my IR slot.
52:35Okay.
52:44Kyle Manungai goes 10:03, Jackson Dart 1004.
53:00If we take our first quarterback in the ninth in a six-point pass passing touchdown league, I don't mind grabbing another quarterback and playing the
53:06matchups between them. Here's one question that I actually need to ask y'all, right? Because it's something I'm trying to figure out in the flock league
53:15specifically. I'm going to need to set my waiver wire for tomorrow.
53:21Who would y'all rather have in terms of a bench spot?
53:33So, I move Jordan Tyson to the injured reserve.
53:38So now I have one open bench and I need to pick up a defense and a kicker. So at the very
53:49minimum I need to drop one player. The player I plan on dropping is going to be Shawn Tucker. I was kind of hoping Shawn
53:55Tucker today was going to find himself in a different situation. Maybe he would have been a Green Bay Packer instead of
54:00Caleb Johnson. And then I would have expected him to absolutely crush Okay, we're on the clock again.
54:10I'm not taking a tight end. We are running back, wide receiver, or possibly a quarterback. We're definitely going to go with receiver here, though, because
54:17I'm stupid enough to still draft Xavier worthy. So, we're going to take worthy hookah horns. But anyway, this what I got to ask y'all.
54:24So, here's my team in the Flock League, right? Beware. It is light mode, so it's going to be bright. So, we have Drake
54:31Maya, quarterback. Running back, we have Taylor, ETN. Wide receiver, we have Jefferson Igbuka. We have Kyle Pitts at tight end. And then we have Christian
54:39Watson, Jameson Williams in the flex spots. Down on the bench, we have Xavier Worthy, Dalton Concaid, Ray Davis, Well Robinson, Shawn Tucker, Brian Robinson,
54:49and Jordan Tyson in the IR. So we have an empty kicker, empty defensive spot.
54:54So we need to go through and we actually have one empty bench spot that we can pick up since we moved Tyson to the IR.
55:00So we're going to pick up a kicker. I already know who I'm getting. Blah blah blah. Doesn't matter. But then I need to
55:06drop one player for a defense. So I'm going to drop Shawn Tucker for a defense. We're on the clock again. Got
55:12to make sure we don't get autoed.
55:15How bad's our wide receiver? F it. This is like the last wide receiver. This is our last chance we could ever take a
55:21wide receiver in this draft. Let's go Jacob Myers. But anyway, this is what I need to figure out. So I'm gonna have to
55:26go through. I'm going to again pick up a kicker, throw a kicker in there, but then I'm going to need to drop somebody
55:34to pick up a defense. I'm going to drop Shawn Tucker to pick up a defense. Then the question that I'm interested in is
55:42if you were me, if Drake May was your quarterback, six-point passing touchdown league, would you cut
55:51a handcuff running back like Ray Davis and pick up Jackson Dart?
55:59Because right now, here are the players on the waiverwire.
56:05Here are the best Waverwire names.
56:07Jackson Dart is sitting out there on waiverss for us to get.
56:13The best quarterbacks on the waiverwire are Dart, Kyler Love, running backs Caleb Johnson, which I will be placing a bid for, Jaden Blue,
56:24not anymore, Naji Harris, Nicholas Singleton. So, running back very thin.
56:29wide receiver.
56:34Actually, sorting by percent owned is a horrible way to do this. A wide receiver, I would specifically just want to look at the rankings on flock. And
56:42then tight end, you got like Hunter Henry, Chig. I I'm already rostering two tight ends.
56:49So, the question I'm essentially asking is, would you rather have Jackson Dart or Ray Davis?
56:59You have Drake May already at quarterback on your bench. Would you rather have Jackson Dart or Ray Davis? Let me know
57:07in the chat.
57:11Okay, we got Dart. Dart Dart. Davis.
57:14Dart. Davis. Dart.
57:17Dart.
57:21Zufa says drop Jonathan Taylor. Uh, I'll go consider my friend. Dart. Dart. Dart.
57:26Dart.
57:28dart. Yeah, it looks like most people are on us dropping Ray Davis. I don't know if I will.
57:38My thought is like if we get an injury to a quarterback, could then we find some trade value in sending Drake May.
57:48if we have like the an actual viable backup and most people in the league don't. And then we could like trade May
57:54and pick up Jordan Love and play the combo of Jordan Love, Jackson Dart.
58:04Okay, Jonah Coleman goes to the 121 for us with our next few picks. We're looking at running backs and then probably
58:15another QB.
58:22Okay. Sam says, "Where do you buy all your jerseys, Mason?" So, I actually don't buy my jerseys. So, obviously, this is a privilege that I have that I
58:32know a lot of people don't, but um when you make fantasy football videos on YouTube, you get a lot of NFL fans,
58:42right? like um a lot of NFL players watch these videos. So, I didn't buy this Tucker Craft jersey. This is actually a jersey that Tucker Craft sent
58:51me. I think he wore this in on a Thanksgiving game a couple years back.
58:58Um it took me a while to wash out all the stains, but yeah, I didn't purchase it. I just um it go through it. Typically, a lot of
59:08times what once that what players want to do is they want to fly me to their games. They want to bring me down onto
59:14the field so they can like swap jerseys with me after, right? Take pictures. I mean, the whole nine yards. Again, what
59:21I typically have my agent tell them is like, "Hey, man. I know obviously during the NFL season, you like a guy like
59:28Tucker Craft, he doesn't have much going on, but I got a lot of work to do at Flock. Like, I got a lot of live
59:34streams. I have a lot of videos I have to make. So, it's tough for me to travel. Like, I I can't really go to
59:40those games to hang out with my fans, but um I try to be nice to them anyway, right? I try to let them feel like
59:48they're connected with me some way. So, I let them send me jerseys and I'll go like, "Hey, Tucker Craft, don't worry,
59:54man. Send me your jersey and I'll wear it on a live stream for you." So, that's typically how I get so many jerseys.
60:00It's not buying them. It's just the um NFL players sending them my direction because they want to feel like they're a piece of a
60:09part of the live stream. Okay, so let's get ready for our next guy. Um y'all may
60:18hate me for this one. Kami Fairon goes, "Okay, I'm gonna take Mahomes and play the matchups here quarterback between Dak and Mahomes."
60:29Okay.
60:34Now, Houston Texans goes at the 1212.
60:41This next pick, y'all going to hate.
60:53Let's see what happens here.
61:02Um, Jordan says, "What happened with the hats?" We are going to start shipping out the free hats. And yeah, I y'all are
61:10going to hate this next pick. If we remove tight ends, my highest ranked players, according to my draft sheets, are going to be Kenan Allen and Caleb
61:18Johnson. We've already drafted one, two, three, four, five, six receivers. I don't want a seventh. So, y'all can make fun of me all you want. Caleb Johnson,
61:27welcome to the squad in the 13th round, buddy.
61:32After Ray Davis and Isaiah Pacheco off the board, I know Caleb Johnson's probably horrible at the game of football, but I got news
61:41for you. Marshon Lloyd's probably also horrible at the game of football if I'm going to be honest.
61:48But anyway, with the free flockfantasy.com hats, we are going to officially start shipping those out next week. Again, I
61:58wanted to wait as long as we possibly could to make sure as many people as possible had the opportunity to fill out
62:06that Google form if they wanted a hat.
62:09But here is your chance. If you want a free flockfantasy.com hat, I ordered 2,000 hats to give away
62:17from y'all, go over to flockfantasy.com.
62:21Um, or you could probably do this in the flock app now. Just go to the post page and fill out the Google form. One, let
62:28me know what hat y'all want.
62:31Two, let me know where to ship the hat to. And three, let me know what your email is on flockfantasy.com
62:40so we can look you up.
62:44So yeah, we're going to start shipping those out next week.
62:49And I may or may not have exciting news regarding us ordering more hats. I just got to make sure that it's in the
62:58budget. So, not going to promise anything yet, but it's looking like it is a
63:07possibility we have more hats coming in, but we got to make sure that it is not financially a horrible
63:17decision. So, we'll have a better read on that relatively soon.
63:30Trey Tucker goes to the 1309. This range, it's like the best ball wide receivers, right? Like Trey Tucker, I think in like underdog drafts, he could
63:39be very good. I just realistically don't know when you could ever put him in your starting lineup in a regular reddraft
63:45league.
63:51Assan says, "Mason, next year do shirts.
63:53I can get um them for you for cheap as hell and we do the design together. Um possibly the issue with shirts
64:01is again I don't sell any merch. We just give it away for free. Um y'all support this live stream more than enough by
64:08going through and just getting the flockfantasy.com season pass. I need to stop saying flockfantasy.com because now that we have an app, it's just flocky
64:17season pass. But um so we just give away the hats for free. I don't want to like sell merch.
64:26Seems like it'd be a lot to do. So, I like keeping the merch stuff as simple as possible. And with hats, we don't
64:32have to keep real inventory of like each size because like if you think about like the hats, we essentially have eight
64:38total designs.
64:40So, for the 2,000 hats with the eight total designs, we ordered 250 of each hat. So, in our tracking stuff, I know,
64:49oh, okay, we have 250 of each hat.
64:52When you all fill out the Google forms, we go, here's 250 people that get this type of hat, 250 people that get this
64:57type, 250 that get this type. So there's eight SKs, but say we were to do eight shirt designs, and then there are small,
65:05medium, large, extra large, double XXL, and triple XXL, then all of a sudden we have 48 SKs of inventory.
65:15So, the shirts are a lot harder just because with the hats, all I need to know is one, which hat do you like? Two,
65:22where do I ship the hat? With the shirts, I need to know what shirt do you like, where do I ship the shirt, and
65:28what size are you? And that extra variable actually adds a considerable amount to it.
65:37But I'm not saying we won't do it. I'm just explaining why we typically do the hats because it's honestly just easier.
65:44Cam Little goes at the 1407.
65:52Hassan says, "I personally did shirts and hats for 20 years." Well, let's definitely talk next off seasonason, brother. Um, during the football
65:59season's probably going to be a little difficult for me, but next off season, let's definitely talk.
66:10Now, Brian Robinson, 1409.
66:14We are about to be on the clock.
66:18Typically in this range, of course, I'm taking handcuffed running backs, but if we get Here's the deal. Denver has an elite defense, but the first six weeks,
66:28it's a horrible schedule. The Chiefs, Jags Rams Seahawks Chargers Seahawks.
66:36Sorry Niners Chargers Seahawks.
66:38Really don't have much interest there.
66:43Have the Chargers been taken? No, they haven't. I'm going to go ahead and take the Chargers defense. They get to play
66:49against the Cardinals week one and the Raiders week two. And crap, we need to go ahead and give away that free
66:54flockfantasy.com season pass. If you haven't already entered in to win the free season pass, all you got to do is one, drop a like on this live stream and
67:01then two, type the word season pass into the live chat. You do those two things and you'll be entered in to win a free
67:08flockfantasy.com season pass. If you don't already have one, it's only 34 bucks. It gets you set up with all the tools on the site and all of the
67:18consistently updated weekly and rest of season rankings from pretty much all your favorite creators that you watch on YouTube. And again, it's not $34 a month
67:26or anything. It's $34 gets you access for the entire season. Um, use code flock and you'll also get free start and
67:34trade questions that you can ask me in the streams.
67:38But let's get ready for our next pick. We're just going to actually f it. We're so close to the season. I don't want to be
67:46bothering um making ad drops in this league. Okay, never mind. We got autoed a freaking kicker anyway. Uh, not the kicker I would have taken, but it is
67:55what it is. It's a kicker. I'm not going to cry. I'm probably going to drop him by the second week. But, um, let me go
68:01through and let's pull up the wheel to figure out who wins the free season pass.
68:12Um, here's the wheel of names.
68:16Let's copy and paste this in here and let's spin. And I want to remind y'all as well. Well, whether or not you have a
68:25season pass or not, make sure you download the Flock Fantasy app. Um, obviously, if you have a season pass, you're going to get access to more
68:33things, but you'll still get access to the free stuff on the app and it's going to be much, much easier to use this in
68:39comparison to the website. And we just dropped this literally yesterday. So, it's brand new. Make sure you go ahead
68:48and snag it. And the winner of this season pass is viral clips 999.
68:57Viral clips 999. Um, appreciate you hanging out with us in the live stream and yeah, thank you for
69:09um, hanging out. Hopefully you got some clips of the stream. That'd be nice.
69:15But oh, Zuf, I'm sorry, man. I didn't know we put that on the screen. That must have been an accident.
69:21Now, um, Viral Clips, just let me know what your flockfantasy.com username is in the chat and we'll be happy to go
69:26ahead and set you up with that preseason pass. But much love, ladies and gentlemen. I really appreciate you and hope I get to see you out in the live
69:32stream tomorrow night.
