Player analysis
Player insights
Amari Cooper
NegativeValue0:39
Amari Cooper is cited as a highly drafted player in the portfolio who saw his value decline over the course of the off-season.
Insight pageBijan Robinson
PositiveValue22:23
Bijan Robinson is considered an easy start. In trade scenarios, the source prefers him over packages involving Jaylen Waddle, though notes that acquiring him while Cooper Rush is the starting quarterback can be a difficult ask.
Insight pageBlake Corum
PositiveValue19:29
The source suggests that if Blake Corum develops into a startable asset, he should be placed on the trade block to leverage his value, given the existing depth at the running back position.
Insight pageBrian Thomas Jr.
NegativeProjection22:46
The source recommends Brian Thomas Jr. as a wide receiver start but notes he carries a high fantasy ceiling alongside a low floor.
Insight pageBrock Purdy
PositiveProjection60:10
The source prefers Brock Purdy over Drake Maye for the remainder of the season, citing concerns regarding the Patriots' offense and the impact of AJ Brown's injury on Maye's fantasy outlook.
Insight pageCaleb Williams
NegativeUsage8:41
The source suggests that if a roster already includes Caleb Williams and Jordan Love, drafting a third quarterback is unnecessary and inefficient for roster construction.
Insight pageCarnell Tate
NegativeUsage45:23
The source advises avoiding starting Cardell Tate in his first NFL game.
Insight pageChase Brown
PositiveValue14:21
The source views Chase Brown as a solid, predictable fantasy asset acquired via trade, contrasting his reliability with the uncertainty surrounding Tank Bigsby, who is in a 50/50 backfield split with Chris Rodriguez Jr.
Insight pageChris Bell
NegativeDepth Chart15:45
The source recommends cutting Chris Bell to open up roster spots for higher-upside waiver wire targets, specifically suggesting Jonah Coleman as a replacement or using the spot to add quarterback depth like Baker Mayfield.
Insight pageChris Rodriguez
NegativeUsage42:02
The source advises against starting Chris Rodriguez Jr. in week one because he lacks pass-catching ability, is not an explosive athlete, and offers no fantasy upside.
Insight pageChuba Hubbard
PositiveRole90:23
The source is moving Chuba Hubbard up in rankings to be the primary running back for Carolina in week one, citing market projection data that favors him over Jonathan Brooks.
Insight pageDeVonta Smith
NegativeValue49:27
In a standard two-receiver league, the source suggests considering selling DeVonta Smith to upgrade at tight end, though he remains a valuable piece in double-flex formats.
Insight pageDrake Maye
NegativeProjection60:10
The source expresses concern regarding Drake Maye's rest-of-season outlook, citing a poor season opener, ineffective play-calling, and the injury to AJ Brown, which negatively impacts Maye's fantasy projection.
Insight pageJ.K. Dobbins
NegativeUsage16:13
The source advises against starting J.K. Dobbins, citing his lack of pass-catching involvement, his role in a full-blown committee with RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman, and a tough matchup against the Chiefs. The source is skeptical he will hit 10+ fantasy points and prefers Marshon Lloyd over him.
Insight pageNegativeUsage30:30
The source advises against starting JK Dobbins, citing his lack of pass-catching involvement, his role in a full-blown committee with RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman, and a tough matchup against the Chiefs; the source is skeptical he will reach 10 fantasy points.
Insight pageJadarian Price
PositiveBreakout48:23
The source highlights Jadarian Price as a running back with long-term upside potential.
Insight pageJalen Hurts
NegativeProjection10:07
The source ranks Jalen Hurts as the QB4 for the week, acknowledging he is a viable start but ultimately preferring Josh Allen.
Insight pageJameson Williams
PositiveUsage43:31
The source recommends starting Jameson Williams in the flex position over Javonte Williams due to his big-play upside and high-scoring offensive potential.
Insight pageJavonte Williams
NegativeUsage14:21
The source expects the team to slow-roll Javonte Williams into action following missed preseason and camp time. He is ranked as RB24 for the week and faces a tough game environment against the Chargers. While he is considered a known quantity in fantasy, the source suggests other options like Jameson Williams or Luther Burden III may be preferred in the flex spot.
Insight pageJayden Daniels
PositiveProjection8:57
The source prefers Jayden Daniels over other quarterback options due to his rushing upside, despite acknowledging he is in a tough offense this week. If a roster already includes Daniels and Matthew Stafford, the source advises against drafting a third quarterback, suggesting the roster spot is better used on a wide receiver.
Insight pageJayden Higgins
NegativeInjury46:15
Jaden Higgins suffered an ACL tear, causing him to lose significant fantasy value and leaving drafters who invested heavily in him in a difficult position.
Insight pageJaylen Warren
PositiveRole61:17
The source recommends starting Jaylen Warren, expressing increased excitement for him due to the Pittsburgh Steelers' favorable game outlook against an Atlanta Falcons team struggling with quarterback issues.
Insight pageJeremiyah Love
NegativeUsage21:36
Jeremiah Love is expected to play through an ankle sprain, though the source notes he may not receive a full workload. There is significant concern regarding his role due to his recovery from a torn Achilles and missed practice time. Despite this, the source recommends starting him over Tyler Allgeier due to superior talent, though he is considered a less favorable start than Luther Burden III or Jameson Williams.
Insight pageJonah Coleman
PositiveSleeper7:20
Jonah Coleman is recommended as a strong waiver wire target due to his profile and potential for increased usage if J.K. Dobbins suffers an injury. The source also notes that Coleman significantly increased in value after the initial drafting period.
Insight pageJonathon Brooks
NegativeRole11:42
The source views Jonathan Brooks as a bench stash with high-ceiling potential compared to Tony Pollard, but is moving him down in rankings due to uncertainty regarding his role as the starting running back for Carolina and a lack of market projections for week one.
Insight pageJordan Love
PositiveValue8:41
The source recommends adding Jordan Love to rosters for quarterback depth and future potential, noting a non-zero chance he goes 'nuclear' in a given week; however, the source also advises that if a roster already contains Caleb Williams and Love, drafting a third quarterback is inefficient.
Insight pageJosh Allen
PositiveProjection10:07
The source ranks Josh Allen as the QB3 for the week and recommends him as a start over Jalen Hurts, noting that if you draft Allen, you should commit to playing him weekly.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveRole48:23
The source considers Kenneth Walker a startable running back early in the season.
Insight pageKyren Williams
PositiveValue57:52
The source advises against panic-selling Kyren Williams following his season opener performance. He remains the same player he was at draft time; fantasy managers should only consider re-evaluating his status if he splits usage 50/50 with Blake Corum in week two.
Insight pageLadd McConkey
NegativeValue63:34
The source views Ladd McConkey and Tee Higgins as being in the same tier, noting there is not a massive gap between the two players for trade evaluation purposes.
Insight pageLuther Burden
PositiveUsage12:01
The source consistently recommends starting Luther Burden III in the flex or wide receiver spot over Malik Nabers and Javonte Williams, citing a favorable game environment, high-scoring potential, and better roster stability.
Insight pageMalik Nabers
NegativeInjury12:01
Malik Nabers is currently a game-time decision; the source advises moving him to the flex position to maintain roster flexibility for pivots if he is inactive. In specific lineup decisions, the source prefers playing it safe with Jaylen Waddle or Zay Flowers over the risk of starting an uncertain Nabers, though he remains a better start than waiver-wire options like Cardell Tate or Jakori Cross.
Insight pageMatthew Stafford
NegativeUsage8:57
The source suggests that if a roster already includes Jayden Daniels and Matthew Stafford, drafting a third quarterback is unnecessary and the roster would benefit more from an additional wide receiver.
Insight pageOmar Cooper Jr.
NegativeValue46:48
Omar Cooper lost a significant amount of fantasy value due to a disappointing performance during training camp.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
NegativeUsage5:10
The source recommends starting Quinshon Judkins over Chris Rodriguez for week one, stating the decision is not close. While the source previously noted a 33% investment in Judkins as a high-risk strategy, they acknowledge that if he emerges as a top-five running back, the payoff would be significant.
Insight pageRachaad White
NegativeValue0:39
The source identifies Rachaad White as one of the most drafted players in their portfolio who experienced a decline in value over the course of the off-season.
Insight pageRashee Rice
NegativeValue0:39
Rashee Rice is included among the most drafted players in the portfolio who lost value as the off-season progressed.
Insight pageT.J. Hockenson
NegativeValue0:39
The source identifies T.J. Hockenson as one of the most heavily invested players in the portfolio who experienced a loss in value near the end of the off-season.
Insight pageTank Bigsby
NegativeUsage10:46
The source offers conflicting views on Tank Bigsby: he is recommended as a start because the Jaguars are 8.5-point favorites, which should lead to consistent rushing opportunities, but he is also flagged as potentially unusable in fantasy due to a 50/50 backfield split with Chris Rodriguez Jr.
Insight pageTee Higgins
NegativeValue38:21
The source views Tee Higgins and Ladd McConkey as being in the same tier, noting there is not a massive gap between the two players for trade evaluation purposes.
Insight pageTony Pollard
PositiveValue23:33
The source views Tony Pollard as a viable short-term fantasy asset with a higher floor than Jonathan Brooks, specifically recommending him as a start against the Jets, despite noting he is less intriguing than David Montgomery.
Insight pageTravis Hunter
NegativeBust6:50
The source considers Travis Hunter a failed fantasy investment, labeling him a 'garbage pick' due to the expectation that he will play exclusively on the defensive side of the ball. While the source acknowledges his ceiling would be phenomenal if he played offensive football, they note this is highly unlikely.
Insight pageTyler Allgeier
NegativeDepth Chart27:48
The source acknowledges Tyler Allgeier is the listed starter on the depth chart but advises against starting him, preferring Jeremiah Love due to Love's superior talent and efficiency.
Insight pageTyreek Hill
PositiveProjection44:40
The source notes that if Tyreek Hill were to join the team, his fantasy ceiling would be phenomenal, though it is considered highly unlikely.
Insight pageZay Flowers
PositiveUsage56:48
The source recommends starting Zay Flowers over Malik Nabers, as Nabers is currently a game-time decision due to injury.

Episode Transcript
0:00God dang, it's early. I'm tired, but there are fantasy football questions to answer. Now, it is so early. We can kill
0:08some time before we get to the injury updates and all that stuff. So, I think we're going to start it off with a few
0:13of these best ball reviews that I had been putting on the back burner. But again, it's 7 in the morning. We're
0:19going to wait for other people to wake up. So, let's dive into your questions on the site first. Brian says, "Hey,
0:26Mason, hope you win the Flock League."
0:27Thank you so much, my friend. What do you think of the basketball portfolio?
0:30Do you think I'm at least going to get some of my money back? Well, I do have some negative news.
0:39Looking at all of our most drafted players, whether it's Rashad White, TJ Hawinson, Omar Cooper, Rasheed Rice,
0:48Isaiah Pacheco, Jackson Dart, it looks like a lot of these guys did lose value over time. like Isaiah Pacheco as an
0:57example, like you couldn't have called this, but Isaiah Pacheco eventually going to the IR um it does put you in a little bit of an
1:07awkward spot and that a lot of the players that we invested heavily into lost value near the end of the off
1:14season.
1:18That isn't everything though, of course.
1:21Something bigger than that to be honest is going to be the roster construction that you had in your drafts. Let me go
1:27through and just make sure that we are only looking at 18 rounders. Yeah, we are only looking at 18 round drafts.
1:35And here we have all two three QB builds. Looks perfect. All two, three tight end builds. Looks perfect.
1:44Mainly five and six running back builds.
1:47But at the same time, we did mix in some four and seven, mainly seven and eight wide receiver builds, but at the same time, we did mix
1:57in some se um six and nine. So, from a construction perspective, the portfolio looks really good.
2:08The problem that you would have with it is just a lot of the teams, I'm sorry, the
2:20players we invested into again ended up losing some value here. So, the big thing is with baseball, you only
2:29need one team to go nuts. You only need one team and you make all your money back 20x.
2:38Is it likely? No.
2:40But I think you gave yourself a chance with the construction of these rosters.
2:46Now, let's go over to our next question.
2:49This one's going to be from Nick. Says, "Hey, Mason, started doing basketball drafts a couple weeks ago and wanted your opinion on how the portfolio looks.
2:57Thanks. Keep doing what you're doing. I really appreciate you, my guy, and I'm excited to look at this." Okay, so we
3:02exclusively did Basketball Mania drafts, which is a really interesting portfolio to see, but looking at some of our top
3:10drafted guys, um, we went 33% in on Quinn Sean Judkins. Completely fine here if you understand this is a very risky
3:22thing to do. Like for me personally, I never go over 20% in any of my
3:31individual players, right? Um it's just about risk tolerance here at the top end because obviously you go all in on an
3:40individual name such as Quinn Sean, he gets injured, then you're absolutely screwed.
3:48Not a horrible thing for you to do because obviously if Quinn Sean Judkins turns out to be a top five running back
3:53this year, then you are making money handover fist, but from a riskmanagement perspective, this is
4:04something that's very risky to do at the top. Construction-wise, the construction looks perfect, man.
4:12All two, three QB builds, all two, three tight end builds, primarily seven and eight receivers, but we still mix in six
4:19and nine, five, six running back builds mainly, but we still mix in four and seven. This looks literally perfect.
4:30We're getting our stacks. The big big thing is our most invested in two offenses are the Cleveland Browns where
4:40we have 15% Denzel Boston, 33% Judkins, 12% Judy, 13% Fannon, the Tennessee Titans where we have 20%
4:52Wanddale, 16% Tate, 17% Camard.
4:57So, what you're probably gonna need is you will need the Titans and the Browns to exceed expectations. But if that happens, who knows? Now, let's go over
5:08to Cuban Bread. This is another basketball portfolio. I'm going to be honest with you, my friend. When you only have seven drafts loaded in here,
5:15I'm not going to be able to just look from like a top down perspective. I'm gonna have to look more so team by team
5:21and see if there's anything I would have done differently. I think from a construction perspective, if I had like Caleb and Jordan Love, I don't know if I
5:29would have taken a third QB on that team. This team looks really good. This team, again, very similar. If I would
5:37have gone with Jaden Daniels, Matthew Stafford, I don't know if I'm taking a third quarterback there. I think you really needed another wide receiver.
5:43This team's just not going to have enough wide receiver points. Um, this team looks really strong.
5:50Same setup here. I think you needed another wide receiver, one fewer quarterback on this team.
5:56And same thing here. I think you needed one more wide receiver and one fewer quarterback. So looking across the board, I would have said with your teams
6:05overall, the big change that I would have personally made is I most likely would have just gone one fewer quarterback
6:15with most of those builds and one extra wide receiver.
6:20Now, let's go over to No Instagram says, "Hey, Mason. Hope you're doing well. I appreciate you remembering me from last season. I'm always watching your
6:27streams. Let me know what you think of the portfolio. I did end up doing that trade for Jay. Hell yeah." Um, so here,
6:34best portfolio. Again, I really appreciate you, my guy. You know, I'm excited. Look at this. Where I'm going to get rid of the 20 round draft just
6:39because it's going to make things a little wacky.
6:44Now, in terms of some of our most drafted guys, I am right there with you.
6:50From a basketball perspective early in the offseason, I thought Travis Hunter was a really good upside shot and the risk wasn't too too bad.
7:01Obviously, now hindsight being 2020, Travis Hunter was a garbage pick now that he looks like he may just play exclusively on the defensive side of the
7:11ball week one. But outside of that, I mean, not gonna be the end of the world here with some of the other investments.
7:20Like Jonah Coleman spiked in value a bunch after we were drafting them.
7:25Looking from a construction perspective, I would have just said like this is maybe the main concerning thing.
7:31I think we maybe needed to lock in a little bit more and tighten it up when it came to the construction that we were
7:40drafting. Like we have a couple four quarterback teams. Those are most likely dead. They have no chance. We have a couple four wide receiver teams. Those
7:50are for sure dead. They have no chance.
7:53We have a one tight end team. That team is dead. Has no chance.
7:59Now, all in all, these may have just been auto picks, right? We probably don't need to overthink it, but I would have said I think from a
8:14construction style viewpoint, if we could have maybe tightened it up a little bit,
8:25that would have been ideal.
8:28But I think that's all I got for you. I really wish I was able to help you out in some way here. But um yeah, I think
8:37it's now reddraft season, my guy. And hopefully I can help out your reddraft team.
8:42Now, let's go ahead and look at Major Blight here for the flex. We are essentially going to be looking at Christian Watson,
8:53Quinton Johnson, Michael Pitman, RJ Harvey. Uh, for me it's going to be easily Christian Watson. Again, I'm biased. I have Christian Watson in my
9:02own lineup, but I am telling myself as of now that he is a good play given the fact that they're going to have to throw the
9:11ball with no Jacobs. Now, Cursed here, we have Daniels or Bicks. Both quarterbacks in tough offenses this week. I wouldn't be super excited to
9:22roll with either one.
9:25But with that being said, um I if I had to choose one would be going with Jayen Daniels given the rushing upside.
9:36Going over to wide receiver, we're looking at DJ Moore, Quinton Johnson, and Jaden Reed. I'm going to go DJ Moore even with him having a tough matchup.
9:46And then in the flex we'll take David McGomery with the guaranteed volume.
9:51Now the full Monty says fifthyear flocker. That is insane. Thank you so much for sticking with me. Um are we going to go with Allen or Herz to start?
10:01So this isn't a crazy question at all based on how their offenses project out.
10:07Like for me specifically, I have Josh Allen ranked QB3 this week and I have Jaylen Herz ranked
10:18QB4.
10:21So I have them backto back. I wouldn't fault you at all for going through and playing Herds. I would still stick with
10:31Josh Allen myself. And ultimately, the main question I want to be asking is why do we even have Jaylen Herz on a Josh
10:38Allen team? If you draft the Josh Allen, I think you're kind of stuck playing Josh Allen every single week regardless.
10:46Now, looking at the flex for this team, running back, it's between Tuton, Henderson, Chuba. Wide receiver, it's
10:54between Johnston, Debo, Diggs. I'm gonna go ahead take Bay Shell Tutin here.
11:03With Toutin, the role is uncertain, but what we know is the Jags are six, I mean, sorry, eight and a half point
11:10favorites, so they should be able to run the ball consistently.
11:16Okay, now Mason 2010 says, "Got this for my birthday. I'm Mason. It's a $150 league with three bench spots. What's my
11:24strategy?" I really appreciate you, my guy. And um I really hope I am able to help you out here. So right now on our
11:32bench, obviously you made a phenomenal call not playing Dean Stribbling. That would have been an absolute disaster if we had him in there. But now we're
11:42looking at Jonathan Brooks, Quinton Johnston as our two bench names. If we were to get somebody in, I would probably want it to be Jonathan and
11:50Brooks. And it would be the instance in which Jonathan Brooks is for sure the starting back for Carolina,
12:01which we just frankly don't know. Here's what I would actually do if I were you, is I would put Luther Burton at your
12:09wide receiver spot rather than Malik Neighbors. Throw Malik Neighbors down to the flex. We do not have the clarity with Malik Neighbors yet the way that I
12:19hoped that we would.
12:22So, as it stands right now, I do think that you're kind of just going to have to sit here and wait
12:32and hope that Neighbors plays tonight.
12:35Now, if you have him in your flex and you play Luther Burden at wide receiver, then that will mean in tonight's game
12:42and tomorrow's game, you can look at any position to pick up and play if neighbors misses, whether that's running back, whether that's wide receiver,
12:50whether that's tight end. So yeah, again, if anybody has neighbors here tonight and they currently have neighbors at wide receiver and they have
12:58another wide receiver in their flex that's going to play early and you are going to roll the dice on Malik Neighbors, please put Neighbors in the
13:06flex spot. That way in case anything does happen, you are able to pivot over and you are able to look at additional
13:14options that aren't just the wide receiver position to back fill later tonight.
13:21Okay, let's go over to Zany says 10 team PPR. Do we wait a week or get the running back now?
13:30So, we have St. Brown Neighbors Adams, Watson, Brian Thomas. Since it's a 10 team, two receiver, one flex format
13:40where we have so many wide receivers, even if we're not certain about Malik Neighbors right this second, I would still go ahead and do this, man.
13:54I think this is something you still got to look at to be honest.
14:00So, take Hampton, go get the best player.
14:04Now, Ben's Mafia, longtime member of the flock, always happy to see you. This is Mason, my man. Hope all is well. As
14:12always, rooting for you in the Flock League. Thank you so much. Thoughts on the team? Also, a week before the season, I traded Javvante and Toutin for
14:22Chase Brown. So, a lot of that's going to come down to does Toutin pop because realistically there is a small possibility
14:36that Bashel Tuton is just unusable in fantasy this year.
14:41It's a pure 5050 backfield split with Chris Rodriguez.
14:47And if that's the case, you may not like a bandit here. Obviously, you made an incredible play.
14:54Now, on the flip side of that, if Bashel Tuton is the starting running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars, we shouldn't have done it. It's a
15:05disaster in that instance.
15:08So I think Toutin is the guy that makes or break that breaks that deal because realistically as we look at what you
15:17have for Chase Brown and Javvante, we kind of know what we are getting from them, right? We don't know what we're
15:23getting from.
15:26Now let's check the team as it stands currently. It's a two receiver, one flex format, 12 team league. Looks like your
15:37league mates, they know what they're doing. Um, going over to the waiverwire, Jonah Coleman sitting out there. He's pretty interesting. And to be honest
15:45with you, I don't think you need to do it right now, but depending on what happens today, I would probably be quick to go
15:54ahead and to cut Chris Bell and pick up Jonah Coleman.
16:01Well, I think Chris Bell is intriguing, don't get me wrong.
16:06Um, I think Jonah Coleman is a very, very strong shout that you can have at the running back position given his
16:13profile and given the upside that we would have if we were to see an injury to JK Dobbins, which in my opinion
16:24isn't the craziest thing to imagine.
16:28Okay, now let's
16:37go ahead and look at the quarterback position where we have Baker Mayfield.
16:43And when we have Baker, one thing that we could consider, and honestly, this is probably what I'm going to do is instead
16:50of even picking up Jonah Coleman, I understand we're probably just streaming quarterbacks playing QBs based on matchup. And Baker Mayfield has a very
17:00good matchup this week, but I think I may rather have Jordan Love and Baker on the roster at the same
17:11time.
17:15just that way we can play the matchups between these two quarterbacks or have additional options because there is a non 0% chance that Jordan Love
17:25absolutely goes nuclear this week and he drops back to pass 50 times and if we don't have him on our team and
17:35we aren't able to go through and choose to start him going into the future I think it would be massive blunder for a team that only has Baker
17:44Mayfield at this point. And keep in mind, it is a single flex format. So, the wide receiver depth doesn't matter that much.
17:53So, I would go through, I would cut Chris Bell.
17:57I would pick up Baker Mayfield.
18:02Running back, we have CMC, Chase Brown, phenomenal anchors at the top. Our depth is Jonathan Brooks, Blake Cororum, Chuba
18:11Hubard, Kalin Black underneath.
18:15So, um, running back production at the top end looks great and we have plenty of depth as well. So, looks super strong
18:22there. Wide receiver, we have London Lad Watson, Quinton Johnston. So, typically going to look really strong with the wide receiver depth and top end
18:32production. Topend production may be a little bit lackluster right this second just given the fact that obviously we are dealing with Cooper Rush as the
18:44quarterback for Drake London.
18:49So that will be something that sucks here but not the end of the world. And then we have Kyle Pittz at tight end. So
18:56yeah, I think this is a damn good team man in a two receiver one flex format. I think quarterback and tight end does
19:02matter. considerably just given the fact that the depth at running back and wide receiver is going to be a little less
19:09important.
19:14So, I would most likely go through and I would just most likely cut Chris Bell, pick up Jordan Love, give us another
19:22option at quarterback going into the future.
19:29And then if we end up getting say Blake Cororm as a startable running back, I think at that point what I would
19:38probably do is I'd probably throw Blake Cororm on the trade block because you are already going to have so much depth
19:46with the combination of CMC Chase Brown as our anchors and then the fact that we essentially guaranteed ourselves the starting running back for the Carolina Panthers
19:57by having the combination of both Jonathan Brooks as well as Shuba Hubard. So really
20:07strong team here. I really like the setup. Again, I think that long-term maybe you want to trade for a better quarterback, but that would need to be
20:18because Blake Corb ended up popping off on your bench and we feel like we can start him. Like maybe if we get an
20:24injury to Kairen and then all of a sudden you have a ton of expendable value.
20:28But until then, I think you just go ahead, you just cut Chris Bell, you pick up Jordan Love to give herself a few
20:36more bites at the apple. by I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out in some way with this my
20:43friend.
20:44Now let's move over to our next question. This is Joki Monkey here for the flex.
20:50Um Luther Burden's probably the easy call. It's like Luther Burden Tony Pard to Brian Thomas but with Burden we don't exactly know if Roman Dun say 100% or
21:00not.
21:04And on top of that that's a good game environment projected out to be a ton of points scored in this game. So yeah, I
21:10would go ahead and I would just play Burden.
21:14Okay. Now our next question is going to be coming out from Oily Napkin here for the flex. We are choosing between Bucky Irving, Jeremiah Love, and
21:25that's about it. I think you very easily should be playing Bucky Irving over Jeremiah Love this week. I personally am pretty damn concerned about what we are
21:36going to end up getting with the Jeremiah Love split given the fact he's coming off a torn Achilles and he just
21:45missed so much time at practice again. Like I was actually thinking that um I was going to be the Jeremiah Love
21:55guy this year and that people were disrespecting him and people were overblowing the role that Tyler Algier was going to have. But that was before
22:04Jeremiah loves high ankle sprain. And Bucky Irving does become more enticing as well once you have Shawn Tucker ruled out of this game. And it looks like the
22:14split's not going to be something we have to be as concerned about at this point.
22:20Now Baldm Mason with our next question.
22:23Bejon Montgomery the easy place. Wide receiver Luther Burden and then between Neighbors and Brian Thomas. It's tough. Jawan Johnson at
22:34tight ends.
22:36I'd probably go like Brian Thomas at wide receiver and then I would throw neighbors inside the flux just in case we end up in a situation in which we
22:46need to pivot to somebody else if neighbors were to miss because obviously if you add him at wide receiver if he were to miss then all of
22:55a sudden your only options you can look at off the waiver wire is the wide receiver position but if he's in your
23:01flex here then you can look at running backs you can look at tight ends you can look at everything. So, um I would go
23:07ahead and I would probably roll the dice with neighbors if those were my names, but obviously hard to say so with
23:20confidence.
23:23Now, Arge coming out with our next question here at running back. Looks like Montgomery probably just going to
23:32be the play here over Pollig Pard. This is probably the most intriguing he'll ever be, but still, what's the true upside? We'll go Christian Watson at
23:42wide receiver. And then down there in the flex, I would just play Jaylen Wadd over Malik Neighbors at this point.
23:51Of course, if we get word in four hours that Neighbors 100% aokay, good to go, then we can go ahead and pivot. But
23:59until we get that, if I had to roll the dice on either Malik Neighbors or just play it safe
24:15with Jaylen Waddle. I think it's an easy spot to play it safe with Jaylen Waddle.
24:21Okay.
24:33Next question coming out from Gorius Gorius Solomon quarterback. We are going to play the combo of both Burrow and Lawrence, but Kyler is an incredible
24:44option. And if you wanted to pivot from Lawrence to Kyler, I wouldn't fault you for a second.
24:50Going over to running back, Genty. I'm assuming you already played McAffrey, but Genty and McAffrey, easy plays. Wide receiver, I'm assuming you already
25:00played JSN. Tight end, we have McBride.
25:03And then for the flex, you absolutely have to play Chris Ave. Chris Ave is just straight up one of the best plays
25:09in all of fantasy football this week.
25:14Like the overunder of the game's massive. There should be a ton of points scored. The spread in the game's massive as well. There's a good chance that the
25:26Saints are just having to throw the ball over and over and over again in the second half.
25:32So, yeah, I would just bank on I would just bank on a lava any spot you
25:45can. Now this next one coming from Cupin here for the flex. We are choosing between Bayel Tutin, Jonathan Brooks, Josh Jacobs, Blake Cororum, Tyler Algier,
25:57Christian Watson, Parker Washington, and Chris Godwin.
26:02Lot of strong options. I think honestly it's going to come down to one of Behel Tutin or Christian Watson. For me, I
26:11like the game environment for Watson because if we are looking at Josh Jacobs missing again, I think that may mean that they have to skew to be a little
26:22bit more passappy.
26:26I like the fact for Bashel Tuton the Jags are favored by eight and a half points. So, they probably run the ball a
26:31ton in the second half.
26:36So, it's very very close and it is up to you.
26:40If you're a believer in Beayalt Tutin, which I'm assuming that you are because you drafted him, I think you probably just go ahead and play Bashell Tutin
26:48here.
26:50That'd be my guess.
26:53Now, let me go ahead and refresh this.
26:55And we are almost caught up with the questions on the site. So, we should be able to actually let's just get to some
27:02free questions in the live chat right now. Then we'll go back to the questions on the site.
27:06Now, um, please I want to remind you all I'm going to be live streaming. Uh, last night we were live streaming until 1 in
27:13the morning answering fantasy football questions and we're going to be live streaming all the way until kickoff today as well. So, please, if you have
27:21not done so already, go down there, drop a like on this stream. Sunday morning live streams are the most important live streams that I
27:31do all year. Um, so please drop a like on the stream. Drop your questions in the live chat. I'm going to try to
27:38answer as many of these as I possibly can. Um, first one coming out from Lalen Wash is asking, "Alier Jeremiah Love."
27:49I most likely would go ahead and tell you to just jam Jeremiah Love here.
27:55While I understand that Tyler Algier is listed as the starter on the depth chart and at the same time I understand that
28:01obviously we have a lot of inherent risk with Jeremiah Love given the fact that he missed so much time.
28:09Um I think you just have to start him regardless knowing that he is significantly more
28:21talented than Algier. Like hypothetically, if you were to tell me Algier gets 13 touches in this game and Jeremiah Love gets 11,
28:32I would still want Jeremiah Love in that instance because I think he does more with the work he gets. So, um I for sure
28:41go Jeremiah Love. Now, not look away says Devont or Travis ETN for me. pretty easy spot to go ahead and just jam
28:51Travis ETN. Like it's a surprise to me that Alvin Kamara is going to be missing this week.
29:02Like the expectations coming in at the very beginning of the week was that Kamara was not going to play and then we
29:11got thrown a curveball where we were told, oh no, all of a sudden Kamara is playing.
29:20But now that he is officially listed as out one, I need to go over to flockfantasy.com and let me update these
29:26rankings right this second.
29:32Okay, so these are reddraft rankings. I don't think we need to update those, but we probably need to update the weekly
29:38ranks again. And I would probably move ETN up into this tier with Barkley, Henry, Cook, Walker, Genty, and Javante.
29:49Yet again, again, we dropped ETN last night whenever we were being told that
30:00Kamara was good to go because especially in this game environment, that would have been a brutal spot because the New Orleans Saints are supposed to be
30:08trailing so heavily in this game.
30:10There's just a good chance that we would have seen a lot of Kamar if they were having to
30:22throw the ball in the second half, which would just suck for somebody like myself who is playing Travis ETN this week. But
30:30now that we have no Kamar, easy spot to jam him. Now, BH BPH asking Marshon Lloyd or JK Dobbins. For me,
30:40man, I do not want any part of JK Dobbins this week. One, we know JK Dobbins for sure is not going to catch
30:47the ball. Two, we know he is for sure in a full-blown committee with RJ Harvey and potentially Jonah
30:57Coleman.
31:00And on top of it, it's a tough game environment where if you're going to go through and map out what you have with the
31:11current projection, the projection is the Kansas City Chiefs win this game.
31:20Let me double check on that, but I am almost certain that is the case.
31:35I think the last I checked the spread was like two and a half points.
31:42I will say it actually looks like compared to previously the Denver Broncos have had the money move their way like
31:53very early in the process on Poly Market US you actually had the Chiefs with a 60% chance of winning the Broncos with a
32:0240% and now that is down to the Kansas City Chiefs only having a 56% chance. So, it is, I guess, close to a 50-50 coin flip.
32:11But again, the spread in this game's two and a half points. I don't know if this is the game environment that we want to
32:16play Dobbins in.
32:19Right now, if we're looking at the fantasy points projection, PPR, Dobbins has a 68% chance to go for 10 or more
32:29fantasy points.
32:35I I I would honestly take the no side of that to be honest.
32:43I really would.
32:46But obviously, if you wanted to check out any of those projections on Poly Market US, a link's in the description.
32:52It's in the comment section. If you sign up with code flock, you will get $50 out of your account after you play, I mean,
32:58after you deposit your first 10. And on top of that, Poly Market US is available in every state other than Nevada. Um,
33:08and you'll get free questions for these live streams as well. You can find that link in the description and comment section
33:15now. But yeah, I would go Marshall Lloyd over Dobbins. I don't see the upside play with Dobbins to be honest.
33:22Um, Johnny says, "How are your teams doing?" I don't know if you're asking for best baseball or you're asking for um the flock league. I'll be honest, all
33:32of those um listener leagues that we drafted in with everybody in August, I have not not checked in on those. I am not manage
33:41managing those from a day-to-day perspective. Instead, I am having Sammy Stacks do that. like I'm not going through and with those 50 teams during
33:53this live stream trying to submit my starting lineups for every single one.
33:57Um but the flock league team that I have looks like it's doing quite well. We're playing Neighbors this week who had
34:08Devonte Adams and George KD.
34:11Now we got Neighbors or Z Flowers. So, as it stands right now, Malite Neighbors is still a game time decision. And with
34:19Neighbors being a game time decision, I think it's a pretty easy spot to say just go ahead and honestly play Z
34:26Flowers. You don't need to risk it with Malik Neighbors.
34:32Okay. Should I trade Kairen? How worried should I be?
34:39Like, are you referring to how worried should you be regarding the Los Angeles Rams offense?
34:48Because there I wouldn't be that concerned, my friend. Well, I understand the Rams looked horrible Thursday night. Obviously,
34:59it was a game in Australia and the Australia games. I do want to not overreact to.
35:11So, I would not panic sell Kairen Williams.
35:15I don't know if you were shocked to see Blake Cororm out there, but it's not like Blake Cororm had a ton of
35:23usage.
35:26So yeah, I would just I don't know. If you drafted Kairen, I
35:39think he's the same guy today that he was the time that you drafted him. In my opinion, if the Rams look like garbage
35:46in week two, if Kairen splits true 5050 with Corb in
36:02week two. Maybe we re-evaluate, but as it stands right now, I think you're fine.
36:10Now, Wall-Ally is asking Brock Party over Drake May rest of season question mark. So, this is a very interesting question and it's something that I had
36:19to think about myself. I drafted Drake May at the 708 in my fantasy draft this year. I took Drake May in the seventh
36:29round and one, not only did he look horrendous in the season opener, the entire team looked really bad. I hated the play calling. Um, from a
36:40fantasy perspective, he absolutely screwed me.
36:44But almost something that's more impactful here is the fact that now we also don't have AJ Brown.
37:10So, it's a tough question to answer.
37:16AG Brown was one of the reasons I was excited to draft Drake May where I did, but in my league, that's a six-point
37:23passing touchdown, especially because there it's not like we can just fall back and say, "Oh, Drake May's going to run the ball some, so it's going to be
37:31okay."
37:33In my league, that's a six-point passing touchdown. I will probably be looking at the waiver wire to just see if we get
37:41anything interesting pop up.
37:46Now, um again, if it was just the bad performance, I wouldn't be panicking regarding Drake May. But what I am worried about is I am worried about AJ
37:56Brown missing the majority of the season at this point or not being nearly as effective as we thought he was going to
38:03be coming into the year.
38:06And with that in mind, I do think that negatively impacts the projection we get with May.
38:14Now, Francis says, should I trade Wadd Genty and Lad for Bejon and T Higgins?
38:21So, if we're breaking these down into tiers, I would say that T. Diggins is
38:32about the same as Lad Maki to be completely honest with you. Like I'm not looking at a massive gap between those
38:38two names.
38:40If we go over and check out what we have with Genty and Wadd versus Bejian Robinson,
38:50I prefer Bejon. If we are able to get Tua and or Michael Penn back, if we get them back, then all of a
39:03sudden I do think that you're in a much better position.
39:10But obviously trading for Bejon right now while Cooper Rush is the starting quarterback for this team, it is a very
39:19difficult ask. It really is.
39:24Um Dave says, "Guys, what's up with Jeremiah Love?" So the setup with Jeremiah Love is one, you are dealing with a nasty game
39:40environment in which the Arizona Cardinals are about 10 point
39:51dogs to the Los Angeles Chargers. Like I picked up the Chargers defense. I am very excited to start the Chargers defense this week.
39:59Two, on top of that, Jeremiah Love missing as much time as he did in preeason as well as camp
40:09does make me think that there's a chance that they slow roll him into action this year.
40:16I think that is a very real possibility.
40:24They listed Algier as the starter on the depth chart. Of course, I don't believe that. Like, if I had to choose who I was
40:30going to start between Jeremiah Love and Tyler Algier, it would be Jeremiah Love and it wouldn't be close.
40:44But I have Jeremiah Love ranked at running back 24 this week. And ultimately, I think you have to have lowered expectations
40:53if you have him on your team. And a lot of future weeks, he is just going to be a mustart absolute jam, but this is not
41:01going to be one of those. This will not be that week.
41:06Now, Joe says, "Is Roma a full go?" So, I've seen a lot of people speculating that he's not, but from what I've seen.
41:18It seems like Rome's good to go.
41:28So again, I am submitting my starting lineups with the expectations that Rome will be
41:38playing this week.
41:42Now, should we start Chris Rodriguez or Quinn Sean Judkins? So, obviously Rodriguez is on the side of the ball that you want.
41:50He is the eight and a half point favorite over Quint Shawn Judkins. But here's the deal. One, we know that Chris
41:58Rodriguez has no upside because he's not going to catch the ball and he's not an athlete that's going to break off big
42:03plays.
42:06And two, on top of this as well.
42:14We don't know if he will be the starter.
42:18I know he's listed as the co-starter with Bashel Tutin, but we can't trust that and the ceiling's not there. So, I think
42:29Rodriguez is somebody that should be rostered in pretty much every format.
42:36But when it comes to like us submitting our lineups week one, there is no way in hell you can play
42:46Chris Rodriguez week one.
42:49So I would for sure play Quinn Sean Judkins here. And I don't think it's that close either.
42:56Now we'll get back to these free questions in the chat. Again, all I ask I'm going to be live streaming for like
43:025 hours this morning answering free fantasy football questions. So, please, if you don't mind, go down there, drop a like on this live stream, and then we'll
43:12get right back to those freebies. But, um, of course, I do need to go through.
43:16I do need to look at these questions from the people on the site. Blackfish trading away. Bo, I'm sorry, not trading
43:24away. Starting either Boicks or Dak Prescott. It's Dak Prescott and it's not close. the game environment is going to be so much better. And then in your flex
43:31spots, I think I would play both the combination of Luther Burton and Jameson Williams over Jeremiah Love this week.
43:39Um, both offenses are supposed to score a ton of points. Both wide receivers have big play upside. I would go with
43:45both Luther Burton and J Mo over Jeremiah Love this week. That will not be the case in the long term, but just
43:52right now.
43:54Okay, now going over to Pukas Pooky here. Baseball portfolio where you made the same mistake that I did in a lot of
44:03drafts, my friend. I also heavily invested into Travis Hunter and obviously that does not look like it's paying off right now, but you had some
44:13massive hits. Dantavian Wix, Quinton Johnston, also some of your most drafted guys that you got at incredible prices.
44:21Now, let me go through and narrow this down to just regular 18 round drafts.
44:25Um, outside of maybe like a singular draft where you autodrafted four quarterbacks. Looks like from a construction perspective that you did
44:33incredibly well and with your top drafted names. A big thing that we would just have to hope for is we are going to
44:40have to hope for us eventually getting Tyreek Hill to sign with the team and
44:50eventually getting Travis Hunter playing some offensive football. Now, both of those are highly unlikely,
45:00but with that in mind, if they were to happen, the ceiling is phenomenal.
45:08So, I like where we stand with the upside case of some of these most drafted guys. Now, of course, in terms of the downside, they're very
45:18likely to hit it and it is very low.
45:21Now, Dokan or Dukan here for the flex, we are looking at Christian Watson and Beel Tudin pretty easily being the starts. I think Brian Thomas Jr. has a
45:32high ceiling but a low floor. And then Cardell Tate, if we can avoid avoid starting him in his first NFL game ever,
45:40I would like doing so personally.
45:45Now, going over to our next question with Sard Portfolio says, "Good morning, Mason.
45:50Give me your thoughts." So, we drafted a ton of teams here, right? Um, let me just make sure. I'm going to get rid of
45:56the first quarter stuff and I'm going to get rid of the 20 round draft stuff and the Superflex stuff. We're going to just
46:04stick it with the regular 18 round drafts, which is what I'm used to um personally. Now, here it looks like Jaden Higgins being
46:15our most drafted player puts us in a hole obviously.
46:22Like really tough spot to be in from that perspective.
46:28But Omar Cooper, Ted Hurst, like it does look like a lot of these most drafted players did lose a tremendous amount of
46:39value by the time we got to the end of off season one way or another. Whether it's Omar Cooper just being
46:45disappointing in camp, whether it's Jaden Higgins tearing his ACL, which I feel your pain there, my friend. I also
46:57drafted Jaden Higgins, but from a construction perspective, it looks incredibly strong, right? Only two, three QBs, only two, three tight
47:07end builds, running back primarily, five, six RBs, seven, eight receivers. We still were mixing in some weird four running back builds, seven running back builds, which
47:16I like to mix those in. So, I really like what you did from a construction perspective.
47:24Now, of course, again, we got unlucky with the Jaden Hagen stuff, but looks like very clearly you know what you're doing, drafting basketball teams.
47:32Now, our next questions coming out from Jared says, "How did we do this year? Not super excited about my running backs."
47:40So, this is a double flex format, right?
47:44So, the depth is going to matter here.
47:46Depth mattering here does make it a little less important for you to get that elite QB. a little less important for you to get that elite tight end.
47:56Quarterback right now, we are currently sitting with Trevor Lawrence. Tight end, we have Isaiah likely. So, pretty damn bad at both positions. And I do think
48:05that you need to be ready to work the waiverwire. Now, of course, I understand Lawrence was a league winner at the end
48:10of last season, but if you look at current market makers, they are projecting significant regression for the Jacksonville Jaguars, which I do
48:20think is worth pointing out.
48:23Now looking at running back, we are currently sitting with the combo of Kenneth Walker, Jadarian Price, Bay Shell Tutin. So pretty good spot to be
48:34at when it comes to our running back position. We have in my opinion two startable players early with Walker and Tudin. We have the upside case of
48:44Jadarian Price as well.
48:47So, I completely understand like yeah, maybe on paper you don't love your running back, too. But the long-term upside case
48:58that you have of Judearian Price here, man, and the short-term viability that you may even have with somebody like Tony Pard,
49:08it makes it in my opinion where there's no reason for you to stress about this.
49:18like running back, you're in a completely fine spot with your depth, which is what I would want to prioritize again in a deeper league like this.
49:27Going over to receiver, we are currently sitting with the combo of Jamar Chase, Rasheed Rice, Devont Smith, Parker Washington. So, we have four great
49:36receivers. So, here's the deal. You drafted a damn good team for this format. If this was a two receiver, one flex league, not a double flux, I would
49:45be worried. I'm'll be honest. I would probably at that point want you to go through and try to sell Devont Smith and
49:51Isaiah likely and pivot over and get an elite tight end.
49:55I'd probably want you to try to sell Bay Shell Tutin and Trevor Lawrence, get an upgrade at QB.
50:04However, not the spot here. Double flex. I like that you're built around I like the fact that you're built around
50:18these names like Tuton, Pard, Smith, Washington because you are going to need to go through and fill out those flex spots
50:28and it's going to be easier said than done. So, um I like your team. I like the setup that you have. Now, while yes,
50:37running back two on paper is maybe a little weak, at the same time, you have so many names, it wouldn't be a shock at all if
50:46you end up getting a surprise from someone here. So, I would leave that as is, man.
50:52Now, moving over to this next set. This is coming out from Jake here for the flex.
51:01Wide receiver, not super inspiring.
51:03Like, Michael Pitman would probably be our best name this week. So, I'm going to go with the combination of Quinn Sean
51:08Judkins and Bashel Tutin. And you're just going to have to hope that Toutton does have the workload that you drafted him for.
51:18Now, Caesar with the next question here. Running back between Jonathan
51:27Brooks, Tony Pard.
51:31Here's the deal. Pard has the higher floor between these two RBs.
51:38I think Jonathan Brooks potentially has the higher ceiling. You started AJ Brown.
51:46So if you started AJ Brown, you're kind of behind the eightball already. I think you need to be playing for the ceiling
51:52and not the floor.
51:57Okay.
52:06Can y'all please let me know right now?
52:12Who would y'all rather have? Spam the chat. Would you rather have Jonathan Brooks or would you rather have Tony Pard?
52:23Jonathan Brooks or Tony Pard? Please let me know in the live chat.
52:32like obviously not rest of season, but in your lineup today. Tony Pard, good match up against the Jets. Jonathan Brooks going up against the Chicago
52:40Bears.
52:43Looks like the chat's mainly on Tony Pard. Agree. I I agree. You think pard has the floor, but for a team that had
52:50AG Brown, there's no way Poly Market has projections for these guys,
53:00does it?
53:05Okay, let me pull this up.
53:12Okay, let's see. So, looks This is actually
53:26pretty interesting. The Tennessee Titans went from being heavily favored in this game, 57% chance of winning. Now it's down to a 52%.
53:37It's pretty much a coin flip here.
53:41The spread on this game is Tennessee half a point.
53:49The current market for Pard is 5050.
53:54Does he have 12 or more fantasy points?
53:58Let me see where we sit with the Panthers.
54:08So, Carolina 40% chance of winning this game. Let me see what we have again for the P. We don't even have a Jonathan
54:18B Brooks projection on Poly Market US.
54:23Looks like they're in on Hubard. Maybe if that is the case, like yeah, Poly Market US isn't even giving us a projection on Jonathan
54:31Brooks and it's there on Hubard instead. Maybe you can't plan on going Brooks. Maybe you do just need to go ahead and jam in
54:40Pard.
54:42But of course, if you wanted to go through and check out any of these projections on Poly Market US, um the
54:48link is in the description. It's in the comment section. Use code flock, you'll get $50 out of your account after you
54:56play your first 10. And on top of that, you Poly Market US is available in every single state outside of Nevada. And if
55:05you sign up with code flock as well, you'll be getting free questions for these live streams.
55:12Now, let's go over and I'll mark Pard.
55:17And honestly, after seeing those projections, I am going to go through I'm gonna move Hubard up my rankings and I'm going to move
55:26Brooks down.
55:30And actually looking at my rankings, I already had Tony Pard ranked ahead of Jonathan Brooks, but I think I'm going to flip Hubard and Brooks for Hubard to
55:39be the running back one here in Carolina, at least for week one.
55:46But we have been told that Jonathan Brooks is playing without limitations.
55:52Okay, now Space Martian says 12 team sixpoint passing TDs, big play bonuses, rushing
56:03and receiving first down bonus, one yard for one point for all positions, unbelievable.
56:11So if you are saying one yard equals one point and six point passing touchdown formats, we don't necessarily need the quarterback that's going to give us the
56:23rushing upside.
56:25We just want the quarterback that we think can lead the NFL in passing. So the fact that you're built around Herbert as well as Jared Goff looks
56:33phenomenal, man.
56:35Really smart call. Um, I think you'd probably go Herbert, but it's damn close. And you can make an argument in either direction. We're going to go
56:43Christian Watson at wide receiver. Jawan Johnson over Harold Fannon this week pretty clearly. And then I'd go Jaylen Warren at running back. And then again,
56:53if we get the big play stuff, I think we would go Cardell Tate in that second flag spot.
57:00Now, excitable grass. Our best name that we have on the bench at the moment is most likely Quinton Johnston, but no way
57:06I can play him over JSN Rice Wadd Luther Burden. So, I think you're going to leave this exactly how you have it. And
57:12yeah, I would play Dak Prescott over Kyler Murray. I will say Kyler looks to be in a good spot this week, though.
57:19Okay, let's refresh. Okay, it looks like we don't have that many more questions on the site, so we can pivot back over
57:24and start answering some more of these questions um that are in the live chat for free. So again, all I have to ask is
57:32if you are in the chats um and you want to get free questions answered, please drop a like on this live stream. I live
57:40stream every single day answering fantasy football questions. Today we're going to be live for 4 hours u I'm sorry, five hours before kickoff
57:50answering these questions. I'm gonna be live during the Sunday night game on the Flock League YouTube channel and I'm gonna be live right after the Sunday
57:59night game on this channel recapping everything. So, I'm going to be live for a good 10 11 hours today. Um, starting very
58:09early in the morning, very late at night. So, if you're ever going to go down and drop a like on the stream,
58:14please do so now. So, let's go ahead and let's look at this. Xavier Legette or Palmer?
58:24Is this Joshua Palmer?
58:31Joshua Palmer even with an NFL team right now.
58:37I'm assuming this is a joke question, my friend.
58:41If it's Joshua Palmer versus Xavier, I don't know if either guy is going to be active. If Legett's active, I'd play
58:46Legette.
58:50Now, EKTR says, "Cardell Tate or Jakori Cross in the flex over neighbors who is still questionable. Any suggestions, guys?" So, here's the deal, man.
59:02If you were to roll the dice on neighbors right over Cardinal Tate and Jakory Cross
59:11Merritt, how bad would the Waverwire name be in
59:29comparison to Cardell tape? If you plan on starting Malik Neighbors and then all of a sudden, worst case scenario, he misses Sunday night and you
59:40end up having to pivot to Malachi Fields.
59:44How much worse is he really?
59:51I don't know. So, if we're looking at this range of guys, I would for sure play Malik Neighbors. I would just go
59:59ahead and roll the dice. Like here's a neighbor's question that I would say it's not worth rolling the dice with.
60:05Luther Burden vers Malik Neighbors.
60:08Luther Burden in this game environment with this setup I think is pretty easily a start.
60:19And if we don't get confirmation about neighbors before call it
60:3812 p.m. Central, you're going to have to roll with Luther Burton.
60:43Now Neighbors or Christian Watson? This is another case in which I would take the viable exciting play. I would go Christian Watson
60:50again like Neighbors verse Jakoy Kroska Merritt just roll the dice with Neighbors. But if we're getting up to these wide receivers that project out to
60:58be top 24 wide receivers this week such as Christian Watson, such as Luther Burden, there is when I think it becomes
61:06just safe to play the known quantity. Play the guy that you know is going to be good to go.
61:15Okay.
61:17Now, our next question is coming out from Neighbors or Jaylen Warren at the flex.
61:27I would go ahead. I'd play Jaylen Warren most likely. The deal with Jaylen Warren is I am more excited about him now than
61:33I was previously given all the stuff going on with the
61:44quarterback play for the Atlanta Falcons.
61:51Like, let me see if we can find the updated
62:06stuff for Atlanta here.
62:11But yeah, it has just gotten worse and worse and worse for the Atlanta Falcons over the past like say if we look at
62:19these live odds over the past month went from 37% chance of Atlanta winning this game, 64% Pittsburgh, then that drops to 32 when we get the
62:30official scare of Tua. Then once it is officially announced it's Cooper Rush, it's down at 28% for the Atlanta Falcons this game.
62:41The spreads moved where now the Pittsburgh Steelers are 6 and a half point favorites.
62:50Right.
62:54Dear God, the Atlanta team total is 16 and a half points here.
63:01Pittsburgh's at 23. So I think for that reason, Jaylen Warren is a more compelling play.
63:14Let me see what the rushing yards is for him.
63:2255% chance to go over 40 rushing yards.
63:24Obviously, we know at the same time that he is going to be in a spot in which he's going to catch the ball as well.
63:32So, I would go with Warren. And obviously again I have to say this, but if you'all want to check out any of the
63:39predictions with Poly Market US Code Flock, $50 added to your account after you deposit your first 10 available in every state outside of Nevada.
63:50London or a Sutton? I would still go London over a sudden, but it is brutal having the market show that the Atlanta Falcons
64:02have a 16 12 point team total fit 16 and a half for Atlanta.
64:17I do think you very much need to be concerned about Drake London.
64:22Okay, now
64:31next question is Jeremiah Love or DK Medaf. This is actually incredibly tough if I'm going to be honest.
64:39Like again, I actually think Atlanta being on their third string quarterback hurts DK Maf because now I would look at the
64:51Pittsburgh Steelers and go there is no chance they get into a highscoring shootout, right? That's just no longer a possibility.
65:12So, I think this is very much a fair question and it is very much up to you.
65:18Brett asking if we have any news on Jeremiah Love. My expectations are right now that Jeremiah Love plays this week, just not with a full workload.
65:29Let me go ahead and see if I can pull this up and see if we have anything new.
65:36But yeah, so Ian Rapaort tweeted out two hours ago,
65:45um, Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiah Love, questionable with an ankle sprain is expected to play. Going through and looking at all these updates
65:55for them, obviously we have the Joey Porter stuff. Um, Max Crosby's playing.
66:04So, here are the big things that have dropped so far. Jeremiah Love is going to be good to go and Alvin Kamara won't
66:12be. So, with Kamar missing again, I went ahead. I moved Travis ETN up my rankings. I think ETN is just a
66:22jam at this point.
66:25So, please if you got Travis ETN, make sure you are playing him.
66:32Okay, now let's see if we have anything else.
66:36Um, a Bears wide receiver Roman Dunce questionable with the calf injury is expected to go today versus the Panthers. Again, according to Ian
66:43Rapaort. So, what I've been telling people is I've been saying Rome's playing, but if he ends up not playing, don't blame me. Blame Ian Rapaort.
66:53Um, and yeah, let's go over to our next one. We got Jameson Williams or Luther Burden.
67:05Because Roma Dunce is playing here, I think it's an easy spot for me to say that we want um JMA
67:18like the overunder, the Lions, Saints games, something crazy.
67:32I think it's like 50 and a half points.
67:35And we do have the Detroit Lions as the heavy favorites there. So, and plus, I know I've said this before and maybe I'm
67:43just coping here because I do not have Jir Gibbs on my own fantasy team,
67:53but with no Montgomery and also again the
68:05guy they brought in to replace with Isaiah Pacheco's also not going to be playing.
68:13I would not be surprised at all if this team just used more pass happy. So again, I have Jameson Williams on my
68:22fantasy team. I'm very biased here, but I think JMO goes out there and absolutely crushes.
68:30Now, Andrew says Z Flowers or Travis CTN. There are very few questions that you could ask me today that I would not
68:37say play Travis ETN.
68:40Now, that may have been close if Alvin Kamara was going to be good to go. But here's the deal with the Saints running
68:46back room. It's not just that Alvin Kamar is out, but pretty much every single like every single Saints running back's
69:05injured pretty much outside of Travis.
69:08ETN should just see the entire workload.
69:13Now we got London or neighbors. This is very clearly London in my mind.
69:17Obviously, we have to lower our expectations with London given the quarterback play, but realistically,
69:30we know he's going to play and we have no idea about Neighbors. So, I think you would have to play Drake London over
69:37Neighbors.
69:39Now, we'll get back to the questions in the chat in just one second. We do have more questions on the site that we need
69:46to get to. U but yeah, not many questions on the site then we'll get back to the questions in the chat right
69:51away. Now the frill here for the flex.
69:56Um I will play Beel Tutin over Quinton Johnson and Rome. Again, if you drafted Beel Tutin and you don't play him when he's an
70:07eight and a half point favorite over the Cleveland Browns, I don't know if you should have drafted him.
70:12Okay.
70:14Now, Schmo trading Barkley to upgrade to St. Brown, ETN to downgrade to David McGomery, and we're paying Roman to get it done.
70:25Leftover at running back, your team would be pretty weak, and you're already damn strong at receivers. So, I would not do this deal. I would keep Barkley
70:32and Eten.
70:35Now, Drakott with our next one here.
70:39Running back between Scat, Hubard, Dowel, Mason, you easily have to play Cam Scataboo even
70:49coming off the significant injury. And then going down to our flex, we're looking at Chris Godwin versus like Chuba Hubard. If you would have told me,
70:58like if you tell me right now, hey, Mason Chuba is going to see 70% of the work for the Carolina Panthers. It is
71:04easy to go through. It's easy to take Chuba here. It's a pretty good game environment.
71:11But I have no idea what that backfield split's going to be like in Carolina.
71:16There is a chance that Jonathan Brooks is just the straightup starting running back here.
71:22So with that in mind, I would go ahead.
71:25I would play Chris Godwin in a pretty strong matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals where they are going to have to be throwing
71:36the ball over and over again.
71:39Now, Ethan, quarterback between May and Jackson Dart. Obviously, I'm sure you already started May. Um, I actually did have
71:50Dart ahead of May in my rankings this week, though, just given the matchups for him. Running back, we play JT and
71:57Barkley, wide receiver.
72:00I'm sure you already started AJ Brown. I would go Luther Burden over Neighbors.
72:05tight ends. I don't know if you started Kyle Pitts or KD. Obviously, at this point, we would hopefully say you started
72:14Pitts. And then in the flex spots, Bucky Irving is a smash now that you have no Shawn Tucker for this game. And then in
72:21your last flex between Brian Thomas and Malik Neighbors, it is incredibly close.
72:27I would be genuinely interested to hear what the chat would have to say about this.
72:36Can y'all please spam the chat right now?
72:41Would you roll the dice on neighbors or would you play Brian Thomas? Brian Thomas or Neighbors,
72:55please spam the chat.
73:17Okay, we got neighbors, neighbors, Thomas, neighbors, neighbors, neighbors, Thomas, neighbors, neighbors, neighbors, Thomas, neighbors, neighbors, neighbors,
73:29neighbors. It looks like the majority of people are saying neighbors here. But again, obviously you are taking a risk, but you can go neighbors and then if
73:38he misses, I guess you pick up Malachi Fields.
73:45Okay. Now, Turbulent Ostretch here tied in between Kelsey and Michael Mayer. I will go Kelsey. I do think Michael Mayer has a ceiling, don't get me wrong, but
73:56we don't know what the floor is. And then for your flex between London and Luther Burton, I would still play London
74:03over Burton. There is a chance that Cooper Rush just goes, "F it. I don't know the offense. I'm not going to be
74:09able to go through and make reads. So, I am just going to have to go ahead and check the ball.
74:15I'm sorry. Check it to my number one option, my first read every time, which is Drake London."
74:23Okay.
74:26So now Kez with our next question for the flex. I think you have to play Jaylen Warren at this point. Again, I
74:35have moved Jaylen Warren up my rankings with all the Atlanta Falcons problems that are going on. So I think
74:47the Steelers are able to run the ball consistently here.
74:53Now, Mcquiggle here at wide receiver between neighbors Thomas and Tyson. We just did this song and dance not knowing who to go with
75:02between neighbors and Tyson.
75:06It really is going to be up to you and your risk tolerance. I would say probably for your team, go neighbors cuz
75:12if you did have to pivot over to another option, it would be easy for you to go ahead and
75:27pivot to Malachi Fields by dropping Chig. Like you have an easy drop here.
75:36Okay.
75:39Now, let's look at this for Goon Master. Interesting username.
75:53Okay, here wide receiver between neighbors
76:05Luther Burden. It's an easy play to go with Burden. And I will say in the future as well, man, I know obviously
76:11like when you submitted your starting lineup, you went, "Oh, okay. I want to play Jadarian Price and I want Javvante's better than him. Saquon
76:19Barkley is better than him. So, I'm going to go through I'm going to put Jadarian Price in my flex." If you ever
76:24have somebody that is playing on Thursday or in that instance playing on Wednesday, right, but playing early in
76:34the week, never put them in your flex.
76:37If it's a running back, make sure they're at your wide receiver, I'm sorry, your running back slot. If it's a wide receiver, make sure that they're in
76:44your wide receiver slot. That way, you remain flexible later in the week to pivot here if need be. Like hypothetically, if Barkley all of a
76:54sudden were to go down with an injury before the game, you're not gonna have anybody you could pivot to other than
77:01Jaory Kroski Merritt based on the way that you set this up.
77:09But if you would have played Price at running back and then Barkley in the flex and then hypothetically a Barkley would have gone down before the game,
77:16you could very easily then at that point just pivot over to a wide receiver instead of that Saquon Barkley spot. So
77:23again, anybody that plays on Thursday, Wednesday, whenever it is, if it's before Sunday, don't put them at the flex. Even if they are the clear running
77:31back three there, put them at running back two and move your running back two to the flex just in case anything
77:36happens and you need an emergency change.
77:39Okay, so now mutiny with our next question here for the flex.
77:48It's Diggs, Tate, Chuba, and then I'm assuming you already benched Price. I would go with Chuba Hubard and Cardell Tate in this instance. I would like to
78:00if we can completely ignore Stefon Diggs this week.
78:08When it comes to what we have specifically with this Commander offense, I think it's a gross spot playing against Philadelphia.
78:17I don't think we want any of these guys in our lineup, especially Diggs's first week with the team here. Now, Bad Motion says, "Love
78:27the content. Keeps me wanting to play fantasy and hungry for the win. Hope all is well." I hope you are doing well, my
78:33friend. And um I'm excited to check this out. I would go Jordan Mason over Algier pretty easily to be honest with you. Like I think
78:42Alier would have been interesting if we had no Jeremiah Love, but with Jeremiah Love playing, there's just no way I could get him in. And then at
78:54wide receiver, I think you're going to go ahead and play Chris Godwin over Metaf Thomas and Neighbors Godwin.
79:00Phenomenal matchup.
79:03And then down in your flex, I would probably bank on neighbors, but I would drop Caleb Douglas for Malachi Fields in
79:11case you needed to make the pivot.
79:14Now, Andrew, with our next question here for the flex, the best wide receiver you would have would be Jacobe Meyers. So, in this
79:22instance, I will play JK Dobbins. I don't want to play Dobbins this weekend.
79:26And if we I mean this week if we can avoid it. Trust me.
79:33But still now Evan with our next question here. Quarterback between Kyler and
79:43Mahomes. You have to play Kyler. The matchup's just going to be so much better. Running back a Chan obviously an auto start. Wide receiver Jefferson Lad
79:53in the flex spots J Mo and Wadd. If we weren't going to have Roma, I would tell you to play
80:02Luther Burden over Wadd though. Okay, but we are pretty much all caught up.
80:08Here are the other questions that we have. But we do have time that we can pivot over and look at free questions in
80:14the live chat. So, let's go ahead and let's dive into these questions in the chat. Again, um all you got to do to get
80:23your question answered, drop a like on this stream. Again, I'm going to be live streaming every single day answering fantasy football questions until
80:30Christmas, but Sunday morning streams are by far and away the most important for us. So, if you're ever going to go
80:35down there and drop a like, I would kindly ask that you do it right now.
80:40We're going to be answering a ton of free questions in the live chat. And of course, if you wanted to support the
80:46channel, um the number one way that you could is you could go ahead and check out Poly Market US. Um, Poly Market US
80:56is available in 49 out of 50 states. The only one that it is not in is Nevada.
81:05And when you sign up with Code Flock, you are also going to be getting $50 added to your account after you play
81:14your first 10. And you'll get free questions for these live streams. And again, I'll be live streaming every single day until Christmas, so you have
81:22plenty of qu chances to get your questions in. Links in the description as well as the comment section.
81:30Now, um, interesting note to see that ETN at the moment they have within 80%
81:39chance of scoring 14 or more fantasy points. That has jumped up 38% since Alvin Kamar has been rolled out. So again, I would say that ETN for your
81:50lineups is an absolute jam. You have to get them in.
81:56And God, I hope JMO outscores this because I need him, too. Now, let's go ahead and let's dive into some of these.
82:04So, Saiigu says, "Z Flowers or Bucky in the flex?" And then London or Ave at wide receiver. Here's the deal, man. A
82:12lav is a mustart absolute jam.
82:21like a lav in this setup.
82:27You have no Jordan Tyson.
82:30The game environment, I mean, we literally just had Poly Market US pulled up, but look at this. The over is 49 and
82:38a half points, 52% chance of hitting.
82:43And the Detroit Lions are heavily favored here. So the Saints are going to have to throw the ball over and over
82:48again. So Alve is healthy, has no target competition, is in a phenomenal game environment.
82:58You just absolutely have to go through and you have to jam them in. And then between save flowers, Bucky Irving, this would be a much tougher setup.
83:14Um, like if it wasn't for Shawn Tucker missing this game, it'd be very easy to say Z Flowers, but because Shawn Tucker
83:25is going to be missing and now we don't have to worry about say Shawn Tucker stealing goal line rushing touchdowns. And the only thing that we
83:35have to worry about for Baky is instead Kenneth Gainwell. That's the only running back that's also in this back field. Bucky does become
83:47significantly more appealing. I would probably play Z Flower still, but not the easiest call.
83:57Now, Missouri is asking Dallas or Kyle Pittz. So, interesting note that Eli Sters did just go on the injured
84:06reserve. Eli Towers, rookie tight end that they took in the second round, won the Mackie Award, super impressive prospect,
84:16phenomenal athlete.
84:20Um, But if he's gone and Goddard's now
84:40having no concerns and we don't expect Micaia Lemon to do much early on, I think we go ahead and jam Dallas
84:52Goddard.
84:54It sucks because I drafted Kyle Pittz well ahead of Goddard. But until Micaia Lemon starts to see work, until Mai Limit is somebody we have to
85:03worry about taking targets, God looks like a super strong play.
85:11Now Christian Watson or Romanude, very easy Christian Watson here. While Rome is playing, I do think you want to be slightly hesitant to just jam them in
85:20coming off the injury. And if we go through and map this out with Watson, I know I've said this a bunch, but
85:34like I think the Packers throw the ball a ton with no Josh Jacobs. This may be a game environment in which they do just
85:46straight up like abandon the run almost.
85:54Okay.
85:55Now, Quinton Johnson or Malik Neighbors, you know, I'm a massive Quinton Johnson guy, but this is a spot in which I would
86:05say you still probably roll the dice on Neighbors. Now again, if you are going to plan on playing Malik Neighbors,
86:15it's much better in a situation in which you know who you would cut in the scenario in which Neighbors
86:27misses and you need to pick up Malachi Fields. If you don't have an easy cut, right, if you're like, damn, the worst
86:33player on my bench is Casey Conception and I would hate to move on from him, then maybe you play it safe.
86:44But if you would have an easy cut where you're like, "Hey, the guy down on my bench right now is Caleb Douglas. I can
86:50move on from him for Malachi Fields, no problem." then you could feel a little more comfortable going through and rolling the dice on Neighbors because
86:57what's so enticing about Neighbors this week specifically is like you have a phenomenal matchup
87:09against the Dallas Cowboys, right? Like if Neighbors was fully healthy, he never suffered the injury last season.
87:16Malik Neighbors in my rankings this week probably would have been wide receiver four in this setup. Maybe even wide receiver three.
87:28Now, of course, not fully healthy, so we can't put him there for sure. Um, Julius says, "Hookamorins." Hook is my friend.
87:36Mark Andrews or Dalton Concincaid.
87:43Really tough setup. Um, for me, I have Concaid on my team, so biasly I want to say, "Oh, yeah, it's gonna be Dolan
87:49Concaid, blah blah blah." and reality, who freaking knows? Um, I would say Andrews is in a good game environment and I like the spot against the Colts
88:00more than I do the spot against the Texans. So, I think I go ahead and I think I would play Mark Andrews in that
88:09instance.
88:12Um, JCTH says, "Sit love for JCM. You cannot play Jakori Crossing Merit this week.
88:20Bunch of different things happening with JCM. One, very similar to Jeremiah Love.
88:27We do not know what the workload's going to be.
88:32Two, very similar with Jeremiah Love, he's in a game environment in which we
88:40just want to be straight up avoiding it.
88:47like we don't want to be playing anybody from this offense. I'll go ahead and pull this up again. But right now, it's
88:54like a 7030 chance that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to be winning this game on Poly Market US. The spreads 5 and a
89:02half points. And right now, Washington has a team total of 19.5
89:10and there is more money on it going lower than 19.5 rather than over.
89:19So, very similar to how we saw these market makers being super low on the New England Patriots offense coming into this week, the Commanders is the next
89:28trap offense that you have. It's a tough matchup against Philly. Their offensive line possibly just get straight up dominated.
89:37Like Jaka Crossit would be an incredibly tough player to play.
89:45Let me see right now. Yeah, Jakori Cross's like 5050 to go 10 or more fantasy points this week. And because he's not going to catch the ball, the
89:54ceiling is going to be capped as well.
89:56Now, obviously, if you see any of these markets that interest you, links in the description to Poly Market US Code Flock
90:03gets you $50 added to your account after you deposit your first 10. And on top of that, you'll get free questions for
90:09these live streams. And Poly Market US is available in 49 out of 50 states, every state but Nevada.
90:18So, please do not play Jakori Cross Merritt. Jeremiah Love is in a similarly bad situation.
90:28But Jeremiah Love, you're betting on the talent, not the situation. I don't think we can say the same thing about JCM.
90:39Um Jaden says, "London or Luther Burden upside."
90:44You still got to go London. Like it sucks. Obviously lower your expectations with Drake London. Don't get me wrong.
90:54But here, Drake London has had back-to-back seasons as a top 10 wide receiver in points per game with bad quarterback
91:06play. Now, I get it. This week, he now has horrendous quarterback play. So, little bit of a different sit um scenario,
91:15but Luther Burden we've seen be viable for like two weeks ever.
91:20So, I don't think we can go with Luther Burden.
91:25And ladies and gentlemen, do you know what's going to hit so hard today? I'm trying to let myself save it. Is
91:31obviously, if y'all don't know, I was live super late last night. I was live until like 1:00 in the morning last
91:36night. Obviously, we've been live for an hour and a half now already. So, I barely got any sleep.
91:44So, I am very tired if you can't tell.
91:49But what is going to hit so hard and what I am saving is an energy drink. Oh, hallelujah. Oh,
92:00it's going to be so good. It's going to be so good. Um, yeah. When this energy drink hits, your boy is going to be in
92:08heaven. I will say I am very clearly addicted to energy drinks. I do not recommend them to anybody. Um, of course, here's my concern. Let me know
92:18what y'all think in the chat here. And this is me going off the rails. We'll get back to fantasy question in just one
92:22second. But, um, Steamer says, "Joey Porter isn't playing London upscale." I I'm not going to say Joey Porter's out, which funny
92:31enough, I actually the only time I've ever gotten to go to like the NFL draft or do like anything super cool like that
92:37was the year that Joey Porter got drafted. So, I actually got to interview Joey Porter, funny enough. Um, but Yeah, him being out, it matters way way
92:48way way way more to Drake London, the fact that his quarterback plays garbage rather than Joey Porter's missing.
92:56But spam the chat yes or no. Simple yes or no. I need help with this.
93:03Should I be worried that energy drinks are my generation's cigarettes where if you go back say 40 years ago
93:13or my grandparents, my parents when they grew up, every single person smoked, you smoked on planes, people were like, "Yeah, it's
93:21not the best for you, but it's not bad.
93:23It's not going to kill you." And then obviously we learned eh that it turned out to be wrong.
93:32I am worried that um that's going to be me with energy drinks. I'm going to be worried that they they're they're telling us that 200
93:42milligrams of caffeine a day is not too much. But uh my heart's going to say differently when I'm 60 years old 30
93:50years from now.
93:52So um I'm letting myself do it. I I don't drink. I don't do drugs. Let me have my
94:03My drug is my energy drink. So, and I look forward to it. It has me hooked. It has its talents, its claws into me so
94:11deep down.
94:14Let me waste money on my sports cards and let me waste my health on my energy drinks and we'll see what happens. Now,
94:24um, Rhino says Rome, Michael Mayer, or Tyler Algier. Very easily Roma say here like do not play. Let's all be on the
94:34same page right this second.
94:37If Jeremiah Love plays today and you play Tyler Alier when they are 10point dogs, um, it's the worst play of all time.
94:51Like if anybody watching this has Tyler Algier in their lineup right now, for the love of God, look for alternatives.
94:58Of course, if Jeremiah Love is a surprise and active, then at that point, you're good to go.
95:05But and then Hubard or Malik Neighbors for sure plan on playing Malik Neighbors there. And yeah, if you needed to go
95:12through and if you needed to pivot over to Malachi Fields, you do you.
95:17Okay. Now, Brian Thomas Jr. or Marshon Lloyd in the flex. Um, a very fair question. Honestly, I don't have a super
95:24strong answer for you one way or another. I think you can make a very strong argument for both sides. I Let me
95:32see how I had it in my flex rankings because nothing's changed for me in comparison to when we did our flex
95:39rankings a couple days ago with these two guys.
95:43And I did. Okay, so here's the thing.
95:45Literally pulling up my flex ranks right now. Um, I had Marshon Lloyd at 58 and Brian Thomas at 59, which is why when you ask me, I'm
95:55like, good question. I don't know. Yeah.
95:57So, again, I have Marshall Lloyd one spot ahead of Brian Thomas in my flex ranks. I think that they are essentially
96:04the same exact projection this week.
96:08Lloyd probably has a higher floor.
96:10Thomas probably has a higher ceiling.
96:13Um, when in doubt, I'm going to go with the running back that projects to see volume, though. So, I would go ahead and
96:18I would play Marshon Lloyd, but it is so damn close. Now, Craig is asking Jaden Daniels or Tyler Shuck. It's crazy to
96:29think that this is actually a valid question, which it is, don't get me wrong. Um, very valid question here with how bad
96:38the Commander offense projects out this week. I would still go ahead. I would still take Jaden Daniels over Tyler Shuck, but it's a good question to ask.
96:50Now, start two between DJ Moore, Rasheed Rise, Trey Tucker, and Jaylen Wadd. Um, I don't love this game environment. I think the overunder is only like 44 and
97:00a half points, so it should be slightly lower scoring, but I would most likely just go ahead and play the combination
97:06of Rashid Rice and Wadd. It would be different if maybe say we had a really good setup for the matchup when it came
97:16to DJ Moore, but DJ Moore is in a tough spot himself going up against the Houston Texans. So, yeah, I would go
97:23ahead and I would play Rice and Wadd there, my friend. Now, Toun says, "Patrick Mahomes or Jaden Daniels?" Now, this is a very tough setup as well
97:33because again, we keep going back to the projections of these respective offenses. I know I've already showed y'all here on Poly Market US that the
97:42current projection for the total points scored for the Washington Commanders is 19 and
97:50a half, right? 19 and a half. And there's more money on the lower than the over.
97:59Let me go ahead and see where we're at with the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City. Again, this game environment is not one we really want to be attacking
98:07in fantasy either. Um, right now the Chiefs are at 22 and a half. There's more money on the over though than the
98:16under, but I would say the Kansas City Chiefs are going to be more runheavy in this game. And Patrick Mahomes isn't going to
98:24have as much rushing upside as what you get with Jaden Daniels. So, it is not the easiest call in the world here to
98:32say the least.
98:36I would probably go with Daniels, but both offenses project to be pretty bad.
98:42But can I show y'all what happened yesterday? I told y'all I put $25 on the prediction that Texas was going
98:50to win. And y'all know I am a Texas fan.
98:54Um, and I took this screenshot here to show because I literally was besides myself the $25 I put on
99:06Texas yesterday.
99:09Went down to $1 in value. Went down to $1. Texas had a 4% chance to beat Ohio State. And then of course what ended up
99:20happening at the very end is we came soaring back rising from the ashes and we won our prediction. So very exciting
99:32was a devastating outlook for us there.
99:34Ended up working out. And again I'll remind y'all if you want to get free questions for these streams $50 added to
99:42your account after you deposit your first 10. Poly Market US is available in every state outside of Nevada. Links in the description and comment section.
99:52Now, let's look at Cardell Tate verse Malik Neighbors. So, I would say both of these players have incredibly low floors. It's Cardell Tate's first NFL
100:03game ever and the game environment he's in, I think the overunder is 38 and a half points. So, um, Cardell Tate super
100:14low floor. Malik Neighbors super low floor as well. We don't even know if he's playing.
100:21But with that in mind, um, who has the ceiling between these two
100:36guys?
100:38If you were to tell me one of them was a top three wide receiver this week, my jaw would be on the ground if that was
100:45Carnell Tate, I don't think I would feel the same way if it was Malik Neighbors.
100:52So, I would go Neighbors. Again, make sure that you're in a setup that you could pivot over to like
101:02Malachi Fields if he doesn't play.
101:11But I see somebody saying that we have Dejon Stribbling news. Let me go ahead and see if I can find that.
101:18Okay.
101:20What do we got on stribbling?
101:28Is he going to the IR be my assumption.
101:32Okay.
101:35Now, Rapaort says Dejon Stribbling will miss quote unquote at least one month with deltoid sprain in his ankle.
101:44Surgery not currently planned, but still possible.
101:49My read on the Dean Shribling stuff was he was an exciting late round dart throw.
101:55That was an underwhelming prospect that was getting propped up in a really good situation considering the fact that you had Ricky
102:06Pierall hit the IR and Christian Kirk hit the IR.
102:10But now at this point that Debo Samuel looks like he has some juice.
102:20I would say that I would be highly skeptical that Dean Shribbling does anything this season.
102:29If you can throw him on your IR, cool.
102:31By all means, throw him on your IR. But um like if you have him on your bench and you're wasting a bench spot with him
102:41and your league doesn't have an IR slot at that point I would strongly consider just cutting
102:54them.
102:56Now a Ferish says, "Should I start ladder swift at the flex in a half PPR format?" In my
103:06opinion, you should pretty clearly go ahead and play actually it would have been very clear
103:15to play DeAndre Swift if we had no Kyle Manungai.
103:20But now that Kyle Manungai is going to be good to go, it is much much tougher here, my friend.
103:32I wouldn't fault you for going either way. I think you most likely have the upside shot with Vlad Maki and I think you have the
103:41floor with DeAndre Swift.
103:49Um Ashid says the flock golf hats look pretty cool. Um, well, hopefully you filled out the Google form and we are
103:55sending out those free hats. Um, um, we probably should I mean, you
104:14should hopefully be seeing those free hats get in your inbox soon, but the shipping process has started for the free flock fantasy hats. Um, so
104:25again, if you filled out the Google form, um, hopefully you don't have to wait too too long if you end up getting
104:32a hat. Now, of course, it's a free giveaway, so please don't be mad if you don't get one. I ordered 2,000 and I'm
104:38shipping out 2,000 hats for free for y'all. Um, but more than 2,000 people filled out the Google form.
104:50Okay, now let's see. We got Romanun, Bashel Tudin, or Wandel Robinson.
105:02I think here you just have to play Beayalt Tutin. I don't think it's that close either.
105:08Like it's pretty clear in my mind that if you if you drafted Tootton, right,
105:23you are most likely a believer that Beel Toutton is the starting running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars, right?
105:33And if that is your stance with it that Bashel Tutin is the starting running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars,
105:43why would you not play him in a game in which they are favored
105:53eight and a half points?
105:57So, I think you probably need to go through and you probably need to plan on starting Bashell, too. And if you're
106:07comparing him to like Weel Robinson, right now, of course, if you're comparing him to maybe Jameson Williams, different conversation.
106:15Um, Brooks says, "Pop the energy drink, Mason. You're already kind of slow." I know I'm slow. I I promise you when I
106:20pop the energy drink, we're going to be flying through these things, but I got to save it. I gotta save it because we
106:27can't have the crash later in the stream. Now, Sir Benjamin says, "Should we drop Mahomes for Tyler Shuck?" No.
106:35You could make a strong argument that Tyler Shuck is a better play than Patrick Mahomes this week based on matchups.
106:45However, that's not going to be the case rest of
106:56season. Rest of season, I would way rather have Patrick Mahomes overshock.
107:02Big deal says, "Morning Mason. What's your favorite energy drink?" Okay, so the answer as of now is going to be what
107:08I show y'all. How? And actually, it's not even the answer anymore because they changed it.
107:17They changed the formula so it's not my favorite so anymore but this is what it was back in the day.
107:24However, if anybody is watching this from Red Bull and you're in Red Bull advertising, I think Red Bull advertising is the
107:36coolest of any energy drink and I would love to be a part of the team. I would absolutely love it. Now, let's be real
107:42here. I'm a company man.
107:45So any energy drink that puts me on the payroll, you're my favorite. Let me put that out there. Right. But and this was
107:54what my favorite used to be back in the day. The C4 Celsius. I think what I have in the fridge is leftovers from the
108:04Flock League draft, but and I think that's an Alani. So that's what I'll probably be cracking in a second.
108:12Now quarterty says start two lad Tedaroa or DeAndre Swift in a full PPR format.
108:20Damn, these are all really good options.
108:22I wouldn't want to have to bench anybody here to be honest with you, man.
108:28Like lads in an offense that's going to score a ridiculous amount of points.
108:33I like the game environment for DeAndre Swift. Hell, I even like the game environment for Tedo and McMillan.
108:42I think I would go swift and lad, but damn, I would not be surprised at all if Tedor McMillan was a better play there.
108:53Okay, now looking at this next one, Logan says
109:11Neighbors or Godwin. I would go ahead and play Chris Godwin over Malik Neighbors this week. Um, again, I am excited about Godwin. It's a really good
109:20game environment where the spread on this game obviously favors these Cincinnati Bengals. They should be winning, but the overunders is over 50
109:30points. So, there should be plenty of points scored here. And I think that leads to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers having to throw the ball a considerable amount.
109:40And keep in mind with this as well that you're in a situation in which Jaylen McMillan's going to be missing.
109:47So that's just one less competition for target that Godwin will have.
109:54Now Jixie says, "Tight end premium league, Dallas Goddard, Jordan Addison, or Josh DS." In terms of a regular
110:04fantasy league, I'd probably go ahead and take Jordan here. I'm a massive Jordan Addison fanboy. I'll actually show y'all again like I've been telling
110:14y'all.
110:15I'm convinced now y'all are targeting the same cards as I have been because it's been harder for me to buy them.
110:22But um so maybe I should stop showing y'all the sports cards I'm buying. But I already bought this one.
110:29I bought this Jordan Addison card a couple days ago.
110:35Um let me just pull this up.
110:43love Jordan Addison, but in a Titien premium format, you have to go ahead and you have to take Dallas, but here's the Jordan Addison card I
110:53bought. Tell me that is not badass. Come on.
110:57Big deal always out here. You know I appreciate you, my friend. But Titan Premium, yeah, go Dallas. I love Addison, though. Now, Ara says, "Tuton,
111:05Lad, or Luther Burden for a PPR flag spot?" I would go ahead and I would play Lad Mani. Um, if I'm looking at Beel
111:13Tutin again, I'm excited about the play, but
111:27Lad McConi could easily just be a straight up top 10 wide receiver.
111:34Okay. Hobby says, "I bought a Gengar card. what you know about that. So, here's the deal with me buying sports cards. I'm going to be completely honest
111:40with y'all. Um, I am having to pitch it to Mrs. Flock as a Yes, I am spending a bunch of money on
111:51sports cards, but come on. I'm going to So, what I'm going to do in the office is in the background, I'm going to
111:57replace that like wooden wall with like a bunch of the sports cards I bought.
112:02I'm waiting for like a display to get in so I can put them all up. Um, so I can at least pitch it as like, hey, it's for
112:09my office. It's for the videos. It's for the studio. I need the football cards.
112:13It's a fantasy football channel. If I stepped into buying Pokemon cards, it'd be tougher for me to justify it to her.
112:21Mrs. Flock would not be as happy with it.
112:24Now, Aiden says, "Jackson Dart or Justin Herbert?" Um, Jackson Dart, phenomenal matchup. Justin Herbert set up in a situation in which they are legitimately
112:33just going to straight up stomp [snorts] and I mean they are going to stomp the Arizona Cardinals. But for that reason as well, you probably don't have
112:44a ton of passing attempts. However, I think you have a high floor with Herbert. I'd go Herbert um based on the
112:50fact that it sounds like Neighbors May and people saying are they taxdeductible? I wish they were taxdeductible. So, my first thought was,
112:58"Oh, they're sports cards. I'm going to put them up in my office. Let me go ahead and claim that they're taxdeductible." And then, but of course,
113:05before I do any of that, I have to talk to the accountant. And before I even asked the accountant, I just looked it
113:10up on um Google. And Google came back and said, "Hell no, do not do that unless you want to go to prison." So, um
113:19the sports cards are not taxdeductible.
113:21I wish they were though.
113:25Now, let's see. Dash with Jim Mo as Christian Watson or Chris Godwin. I'm definitely going to go Christian Watson.
113:32Again, I'm starting Christian Watson myself this week. I am very excited about the upside case because ultimately this team is going to have to throw the
113:39ball with no Josh Jacobs.
113:44now start Pierce Coker Fields if no neighbors or if he does play and I do a trade where I get Tet and Wilson for
113:52Rice, which of the two should I go with?
113:56So, if you're down to like this gross of a range, I wouldn't mind you making that kind of trade.
114:06Okay?
114:09But if it's just down between Alec Pierce or Jaylen Coker, I would take Alec Pierce. The concern
114:34that you have with Alec Pierce, of course, is that he's not fully healthy and he's going to be limited and pay um
114:39possibly be on a snap count. But unless they tell us that directly, I will say it is a very good game environment with
114:47a really high total um for the Colts Ravens.
114:54Now, Moses says 12 team PPR Gainwell or Brian Thomas Jr. So, here's the deal. I would not be surprised at all if
115:02Gainwell had a very large role.
115:05It really would not be shocking.
115:09But with that in mind, there is no way in hell I am starting Kenneth Gainwell before we see what the actual role is on
115:18his team.
115:20I wouldn't fault you for doing so because you have no Shawn Tucker, but I am not willingly starting a backup running back
115:36before the even I mean before the season even gets here.
115:43So, week one, I'm not starting a backup running back. It's a good setup for them. I understand they're going to have
115:48to throw the ball a ton. They may be playing catchup and that will be a Kenneth Gainwell game script, but yeah, not playing him over Brian Thomas
116:06Jr. Go Thomas. Should we trade David McGomery and Jameson Williams for Rasheed Rice? I'm going to be honest with you, my friend. I'm not going to be
116:14able to give you a good answer there. If your team was linked with the site and I could go through and check all that out,
116:19then I probably could give you a better answer. I could look at the context of your team, how it changes your lineup,
116:23blah blah blah. But um I I have no idea if you should or not. I don't know what your team is.
116:32It's fair value, but Toutin or Pierce, if this is Bashell Tut or Alec Pierce, it's Bashell Tutin.
116:38It's not close.
116:40Again, I want to reiterate this. I'm not the biggest Belle Tutin guy, but if you drafted Beayel Tutin
116:52and you decided to bench him week one when he's an eight and a half point
117:03favorite, why did you draft him in the first place?
117:10Okay. J Mo or Tiggins also if neighbors good. Should I start Igbuka over him?
117:16For sure. Play Ibuka over Malik Neighbors. That is not even remotely close.
117:20You cannot play Malik Neighbors over Ibuka. Do not do that.
117:27Um and then J Mo or T. Higgins. I think both players are put into very good positions, but no, I think you have to go through.
117:37I think you have to I think you have to play Higgins.
117:50I'm I hope I'm wrong. I hope J Mo crushes because I have J on my team. But real quick, as y'all can tell, we're
117:56going to be answering a ridiculous amount of questions from the live chat.
117:59I'm going to be live all the way until kickoff answering your questions for free. However, I do have some priority questions we have to get to on
118:05flockfantasy.com. So, let me pivot over to those and then we'll go right back to the chat. Now, Quinnland says, "First year with the Flock. Thank you so much
118:13for joining, my friend. Extremely excited for this season. I used your videos and rankings to draft a team I'm incredibly happy with. Although, I would
118:22like to know your opinion on if I should try to acquire a better quarterback.
118:25Worried Stafford will regress. Thank you. PS, Zufa was made for the Flock League 100%." I mean, I thought uh in the fan competition, I voted Zufa my
118:36number one pick and everybody gave me crap for it. But I think they are now beginning to realize that yes, Zufa was
118:46the correct choice for the league. Zufa is the absolute freaking man.
118:52Now, looking at the squad now, this is a 12 team start format. Man, you have the easiest pivot that you could ever make
119:00right now.
119:01If you are able to drop Deon Stribbling, you for sure should drop scribbling and
119:15pick up Mai Lemon.
119:18100% make that pivot.
119:21If you can't drop Stribbling and pick up Mai Lemon, I would still drop Kyle Manungai and pick up Mai Lemon. and a 12
119:28team start eight format like this, there's a damn good chance that Mai Lemon makes a significant difference for
119:37your roster. So, I would go ahead. I would make that pivot.
119:43Quarterback, we have Stafford, Tyler Shuck. Not the best quarterback room, but with that in being said, like you're in a situation in which
119:55it's a double flex league. So it being a double flex league, you do need to build out skill depth. So we're fine being
120:01slightly weaker at quarterback.
120:06Now going over to where we sit at running back, we have Hen Kiran at RB.
120:14We have Raadre RJ Harvey as well.
120:20Wide receiver, we have Justin Jefferson, Al J Mo, Christian Watson, we have Harold Fanati. This is an incredible team.
120:28For the construction that you have of this roster, I think that this makes a ton of sense given your league format.
120:39I would go ahead. I would leave this as is. I would legitimately just make that waiverwire pivot where I would cut
120:47Deon's dribbling ASAP and pick up Lemon.
120:51And that honestly may give you the best team in this league.
120:56Now, let's move this over to G. Fiser.
120:59Here at running back, you are going to play Quinn Sean Judkins and Bucky Irving over RJ Harvey and JCM Easily. Wide
121:08receiver, you're going to have to roll the dice on Neighbors, man. I'm going to be honest with you. It's like we play
121:13Brian Thomas and then it's like Xavier Worthy or Malik Neighbors. Play Neighbors there. Go Harvey in the flex.
121:19But it is nice you having Xavier Worthy on this team because if Malik Neighbors doesn't play, then at that point you
121:27could pivot over to Malik Neighbors. No problem.
121:30Okay.
121:33Now going over to our next question.
121:36This one's from Dear Mr. Fantasy. Wide receiver. We're looking at Pitman, Meyers, or Reed. I am going to play Pitman there. I'm a little less excited
121:46about Pitman knowing that the Atlanta Falcons offense is absolutely falling apart. So, with the Falcons offense falling apart,
121:56um you are in a position in which you can make an argument the Steelers aren't going to have to
122:08throw the ball. And that would maybe be one of my biggest concerns.
122:11Now here for JJ quarterback between Mahomes Kyler. Kyler is a much better matchup. I would for sure go Kyler in this instance for the flex between
122:21Burton Moore and David McGomery.
122:24Actually a really tough call here. I'm going to be honest.
122:28Like I don't know what the right answer is, man.
122:34I think McGomery gives you the floor.
122:35Luther Burden gives you the ceiling.
122:39DJ Moore obviously has a very very tough matchup.
122:50I probably go Luther Burden with it being a full PBR format, but I 100% could be wrong there.
122:58Now, Hellboy Jordan says, "It's good to be back. Good luck today, Team of Destiny. I am happy to see you, my
123:03friend. Back with us for another season.
123:05I appreciate you coming back and returning." But here looking at this man, you got to start Devonte Smith and J Mo pretty um easily. Jawan Johnson at
123:16tight end and then you throw Jaylen Wadd in there at the flex. Play all three of those receivers. Your team is good
123:21enough where you don't need to roll the dice with Neighbors. If Neighbors plays cool, that means we'll have them for next week, which we can be happy about.
123:31But let me answer these next start set questions and then we'll um pivot back over and we'll get to the free questions
123:38in the chat. Again, this from cur trading Chase Brown, Rasheed Rice for Aan and London. I wouldn't do this right now until we get clarity that we are
123:48going to eventually see London have viable quarterback play again. So, um for me, I would leave this with the Chase Brown as well as the Rasheed Rice
123:58side.
124:00Okay, now Quinn Lan Kelly, we have Christian Watson down in the flex as the I mean we have Christian
124:11Watson as the player on the bench. That would be the best guy to get in the lineup. But your flex with JMO and Devon
124:16Han you leave as is. The numbers Mason in here for the flex.
124:23We are looking at the options of Gainwell, Jordan Addison, DJ Moore, Quinton Johnston. I'm going to go DJ Moore despite it being a tough matchup.
124:33Daddy Matt. Um I don't exactly know. I'm afraid you filled this out wrong, man.
124:38Actually, no. Never mind. It is filled out correctly. Um it's just weirdly format. So on our bench right now, Brian Thomas would be the best name to get
124:47into the lineup, but we definitely can't play Thomas over Bree Wadd Luther Burton or Aan. So we leave this as is. Now Raul
124:55coming through here at wide receiver. Um I would roll the dice that Neighbors plays if this was my team. I would throw
125:01Neighbors at the flex and then I'd put the combo most likely of like Quinton Johnson and Jordan Addison here. And then if you needed to pivot off of
125:10neighbors, you could honestly just pivot to Isaiah likely if you put neighbors there at the flex spot. Now MVA here for
125:18the flex. Um I would go neighbors here pretty easily over Jordan and Quinton Johnston because you have Xavier Worthy that you could pivot to on Monday night.
125:29Now hefty switch for the flex. It's between Pitman, Stefon Diggs, Rashad White. I am going to go ahead and play Michael Pitman as I do not trust the
125:40matchup there for Diggs. Newton's Law coming through with a massive massive dono. My guy, I appreciate you. Let me send you over some more free questions.
125:48Um here for the flex, we are choosing between Neighbors Wadd um Anderson. So very interesting setup because obviously Waddle is playing Monday night. So, with
125:59bottle playing on Monday night, like you do have the flexibility where um you I could tell you like, "Hey, let's go Neighbors." And if Neighbors
126:09doesn't play, then it's pretty easy for you to just go ahead and pivot over to Jaylen Wadd in that instance.
126:22So, I'd go ahead and honestly I'd play Malik Neighbors there, man. Now, we have a couple team reviews we are going to get
126:29to, but first I want to get back and answer some of the free questions in the live chat. So, please um again, I'm
126:37going to be live all the way until kickoff. We've already been live for over two hours, and last night I was
126:41live until 1 in the morning. So, um I'm going to try to answer as many of your free questions as I possibly can. Every
126:48single um day, we're going to be live until Christmas. But Sunday morning streams are by far and way the most important for us. So, um, if you have
126:59not done so already, please go down there, drop a like on this live stream.
127:04It would help a ton. Subscribe to the channel again if you want to be able to ask those free questions. And if you
127:11wanted to support the channel, the number one way you could would be by checking out the markets on Poly Market.
127:18Um, here going through you can see a ton of fantasy football stuff, right? where obviously you have the live odds and
127:24which team is going to win. Um, but also at the same time you can go through and you can check out the overunder of
127:32fantasy points for pretty much any player that you would like. And Poly Market is available in 49 out of 50 states. If you sign up with Code Flock,
127:41you're going to get $50 added to your account right after you deposit 10 bucks. Links in the description. It's in the comment section. and code flock will
127:50get you free questions that you can ask in these live streams.
127:54Now, let me go ahead and pick some questions that we have in the chat. This one from Alex is asking Rome or Bayell
128:03Tutin. Very, very tough call here if I'm going to be completely honest. Again, my default I keep going back to is if you
128:12drafted Bashel Tudin, I'm going to assume that you believe Bashel Tudin is the starting running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars, fight.
128:38If you think that and you bench Bashel Tudin in a game in which they are eight and a half point favorites over the
128:46Browns, I don't know why you drafted him in the first place.
128:51So, I would go ahead and I'd play Tuden probably over Rome considering Rome is banged up. But Rome's going to play of
128:57course. Now DJ Moore or DK Metaf, it is a very tough matchup for DJ Moore of course, but I would still play him over
129:06Metaf because again with Metaf I may be a little concerned here that this
129:16Pittsburgh Steelers team doesn't have to throw the ball.
129:21Maybe they just go out there and they run it over and over and over again.
129:28Now, Shakir or Stefon Digs, no way in hell I'm starting Khalil Shakir week one.
129:35If you currently have Khalil Shakir in your starting lineup, you need to look yourself in the mirror and go, "What am
129:42I doing? How did I get here?"
129:47Yeah, please go with Stefon Diggs in that instance. I don't love Diggs.
129:52Definitely a lot better than Shakir, uh Josh Allen, or Justin Herbert. The Chargers offense is going to be significantly better than the Bills
130:00offense today. But Josh Allen's going to give you a ton of rushing upside. And there's also a chance that the Arizona
130:07Cardinals are so bad against the Chargers that we don't get a ton of dropbacks for Herbert and instead they can just run the ball consistently. So,
130:18I would go ahead and I would play Josh Allen in this instance. I understand why you're asking the question, and I very easily could
130:26see Justin Herbert being the right call here, but if it was my team, I'm playing Josh Allen. Like, again, if you drafted
130:34Josh Allen to bench Josh Allen in week one, why did you draft him in the first place?
130:43Now we have Rico Dattle, DK Metaf, or Roma Dunce. I would go ahead and I'd play Roma Dunce. The overunder of the
130:50Carolina Panthers and Chicago Bears games relatively I mean it's very high to be honest. So should be a pretty high-scoring game. And with that in
130:59mind, um I think we probably want to start Bears where we can. Again, not the easiest play to say Roman say knowing is
131:10coming off an injury, but still now we got this from something like that says neighbors
131:21Parker Washington, Jale or Marshon Lloyd in the flex and then Kyler or Bo Nigs at quarterback.
131:28In my opinion, I would very much want you to go through and play Kyler over Bodex.
131:40I don't think that's a question. I think that's very easy. The neighbors Parker Washington, Well, Marshon Lloyd is where it gets difficult. If you want to play
131:49it safe, you go ahead and you play Marshon Lloyd. If you want to roll the dice, you play Malik Neighbors. But
131:58hopefully we get some word on Neighbors before that game.
132:03Um, we'll see.
132:06Now, someone says Neighbors or Marshon Lloyd/B Brooks in the flex. Whatever you do, do not play Brooks.
132:14Again, the upside I mean I'm I know I'm not like saying anything groundbreaking here. I know everybody already understands this, but the upside case is
132:23with neighbors and the floor case is with Marshall and Lloyd, which is crazy to say that Marshon Lloyd
132:34is the one that has the floor there cuz um
132:43God, it's it's tough to say that. Now going over to this next one. This is Chris Godwin or Jaory Cross in the flex
132:54with how bad the commanders project to be. I showed you all on poly market US. They have the Commanders at
133:05I want to say 19 and a half points for their team total.
133:13With how bad the commanders project to be, no part of me, and I mean no part of me at all would want to tell you to play Jaori
133:22Kroski Merritt.
133:26So, please do not play JCM.
133:30Now, Bucky or T. Higgins? A very fair question there. I think both players are set up in a really good spot. Um,
133:37between the two of them though, I would prefer T. Higgins, but very close between them.
133:45Okay, now going over to our next question.
133:51This is from Ollin.
133:56says, "Flex Tedo McMillan or Luther Burden in a full PPR format." This would have been a tough call if Roma Dunce
134:05would have missed, but with Rome playing, I think it's pretty damn easy to just say, "Let's go ahead and let's
134:13jam in Tedaro McMillan."
134:17I think it's honestly an easy call to do just that.
134:22Okay.
134:26Now, let's go ahead and find our next one. Jaylen Waddle or Cam Scataboo in the flex. I'm going to go
134:37ahead. I will play Cam Scat here. Like with Waddle, I really don't like the game environment against Kent City Chiefs. The over under that game
134:44surprisingly low.
134:48Got a lot of people asking Quinton Johnson or Jonathan Brooks in the flex.
134:54I think you probably need to go through and need to play Quinton Johnston. It sucks. But the latest
135:04projections that we've been looking at, they do have Jonathan Brooks just as like a committee running back here with
135:14Chuba Hubard.
135:17Obviously, we don't know if that will be the case for sure. there is a lot of uncertainty, but with how much uncertainty there is
135:26in that back field.
135:30I would probably just want to wait to end up seeing what we get um before we ever commit to starting
135:39Hubard or Jonathan Brooks.
135:44Now, our next one's going to be Flex Warren, Neighbors, Burden, or Addison.
135:53I'm gonna go ahead. Oh, dear God. I think you play Luther Burden if it's a full PBR format. Jaylen Warren's become
136:01significantly more appealing for me as the week's gone on though because again, now that we can say with confidence that
136:11the Atlanta Falcons are cooked and the Pittsburgh Steelers are winning this game, I want to believe they can run the ball in the second half.
136:22Okay, let's see. Michael Wilson or Jordan Addison. Very, very easy spot for Jordan Addison.
136:29Addison, great matchup.
136:33I know Michael Wilson looked very strong at the end of last season and he actually won me a ton of money as well
136:39in baseball drafts. Like I'll be honest, we ended up profiting like 40k and it was be because one, Quinton Johnson was my most drafted player and
136:48he was like a top 24 wide receiver after being drafted as like the wide receiver 70. And then also because Michael Wilson
136:54was a top five guy for me in terms of my exposure. though. Um, I love Michael Wilson. I appreciate the man, but I'll
137:02call a spade a spade. Last year, we had no Marvin Harrison when he popped off.
137:08Jordan, we've seen be a top 24 wide receiver in back-to-back seasons as a rookie and a secondyear player, even with the healthy Justin Jefferson. And
137:17now this offense projects to be much, much better at the same time.
137:23Okay, let's look at this next one. We got Gainwell or Christian Watson. Again, I I under I get it. I I I truly do. I
137:33understand why people are excited here about Kenneth Gainwell.
137:40It's an environment in which he is going to go through. He is going to be used as a receiver quite a bit.
137:48Over under the game super high. There's a chance that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers end up having to throw the ball a ton in
137:55the second half.
137:57But at the end of the day, how the hell am I going to start a backup running back week one before we know exactly
138:05what the role looks like with it being his first team ever?
138:10Like there's no reason to try to like I don't it would be like you're trying to prove something to someone.
138:21Just play Christian Monson.
138:25who's already a full-time player pretty much for the Green Bay Packers last season.
138:30And now they lost Romeo Dobs and Dantavian Wixs and they probably have to throw the ball consider um consistently considering the
138:41fact they have no Jacobs. So Watson's the play it man.
138:46Now Scat Pack or Bay Shelton I will go ahead and I will play Cam Scataboo here.
138:51I am so effing in like I'm just so damn excited for today.
138:58Like I can't I'm gonna be honest. I cannot stand up right now because that is how excited I am for today. If I
139:04stand up right now, this stream is getting taken off of YouTube.
139:08Do y'all mind if I just go through?
139:09We'll get back to the questions in one second. Can we go through and can I say game by game what I am most excited to
139:17see?
139:21Chicago, Carolina. I am so damn excited to see what Luther Burden, Coulson Lovelin look like in year two.
139:30For Carolina, eh, I drafted a lot of I'm excited to see Jonathan Brooks. What's the split between Jonathan Brooks and Juba Hubard? For Baltimore, it's a brand
139:38new coaching staff. What's the passing rate over expectation for the Baltimore Ravens this year? for the Indianapolis Colts. How does Daniel Jones look coming
139:48off the torn Achilles? Now, for me personally, I have Jonathan Taylor on my team, so I pray it's great.
139:56Atlanta, nothing. I'm going to be honest. Nothing excites me about the Falcons. And I'll be honest, nothing excites me about Pittsburgh. This is like the most boring
140:04game of the week for me. This sucks.
140:08Cleveland. I'm going to be honest, nothing excites me about Cleveland.
140:12Maybe Casey Conception, but the quarterback plays so bad it doesn't matter. I am excited to see everything that goes down in Jacksonville. I'm
140:21excited to see what is the split between Beel Tut and Chris Rodriguez. I'm excited to see what is the wide receiver
140:29usage with Brian Thomas, with Parker Washington, with Jacobe Meyers, and do they use Travis Hunter at all there?
140:37Tampa Cincinnati. I am so damn excited to see Igbuka. Now, I may be a little biased. I have him on my team, but
140:44that's what I'm looking forward to. And I'm also interested to see what is Bucky look like and what is the workload they
140:50give him.
140:52Going over to the Jets. Uh the Jets, I'm not excited to see anything. I'll be honest. Tennessee, I'm excited to see
140:59Carnell Tate. I'll admit it. I'm excited to see Carell Tate. I want to trust them this week. But these are the things I'm
141:04looking forward to watching. New Orleans.
141:08I have Travis ETN on my own fantasy team, so I'm excited to see what he looks like there. But if I didn't have
141:12him on my own team, I wouldn't care. And with Detroit, I am very excited to see my guy JMO, who I have on my team.
141:22And I am very worried to see how good Jamir Gibbs is.
141:29Because the main concern that I have is that Jir Gibbs just comes out and he is 2019 level Christian McCaffrey. He
141:39averages 30 fantasy points per game and they use him at like a 100% snap rate which if that happens which it terrifies
141:51me because you would have no chance of winning your league without him and I don't have them. So, I'm excited but
141:58nervous to see the Detroit offense.
142:02Going over to Buffalo verse Houston. Um, for the Bills, I'm somewhat excited to see DJ Moore. Houston, I'm not really excited to see anything.
142:14Yeah, they added David McGomery, but I don't really care to see McGomery.
142:17Arizona, I am legitimately excited here.
142:19I think there is a lot of randomness and a lot that's going to be difficult to project out like for the Cardinals.
142:28What is the setup for the receiving usage with the guys that we have such as Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison, Trey
142:39McBride? Does it look similar to what it did last year?
142:48I'm excited to see the running backs in Arizona. The split that we have with Love and Tyler Algier.
142:56For the Chargers, I'm excited to see Amari and Hampton.
143:06I'm excited to see what this offense looks like with a new coaching staff.
143:11Green Bay, I'm excited to see my guy Christian Watson. And honestly, I think everybody should be excited to see what Marshon Lloyd looks like. Think it'll be
143:18crazy. Minnesota, this is probably I'm going to be honest with y'all. What I am most excited to see this week is I am
143:25most excited to see Kyler Murray and the Minnesota Vikings.
143:30I know obviously that may be a weird thing to say and I completely understand that, but like
143:45This is going to be such a dramatic change from what Kyler Murray has had through his entire NFL career, going to
143:52a good organization with a good coaching staff.
143:56And the Minnesota Vikings are going to go from the worst quarterback play in the league to slightly below average QB play.
144:07So, I'm freaking pumped to see the Minnesota Vikings. probably the thing I'm most looking forward to. Miami, it'll be fun. It'll be interesting.
144:17Let's put it that way. It'll be interesting to see Malik Willis.
144:21The Raiders, I'm not [snorts] going to be excited because we don't have Bowers and we don't have Mendoza yet. I'm excited to
144:28watch the N the Raiders later in the year when we have Mendoza and Bowers.
144:34Washington, I'm not that excited. Philadelphia, I am pumped to see what this offense looks like with the new offensive coordinator and I'm excited to see Micaia Lemon.
144:45Dallas, I'm not that excited just because I mean it's great offense, just nothing's changed. The Giants, I'll be excited to see what the new coaching
144:53staff looks like. What is the usage of Cam Scataboo? And on top of this, like if we get Malik Neighbors, how does
145:03Dart look with Neighbors specifically?
145:06And then Denver, I am so damn excited to see Patrick Mahomes back in action. I'm excited to see Kenneth Walker and how
145:12he's used in Kansas City. And then on the Denver Broncos side of things, I'm excited to see Wadd. Like there is so
145:20much I'm freaking looking forward to.
145:22You have like today is going to be phenomenal. I'm freaking pumped. Now, of course, if y'all wanted to check out any
145:29of these markets, you can see the probabilities here on the right hand side. All of them. They're all on Poly Market US. Um, Code Flock gets you $50
145:38out of your account after you deposit your first 10. And Poly Market US is available in 49 out of 50 states. The
145:45only state it's not in is Nevada.
145:49But let's move this back over to the chat and let's start answering some of these questions as well. Again, um, go
145:56ahead, just drop your questions into the live chat. I'm going to be answering as many of these free ones as I possibly
146:01can. Um, and also with that in mind as well, please, if you have not done so already, go down there, drop a like on
146:09this live stream, 30 minutes from now, I'm going to be getting my energy drink and we are going to be going crazy
146:16answering these questions at 100 miles an hour. Now, Christian Watson or DJ Moore, I think this will be like a week-toeek matchup thing. Um,
146:30but in terms of what I'd be looking at for this week, I like that Christian Watson set up more having no Josh Jacobs in his
146:42offense. And on top of that, um, DJ Moore has a really tough matchup.
146:50I would go ahead and I would play D I'm sorry, Christian Watson.
146:56Now, let's see. Likely or Jawan Johnson at tight end. I'm going Jawan Johnson with confidence. It is a phenomenal setup. It is a phenomenal matchup. Now,
147:07of course, with that being said, um it will look very appealing to play Isaiah likely if we were to have no Malik
147:15Neighbors. However, um I I I
147:28don't know if you can make that call before Neighbors has been ruled out because even if Neighbors is ruled out, I still probably prefer Jawan.
147:35Now, Slay says Rome or Cardell tape wide receiver 3. I would go Rome. The game environment is supposed to just be so
147:41much better.
147:44Like legit, I don't need to show this on the screen, but let me pull up Poly Market real quick. I think the overunder
147:50of the Jets Titans game is 38 and a half points. Yeah, the Jets Titans 38 and a half point overunder.
147:59However, Chicago is at 46 and a half. So, it should just be a much better place for us to be starting names.
148:10And one second.
148:14>> You are the best, my love. I Hey, can I get um I'll take this one. It's fine.
148:19Actually, no. Can I get one of the ones in the drawer?
148:24Sorry, Mrs. Flock's bringing me my energy drink. Oh, this is going to hit. Sweet, sweet nectar going straight into my veins.
148:33Sweet, sweet nectar.
148:36Okay. Um Carnelte or Jaden Reed here. I would go ahead and I would play Thank you.
148:43I would play um Tate overread. Tate overread.
148:50But let's hear the crack.
148:54Oh, I'm getting the tingles before I even sip it.
149:00Now, Godwin or Michael Pitman, very easily Chris Godwin. Um, very similar like if we were just hunting game environments, which is a big thing we
149:07want to be doing from a week-toeek perspective with these start sets.
149:11Chris Godwin's in a great spot, right?
149:14Like the overunder of this game is 49 and a half points for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals.
149:25And you have no Jaylen McMillan, so there will be less competition as well for Chris Godwin on top of it.
149:34Now, should we flex Tucker Craft or Carnell Tate? So, I'm definitely going to go Carnell Tate here. And just to speak on Tucker Craft briefly,
149:43I think this is probably irrational.
149:45Now, I'm just going to say this right now. It's most likely irrational and you most likely should not be making decisions based on what I'm about to
149:52say. But honestly, seeing George KD fall flat coming off his significant injury, his
150:02first week back in, it does make me a little nervous when it comes to just going through and starting Tucker Craft coming off a significant
150:12injury as well. So, I would plan on going Tate. I don't love starting Tate in his first NFL game
150:21ever, but I'd do it.
150:25Now, Skellyy says, "Love the work, Mason. Start two in a full PBR. We go on Neighbors, Burden, Watson, or Cardell Tate." I would go Burden and Watson
150:36here. Again, I don't think you need to take the risk with Carnell Tate in his first NFL game ever.
150:52And I don't think you need to take the risk.
151:22with Malik Neighbors not playing tonight. Like you have damn good names you can look at here.
151:30Okay. Nathaniel says, "Need your thoughts on Jeremiah Love."
151:36I think Jeremiah Love most likely cannot be trusted this week. I think long-term he's going to be in a really good spot and long
151:46term he should be a player that we're excited about.
151:59But One second. Sorry.
152:50Okay. Um, but for week one, they are 10-point dogs against the Los Angeles Chargers. So, I don't think you can trust him,
153:00especially knowing that he is going to be coming off high ankle sprain where he probably splits the back field with Algier.
153:06I would avoid Jeremiah Love if I could this week. I think long term he has a lot of upside, but shortterm I don't
153:14want to trust him.
153:17Big Wood says, "Can't wait for the Everything has changed video tonight." I can't either. I'm going to So, I'm going to be honest with y'all. I was not
153:24planning on this being the strategy, but we are changing something this year. And the change that we're going to make is
153:31I'm going to be live streaming a lot more than I was. Obviously, I've spent years live streaming every single day during the football season, but um what
153:42I had never done before was live streamed live game reactions, but we started doing that. We did that with the Wednesday game on the Flock
153:52League YouTube channel and we did that with the Thursday game as well on the Flock League YouTube channel. So now I
153:59think every prime time game, which I was not planning on doing this, but I think now we have to because those live
154:06streams went incredibly well. It's super fun with um for me to be able to hang out with all the other guys in the Flock
154:12League um talk about the game, talk about fantasy football, etc., etc.
154:17But um I am most likely going to be live streaming on this channel during Sunday Night Football. Um I'm not going to say
154:26most likely. I am for sure going to be live streaming on this channel during Sunday Night Football reacting live to the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants
154:34game. But what that means is typically the recap everything has changed video that we would upload after Sunday Night Football um would be a video that I
154:46would record during Sunday Night Football and edit during Sunday Night Football. But because I can't do that now, I'm going to live stream the recap
154:54um right after Sunday Night Football.
154:56I'll be live here talking about everything that happened today.
155:01Dylan says, "Any injury news this morning?" Let's go ahead and let's pull everything up. So, first thing, um, Chefty just said something regarding
155:11Malik Neighbors.
155:15I think we just got a neighbors update.
155:17Okay, let's go ahead and let's watch this. Um, if this gets me demonetized, taken off YouTube, rest in peace. For the love of God, ESPN, don't come after
155:26me.
155:28>> Chefty Greeny, good morning. Great to see the band back together. And let's go right to the headlines. We'll start with
155:36injuries. Alvin Kamar not expected to play today for the New Orleans Saints.
155:40However, Roma Dun.
155:41>> Okay. So, yeah, I mean, I went through and with Kamar being ruled out, Travis ETN must start name. If you have ATN,
155:48for the love of God, get him in your lineup.
155:49>> And Jeremiah Love are expected to play the big.
155:52>> So, with Rome playing, it does negatively impact Luther Burden slightly. I still think you probably play Luther Bird in really good game
155:59environment and Roma Dunce is flexible himself. I super excited to play him.
156:04No, but you can. Um then looking at Jeremiah Love again long-term really excited about him this week. Have lowered expectations and then Neighbors
156:14the guy we're on the >> injury question centers around Malik Neighbors whose status for tonight's game remains murky at best. The Giants
156:22elevated two wide.
156:23>> So Chevy said murky at best. Right.
156:28Making sure y'all can hear this. Murky at best. And they elevated two wide receivers off their practice squad >> receivers to their 53man roster on
156:36Saturday, but they have not gotten clarity from neighbors who has said he is leaving whether or not he plays to God.
156:44>> Okay, God. If you're listening to me right now as well, I know you can transmit this message to Malik Neighbors.
156:53Have neighbors sit out this week. have him get healthy 100%. Honestly, here's the deal. For me, selfishly, I I don't know if y'all watch the Flock
157:04League stuff. Who here does? Who here doesn't? It's my fantasy football league that I love more than anything in the world. Legitimately, like, it's my
157:11favorite thing on the planet. You have no idea how much it means to me.
157:15In my fantasy league, S plays Jinxy week one, and I want Jinxy to beat him so bad. You have no idea. S has Malik
157:24Neighbors. So, I'm hoping that Malik Neighbors kind of sits out tonight. To be honest with you, I hate to say that
157:28if you have Malik Neighbors, I apologize. I don't want neighbors to be hurt, but I I want him to get healthy. I
157:33want him to take his time. He he could slow roll himself back into this season.
157:37And then I play Sal week three and he has Malik Neighbors. And obviously, I want to beat him week three. So, I hope
157:43Malik Neighbors kind of misses the first few weeks and we get him back week four.
157:46>> He wants God to guide him about whether he will go tonight against the Cowboys.
157:50>> I don't really care about Joey Porter.
157:51Boop. Boop. Let's skip over to the Falcon stuff.
157:56And actually, I don't want to play that because I'm not trying to get taken down for NFL footage. Um, but we do have a
158:04tweet here from Sheffy that says, "Cooper Rush will be Atlanta starting quarterback today. Undrafted free agent Jack Strand will be the
158:14backup. And with Tua and Michael Pennix both inactive, wide receiver Olamid Zakius. Oh dear, what are we doing here?
158:23Uh will be the Falcons emergency quarterback verse the Steelers. But Zakius's role doesn't just stop there.
158:30With the Falcons also only having two running backs active today. Bejian Robinson and Brian Robinson. Zakias will also be the team's emergency third
158:39string running back.
158:42Olamid Zakius, the real MVP.
158:47Shout out Olamid Zakius.
158:51Okay, but yeah, so those are the updates that we have. Um, Chefy is saying it's murky at best
159:02for neighbors, but we're obviously going to keep answering all these chat questions all the way until kickoff as fast as I can. I got my energy drink, so
159:10we're going to be able to go a little bit faster. Um, but we do have some of these priority questions we need to
159:14answer on flockfantasy.com. So, let me um get to these real quick. Again, if you got the season pass and use code
159:22flock, you should have free start set trade questions in your account. If you're an annual motherfer, you should have free team review, starts set
159:27questions, trade questions. And if you sign up with um Poly Market with code flock, you should also get free questions for these live streams as
159:35well. But let's go ahead and let's rip through these. Tough sky says, "Felt good about the draft. picked eighth, went be best player available early and
159:43ended up running back heavy. Everyone took multiple quarterbacks, so we've hunted QB. Um, picks went C Oh, dear God. CMC, Saquon, Brace, T.
159:55Dear God, man.
160:00Phenomenal team. Our lineup, we have McCaffrey, Barkley, Bree at running back, and the flex.
160:06We have Jadarian Price, Jonathan Brooks.
160:08Here's the deal. you're eventually going to need to sell a running back.
160:12I don't think you do. So, right now, I think you probably wait.
160:16Eventually, you're going to want to go through and look at selling like Bree Hall and maybe getting back Josh Allen, right? But I think you just wait until
160:26Jadarian Price breaks out.
160:31But like if you could say like hypothetically send Mahomes, Breeze A for Allen, then you would still have
160:41CMC, Barkley, Price, Brooks, and you could pick up Rashad White off the waiverwire for free. So this is an incredible team. You have the best team
160:49in your league. I think there's very little for you to do. Eventually, we will want to make a trade.
160:57Eventually, the trade we will make is we'll sell a running back like Bree Hall. we'll pivot over and we'll get the
161:02elite QB or maybe you sell like Bree and T Higgins and see if we can get up to true wide receiver one, right? See you
161:10can get over to like CD Lamb. But I think you need to wait until we get a Jadarian Price and or Jonathan Brooks
161:18breakout. But once that happens, you'll be in an a okay spot to go ahead and make that move.
161:25But I really appreciate you, my friend, and really hope I was able to help you out in some way with this. But dear God,
161:31great team. Now, boss says, "Love the videos. Do I need to sell Lamar to help even out the team? Are there any other
161:37moves we can make to be competitive?"
161:38So, let's go ahead. I appreciate you, my friend. I am excited to look at this for you. So, right now, let's go through and
161:46let's try to find where we're at. So, I will say you got a garbage team, man.
161:51I'm just going to be honest. It is not your fault that your team is garbage, but it is garbage.
161:58The reason it happened was our round two pick with AJ Brown goes down with the high ankle sprain and all of a sudden is
162:06worth significantly less than he was previously.
162:10Quarterback we have Lamar. Running back we have Chase Brown Raadre. We have quality depth of Marshall Lloyd Jordan Mason. Wide receiver we have Flowers
162:20Burden. We have and we lost Deon Stribbling. Man, you just got nuked.
162:25And we have a garbage tight end with Isaiah likely. So, here's the deal.
162:29Looking at your team, you're in a world of pain. I'm just gonna be honest, Chief.
162:38Like, you would 100% need to go through and sell Lamar Jackson if this was a double flex
162:49format. If this was a double flex format, you would need to sell Lamar Jackson and you need to get a quarterback in here. ASAP,
162:57but since it's a single flex instead, I would go ahead and
163:05I would leave this as is for now.
163:12Um, but especially knowing that the quarterbacks on the Waverwire are garbage. I think you leave your team as is. You try to
163:21get healthy, try to get AJ Brown back and just stay alive. But yeah, you were behind the eightball. If it was a double
163:26flex league, I would be in 100% agreement that you would have to sell Lamar.
163:31Now, let me get this for Love Herd says, "Hey, Mason, thoughts on the team looked a lot better before the AJ Brown injury.
163:37Any moves you'd recommend to help out at wide receiver."
163:41So, here it's a two receiver, one flex format. So, here's the deal, man. I'm going to just be completely honest with
163:47you. One, you do need to make a switch.
163:49You need to cut Jonah Coleman and you need to pick up Chris Rodriguez pretty clearly in my opinion.
163:54Um, but once you do that, I don't think that there is a trade that you need to make because very similar to the team
164:03that we looked at right before you in these two receiver, one flex formats where depth doesn't matter that much.
164:13When you lose AJ Brown, it sucks. It hurts. But your lineup is okay, right?
164:19Like looking at this lineup, you have Jaylen Herz, quarterback, running back Gibbs Walker, wide receiver Higgins Waddle, tight end KD, and for the flex,
164:27you're going to be able to choose between Brian Thomas, Jonathan Brooks, Jordan Mason. So you will have options here.
164:35So for that reason, I wouldn't panic. I would not go out there and immediately look at trying to make a trade where we
164:44send like Jaylen Herz and T. Higgins to get an upgrade at wide receiver because the depth is super easy to come
164:55by in this league and you're already fine with where you're at. So, I would leave this as is, man. I would not go
165:03out there and make some dramatic change.
165:06Again, I think it would be different for a lot of other people that are playing in double flex leagues. If you're in a
165:11double flex league and you lost AJ Brown, then yeah, there's a damn good chance that you need to go through and
165:17you need to make a trade and you need to try to back fill wide receiver. But in these single flex formats, a lot of
165:22times instead, you'll be better off just waiting to get AJ Brown back.
165:27Now, King was taken longtime member of the flock. here for the flex. We're looking at neighbors Brian Thomas, Quinton Johnson, Marshon Lloyd. Um, I
165:37probably go ahead and either look at Lloyd or Brian Thomas based on what we just heard from Adam Sheffy.
165:44If he's saying neighbors playing is murky at best.
165:51Like I I don't know how you can bank on him. I think Brian Thomas gives you the upside and you probably need upside
165:58there rather than the floor given the fact that your team already shot the bed with AJ Brown and Jadarian Price. But
166:04we'll get to Poney in one second, but let me go ahead and answer some of the free questions that we have in the live
166:10chat now. Um, so of course I want to remind y'all please if you have not done so already, go down there, drop a like
166:17on this live stream. I'm going to be live all the way until kickoff answering your questions for free. Um, and on top
166:24of that, um, I'm live every single day until Christmas.
166:30So, I'm going to be answering your questions all season long. So, if somehow you have not subscribed already, please make sure you do that ASAP and
166:38then drop your questions into the live chat right now and I'd be happy to go through and answer as many of them as I can. And
166:47obviously if you wanted sub to support this live stream um the number one way that you can do so is by going ahead and
166:55taking advantage of our sponsor Polyarketus US. If you go to the link in the description in the link in the comment section and sign up for
167:04Polyarketus US which is available in 49 out of 50 states.
167:10Um dear god look at this. According to Polyar US right now, Chase Brown has a 61% chance of scoring 20 or more fantasy
167:19points that week this week. That is insane. Um, but you will get $50 added to your account after you play after you
167:26deposit your first 10. And um, again, you'll get free questions for these streams. It's available in pretty much every single states. I'm sorry for the
167:37people um, in Canada, etc. But poly market US code flock. Now let's go ahead. Bango says neighbors or a lave
167:48and raadre for flowers and Irving.
167:53So would I rather start Malik Neighbors or would I rather have Malik Neighbors or Chris Ave at this point on my team?
168:01I'm gonna be honest like obviously I'd rather start Chris Ave. Chris Ave is a jam this week. Chris Ave is a phenomenal
168:08phenomenal phenomenal play.
168:11It's like the best matchup and the best setup possible for him.
168:17Now, in terms of where we stand rest of season, I would probably rather have Chris Ave and Raadre Stevenson over Malik
168:27Neighbors. Could we please have everybody spam the chat right now? Who would you rather have on your fantasy team rest of season? Not just in your
168:35starting lineup right now, but rest of season, would you rather have Crystal Lave or Malik Neighbors?
168:45And then the other thing that I would be looking at is um okay it looks like most people are
169:01saying neighbors. We definitely have some mixed into the chat. But let me just think like maybe I'm an idiot and I
169:07def say maybe I'm an idiot. I'm definitely an idiot. But let me see if I can read this. Neighbors oral l. Okay.
169:14So here's what you're asking. And you're asking, should I trade Neighbors and Realandre Stevenson for Z Flowers and Bucky Irving? No, do not do that. If
169:22Gainwell wasn't in Tampa and Bucky was the guy that he was in his rookie season, guaranteed, then sure. But too much uncertainty.
169:30Okay.
169:33Now, um, let me see. Adam Sheffy, I think, just said Bowers could possibly come
169:43back week two.
169:48By the way, oh, look at this.
169:54Shati says, "After undergoing a miniscus trim Tuesday, the Raiders believe there is a realistic chance Brock Bowers will miss only one game and return for week
170:03two at the Los Angeles Chargers. Team will see how he's feeling this week, but a potential return next week is within
170:08the realm of possibility." For them to put out this statement right now, that's incredible.
170:15Again, I dropped Bowowers below Trey McBride in my rest of season tight end ranks, but realistically, I think I moved Bowowers too low in
170:25terms of my overall rankings. I need to move him back up, but yeah, I'm going to move Bowowers to 29 overall in our rest
170:33of season rank. still a ton of risk with the Brock Bowers stuff, but this is phenomenal news here for anybody that
170:41has Brock Bowers on their team because of course the initial report from the team was one to two weeks that Bower is
170:48going to miss, but then a bunch of Twitter doctors came out and said like, "Oh no, this type of injury always leads to four, five, six
170:57week absences." But yeah, this is incredible if they're telling us right now I'm a week before the game that he has a good chance of coming back.
171:07Now, Seth says Bowers won't be able to play.
171:12A miniscus trim takes one to two weeks to just walk properly. Three to six to be at full athletic capacity. Again,
171:19that's what I've heard. But why the hell is Sheffy coming out of his way in a game in which there's really I mean
171:27a day which there's no real reason for us to be talking about this?
171:38Why would he go out of his way to tell us that Bowowers is good to go or has a good chance to be good to go
171:45week two? I don't think Bowers is in a wheelchair right now. not being able to walk and Adam Sheffy's coming through
171:52and saying, "Oh, okay. Yeah, it's a close one."
171:58Now, we have Kenneth Gainwell or RJ Harvey. Now, this is a good question here with this setup. like you're
172:09looking at two running backs that are going to be the receiving backs in their backfield that have uncertain workloads that I would like to bench both but they
172:20are relatively close.
172:23So for this I probably in a full P I in a full PBR format if you wanted to play gain well I'm not going to fault you for
172:29it.
172:31Okay.
172:33Now, Jesse says, "Start at the flex, Watson, Godwin, or Quinton Johnston."
172:39I'm going with Christian Watson. I have him in my lineup. I'm excited for it.
172:44It's a tough matchup, but what I am telling myself right now is y'all know how what we saw with the New England
172:51Patriots week one is we saw them in the first half run the ball over and over and over and over and over and over
172:57again, and there was no passing volume at all for that Patriots offense.
173:03I don't think that has a chance to be the case this week here. Not for the Green Bay Packers. As if we're looking
173:10at the Green Bay Packers with no Josh Jacobs, I think we're going to see a ton of Jordan Love dropbacks.
173:18So, yeah, I would go Christian Watson.
173:22Um, Poney says, "Rome with the calf injury or Jordan Mason in a full PBR format." I would go Rome with the calf
173:28injury. Full PBR. Give me Rome. Again, a lot of these running backs that we don't know what the backfield's going to break
173:35out to be, like week two, week three, they very easily could be like must start names for us.
173:50But let me go through the list of guys that
174:02if we can avoid starting them week one, I would like to just before we get clarity on like what
174:12their situation's going to be like the Carolina guys, Chuba Hubard and Jonathan Brooks. It's a really good game
174:22environment and I could see either Carolina back playing incredibly well.
174:31The Denver Broncos running backs, nasty game environment. Don't really want anything to do with either one. The Minnesota Vikings running backs don't
174:39exactly know how it's going to shape up.
174:42And I don't think either guy is talented enough to say they're just an auto jam.
174:48the Commander running backs I want nothing to do with.
174:53So there are a few backfields that I think in week two and beyond there may become a guy that's just an auto start
175:01must jam name. Like maybe we get here week one Jonathan Brooks turns out to be literally nothing and Chuba Hubard's just a full down feature back and all of
175:10a sudden we know in week two, hey you can trust Chuba Hubard, jam him in your lineup.
175:15But until we see that workload, I'm not wanting to start these running backs in uncertain backfield. It's not week one.
175:21Now, we got Tucker or Tate in the flex.
175:24So, one thing that is absolutely insane right now, like obviously I would way way way way way way rather have Cardell
175:32Tate rest of season over Trey Tucker.
175:34Don't get me wrong. Not even a question.
175:36Not even close.
175:39Um, but let me go through and show you what we have right now for the projections for these wide receivers. Trey Tucker
175:50projects out incredibly well. Right now, Poly Market US um I will say if you actually look at this, it's pretty cr
175:58This is one reason I legitimately do really like the prediction markets in comparison to traditional sports books.
176:07Um because I like seeing the real probabilities change over time when big things happen. Like I like seeing the real odds of something. Like again, I
176:18know I told y'all this, but yesterday I put $25 on Texas to win against Ohio State. Hookham Horns. I went to
176:25University of Texas and halfway through the game, Texas got down to a 4% chance of winning. My $25 turned into $1.
176:35And then, of course, we know how that played out. We ended up winning. Hookham Horns absolutely loved it. But I like
176:43seeing how the real-time odds do change.
176:44And what's actually crazy is you can see Vegas was at a 64% chance of winning this game. And then we got the Brock
176:51Bowers report and that dropped down to 60%. So it is cool to see like the actual impact that Brock Bowers leaving
176:57this offense does have. But going over and looking at the actual projections that we have from a player level perspective, like right now in terms of
177:06the receiving yards, Trey Tucker has a 46% chance of going 50 or more yards. If we go over and look at what we have with
177:17instead Carnell Tate, Cardinal Tate has a 47% chance of just
177:36hitting 40 yards this week. And again, I want to reiterate the market makers are smarter than we are, right? I understand
177:45if I'm putting $25 down on Texas from an expected value perspective, I'm losing because the people who set that
177:54price, they know more than I do. So, if we're going to trust them, Trey Tucker looks like a better play than Carnell
178:01Tate week one with no Brock Bower specifically.
178:04So, um, it's crazy to say and obviously I would way rather have Cardell Tate in the long run, but for this week
178:13specifically, I probably would rather start Trey Tucker. Now, of course, if you wanted to check out any of those projections, any of those markets,
178:21they're on Poly Market US. Links in the description, it's in the live chat. If you sign up with code flock, after you
178:27deposit your first $10, you'll get $50 added to your account and you'll get free questions that you can ask in these
178:33live streams as well. And Polymark US is available in 49 out of 50 states. Now, the only ones not in is Nevada. Now,
178:42Solid Jigs says Panthers starting two backup tackles on the offensive line.
178:47Um, I believe the Panthers offense still projects out well, though.
178:52Like, let me pull this up. I mean, it's not incredible, but right now, Carolina's projected out um to score 22 and a half points this week.
179:03So, it's not supposed to be like that.
179:05It's supposed to be better than the Commanders by a decent bit. Now, we got Lad or David McGomery. Full PBR format.
179:11I would pretty confidently go ahead and say Lad Maconi. Larry says, "Waddooka in my last flex bot." I would for sure
179:20go Ibuka. Here's the deal with Ibuka. I have him on my team. I'm very biased.
179:23I'll admit that.
179:25But at the same time, if we are looking at where we stand
179:35with this Ibuka setup, it is a perfect situation.
179:4050point overunder in this Bucks Panthers game. And on top of that, you have no Jaylen McMillan and Ibuka was able to
179:50get in full practices this week.
179:52So, I think Ibuka is going to absolutely smash. I am so damn excited to start him myself. And if you have him, I think you
180:00should get him in.
180:03Now, Travis CTN, Swift or Bucky. So, I also have Travis ETN on my team. So, again, I'm biased, but I am very much
180:10just jamming Travis ETN this week.
180:14I think Travis ETN is an incredibly easy play knowing that this is going to be a super highscoring game environment. Not
180:22only is it going to be a super high-scoring game environment, but at the same time, you have no Alvin Kamara.
180:29So, if Alvin Kamar is going to be missing, you legitimately have to start ETM. You have to.
180:37Now, let's see. Pitts or let's Jay Edwards says tootin Bucky or Ted McMillan in a half PPR format. This is close. I would not start tootin here. I
180:48would very clearly play Bucky over Toutin especially now that you're in the situation in which you have no Shawn Tucker. Bucky Irving does become a more
180:58appealing play.
181:02But with that in mind, like Tedroll McMillan I just absolutely love. I'm'll be honest. I drafted so much freaking McMillan this year. I
181:12don't have him on my flock league team.
181:13I came so close to taking him in the fourth round. I thought he was going to be my fourth round pick until I Buuka
181:18made it to me.
181:22So don't play Tutin. You can go with either one of the other players. But real quick, we got two hours to kick off. So,
181:31I'm going to go through I'm going to go pee and it should be the my only bathroom break in this 5 hour live
181:36stream. So, I'll get back and I'll continue to answer as many of these free questions as I possibly can. Please don't go anywhere.
182:37No, you don't get to go in here.
182:50Okay, we are back. I'm sorry about that bathroom break, ladies and gentlemen.
182:55Now, let's look at this. Gainwell or Marvin Harrison to replace Neighbors? I am for sure going to go with Marvin Harrison. Again, I get the upside case
183:04with Kenneth Gainwell, but week one, in my opinion, there's no reason to be willingly going out there and starting a backup running back.
183:17I have no interest.
183:19Saurin says, "Scottabiboo or Neighbors in a full PBR league." So, obviously, if it's Scat or Neighbors, you'll know about the neighbor situation by the time
183:25you got to make the call.
183:28If neighbors suits up, I'll play him over Scataboo.
183:32Good chance you end up playing Scottoo because good chance Neighbors doesn't play. But if he does, give me over Scott
183:42likely or Fannon if Neighbors is out. If you do not have clarity that Malik Neighbors is out by the time you got to
183:50make this call, I go Harold Fannon. But if Malik Neighbors is officially out, then at that point you go as likely.
184:05Full PBR Judkins or Godwin, you go Judkins.
184:11Really like the Godwin setup. Really hate the Judkins setup.
184:17Like Judkins eight and a half point dog here against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
184:24But at the same time,
184:40like the Browns are going to be touchdown dogs in most games they play in this year. Like if that was going to
184:45scare you off playing Quinchon Judkins, you shouldn't have drafted Quinchon Judkins.
184:55Um, Crashen says, "Dolphins wide receiver one rest of season." It's probably going to be one of the rookies by the time we get halfway through the
185:02year. Whether that's Caleb Douglas, whether that's Chris Bell, I don't exactly have the right answer for you, but we'll be one of those names.
185:13Now, Ton Watson or Montgomery, we need to start two.
185:19I'd go McGomery. I think his workload is safer than the projection that we have for Tuton. And then I would also go
185:25Christian Watson as well, assuming it's a full PBR format.
185:28Again, I think we are in a very comfortable position to assume that the Green Bay Packers are going to be throwing the ball at time.
185:38Okay, now real quick, it looks like we are about 100 subscribers away from hitting a pretty big milestone. So, please, if you have not done so already,
185:49go down there, um, drop a like on this live stream, help us climb the ranks with our subscribers because it would be
185:58the coolest thing ever if we could somehow someway hit 400,000 by the end of this football season. So, please go down there, drop a like on the stream if
186:07you have not already.
186:10Demo says Malik Neighbors, Jackson Dart, or Dak and J Mo. If you're talking about a trade, I'd rather have Neighbors and
186:18Dart like rest of season.
186:23Now, in terms of who scores more points this week, Dak and J.
186:30Now, I have DK and Pitman on the waver wire. Who should I pick? I would go with DK Mechaf over Michael Pitman.
186:36I think both wide receivers have cap ceilings, don't get me wrong, but between the two of them, I would prefer Metaf.
186:44Okay, now let's see. Waddle or Watson in a PPR league?
186:53Um, I would go with Jaylen Wadd. I hope Christian Watson outscores him, but realistically I think that
187:20Waddle's just a much better player.
187:49Sorry, I'm trying to think here.
187:52It's a tough game environment. And again, I like Watson for a lot of strong reasons.
188:15But I think I would go waddle over and neighbors or park or Washington/ Rome.
188:21I'd probably go Rome.
188:27Now I have neighbors. Should I start Cardell Tate or drop Jonah Coleman for Malachi Fields? Drop Jonah Coleman, pick up Malachi Fields, plan on starting
188:36Malik Neighbors, and if Neighbors doesn't go, then obviously you have your pivot option.
188:43But yeah, I would go ahead and I would plan on I plan on neighbors there.
188:59Now John says, should I flex T waddle or tootin in a full PPR format? Um, super easy in my mind to go through and
189:11play T. Higgins. Over under of this game is like 50 points. The Bengals are favored. I
189:26think T. Higgins is just a jam.
189:30And the problem with Higgins, of course, at least historically, has been player that misses time, player that gets injured quite frequently. And
189:40maybe that's why you typically have lowered expectations.
189:52But he's healthy right now. So if he's healthy, I think you just jam him in.
189:57Quinton Johnson or Brian Thomas? I'm going to go ahead and take Brian Thomas.
190:02Tyler Shuck or Jaden Daniels? Is this actually a very valid question because I way prefer the setup that we have from
190:10Tyler Shot getting to play against the Detroit Lions in comparison to where we stand with Jaden Daniels going up against the Eagles. But I would still
190:19probably play Jaden Daniels. But it is a valid question which is crazy to say.
190:24Now JMO or Christian Watson? I have both of them in my lineup today and I am more excited about Jameson Williams
190:33again. super high overunder that we have for this game environment. I think it should be a smash spot for JMO neighbors or Rome. I have likely to
190:44pivot Sunday Night Football. If you have a strong pivot option like Isaiah likely, then go ahead and pretty clearly just go ahead and play Malik Neighbors
190:54and then obviously Isaiah likely would be super compelling if you were to miss out on Neighbors Sunday night.
191:02Now, Amarv Christian Watson or Quinton Johnston, we got to start two.
191:08I would for sure play Christian Watson out of this list. I think that he is in a separate tier than what we have with
191:15Marv and the Big Q.
191:21Between Quinton Johnston and Marvin Harrison, I probably go Marv and just hope that somehow someway he can get to the playing level that we thought he had
191:31coming into the NFL, but not the easiest situation because he has been a wide receiver for in fantasy
191:41back-to-back seasons.
191:45Now, um I am going to pivot over real quick and I'm going to um answer some of the questions that we
191:54have on the site and then we'll go right back to the free questions in the live chat. Obviously, we've been live for
191:59three and a half hours. Um y'all can tell we're going to go through and we're going to stream until the very very
192:04start of kickoff. So, I'll get to your questions in the chat in just one second, but let me prioritize some of
192:09the questions on flockfantasy.com right now. Um this is from P Money says how is my team and what are the possible moves
192:16that we can make. So right now it is a 12 team start aid format. So 12 team start aid format is it is important for
192:23us to build out the depth and that's exactly what we've done. You have a phenomenal squad here man. We have Justin Herbert at quarterback. Running
192:30back we have James Cook, Chase Brown, Jonathan Brooks, Blake Corora. So we have the anchors at running back at the top and we have quality depth. wide
192:40receiver. We're not built around the anchors, but we have depth throughout the position, which matters in a double flex league. We have Smith, Flowers,
192:47Burton, J Marv, Andeshan Stribbling, obviously got injured, and then we have a strong tight end play early in the year with Jawan Johnson, and we have
192:56Terrence Ferguson here as well. This is an incredibly well- constructed team. I think it is extremely strong. I think there are very clear waiverwire pivots
193:04that I'd like to make. Um, one, I know you're probably gonna have to wait to make these until the Waverwire ends up
193:10running, but if we could cut Terren Ferguson and pick up Mark Andrews, I would feel comfortable doing that based on what we saw week one and Terren
193:18Ferguson's inability to draw targets.
193:22Now, going over to the San Francisco side of things, I would cut Jean Stribbling and I would pick up Kalin Black. now that we
193:31have confirmation that Kayn Black is for sure the handcuff running back that you would want if McAffrey were to go down.
193:38So, I would make those two waiverwire calls, but man, you're in a phenomenal spot when it comes to your team. I don't
193:43think you need to make any trades.
193:46Now, explosion with our next question here um here between Aome Pitman and Godwin. If you wanted to play it safe, you would go Godwin, but if you're not
193:56worried about the Rome injury, you go Rome. Don't play Pitman. Don't play Rashad White. don't play Britain Strange. Now, average Joe says, "Need
194:03your input after Puka and May didn't quite deliver. I keep making the playoffs, but I can't get the trophy. I feel your pain, my friend. I appreciate
194:10your help as always." Again, I appreciate you sticking with me for so damn long, my guy. Um, let's go through and let's check this out. So, we are
194:16chasing upside. We're going to go with Kim Scataboo. I would play Pard over Dobbins. I mean, again, it's a very, very close projection between the
194:24Titans, a Jets game. We're going to go Drake London at wide receiver. And then for the flex, I probably would play JK Dobbins here. I
194:32really don't like the Dobbins call, but maybe week one, it's not the worst thing in the world to go through and play him
194:44and say, "Oh, okay. Well, we can start him until he gets injured right now."
194:49Husion here at wide receiver between TA against God when you have to play TA against a smash. Uh Brady here at wide
194:57receiver we're looking at Metaf Wilson Rome play Rome I know with the calf injury it's a little scary and then between DK Metaf and Kenneth Gainwell I
195:06think a lot of play people would play Gainwell and I understand why I get the idea that he may just have a ton of
195:12targets out of this backfield given the game environment um but yeah I think we're going to take DK Metaf now Lance former trading away JCM
195:22Michael Pitman for Brian Thomas running back, you have three startable names. So, I would go ahead and I would make this move, but I personally am of
195:33the opinion that I still think Brian Thomas Jr. has a pretty high ceiling.
195:37Now, Clever Phoenix here at wide receiver between neighbors Watson, Brian Thomas, Addison, Godwin, I would just play it safe with Watson. And then in
195:45the flex, I would go ahead and I would most likely take Chris Godwin given the very strong matchup that he has against
195:51Cincy. I don't think you roll the dice with neighbors there. Now, Granters here at running back, we're going to go ahead
195:59and between Jonathan Brooks and Chuba Hubard. I have flipped my rankings looking at the latest projections. I think we do want to go ahead and we want
196:09to play Hubard over Brooks. And then at tight end between Jawan Johnson and Mark Andrews, Jawan Johnson is an absolute
196:18smash. Play Jawan Johnson. Now Melo is mellow here for the flex between Warren, Josh Jacobs, Zack
196:27Sharpet, Malik Neighbors, Rome.
196:31I would just play Jaylen Warren again. I have moved Jaylen Warren up my stuff ever since we've had the
196:40setup in which I don't know I when you have Tua and Michael Pennix
197:00out and the Atlanta Falcons are on their third string starting quarterback, there's just a chance that the Steelers are running the ball over
197:08and over and over again. Here at tight end, I'm going to go Mark Andrews, running back play Quinnsh, I'm sorry, in
197:14the flex play Quinn Sean Judkins and Jaylen Waddle. I think those would honestly be the very easy flex plays. I think Judkins has a cap ceiling though
197:21given the game environment against Jacksonville. Now, Rich Pedro, quarterback between Lamar and Burrow.
197:27Four-point passing touchdown, give me Lamar. Six-point passing touchdown, give me Burrow. But both are set up to smash.
197:33And then in the flex, I'm going to go ahead and play DJ Moore despite DJ Moore having a garbage matchup against the
197:38Texans. Now, Wild Voyager trading away James Cook to Kenneth Walker. Slight downgrade. Tieans to Jamar Chase.
197:48Massive upgrade and you just have to pay Parker Washington to do it though. Yes, let's go get the best player in the
197:52deal. Let's go ahead and let's get Jamar Chase there. Okay, now we have some more questions on the site, but it looks like
197:59we are not too far behind. So, we can just pivot right back over and we can start answering your questions in the
198:05live chat. And oh my gosh.
198:14Holy hell.
198:16I got to record a video for the Flock League. And damn. Um, this is this is insane.
198:30Miles Garrett to the IR.
198:35Holy moly.
198:42That is wild.
198:47My phone's dead, so I can't afford to record a video here on my phone.
199:03Oh my gosh.
199:13Ram star Miles Garrett will undergo knee surgery to fix what had limited him in training camp and he's headed to the IR.
199:22Sources say insane. Legitimately insane.
199:38How long? Like, do we have any more information? Is this an IR situation?
199:42He'll be back in five weeks.
199:44Is this a situation in which we don't see him again?
200:02GG's to the Roman Empire.
200:10Oh, freaking crazy.
200:14Crazy.
200:17Yeah, Brown's mega brain. I mean, in the off season, every single person was going through and saying the Browns robbed, I'm sorry, the Rams robbed the
200:27Browns in that deal.
200:36And now, obviously, they couldn't have projected this happening, but now it's a loss for the Rams.
200:50That is insane.
201:12Unbelievable.
201:16But um AJ says they balanced their futures with the downgrade to the Rams. It's about money. Let me see.
201:27Is this Do you think this is a big enough deal for the live odds to skew things
201:39with a Super Bowl winner this year?
201:45Let me pull up Poly Market real quick because the Rams were the heavy favorite super I mean the Super Bowl favorite
201:55before this, right?
202:01The Rams just fell from a 14% chance down to a 13% chance on Poly Market to win the Super Bowl. I would imagine
202:10that this is something that obviously changes more when we get additional information.
202:22But yeah, as of now, you do see that RAM chart starting to tick down.
202:29Insane.
202:31Obviously, if you want to check out any of that stuff on Poly Market, links in the description comment section. Code Flock gets you 50 bucks after you
202:37deposit your first 10 and available in every state outside of Nevada.
202:41Now, let's go ahead and let's answer some questions. Just bomb asking Jaden Daniels or Trevor Lawrence at this point. Honestly, based on how bad the
202:49projections are for the Commanders, I'd probably prefer um Trevor Lawrence. As crazy as that
203:03sounds, I think I would.
203:08B Peterson, welcome to joining the flock. Um, Penny says, "Caleb Douglas or Aaron Jones for my second flex spot."
203:17How down bad do you have to be, man? I hope this is a 60 team league.
203:25If this is a 60 team league, maybe this is an acceptable second flex.
203:32Realistically, I'd probably go ahead and play Aaron Jones, but dear God, that is ugly.
203:39Now, Baker or Jaden Daniels in a four-point passing touchdown.
203:45Four-point passing touchdown format, I will bank with the rushing upside, and the rushing upside's going to be Jaden Daniels, but it's not that far
203:54off.
203:57Neoski says, "Circling back from yesterday with reports saying Kamar's out, ETN over lad at the flex or keep lad in since I have a lav starting." No,
204:05you play ETN in the flex spot for sure.
204:09No, Kamara ETN is a mustart name.
204:14No questions about it.
204:17Let me pull this over. I want to see my group chat what they're saying about the Miles Garrett stuff.
204:27Okay, now let's see. Rome Lloyd or Brooks for the second flex. Easily Rome. I didn't
204:37say actually. I know. I'm sorry. Marshon Lloyd. Marshon Lloyd. Marshon Lloyd.
204:41Marshon Lloyd. I just saw um Chris Oh, this is not Chris Brooks. This is Jonathan Brooks. I'm being an idiot.
204:46Yeah, go Marshall Lloyd still. Um Jaden Daniels or Malik Willis. I am gonna go with Jaden Daniels, but it's not that
204:54far off, which again is crazy to say, but you just have a horrendous projection there for the Miami Dolphins offense.
205:05Okay, now looking at Adrian
205:14says, Christian Watson or Luther Burton, it is a coin flip. It's going to truly be up to you.
205:22If we had Roman Dunce missing, it would be an easy
205:34spot to say Luther Burden, but here with Rome playing, it's not nearly as easy.
205:41Now, weekly ice says Godwin or Neighbors. I would not roll the dice on Malik Neighbors with this setup. Go ahead and play Chris Godwin.
205:52Okay, now coffin is Michael Mayor Chick or Britain
206:03Strange in a PPR format.
206:11Yeah, I'd go Michael Mayer here. Again, I've seen a lot of people be too optimistic about Mayor, and I want to
206:16make sure that we're all on the same page. He has a very low floor, right? He may legit be nothing, but
206:24at the same time, like I would say in this range, Chig could also be nothing.
206:37Britain Strange could be nothing.
206:50So, I'd go Michael Mayer.
206:52Now, Swift or Watson play DeAndre Swift again. Little less exciting now that you're in a setup in which Kyle Manungai is back and good to go. But Kyle
207:03Manungai missed so much time. I'd be surprised Manungai had like a massive workload week one.
207:11Okay, now let's see. Burden or Malik Neighbors. Go Luther Burden. You don't want to roll the dice on Malik Neighbors in that setup.
207:23But real quick, we just hit 332,000 subscribers on this channel. Thank you so much everybody for going down there and um hitting that like button.
207:33Appreciate y'all. I'm going to be here answering your questions in the chat every single day until Christmas like I am every single year. So, please, if you
207:44have not done so already, go down there, drop a like on this live stream. It helps us out a ton and subscribe to the
207:50channel if you want to come out to future streams to get your questions in.
207:55Now, let's see. Jawan Johnson's birthday for your information. Get it. Well, Jawan Johnson was a smash beforehand.
208:03Jawan Johnson is a smash after. Um, Sando says, "Who should I start at my second flex spot? Between Marshall Lloyd or Quinton Johnson?" Um, I am hoping
208:11Quinton Johnson is the correct answer, but I would definitely say Marshall Lloyd. Okay.
208:18Now, Teacher says, "If Neighbors is out, do we start Brian Thomas Jr. or Carnell Tate?" I think you go ahead. You
208:27probably start Brian Thomas Jr. here.
208:29And to be honest with you, my guy, there's a damn good chance that you don't know this by the time you got
208:39to make the call. Like, I don't think you're going to know that Malik Neighbors is out by the time you have to
208:42make this decision. So, I think your plan probably should just end up being I think you probably just got to start
208:50Brian Thomas Jr.
208:54Yeah, we talked about Miles Garretts.
208:57Um, Maza says, "Jayen Reed, Cardinal Tate, or Rico Dattle for the flex."
209:05I'm going to go with Cardinal Tate.
209:07Again, lowered expectations for Tate.
209:09It's a game with a 38 and a half point overunder. So, I'm not super excited about the upside that we have there,
209:17but at the same time like
209:48Jane Reed, like what has Jane Reed ever giving us, right?
209:54Rico D may just be the straightup backup running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
210:02Just go ahead and play Cardinal Tape.
210:04Now, Michael says, "Start Goddard or Jawan Johnson?" Both I think are going to have very good weeks, but I would go
210:09Jawan Johnson.
210:10No Jordan Tyson, super high-scoring game and a game in which this team's probably going to be forced to throw the ball a
210:17ton just because the Detroit Lions are going to run up the score.
210:22Now, Jawan or Jake Ferguson. Again, here's the here are the tight ends I would start over Jawan Johnson this week. Trey McBride,
210:31Coulson Lovelund, Tyler Warren, and let me see if there's anybody else.
210:41Um, probably Sam Leaporta. I would go with McBride, Lovelin, Warren, Leaporta. If you don't have one of those names, I
210:52think Jawan Johnson's probably the guy that you should be starting.
210:56Real quick, we're going to be live for an hour and a half. There's no way I can hold my pee that long. Um, I just
211:00chugged an energy drink so we could rapid fire answer these questions, but that means I need one more bathroom break. I'll be back in a second.
211:37All >> [snorts]
211:59>> right, I feel much much better. Much much better. Now, um we are of course going to keep answering all these
212:05questions all the way till kickoff, but we do have some additional um questions we got to prioritize on fogfantasy.com.
212:11Real quick, Willie Sooners here. We're going to go Marian Hampton over Jeremiah Love. Hampton is one of the best plays of any position this week. And then down
212:20in the flex, you will play Jeremiah Love. Again, I think you should have very much lowered expectations for Love this week in comparison to where he'll
212:27be rest of season, though. Now, Mashiro says, "I really wanted to go running back, running back at 11. JS dropped to
212:36me."
212:38Oh my gosh.
212:41It's a two receiver, one flex league.
212:44Here's the deal right now, man.
212:46Incredible team. Having eight Chan JSN neighbors all is legitimately insane.
212:54But when you are this strong at wide receiver and you can only start two receivers in one flex, you don't need to
213:01be rostering these wide receivers at the very bottom end of your team. You have to with your running back room being
213:08much weaker than your wide receiver room. Optimize for running backs at the bottom end of your bench. So right this second, cut Chris Bell, pick up Josh
213:18Jacobs. There's a damn good chance that Jacobs was able to expedite his legal troubles. He's going to get hit with a
213:26suspension relatively soon and we'll know eventually when he is coming back.
213:31So, please go ahead, cut Chris Bell, pick up Josh Jacobs. The other thing that I would consider is once the waiver
213:40wire, you can make that move right now, but once the waiverwire gets here, you could also potentially cut Casey Conception and pick up Debo Samuel. And
213:50once Malik Neighbors has proven that he is 100% healthy and he is good to go, you could potentially afford to trade
213:56for a better quarterback this week. Play Malik Willis over Bo Knicks though.
214:01Now, Ray Ray, but incredible team, man.
214:04Ray Ray for your flex. We are gonna go ahead. We're gonna play Quinton Johnson over Casey Conception, Algier, and Malachi Fields. Now, Keen Drake here at
214:13wide receiver. Um, I would roll I know you're just going to play Terry McLaren and then play Reese Hall in the Flax. I
214:20don't think you roll the dice on neighbors if you have scary Terry. Now, Flax says, "I'm pretty confident with the team even after the AJ Brown injury.
214:30What should I do? I mean, who should I sit and wait or look for trades? If I wait, what should my starting wide
214:36receivers and flexes be? Love the concept, brother. I really appreciate you, my friend. And the fact that we are currently Okay, so here's the deal, man.
214:46Your league mates don't know what they're doing.
214:49I'm just going to call a spade a spade.
214:52You have league mates here that are rostering Sam Darnold and Hunter Henry while Tony Pard and Marshon Lloyd are on the waiverwire.
215:01You could always pick up a startable name off of waiverss.
215:05If you were desperate for a flex, you can literally just go ahead and get Tony Pard.
215:16But that's going to make it where it doesn't matter. I mean, of course, it matters,
215:26don't get me wrong, but it's not the end of the world when AJ Brown goes down because your starting lineup right now,
215:32we have Bejon Hampton at running back.
215:35We have Lad Bird in a receiver. We have Lovelind at tight end. We have Bree. And we're replacing AJ Brown in the flex
215:42most likely with Parker Washington. So, you're in a situation in which you can afford to just go ahead and wait.
216:02I think you just go ahead and leave this as is, man.
216:07You drafted an incredible team. Sucks that you get the AJ Brown injury, but you're going to be able to survive it
216:11given the waiverwire options. Now, Jack says, "Neighbors touch my chub. Team name Bucky and London over Jaylen Warden or JMO."
216:20Okay. So, I'm assuming this is for starting lineup. Let me find our team.
216:27So, yes, I would keep Bucky and London in there. I understand. Obviously, lowered expectations for London and all that, but
216:38yeah, we have CMC, Bucky at running back, London, Devontto Smith at receiver, GMO in the flex, quarterback, Herz tight end, Tucker Craft.
216:47I would play Jawan Johnson over Tucker Craft. this week. Longterm, we're definitely going to prefer Craft, but week one, give me Jawan. And
217:01then the depth that we have on the team, it's enough to get by, but it's nothing special. So, I think it's a damn good
217:07team. I think you're in a really good spot. Obviously with Malik Davis now being out for the season. I think it's a
217:12very easy situation where you can just pick up Aaron Jones for free, cut Malik Davis, maybe both Malik Davis and Tank
217:18Dell are on your injured reserve slots and you're not able to cut them. But if you could cut Davis or Dell, pick up
217:25Aaron Jones, I would. And if they're on your IR and you can't open up a roster spot by picking them up, then I would
217:32still probably cut Alvin Kamara to pick up Aaron Jones. But good team, you don't have too much depth. not like it's going
217:37to be a super easy spot for you to make a trade. So, I leave this as is.
217:42Now, let's go over to our next question.
217:49This is going to be from DK Jones. Says, "Flex spot question. Thinking Downs and Rome. Anybody I should start over those
217:56two?"
217:59I personally would play Jordan Mason over Josh DS, especially now that Alec Pierce is going to be good to go. Now,
218:06I'll say with that, I can't act like Alec Pierce is gonna be massive. He's gonna be on a snap count, but you also have Keenan Allen here. So,
218:16I'm not super excited about Josh DS. I think Jordan Mason's in a good matchup.
218:20I'd go Jordan Mason.
218:23Okay, let me try to submit that again.
218:28Perfect. Now JDubs here wide receiver uh Rashid Rice auto start and then in the flex full PBR format it's going to come down to do you
218:39want Christian Watson or Quinn Sean Judkins.
218:43If you really started Terren Ferguson I think you need to shoot for the ceiling which the ceiling would be Watson but
218:50the floor is going to be Judkins.
218:52MC Raw Dog. Quarterback, go Caleb. Wide receiver, we're starting Jefferson Alve.
218:58Tight end, we are going Kelsey. And then in the flex, you have to start Saquon Barkley.
219:04But let me go ahead and refresh this.
219:11Okay, we have not too many more questions on the site, so we can pivot over real quick and we can get in some
219:16more of the live chat questions. So, um, please, if y'all have not done so already, drop your fantasy question into the chat right now. And also go down
219:26there, drop a like on this live stream.
219:28We've been live for about 4 hours. I was live until 1:00 a.m. last night. I'm going to be live streaming every single
219:34day answering your fantasy football questions until Christmas, but Sunday morning streams are by far and away the most important for us. So, if you're
219:42ever going to go down there and drop a like, please do so now.
219:48Okay. And yes, we did talk about the Miles Garrett injury. Um Quinn says, "Jordan Mason or Quinton Johnson." If it is a full PPR format, I'm going to go
219:58ahead. I will take Quinton Johnston.
220:03Now, um Money, yes, we already talked about Miles Garrett going on the IR.
220:08Ruthless says, "Who should I start Quinton Johnston over? Michael Wilson or Marv or do we start both Cardinals receivers?" You know, I'd start Quinton
220:15Johnson over Michael Wilson.
220:19Like, the thing is, the Chargers project to score 10 more points than the Cardinals this week.
220:26So, it would feel very rough to tell you to go through and play like two Cardinals receivers over Quinton Johnston. I don't think you can
220:38do that to be honest.
220:40Okay, now going over to this next one.
220:48Start Kyle Manungai or Matthew Golden.
220:50For sure. Matthew Golden.
220:53I don't think it's that close either.
220:56Okay.
220:58London or Ibuka. Oh, dear God.
221:15You probably stick it with Drake London, but it is a damn close question, man.
221:21It really is.
221:37Now Jay says Luther Burden or Bay Shell Tutin in a full PPR format realistically
221:58I think I'm going to go with Luther Burden. My hesitation with the Tutin stuff, right, is everybody asking Tutin questions. Like I did not draft Bashel
222:06Tutin on my team. Um, in my league, Bashel Tutin went the fourth round of Jinxy. I decided to draft Eggbuka right
222:12before he went off the board, right?
222:15So, I'm not like necessarily somebody who thinks that Beel Tuton's for sure the starting running back for the Jacks and the Jaguars. I think there may be
222:26like a pretty big split with a committee with Chris Rodriguez. I'm going to be honest.
222:35But with that in mind, like if you drafted Beayel Tuton, I'm going to assume that you drafted him because you believe he is the starting running back
222:45here, right?
222:52And if that's the case, how are you not going to play him when they are favored by eight and a half points? So, in this
222:59instance, I'm letting you know like again, I don't think it's a lock that Belle Tutton's the full-blown starting running back on this team.
223:09So, I personally would go ahead and play Luther Burton.
223:16But a lot of the Bashel Tutin questions we've been getting, I would have assumed that people are just playing Tutin this week because
223:24it's a phenomenal setup against the Browns.
223:29Now, Rev says, "Rashie Rice or Jaylen Waddle?" Very easily rice for me. The Denver Broncos quietly project to be one of the worst
223:41offenses in the league this week.
223:47Now, most feared Dill says, "White or Jonathan Brooks in a full PBR format?"
223:53Um, I have not much interest in Rashad White. The Commanders project to be one of the worst offenses in the league.
224:03And I believe last I checked on Poly Market, the projection was the market they had was 19 and a half points for
224:12the Commanders to score, whereas the Panthers are up at like 22 and a half.
224:17And I think Jonathan Brooks is probably a better running back than Rashad White.
224:22So, I would go ahead and I'd play Jonathan Brooks. Now, Ethan says Michael Mayer or Britain Strange. I think Michael Mayer is interesting, but he is
224:32definitely not somebody that you need to start. But in this setup, yeah, I would go ahead and I would play Michael Mayer. Michael Mayer verse
224:43Britain Strange. Give me Michael Mayer.
224:49ETN or Ibuka full PBR for my flex. I have both of these guys on my team. My selfish wishes are that they score 50
224:59points a piece, right? They're both in my lineup. I'm really excited for both of them. But now that Travis ETN has the
225:07backfield to himself and he does not have to share it with Alvin Kamara, Travis ETN is somebody you would be crazy to have on your bench.
225:16Legitimately crazy.
225:20Like for the love of God, please get him in.
225:26I have neighbors in both of my big money leagues. Do I flex Swift Watson Washington in one and Burden Watson in
225:33the other or drop a bench player for Malach Highfields?
225:36In one of them, I would for sure play DeAndre Swift. DeAndre Swift easily.
225:42Now, in the other, if we're looking at Luther Burden, Christian Watson range, I'd probably go Luther Burden, but not the easiest call there. Zach says,
225:54"Thoughts on Jaden Reed?" I think Jaden Reed has upside or maybe he has upside. It's a hope and
226:01a dream. Um, he obviously hasn't been a differencemaking player in fantasy football in a very long time. And even when he did make a difference, it was a
226:11very minor one. He's mainly just been a bad draft pick year after year after year.
226:16But now you have no Romeo Dobs and you have no Dantavian Wixs.
226:22So the targets are going to be a little bit easier to come by for Reed specifically and the routes because that's been the problem with Jaden Reed.
226:30He hasn't been able to get on the field enough. But now that we have some of these players out of this offense,
226:35there's a chance that now he can get on the field.
226:38So, I see the appeal with Jaden Reed definitely, but I'll say at the same time, no way in
226:47hell I'm starting this dude week one.
226:50Like, yeah, I'll start Christian Watson, somebody that was like the wide receiver, 19 in points per game last year coming off a torn ACL.
226:59So, with Reed, he's definitely worth the rasher spot and he has upside.
227:05However, with that being said, I'm not starting them this week. That's for sure.
227:11Okay.
227:13Now, um I am literally not going to answer this because look at the questions. Just at Flock Fantasy, at Flock Fantasy, at
227:19Flock Fantasy, at Fog Fantasy, at Flock Fantasy, at Flock Fantasy, you really need to do that, man. Um let's go. Alec
227:26Pierce or Stefon Diggs in a half PPR league. So, here it is. Very close. The report that I just read is that Alec
227:35Pierce is going to be on a snap count.
227:41So with that in mind, yeah, you just got to go through and you just got to play Stefon Digs.
227:53Not going to sit here and act like it's the easiest call in the world, but if he's on a snap count, give me dicks.
228:02Okay, now Kyle says, "Flex Luther Burden or DJ Moore also love the Vitz." I really appreciate you, my guy. Um, I think this
228:13is going to be one of those questions you're kind of going back and forth with all season. There'll be some weeks you
228:18want one guy, some weeks you want the other, but this is a week in which you want Luther Burton. The matchup,
228:26frankly, is just going to be too bad for DJ Moore here to consider him overburden. I'm going up against the Houston Texans defense. Obviously, this
228:34is a spot that if we could avoid it, I probably would want to.
228:39Now, Chio says, "Cuba Hubard, Jaylen Borin, or Luther Burden pick two for the flex." So, essentially, we got to bench one of these guys. And the player that I
228:49would bench personally is I'm going to be benching Chuba Hubard. Well, I don't think it should be our base expectation.
228:58At the same time, it wouldn't be the most surprising thing in the world if we were to see Jonathan Brooks be the
229:04straightup starting running back in this backfield.
229:08Um, and I really do like the game environment for Jaylen Warren. Again, I think I have gotten higher on Jaylen Warren as time's gone on. And the reason
229:17for that simply is with the offense completely falling apart for the Atlanta Falcons, like the Steelers, they should
229:27be able to run the ball over and over and over and over again.
229:34Okay, now let's see. Jordan Mason or Jon This is a good question here. I'm be honest.
229:41Jordan Mason or Jonathan Brooks? Let me go ahead and see if we have solid projections on this
229:53cuz my default has been saying I mean I have been saying that we want to go ahead and we want to
230:02take Jonathan Brooks in this spot.
230:14But I think it's tougher. And I actually just pulled it up and y'all know the first thing I did when we saw the Miles
230:19Garrett news is pull up the 2027 Pro Football Championship market on Poly Market. And since Miles Garrett went to
230:29the IR, the Rams went from a 14% chance of winning the Super Bowl, dropped to 13%, and now they've dropped to 12%. I
230:39wouldn't be surprised as people continue to take the no side on that if those odds go even lower for the Los Angeles
230:47Rams. So, the Rams chances of winning that Super Bowl with Garrett on the IR again are dropping. But let me see. Do
230:55we have projections here for the Minnesota Vikings running backs? Because
231:05I would be very interested in seeing that.
231:09Pulling up the fantasy markets. Right now, they have Justin Jefferson, which I love to see this, a 55% chance of scoring 17 or more fantasy points. Love
231:19to see it. Christian Watson, 58% chance to score 10 or more. Um, can we see where we're at with Jordan Mason? Uh,
231:29Jordan Mason's pretty damn low. Jordan Mason only a 53% chance to score eight or more points.
231:36So, yeah, honestly, I think we keep our answer. I think we go ahead and we take Jonathan Brooks there. But obviously, if
231:42y'all wanted to check out any of these markets on Poly Market US, they're available in 49 out of 50 states. The
231:49only state they're not in is Nevada. And if you sign up with code flock, you're going to get $50 added to your account
231:56after you deposit your first 10. And on top of that, you'll get free questions that you can ask in these live streams
232:02as well. Link is in the description as well as the comment section.
232:07Now, let me move this over and let's see what we got here. DK says, "I want to trade for Bree.
232:18Is ETN and Cororum too much for him or is that a good trade?" So, here's the deal. Any week in which Alvin Kamara
232:27misses, I would straight up prefer Okay.
233:00Um, I would straight up prefer ETN over Briaw.
233:04So, what it's going to come down to is it's going to come down to like how much time does Kamar miss?
233:24Because if Kamar is not back for a month, which he was supposed to be back this week, this is a horrible trade.
233:31Easily give me ETN.
233:34ETN will have just as large, if not a larger workhole than Bree and a better offense.
233:41But if Kamar is back next week, then all of a sudden you would prefer Bree.
233:47It's a it's an okay deal to trade ETN and Cororum for him. But I wouldn't do that right now. I would at least wait
233:55until next week when we get some news about Alvin Kabara. I would at least wait a little bit.
234:04Okay, now let's look. Behel Tutin or Marshon Lloyd. I'd probably go ahead and take Bay Shelton. Like again, I know I've
234:13said this a thousand times, but if you drafted Beel Tutin, I'm assuming you did so with the thought that there is a good
234:21chance that Beel Tutin's the starting running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars. And if you think that Toutton is the starting
234:32running back for the Jacksonville Jaguars, like how are you going to bench him in a game in which he's an eight and a half
234:43point favorite? I think you would have to play Tootton.
234:48Now Ryder says full PBR. Should I take the risk and start Neighbors or play Roma? I would play it safe with Rome.
234:56Latest report that we got with neighbors was Sheffy telling us that he is murky at best to play.
235:10Murky at best.
235:13So okay,
235:27now this is from Grod says start two full PPR Quinton Johnston
235:49Jonathan Brooks or Jeremiah Love. Love the app, man. Good stuff. I really appreciate you, my friend. And yeah, shout out to the Flock Fantasy app. If
235:57y'all have not downloaded the Flock Fantasy app, it is a phenomenal resource for you to to use for completely free.
236:07Um, so yeah, obviously we have flockfantasy.com, but the flock fantasy app dropped a couple weeks ago and if it's not already on your phone, use the
236:16trade calculator. Use so many things on there for completely free. So make sure you take advantage of it, ladies and gentlemen. Make sure you take advantage.
236:27Now Timothy says start two Bucky Flowers Teigans full PBR format. Give me the receivers.
236:39Give me the combination of Tigens and Z Flowers.
236:44Okay.
236:54Now, Jameson Williams or Christian Watson for the Flux. I am starting both of these guys. I hope they score a combined 400 fantasy points. But if I
237:03had to choose one, I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to take JMO. He's in the perfect and I repeat, he is in the
237:09perfect game environment.
237:13Okay.
237:14Now, Keith says, "Patrick Mahomes or DJ?" I'm assuming that means Daniel Jones. And the Colts actually project to score more points, I believe, than the
237:24or it's very, very similar with the Colts versus Chiefs projection this week. And I will say like Mahomes is a tough matchup and he's coming off a
237:34significant injury. So I think you could make a strong argument here that you would want to go ahead and you would
237:43want to take uh the side that always benches Patrick Mahomes. But hell, I mean, we're
237:53looking at the Indianapolis Colts. Of course, they're gonna try to run the hell out of the ball. And Daniel Jones coming off a torn Achilles. So, I would
238:01for sure take Patrick Mahomes over Daniel Jones, but I would like to bench Mahomes if we could.
238:06Okay. Now, Fireball says, "Ibuka or neighbors in a happy BR format?" Super easy. You go through and you take egg there. No questions about it.
238:19Okay. Austin and um God says, "You forgot to answer my question. Start two full PBR. Quinton Johnson love or Brooks.
238:28I'd probably bench Jonathan Brooks there.
238:35I'd bench Brooks. Okay.
238:58Now, let's see this next one. Dustin says, "Michael Wilson or Chris Godwin."
239:04Um, I'll go Godwin here. really really easy to banana nan Michael Mayer or Dalton Schultz give me Michael Mayer Brooks or
239:14Quinton Johnston I'm gonna go ahead and take Quinton Johnston Mr. Tyler says, "King Dodd, my question is for the flex full PBR. I can play Wandale, Coker, or
239:23Malachi Fields." I'm going to go with Wandel Robinson in a full PBR format.
239:29Like, um, here's the deal with Malachi Fields. He ain't that good. Or at least I don't think he's that good. Like,
239:35Malachi Fields, you can play if you have Malikite Neighbors and you need a backup if neighbors isn't good to go.
239:43But I don't think your plan A for any team should be Malachi Fields to be honest.
239:56Let's see. We got Quinton Johnston, Alec Pierce, or Mai Lemon for a 14amer. I'm going to go Quinton Johnston. I think
240:03Mai Limmon has a ton of long-term upside, and I actually am really excited about Mai Lemon this year, but I don't
240:09think you can start Mia Lemon in the short term. So,
240:16I would definitely go with Johnston. Um, now Darius says, "Full PBR, Watson or
240:28Parker Washington at my flex."
240:36I think you easily have to go Christian Watson. I I know maybe like I'm just not fully bought into the Parker Washington hype, but from a
240:46points per game perspective last year, Christian Watson was a better player than Parker Washington.
240:55And Christian Watson was coming off a torn ACL.
241:01And since then, Christian Watson now has less target competition with the departure of both Dantavian Wixs as well as
241:13Romeo Dopps.
241:20So yeah, I think I have to go through I think I have to play Christian Watson over Parker Washington.
241:26Now Jaylen Wadd or lad, I'm going to go lad. much better game environment. But of course, we'll keep answering all those free questions up until kickoff.
241:35We do have a few questions I got to prioritize on flockfantasy.com real quick. Um here, Maz for the flex. Um I
241:43would go Godwin over Malik Neighbors. I don't think you roll the dice there.
241:47Bdub running back. Give me uh Bashel Ton verse Montgomery is very close. Um you're actually probably going to play both running backs. put one in at
241:56running back, one at the flex, and then I'd go Brian Thomas over Malik Neighbors. Dr. Squatch here at wide receiver, again, I'd go Brian Thomas
242:04over Neighbors to be honest. Like, as it stands right now, the latest word that we got is Malik Neighbors playing
242:11tonight is murky at best. Murky at best.
242:16And let me pull up Yahoo real quick and see what S would do if he ended up losing
242:24Malik Neighbors in the game tonight.
242:32No way.
242:37This is Salver's Jinxy in the Flock League tonight.
242:41And right now, I mean, obviously, I'm sure that there's a chance that he will change this. He has Malik Neighbors on
242:47his bench and he has Jaden Reed in the lineup instead.
242:53That is insane.
243:03Sal is making some really aggressive calls with his team in the flock league this week. He's starting Kyler over Daniels,
243:13which I think my rankings had it the same way as that, but still sounds crazy since he took Jaden Daniels at the 701.
243:22Michael Mayer over Andrews, which I think my rankings had that as well. But then Jaden Reed over Malik Neighbors, that is insane.
243:35Okay, now anyway for the flex.
243:48Okay, I probably shouldn't do this, but I need to watch this right now anyway.
243:51I'm just interested. I don't know if I should be playing this on the thing. Let me see what S has to say about his Malik
243:57Neighbor stuff.
243:59So, I'm still live right now. It's like an hour until the Sunday games kickoff.
244:03We're still answering questions. people can see this. A nice little behind the scenes for them. Um, this neighbor situation. I currently have Jaden Reed
244:09in my flex spot. I don't know what to do. Nobody knows what to do. Only God knows what to do for Malik Neighbors,
244:15apparently. Like, that's all that's happening right now. So, um, if I had to guess, Malik Neighbors is going to play tonight. It's just a matter if I want to
244:22take that risk. My only other option would be to then drop on my bench Mark Andrews to pick up like Malachi Fields
244:28or Pat Bryant. Obviously, I want to beat Jinxy, but I also want to score the most points this week to get $5,000. Does
244:34putting Malachi Fields in there and getting, let's just call it, five to seven points. Is that better than just putting Jaden Reed in? Now, that is what
244:41I'm weighing. If Malik Neighbors plays, I think he's a full go. I don't think they're doing this big song and dance
244:45and then he doesn't play. I think it's gamesmanship if he does play and he's he's a close to a full go. This is my
244:50biggest decision probably of the entire season and it's happening in week one.
244:54Sunday Night Football, Malik Neighbors.
244:55Right now, Jaden Reed is in my lineup. I have an hour until the games start. Five hours till Jaden Reed plays the switch.
245:00>> Okay. Yeah, we'll see if he switches it.
245:02But super interesting to see that he is starting.
245:08God, I'm shocked to see that freaking Jaden Reed.
245:15Um, but yeah, and we'll be live as well on the Flock League YouTube channel tonight um during the Sunday night football
245:24game. Sweating it out there. So, of course, I hope to see you there in the Sunday Night Football live stream on the
245:31Flock League channel. If you're not already subscribed, subscribe.
245:34Hopefully, we had 100,000 subs today.
245:35We'll see. But we're closing in now. For the flex for this team, I would play Marshon Lloyd over Jonathan Brooks and Cardinal
245:44Tate. I'd way rather have Cardinal Tate rest of season, but I don't want to play Tate week one. Um, IGM, you're starting
245:50Lawrence, Walker, Kairen. Wide receiver, we have Puka. I'm assuming you already started. Z Flowers, tight end, Jawan, and then yeah, leave the flex as is.
246:00Abuka is gonna absolutely smash. Now, Cade needs help with the flex. Um, right now you got to play Drake London over
246:07Bay Shell Tutin. Man, I know it sucks. I know obviously Drake London and a really tough spot when it comes to his
246:13quarterback play, but he's just such a freaking beast and he's going to get so many targets. Now, Ciney, here for your
246:20flex spot. I think we'd go ahead and probably play Rashi Rice, right?
246:26It's either Rice or Bucky Irving for me.
246:29Um, if we knew that Bucky was going to have the same role that he had his rookie season, we would go ahead and
246:37play him easily. But I am a little bit concerned about the game ball usage. So, I think Rice is the safer play week one.
246:42Mando play Ted McMillan at wide receiver. And then, actually, no, never mind. We're going to I'm probably going to go I Buuka and ETN and you and me are
246:50going to ride this out together, my friend. I'm starting both of these guys as well. Um, Ibuka is a little riskier
246:56coming off the injury compared to Tedo and McMillan, but Ibuka has the best matchup possible while at the same time you're in a
247:05situation in which no Jaylen McMillan, he should see additional targets as well. Now, let's swing this over. Dream says, "Hey, Mason, hope you're doing
247:14well. I think I drafted a pretty good team. The thing that concerns me is the injury concerns with Neighbors and McAffrey. Two players I was trying to
247:22fade, but I couldn't pass up because their value since CMC fell to me at the 111 and Neighbors fell to me at the
247:28three. Okay, so here's the deal, man.
247:32If you have a team that is sitting with McCaffrey, Chase Brown, Malik Neighbors, it is so good. It doesn't matter that
247:41you have the injury concerns at the moment.
247:45You are in a phenomenal spot, man.
247:52Don't stress about this.
247:55Your lineup now, you have Caleb, CMC, Chase Brown, Neighbors, Flowers, Ferg, tight end. It's a double flex league, so the depth matters. You have McGomery,
248:04Brian Thomas, and the flexes. I would play Chris Godwin over Malik Neighbors right now.
248:12just week one. And then I think longterm what I probably look to do there is longterm I'm probably going to go ahead
248:20and long term. I probably trade to upgrade
248:36tight end or QB. That could look a couple different ways. I think the most likely way that you go about that is you
248:43wait until you get a couple rookie wide receivers breaking out. Whether that's Casey Conception, whether that is Jordan Tyson, obviously Tyson on the IR right
248:52now, but long term, I think it's going to make a lot of sense for us to go through and try to trade one of those
248:56rookie receivers maybe with Caleb and get to a true elite QB. But you're going to have to wait until they officially
249:01break out for that to be possible. But phenomenal team, obviously the injury stuff sucks right now, but still you get through it. Now, ZPIB, looks like you
249:10didn't put any trade stuff there. So, I'll send you over another free um trade question to resubmit. Prime Hunter here for the flex. I would play Godwin over
249:18Malik Neighbors right now. Godwin's in a phenomenal matchup with an incredible setup. Now, Jay Schmidt here at wide receiver. You're going to play Jameson
249:28Williams. Jameson Williams again, phenomenal setup. Should be a game that just has fireworks from start to finish.
249:36Now, nice Marmmont says, "Any moves I need to make? The waiverwire isn't too deep at the moment. Are we going to go
249:42Rome or Jaden Reed week one?" I don't think Jaden Reed startable week one.
249:47I I would not get him in. Um I would go Rome for sure. So, the waiverwire, you actually have good names out here, man.
249:55You got Tyson, you got Kalin Black. It's easy to say this, but obviously if you were to have an injured reserve slot
250:02open, I would very easily go ahead and pick up Jordan Tyson. I think it'd be a very easy spot to go ahead and just cut
250:11Britain Strange, pick up Jordan Tyson, throw Tyson on your IR, and then
250:26honestly, f it. I would rather have Caleb Black at this point over Brenton Strange if it's a team with Tyler Warren. If you have Tyler Warren, you
250:33are for sure just going through and jamming him every single week over Strange regardless. And then quarterback, we're playing the matchups
250:39with it. It's a 12 team league. Um running back, we have Derrick Henry Bree, wide receiver, JSN Neighbors. We have Tyler Warden at tight end. McGomery
250:47and the flex. I would say this week play Roma Dunce over Malik Neighbors. But yeah, you got a damn good team here,
250:54man. Damn good team. I just make those small waiverwire pivots. Now GC wide receiver between neighbors Rome
251:05Brian Thomas. I will play Roma and I'll roll the dice with the calf injury. Now DHY here at wide receiver. I would go
251:15with Malik Neighbors over Carnell Tates.
251:18Actually, no. F it, man. You play Malik Neighbors instead of freaking Devon.
251:23Don't play Devon. Play Malik Neighbors and Carell Tate. Get Vale out of this lineup. And then you could drop Devon as
251:29well and pick up Malachi Fields just in case Neighbors doesn't play. Now Terminator here we go JSN Tagens at wide receiver. Um at wide receiver three
251:40we're going to go Xavier Worthy. And then in your flex between Rodriguez and Denzel Boston, assuming you didn't already play Shahed, I would go Chris
251:48Rodriguez.
251:50Now agent at wide receiver, you go Jaylen Wadd. tight end Leaporta over Jawan Johnson. Both are incredible plays though. And then as we go over to the
252:01flex, I probably play Beel Tudin over Jeremiah Love this week and this week only. Now Gary here, I played Quinn Sean Judkins over
252:11Tony Pard. Um the Browns are eating halfpoint dogs, so you don't love it, but you knew they were going to be
252:16losing a lot of games and projected very poorly when you drafted Judkins. Now Brandon with our next one. Um, tight ends between Pitts and Goddard, I'm
252:26gonna goddard at this point, honestly, given the Cooper Rush start that we have for Pitts. And then in your flex spots,
252:33I'm gonna go with Wadd and Jaylen Borin.
252:36I don't think you roll the dice on Neighbors. Now, Basque here for the flex. Um, pretty easy decision to just play Quinshan Judkins. Like, Judkins is
252:44in a really tough setup, but so is Terry McLaren. And Terry McLaren would be your next best play now.
252:53JPL quarterback between Kyler and Strat.
252:55Kyler's in a phenomenal matchup. Play Kyler. Running back beha Luther Burden. Um Parker Washington are the plays easily. Tight ends, I'm
253:07assuming you already played KD. If you didn't, I mean, the guy you would have left over is Gadston. And then in your
253:12flex, I'm going to assume that you played Raandre Stevenson. So, I don't know how else you would have played anything else.
253:19Now, Mike Williams here, quarterback between Lawrence and Baker.
253:27I'm gonna go Lawrence. Both are strong plays this week.
253:31Running back, Bejon, auto start, Dererick Henry, auto start.
253:36Wide receiver, we're going to go Abbuka.
253:38And if you did not play Devonte Adams, Parker Washington, then Goddard at tight end. And then the flex, we'd go Bay
253:44Shell Tuten over Michael Wilson. But I'm assuming there's a good chance you already play Devonte Adams. Now, Narhound here, we need to choose between
253:51Sutton and Brian Thomas. I'd go Brian Thomas. I do not like the match up for Sutton and I'd go Pard over Sutton in
253:56the flex as well. Not super high on Sutton this week. Now, KE here for the flex. We are looking at uh
254:04Malik Neighbors versus like Jordan Addison effectively.
254:09I would go Neighbors and then I think you probably just drop like Tyler Algier for Malachi Fields if he doesn't if
254:17Neighbors doesn't play. Now J H Zmano running back we are going to go ahead and play Jeremiah Love over RJ Harvey.
254:26It's tough though. I'm wide receiver Ibuka JO and then in the flex Wadd those wide receiver plays are super easy.
254:35Uh, again, I think you starred Jeremiah Love in that instance. You're not as excited about it, though. Now, let me pivot this over. We are going to
254:44continue to rip through these live questions that we have in the chats.
254:51Okay.
255:13Okay.
255:15I'm sorry. And let me pull up the live chat. I'm looking for it right now.
255:19Okay. We're gonna get to these live chat questions. We're gonna be answering all the free questions in the chat. But I'm
255:24sorry, one last bathroom break. I've eaten nothing. Drank an energy drink.
255:28I've had two big glasses of water. So, my throat stays fine. I'll be back in a sec.
255:59All right, we are back. I am sorry for the
256:29wait, ladies and gentlemen. And again, we are 45 minutes till kickoff. We've been live for about four and a half hours. So, please, if you have not done
256:38so already, go down there, drop a like on the live stream right now. Um, and subscribe to the channel. While I live
256:45stream every single day answering your fantasy football questions until Christmas, um, Sunday morning streams are by far and away the most important
256:53for us. So, if you're ever going to go down there and drop a like, please do so now. And let's see what we got. We got
257:01Rome, Quinton Johnson, or Jordan Addison at my last flex. I am probably going to go ahead and play Roma Dunce, but that's
257:10cuz I am not that worried about his calf injury. If you are really concerned, then you can go ahead and you can
257:18instead look at probably Addison. I'd go I think I'd go Addison over Quinton Johnson. We got Quinton Johnson or Marshon Lloyd. I
257:28think we are going to go ahead and take Marshon Lloyd at this point who again does project to be the starting running
257:33back in Green Bay. Um these are says J Mo or Malik Neighbors. Let me try to answer as many of these questions as I
257:40possibly can right now. Let me go through and I'll show y'all where Neighbors is and my up-to-date rankings on vlogfantasy.com.
257:50Um, and I'll answer this real quick. Jameson Williams is so easily a play over Malik Neighbors, it's not even funny.
257:59So, here is where I have Malik Neighbors in my week one rankings on the site.
258:08Okay, let's go through and let's look at this. The guys that I would play, zero hesitation, they are in my lineup over
258:18Malik Neighbors, Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, Luther Burden, Christian Watson, DJ Moore, Roma
258:28Dunay, as well as Terry McLaren.
258:31Obviously, we are way too low on Mike Evans in the rankings this week. I was worried about the injury stuff. I was
258:36wrong. Now, this is the tier in which it is up to you. You call your shot with your own risk tolerance. Chris Godwin,
258:46Brian Thomas, Parker Washington, Marvin Harrison, DK Mechaf, any of those names, it's up to you. Do
258:57you like to live life on the edge?
259:02Right? Do you like to live life dangerously?
259:05If so, you could consider neighbors over those guys. If not, just play the other name there.
259:15Now, in terms of the players that I would personally play Malik Neighbors over, Quinton Johnson,
259:26Jordan Addison, Michael Pitman Jr., Courtland Sutton, Stefon Diggs, Cardell
259:35Tate, Trey Tucker, Juan Del Robinson.
259:39So, as we're in this tier, I personally, for my own style, I would like to go through roll the dice
259:54on neighbors over one of those names.
260:00However, this tier is where it's up to you.
260:08And this tier is where you would be crazy to play Malik Neighbors over them.
260:14Also, you can see this tier here. So, hopefully that helps with some of the Malik Neighbors stuff. But again, I would say that
260:25um like Jameson Williams verse Malik Neighbors, it's Jameson Williams easily.
260:32Now, Malik Neighbors coming out with a question says Dart or Caleb in a four-point passing touchdown format. I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to play
260:39Caleb Williams. Man, the projections for the Chicago Bears offense are really compelling.
260:51Like I'll go ahead and pull up what we have right now for the Chicago Carolina game, but it's supposed to be a
260:58surprisingly high-scoring contest between the two teams.
261:04Like right now, you have a 60% chance that the Bears are winning this game.
261:08That's pretty much stayed constant um for a while now. And the overunder of this game is 46 and a half points.
261:19The spreads two and a half.
261:23The Bears project to score 24 and a half points this week.
261:28So when we go over and we look at the Dallas Cowboys, obviously the Cowboys have a garbage garbage defense. But if
261:35we look at the projections with the Giants here, um the Giants project at 23 and a half. is
261:45similar, but you can see that we have more money on the no side than the yes side of this. And it has gone down by
261:534%. And I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that was traders going through and trading on the Malik Neighbors news, expecting now that Neighbors probably
262:02has a decent chance of missing, so they're buying the no side. So I would go with Caleb over Jackson Dart. If we
262:11were told Neighbors was 100%. At that point, you probably go ahead and you just play, I mean, up to you because
262:19obviously it's a super compelling matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. But obviously, if you wanted to check out any of these markets, you can find them on Poly
262:29Market US. If you sign up with code flock, after you make a $10 deposit, you are going to get $50 added to your
262:36account. Poly Market US is available in every single state outside of Nevada.
262:42And on top of that as well, um you are going to get free questions for these live streams and I'm live streaming
262:49every single day until Christmas. So, you should have plenty of opportunities to get them in. Now, Nugs with our next question. It's asking full PBR. We go on
262:58Christian Watson verse Parker Washington. Um pretty easily. I want to play Christian Watson here, man.
263:05Again, I know I'm going to have to Here's what's going to have to happen.
263:09I'm going to live stream after the games talking about everything that happens tonight. And with how many people I have told to play Christian Watson, I am
263:17going to have to show up to that live stream with a bag on my head with two little eyeholes cut out if Christian
263:24Watson flops.
263:28So, I very much am rooting for Christian Watson, but again, my take is I don't
263:37know if they go on the into the week with Marshon Lloyd as their starting running back and go, you know what, let's have a
263:49game plan of let's run it, run it, run it, run it, run it, run it, run it.
263:53So, I think they throw the ball aggressively. I want Watson.
263:58Now James says, "Rome or Dobbins at the flex?" I do not like this setup for Dobbins. If you're in a full PBR format,
264:04I think I'd pretty clearly rather have Roma.
264:07Her reason being is Dobbins. We know he's not going to catch the ball. So, he's kind of a touchdown or bust running back and he's in a
264:17committee with Harvey plus potentially, as crazy as it sounds, Jonah Coleman.
264:39and I don't like the setup for him to score a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs.
264:45Again, pretty damn low projection that you have on the Denver Broncos offense this week.
264:50Now, Steel says, "Jonathan Brooks or Trey Tucker at the Flux in a full PPR format."
264:58If you would have asked me this at the beginning of the week, I would have said, "Jonathan Brooks, not even really
265:02close. How is this even a question?"
265:12But it's damn close, man.
265:28It really is damn close and it's up to you.
265:33Um, Caesar says, "Where does Malachi Fields rank if Malik Neighbor sits?" I think this is a really good question because maybe this helps a lot of people
265:40decide with the Malik Neighbor stuff.
265:42Let me pull up my wide receiver rankings and let's go through the hypothetical of if you did not have if Malik Neighbors was out, where would
265:53I put Malachi Fields?
265:58I think I would put him at about wide receiver 55.
266:04I would have Xavier Worthy over Malachi Fields. I would have Jacobe Myers over Malachi Fields. I would have Casey Conception. I would have Jaylen Coker.
266:13Malachi Fields would be right ahead of like Denzel Boston, Omar Cooper, Keenan Allen for me. So again, Malachi Fields is not a great receiver. The matchup's
266:24really good and at the same time he probably would get a decent role, but don't think like, oh, okay, if Malik
266:35Neighbors misses, I can pivot over to Malachi Fields and he's like a low and wide receiver, too. No, he's gonna be
266:41bad. He'll be real bad.
266:45So, um, hope hopefully that helps.
267:05Now, neighbors are Aaron Jones of the Flex. Like, this is a good shout, right?
267:09If I would project Malachi Fields to score like seven fantasy points this week, Aaron Jones would be something similar.
267:44God, I don't know if y'all can hear my stumble my tummy rumbling, but here's the deal. Like, if we think Malachi
267:49Fields would project for like seven points, Aaron Jones for like nine points, if Neighbors plays, this dude's projecting for 18.
268:00So, it's 100% worth rolling the dice on Malik Neighbors versus Aaron Jones if like the gap between Malachi Fields and Aaron Jones isn't massive. But like
268:11obviously when we get to like Jameson Williams level it's like hey the gap between Jameson Williams and Malachi Fields would be crazy.
268:20So then in that case, you just absolutely have to start the known quantity with JMO.
268:30Now, let's see. We got Abe says, "Bro, go take a break before red zone starts." My brother, we're going to be here until red zone starts.
268:42We're going to be here until kickoff, so don't worry about that. Now, RM says, "Superlex, Daniel Jones or Christian?"
268:48I'll go Daniel Jones for sure. easily Daniel Jones over Christian Watson and Superflex.
268:53Should I start Craft or Andrews? I would go Tucker Craft.
268:58I will say I'm a little bit nervous based on us seeing the other tight end coming off a significant injury with
269:04George KD face plants week one, but I don't know. They give Craft a contract
269:32extension. That gives me a little more faith in him. I'd still go Craft.
269:35Especially if we want to say that the Packers are going to throw the ball a ton. Now, Mystic Cade says, "Should I
269:40trade James Cook and Chase Brown for Bejon in attention?" No, I would not.
269:45Like, here's the deal. Obviously, Bejon's in a different tier than James Cook and Chase Brown, but if we had to project out these running backs in the
269:53short term when the Atlanta Falcons are on their QB3, man, I think you just got to go ahead
270:07and keep James Cook and Chase Brown. I think you have to.
270:12Kyler or Trevor Lawrence, both are incredible plays. I think it's up to you to be honest.
270:17Adam says, "Pick two to start between RJ Harvey, Chuba Hubard, or Jonathan Brooks."
270:25I think I may monopolize the backfield and Carolina.
270:32I think we go ahead and take Chuba and Brooks here.
270:37Sean says, "How do you set flock rankings to week one instead of full season?" So, if you're on mobile, if that's how you're asking, you would just
270:45hit this little filter button here, and you can go ahead and click week one instead of 2026. If you're on desktop,
270:52it's maybe a little bit easier to see where on desktop there's just a toggle.
270:57So, mobile, it's the filter button, but hopefully I can get the devs to make
271:07that clear. Devin says, Tate or Godwin?
271:10I would for sure go Chris Godwin over Carnell Tate this week.
271:15But let me go ahead and I know we just have a few questions on flogfantasy.com that we need to prioritize before
271:20kickoff here. Then we'll get right back to the free ones. Chris, um, looks like you did not put anything in your
271:26starting lineup. So, I'm going to send you over another free start set question so you can resubmit.
271:30Now, leak here for tight end. I'm going to go Jawan Johnson over Tucker Craft.
271:36And then for the flex, I'm gonna take Brian Thomas over like Josh DS.
271:41Evan running back, we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna play Bashel Tunin over Chuba and Lloyd. Wide receiver, I think we are going to be playing probably
271:50Michael Pitman Jr. I don't love it. And then in your flex spots, I'm not playing Harold Fannon here, man. I'm going with
271:58the running backs. I'm going with like Marshon Lloyd and Tony Pard.
272:03KJ at wide receiver. play Garrett Wilson over Roman Dunce. Terry and Metaf Wilson's kind of the easy play. Chicken Tendies did not put a tight end option
272:12for us. If you need a streamer, Michael Mayer, obviously if Jawan Johnson's not available, Jawan Johnson would be the best pickup.
272:24God, trying to get every little drop of energy drink I got in that for the flex. We're going to go ahead.
272:30We're going to jam in Bashel Tutin here.
272:32Now, brilliant validity at running back between Love, Bucky Irving, easily Bucky Irving this week, Jeremiah Love long-term. And then in the flex, I would
272:42go Jameson Williams over Jeremiah Love.
272:46Steve here for the Flux, I'm going to take Bashel Tutin over Jordan Mason and Marshon Lloyd. Again, with Tuton, the Jags right now point favorites. I'd
272:54assume they can run the ball. And Riley here for the flex.
273:01We have the neighbors risk. We do have Malachi Fields. I'm not going to do it.
273:04I I'll just play Quinchan Jodkins. We'll take the guaranteed touches at running back. Garbage offense though, so obviously we're not super super excited
273:11about it.
273:12Adam, quarterback between Caleb and Lawrence. Four-point passing touchdown.
273:15Give me Caleb. Wide receiver, we're going to go Luther Burden and Jaylen Wadd. Tight end Gawan Johnson. And then in the flex, I think we're going to play
273:24Christian Watson. I don't think you need to roll the dice on Malik Neighbors.
273:29But let me pivot this back over and let's answer some more of the questions in the live chat. So, um, please, if you
273:38have not done so already, uh, make sure you go down there, drop a like on the stream. I live stream every single day
273:44answering fantasy football questions, but Sunday morning streams are by far and away the most important for us. Um, so please, if you haven't already, make
273:53sure you drop a like, subscribe to the channel. I'll be live after the games tonight talking about everything that happens in that recap. And then also, of
274:02course, if you wanted to support the channel, if you wanted to have some fun today, um you can find those markets and
274:11projections that we look at in the stream every day on Poly Market US. The link is in the description. It's in the
274:20comment section. If you sign up with code flock, you're going to be getting $50 added to your account after you deposit your first 10. And on top of
274:29that, as well, um you'll be getting free questions in these live streams. Lastly, um Apolarket US is available in every
274:40single state outside of Nevada, and the amount of options that they have in each game is unbelievable. Like in this Packers Vikings game, they have 970
274:50total markets. So, not just who ends up winning the games, which it looks like the Vikings are trending in that direction, but also the spread. And you
274:59can get probabilities on different things, right? You can run it up to like do you think the Minnesota Vikings win by 10 and a half points or more? Yes or
275:07no? You know, 13 and a half points, 14 and a half, like you can do anything you want here. It's absolutely incredible.
275:13Not again. Links in the description comment section. Now, let's go ahead and let's look at some of these. Harry is asking JO or Christian Watson for the
275:22flex. For me, pretty easily. I think we are going to want to go ahead and play Jameson Williams.
275:29Game environment projects out to have so many damn points scored. The Lions project to be, I think, maybe the highest scoring offense of the week.
275:39So very easy spot to just go ahead and jam in Jameson Williams.
275:47Now Zoney, Rome, Quinton Johnson, or Bashel Tutin. I can choose two.
275:55Okay.
276:00I probably bench Quinton Johnston. I probably play the combination of Bay Shell Tudin as well as Roma here.
276:08Now we got neighbors Rome or Michael Mayer. For the love of God, don't be considering Michael Mayer in this range.
276:18Like Michael Mayer is very much an interesting play in really deep formats or if you lost out on Brock Bowers or
276:26maybe you went zero tight end, right?
276:30But let's go through and let's look at Michael Mayer because we've seen him play for three seasons now. Michael
276:39Mayer in terms of 15 point games or more has had two games in three NFL seasons with 15 or more points. Michael Mayer as
276:49a rookie before Brock Bowers ever got there had three games with 10 or more fantasy points and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10
277:01with five or fewer. So, this is an upside shot, but this is definitely not a player that you could place over
277:09somebody like Roma Dunce.
277:12So, do not do that, my friend. Please go ahead and instead play Rome.
277:19If you're confident with neighbors, go neighbors. But whatever the hell you do, don't throw Michael Mayer into your
277:28flex. Please, for the love of God. Now 7 CN says Judkins or Lad is the flex in a full PBR. Full PBR. I am going to go
277:36ahead. I'm going to play Lad Maki.
277:39Chargers project to score a ton of points. I think a concern that you may end up having here is going to be
277:48like if the Chargers just straight up boat race the Arizona Cardinals, what's the passing volume that we are going to get for
277:57Los Angeles? That would be the concern we have now. M says, "Quinton Johnson or Brian Thomas Jr. and a single flex two
278:06receiver. Brian Thomas Jr. has a terrible game environment. I kind of want to play Quinton Johnston. Thank you, Mason.
278:15Okay.
278:19I wouldn't say Brian like I understand where you're coming from and that there's a chance that the Jags go out there and they boat race
278:27the Browns and they run the ball a ton in the second half, but you can say the same exact thing about Quinton Johnston
278:32here.
278:36So, I have it as
278:52Brian Thomas. I'm not gonna fault you for going with Quinton Johnston, but I don't know
279:03if you can do so with the explanation that like, oh, the game environment is going to be really bad for Quinton
279:08Johnson, but it's going to be good for I'm sorry for Brian Thomas, but it's going to be good for Quinton Johnson. I
279:14kind of think they're in similar spots.
279:17Okay, Gabriel says, "Yo, Mason, big fan.
279:18Any news on neighbors? And what two players should I start between Worthy Brooks, Tate Pard? The last word that we have on Malik Neighbors is he's leaving
279:27it to God. Adam Sheffy says that it's murky at best. And then between Worthy Brooks, Tate Pard, I would go with the
279:35two Tennessee Titans with Tony Pard as well as Cardell Tate.
279:41Now, if you have Malik Neighbors, the thing is Xavier Worthy plays on Monday night. So, you could roll the dice that
279:49Neighbors plays and even if he doesn't, you could have an okay pivot over two worthy.
280:00Now, let's see. We have should we start Bree or Tiggins? Um, both are phenomenal plays. Like, I think you can make a
280:07strong argument for either one. For me, I would prefer Bree Hall just given the fact that he is a true three- down
280:14running back and he is gonna see work every single day. I'm sorry, every single down pretty much. So, I would take the guaranteed volume with Breece.
280:21And also, there are very few games in which the New York Jets could potentially be winning and want to run the ball, but this game against the
280:29Tennessee Titans is one of those.
280:32Okay, now Puka's Pooky says, "Which tight ends are you putting over Harold Fannon this week?"
280:41I would play the obvious guys such as Trey McBride, such as Coulson Loveland, such as Tyler
280:53Warren, such as Sam Leaporta. The other name that I would pretty easily play over Harold Fannon is Jawan Johnson. But then outside of that, if you're
281:03comparing him to like Kyle Pittz, Tucker Craft, then I do think it's going to be closish and up to you.
281:12Now, let's see. Shir Tate or Jordan Mason for the flex. Whatever you do, do not play Khalil Shakir. I have no
281:18interest in that. It really would come down to do you want to go with Carnell Tate or Jordan Mason. I would be fine
281:27either way. I think both guys have cap ceilings and pretty low floors as well.
281:32If it was a full PBR format, that's where I think you can consider Tate.
281:36Anything less than a full PBR league, then in that case, uh, you can't do anything. You would just have to simply
281:52if it's a happy PBR format, if it's a nonPR league, you're having to play Jordan Mason. Full PBR is where you can
281:58consider Tate, though. Don't play Shakira regardless.
282:02Okay.
282:03Now, this one is, is Luther Burton for AJ Brown a good trade?
282:10I have Luther Burden over AJ Brown. I will say it kind of depends on your setup though. If you're playing in a
282:17super shallow league, a super shallow format where Luther Burton's on your bench, then at
282:30that point, sure, by all means, go with AJ Brown.
282:35Because if it's that shallow of a league, then you can hold out on AJ Brown coming back.
282:42Now, Sevir says, "Cam Scataboo or Baky Irving?" Now that Shawn Tucker's out, this is a damn close question. I think I
282:50would have said with Shawn Tucker playing, pretty easily give me Bucky.
283:00But now at this point I think I'm sorry with Shan Tucker playing I think pretty easily give me scat.
283:06But now at this point I think you can very easily switch over to Bucky Irving.
283:11I think that this is a very fair question and it very much is going to be up to you here.
283:18Now Troy says did I mess up trading ETN and Christian Watson for Tutin and Lad in a 10 team league? So, ETN to Tutin
283:28down tier, Christian Watson to lad up tier. I think it was a very fair trade and I think very much it's just one of those trades
283:37that it's up to you and your personal preference and you could see it working out either way. So, I'm not going to say
283:43you messed that deal up. I could see it swinging either way. Maybe it turns out to be a massive hit for you. Maybe it
283:48turns out to be a massive whiff. You definitely like didn't rob the guy or anything. It's not like you made out
283:53like a bandit.
283:56Now, do I start scat or Luther Burden?
283:58Now that Roma is playing, I will play Cam Scataboo over Luther Burton.
284:07Now, HB Baller says Bucky Rome or Parker Washington in the flex. I would for sure play Bucky. Again, I am more excited
284:19about Bucky Irving now that we are in a situation in which Shawn Tucker's missing. So instead of it being a potential threeman running back
284:28by committee, it's most likely instead a twoman running back by committee. So I think you bump Bucky up just a bit here.
284:38Now, let me just double check to make sure we have no questions on flockfantasy.com because it would be no no bueno if I missed those. Gallows
284:47here, quarterback, we have Lawrence versy. Obviously Party's already played.
284:51I don't know who you started. Um, running back, obviously, I'm assuming we started CMC, we had play Saquon Barkley here as well. Going over to wide
284:59receiver. Um, Jaylen Wadd is a super easy play. Tight end Kyle Pittz is a really easy play. And then down here in
285:05the flex, I don't know if you already played from Madre Stevenson. Hopefully, you did. If not, Luther Burton would be your option. Now, Cali Jack, happy to
285:15see you again, my friend. Says, "Glad to be back. Mason, help me out. The flex sucks." Running back, obviously, you know, you have JT and McCaffrey in
285:21there. phenomenal running back room.
285:23Wide receiver, we have Flowers. And then most likely, GH, Chris Godwin, tight end, I'm sorry, Roma. We're going to go Godwin in the flex. And then down here
285:32in the flex, this is a really tough call, man. You got three players you can choose from.
285:39You got Jeremiah Love, Brian Thomas, and Chris Godwin. I think that this is very much going to be up to you, and I think
285:46you can go in any direction that you want here.
285:50Can y'all please spam the chat? You have to bench one name.
285:56One name. Who are you benching? Brian Thomas, Jeremiah Love, or Chris Godwin.
286:03This is for Cali Jack, longtime member of the flock. So, please spam the chat.
286:08Who are you benching? You need to bench one name. Brian Thomas, Chris Godwin, or Jeremiah Love.
286:18We got a lot of BTJ, a lot of Brian Thomas Jr., my friend.
286:25Almost everybody. We got a couple people mixing in Jeremiah Love. But yeah, let's go ahead. Let's run it that way. Um,
286:33play Jeremiah Love in Godwin. Again, Jeremiah Love is for sure going to be a super exciting start in the long term,
286:41but here in the short term, it's just extremely difficult with him coming off of the high ankle sprain. Now, let's pivot this back over and let's start
286:51answering some questions in the chat.
286:55Um, Abe says, "Do I start Christian Watson or Luther Burden or Toutin?" So, I have them ranked back to back. It
287:02would have been very easily Luther Burden if it wasn't for Roma Dunce now playing.
287:13But here now instead at this point I think it is going to be up to you.
287:19Like I'm hoping it's Christian Watson because obviously I have Christian Watson on my team. I am sorry. Like legitimately if you look at my rankings
287:26on the site it's back toback here. If can we use a tiebreaker of what the markets look like right now? If we look at the Christian
287:37Watson markets fantasy points, Christian Watson is 5050
287:55to score 12 or more.
287:58Let me see if we can find the and that's PPR points. Let me see if we can find the Chicago Bears.
288:21So again, 5050 to score 12 more more points. I think the bears are actually the very top market up here, aren't
288:27they?
288:31Okay, the Chicago Bears PPR points. Luther Burden to score 12 or
288:43more points has a much higher percent chance. It is not 50/50.
288:49So maybe you use this to use a tiebreaker as Luther Burden. my rankings have them back to back. I am hoping
288:56that it ends up being Christian Watson because that's who I'm starting. But yeah, I think you can probably use that as a tiebreaker to go burden over
289:06Watson.
289:08And then of course, if y'all wanted to check out any of those markets, it's on Poly Market US. Code Flock gets you $50
289:14added to your account right after you deposit 10 bucks. And on top of that as well, Poly Market US is available in 49
289:21out of 50 states everywhere but Nevada.
289:24And when you use code flock, you'll also get free questions for these live streams as well.
289:30But and then in terms of who I think ends up doing the punishment this week, I would say that it most likely is going to be
289:40Rome, the Roman Empire who just has been horrendous.
289:46Now two expert here says need to start two of Luther Burden Godwin Wadd or
289:52Judkins in a full PPR. Who do I start?
290:01I'd probably go with Wadd and Judkins.
290:07Not the easiest call because I think both are going to be in bad game environments.
290:11Now Gabe does Godwin or Marv for full PPR?
290:16I would for sure go Godwin. I like the setup in which you have no Jaylen McMillan and at the same time this is a
290:23Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that probably is going to have to be throwing the ball consistently given the fact that they are dogs to Cincy and the spread on this
290:31game's I'm sorry the overunder of this game is massive. There should be a ton of points scored.
290:37Now let's see. We got Wadd or Parker Washington. Again, I don't love the game environment here for the Denver Broncos, but it's a pretty easy spot to say just
290:46go ahead and play Jaylen Waddle.
290:48Now, real interesting one here. Having a tough time deciding starts it Genty or Patrick Mahomes in a superflex.
290:57Damn, man. I'm gonna be honest. I don't know.
291:11I would probably default to go let's go with the stud QB in superflex.
291:22Let's go ahead and let's take Patrick Mahomes.
291:28That would be my guess and that would be my default there.
291:33Now, Toutin or Love and Michael Mayer or Kyle Pittz for sure. Kyle Pitts over Michael Mayer easily there.
291:44Like Michael Mayer is an intriguing opportunity for people that have no tight end.
291:52Like if you waited until the last round of your fantasy draft to take a tight end, sure, pick up Michael Mayer. If you
291:58add Brock Bowers, yeah, that's a great spot to be looking at Michael Mayer.
292:03But if you have a viable tight end right now there is
292:20no way I'm playing him over like Cal Pitts and between Bashel Tutin and Jeremiah Love.
292:31Jeremiah Love is a 10-point dog in his matchup.
292:36On the flip side of that, Bashel Tutton and a half eight and a half point favorite in his. So,
292:46I would go ahead and I realistically would probably play Bashell Tutin this week. If it wasn't for the high ankle sprain of Jeremiah Love, I would go with
292:56Love, but I think we want to be hesitant to play him week one.
293:01Okay, now Justin full PBR neighbors or Parker Washington.
293:09This is the tier where it's up to you and your risk tolerance. If you have somebody like Xavier Worthy that plays
293:16on Monday night, by all means go out there and roll with Malik Neighbors.
293:25If you do not have a pivot option and you do not want to cut anybody on your bench to pick up like
293:32Malachi Fields, then this is the range where you could just play it safe and you could just go ahead and play Parker
293:39Washington.
293:41Okay. Neighbors Godwin or Michael Pitman Jr. for the flex. I'd go ahead and I'd play Chris Godwin.
293:50Now Micah says, "Roma Dunce, Brian Thomas, DK Medaf, Quinton Johnston. We need to start two. Thanks.
294:00Okay. I think I'm gonna go Roma Dunce and Brian Thomas.
294:06Graham Christian Watson or Roma. I will go with Christian Watson here.
294:14Emo Fry Cookook. Love the name. Hey Mason, would you run Rome over Neighbors? I Malachi Fields if neighbors is inactive. This is the range, man,
294:22where I I'm sorry. I don't know the right answer. I wish I did.
294:27If you already have Malachi Fields on your team, they're I'm a little bit more willing to tell you, let's just go ahead and play
294:34Malik Neighbors.
294:50Yeah, let's go ahead and let's take neighbors here.
294:55Now, this from Tyler says, "Mason, Christian Watson or God, one of my superflex, good, man." Appreciate you, my friend. I'm going to go ahead and
295:03play Christian Watson again. I know I've told a lot of people to play Christian Watson today, but I don't think it's a
295:09horrible decision given the fact again with Josh Jacobs being out, I'd assume they throw the throw the ball a ton.
295:17Now, Montgomery or Burden here.
295:23Safety is Montgomery. Upsides Burden. If it's a full PBR and then Michael Mayer or Dallas Goddard, I for sure go Dallas.
295:30Parker Washington or Chris Godwin. Given the matchup that he has, I'm going to go ahead and tell um say Chris Godwin on
295:37this one. Judkins or Marshon Lloyd. I would go ahead and I would take Quinn Sean Judkins here.
295:48Rome Brian Thomas DK Metaf I think we already answered this man you're a Rome Brian Thomas out of play
295:59says Jettis and Swift for Nico and Cook Jetta's to Cook lateral move I would
296:14rather have Nico over Swift. So, I hate to say this as somebody who has Justin Jefferson himself, but yeah,
296:27I would prefer Nico Collins and James Cook here. Now,
296:37Mason says two neighbors or DK. I'm going to go ahead and go with Bashel Tutin. Eight and a half point favorite.
296:44So, I think this team can run the ball a bunch.
296:50Dylan says, "Yo, Mason, you got Sunday Ticket, right? JK 11 man." Yes, sir. We have Sunday Ticket. We are about to fire
296:55it up right now. And let's try to run through some more of these. Derek, please play Kyler Murray over Bo Knicks.
297:03NJ Tate or Gainwell, please play Tate.
297:05Oh, no. You have Addison here as well.
297:07Play Addison. Um, Dion says, "Should we start the Jags or Eagles defense? Please play the Jags." Um, Cat says, "Can we
297:13talk Keenan Allen for a minute?" Do not start Keenan Allen. No reason for you to do that. Um, let's see. Dylan says,
297:20"Mason, should I keep Neighbors in the lineup or start Michael Wilson or Cardinal Tate?" Keep Neighbors in and then pick up Malachi Fields in case you
297:26need a pivot. Dreed says, "Rome, Burden, Downs, or Washington?" We need to start two of these guys. I would go with the
297:34combo of Burden and Rome. Um, Gabe says, "After a wide receiver in a flex, full PBR, Totin Digs, Marv, Coker,
297:44I'd go to and Marv." Um, yes, T-minus two minutes. Let me just double check real quick to make sure I'm not missing
297:51any questions on the site. That'd be very bad if we did. Shagon on top, quarterback play, Jaden Daniels, even though I don't like it in the flex. I'm
298:01Pard's the floor play. Addison's the ceiling play. White Mamba here for wide receiver play um probably Luther Burden over Christian Watson is close but I'd
298:11play Christian Watson in the flex I'd probably end up getting both of those guys in.
298:17Somebody says neighbors labeled out. Let me just triple check to make sure that we have if they waited this entire time
298:25to tell us something about Malik Neighbors I will lose my mind but I doubt that's true. I'm sure that's a troll.
298:32Glazer says Giants quote unquote think Neighbors will play week one but will be game time decision. So we still don't have the clarity with Malik Neighbors. I
298:41do not see anything saying that he'll be out. If anything I see that they're leaning towards having him in.
298:50Now Nate says, "Should I start Watson or Swift? I already started AJ Brown so I'm kind of fried. Thanks so much brother.
298:55Appreciate you my guy." Um I would go with DeAndre Swift. I don't necessarily think that they get um Kyle Manungai a
299:02really large role in this offense with how much time he just missed. Full PBR Carell Tate or Kenneth Gainwell. Thanks Mason. I'm going to go ahead. I'm going
299:10to take Carnelte here to be honest.
299:14Um so Nil says Michael Mayer or Daltton Schultz. I will go Michael Mayer over Daltton Schultz.
299:26And yes, we are freaking here. Let's go, ladies and gentlemen. It is time to freaking party. Kickoff is here.
299:385 hour live stream we just had. I'm going to be live after the games tonight on this channel going through and
