0:00This is literally the worst thing ever.
0:02Like I know we talked about this with Jordan Tyson. I know we talked about this with Jaden Higgins. I know we
0:08talked about it with Mekhi Becton. I hate injuries so freaking much for a ton of different reasons. Like the main one
0:16being is I'm just a massive fan of the game of football, right? While I am rocking the Ashton Jeanty jersey, I'll
0:22be honest, I'm not a Raiders fan. I'm a fan of football. I'm a fan of fantasy football. And what I selfishly want
0:30every single year is I want as many talented, as many fun players possible playing the game that I love. My Sundays
0:40would be better if Ashton Jeanty was out there. Uh my Thursdays would be better.
0:45This was a player that I was so damn excited to see this year.
0:52And now that it may be taken away, it just sucks beyond belief. And I want to talk about the updates that we have with
0:58my rankings. I want to talk about all the reports that have come out. And yeah, I mean it it's just freaking brutal. Uh let's
1:06go through and let's look at all this.
1:09Uh this is me just typing Ashton Jeanty into Twitter. And obviously, you can see that he is trending as is. Um I sent out
1:17my little thing, the Ashton Jeanty injury just kills any team that drafted him. Pray that he's okay. I mean, it is
1:24unbelievable. So, Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty left practice early after suffering an apparent knee injury.
1:31During the team period, he was diving for a catch and landed awkwardly. He was helped off the field by trainers and
1:39couldn't put any pressure on his right leg. The entire team took a knee and said a prayer.
1:47This is all we're working with right now. This is all the information that we have.
1:52But if we combine a couple different things here, the prayer circle from his teammates with the Las Vegas Raiders and the fact that he could not put any
2:03pressure on his leg.
2:07It It sounds like it's the worst-case scenario.
2:10It's absolutely brutal. Like again, I feel for the guy. I mean, I am I just a little goldfish in comparison to like
2:19a professional that he is. Imagine you are Ashton Jeanty.
2:24You work your entire life every single day as hard as you possibly can to get to the NFL. You're so excited about the
2:32opportunity. I mean, imagine how much he was looking forward to the season with Fernando Mendoza and it's all taken from him like that.
2:40From a human perspective, it's the saddest thing ever. From a fantasy perspective, which obviously y'all know this is a fantasy football channel. It's
2:48absolutely devastating for anybody who has drafted him.
2:53And it does update rankings tremendously. So, I'm going to go through and I'm going to update my fantasy rankings here because I know
3:01there are a lot of people that are using our rankings right now to draft teams. I know there are a lot of people that are
3:07using our draft sheets, that are using our draft assistants. And if their draft is in an hour before we get information, they can't be looking
3:17at my rankings where I previously had Ashton Jeanty ranked at 11th inside the tier with like McCaffrey, Taylor, St.
3:23Brown, Lamb, Jefferson, and James Cook and draft off these ranks. There is a 0% chance that you could take Ashton Jeanty
3:32at this cost now. So, let me pull this around. We are going to update the rankings for Jeanty, Bowers, and Mike
3:39Washington. Those are really the only three players that it is going to impact. As I get this ready though, I'll remind y'all if you ever wanted to stay
3:47up-to-date with all of our rankings, draft sheets, and draft assistants, I update every single day with every piece of news that we get. So, if you don't
3:57already have the flockfantasy.com season pass, make sure you get it. It's going to stay up to date through the entire season. And on top of that, you'll get
4:05all our fantasy tools, all those draft assistants, all those custom draft sheets for your exact league settings and platform. And when you use code
4:12flock when you sign up, you're also going to get free start sit trade questions. You can ask me in the live
4:17streams, which I'm going to be streaming every single night until Christmas.
4:21flockfantasy.com links in the description and comment section.
4:25But, now we have this up. Previously, I did have Ashton Jeanty as my running back five.
4:33There is no world in which if I had to get into a draft today, that I would draft Ashton Jeanty ahead of James Cook,
4:41Devon Achane, Chase Brown, Saquon Barkley, Amari Cooper, Kenneth Walker, Derrick Henry. No way in hell. He has to drop an entire tier at the very, very
4:50minimum. And here's the deal. You What you have to ask yourself, right now it looks bad. Right now it looks like Ashton Jeanty may be out for
4:58the season.
5:00But, it's not confirmed. There is no guarantee. So, if I was drafting today, Sunday at 5:00 p.m., and I was having to
5:08figure out Um hey, where would I be willing to take the risk on a player that may be out for the season? Y'all saw me draft Jordan
5:18Tyson in the eighth round of the Flock League draft. Turned out to burn me.
5:22Jordan Tyson got announced that he's going to be out for 2 months a couple days after I drafted him, which absolutely sucked. But, if you're in
5:28that scenario in which you can take Jeanty at a certain point before we get word of exactly what's happened here.
5:35He does have to eventually become appealing. Where I would probably move the mark down to is I think I would need Jeanty in the
5:45tier of Swift, Bucky, Tooten, Montgomery, Judkins, Scat, Henderson, Qadree Ollison. Side note, I'm going to move Price ahead of Henderson. But, I
5:55think I would draft all of these running backs ahead of Gentry.
6:00I think Gentry now becomes I mean, if you're drafting right this second, here's the deal. We're probably going to get news about this tomorrow, and we may
6:07get confirmation of like, "Oh, no.
6:09Actually, it's not the end of the world.
6:11He may be good to go." Or we'll get confirmation no, he's out for the season.
6:16So, if I were to draft right now with the only information that we have that he can't put any pressure on his leg,
6:22and his teammates had a prayer circle for him. We haven't even seen a video of the injury.
6:28Again, I'm putting him at 26.
6:31Like, hypothetically, if I was in my fantasy league and I had Bucky Irving, and the Ashton Gentry injury, I'm I mean, the Ashton Gentry owner sent me an
6:39offer of like, "Hey, I'll swap you Gentry and Bucky right now." I would tell them no.
6:46I I wouldn't do it. I mean, Vinnie also has the good point where he is saying, "Or it will be 6 to 8 weeks, and your
6:54hope is your league has an IR slot."
6:56Yeah, that's also an outcome. It's not that he's completely fine or that he's out for the season. There's a chance that this dude's out for 2 months,
7:03right? Very similar to Jordan Tyson.
7:06So, I'm going to put him here for now until we get additional news.
7:11Now, here's the other thing that we need to discuss that's going to be so damn important. It's where do you draft Mike
7:17Washington? Mike Washington has looked very good in the preseason. Mike Washington at the same time was a decent prospect. Like, in terms of
7:28his prospect profile, the number one thing that stands out is his RAS score right here. If y'all don't know what RAS
7:34is, maybe you don't play dynasty fantasy football. Um it is essentially how athletic are you? Mike Washington was a freak athlete.
7:43Literal freak, 99th percentile.
7:46So, this is a running back that I think we need to move up considerably.
7:51I think he has upside to be a top 24 running back if we were to get that injury to Jente really mattering, and
7:56the depth chart behind Jente is Mike Washington and that's about it.
7:59So, I would actually probably at this point rather have Mike Washington.
8:06I don't want to say rather, but he would be in the same tier for me as Jaylen Warren, Ramondre Stevenson, Tony
8:12Pollard, Jonathan Brooks, R.J. Harvey.
8:14I'm probably going to put him at the bottom of this tier for now. I would for sure rather have him over like
8:21Rico Dowdle, Chuba Hubbard, Blake Corum, J.K. Dobbins. Not even remotely close.
8:26But, here's the deal. If we were to get word that Jente is officially out for the season, Mike Washington probably jumps to the
8:34top of this tier for me, where he's probably sitting at like RB 26 cuz then obviously Jente would get removed from
8:41the list entirely.
8:42So, Mike Washington low-end RB2, high-end RB3 when Jente's going to be out.
8:48But, because we don't have 100% confirmation just yet that Jente is out for the season. Again, the only information we have is his teammates had
8:58a prayer circle for him and he couldn't put it any pressure on his leg.
9:02I would value Mike Washington as a mid-RB3, Asim Jente as a low-end RB2, high-end RB3.
9:08Um and then maybe we will look back at this one day from now and we laugh at me overreacting, which I hope is the case.
9:15I hope and I pray that we look back 12 hours from now and you go, "Oh my god, look at Mason
9:21clickbaiting trying to get views, making a big deal out of the Asim Jente injury and moving him down to RB 26 and
9:27overreacting." I hope that's what we're saying.
9:30I hope y'all are clowning on me about this 12 hours from now and it turned out to not be a big deal. But, if I was
9:36drafting today, this is the discount I would need on Gentry to take the risk.
9:41Very similar to whenever I drafted Jordan Tyson in the eighth round in the Flock league, he fell obviously because people didn't know what was going on
9:50with his hamstring. I took the risk in the eighth. Turned out not to be the right call cuz he was going to be out
9:55for 2 months with that hamstring injury.
9:57And if you're drafting tonight, you may have to take a risk with Gentry. I'm not doing so inside the top 24 backs. I'll
10:03let somebody else take that risk. But if I could draft him as an RB3, that's when it becomes okay for me with my risk tolerance. I
10:12see the upside and I see the play. But we are going to get so much more information as this goes. And now what's
10:18going to be interesting to note is for your leagues that have already drafted and Mike Washington sitting out there on the waiver wire. So for the Flock league
10:25specifically, maybe this is a spoiler and maybe you're going to be upset with me saying this.
10:30Maybe the league mates will blah blah blah. Um I don't care. I'm just going to fill you all in. Y'all came to this live
10:35stream. I want to give you all the deets. And this is what's going through my head just to be completely honest
10:39with you.
10:40So I made a trade at the Flock league meetup that included me getting 50% of somebody's FAB budget.
10:49So now everybody else in the league has $1,000 in FAB.
10:54I have $1,500 in FAB. And then obviously the person I traded with only has 500.
11:02I am blowing a thousand and one dollars.
11:07If Gentry's out for the season and this team doesn't go and trade for James Conner immediately, I'm going to put a $1,001
11:16bid on Mike Washington because at that point I think he does become a borderline top 24 RB.
11:22So I will make sure that I get him. If you're in a league that's already drafted and your waiver wire is going to
11:29come up this next week and you have say 100% of your fab budget, I would slam it all down on him. Of
11:38course, the risk that you have, one, the Raiders could still be garbage.
11:42Two, Mike Washington could be bad. Maybe he's a good athlete and nothing else.
11:47And three, maybe they trade for James Conner. But there will be very few opportunities that you get where it's a thin running back depth chart, a
11:55rookie with upside steps into a starting job because the three-down bell count running back of him goes down. So, I'm going to lay down the hammer on the
12:03waiver wire this week, and I'm going for Mike Washington.
12:07Now, yes, I'm sure most people in this chat, I see already talking about it, and I legitimately feel bad for him
12:14because if y'all obviously watch the Flock League, which um shout-out to everybody who does, this is my favorite thing in the world, and I hope y'all are
12:24enjoying it half as much as I am.
12:26Um if y'all watch the Flock League live stream or followed it last year, y'all saw that Danny lost the league, and he
12:35got severely punished, right?
12:38It was absolutely brutal what we did to him.
12:42And you know who he drafted in the league this year? Take a guess.
12:48Danny, the guy in our league who got last place last season, he went through, and he drafted Ashton Jeanty yet again this year.
12:58So, the ladster before we even get a second of real NFL action, already is now the favorite to lose the league. Let me pull up flockfantasy.com
13:08real quick, and I'll show y'all what the updated power rankings are in the Flock League with my rankings. Obviously, if y'all don't know this, um you can go
13:18through, and with the power rankings on flockfantasy.com, once you link your team, let me zoom out of this so it's easier for you all to see.
13:28But once you link your team, there are power rankings that you can see how your team stacks up against everybody else.
13:35You actually already had Danny at the very bottom, but that's using the expert average rankings.
13:41If I change it to my updated rankings where I just nuke Ash and Gentry into oblivion, it's going to get that much worse for
13:50Danny.
13:52Like Danny in that case is at the bottom of this league and it is not even remotely close with value. This is using
14:00my rankings where Danny is down here, so down bad. Um Danny and Sammy, Sammy has to share a team with him where his
14:10now updated running back room, if Gentry's out for the season, is Jaylen Warren, Jordan Mason, Jonah Coleman, Brian Robinson, and MarShawn
14:19Lloyd.
14:20So this dude's cooked beyond belief. He has no hope.
14:23None. None at all.
14:26His week one starting running backs are Jaylen Warren and Jordan Mason.
14:31I thought he already had the worst team in the league and now it just becomes that much worse. And if I were him, I
14:36would be laying the hammer down on the waiver wire to try to get Mike Washington cuz obviously if y'all use flockfantasy.com, you can see the waiver
14:44wire option and based on my rankings, Mike Washington now becomes by far and away the best player on the waiver wire.
14:51Like the other skill positions on the waiver wire, Najee Harris, George O'Lani, who gives a damn?
14:56Wide receiver Keenan Allen, who cares?
14:58Like Keenan Allen's a turd nugget compared to freaking Mike Washington at this point. So um I feel fortunate that I have the extra fab dollars where I'm
15:06able to go out there and target him aggressively and add him to the team of destiny and I needed that additional
15:12player because obviously we lost out on Jordan Tyson, but this is horrible. Again, what I am hoping for is I am hoping that we get
15:21positive news in the coming hours or tomorrow where what we end up hearing is Gentry's going to be fine. He's going to
15:29sit out practice for a couple of weeks.
15:32And we all can all go to the comment section and you can comment, "Mason, you're a clown. You overreacted for clicks. This was clickbait. Blah, blah,
15:41blah, blah." That's what I am hoping for. But again, he can't put any pressure on his leg. His teammates had a
15:48prayer circle for him. So I think it may be over and it just freaking sucks because this is a player I was so damn excited to see this year.
15:56You have no idea.
15:58Now, um I think that's going to be it for this live stream. I I know we talked about moving Brock Bowers in rankings,
16:04but honestly, the more that I think about it, I don't think we move Bowers.
16:06Maybe this gives them to be a little bit more pass-happy, but it also probably makes the offense worse. So I don't
16:11think Bowers gains much value. I don't think he loses much value. He's still the tight end one in fantasy about this
16:16range. But I think it's all we got for you. I know I need you to give away a last chance to enter. If you wanted to
16:22enter into win a freeflockfantasy.com season pass, all you got to do is drop a like on this live stream and then type
16:28the word season pass into the live chat. You do that and you'll be entered into win a free one. And I'll give you 10 more
16:38seconds to do it. Now remind y'all, if you don't already have your season pass, it's going to be how you win your
16:41league. Um I just updated my rankings for everybody here. So if you're using our draft assistance if you're using my draft sheets, you have the most
16:50up-to-date rankings with all injury news all year rounds. Um yeah, that way you can stay one step ahead of your league
16:57mates and it's only 34 bucks to get the flockfantasy.com season pass. And you're also going to get updated rankings not only for myself, but pretty much all
17:06your favorite creators you watch on YouTube. Just make sure you sign up with code flock cuz if you use code flock,

17:53But um I'm going to look for that message from Parker in the chat. But much love, ladies and gentlemen. I will see you
18:01probably in about 4 hours when we do that $500 fantasy draft. Again, how that's going to work is I'm going to put
18:08$500 into the pot with my own money. We are going to fill that draft with 11 random people from the YouTube live
18:14chat. And yeah, whoever wins the league gets all $500. And the people that join, you have to buy in $0. I'm the only one
18:22who puts money into the pot. But much love, ladies and gentlemen. I appreciate you. And I'll see you in the live stream
18:28later tonight.
