Player insights

A.J. Brown

PositiveProjection27:06

JJ Zachariason ranks A.J. Brown ahead of Ashton Jeanty in his rankings, indicating he prefers Brown's value over Jeanty at their respective draft positions.

Insight page

Amari Rodgers

PositiveValue26:24

JJ Zachariason takes Amari Rodgers in the second round (pick 26) over Ashton Jeanty, whom he believes cannot be taken in this range anymore. Zachariason indicates Rodgers represents his preferred value at this draft position, stating it is "pretty damn clear" that Rodgers is the pick over Jeanty at this juncture.

Insight page

Ashton Jeanty

NegativeInjury0:00

Ankle sprain has significantly downgraded Jeanty's draft value. JJ Zachariason moved him from 1-2 turn consideration to late second/early third round, ranking him at RB 12 and 20th overall. With only 3 weeks until season start, Zachariason estimates a meaningful chance Jeanty misses the first month of the year. While not entirely off the board, Jeanty is no longer draftable at premium turns due to injury status; Zachariason would prefer Bowers, A.J. Brown, and Nico Collins ahead of him at pick 206.

Insight page

Blake Corum

PositiveValue20:43

JJ Zachariason views Blake Corum as a massive value at the 9-10 turn in 10-round formats, preferring him over Travis Kelce at this draft cost. Zachariason states he would take Corum here instead of Kelce, noting "Kelce I would not rather have over Corum." The preference reflects Corum's positional scarcity and upside relative to tight end options at this stage.

Insight page

Braelon Allen

NegativeRole62:26

JJ Zachariason took Braelon Allen as a backup running back but notes he's less appealing now that the New York Jets coaching staff indicated Breece Hall should be good to go for week one; Zachariason believes Mike Washington is more likely to be the week one running back two start if Hall is unavailable, making Allen's handcuff value diminished.

Insight page

Breece Hall

PositiveInjury0:42

Positive injury confirmation for Breece Hall: JJ Zachariason received word from the New York Jets coaching staff that Hall should be good to go for week one despite groin injury concerns. Zachariason notes they've gotten additional confirmation that he's playing week one, making Braelon Allen less appealing as a handcuff, though he acknowledges the range of outcomes where Hall could re-aggravate an injury.

Insight page

Brian Robinson

PositiveRole58:02

JJ Zachariason values Brian Robinson as a handcuff with clear starting opportunity if Bijan Robinson goes down; he's a gem inside your starting lineup in that scenario, making him an attractive late-round backup running back pick in best ball formats where you know exactly when to start him.

Insight page

Brian Thomas Jr.

PositiveValue38:18

JJ Zachariason selects Brian Thomas at pick 6.02 (pick 11 overall) as part of a wide receiver-heavy build strategy. Zachariason's highest-ranked skill-position wide receivers are Christian Watson and Marvin Harrison, but Sleeper ADP has Christian Watson and DK Metcalf higher, suggesting Zachariason views Brian Thomas as undervalued relative to his personal rankings.

Insight page

Cam Akers

NegativeValue46:27

JJ Zachariason questions Cam Akers going at $807 as pretty early, noting surprise at the price unless new information about him has emerged.

Insight page

Carnell Tate

PositiveBreakout11:05

JJ Zachariason really likes Carnell Tate as a prospect and believes he's a damn good player. He selected Tate in the fifth round over DJ Moore, citing that Tate is a much better wide receiver than Moore at this point in their respective careers, despite Moore being in a significantly better situation. Zachariason notes that sportsbooks suggest the Titans should be better this year, the coaching staff has improved considerably, and Tate has a much better wide receiver room than Cam Ward had last year.

Insight page

CeeDee Lamb

PositiveValue25:18

JJ Zachariason has CeeDee Lamb ranked ahead of Justin Jefferson on his current draft sheets and selected Lamb at pick 10 in this $500 draft. Zachariason notes he can go back and forth between the two receivers but commits to Lamb at this spot, indicating confidence in Lamb's value relative to Jefferson at the 10-11 turn.

Insight page

Chase Brown

NegativeValue0:33

Chase Brown was selected at pick 107 in this mock draft, demonstrating early-round interest. Zachariason also notes that both Etienne and Chase Brown go at picks 112 and 201, indicating his draft range in late rounds.

Insight page

Chris Godwin

NegativeValue15:26

JJ Zachariason selects Chris Godwin at pick 7.07 in the draft, indicating acceptance of Godwin's value at that round.

Insight page

Christian Watson

PositiveProjection38:18

JJ Zachariason lists Christian Watson as his highest-ranked wide receiver on his draft sheets for this league format, ahead of Marvin Harrison. Zachariason notes that Sleeper ADP has Christian Watson and DK Metcalf higher, but his personal rankings favor Watson, indicating he views Watson as undervalued relative to platform consensus.

Insight page

Chuba Hubbard

PositiveRole45:08

Chuba Hubbard officially cleared for week one and will be a co-starter with Jonathan Brooks in a backfield split, per team communication. Zachariason identifies Hubbard as the top running back available for his draft build. Zachariason notes that Sleeper ADP has Jaylen Warren and Chuba Hubbard highly ranked, but he explicitly advises 'Don't listen to Sleeper ADP,' indicating he disagrees with the platform's valuation of Hubbard.

Insight page

Daniel Jones

NegativeValue39:32

JJ Zachariason identifies Daniel Jones as his highest-ranked QB on his draft sheets but explicitly declines to draft him early, reasoning that quarterbacks will fall significantly in this draft and that in a 6-point passing touchdown format, QB rushing upside is not a premium need; he notes he would take Jones in the next round but prefers to wait.

Insight page

Davante Adams

PositiveValue36:56

JJ Zachariason calls Davante Adams at pick 5.07 incredible value, indicating strong upside relative to ADP.

Insight page

DeVonta Smith

PositiveValue31:21

JJ Zachariason selected DeVonta Smith at 3.09 as his highest-ranked player available at that point, stating he did not want to overthink the pick. With A.J. Brown gone from Philadelphia, Zachariason believes the Eagles have to lean on Smith. Zachariason built his team around three receivers: Lamb, DeVonta Smith, and Zay Flowers.

Insight page

DK Metcalf

PositiveValue38:18

JJ Zachariason notes that Sleeper ADP has Christian Watson and DK Metcalf highly ranked, but he explicitly advises 'Don't listen to Sleeper ADP,' indicating he disagrees with the platform's valuation of Metcalf relative to his own rankings.

Insight page

Drake Maye

PositiveValue39:26

JJ Zachariason acquired Drake Maye at pick 7.08 in his Flock league draft, demonstrating that elite QBs can be obtained very late; Maye is also selected at 7.04 in this draft, further supporting the strategy of waiting on quarterback.

Insight page

Emeka Egbuka

PositiveInjury33:39

JJ Zachariason is rooting for Emeka Egbuka with the toe injury and has him on his main Flockly team, acquiring him at pick 405 to pair with Taylor and Walker, indicating confidence in his recovery and role.

Insight page

Harold Fannin

NegativeValue53:07

JJ Zachariason waits until rounds 9–10 to take his first tight end, selecting Harold Fannin at that juncture. The strategy prioritizes running back depth over early tight end investment, with the option to grab another tight end late in the draft if needed.

Insight page

Jalen Hurts

NegativeValue41:11

Jalen Hurts is available into the seventh round in this draft, supporting JJ Zachariason's thesis that elite quarterbacks will fall and do not need early draft capital.

Insight page

James Cook

NegativeUsage25:00

JJ Zachariason is monitoring James Cook's draft action and range in $500 drafts as one of four key tracking priorities alongside Neighbors, Jeanty, and Mike Washington, suggesting Zachariason is tracking Cook's draft capital and opportunity shifts.

Insight page

Jameson Williams

NegativeRole37:27

JJ Zachariason moved Treylon Burks down his ranks and now has Jameson Williams as his top-ranked wide receiver, planning to take him at 5.10. However, Zachariason notes the downside: taking Jameson Williams punts the running back position even further when it is the position the team needs.

Insight page

JaMycal Hasty

PositiveProjection8:59

JJ Zachariason has moved JaMycal Hasty up his rankings, likely due to Treyvion Henderson's injury concerns that have emerged at camp, suggesting Hasty's role and opportunity have improved.

Insight page

Javonte Williams

NegativeValue30:24

Javonte Williams was selected at 3.06 in the draft; the team that drafted him did not take a wide receiver in the first three rounds.

Insight page

Jayden Daniels

PositiveProjection43:24

JJ Zachariason is 'over the moon' with the Jayden Daniels pick at 7.09 in a four-point passing touchdown format, citing his rushing upside as a major advantage. In four-point leagues, Daniels' rushing ability makes him significantly better than Matthew Stafford or Jared Goff. However, in six-point passing touchdown leagues, Daniels loses value relative to pure passing touchdown specialists like Dak Prescott and Justin Herbert, since rushing upside matters less.

Insight page

Jaylen Waddle

PositiveValue0:06

JJ Zachariason selected Jaylen Waddle in the third round as one of his core targets in this mock draft, choosing him over Josh Allen due to expected quarterback depth falling later. Zachariason notes that while Tutu Atwell McMillan could make a strong argument to be ranked over Waddle, Waddle remains a solid third-round selection.

Insight page

Jaylen Warren

PositiveValue38:18

JJ Zachariason ranks Jaylen Warren as his highest-ranked running back on his draft sheets for this league format, ahead of Rhamondre Stevenson. Zachariason notes that Sleeper ADP has Jaylen Warren and Chuba Hubbard highly ranked, but explicitly advises 'Don't listen to Sleeper ADP,' indicating Warren is undervalued on the platform. Zachariason would have been very excited to acquire Warren in the seventh round, signaling strong value at that ADP.

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

NegativeInjury29:09

Jeremiah Love was drafted at 2.11 despite dealing with a high ankle sprain; while the Cardinals cutting Trey Benson could signal bullish implications for Love's role, JJ Zachariason is cautious about reading too much into that move.

Insight page

Joe Burrow

NegativeValue41:11

Joe Burrow is listed as one of JJ Zachariason's highest-ranked QBs on his draft sheets and is available into the seventh round in this draft, supporting Zachariason's thesis that elite quarterbacks will fall and do not need to be prioritized early.

Insight page

Jonah Coleman

NegativeRole54:28

JJ Zachariason ranks Jonah Coleman as his highest-ranked running back in this draft range and notes he is receiving non-stop positive buzz out of Denver; however, Zachariason realistically expects Coleman will need to see an injury to David Montgomery or JK Dobbins to become startable, since he is buried behind the injury-prone JK Dobbins on the depth chart.

Insight page

Jonathon Brooks

PositiveValue40:24

Jonathan Brooks goes at 6.08 in this $500 draft and is selected as part of the 'Jinxsy special' strategy alongside JSN and London, indicating he is viewed as a valuable target in this format. Brooks will co-start with Chuba Hubbard in a backfield split per team communication, creating a shared workload situation.

Insight page

Jordan Mason

NegativeUsage47:38

Jordan Mason goes at 9.02 ADP. JJ Zachariason views any running back coming off the board at this stage as bad for his team's draft strategy, as he needs to take stabs at multiple RBs in this range to hit on someone.

Insight page

Josh Allen

PositiveValue0:05

JJ Zachariason ranks Josh Allen as one of his two highest-ranked players overall, but passed on him early in this mock draft expecting quarterback depth to fall late. However, at pick 408, Zachariason calls Allen 'pretty damn strong value,' noting that even in six-point passing touchdown formats where quarterbacks slide, 'Josh Allen at the 408's damn good.' Zachariason nearly took Allen himself at 405 in the Flock league.

Insight page

Justin Jefferson

PositiveValue25:18

Justin Jefferson is ranked behind CeeDee Lamb on JJ Zachariason's current draft sheets and goes at pick 11 in this $500 draft. Zachariason acknowledges he can go back and forth between Lamb and Jefferson but commits to Lamb at pick 10, leaving Jefferson for the 11th pick. Zachariason also owns Jefferson in the Flock league and expresses strong personal conviction about Jefferson's performance this season, stating there will be no player he wants to perform better than Jefferson.

Insight page

Keaton Mitchell

NegativeValue56:22

JJ Zachariason targets Keeton Mitchell as his handcuff running back, emphasizing he is not drafting him for handcuff appeal to his own team (Amari and Hampton) but because he believes Mitchell is the most appealing handcuff running back on the board regardless of prior selections; Zachariason prioritizes ceiling upside in a winner-take-all league and views Mitchell as a high-upside running back dart throw.

Insight page
PositiveRole58:02

JJ Zachariason identifies Keaton Mitchell as a backup running back with clear starting utility if the lead back ahead of him stays healthy; he's part of the strategy of drafting backup running backs in final rounds where you know exactly when to start them.

Insight page

Kenneth Gainwell

NegativeUsage47:49

Kenneth Gainwell goes at pick 903. JJ Zachariason views any running back coming off the board at this stage as bad for his team's draft strategy, as he needs to take stabs at multiple RBs in this range to hit on someone.

Insight page

Kyle Pitts

NegativeValue14:41

JJ Zachariason doesn't fault taking Kyle Pitts at 7.03 because by round seven, scoring becomes very flat and wide receivers could potentially get outscored by tight ends, making tight end selection in this range defensible. Zachariason also notes he took Pitts in round nine of the Flock League and is not opposed to drafting him, indicating he's a viable option at that ADP.

Insight page

Lamar Jackson

NegativeValue30:18

Lamar Jackson was auto-drafted at 3.02 in a $500 draft, which JJ Zachariason views as a significant draft mistake, sarcastically saying 'Rest in peace' to the team that made this pick.

Insight page

Makai Lemon

PositiveValue42:32

Makai Lemon goes at 7.07 ADP. JJ Zachariason likes the pick, though notes it's not a player he could have personally drafted given his roster construction.

Insight page

Marvin Harrison Jr.

PositiveProjection38:18

JJ Zachariason lists Marvin Harrison as his second-highest-ranked wide receiver on his draft sheets for this league format, behind Christian Watson.

Insight page

Mecole Hardman

NegativeValue15:31

JJ Zachariason selects Mecole Hardman at pick 7.08 in the draft, indicating acceptance of Hardman's value at that round.

Insight page

Mike Evans

PositiveValue11:05

JJ Zachariason selected Mike Evans in the fifth round despite Evans sliding in drafts due to injury concerns. Zachariason later expressed strong approval of the Evans value at the 6.01 turn, stating 'I love the Mike Evans Cardale Tate turn from that team,' indicating he views Evans as offering strong value at his current draft cost despite the injury headwinds.

Insight page

Mike Washington Jr.

PositiveRole25:00

JJ Zachariason selected Mike Washington in the 10th round as a handcuff play with upside to Miami's Raheem Achane. Zachariason notes there is a chance Achane misses the first month of the season, making Washington a startable running back two for that period; conversely, if Achane is healthy for week one, Washington remains a premium handcuff. Zachariason is actively monitoring Washington's draft action and range in $500 drafts as one of four key tracking priorities alongside Jeanty, Neighbors, and James Cook.

Insight page

Nico Collins

PositiveProjection27:06

JJ Zachariason ranks Nico Collins ahead of Ashton Jeanty in his rankings, indicating he prefers Collins' value over Jeanty at their respective draft positions.

Insight page

Parker Washington

PositiveValue39:54

Parker Washington goes at 6.07 and is noted as a player many are targeting; Zachariason's comment 'A lot of people are in on P Wash, of course' suggests he is a popular target at that ADP.

Insight page

Quentin Johnston

PositiveValue14:59

JJ Zachariason loves the Quentin Johnston pick at 8.04 in double flex league formats, viewing him as very much live to get into flex lineups. The value is particularly strong in a two wide receiver two flex league, where the additional flex spot increases the value of high-upside receivers. Johnston goes at 6.11 in this draft, and Zachariason notes it wouldn't be surprising if Tucker Kraft (6.12) outperformed Johnston by week-nine flex rankings, but Johnston still represents strong value at his current ADP.

Insight page

Rachaad White

PositiveValue48:06

Rachaad White goes at pick 904. JJ Zachariason would have taken him pretty easily despite his hamstring scare, as he fits the team's need to take stabs at running backs in this range and hope to hit on someone. Zachariason's successful Flockly draft strategy waited until round nine for his next RB after Saquon Barkley and ended up with Jaylen Warren and Cam Akers, winning the second most games in the league.

Insight page

Rashee Rice

PositiveValue30:48

JJ Zachariason expresses surprise that Rashee Rice fell all the way to pick 3.07, indicating Rice represents strong value at that draft position.

Insight page

Ray Davis

NegativeRole67:27

JJ Zachariason took Ray Davis as a running back in the final two rounds of the Flock league but is considering cutting him and placing waiver bids instead, suggesting he lacks confidence in Davis's role or fantasy value.

Insight page

Rhamondre Stevenson

PositiveRole40:41

Ramondre Stevenson is identified as a riser by JJ Zachariason. If there is a serious injury to Treyvion Henderson, Stevenson becomes the best pick on the board, indicating significant upside contingent on Henderson's health status.

Insight page

RJ Harvey

PositiveValue42:19

RJ Harvey goes at 7.06 ADP. JJ Zachariason indicates strong approval of the pick, stating he probably would have taken Harvey if Harvey had made it to his pick.

Insight page

Tank Bigsby

NegativeRole55:48

JJ Zachariason drafts Tank Bigsby at the end of the 11th round as a pure handcuff with no standalone value; Zachariason states he knows exactly when he would start Bigsby—which is never if the running back in front of him stays healthy. However, Zachariason also notes Bigsby is a gem inside your starting lineup if Saquon Barkley goes down, making him a valuable late-round backup running back pick in best ball formats where you know exactly when to deploy him.

Insight page

Tank Dell

PositiveRole55:15

JJ Zachariason has moved Tank Dell down in his rankings following the trade of Kayshon Boutte to the Houston Texans, which increases target competition and reduces Dell's standalone value in the Texans' passing game.

Insight page

Tony Pollard

PositiveValue15:40

JJ Zachariason believes Tony Pollard is falling in ADP and credits this to Jinxie's influence, calling it potentially the craziest thing he's said all year. Zachariason has observed Pollard going at 6.04 in live streams. In a double-flex league format, Zachariason is willing to rip Pollard as his running back three, indicating strong conviction in Pollard's value at his current price point. He notes he wouldn't make this move in a single-flex league, highlighting format-specific value.

Insight page

Travis Etienne

PositiveProjection0:05

JJ Zachariason has moved Etienne up his rankings following the Alvin Kamara injury, now valuing him as a third-round pick. Etienne is one of Zachariason's two highest-ranked players and was selected in this mock draft as a core target.

Insight page

Travis Kelce

NegativeValue20:43

JJ Zachariason ranks Travis Kelce unfavorably against Blake Corum at the 9-10 turn in 10-round formats, explicitly stating he would not rather have Kelce over Corum at this draft cost. The preference reflects the tight end's declining positional advantage relative to running back value available at this stage.

Insight page

Tre Tucker

NegativeValue57:27

JJ Zachariason drafts Trey Tucker at 12:07 and identifies him alongside Cyrus Allen as great plays in best ball formats; however, Zachariason prefers running backs in this range because he has clarity on when to start them versus wide receivers like Tucker, where there's no clear scenario in which you know when to start them. Zachariason finds it hard to draft wide receivers in the late-round range because starting decisions are less predictable than backup running backs where injury to the lead back creates obvious starting opportunity.

Insight page

Trey Benson

NegativeDepth Chart30:00

The Cardinals cut Trey Benson, which JJ Zachariason notes could potentially signal bullish implications for Jeremiah Love's role, though he is cautious about over-interpreting this move.

Insight page

Tucker Kraft

PositiveProjection14:04

JJ Zachariason projects Tucker Kraft at pick 6.12 to potentially outperform several higher-drafted wide receivers by week nine flex rankings. Specifically, Zachariason states it wouldn't be surprising if Kraft was ahead of Quentin Johnston (6.11), DK Metcalf, and Marvin Harrison in week-nine flex rankings, highlighting tight end value in this range where scoring becomes flat.

Insight page

Tutu Atwell

PositiveValue0:33

JJ Zachariason expresses strong approval of Tutu Atwell McMillan at pick 403, stating 'I really like McMillan.' Zachariason notes that McMillan can make a strong argument to be ranked over Jaylen Waddle, highlighting his value at that draft position.

Insight page

Woody Marks

PositiveValue51:50

Woody Marks goes at 10.06 and JJ Zachariason really likes the pick. Zachariason has taken Marks frequently in Underdog best ball drafts for handcuff upside if David Montgomery gets injured. Even without a Montgomery injury, Zachariason expects Marks to have usable weeks with potential for 80 total yards and 15 fantasy points, though the challenge in redraft leagues is identifying when those weeks occur and having the roster flexibility to start him.

Insight page

Xavier Worthy

NegativeBust53:58

JJ Zachariason self-identifies Xavier Worthy at 11:07 as probably his worst pick in the Flock league draft. He describes it as a homer pick—a player he wanted to have regardless of draft value—motivated by concern that another drafter might convince a teammate to take him.

Insight page

Zay Flowers

PositiveValue33:24

JJ Zachariason's second-highest ranked player in his draft sheets for these league settings; buried in Sleeper ADP but getting him in the fourth round is described as an absolute no-brainer. Zachariason built his team around three receivers with Lamb, DeVonta Smith, and Flowers.

0:00For this mock draft that we are doing right here, I'm going to be picking at 12. Big reason for this is we have seen
0:07a change, right? With the Ashton Jeanty injury, he's not draftable at the 1-2 turn. Now, yes, he's not off your board entirely.
0:18It is just an ankle sprain. But at least for me, if y'all have seen my rankings, I moved him down to being like a late
0:25second, early third round pick at this point. So, I do think your strategy at the 1-2 turn, now that Jeanty is no
0:32longer available, may be slightly different. Now, we're going to be on the clock in nine picks, and I do have a
0:38pretty big announcement to make.
0:41One, this all comes with a massive thank you to y'all first and foremost, okay?
0:47I owe y'all so damn much. Y'all are the best community on YouTube that's ever existed. Like, y'all are incredible. I
0:58appreciate everything that you allow me to do. It is insane how much y'all support all of us.
1:06And because of that, what now I am able to commit to financially is every draft that we do,
1:17every real money draft. We are going to be doing one real money draft every single night until the season gets here.
1:24Is going to be a $500 draft. I'm going to be putting $500 of my own money into the league pot. We are going to get 11
1:34random people from the live stream every single night to join that draft with us, where they will have a $0 buy-in.
1:45And yeah, again, I want to give back to y'all anyway that I can. I think that this is one way that it is possible for
1:54me to do just that. So, every draft we do from now on that is a real money draft, again, it's free for y'all. I'm
2:03the only one putting in money. I'm going to be putting $500 into that league starting tonight. So, after this, we are
2:12going to fill that $500 draft with 11 random people from this live stream. And yeah, I'm freaking pumped for it. And
2:18we'll see where Gentry is going in those $500 drafts now. I will give a shout-out. We did get Zoufa into this draft with us.
2:30Zoufa must be lurking out there in the chat.
2:33I swear to God I did not send him the link before this. He managed to get into this mock draft in at pick seven. And he
2:40decided to rip Chase Brown at the 107.
2:44This man is a freak.
2:46And then Ashton Gentry goes at the 207.
2:50Again, I have Gentry myself ranked a little bit more as a late round two pick, but that is just me.
3:00Okay.
3:01Now, Colt Dog Prod says, "Mason, you got to make this more timely friendly for everyone watching this at 11:35 right now." So, here's the deal.
3:10Um I'm going to be honest with y'all. I work a lot this time of year.
3:15It's just the matter of the game. And while technically these live streams are work for me, I can't go live until I get all of my
3:24other work done.
3:26I promise you Mrs. Flock does not like me live streaming late at night. I promise you every single day Mrs. Flock
3:34says, "Can you live stream early so we can watch an episode of something tonight?"
3:40And I'm going to tell y'all what I tell her.
3:43I'm going to try my best.
3:46But from meeting with the editors to meeting with the developers of flockfantasy.com to doing all the research I have to do
3:54for the videos that we make for the rankings that I have to put out there on the site, for the draft sheets
4:01I have to put out there on the site.
4:03It's a lot of work during the day.
4:06And typically I can't get done with it all until about 10:00 p.m. Now, that's 10:00 p.m. my time. Obviously, if you're
4:12on the West Coast, it's like 8:00 p.m.
4:13your time. And that's when I can go live some nights. I'm going to try my best to go live as early as possible. But my top
4:20priorities again, uh in terms of getting stuff done in a timely manner, is I'm pretty much doing the research for those videos
4:29as well as to update all our rankings on the site, all the draft sheets on the site for the season pass holders.
4:36All day long. And then we have to work with the developers of flockfantasy.com who go through, put out additional tools, yada yada yada. So, I'm streaming
4:45as early as I can, my friend. I promise you that.
4:50Now, let me see what we got here. We have McBride off at the 302.
4:58Jeremiah Love goes at the 303. Kyren at the 304. So, obviously Olave is a riser with the Tyson stuff.
5:10I like the team at four going Chase, Neighbors, Kyren after Neighbors shedding the non-contract non-contact jersey is great.
5:20Chase, Neighbors, Kyren is one hell of a start.
5:25Javonte goes at the 306. Again, I'm not the biggest Javonte guy personally.
5:31Devonta Smith goes 307. I'll be interested to see where Mike Washington goes in this draft.
5:39Okay.
5:42Now, Breece Hall at the 308.
5:47Flowers 309. so we did get positive news regarding Breece today where it sounds like they gave us additional confirmation that he is going to be good
5:56to go week one with the groin injury.
6:00He should be good to go. Ladd McConkey goes at the 311.
6:05And my two highest ranked players now are Travis Etienne and Josh Allen.
6:10Um based on us drafting with y'all in a lot of these drafts though, I know that there will be quarterbacks that are
6:17going to fall to me. So, I'm going to take Travis Etienne and Jaylen Waddle instead. Now, yes, I have moved Etienne
6:24up my rankings with the Kamara injury. I think Etienne is worth a third round pick to be honest.
6:31Okay.
6:33Now, we have Jacobs off of the 402. Tutu Atwell McMillan goes to the 403. I really like McMillan. I think you can
6:39make a strong argument to have him over Waddle.
6:43But again, I want to thank everybody here. I need to set up the free season pass giveaway for y'all real quick. Let
6:50me do that. Um and as I set up that free season pass giveaway, I will remind y'all if you have not gotten your season
6:58pass already, it is the number one way that you can win your fantasy football league. It's only 34 bucks and you get
7:05access to all the consistently updated rankings on flockfantasy.com. Not only from myself, but pretty much all your favorite creators you watch on YouTube.
7:14Um all the way until Christmas essentially. It's actually probably about closer to New Year's this year since week 17's a little bit later. But
7:21yeah, on top of that, you're going to get access to the trade calculator, my team's page, all the draft assistance, and the custom draft sheets that are
7:28tailored to your exact league settings.
7:30And if you sign up with code flock, you are also going to get a free start sit trade question vouchers that you can go
7:37through and you can ask me in the live streams. And I'm going to be live streaming every single night until Christmas. And if you wanted to enter in
7:44to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass, all you need to do is drop a like on this stream, and then type the word
7:52season pass into the live chat.
7:56Okay.
7:58Now, what the hell is this little black thing on the bottom?
8:03Or I guess I'm just blind. Ignore me.
8:07Now, Davante Adams goes at the 410.
8:09Loveland goes 409.
8:12So, we'll see if Skad falls. Again, in my opinion, I think Skatabu should be an early fifth-round pick after the Najee
8:18signing. And I drafted a ton of Cam Skatabu in Best Ball drafts, so I hope I'm wrong there.
8:26But, Allen does go at the 405.
8:30Again, Allen was actually ranked ahead of Jaylen Waddle for me. It's just I know in these drafts specifically, I'm going to be able to get a quarterback
8:37pretty damn late. So, I'm fine passing on Allen there.
8:43Okay, Judkins goes 412.
8:46Bishal Tuiton off at the 411.
8:55Now, Montgomery 501. JaMycal Hasty 502.
8:59I have had to move JaMycal Hasty up my rankings.
9:02Um one thing that I didn't want to overreact with my rankings today. I don't know if y'all saw, but Treyvion Henderson supposedly
9:11slipped while he was trying to make a cut in practice. He got taken off the field and quit practice early while the
9:19trainers were looking at his like foot and ankle.
9:22I don't want to overreact. I didn't like nuke Treyvion Henderson in my ranks because we have no official update. And obviously, we just saw the consequences
9:30of overreacting with the Asim Genty stuff just yesterday.
9:35So, I'm not overreacting with the TreVeyon Henderson news, but I have moved TreVeyon Henderson behind these guys like Jahmyr Gibbs and Price. So, I
9:45have Henderson more so ranked as like a high-end running back three now at running back 26, and he's inside the same tier with Rhamondre Stevenson,
9:54which absolutely sucks because, I mean, TreVeyon Henderson used to go at the 4-5 turn, and I was actually taking him there in
10:02Best Ball drafts. I was looking at Henderson, and I was thinking that he had an incredible ceiling for this year that I was fine buying into, and
10:11clearly, he's had one of the worst run-outs of any player at camp, where we just haven't gotten any positive news about him.
10:19Which has sucked. I mean, I've wanted Henderson to work out. I think he's an exciting player with a ton of upside.
10:29But, we just haven't gotten anything.
10:32Okay.
10:37So, we have Roman Wilson going off at the 5.09.
10:45Parker Washington goes at the 5.10.
10:49Tyler Warren 5.11.
10:52If y'all can tell again, I moved Henderson down my rankings a bit.
10:57We have flexibility at running back right now with Achane and Travis Etienne. So, I think we're going to double-tap the wide receiver position
11:05here with Mike Evans and Carnell Tate.
11:08Evans has been sliding in drafts with his own injury concerns. I think you can make a strong argument to take DJ Moore
11:15over Carnell Tate given the fact that one of these guys plays with Josh Allen, and the other one plays with Cam Ward.
11:24So, I wouldn't fault you for wanting to go DJ Moore here, and DJ Moore is the next pick off the board. I just really
11:32like Carnell Tate as a prospect.
11:35I think he's a damn good player.
11:37And sportsbooks are telling us, again, I don't know how much you want to read into this, but sportsbooks are telling us the
11:46Titans should be better this year than they were last year, and I'm buying into it. I don't think the Titans are going
11:52to be great, but I do think that they're going to improve.
12:01Because like if we go through and map this out, they improved their coaching staff considerably.
12:07This is a much, much better wide receiver room than what Cam Ward had to deal with last year.
12:14So, I think Carnell Tate is a much better wide receiver than DJ Moore at this point in their respective careers. Now,
12:21obviously, DJ Moore is in a significantly better situation between the two of them.
12:28Okay.
12:33Now, we have Joe Burrow at the 606.
12:37Travion Henderson goes 607.
12:44So, I think this is a reasonable fall for Henderson.
12:47Like Henderson here goes after Jaylen Warren and Ramaj Rae.
12:52And at that cost, like I completely understand going like, "Hey, I'm willing to pull the trigger and take the risk."
13:01It's a good offense, player that had a good profile.
13:06Ramaj Rae Stevenson's going earlier, like I think worst-case scenario and at that cost specifically is he's in a running back by committee. He's only startable
13:17whenever you're struggling with injuries and with the bye weeks.
13:23But then again, the upside would be if you were to get an injury to Ramondre, Treylon Henderson probably has a higher ceiling than any other player
13:35in round six.
13:38Now, the flip side of that is you can say, "Well, come on. Um do we want to be taking a player that needs an injury to hit in
13:47the sixth round?"
13:49And what I'd probably say to that is, "Good point. Good argument."
13:54But, I do think that he does have an incredibly high ceiling.
13:59Now, Kraft off at the 6.12, um tight ends are definitely play for us. I mean, we've only gone running back and wide
14:05receiver. This is a double flex format, so don't get me wrong. I mean, I like building around running back. I like
14:11building around wide receiver. It is my preference because like if we map this out, Lamb wide receiver one, Waddle wide receiver
14:20two, Evans three, Carnell Tate four.
14:25And then H and RB1, Travis Etienne RB2.
14:28All of these guys are hitting our starting lineup.
14:31Every single one of these players is either in a starting wide receiver slot, in a starting running back slot, or in a starting flex.
14:46Okay. Kyle Pitts goes to the 7.03. I'm not going to fault anybody for taking a tight end in this range cuz by the time
14:53we get to this point, things do become very, very flat, right? Where you can make an argument that like the wide
14:59receivers could potentially get outscored by the tight ends. Like Quentin Johnston goes to the 6.11, Tucker Kraft goes to the 6.12. It
15:07wouldn't be that surprising if I was making my flex rankings in week nine, and Tucker Kraft was ahead of Quentin Johnston. Tucker Kraft was ahead of DK
15:15Metcalf.
15:18Tucker Kraft was ahead of Marvin Harrison.
15:23Okay.
15:26Now, Chris Godwin goes 707.
15:31Mecole Hardman 708.
15:36And we'll see who we're going to get.
15:40Pollard is falling. I honestly think this may be crazy to say.
15:47I think Jinxie may have single-handedly lowered the Tony Pollard price point.
15:54Maybe that's the craziest thing I've said all year, but that's how I feel.
15:58I'm going to rip running back wide receiver here. I wouldn't do this if it was a single flex league, but in a
16:03double flex league, I'm ripping Pollard as my running back three. I'm ripping Addison as my wide receiver four.
16:09Now, in terms of what we are doing with the link to get into the $500
16:24draft, I think it's going to be a little bit different.
16:29Y'all know what we have done in the past is we have sent the link out in the YouTube live chat. We've sent the link
16:37out on our Instagram story. We've just showed the link on the screen and the first person to type it in, they're the
16:45first 11 people to get into our draft.
16:48Today, Rome from the Roman Empire in the Flock League DM'd me about an hour ago with an incredible idea.
16:57What I'm going to do here is if we can go through and
17:17DM this link to Rome. He's not going to join the draft. He's not going to take one of your 11 spots.
17:23But what he is going to do is he is going to read the link out loud.
17:36And y'all will have to type in and listen to the Roman Empire.
17:43So let me call him.
17:49Rome, can you shoot me a Do you want me to call you on your cell or do you want me to call you on Discord?
17:54Let me know what you want.
17:59Okay. Rome is calling my cell.
18:02Okay.
18:03This is Rome, the Roman Empire. He is going to read, y'all, the link to be one of the 11 people that get into
18:11this draft. It's the $500 draft that we're doing after this. You just have to type in the link faster than the other
18:18people.
18:19So um Rome, you are now officially on speaker.
18:26I am happy you had this idea. I think it's going to be fun. The dogs are barking right in time cuz they are
18:32excited as well.
18:34Here are the spots open.
18:37Let me move this over and how are you doing, my friend?
18:41>> I am doing great. You know, I am I'm doing great, you know, it's been an interesting day. It was a fun video. The
18:47video's popping off and it sounds like I I don't know if the next video's going to be out tomorrow or when it's going to
18:53be out, but I'm excited for the next one.
18:55>> I think the next Flock League video's probably going to be out on Wednesday.
18:58So in about call it 30 hours.
19:02>> Okay, cool, cool, cool. All right, well let's do this link giveaway, all right?
19:05So here we go.
19:07It is going to be sleeper.com /i / M 7
19:17M Q 8 V N 1 Q
19:28J X 13 >> Go go go go go go go.
19:34>> [laughter] >> How many people do you think are actually going to be able to figure that out and get in?
19:39>> Uh, hopefully enough to fill it up.
19:42>> We'll we'll we'll see if anybody has the ability to um, but I appreciate you, my guy, and I hope that you are doing well.
19:53>> Okay, I appreciate it. It might be the caps. It might be the caps. That might be why.
19:57>> And I Here, let me mute myself on stream real quick.
20:11>> It's fine. My block button works.
20:12>> Okay, good. All right, I I appreciate you, my guy. We will talk soon.
20:16>> All right, bye.
20:17>> All right, bye.
20:19Okay, we'll see if that worked. We'll see if we can get anybody in, but as of now, nobody has joined that way.
20:26So, we will see if we need to go through and do it on Instagram or something, but right now we have one out of 12.
20:37Let's make our next kicker and Oh, I'm sorry, not kicker. Quarterback and tight end selections.
20:43And Blake Corum is a massive follower at this point. Blake Corum making it to the 9-10 turn.
20:49If this was a draft in which we had more rounds, which a regular fantasy league would be, um, realistically, what we
20:55would do here is we would just go through and take Blake Corum and get quarterback, tight ends in the next few.
21:02So, um, we would probably get Corum here instead of Kelce. I may still take Patrick Mahomes at this cost, but Kelce I would not rather have over
21:13Korum. We just haven't drafted a tight end yet in this draft. Only has 10 rounds. So, I want to make sure we get a
21:18tight end.
21:19But, it looks like that did not work.
21:22Nobody joined. So, here's the plan. We are going to go back to the old faithful. We have just shown the link on
21:30the screen or sent it in the YouTube live chat over the past 5 days. Every day for these $500 drafts, I am trying
21:38to get new people in. So, we are trying to do it in different ways to get people into these drafts cuz again, I want to
21:44draft with as many of y'all as I possibly can. So, we haven't done this for about a week. So, what we are
21:51probably going to do for this stream is I think we're going to go ahead and we are going to post the link on my
22:00Instagram story.
22:02We'll keep it pretty simple.
22:05This will be the Instagram story that we are going to post the link on.
22:10Um that way again, we can get different people in here than what we've had over the past 5 or so days.
22:17We tried to do the read out loud. That did not work.
22:21But, it is what it is. Maybe we'll try that again tomorrow.
22:24And we will try it this new way right now. So, let me get y'all a cute little selfie out. And god dang, this dog will not
22:33stop barking.
22:36Okay.
22:37We can allow Instagram access to our camera.
22:44And my microphone. Perfect.
22:49We just got the cutest selfie of us y'all could ever imagine. You have no idea how cute this is going to be.
23:04Okay, just screamed at the dog about as loud as I can.
23:09Now she is done barking. And the story is live. So, y'all can go ahead and join that way now.
23:20But, let me pull this up.
23:26And yeah, looks like people are joining.
23:28So, they are in.
23:30And let me make sure that we don't see any of the same names from the past few days.
23:37If there is one that I don't recognize, well, you worked me over real good.
23:42Congrats. GG's.
23:44But, skimming through, maybe I'm an idiot. I do not recognize any of these names from our previous drafts. So, if this is your second one,
23:55if this is your third one, and you have bamboozled me, congrats. I've done everything I can to keep you out and
24:00keep this to brand new people, and maybe my efforts have been mute. But, we get pick 10. Pick 10's pretty damn good,
24:07even if Gentis no longer in this range.
24:10And hell, maybe somebody does take him at 11. Maybe somebody does take him at 12. So, let's go ahead. Let's rip this
24:16draft off. Again, how this is going to work is this is a $500 draft where I put $500 into the league pot, and there's
24:27not a single other person that bought in a dollar. The 11 random people that just joined through the link, um it's $0 to
24:37them.
24:38And whoever wins this league at the end of the season is going to win all 500.
24:47So, we'll see what happens. We'll see how this goes. Again, the main thing that I'm wanting to monitor in every one
24:53of these drafts now is one, where do we get Neighbors going with the positive report that we have on him?
25:00Two, where do we get Jeanty going?
25:03Three, Mike Washington. And then four, maybe some action on Oh, James Cook off the board.
25:11Travion Henderson. So, if you're looking at my rankings now, I do have CeeDee Lamb ahead of Jefferson. Honestly, I can go back and
25:18forth between these two guys. Um but yeah, my draft sheets have CeeDee Lamb as the pick. So, I'm going to take Lamb
25:24at 10. Now, obviously, I have Justin Jefferson in the Flock league, so I can guarantee you the guy I'm going to be
25:30rooting for this season is going to be Justin Jefferson.
25:34There'll be no player that I want to perform better than Jefferson this year.
25:41Okay, and we just deleted that Instagram story. So, if you didn't get to see that super cute selfie, you missed out.
25:47Okay.
25:49Now, Jefferson goes at 11. Etienne as well as Chase Brown go at the 112, 201.
25:55Um now, I do have running backs as my highest available picks.
25:59Um again, Sleeper ADP has it as Barkley, Jeanty. But, for me, if you're using my latest draft sheets, which again, I'm
26:07always using with the draft assistant right here, I just hide it behind me cuz I don't want people that I'm drafting
26:12against to use it against me, unless they got the season pass, then they already have it. But, then in that case,
26:18they supported us with 34 bucks, and they're welcome to use it against me. Um I'm going to take Amari Rodgers Hampton
26:24here in the second round.
26:27Again, Sleeper ADP has it as Jeanty. I don't think you can take Jeanty in this range anymore.
26:32I think it's Amari Rodgers Hampton, and it's pretty damn clear.
26:38Okay.
26:39Now, after we take Hampton, we will see Henry go at the 204. Interesting to see Derrick Henry go ahead of Kenneth
26:50Walker. Um this is the exact start that I had in the Flock League year one. I went Jonathan Taylor round one, Kenneth
26:58Walker round two.
27:00Obviously, y'all ended up seeing the trade we made today, or we made that trade yesterday, video came out today, where we ended up trading away Walker
27:07plus to get up to Justin Jefferson, which I'm very, very excited about. Um, Kenneth Walker's not exact God dang, Ashton Jeanty goes to the 206. It really
27:19looks like in every draft that we are doing, there's no discount on Jeanty.
27:25Like, I mean, I don't want to say no discount. I guess there's some discount, but not nearly as much as I expected.
27:33Again, well, all in all, we've had great news regarding the Jeanty injury compared to where we thought it was.
27:45He's still dealing with what I presume to be a serious ankle sprain.
27:51And the season starts in like 3 weeks.
27:55So, I would be nervous, to say the least, to take Ashton Jeanty at the 206.
28:05At least for me, personally.
28:08Okay.
28:10Now, we have A.J. Brown at the 210.
28:16Neighbors goes 211, London goes 208.
28:26So, yeah, let me see, where did I officially put Jeanty in my rankings?
28:32Cuz this does feel high to me.
28:37Yeah, I have Jeanty at RB 12, and I have Jeanty at 20th overall.
28:42So, as of right now, I have London Neighbors ahead of Jeanty. I'm probably going to put Bowers ahead of him too.
28:49I'll probably put A.J. Brown ahead of him, Nico Collins ahead of him.
28:53Like I'm going to be much lower on Gentry than it seems like most other people in the drafts that we are doing
28:59right now.
29:00Where Gentry I'm ranking at 23. I would need to be like the Gibbs or Bijan Robinson team.
29:07Cuz I think there's a chance that Gentry misses the first month of the year.
29:15Not saying it's a guarantee by any means.
29:20But like Jeremiah Love at the 2.11, that seems incredibly strong too with the Jeremiah Love high ankle sprain.
29:33Lamar goes 3.02. Dear God, this seemed just auto draft in a $500 draft.
29:40They may or may not have just auto drafted Lamar.
29:44Rest in peace.
29:47Rest in peace.
29:52Breese goes 3.04. At least with Breese, we've gotten positive injury stuff today where they've given us confirmation that he's playing week one.
30:00I mean, I guess you could make an argument with the Jeremiah Love stuff that like oh, they just cut Trey Benson.
30:07If they just cut Trey Benson, then possibly it's a bullish signal for Jeremiah Love, but again, I don't want to read that far
30:18into it.
30:20Okay.
30:21Kyren goes 3.05.
30:24I'm surprised to see the McBride fall.
30:26And this team at six, they have Bowers, so I'd imagine they can't take McBride.
30:31I mean, obviously they can, but I would have been shocked. But no, they go Javonte, so they did not take a wide
30:38receiver in the first three rounds. I mean, neither did that team at two, but obviously that team at two, I think it
30:44was probably an accidental auto pick, the fact that they grabbed Lamar in the third. At least that would be my expectation cuz Rashee Rice makes it all
30:52the way down to the 307, which damn.
30:58Okay.
31:01We are on the clock in three picks.
31:06Yeah, McBride was the last guy in that tier for me using my draft sheets. Now that McBride's off, I have like seven
31:13guys that are all the same in my sheets.
31:22God dang, T. Higgins goes 309. The dog will not shut up. I'm yelling at her.
31:27Mrs. Flox not here to take care of her.
31:31Um, my highest ranked player is DeVonta Smith.
31:35I don't want to overthink it. We're going to take Smith here with A.J.
31:38Brown.
31:41Gone out of Philadelphia. I think we have to.
31:47Okay.
31:48Now, after we take Smith, Ted goes 311, who was not the highest in
32:05my sheets.
32:12Jacobs goes 312.
32:25We have one, two, three, four players left in this tier for me.
32:29And again, when I'm drafting with y'all in the live stream, my base expectation is going to be that quarterbacks go later. So, like using my draft sheets
32:38here, Josh Allen is in this range for me to consider, but when I'm drafting with y'all specifically and it's a six-point
32:45passing touchdown league where I think Dak, Herbert, a Stafford, these guys can get incredibly late, I'm less likely to take the elite QB.
32:54Where I also know drafting against y'all it's going to be tougher to get wide receiver running back value in comparison to your just average league
33:00where your league mates don't know what they're doing.
33:04Emeka Egbuka goes bucky. So, actually my second highest ranked player in my draft sheets for these league settings was Zay Flowers. Back whenever we took
33:14Devonta Smith. So, Flowers has been right there for us a while. I mean, he's buried a bit in sleeper ADP. Getting him
33:21in the fourth round is an absolute no-brainer. So, now we're built around our three receivers with Lamb, Devonta Smith, Zay Flowers. We have our anchor
33:29running back with Amari and Hampton as well.
33:33I feel damn good about this.
33:36I feel damn good about this.
33:39Egbuka goes 404. Obviously, I'm rooting for Egbuka with the toe injury.
33:44Uh I have him on my main Flockly team.
33:47I got him at the 405 to pair him with Taylor and Walker.
33:52Now, um if y'all haven't already, if y'all wanted to enter in to win the free flockfantasy.com season pass, uh again, all you got to do is drop a like on the
34:02live stream and then type the word season pass in the live chat and then be here at the end of the live stream when
34:10we go to give it away.
34:12Um that way we know who to send it to on flockfantasy.com. We're just going to need your flockfantasy.com username. If you leave the live stream before then,
34:21I'm going to have no way to get you the free flockfantasy.com season pass cuz you're not going to be able to tell me
34:26what your username is and then I'm not going to be able to chase you down a week later to try to figure it out. It's
34:32too late at that point. But, Josh Allen goes to the 408.
34:37Pretty damn strong value for Allen.
34:40Like again, even if it's a six-point passing touchdown format and these quarterbacks are going to slide, like Josh Allen at the 408's damn good.
34:48Like I almost took Allen in the Flock league there in the middle of the fourth myself at the 405.
35:02Okay, Scat in the end of the fourth.
35:04Again, I know I'm a broken record. I know I say this every stream. Um I had drafted a ton of Scat in Best Ball, but
35:13at this point, now that we have the injury to Kyle Manangai and at the same time the Najee Harris signing,
35:24it is impossible for me to go through and take Cam Scat in Best Ball ahead of D'Andre Swift.
35:44Okay, Tuton goes to the 501. Um for us when we only have Hampton at running back, it's going to be interesting.
35:51Now, one question we may need to ask is if Henderson's the running back to fall at the 5-6 turn, do we take
36:01Cuz at this point, if we use the draft assistant, we can see that we're pretty damn good at wide receiver points with
36:07Lamb, Devonta Smith, and Zach Ertz. We don't need to worry about wide receiver right now. However, we are falling behind at RB.
36:14So, running back's going to be our team need. It is a double flex league where we can start four wide receivers weekly
36:21and it's a full PPR league as well.
36:23So, that is something to consider.
36:28Janarian Price goes 5.05. I'm going to be honest, J'Aerrion Ealy Price was the running back that I wanted.
36:34Do not like seeing him get sniped ahead of us. Davante Adams goes 5.07, incredible value with Davante Adams.
36:52Okay.
36:59We have what with our next pick? Rhamondre Stevenson goes 5.08. I like the Rhamondre Stevenson pick as well.
37:05Here's the deal. I don't I don't want to say anything until we're actually on the clock. Again, a lot at stake in this
37:10draft. Tyler Lockett goes With me moving Treylon Burks down my ranks, Treylon Burks's no longer the guy at the top of my sheets here.
37:19Instead, it is Jameson Williams. I think we're going to go Jameson Williams at the 5.10.
37:25The bad thing about taking Jameson Williams here is again, we just punt the running back position even further when it's the position that we need.
37:34While at the same time, damn, Treylon Burks Henderson goes. I was going to say Treylon Burks's kind of the last guy in this tier.
37:43Now, the benefit that we get, again, is it's a double flex full PPR league. So, we can start four wide receivers weekly.
37:51But, we are now pretty far behind at running back and we are very much relying on our anchor with Amari Cooper
37:59and Hampton. Like, we really need Hampton to hit.
38:05Okay.
38:10Cardale Tate goes 6.01.
38:14I love the Mike Evans Cardale Tate turn from that team.
38:18You're going to hate my next pick, I think.
38:21What does this team at 11 do?
38:29What are you doing here, brother?
38:34Goes Brian Thomas. Yes, so my highest ranked players, according to my draft sheets right now are QBs with Daniel's Burrow May.
38:43But, skill positions, running back it's Jaylen Warren Ramondre. Sleeper ADP I said is Jaylen Warren and Chuba Hubbard.
38:52Don't listen to Sleeper ADP.
38:54Wide receiver, it's Christian Watson Marvin Harrison.
38:57Sleeper ADP I said is Christian Watson DK Metcalf.
39:01Y'all are going to hate this. I completely understand. If it was a two wide receiver one flex league, this would be horrendous.
39:09But in a league in which we can start four wide receivers weekly, we are just going to make sure that we have the best
39:15wide receiver two flex one flex two every week.
39:19We're going to take Christian Watson. I don't think I can draft for team need at this point and grab Jaylen Warren.
39:26I think quarterbacks are going to be easy to come by later. Like again, flock league, I ended up grabbing Drake Maye
39:32at the 708.
39:35In this I mean, what I have seen in the live streams that we have done is God damn, Tony Pollard is 604. Um what
39:49I've seen is quarterbacks are going to fall. So, I don't want to take Daniel's.
39:54I would take him in the next round, don't get me wrong.
39:57But, it's a 6-point passing touchdown format, so we don't need a quarterback with rushing upside.
40:10So, let's see.
40:22>> Now Parker Washington goes 6 of 7 and 0.
40:24A lot of people are in on P Wash, of course. Jonathan Brooks goes 6 of 8.
40:29A team at fives pulling the Jinxsy special. JSN, London, and Jonathan Brooks.
40:41Okay, Kraft 6 10. I mean, if you want Kraft there, it makes sense to take him because the two teams that are after
40:47you, neither of them had drafted a tight end. So, Kraft's on both of their boards.
40:58I wish I knew is there a way to get rid of like the freaking little emojis here?
41:11What does pick one do?
41:17Ramondre Stevenson, again Ramondre is a riser. If we have a serious injury to Treyvion Henderson, Ramondre Stevenson's the best pick on the board.
41:25Of course, we don't know if that's going to be the case.
41:35Okay, Pivin goes 7 of 1.
41:38So, yeah, these quarterbacks have made it to the seventh with Maye, Burrow, Hurts, Daniels.
41:43Jaylen Warren goes 7 of 2.
41:45I think it's pretty strong Jaylen Warren pick. I mean, if I would have got Jaylen Warren in the seventh, I would have been
41:49very excited. Obviously, I need a running back, but Okay.
42:07Dray Maye goes 7 of 4. I would have taken Maye. Addison goes 7 of 5. I really like the Addison pick. I don't
42:13think I would have taken him on our build just cuz I mean obviously we're sitting here with five wide receivers through the first six rounds.
42:19I don't really think we can even look at the wide receiver position if I'm going to be honest.
42:29Hey.
42:32Come on. Top of sleeper ADP is all quarterbacks and tight ends. It's Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels, Harold Landry, Kyle Pitts, Caleb Williams, Dak
42:39Prescott. RJ Harvey goes at the 706.
42:42I think I probably would have taken Harvey if you would have made it to us.
42:48Makai Lemon 707. I like the Lemon pick.
42:50Again, not a player that I could have personally drafted.
43:01Hey.
43:03Come on.
43:06Give us something.
43:12Caleb 708.
43:15Jalen Hurts 709. I I may have to force an RB pick here.
43:24There are two backs that we're looking at.
43:27F me.
43:29No, we can't do it. We have to go quarterback. We're going to go Jayden Daniels.
43:33Four-point passing touchdown format. I'm over the moon with this Jayden Daniels pick, by the way.
43:39However, in a six-point passing touchdown league, the problem is like Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert can straight up outscore cuz the rushing
43:46upside doesn't matter as much. Just matters how many passing touchdowns can you throw?
43:52So, I'm cool with the Jayden Daniels pick, but again, I don't think it's a massive massive value here in a six-point
44:00passing touchdown league as opposed to a four-point passing touchdown league.
44:03Cuz in a four-point passing touchdown league, guys like Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff be pretty much impossible for them to catch up with Jayden Daniels.
44:13Okay.
44:17Now, Michael Wilson goes.
44:23We're definitely taking a running back with this next pick. That is undoubtable.
44:28Unless who do we have a tight end? I guess we could go Pitts. I mean, I took Pitts in round nine of the Flock League.
44:33Obviously, I'm not opposed to going Pitts.
44:40So, technically, my two highest ranked players on my draft sheets at the moment, for anybody wondering, would be Quinton Johnston and Chris Godwin for
44:50this format.
44:52Daudell goes, which makes my decision pretty easy here.
44:56My decision will be to look at running back, and Chuba Hubbard is the top RB for us.
45:01We did officially get word today that Hubbard is going to be good to go week one. And they said he's going to be a
45:08co-starter with Jonathan Brooks, and they are going to split the backfield.
45:14That's what we've been told.
45:22Quinton Johnston 804. I love the Quinton Johnston pick for this format in particular, because again, it is a double flex league.
45:31So, I think that this is somebody that's very much live to get into your flex. If you're playing in a two wide receiver
45:38one flex format, then it gets a little bit tougher to be in.
45:44But, a two wide receiver two flex league, I'm in on Quinton Johnston at this cost.
45:54Okay.
45:57Cam Akers goes 807. Pretty early for Akers, unless there was something that came out that I didn't see about him.
46:16Okay.
46:24To Corey Kluber and Murray goes to the 810. A lot of people are speculating that JCM's injury is pretty worrisome.
46:37Obviously, it's way too early to know anything though.
46:45Okay, Downs goes to the 811.
47:01For us at this point of the draft, it's good for any wide receivers go off the board.
47:06And Stafford at the 806 is pretty rich.
47:09I mean, if you're taking Stafford there, you do have to think that there are only two teams after you that don't have a
47:14QB.
47:15The team at six and the team at one.
47:17And how many quarterbacks are currently available on the board?
47:21Um QB, you have Dart, Lawrence, Mahomes, Bo Nix, Brock Purdy.
47:26So, my guess would be like if you wanted Stafford, there's a damn good chance you could have gotten him in the ninth.
47:34Which maybe I'm wrong with. Obviously, I've been wrong before. I'm going to be wrong again.
47:38But I probably would have rolled the dice to see if you could have just gotten Mahomes, I'm sorry, Stafford
47:49a round later. If you didn't get Stafford, maybe you got Mahomes.
47:54Okay.
48:00>> Now Jordan Mason goes to the 902.
48:06Kenneth Gainwell 903. Any running back off the board is bad for us.
48:12Any and every running back off the board is a bad thing for yours truly.
48:27Okay, Rachaad White 904. I would have taken Rachaad White pretty easily.
48:31Obviously, Rachaad White had his own hamstring scare.
48:35But for a team like ours, when we just need to be taking stabs at running backs in this range and really hope we hit on
48:39someone, it would have been perfect. As you get in Flockly draft last year, what I did is I took Saquon Barkley around one,
48:46which didn't exactly work out. But we just hammered wide receivers through the middle rounds, and we didn't take our next running back until like round
48:54nine, and I ended up drafting Jaylen Warren and Cam Akers.
48:59Which obviously worked out greatly.
49:01We ended up winning the second most games in the league.
49:06So, when you don't have the running backs in the middle rounds and you take a bunch of middle round wide receivers and you build around your
49:14anchor, you need to hit on a running back too, and typically it's going to be tough to do. So, you have to go
49:21quantity over quality.
49:24You just have to take stabs at a bunch of these guys.
49:28Um I'm actually going to take a tight end here though.
49:32Looking at my draft sheets, yeah, Harold Landry is top name. I think we just have to take him.
49:39And again, we are not going to look at wide receiver. The only thing we can look at in our draft sheets, considering
49:45the fact that we have Christian Watson as our wide receiver five, will be QB, running back, tight end. My rankings have the next best play being George
49:55Kittle, which given the positive reports that we've had around Kittle, I wouldn't have fault you at all for just going through and taking George Kittle over
50:02Harold Fannin here.
50:04Concepcion goes at the 9.11.
50:07I like the Concepcion pick.
50:09I'll say if he was in a better offense, I mean, he would just be an absolute smash.
50:13Like if he went to the Philadelphia Eagles instead of Quez Watkins, he would probably be getting drafted exactly where Quez Watkins is.
50:25Okay, Matthew Golden goes 10.01.
50:32Okay, so let's continue to take stabs at running back.
50:36Sleeper 80P has the best ranked running backs as Charbonnet and Allgeier.
50:42If you're looking at my sheets, though, my sheets have it as somebody that is way the hell down here.
50:52I don't want to give up too much cuz maybe this team right before us just heard who we're looking at. No, they go
50:56Kincaid.
50:58The running back we are looking at is Mike Washington. We will take Mike Washington in the 10th. There is a good
51:05chance that I don't say a good chance, but there is a chance that Achane Achane is good to go week one and Mike Washington is only a
51:14premium handcuff running back and that's it.
51:17But also, there's a chance that Achane Achane misses the first month of the season and Mike Washington is a startable running back for us at running back two
51:27um for the first month. So, um we'll snag him here at the 10.03 and we will see if we can continue to
51:35stab at more running backs in the coming rounds.
51:44Okay.
51:46DeShawn Shribling goes at the 10:05.
51:50Woody Marks 10:06. Really like the Woody Marks pick. I have taken Woody Marks a ton in Underdog basketball drafts. And my thought process there in taking him
52:00was, hey, Woody Marks has the handcuff upside if he were to get an injury to David Montgomery. But in basketball, I
52:06actually think there will be some random usable weeks that you get from Woody Marks even without a Montgomery injury.
52:13The problem is in a league like this when you have to submit your starting lineup, like it becomes much tougher to figure
52:19out when those weeks would be that Woody Marks is interesting at all.
52:25Like again, I would expect that Woody Marks has a couple decent weeks where you could go through and you could see him score a touchdown,
52:37maybe he has 80 total yards, and he drops 15 fantasy points even with a healthy David Montgomery.
52:43But are you going to be able to figure out when that's happening? Are you going to be able to make the call to put him
52:49in your starting lineup?
52:51My guess would be probably not.
52:55That would be my guess.
52:57Okay.
52:59Now, let me swap this over. We have some Titans going here at the end of the 10th, great for us. I mean, when we wait
53:07until the 9 10 to take our first tight end with Harold Fannin. I mean, don't get me wrong, we can definitely grab
53:12another tight end at the very end of our draft, but it's not going to be a priority. Again, the biggest priority
53:18for us, pretty clearly, is going to be can we go through and can we snag some running backs here?
53:29Okay, and crap, we are frozen.
53:33And it is taking me quite some time to realize that, so let me fix that, and I apologize, ladies and gentlemen.
53:42Okay.
53:44I don't know why this computer does that.
53:47Maybe I need to update OBS. Maybe if I update OBS, it'll fix it.
53:51But ever since we got the new computer, at least once a live stream, the stream freezes.
53:58Xavier Worthy goes at the 11:07. Xavier Worthy is probably my worst pick in the Flock league.
54:05If we are talking just Homer picks, somebody that I wanted to have, didn't care about much other than going and getting my guy.
54:15I knew that Davis was in the draft, so I figured, "Damn, there's a chance that he convinces Jinxie to take him."
54:22Okay, we are going to take stabs at running back. I know my highest ranked running back here is going to be Jonah
54:28Coleman.
54:31There's another guy that we can look at as well, but he is a buried in ADP, so let's go ahead. Let's take Jonah
54:38Coleman, who is getting non-stop positive buzz out of Denver, but realistically, he is going to need to see an injury to all of a sudden become
54:48startable.
54:49Now, good news for Jonah Coleman drafters, if you are taking him, is he is running behind the most injury prone I mean injury-prone running back
55:01in the entire NFL with JK Dobbins. So, wouldn't it be the most surprising thing in the world to see an injury?
55:13Okay, Tank Dell goes at the 11:11. I have moved Tank Dell down my rankings with the trade that we saw for Kayshon Boutte over to the
55:27Houston Texans.
55:30Okay.
55:36Now, Tank Bigsby goes at the end of the 11th.
55:48Let's see if we get our other running back again. This range is all about taking as many shots as we can to
55:53hopefully find that running back too cuz we know at wide receiver we're golden.
56:03Okay, Shakir 1201.
56:12Let me move this over.
56:15Hunter Henry goes.
56:18Yeah, running back our handcuff we are targeting here is going to be Keeton Mitchell.
56:22The thing that's awkward about this team is obviously we have Amari and Hampton.
56:26So if all of a sudden Keeton Mitchell becomes viable, it means our team's probably cooked.
56:33I want to be clear. I am not drafting Keeton Mitchell for the handcuff appeal that we have in case Amari and Hampton
56:39goes down cuz especially in a league like this, right? Because this league specifically again, I put $500 in the league pot.
56:47And nobody else put in a dime. So there's $500 in there and every single penny is going to first place.
56:54So the last thing I ever want to do is figure out, "Oh, how do I get second place? How do I get third place?"
57:01No, the second place pays $0. So I want to chase the highest ceiling we possibly can.
57:08And if we are drafting your handcuff running backs, like the way that Keeton Mitchell hits is you get an injury to
57:13Amari and Hampton and if Amari and Hampton is injured, you're probably not getting first place in this league.
57:20So it's awkward for that reason. Again, I want to be clear. I am not drafting Keeton Mitchell for the reason
57:30that we have Amari and Hampton. The reason I am drafting him is I think he's the most appealing handcuff running back
57:36on the board regardless of who we have drafted so far, and we just need to take shots at running back. But, again, it is
57:43an awkward thing because we have Hampton on this team. So, there are a couple different dynamics at play.
57:48Trey Tucker at the 12.07. Again, like with the wide receivers that are in this range, like Cyrus Allen, Trey Tucker, I
57:55think they're great plays in Best Ball.
57:57But, if we compare them to the running backs, why I always try to finding putting myself in a position in which
58:02we're drafting a ton of running backs here is I know exactly when we would start Brian Robinson.
58:09I know exactly when we would start Keaton Mitchell.
58:13We would I know exactly when we would start Tank Bigsby.
58:16There is never a world in which I am starting one of those running backs if we were to see the guy in front of them
58:23stay healthy.
58:25But, it's very clear, oh, Barkley goes down?
58:30Well, Tank Bigsby is a gem inside your starting lineup.
58:36Oh, Bijan Robinson goes down? Brian Robinson is a gem.
58:42Whereas, like, when we look at, say, Trey Tucker, how would I ever know when to put Trey Tucker in my lineup?
58:55So, these wide receivers in this range, I find it hard to draft.
59:00But, of course, I will say that like in Best Ball, I think that they're incredibly appealing.
59:08Okay.
59:14Now, it looks like we have had 700 people enter the giveaway for the season pass. We will probably be giving that away after our
59:23next two picks in about 5 minutes. So, this is your last call if you wanted to enter in to win a free flockfantasy.com
59:30season pass, you need to go down there, drop a like on this live stream, and type the word season pass into the
59:39live chat. You need to do those two things.
59:44Okay.
59:48Cam Little off at the 1303.
59:54>> [sighs] >> I don't know if Cam Little's a tier of tight end that I would feel comfortable drafting here. Now, don't get me wrong.
60:04Like, obviously massive leg.
60:15But, if you took your quarterback in round seven, it's a six-point passing touchdown format, I think I would have rather draft like Mahomes over Cam
60:22Little here.
60:28Houston goes to the 1308s.
60:32I think Denver has a really tough early season schedule, right?
60:38Cuz Denver plays Yeah, Kansas City to open it. Yeah, Denver goes KC, Jacksonville, the Rams, the Niners. You can't draft Denver.
60:49I think we're going to take Mahomes here where other people are taking their kickers and defenses.
60:54Again, I'm an or I'm a raging casual. So, what I believe is I believe that Patrick Mahomes is a very good quarterback,
61:04and he can still be a very good quarterback in a six-point passing touchdown format, coming off the torn ACL, even if they
61:14added Kenneth Walker.
61:20So, I'm going to take him here in between the Eagles and Seahawks defense and y'all can make fun of me in the
61:26comments.
61:27But after we go Mahomes, I'm pretty committed again what I do in the final two rounds of almost every single one of
61:33these drafts is I'm not taking a kicker, I'm not taking a defense. I'm just grab grafting, I'm sorry, grabbing {slash} drafting, however you want to phrase it.
61:43Backup running backs where if we were to get an injury to the guy in front of them, all of a sudden we could see our
61:49guy going from being a last round pick to being a top 100 player in fantasy easily.
61:57So, Seattle, Denver both go.
62:01We are about to be on the clock again.
62:03The running backs that we'd be looking at, Traicey no longer appealing considering the Najee signing.
62:11My highest ranked running backs are Braelon, Alvin Kamara.
62:20Yes, Spears goes.
62:23Effit. We'll take Braelon Allen.
62:26Braelon Allen's less appealing now that we did get an additional word from this New York Jets coaching staff that it sounds like Breece Hall should be good
62:35to go week one.
62:38So, because Breece should be good to go week one, I don't want to overthink this.
62:44And I don't want to go through and say that Braelon Allen potentially is a start for us in our running back two
62:53spot for this team first week of the season. I think Mike Washington is more likely to be that start, but you never
63:00know, maybe Breece Hall does re-aggravate something. Not wishing it on anyone, of course, but it is fantasy football and we have to draft with a
63:08range of outcomes in mind.
63:10Now, let me go ahead, pull up the wheel to determine who gets that free season pass. We'll delete the entries from
63:16yesterday. We'll copy the entries in from today. Put them in there. Let's hit paste.
63:25And let's spin this wheel and see who wins.
63:29Um pretty much every night over the past like three or four nights, we've actually had the winner hang out with us
63:34till the end of the stream to claim their season pass.
63:37So, Emerson Ben Como, Emerson Ben Como, you're the winner of the freeflockfantasy.com season pass. I appreciate you, my friend. I'm excited
63:48to go ahead and get you set up. All you need to do is let me know in the live chat right now
63:56what your flockfantasy.com username is.
63:59If you come and tell me a week later, "Hey, I won it a week ago." I'm not going to remember.
64:05It's now or never, brother. Let me know if um you're here and if you can claim that freeflockfantasy.com season pass.
64:18Okay.
64:20Now, Jayden Blue goes 1409, Ray Davis 1408. Ray Davis was a running back that I took a stab on in the final two rounds
64:27of the flock league. I probably actually need to go through and look at cutting him.
64:36And placing our
64:47bids for the waivers, which I think are supposed to run tonight in the flock league.
64:57Okay.
65:04Now, I think I don't want to say anything, but yeah, I think I'm cutting I'm cutting at the very minimum Shonn
65:10Tucker for a player.
65:13The very minimum, Shaun Tucker is being cut.
65:20Okay.
65:32But, I think that should be it for the live stream tonight. I really appreciate you all. I need to go through and submit my
65:40waiver wire claims.
65:43And hopefully I get my guys.
65:46I'm looking at very I actually I can't give any word here at all on any waiver wire stuff cuz I have no idea
65:59who's from my league in here watching.
66:01So, I can't say I can't even give a single hint.
66:04But, again, much love, ladies and gentlemen. I appreciate you. I hope I get to see you out in the live stream
66:10tomorrow night and we are doing the $500 leagues every single night until the season starts. So, hopefully I get to see you there. Just make sure you
66:17subscribe to the channel.
66:19And yeah, thank you so much for everything.
