Insight pageChristian Watson
PositiveProjection15:04

Insight pageJahmyr Gibbs

The source drafts Jakobi Meyers as their wide receiver five, noting that they are now comfortable with their receiver depth.
Insight pageJalen Nailor
James Conner
NegativeRole19:54

Insight pageJeremiyah Love
NegativeInjury4:17
Jeremiah Love is dealing with a high ankle sprain, making it unlikely he plays again in the preseason.

Insight pageJohn Metchie
NegativeInjury29:51
The source highlights that John Metchie is dealing with a hamstring injury, which complicates his fantasy outlook.
Insight pageJordan Addison
PositiveValue9:16

NegativeValue46:41
The source considers drafting Justin Herbert but ultimately decides to go in a different direction during their draft.
Insight pageLadd McConkey
PositiveBreakout2:13

The source ranks Nico Collins ahead of Jeremiah Love, identifying him as a priority target in current draft rankings.
Insight pageOmarion Hampton
PositiveUsage29:40
The source identifies Marion Hampton as part of a strong running back group alongside James Cook and Trayvion Henderson.

NegativeValue48:33
The source notes that Romeo Doubs, along with Xavier Worthy and Matthew Golden, were taken off the board in the middle of the 10th round, implying they are not preferred targets at that price point.
Insight pageSam LaPorta
PositiveRole22:21
The source selected Sam LaPorta in the draft and expresses satisfaction with him as their tight end.
Insight pageSaquon Barkley
NegativeValue2:10
The source notes that Saquon Barkley is currently one of the top two names in Sleeper ADP and identifies him as the primary starter for whom Tank Bigsby serves as a handcuff.
Insight pageTank Bigsby
NegativeValue36:38
The source initially selected Tank Bigsby as a handcuff to Saquon Barkley, but later expressed regret, suggesting they should have prioritized Brandon Aubrey instead to secure a kicker in a subsequent round.
Insight pageTank Dell
NegativeValue39:45
Tank Dell is rostered in 7% of Yahoo leagues and was not selected in the source's league draft.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
PositiveValue14:21
Despite moving Trevion Henderson down in personal rankings, the source identifies him as the highest-ranked available running back or receiver and considers his current draft position at 5.11 to be a strong value. He is also considered a key component of the source's running back group alongside James Cook and Marvin Hampton.
Insight pagePositiveRole40:30
The source feels good about their running back situation, highlighting TreVeyon Henderson as a primary component of that group alongside James Cook and Marvin Hampton.
Insight pageTyler Allgeier
PositiveRole10:22
The source is moving Tyler Allgeier up five spots in their rankings to RB43 because he has a clearer path to starting games than other handcuff running backs while Jeremiah Love deals with a high ankle sprain. Previously, the source noted he did not generate the same excitement as Love.
Insight pageXavier Worthy
NegativeValue48:33
The source notes that Xavier Worthy, along with Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden, were taken off the board in the middle of the 10th round, implying they are not preferred targets at that price point.
Insight pageZay Flowers
PositiveValue8:07
The source ranks Zay Flowers as their highest available player and selects him at the 3.11, noting that while he could potentially be drafted in the fourth round, the team at the 12th spot might be using the same draft sheets. He is also considered a key member of the source's wide receiver room.

Episode Transcript
0:00Let's freaking go. We are pick 11 in this draft, right? Pick 11, pretty good pick to have. Honestly, the later we go
0:06in the off-season, the more I am liking these later picks in comparison to like in basketball drafts, I really like picks three, four, and five. But,
0:15honestly, in a lot of these redraft leagues, if you are drafting with people that know what they are doing, I think
0:20three, four, and five have become a lot harder just cuz you're not getting running backs in that range. So, I like
0:25my teams if I'm at 11, if I'm at 12, my preference kind of is to go running back, running back here, and then to
0:33just spam wide receivers in the middle rounds to go with a double anchor running back approach. I know that was our number one draft strategy that we
0:40had in the draft strategy and tiers video coming into this off-season, and I think here pick 11 and pick 12 gives you
0:47a good chance to do just that. Now, this is a $200 fantasy football league, right? First place is going to get 200
0:55bucks. Now, the buy-in to this league was $0 for the 11 people that joined with me.
1:01For me, I put $200 into the pot, but whoever wins the league wins $200.
1:06Second place team gets $0. How I filled this is I set up the live stream on YouTube, and then before we hit start streaming,
1:16I just went ahead, sent the link in the live chat for anybody to join that was waiting for that live stream to go. So,
1:23I appreciate y'all. Typically, I won't send the link until we're actually live cuz I do a mock draft and then the real
1:29money draft, but it's about to be 1:00 a.m. Central, 2:00 a.m. Eastern right now. So, we ran out of time to do that.
1:36I just sent the link right in the YouTube live chat before we started.
1:39But, using my rankings with the draft sheet, you can see this is what I have behind me here. I just kind of hide it
1:45cuz I don't want the people that I'm drafting against to be able to use it against me. I have two running backs
1:50that are at the top. One is more likely to come back than the other. So, we're going to take James Cook here at pick
1:5811. And the guy that I would like, I think there's a good chance that we get him at the 202.
2:04But again, uh never mind. Achane was the other running back that was at the top of these draft sheets for me. Now that
2:09he is gone, um I have Yeah, Achane goes. So, if you're looking at Sleeper ADP, Sleeper ADP has Barkley London as the top two
2:19names, but my draft sheets actually have Amari and Hampton at the 202. I love Amari and Hampton this year with the
2:25Chargers offense. I think he is going to be absolutely cooking.
2:29But, I do owe y'all an explanation.
2:32This is the latest live stream that we have ever kicked off.
2:37There's no way in hell I have ever started a live stream at 2:00 a.m.
2:41Eastern. You may be wondering, "Mason, uh what's the thought process here? Why are you doing this?" And obviously, y'all know with the Flock League stuff,
2:50um I've had all the creators, a bunch of fantasy football YouTubers here in Austin.
2:55We've been hosting all week.
2:57And today we did the Flock League fan meet-up. Shout out to everybody that came to the fan meet-up. Y'all are absolutely incredible. I had a ton of
3:08fun with y'all. Thank you so much for coming. I truly appreciate the fact that you took time out of your day to come
3:13see myself and everybody else. And yeah, thank you so much for that. I had a ton of fun and obviously, you know, we
3:19stayed out pretty late. Now, we didn't stay out 1:00 a.m. late, but afterwards, went back to the Airbnb with the other
3:26creators. It's the last night that I was going to get to see them in like four or five months. They're my favorite people
3:32in the world.
3:34So obviously, I wanted to hang out with them. I wanted to talk to them. I just now got home at about 1:00 a.m. And I
3:40told you I was going to be live streaming fantasy football drafts for y'all every single day until the season.
3:46So, no way in hell I was missing tonight. I had to to here with you. And yeah, here I am. It's a little bit later
3:53than normal. Tomorrow will be earlier.
3:55But yeah, tomorrow I think we're going to do a $500 league. Today was too late to do the $200 one, but
4:03tomorrow we'll do that five-hundo.
4:05Uh so just make sure you are subscribed and hit the bell next to the subscribe button as well. That way YouTube tells
4:11you whenever we go live and hopefully you are able to make it into one of these live streams and hopefully you're
4:17able to get into a draft with us. Now, Jeremiah Love goes at the 210 here and with Love, I think I have to lower him down my
4:26ranking some. Sounds like he legitimately has a high ankle sprain.
4:31I'm not sure if y'all saw this. I'm sure that you probably did, but if Love has the high ankle sprain, at the very
4:38minimum, I need to be dropping him to the bottom of the tier in which he was.
4:45So, I'm going to be moving Jeremiah Love to being an early to mid third-round pick.
4:52I think at this point for me, I would really need to have Malik Nabers and Nico Collins over him.
4:59It's already a really big risk with the bad offense. I love the talent profile, but for you to be a rookie running back
5:07in a garbage offense where you are maybe concerned about workload coming into the season, and then you also have the high ankle
5:14sprain as well, it's just freaking terrifying.
5:18Okay.
5:19Now, let's see. Everett says, "Mason, when is the draft video? I'm itching to watch." My friend, I am itching to watch
5:26the Flock League draft video as well. Um I'm sure y'all know the Flock League is my favorite league, I mean, my favorite
5:33channel on YouTube. I watch YouTube from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. I absolutely love a thousand
5:40different YouTube channels. Flock League is my absolute favorite. Yes, I am in it, so obviously, um that is making me a
5:49little biased here, but kind of regardless, I love it. So, I'm wanting the video to come out just as bad as you are.
5:59It's not going to come out till Friday for the official draft, but on the Flock League channel, we will have a video
6:05coming out tomorrow morning. So, in a couple hours, really.
6:09That is going to be showing us draft our draft slot. So, obviously, you saw saw the draft order competition. I don't
6:16want to spoil it too much. Obviously, you know the results from that. So, the winner of this competition got the first
6:21choice of draft slot in the Flock League draft. The loser got whatever was left.
6:26Um the at this point, it's obvious Jinx is the one who lost the league.
6:30Um but, the video in which we go through and we draft our draft slots comes out in the morning, and you can actually see
6:38the entire like draft room setup that we had, which I thought was pretty cool.
6:42But, the actual draft log itself's not going to be coming out until Friday.
6:47Now, um let me see if there's anything else we need to discuss. Yeah, I see a bunch of people typing the word season pass
6:54into the live chat. I have officially set up the free flockfantasy.com season pass giveaway. If you wanted to enter into that giveaway, all you got to do is
7:02drop a like on the stream, and then type the word season pass into the live chat.
7:09You do those two things, and you'll be entered in to win a free flockfantasy.com season pass. If you don't already have a free
7:15flockfantasy.com season pass, it's the easiest way you can go through and win your fantasy league. 34 bucks gets you set up with all the custom draft sheets
7:24tailored to your exact league settings.
7:26It gets you set up with the real-time draft assistants. This is what you see me using the live stream every single
7:32night on the stream, which in my opinion, does give me a pretty significant edge over the people that I'm drafting against. The weekly rest of
7:39season rankings, not only for myself, but pretty much all your favorite creators on YouTube. And if you use code flock as well, you will get free start
7:47sit trade questions that you can ask me in the live streams and I am live streaming every single night until um the football season gets here.
7:57Now, Josh Allen goes at the 309.
8:03Colson Lovin goes the 310. Dear God. Uh my highest ranked player with my draft sheets is Zay Flowers. I'm going to go
8:11ahead and take him here at the 311. If you're using these draft sheets, you can probably get Flowers in the fourth, but
8:17I'm actually a little bit afraid that that team at 12 is using the sheets himself based on his decision to take
8:23Jinty there at 12, which was pretty um a few spots ahead of where Sleeper ADP had him.
8:32Now, Tulong says it's crazy how he started watching Jinty and then started watching you guys and now you're collaborating.
8:38Oh, god damn. This seems to have the Sonic Booga as well.
8:42Um my highest rate receiver here is Ladd McConkey, the same as Sleeper ADP. My highest ranked player is Javonte Williams.
8:51Because we start running back running backs full PPR double flex format, I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to take
8:56Ladd McConkey in the fourth instead of Javonte. I'd rather take the receiver here.
9:00But yeah, I mean incredible that we have Jinty in the flock league. I can't believe it. It is um incre- it's just incredible to be
9:09honest. There's not no other thing to say about it. Um Fuji says we see Chris Olave going at the 305 in this draft
9:16after the Jordan Addison news. Maybe a flock league member got a discount on him. Did we get more Jordan Addison news
9:21today?
9:22I would be very interested in that cuz again, we had And also, if y'all don't know, Fuji was at the fan meet up. I
9:28know a lot of people got to see him. A lot of people got to hang out with them, which shoutout Fuji. Incredible. He
9:34hopefully y'all see him in a flock league video that comes out probably a week from now.
9:40But incredible bit he had. He brought a trumpet. It was awesome.
9:45But um regardless, what was I going back to discussing? I I don't remember. Oh yeah, the two things that happened today of
9:55relevance in my opinion was the Jeremiah Love news.
10:00Which the Jeremiah Love stuff freaking sucks.
10:04Like for me, I love fantasy football.
10:07It's my favorite thing in the world.
10:09What I want selfishly is I want players to perform well.
10:15I want as many exciting players in the NFL as we can possibly get.
10:22I don't know if Tyler Allgeier excites me the same way that Jeremiah Love does.
10:27So I want as many games possible started by Jeremiah Love this season. And if week one is at risk, I am worried that
10:35it lingers into the year.
10:38Okay.
10:40Bidy says, "Bro, definitely drafted Love in the flock league."
10:43I can either confirm nor deny, but I will say I do think the Jeremiah Love stuff is the most interesting.
10:51Not saying I drafted Jeremiah Love. Not saying that. Okay.
10:55Not saying that. But I did draft him in a decent amount of best ball drafts and um I want him to do well. I
11:03I want exciting young players to come in. Like I'm generally never rooting against any rookies coming into the league because I want as many exciting players as
11:13possible that I can watch on Sundays.
11:15Like I'm rooting for Jeremiah Love. I'm rooting for Cornell Tate. I I'm rooting for Fernando Mendoza.
11:22You know, I don't want to see injuries.
11:23I I don't want Jordan Tyson injured. I don't want Jordan Tyson missing this season.
11:27And let me pull up quickly Twitter and see if we had any additional Jordan Tyson stuff cuz I do want to see where he goes
11:39in this draft. Like I am surprised that we didn't get a fall with Jeremiah Love
11:49at all here with him going at the 210.
11:54We'll see where Jordan Tyson goes in this draft.
11:57>> [snorts] >> But looking at Um
12:08So that's just a quick Jordan Tyson Twitter search. It looks like there's nothing new that's come out about him.
12:19I can't see anything.
12:21It's really just the Schefter report.
12:27Okay.
12:35So after Lamar, we have Burden, Judkins, Tuten, All Off. No No big big surprise there.
12:48Okay, Ian. Yes, it is late. This is the probably I have live streamed way later than this, but I have never started a
12:57live stream this late.
12:59Sports Ball says, "How hard was it to make a kicker video today, Mason? I know it took a lot of courage, so I respect
13:04it."
13:05It was pretty difficult. I'll be honest with you all. I think I said in the video as well.
13:09I am far from the best guy on the planet at evaluating kickers for fantasy football or trying to give season-long DST rankings.
13:20So I needed to do at least a little bit of research for my own fantasy team. As obviously y'all know I drafted in the
13:27flock league this week. We have kickers, we have defenses. I needed to figure out who was worth picking up, who wasn't.
13:36And if I was going to do the research, I was like, might as well put it out there in the video. Hopefully, it helps somebody,
13:43right?
13:44Hopefully, it helps somebody.
13:47Okay.
13:50Jamo goes at the 509.
13:56Ben, it's a sneaky things going to be a sneaky playoff team in the flock league this year.
14:00Realistically, I think the sneaky playoff team's going to be Jynxy.
14:06Cuz at least every comment that I see are people saying like guessing that he's going to have a very bad team, blah
14:12blah blah.
14:13And honestly, his team uh it's definitely not the best team in the league, don't get me wrong.
14:18But it's not bad at all.
14:21So, out of the running backs and receivers that are available right now, Trevion is my highest ranked guy.
14:26definitely has been falling down boards.
14:28And at the same time, I moved Trevion Henderson down my own rankings.
14:32But like 511's probably a little bit too good to pass up on when it comes to value.
14:45DJ Moore goes at the 512. I know who I want here at the 600. Carnell Tate goes.
14:50I really like this team at 12. The team drafting at 12's freaking crushing.
14:56My highest ranked player in the draft sheets now is Jordan Tyson.
15:00But I'm sorry, not Jordan Tyson, Jahmyr Gibbs. I apologize.
15:04But I'm actually going to go wide receiver, and my highest ranked receiver is Christian Watson. Cuz if we look at where we stand with the running back
15:13first wide receiver value on our team so far according to the draft assistant, um when we're sitting with James Cook, Martin Hampton, and Trevion Henderson,
15:21and we only had Flowers Ladd at receiver. We just simply have way more running back points than we do wide receiver points. So, it'd be nice to
15:27balance it out a bit.
15:31Okay.
15:34Jaybird says, "Yo Mason, Jinx he said he got a steal steal in the second round, did he?" Okay, Jaybird.
15:41Let me give you a shout-out, my guy, because this may be the best profile pic I have ever seen.
15:49Take a peek at this profile pic.
15:54A freaking unit on this man.
15:58Absolutely love it. That is incredible.
16:01Now, did Jinx he get a steal in the second round?
16:06I wouldn't say it was a steal. It was a value, okay?
16:10I'll put it this way.
16:12The guy Jinx he drafted in the second round went much earlier in this draft than he went in ours.
16:24So, it was a value, for sure.
16:28But, >> [sighs] >> I don't know if I want to go through and I want to say it was a steal. Steal
16:37seems like it's too aggressive.
16:39Cuz a lot of times they'll fall that far, not every time. Like in this one, he went way earlier.
16:46But, it was fine.
16:51Okay.
16:52Yes, Danny Ladd at the diner is exactly what peak male performance looks like. I agree.
17:01Lucas, rewind to the beginning of the stream and I talk about the link.
17:06Van Gogh says, "Can we use the Flock Fantasy Assistant to help us when we draft other sites like ESPN?" Yes, the
17:12flockfantasy.com draft assistant that you get with the season pass works on ESPN, it works on Yahoo, and it works on Sleeper. Those
17:22are the three that it works. And I know we've been referencing the Jeremiah Love stuff a bunch, but I'll just show you
17:27all the official Schefty tweet in case you didn't see it. Um Cardinals running back Jeremiah Love is dealing with a high ankle sprain per sources and makes
17:35it unlikely that Love plays again this preseason with a team hoping he can return for September 13th regular season opener versus the Chargers.
17:46Why did y'all use him so much in the preseason?
17:51Why?
17:52Why was it necessary?
17:56Like this man already a top-10 running back in the NFL when it comes to talent.
18:01He really needs the preseason reps that much?
18:04Really?
18:08Okay.
18:13Grand Lake says, "Does the Flock Fantasy Draft extension work with other draft assistant tools like FP and whatnot, or do they glitch each other out?"
18:22I have no idea.
18:24Like if you're trying to do a mock draft on like FantasyPros, you're trying to use the flockfantasy.com draft assistant, I'll be honest with you, chief, I haven't
18:34tried.
18:36Spencer says, "Which Cardinals running back would this move up just in case it turns out to ling um linger longer for Love?" Actually,
18:46that's a good question cuz I have to move Jeremiah Love up my rankings. Let me do I'm sorry, not Jeremiah Love. I need to
18:52move up Allgeier.
18:55And I freaking I'm not Spoiler alert, I did not draft Tyler Allgeier in the Flock league.
19:01And I came close to it. I grabbed a sticker, stared at it intently, ended up not going with it.
19:11But I'm going to move Allgeier up like five running back slots in my rankings.
19:15I'm going to move him up to RB 43.
19:17He is still He's in a tier with only handcuff running backs, but if it looks like in his backfields, the handcuff I'm sorry, the starter in
19:28front of him is dealing with the high ankle sprain, obviously, he has a clearer path to starting games than pretty much any of
19:34the other handcuff backs.
19:36So, yeah, we'll move Allgeier up to running back 43. He would very clearly be the guy that benefits the most
19:45if we were to get something that lingered into the actual regular season for Jeremiah Love.
19:54Like no other Arizona running back like James Conner wouldn't be interesting.
19:59If anything, like with James Conner, you would want Jeremiah Love to be a healthy.
20:06That way they trade James Conner to another team that needs a running back.
20:11Like if you draft James Conner, you're not wanting like Jeremiah Love to go down that way James Conner can be the running back two in
20:19Arizona instead of the running back three.
20:22Cuz I mean, ultimately, if you were to say get a pretty serious injury to Jeremiah Love, then any hope that you would have that
20:31they would go through and they would trade away James Conner, that hope would be gone.
20:38Okay.
20:39Metcalf goes to the 707. We have a pretty well-balanced team, right?
20:44Jordan Tyson is a falling.
20:49No surprise to anybody, Tyson with the hamstring stuff does fall in this draft.
20:54Um he ends up falling to the 708.
21:00Tyson previously, pretty much all off season, was going at the beginning of the sixth round.
21:07So, I want to ask y'all yay or nay, buy or sell, spam the chat with one of those words.
21:18Buy or sell Jordan Tyson at the 708.
21:24He goes right after DK Metcalf in this.
21:28Yay or nay, buy or sell Jordan Tyson at the 708.
21:34We have buy, buy, buy.
21:39Sell, buy, sell, sell, buy, buy, buy.
21:42Sell, buy.
21:45Jens wants the college football mock.
21:47I'm sad I'm sorry, my friend. You know I'm not even able to do that for you.
21:51You know I'll be an idiot. Yahoo does have college fantasy football for anybody interested, though.
21:57Jan, let me know, are you doing the Yahoo college fantasy stuff this year?
22:01Got sell, sell, sell, sell, buy, buy, sell.
22:05Sell, sell, sell, sell.
22:08Sell, sell, sell, sell, sell. So, it looks like most people are selling Jordan Tyson in the seventh round.
22:18Courtland Sutton goes 801.
22:21We took LaPorta. Again, I thought we had the flexibility when we started with those running backs and receivers.
22:27Now my highest ranked player is Jordan Addison, and honestly, let's run it. I like Addison.
22:36I know we're reaching a considerable amount according to Sleeper ADP, but I think Sleeper ADP is wrong here. I think this is where Jordan Addison should go.
22:43Spencer says, "I'm trying one team on Yahoo for college fantasy." Yeah, let me know if anybody else is doing college fantasy here.
22:51AJ says, "Who is your first pick in the flock league?" Here's the deal, I can't give away any hints right now
22:58cuz um the draft order video hasn't even come out.
23:05Where we where you even know the draft pick that I have.
23:10Maybe if you come to the live stream tomorrow, I can give out some hints of who my first and second round picks
23:16were.
23:18But that will be after the draft order videos come out. I think the draft order video is supposed to come out in the
23:24morning. So I'll probably be out in like 8 9 hours.
23:31And I think that draft order video will be very interesting because you can very clearly see how like the fantasy experts
23:42value each pick. Like what the best picks are in the draft, what's the worst picks in the draft, etc. etc.
23:51Okay.
23:55Now after we take Addison, we have Kittle, Harvey, Daddle, Korum off the board.
24:02I like our team. Again, I think if you're at 11 or 12, it's just a very easy draft for you.
24:10Like it kind of falls into your lap unless you do something stupid.
24:15Like you should pretty much be comfortable the entire time.
24:20Like how I would look at this, again, wide receiver, we have Flowers, Ladd, Watson, Addison. I feel good about that wide receiver room.
24:30Running back, we're sitting with James Cook, Marvin Hampton, Trevion Henderson.
24:33I feel good about running back.
24:35We have LaPorta at tight ends.
24:37This year, especially in a six-point passing touchdown format, you never really need to worry about QBs.
24:44So I feel good about this. I'm not stressing at all about this team.
24:50Now I'm I will keep it a buck with you. I'll be 100% honest here. Let's keep this between you and me, okay?
24:58I am nervous about my Flock league team.
25:02I think no matter what team I would have drafted, I would have been nervous just because it's the biggest deal in the world to
25:10me, right?
25:12For me personally, there's nothing bigger in the world than if my Flock league team ends up being good or bad. It's
25:21makes or break my makes or breaks my entire year.
25:25So, even if I drafted a god squad, even if I got the 101 and I started with like Gibbs, Bowers, Derrick Henry,
25:35I would still be nervous as hell.
25:39So, I like my team, but just because I like my team, it doesn't mean that I'm not nervous.
25:48Like I am pretty damn nervous about it.
25:53And like I have every draft I do now at this point, I'm thinking through Oh crap, this is where I took him in the
26:02Flock league. Where does he go in this one, right?
26:05Did I reach?
26:06Was it a good pick? Was it a bad pick?
26:10And it is nerve-racking.
26:13But I'll say with this like if I run pick by pick, round one, I got a value. Round two, I'm not going to say how much of a pick.
26:26Round one, it was about a neutral pick.
26:27Round two, neutral pick. Round three, the guy I drafted, I got a value. Round four, the guy I drafted, I got a value.
26:35Round five, neutral pick.
26:39Round six, slight value.
26:44Round seven, compared to this draft, massive value.
26:48Round eight, compared to this draft, big value.
26:54And then round nine I don't even know who was my round nine pick.
27:00Let me pull this up.
27:04I'm sorry. It's past 1:00 a.m.
27:08Man on guy off the board.
27:13Who's my round nine pick? I know what position it was.
27:17Oh, okay. That's why I didn't forget. I actually got the position wrong. Round nine massive value according to this draft.
27:24Round 10, I probably end up I ended up reaching.
27:30Unless if he goes here, we'll see.
27:35So, I think I got some pretty good values.
27:38I don't think I really reached dramatically on any pick.
27:47Doomsday says, "Do you still like the 103 over the 110?" I don't think I'd still do, to be honest.
27:53I hate to say and I hate to say that I changed my mind through the course of the off season.
27:58I think it is natural to do that. I'm going to take Dak Prescott here 6.
28:01Actually, no. F it. There's Herbert still available. I'm not doing that.
28:04Um in that case, I'm going to go receiver. My highest ranked receiver is way down the list. So, F it. We'll
28:12take Myers.
28:13Um JT, I hope you are doing well, my guy.
28:22Um JT was at the meet up and yes, this is a super late stream cuz obviously the fan meet up um was popping.
28:30So, I am going to go with a quarterback now. I'm going to go ahead and take Dak Prescott with this being a six-point
28:34passing touchdown league.
28:37A four-point passing touchdown format, I like Dak less than I do in a six-point.
28:42Um but I I what I was going to say.
28:49God, I'm freaking excited.
28:57I'm looking at pictures from the draft.
29:11Okay.
29:13After we take Doubs, Worthy he goes.
29:17The true king says any trade talks yet?
29:21If anybody was at the meet up, keep your lips sealed, please.
29:26If you were at the I don't want to say anything. If you were at the meet up, keep your lips sealed.
29:32Romeo Doubs, Xavier Worthy, Matthew Golden all get ripped in the middle of the 10th. When we take Myers, there's our wide receiver five. I'm chilling at
29:40receiver.
29:41Like I'll look at what the draft assistant says.
29:46Yeah, draft assistant saying we're set at tight end, set at receiver. I mean, we can go back and we can start taking
29:51some more running backs.
29:54Like we went heavy on running back early. We got some damn good RBs with James Cook, Marion Hampton, Trayvion Henderson RB3, but our depth beyond that
30:02is literally non-existent.
30:07Okay.
30:09Now, one other question I want to ask y'all cuz obviously Metchie has his own injury stuff. Metchie has his own hamstring problem.
30:20Can y'all spam the chat? Who would you rather have in fantasy this year?
30:25Would you rather have Metchie or Lemon or would you rather have Jordan Tyson?
30:30The two rookie wide receivers currently with injury problems.
30:39Which guys would you rather have?
30:42Lemon or Tyson?
30:47Lemon, Tyson, Tyson, Lemon, Lemon, Tyson.
30:51Lemon, Lemon, Lemon, Tyson.
30:56Tyson, Tyson.
31:02Lemon, Lemon, Lemon lower ADP. Let me be very clear here and I'll re-ask the question.
31:08And True King says, "What's the price?"
31:10The same exact price.
31:13You're on the clock.
31:15It's the middle of the seventh round.
31:18For whatever reason, you've been told, "Hey, you don't have a choice.
31:22You have to draft an injured rookie wide receiver."
31:26In that instance, would you rather draft Jordan Tyson or would you rather draft Michael Lemon? Ignore the cost.
31:32They cost the same.
31:36Lemon, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson.
31:41Lemon, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson, Tyson, Lemon, Tyson, Tyson.
31:45Okay, so y'all are saying y'all prefer Tyson, Tyson, Lemon, Tyson, Tyson, Lemon, Tyson, Tyson. So, y'all are saying y'all prefer Lemon
31:55at a discount, but if they're the same cost, you would rather have Tyson.
32:08Yeah, and Vinnie says they're right next to each other in this draft. Yeah, this draft they go 708, 709. This is why I
32:13think it's a super interesting conversation.
32:16And I really like both of these guys in Best Ball drafts earlier in the off-season. So, again, and going back to
32:21the Jeremiah Love stuff, I just freaking hate seeing injuries to guys that I'm excited about coming into the league. I don't
32:30want it to happen.
32:35So, I'm hoping both players turn out to be fine.
32:39I'm hoping that the hamstring on both guys A-OK.
32:44And we are a ways away from the season, right? Like it's August 17th.
32:51So, if it's August 17th, when does the season officially start?
32:55Like when's the first game for the New Orleans Saints?
33:03First game for the New Orleans Saints is September 13th. So, we're like a month away from the season starting for them.
33:17Now, secure off at the 11:07.
33:23Hunter goes 11:08.
33:29X is well. Mason still streaming, so I finally see him live. Greetings from Germany. Greetings from Germany, my friend. Greetings from Austin, sending
33:36them to Germany.
33:38Which it is incredible. Let me say this as a side note. This has nothing to do with fantasy football.
33:43And y'all may say, "Mason, shut up and get to drafting and you're annoying."
33:47But is it not incredible that the timeline we currently live in is one in which God damn, these picks are ugly.
34:01God damn, I'm going to take Amari Cooper and y'all can make fun of me.
34:05But the timeline we live in is one in which I can go live and talk to people
34:14all over the world at the same time.
34:19You know, like we're the first humans that have ever been able to do that. I can say something right now and somebody
34:24in Germany hears me say it 3 seconds later. Like, I think that's what the lag on the stream is. It's like
34:323 seconds.
34:34Okay, we're on the clock. The guy that I have ranked highest, y'all are actually probably going to be surprised by. It's
34:39Saquon's handcuff. We're going to go take Bigsby.
34:43Maybe you could have talked me into an Aubrey pick. Actually, Aubrey probably is the right pick.
34:51Okay.
34:53PDC says, "Yeah, I'm watching from the UK now. Loving this streaming time."
34:57Well, I'm going to be honest with you.
34:59Don't expect this to be the normal start time. So, when I do the live Q&A live streams during the season, like you know
35:04I do the streams every night during the year, where I grade your fantasy football team, try to come up with trades, I answer your trade questions, I
35:10answer your start sit questions.
35:12A lot of those live streams last this long. Like, I'll still be live at like 1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m.
35:19But, I'm starting them at like 9:00 p.m.
35:23This draft stream is very rare for me to be live at this time because um typically, I want to start way, way
35:32earlier.
35:34>> [snorts] >> Okay.
35:38Hornet says, "Hey Mason, who is the last person you loved?"
35:44Um I could take that a bunch of different ways, but I gave Mrs. Flock a nice little smooch good night right before I went live
35:53here. And Mrs. Flock did come out to the fan meet up. She had a ton of fun.
35:59Mainly, she was talking to the girlfriends of the other guys that came to the fan meet up.
36:05It was surprising. Every time somebody walked in, a couple walked in, I would go over and I would assume the girl was there to
36:15see me, right? She'd be a massive fan.
36:18And surprisingly, it was always the guy that watches the YouTube videos, and the girl tagged along as the couple.
36:27Shocked me.
36:29Again, I thought that I we would have a lot of ladies coming dragging their boyfriends to the event, but it was the exact
36:38opposite. But regardless, Mrs. Flock was happy to hang out with all the girlfriends, wives, fiancées,
36:48etc., etc.
36:52Okay.
36:56Now, after we take Bixby, Aubrey does go at the 12:06. Again, I think probably I should have
37:10taken Aubrey instead of Bixby, cuz I'll be able to get a handcuff running back in the next round, right?
37:17Okay.
37:21Goddert goes at the 12:12.
37:32Nailor goes at the 12:11.
37:43Rams defense Rams defense I don't I again, I don't want to give too many spoilers.
37:48I think the Rams defense went in this round in our draft. I think the Rams DST went round 13.
37:52Let me see in our draft how many people have even drafted kickers and defenses or how many are out there on the waiver
38:00wire?
38:04Cuz I think there are a decent amount on waivers right now.
38:11Okay, let me go to players.
38:15The I don't I can't give out too many spoilers. I'm not going to give the best running backs, wide receivers, tight ends on waivers.
38:28We're not doing that. I just pulled up Yahoo and I sorted by highest roster percentage on wide receivers and Ricky Pearsall is
38:36currently rostered in 35% of Yahoo leagues. Hilarious.
38:44God dang.
38:47You know who's available in I mean, who's rostered in 85% of leagues that is on the waiver wire in the flock league
38:56is Jake Ferguson.
38:59Wild.
39:01Tight ends.
39:04I mean, kicker, there are some damn good kickers out there on waivers.
39:10And so are there our defenses.
39:14Damn, I actually may need to be I may pick up a kicker and a defense now and drop just like the random bum
39:22running backs I have at the end cuz I would consider them like probably S-tier kickers or at least A-tier kickers.
39:30Cameron Dicker off the board at the 309, but in our league most people prefer taking running backs with their last few
39:35picks just in case we get an injury to a guy in front of him.
39:45Hey, Telepathy says, "Did anyone take Tank Dell?"
39:50I'll pull up.
39:51Again, I I'm sorry if any of the other creators are watching this. I'm I don't think this is that big of a spoiler.
39:58Tank Dell looks like he is rostered in 7% of Yahoo leagues and um he did not get picked in the flock
40:05league.
40:06I mean, honestly, I am liking the Yahoo UI.
40:11Seems pretty clean to play on Yahoo.
40:14Okay, so going through our options here are we could go through and we could take another handcuff back. Wide receiver seems pretty thin.
40:22Y'all probably hate this. I'm going to go with the second quarterback with Brock Purdy. 6. passing touchdown format, I would like the ability to play
40:29the matchups between Dak and Purdy.
40:35The true king says, "What if you leaked the first round of the draft on Wednesday in a YouTube short?" I don't think I can do so.
40:48Paola says, "I just know Jynxzi got Jenty."
40:52I'm not going to confirm nor deny anything here.
40:55I'm going to go with the pretty high up ranked kicker. We're going to go with Jason Myers at the 1402.
41:02Petch says, "I've tried every fantasy app. Yahoo is my favorite. It's so clean and easy to use."
41:08I will say I think every fantasy app has their positives and negatives.
41:15Like as an example, we're drafting on Sleeper because I think Sleeper is a pretty good-looking draft board.
41:22But when it comes to daily management during the season, I do think my favorite app is Yahoo.
41:33I think it is.
41:37Spam the chat right now. What do you think the best draft platform to play on is? And as you do that, um also, I actually need to
41:46spin the wheel to give away a free flockfantasy.com season pass. Again, this is your last chance to enter in to win a free season pass. If you want to
41:54be in the entries, drop a like and type the word season pass into the live chat.
42:02Okay, we have Sleeper, ESPN, Sleeper, ESPN, ESPN, Sleeper, ESPN, Sleeper, Yahoo.
42:16So, we don't see many people.
42:2033 says Yahoo hands down the players tab is goated.
42:25Yeah, I mean, that's what I am on right now.
42:29And UI-wise, cuz obviously um I run I work with the developer team on flockfantasy.com, right?
42:37Um and I have for the past few years, so like I'm used to like criticizing UI and app design.
42:48By the way, we are about to have the flockfantasy.com app officially live.
42:53Um so, if you got the season pass, hopefully it's easier to use than mobile.
42:59But, using this Yahoo app right now, the UI is pretty damn clean.
43:08Like, I think it looks good.
43:12Talo Loop goes to the 1412.
43:20Bonex 1501.
43:25Okay. Um let me go through and let's give away this free season pass.
43:35All right. What am I supposed to do here? Oh, yeah, I need to copy this list and I need to paste it in.
43:41Tonum says, "When can we make leagues on the flock website?"
43:45So, here's the god honest truth about this, about making leagues on flockfantasy.com.
43:54Let me spin this wheel. Let's see who wins the season pass. I think this is an interesting conversation to have.
44:00Because, obviously we have developers, we know a ton of fantasy creators.
44:07That one guy 1022. That one guy 1022, you win the free flockfantasy.com season pass. Um, let me know your flockfantasy.com username is in the live
44:15chat and we'll hook you up.
44:17But, here's the thing with um creating like
44:32say the next like platform that people can play their fantasy leagues on.
44:40I don't have any ideas of how we can go through and make like any of the current I don't know how we
44:47can make an app that's like 10x better than the next redraft app.
44:52Like when we made flockfantasy.com and invited all the other fantasy creators on it, I'm like, "Hey, this doesn't exist. There's not a site out there
45:01that's a bunch of different fantasy football YouTubers, podcasters, whatever in one central place and you get like the season pass and you get access to it
45:10all, right? You get access to these people, these people, these people, these people." So, it's like if I hire a dev team and we can create fantasy tools
45:17and then it also have all those creators, I think that's like 10 times a better product and a better experience than what
45:27currently exist.
45:31But, um I don't know if like I don't have an idea of like how we can make this 10
45:42times better.
45:44Like I've thought through it and I'm not saying just cuz I can't think of ideas right now to make it 10 times
45:51better, doesn't mean I won't change my mind in the future.
45:55But, as of now, I I don't have anything.
46:01Fuji says, "Much love, Mason. Can't emphasize enough how much fun this afternoon was. Thank you so much for hanging out, my friend." And yeah, I
46:08mean, I had a ton of fun meeting you, as well. I mean, obviously, you know, I appreciate you.
46:13And I'm excited to see you at the next meet up, as well, too, my friend.
46:19Um but Will B says, "If there's an app with the tech to be able to sub in players during
46:30games that go down due to injury, like mid-game subbing would be an attractive feature."
46:37Not a bad idea. Not a bad idea.
46:39Brendan says, "Just got the season pass, Mason. Thanks for all you do." Thank you so much, my guy. That That supports us so much. Like, thank
46:45you.
46:47Now Let me see. Who won the season pass again? We're looking for that one guy's name.
46:55Sorry. I'm looking for that one guy's name. God dang, I'm tired. It's 1:30 in the morning.
47:07Everybody flies out tomorrow, though, so I'll be able to start sleeping soon.
47:11Yeah, that one guy looks like he left the stream early, so we're not giving away that free season pass tonight. It
47:15is what it is. We'll try to give away one tomorrow.
47:18But I appreciate you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for hanging out with us in this live stream.
47:23Um yeah, I appreciate everybody who came out to the Flock League meet up. It was a ton of fun hanging out with all of
47:29y'all. It was a ton of fun meeting all of y'all.
47:31Um thank you so much for that.
47:33And yeah, I will see you out with the live stream tomorrow night. Hopefully, much, much earlier than this one was.
