Player analysis
Player insights
Alec Pierce
PositiveValue47:07
Despite current injury concerns, the source ranks Alec Pierce as their top wide receiver target. The source argues that the Colts' recent contract commitment suggests the injury is not severe enough to impact his long-term outlook.
Insight pageBreece Hall
NegativeValue29:10
The source reaches for Breece Hall at the 3.04, noting they 'don't love it' despite the draft sheets identifying him as one of the best available picks at that spot. He is considered a primary starting running back for the team's roster heading into week one.
Insight pageBrock Bowers
PositiveProjection27:50
The source selects Brock Bowers at 2.09, acknowledging the pick is 'very awkward' and creates roster weakness at other positions, but justifies it by stating Bowers has the potential to go 'absolutely nuclear'. He is classified as an elite tight end option for their roster.
Insight pageBrock Purdy
PositiveValue54:07
The source argues that Brock Purdy is a strong draft target and suggests he is a better pick than Jackson Dart in both four-point and six-point passing touchdown formats.
Insight pageBucky Irving
NegativeDepth Chart13:00
Bucky Irving was selected at the 4.04 and 4.11 positions in the draft, serving as a depth-chart addition for the source's roster.
Insight pageCaleb Williams
NegativeUsage15:21
Caleb Williams is noted as being on a roster drafting immediately after the source, which influences the availability of other quarterbacks like Dak Prescott.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
NegativeValue13:36
The source advises against drafting Christian McCaffrey at the 1.03 position, labeling the move as illogical. He was subsequently selected with the fifth overall pick in the draft.
Insight pageCourtland Sutton
PositiveUsage15:16
The source selected Courtland Sutton in the draft and identifies him as a key component of a wide receiver room that is considered the best in the league.
Insight pageD'Andre Swift
NegativeBust12:58
The source expresses significant skepticism toward D'Andre Swift, explicitly avoiding him in drafts because they prioritize higher-upside players and are not aiming for lower league placements. They also note backfield uncertainty, acknowledging a non-zero chance that Kyle Monangai could emerge as the preferred option.
Insight pageDak Prescott
PositiveValue15:16
The source considers Dak Prescott very enticing in six-point passing touchdown formats and a viable alternative to Jalen Hurts. The source expects him to be available in the ninth round because teams drafting immediately after them already have quarterbacks, and they express a strong preference for him despite potential roster construction awkwardness if they already have Joe Burrow.
Insight pageDaniel Jones
NegativeInjury49:00
The fantasy outlook for the team's wide receivers is contingent on Daniel Jones returning to form following his torn Achilles; however, the source notes that current reports regarding his recovery are 'pretty damn good'.
Insight pageDavid Montgomery
NegativeProjection13:44
The source identifies David Montgomery as a higher-floor running back compared to TreVeyon Henderson. He is categorized in a tier of four running backs alongside Swift, Henderson, and Judkins, where the source views them as interchangeable based on preference.
Insight pageDe'Von Achane
NegativeProjection14:49
The source indicates that Mason Dodd's rankings have Devon Achane ranked too high and expresses a desire to move him down.
Insight pageDerrick Henry
PositiveProjection14:49
The source believes Mason Dodd's custom rankings have Derrick Henry ranked too low and intends to move him up.
Insight pageGarrett Wilson
George Pickens
PositiveRole17:21
The source considers George Pickens a reliable WR3 option, noting that having him in that role provides roster stability.
Insight pageHarold Fannin
NegativeValue42:06
The source notes that Sleeper ADP currently lists Harold Fannon as the top pick in the draft.
Insight pageJ.K. Dobbins
Ja'Marr Chase
PositiveProjection0:24
The source consistently ranks Ja'Marr Chase as the top overall player on their draft board, selecting him with the fourth overall pick. They describe drafting him at the 1.03 or 1.04 as a 'no-brainer' and explicitly prefer him over running backs like Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, or Chase Brown in full PPR formats.
Insight pageJadarian Price
PositiveSleeper44:42
Jadarian Price is highlighted as an upside running back option who could potentially emerge as a league winner for the team.
Insight pageJalen Hurts
NegativeValue15:21
The source expresses hesitation to draft Jalen Hurts in a six-point passing touchdown league, suggesting Dak Prescott offers comparable scoring potential. Hurts is also noted as being on a roster drafting immediately after the source, influencing the availability of other quarterbacks.
Insight pageJaxon Smith-Njigba
NegativeValue41:51
Jaxon Smith-Njigba was selected with the sixth overall pick in the draft, immediately following the selection of Christian McCaffrey.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
PositiveValue56:30
The source identifies Jaylen Waddle as the second-best available player on their draft board and selects him at the 409 position. He is rostered as one of the team's primary wide receivers.
Insight pageJaylen Warren
NegativeUsage18:35
The source identifies Jaylen Warren as a potential running back target but notes uncertainty regarding his role, specifically mentioning a non-zero chance that Rico Dowdle could compete for touches.
Insight pageJeremiyah Love
NegativeProjection7:03
The source expresses hesitation regarding drafting Jeremiah Love in the first two rounds, citing concerns that he is projected to play in what could be the league's worst offense. They advise against taking players from such an environment early in the draft.
Insight pageJonathan Taylor
NegativeValue13:38
The source advises against drafting Jonathan Taylor at the 1.03 position, labeling the move as illogical and suggesting Ja'Marr Chase is the mandatory pick at that spot.
Insight pageJosh Downs
PositiveValue48:11
The source ranks Josh Downs as the highest available player in the 9th round and considers him a strong value pick, noting that while he is often overdrafted in the 7th round in some 'hardcore sicko' leagues, he makes a ton of sense as a 9th-round selection, especially when paired with Alec Pierce.
Insight pageJustin Herbert
PositiveValue15:09
Justin Herbert was selected at the 8.09; the source notes they would have been excited to draft him in a six-point passing touchdown league.
Insight pageKhalil Shakir
Luther Burden
NegativeInjury12:06
The source has downgraded Luther Burden in their rankings due to a groin injury. They state they cannot justify the risk of drafting him in the fourth round until he is 100% healthy, preferring to rank Rome Odunze ahead of him.
Insight pageMark Andrews
NegativeValue18:16
Mark Andrews is the highest-ranked tight end in the source's rankings, but the source suggests they would likely wait to draft two tight ends later rather than taking Andrews at this point in the draft.
Insight pageNico Collins
PositiveValue6:46
The source views Nico Collins as a high-value target at the end of the second round (2.10), noting he was a first-round pick in previous drafts. They consider him a key piece of a wide receiver room they describe as the best in the league, particularly in double-flex full PPR formats.
Insight pageOronde Gadsden
PositiveBust52:30
The source criticizes the autodraft selection of Oronde Gadsden II in the 10th round of a $500 buy-in league, labeling it a 'brutal' move to take a tight end two that early.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
NegativeValue58:56
Quinshon Judkins is considered a more talented running back than TreVeyon Henderson, but the source prefers Henderson due to team context, noting Judkins plays for the Browns. He is part of a tier of four running backs including Swift, Henderson, and Montgomery that the source views as interchangeable based on preference.
Insight pageRhamondre Stevenson
PositiveValue20:16
The source selects Rhamondre Stevenson at the 7.03 draft position, viewing him as a safe running back option to maintain roster balance.
Insight pageRome Odunze
PositiveProjection37:57
The source ranks Rome Odunze ahead of Luther Burden, citing the latter's injury concerns and questioning if there was ever a significant talent gap between the two players.
Insight pageTerry McLaurin
PositiveValue13:03
The source considers Terry McLaurin one of the best picks on the board, questioning if his ADP has been unfairly 'nuked'. He was drafted at the 4.12 position.
Insight pageTony Pollard
PositiveRole42:44
The source selects Tony Pollard at the 7.04, highlighting his value as the starting running back for the Tennessee Titans. He is viewed as a locked-in starter for their fantasy team alongside Breece Hall.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
PositiveProjection13:42
The source views TreVeyon Henderson as a higher-ceiling running back compared to David Montgomery, who is considered the higher-floor option. Henderson is also noted as a potential backup for the New England Patriots, and the source selects him for his 'upside case' over other running backs in his tier.
Insight pageTrey McBride
PositiveValue28:55
The source identifies Trey McBride as a high-value target, noting that if he had made it to the 3.04, the decision to draft Brock Bowers in the second round would have been considered a mistake.
Insight pageTucker Kraft
NegativeValue42:15
The source points out that Tucker Kraft is ranked highly on their specific draft sheets, contrasting with general ADP trends.
Insight pageWan'Dale Robinson

Episode Transcript
0:00It is a big night. We have $500 on the table that we are going in with for today's stream. Now, this first draft
0:09obviously is going to be a mock draft, but right afterwards, we are going to be getting over to the real money $500
0:15draft. I just want a little bit of practice. I am choosing the 103 to practice from today because honestly, I don't feel super comfortable with this
0:24pick. Like we know we're going to go ahead and take Jamar Chase, but if y'all watched my draft strategy video that
0:30came out today, I mean, we went through and looked at the historical prices of running backs that we have had in
0:36fantasy football over the past like six years. And a big thing is running backs are more expensive now than they've ever
0:44been. So, a big rule that I came away with in that video is it is great if we can. Obviously, it's ideal. Never a
0:55guarantee to get one running back through the first two. Never a guarantee. Just in case y'all didn't see that video
1:03already, um, highly recommend, took a ton of research. We did a mock draft on ESPN, a mockdraft on Sleeper, and a mock
1:12draft on Yahoo as well. But yeah, anyway, we talked about the importance of getting at least one running back in the first two rounds. That way you can
1:20take the better value position in my opinion this year with wide receiver through the middle ones. But if we're at the 103, the tough spot of this is going
1:32to be grabbing Jamar Chase here in my opinion is kind of a no-brainer. I think you kind of have to do it. And then when
1:38we look at the running back tier drop off, a lot of times by the time you're at if you're on the clock at the 210, the
1:47running backs are bad. just call it a spade a spade. Sometimes you'll get lucky. Sometimes you'll have a running back that you like falling to you. We're
1:54going to see if it happens in this draft, but I need to feel comfortable and I need to come up with a solution of
2:00it. How do we figure out how to get a running back on our team that we like at the 103 at the 104? Now, maybe y'all
2:08notice in this draft, I just noticed it myself that shout out to the dev team on flogfantasy.com.
2:14Looks like flogfantasy.com officially has the player images loaded in for this year. So, we get to see how these guys look this year compared to last. Puka
2:24Nikkua looking a little freaky. Jackson Smith and Jigba looking a little calm.
2:29Um, CD Lamb, I like the look, my friend.
2:31I like the cook. James Cooks the same so far. Ashen Genty is the same so far.
2:36Marian Hampton, I I like what you're rocking. Chase Brown is updated as well.
2:42But let's see. Saquon Barkley goes at the 203.
2:48Um, let's let's go. Now, MTX has just an idea, but you can keep Davis and split the Devs and make it a 14 team league.
2:57Here's the thing. Obviously, y'all know getting Jinxy in the Flock League is the biggest thing to ever happen to me. And
3:04I have thought it's a possibility all off seasonason to be honest with y'all.
3:08And like Davis will tell you this. We told Davis from the very beginning of the offseason I said, "Hey, we're not
3:13going to make you audition for the Flock League. You can just have this spot if we can't get Jinxy." Which is why, if
3:19y'all noticed, we waited so damn long to officially announce that he was in the league because I eventually had given up
3:25hope and then the day after we announced him and I was like, "Hey man, yeah, I I think Jinxie is probably not going to
3:30join. I think that's your spot." The day after things went down and Jinxy joined.
3:35though. It's been the way since the beginning that if it wasn't Jinxy, it was Davis. Hate for it to go down this
3:42way. Hate that we made the public announcement. Obviously, just looks absolutely horrible. I'm doing everything that I can personally to make
3:48it up for Davis. And honestly, based on what's going to go down at the draft and how he's going to be involved, I think
3:54if anything, it's going to be a good thing for him because he's going to be Jinxy's champion and doing everything for Jinxy there. Now, my rankings do
4:02have the wide receivers in this range.
4:06I think we're going to freaking take the receiver. I think we go ahead and we take Nico Collins at the 210.
4:13Like, it becomes so awkward because again, running back gets a little shaky.
4:19I don't want to make it through the first two rounds without a running back.
4:23But Jeremiah Love in what projects to be the league's worst offense. It's tough to take anybody that projects to be in
4:31the league's worst offense in the first two rounds. Nico Collins was a round one pick last year in drafts. So, I'm going
4:38to go ahead. I'm going to take Nico here. It is a double flex full PPR format for the Flock League. So, again,
4:45I'm feeling a little more comfortable in a format like this to lean wide receiver heavy, but let's go. Now, Hubert says,
4:53"Is Jinxy in the league officially?"
4:56Yes. Um, I actually was blessed enough to get on a phone call this morning with
5:04Junko himself and Jinxy is officially in the Flock League. So, super exciting stuff. I obviously understand this
5:15importance of this and I'm going to do everything I can. The Flock League is already the most fun thing that I have
5:23in my life to be completely honest with y'all. I mean, it's what I spend all year thinking about from like a content
5:30perspective, from a playing perspective.
5:32It's my favorite thing in the world. So, I want Jinxy to have as much fun with it as I have. And if that ends up
5:40happening, it's going to be just an absolute smash. So, my big focus in on it right now is um because also I mean
5:47I'm sure y'all can tell in the videos that um everybody involved with the Flock League just absolutely loves it.
5:54Like if the people that are in dead last are in dead last, I'm sure they're having a horrible time. But I mean, if
6:01you have a good team and if you're winning games, it's the best thing in the world. Because I mean, I'm sure it's
6:07the same exact thing with y'all in your home leagues, right? If you're in your home leagues with your college buddies, high school buddies, and you have a
6:14great team and you're winning your league consistent, I mean, you're winning your games consistently. You're a top team in the league and you can
6:20just talk trash nonstop. It's the best thing in the world. And then imagine that you're able to do that on the
6:27internet as well with other people watching, right? So, it's great for me whenever I get to go on and like talk
6:34trash to my league mates, talk trash to like Bush and Danny. I get to not only do it in the first place, but to do it
6:41in a video and then have other people watch it and chime in with their opinions. It's literally the best thing in the world. Now,
6:50let's see what we get here at the 410. When we start three wide receivers, we're a little shaky. We're definitely going to
6:58need to go running back running back here at the turn. But, um, obviously, if y'all haven't already, I want to remind
7:05you, please drop a like on this live stream. I will set up the free season pass giveaway right this second. I'm
7:11going to be honest with y'all. I had forgotten to do it before this stream, but let me set up the free season pass
7:17giveaway for y'all. And I will tell y'all how to enter in to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass in just one
7:26second. Luther Burden goes off for the 409. We actually got an update with Burden. It does look like it's a groin
7:32injury for me. I'm going to be reaching past these wide receivers. I'm gonna go ahead and start taking some running backs to the four or five turn. If this
7:39was my team in the Flock League and I go three wide receivers out the rip, which I think selecting here at the three
7:45hole, it is awkward. It's never going to be my plan A strategy to do this to take three receivers in a row, but when we
7:54do, your last chance to get viable running backs are at the four five turn.
7:58So, we will go ahead and take DeAndre Swift here. Baky Irvin goes to the 411.
8:03Terry McLaren off the board at the 412.
8:07And um I want to ask y'all real quick. This is a super telling question and this is something that I need to figure out for
8:14my own team and I need to figure out for my own draft strategy, right? Because I mean again, I put out that video just a
8:20couple hours ago outlining what I believe to be the number one draft strategy in fantasy this year. And ideally, you're getting a running back
8:27in the first two rounds. So if you're a pick three, pick three, you have to take Jamar Chase. Don't get Q with it. Don't
8:34tell me you're taking McAffrey. Don't tell me you're taking Taylor. I don't want to hear it. I'm never going to do
8:38that. I think that's illogical. Um, I'm going to take Trevian Henderson here. I think David McGomery is the higher floor running back. I think Trevian
8:46Henderson's the higher ceiling running back. But what I need to know in the live chat right now is who would y'all
8:53rather have the combination of Jeremiah Love, that's the running back we could have taken instead of Nico Collins, and Terry Mcccluren, which is the wide
9:04receiver we could have taken instead of DeAndre Swift. So, would you rather have Jeremiah Love and Terry McLaren, or would you rather have Nico Collins and
9:11DeAndre Swift? This is something that's incredibly important. I actually don't know the correct answer myself. If chat has something where they're like 75% one
9:19side or another, I'm going to be leaning with y'all. But I will say also while I wait for y'all to send those messages, I
9:26have officially set up the free season pass giveaway for flockfantasy.com. If you wanted to get entered, all you got to do is drop a like on this live stream
9:35and then type the word season pass into the live chat. You'll be entered in to win a free vlogfantasy.com season pass.
9:42If you don't already have a season pass, I highly recommend getting one if you want to win your league this year. Not
9:47only is all my stuff on it, all my custom draft sheets, all my custom draft assistance, all my rankings throughout the entire year, the trade calculator,
9:57my team's page, the whole nine yards, but also pretty much everybody else you watch on YouTube. And you get it all for
10:03literally $34. Not monthly, but 34 bucks for the entire season. And if you use code flock when you sign up, you're also
10:11going to get free start sit and trade questions that you can ask me during the year. And I am live streaming every
10:16single night until Christmas, making sure that I answer your stuff. But the links in the description, comment section, etc. Now, let's see what people
10:25say in the chat. We got Nico and Swift as the first message that I see. We got um Nico and Kirn. So, I'm assuming
10:34you're saying Nico Collins at the end of the second and then Kairen Williams in the third. I wouldn't fault you at all
10:41for taking Kairen Williams over George Pickkins here. Um, Nico Swift, Terry Mcccluren, and Jeremiah Love here. Um, I don't really see many people at all
10:52talking the Jeremiah Love side of it.
10:54So, probably we made the right call in this. Again, it feels so damn awkward in drafts this year with running backs
11:01being so expensive to start your draft off with three wide receivers and then have to take these guys you're not excited about in the following rounds.
11:08But I think this may be the spot to do it. Now, in terms of what we would be doing with this next pick, I think I'm
11:15actually going to go with the best running back available with Jaylen Warren. The reason being is Trevian Henderson realistically could be
11:25the straightup backup running back for the New England Patriots. Wide receiver, if we have George Pickkins as our wide receiver three, we are set. We don't
11:34need to stress about anything, at least not at the wide receiver position in terms of this being a six-point passing touchdown format. I don't really want to
11:42take Jaylen Herz in a six-point passing touchdown league here. So, if I would have gotten Daniels, Drake May, Joe Burrow making it to us, I think that
11:50would have been real consideration there at the end of the sixth, but I'm not taking Herz in a format like this. Dak
11:56Prescott can score just as many points.
11:58And then with Warren, he does have the same uncertainty that we have with Swift. There's a nonzero% chance that Kyle Manungai is the running back you
12:08want over Swift. Now, I think it's most likely DeAndre Swift, but still. Um, Trevon Henderson, again, there's a non-zero percent chance it's Raadre.
12:16Jaylen Warren, it's a nonzero% chance that it is going to be Rico Da, but I can actually take Remadre Stevenson here
12:23at the 703 and just go, okay, well, if it's Henderson, cool. We're set at running back. We're good to go. We are
12:31hammering you at wide receiver and we're going to stay alive at the running back position. But if it's not Trevian Henderson, fine. If it's Raandre
12:38Stevenson, we're going to stay alive.
12:41Okay? We're not going to lose this league because of running back and we're going to try to win it at the wide
12:45receiver spot. So, we will take Raadre here at the 703.
12:54And yeah, I don't know if I love this team, but I specifically chose the 103 for me in this mock draft because I
13:01think my drafts are the most awkward when we have to pick here because typically the wide receivers are the best values that we have at the end of
13:09the second and the beginning of the third and wide receivers look pretty enticing here at the four five turn as well. But there's no way again I'm
13:16taking a running back like McAffrey, Jonathan Taylor, Chase Brown over Jamar Chase in a full PPR format.
13:24But let me move myself over so y'all can see this side of the board. Michael Pitman Jr., we got the updated profile pick. I
13:33like seeing these updated profile picks.
13:35It just gives the draft board a little bit of a different feel than what we've been doing all season. We're going to be
13:39drafting again that $500 draft right after this on Sleeper. We'll see if they have the updated draft picks, I mean draft photos, or if we beat them to it
13:48on flockfantasy.com because I don't think yesterday Sleeper had the updated draft photos when we did our draft. So maybe the devs on
13:59flockfantasy.com beat the devs on Sleeper, which shout out the devs. Shout out Joe the turtle. Get your muscles up.
14:07Flex on them.
14:09Now let's look at this. Dobbins goes at the 801.
14:15Appaloosa says, "I made my rankings on the Fogg site. How do I convert it to a draft sheet so I can point out?" Print
14:21out. So, a couple different things. If y'all didn't know, if you have the season pass on flogfantasy.com, you can actually make your own rankings and
14:28tiers on flogfantasy.com. Just go to the rankings page, click the button at the top that says create rankings, and then you can use it to power all the other
14:36tools on the site, right? Whether you want to power the trade calculator that way, the my team's power grades that way, whatever you want. You can do it
14:42based on your own rankings. Like you can start with my rankings, but say you like hit import Mason Dod's rankings and then
14:49you go Mason's way too low on Derk Henry and he's way too high on Devon Achan. I want to move Devon Han down. I want to
14:55move Derrick Henry up. You can do that, right? And then you can use those rankings in the tools. And then in terms
15:00of the draft sheets, my friend, um, here's what I would assume that you do.
15:04Again, I am a creator on the site, so I don't have the same exact view that you as a user does. Justin Herbert goes to
15:10the 809. I would have been excited to take him in a six-point passing touchdown league. I'm instead going to take Courtland Sutton here. Here's the
15:16deal. I think Dak Prescott in a six-point passing touchdown format is very enticing, but these teams right after us have Jaylen Herds and Caleb
15:24Williams, so there's no way they're taking Dak Prescott, so we can just get him on the way back around in the ninth.
15:29But anyway, so I know how it works for my rankings, right? I pull up the draft sheets on flockfantasy.com. I go ahead
15:35and I put in my custom league settings.
15:37This is what I'm planning for doing with the flock league draft because I'm not going to be on my computer. So, we're
15:41not going to have the real-time draft assistance. I'm going to hit this gear icon that says expert average. Here are the live draft sheets that we have right
15:48now. I'm going to go ahead click Mason Dodd. It's going to sort that to mine.
15:52And then I'm going to go ahead I'm going to hit that download button and it should download to that printable sheet
15:58for us. Now, if I will talk with the devs. I don't know if that's set up for y'all to be able to
16:06do with your own rankings. I will triple check that. I have a meeting with the developers on flogfantasy.com tomorrow morning. And let me just make
16:15sure that um that is live with y'all.
16:19Okay.
16:21Now, Em says, "Does the live draft assistant update automatically based on your league rules or is that something I should set up beforehand?" No, the live
16:30draft assistant should identify exactly what platform you're drafting on, exactly what your league rules are. And if you go to the custom sheets, you
16:38should be looking at the custom sheet for your exact league settings. Now, there's also a settings gear icon there that you can confirm that we pulled the
16:47right information. Maybe if your commissioner set it up in a very weird way. I know there are like loopholes you can set up with scoring that may make it
16:54look like it's a PPR league if it's not.
16:56But there's a settings gear icon where you can double check to make sure that we pulled the right settings and you can
17:01change it if we didn't. But um yeah, the draft assistant should automatically pull that for you. The rankings page won't have the automatic changes based
17:13on your league settings. The rankings page are going to be the regular rankings across vlogfantasy.com across all the creators. But if you go to the
17:20custom sheets section, that's where it's going to have the stuff for your exact league settings.
17:27And you're apprec I mean I appreciate you my guy and yeah, thanks for asking.
17:32CC Nick says going to be embarrassing when some editors are the most athletic members of the league. Okay. So, I will
17:42I'm going to give a little teaser to what the Flock League draft order competition looks like.
17:51I will give you all a teaser and um I'll say this is what we spent our
18:02morning doing. Oh crap. Okay, here we go. We're back on. Um, Charbanet goes, we're going to take a tight end for our
18:10last pick here. We don't have a tight end. Um, if you're using my rankings, we do have Andrews, the highest ranked guy.
18:16I mean, realistically, what we would do if we waited this long on tight end is we'd go ahead and take two of them. And
18:21I probably wouldn't even take Andrews here. I'd probably wait a little bit, but I just want to make sure for this
18:25mock draft for just team purposes. You see every position filled out. But let's go over to the real draft. We can see
18:34what the conclusion is here. Um, okay.
18:37Draft assistants telling me I have a garbage team. It's putting me down at the 10 spot. Um, it's saying that we
18:43have the best wide receiver room in this league, which shouldn't be that big of a surprise. We have Jamar Chase, Nico
18:48picking Sutton, but we have the second to worst running back room. We have the third worst quarterback room, and we have the second worst tight end room.
18:55Now, that's with the expert average rankings. If I change it to my rankings, I do jump up to sixth. and quarterback
19:03jumps up to eighth. Running back jumps up to eighth. Tight end is slightly better than 11th. But obviously the main thing with this team, you can see what
19:09the site's telling us. Wide receivers's incredible. Everything else is crap.
19:14Now, let's swing this over and let's get into the real $500 draft. Okay, I know this is what y'all are here for. And let's freaking go. As
19:26y'all can tell, we have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 spots open for y'all. How this
19:34is going to work, and how it works every single day, is I am going to be filling the league pot with anywhere from $200
19:42to $500.
19:44Tonight's live stream, it's 500 bucks.
19:48The winner of this league is going to win $500.
19:52The 11 people we draft with will have zero dollars as a buyin. This is just a giveaway, a free roll. I appreciate you
20:00all hanging out with me in this live stream. I'm just going to go ahead and send the link of, you know, how do we do
20:07this? Is there a way we can do it without the link? Because I know a bunch of people are complaining about the link. Here's what
20:14I'm going to do. We're going to change it right now. We're going to do the link most nights, but we've had a bunch of
20:20people complaining, so I want this to be a little bit different.
20:24I am going to go ahead and I am just going to post an Instagram story right now.
20:32And the first 11 people to
20:43respond to the Instagram story will get in.
20:48Let's do it that way.
20:52That way I've seen people complain in the chat, "Oh, people have web scrapers, blah, blah, blah." They don't. Okay. I don't know.
21:00If they did, it would be literally the same people joining every single day.
21:03But just for the purpose of chat losing their freaking minds, we'll do it differently today. Um, the Instagram account we're going to be posting it on
21:11is going to be the Mason Dodd Instagram account.
21:17This is it right here. So, I'm just going to post a story of my screen.
21:23Y'all are in the live stream and first 11 people to respond are getting this link.
21:37Okay, you don't even need to follow me on Instagram. You just need to respond to the story. It's a public account.
21:42Um, let's copy this link.
21:50Oh, and apparently I can pull up a QR code. Next time I may just show the QR code on the screen and have the people
21:56um what's it called? The first 11 people to scan the QR code. Okay, Nathan, I got
22:05your DM. I just sent you the link.
22:08Jacob, I got your DM. I just sent you the link.
22:18Devin, I just got your DM. I just sent you the link. Sochi, if you're actually watching this, you can tell me that you
22:27are here. Or if you just responded to my Instagram story for no reason, I'm going to not send it to you. Um,
22:37Jake just got your DM, sent you the link.
22:42Um, Kaden just got your DM, sent you the link.
22:47And y'all got to join this ASAP. not counting to 11. I'm just sending links to people I see. So, if it gets filled
22:54and you got the link, you're cooked. I'm sorry.
22:58Okay.
23:00Dave just got your DM. Sent you the link.
23:07Dawson sent you the link, buddy. And there's no way this hasn't been filled yet. I've sent this to more than five
23:12people. This is filled. Let me refresh.
23:17How have we only had five people join?
23:24Okay.
23:27Okay. Now we are getting more people in here. I'm just spamming links out here.
23:40Two spots open for people to click this.
23:44One's more spot. All right. It is officially filled.
23:49It is filled. Let's go ahead and let's draft, ladies and gentlemen. We're going to set this order. We're going to do it
23:53randomly.
23:55And where are we picking? We get pick four. Thank god we just practiced where we did.
24:01Thank God because again, pick four is almost identical to pick three. The setup that we have at pick four is we're
24:09in a really good spot when it comes to round one getting an elite wide receiver, but we are in an absolute crap
24:16spot when it comes to running backs in the next few rounds.
24:21And I just realized I'm doing this on Safari. I need to switch to Google Chrome if I want to be able to pull up
24:32the draft sheets. So, we're doing that right now.
24:35Okay, perfect. I need the draft sheets as I draft or I am absolutely cooked.
24:39There's no way in hell I'm drafting off the Sleeper ADP. I'm sorry. I can't do it. Um, let me move this over. We have
24:46the Google Chrome version up that does have my draft sheets. Says connection to draft lost. What? Okay, we're back. We are back. All right, draft sheets loaded
24:55up. Um, we have Jamar Chase as our top guy. Let's go ahead and snag him. And it looks like once we updated the photos on
25:04flockfantasy.com, they are not updated on this draft sheet. So, I'll screenshot this, send it to the devs.
25:11Okay, now let's see after we take chase. McCaffrey does go at five. So, JSN off the board
25:22immediately at six.
25:26Okay.
25:29Why Not says, "That was a lot better than the link in the chat. The link in the chat seems impossible. Replying to
25:34IG is better in my opinion. I didn't get in, but thank you, Mason." So, here's the deal. No matter what we do to fill
25:40these leagues, people are going to complain. So, people are complaining no matter what. I'm probably just going to switch it up every single night.
25:48Tomorrow night, maybe it's Twitter. The day after, maybe it's Discord. The day after, maybe it's the link in the chat.
25:54Regardless, the people that are in the live stream will be the ones that figure out how we're actually doing it. And we
25:59will try to switch it up every night so it's fair and everybody has a chance cuz I don't want to again just hear chat
26:07complain nonf freaking stop.
26:10>> Okay, people are saying mute the sleeper noise. I am sorry. I didn't even know the sleeper noise was on. That thing is
26:16muted. Okay, so let me pull this back around.
26:23And god dang, how loud was that noise for everybody to spam that? I couldn't hear it at all.
26:30All right, after we take Chase at four, we may actually have a shot at running back in round two. We didn't have a
26:39chance at running back in round two in the last one. That's why if y'all went and looked at my best draft slot tier
26:45rankings video, I actually had picks five and four as a better pick than pick three because here we do have a chance
26:51to get a running back in the second round. Now, it's not a guarantee, especially as y'all have my draft sheets, or at least a lot of people
26:57we're drafting with right now.
26:59Definitely not a guarantee as um I don't know.
27:10I'm literally saying out loud on this stream that I want a running back in the second round, which probably doesn't help,
27:19but we at least have a chance. And now that Kenneth Walker's off the board at the 205, it maybe looks a little bit
27:26less likely. Drake London goes to the 206. Dererick Henry goes to the 207. So sadly, we no longer have access.
27:37Okay.
27:39Now, um Braden, I appreciate you. I got that taken care of. We are now on the clock.
27:50We will take Brock Bowers at the 209.
27:55Okay.
27:58So, taking Bowers here in this second is a very very awkward selection.
28:09very awkward to say the least because now what we do effectively is kind of box ourselves out of taking an elite quarterback because we're going to
28:19be behind it either running back or wide receiver.
28:26But let's do it.
28:31Okay. Jeremiah Love 210 Breezy says, "I agree with switching it up every time. makes it harder for the same people to join twice. We'll switch
28:41it up. I'm not going to switch it up every time because we're not that creative. We don't have all the options
28:46in the world, but we're going for it now. Malik Neighbors at the 301.
28:55If McBride makes it to the 304, I'll say that our decision there to take Baris was probably horrible.
29:02Kairen Williams 302.
29:09So my draft sheets have it as McBride as the best pick and then Bree Hall as the next best. Josh Allen goes. So I'm going
29:17to go ahead and we are going to reach on Bree Hall at the 304.
29:22I don't love it though to be honest.
29:27Okay, now let me see.
29:36I see Kevin saying, "Delete my Instagram story." You can see my mail. I believe I already deleted my Instagram story, but
29:44you can correct me if I'm wrong, my friend.
29:49Okay, now we have McBride off at the 306.
30:08I'm not the best with Instagram. I'll be honest with y'all.
30:16Crystal L off at the 308.
30:19for us in terms of like our decision to taking Bowers there in the second. I would say that I hate it.
30:31And when we get McBride as an option in the third, but like here's the deal.
30:38Is Jeremiah Love and McBride much better than Brock Bower's Bree Hall?
30:48Please let me know what y'all think.
30:49Spam the chat. What would you rather have? Would you rather have Bowers and Bree or would you rather have a McBride and Hall?
31:00Sorry. Yeah. Bowers and Bree or McBride and Love? Bowers and Bree or McBride and Love?
31:08Okay.
31:13We got Bowers and Bree. Bowers and Bree.
31:16Bowers.
31:19and Breeze. Bowowers and Breeze. McBride and Love.
31:25Bowers. Bowers. Bowers.
31:28Bowers.
31:31Bowers. Bowers. Bowers. Bowers. Bowers.
31:34So, looks like most people are on the Bowers.
31:37Okay.
31:43now.
31:49Okay.
31:52Flowers at the 401. Pretty low for flowers to be honest.
32:00Okay.
32:09Oh, people are saying I posted I have mail on my desk. Oh, that's what people are saying. I was like, I thought I
32:14posted a picture of my screen, but I appreciate it, guys.
32:20Okay, now Garrett Wilson off at the 403.
32:30I have a toe to toll bill on my desk right now.
32:41Garrett Wilson 403, Buck Irving 404.
32:53We got the fan number two in the chat right now. Happy to have you, my guy.
32:58Happy to have you. DMD says, "Let's do a 12 team half PPR double flex, please." I mean, there you just want to slightly
33:07move up the running backs and quarterbacks and slightly move down the wide receivers and tight ends. But obviously, we have draft sheets for
33:13those league settings. But for me, in terms of what I'm going to be doing on this live stream, the number one
33:18priority for me, and it's not that close, is preparing for my own draft.
33:23And with my own draft, um, it's these league settings. It's full PBR, six-point passing touchdown, double flex bots, right? And the Flock League
33:33literally has a $100,000 to first place this year. If um I cloud my judgment by hopping into other drafts, it's probably not a good
33:43financial move. So right now, if you're looking at our draft sheets, Coulson Lovelin's the top pick according to my stuff. And then Jaylen Wadd's the second
33:51best. Once we already have Bowers, we're not taking another tight end. So we're going to go ahead and we are going to
33:56take Jaylen Waddle at the 409.
34:01Okay.
34:04Now, again, I mean, a wide receiver looks very good. A running back looks very weak, but when you take Bowowers, you're
34:14almost guaranteeing yourself that you're going to be weak at running back or receiver, right? There's no team in which you take Bowowers and you're like,
34:23I love my receiver room or I love my running back room because you effectively lost a second round pick.
34:29The only way it works out is if Bowowers goes absolutely nuclear, which as you can tell, I draft him here in the
34:35second, so I think he has a chance to do.
34:39Okay.
34:42Now, Drew says, "Did we get Jinxy news?"
34:44Um, yeah. I don't I mean, I said it yesterday, but um Jinx is officially in the Flock League. Super excited for it. It's going
34:53to be a ton of fun, and it's literally made for somebody like Jinxy. I think it's going to be incredible.
35:02Okay, DJ Moore off at the 412. DJ Moore wasn't my pick here. I am fine seeing him go.
35:12Basel Tutin goes to the 501.
35:16I wonder if Terry McLaren recently got nuked in the ADP or if it was with the stuff on dig stuff because right now I
35:23technically have Terry up there as one of the best picks on the board, but when we have Chason Wadd I think I'm going to
35:30default to running back as like one of our last opportunities to get a running back in this range. There's like a tier
35:36of four guys with Trevian Swift, McGomery, and Quinn Sean Judkins. I think you can make an argument to take any one of these running backs in any
35:44order. I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna take Trevian Henderson for the upside case. Again, very scary. But I'm not trying to get third place in this league
35:54by taking DeAndre Swift. I'm not trying to get fifth place in this league. This league's $500 to first place and zero
36:01dollars to second place. So, I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to take the guy that I think has the upside.
36:08Judkins is probably a better and more talented running back. But the difficulty with Judkins versus Trevian Henderson is Judkins plays on the Browns
36:18and Trevon Henderson plays on the New England Patriots.
36:23Um, now we have DeAndre Swift off the board. Um, David McGomery goes to the 507. Again, not a super big surprise,
36:31right? Like we said before we were even on the clock, we have Herson, Judkins, Swift, McGomery, all in that same tier,
36:38right? And it's kind of pick your poison, whoever you want between the group.
36:43Now, Terry McLaren at the 508. And I'm sorry that we are hiding the draft assistant here behind my head. It's what
36:51I am using for every draft that I do on my computer. Obviously, for the Flockley draft that we are doing in person, I'm
36:57not going to be using the live draft assistant like I do for these that I'm going to be printing out my draft sheets
37:02and I'm going to be taking a printed sheet there instead.
37:08But, um, when I'm on my computer, it's just better to use the live draft assistance because it automatically updates. I don't have to cross off the names,
37:16right? I don't have to fill in my team.
37:18It just automatically does it for me.
37:20And I don't want to be showing it on the screen because it really just tells exactly who I'm looking at. And Sleeper
37:29ADP is very, very, very bad. So if Sleeper ADP is very bad, um, and the people I'm drafting with, they're looking at that as their main
37:39resource and not like an actual set of draft sheets or an actual set of rankings, then we're in a pretty good
37:45spot and we have a pretty big advantage.
37:47And I want to make sure that we lock in that advantage.
37:52Okay, let me swing this over. Tyler Bordon goes to the 512.
37:57Roman Dunay at the 601. This is another draft in which Luther Burton goes in the middle of the fourth. I moved Luther
38:05Burden down my rankings to the point where y'all can tell me that I am crazy.
38:11Y'all can say that this is stupid for me to do, but I personally have I have Roma Dunce ahead of Luther Burden
38:27in my rankings right now. Until Burdton's back 100% from this groin injury, I don't know if I can justify taking the
38:36risk of Luther Burton over Rome when I don't know if there was a massive gap in the two players to begin with.
38:45So for me, what that effectively means is it means yeah, I'm not going to be drafting Luther Bird in the fourth round
38:52if this is where he goes.
38:56Okay.
39:00Now, um, M4 says, "Who did Jinxy replace?" Well, we had a very long conversation about booting fan number two, right? I
39:11mean, that was obviously everybody's first thought. Everybody in the comments section, everybody in our league, our chat was blowing up saying, "Thank God
39:20this is how we get rid of Zufa. We've been looking for any excuse imaginable to get rid of this dude.
39:28But somehow he weasled himself out of it. Somehow he pulled the old, "Hey, I auditioned for this league.
39:38I won that competition publicly." Blah, blah, blah. I submitted multiple clips.
39:43I went through the interview process, yada yada yada. We tried to squish him like a little bug. We tried to boot him
39:48out and give the comment section what they wanted, but he had some pretty valid arguments.
39:53And I did tell Davis before he got into the league that there was a 1% chance that Jinxy wanted in. And if Jinxy
40:02wanted that spot, it was his and Davis was the backup.
40:06That's why we waited so long to announce Davis. And of course, it happens the day after we announced that he's in the league
40:16because we gave up hope on getting Jinxy. But Davis is the best guy imaginable. So Davis went, "I completely understand. You said this was going to
40:25possibly happen all along." And he rolled with it. So Davis is the absolute best. I owe him all the thanks in the
40:32world. Of course, you know, I feel like the biggest um the biggest a-hole imaginable, but it's too good to pass up on. Now, we are
40:43going to take Jerian Prize here at the 609. Salty Springs says, "Mason, what if we kick you for Jinxy?" That is a good
40:50question, right? That is a good good question.
40:56I thought about that one as well, but I decided, you know what?
41:00It's impossible to kick the person who has dominated the league for two years straight that has the most wins in league history,
41:10right? Because if you kick that person, then all of a sudden the level of competition goes down dramatically and it becomes a Mickey Mouse league to be
41:17honest. So, we couldn't do it. Now, getting Chadarian Price here at the 609 when we have a shaky running back room
41:24to say the least is an absolute dream.
41:27Like, this is exactly what we want. This is literally perfect.
41:33Zora says, "Mason, why did you not expand to 14 teams?" So, couple different reasons not expanding to 14 teams. One, the amount of people that
41:42play in 12 team formats to 14 team leagues, it's like 20x the amount of people playing 20 12 team leagues. Two,
41:49we are already introducing so many new people to the league this year like Rome, Zufa, Jinxy, they are all new that
41:59if we were to then introduce another new fan and Davis as well, half the league would be people that was that weren't in
42:06it last year. And obviously we want to have as much carryover year-toear as possible. Now, Sleeper ADP has Harold Fannon as the top pick. However, if you
42:15are using our draft sheets, um you can actually see that Tucker Craft is up there instead. So, we're going to take
42:22Actually, I'm I'm an idiot. We have Brock Bowers. We can't take a tight end.
42:26Let me lock the hell in here. I'm straight up embarrassing myself at this point. Let's remove the tight end from the draft sheets. And now at this point,
42:34our best options are Pard, Harvey, Metcap, Quinton Johnston, and f it.
42:39Let's go ahead and let's run another running back here.
42:43Um, let's go ahead and let's take Tony Pard at the 704 and get the starting running back for the Tennessee Titans.
42:50Okay.
42:53now.
42:58Um, yeah. Again, obviously it's a tough decision and um I'm going to do everything that I can for Davis. I appreciate the hell out of
43:09him and again I owe him the biggest thank you in the world.
43:14Um, so what we're going to try to do is we're going to try to fe because everything that we do during draft week
43:19because the everybody flies into Austin in two days and if you can believe it, the biggest live streamer on Twitch can't drop everything and fly in and hop
43:30on a flight two day. I mean 48 hours later. So Jinx is most likely going to be remote as well as we are most likely going to
43:40have Avery remote for the draft order competition and we are going to be having um
43:49Davis handle everything for Jinxy in person. So like in the draft order competition Davis is going to be the one competing for him. So hopefully Davis
43:58like gets shown on the largest live stream on the planet, right? And um so hopefully that helps make up for it. And also um
44:08Davis is going to be the guy calling him in from the war room, putting the stickers on the board for him on the um
44:14everything. So if anything, it's probably a net positive. Again, I'm going to try to do everything I can to make sure we get Davis in front of as
44:22many people as possible um because I owe him big time. big time because he didn't have to be nearly as cool or nearly as understanding with it
44:30as po as as he was.
44:34But it is what it is. Kane says, "What app is the draft going to be on?" We are going to be playing on Yahoo Fantasy
44:42this year for the Flock League. That's what we decided. Don't know if I should have publicly said that out loud, but as
44:49long as you don't share it, uh, we should be good. As long as that doesn't leave this live stream here now,
45:00let me pull this around. Once we take Pard as our fourth running back, it's like, okay, well, we have Bree and
45:06probably Pard that we're starting week one if we really think about it. And then like Trevian and Jadarian Price as the upside shots. Hopefully one of these
45:15guys turns into a league winner, which I think they can be. We have the elite tight end with Bowers. We have Jamar and
45:20Wadd. But if you remember based on our draft rules video, we need another wide receiver in the eighth round because wide receivers is about to fall off. And
45:28at this point, we only have two of them.
45:30So, we are going to be snagging a wide receiver in the eighth, but we will see. We will see.
45:40Now, Salty says, "Mason, we're going to start calling you fan number three."
45:45Hey, I'll take it.
45:50Now, hybrid says, "Will the draft be live streamed?" I don't believe so. If it would be live streamed, it would be if
46:00Jinxy was live during that time, but based on my call with him this morning.
46:03I think we are under the same understanding that he is not going to live stream it. If he has to, if he has to be live during that
46:12point, I'm not going to tell him no. But I think we're under the we are mutual in that it's not going to be live streams.
46:23We are going to have the dedicated video for it.
46:28Okay. Why not says what you guys are moving to Yahoo? Why the change I play on Yahoo the most? Yahoo is going to be
46:34the easiest for us to work with and Yahoo is the first fantasy league I ever played on.
46:41So, u I absolutely love the UI. I think during this season, like just managing your team, it's probably the best UI.
46:52Like the draft board in the draft video, to be honest with y'all, I think our draft board on flockfantasy.com looks slightly better. So, I think we'll have
46:59the draft board on um that flock league video being flockfantasy.com. But then for all of our inseason stuff, I like the Yahoo platform. So, I think that's
47:07what we're going to go with. So, Alec Pierce obviously not practicing at this point. Um, if you're looking at my draft
47:13sheets, I do have Alec Pierce as that top name. We are really going to hope that he's back at practice soon, but
47:19based on the contract the Indianapolis Colts gave him this off seasonason, I have to believe that they know what they are doing.
47:27I have to believe that this wouldn't be some just random deal they throw his direction
47:38for no apparent re like if the injury was this big of a deal there's no way he gets that contract at least in my
47:44opinion unless the Indianapolis Colts are completely incompetent so we need a wide receiver wide receivers's the pick here in the eighth no matter what we're
47:53going to take him we do have an IR slot in this league though so if we needed to slide him over to the IR. It wouldn't be
47:58the end of the world. And I Lucas says, "Does Jinxy know he can't draft Bowler?"
48:07What I am hoping for here's here's my favorite thing about having Jinxy in the league? Do you know how long I've wanted
48:14to triple draft this guy in Clash?
48:19We all We all know that I'm going to steamroll him in the fantasy football draft. That's a given.
48:26Now, a mega draft on Clash or a triple draft. That's where things may get a little interesting. Maybe he has a
48:32chance there.
48:36Now, Wandell Robinson off at the 902.
48:39Khalil Shakir goes 903. My rankings have Josh DS is the highest ranked player.
48:45And we need another wide receiver. I'm completely fine ripping Josh DS here.
48:50Again, in some like hardcore sicko leagues, Josh DS, in my opinion, is way overdrafted. Like I just saw Davis do a
48:58thousand draft and he took Josh DS in the seventh round, which I'm going to be honest, I told him there, I'll tell you
49:04here, I thought that was insane. But DS in the ninth, especially when we go Pierce, I think it does make a ton of
49:11sense here. What would would need to happen for this team is Daniel Jones be okay coming off the Torch Achilles and
49:18the Indianapolis Colts to be able to effectively throw the ball. Now, if that doesn't happen and the Colts turn into the Cleveland Browns, gh this may be a
49:26little rough, but as of now, the reports with Daniel Jones and the Achilles are pretty damn good. Now, Salty says, "If
49:33Jinxy finishes higher than you in the league standings, there's got to be a punishment." Hey, I was watching Jinxie stream today and
49:41he asked who is Luther Burden and then he pulled up Luther Burden highlights on YouTube.
49:51There is a 0% chance that dude beats me.
49:58Lock it at a 0.0.
50:04There is no way I am losing to somebody who doesn't know who Luther Burden is and has to go to you for his analysis
50:13goes to YouTube and pulls up the Luther Burden highlights. I'm steamrolling them, plain and simple. Right now,
50:28Dak Prescott off of the nine 910. Now, I will say six-point passing touchdown format. I really do like Dak. It does
50:36feel a little weird to take him on a Joe Burrow team, but again, not my roster.
50:40Not going to talk down on it. As y'all can tell, and we talked about this in that video that came out previously.
50:46Please, if you have not watched it yet, it's really short. It's really simple. I do a mock draft on Sleeper. I do a mock
50:52draft on um ESPN. I do a mock draft on Yahoo for you um to go through and I do a mock draft from uh the beginning draft
51:01slot, the middle draft slot, the end draft slot, and talk about my draft strategy for this year. We just uploaded it four hours ago. Make sure you check
51:07it out if you haven't already.
51:10But anyway, with that, um, I talk about essentially if you take an
51:20elite tight end or if you take an elite quarterback, you probably have to go late with the other position because again, you are going to be behind at the
51:29skill positions. When I take Bowers in the second, all of a sudden, I am defaulting to, okay, I'm either going to
51:36be weak at running back or wide receiver. my flex spots aren't going to be the best because I just spent the
51:41second round pick not on a receiver, not on a running back, but on my tight end slot instead. So, when that happens, I
51:48really need to prioritize building out running back and wide receiver, which is going to lead to us taking quarterbacks later, even in a six-point passing
51:55touchdown format.
51:58What Knob says, "That was a great video." Appreciate that, my friend. And uh please, if y'all have not done so already, go down, drop a like on this
52:09stream. And if you wanted to enter in to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass, all you got to do with that is type the
52:17word season pass into the live chat and drop a like on the stream and then we're going to be giving away one of those at
52:24the very end of this.
52:28Okay.
52:30Now Aronda Gadston goes off the board at the 1006 and it looks like this person just autodrafted Aronda Gadston in a
52:38$500 draft. Rest in peace, Brocho. Oh my gosh.
52:46Autod drafting a tight end two in the 10th round when there's $500 for up for grabs is absolutely brutal.
52:57Conception here at the 1007.
53:02So, Sleeper ADP has Jackson Dart as the best pick. Now, I am rocking the Malik Neighbors jersey here. If you are
53:10looking at my rankings, I have KD. I have a couple tight ends. I do want to look at the quarterbacks that are
53:16available. I think we probably go QBQB here. I'm gonna be honest, I like Dart more in a four-point pass passing touchdown format as opposed to a
53:24six-point passing touchdown league. But I think we can take Dart at the 1009 and then I think we can take another
53:31quarterback here in the 11th and we could play the matchups between the two of them. [snorts] So, let's go Dart here
53:38in the 10th. Um, this is probably again what I would do in the Flock League.
53:42Now, if I get Burrow, Allen, Lamar, Daniels, Caleb, Drake May, it doesn't matter that it's a six-point passing touchdown league. I'm only taking one,
53:50but if I wait until the 10th round to grab my first quarterback, there's a good shot with it being a six-point
53:55passing touchdown league and quarterback scoring being more important, I'll probably go ahead and take two of them.
54:00And again, I feel pretty damn good about where we stand at running back. We have Breeall RB1, Trevian on RB2, Jerian
54:08Price running back three, Pard running back four. So, like we have the upside guys with Trevon and Price, we have the
54:14volume guys with Bree and Pard. Now, they're in crap offenses, I'll admit it.
54:18Um, and then wide receiver we have Jamar Chase, Jaylen Waddle, Alec Pierce, Josh DS, and we have the elite tight end with
54:24Bower. So, I think at wide receiver, we're good. At running back, we're fine.
54:28Tight end, we're elite, and we need to just make sure at quarterback, we're going to be fine as well. Now, I really
54:33wanted Brock Party to make it back to us in the 11th. I think there's a damn good argument for you to
54:42go ahead and take Brock Pery ahead of Dart in a six-point passing touchdown league and a four-point passing touchdown format. I
54:52would prefer Dart over Party, but here maybe it's a little bit different. But obviously Dart relies more on rushing upside than what you have with Brock
55:01Perie. Now this may be something I don't need to do. And I will say KD's my highest ranked player, but when we have
55:06Bowers, I'm just simply not taking another quarterback. Let me look at my highest ranked running backs, their handcuffs. My highest ranked wide
55:13receivers. I guess there is a wide receiver that we can look at. I was actually going to be taking Matthew Stafford as our second quarterback.
55:20Six-point passing touchdown league.
55:22Stafford is a crusher. Four-point passing touchdown league. It's a little tough because he doesn't run, but I am going to be pivoting over and we're
55:29going to be taking our highest ranked wide receiver with Matthew Golden. Once Matthew Stafford and Brock Party both go, I do think we see a teardrop at the
55:37quarterback position where the rest of the guys are going to be very similar to Waverwire name. So, while yes, our initial plan was to go QBQB, once we
55:46have Stafford and Pertie both off, I'm not taking a second one there over Matthew Golden. I just didn't expect the Josh Allen team to take a second
55:54quarterback at all.
55:56Okay, now let me move this over.
56:09Junior says, "Mason, are you going to use Sleeper every night for these drafts? Do Yahoo tomorrow?" Yeah, we definitely are going to switch it up.
56:14We're going to do some Yahoo drafts.
56:15We're going to be doing some QB draft, I'm sorry, some ESPN drafts. Um, but it's just been easy to do it on
56:33Sleeper because that's what Sammy, who's been setting up the leagues, has been doing and I haven't told them to change it yet. So, I will try to remember
56:40tomorrow to tell him to change it to another platform. But, I'll try to again every single night we're going to be
56:46doing these leagues where I put in money into the league pot. You don't have to pay anything. You just go ahead and
56:51click the link and you're in. Um, now how we get that link to you, maybe we try changing that up because people are
56:57complaining when I send it in the live chat and it fills immediately. Um, we're still going to be doing that a ton.
57:02That's going to be our most common way of doing it. We'll mix it up. We're going to post like today we did it on
57:08Instagram. Some people hated it, some people liked it. I think it depends on who has Instagram or not. Some of them
57:14we'll probably do on Twitter where maybe I just straight up tweet out the link which would be crazy. Um, but I will show y'all the Instagram
57:23accounts if y'all had any interest. Um, this is the Flock League Instagram.
57:27We're actually probably not going to be doing it there. Um, we will do it on the Mason Dodd Instagram and the Flock
57:35Fantasy Instagram. So, here's the Mason Dod one and here is the Flock Fantasy one. And then I'll show you all the Twitters. And
57:44then there's a here's the Flock Fantasy one. It's just flock fantasy. Um I'll show you all the Twitters that we'll be
57:52doing it from. Again, I don't think we would ever do this from the Flock League stuff. It's just not a Flock League
57:57thing. Um but here is the Twitter. Maybe we do Twitter
58:08tomorrow because with Twitter, I don't even have to DM you. I can just tweet out the link. I wonder if I can post the
58:13link on my story. Do I think I can just post the link on my story?
58:18And here's the flock fantasy Twitter.
58:23Bam.
58:24And then I don't imagine us doing it any other way. Like I'm sure maybe you can post a Tik Tok story, but I wouldn't
58:32know how, so I'm not going to bother.
58:34So Travis Hunter off of the 1201.
58:44Brandon Aubrey goes 1202. We have started to see the kickers get drafted in the 12th round. That's been the most common place for the kickers to go
58:54specifically.
58:56Okay.
59:02Now, I think this Houston Texans defense selection was an autopic from this team at seven. I could be wrong, but I think
59:12that's the case.
59:19MV says, "Hey, Mason, season pass question. Last year when I bought the season pass, it worked for dynasty rankings and for dynasty trades with the
59:25calculator. Will it still be like that this year about to buy it?" No. No, it will not have dynasty stuff this year.
59:31So, the reason we decided not to include the dynasty stuff with the season pass is the season pass, we didn't launch it
59:39until like right before the season last year, and we really didn't have things flushed out fully. But with the season pass this year, we launched it on like
59:49June 1st.
59:52So, we wanted to make sure that Mother Flocker was still the way that people got access to the Dynasty stuff year
59:58round. And those people that got Mother Flocker in like May weren't going to be like, "Why the hell did I just pay for
60:05the Mother Flocker when I could have waited a week and got the season pass and got all the same stuff?" So, the
60:10season pass is specifically for your reddraft leagues, your Sleeper, your ESPN, your Yahoo reddraft formats. The Mother Flocker is what would be for
60:19Dynasty, my friend.
60:23Okay. Isaiah Pacheco goes off of the 1208. our highest ranked guys with the draft sheets are actually quarterback and tight end at this point. Um, I am
60:32way less excited about Jared Goff in a four-point passing touchdown league because he doesn't run the ball at all.
60:38But in a six-point passing touchdown format, I will go ahead and take Jared Goff, but in your four-point passing touchdown league, I mean, I know in the
60:46flock league last year, he was on the waiverwire for the majority of it, right? Um, just because yes, he has a
60:51high floor because he has he's in a great offense and he has passing volume.
60:56he'll have passing touchdowns, etc., etc., but if he's not going to run the ball at all, it severely caps the ceiling from a fantasy perspective.
61:03But not the end of the world here if it is I don't know
61:14a six point a six-point passing touchdown league like golf can catch up to Jaylen Herz. It's possible the way that it isn't in a four-point
61:25Okay, Brock says, "Mine's an annual motherflocker." Yeah, so if you have an annual [ __ ] you should get access to all the dynasty stuff as well,
61:33and you should get a free team review every year on top of it. So, that would be the main difference between the
61:39season pass and the [ __ ] is season pass um you don't get the team review, you don't get dynasty.
61:46you get the team review and you get dynasty. So, we have three rounds left, right? So, you can at this point start to go like, "Oh, okay.
61:54If there is somebody, if I don't love the players that are available to me, I can go ahead and I can pivot over and
62:00grab my kicker, my defense, blah blah blah. But I do have Jonah Coleman ranked pretty highly in comparison to where he's going here. So, we are going to
62:09take Coleman because again, I mean, our team at this point, we need upside at running back. I'm fine. Like, I know we
62:16have guys that we can put into the lineup, but like Tony Pard's never turning into a league winner.
62:24Bree Hall's a New York Jet.
62:28Jonah Coleman's in an interesting spot.
62:32Fuji says, "Just got the season pass today. Best $34 I've ever spent." Really appreciate that, my friend. I really hope that um you have good success in
62:40your league this year. And oh, I'm excited to see you, Fuji, at the meetup.
62:44Let me pull up that information just for anybody who doesn't know. We are going to be at the Flock League meetup exactly one week
62:56from today. The Flock League meetup is one week from today. The people that will be there will be myself, S, the editors, the developers of
63:07flockfantasy.com. So, you can meet them in person and you can tell them what you want on the site. I'm sure that they
63:12would love it. Um, who else will be there? We got Nathan, we got Corey, we got Danny.
63:19Essentially, everybody, we have Davis will be there, we have Zach will be there, Mrs. Flock will be there. You can see Mrs. Flock if you come out to the
63:28meetup. Um, yeah, here's the meetup information. It is Austin, Texas, August 16th, Sunday, 5:00 PM Revalry Kitchen
63:37and Bar, East 6th Street. Um, again, time is 5:00 PM. Um Avery may not be there because Aver's wife is giving
63:47birth um this week. Prayers up for the Huffman family.
63:55And I believe Avery said he was naming this child Flock Jr. I can't confirm that, but the rumors on the street what Nathan
64:04told me, Nathan told me that Avery was naming his child Flock Jr. Again, I said, "Man, that's a little weird." I
64:12know you look up to me, right? I know you view me as a as an older brother, kind of like a f father figure in a way,
64:20but it's maybe taking it one step too far, but anyway, um, so Avery may not be there, Jinxy will not be there, but
64:31everybody else in the Flock League will be there. Rome, Zufa, bring a tomato, throw it at Zufa. Just kidding. Do not
64:37do that. You will immediately get kicked out. Um, but yeah, it's completely free to show up. I would love to meet as many
64:42of y'all as possible. Um, I'll also be giving away a ton of free merch as well.
64:47We just ordered 2,000 free I mean hats that we're going to give away for free.
64:51The first people that are going to be giving them I'm getting them will just be the people showing up to the meetup.
64:55So, show up. Let me give you some free hats. Hang out with us. Be a ton of fun.
65:03Now, Jacob says, "Hey, Mason, how can we support you? Do you have a Vinmo donation link?" I really appreciate the thought process, my friend. But if you
65:13got the season pass on flockfantasy.com, that's more than enough support. I really appreciate you. We have super chats turned off on this stream. Um,
65:22y'all support more than enough on flockfantasy.com. I don't want you all to feel like you need to send me any money. I really appreciate the sentiment
65:29and I really appreciate the fact that you'd be interested in doing that, but I don't want to I don't want to ask that
65:34from y'all. Um, y'all already support more than enough. Okay. So, now what we could do with this next pick is we could
65:41go handcuff running back. Um, let me see if there's anything that I'd be interested in.
65:53Now, Deshawn Stribbling goes 1408. I am going to go ahead and take my defense here that I like the week one matchup
65:58with. The Chargers going to play Arizona and then the Raiders. So, the Chargers defense is who I have been taking here
66:06as my DST. Uh mainly just because I know we can start them the first two weeks and they'll have plus matchups. They're
66:12going to be very high in my rankings for the first two weeks. And then I'm probably not going to take a kicker here
66:17because if I'm honest with you like all these kickers are the same to me. I literally have no idea who we would take
66:22once Meyers, Fair, Brandon Aubrey are all off the board. I guess you could make an argument for Cam Little, but he
66:28goes here at the 1412. So, what I'm probably going to do is I'm going to take a backup running back and then
66:32we're just going to drop that backup running back for a kicker right before week one. If we end up getting I mean, if we don't get an injury for um
66:42whatever running back we take to the guy in front of him, I'm not taking a second tight end when we have Brock Bowers. If
66:48Bowers gets injured, we'll go ahead and pick somebody up off the waiver wire.
66:54Okay.
66:57Roman says, "Is Jinxy the only one controlling his team?" Yes, Jinxy is the only one controlling his team. I don't think I can sell to Jinxy, hey, you want
67:05to come into the league? Um, but we get control of this person gets to control your team with you. There's no way in
67:13hell I'm telling Junko that. 0% chance.
67:16We are on the clock. I'm going to go ahead and take a backup running back.
67:19Couple different options we can look at.
67:21I'm probably going to take Dylan Samson here. One, he has a receiving role. Two, he looked decent at times last year. And
67:29three, while Judkins does appear to be healthy, Judkins is still coming off an injury.
67:34But yes, um Bernard is going to be helping Jinxy with his team, I am sure.
67:40Now, um Carter says, "You and Jinxy should play chess in case you haven't." I've seen Jinxy playing chess and because he's had people literally teach him how
67:50to play and he's played regularly, he would smoke me.
67:55He would absolutely smoke me. The only thing that I would have hope with is Clash Royale, which I'm gonna try to get
68:02my way into a Clash Royale game because I want to see what I can do. Now, let me go ahead and give away that free season
68:08pass at this point. I really appreciate everybody hanging out with us. Um, again, one last chance to enter. Drop a like on the stream. Um, type the word
68:15season pass into the live chat if you wanted to enter to win. And yeah, let's spin this freaking wheel and get this
68:24thing going. Okay, now Sam Perine off of the 15-10.
68:32Weird ass pick with Sam Perine. You never see Perine go.
68:37Okay, that is the team that had Chase Brown. But we are spinning this wheel.
68:41The entries are officially in here. And let's see who wins this thing. The winner of the free flockfantasy.com
68:49season pass is Alec Ventiki.
68:54Yes, I cannot read. Do not let uh make fun of me. I am sorry. But Alec Ventishiuk, I apologize for butchering your name,
69:04but I would absolutely love to get you hooked up with the free season pass. All you got to do is let me know what your
69:09flockfantasy.com username is.
69:14And um yeah, I think that will be it for the live stream. Thank you ladies and
69:24gentlemen for hanging out with us. And yeah, I'll be live tomorrow. We're going to be doing the same thing. We're going
69:31to be putting probably 250 300 350 something like that dollars into the league pot. Whoever wins the league at the end of the season gets all the
69:41money. so you can go up against me and I'm excited for it.
69:46But um Alec, I just got your username.
69:49I'm gonna send that over to Sammy who will hook you up with the free season pass. Appreciate you sticking till the
69:54end to claim your winnings. But thank you ladies and gentlemen. I appreciate you and I will see you out in the live
