Player analysis
Player insights
Alec Pierce
NegativeRole7:46
Alec Pierce has been moved down the source's rankings and is no longer considered a top-36 wide receiver. The source expects the Colts to be run-heavy and prioritize the tight end position, making Pierce an avoid. His value is further impacted by the team's signing of Keenan Allen and his own ongoing injury concerns.
Insight pageBraelon Allen
PositiveSleeper3:54
Braelon Allen is recommended as a preferred handcuff running back option over Tyrone Tracy.
Insight pageBreece Hall
NegativeInjury5:16
Breece Hall has been moved down in rankings due to a groin injury that has persisted for four weeks; the source now suggests he should only be drafted at the end of the third round, if at all, over healthier alternatives.
Insight pageBrian Robinson
PositiveUsage3:55
Brian Robinson is a preferred handcuff target because he would likely handle a three-down workload if Bijan Robinson were to miss time.
Insight pageBucky Irving
PositiveValue3:17
Bucky Irving is a preferred draft target over Cam Scataboo because he is currently 100% healthy.
Insight pageChuba Hubbard
NegativeInjury18:37
Chuba Hubbard is falling in rankings due to a multi-week absence caused by a hamstring injury.
Insight pageD'Andre Swift
NegativeRole8:32
D'Andre Swift is considered 'locked and loaded' as the starter for the beginning of the season, as the source believes competition from Kyle Manungai has diminished due to the latter's injury. However, the source expresses doubt that Swift can win the starting job long-term, noting he is locked into his current role for the early portion of the season.
Insight pageJavonte Williams
Jeremiyah Love
NegativeValue2:12
Jeremiah Love has been moved down in rankings due to a high ankle sprain. His ADP has dropped from a late second/early third-round selection to a middle of the third-round pick. The source advises against drafting him at the end of the second round and prefers Kyren Williams at current price points.
Insight pageJordyn Tyson
NegativeInjury4:57
Jordan Tyson has been moved down to WR41 due to an injury that will cause him to miss the first five to seven games of the season. He is not a viable pick in rounds six or seven; he should only be drafted in double-digit rounds, and only if the manager has an IR slot.
Insight pageJosh Downs
NegativeRole6:33
The source has moved Josh Downs significantly down their rankings, noting that he has only three games with 20+ fantasy points in his three-year career. The addition of Keenan Allen is viewed as a worst-case scenario that will siphon targets, and the source expects the Colts offense to be run-heavy with increased tight end involvement.
Insight pageKyren Williams
PositiveValue4:45
Kyren Williams is a preferred draft target over Breece Hall and Jeremiah Love because he is fully healthy and plays in one of the league's best offenses. The source considers him a better value in the second round.
Insight pageMike Evans
NegativeInjury16:53
Mike Evans is falling in rankings due to consistent injury issues during training camp. The source suggests moving him behind Rob and Carnell Tate if he is not confirmed 100% healthy for Week 1.
Insight pageRay Davis
PositiveSleeper3:53
Ray Davis is recommended as a preferred handcuff running back option over Tyrone Tracy.
Insight pageTravis Etienne
Tyjae Spears
PositiveSleeper3:57
Tajae Spears is recommended as a preferred handcuff running back option over Tyrone Tracy.
Insight pageTyrone Tracy
NegativeRole0:21
Tyrone Tracy is viewed strictly as a handcuff option who would likely operate in a committee if Cam Scataboo misses time. He is considered a late-round draft pick, with the source preferring other handcuff options like Ray Davis, Braelon Allen, Brian Robinson, and Tajae Spears.

Episode Transcript
0:00We talked about the risers with all the
0:01injuries and with all the preseason news
0:03that we've had, but let's go ahead and
0:05let's talk about the fallers. Now, of
0:08course, I want to lead us off for the
0:10New York Giants because I have had some
0:12push back where this came out three days
0:14ago that Nagieras was going to the New
0:16York Giants and I went through and I
0:19actually moved Cam Scataboo down my
0:21rankings. We'll talk about Tyrone Tracy
0:23in one second. And I know a lot of
0:25people are making the accurate point of
0:28Mason, why the hell would you move Cam
0:30Scataboo down your rankings, we can
0:32safely say at this point of his NFL
0:34career with how good he looked when he
0:37was playing last year that he is a much
0:40more talented running back than Naji
0:42Harris is. And I would 100% agree. Cam
0:45Scataboo is still the running back one
0:47for this New York Giants team. I think
0:49he is the most talented running back in
0:51this room. And I don't even think it's
0:52remotely close. But what this does is
0:56this signing combines with the speak
1:00that we have had surrounding the New
1:02York Giants coaching staff does make me
1:05worried about Scat's rehab and his
1:07timetable coming back. John Harbaugh
1:09said, "I got to see him for the first
1:11time at a game and I don't think he's
1:13100%." He would say he's not, but I got
1:15to see what about him already. I saw the
1:19foot quickness, the feel for the game,
1:21the explosiveness. It was good to watch
1:23and it was good for me to see that. But
1:25for us to one have the rumors coming
1:29into the NFL draft that this was going
1:32to be a team that was drafting Jeremiah
1:34Love. And of course that ended up not
1:36happening, right? Jeremiah Love went
1:38number three overall to the Arizona
1:39Cardinals. So the Giants did not take
1:41him. But then we get the followed up
1:44signing of Naji Harris and the report
1:48where they are saying explicitly Cam
1:50Scataboo is not 100%. If we compare him
1:54to the other running backs that are 100%
1:57right now like Bucky Irving, Bashel
1:59Tuton, David McGomery, Quinn Sean
2:02Judkins just got a nagging injury
2:04popping up. This is going to be
2:05something to monitor as well, but I
2:07think I would rather just take Bucky
2:08Irving at this point. I think it's
2:10honestly pretty easy to do just that.
2:12Keep in mind, this is a different
2:14coaching staff than what Cam Scatteraboo
2:16played with last year. A different
2:18coaching staff than the one that drafted
2:21him to go to the New York Giants. Now,
2:23let's move over to Tyrone Tracy in this
2:26instance. We'll just go to my running
2:28back rankings for this because obviously
2:30Tracy just a handcuff. Um, now at this
2:32point I would rather have handcuffed
2:33running backs like Ray Davis, Brilan
2:35Allen, Brian Robinson, Taji Spears,
2:38Tyron Tracy is at the very best a pick
2:41that you can take in the final two
2:43rounds of your fantasy draft because
2:44even if Scat does miss time now instead
2:48of him being a feature down running back
2:49for the Giants, he would most likely be
2:51in a committee. So, I would rather have
2:53like Brian Robinson where if we were to
2:56get an injury, too, Bejian Robinson, I'm
2:58pretty sure Brian Robinson's going to be
2:59playing in all three downs. Now, let's
3:02move over to another player that's dealt
3:05with an injury. This is another name
3:07that we've known about his injury for
3:09about a week now. I just want to make
3:11sure that we are on the same page and
3:13where he should be valued in fantasy
3:15drafts. Bree Hall used to be a player
3:17that I thought you could take at the end
3:20of the second round, the beginning of
3:21the third round, but now I have moved
3:25Bree down our rankings. This has been
3:27out for about four weeks that he is
3:30dealing with the groin injury. They're
3:31going to be cautious with him, but his
3:34timetable is weeks, not months. Like,
3:36it's not a guarantee that Bree Hall is
3:39going to be missing time going into this
3:41next season. But now I think if we
3:44re-evaluate him in this C tier of
3:46running backs, I think it would be
3:48extremely reckless to draft Breeze Hall
3:51over a fully healthy Kirn Williams when
3:53Kairen Williams is again the healthier
3:56running back between the two. Kairen
3:58Williams is possibly in the league's
3:59best offense. I think I would even
4:01rather have Javvante Williams and Travis
4:04CTN over Bree as well. So now, if I were
4:07going to be taking Bree, I would need a
4:09severe discount in comparison to where
4:11he was when he was fully healthy. And I
4:14would probably need to get him at the
4:15end of the third round rather than the
4:17beginning of the third round. Even
4:19though he does have a good chance to be
4:21playing week one, I would be afraid that
4:23this groin injury pops up again or he
4:26starts slow going into the year. Now,
4:28moving over to another running back we
4:30need to discuss, Jeremiah Love. Jeremiah
4:32Love obviously has the high ankle
4:34sprain. I'm not going to sit here and um
4:37spaz either on this, but I will say
4:40again, very similar to Bree. I'm going
4:43to be using it as a tie break. I would
4:45rather have Kairen Williams at this
4:46point over Jeremiah Love. And I don't
4:49think you could take him at the end of
4:50the second round anymore. I think
4:51Jeremiah Love would need to fall to at
4:53least the middle of the third round for
4:55you to consider drafting him. Now,
4:57moving over to Jordan Tyson. I know
4:59we've talked a lot about Jordan Tyson
5:01lately. It'll take me one second to get
5:03to this. And I'll remind you that if you
5:05wanted to stay up todate with all of my
5:08fantasy football rankings, make sure
5:10that you are bringing the best rankings
5:12possible to your fantasy football draft.
5:15Just make sure you get the season pass.
5:17It's only 34 bucks. You're going to get
5:18the updated rankings all year round
5:21during the season as well, not only from
5:23myself, but all your favorite creators
5:26on YouTube. And you'll get custom draft
5:28sheets that are tailored to your exact
5:30league settings and the exact draft
5:32platform that you're on. Access to the
5:34trade calculator all season. Access to
5:37the my teams page. And when you use code
5:40flock, you're going to get a free start
5:42trade question package where you can ask
5:44me those free questions in the live
5:45streams that I'm going to be live
5:46streaming every single night until
5:48Christmas. Link is in the description.
5:50Link is in the comment section. But I
5:53did move Jordan Tyson down to about wide
5:55receiver 41. Um, at this point, I don't
5:58think you could consider taking him in
6:00round six. You can't consider taking him
6:02in round seven at the very, very
6:05earliest for Jordan Tyson. You could
6:07take him in the eighth round, but that
6:09is only if you have an injured reserve
6:11slot. If you don't have an injured
6:13reserve slot, then you're going to have
6:15to wait even further. and Jordan Tyson.
6:17We need to fall to the double-digit
6:18rounds as he is going to miss the first
6:21five, six, seven games of the year for
6:24the New Orleans Saints. Now, let's move
6:26over to the Indianapolis Colts wide
6:29receivers. So, I have moved down both
6:33Josh Downs as well as Alec Pierce. Josh
6:37DS I am way lower than anybody else on
6:40flockfantasy.com with um I understand
6:43Pierce is injured but still we go back
6:45and look at Josh DS in an elite
6:47Indianapolis Colts offense last season
6:50he had zero games with 20 or more
6:52fantasy points. Going to 2024 he had two
6:55games with 20 or more fantasy points.
6:57Going to 2023 he had one game with 20 or
7:00more fantasy points. So through the
7:02first three years of his NFL career, he
7:04has had a total of three games with 20
7:06or more points. He's now going into year
7:09four. Coming off a season where he was
7:10the wide receiver, 56 in points per
7:13game. And while yes, Michael Pitman Jr.
7:15is gone. Tyler Warren does look healthy.
7:18We are a little bit worried with the
7:19groin injury that showed up yesterday,
7:20but sounds like he's going to be a okay,
7:22good to go for week one. And at the same
7:25time, you are going to have to be
7:26concerned about the addition of Kenan
7:29Allen. I think Keenan Allen is like the
7:31worst case scenario for Josh DS where
7:34ultimately Keenan's not going to make
7:35the offense that much better, but he is
7:38going to take targets away from him. So
7:39Josh DS is somebody that I moved
7:42dramatically down my ranks. I'm not that
7:44excited for. And we also moved Alec
7:46Pierce down my rankings as well. Neither
7:48of these Indianapolis Colts wide
7:50receivers are top 36 names for me. I
7:52think that this offense is going to be
7:54incredibly runheavy. Not only are they
7:56going to be incredibly runheavy, but at
7:58the same time with a healthy Tyler
8:00Warren, they're going to be playing
8:02through the air with the tight end
8:03position. And now they have three wide
8:05receivers that can take targets. So, we
8:07went ahead moved both of these
8:09Indianapolis Colts wide receivers down
8:11my ranks. I would like to avoid both of
8:13them if we can. Now, let's move over to
8:17a couple other running backs that we
8:20need to discuss. Starting off with Kyle
8:23Manungai. So Kyle Manungai, we
8:25previously had an arrange in which I
8:27wouldn't have been that surprised if he
8:29actually beat out DeAndre Swift for the
8:32starting job, but with a hyperextended
8:34knee, I think the risk of DeAndre Swift
8:37losing his job to Kyle Manungai just
8:39went down dramatically. So, Mungai I
8:42would put in like the premium handcuff
8:44running backs in the same range with
8:46these guys like Algier, Aaron Jones,
8:48Rodriguez where yes, if an injury were
8:51to occur to the guy in front of them, I
8:53could see them being a league winner,
8:55but I'm not really optimistic about um
8:59Kenneth Gainwell straight up outplaying
9:01Bucky Irving and winning the starting
9:03job. I don't think Tyler Algier is going
9:05to outplay Jeremiah Love and win the
9:07starting job. Um, and at this point with
9:09the hyperextended knee for Kyle
9:10Manungai, with him missing a decent
9:13amount of time going into the season, I
9:15would kind of say the same thing here. I
9:16don't think he's going to be out playing
9:18DeAndre Swift. I don't think he can
9:19really win this starting job at this
9:21point. Swift is locked and loaded,
9:24especially in the beginning portion of
9:25the season. But this is the create
9:27rankings page on flockfantasy.com. So,
9:30these are my exact rankings, but we can
9:32transition over to the expert average
9:35rankings on flockfantasy.com as well.
9:37And I can just see if there are any
9:39other players that we've missed with the
9:40trends. Obviously, as rankings get
9:43updated, we show the biggest risers and
9:45the biggest followers on these pages
9:47with this little arrow indicator. So,
9:48you can see a lav pretty damn big riser
9:51moved up from being a mid- third round
9:53pick to an early third round pick.
9:55Jeremiah Love, we already discussed this
9:57fall. He has fallen from being an late
9:59second, early third to now he is a
10:01middle of the third round selection. Cam
10:04Scataboo's fallen a bit in my opinion. I
10:06think Scataboo should fall significantly
10:08past this point. I think Scataboo should
10:10be going at the end of the fourth, the
10:12beginning of the fifth round. Mike Evans
10:14has been a slight fall with Evans. Um,
10:17he has just consistently gotten banged
10:19up in Ner's training camp. So, if we
10:22don't get a positive blurb coming out of
10:24San Francisco soon that he is truly 100%
10:27and good to go for week one, I wouldn't
10:29fault you at all for moving Mike Evans
10:32behind Rob and behind Carnell Tate. Now,
10:36Mai Lemon's been another faller for me.
10:39I think this Mai Lemon fall is a buy the
10:42dip opportunity because he was um out
10:46with the hamstring injury, but now it
10:48looks like he's good to go. He is back
10:50in. So, Mai Lemon, I initially would
10:54have told you to avoid him in round
10:56seven, eight of drafts, but now if you
10:58can get him around eight, I actually
10:59really like the pick. It's a much better
11:01situation than Jordan Tyson. Alec
11:03Pierce, we've already discussed,
11:04falling, the signing of Kenan Allen, and
11:06at the same time, I mean, you're in a
11:08tough spot when it comes to his own
11:10injury. RJ Harvey is falling in rankings
11:12a bit. I think this is more so due to
11:15the Jonah Coleman positive reports than
11:17anything. Chuba Hubard has been falling.
11:20That's with him having the multi-week
11:22absence with his hamstring. Jordan
11:24Tyson, massive follower as we've
11:26discussed. Cal Benai, we've discussed
11:27that follower. And then I think that is
11:30about it in terms of the names that are
11:32worth really discussing outside of like
11:34Tracy who we've already talked about.
11:36But I want to remind y'all I'm going to
11:37be keeping my rankings up tod date every
11:40single day until Christmas. So just make
11:43sure you have the season pass on
