0:00something I do every single day during the season. And we're starting today.
0:04Every single day, I'll be here answering your fantasy football questions, looking at your fantasy football teams. And let's go ahead and let's do it for our
0:15first squad here, which is Cheddar says, "I know the lineup's solid right now, but part of me wants to trade for
0:21Barkley to get the Eagle stack because I think he's going to have a big year. Do you think this is a good idea, or should
0:27I just let it ride with the team that I drafted?" So, I am always of the opinion that if you're excited to root for a
0:33player, you're excited to root for the team, fantasy football is supposed to be fun, right? So if you have Jaylen Herz
0:40and you are a Philadelphia Eagles fan, by all means go out there, trade for Saquon Barkley. The only thing I would
0:48hesitate and the only thing I'll say against it is if all of a sudden for you to get Barkley, you are having to go out
0:55there and you're having to send some crazy offer where maybe you are trading away Travis CTN Malik neighbors and then this is the only thing that that owner
1:05would do. At that point, I would say probably not. You probably would rather just go through and hold on to the value
1:12here. But if you can find maybe a little bit more of a reasonable trade, right, where maybe you send like Travis, I'm
1:20sorry, Jadearian Price and Nico Collins and instead this is the price tag you're going to getting Saquon Barkley with, then by all means go ahead and go for
1:30it. Now, I will say looking at your team, you have a great squad here. You have one of the best two teams in this
1:35league. It is a 10 team start eight format. Our starting lineup now consists of Jaylen Herdz, Gibbs, ETN neighbors, Nico Lovelin, Price, Carnell, Tate. So
1:46maybe the only thing that I would say that this team's going to struggle with is at the beginning of the year relying
1:52on Jader and Price, Carnell Tate's maybe going to be a little bit tough. Maybe you don't want both of the rookies in
1:58your starting lineup come week one. Now, when we look at some of the names on your bench, I do think that there are
2:04potential waiverwire pivots to be had. I realistically don't know what the upside truly is for Malik Washington. He's going to turn 26 years old this year.
2:13He's never finished higher than the wide receiver 73. Good chance that Caleb Douglas, good chance that Chris Bell, good chance that Greg Dolich all finish
2:21ahead of him in targets. So, I think Malik Washington, somebody that's not worth a roster spot in my mind, I would
2:28honestly rather have Caleb Johnson. I'd rather sit there with Johnson, see what if we get an injury to Marshon Lloyd or
2:36what if Marshon Lloyd turns out to just be really bad, right? Um, so I think you have more of an upside there to be a
2:44realistic RB1 for the Green Bay Packers and then I would think that he would be flexible in fantasy. And then also
2:50Keenan Allen would be somebody that I would look at as well instead of Malik Washington. So I think Washington's an easy cut here picking up either Keenan
2:59or Caleb. Um looking at the backup quarterback, we have Jackson Dart.
3:05Having Jaylen Herz, it's a situation in which I don't know if you're ever starting Jackson Dart. Now, it's a little bit of an awkward spot though in
3:15that you don't have a phenomenal option on the waiverwire to go out there and pick up, right? It's not like this is a
3:22super shallow format where you could go out there and you could pick up Jordan Addison. So, in this kind of world, if
3:28your best pickups Keenan Allen or Caleb, I'm fine with you rostering the second quarterback with Jackson Dart. I'm also fine with you rostering Coulson Loveland
3:37here as your tight end. Um, all in all, you have a very good team. I think you were completely fine to go out there and
3:42trade for Barkley. I don't think your team's good enough to like dramatically overpay like a deal like this. Um I think if you could maybe make this deal
3:50happen, then by all means go for it. And then the other thing that I would note is just the small waiverwire pivot where
3:57I personally would cut Malik Washington and pick up one of those different names. But I really appreciate you and really hope I was able to help you out
4:05in some way with this, my friend.
4:08Now, let's move this over to our next question. This one's going to be coming out from TGAR says, "Just wanting some
4:17input on if I should make any preseason moves before the season and your thoughts on the team." Okay, so right now you're in the middle of this league
4:25when it comes to value. According to the land league analyzer, it is a 10 team double flex format. So the depth here is
4:33going to matter a bit where it's not like you only can go out there and get an elite quarterback, an elite tight
4:38end, and abuse your league mates that way. No, if it's a double flex league, then it does matter you having some
4:44depth at running back and receiver.
4:46Quarterback for now, you have Caleb. The options on the waiverwire include Kyler Goff, Tyler Shuck. Um, for me, I think if you had a really bad player at the
4:55very bottom end of your bench, it would be worthwhile going through and cutting them and picking up Kyler Murray.
5:03However, um, it's probably not going to be that setup here for your team because as of now, Kyle Manungai is maybe the most
5:13obvious cut for you. And I would rather just hold on to Kyle Manungai. Yeah. So, I don't necessarily think there are any
5:18easy waiverwire pivots for you to make on a squad like this. If there were to be a trade that you could potentially
5:25make because waiverwire not really accessible is you have one, two, three, four, five startable running backs if we include Jonathan Brooks and Tony Pard. I
5:35think if we could potentially go through and try to leverage some of this running back value, find the team that had Josh
5:42Jacobs and see if we can try to backfill their running back room where yeah, like this team here has Amari and Hampton,
5:49Chuba Hubard, Josh Jacobs, Woody Mars, Taji Spears. If I were them, I would be terrified of my current RB situation having to rely on Chuba Hubard week one
5:58or potentially Woody Marks week one. So, I would be going over there and trying to see if there's something that we
6:03could get done. Now, um, tight end isn't super compelling, they have Kyle Pittz.
6:08Like, if you uh really really wanted to, I'm not saying that you need to do this at all, by the way, but I'm saying like
6:15if for whatever reason you love Kyle Pittz, sure, you can go out here and make this move. It'd be better if you
6:20could get some fab dollars added in, or maybe you just get a handcuffed running back like Woody Marks in here. Um, but
6:26if you wanted to trade effectively Pard and Ferg for Cal Pitts, like that could be where you go. But if anything, I
6:33would rather you just try to leverage your running back depth to get an upgrade at receiver, right? Because if we go through and we look at the wide
6:40receivers that this team has, I mean, obviously plan A and the first offer that I would go out there and send is
6:46trying to find a way to get to Justin Jefferson, seeing if there's any world in which we could try to sell like Roma
6:53and Kairen Williams to get to Jedus.
6:55Now, the realistic outcome of this is you're probably not able to get it done.
6:59You're probably not able to make this move. Um, so the backup plan would be like as we go through and look at the
7:07other wide receivers on this team, um, Devont Smith does stand out as somebody that could be an upgrade over Roma Dunce. So, I could actually see this
7:15being a win-win deal if you were to try to go through and send like either Roma Dunce and Jonathan Brooks for Dvont
7:20Smith or if you were to try to go through and send Tony Pard and Roma Dunce for Dvont Smith. I think this is
7:28another trade that you would win. And again, for this roster that just lost Josh Jacobs that's relying on Chuba Hubard, I could see them wanting to go
7:36through and make that type of trade where realistically for your team, like your team's good enough where you don't necessarily need to worry about losing
7:43one of these depth running backs and if you get Smith, he would be a clear upgrade in that flex spot right now. So,
7:49um, those would be some offers I would send out, but all in all, you have a pretty damn good team, my guy, and I
7:54wouldn't stress about much here. Now Dan RK coming through says any moves slashtrades you would make before the season. Should I keep Chason Higgins on
8:04the same team? Drafted both wide receivers as he was by far and away the best value during the draft. So for me I
8:11want to say that I am a-okay completely fine having multiple wide receivers from the same team on the same squad. Now,
8:20don't get me wrong, it is going to lower your floor, especially if you have both the combination of Jamar Chase as well
8:27as T. Higgins because if you were to get that injury to Joe Burrow, your team's screwed, right? You're not only getting
8:34a hit with the Jamar, but you're also getting a hit with the Higgins. But at the same time, I mean, at the end of the
8:42day, this is a start nine format. You're starting three wide receivers and two flex spots. So, it's not like they're making up a crazy high percentage of
8:51your starting lineup output. So, I actually really like this and I will say, um, I think you did a phenomenal job adjusting for these league settings
8:58where you can start five wide receivers weekly. Um, I think it looks damn damn good. Um, but you're saying also could
9:05trade Daniels for Burrow straight up if you think the stack is worth it. It's a four-point passing touchdown. Um, I do
9:10have Joe Burrow ranked over Jaden Daniels and the fact of the matter is if Joe Burrow gets injured, your team's probably not winning regardless. So,
9:19this is something that I am a-ok. Okay.
9:21You decide what direction that you want to go in, but I personally would probably roster Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and T. Higgins all in the same squad.
9:32I'm completely fine if somebody wanted to make an argument against it. But for my own fantasy football strategy and preference, that would be something I
9:40would look to do. So, um, and then going through and looking at the waiverwire, I will say when we're looking at Justice
9:47Hill specifically, there's no real upside for Justice Hill in a weekly managed league to ever turn into an every week starter for you. He's never
9:56finished with more than eight fantasy points per game. Even if we were to get an injury to Derk Henry, Justin Justice
10:04Hill's role doesn't expand. Like, he kind of stays the same guy that he is.
10:08And that's just a pure receiving running back. So, in like baseball, I think he's interesting. But in your regular re league, I actually don't even think that
10:16he's a handcuff to Derrick Henry. So, I would rather hold on to a different handcuff here. Um, I would cut Justice
10:23Hill. I would cut Tyron Tracy. I may even consider cutting Isaiah Pacheco to be honest with the Pacheco injury.
10:31And the three handcuffed running backs that I would prefer would be Ray Davis, Dylan Samson, and Kayn Black. I think if
10:36we were to get an injury to James Cook, Ray Davis is a start. Um I think if you were to get an injury to Quinn Sean
10:42Judkins, Dylan Samson's a start. I think if you get an injury to CMC, Kayn Black has the potential to be the starting
10:47running back in San Francisco. So I would swap those three depth running backs. going over here looking at wide receiver tight end. I think I would keep
10:55this as is. But all in all, I think you did a phenomenal job adjusting to your league settings. If you were playing in
11:02a two wide receiver, one flex league, man, this would be horrible. Uh you would have absolutely sold the bag going this heavy into wide receiver and you
11:12would have needed to try it your best to try to sell like Tigens and Daltton Cade and go out there and get a tight end
11:19like Coulson Loveland.
11:21But because you can start five wide receivers here, you can have Jamar, London, Higgins, JO, Brian Thomas all in your starting lineup at the same time in
11:31a league like this. I think you did exactly what you should have built around wide receiver. I personally would not stress about having Jamar and
11:38Higgins on the same team. I think you absolutely crushed it for these league settings in particular, my guy. I appreciate you sticking with us for so
11:46damn long. I know you've been a member of the flock forever now. Now, shout out Shine, another longtime member of the
11:54flock, going through and sending five YouTube memberships.
11:57Now, let's pull this over to our next team. We're going to skip by the Dynasty teams for this live stream in
12:05particular. This one is going to be the Barberhop Boys. It says it is a big 16 team league. It's no flex, so you're
12:15starting six. Yeah, we can see this with flockfantasy.com here. um PPR with yards at 25 rush reception per point and 50
12:25pass per point, three-point pass passing touchdown. So, it seems like it's depressed scoring. What do I do with all these weird league rules? What kinds of
12:32players should I focus on with waiverss and trades? Let me make sure that I truly understand the league settings for this.
12:42Okay.
12:44Now, if we are looking at one point per 25 rushing yards or 25 receiving yards,
12:53but it's a full PPR format, my read of the situation is going to be
13:00that touchdowns matter above all else.
13:06Also, if it is a three-point passing touchdown league, but six point per rushing touchdown, the quarterbacks like Matthew Stafford,
13:16Joe Burrow, Jared Goff, the guys that are going to have no rushing TDs this season, they will suck. Jaylen Herz will run laps
13:27around them. So, these weird league settings, in my read of it, it's one, you want players in good offenses that will score a lot of touchdowns. Two, you
13:38want a quarterback that can give you rushing TDs. Three, your running backs probably need to catch the ball. Now, looking at your current setup, um I have
13:49no idea how you're able to draft this team in a 16 team format. Like, let's call a spade a spade here. Um, your team
13:56looks like it is from a 12 team league, right? Um, where we would assume like, oh, Jamar round one, Nico round two,
14:03like ETN's a third, David McGomery's a fourth. I guess then in the fifth round it would fall off. But for this to be a
14:1016 team league, it shouldn't have even been possible for you to get Jamar Chase and Nico Collins on the same squad.
14:17According to the league analyzer, you have the best team here. You have plenty of depth. I actually love Gainwell in a
14:23setup like this.
14:26Um, if we are looking at Gainwell specifically, while the touchdown upside may not necessarily be there, if it is a full PPR format,
14:36hell, I mean, he can rack up receptions on the top end of his ceiling, which is going to give you a considerable floor
14:43here that you would need in a 16 team or so. I actually really like this squad.
14:48Um, one note that I would have is if you could make a very simple deal where you switch from like Caleb and throw in like
14:57a really low indepth RB like Katon Mitchell and somehow get to Jaylen Herz.
15:03Um, this is something that I would find very interesting because again I think quarterbacks that are going to score those rushing touchdowns
15:11are at a pretty large premium for this league specifically.
15:16And the other interesting note is in terms of waiverwire pivots, I personally would consider moving off of Katon Mitchell for Caleb
15:27Johnson. I think Katon Mitchell's probably the better running back between the two. But for Keaton Mitchell to ever actually hit your starting lineup, you
15:36would need an Amari and Hampton injury.
15:39Caleb Johnson, I think, has a small possibility of just straight up out playing and beating Marshon Lloyd.
15:48Unlikely, but a small possibility.
15:54So, I think I would maybe make those two small pivots, but all in all, you have a balanced team and at the same time, it's
16:03the best team in this league. So, I really wouldn't stress here at all.
16:08Now, let's move this over to our next team. We're going to skip by the dynasty ones for right now. This is Halley Lion
16:15says, "I feel like the Coker pick could have been a second quarterback or another running back. With it being a 10-person league, I feel more confident
16:22finding a quarterback off the waiverwire when needed to compared to a 12person format." Well, I'll say first things first, my guy. Um, you have the best
16:30team in this league according to the league analyzer. I'll say also looking at the options on your waiverwire, uh, you have phenomenal QBs that we can sit
16:39with. It looks like you already dropped Jaylen Coker, which for me, I definitely think was probably the right call. Like, um, if we are talking wide receiver off
16:49the waiver wire, I would rather have Deshawn stribbling than I would Coker.
16:55Um, looking at quarterback, we have Justin Herbert. I know you're saying that you're feeling confident that you can go to the waiverss for a quarterback
17:02and yeah, we have Kyler Murray sitting out there on the waiverwire as well. So, I'd agree with you with that. Running
17:07back, you have Bejon, Amari, and Hampton. So, you have two anchor RBs.
17:11Um, this combo should never be possible in a 12 team format. I understand it happening in a 10 team league, but it's
17:17still a really good start through the first two rounds. And on top of that, you have the depth of Raadre, Marshon
17:25Lloyd, Chuba Hubard, Kenneth Gainwell. a plenty of running back depth. Wide receiver, you have Rice, Wadd, Rome, DJ Moore, Michael Pitman, and then you have
17:33the elite tight end with Bower. So, here's the deal. Now that you hit on Marshon Lloyd, you do have some flexibility where if we can find a team
17:42that's desperate for running back points, um maybe we could try to go through and squeeze them to get a better quarterback. Like, let's look at the
17:49Josh Jacobs team. The Josh Jacobs team here has Jonathan Taylor, Trevian, Jordan Mason, Jaory Kroski, Merritt, and then Josh Jacobs. So for them to have
17:59Trevian as their running back, too. If I were them, I'd be very interested in Raadre Stevenson.
18:05Like, is there a world in which you could go through and try to make a play to get an upgrade elsewhere in this
18:11starting lineup? I know this may be way too aggressive. We'll see exactly how desperate this team is, but a trade I
18:19would send out there and make them reject is I would offer Ryson or Madre for Jefferson.
18:26Again, highly unlikely they do it, but maybe, just maybe, with them being desperate at running back, they consider. And then if you can try to
18:34make one of those two for one deals, I would just go over to the waiverwire and pick up either Dean Shribling, Garren
18:38Jones, or Kyler Murray for free. The other teams that could potentially be desperate for running back points, there aren't many just because it's a 10
18:47team format. I think the other trades that would stand out, you're probably going to have to wait until the season starts. We actually see some guys not
18:55producing, some people um need help and then all of a sudden they come to you.
19:03Okay.
19:09But I think that's all I got. I really appreciate you and really hope I was able to help you out in some way here.
19:19But fact of the matter is just look at the league analyzer. You have significantly uh more value than anybody else in this league. So I don't really
19:26think you have to do anything.
19:28Okay. I see a ton of people in the chat asking how they can send their teams to me. Uh I'm going to be honest with y'all
19:35at the moment.
19:38Um, we are backed up on teams. The teams we are looking at at the moment are were submitted five days ago. Obviously, you
19:47can tell the majority of people have already submitted teams. They've been on flockfantasy.com for years, so they kind of know the deal. If you got the season
19:56pass and you used code flock, you should have multiple free start, sit, and trade questions in your account. Again, if you
20:04get the season pass, sign up with code flock. you get those free questions to ask me. We've said that every single
20:09video for the past like three months.
20:11Now, if you're an annual [ __ ] with Code Flock, then you should also get a free team review on top of those
20:18free start and trade questions.
20:21So, um as of now, these are all annual that have been on the site for a while, blah blah blah. Um, if you
20:32have the $34 season pass, you should get free start sit trade questions that you can ask me in these live streams and we
20:39will pivot over to those trade questions relatively soon.
20:45Okay, now let's move this over to our next one. Says, I got pick number two out of a 10person league. What do you
20:52think of your boy's team? Okay, so we are right now fifth in the league analyzer, but if you look at the value
20:58set, it looks like there are five teams near the top here with value and then you have the considerable falloff afterwards. So we are one of those top
21:06five. Here's the big thing that I want to stress. It is a two wide receiver one flex format.
21:16So if it is a two wide receiver, one flex league, this is a world in which you are not
21:28really incentivized to build around running back wide receiver depth. Like look at your team right now and let's go through and
21:41let's look at the amount of players you have on your bench. You have Pard, Metcafe, Jordan
21:51Addison, Xavier Worthy all on the bench right now.
21:56So for me in a league like this, especially as we go over to the waiverwire and see that there are okay
22:02running backs and receivers like Caleb Johnson, Jonah Coleman, Ke Mitchell, Tank Bixsby, Romeo Dob, Shakir, Keenan Allen Shahed.
22:11If possible, I would like to up tier at quarterback. Like the main thing that I would try to do on your team is again,
22:19this is just kind of abusing your league settings if you could trade Drake May and DK Medaf and go ahead and pivot over to Lamar
22:34Jackson. It just makes so much sense in a 10 team, two wide receiver, one flex because again, you're not really relying
22:40on Mechaf to hit your starting lineup anyway.
22:44But the problem with these league settings specifically will be there aren't that many teams in your league that like need an
22:55extra wide receiver. Like it's tougher to actually get trades done in a league like this. I would make a couple waiverwire pivots if I were you. At
23:03least one with Taji Spears. Best case scenario is well one I want to say he's never averaged 10 fantasy points per
23:11game. Best case scenario is he turns out to be the head of the committee for the Tennessee Titans. So I don't know what
23:19that true ceiling is there. So, what I would probably do instead is um
23:38I would probably cut Spears and pick up Caleb Johnson or Jonah Coleman who obviously things need to change in their respective backfields,
23:49but the upside to have a starter for the Packers. So the upside to have a starter for the Broncos would just be so much
23:54higher and I think Jonah Coleman's a much better running back as well. So or you can go and get Katon Mitchell tanks
24:01big the handcuffs that you have for the Chargers or the Eagles. So I would cut Spears. I'd pick up a different handcuff
24:07running back and then I would try to sell a wide receiver depth piece to get to an elite QB.
24:13Now let's move this over to Buddy with our next question. This is the number one team in this league. It is very
24:23similar to the team that we just looked at. It's a 10 team, two wide receiver, one flex. So, the depth doesn't matter
24:29at all. The other thing that's an interesting note is there are very quality players out there on the waiver wire. Like you can go and pick up
24:36Deshawn Stribbling for literally free right this second.
24:41Looking at quarterback, we have Dak Prescott under center.
24:47Running back we are sitting with Amari Hampton, Travis Etien, David McGomery, Trevian Henderson. Wide receiver, we have Chase
24:58Pickkins, Wadd Addison, and then we have Craft and Isaiah likely at tight end.
25:03Looking at our bench right now, we do have plenty of running back depth we can try to leverage like with Henderson,
25:09Montgomery, Michael Pitman, Addison, Wandale, five startable names on the bench. I think in a two wide receiver one flex league like this, it would be
25:17very advantageous if you could potentially trade a running back and get an upgrade elsewhere. Like this team here specifically did lose Josh Jacobs.
25:26Now they do have Marshon Lloyd, so maybe they feel a little bit better.
25:35So, if we could go through and try to send like David McGomery, let's pull up that Jacobs team.
25:52Like, is there any world whatsoever in which you can go through and send like Montgomery and Pickkins for JSN?
26:02if they don't like McGomery and Travis ETN and Pickkins for JSN instead or maybe even uptiering keeping ETN
26:16and trying to send like Amari and Hampton and Jayen Wadd for JSN.
26:21Let me see. Are there any other teams in this league that need help at running back? This team has Rico Dattle as their
26:26running back three with Genty and Bree both banged up.
26:31I'd be very interested to see if there's any way in which you could try to get to a Lamar Jackson upgrade. Like I would be
26:37interested in a shallower format like this to try to send Dak Prescott and Trevon for Lamar Jackson because in that world then you open up the roster spot
26:47anyway. You still have plenty of running back depth where Trevian was your running back four and you have a free open spot where you can pick up Deson
26:54dribbling and if he hits you can try to leverage him with craft for an upgrade.
27:01So yeah, I would go through I would approach the teams that are lacking running back depth like this Lamar team that has Dowel as their third running
27:08back and see if you can make a deal similar to Dak and Henderson to get that QB upgrade or if somehow someway the
27:16Jacobs team is desperate enough to send you JSN. Obviously that'd be preferred but much much easier said than done.
27:24But I really appreciate you and really hope I was able to help you out in some way here. Now, let me refresh this. I
27:32think we're going to go over and we are going to take a peek at some of the trade questions that are currently
27:38waiting for us. And as we pull these up, I do want to send out some more free questions in the chat. So, if y'all want
27:45to enter in to win a free um a set of questions for flockfantasy.com, all you need to do is one, drop a like
27:53on the live stream and then two, type your flockfantasy.com username in the live chat. That way, I know who to send the question to. So,
28:05drop a like and then let me know your username in the chat and we can go ahead and try to send those questions out to
28:10y'all before we get to these start sets.
28:13Okay.
28:15Oh my god, I just pulled up how many team reviews that we have waiting for us
28:24and it is an unreasonable amount.
28:30It is It's literally unbelievable.
28:40Oh my gosh. Um, we're turning off the ability to buy any vouchers. The only way y'all can get questions is with the
28:46motherflocker, the season pass, and winning them in the chat. Um, let's send one out to Burrito Bandito. Send you over a couple free questions here, my
28:56guy. Appreciate you hanging out with us.
28:59And yeah, I should not have looked up how many questions we had waiting because now I am freaking stressed. I'm going to be here literally all day.
29:07Burrito bandito.
29:12How do you spell Okay, it was a burrito with an O.
29:17Burrito Bandido. Just found you and just sent you over a couple free questions.
29:25Appreciate you hanging out with us in this live chat, my guy. And let's send this other one over to RJ Harvey Lover.
29:36RJ Harvey Lover, I don't see you on flockfantasy.com. I don't know if you have code flock on your account. If you
29:46don't, you can add it to your account page and that's what would help me look you up. Let me try to send this over to
29:52Caleb here. Caleb with FTG at the end of his name.
29:58Okay. Just sent you over some free questions. Appreciate Appreciate you hanging out with us in this live stream, my friend. Okay.
30:06Now, let's start ripping through these questions because I have a ridiculous amount of questions to answer on the site right now and we are going to be
30:16here for a very very very very very long time. Okay, so big fry with this next one. Trading away Daniels and
30:24Addison for neighbors and Dak Prescott.
30:27This is a dynasty superflex move where I would go ahead and make this trade.
30:34I think I would put Dak well ahead of Addison and Neighbors and Daniels in a similar plane in that format in
30:41particular. Now Flashy trading away Blake Cororum and Devont Smith and in return getting Malik Neighbors.
30:52Okay, for me here uh this is an absolute no-brainer. Says, "What kind of Garmin do you rock by the way?" I think this is
30:58the Phoenix Garmin.
31:01The Phoenix something. I don't exactly know.
31:04But yeah, this is a no-brainer from Elite Neighbors if you can get it, my guy. Doesn't even matter what your team
31:08looks like. Um, Jay Tickler trading away Jonathan Brooks and London for Achan.
31:13Leftover wide receiver. You'd be completely fine. You have a ton of wide receiver points. 10 team league. Yeah, go get the best player. Get Devon Achan
31:20here. Now, IGM trading away Kairen and Luther Burden for Justin Jefferson. Um, two wide receiver, one flex format. This isn't even remotely close. I have
31:29Jefferson on my team. If I got offered this, I would laugh it out of the building. You want Justin Jefferson now?
31:34Nose ring Steve going from Daniels to Bo Nicks downgrade. Marshon Lloyd to Chris Rodriguez downgrade. Um Drake London to George Pickkins lateral move. Dallas
31:46gotd to Trey McBride massive upgrade. So I would say London Pickkins and McBride are kind of the only pieces in this
31:53trade that matter. All the other is just random fluff and um I don't know
32:06random fluff that just distracts from the meat and potatoes of the deal. If you can trade London for Pickins and McBride, you do so in a heartbeat. Now
32:14Manny trading away Pikua Daltton Concincaid for CD Lamb Coulson Lovelin.
32:21Concincaid's a zero here. It's would you rather have Lamb and Loveland or Puganua?
32:29The points per game gap between these guys over the past three years. Over the past three years, Puganua's average about 19 fantasy points per game.
32:39CD Lamb has been at about 18.
32:46It's damn close. Before Puka Nakua went back to practice, I would say that I would probably rather have the CD Lamb
32:54and Coulson Lovelin side. But now that Puka is back at practice, I think that instead it's truly just going to be up
33:03to you here.
33:06Now Beto is trading away AG Brown, Mai Lemon for Z Flowers, Jaylen Wadd.
33:1412 team double flice league. So, these guys are definitely both starting for you.
33:19And actually, this league with these settings, you need the extra starter.
33:24So, I wouldn't fault you at all for going through and making this trade.
33:29I think most leagues, I'd rather have the AJ Brown side, but for yours specifically, that's a very reasonable deal to make.
33:37Okay, so now Aliti says, "With Genty and Tyson hurt, not sure if I say yes." Oh, you you do this deal regardless. It
33:44looks like Jeremiah Love is going to be good to go week one. If you could go through and you could trade for Jeremiah
33:50Love at that kind of cost, you just have to do it. Storm trading away Cal Pitts in a future first for Brock Bowers in a
33:57Dynasty League, especially a one quarterback dynasty format. It's a no-brainer. Beto, longtime member of the Flockier, trading away AJ Brown and
34:05Quinton Johnston for Flowers and Waddle.
34:08This is actually the same u deal structure that he just asked previously. Um I again I think it's a fair trade. I think it is going to be up
34:17to you specifically for your team where you could use the extra starters I understand making the deal. If it was like a 10 team format or a league in
34:24which you only have two wide receivers and one flex then I probably don't do it. But here I think it's a little bit
34:30of a different setup.
34:35Okay. So now let's move over to our next one.
34:40This is from Alfidi. I think Alfidi already asked one, but this is a different says, "Counter I sent to Love for Wadd previously." Um, yeah, man.
34:48Like don't get greedy here. If you can trade Wadd for Love, you do it. Now, of course, this other trade where if you
34:54can get Love and Jameson Williams, it becomes that much better. But I want to caution you from getting greedy in this
35:04man. Your first deal looked pretty damn good. I would do either of them, but don't mess up a good thing. Now,
35:12Panthers says, "Made this trade for Puka. Did I mess up?" It's a 10 team start format. Left over at running back,
35:18you have Chase Brown, Tutin, Marshon Lloyd Dobbins.
35:22Wide receiver, you have Puka, St. Brown, Flowers, Luther Burden. So, here's the deal. It was a fair price for Puka Nikua. If this was a 12 team double flex
35:32where the waiver wire was going to be a little more thin, then I would say yes, you messed up. You shouldn't have made
35:37this deal. You overpaid. But with it being a 10 team league where reasonably you can expect that we get a couple good
35:44players off the waiver wire afterwards, then it's fine. I mean, of course, you're overpaying for Pugnua. Let's be on the same page here. But in a
35:52shallower format like that, it's kind of optimal to just go out there and overpay for the stud. Now, SDEV, um, this first trade, I'll send you over
36:01a free trade voucher. It looks like you accidentally put it in wrong. Um, the next one, trading Lamb for Neighbors and
36:08Marshon Lloyd. Uh, yeah, I don't care how down bad you are at running back, you're not doing this.
36:14Lamb's in a different tier than Neighbors. Marshall Lloyd doesn't bridge the gap.
36:19I am not that excited about Marshall Lloyd. He's fine and he's 100% worth a free pickup if you can get him for free.
36:27But I'm not going out there and paying a considerable amount for him.
36:34Now, good wombat is trading away Scat Javvante Daniels for Addison and Bowers.
36:40What do you have left over at running back? It's a shallow format where I definitely think Bowowers is the most valuable asset. It's surprising to see
36:46that you're going to be able to get away with this because you just have so much freaking running back production. How
36:51the hell do you have this many running backs these league settings with this amount of RB help on your team? By all means,
36:59yeah, go ahead and make this deal. But I'm honestly surprised that a trade like this
37:09works out for you because you're giving away a ton of running back production.
37:13Most teams couldn't afford to do so. Now JDubs trading away Montgomery for Blake Corum Madre. It's a 10 team league here,
37:19man. You would have to go through and you'd have to cut probably I mean you would cut Brian Robinson but still
37:27it's a fine trade but I would probably rather have Montgomery in a 10 team league. If it was a 12 team format then
37:35maybe I'd be a little bit more willing to go out there and down tier to pick up a handcuff with Blake Corum. Now, T
37:48boys, it looks like you didn't put anything with the trade, so I'm gonna send you over another free trade voucher to submit. Dodger trading away Jacobs
37:55for Jordan Tyson.
37:57Super interesting question here, and I would absolutely love to know what the chat has to say about this.
38:04So, I would say the first thing that is worth noting is if either of these players you cannot put in your injured
38:14reserve slot, you do not want them. If you'd have to keep either Josh Jacobs or Jordan Tyson on your bench, wasting a
38:22bench spot, not allowing you to make waiverwire claims, bye-bye. You don't need them on your team. The only world in which you want these guys is if they
38:31don't take up a roster spot for you at all. And in that world in which they don't take up a roster spot, please let
38:38me know, chat, what would you rather have?
38:43Would you rather have Josh Jacobs or Jordan Tyson chat? Please spam. Let me hear it cuz I am very very interested to
38:53hear what y'all have to say.
38:57Okay, we got Tyson, Jacobs, Tyson, Tyson Tyson Tyson, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson. Okay, it looks like the majority of people in the
39:08chat want Tyson. I want Tyson as well. I figured I was biased because I have Tyson on my own team, but yeah, I would
39:15rather have Tyson here. Again, if either guy you can't put in your IR, then f him. You don't want either. But if you
39:22can throw one in the IR, I'd rather throw Tyson in there. Now, Justin trading away Javvante and JSN for Jir Gibbs. It's a 10 team, two wide
39:30receiver, one flex league. Running back depth would be very shaky after. So, for that reason, I don't know if you can
39:37afford doing this, but in these league settings, I like it in general. Now, let me give a shout out to Underdog. Can I
39:44show y'all something that I am so damn excited about?
39:48Is my phone about to die? So, did y'all see I'm just going to show y'all my tweet.
39:54My phone's about to die. I don't know if I'm going to be able to pull it up on Underdog. Just reminded me of Jir Gibbs.
40:00So, Underdog dropped this thing today where you can rip sports cards. And of course, you know, I mean, I'm sponsored by Underdog, so I'm on Underdog
40:07literally every single day. and you can like rip packs of sports cards and then you can either instantly cash them out
40:13or you can ship them to your house. Let me see if I can find the card for you.
40:19But I got the coolest Jamir Gibbs card that they are shipping to me. I am so freaking excited about these cards.
40:28Y'all have no idea. I'm going to be honest. I probably should have gone live before this.
40:36Um, this is literally the exact card I got, exact PSA and everything.
40:44Um, I should have gone live before this, but I was staring at all the cards I got from Underdog today. They're they're un
40:53they're in processing right now.
40:55Hopefully, I get the tracking number and they get shipped to me soon. Look at how freaking cool this is.
41:02Tell me that is not the coolest card ever.
41:06I am so freaking pumped. The only sports cards I have are these Xavier worthy ones, which shout out to super cool member of
41:20the flock at the fan meetup last year.
41:22Brought everybody in the Flock League sports cards and he brought me a bunch of Xavier worthy. Incredible. I keep them on my desk. I freaking love them.
41:33But Um, now I have like 20 really cool cards coming to me, including this one here.
41:41So, shout out the underdog packs. I am so freaking excited about it. And um, yeah, I'll show them to y'all when they
41:50get here.
41:52But I am Elijah says, "Downs are fire." Yeah, I know very little about cards, but I pulled that and it was like cash out for
42:01900 bucks or whatever or shipping. And I was like, "No, I for sure want this one.
42:06This one looks so freaking cool."
42:10But very excited about it.
42:12Now Jay Blaine trading away ETN DJ Moore two first for She Rice Trey McBride. So
42:22it's a Dynasty League.
42:25These are late first. We are labeled as a strong contender and afterwards this trade makes us a juggernaut. So, if you
42:31are a contending team and you are confident that these are late picks, it probably makes sense for you to go through and pull the trigger here
42:39because it looks like this does make you go from seventh in the league at tight end up to second, fourth in the league
42:45at wide receiver up to second.
42:48Let me just make sure we have enough running back production. Yeah, and you have enough running back production to survive it. Go for it.
42:56Now, Gunner Steel says, "Made some moves since the last team review. Looking to go after a quarterback. I do feel like I
43:04can still contend." Okay, man. Uh, this is a 14 team superflex league and you're about to trade Barkley for
43:15Lawrence.
43:18You are crushing in this trade. 14 team Superflex league, you need to be putting a massive premium
43:34on those quarterbacks. I'm going to send you over another free trade question, my guy but this is a no-brainer. In a Dynasty
43:45League, Dynasty Superflex 14 team format, you would 100% go for this.
43:53Now, Orvid is trading away Marshon Lloyd and Brian Thomas for Christian Watson.
44:00You don't have that much running back depth. I do think Watson's at a different tier than Lloyd, but I think this is going to be a fair trade and
44:06it's going to be up to you. I think Marshon Lloyd is appropriately valued in my rankings at running back 31, but I
44:13probably do need to go ahead and move him up the overall. So, I'm going to do that right now. But, I think it's a fair
44:20deal. is going to be up to you. You don't have like an insane amount of running back depth, so I'm kind of fine
44:26with you going either direction there.
44:29Well, let me go ahead and move Lloyd up my overall. Karaoke says, "I made this trade. Did I get cooked?"
44:36Jefferson to Hampton, Tutin to Watson, and you got DJ Moore for free. I think it's a fair deal.
44:44Here's the thing, man. It's a actually, yeah, you should have made this deal. I have no idea how your wide receiver
44:50depth was this bad with it being a 10 team, two wide receiver, one flex league. I was gonna say typically the
44:56wide receiver depth in this kind of league just simply doesn't really matter, but yeah, I think that it made a lot of
45:06sense for you to go through and make this trade for your team and spec specifically. You had no depth at all.
45:14Ethan, looks like you didn't fill out this trade question completely. I'll send you over another free trade question to submit. Um, Am
45:22Hoffma says, "Would you recommend targeting a different wide receiver at this price? Just trying to move Lloyd, I mean Lloyd for a lesser receiver."
45:31So, right now, running back after this deal, you'd have Gibbs, Tuton, Cororum, Jonah Coleman, Katon Mitchell. This is a no-brainer. I'm fine if you wanted to
45:40make this deal. I'm fine if you wanted to swap Neighbors and Nico.
45:47Like honestly, you have the running back depth. If you got the free hit of Marshon Lloyd to go ahead and pivot over
45:53to the true stud, whether that's Nico Collins or like Malik Neighbors, I think you go for it.
46:01Okay. And crap, people are saying that it is a SC frozen screen. I apologize, ladies and gentlemen. Let me switch that
46:08back over. That was on the other screen updating my ranking of Marshon Lloyd.
46:13But let's pivot this over and let's look at some more of these teams. Again, we're going to go by the dynasty teams
46:23and we're going to focus in on the reddraft ones.
46:27So, this team's coming out from the Kamish says 12 team PPR second overall pick.
46:36Now, let's look here. This is the second best team in this league. It's a two wide receiver, one flex quarterback. There are plenty of names
46:45out there on the Waverwire, so you don't need to stress about rostering a second guy. You have May. Very similar setup
46:50that I have in the Flock League, right?
46:52Um I am also sitting here with Drake May and my league mates have very quality quarterbacks just left over on the
47:02waiver wire. So, um I am also just sitting here leaving it as is.
47:11Now, running back, we have Bejon Robinson, Javvante Williams, Jordan Mason, and Mike Washington.
47:19So, we have the top end production at running back. Depth underneath isn't the best. looking at the waiverwire names that you would have like Caleb Johnson
47:26does stand out, but the fact of the matter is it's not like you have anybody here that you could realistically cut with confidence.
47:38So, I don't see the appeal in going through and picking up Caleb Johnson or Jonah Coleman.
47:46Like once Ashton Genty is 100% gonna go week one, then maybe you cut Mike Washington for one of those guys. But
47:51you wouldn't do so until then. Wide receiver, you're in a perfect spot for a two wide receiver, one flex league. So
47:57here's the deal, man. Um I don't think you have a god squad by any stretch of the imagination. I think you have a very
48:03good team that is extremely balanced and made for these league settings.
48:09So, with that current setup, I wouldn't look at making any adjustments. I wouldn't look at making any trades.
48:19I think you want to leave this exactly how you have it. I wouldn't even look to make any waiverwire pivots. I don't see
48:24anybody on the waiverwire as better on your team. So, I think you did a great job in your draft. Again, you have one
48:30of the better teams in the league. I wouldn't classify it as like a god squad by any stretch of the imagination. Looks
48:34like your league mates knew what they were doing, but still good team, well balanced. Leave as is. Now, go Cowboys says, "Should I package my receivers for
48:43another running back? This league rewards big receiving bonus plays. Four points for 40 yard catches and five points for a 50-yard touchdown catch.
48:53Also.3 points for receiving and rushing first downs. And then 12 team PPR double flex. Love the content. Been using the rankings as well." Well, I really
49:02appreciate you, my guy. Um, I'll say in terms of the big plays, I personally don't make too many adjustments in my rankings for this. Let
49:13me look up how many um catches over 40 yards did Jamar Chase have last
49:25year. Like, let's just get a realistic sense of how often does this happen.
49:30Jamar Chase had two of them.
49:34How many did JSN have? Again, these are the the best wide receivers in fantasy football, right? We're not looking up um oh, how
49:43many did Jordan Addison get?
49:47So, JSN had eight of them, which would be an extra 32 points, which would be an extra two fantasy points per
49:56game. So, for me, I'm not really making too many adjustments at all for this to be a league in which you get the big
50:02play bonuses. And I would say I'm also not making too many adjustments for this to be a league in which you get the
50:09first downs. They kind of balance each other out to be honest because getting first down bonuses
50:17skews you to wanting to have guys that get volume and the big play
50:27bonuses skew you towards wanting to guy have the guys that can have big plays obviously.
50:34Now, this is a superflex reddraft league where Cam Ward is currently sitting out there on the waiverwire. I'm'll be honest with you, chief. There is a
50:43chance that Cam Ward starting over Aaron Rogers in
50:52your superflex spot for you.
50:56So with that in mind, there is no reason in my mind for us to roster Jaylen Wright, for us to roster Cyrus Allen. I
51:05would 100% cut one of those guys and pick up Cam Ward today.
51:12Okay, moving over to running back, we have Singleton, which for me I would
51:21prefer over Jaylen Wright.
51:24wide receiver Zachariah Branch and tight end we have Terrence Ferguson. So in terms of waiverwire pivots, I really think the main thing that I would do is
51:30I would cut either Jaylen Wright or Cyrus Allen. For me, I'd probably cut Jaylen Wright and I'd pick up Cam Ward.
51:35I do so in RB.
51:38Then after making that pivot, your team has Hen Swift at running back, Jason Waddle at receiver, Kelsey at tight end,
51:47and then the flux of JO Brooks, Jordan Addison. that could potentially be exciting in terms of guys that you'd want to put in the flex.
51:58Um, so I don't think you have enough depth to
52:08make any crazy trades on this team.
52:11I don't think you should be trading for another running back to be honest with you. If Jordan Tyson was healthy and if
52:17Jordan Tyson was a name that you could rely on, then sure, by all means, go out there and send Jameson Williams and
52:24Jonathan Brooks and get the best running back that you can. But there's no way that you can make that trade today as we
52:30sit here and Jordan Tyson's in the injured reserve slot. So, I wouldn't I don't think you can afford any trade with this team if I'm just going to be
52:38honest. Sucks to say. I think really the only adjustment that I'd be making with this squad is I would be cutting G and
52:45Wright and I'd be picking up Cam Ward for free off the waiverwire.
52:50But I really appreciate you and really hope I was able to help you out in some way with this.
52:55I wish I had more, but again deep league where we don't have the deepest of teams. Now Aduit says, "Just drafted to
53:04my $50 league and I feel like it was a great draft. A lot of guys pushed up quarterback and tight end. So, we got
53:09some great value despite being at the turn. Tough match up week one against the second team in the league predictor.
53:16Looking for a hot start in my first league championship in my second year.
53:20So, I'm going to be honest with you, Chief. Um, you crushed your league mates. They didn't know what they were doing compared to you.
53:28Looking at the team that you drafted, like this is the value gap we would expect in a league that has been around
53:36for like eight weeks and we're going into week nine where maybe one team just absolutely smashed on its picks and it
53:42hit on like the next JSN, right? And that's how it got to be so much better than the rest of the league. But for you
53:49to have this much more value than everybody else in your league and the season hasn't even started, what that tells me is your league mates,
53:58they're children. They're dummies. They had no idea what was going on. You crushed them.
54:05You had the 101 where you got Jamir Gibbs in a 12 team league and somehow they let AJ Brown fall to you at pick
54:1424. Malik Neighbors at 25. Travis ETN Higgins at the 45 turn. Christian Watson at the end of the six. You hit on
54:23Marshon Lloyd for free as well.
54:29Incredible.
54:31The things that I would worth that are worth pointing out here is it is a two wide receiver one flex league. So the
54:38depth doesn't matter much. You have Brooks, Mason, Marshon Lloyd, Christian Watson, Ajan Stribbling, Parker Washington all on your bench, right? So
54:46you are absolutely crushing with the depth. So I think it would be very advantageous for you in a two wide receiver, one flex league where you are
54:54this strong. Hell, go out there and see if we can pay up for an elite QB. Can we find a team that's desperate for running
55:01back? This team lost Josh Jacobs and now they have Barkley, Rashad White and that's it. Is there a world in which you
55:07can make a minor trade and you can go get Justin Herbert? I'm sorry, not Justin Herbert, you can go get Drake
55:12May. Like could you send Jordan Mason and Justin Herbert for Drake May? I'd send the offer out and see what they
55:18say. This team has Bucky Bashell Tuna Hubard Tank Bigsby and that's it. They also have Joe Burrow. I would send a
55:26similar type offer here. I'd offer Marshall Lloyd and Justin Herbert and see if you can get Joe Burrow.
55:35If this team is Tony Pard and Jadarian Price, their running backs, two and three, and they have Lamar Jackson, I would go out there and I'd send them
55:44an offer of Herbert and Marshon Lloyd for Lamar or maybe Herbert and Jonathan Brooks for Lamar, whoever they would prefer.
55:53I would spam offers for these teams that have garbage running backs and see if there's any way that we could go through
56:00and upgrade our quarterback position.
56:02The other way we can go about this is what's the cost to get to Brock Bowers because if you have Higgins in your
56:10flex, Watson, Parker Washington, Jonathan Brooks, all these guys down in your bench, um Bowers is very obtainable for you considering you can just back fill with
56:20that depth easily. Like I would love to try to send the combination of like Daltton Concaid and Malik Neighbors for Brock Bowers,
56:29Dalton Concincaid and AJ Brown for Bowers as well.
56:34So your team is so damn strong that you can just afford to go out there and leverage some of the skill positional
56:40depth that you have and see if you can get yourself an elite quarterback. See if you can get yourself an elite tight
56:46ends because damn, you're in a really good spot, my guy.
56:51Now, let's move this over to our next question, which is from AWeay. Says, "What's up, Mason? Glad football is back. So am I, my guy." I mean, I really
56:59wanted to be back to literally today.
57:03Like, I'll be Here's the deal. If y'all are hanging out with me in this live stream right now, you are a ride or die.
57:10If you are in this live stream at 6 PM Central watching me review fantasy football teams,
57:18I trust y'all. Okay. So, for us, the football season starting later this year is really good from a business
57:28perspective because like obviously the big the main way that we make money with Flock Fantasy is selling FlockFantasy.com season passes. It's the
57:39number one way that we make money. And the majority of those sales come before the season starts. Most people start watching fantasy football videos like
57:48August 1st and the peak interest lasts until about weeks four, five, six, and then it slowly starts to decline.
57:56But the season starting later this year gives us a longer window of like those peak sales for the season pass.
58:06But at the same time, like so business-wise, it's very good.
58:11However, like I just freaking like so I was excited when I saw how late the football season was going to start this year
58:20because I was like, "Oo, good. It'll be good for business." Blah, blah, blah.
58:24But now we're to the point where I'm just like, "Let it ride. Freaking start the season. I need some football games
58:32here. I need something to happen. I need some action."
58:37And I mean, I'm sitting here ripping freaking um pack openings on underdog because I'm bored waiting for the season at this point.
58:45Okay, now let's move this over to the team now. Okay, saying I should eventually be able to put Tyson in the
58:54IR. I'm assuming we were able to do that by this point.
58:58Um any trades I should go for specifically with the Mickey Mouse team at the bottom. Appreciate the help in the streams. Best of luck to you in the
59:04flock league. Best of luck to you and your league, my guy. Um, we are the Jaylen Herz team. So, we are the number
59:10one team in this league. And when we are the number one team in this league, we are the number one team. And it is not
59:17even remotely close. Nobody comes close to us.
59:21We somehow someway got Jonathan Taylor, James Cook, Amarian Hampton, and George Pickins on the same team. That should not be possible.
59:31you are playing with people that don't know what they are doing.
59:37Like this is a good thing for you of course because you are just going to stomp these guys.
59:44Now looking at our lineup now we have fine quarterback and tight end production. We have Jaylen Herd's Tucker Craft at QB and tight end. Running back
59:51we have the best running back room in this league according to the league analyzer with Taylor James Cook Hampton Bay Tuton. Jonathan Brooks is our
59:59running back five. So, the very clear thing in my opinion here is to go through see if we can find some of these
60:07Mickey Mouse teams at the bottom that need help at running back. Like this team just lost Josh Jacobs and see is
60:13there any world in which we can snag a Pugnakua or a Nikico Collins off their team. Like this would be the only thing
60:20that you could potentially try to get done, right? Like could you sell Tiggins Anabari and Hampton for Puganua?
60:30If I mean this team just lost Jacobs. I would expect that there's a damn chance I mean an okay chance they do it. Could
60:36you sell Jaylen Wadd and Bay Shel Tutin for Nico Collins?
60:42Like those are the only offers you can send out at this point my guy. Um looking at the options that you have on
60:47the waiverwire, your team's too good to consider swapping anybody. But if you can get a two for one deal where you can leverage
60:54your running back depth and get an upside piece inside the starting lineup, I think it would make a ton of sense.
61:05But I really appreciate you and really hope I was able to help you out in some way here, but the fact of
61:13the matter is you don't need my help.
61:15You're freaking crushing. Now, Tan says, "Tough running backs. I got robbed a few times, but I put myself in those situations. We drafted in the four spot
61:25out of 12. For a second, I thought you were saying you were drafting on um April 12th. I was going to say, "What
61:30the hell?" But you the goat. Thanks for the review. I appreciate you, my guy.
61:33And I'm excited to check this out. Okay, so I hope I we changed our team names because I don't see where we're at right
61:40now. We are the Jaylen Herz team. Let's see. Okay, we are here in the third slot in the league analyzer. I will say
61:49drafting out of the four hole is pretty difficult because obviously you're set up to get boxed out of the running back
61:55position early.
62:00So quarterback we have Jaylen Herz.
62:07Tight end, we have Tucker Craft, Britain Strange.
62:16So, we're fine at QB and we're fine at tight end. Is this the strongest of positions? No. But here's the fact of
62:22the matter. It's a double flex 12 team league. So, the depth is going to matter for you here.
62:30Like our starting lineup, we have Love Toutin.
62:34And then the running back depth beyond this, it's not incredible.
62:40Like we have Jonathan Brooks, Mike Washington, Kaylin Black, Malik Davis.
62:44Like we're not feeling good about running back. If Jeremiah Love doesn't hit, we're kind of screwed. If Bashel Tutin doesn't hit, we're kind of
62:50screwed.
62:52Wide receiver, we have Puganua, Malik Neighbors, Z Flowers, Mai Lemon, Jordan Tyson. Yeah, you don't have enough depth at all to be looking to make any trades
63:01here. We have the top end production of this team. Thank god that Puganua is back at practice. I think instead of
63:07making trades, you most likely should be looking to make waverwire pivots instead. For me, I would drop Malik
63:15Davis and I would pick up Caleb Johnson.
63:19I think Caleb Johnson has a realistic path to be the starting running back for the Green Bay Packers. I think he's
63:25probably really bad himself, but I would also say that I think Marshon Lloyd's pretty bad, too. I would probably drop
63:33Kalin Black for Jonah Coleman.
63:37Wide receiver, I think you're fine.
63:39Tight end, I think you're fine. I would just make those two small waiverwire pivots and then I'd probably call it a
63:44day.
63:47I wish I had more for you, but I that's what I got, my guy.
63:54Okay, but let's go ahead and let's move over to our next question. Next one coming out from a long time member of
64:02the flock with BTO. Always appreciate seeing you my guy. Says, "Hey Mason, we're back, baby. I feel like I had a
64:08draft plan in place to take a tight end and a quarterback in the later rounds, which for these league settings probably
64:14what you wanted to do, but ended up taking Lovelin in the fourth and May in the sixth for the AJ Brown stack. I feel
64:20like I'm in trouble at running back and not sure how I feel about Tutin and RJ Harvey. Okay, let's go ahead and let's
64:27pull up where we stand right now in the league analyzer. We are dead smack in the middle at sixth. And yeah, I mean,
64:33if this is a 12 team format in which there are two flex pots, um the incentives are aligned for you to go
64:40through and for you to punt at quarterback, for you to punt at tight ends, and build around running back and wide receiver depth because you have to
64:52have two flexes.
64:55Okay, looking at the team, running back is undoubtedly our weakest position. Having Bree Hall, Bashel Tutin, RJ Harvey,
65:07Aaron Jones.
65:09Again, I don't think Bree as a running back one is great. I don't think Beel Tutin as a running back two is great. I
65:16would be excited about these guys as our running backs two and three, but for them to be our running backs one and
65:24two, it's pretty tough.
65:27But to get out of this situation, I don't really see a path for you to do so.
65:33Like, you don't have enough depth to go through and trade away one of the wide receivers. Like you can't trade away
65:42Quinton Johnston with Bashel Tuton to get a better running back too because then all of a sudden the guy you throw
65:48in the flux is Mai Lemon.
65:51So the position that you put yourself in is one in which you are highly incentivized to just make sure you go
65:59through and continuously turn the waiver wire with this team and you need to hit on a running back. You need to hit on a
66:05wide receiver coming out of waiverss.
66:08But I really appreciate you and we'll check out the other team. I wish I had a trade for you to make here. And then in
66:14terms of the waiverwire pivots, um I think Brilan Allen, Dylan Samson would be names that I'd rather have over Pacheco and Malik Davis, but I'm fine if
66:22you wanted to leave this as is.
66:26Okay, now let's move this over to our next one. This is Ato Dynasty Team. I'm going to save your Dynasty team for
66:33another stream, my guy. We're going to move past Easy Dubs Dynasty team. We're going to go to Sal Parissi says, "I know
66:40quarterback's kind of weak, but it's a six-point passing touchdown, and there are a bunch I can stream for matchups.
66:46Other than that, are there any trades I should make? Nobody wants Fannon. I picked him up with Warren's week one status. Okay, I'll say real quick, um,
66:54Tyler Warren is going to be a-ok. Okay, good to go. So, we are more money, more problems. Right now, we are near the
67:01bottom of the league standings, my guy.
67:04Um, for this to be a 10 team league and for our first three picks to be Chase Brown, Seiko and Barkley, and Devont
67:11Smith, I think that's fine in a 12 team format. But in a 10 team league, that does seem a little bit thin. Like to be
67:18honest with you, I don't necessarily know if I love what you did there.
67:22But if we go over and we look at where we stand at quarterback, I'm not stressing about you passing on the top end QBs. Like if
67:34you have Matthew Stafford, it's a six-point passing touchdown format. Matthew Stafford was the QB1
67:42in fantasy last year.
67:46So I think you're fine in a six-point passing touchdown format to have Stafford. Ton of streaming options on the waiver wire. I think you did the
67:53right thing in waiting on QB. Running back Chase Brown, Barkley, Jonathan Brooks, Jordan Mason. I mean, definitely it's a fine running back room with a
68:02combination of top end talent and depth.
68:05Here's the deal. Your wide receiver room just lacks a ceiling. You need a hit on somebody that could break fantasy football. So, for me, what I would do is
68:16I would just simply make a pivot with the waiverwire.
68:27I mean, I would want to go ahead and cut Josh Downs, pick up Mai Lemon. I think Lemon gives you a much higher ceiling
68:35between the two wide receivers. And then if nobody's going to trade for Harold Fannon, Harold Fannon's too good to cut.
68:42But the option you could potentially have is, is there a world in which it makes sense for you to trade away
68:50Tyler Warren in a wide receiver for a stud at the top? Like this team has Kelsey at tight ends. Would they be
68:58interested in trading for a better tight end? I mean, you're not going to be able to do this, but a beautiful trade would
69:04have been Jamar Chase and like Devont I mean Devont Smith and Tyler Warren for Jamar Chase. Again, that's not going to
69:12be possible here.
69:15Um, this team is Hampton. Is there a world in which you can try to send them like Jonathan Brooks and Tyler Warren
69:22for Hampton? Probably not either.
69:26But like, let's try to see if there's another team that needs help at tight end that's maybe in a closer range for
69:33us. Like, this team has Jake Ferguson and maybe Rasheed Rice is a little more obtainable.
69:40Like if we could go through and if we could maybe trade away like Tyler Warren as well as Jaylen Wadd and pivot over to
69:48Rasheed Rice and then at the same time you're allowed to just go through and pick up I mean for literally free Mai Limon off
69:58the waiverwire. I think that would make a lot of sense.
70:03So again I like the idea of trading Harold Fannon. I think that would be the priority here if possible. But if
70:11nobody's going to trade you for Harold Fannon, I think your next solution is try to sell the other tight end which
70:18you have, which is Tyler Warren, but I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some way
70:26with this.
70:28Now, let's see. This next reddraft team is Odd Obsson says, "I need to drop two players by the start of the season to
70:36pick up a kicker and a DST, but other than that, would you stick with the receivers I have or would you trade for
70:42a running back to boost my wide receiver room?" Um, or do you feel confident about my wide receiver room? Okay, so here's the deal.
70:50You have the best team in this league.
70:52It is a two wide receiver, one flex format. If you had not made your two cuts yet, I know it seems aggressive,
70:58but I actually probably would cut one of the QBs. I'd probably cut Dak Prescott because I mean, if we're looking at
71:11the quarterbacks on the waiver wire, you have Lawrence Pery, Kyler, Bon Knicks, and I really wouldn't want to cut Casey Conception. I would cut Caleb Johnson
71:20and Dak if we still needed to cut two guys.
71:23Now, in terms of where we would go with trades, you definitely should trade a
71:37running back. I mean, it would be ludicrous for you to go into this season with Bucky Irving, Bashel Tuton both on
71:43your bench with James Cook, Chase Brown, and Marian Hampton, and Travis ETN all in your lineup. But for me, the leverage
71:50point that you would have is, can we get to a better tight ends?
71:54Like, what teams with good tight ends need help at running back?
71:59This team that has Bowers is fine at RB.
72:03This team that has McBride, maybe they want a running back upgrade.
72:10Your team is so much better than everybody else's in this league, you could afford to go out there and overpay a bit. Like, what is the Kelsey
72:18I mean, I would offer Kelsey an ETN for McBride. Most likely, it's getting rejected.
72:27Let me keep that here, though.
72:30Another thing that I would look at is Kelsey. And I know this would be an overpay, but it is what it is. You can
72:37afford doing so. You have so many freaking running backs that it's fine. I would look at Kel trading Amari and Hampton
72:46and Kelsey for Bowers.
72:51If you wanted to try up tiering quarterbacks, you could try going like Caleb and ETN for Josh Allen.
72:59Go Caleb as well as Bay Shel Tutin for Lamar Jackson. And I know the trade calculator is saying that we're losing a
73:05lot of these deals, but if you have one, two, like a Martin Hampton's you're running back three, Travis ETN's your running back four,
73:17Bucky five, Bay Shell Tutin six.
73:25So, with this particular setup, man, like you can afford to lose a deal trading away a running back, but I think
73:31I would be going for an elite onesie position and trying to get ourselves an elite QB or an elite tight end.
73:42But I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some way with this. But again, I don't really
73:47think you need much help. I think you have by far and way the best team in this league.
73:53Okay.
73:56Now, let me go ahead mark this as complete. I think that we can probably pivot over and we can go ahead and start
74:03looking at some trade questions.
74:07Let's do that right now. And we can give away some free trade questions as well.
74:13Um, if y'all want to um potentially get a couple free questions that you can ask through flockfantasy.com, how you would
74:25enter is you would simply drop a like on the live stream and then type the word season pass into the live chat.
74:38You do those two things and you will enter in to win a couple free um start trade questions.
74:49Okay. And don't I'm sorry. I don't know if I said type season pass into the live chat. As y'all can tell, we've been live
74:56for a while. We got a lot going on. I'm a little bit distracted. Don't type season pass into the live chat. I
75:02apologize. Type your flockfantasy.com username.
75:07That is what I would need.
75:09I would need your flockfantasy.com username. That would allow me to know exactly who to send um that free season pass to.
75:24Okay.
75:35Okay, let's start sending these out.
75:37Let's send this one to Phil. Phil, appreciate you. Always hanging out with us, my guy. And yeah, Phil's been with us forever.
75:47Let me see if I can find you on the site.
75:54Philats.
76:01Perfect. Just found you, my guy, and just sent you over a couple of those free questions. Really appreciate you.
76:08Okay, let's send this other one over to Dr.
76:13AV. Is that seven? I was going to say 47.
76:18Dr.
76:20AV7. Perfect. just sent you over a couple of those free starts hitting trade questions. Appreciate you hanging out with us, my guy.
76:29Okay, now this trade here from Delectible is trading away Marshon Lloyd for Godwin. I have them ranked effectively backtoback. You don't need
76:39running backs or wide receivers. Here's the deal. In a league that is this shallow, I don't know if you ever start
76:46Godwin. It's a 10 team two wide receiver one flex format. I would assume you'd be better off keeping Lloyd and hoping that
76:53he hits. I think Godwin has a higher floor. Lloyd has a higher ceiling. And in these league settings, the only thing
76:59I care about is ceiling.
77:02Okay, now we have please verify says this or Christian Watson for Pitts and Addison
77:14Reed tied in needy. So a depth trade actually makes sense for this team. It is a 12 team start aid format.
77:24You have stribbling, Mia, limited depth.
77:26You have plenty of depth on the squad. I think that this is a fair deal and to be honest with you, I would be okay
77:32with the other trade as well. I think either trade is a okay. Um adept matters in this league, but it looks like you
77:39have plenty of it. Now Brian trading away Tuden and Devont Smith for Derrick Henry. This is a two wide receiver, one
77:46flex where you already have Puka, Rice, Rome, Watson. So, you have four startable receivers. So, yeah, in this kind of league, go ahead and get
77:53yourself Derrick Henry.
77:57Okay, Jason says, "I just lost Jacobs. I feel like I'm given a lot to upgrade to Chase Brown."
78:03Here's the deal. It's a 12 team start format, so these names like Dobbins and Marv may actually hit your starting lineup. After you were to make this,
78:11your wide receiver room would have Debo Samuels the wide receiver four. Tank Dell on the IR.
78:19If this was a shallower league, I would 100% go for Chase Brown here and it wouldn't even be remotely close.
78:28But there's a big butt on this one.
78:34This is a F it. I still got to mark Chase Brown as the winning side. And the deal is you may need a down tier from
78:40Brock Bowers.
78:42I think the trade you may need to make after this is you may need to go through and send a Bowowers deal to someone.
78:51Now let's move this to our next question from Joshua says Trevian Henderson Justin Jefferson for Ashen Genty and AJ Brown.
79:01And real quick, let me just make sure that this is working just fine.
79:08And we got to lock in, ladies and gentlemen.
79:13We need to lock in here, okay?
79:21because we are so far behind on questions at the moment and we are about to need to start live
79:32streaming every single day to I mean we're already live streaming drafts every single day but what we are going to need to do now is we are going to
79:40need to live stream every single day the question and answer streams just to make sure we can continue to
79:51play catchup. And also, um, we are struggling with the stream lagging.
79:58My computer looks like it's going to catch on fire.
80:04Okay, Joshua is trading. Come on, load in.
80:13Justin Jefferson, Trevian Hitter for AJ Brown, and Ashton Genty. I have Jefferson on my team, but I'd make this deal in a heartbeat. Yeah, you go get AJ
80:21Brown and Genty. AJ Brown's way closer to Jefferson than Genty is to Travion.
80:27Now Ballsy Poopy trading away Dak Judkins Lamb for Neighbors and Henry.
80:36Let me message the devs that I don't know if it's my computer or the site's lagging. I just want to make sure
80:40everything's fine.
80:46Okay.
80:58All right, this is again Ballsy Poopy going
81:12from Lamb to Neighbors down tier.
81:15Judkins to Henry up tier. Quarterback we have Daniel. Sedak means literally nothing to us. I think this is a fair trade. I think it's going to be up to
81:23you. I would probably rather have the neighbor's side assuming health, but obviously that would be the risk that you're taking now. Honey Mustard trading away Quinton
81:34Johnson, DeAndre Swift for Blake Cororm and Ibuka.
81:38Swift to Ibuka. Give me Igbuka. Quinton Johnson to Blake Cororum. Up to you. Can probably give me Quinton Johnson. I think this is a very fair two for two
81:48swap.
81:50you have enough running back production where I'm fine with you doing it, but I think it's a very fair trade. It's going
81:54to be up to you. Now, Henny is trading away Derrick Henry and Wadd for CMC. A lot of leagues I do not make this deal.
82:01A lot of leagues where depth does matter. This is not one of those though.
82:05This is a 10 team, two wide receiver, one flex league. So, hell yeah. Go get McCaffrey Pond trading away Genty Dobs KD for AJ
82:14Brown Tate Warren.
82:17Genty to AJ Brown. Slight I mean just call it a lateral move depending on if you need a running back or a wide
82:23receiver.
82:26Dos to Tate. Massive upgrade. KD to Tyler Warren upgrade.
82:32So I would say all in all probably worth making the trade.
82:40Now Schulzy is trading away Kairen Brian Thomas for Bree Christian Watson.
82:47Kairen debris lateral move up to you.
82:49Brian Thomas to Christian Watson very easily. Give me Christian Watson.
82:54Psychi is trading away a future first for Bucky and Wandelle. And this truly is an early future first, there is no
83:01way that you could justify it cuz this if this is an early future first in a superflex 12 team league and it turns out to be
83:10like Arch Manning, Manning is going to be worth leaps in bounds more than Bucky Irving and Wel Robinson next year. So
83:18even if you were a contender, you would need to be getting a better piece in return than Bucky and Wandelle.
83:24Now Harrison trading away Swift, Brian Thomas, Jawan for Garrett Wilson and Tyler Warren. Um Swift to Wilson up to you just depending on what position you
83:32need. Brian Thomas and Jawan Johnson and Tyler Warren probably give me Tyler Warren. Uh leftover at running back you're fine. So because you have the
83:40running back depth and maybe wide receivers a little bit more of a need for you on this team. I think we go with
83:44the Garrett Wilson and Tyler Warren side, but it's close.
83:48Now AAS, looks like you didn't put anything in this trade. I'm going to send you over a free trade question so
83:52you can resubmit. Jabon is trading away Higgins and Godwin for George Pickkins.
83:59It's a league where depth matters. Are the depth on the squads fine? Yes.
84:04Here's the deal. Once you hit on Marshall Lloyd, you can do this deal because looking at your running back room. Realistically, you could very
84:10easily put the running backs in the flexes. Upright step, trading away Blake Corm in London for Kairen and Michael Wilson. No way in hell. I think you're
84:18downgrading two spots. You go with the Drake London side. Not close. Um, Chief is trading away Jadarian Price and Jordan Addison for DeAndre Swift. So, if
84:28this was a 10 team, two wide receiver, one flex league, I would say yes, let's go ahead and do this. But with this
84:33being a 12 team double flex, I actually think that Addison is very much startable with these league settings.
84:39And if Addison is startable with these league settings, then yeah, I would just rather go ahead and hold on to Jadarian
84:46Price and Jordan Addison.
84:50Okay, Antonio says, "Don't like Brian Thomas Jr. is my wide receiver too and have running back depth. Really like Tet this year. He has JCM, so I would give
85:01Whites.
85:06Okay.
85:10To two receiver, one flex. Tedoa, in my opinion, is definitely the best player in the deal. You'd have Mike Washington as your running back three after this
85:18though. So, it's not a no-brainer trade for me. I would like to see what we have as an option on the waiverwire.
85:29You can pick up Coleman and like Keenan Allen for free. So, because I really like Ted McMillan, I would probably go
85:37ahead and make this move, but it's definitely not an easy one. I'll say that. It's not an easy one to tell you
85:42to go for. Now, Phil always happy to see us says, "Need team help pick is 16th in a 16-man league. Drafted too many
85:50receivers and we need running backs."
85:52Man, if you had any opportunity to do anything like this, you would in a heartbeat. I'm assuming you won't.
86:00Realistically, I'm assuming you maybe get Jaylen Warren, but I would trade Pitman and Jacobe for Jaylen Warren.
86:06Obviously, I would trade him for Kyan, but like if you could make those deals, let's go for it. But if this is your
86:13team in a 16 team format, you have Chase Brown, Barkley, and Jordan Mason. Man, you're crushing in a 16 team league
86:19there. Alo says, "Don't feel great about my team. Any suggestions?" Uh, my friend, this is a trade question, not a team review. I'll send you over another
86:26free trade question in case you can want to submit a trade when you got one. Um, Prime Jaguars trading away McBride for
86:33Barkley.
86:34I can't see your team, but I would say with the vast majority of instances, yeah, I would rather have a Saquon
86:40Barkley over McBride. pretty comfortably as well.
86:45Vash is going to be trading Bashel Tuton, Marshall Loy, Dvonte Smith for JSN. It's a two receiver, one flex. Not even remotely close. You make the deal
86:53and you run. Not even remotely close.
86:58Okay. How?
87:03I'll be honest with you, Chief. I hate deals that are this big. Herbert to Daniels is a win. A to Taylor's a win.
87:10Devont Smith to a lav is a win and you're paying GMO to get it done. I would make this trade, but
87:17typically I don't see the point in us making these deals in which we are selling everybody on our team for the
87:25entire roster of somebody else.
87:31Now, let me move this over.
87:36Pico says, "Hey, Mason, looking for wide receiver depth. It's a double flex league. Lawrence to burrow upgrade Marshall Lloyd to Godwin. It's whatever.
87:45And then paying Mike Washington. Mike Washington's a literal zero.
87:52So Mike Washington's a zero and this is going to get you from Lawrence to Burrow.
87:58Then yeah, we'll do it.
88:01Now Rosco didn't fill out this trade completely and send you another free trade question, my friend. So you can submit one when you got one.
88:10Now BTO is trading away Tutin.
88:16Ag Brown, Quinton Johnston, and in return here we're getting back
88:30Swift to Swift. Same tier, but I'd rather have Swift.
88:35lad. Definitely a down tier from AJ Brown and Christian Watson an up tier for Quinton Johnson.
88:41Here's the deal. AJ Brown's the best player in this deal and it's not close.
88:44You keep AJ Brown.
88:48Beto's trading RGV Mai Lemon here for Pitman and Raadre. Lemon. Pitman up to you. At this point with everything coming out of New England about Remadre
88:56being the starter, I think you have to say you'd rather have Raadre over RJ Harvey. So yeah, we'll go with Raadre
89:03and Pitman.
89:05Just Easy is trading away Rashid Rice for Lad and Metaf. It's a 10 team, two wide receiver, one flex league where you
89:12have plenty of depth, man. There's no reason for you to make this deal.
89:16These league settings, you effectively just always want to have the player that's the best player in the trade. And the best guy in this trade is Rasheed
89:24Rice. And it's not close.
89:27Now, Lance A lot trading away Jonathan Brooks, Marshall Lloyd, Jawan Johnson for Coulson Lovel.
89:35Left over at running back, you'd have Aan Bree, Tuton, Cororm, so you have plenty of running back production. I'm assuming you got Jonathan Brooks,
89:42Marshon Lloyd, and Jawan Johnson all for pretty much free.
89:48So, if you're able to do so, hell yeah.
89:50Let's go ahead and let's up tier to a asset that's actually worth something with Loveland.
89:56Okay, I think we're all caught up on questions. We got two more here. Um, Insabs trading away. Jordan Mason, Matthew Golden for Parker Washington.
90:05Um, assuming you have enough running back depth. Yeah, go for it.
90:09Pwash definitely the best player in the deal.
90:14William trading away May and Rico Dattle for Josh Allen. I mean, I have Drake May. I would add a minor piece like this
90:21to get the Josh Allen in a heartbeat. I definitely view them as a different tier. So, um, go for Josh Allen
90:29easily.
90:32Okay, let's turn teams back on and let's go over and look at some more team reviews again. Now, again, we are not
90:41going to do the dynasty stuff right now, but we will get to the dynasty stuff in a dynasty live stream.
90:50Okay, this here from Matt says, "Full BBR.
90:56Long draft took five days to complete, but every pick was falling into place for me and your rankings helped so much.
91:02Truly feel I have the best team by far and the championship was made for me."
91:05Well, I'm excited to look at this, my guy. I will say, make sure you link your team with the site. um it's not going to
91:11bother me at all going through and evaluating it this way, but um you just get so many tool I mean so many cool
91:17tools on the site if you have your team linked that it will definitely help you a bunch with like trades, waiverwire,
91:23etc., etc. And it's you already have u a membership to the site, so it doesn't cost you a thing. Now, looking at the
91:31squad, it says it's a 10 team league. I don't know if it's actually a 10 team format because somehow we have James Cook,
91:39Christian McCaffrey heading our running back room. The depth, we also have Jonathan Brooks, Aaron Jones, Chris Rodriguez. So, we have phenomenal production at the top
91:51end at running back and we have acceptable depth at the same time.
91:55Chev's kiss literally beautiful.
91:59Now, going over to quarterback, we have Drake May.
92:03We have no second QB, which I think is completely fine. I would do the exact same thing here. Hell, I am doing the
92:09exact same thing with my team, which again, I have Drake May at quarterback, and I plan on starting him every single
92:15week. I'm not rostering as second.
92:18Now, going over to wide receiver, we have a Flowers, Terry Rome. It's double flex formats, so the depth does matter here. And we have Worthy, Golden, and
92:29Godwin. So, completely fine. If it was a single flex league, I'd want to sell one of the wide receivers. And then we have
92:33Tyler Warren at tight end. Man, I don't know what I could tell you about this team.
92:41I don't know what there could be to do.
92:46Like realistically, this is an incredibly strong roster top to bottom that's extremely well balanced as well.
92:58Like having the start of James Cook and McAffrey just puts you so far ahead of the rest of your league that it's
93:02impossible to really even see how they would catch up.
93:08Like I wish I had more for you here. I I wish I really had something to say, but I think that you're in a phenomenal
93:17situation and I really would not stress about much with the team like this.
93:24I think you're good to go, man. Um, I again, if your team was linked, I could look at waiverwire names for you. If you
93:31were to ever cut somebody, I think Chris Rodriguez would be your first cut, but I can't see exactly who's on the
93:35waiverwire. If Marshall Lloyd's on the waiver wwire, of course, cut Chris Rodriguez for him. But yeah, I think you're in a really good spot, my guy.
93:44Now, let's move this over to our next question. This going to be from Real B.
93:50Says "Wellowship last year thanks to you." So, I appreciate you, Mason. I appreciate you, my friend. Got a pretty stacked dynasty
93:57team, but would still love some input about how to go ahead and make it better. I'm going to save that for a
94:01dynasty stream. I apologize. Wild Gator here. This is a 10 team start nine format. So 10 team league, there should be good names on the waiverwire, but
94:11start nine league does mean depth still matters. Starting lineup here, you're going to have three wide I'm sorry, you're going to have three flex spots
94:19and two wide receiver spots.
94:22So wide receiver depth is important and it is not something that we can ignore just because it's a 10 team league.
94:32So going through and trying to find where our team currently sits. We are here at the six hole. So first things
94:39first, man, I will say I think you have some pretty easy waiverwire pivots to make.
94:45One, if Josh Jacobs is on the waiverwire, crazier things have happened than Jacobs playing in the NFL this season,
94:56especially before we get official word on this Josh Jacobs stuff or especially before anything comes out negative about I mean anything comes out with the
95:04video.
95:06I would say if the cost is literally just picking him up off the waiver wire, I would 100% pick up Josh Jacobs.
95:23The other ads that I think would be very easy to pivot to is even though the wide receiver depth matters here, I don't
95:30necessarily know if Jacobe is in a spot in which you could see him like turn into a league winner for you.
95:45I think I would rather have Jakori Kroski Merritt, see what the backfield split is in Washington this year. While it's likely Jakori Kroski Merritt
95:55doesn't make an impact the same way that it's likely Jacobe Myers doesn't make an impact. If we are talking about the
96:01upside of potentially being able to flip one of these guys, I think you would have a higher ceiling in flipping Jakori
96:09Kroski Merritt in comparison to flipping Jacobe Meyers. So, two waiverwire pivots I'd make right now. I would cut Jacobe Myers. I would cut Hunter Henry. I would
96:18pick up Josh Jacobs. I would pick up Jakori Kroski Merritt. Now, if this was a shallower league where maybe you only
96:24started two wide receivers and one flex, I think you would also be highly incentivized to go through and to actually trade one of the receivers for an
96:42upgrade at quarterback and tight end.
96:44But since you can start like five skill personal guys at like if you can start five receivers weekly or five running
96:55backs weekly, I do like the fact that you are built around those positions. So I wouldn't want to sell any year wide
97:00receivers here.
97:03The simple adjustments I would make, I would cut Myers, I would cut Hunter Henry, I would pick up Cory Cross Merritt. I would pick up Josh Jacobs. I
97:11would also consider cutting Jordan Love for Brock Party now. And lastly, I would honestly cut Isaiah likely for Jawan Johnson. I think you're gonna be
97:22streaming quarterback. I think you're going to be streaming tight end this year. And in terms of a streaming tight end, Jawan Johnson's very appear
97:28appealing for the beginning part of the season whenever, of course, you have no Jordan Tyson. So, just the targets are going to be easier to come by in the New
97:39Orleans Saints offense.
97:41So yeah, I don't think trades are advantageous because again, you can start so many wide receivers in this league. I like the fact that you're
97:47built around wide receiver, but what I would probably do instead is I would make those four waiverwire pivots because I think it gives you a
97:57higher ceiling in the long run, especially with trade value.
98:01Okay, now Brewer says, "Overall thoughts on the team. It is a 12 team single flex.
98:11Obviously tight end I sacrifice, but overall I feel really happy. 300 plus points over second on projections. Yeah.
98:19So in general, you are running away when it comes to value in this league.
98:26It does help that you were able to draft Jamir Gibbs, don't get me wrong, but I mean right now quarterback, tight end, a
98:32little bit shaky. We have Dart and Party, so we can play the matchups with Dart and Party early in the season. I
98:38would guess week one, considering Brock Party is having to go up against the combination of Aaron Donald and Miles Garrett, we're
98:47probably playing Jackson Dart week one if I had to guess.
98:52Going to running back, we have Gibbs RB 1, DeAndre Swift RB2, Jaylen Warden running back three, Jonathan Brooks running back four. So, we have the top
98:59end hammer at running back and at the same time we have plenty of depth underneath. So, running back, I think you're in a really comfortable position.
99:07Wide receiver, you're sitting with neighbors Nico Wilson, Parker Wash. What could you possibly do with this team?
99:16Like if we were to possibly try to come up and make a move, I guess the only thing that would potentially be
99:22interesting here is what would it look like to send Garrett Wilson and a quarterback or Garrett Wilson and a tight end to go get upgrade at a onesie
99:30position.
99:35Like that that would be the pivot.
99:43But we'd have to find a team that's pretty desperate at wide receiver. Like I guess this team has Flowers, Brian Thomas, and Marv.
99:53Like if you were willing to take it one step further since it is a two wide receiver, one flex, I wouldn't mind you
100:00going like Nico and Jake Ferg to get to Brock Bowers if you really wanted or if you wanted to get to McBride.
100:13I don't know if I would go Nico and you're not going to be able to do Garrett Wilson and Ferg. What about an
100:18elite quarterback? Like these are like the only moves you could potentially even consider, right? If you could go Dart and Garrett Wilson for Josh Allen.
100:32I don't Yeah, I wouldn't even do that for Lamar. I think you have a phenomenal team. Obviously, you have the best team
100:36in the league.
100:39I don't think you have like an insane amount of depth where you need to trade for an elite quarterback or you need to
100:44trade for an elite tight end. I think that way maybe is something that you would consider, but it's more of like,
100:50okay, can we get them at a decent cost?
100:52But we're definitely not going to go out there and overpay for one. But yeah, I think you're in a really good situation,
100:57my guy.
101:02Okay, Katherine says Z Flowers injury disclosed just now. We uh we'll move over to this team from practice and let me pull up what the official Flowers
101:12injury is. This Flowers has been he missed practiced at the end of last week and he missed practice today. I was told
101:19it was just a lower body injury.
101:25Okay, let me pull up Z Flowers and see what the exact injury is.
101:40Okay. Uh, yeah, I don't think it's been disclosed. People are just saying it's a lower body injury.
101:53I am not panicking and moving Z Flowers down my rankings right now. I'll say that much.
101:58I am not panicking and moving flowers down.
102:04Okay, now let's move this over to practice.
102:13Says 10 team double flex keeper league kept neighbors and bejon. So I'd expect our team to be goated. Any suggestions for trades or waverwire pickups. Love
102:22the stream buds. Hope all is well. I really appreciate you my guy. And yeah, our team does look freaking insane.
102:28We're the number one team in this league. Of course it helps if you get to keep Bejan Robinson and Malik Neighbors.
102:34It just puts you up in an unfair advantage where you have Bejon Neighbors as your running back one, wide receiver two. James Cooks your running back two,
102:44Lad Mcconi is your wide receiver too. We have Bashel Tutin, Christian Watson in the flex spots. We have Brooks, Cororum, Marshon Lloyd, JO's dribbling, Jordan
102:54Tyson, and Carnell Tate in the flex spots. I'm sorry, on the bench. So, here's the deal. Even though it's a double flex league where wide receiver
103:01depth does matter a bit more um if you have Jameson Williams, Deshawn
103:15Stribbling, Cardinal Tate, Marshall Lloyd, Jonathan Brooks on your bench, you very much can afford to go through and
103:27you can afford to upgrade at quarterback or tight end.
103:31Like, can we find a team that's desperate for running back points? This team has pard RB Baky is their RB1. Pard
103:38is their RB3. Alier is their running back four. They also have Bowers and Lamar.
103:44I would be interested in trading for Lamar. Like, your team can afford it with the amount of assets you have on
103:49the bench. I would go through and I would offer Tudin and Trevor Lawrence for Lamar Jackson. Again, no skin off your back. your team is strong enough to
103:57just easily absorb that running back loss. This team lost Josh Jacobs. They don't necessarily have that top end quarterback or tight end though. This
104:06team has Barkley Price for Madre Kal Manunga. So, a little bit more of a thin running back room. I would go through
104:12and try to send that same deal if possible over for Josh Allen. Obviously much tougher to get it done for Allen in
104:19comparison to Lamar.
104:25This team is Henderson, Aaron Jones, running back three, running back four.
104:28The problem is they don't necessarily have the tight end depth. I mean, if you wanted to go through and try to send
104:33them for like a top tier wide receiver, these guys are just going to be a little bit tougher to touch. But if you wanted
104:38to try to send like neighbors Bay Shell Tutin over to Pukanua, even if you got to throw in like Marshall Lloyd, obviously we would. much
104:46easier said than done.
104:54But yeah, all in all, you have an incredible team. You have by far and away the best team in this league.
105:00Again it helps knowing that you were able to keep Neighbors and Bejon. But at this point,
105:10when you have this many viable names on your bench, I would go through and I would probably look at trying to snag an upgrade at quarterback
105:24or tight end by selling some of the skill depth.
105:28But I really appreciate you and I wish I had more to help you with, but I mean again, your team's goated. Now, this
105:34team from Joe is a dynasty team. This one, Nug Love says, "Definitely need more wide receiver depth, but I did not
105:41like my options as my picks came up. Do you have any trade ideas?" So, team here is the number one team in the league
105:49analyzer, and it's a two receiver, one flex league. Okay, never mind. I was going to say, uh, are we sure we need
105:55wide receiver depth? No, we probably need wide receiver depth. We have four wide receivers on this team, but these are the league settings in which it
106:03makes sense for you to go out there and get yourself the elite tight end with Brock Bowers.
106:11So, we have the elite tight end with Bowers. I think very clearly the easiest call is if you have an injured reserve
106:19slot, Jordan Tyson needs to be picked up from your waiverwire. Now, there's a damn good chance that you're not able to
106:26throw him in the IR, which is why um he is currently sitting out there on the waiverwire for you. But if maybe your
106:34league mates just were able to put him in the injured reserve until yesterday, which is when the New Orleans Saints officially moved him to the IR, I would
106:42take a look into that with your league settings. And if so, cut Jordan Mason, pick up Jordan Tyson, move Tyson to your
106:49IR, and then just pick Jordan Mason back up off the waiver wire. But a very easy pivot to make and I wouldn't want to do
106:58this on a lot of teams with these league settings because again wide receiver depth doesn't matter as much here. But truly you're loaded at running back. You
107:06don't have that great of a wide receiver room. Is if you could just make a simple one for one swap from like Jaylen Warren
107:12over to like Christian Watson, right?
107:15Just these simple running back for wide receiver swaps. A guy that you'd be more excited to throw in the flex. Like let
107:23me go through and look at some of the teams that need help at running back.
107:25This team just lost Josh Jacobs to their running back too is Kenneth Gainwell.
107:30Is there a world in which we can get Rashi Rice from them?
107:34Like how down bad are they truly at running back if Gainwell is their running back too?
107:41I would offer them some combination of like Beel Tutin and DJ Moore for Rashid Rice, which if I was that team and
107:49Kenneth Gainwell as my running back, too, I'd consider.
107:57Another team at the bottom here has Rico Dattle as their running back, too. They have Coulson Lovelin. Actually, no, never mind. We have Bowers. I apologize.
108:04Uh, in terms of like maybe a wide receiver upgrade we can get here, they have Jefferson and Lamb.
108:12If we wanted to throw Jefferson in here and try to make a similar trade, you can try to go like Bashel Tudin and Malik
108:17Neighbors for Justin Jefferson.
108:20Then again, I mean, you are able to open up a roster spot and you just have Jaylen Warren moved to running back two,
108:25Jonathan Brooks running back three, Marshall Lloyd running back four, Jordan Mason running back five. You still have plenty of running back depth after a
108:32move like this.
108:34So that's your leverage point with this team. I actually think you can afford to make a trade here at running back and
108:39get an upgrade at the wide receiver position. And I'd be trying to sell one of our depth running backs to do so.
108:47Okay, now let's move this over to the Leferero team says, "Is my team okay or should I look for trades or a waiverwire
108:57and who should I start?"
109:01So, this is an eight team league. So, I'm going to be honest with you, my guy.
109:05Um, one, you have the best team in this league. And I absolutely love that in an eight team format that running back and
109:11wide receiver is so easy to come by where you have Jaylen Warren currently on the waiver wire that you have the
109:19elite quarterback and you have the elite tight end with the combination of Josh Allen and Brock Bowers.
109:26Beautiful.
109:29So, great team. But the other thing that is important to note is for your eight team league, this is very different than most teams
109:40I'm going to be talking about in any live stream you see.
109:43Every single trade, every single move that you make is about how do I get the best player in return?
109:53How can I send two guys and get one back? How can I send three guys and get one back?
109:59Because when you make those trades, you're able to go to the waiverwire and pick up names such as Jaylen Warren for
110:07free, RJ Harvey for free, Caleb Craft Addison for free.
110:20So, there's nothing you need to do on this team right now, but any chance you get to try to go through and take like
110:28Wadd and Kiran Williams and go out there and trade for maybe the best running back that you can afford. Maybe you go
110:36out there and send this offer for James Cook. And in an eight team league, it is an absolute no-brainer because you can
110:43just go waddle yourself over to the waiverwire and get somebody for literally nothing.
110:49But I really appreciate you and really hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this.
110:57Now, let's refresh this. So, we do have a lot of Dynasty teams that we need to get through, but um it's about to be
111:04seven. What I need to do today is I still need to do the draft live stream on the Flock Fantasy channel. I need to
111:11do the um video for tomorrow on the Flock Fantasy channel. Send that to the editors. And I may try to squeeze in a
111:20Dynasty live stream as well so we can keep knocking out these team reviews.
111:23But I think it may be smart for me to call this live stream here. I will go through and show y'all real quick. I
111:31posted this while we were live. Um so just in case you did not see it already.
111:41Um, I if you just go to the channel, I posted the secret history of the Flock
111:50League where I went through and I did the um I talked about everything that's led up to the Flock League to this
111:57point. If you started watching the Flock League, probably a pretty good video to watch. Or if you've watched for a while,
112:02you can go through, watch, see some of the stuff that happened way back when.
112:06But yeah, I don't really have anything else for y'all. I really appreciate you hanging out with us in this live stream.
112:10I'll be live again tonight with drafts and I will be um live on the Dynasty channel in probably an hour or so, but I
112:18need to walk the dogs. I need to record that video for tomorrow and yeah, blah blah blah. appreciate you and I'll
112:25see you in the live
