A.J. Brown

PositiveValue47:27

AJ Brown was acquired via trade, described by Flock Fantasy as a 'robbing him deal' by the trade calculator—trades that almost never get done. He is a second-round caliber receiver now on the team alongside Nico Collins.

Insight page

Bo Nix

NegativeProjection5:00

Bo Nix is the team's quarterback in a league ranked dead last (12th) in quarterback points. The source identifies quarterback as the team's weakest position and recommends benching Nix in favor of Matthew Stafford in specific matchups, indicating Nix is not a reliable weekly starter. However, in a separate league context with a double-flex format, Nix paired with Jordan Love is identified as 'completely fine' for playing matchups, suggesting the viability depends on league structure and available alternatives.

Insight page

Braelon Allen

PositiveValue8:48

Recommended handcuff pickup as the direct handcuff to Breece Hall; the source prefers Allen over Adonai Mitchell, indicating Allen has more upside as a handcuff option in this roster construction.

Insight page

Breece Hall

NegativeInjury40:54

Dealing with a groin injury but expected to be ready for week one, though there is outside chance of reaggravation. Flock Fantasy notes the injury concern supports the value of handcuff Braelon Allen. Additionally, Hall may become expendable after Josh Jacobs' hearing outcome is known and Marshon Lloyd's role is clarified; the source suggests selling Hall in combination with Kyle Pitts to acquire a premium tight end (Trey McBride or similar) if Marshon Lloyd is healthy as the Packers' starting running back.

Insight page

Brian Robinson

NegativeRole48:08

Brian Robinson is listed as running back depth behind James Cook and Devon Achane; Flock Fantasy notes the team's running back depth 'isn't great' at the backup level.

Insight page

Brian Thomas Jr.

NegativeRole32:26

Brian Thomas is a bench wide receiver recommended as a trade piece (paired with Caleb Williams) to upgrade to Lamar Jackson at quarterback; Flock Fantasy notes the team has strong depth to support this trade.

Insight page

Brock Bowers

PositiveValue9:11

Elite tight end trade target in shallow 10-team leagues. The source recommends trading Tyler Warren (and potentially Rasheed Rice) to acquire Brock Bowers, indicating Bowers is a worthwhile upgrade. Additionally, the source suggests trading Jaylen Waddle and Tyler Warren to pick up Brock Bowers. In a league with only two receiver and one flex spot, the source characterizes Bowers as an 'elite tight end' and notes that investing in elite tight ends like Bowers makes 'a ton of sense' where tight end scarcity is higher.

Insight page

Bucky Irving

PositiveProjection51:04

Bucky Irving is characterized as 'a solid running back two' in a PPR league with two receiver, one flex format; he provides strong depth behind Jonathan Taylor in a team with elite running back depth that includes RJ Harvey (RB3), Tony Pollard and Jordan Mason (RB4 and RB5).

Insight page

Caleb Douglas

NegativeValue49:09

The source recommends pivoting away from Caleb Douglas at wide receiver, preferring Keenan Allen for upside instead. Douglas is also considered inferior to Jawan Johnson as a depth option at tight end.

Insight page

Caleb Williams

NegativeValue30:30

Caleb Williams is a starting quarterback in a shallow 10-team league with the option to play matchups alongside Brock Purdy. The source suggests he is tradeable—pairing him with Teda McMillan to acquire Josh Allen—given the team's strong waiver depth with free options like Marshon Lloyd and Rashad White available.

Insight page

Chase Brown

NegativeRole40:54

Chase Brown is listed as one of four startable running backs on a strong roster (Chase Brown, Devon Achane, Breece Hall, Marshon Lloyd), indicating he is a depth piece in a team with solid running back production.

Insight page

Christian Watson

PositiveValue6:15

Identified as a realistic trade target in the range of wide receivers drafted at the end of the fifth or beginning of the sixth round; the source would be more interested in acquiring Watson than DK Metcalf in a trade involving Jonathan Brooks and Quinton Johnson. Watson is also part of a strong wide receiver room in a 12-team, start-eight league with full PPR scoring that the source loves.

Insight page

Colston Loveland

PositiveValue2:26

Identified as a tight end trade target the source would pursue by trading away a wide receiver like Ibuka; the source acknowledges this 'sounds crazy' but justifies it because the roster is so strong at skill positions that it can afford to trade depth at WR for an upgrade at TE. Source views Loveland as a strong tight end option, noting that if he gets injured, pivot options like Britain Strange and TJ Hawkinson are available as comparable-quality alternatives, suggesting confidence in Loveland's role and production. Tight end trade target where owner has rejected an offer of Leo Porta and Bashel Tuton.

Insight page

Cyrus Allen

NegativeRole41:04

Conditional hold dependent on early-season usage; the source recommends monitoring Cyrus Allen's week one role and keeping him only if the setup looks favorable; otherwise, he should be cut. Hold consideration applies only in leagues where you can start four receivers.

Insight page

D.J. Moore

PositiveProjection51:51

DJ Moore is characterized as 'a solid wide receiver two' in a PPR league with two receiver, one flex format; he provides strong secondary receiving option behind Nico Collins (WR1) and ahead of Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR3).

Insight page

D'Andre Swift

PositiveRole5:20

Characterized as a good running back who can be deployed in the flex position, allowing teams to trade away wide receiver depth for tight end upgrades in shallow leagues. The source approves of Swift as part of an adequate running back room despite weakness at the top end.

Insight page

Dalvin Cook

NegativeValue46:20

Cook was selected as the third running back in the draft; the drafter felt he was the safest option and loved the Bills fit, though acknowledged this may have been overthinking the pick.

Insight page

David Montgomery

NegativeDepth Chart12:31

David Montgomery is on the bench of the best team in a shallow 10-team, 2-receiver, 1-flex league, representing depth that could be optimized for upside in trades or waiver moves. In a deep 12-team league with two flex spots and mandatory three starting wide receivers, David Montgomery is identified as one of three startable running backs, with potentially four startable names in the roster's running back depth chart, providing solid depth for the league format.

Insight page

David Njoku

PositiveValue9:25

The source suggests trading Tyler Borin and Eggbuka to acquire David Njoku (referred to as McBride in the transcript), indicating Njoku is a preferred tight end target worth consolidating depth to obtain. The source states they would 'absolutely love' this trade, expressing strong conviction in Njoku's value relative to those two players.

Insight page

De'Von Achane

PositiveProjection48:08

Devon Achane is characterized as a late first, early second rounder in value; paired with James Cook as the team's primary running back duo, providing solid depth at the position.

Insight page

DK Metcalf

NegativeValue5:54

In a 12-team league format, the source would 'pretty easily rather have the combination of Quinton Johnson and Jonathan Brooks over DK Metcalf' because both players have upside to outperform Metcalf this year; the source advises against trading for Metcalf in deeper leagues where waiver wire depth matters. The source explicitly recommends against trading Jonathan Brooks and Quinton Johnson to acquire Metcalf, instead suggesting trades for much better receivers in the range of Christian Watson or Tedo McMillan.

Insight page

Drake London

PositiveRole26:00

Part of strong wide receiver depth alongside Jameson Williams, DK Metcalf, and Jordan Addison; Flock Fantasy feels good about this four-receiver group. Dual Falcons receivers (London and Kyle Pitts) create a concentrated bet on Atlanta's offense, but the source reassures that both were able to produce as great fantasy options last year when healthy, and the Falcons offense was not particularly strong last season, suggesting the dual-receiver strategy is viable.

Insight page

Hunter Henry

NegativeRole27:54

Cut from roster; Flock Fantasy does not see him ever starting in this roster and recommends picking up handcuffed running backs instead. Hunter Henry has limited upside for ranking jumps compared to running backs like Marshon Lloyd. Britain Strange and TJ Hawkinson are available as equivalent tight end alternatives if needed.

Insight page

J.K. Dobbins

NegativeRole48:08

JK Dobbins is listed as running back depth behind James Cook and Devon Achane; Flock Fantasy notes the team's running back depth 'isn't great' at the backup level.

Insight page

Ja'Marr Chase

NegativeValue0:24

Fourth overall pick in a 10-team league with 6-point touchdowns; the source notes this is 'going to be an interesting note' in the context of evaluating overall roster construction. Also listed as a core starter in a Dynasty Superflex 12-team league week-one starting lineup, indicating his role as a foundational piece across different league formats.

Insight page

Jadarian Price

PositiveBreakout22:28

Jadarian Price has starter upside in this league, but the source recommends waiting for on-field confirmation of production before trading away depth to upgrade at tight end; if Price breaks out, that would create the flexibility to trade for a premium tight end.

Insight page

Jahmyr Gibbs

PositiveProjection46:09

Elite tier-one running back selected third overall in the draft, indicating high confidence in his production and tier status.

Insight page

Jalen Hurts

PositiveProjection43:40

Jalen Hurts is part of a strong wide receiver room in a 12-team, start-eight league with full PPR scoring; the source loves this receiver room construction for the format.

Insight page

James Cook

NegativeProjection45:52

Taking James Cook third overall is characterized as 'a really bad call' by the source; however, the team mitigated this draft mistake through subsequent trades acquiring AJ Brown and Nico Collins, both second-round caliber receivers, which improved the roster composition despite the early RB investment.

Insight page

Jameson Williams

PositiveValue2:18

The source owns Jameson Williams on his own fantasy team and 'really like[s]' him; he is proposed as a potential trade piece to upgrade at tight end, specifically in a deal sending him to acquire Tyler Borin. Also evaluated as part of strong wide receiver depth; included in group of four quality receivers (London, Williams, Metcalf, Addison) that source feels good about, suggesting adequate production floor.

Insight page

Jayden Daniels

NegativeValue14:08

In a shallow 10-team league where the team is already the best roster, Jaden Daniels is a candidate to be traded away. Flock Fantasy suggests trading Jaden Daniels (potentially with Ibuka) to upgrade at quarterback to Josh Allen, or trading Jaden Daniels with Deshun Stribbling for Lamar Jackson, as the team's strength allows for such upgrades. In a deep league where waiver wire quality is limited, the source recommends keeping Jaden Daniels as the sole QB rather than rostering a backup, as holding only one QB maximizes flexibility to target running backs and wide receivers off waivers.

Insight page

Jaylen Waddle

NegativeRole18:00

Evaluated as a really good WR3 in a 10-team league; identified as a potential trade piece that could be packaged with RJ Harvey to upgrade at WR or RB in a shallow format where depth is less valuable. Starting wide receiver on roster; potential trade piece to upgrade at tight end (Brock Bowers or Trey McBride) or quarterback (Josh Allen) in a shallow league with strong waiver depth.

Insight page

Jaylen Warren

NegativeRole30:39

Rostered in flex spot in a 10-team shallow league; positioned as a potential trade piece given the team's strong depth at running back and wide receiver, where free waiver options (Marshon Lloyd, Rashad White) are available.

Insight page

Jonah Coleman

PositiveRole0:46

Running back on the roster being evaluated as part of the team's running back depth chart. In a deep 12-team league with two flex spots and mandatory three starting wide receivers, Jonah Coleman is identified as a potentially startable running back (fourth option), with the roster's running back depth chart providing solid depth for the league format.

Insight page

Jonathan Taylor

PositiveProjection51:04

Jonathan Taylor is described as 'a smash at running back one' in a PPR league with two receiver, one flex format; he anchors the team's strong running back depth alongside Bucky Irving (solid RB2), RJ Harvey (good RB3), Tony Pollard and Jordan Mason (incredible RB4 and RB5).

Insight page

Jonathon Brooks

PositiveValue5:35

Running back four on the roster with potential trade value; in a 12-team league, the source prefers the combination of Jonathan Brooks and Quinton Johnson over DK Metcalf, citing that both players have upside to outperform Metcalf. Brooks is identified as an expendable piece that could be shipped to a team more running back needy in a deal to upgrade at wide receiver, though he has enough upside to hold through week five to evaluate performance before trading.

Insight page

Jordan Addison

PositiveRole27:00

Part of strong wide receiver depth; included in group of four quality receivers (Drake London, Jameson Williams, DK Metcalf, Jordan Addison) that Flock Fantasy feels good about, suggesting adequate production floor and starting potential.

Insight page

Jordan Mason

PositiveRole10:59

Jordan Mason is identified as a startable bench player in a Dynasty Superflex 12-team league, contributing to the team's exceptional depth at skill positions. In a shallow 10-team, 2-receiver, 1-flex league, Mason is on the bench of the best team, representing depth that could be optimized for upside in trades or waiver moves. Flock Fantasy characterizes Mason as an 'incredible' running back five option; the source notes the team is in 'a really good spot' with running back depth that includes Mason as a late-round option.

Insight page

Jordyn Tyson

NegativeBreakout40:05

Late-season upside receiver who cannot be trusted early in the season and should not be started week one; in a worst-case scenario where Tyson, Roma Dunay, Carnell Tate, and Deon Stribbling have not broken out by week five, the source indicates a roster overhaul would be necessary, including selling Trey McBride and upgrading at wide receiver.

Insight page

Josh Allen

PositiveValue14:08

Elite quarterback trade target in shallow 10-team leagues. Flock Fantasy recommends acquiring Allen via trade in a shallow format where the team's strength justifies upgrading at QB. Suggested trade packages include: Jaden Daniels + Ibuka for Josh Allen, or Caleb Williams + Teda McMillan for Josh Allen. The source emphasizes that in shallow leagues with strong waiver wire depth (e.g., Marshon Lloyd available), trading for an elite QB like Allen is a sound strategy to consolidate roster strength.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

PositiveValue10:00

In a shallow 10-team, 2-receiver, 1-flex league where the team is already the best roster, Flock Fantasy identifies Josh Jacobs as a waiver wire target with significant upside potential. Despite being ranked behind Michael Pittman Jr. in overall rankings, Jacobs should be prioritized in this format because of the chance that his upcoming court date could result in positive information; the source would pick him up in a heartbeat over Pittman. The source also emphasizes that Jacobs must be on the team because upside is the only thing that matters in this league context. However, if Jacobs receives a 10-game suspension, Marshon Lloyd becomes the trustworthy lead back, which would create flexibility to trade away running back depth for a tight end upgrade. If Jacobs is confirmed to play, the source would prioritize Emit Johnson as the handcuff instead of other options, suggesting Jacobs' injury/availability status is uncertain. Jacobs' availability is pending a hearing; the source recommends waiting for the hearing outcome before making trades involving Marshon Lloyd, as Jacobs' status will determine Lloyd's role with the Packers.

Insight page

Juwan Johnson

PositiveSleeper25:20

Waiver wire pickup recommendation with expanded target share potential early in the season due to Jordan Tyson's absence; the source believes Johnson has a decent shot at making a fantasy difference and should be prioritized over Kaylin Black. However, Johnson is also recommended to be cut in favor of other upgrades (Matthew Stafford at QB, Josh Jacobs at RB) in shallow 10-team leagues where the team is already strong. In deeper formats, Johnson is preferred over Caleb Douglas as a tight end depth option.

Insight page

Keaton Mitchell

NegativeRole11:44

Katon Mitchell is identified as the running back two for the worst team in a Dynasty Superflex 12-team league, indicating he is part of a weak roster. In a separate deep 12-team league context with two flex spots and mandatory three starting wide receivers, Mitchell is identified as a potentially startable running back (fourth option), with the roster's running back depth chart providing solid depth for the league format.

Insight page

Keenan Allen

NegativeValue40:25

Recommended cut; averaged 10.75 fantasy points per game last year but is now in a worse offense this year, making him less attractive than Dalton Concepcion despite similar production levels. The source recommends cutting Allen and picking up Concepcion instead as the better flex option.

Insight page

Kenneth Gainwell

PositiveValue19:30

Recommended waiver wire pickup over Josh Downs in a 10-team league where upside is paramount; the source believes Gainwell would have significant upside if Bucky Irving were to suffer an injury, making him the preferred speculative add.

Insight page

Kenneth Walker III

NegativeRole5:35

Running back on the roster as part of a team's running back depth chart alongside Breece Hall, Bashel Tuton, and Jonathan Brooks. Flock Fantasy describes Walker as an 'okay running back one' in a league where the team's running back room is adequate despite being weak at the top end. The source approves of the overall team construction with this RB combination.

Insight page

Kyle Pitts

NegativeValue26:00

Recommended as a trade piece; Flock Fantasy suggests packaging Pitts with Breece Hall to acquire Trey McBride or a Ravens/49ers tight end, indicating Pitts is viewed as expendable depth in favor of an upgrade at the position. Part of dual Falcons receivers with Drake London, creating concentration risk, though both were able to produce as great fantasy options last year when healthy.

Insight page

Lamar Jackson

PositiveValue15:04

Elite quarterback trade target in shallow 10-team leagues. The source identifies Lamar Jackson as a no-brainer upgrade, recommending trading Jaden Daniels and Deshun Stribbling to acquire him in a shallow format where the team is already the best roster. Additionally, the source suggests Lamar Jackson can be acquired by trading Brian Thomas and Caleb Williams, indicating strong conviction in his value as a premium quarterback upgrade.

Insight page

Malik Davis

NegativeRole34:06

Flock Fantasy recommends cutting Malik Davis in favor of Xavier Worthy at wide receiver; the team has three hammer wide receivers at the top and needs flex-eligible wide receiver depth more than bench running back depth.

Insight page

Marvin Harrison Jr.

PositiveProjection51:51

Marvin Harrison Jr. is characterized as 'a solid wide receiver three' in a PPR league with two receiver, one flex format; he provides depth at the position behind Nico Collins (WR1) and DJ Moore (WR2).

Insight page

Michael Pittman

NegativeValue12:11

Michael Pittman Jr. is available on the waiver wire in a shallow 10-team league and is ranked ahead of Josh Jacobs in overall fantasy rankings. However, in a shallow format where the team is already the best roster and depth doesn't matter as much, Flock Fantasy would prioritize Josh Jacobs over Pittman because Jacobs offers more upside potential tied to his upcoming court date. The source suggests Pittman Jr. is a candidate to cut after Week 1 if Rashad White emerges as the Commanders' full-time starting running back, indicating limited confidence in Pittman's bench value.

Insight page

Mike Evans

PositiveProjection43:40

Mike Evans is part of a strong wide receiver room in a 12-team, start-eight league with full PPR scoring; the source loves this receiver room construction for the format.

Insight page

Mike Washington Jr.

NegativeRole0:46

Running back on the roster being evaluated as part of the team's running back depth chart alongside Jonah Coleman.

Insight page

Nicholas Singleton

NegativeRole15:00

Recommended waiverwire cut despite being on the roster. Flock Fantasy identifies Singleton as the RB3 for the Tennessee Titans in a crowded backfield where Tony Pollard and Taji Spear are also present. The source prefers the upside of Caleb Johnson as the Green Bay Packers' RB2 over Singleton's limited role, stating: 'I think I would rather have the shot at the running back two for the Green Bay Packers with Caleb Johnson than the running back three with Nicholas Singleton.'

Insight page

Nico Collins

PositiveProjection48:08

Nico Collins is a second-round caliber receiver acquired via trade and characterized as 'a solid wide receiver one' in a PPR league with two receiver, one flex format; he anchors the receiving corps alongside AJ Brown.

Insight page

Omar Cooper Jr.

NegativeValue14:50

In a deep 12-team league, Omar Cooper is identified as one of the best available waiver-wire options, but the source recommends cutting him in favor of running backs with higher ceiling potential like Caleb Johnson and Tank Bixsby in bench optimization. The source argues that Omar Cooper has limited upside for ranking jumps and treats the league as a pure redraft format rather than prioritizing long-term keeper value, making him not worth a roster spot.

Insight page

Quentin Johnston

NegativeValue5:50

The source prefers the combination of Quentin Johnston and Jonathan Brooks over DK Metcalf in 12-team league formats, stating both players have upside to outperform Metcalf; the source advises against trading this duo for Metcalf in deeper leagues where waiver wire depth is limited. Johnston is identified as the wide receiver five on the roster and an expendable piece that could be included in a trade package to upgrade at receiver, though his starter status remains uncertain—the source expresses concern that if Travis Etienne Jr. is traded away, the team would be forced to rely on Johnston in flex spots before his fantasy viability is confirmed.

Insight page

Rashee Rice

PositiveRole9:11

Rasheed Rice is evaluated as phenomenal in 12-team leagues and a solid WR2 in 10-team formats, indicating strong positional value in deeper league settings. While the source suggests Rice could be included in a trade package to upgrade at tight end from Tyler Warren to Brock Bowers, acknowledging Rice is 'a lot to do it,' his baseline evaluation remains solid across league formats.

Insight page

Ray Davis

PositiveValue35:46

Recommended handcuff pickup as the direct handcuff to James Cook; the source prefers Davis over Adonai Mitchell, indicating Davis has more upside as a handcuff option in this roster construction.

Insight page

RJ Harvey

NegativeRole18:00

Evaluated as a solid RB3 in a 10-team league; identified as a potential trade piece that could be packaged with Jaylen Waddle to upgrade at WR or RB in a shallow format where depth is less valuable. Also described as 'a good running back three' in a PPR league with two receiver, one flex format, providing solid depth at the position.

Insight page

Tank Bigsby

PositiveValue29:02

The source recommends picking up Tank Bixsby as a running back with upside potential, suggesting he should be prioritized over bench players like Omar Cooper and Hunter Henry in bench optimization.

Insight page

Tony Pollard

PositiveProjection51:04

Tony Pollard is characterized as an 'incredible' running back four option in a PPR league with two receiver, one flex format; he anchors the team's elite late-round running back depth alongside Jordan Mason (RB5), following Jonathan Taylor (RB1), Bucky Irving (RB2), and RJ Harvey (RB3).

Insight page

Travis Etienne

NegativeRole18:00

Evaluated as a solid RB2 in a 10-team, 2-receiver, 1-flex league; part of a solid but not elite running back room alongside Devon Aadyn, RJ Harvey, and Rico Dattle. In a deep league with limited waiver wire talent, the source advises against trading Travis Etienne for a high-end tight end upgrade because doing so would force reliance on unproven backup running backs (Jadarian Price, Quentin Johnson) in flex spots before their production is confirmed; waiting for confirmation of depth RB breakouts before trading is the preferred strategy.

Insight page

Tre Harris

NegativeValue14:50

In a deep 12-team league where the roster is already well-constructed, Trey Harris is identified as one of the best available options on waivers, indicating limited waiver-wire upside in this serious, competitive league where leaguemates know what they're doing.

Insight page

Trevor Lawrence

NegativeRole15:54

In a deep 12-team league with three starting wide receivers and two flex spots, the source recommends punting quarterback and tight end; Trevor Lawrence is cited as one of two quarterbacks (alongside Jared Goff) that can be played matchup-to-matchup in this league structure. However, Lawrence is characterized as being in an 'awkward spot' on his team—not needed as a backup and difficult to trade away for value.

Insight page

Trey McBride

NegativeValue31:54

Flock Fantasy recommends Trey McBride as an elite tight end trade target; can be acquired by trading Jaylen Waddle and Tyler Warren in a shallow 10-team league; positioned as the locked-in starter at tight end with clear role security; contingent sell candidate only in worst-case scenario (week 5) if Roma Dunay, Carnell Tate, Deon Stribbling, and Jordan Tyson all fail to break out.

Insight page

Tyler Warren

PositiveValue4:18

Identified as a realistic tight end trade target in the tier below elite options like Dallas Goedert and Kyle Pitts; the source recommends pursuing Warren or Colston Loveland as upgrades in shallow leagues. In a 10-team format, Warren is expendable depth that could be traded in combination with wide receiver depth to upgrade at tight end (toward Brock Bowers or Trey McBride), though the source also notes Warren is preferable to Dallas Goddard as a starter. Warren serves as the team's starting tight end but is tradeable rather than a core hold in shallow formats.

Insight page

Wan'Dale Robinson

PositiveSleeper0:55

Recommended waiver wire pickup to replace Jaden Reed on the roster; the source prefers him over Reed in full PPR scoring. Also recommended as a priority wide receiver addition in Superflex leagues; source notes Robinson is someone you would realistically start in flex spots in an 8-12 team league format.

Insight page

Xavier Worthy

PositiveSleeper0:25

Available on waivers as a free pickup in 10-team leagues; the source recommends adding him as a depth option given roster strength at skill positions. Also identified as a startable bench player in Dynasty Superflex 12-team leagues and a priority waiver wire pickup that can be acquired by cutting M. Jones or Malik Davis; realistically startable in flex spots in 8-12 team leagues.

0:00Football is here. I have the Texas game on my phone and on the computer. We're going to go through. We're going to look
0:05at your fantasy football teams. This one coming from JFlow has had the fourth pick in a 10 team league where touchdowns are six points. How did we
0:14do? Okay, so let's go through and let's check this out. Right now, we currently are Lamaris. It actually looks like we
0:24did maybe change our team name. We got Jamar Chase at the fourth pick here, which is going to be an interesting
0:30note. This is us right here. We changed her name to Herz Donut. And real quick, I want to go through and look at the
0:37Waverwire in this league. This is a 10 team start format. So, the Waverwire is going to be decent. But yeah, I mean,
0:44you have great names out here right now.
0:46Mike Washington, Jonah Coleman at running back, wide receiver, you could pick up Juan Del Robinson for completely free. And for me, I actually think in a
0:55full PPR league here, I personally would prefer Well Robinson over Jaden Reed. I think that's one of the moves that I
1:03would make with this team, which would be very simple. I would cut Reed. I would pick up Wandale. Going over to
1:09tight end, we have Britain Strange, TJ Hawinson on the waiverwire. So, definitely nothing over God and Jawan Johnson here. But all in all, if we're
1:18going to look at what we currently have set up on this squad, you have the second best wide receiver room, the
1:25fourth best running back room, the fifth best quarterback room, and knowing that there are viable running backs and wide receivers on waivers such as Juan Del
1:32Robinson and Xavier Worthy. I think it would make a lot of sense if we could go through and actually trade for a better
1:38tight end. So, I have both Ibuka as well as Jameson Williams on my own fantasy team. I really like both guys, but with
1:46that in mind, I would be interested in seeing if we could go through and trade Ibuka and maybe get Colston Lovelin. I
1:53know that this sounds crazy, but again, you at wide receiver would still have Chase Mo. Um, you'd be able to throw
2:00running back in the flex like DeAndre Swift. You could then cut both your tight ends and pick up Wel Robinson and
2:06Xavier Worthy for free. So, I wouldn't mind you selling one of these receivers again, like IA for Loveland or Jameson Williams for Tyler Borin. Even if I have
2:18the wide receivers ranked over the tight ends in this instance, you are just so damn strong at the skill positions where you don't necessarily
2:28need the depth because you could go through and you could put these running backs in your flex spots and you could
2:32pick up Wel Robinson for literally free.
2:35So, I would go ahead and again, if I were you, I would just look to make that one marginal trade if you could. Now,
2:42there's no reason for you to trade for a tight end like Dallas GD, like Kyle Pittz. Like, if you're going to go for a
2:49tight end, you want one of those higherend names. Like, I would say maybe Bowowers McBride, but the issue is you just simply don't have
2:58a wide receiver that could be compelling to get to that tier of tight end. So, I think instead you're looking at like
3:04Lovelin, Tyler Warren, but I really appreciate you and really hope that I was able to help you out in some way
3:09here. Fact of the matter is, I don't really think you need our help. I think you have a great team. Now, let's move
3:15this over to Shimos. And I don't know if y'all can tell here, but the devs of flockfantasy.com did actually put out a
3:22pretty big update with the site today.
3:26Obviously, they dropped the Flock Fantasy app um a couple of weeks ago. I think two weeks ago at this point and
3:32now they are redesigning some of the site to look more like the app. And let me know what y'all think of the
3:38redesigns. I am definitely sending a lot of notes to the devs of like minor tweaks that they have to make. Um,
3:58okay, let me send this over.
4:04I had one note I needed to send to the dev team, but Shimos says, "Wanted to know your thoughts on my team and also
4:10put in a trade Quinton Johnson and Brooks for DK. want to know your thoughts on that. So, here's the deal.
4:15If this is a 12 team start format, the depth in this league actually does matter both at running back and wide
4:21receiver. So, with that context, I think I would pretty easily rather have the combination of Quinton Johnson and Jonathan Brooks over DK Metaf because I
4:30would look at both players and I'd actually say both players have the upside to outperform Metaf this year.
4:36So, if it was a 10 team two receiver one flex, then sure, I think we would go ahead and do it. But in a deeper league
4:42like this, especially as we go through and we look at what you have on the waiverwire and there's not much, um, I
4:47don't think we're looking to make a trade there. Now, what I do want to point out for your roster is quarterback's going to be our weakest
4:55position. Obviously, we have the best team in this league. I mean, we can go through and we can see that pretty
5:00easily here. Nobody really comes close to us. But quarterback, we are ranked dead last. We are 12th in this league with quarterback points. We have Bo
5:09Knicks, but there is Matthew Stafford out there on the waiverwire. So, for me, I actually think that Stafford very much is a quarterback that you would play
5:18over Bo Knicks in specific matchups. So, I would personally actually want to be rostering two quarterbacks in this setup. And I think I'm always playing
5:28Harold Fannon over Jawan Johnson. So, for this team, I would cut Jawan Johnson and I would pick up Matthew Stafford.
5:35Then running back, we have the combination of Kenneth Walker, Bree Hall, Bashel Tuton, Jonathan Brooks. So, while Brooks is our running back four,
5:43and I understand maybe he does have some trade value that we could ship to a team that's a little more running back needy,
5:50and Quinton Johnson is our wide receiver five, like these are expendable pieces.
5:54I would just say you need to get to a higher tier wide receiver than DK Mechaf. And then tight end, are we
5:59incredibly strong with Fannon? No. But with it being a 12 team start eight format, I am okay with us here in a
6:06league like this deciding to go through and deciding to build out skill depth the way that we did. But I would cut
6:11Jawan. I would pick up Stafford and then looking at other potential moves that we could make. If you wanted to try that Jonathan Brooks
6:20and Quinton Johnson trade, by all means go for it. But you shouldn't look to get back DK Maf. I think you should be
6:27looking to get back a much better receiver. Like if you can get Tedo McMillan, obviously it's a no-brainer.
6:33Now I understand that's probably not going to be possible and instead you're probably going to be looking at the range of like Christian Watson, right? I
6:40think this would be something that I'd be more interested in rather than Metcap. So like instead of the wide receivers that go in round seven, I
6:49would look at the wide receivers that go at the end of the fifth, the beginning of the sixth if we're going to make that
6:54deal. But uh again, you have the best team in this league. I don't think it's that close either. So realistically, you
6:59don't need to do anything here. Now, the other team that you got says, "Want to know your thoughts on my team and if I
7:06should try anything with this league."
7:08So, this league, we as well have the number one team in this format. It is a 10 team, two receiver, one flex. So, in
7:17a league like this, the depth isn't going to matter as much as it will in that double flex league or in that 12
7:24team format. And on top of this, it is very important to note that we have good players on the waiverwire. Michael
7:31Pitman's on the waiverwire. Josh Jacobs is on the waiverwire. Rashad White's on the waiverwire. Now, specifically when we are targeting waiverwire names in a
7:39league like this or targeting any names in trades, when you are in a shallow format like this is and we already have the best team in it,
7:51like look at our bench where we currently are sitting with Montgomery, Bashel Tuton, Jordan Mason, Cardinal Tate, Deshawn Stribbling where we have
7:59so many guys that we could already put on our bench if we wanted to go through and start one.
8:05I think we need to be optimizing really only for upside and not caring about the floor of these players. So, while I am rocking
8:14the Michael Pitman Jr. jersey and at the same time like technically I have Pitman ranked ahead of Josh Jacobs in our
8:21fantasy rankings in a league like this in which in my opinion we should only care about upside man I would pick up
8:28Josh Jacobs in a heartbeat because there is a chance that we get some information next week when Josh Jacobs now has his
8:34court date and all of a sudden Jacobs actually looks like a very exciting player. So, I would go through I would
8:42cut Jawan Johnson. I would pick up Josh Jacobs. And then, of course, if you could make a two for one deal to get an
8:48improvement one of the onesie positions, we would like if you could potentially trade Jaden Daniels and get up to Josh Allen, even if it means you have to
8:56include Ibuka in it. Your team's so good in this format so shallow, we would go for it. If you maybe sent Jaden Daniels
9:04and the combination of Deshun Stribbling over for Lamar Jackson, it would be a no-brainer in a league like this where you can pick up Michael Pitman Jr. for
9:11free. If you could go through and send Tyler Warren and pick up Brock Bowers, even if that meant you needed to include
9:19like I mean Rasheed Rice is a lot to do it, but I mean hell it would make sense.
9:25And then we could say the same thing about McBride here, right? where if you were to go through it, if you were to
9:30trade Tyler Borin and like Eggbuka to get to McBride, I would absolutely love it. But all in all, man, I mean, you
9:38have a great team. I think we should be optimizing for the highest ceiling possible. I don't really think the depth matters here at all.
9:50But I really appreciate you and really hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this. But almost no matter
10:00what, you need Josh Jacobs on that team just because again the upside's the only thing that's going to matter. Now let's
10:06move this over to Josh. Josh, this is a Dynasty Superflex 10 team start 12 format. So with these league settings in
10:15particular where you start two quarterbacks, two running backs, three receivers, a tight end, and three flex spots, quarterback honestly isn't going
10:24to matter that much. Like quarterback's going to make up a small percentage of our starting lineup output in comparison to a team in which it's a superflex
10:33start 10 format, right? Because you can start six wide receivers here a week. So I really want to attack a league like
10:40this where we are building out through our skill positional depth rather than our top end quarterback production which is exactly what you have done. Your week
10:49one starting lineup here for this team includes Bejon Hampton Jamar Chasen London Concaid Love Watson Bashel Tuton.
10:59Obviously dep going to matter a lot in this league and we have startable players on the bench. Jordan Mason, Matthew Golden, Josh D, Xavier Worthy,
11:06Jaden Reed. Man, this is an incredible, and I mean an incredible team. The 27 first that we have is from the BD team.
11:18Let me see where they are at in the league analyzer. Um, the BD team.
11:26Okay, this is what's insane about this.
11:29The first Oh, Texas Longhorn touchdown.
11:32Hook them horns. Hook them horns, baby.
11:34But anyway, this team here that we have their 27 first, it is the worst team in the league and it's not even remotely close. Their
11:44running back to is Katon Mitchell.
11:47This is going to be the 101. This is going to be the 102. You're going to be able to add Jeremiah Smith. So, hold on
11:52to that 27 first for dear life.
11:57If it was a 10, I mean, if it was a start 10 league rather than a start 12, what I would probably be wanting to do
12:06is I would probably want to try to leverage some of our running back or wide receiver depth to get an upgrade
12:10inside the starting lineup.
12:13But big difference here with this being a start 12 format, with it being a start 12 league, I would rather you just go
12:22ahead and honestly leave your depth as is because you're going to be able to comfortably cruise through the regular season when your
12:31league mates are dealing with depth problems and when your league mates have garbage guys in their lineup due to the by-weeks. But great setup.
12:41Now, you know what I need to do real quick? I need to one, hide that photo that we had for the thumbnail, and two,
12:48I need to message Danny Lad and ask him what time are we streaming Fortnite.
13:03Going to be a super interesting day with the Ladster to say the least.
13:08But tuna fish says, "Wondering what you would change or trade for. I like my team, but not sure if I need to make
13:15moves. PS, the new app is awesome.
13:17Appreciate the hard work. Really appreciate you, my guy, and I'm excited to check this out." So, one thing that I want to point out is, man, you're
13:24playing in a serious league. This is a deep format. This is a 12 team league where you start three wide receivers and
13:32two flexes. So in that instance, like tight ends, quarterback, they don't matter nearly as much. And what matters
13:43instead is just going really deep at the skill positions. So I would be kind of punting QB and tight end here. And to an extent,
13:54you did that with Lawrence, right? You have Trevor Lawrence, Jared Goff. I mean, these are two quarterbacks that we're going to be able to play the
14:00matchups with. Makes a lot of sense here. do like to see it. Then at running back we have Ashton Genty,
14:10David McGomery, Beayshel Tuton, Rashad White, Jonah Coleman, Katon Mitchell, and Nicholas Singleton. So we have one, two, three, three startable guys and
14:21potentially four startable names here as well, which again you have two flex spots and mandatory start three wide receivers. So, I really like what we
14:28have with the running back depth.
14:31Wide receiver, we have Lamb, Rice, Burton, Higgins. So, we have four startable receivers. And even Debo Samuel could potentially be startable in a
14:43format like this. And then we have Tucker Craft, Dallas Goddard. And I actually like having Goddard on the craft build because I could see you
14:49putting Dallas Gutdard in a flex spot.
14:50Like if we go over to the waiverwire, uh, again, this is a very serious league. Your leaguemates know what they're doing. The best options on
14:56waiverss are like Omar Cooper and Trey Harris.
15:02So, um, man, I think you built a damn good team
15:15for these league settings specifically.
15:17Like, structurally, I think you have pretty much the exact squad that I would want.
15:25I don't think that I would really do anything different here.
15:30Maybe just a small waiverwire pivot. I personally would cut Nicholas Singleton.
15:35Like obviously a Tony Pard not that good. Taji Spear is not that good. But Singleton's the running back three as it stands right
15:44now for the Tennessee Titans. And while Caleb Johnson, we have no idea if he's any good at the game of football. He's
15:51probably not. We also don't know that either about Marshon Lloyd. So, I think I would rather have the shot at the
16:00running back two for the Green Bay Packers with Caleb Johnson than the running back three with Nicholas Singleton.
16:08So, yeah, I would go with Caleb over Singleton.
16:13And man, this is a damn good team for this format specifically. Again, um I think you did a phenomenal job with it.
16:22Now, um I see J Schmidt. J Schmidt, I really appreciate you. So, here's the deal, man. Um right now, we are very far
16:29behind on our team reviews and stuff.
16:32So, the only way to get like a free team review to flockfantasy.com is to have the annual Mother Flocker with code flock. Again, I'm sorry. I
16:43know like they're it's not possible to buy one on the site.
16:51Um, but if you have an annual mother flocker with code flock, then you should have a free team review voucher where
16:57you can submit your team to me. But again, hopefully if we get caught up, we can turn the questions back on on the
17:04site where it's easier to submit. But I'm just needing to go through. I'm needing to play catchup with all the questions that have been submitted so
17:10far.
17:13Now, let's move this over to our next one. This is going to be coming out from the Scranton Stranglers.
17:20It's a 10 team, two receiver, one flex.
17:22So, very, very shallow format here. In a league like this, I want to optimize for the top end studs, not care about our
17:28depth, and I would like to have an elite quarterback and elite tight ends. It's a oneplayer keeper league as well. Now, in
17:36terms of where we stand, looks like we did change our team name here. Let me see where we are at now. Um,
17:46change our team name to the Lamb and Rice Special. I actually really like the team name. Have not seen that before, my
17:51guy. But quarterback, we have Jaylen Herz. So Jaylen Herz 12 team league I really like. 10 team format obviously a little bit shakier. Less excited about
18:00him there. Running back we have the combination of Devon Aan, Travis Etien, RJ Harvey, Rico Dattle. So we have a solid RB1 in a 10 team league, solid
18:11RB2, solid running back three, solid running back four. Is it the best running back room I've ever seen? No.
18:16But it's solid. Um, a wide receiver, CD Lamb, solid wide receiver one. Rasheed Rice, phenomenal wide receiver, two and a teamer. Solid wide receiver two and a
18:2610-teamer. Jaylen Wadd, really good wide receiver three. And then we have Quinton Johnson, Mai Lemon, Michael Pitman, Jaden Reed, and then we have Tyler
18:34Warren at tight end. So, if we go through and look at every position here, you have no team needs. You have a
18:42pretty good squad, but it's not phenomenal anywhere. Now, of course, it would be very easy to say that, oh, man, if you can go through, if you could find
18:51a way to trade the combination of like RJ Harvey and Jaylen Wadd and pivot over to an upgrade at wide receiver and get
18:59to a range in which you're able to get like Chris Ave, we would do it in a heartbeat. It'd be very easy to say
19:04like, oh man, if you can take RJ Harvey and Jaylen Wadd and pivot up to a running back like Jeremiah Love, we
19:11would do it in a heartbeat. Um, again, 10 team, two wide receiver, one flux.
19:15These type of trades would be super advantageous for you. My only hesitation is with these league settings, it's going to be tough for you to find a team
19:23that needs that wide receiver depth piece or that needs that running back depth piece. Right. Now, I will say if you are able to make that two for one
19:31deal, um I actually probably would in your instance prefer like Kenneth Gainwell instead of Josh Downs off the waiverwire because again the only thing
19:41that will matter here is upside upside upside and I think Gainwell would have a ton of upside if you were to get an
19:47injury to Bucky Irving.
19:49But I really appreciate you and really hope I was able to help you out in some way. I think it's a very solid team
19:55where you don't really have any needs.
19:57It would be a great team in a 12-teamer, but in a 10 team league, it's fine. Eric says, "Mason, the Longhorns are playing.
20:04Why aren't you there?" I actually have the Longhorns pulled up on the phone right now, my friend, but I have not
20:11gone to a University of Texas Longhorns game since 2019.
20:17And the reason for that is I started live streaming every single day during the fantasy football season in 2020.
20:28So it is sad to say but um during the football season I am very very busy. I would absolutely love to be
20:38at the Longhorns game but today I have the this live stream where obviously we're going through and checking out fantasy football teams. I have the live
20:46stream tonight where we are doing the fantasy football drafts and then I'm actually gonna have to stream on the Mason Dodd YouTube channel where we're
20:52doing the Fortnite thing. So, I would love to be there, but sadly during the football season, I just don't have the
20:59time for it. And also, um, even if I could find the time, if I were to go there and yell for four
21:07hours, I would be risking losing my voice because, again, if I'm talking on the microphone non-stop every single second of the day during the football
21:16year, my voice is already on the brink as is.
21:20Okay, now let's look at this from Dark Crusader. Says, "Picked from the 108 and felt like I had a good draft. How could
21:29I improve? I was thinking of getting a high tight end such as Bowowers or Lovelin and possibly moving either a L
21:37or ETN for him. So, I would say I don't want to do that in this instance unless it's a no-brainer cost. Hear me out on
21:46why. Deep league where your league mates look like they know what they are doing.
21:53The waiverwire doesn't have players like Jell Robinson on it, right? The best wide receiver off the waiver wwire is Keenan Allen.
22:01So your league mates know what you are doing. You're not going to be able to pick up running backs and wide receivers
22:06off the waiver wire for free that are great. It's just not going to be possible here.
22:12Quarterback, you have Jaden Daniels. I like only having one QB in this instance and I like you taking the extra shots on
22:19running backs and wide receivers off the waiver wire. Running back, we have Achan, ET, Jenarian Price, Marshon Lloyd, Rashad White. While we have the
22:28upside of Rashad White to be a starter, while we have the upside of Marshon Lloyd to be a starter, while
22:39we have the upside of Jadarian Price to be a starter, um, we don't have a guarantee with any one of those players.
22:51So, I would rather wait until we actually see that they're
23:04producing.
23:10And then maybe we can go through and then maybe we have the flexibility to send off one of these running backs.
23:24Because wide receiver, you have JS, Olave, DJ Moore, or Quinton Johnson. We don't know if Quinton Johnson's going to be startable either. So, you're going to
23:31have to fill out two flex bots, right?
23:33You trade away Travis ETN for Lovelin right now. Then, week one, you're going to have to have like Jadarian Price and
23:40Quinton Johnson in your flexes. I don't know if you can feel confident with that before we ever see what they look like
23:47this season.
23:49Now, if you wait and we end up getting a Jarian Price breakout, if you wait and we end up getting a Mai Lemon breakout,
23:58or you wait, Josh Jacobs does get hit with like a 10ame suspension and you know you can trust Marshon Lloyd, then at that point, yeah, you can afford
24:10to go out there and trade for a better tight end. I just don't think you can afford it right now because your league
24:14mates know what they are doing and you need to hold on to your running back wide receiver depth and see if we get
24:18confirmation that the depth running backs that we drafted ended up being good. Now, there's a damn good chance that happens, but I mean, we can afford
24:25to just go through and wait until it does.
24:29Now looking at where we stand with potential waiver wire moves.
24:47Okay, sorry.
24:55Let me text my fiance. Just want to make sure nothing's wrong.
24:59She just tried calling me.
25:14Okay. But waverwire moves. I think there is something. I agree. Tight end's very weak. We have no idea if Chig's going to
25:20be good or not. And I think you actually do have a decent shot at Jawan Johnson making a difference. So, I would cut
25:27Kalin Black. We don't exactly know if he's the running back too in San Francisco. And instead, I would go ahead and I would pick up Jawan Johnson
25:41because with Jawan Johnson, he should have that expanded target share early in the season with no Jordan Tyson.
25:51Cut Kaylin Black. Pick up Jawan. Wait to trade for a tight end until you feel comfortable about your running back production.
25:59Now, let's move this over to MLB pitcher.
26:03Longtime member of the Flock. I appreciate you, my guy. Says, "Great to be back, Mason. Feeling all right about this team, but not crazy. Think my
26:10receivers will work. Not sure how I feel about having London and Bejon on the same team. Don't be worried about it."
26:16Again, for me, yes, you made a concentrated bet on the Atlanta Falcons offense exceeding expectations, but London and Bejon were both able to be
26:25great options at fantasy last year when they were healthy, and it's not like the Falcons offense was great last season.
26:34Saying, "Think my wide receivers need work. Not sure how I feel about having Okay. Relies too heavily on the Falcons to play well, but looking forward to
26:41your thoughts, my man. Appreciate you, and I'm excited to check this out.
26:45Absolutely love the team name. I've never seen that team name before. So, it is a two-player keeper league. That is going to be something I want to point
26:52out. So, there may be a discrepancy in value as we go through this. Now, it is a start eight format. So, you do need to
26:58start three wide receivers here weekly.
27:00But, man, I think your wide receiver depth is perfectly fine.
27:04You have London, Jameson Williams, DK Metaf, Jordan Addison. I feel good about those four wide receivers. And that's before we even get to Courtland Sutton.
27:14Now, I know it's a keeper league, so maybe you want to say like, "Oh, okay. I want to have the upside of Omar Cooper.
27:21Um, maybe he breaks out as a rookie, round one NFL draft pick, blah, blah, blah." But here's the deal with that.
27:28It's a 10 team, two player keeper league. There's no way in hell Omar Cooper's like a top three round pick next year that you want to go
27:40ahead and you want to keep. Like I would almost just keep this as a pure reddraft format. We're not really thinking much
27:47here about the long-term value of these guys. So for me, I would cut Omar Cooper. I would also cut Hunter Henry
27:54because neither of these players do I ever see you starting. And I would pick up some of the handcuffed running backs.
28:00I would try to find the next Marshon Lloyd. I would pick up Tank Bsby. I would pick up Caleb Johnson.
28:06Now, if we get news regarding Josh Jacobs in which he's actually gonna play, then I would look at Emit Johnson instead as the handcuff NKC.
28:15And then, yeah, if Lovelin ends up getting injured and if you end up needing to make a pivot, then by all means, you could go through
28:25and you could go right back to the waiverwire and you could look at Britain Strange, you could look at TJ Hawinson,
28:31like they're the same quality tight end that you have with Hunter Henry. So, I really like the team. I think you
28:37drafted a damn good team for this format. I personally would not be concerned about having two Atlanta Falcons. Now, I would optimize the
28:45bottom end of the bench a bit. See if you can hit on one of those players that jumps 60 spots in rankings.
28:52Like, let me go through and let me pull up Marshon Lloyd and see like how he's risen in our rankings since the Jacob stuff. Like,
29:02look at this. Look at the rankings history on Marshon Lloyd.
29:07Just absolute massive rise. This can't really happen with Hunter Henry. Nothing can happen for him to jump up like this.
29:15Nothing can happen for him to jump up.
29:19Sorry. Nothing can happen for like Omar Cooper to jump up like this. So, I would again pick up the running backs like
29:27Caleb Johnson, Tank Bixsby, cut the combination of Omar and Hunter Henry, and then I would just leave the rest of the team as is. I really appreciate you.
29:36Let me make sure you have some other free questions, my guy. I know you've been with us forever now. And yeah, I
29:42really appreciate you sticking with us for so long.
29:45Now, let's move this over to our next question, which is going to be coming out from Marshmallow.
29:51Now, we are God of War in here. We're in the middle of this league when it comes to value. And man, first thing that I
29:57see is Marshon Lloyd's out there on the waiverwire. You have to get him.
30:03You have to pick up Marshon Lloyd right this second. Like, cut Dallas Goddard.
30:07You're never starting Dallas Goddard over Tyler Warren and go pick up Marshon Lloyd. First move I make. The other thing is I would throw Rashad White out
30:17there on your watch list because if we were to be in a situation in which he looks like he's just the full-blown
30:24starting running back week one for the Commanders, there's a chance after week one you want to cut Michael Pitman Jr.
30:29and pick up Rashad White.
30:32Now quarterback, we have Caleb, we have Brock Pury. We can just play the matchups between them. Running back, we have JT James Cook. Wide receiver, we
30:39have Neighbors Wadd. we have Tyler Warren at tight end and in the flex spots we have Teda McMillan and Jaylen Warren and then when we go down to the
30:47bench we have like Pard, Quinton Johnson, Michael Pitman or we're gonna have Marshon Lloyd. So I mean obviously this kind of goes without being said but
30:53in a shallower or 10 team league like this. I always do like just throwing out the possibility of like oh could we make
31:02a play and could we get the true elite quarterback? Could you trade Caleb and McMillan and get Josh Allen? Because again, you have guys sitting out there
31:10on the waiver wire for you that are completely free, such as Marshon Lloyd.
31:14Could you go through and could you trade the combination of Tyler Warren and then another one of these wide receivers or
31:20running backs? Say the combination of No, you're not going to be able to go running back there, but maybe again Jaylen Wadd and Tyler Warren and pick up
31:29Brock Bowers. Could you go Jaylen Wadd and Tyler Warren and pick up Trey McBride? Like again, just because it's a shallow format and you have a damn good
31:39team, it's kind of a no-brainer for you to just go through and make that deal.
31:48And outside of that, I would definitely make the pivot where you just go ahead and pick up Marshall Lloyd for free. So,
31:52we see what happens with Jacobs and we have potentially a starting running back for the Packers on our team for free.
31:57But, I really appreciate you and really hope I was able to help you out in some way. And I will say as well, if you end
32:02up being able to like trade for Josh Allen here, I would also then at that point just cut the backup quarterback
32:09with Brock Party and then pick up like Rashad White for free as well.
32:14Okay, now let's pull this over. Snipedia says, "Offer Leaporta and Tuton for Coulson Lovelin, but he didn't bite yet.
32:23Any other moves or pickups to improve the squad?" Thanks. Thank you, my guy.
32:27And first thing I want to point out is we do have the best team in this league.
32:30The second thing I want to point out is you 100% know what you should be doing here with traits as you are crushing
32:38your league mates with the depth at running back and wide receiver. Like currently our team is so good and so deep that if we go down and we look at
32:46our bench, our bench has Jakori Kroski, Jordan Mason, Mike Evans, Brian Thomas, Deshawn Stribbling. So, if you get the ability to sell one of those flex pieces
32:56like Bay Shell Tutin with Leaporta to go ahead and get the significant upgrade at tight end, by all means, we want to do
33:03it. I mean, you are already going down this path. So, I know I'm not necessarily helping that much or like reinventing the wheel. I would say the
33:10same thing like if you could get the upgrade act quarterback, right? Like if you could go Bay Shel Ton and Caleb
33:15Williams to get to Josh Allen, this is a deal that you could afford. If you could go with the combination of like um let's
33:22see oh depth wide receiver Brian Thomas and Caleb Williams and potentially get over to Lamar Jackson I think that would be something that could be interesting
33:30as well just because you have the best team in this league. Now, the one thing that maybe makes it tough to like be
33:39willing to make a deal in which you blatantly lose where you know there's a strong loss in value after you make
33:47the trade is the fact that the waiver wire is pretty weak in this league, right?
33:56Team we looked at right before this had Marshon Lloyd and Rashad White out there on waiverss. in your league here, there
34:03aren't those super solid options. So, I would still look to make those two for one deals. You already have the best
34:10team in the league. You already know this is what you want to do. Um, but it can't be like make it under any move
34:17necessary because again, the waiverwire is kind of buns.
34:22Now, let's pull this over to big dogs.
34:25says, "Any suggestions on the team and potential moves with either trades or free agents?"
34:32Okay, so we are the sixth team in the league analyzer. So, um, first things first, man, you have to make a change
34:39with your quarterback strategy.
34:42Assuming this truly is a one quarterback format, which maybe it's not. Maybe you start two QBs here because I will say
34:49there are literally no quarterbacks on the waiverwire. But if this is a one quarterback league where you can only start one quarterback a week, you have
34:59to cut Sugar Sanders, cut M. Jones right this second and pick up Wandell Robinson and Xavier Worthy. Now, even if this is
35:09a super flex league where you could start up to two quarterbacks each and every week, then at that point, I would
35:15still decide to cut at least M. Jones and pick up Juan Del Robinson because we don't have a wide receiver for here.
35:24Now, I maybe am a savior worthy apologist.
35:29Maybe I'm an idiot. I will say that. But I would even if it's a Superflex league and you cut M. Jones and you pick up
35:39Wandale and then if it's a Superflex for I'm fine if you want to hold on to Sher Sanders.
35:46I would go ahead and I would probably cut Malik Davis and pick up Xavier Worthy as well as again while you have
35:52three hammer wide receivers at the very top it's a start eight 12 team league so you are able to get some of these wide
35:58receivers in your flex spot like Wendell Robinson is somebody very realistically you would be starting here but definitely at the very minimum you
36:10are cutting Malik Davis you are cutting M Jones you're picking up Juanale and Savior worthy if it is a one quarterback
36:17format and not a superflex league. You are also going to be cutting Sher Sanders and you're going to be picking up
36:24um Jacobe Meyers. You're going to make those three moves. You're going to have sick wide receivers on this team which will put you in a much better situation.
36:34And then honestly, I don't think you want to make any trades after you make those waiverwire pivots. I think what you're going to see with the League
36:41Analyzer is your team's going to gain a tremendous amount of value for literally free.
36:50So yeah, I appreciate you, my guy. I think again the free agent moves is what you need to be focusing on with this
36:57squad. I'm pretty confident in saying that as well. Um I don't think you need to stress too much about trades. I we
37:02think we need to build out that wide receiver depth with just free pickups.
37:07Now, what's brewing coming through um with our next one? And real quick, do we have Bitter Hornet out in the chat real
37:17quick? Bitter Hornet, if you were in the chat, please let me know.
37:24But anyway, what's Brewing says, "Hey, Mason, first team review of the season.
37:28Excited to check it out for you, my guy.
37:30It's great to be back, man. Let me know what you think about the squad. I feel like I might need to upgrade the wide
37:34receiver too slot, but the rest seems fine. Appreciate all the help and good luck in the flock league, brother. Hook them horns. Hook them horns, brother. We
37:41got the Longhorns playing right now. Um, yeah, I don't know what this translates to. It looks like it's maybe Mandarin.
37:52Maybe it's Spanish. I don't know. I I did fail Spanish class.
37:57Now we are aching my mind. We are in the middle of the league here according to the league analyzer and we are just
38:06rostering so many damn wide receivers.
38:09Now if it was a two receiver, one flex format, I would say, man, this is garbage. You got to cut some of these
38:14guys. With it being a double flex, I understand you going through and you prioritizing wide receivers on the bench because if you do hit on somebody like
38:24Deon Stribbling, obviously he can spike in value and he can move the um needle for you meaningfully in the flex. Now
38:35going over to where we stand with the options on waiverss though, man, you do have pretty interesting handcuff running backs.
38:46We have Brillin Allen. We have Ray Davis. The direct handcuff to Bree. The direct handcuff to James Cook.
38:55For me personally, I would way rather have these guys over Adenai Mitchell.
38:59And if you want to hold on to Cyrus Allen in a league in which you can start four receivers, by all means do it. But
39:04at the very minimum, I'm cutting Adenai Mitchell, who's at best the third option in the New York Jets offense and at
39:10worst the fifth option in the Jets offense. I would cut Ady Mitchell and I would pick up Brilan Allen right this
39:15second. Especially with Breece dealing with a groin injury, while Brace looks like he's good to go for week one, there is that outside chance that he does
39:22reagravate it.
39:25And while I understand like wide receiver to Ziffy with Roma Dunce, Carnell, Tate, Jehan dribbling, Jordan Tyson, these guys have late season
39:34upside, but we probably can't trust them right away.
39:40If we look at our starting lineup, week one, you're able to throw these running backs in there. You can throw Quinn Sean
39:46Judkins in a flex and then Cardell Tate in your second flex spot isn't the worst thing in the world. Like there's no
39:51world in which I'm putting Adie Mitchell in there over him. So what I would do in the short term here is I would cut some
39:58of the receivers at the bottom and pivot over to some of the premium handcuff running backs trying to find the next
40:03Marshon Lloyd.
40:05In the long term, if the complete disaster happens, which the complete disaster by the way is Roma Dunay, Carnell Tate, Deon Stribbling,
40:15Jordan Tyson, none of these guys have broken out and we're sitting in week five.
40:21Then at that point, you're going to have to sell Trey McBride. You're going to have to pick up a better wide receiver
40:25and then you're just going to go to the waiverwire and you're going to pick up Daltton Concaid. Actually, speaking of Dalton Concincaid,
40:32who would I rather have in my lineup?
40:37Would I rather have Keenan Allen or would I rather have Concaid? Last year, Keenan Allen 10.75 fantasy points per game. He's in a worse offense this year.
40:47Last year, Dalton Concade 10.51. I would probably rather have Concaid in that flex spot in comparison to Keenan. So, I would cut AD Mitchell. I'd pick up your
40:56preferred handcuff running back. I would cut Keenan Allen. I would pick up Dalton Concaid. See what the setup is for Cyrus
41:04Allen early on. And if you do like the Cyrus Allen week one role, then you can keep him. If not, you can go ahead and
41:11cut him. But yeah, like I understand you're never starting Concaid over McBride. But I think realistically concaid could be a viable flex option
41:19for you.
41:21Now, let's pull this over to our next one. This is going to be from Jango Aan. Just let me know what you
41:30think. Let me look at this. So, we are the third team in the league analyzer.
41:35So, the starting lineup requirements for this team.
41:40Two receiver, one flex. So, two wide receiver, one flex. We don't need to worry too much about the depth of the
41:45skill positions. And we have four startable running backs. We have Chase Brown, Devon Achan, Brie, and Marshon Lloyd. So for me, the play that I make
41:54with a team that's as strong as yours where obviously we have the wide receiver depth as well. Diggs is our wide receiver four, Pierce wide receiver
42:01five, Conception wide receiver six is man, I think Breece Hall, you do have the leverage point to potentially move off of him and see what you can get.
42:14Like if you could go through and if you could potentially say sell Bree Hall and the combination of
42:25Kyle Pittz and get in your starting lineup Trey McBride.
42:30I think that would be very advantageous assuming Marshon Lloyd is good to go as the Green Bay Packer starting running back.
42:38So again, these would be the offers I'm sending out because you hit on Marshon Lloyd, assuming Jacobs is suspended or assuming that his hearing doesn't really
42:49work out. I would offer Pitts and Bree and see if we can get over to Bowowers or McBride. I don't think you do this
42:57today. I think you actually instead decide to wait until we end up getting the hearing done
43:06for Josh Jacobs.
43:12But once Jacobs has his hearing and we should have more information regarding his availability and the usefulness that we have of Marshon Lloyd, then at
43:23that point I think Bree Hall may become expendable for you. though. That would be something I'm 100% keeping on our radar.
43:31Now, let's pull this over to Colin.
43:34Says, "Hey, Mason, just did a draft, had the fifth pick. Five teams took double running backs in the first two rounds.
43:40Don't think the team is horrible, but just wanted to hear your thoughts. Love the content, man, and good luck this season." Good luck, my friend.
43:49Okay, so here's the deal.
43:52You can start four receivers in this league. There are two flex spots and it's a full PBR format.
43:59So, I wouldn't stress about having the number one wide receiver room in this league.
44:06Right now, according to the league analyzer, we are sitting with the combination of Puganua, Malik Neighbors, Christian Watson, Mike Evans, wide
44:21receiver four, and Marv is the startable guy as your wide receiver five.
44:28Man, I love this wide receiver room for this format. And while running back maybe is a little bit weak at the top
44:34end, like actually it's not even Deion.
44:37DeAndre Swift's a good running back too.
44:39Kenneth Walker is an okay running back one. And then we have Lloyd and Jonathan Brooks's depth. This is the perfect
44:49and I mean this is a perfect team from a construction standpoint for this league. 12 team start eight.
45:00There's a reason that you have the league analyzer breaking in your favor like this.
45:06The like and you have Jawan. I know you punted tight end, but again, this is the kind of league in which you would want
45:13to punt tight ends.
45:18So, I want you to keep this exactly how you have it. I don't want you to make any adjustments whatsoever. Now, if we
45:24get to week five and we have all of a sudden the combination of both Jonathan Brooks as well as Marshon Lloyd crushing,
45:35then at that point, sure, by all means, go ahead and look at trading one of your running
45:46backs like Jonathan Brooks and seeing if we can get a better tight end. But I don't think you want to be doing that
45:52right now. I think as of September 5th, I think we would rather sit on our hands than wait to make sure
46:01we hit on one of these running backs because while Brooks and Lloyd both have upside, neither of these guys are guarantees. So there is a very realistic
46:09outcome here in which like one of them hits, one of them fails
46:20and we actually kind of needed to hold on to one of them so we had a running back three.
46:29But I really appreciate you, man. I think you have a great team. I think it's built exactly for this format and
46:33you knew exactly what you were doing.
46:36Now I'm him coming through with our next question says picked third in the draft number one Gibbs then number two Bejian
46:42obviously then maybe overthought going Cook but I love the Bills and he felt safest.
46:52Wait, you're telling me you took James Cook out of the threehole, traded Bucky and Godwin for AJ. So,
47:06here's the deal.
47:10Even if, in [snorts] my opinion, you made a really bad call in going through and deciding to send I mean, spend your third round. I mean,
47:24your third overall pick on James Cook.
47:34It's going to work out for you regardless given the fact that you just robbed your leaguemate with a deal.
47:47Yeah. Looking at this, the trade calculator literally has, it's hard for you to see. I have to expand all the way
47:53over here. The trade calculator has you trading Bucky Irving and AJ Brown labeled as you're robbing him deal, which are trades that like almost never
48:00get done.
48:05God dang. So now you have James Cook, Devon Chan, which both of these guys are late first, early second rounders. AJ
48:13Brown, Nico Collins, which both of these guys go in the second round, all on the same team.
48:21Where are we in the league analyzer? We are right here as the third team.
48:26It is a double flex format. So, quarterback, tight end, doesn't matter that that much. We have at quarterback Burrow and Lawrence. So, obviously, we
48:33don't need Trevor Lawrence, but also Lawrence is in an awkward spot in which it's not like you're going to be able to
48:39go through and trade a ton for him. I'm sorry, trade him for a ton, right? you are just kind of sitting pretty with him
48:45on your team.
48:48Running back, we have the combination of James Cook as well as Devon Achan.
48:53We have JK Dobbins, Brian Robinson as depth. So maybe the running back depth here isn't great. Wide receiver, we have AJ Brown, Nico Collins, Garrett Wilson,
49:01Alec Pierce, Trey Tucker. We also have Caleb Douglas.
49:07For me, I would rather have the upside.
49:09I would rather have Keenan Allen over Caleb Douglas to be honest. I personally do think that's a pivot that you should
49:14make.
49:16And then we have Jake Ferg at tight end who is all right. Is he incredible? No.
49:20But he's all right. Um which I'd rather have Jawan Johnson there over Caleb Douglas as well. So, I think looking at this team,
49:34you got lucky that one of your league mates sent you a deal of a lifetime.
49:40And now at this point, the only real thing that you should do is optimize the bottom end of your roster with the
49:46waiver wire because the weakness of the squad is going to be the depth that the team has. But you can very easily
49:52backfill that depth with waiverss if you just stay on top of things.
49:58But I really appreciate you and really hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this, my guy.
50:05Now, um, Langless, for whatever reason, oh, maybe it's because I'm not doing this on Google Chrome. We're going to skip over the best ball portfolio stuff
50:13today. Now, Crazy says, "I wish I went stronger on wide receivers, but I kind of got trapped taking best player available and running backs go fast
50:23because it's always been standard instead of PPR before this year." here.
50:26What do you think? So, I mean, if you just changed the league settings in your league from nonPPR to PPR and your
50:34leaguemates weren't smart about making the adjustment and your league mates decided to stick with it as is and they continue to hammer in running backs as
50:42they done in previous years. If that led to you getting a ton of wide receiver value, I wouldn't complain about it.
50:49But, it is a two receiver, one flex, so the depth at wide receiver or running back is not going to be that important.
50:55Quarterback, we currently have the combination of Bo Knicks as well as Jordan Love. Completely fine going through and playing the matchups with
51:01these two QBs. Right.
51:04Running back, we have Jonathan Taylor, Bucky Irving, RJ Harvey, Tony Pard.
51:19So, running back, we have two guys. I mean, Jonathan Taylor's a smash at running back one. Bucky Irving is a solid running back, too.
51:30RJ Arvey's a good running back three.
51:32Pard and Jordan Mason are incredible running backs four and five. I mean, so you're in a really good spot when it
51:37comes to your running back depth with the team.
51:41Wide receiver, Nico, solid wide receiver one. DJ Moore, solid wide receiver two, Marv solid wide receiver three. And then we do have the elite tight ends with
51:51Brock Bowers. So, man, this is a great team.
51:55There's really not much to discuss with a team like this. I really do like the fact that we have Bowers in a league in
52:02which you only star two receivers and one flex. I think it makes a ton of sense to invest into the elite tight end
52:08in this setup particularly.
52:12So, I would honestly at this point look at the squad and go, I think you drafted a good team. There are no holes.
52:20Now, if one of your league mates becomes desperate at running back and they're willing to give you a significant wide receiver upgrade by you trading him away
52:27Tony Pard, like if you could somehow someway make a deal where you send like Pard and Ted, I mean, and Marvin
52:34Harrison for Tedella and McMillan, any of these trades where it says you're robbing your league mate, then by all means make the trade. But the team's
52:42drafted extremely well.
52:45the team set up very nicely to the point where you definitely don't need to do anything. You definitely could leave this as is and be a-ok. Okay,
52:54but I really appreciate you and really do hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this.
52:59Now, let's move this over to our next question.
53:03This next one's going to be a best ball portfolio coming from Rise. Let's see if this will load in for us. We're on
53:08Safari instead of Google Chrome. I don't know if it's going to load on Safari, but hey, it does work. Now, we got some
53:14overlapping pills and everything, but we can just zoom out on that real quick.
53:19But anyway, Riseu says, "Been watching your channel for a few years now. Really appreciate you, my guy. Always enjoy tuning in and appreciate all you do. Is
53:26Jawan Johnson the skeleton key this year?" Well, here's the deal, man. I mean, at the cost you have him at, you
53:33have Jawan Johnson at an average pick of 150.
53:37Currently, an ADP of 139. obviously a massive riser given the Jordan Tyson injury stuff. So, I mean, if I could go
53:45back and if I could replicate what you did here with Jawan Johnson, I 100% would love to do so.
53:53Now, we also have Pat Bryant as one of our most drafted guys. We've gotten 22 picks of ADP value on him. Debo Samuel,
54:01Dantavian Wixs. So, I mean, it looks like you absolutely crushed your drafts when it comes to getting value this year.
54:10Now, structurally, I do want to narrow this down to only looking at the 18 round drafts. It does look like we knew
54:19100% what we are. Like, this is literally the perfect, and I mean the perfect construction portfolio, only two to three QBs, only two to three tight
54:28ends. We are sometimes getting weird.
54:30We're mixing in some four running back builds. We're mixing in some seven.
54:36We're mixing in some six receivers.
54:38We're mixing in some nine wide receivers. So, yeah. I mean, this is about the best that it gets when it comes to the construction standpoint.
54:51Your exposures look great. Obviously, we're targeting these stacks as well.
54:56Man, I think you absolutely crushed this year.
55:00Like, honestly, I'm sorry. I don't think there's much to discuss here because I think you did such a damn good job with
55:06this team.
55:08I wish I had a bunch to discuss here. I wish I had a lot to talk about, but I really don't.
55:14I really appreciate you and I know I wasn't able to help out, but I think you really didn't need my help. I'm wishing
55:20you the best of luck and also hopefully um it goes without saying based on the underdog news today, it is still
55:26available in the state that you are in.
55:30Now, let's pull this over to our next question. It's going to be from Jason says, "Lost in the final last year. What
55:41do you think we could do to upgrade my team?" Side note, Texas State did just find a way to score against my Texas Longhorns.
55:53And um I actually need to send this to my brother Oh, my fiance just text me apparently.
56:10Um, one year ago today is when I proposed to my fiance. So, let's get a W in the chat for that.
56:35My little brother literally could not care less about football. He My little brother could not name five players in the NFL.
56:42Um and I'm texting him. Um don't mean to brag, but I I went to University of Texas. He is going to Texas State. said,
56:50"But UT is putting quite the beatdown on your Bobcats right now."
57:02Okay.
57:06Now, Tonym says, "Mason, would you let Puganua date your daughter?" Now, this is a phenomenal question, right? Because I would say most people would probably
57:15say no, they would not let Pukanua date their daughter. But if it meant that Puka Nukua was going to be giving me
57:23insight information that I could go ahead and leverage with my fantasy football drafts, I would
57:32consider I would consider the exchange.
57:37Okay.
57:39Now Jason says, "Lost in the final last year. What do you think I could do to upgrade my team?" Okay. We're the number
57:45one team in this league. It is a double flex format. So your skill personal depth is going to matter. And we have
57:51Bowowers and Daniels, which honestly this does scare me. Looking at our starting lineup week one, we have Jaden Daniels, Bejan, ETN,
58:03Rice, McMillan, Bowers, Marv, Quinton Johnston. So here's going to be the problem with this team and here's going to be the concern with this team.
58:10Obviously, as it stands right now, you have the best team in this league. Let's be on the record in saying that.
58:17But if you don't have some of these depth pieces hit, like worst case scenario, if
58:28Marv, Quinton Johnston, Dobbins, Rashad White, all of these guys turn out to be unusable, then you're going to be in an awkward
58:38situation where you actually may end up needing to sell Brock Bowers. You may end up needing to sell Jaden Daniels.
58:46Now, I'm definitely not doing that right now. I'm definitely going to be waiting because there is a chance that Quinton Johnson and Marvin Harrison are both
58:54startable. And then in that case, you just have the best team in this league and nobody comes close to you. But the
58:59concern, if there was one with your team, is 12 team double flex where it looks like your waiverwire options are pretty mid.
59:09Maybe you end up needing to sell a quarterback or a tight end if those flex names don't play out. I don't want to do
59:16that right now. I would 100% want to wait before making that decision, but that may be something that we need to monitor over the next I mean the
59:27first three to four weeks and be quick to put Bowowers on the trade block and see if we can just go through and pivot
59:33over to like a Malikite neighbors if we needed to build out our wide receiver room more. And then obviously in that
59:39instance we would just be kind of streaming these tight ends or playing CHIG off um the bench. But I don't think
59:46you do anything right now. I think you just kind of chill right now and you see what happens um early in the season with
59:54your depth pieces because as of now you have the best team in your league. The only thing is I'd be concerned a little
59:58bit for the long term with the flux. Now moving over to Lucky Bolts. This entire league insists that they are win right
60:06they're win now. Should I be trying to down tier for depth or what? Here's the deal, man. I don't think you need depth
60:11in a league like this. This is a dynasty superflex league where you only start two receivers and two flex spots. So,
60:18this really does have like the starting lineup requirements a little bit more like a reddraft format as opposed to a true dynasty league.
60:29Now, quarterback, we have the combination of Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford.
60:41Quarterback's going to make up a very high percentage of our starting lineup output here weekly.
60:48So, I think it is very important to have top end QBs. We don't have a notable third option at the quarterback
60:55position. Not going to be the end of the world, of course. Not going to be the end of the world.
61:02Running back, we have CMC, DeAndre Swift, Jordan Mason as our running back three. The depth at running back is crap, but the top end production is
61:12incredible. Wide receiver, we have Puka, Jefferson, Ibuka, DJ Moore, and then the depth beyond that is crap. But the top end is incredible. Again, this team has
61:23CMC, Puka, Jefferson on it, where if we're looking at reddraft leagues right now, these are three round one picks.
61:34Tight end, we have Sam Laaporta.
61:40So, if we go through and look at your starting lineup, man, this is an incredible team for this season.
61:48We are currently sitting number two in terms of the power rankings for this year. So, I think you should push your
61:55chips in the middle. But you kind of already done that, right? You've already pushed your chips in the middle to try
62:01to win this season.
62:04We traded away our 27 first. We have a second and a third. But here's the deal.
62:08I don't want you to trade for depth right now.
62:11Because while yeah, you could go through and you could trade away your second round pick and you could bring in a
62:16depth piece at running back because it looks like running back's pretty bad on our roster, what happens if you trade that second and a third to bring in a
62:24depth piece at running back and then all of a sudden Puganua gets injured and then you're like I a crap I guess really
62:32I needed the depth piece at wide receiver but I already sent those rookie picks away for the running back depth.
62:40And then if you were to just stay healthy when it comes to what you get with McAffrey and DeAndre Whip, maybe
62:47you don't need running back throughout the entire year. So there will be a point this season that yes, you should trade for depth in this league. There'll
62:55probably be a point in which you go through and you trade your second and a third for like Travis Ten. You trade
63:01your second and a third and you get back I mean if your league's really playing hard ball, you only get back like
63:07Devonte Adams. But if you were making that trade or like here's the deal, you trade that second and the third now to
63:13get a running back that you may end up not needing and you get an injury to Sam Leaporta, you could be cooked.
63:22So you need to wait. You need to wait to see what you actually need during the season and then trade for the depth when
63:29something pops up because you have no depth at running back, wide receiver, or tight end, which could work out in your
63:34favor. It could be completely fine, but I definitely want to wait before we make that call. So, really good team. And
63:40yes, again, I want to reiterate, make a deal, get additional depth, but wait until we're halfway through the year. That way, you know what position
63:49you need to be trading for.
63:52Now, let's move this over to another Dynasty team. This is actually the same one from Lucky Bolt with the same exact
64:00message. Is this the same team here?
64:02Yeah, this is the same exact team. So, um, we already went through that. So maybe the site just made a mistake
64:08accidentally doing it twice.
64:10Now our next one's going to be from JB says, "Let me know what you think of the team. Besides your walk or hate, not all
64:17of us can get two first round picks.
64:18Much love, my guy." Um, let's go through and let's pull it up. So this is a two receiver, one flex, so the wide receiver
64:24depth is kind of meaningless. Also, I would like to have a good quarterback.
64:27I'd like to have a good tight end with these league settings. Quarterback, we have Dak Prescott. We don't have another QB. Looking at the waiverwire, I
64:36honestly think there is a world in which by the time we get to week five, Kyler Murray is ahead of Dak Prescott in my
64:44rankings.
64:46I think that is a possibility. Is it super likely? Of course not. But because Kyler is like by far and away
64:55the best quarterback on the waiverwire in my mind, like the next best QB is Malik Willis, who doesn't come close to Kyler in my
65:04opinion.
65:07Then after that, it's Cam Ward, who doesn't come close to Kyler.
65:17I would actually want to roster Kyler and I think you could play the matchups between him and Dak Prescott. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the
65:24world. So I would cut Emit Johnson. I would pick up Kyler Murray.
65:30Then running back, you'd still have CMC, Kenneth Walker, DeAndre Swift, Marshon Lloyd, Tank Bsby, Emtt Johnson. Now, if you're rostering him at Johnson because
65:37you're like, "Hey man, I have Kenneth Walker and I love having my running backs handcuffed." If that's your argument and that's your reasoning, then
65:45sure, you can keep him if you want. But I would still cut Tank Bakes and I'd pick up Kyler Murray. But running back,
65:52you're in a great spot. I would say if Jacobs ends up getting suspended and we see week one, week two, Marshon Lloyd
66:00look pretty good and it looks like you can trust him, then at that point I think it's very clear what you would
66:06want to do. you'd want to try to send like DeAndre Swift and Tucker Craft to go get maybe a true elite tight end. Or
66:14maybe you send DeAndre Swift as well as a wide receiver like Roma Dunay.
66:25Oh, sorry, wrong side to put Rome. Um, you send like Swift and Rome to see if you could pivot over and get up to a
66:33wide receiver like call it Rashid Rice.
66:38But I don't think you want to be trying to sell the running back just yet. I think you want to wait to confirm that
66:46Tank Bsby is a viable play. No, no, sorry, not Tank Bsby. That Marshon Lloyd is a viable play for you. Once you get
66:53that confirmation, then at that point it does give you an additional running back that is expendable. You can then look at
67:00making an upgrade at running back or tight end. And then outside of that team looks great, man. I would cut Bigsby or
67:07Emit Johnson. I'd pick up Kyler and then I would roll into the season as is and see what happens with Lloyd and
67:15see if you get that additional value at the running back position.
67:21Now, let's pull this over to our next team. This going to be from Mcloven.
67:25Says, "We have the 103 and was worried about getting no running backs, but somehow Robinson fell. Dear God.
67:33Here's the deal. I'm going to be honest with you. Your leaguemates are idiots.
67:38They have no idea what they're doing."
67:41Honestly, not so much for Bejon falling to the 103, which is crazy in its own right. But the crazier thing for me is
67:49somehow you were able to get both Drake London and AJ Brown at the 23 turn in a 12 team format.
67:59So you have the combination of the anchor with Bejon
68:08and then the wide receivers.
68:16of Brown, London, Wilson, you have Scataboo running back, too.
68:24Man, this is literally the perfect team.
68:26It is legitimately the perfect team.
68:32There's not a single thing I do with this team, by the way. You're leaving it as is. Now, maybe, just maybe, in the
68:39future, like if you were to get RJ Harvey and Chuba Hubard as the full-blown starting running backs and they're both of their
68:47respective values and they and backfields and they both shoot up with value, then at that point, maybe we explore the possibility of you going ahead and you
68:57selling one of the running backs with Harold Fanning and getting a true elite tight end, But that's definitely not something that
69:09we're worrying about right now.
69:13I think you have an incredible team. I think it's the best team in the league, which the league analyzer clearly agrees
69:18with, and you clearly know 10 times more than your league mates. I would leave this as is.
69:25I wish I had more for you, but I don't.
69:27Now, Matrix says, "Any trades you think I could do to make my team a little better?" Okay, we are McBride's maids
69:35with this team. First things first, looking at the waiverwire. Jordan Tyson is somebody that if you have an injured reserve slot, you need to pick him up.
69:44You need to throw him in the IR. It is an absolute no-brainer. Now, if you don't have an injured reserve slot, then
69:51in that case, I am fine with you deciding, okay, well, um, I'll just add them on my watch list, and then in weeks
69:58two, three, or four, I'll pick them up.
70:00But you don't need to roster him right this second if you don't have that IR slot. But again, Tyson has the upside in my opinion to be a top
70:0915 wide receiver in fantasy in the second half of the year. So, I 100% be looking at him.
70:17Quarterback, we have Justin Herbert.
70:21Herbert completely fine. I like him more in a 12 team league than a 10 team league.
70:28And oh crap, we are way frozen here. Let me pull this over.
70:36I apologize for that, ladies and gentlemen.
70:41I just now noticed that we are frozen. I am sorry, chat. I hadn't looked at y'all in like 10 minutes. But anyway,
70:49looking at running back, Barkley Swift, Judkins, it is a two receiver, one flex format.
71:00So, the depth here doesn't matter much.
71:02Wide receiver, we have Puka, Neighbors, Watson, Brian Thomas. I love the fact that we have the elite tight end with McBride. And honestly, with you having
71:11the elite tight end with McBride, I think I would cut Isaiah likely regardless for the purpose
71:20of rostering Jordan Tyson.
71:28And then once we get Malik Neighbors producing, like say Neighbors comes in week one, he's immediately a top 10 wide receiver and you go, "Hey, I know this
71:36is somebody that I could go through and I can trust rest of season at that point. I do think 100% you have
71:51the expendable value to go through and try to sell like Christian Watson and Justin Herbert to get to a top- end
71:56quarterback like Lamar, but I would just rather wait to see that Malik Neighbors is producing in that instance. though.
72:02The only thing that I would do right now is I would cut Isaiah likely, pick up
72:10Jordan Tyson. If Tyson is IR eligible and you have an IR in your league, I would move Tyson to the IR. Then I would
72:18honestly not even pick back up Isaiah likely. I'd rather have a handcuffed running back like Mike Washington because you have McBride. You don't need
72:24the backup tight end.
72:30And then once Neighbors proves himself healthy, then you can trust him as a top 10 wide receiver rest of season. Then at
72:37that point, I probably would go ahead and I would look at leveraging a wide receiver to see if we can get a QB
72:42upgrade.
72:46Now, let me pull over our next team. This is going to come out from Austin. Says four player keeper team. All the running
72:54backs get got pushed. Okay. All the running back get kept pushing Tutin and Swift to my first. Okay, I have no idea what that
73:03meant. Okay, four players keeper per team. So, I guess a bunch of running backs were kept.
73:11Okay, all the running backs got kept which pushed Beel Tuton and DeAndre Swift to being my first and second round picks. Okay, that makes a lot more
73:19sense. I'm sorry that I'm an I mean I I am illiterate.
73:25Now looking at the mistake that you made was taking Marv over Lamar. Definitely a mistake knowing it's a two receiver one flex
73:34league.
73:36If I knew Addison and Quinton Johnson would so far I would have taken Lamar.
73:41Yeah. So here's the deal. In a two receiver, one flex league, you're for sure going to have wide receiver depth that you can very
73:48easily get late. Right. Looking at our team, let me see what the squad is currently. We have Man, I was expecting this team to be so much
74:00worse. Literally so much worse.
74:05Let me see where we're at. Um, so starting lineup, we have Caleb, Chase Brown, DeAndre Swift, London Rice,
74:13Loveland, and Bay Shell Tutin. The depth pieces we have on our bench, RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman, Marvin Harrison, Jordan Addison. Running through the options on
74:25waiverss currently you do have Katon Mitchell which Katon Mitchell and Tank Bakesby are the direct handcuffs to Amari and Hampton and Saquon Barkley
74:37while Roshan is like the handcuff right now for DeAndre Swift once Kyle Bengai is
74:47back in obviously it's not going to be the Roshan Johnson direct handcuff appeal forever.
75:02Okay.
75:22quarterback. We have the Caleb Lovelin stack. Like again, two receiver, one flex format. I would like to have the elite QBs and tight ends. But here's the
75:30problem with it. You're not going to be able to go through and sell like RJ Harvey and Lovelin to get to McBride.
75:37You're not be able to sell Jordan and Caleb to get to Lamar.
75:42So, like long term, those aren't the types of moves that I would want to make. The types of moves that I would want to make
75:50would be trying to leverage some of these depth pieces when you have so many of these startable names such as like
75:55Marvin Harrison and Beay Ton to see if we can get to a top end flex. Like, if you could go Marvin Harrison and be shelon to Chris
76:05Lave, obviously it's a no-brainer, but it's going to be much easier said than done. If you could go like Bay Shell
76:11Tudin and Marvin Harrison or say Beel Tudin and Jordan Addison and instead pivot over to like Lad Mani, it would be appealing as well just
76:23because again you have so many of these startable names in a league in which you can only get five total skill positions
76:30in there.
76:32So any deal you make here, it better be a two for one trade. I would cut Roshan for Katon Mitchell or Tank Bsby. I agree
76:42with you. Yeah, I think you probably should have just drafted Lamar instead of Marv knowing that the depth was going to be very easy to come by in this
76:48format in particular.
76:51But yeah, I think that's all I got for you.
76:57I really appreciate you and really hope I was able to help you out. I was worried based on your message that your
77:02team was going to be bonds, but it was actually pretty good. Now, let me pivot over and let's get some trades going.
77:09So, here's what we're going to do real quick. Um, I'm going to look at these trades, but before we get to these
77:14trades, let me send somebody on the site a free season pass for hanging out with us here. I need to set up the giveaway
77:22real quick.
77:24Okay, let me do this right now.
77:33Okay, we just set up the season pass um giveaway. So, if y'all want to enter in to win a free flockfantasy.com season
77:40pass, just go down there, drop a like on this live stream, and then type the word season pass into the live chat and then
77:47we'll go ahead and we'll give this away right now.
77:53Let me pull up the wheel of names and we're going to since people are just entering right now, it will for sure be
78:01somebody who is in this live stream currently that ends up winning it. And you should have a decent chance to as
78:08well because instead of there being like a thousand people that enter, there'll be like a hundred. I'm just giving it a
78:13minute or two for people to get their usernames in or their season pass things in. So, um, because I know some people
78:20watch this in like a five minute lag, some people watch this on a two-minute lag, blah, blah, blah. Um, so I want to
78:25give them a little bit of time. Some people have this on a computer, need to pull out their phone.
78:31Okay.
78:45Now, let me grab the link.
78:50Let's throw it in here. And let's spin this wheel.
78:58Okay.
79:03Inco7989.
79:06Inco7989.
79:09Please let me know in the live chat right now what your flockfantasy.com username is. I'd be happy to go ahead and check it out for you. I'm sorry, not
79:16check it out for you. I'd be happy to go ahead and get you set up with a free season pass.
79:22Now, we the people says in ooh, you know what I need to do right now?
79:31I need to change something.
79:40Okay.
79:44way. Commands, integrations, timers. Oh, yeah. This what we need to get rid of. Yeah.
79:53Okay, perfect. Fix that.
79:58But let me see if we can find Inko in the chats.
80:02We'll take one second, but let me answer these. We the people says, "Is this worth it? Look at his running back room.
80:07It's an eight team single flex." You're saying start nine.
80:15Puka to Jamar Chase. Slight upgrade.
80:17Kiran Ian Herbert to Jaden Daniels.
80:22If it is a super flex, man.
80:26I know his running back room's desperate. I would rather have your side. I think if you're saving him here at running back, he better be giving you
80:33something better than this.
80:36Better be better than this. Okay. Inko, just got you, my friend. I'm going to go ahead and send this over to Sammy to set
80:44you up with the free season pass.
80:47Appreciate you hanging out with us in this live stream. We'll do another spin of the wheel later in the stream.
80:55Okay.
80:57God dang. You know what I'm going to get for lunch? Maybe we eat this on a live stream. We'll do a live review for
81:02y'all. Getting two spicy Chick-fil-A deluxe sandwiches. Oh, sounds good. Now, Tai South is trading away Toutin. Golden Doss for Bucky Irving. Golden and Dobs
81:14have very marginal value. I'd rather a Bucky over Toutin.
81:19Let me The big thing is who do you pick up off the waiverwire?
81:24The wide receivers off the waiverwire would be Omar Cooper and Travis Hunter.
81:28So, if that's the case and it's a deeper starting lineup, then I'd probably just go ahead and keep the toot and golden and do side.
81:39Now, yes, Services Mason, I noticed on the app I can't sort by my ranks. I will go ahead and send this to the dev team
81:47as well. Again, if you ever notice anything with the app that you're like, "Hey, this isn't set up on the app
81:53that's set up on the website. I need help here." Um just email supportflockfantasy.com and the dev team would be happy to go
82:02ahead and fix it for you. Now ba trading away swift and a lav for jarian price and nico to price upgrade swift jarian
82:11price downgrade very very fair trade and it's literally just going to be up to you here.
82:17I think you can make a strong argument for either side.
82:21Okay.
82:23Now Rick Min is trading away Jeremiah Love to upgrade to Justin Jefferson or Jeremiah Love and Bowers for Jefferson and like picking up Remadre Stevenson.
82:35These tiny pieces like Ray Davis and Jawan Johnson are literally meaningless in this deal. Literally meaningless. So would you rather have Love and Bowers or
82:45would you rather have Jefferson and Aradre?
82:49I think it's a fair trade and I think it's up to you. But what I really want you to stress is for the love of God,
82:54don't think that Jawan Johnson or Ray Davis mean anything at all in this trade. Question comes down to would you rather have Jeremiah Love and Bowers or
83:01Jefferson and Armadre.
83:03It is truly up to you.
83:07Okay.
83:08Now, Crazy trading away Pard and Mar for Garrett Wilson. Um, your running back room does not need Tony Pard. So, yes,
83:15you go get Garrett Wilson here. I don't think it's that close. Jaylen trading away Trevion and Justin Jefferson for Jonathan Taylor.
83:23So I have JT and Jefferson, right? But here's the deal, man. Your league is pretty deep. It's a 12 team start
83:31format. So if Trevon does indeed end up startable, if he does end up being a wide receiver, too, and you make this
83:41trade, it's going to suck.
83:48So, I would go ahead and I would hold on to Trevian Henderson and Justin Jefferson.
83:59Now, Envy trading away Chase Brown for Travis CTN and Trent McBride.
84:08Two receiver, one flex. We have garbage tight ends right now. I would probably do this deal.
84:14Every running back injured in New Orleans outside of ETN.
84:24Okay.
84:28Yeah, we go McBride and ETN here.
84:37I Colts trading away Mai Lemon for Dejon dribbling. I would rather have Lemon.
84:44While yes, scribbling is at all the hype. Lemon dealt with the hamstring injury, yada yada yada.
84:58The end of the day, Mai Lemon was so much of a better prospect coming out of USC than Deshawn Shribling was. So much
85:06better.
85:07Now, Stone the Stone trading away Devont Smith for Kairen Williams. It is a dynasty format where we need help at running back
85:20and we have a ton of wide receivers. So, yes, I think it's pretty clear I'd rather just have Kairen here.
85:27Josh trading away Jadarian Price and George Pickins for Higgins and Garrett Wilson.
85:34Pickins to Higgins down tier. price to Wilson up tier. What's your running back room looking like? Running back, you're fine. Wide receiver, you're fine. Yeah,
85:41I mean, I'm fine with you making this trade either way, but it could be a massive L on you. You could be giving up the two best players
85:50in this deal. That is very it's very much possible.
85:58Okay.
86:01Now, Alucus is trading away. Jadarian Price as well as Igbuka for Malik Neighbors.
86:10Running back. You have three viable names. You are taking on a risk.
86:15If Jonathan Brooks turns out to be useless, it's probably not a great trade for you.
86:23But up tiering to Malik Neighbors looks damn good in that instance. If again Jonathan
86:35Brooks is fine, but Bitter Hornet, I really appreciate you, my guy. Let me make sure. I don't know how many reviews, vouchers, and stuff you have in
86:43your account, but let me make sure I send you over a ton. That way, you don't have to worry about anything this year,
86:50my guy.
86:51Okay. So, say Mason Bitter Hornet trying to shore up running back three. I know you're swamp would like a team review
86:57when you get a chance. Just sending you over that free team review voucher, my guy. Again, I really appreciate you as
87:02always and excited to look at this. So, here this trade would be JMO to DeAndre Swift. I have Jameson Williams in the
87:10flock league. I would be happy to trade him for DeAndre Swift personally.
87:15Running back Rashad White to Shahed.
87:18Obviously, it is sad giving up Rashad White. I don't think Shahed really matters at all in this instance.
87:38It's a tough deal. I think I do it just with the Kyle Bungai injury.
87:44I really like Jameson Williams, but I don't think JMO can be a wide receiver one in fantasy this year. And I think
87:51DeAndre Swift can be a running back one if Manungai misses like the first month of the season.
88:01So yeah, let's go with the DeAndre Swift side of this now. Lockwood trading away Buck Irving Malik Neighbors for Derrick Henry and
88:10Devonte Adams. Neighbors to Henry, up to you. Bucky to Devonte Adams, up to you.
88:16Fair deal up to you.
88:19Really not much to discuss in this instance. Fair deal and just whatever side you prefer the 2v2 for. You're up tiering at running back, down tiering at
88:28wide receiver. Now, NY isle trading away Darnold to uptier to Lawrence. This is a superflex dynasty league, so a pretty big uptier. The starting Patriots
88:39running back guaranteed to Javvante.
88:42and a lav to Quinton Johnston.
88:52Calculator has this as a win for the Trevor Lawrence side. But here's the deal.
88:57If this is an eight team start 12 format, the superflex aspect doesn't matter much. If it's an eight team
89:07league, everybody can easily have four starters.
89:13So, I wouldn't want to overreact here and I wouldn't want you to go through and like make a dramatic tear up to go and
89:30get Trevor Lawrence.
89:33Now, if this is a league in which instead you are getting to start three quarterbacks a week, then sure, let's do it. But if
89:44it's like a 12, a start 12, eight team league, quarterback doesn't matter much.
89:50You would actually rather build out through the skill positions. So, it's a very interesting and very unique setup based on the league settings.
90:00Okay. Now NY trading away may indulge for Burrow and Pitts.
90:10I would rather May here if it's a four-point passing touchdown format.
90:13Six-point passing touchdown lead. Give me Burrow.
90:17Now Jad Tusi trading away Kairen Marshall and Lloyd. Malik Neighbors for Barkley and Spears.
90:25Neighbors to Barkley up tier. Kairen and Lloyd. Like I don't think you can do this. I think you need to leave it with
90:30the neighbor's side. Now, what would make it a lot closer is if you take out Kairen Williams and you take out Taji
90:38Spears, then hell yeah, I would do this deal. But I don't think you need to be including Kairen to get it done.
90:45Now, Lords asking, is it worth the upside shot considering my team? It's a two receiver, one flex format where you're fine at running back. So, yeah,
90:54man. I think it is because worst case scenario Jaka Kroski Merritt and Jordan Addison turn into a zero.
91:04Are you really that down bad? I don't think so.
91:09Now Payton Manning is trading away RGV Carnell Tate Matthew Golden for Trey McBride.
91:19Okay.
91:45I don't see why this would even be remotely close. What does your leaguemate possibly have on their team where they would give you McBride for
91:51this?
91:56I legitimately don't understand this at all.
92:01You go Trey McBride and again it's not close.
92:05Sammy trading Devont Smith Jaylen Model for Brock Bowers. Here's the deal. It's an eight team league.
92:15If it's an eight team format, hell yeah. The wide receiver depth is super easy to come by. Just go get the
92:22elite tight end.
92:24Infinite says, "Trying to upgrade at running back. Think I can take the risk with neighbors." I appreciate it.
92:29Appreciate you my friend. Lamb to Hampton down tier. Javvante to neighbors up tier.
92:42It all comes down to your risk tolerance.
92:45It is a 100% a fair deal and it is 100% going to be up to you. Obviously, I am not smart enough to figure out exactly
92:52what the situation with Malik Neighbor is going to end up being.
92:58But I will say if it's a 10 team, two
93:08receiver, one flex, the floor doesn't matter that much.
93:18And if you are just chasing the ceiling here, you do have the ceiling shot
93:32with Malik.
93:37And then I would very clearly rather have Amari and Hampton over Javante.
93:41Now, Elway trading away Chase Brown, Chris Ave for Jamar Chase. It's a 10 team start nine format. So, 10 team league makes you think, oh, okay, this
93:50going to be a shallow thing, but no, if instead it is a start nine format, you actually do need to think about the
93:57depth here somewhat.
94:00Now, our current running back room, we'd have CMC, Swift, Henderson, Brooks, Marshon Lloyd. So, with you having five startable running backs, then hell yeah.
94:10I mean, might as well go out there and in a 10 team league get the best player.
94:15Again, is it the easiest move in the world? No, I don't think so because it's a start n format, so you have those flex
94:23spots that we do need to fill out, but getting to Jamar Chase does make a lot of sense. You're paying up for it, don't
94:30get me wrong, but if you're getting to a receiver like Jamar Chase that can just straight up win you your league, I think you should
94:43have to pay up for it.
94:47Okay, now our next one's going to be from Minia Gooa. Trading away Jeremiah Love, Devontto Smith for Chase Brown.
94:57leftover receiver, you would have JSN, Justin Jefferson, Christian Watson, Quinton Johnston, and it's a 10 team, two receiver, one flex where the depth
95:06doesn't matter. So, yes, go ahead and get the best player in that instance.
95:10Now, Taibug is going to be trading away Walker, Brian Thomas for AG Brown, and Rasheed Rice. I think the upgrade from
95:18Brian Thomas to Rasheed Rice is way larger than the downgrade from Walker to AJ Brown.
95:25So, yes, I would go ahead and yes, I would make this move.
95:30Okay, now let's
95:38go ahead put the team reviews back on.
95:43Isaac says, "Is Trevian Henderson a start week one?" I am somebody who likes Trevian Henderson. I am somebody who thinks that Trevian Henderson has a lot
95:51of upside.
95:53But with that in mind, there is a 0% chance that you could get this dude in your starting lineup week one. Literally a 0%
96:04chance.
96:08He didn't even practice today. We're a week away from the season. Remadre Stevenson has been told that I mean we've been told all throughout camp that
96:17Remadre Stevenson's the guy. So there's no way you could go through and you could start Trevian Henderson the first week of the season.
96:27Now let's look at this from Nua Mata says, "What's up Mason? Just drafted this team as my league's reigning champ." Well, good luck my friend.
96:36Thanks to you in the flock app. worried about my running back two situation with Scat and just wondering what you would
96:41think of the team overall. So, let's pull this up. So, it's a start aid format, so the depth here does matter.
96:49And with the depth mattering, again, I am not the biggest of fans of going through and making a pretty aggressive move at quarterback
96:59and tight ends, but we did here. We have Lamar Jackson and we have Coulson Loveland at QB and tight end. Now, what
97:06I like is while we have the top end quarterback and while we have the top end tight end, what we've also done is
97:15we have no backup QB, no backup tight end. So, what we focus in on instead is optimizing the bottom end bench with a
97:27skill personnel guys at running back and wide receiver.
97:30Running back, we have the combination of Chase Brown, Cam Scataboo, Raadre, Jaylen War, and RJ Harvey. So,
97:42you have five potential startable running backs. So, I understand maybe you're a little concerned with Cam Scataboo, but does it matter much
97:54if like Raadre may end up being your running back too anyway? If Warren may end up being your running back too
98:00anyway, I think you're going to be fine.
98:02Wide receiver, we have Puka, Devonte Smith, Brian Thomas, Alec Pierce.
98:07And I think the depth matters at running back where I don't think you should look at trying to make a two for one deal
98:14where you try to leverage like Jaylen Warren and Brian Thomas for a wide receiver upgrade right now. Because again, while we have a lot of these
98:22depth pieces and while we are taking our shots, it's not like we have any guaranteed studs here. So, I would rather go into
98:31the season as is. I think structurally this makes a ton of sense.
98:49And I probably don't want to make many adjustments.
98:52Like if we end up getting like Raandre Stevenson as the starter and Jaylen Warren as the starter in his backfield, then at that point, sure, take Cam
99:00Scataboo and send him with Brian Thomas and get an elite wide receiver. But I don't want you to make that two for one
99:06tier up in a double flex league like this until we actually officially have word that those depth running back twos and threes that we have are going to
99:18work out. So, I would leave this as is for now, my friend. Now, Max Envision says, "Wun my home league two years in a
99:26row with a lot of help from the content." So, I really Okay, I'll say real quick, man. Winning backtoback years is literally incredible.
99:32Unbelievable. So, I really appreciate everything you put out. How do you think I did in this superflex league? full PBR start to flex.
99:44Okay, let me pull something up here real quick. So, super flex format. Start nine league. So, this is a very serious
99:53league. So, the fact that you've won here two times in a row makes it that much more impressive. And looking at
100:00your current team, according to the site, you do have the best team in this league. And it's not that close either.
100:06Now quarterback, we have Jaylen Herz, Brock Pertie, Bryce Young, literally perfect in a superflex league. Solid QB1, high upside QB2, and then a
100:14quarterback three that we can start if need be.
100:19Running back, we have Jamir Gibbs, Derrick Henry, and then we have the depth pieces of Raandre, Marshon Lloyd, Rashad White, and then we have
100:27handcuffed guys with Keat Mitchell, Naji, and Roshan. Wide receiver, we have Neighbors Wilson, Christian Watson, and then tight end, we have KD. And then we
100:34also have Jawan Johnson where KD's not viable early coming off the torn Achilles. We could potentially start Jawan Johnson early.
100:42So man, this is an incredible team across literally every single position.
100:48I think there are some minor adjustments that I would make here at the very bottom end of the roster. I think I
100:55would most likely cut Roshan Johnson now that it looks like DeAndre Swift is fine. And I would most likely pick up
101:02Caleb Johnson.
101:05Okay.
101:14Now, looking at wide receiver, there are no real waiverwire pivots that I would want to make, but man, you just
101:26freaking crushed this so much. Literally the only thing I would do with this team is I would cut Naji and Roshan, I'd pick
101:32up Caleb and Ray Davis and then if Marshon Lloyd hits and say Jacobs gets suspended, then at that point you have expendable running back
101:42depth where I would probably look to trade like the combination of Readadre Stevenson and Garrett Wilson for a straightup elite wide receiver. Like you
101:51would have so much expendable value at the running back position.
102:14I'm trying to think with this man.
102:19I think you make the small waiverwire pivots. You have the best team in this league. It's not even remotely close.
102:23And then if you hit on those depth running backs that you have, you go ahead and take an extra depth running
102:27back with your wide receiver two and you go and try to trade for a wide receiver one. But incredible team and I think
102:33you're in a really good spot and you have a a lot of flexibility with it. Now let's look at this from Motherfaka says,
102:42"Great to be back. Thank you for everything you do, sir. Love the draft assistant by the way." Hell yes. Love to
102:47hear that, my guy. I sadly had to punt the tight end position, which was not great for a 10 team league, and this
102:53league is hard to trade in. I want to win this league so badly. How do I look?
102:57Well, I'll say real quick, League Analyzer has you as the best team. And man, yeah, damn. This is a tough spot to
103:04be in because your league, you are going to be able to crush your leaguemates with running back and wide receiver bench pieces where Mai Limmon, Rashad
103:14White, these names are sitting out there on the waiverwire currently. Like obviously phenomenal phenomenal players like in terms of the upside that they
103:24have. Um, quarterback we have Jaden Daniels.
103:31Running back we have Chase Brown, Genty.
103:33We have Judkins as a solid running back three. Wide receiver we have Puka Smith, Tedoa, Mike Evans, Pitman, Jordan Tyson.
103:39I'm assuming he's on the IR. If he's on the actual bench, then you would go ahead and cut him and pick up Mai Lemon.
103:45And then tight end, we have Daltton Cade and Mark Andrews.
103:51I know you're saying it's difficult to trade in this league, but man, if you could send the combination of Tedo and McMillan
104:01as well as Concaid and pivot over and get Lovelins, it would be a no-brainer because then you could just pick up Mai Lemon for
104:09free. So, the calculator says you lose this deal, but then if you can just go over to the Waverwire and pick up Mai
104:14Lemon for free, then it balances it out.
104:17Like if you could somehow someway go through and sell like Mike Evans and Dalton Concincaid and get to Tyler Warren, it would be a literal no-brainer
104:27for you. Because again, maybe I'm sorry, not Jaylen Warren, Tyler Warren, I meant um because again, regardless of what the calculator says here, you would be able
104:36to backfill Mike Evans easily with Mai Lemon. And with that knowledge, it's just an easy win.
104:46If you could sell the combination of like I I wouldn't maybe we look at quarterback if you go Daniels to get to
104:57Josh Allen and you just need to throw in like Tedo and McMillan this may even make sense because again while it says
105:02you lose in the trade calculator if you get to pick up Lemon for free let's go for it. So, like you do have these like
105:09ways that you can just abuse your league mates by knowing that there are quality players on the waiverwire where if you
105:16had the ability to sell like one of your wide receiver depth pieces and just overpay for a quarterback or overpay for
105:22a tight end and then pick up the Mai Lemon of the world off waiverss for free, man, it would make a ton of sense
105:30and it kind of is a cheat code. So, you have the best team in this league. You don't necessarily need to do anything.
105:35But if I was going to do anything, that's what it would be.
105:40Now, I am freaking starving and my fiance is going to get here any minute with my food. So, I'm going to end this
105:48live stream here and then I am most likely going to um what's it called? I'm going to end this
106:01live stream here and I am going to eat dinner, walk the dogs with the lady, and then I am probably going to be doing our
106:09draft live stream much earlier today than we have been because I'm going to be doing a Fortnite live stream on the
106:16Mason Dodd YouTube channel with Danny.
106:18And I think we're going to be doing that at about 900 PM Eastern. So, if I'm doing that at 900 PM Eastern, I cannot
106:26be streaming the draft at 900 PM. So, we're going to be uh streaming the draft stuff much earlier than usual, probably
106:35in about an hour and a half. So, come out to that if you want to get in the $500 draft. And then at like 900 p.m.
106:40Eastern, so like 6:00 p p.m. um PST, everything in between, we're going to be live on this channel, the Mason Dodd
106:48channel. It's like my burner YouTube account where 99% of people who watch this stuff, they won't be interested, like my chicken sandwich rankings and
106:56tears video. But um it'll be live here with the Fortnite live stream so we can prepare for the Jinxy tournament that we
107:07have. But I think that's all I got for you ladies and gentlemen. I really appreciate you. Obviously I'll be live tomorrow, the next day, the next day,
107:14the next day answering more fantasy questions. Um, yeah, but I really appreciate you and
