A.J. Brown

PositiveInjury5:10

Confirmed to have high ankle sprain; severity and return timeline unknown. Source aggressively downgraded him in rest-of-season rankings, placing him at low-end WR2 to high-end WR3 range. Source states he would not trade Jameson Williams for AJ Brown at current valuations. If redrafting today, source would target AJ Brown in the fifth or sixth round, but he will gain value each week closer to return.

Insight page

Alec Pierce

NegativeDepth Chart19:12

Pierce is on the bench as depth at wide receiver on Flock Fantasy's dynasty roster; the source considers him potentially expendable depth but would not trade him away due to lack of 2027 and 2028 first-round picks to backfill in case of injury.

Insight page

Amon-Ra St. Brown

PositiveRole18:36

JSN is featured as a starting wide receiver on Flock Fantasy's week one lineup in a dynasty team described as having the most valuable roster in the league; also positioned as a core starter on the source's number one contending team in a start-nine shallow format league alongside Bejon Gibbs, Lamb, and Pickens.

Insight page

Blake Corum

NegativeValue36:26

In a 14-team keeper league, Corum is viewed as expendable depth; the source suggests trading away a 2027 first-round pick and Corum to upgrade the flex position if the team proves to be a contender by week 6-7.

Insight page

Breece Hall

NegativeValue26:22

Running back identified as downtiering candidate in dynasty rebuild strategy; Flock Fantasy suggests trading Hall to acquire younger rookie running backs like Jadarian Price, or packaging Hall with additional pieces to acquire Jeremiah Love.

Insight page

Brian Thomas Jr.

PositiveProjection36:26

Brian Thomas Jr. is identified as a potential bounce-back candidate by week 6-7; if he recovers from injury or underperformance, the team owner could shift from rebuild mode to contention, making him a key player to monitor early in the season for determining the team's trajectory. He is also part of a strong wide receiver core in a 14-team half-PPR auction format alongside Puka Nacua, DeVonta Smith, and Godwin.

Insight page

Bryce Young

PositiveRole21:01

Bryce Young (listed as Parker in the starting lineup) is part of the source's number one contending team in a start-nine shallow format league, positioned as a core starter.

Insight page

Caleb Williams

NegativeRole28:54

Caleb Williams is the starting quarterback in a superflex dynasty league with a 16-team format, anchoring a roster that the source evaluates as having strong skill position depth but weak running back options.

Insight page

Cam Ward

NegativeValue14:42

Flock Fantasy suggests moving Cam Ward in a trade to upgrade the quarterback two slot, implying Ward is expendable or not the long-term solution at the position; Jadarian Price may be the winning side of such a deal. However, the source also expresses love for the long-term value of Cam Ward as depth on a phenomenal team with strong contending and long-term assets in a superflex dynasty league.

Insight page

CeeDee Lamb

PositiveRole21:01

CeeDee Lamb is a core starter on the source's number one contending team in a start-nine shallow format league, positioned alongside Bejon Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and George Pickens.

Insight page

Chase Brown

PositiveValue15:34

Chase Brown was traded away (along with Ibuka) for Jefferson and a 2027 first-round pick in a 16-team dynasty league, described by Flock Fantasy as an 'incredible deal,' indicating Brown was undervalued relative to the return.

Insight page

Chris Godwin

PositiveRole46:48

Flock Fantasy identifies Chris Godwin as a strong wide receiver in a 14-team half-PPR auction format alongside Puka Nacua, DeVonta Smith, and Brian Thomas.

Insight page

Christian McCaffrey

NegativeRole13:15

In dynasty league context, Flock Fantasy advises against trading away Christian McAffrey despite the team being down four losses, as the alternative (pivoting to rebuild) would surrender a 2027 first-round pick to an already dominant opponent. McAffrey is viewed as a cornerstone asset that cannot be moved without strategic cost.

Insight page
NegativeRole13:40

In a dynasty league context, Flock Fantasy advises against trading away CMC because the team already traded away a 2027 first-round pick to a dominant competitor; pivoting to a rebuild would only strengthen that opponent further. CMC is viewed as a cornerstone asset that cannot be moved without strategic cost.

Insight page

Christian Watson

NegativeDepth Chart19:12

Watson is on the bench as depth at wide receiver on Flock Fantasy's dynasty roster; the source considers him potentially expendable depth but would not trade him away due to lack of 2027 and 2028 first-round picks to backfill in case of injury.

Insight page

Chuba Hubbard

NegativeInjury27:59

One of the most drafted players in best ball portfolio with average pick of 80; suffered hamstring injury resulting in severe ADP collapse described as getting 'nuked.'

Insight page

Cooper Rush

NegativeRole0:57

Now likely starting QB for Atlanta Falcons following Tua Tagovailoa's back injury. His insertion as starter caused market makers to drop Atlanta's win probability from 37% to 32% and lowered the implied team total to 19.5 points, signaling significant downside for all Falcons offensive assets.

Insight page

D'Andre Swift

NegativeValue35:27

Swift is listed as part of a keeper league roster's running back core alongside Jahmyr Gibbs in a 14-team format; the source evaluates the team as sixth-best in the league with this lineup, suggesting Swift is a solid depth piece in a deep league but not a primary anchor.

Insight page
NegativeRole38:23

Primary running back in a superflex league contender roster paired with Trevian Henderson; the source identifies running back as a pretty big need despite the team's overall strength.

Insight page

Dalton Schultz

PositiveValue31:31

Dalton Schultz was drafted with an average pick of 169 but closed with an ADP of 158, providing incredible closing round value and demonstrating successful value identification.

Insight page

DeVonta Smith

PositiveRole38:35

Starting wide receiver in a superflex league contender roster as part of a strong three-receiver combo with Malik Neighbors and Drake Glenn; the team is described as having a really strong overall roster. Also identified as a strong wide receiver in a 14-team half-PPR auction format alongside Puka Nacua, Brian Thomas, and Godwin.

Insight page

Drake London

NegativeRole1:39

Remains a must-start fantasy asset for Atlanta despite cascading QB injuries (Michael Penn unavailable with torn ACL, Tua Tagovailoa injured back in practice, Cooper Rush now likely starting). Source describes London as 'a literal beast' but emphasizes expectations must be lowered given Atlanta's deteriorating offensive situation and implied team total of 19.5 points.

Insight page

George Pickens

PositiveRole21:01

George Pickens is a core starter on the source's number one contending team in a start-nine shallow format league, positioned alongside Bejon Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and CeeDee Lamb.

Insight page

Hunter Henry

NegativeRole40:05

Tight end on a draft team in a superflex league; the source critiques the roster construction, stating that if Britain Strange and Hunter Henry are the two tight ends, a third tight end should have been drafted instead of one of the wide receivers taken.

Insight page

Jadarian Price

PositiveBreakout9:14

Flock Fantasy recommends targeting Jadarian Price in dynasty league trade, citing strong recent performance: 'especially after him looking pretty damn good yesterday.' Price is presented as a viable running back upgrade target in exchange for a two-for-one package of Devonte Adams and Bashel Tutin. Additionally, the source describes Price as looking 'really good long-term' and suggests he may be the winning side of a potential trade involving Cam Ward, indicating strong dynasty value despite short-term roster constraints.

Insight page

Jahmyr Gibbs

PositiveValue34:46

In a 14-team keeper league, Gibbs is a cornerstone asset worth holding; the source advises against trading him away early in the season, noting that if Gibbs goes down, the team becomes a rebuild candidate, but if the team contends by week 6-7, he becomes a keeper anchor that should not be moved. The team is currently evaluated as sixth-best in the league.

Insight page

Jake Ferguson

NegativeValue23:43

Jake Ferguson fell significantly in best ball drafts from his average draft position, indicating a substantial ADP decline.

Insight page

Jakobi Meyers

NegativeInjury23:43

Jakobi Meyers fell significantly in best ball drafts due to a wrist injury; the injury directly attributed to his ADP decline.

Insight page

Jalen Hurts

NegativeValue18:12

The source traded Dak Prescott to Lawrence (Trevor Lawrence) as part of a dynasty deal, characterizing it as a slight upgrade at quarterback. The source's dynasty team features Lawrence as the starting quarterback in week one, paired with Patrick Mahomes in a Superflex league, indicating confidence in Lawrence as a primary starter.

Insight page

James Cook

PositiveRole32:42

Flock Fantasy identifies James Cook as one of three incredible running backs on a Dynasty Superflex contending roster, alongside Derrick Henry and Devon Aiyuk, positioning him as a core piece for a win-now team. The source also suggests Cook as a target RB in a proposed trade, recommending trading Trevian Henderson and a late 2027 first-round pick to acquire Cook and potentially an early second-round pick, indicating Cook is viewed as a significant upgrade at the position.

Insight page

Jameson Williams

NegativeValue5:30

The source uses Jameson Williams as a direct comparison point for AJ Brown's current rest-of-season ranking. The source owns Jameson Williams on his own fantasy team and states he would not trade Williams for AJ Brown at current valuations, indicating Williams is ranked ahead of the injured AJ Brown in the source's rest-of-season rankings.

Insight page

Jauan Jennings

NegativeValue23:43

Jawan Jennings experienced significant ADP decline in best ball portfolio; average pick of 152 but closed contest with ADP of 184, representing a 32-pick drop.

Insight page

Javonte Williams

NegativeValue44:57

Identified as a potential sell candidate if a team with a weak starting lineup in a 10-team league falls to 1-4 by week five and needs to pivot to a rebuild strategy.

Insight page

Jaxon Smith-Njigba

NegativeProjection4:00

Downgraded from elite WR1 to mid-to-low WR1 due to Sam Darnold's hip injury; Darnold expected to miss 2–3 weeks (likely weeks 2–4), forcing JSN to operate with backup Drew Lock. Source notes JSN was able to overcome poor QB play in one game but cautions against overrating Lock's single strong performance: 'I don't think Drew Lock's good all of a sudden just because he had one strong performance.'

Insight page

Jayden Higgins

NegativeValue31:47

Jaden Higgins did not provide good closing line value compared to other most-drafted players in the portfolio, indicating a miss on value capture for this selection.

Insight page

Jaylen Warren

PositiveRole46:48

Flock Fantasy identifies Jaylen Warren as part of a strong running back depth chart in a 14-team half-PPR auction format, alongside Hampton and Jordan Mason.

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

PositiveRole18:36

Love is featured as a starting flex player on Flock Fantasy's week one lineup as a rookie with tremendous upside on a team described as having the most valuable roster in the league; also targeted as an acquisition in dynasty trade scenarios, attainable by trading Breece Hall plus additional pieces from contending teams in rebuild mindset.

Insight page

Jonathon Brooks

NegativeRole29:10

Jonathan Brooks is listed as a running back option in a 16-team superflex dynasty league roster that the source describes as having weak running back depth overall.

Insight page

Jordan Addison

PositiveValue26:00

Young wide receiver targeted as acquisition in dynasty trade scenarios; Flock Fantasy identifies him as a desirable young asset to acquire from contending teams when downtiering from elite quarterbacks like Josh Allen. Also listed as part of a keeper league roster's wide receiver core in a 14-team format, suggesting acceptable value in deeper leagues.

Insight page

Jordan Mason

PositiveRole46:48

Flock Fantasy identifies Jordan Mason as part of a strong running back depth chart in a 14-team half-PPR auction format, alongside Hampton and Jaylen Warren.

Insight page

Jordyn Tyson

PositiveValue42:02

Identified as a long-term value asset in the running back room; the source expresses confidence in Tyson's future upside.

Insight page

Josh Allen

NegativeValue25:25

Elite quarterback targeted for downtiering in dynasty trade strategy; Flock Fantasy suggests trading down from Allen to Joe Burrow to acquire additional assets like late first-round picks and young players like Jadarian Price or Jordan Addison.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

NegativeInjury2:24

Pled no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property; NFL has no timetable for discipline but remains under personal conduct policy review on commissioner's exempt list. Source expects small suspension rather than season-ending ban, with probability of Jacobs returning this season deemed relatively high due to expedited legal process. Additionally, Jacobs was one of the most drafted players in best ball portfolio with average pick of 41, but closed the contest with an ADP of 77, representing a 36-pick drop and significant closing line value loss.

Insight page

Justin Jefferson

NegativeValue44:57

Identified as a potential sell candidate if a team with a weak starting lineup in a 10-team league falls to 1-4 by week five and needs to pivot to a rebuild strategy.

Insight page

Juwan Johnson

PositiveRole47:27

Flock Fantasy identifies Jawan Johnson as the primary tight end to play early in the season before Jordan Tyson returns, making him more appealing than Michael Mayer in the short term.

Insight page

Kyren Williams

NegativeRole14:10

Listed as one of four startable running backs on Stone the Cold's Dynasty roster, providing long-term depth at the position.

Insight page

Malik Willis

NegativeRole40:16

QB on a draft team in a superflex league; the source critiques the roster construction, stating that if Malik Willis and Dart are the two QBs, a third QB should have been drafted instead of one of the wide receivers taken.

Insight page

Michael Mayer

NegativeRole47:27

Flock Fantasy suggests Michael Mayer is an intriguing pickup for teams that lost Brock Bowers, but notes that once Jordan Tyson returns and Jawan Johnson becomes less appealing, Mayer becomes a waiver-wire name with diminished appeal.

Insight page

Michael Pittman

PositiveRole41:38

Depth WR on a first-year dynasty league team described as the best team in the league; part of a phenomenal roster with strong contending value and long-term depth.

Insight page

Mike Evans

PositiveRole37:47

Wide receiver depth on a contender team in superflex league, providing additional receiving depth alongside Stefon Diggs; the team has strong overall receiver depth despite running back being a noted need.

Insight page

Mike Washington Jr.

PositiveValue10:50

In best-ball format, Mike Washington represents 'incredible incredible value' as the most drafted player at an average pick of 170; his ADP rose significantly due to a Gentry injury creating handcuff opportunity.

Insight page

Puka Nacua

NegativeInjury45:49

Flock Fantasy notes that Puka Nacua's risk profile has improved significantly; suspension risk is now essentially gone and injury risk has diminished, making the source more confident in Nacua now than previously.

Insight page

Quentin Johnston

PositiveValue30:10

One of the most drafted players who delivered great closing line value, indicating successful value identification; was traded away (along with Tyson Etienne, Dak Prescott, and two first-round picks) in exchange for JSN and Trevor Lawrence in a 10-team dynasty league startup, but the source later noted crushing closing line value on him as one of the most drafted guys.

Insight page

Quinshon Judkins

PositiveValue9:24

Flock Fantasy expresses stronger confidence in Quinchon Judkins' long-term talent profile compared to Bashel Tutin, recommending Judkins as the preferred pivot target in a two-for-one trade (Tutin and Devonte Adams) to upgrade the running back position in dynasty. The source states: 'I would pivot it over to Quinchon Judkins, maybe somebody that I'm a little more confident with the profile of talent-wise long-term than Bay Shel Tutin.'

Insight page

Rashee Rice

NegativeValue44:57

Identified as a potential sell candidate if a team with a weak starting lineup in a 10-team league falls to 1-4 by week five and needs to pivot to a rebuild strategy.

Insight page

Sam Darnold

NegativeInjury3:24

Seahawks starting QB received good news on hip injury but is expected to miss next week's game at Arizona. Source estimates 2–3 week absence, with possibility of missing weeks 3–4 as well given the 10-day advance ruling-out.

Insight page

Stefon Diggs

PositiveRole29:10

Part of strong wide receiver core in 16-team superflex dynasty league alongside Jefferson and AJ Brown, providing significant skill position depth; also noted as receiver depth on contender team alongside Mike Evans.

Insight page

Travis Hunter

NegativeDepth Chart27:59

Drafted with average pick of 143 in best ball portfolio; experienced ADP collapse due to position change concerns, playing defensive back throughout training camp rather than maintaining offensive role.

Insight page

Trevor Lawrence

PositiveValue21:48

Trevor Lawrence was acquired in a trade where the source gave up Tyson Etienne, Quentin Johnston, Dak Prescott, and two first-round picks (2027 and 2028); the source describes this as a 'slight upgrade' from Dak Prescott at the quarterback position in a 10-team dynasty league. Additionally, the source discusses Lawrence as a potential trade piece in a superflex league, suggesting he could be packaged with Brian Thomas to trade for an upgrade at QB such as Drake May, or alternatively traded with Thomas for Jared Goff as a buy-low opportunity after a poor performance.

Insight page

Trey McBride

PositiveValue12:00

Flock Fantasy identifies Trey McBride as one of the elite tight end prospects (alongside Brock Bowers and Colston Loveland) where taking only two tight ends is justified in best-ball format. Additionally, the source identifies McBride as a target acquisition for a strong contending team, suggesting he is worth trading a 2027 first-round pick and Dalton Concaid to acquire if the team reaches 4-2 by week six.

Insight page

Tua Tagovailoa

NegativeInjury0:29

Falcons backup QB went down in practice grabbing his back. Tua was already considered a weak fantasy asset for Atlanta's offense, but his injury forces the team to pivot to Cooper Rush as the likely starter, further degrading Atlanta's offensive projections and team win probability. Market makers dropped Atlanta's win probability from 37% to 32% and lowered the implied team total to 19.5 points following the injury announcement.

Insight page

Tyrone Tracy

NegativeRole41:04

RB3 on a draft team in a superflex league; the source suggests that if Tyrone Tracy were not the running back three, the team could have pursued a hyper-fragile build with double anchor running backs, implying Tracy's presence as RB3 limits roster flexibility and the source would have preferred a fifth running back instead of some of the wide receivers drafted.

Episode Transcript

1,245
0:00We've had one game and the injuries are already hell. Like the situation we had in Atlanta coming into this was one in
0:09which we were missing Michael Penn, who we were told in camp was the better quarterback between the two, but he just
0:18physically isn't available coming off the torn ACL. So they said, "All right, well, we're gonna have to go with Tua because we can't take Penn. We'll go
0:26with the backup." And then what happens?
0:29Oh. Uh, today in practice we have Tua go down grabbing his back. And maybe you say, "Oh, Mason, this doesn't matter.
0:38Tua was already bad, right? Tua was already not going to help this Atlanta Falcons offense." But you know who knows more than I do about this. you know who
0:48knows more than you do about this and two is impact and him going down and instead we are now looking at say
0:57Cooper Rush being the quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons market makers and what happened um once we ended up getting
1:08two announced injured with the back and Cooper Rush looking like he's potentially going to be the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. Oh,
1:16those market makers moved Atlanta from having a 37% chance of winning the game, dropping them down to a 32% chance.
1:25Going through and looking at the total that we have right now for the Atlanta Falcons, their implied team total is 19.5 points and you have more people
1:35taking the no on them hitting that.
1:39Atlanta's going to be a dumpster fire now. You still end up having to start Drake London. It sucks. even if they're
1:45on their third quarterback because Drake London is just a literal beast. But you have to lower your expectations with this Atlanta Falcons offense, even lower
1:54than it was. And again, I would say those market makers, they know more than you do. They know more than I do, and we
2:01want to use that information to try to help us make the best fantasy football decisions possible. Now, of course, if you want to check out any of those
2:08markets, um you can always find the link to Poly Market US in the description comment section. Use code flock, you'll get $50 added to your account after you
2:15deposit your first 10. It's available in 49 out of 50 states, available pretty much everywhere. But let's go through and let's look at the other news for the
2:24day. So Josh Jacobs pled no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property. The NFL said there is quote
2:35unquote no timetable as to when he could be disciplined. A league official said, "We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter, which
2:43remains under review of the personal conduct policy. There is no change to his status as he remains on the commissioner's exempl list. So, if we're
2:52looking at this setup now with Josh Jacobs, I actually obviously this is not good.
2:58What would have been great is we get the trial today, they come through and they say that, oh, Jacobs is innocent. He's settled."
3:07Blah, blah, blah. all charges being dropped, Jacobs back playing say in week two. Looks like that's not going to be the case. I would expect that at this
3:15point Josh Jacobs is getting hit with a small suspension, but because they expedited this process, I think the probability that Josh Jacobs
3:25misses all season now, it's honestly lower. Like I think we probably see Josh Jacobs back at some point this year. Um,
3:34going over to the Seattle Seahawks and Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold quote unquote um received really, really good news regarding his hip injury. Mike McDaniel
3:44said Thursday, but the Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback is expected to miss next week's game at Arizona. This is phenomenal. Again, right when we had
3:54Darnold go down and I thought he was potentially out for the season, my gut reaction was crap. Um, I would rather
4:01have CD Lamb. I would rather have a Monroe St. Brown. I would rather have Justin Jefferson over JSN. Now, JSN's somebody I'm rooting for so damn much.
4:10One of my favorite players in the league. I have him in so many basketball drafts. And on top of that, obviously,
4:15Junko has him in the Flock League and I want Junko to beat S.
4:19So, I was very upset about it. But for us getting this news of Darnold only missing probably two 3 weeks cuz if
4:30they're already ruling him out 10 days before their game against the Arizona Cardinals next week, would it be shocking if he missed weeks three and
4:39four as well? So Darnold going to miss some time here. JSN in the meanwhile will probably be a mid to low and wide
4:46receiver one rather than elite like we typically would rank him at. Now, obviously JSN was able to overcome the quarterback play with Drew Lockach last
4:56week or yesterday, and obviously Drew Lock did look good, but we got to be real with ourselves. I don't think Drew
5:01Lock's good all of a sudden just because he had one strong performance. Now, we already talked about the Green Bay Packers stuff with Josh Jacobs. Already
5:10talked about that. So, those were um the big three. We also did get official word with the AJ Brown situation. So, it
5:18sounds like AJ Brown is going to be dealing with the high ankle sprain. We don't exactly know the severity of this.
5:24We don't exactly know when we are getting AJ Brown back, but I did nuke AJ Brown in my rest of season ranks. Like,
5:30I have AJ Brown now down next to like Jameson Williams because realistically, I have Jameson Williams on my own fantasy team. And if I had to go through
5:39and think about, oh, okay, would I trade him for AJ Brown now? I don't know if I would. Now, let's say if you're playing
5:45in a really shallow format where depth is easy to come by, right? 10 team, two receiver, one flex, then at that point,
5:51you would rather have the AJ Brown profile with an elite ceiling in the second half of the season over your wide
5:58receiver two prototype, like a low and wide receiver 2 like J Mo. But if you're in a deeper league like me where it's a
6:0512 team double flex, I don't know if I like I have AJ Brown now ranked as a lowend wide receiver too
6:11rest of year because what happens with me and how I rank these players rest of season after they have their injury is I
6:16want to drop them quite aggressively and then every week that goes by and they're closer to returning, they're going to move up our rankings slightly. So I
6:24think this will probably be the low point for AJ Brown in our rankings down near like the lowend wide receiver two
6:30range. high and wide receiver three.
6:32Like if we were to reddraft today, I think I would be looking at AJ Brown in like the fifth, maybe even sixth round
6:37of fantasy drafts. But every week that goes by, he will become a little bit more valuable. Now, I think that's all I
6:44got for the news that we have for today, but let's go ahead and let's move on with this. Langlass, I am sorry. You've
6:56been trying to look at your baseball portfolio for a while now, my friend, but for whatever reason, it's not loading in. So, you may have to
7:02resubmit. Now, let's look at TeamX. Um, typically I was going to do these um Dynasty teams on a Dynasty dedicated live stream, but um now we are to the
7:14point where I'm running out of time, right?
7:17Yesterday I live streamed for seven hours straight effectively across all the channels. Made a video as well. So, we're to the point where everything's
7:26just going to be done on this screen.
7:28Now, party strip clubs, the second year of the league. We lost the championship first year. I think I have a lot of
7:33value and I'm not sure who to move up to up tier and solidify my juggernaut status. Not a casual league, but trades
7:39have been hard even if the calculator says it's even. League mates are competent, just scared to make moves. I think very similar spot to a lot of
7:47people watching this, right? I will say if we are looking at this being a dynasty format 10 team start eight very
7:54very shallow very much reminiscent of like a reddraft league in a way now looking at our quarterback position it is a one QB format so QB not going to
8:05matter much the matchups between Caleb Lawrence Perie this week you play Caleb Williams um but yeah quarterback you're just fine running back we have the combo
8:13of Genty Bree Hall um if we're looking at like our week one lineup wide receiver we We have Jefferson, Z Flowers, tied in, we have Leaporta, and
8:21then in the flex bots, we have ETN and Inbuka. And if we go down to the bench here, what I want to primarily focus in
8:27on will be names that may decrease in value over the next 12 months that we don't necessarily need because we have
8:32plenty of depth. Like Casey Conception, I'm not going to say like, oh, he's on your bench, trade him. Um, because realistically, he could be worth a lot
8:39more next year and he could help your team next year even if he's on your bench right now. But like Ivante Adams
8:43play, like if you have this much depth, you don't necessarily need Adams on your squad. I would be very interested to see
8:48if you can leverage Devonte Adams with maybe another one of these running backs to see if you can get an upgrade at RB.
8:54Maybe if you can just pivot over to someone you're a little more excited about or maybe that's a little bit younger, right? Like if we were to go
8:59through and try to put together something here. Um maybe you could try to send say the combination of Dvonte Adams as well as Bashel Tutin. Um go
9:10over to the running back position and keep in mind for anybody watching this this is going to be Dynasty so it's
9:14going to be a little bit different in terms of how we price this out. And if you could go to like Jadarian Price in a
9:18Dynasty League, I think that'd make a ton of sense, especially after him looking pretty damn good yesterday. If you could take the combination of like
9:24Tuton and Devonte Adams, and if you wanted to go full-blown like can honestly, I would pivot it over to Quinchon Judkins, maybe somebody that
9:31I'm a little more confident with the profile of talent-wise long-term than Bay Shel Tutin. So, I think your leverage spot here if you wanted to make
9:38a trade is maybe trying to send that two for one deal where we use Devonte Adams as an upgrade piece to get an
9:44improvement somewhere else in the lineup.
9:48But I think that's all I got for you, my guy. I really appreciate you and I think you have a damn good team. Obviously,
9:52you are a contender right now. If we're going through and looking at the waiverwire Dynasty League, the waiverss are going to be incredibly thin and
9:59yeah, there's nothing that is too interesting there. But I really appreciate you and really hope that I was able to help you out in some way
10:07with this.
10:10Now, let's move this over to a baseball portfolio. It's going to be from Brad.
10:16Says, "Mason, I've been watching you for a while and appreciate your insight on the best portfolio. It's split between UD and DK. Keep up the great content
10:23rolling and may the best man win this flock league season." Well, I appreciate you, my guy, and the best man will win.
10:30You're looking at him here. But I'm gonna go through and I'm actually gonna get rid of the DK stuff just because I'm
10:35gonna be completely honest with you. Um I am not an expert with the 20 round best drafts. I just frankly never do
10:42them. I only do 18 round best drafts. So here this is going to be something I'm a little more comfortable looking in. I
10:47will say you got incredible incredible value with Mike Washington here as your most drafted player at an average pick of 170. Obviously with the genty injury
10:55that did vault him up quite dramatically. I'm going through and looking at the Algier um average pick of 160. That is insane as well. So like you
11:04actually hit on a couple of these handcuffed running backs that moved up in a big time way. The calculator I mean
11:11sorry you're getting a really low portfolio grade. I honestly think probably the mistake that you made here is I think you going through and you
11:22deciding to draft only two quarterback and only two tight end builds, man, you needed a lot more three QB, a lot more
11:30three tight end. Like here, KD and Andrews being your two tight ends, I would have taken a third. Kyle Pittz and
11:37Kelsey being your two tight ends, I would have taken a third.
11:40Um, Tucker Craft kid, I maybe would have taken a third there. I mean, Lawrence Baker, I maybe would have taken a third.
11:45I definitely would have taken a third with Dalton Schultz, Pat Fry. Um, I think really the only instance in which I'm taking two tight ends or two
11:53quarterbacks in baseball is if we get say Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, right, one of the true elite QBs or at tight
12:00end, we get one of the guys like Bowers who rip now, Trey McBride or Coulson Lovel. But if you weren't getting those
12:07names, I think you were probably better off taking three of those positions. And it looks like we almost never did. So
12:14that would be my main hold that I'd point out with the portfolio. But a couple of those backup running backs you
12:19hit on in a massive way. Now let's move this over to Stone the Cold says, "Feeling like there are too many roster
12:26spots being filled by guys who could but probably won't pop off. The taxi has Coleman Price Simpson offers more opium.
12:33What's the plan here after four losses?
12:35Does McAffrey have to go enjoy the fantasy insight? So, the first thing I want to point out here, man, is you are
12:40going up against a true Thanos level team in this league?
12:45You currently have to play against a team that has Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson. It's a superflex format, so
12:54they're in their lineup. Bejan, Aan, JSN, Jefferson, Nico, Brock Bowers.
13:02This team is a heavy heavy favor of winning this league. But you can't say like, "Oh, okay. Well, let's punt to
13:092027, right? This team's too strong. Um, let's look for 2027 and beyond." Because this team also has four 2027 first round
13:18picks.
13:20So, that absolutely sucks.
13:23Um, of course I'm not going to sit here and say that you're absolutely cooked because once you get to the playoffs, literally
13:33anything can happen. But let me go through and let's check out the team that we are rocking with. We are Stone
13:40Colt. We are down here. And what sucks, man, is you don't have the option to trade away CMC. At least not in my
13:47opinion because you traded away your 27 first. and the team you traded your 27 first to is this team that's at the very
13:54top that's just going to absolutely squash you like a bug. So if you all of a sudden pivot over to a rebuild,
14:02man, you're just giving that team that's already extremely strong in early 2027 first.
14:11Quarterback, we have Burrow, Cam Board.
14:13Obviously, we have some long-term upside with Tai Simpson. running back. We are currently sitting with Jadarian Price, Christian McAffrey, Trevian Henderson,
14:21Karen Williams. So, we have four startable running backs in the long term. Jerian Price, Trevian in the short term are a little rough. Wide receiver,
14:29we have plenty of depth with McMillan, Wilson, Alave, Addison, and Christian Watson. Tight end, you have Sam Leaporta and Isaiah Likely. I actually think I
14:37would make a deal with one of your league mates. I would go down and look at these teams that have no shot at
14:42contending and I would try sending them a trade for an upgrade at our quarterback two slot. Like this team has Jackson Dart. Is there a world in which
14:52you can move Cam Ward upgrade to Jackson Dart? Even if it means you have to pay Chadarian Price. Jarian Price looks
14:59really good long-term. Cam Lord, Jedarian Price may be the winning side.
15:03But since you traded away your 27 first, you need to go through and you need to try to think about how do we win this
15:08this week.
15:10So that's what I would be looking at here, my friend. I would be doing anything that I can to try to have a
15:18competitive roster where maybe we get lucky and we beat the god squad in the fantasy playoffs, but obviously it's going to be very tough. Now, let's
15:28move this over to Slim Reapers. I took over this team three months ago and flipped it from ranked eighth to second.
15:34Well, that's incredible that you did that in three months trying to compete with Thanos and I recently made a trade sending Chase Brown and Ibuka for
15:40Jefferson in a 27 first. Incredible deal. Incredible deal. I will say actually 16 team league that first is worth a little bit less but still really
15:48strong. Obviously thinner at running back. Do you think I target running back now or wait until mid-season for a CMC Henry level running back? Much love.
15:55Much love my friend. I will say it's incredibly impressive what you were able to do taking over this team. The second
16:01thing is I want to look at um where these 27 first round picks are coming from because we don't have our own 27
16:09first. We have the 27 first from this team that has JL as their username. So they're 27 first Jaylen. Um it's this squad here and
16:21their team's pretty damn bad. That looks like it re reasonably could be an early 271. The other one we have is the STAR,
16:30which if that's Straw Hats, if we have their 27 first, which we do, man, this could be the 101. Their wide receiver
16:36one's Terry Mccclure and their wide receiver two is Courtland Sutton. So, what I would really want to do if I were
16:41you is I would want to hold on to those 27 first and I would want to let them to acrue so much value on our roster. Now,
16:49the problem with this is we can't pivot to a full-blown rebuild or at least I want it if I were you because we are
16:56sitting in a situation in which we have um no 27 first of our own. So, it doesn't benefit us to hit the rebuild
17:05button. Our starting lineup in a superflex league is Allen Caleb. Running back, it's weak, but keep in mind it's a 16 team format. We have Raadre, Jonathan
17:14Brooks, Jefferson, AJ Brown, Tyler Warren, London, Diggs, and then down with our depth. We really have very, very little depth to speak of, which is
17:22standard in a 16 team league. Here's the deal, my friend. You did an incredible job this off seasonason.
17:31I love the team, and you're in an awkward spot. I would not trade those 27 picks for running backs until we get
17:39clarity on those picks being early and your league mates willing to treat them as they are. If your league mates wake
17:46up and smell smell the roses and they realize like, hey, those are going to be super early first round picks, then
17:52maybe at that point you can cash in and maybe at that point you can get really appealing prices.
17:58But until then, I think you're sitting on your hands, man. I think you're rolling with this team as is. I think
18:03you did an incredible job this off seasonason and I'm really excited to see it. Now, let's check this out for JBL.
18:10Says, "Just did the startup this week.
18:12We traded Tyson, Quinton Johnson, Dak, a 27 and a 28 first for JSN and Lawrence."
18:18So, Dak to Lawrence slight upgrade Tyson, Quinton Johnson, and two first for JSN. I probably want JSN there.
18:26Actually, it's a 10 team league, so it's a little tougher. Seemed like I needed to make a move to win now with the
18:31roster. Let me know how you think it turned out. Well, I'll say real quick, um, we are currently sitting with the
18:36most valuable team in this league. In terms of our week one starting lineup, we have Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes in there. Running back, we have Gibbs
18:45Hampton. Incredible wide receiver, JSN, Garrett Wilson. In the flex spots, Jeremiah Love, Cam Scatteron, we have George KD at tight end. Going down to
18:53our depth, we have Daniel Jones at quarterback. Um, we have Alec Pierce, Christian Watson at receiver, and then we have Terrence Ferguson at tight end.
19:01So across the board, man, you have a very good team to contend right now. And at the same time, you do have a
19:09tremendous amount of young talent with these guys like Jeremiah Love as a rookie, um Amari and Hampton going into year two, and then obviously JSN and
19:18Jamir Gibbs both drafted in 2023.
19:21But I mean, if we were to go through and if we were to try to map out a trade for you, I don't think you do anything
19:27because maybe you make an argument, oh, we have some expendable depth. we could go through and we could potentially try to sell like Christian Watson or Alec
19:34Pierce, one of these guys on our bench.
19:36I wouldn't do so if I were you though because you don't have a 27 first to back fill if you get an injury. You
19:42don't have a 28 first to back fill if you get an injury. So instead, you need to go ahead sit on your hands with this.
19:52I wouldn't look at doing anything. You built this team exactly how you would want it. And yeah, I think once you
19:58trade away your 27 first and your 28 first in Dynasty, um, a lot of the flexibility you had does kind of go out
20:04the window.
20:06Now, let's look at this from the JPC says, "Hey, brother. Big fan. I was the 24 champ, 25 unlucky early knockout. I
20:14feel your pain, my friend. Punting streaming quarterback tight end. I figured if one of my QBs get hurt, I can still limp along in Superflex. any
20:22glaring improvements or add drops I can make for the Dynasty team. Okay, let's go ahead. Is this the same exact team we
20:31just looked at or the same exact league?
20:33No, but funny enough, the team we looked at right before yours um had the exact same team name as the number one team in
20:40your league as well. But anyway, pulling this up, we are the third team according to the league analyzer here. And we did
20:46trade away R27 first. So, if we don't have R27 first, you are highly incentivized to push your chips in the middle and try to win right now. Now, I
20:56will say in terms of where we are standing with our week one starting lineup, we look like we're in a good
21:01spot. It's a start nine format, so very shallow. If we sort this by contending rankings, we have the number one team in
21:09this league. We have Bejon, Gibbs, JSN, Lamb, Pickins, Parker, Washington.
21:16Unbelievable. literally unreal.
21:20Now, I will say down on the bench, you have valuable guys. You have Rashad White, Jaylen Warren, quality running back depth pieces. We have Godwin, Brian
21:28Thomas, and we have Dallas Goddard. So, we do have plenty of depth across this team.
21:33So, if you wanted to go through and trade away a depth piece, right, where you wanted to try to send the
21:39combination of Lawrence and say Brian Thomas, you wanted to send away this stack of the Jacksonville Jaguars and you wanted to try to pivot over and get
21:48to an upgrade at QB. Obviously, if he could get to Josh Allen, you would do so in a heartbeat here with this being a
21:54superflex league. I mean, maybe a little more realistic of a deal, especially if we could buy low after last night's disaster class is going like Goff and
22:04Brian Thomas for Trevor Lawrence. That would be absolutely beautiful. Again, a lot of these deals much much easier said than done. And realistically, what that
22:11trade would actually probably look like is it would look closer to Lawrence, Brian Thomas for Drake May. But I think you could afford to sell one of your
22:20depth pieces to get an upgrade at QB, which would be interesting just cuz your team is already so damn strong here,
22:26man. And I think you're almost a lock to be a contender this year regardless. But yeah, phenomenal team and I think you
22:33can afford an upgrade IQB.
22:35Now, Ale Hunted says, "I did a ton of drafts over the summer and all the way up until the middle of August." Well,
22:41let me go ahead and let me trim out any of the weird drafts like the six team leagues, etc., etc. If y'all don't know,
22:49this is a basketball portfolio. I know.
22:51Oh, did y'all hear that?
22:55That was crazy. Oh my gosh, that scared the crap out of me. I thought our live stream was going down. My monitor just
23:01had a super loud pop and then it went black. It's back now, but dear God. I mean, we've been live. This computer
23:09screen has been on and I've been in this chair for like the past 48 hours.
23:14Um, this monitor is holding on for dear life right now, but this is a best ball portfolio. I know most people probably
23:20don't know what that is, but it's fine.
23:22We'll dive into it anyway. So, here anyway, Trevian Henderson being our most drafted player this year. We took him in 66 drafts. Brutal run out. Man, I'm
23:31going to be honest. Looking at a lot of your most drafted players, you got cooked.
23:37Trevon Hitter, average pick of 51.
23:40If we were to draft today, you'd be like a sixrounder.
23:44Jake Ferguson fell a bunch in drafts.
23:46Jacobe Myers fell a bunch in drafts with the wrist injury. Jawan Jennings fell. I mean, you have had an average pick of
23:52152, ADP of 184. I'm going to be honest with you, I think that you got unlucky with a lot of these top guys getting
23:59injured, whether it was with Jacobe with the wrist, Trevian with the ankle.
24:05going through and looking at your roster construction looks really sharp. You look like you knew what you were doing in drafts and
24:12at the same time we had a ton of stacks, but I think that honestly you maybe just got
24:20a little unlucky here and I think that it's not a great portfolio because of some of your most drafted players, but
24:29structurally you did exactly what you should have. It just sucks to see that you've had the injuries run out that way
24:34so far. Now, let's move over to Duncan Dinks. This is another Dynasty team.
24:40Says, "New to fantasy football and looking into how my team looks. Not sure if I should try to contend or rebuild
24:45again. This is going to be a dynasty team. You are labeled as a strong rebuilder on the site and there's a
24:51clear reason for this, right? Genty going into year two. Carnell Tates a rookie, Luther Burden going into year two, Lad going into year three, Worthy
24:59going into year three, Kenyan Sadik a rookie, Arande Gadston going into year two. Like so many of your guys are incredibly young and you have that 27
25:08first. If we sort this by the contender values as if this was a reddraft team, you'd be the second worst team in this
25:14league, man. So, I actually do think that if I were you, I potentially would look at pivoting this over to
25:24a rebuild. I think I may actually look at going through and seeing if some of these contenders would give us a
25:30tremendous amount of picks and long-term value. Like let's go through and let's see if we can find some young assets that we can pivot off of. Like maybe if
25:39you could down tier from like Josh Allen to Joe Burrow with this team that looks like they're going to contend this year,
25:46pick up their late 27 first and then also a young asset like Jadarian Price.
25:52Um, this would be a no nobrainer. Now, obviously, it's going to be much much easier said than done, but I would
25:58absolutely love to make that deal with a contending team. This is a Mahomes team.
26:02If there's a way that you could pivot from Allen to like Mahomes and just go through and pick up that additional
26:08asset of their late 27 first and see if they have another young player they can give us like Jordan Addison, this is
26:15also something else that I would look to do. Um, if we were looking at other down tiers, I think moving from Bree Hall and
26:22maybe picking up one of those rookie running backs like Jadarian Price. I think that would be very interesting. Or something else that you could look at
26:30doing here is you could try to get over to like a Jeremiah Love by sending Bree Hall plus a piece, right? What would the
26:37cost of Jeremiah Love be right now?
26:40Especially if this team is in their rebuilding, I'm sorry, in their contending mindset. and Dynasty, could you sell Bree Hall and lad Maconi to
26:48pick up Love?
26:50I think that would be a super super interesting pivot. So, for me, based on your team currently, I do think I would
26:58probably try to pivot to a rebuild. Now, if you can't get insane value for these studs, then honestly, you don't do it.
27:04But looking at the long-term value on your roster, you are near the top here.
27:09Um, I will say the players that if we do pivot over to a rebuild, I think I would look to throw on the block. Breeze Hall
27:16for sure and then Josh Allen if you could get some crazy [snorts] value for him. But really appreciate you and hope I was able to
27:26help you out in some way.
27:28Now Stein coming through with the best portfolio. Here we are looking at a portfolio that got nuked.
27:38Aronda Gadson, our most drafted player, 151 average ADP, I'm sorry, average pick. By the time contest ended, it looked like he wasn't even getting
27:48drafted because he may be the Titan three in Los Angeles, which is just crazy to say.
27:54Now, going over and looking at what we have of some of the other guys that got nuked, Josh Jacobs, one of our most
27:59drafted guys, average pick of 41, and closed the contest with an ADP of 77. Chuba Hubard, one of our most drafted guys, average pick of 80, gets
28:09the hamstring injury, gets nuked. Travis Hunter, average pick of 143, gets nuked playing defensive um back all training camp.
28:20So, I think that honestly you had a really tough run out here. I'm just going to be honest with you. I'm just
28:27going to keep it a buck, my guy. Looking at your draft structurally, I'm going to get rid of some of the weird ones. I
28:32just want to look at the 2026 season.
28:34Um, it looks like structurally we knew what we were doing. We autodrafted some teams, which also kind of kills the portfolio where like 2% of your teams
28:45you only had one tight end. 2% of your teams you had five tight ends.
28:492% of your teams you had one quarterback, 9% of your teams you had four QBs. So, I'm going to be honest,
28:53it's not my favorite portfolio. I think you got unlucky with some of your most drafted players. And on top of that, if
29:00we pivot over and we look at what we have with our construction, not the best year either, if I'm going to be honest.
29:07Now, let's go over to Fantasy Linebacker. We got another best ball portfolio that we are going to be looking at. Again, typically we hold
29:15these off for the Dynasty live streams, but we are streaming so much lately. We just kind of have to do everything here.
29:21I don't have time for the Dynasty ones.
29:23So, here we are going to get rid of the 20 round drafts. And I will say from a construction perspective, man, you know
29:28exactly what you're doing.
29:30Like love seeing this distribution of seven, eight wide receiver teams, but still mixing in six and nine. Um, primarily drafting three QBs, three
29:37tight ends, but obviously still taking two in certain spots. I think structurally phenomenal. Some of our most drafted guys we definitely reached
29:46on. Like Mai Limon, I'm right there with you. I drafted Mai Limmon in a ton of drafts. The hamstring injury did end up
29:52nuking him, which really hurts. Um, also you have another guy like at your top drafted with Kyle Manungai who got nuked
29:59with his hyperextended knee when it comes to like his average draft position. So you did lose a lot of closing line value. And in terms of what
30:08we have with some of our most drafted names, they don't look great now. But I will say from a structural perspective,
30:14like your portfolio does look really good. It's just like some of these top exposures maybe aren't ideal with the injuries that we saw in camp.
30:22Now going over to Gray Firewolf says, "Hey Mason, with the season starting, how do you think I'll do this year? And
30:29do you have any tips for next year? I know I tend to probably go a little bit overboard with the quote unquote my
30:34guys." Man, you crushed it. I'll say that right now. Also, um, did your partnership with UD and it won't let me
30:40sync my latest drafts? All you have to do is get the newest, um, extension.
30:45Google Chrome had an issue that had nothing to do with our partnership ending or underdog obviously um leaving some states with the drafts. But yes, we
30:54are no longer with UD. Instead, we are with Poly Market US. But you should still be able to use your draft
31:00assistant. No problem. You just probably have to get the latest version because Google Chrome was giving us some issues, my friend. But let me get rid of your 20
31:08round drafts. That way we can focus in on the 18 round roster construction, which I know a lot more of. And again, I
31:15do want to point out that you crushed your most drafted guys like Quinton Johnson, great closing line value.
31:22Terren Ferguson, you took in 36% of your drafts and you finished with an ADP of 150.
31:31You took Daltton Schultz with an average pick of 169. He finished with an ADP of 158. You have incredible closing round
31:39value with a lot of these guys. Now, Jaden Higgins, obviously, not so much, but um I think your draft strategy on
31:45the players you were going after, incredible. The only complaint that I have about your portfolio is I think you were probably a little too rangebound.
31:54Really, only drafting 3573 builds. I think you probably should have dispersed it a little bit differently based on just wanting to be flexible in the draft
32:03room that you're in and based on, oh, if I'm going with a top-end quarterback here, let me go with a 2QB build. If I'm
32:09going with the top end tight end, let me go with the two tight end build. So, from a roster construction perspective,
32:16I think we maybe played it a little too safe in my opinion, but obviously those most drafted players for you look
32:23incredible.
32:25Now, let's look at this from Lil Pop.
32:28Says, "I won last season, but just wanted to know if you think I should make any moves. I tried to move Nico,
32:32but no one's really interested in him."
32:34So, it's going to be a Dynasty Superflex league. We are currently sitting in these six spots. So, right in the middle
32:42of this league. So, here's the deal. You traded away your 27 first. So, when you trade away your 27 first, you need to be
32:49a contending team. You need to go through and you need to look to win right now, which honestly, it looks like
32:54you already know that. Quarterback, we have the combo of Drake May and Jackson Dart. It's a 10 team superflex league, so quarterback depth's not going to
33:00matter much. And we still do have startable QB3s with Gino and Cousins, so completely fine there. Going over to running back, we are currently sitting
33:09with the combo of James Cook, Derk Henry, and Devon Aan. So, three incredible RBs. We have quality depth pieces with Trevian, Marshon Lloyd as
33:18well. Wide receiver, we have JSN, Nico Wadd, we have depth of Sutton, and then tight end, not the strongest tight end
33:25room in the world, but it's a non-titend premium format, so who cares? So, my question that I need to ask you here, my
33:31guy, that I truly don't understand the answer to is why would you be trying to get rid of Nico Collins? This is the
33:37perfect kind of team to hold on to Nico with. You've already constructed your team in a really good spot for the
33:44ability to win this year. Now, do not, and I repeat, do not trade away your 28 first because there is a very real
33:53chance that 12 months from now, if Derrick Henry is absolute washed up, Jaylen Wadd's a little worse, James Cook's a little worse, Nico Collins a
34:00little worse, maybe next off season you decide, oh, okay, let me go ahead and pivot this over to a rebuild. That is a
34:08possibility. But when it is right now September 10th and we want to be contending based on the team that we have. You leave this exactly how you
34:19have it. Just leave yourself the 28 first. That way you have the flexibility if you need it later on. Now let's go
34:25over to our next one. This going to be from Tai Eager. Says eight keeper league took over a rough roster two offseasons
34:33ago. It made a ton of moves to get it here. I feel like where it's headed, but feel stuck with how thin running back is
34:40leaguewide. Is this a team good enough to push all in and win now, or should I step back and keep building for the
34:46future? So, I'll say typically in a keeper league like this, if it's a seven eight player keeper, I'd say I'll treat
34:54it maybe a little more like a redraft league than a dynasty league, but it is a 14 team format. So, really, every
35:01quality player is going to be kept year-over-year. So, um, definitely want to treat this as if it's a dynasty league, but some of those really deep
35:10names aren't going to matter nearly as much. The guys like, say, Jacobe Lane, because you probably will have to cut them next off season. So, let's go
35:17through and let's sort us by long-term values with the newer and cooler order.
35:23Um, we are currently sitting here.
35:27Quarterback, we have Bo Party. running back Gibbs Swift, wide receiver Thomas, JMO Conception, Jordan Addison, and Tyler Warren at tight end. If we short
35:37sort this by values for today, we are currently sitting in a very similar range, sixth best team in this league.
35:46So, with this lineup, man, I would say if it was a 10 team format, it would be very bad because your wide receiver room
35:52would be garbage. If it was a 12 team format, it would be average.
35:57But with this being a 14 team league, I want to keep this how you have it. I don't want you to make any trades. I
36:05don't think you're good enough to push your chips in the middle. Like, for the love of God, do not go out there and
36:12um do not trade away your 27 first, your 28 first.
36:23like you very much need to go ahead hold on to those I mean hold on to those picks just in case like Jir Gibbs goes
36:30down your team's garbage and you need to pivot over to a rebuild you can trade him away if we get to week six week
36:38seven and all of a sudden Brian Thomas has bounced back and you're like damn I'm golden I'm contending then maybe at
36:44that point if you wanted to go through and if you wanted to try to trade away like a 27 first and Blake Cororm to get
36:49a significant upgrade of the flex you can do it then. But as it stands right now, you leave this as is, man, and you
36:54wait to see if this team truly can contend. And we'll know that in a couple um weeks.
37:00Now, Ruiner of Things says mid-season rebuild last season sold off parts to reload at wide receiver
37:11and down tier at running back. Was previously the oldest team in the league. I think I have a shot to get
37:17back up on top this year if things go right. may need to add down the stretch.
37:21I think we're in a wait and see for now.
37:24Appreciate your thoughts. I appreciate you, my guy, and I'm excited to dive into this team. So, let's go through and let's pull this up. I will say that
37:35we have 27. We have two 27 first, right?
37:38We have our own and we have the 27 first of this team. Now, if we are looking at contender values, this team here pretty
37:47damn good, right? They have St. Brown Pickkins, Al Lad, Devonte Adams, like you most likely have two late 27 ones.
37:55Looking at our lineup with this being a superflex league, we are currently sitting with the combination of Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford.
38:03Running back, we have DeAndre Swift, Trevian Henderson. Wide receiver, we are looking at the combo of Malik Neighbors, Drake Glenn, and Devont Smith. So
38:12really, I mean, tight end, you have Craft, two quality flexes with Flowers and Waddle. Really strong spot minus running back. Like obviously running
38:21back's a pretty big need, but we even have wide receiver depth with Diggs and Evans. Here's the deal, man. You have
38:28this extra 27 first and you have a strong contender team according to the league analyzer, which I personally would agree with. I would go through and
38:37I would try to push our chips in the middle.
38:44I would see if there's a way you could trade Trevon Hitter and a 27 first and get an upgrade.
38:50Like going through it and let's try to see if we can find some of these teams that are rebuilders. This team has Casey
38:57Conception as their wide receiver, too.
38:59There's no way this team doesn't view themselves as a rebuilder.
39:03Is there a way you could go like Trevian Henderson and that late 27 first that you have from that really good team and get back
39:12James Cook and maybe like another contending piece from them or just a second rounder? Like could you get back James Cook and an early second from
39:24them?
39:26Like I would be interested in making a move like this. Again, I don't think you want to trade your first round pick, but
39:31the first round pick of this teams that you have. Like, I think that's fair game to move off the team because it doesn't
39:38hurt your flexibility. And that first round pick looks like it's probably going to be late. So, I would attack those rebuilding teams and see if you
39:45can find a way to get to a pretty damn strong um spot at running back. Now, let's move this over to Brandon. Says, "This was my
39:54first year playing baseball and your tools very helpful. Sadly, my state prohibits using UD. Otherwise, I'd probably have more than 11 drafts. So,
40:03completely understand that, my friend.
40:05And I think more people are going to be in your situation going into the future.
40:10But going through and looking at a portfolio like this, if you only have 11 drafts, I don't want to look at like the
40:16big picture thing. I would honestly rather focus in on some of the recent drafts that you had done and see if
40:21there was anything that I personally would have done differently. I think with this team here, if you have Britain Strange and Hunter Henry as your two
40:28tight ends, I probably would have gone with a third tight end in that instance.
40:33Going over and looking at this team here, if Dart and Malik Willis were my two QBs, I probably would have gone with
40:38the third QB. And in both of those instances, I think you probably should have taken one fewer wide receiver. This team looks phenomenal from a
40:45construction perspective. This team looks really strong from a construction perspective.
40:50Um, this is a Superflex league, so obviously a little different. And I'll be honest with the Superflex basketball leagues. I've never had success. I don't
40:58think you want to listen to me. Um, I think this Frenchie team, um, I understand going double anchor running back, maybe it would open you up to go
41:04with the hyper fragile build if your running back three wasn't Tyrone Tracy.
41:08So, I would say more likely than not, what you should have done in that instance is you probably should have taken a fifth running back here. But
41:16overall, I don't think there are like any sweeping massive like horrible things that oh man, you're doing horrible job taking eight running backs
41:24on this team. But there are minor pivots I would have made with some of those drafts personally, but I'm really wishing you the best of luck, my guy.
41:31Now, Shoeach says, "First year Dynasty League. Just looking to see your thoughts on the team and if you see any roster moves that need to be made."
41:38Okay, first year Dynasty League, you have the best team in this league. Going through and looking at this from a contenders value perspective, we are at
41:45number three. Our lineup week one has Herz, Jared Goff, Bejan, Javvante, Neighbors, Pickings, Concaid, Rice, JMO.
41:53Phenomenal. Looking at the depth, you are sitting with Cam Ward and a superflex. Cam Ward anti- Simpson. Love the long-term value of Simpson there.
42:02Running back, we have Rodriguez, Shakori Crossing, Merit, quality depth, RBs. We have the long-term value of Jordan Tyson, and we have Michael Pitman Jr. as
42:09a depth piece. This is a phenomenal, and I mean a phenomenal room when it comes to contending now and with long-term value.
42:22You absolutely crushed this draft, man.
42:26You did an incredible job here. I don't think you need to make a single move before the season starts, but I will say
42:33that you have such a strong team. I wouldn't be opposed um
42:42to you going through and looking at potentially trading away your 27 first.
42:53I wouldn't do it now because again you also do have a very young team as well.
42:57But like if we're in week six and you're sitting at four and two and you're like I can go through and sell my 27 first
43:03and Daltton Concaid and somehow get to Trey McBride, I would be very interested in making a move like that then because I do think
43:09your team is strong enough where you can afford it, my friend.
43:13Now let's go over to Mash says, "I feel like this team is in between a rebuild and a minor contender. Other than
43:20selling quarterback, how would you continue to grow this team's value?"
43:23Okay, let's go ahead and let's pull this out. So right now we are in purgatory.
43:27We are kind of in the middle of this league. We do have our own 27 first. So you have the ability to rebuild if we
43:32want. If we look at our week one starting lineup here for this be a 10 team league. We have love Javvante Bucky
43:39Justin Jefferson Rice downs at wide receiver three. Harold Fannon at tight end and Tuton and RJ Harvey in your flex spots. So I'm going to be honest with
43:48you Chief this is a weak team. 12 team for bat. This would be a okay and I'd be completely fine with it. But in a 10
43:56teamer, like if you drafted this in a like a regular 2026 reddraft league, you would be behind the eight-ball. You'd have one of the worst teams in the
44:04league. So I wouldn't want you to plan on contending right now. I wouldn't want you to push your chips in the middle.
44:11Now, what you could decide to do is you could decide to wait a couple weeks, see what happens, and potentially re-evaluate when we get to week four,
44:21right? where if you're 4-0 or if you're 3 and one and you're like, damn, all I need to do is trade away my 27 first,
44:28bring in a significant upgrade here for wide receiver three, move Josh down and B shell Ton down to the flex spot. Then
44:34maybe at that point you can go through and you can look at making a move to push your chips in the middle. But I
44:40think the most likely outcome is you're going to wait through the first four weeks this season or first five weeks this season. There's a damn good chance
44:49that you're sitting at three and two.
44:51I'm sorry. You're sitting at one and four going into week five and you're like, "Damn, I gotta pivot over to a
44:57rebuild now and I need to go through and I need to sell Rasheed Rice. I need to sell Javvante Williams. I need to sell
45:05Justin Jefferson." Again, I don't think you throw in the towel right now because you definitely have upside, but I think long-term you potentially
45:15um would put yourself in a very compromising position if you were to sell any picks to try to contend.
45:22But let's go over to Mark Award or actually no, we're going to look at Jagger slop here. Says this is a 14 team
45:30half PPPR auction. We are the defending champ and got railroaded in many bits.
45:37Would love to improve my running back to and flex if possible. Willing to trade Puka, but straight up for a Monro has
45:43been the best offer and I don't like that. 100% agree, man. Here's the deal.
45:49When you got Puka on your team, the risk of something happening was probably higher than it is now, right?
45:57Because if we go through and if we look at where you stood with Pukanua initially,
46:08you add suspension risk and you add injury risk, but now at this point, man, the suspension risk for Puka is pretty much
46:18gone, as well as the injury risk. Like I'm way more confident in Puketua now than I was.
46:26Going over and looking at the team as it stands. It's a two receiver, one flex format. Quarterback, we have Dak. In
46:33terms of backups, we have Dart. Really strong and actually probably a necessity because if we were to go through and if
46:39we were to look at some matchups for Dak Prescott, I would like to bench him. So, will be nice to be able to play the
46:45matchups between these two guys.
46:48Going over to running back, we have Hampton, Jaylen Warren, Jordan Mason.
46:52So, we have an anchor running back one and we have depth here in a 14 team format.
46:58Wide receiver, we have Puka, Devont Smith, Brian Thomas Godwin, and tight end, we're in a little bit of an awkward spot. We have Jawan Johnson, and Michael
47:05Mayer. So, here's the deal.
47:09I think Michael Mayer is an intriguing pickup for those teams that lost Brock Bowers and need help at tight end.
47:18I don't know if you are ever going to be in a position in which you need Michael Bayer.
47:24Like realistic expectation. I think you're going to play Jawan Johnson over him early in the season before Jordan Tyson gets back. And then once Tyson is
47:33back and Jawan becomes less appealing, all of a sudden Michael Mayer will be a worse name to look at and he'll just be
47:41a waiverwire name regardless. So I don't think you need to do this right now. I think you can wait until Sunday and see
47:48what we end up getting from the Las Vegas Raiders, but I would probably probably be quick to go ahead and cut Michael Mayer and
48:00pick up Caleb Johnson, Brillin Allen, Ray Davis, another handcuff RP.
48:06If we were to get an injury to one of the quarterbacks, whether that was Dak Prescott, whether I'm sorry, another quarterback in our league and Dak/Dart
48:17are super appealing trade options for them. I would be interested in seeing if we could sell like Dart and Jaylen Warden for a better running back, too.
48:26But as of now, there haven't been one of those injuries that you could get any value out of selling one of the QBs. So,
48:33I wouldn't do anything today. I think you drafted a good team right now. I don't think you want to tra trade Puka
48:39with your construction. I would be quick to drop Michael Mayer for a backup running back. And on top of that, I
48:45would look at potentially going through and if you get the opportunity to sell a quarterback, I would. But for now, you
48:50have a damn good team.
48:53Now, let's go over and let's look at Mark. Another 14 team league here.
48:58Marker is a longtime member of the flock if y'all don't know. But here says, "Hope you're doing well, my friend. I
49:05love this team. I got in a half PPR 14 team format. Focused on running backs a lot early. Perfect for a half PPR
49:13league. Where do I improve or do I just ride out until Jacobs gets back in my opinion?" And again, you know,
49:22you've been around long enough to know that I'm stupid, right?
49:26In my opinion, which means not a lot. I think there's a damn good chance that
49:34Josh Jacobs plays this season knowing that he expedited the process of his court hearing and he probably gets suspended,
49:45but I don't think it's for the entire year.
49:48Again, this is just me guessing. Maybe it's an educated guess, but from what I've heard people talking about on Twitter that are lawyers and
49:57that are smarter than me, seems like that's what they are talking about.
50:03Now, looking at what we have for quarterback, we have Bo Nicks. Now, the options that we have at QB are like
50:11Malik Willis, Cam Ward, Bryce Young. So, the options on the waiverwire are pretty damn gross. But I'm going to be honest
50:18with you. I don't think it would be the most shock I don't think it would be the most shocking thing in the world if week
50:24one against the Raiders we actually end up getting Malik Willis outscoring Bo Knicks who's playing against the Kansas City Chiefs.
50:33So I think I'd be interested potentially for us to go through and for us to potentially pick out Malik Willis 14
50:42team format. Like I think Malik Willis is more likely to hit your starting lineup here than like Kalin Black. And you know typically I love rostering as
50:50many of those handcuffed running backs as we can. But I think I would cut Black, pick up Willis, and then I'm going to assume PCO's on
50:59the IR. Obviously if PCO's on the IR, we cut him, pick up Emit Johnson as well.
51:04And another thing that I think you absolutely have to do, I think you have to cut Malik Washington and pick up
51:10Wandale. And with this being a 14 team format where we may not have Jacobs early on and obviously we don't have
51:16Jordan Tyson early on um Wandell Robinson could very easily hit your lineup. So I would make those two or three waiverwire pivots and you have to
51:26you have to make the Wale one. Cut Malik Washington Washington for Well Robinson right this second. Even if you have to
51:31blow your fab budget on him in a 14 team league, he's worth it.
51:36And then afterwards in terms of what we would be looking at here, I don't necessarily think that there are many trades we would make
51:46right now. But if we do get Jacobs back and performing and Jordan Tyson comes back later and breaks out, then you may
51:53have some skill depth to upgrade quarterback. But obviously 14 team format, it is more important for us to build around that skill depth and go
52:00upgrade for a QB right now.
52:03Now let's look at this from Kyle. says, "What do you think of the team? Only thing I waited for was my running back
52:09depth and tight end. Any trades or Waverwire pickups you recommend?"
52:14Okay, let's pull this up. Appreciate you, my guy. Looking at the waiverwire quickly. Um, Waverwire is pretty damn bad. There's nothing I'd be interested
52:22in. Like best options are like those streaming quarterbacks like Jordan Love.
52:27So, I think you leave Waverwire as is.
52:30Looking at where we stand with QB, we have Jaylen Herz. With Jaylen Herz, if it's a four-point passing touchdown format, he's just going to crush given
52:41the rushing upside. Like I would have like I have Drake May on my own fantasy team and after the game we had last night and
52:51four-point passing touchdown formats, I would rather have Jaylen Herz over Drake May.
52:58Now going over to running back, we are currently sitting with Chase Brown, Jeremiah Love, Beel Tutin. So I would say here in the short term, we're going
53:06to be going with Chase Brown, Beel Tutin, but we have the long-term upside of Jeremiah Love, so that should improve over time. Wide receiver, we have Chase
53:16Smith, Wadd Terry. Brian Thomas is our wide receiver five. Godwin's our wide receiver six. Quinton Johnson is our wide receiver seven. And Jordan Tyson is
53:26our wide receiver eight.
53:30So, I think you need to sell a wide receiver for a tight end. In my opinion, Jawan Johnson's going to crush early.
53:37So, if you wanted to leave this as is for now, you can.
53:45But like I would be interested in seeing like L is there a world in which you can sell Wadd for Loveland
53:51which again I have Wadd ranked ahead of Lovelin but looking at your team you wouldn't skip a beat. You still have
53:57Terry, Brian Thomas, Chris Godwin on the bench.
54:01Is there a world in which you can sell Terry for Tyler Warren even if it means you got to throw in Jawan Johnson?
54:13Like that's really the only trade in my opinion that you could make. That would be the only thing that could possibly
54:18make sense for you here because you have an incredible team. You have the best team in this league. I wouldn't do any
54:23waiverwire pivots, but I think you could afford to sell a wide receiver for a tight end.
54:28Now, let's go over to this next one, which is Berg Melly.
54:34This running back situation's pretty bleak. Do we have any suggestions here?
54:39Okay, so let's go ahead and let's pull this up. We are pretty low in the league analyzer.
54:46And here's the deal, man. Running back week one's going to suck. It's going to be atrocious. It's going to be a train
54:51wreck.
54:52Like, we have Jeremiah Love currently listed as the running back two on his own depth chart. Now, do I actually think he's the running back, too? No.
55:02But at the same time, again, offense projects to be horrible. He's had a high ankle sprain pretty much all off seasonason. So, um, expectations for
55:11me are going to be quite low here for love.
55:18Going over to Beel Tutin, we don't have any guarantee whatsoever that Belle Tutin's going to be the guy in Jacksonville for for sure.
55:28Hoping he will be, but we don't know. We don't have any guarantee.
55:34our bench, Jonathan Brooks. No idea what that role is going to be.
55:40We have Calman Algier Caleb as premium handcuffs, but this running back room's only going to get better overtime. Every one of your running backs is like 23
55:50years old or younger. So, yes, I'd have low expectations right now. I don't think it's going to be the end of the
55:57world. I think it will get better.
56:01Going over to tight end, we have Mark Andrews.
56:06I would like to upgrade tight end if we can if this is our guy. It's a two receiver, one flex league. So, here's
56:11the deal, man. Very similar to the team that we looked at right before yours.
56:14Two receiver, one flex format.
56:17The wide receiver depth is meaningless.
56:18Like Luther Burton, Terry McLaren, Deshun's dribbling all on your bench right now. The very clear move in my mind is in a league like this, could I
56:25sell Rasheed Rice and Mark Andrews and get over to Trey McBride?
56:32Right. I would say at quarterback, could we get an upgrade to an elite QB? Could we sell the combination of like Matthew
56:38Stafford and Z Flowers to get to Josh Allen?
56:43Well, running back 2 again is incredibly weak. I'm on board. I understand that.
56:49You don't have to tell me.
56:59It doesn't matter because while week one it's going to be ugly, it's only going to get better in weeks two, three, four,
57:05or five. So, I don't want to stress about running back. My actual suggestion would be based on your league settings, is there a way we can upgrade one of the
57:15onesies by selling our wide receiver depth? Because again, wide receiver depth in a league like that, not super important.
57:22Okay, now let's move this over to our next one. is going to be from Kester Heisen says, "Mason, you're the absolute goat
57:31of the league this year." Appreciate that, my friend. The league dunce S stands no chance. I am very much hoping
57:38so. I am hoping that S gets absolutely stomped on this week. You have no idea.
57:46Like it sucks that I'm in put in this spot, but I am now clearly strongly rooting against Malikite neighbors.
57:58I'm rooting so hard against neighbors at this point. Okay, now anyway, really appreciate all the hard work you put into Flock Fantasy at show. Shout out to
58:07the devs. Shout out to the devs.
58:09Absolutely killing it with flockfantasy.com. Appreciate them so damn much. And appreciate you as well, my guy. But anyway, let's go through and
58:18let's look at this setup.
58:22So, right now, I think we maybe changed our team name. Yeah, we are the number one team in this league. Now, what is
58:30going to be extremely relevant here is this is a 12 team start eight format.
58:3912 team start eight format. you are in a spot in which running back depth and wide receiver depth matter. Having
58:50the elite QB, having the elite tight end is a little bit less important. Now, we do have the elite quarterback and we do
58:58have the elite tight end in this league.
58:59So, the big question is going to come down to do you have enough depth at wide receiver and running back to get by?
59:07Because if you look at your week one lineup, obviously Herdz, Trey McBride, we're chilling. We're super excited about it.
59:14But running back, DeAndre Swift, Tony Pard, disgusting, horrendous.
59:21Now, wide receiver, we're in a really comfortable position. We have Jamar Chase, Nico Collins, Jaylen Waddle.
59:26Absolutely love to see that. We have Mai Limitan dribbling here as well as upside cases. And then we have the elite tight
59:33end with Trey McBride. So, the team has a tremendous amount of value because you did go best player available, but you
59:41did just draft in a range where you weren't able to get running backs early.
59:45So, I think what we're going to need to do is we are going to need to reassess this team after week one.
59:56Like I think if you're in a spot in which Swift, Pard, Cororm, they're not going to get the job done for you. Like Kiran
60:06Williams is the clear lead back. And on top of that, we say like Tony Pard's unusable because he's splitting the backfield 5050.
60:39like with Spears, then at that point you're going to have to sell Trey McBride and you're just going to have to
60:43be a waiverwire warrior when it comes to the tight ends, but I don't see a trade that makes a ton
61:01of sense for you right now. Like I mean of course if you can rob a league mate, if you can sell McBride for Genty, sell
61:06him for Walker, sell him for Barkley, sell him for Achan, you do it in a heartbeat, but like this trade isn't getting done,
61:14right? Like the McBride and Pard for Barkley, no way in hell that's getting accepted. I would send it anyway. And then you would just pick up Andrews off
61:24the waiver wire.
61:38>> [sighs] >> But yeah, I think you're just going to have
61:56to wait and see what the running back room does. week one and then re-evaluate. There is a chance you have to trade away the elite tight end
62:02though, which does suck.
62:04Okay, let's move this over to our next one. This is goated stimulus says, "Obviously love Gibbs, but a team review critique on the
62:14running back room would be helpful." So, it's a start aid format, so running back depth does matter in a league like this,
62:20obviously.
62:22Now looking at the squad.
62:33We are currently the number one team in the league and it's not that close. And you're in a damn good spot, man.
62:42Okay.
62:54We have Herbert and Patrick Mahomes at quarterback.
62:59Running back we have Gibbs, Montgomery, Bucky. Wide receiver we have London Pickkins, Brian Thomas, and we have the depth with Juan Delbo, Trey Harris,
63:06Jaylen Naylor, and tight end we have Tucker Craft, Jake Ferg. This is an incredible team. I legitimately don't know how this happened. Like you got
63:13Gibbs at the 101, London 212, George Pickins 301, 401 McGomery, 501 Bucky. That was a massive fall for Bucky. 612 Brian
63:25Thomas, 712 Tucker Craft, I guess. Justin Herbert at the end of the eighth, the beginning of the ninth.
63:32This is an extremely well-balanced team where your weakest skilled positional group is quarterback ranking seventh in this.
63:42So, man, there's nothing to do at this point.
64:01Like, you have the best team in the league and it's incredibly well balanced. Your waiver wire is garbage.
64:05So, no man, your running back room is fine. Like, Bucky, low floor, high ceiling player. And then obviously if we go over to David McGomery, I'd say
64:12McGomery may be the opposite. So it's like a really strong RB um two RB3 combo. But I really appreciate you and
64:21hope that I was able to help you out in some way.
64:25Now moving over to Phil, long time member of the flock here says, "This is a 16 team league.
64:36I had the 16th pick in the draft. Any trade suggestions to help out would be incredibly helpful. Here's to another year. Let's go win championships. By the
64:46way, how can we follow the flock league through the site like last year? Um, I will figure it out and we will get
64:53something on the we'll get something on flockle league.com where you can follow it, my guy. As of right now, not possible, but I understand a lot of
65:01people want to be able to. So, we'll figure it out. There are just a ton of different things with like the new Flock
65:07um fantasy app that like is more important for the devs to be working on at the moment. But I promise you it is
65:14on the list to get something on flockle.com for people to be able to follow the league. But I appreciate you sticking with me for so damn long, my
65:21guy. And I am excited to look at this team for you. But we are Dragon Ball Z.
65:26Let me go through and let's see.
65:28Hopefully we changed our name because I don't see us near the top. No, we are here at sixth. It's a 16 team league. So
65:33being at the six spot does put us near the top of it. Keep in mind 16 team format. You have to change the way that
65:41you look at this 16 team league. Every team's going to be a little bit worse, right?
65:49Um and I will address this. I know I haven't said this in this live stream and I need to be better about talking
65:53about this. I'm so sorry. Sorry, Phil, to pivot over, but I know you would understand. Animal says, "How do we get
65:59our team reviewed by Mason?" So, typically it's through flockfantasy.com.
66:02Right now, the team reviews are turned off because we are too far behind. And for me, what I need to prioritize is I
66:11need to prioritize um getting the team reviews done for everybody that is an annual [ __ ]
66:24on flockfantasy.com and answering all the start set questions for everybody who got the flockfantasy.com season pass
66:32with code flock. So, um, in the long term, once we are through a bunch of these teams and we have more time, I
66:42will go ahead and I will, um, open team questions back up. But for now, I can only do them for the annual mother
66:50flockers that use code flock um, on the site and also the people who have the season pass who use code flock um, where
66:59they have the free start, sit, and trade questions. But I am sorry about that. We do have to just go ahead and
67:08um prioritize those first before we can open it up to everybody else because obviously um by joining the site with the expectations
67:18that they were going to get that free team review free start and free trade question.
67:24Now anyway going back to Phil's team 16 team league so lower your expectations going to be ugly. Jaylen Herz at quarterback, very strong quarterback for
67:32a 16 team format. We have Bryce Young in 16 team league. There are no starting quarterbacks on the waiverwire. So you
67:37absolutely have to hold on to somebody that we can rely upon. Right. Going over to where we stand at running back. We
67:44are currently sitting with Chase Brown, Saquon Barkley, Jordan Mason. So we have the stud RB1, stud RB2,
67:54wide receiver, Tedo McMillan, Brian Thomas, Quinton Johnson, Michael Pitman, and then tight end we have TJ Hawinson.
68:01So I would say obviously the weakest positions that we have are going to be wide receiver at the top end and then
68:08tight end period. Tight end is garbage.
68:10And I'll be honest with this as well. I am a little concerned about where we stand with this tight end room
68:17considering the fact that our waiverwire at tight end is garbage. Like Aronda Gatston, Eli Sters, Mike Gaseaki.
68:27So if TJ Hawinson repeats what he did last season, there is a very real world scenario in which like you are just
68:35absolutely screwed when it comes to the tight end spot.
68:40because you can't go to the waiver wire and you can't have an easy pivot.
68:44So, that's something that would worry me.
68:48But, oh, Phil's out here in the chat. But yeah, like in terms of making a trade for it, like you can't sell a running
68:59back, you can't sell a receiver. It's a 16 team league, so everybody's going to be weak somewhere, right? So, if you're
69:05going to be weak somewhere, the best place to be weak would be the tight end position. So, realistically, man, I'm going to leave this as is. I don't think
69:14we want to be doing anything with the squad trade-wise. I would be quick to cut Jerry Judy for Aronda Gaston, Eli
69:22Sters, Mike. If they show us anything and anything at all, I'd be quick to cut Jaylen Naylor for like Kron Allen, Malik
69:29Davis as well. Those handcuffed running backs that are potentially an injury away from actually making a difference, but um I think you did what you should have
69:41when it comes to prioritizing the topend running back production and getting startable wide receivers at the same time.
69:50But I really appreciate you and hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this.
69:58Okay, now let's move this over to Chris.
70:01Says, "Hey, brother. Longtime viewer.
70:02Always love the content. I seen I got second on the league rankings. Are there any moves or trades we should make?"
70:08Okay, I'm excited to check this out.
70:12Now, we are the second team. Not only are we the second team, but there's a pretty big drop off from us to like the
70:18mid teams as well.
70:21Um, here we do have Perty on the waiver wire. I'll say Brock Pery is significantly better than a lot of these
70:27other options that you would have on waiverss such as Jordan Love, Malik Willis, Cam Ward. So, what I would probably want to
70:38do here, to be honest, is I'd probably want to pick up Brock Party, like going through and seeing where we stand with our tight end position
70:48currently. I understand we have Jawan Johnson and then nothing behind it other than Chig and maybe Chig like could be playable over Jawan, but I have such low
70:59expectations for Chika Quano. I don't think that he is at any point really going to be somebody that we can be
71:05confident is going to outscore the other guys that we have on the waiverwire at the tight end position.
71:11So, what I would realistically want to do here is I would go through and I'd probably cut Chig and I'd pick up Brock
71:18Perie because there are certain matchups, not this week, but there are certain matchups in which I would just straight up rather have
71:29Pertie over Trevor Lawrence in our lineup. And I would never be able to say that about any of the other quarterbacks
71:34in the Waverwware. So, I make that pivot. And then it's a start eight format. So, running back, wide receiver depth's going to be really important
71:40here. Our lineup consists of Gibbs, Love, Pickings, Higgins, Wadd, Tutin, and then the depth beyond that we have like Godwin, Christian Watson, and
71:49Rashad White. So, if it was a single flex league, I would for sure be trying to go through and sell somebody like say
71:56T Higgins and Jawan Johnson to see if we can get to maybe like an elite tight end like McBride or trying to sell Wadd and
72:03Jawan for Loveland. But because it's a double flex league and it looks like we do need this depth here, um I would
72:10instead keep this as is. Man, I think you got a really good team for this format. I think it's structured incredibly well. I would literally only
72:18cut Chig and pick up Brock Party as I think you'd be more likely in my opinion to go through and start
72:33Brock Pury over Tig based on the construction of your
72:45roster. And then I also think that again if we are looking at what we have with the tight ends on the waiver wire like I
73:04don't think Chig's that much better than any of them. Now let me see from W deck says hey Mason hope everything's well.
73:12My team name is just give me my money.
73:16And I feel pretty good about my team, but I am a bit worried about my flex bots. The league is three wide
73:21receivers, two running backs, and double flex. Okay, so let's go ahead and let's pull this up. So start nine format. So,
73:29it's a little bit of an interesting situation here because if we're looking at where we typically stand in a 10 team
73:40league, I would say, "Oh, okay. Depth's not going to matter, right? Let's just go all in. Let's just go get the best
73:47players that we can at the very top and get yourself an elite quarterback. Get yourself an elite tight end. We're going
73:53to have easy backfield running backs and receivers on the waiverwire."
73:59not the case here because the setup here is it's a start nine format. You have to get three receivers and two flex bots
74:09in. Like right now our two flexes are the combination of Marshon Lloyd and Harold Fannon.
74:19So, like you're in a pretty tough spot when it comes to needing depth. And for
74:31that reason, like you can't push all in to get the elite tight end. You can't push all in to get the elite QB. Now, we
74:38do have Josh Allen. Obviously, we're happy with that. I think the main leverage point that your team is going to have is going to potentially be if
74:47you hit on both of your tight ends because if you do end up hitting on both of your tight ends with the combination
74:54of Craft and Fannon at that point I would very much be wanting to go through and see if we could sell like say Tucker
75:03Craft and Jaylen Warren to get to a significant upgrade at running back. see if you can get to like say Bree Hall,
75:10Javvante Williams, Kairen Williams.
75:13You're not going to be able to do that right now, of course, but um I think as it stands now, you need to
75:20hold on to your depth. But if you do hit on both tight ends, I'd very much be wanting to sell one of the tight ends
75:26for an upgrade at the running back position. But I really appreciate you and hope that I was able to help you out in some way
75:37with this.
75:40Now, let's go over to our next question.
75:41And it's going to be powerless sushi says, "Love the content. Do you have any suggestions on who we should try to
75:47trade for?" Okay, so we are the scatman in this league. We are currently fourth in the league analyzer. It is a two
75:55receiver, one flex format. So, my biggest gripe with your team at the moment, my friend, is going to be the fact that you're sitting in a spot in
76:05which you are rostering one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight wide receivers. I think if you have eight
76:13wide receivers on your team, like there's just no reason for rostering
76:25like Trey Tucker, Jacobe Lane down here at the very bottom. There's almost nothing that can happen for you to go through and put them ahead of Lamb,
76:33Devontto Smith, JMO in your starting lineup. You can only start three of these receivers at the very most. So, for me, I would prefer
76:44rostering the running backs at the very bottom end of our bench.
76:51Like, I think it would be more interesting for us to cut these bottom end wide receivers and see if we can get just backup
76:58Arby's. I would cut Jacobe Lane. I would pick I would cut Trey Tucker. I would pick up Katon Mitchell and Caleb
77:05Johnson. If we get another game in which Romeo Dobs is just a straight up complete dud, then maybe at that point I would also
77:14consider going through and cutting Romeo Dobs to pick up EMTT Johnson. The only reason I wouldn't cut
77:25Romeo Dobs after him giving us the straightup goose egg yesterday is the fact that Like the AJ Brown injury, it sucks. Like
77:40you would think AJ Brown goes down. If I would have told you, hey guys, AJ Brown's going down week one. If I would
77:47have said that before the game, where do you rank Romeo Dobs? You would move Dobs up dramatically your rankings, right?
77:55Like he would be a massive riser. He would be the biggest beneficiary of that.
78:01However, with how bad he looked yesterday, you can't. But anyway, again, I don't think we can cut him just yet because of
78:10the AJ Brown injury.
78:17It'd be damn close, though.
78:25I would just cut the bottom end wide receivers, pick up the top handcuff running backs, and call it a day. and
78:29you'd have a well balanced team, solid across all positions. I don't think you need to make any massive trades with that team. I think you have a good team
78:36here. Again, I would just be interested in potentially going through and probably making that swap
78:51with the construction for the bottom end of the team. But I hope I was able to help you out in some way.
78:59Now, Valiant Storm says, "First time watching Flock, second year of fantasy."
79:04Hell yeah, my guy. Pick sixth in this full PPR, six-point passing touchdown league. Looking forward to watching the Flock for the first time this year.
79:11Thank you so much, my guy. I'm super excited to have you as a member. I'm surprised that um it's awesome. I will
79:19say typically because I'm not advertising or telling people how they can submit their teams.
79:27Um, typically the only people's teams that I'm looking at in these live streams, at least as of right now, are not the new
79:36people because the new people haven't figured out how to submit their teams.
79:39It's only the old people who've been here for a while. So, I'm surprised to see that you've already figured out how
79:44to submit the team, my guy. But I appreciate it and I'm excited to go through and look at this for you.
79:50Now, anyway, this is a spot in which we have Lawrence and Bryce Young at QB. So, not in a great
80:01situation.
80:03We are down here near the bottom of the league when it comes to value. Man, this is a super flex league and quarterback's
80:09pretty damn weak.
80:11Again, we have the combo of Trevor Lawrence and Bryce Young, which in that setup specifically,
80:20like you're just going to be getting outgunned at QB1 most weeks and you're
80:30going to be getting outgunned at QB2 almost every week.
80:36And on top of this, you don't have a QB3 either. So, I'd be concerned here at quarterback running back. Your running back two is
80:47weak with JK Dobbins. Your your running back one's weak as well with Travis CTN.
80:54Here's actually how you got nuked. I'm sorry to say this, my guy. I just now realized it. This is why you have a bad
81:00team. And it's not your fault. You just got unlucky.
81:04But for you to draft Brock Bowers and then get the
81:15Bowowers injury right before the season starts, you were kind of doomed from the get-go.
81:26You just didn't have a chance here, man.
81:31I'm sorry to say that.
81:34And it does suck to say, but you just had a significant hit to your
81:45roster. It's a start 11 league, so the skill personal depth matters so damn much here, man.
81:54You just honestly have to turn into a waiverwire demon because whenever you lose Brock Bowers like this,
82:05you put yourself in a position where you just simply don't have the value to be able to go through and make a
82:11considerable amount of trades.
82:22Like you have to sit on your hands and you just have to hope Bowowers comes
82:37back and is 100% and then he can elevate your team. But man, it's a tough spot there without Bowers in that superflex league. Just because
82:49again, your quarterback positions weak, your running back positions weak when you take the elite tight end. And it may be okay if the elite tight end truly is
82:56elite, but when he's not, it puts you in a really difficult position.
83:03Now, let's move this over to our next one. Doyle no balls knows ball says 10 team full PPR single flex league with
83:10one IR slot. Hey Mason, pretty happy with how the draft turned out but a little nervous about my running backs.
83:16Please let me know your thoughts. Can't wait to see the weekly flock league punishments. I'm going to be honest I was so excited about the punishment idea
83:24that I had. But now that Drake May has absolutely crapped the bed as is, I am now way more concerned than I was.
83:35Okay.
83:39Um, but anyway, looking at this, nervous about our running backs. Let me
83:53know your thoughts. Milk Mile will be goated. It won't be. I mean, it will.
83:59I'm a little bit nervous now. Again, I'm fine doing the Milk Mile. I just don't want to be in a situation in which I'm
84:07having to do like a sing a song or a dance. I that that is honestly what scares me. Um but Okay.
84:42Now, looking at the setup, you do have the number one team in this league. I will say for me personally, I think the
84:50probability that Zack Charbanet makes a difference late in the season is higher than what we have with the probabil I mean sorry is
85:00lower than what we have with the probability of Jordan Tyson. So if we're looking at what player we want on our
85:06injured reserve, I would rather have Jordan Tyson in our injured reserve slot in comparison to Zack Charbanet. So, I
85:16would make that flop here even if you're a little bit shaky at running back. But with them taking Jadarian Price in the
85:22first round, even if Charbanet comes back and he's healthy in the second half of the season, Jarian Price is going to
85:28be the guy. Jerian Price looked good yesterday, too.
85:32Okay. Now, looking at quarterback here, we have the combo of Caleb and Goth. It is a two receiver, one flex format. So,
85:40two wide receiver, one flex. We are very much incentivized to try to build around an elite quarterback and elite tight end
85:46if we can because again the depth not going to matter much here at running back wide receiver. Running back we have
85:52Henry Eten Jerian Price man your running back room strong. I'm not the biggest Derrick Henry guy but I mean this is a
85:59completely fine position to be in at running back.
86:04Now wide receiver we have Jamar Chase Waddle Christian Watson Mike Evans and then we have Bowers at tight end. So, here's the deal.
86:14It sucks to say this. I mean, your team would have been much better before the Bowowers injury. And honestly, after talking with the other creators
86:20yesterday, I actually think I need to move Bowers even further down my ranks, which I'm going to do right now. I'm
86:26still going to have him at tight end, too.
86:29But I think I'm going to move Bowowers down to being like, if we were to draft again today, a third round pick. I think your
86:37team is kind of locked in as is outside of making the Zack Sharpet Jordan Tyson swap for your injured reserve slot.
86:47But what I would look to do is I would probably look at trying to sell like Mike Evans and Caleb
86:59Williams to get to an uptier at quarterback once we get Brock Bowers back in.
87:06And then that also gives us the certainty where we can wait to see if we do have enough depth at wide receiver
87:12and hopefully Mike Evans can acrew some value by that point. So I would eventually look to make a trade in this
87:19kind of format to potentially get an elite quarterback like Allen or Lamar, but I don't think that's something that you can look at doing right this second.
87:30But I really appreciate you and hope that I was able to help you out in some way with this.
87:38Now, let's pull this over to our next one.
87:43Okay, one second.
87:52Okay, this next one's from Sergeant Quail.
87:58says 10 team standard reddraft league.
88:04How does this roster look for a standard league format? Any specific trades I should look at or waiverwire moves I should prioritize. Again, assuming we
88:14are under the same assumption that a standard league is a nonPPR format, we want to be fading wide receiver, fading
88:26tight ends, and built around running backs and hopefully an elite QB just because they're going to be able to take advantage of that scoring format.
88:34Now, let me find our team. And right now, we are the number one team in the league analyzer at wide receiver, which
88:42does scare me.
88:43Quarterback, we are currently sitting with Lamar Jackson. I really like having Lamar Jackson. Again, specifically in a nonPPR format. It is also a 10 team, two
88:55receiver, one flex. So 10 team, two receiver, one flex. Lamar is going to make up a very high percentage of our
89:00starting lineup output.
89:02Going over to running back, we have Genty and Judkins. My concern is if this is a nonPPR format, what we need to try
89:10to optimize for is touchdown upside, touchdown upside, touchdown upside.
89:16And if we're looking at where we stand with these two running backs, they play for the Browns and the Raiders.
89:24I don't necessarily know if that is the most exciting pair to go after for touchdown upside touchdown upside touchdown upside.
89:36Now going over to what we have for wide receiver. We are currently sitting with Jamar Chase,
89:47Malik Neighbors, Garrett Wilson, Christian Watson.
89:56We have Casey Conception as well. Here's the thing. Again, in a nonPR format, I'm probably starting Jaylen Warren over Garrett Wilson. I would love to go
90:05through and try to sell like Wilson and one of our running backs for a significant upgrade.
90:11Like I know you have running back depth pieces which I love that you're building around and I think that is very smart
90:16but like is there a way you could go Jaylen Warren and Garrett Wilson and see if we can get up to say the combination
90:24like Javvante Williams. I think this would be an absolute no-brainer in this style league. Again, no brainer.
90:37But I like that we have the elite quarterback and you have a ton of value on this team as well. I would just try
90:43to maybe move a little of the wide receiver production over to a little more value across running back. I would say also QB, but
90:53you've already done a good job in this kind of league getting a quarterback there. But I really appreciate you and hope I was able to help you out. And
91:00again, if you were able to make that two for one deal, you could pick up Wandell for free. But obviously, we can safely
91:08say that Wandelle is just much less interesting in a non-PR format than he would be in a full PPR league.
91:16Okay, now let's go over to our next question here. This next one's going to be from Sinarius.
91:26Says, "Happy with my team. just looking for a better flex option since I don't trust Mike Evans. Okay, I'll say again,
91:33it isn't that big of a deal if we end up having to just wait and see what Mike Evans looks like, right?
91:42Like if we see Mike Evans look solid tonight, maybe all of a sudden you feel
91:52completely different about it. Now, we are currently in a setup in which I think there's a very easy waiverwire pivot for us to make.
92:01I mean, if we are currently sitting with Katon Mitchell on our roster, in my opinion, there is a 0% chance that Katon
92:11Mitchell ends up beating out say Amari and Hampton.
92:24I would personally probably want to go through and probably want to pivot from Katon Mitchell over instead to like Chris Rodriguez where maybe it's
92:35unlikely. But I do think that there is a chance in which Rodriguez is a better option
92:45if we needed a desperation start at running back and he could beat out Bashel too and that is in the range of
92:51outcomes. So, I would cut Katon Mitchell. I would pick up Rodriguez.
92:56Obviously, assuming Tank Dell's on the IR. If he's not on the IR, you cut him for Jacobe Myers in a heartbeat. And
93:03then in terms of our starting lineup after this, I would agree with you. Like maybe Mike Evans isn't the strongest flex play, but what would the deal be to
93:11get off of him? Like it's not like you have a name down there on your bench that has a tremendous amount of trade
93:17value that you'd easily be able to go through and trade with Evans to get to an upgrade.
93:39like nobody's sending you an elite receiver for Jonathan Brooks and Mike Evans or for Jordan Mason and Mike Evans. So, I think you may have to wait
93:47until after week one and maybe if you get a pop from one of those running backs, then at that point you could go
93:53through and you could look at making a move like that.
94:08But for now, I would make that one simple waiverwire pivot. Wait until after you get a running back pop. And then at that point, maybe you have a
94:15little bit more flexibility for you to go through and for you to actually make a trade there where we are upgrading at
94:21the flex. But until then, I don't think you can.
94:24Now, let's move this over to fantasy linebacker. Says, "Not listed rule. Must start a rookie in one flex spot." That is hilarious.
94:33So, obviously, if you have to start a rookie in one flex spot, um you are very much going to be in a position in which
94:41you are heavily incentivized to go through and get a top rookie on your team.
94:52We are 99 problems, but Bejon But a Bejon won.
94:59Let me see if I can find our team in the league analyzer. Does look like we changed our team name. We're the Justin
95:05Herbert team.
95:07We have Bejon and Bree. So yeah, I would expect us to be the number one team in the league with value in terms of
95:18the league analyzer, which does look to be the case.
95:23quarterback. We have the combo of Justin Herbert, Brock Party.
95:31So, we can just play the matchups here quite comfortably, right? Running back, we have Bejan Bree, Jeremiah Love. Man, the League Analyzer has you as the third
95:39best team in this league, but I would reiterate if this is a spot in which you have to start a rookie in your flex.
95:56Some of your league mates are going to be starting the grossest names possible and you are just going to have a
96:01significant advantage by having Jeremiah love there.
96:27So man, you got an incredible team. We have McGomery in our second flex spot.
96:31Wide receiver, we have Lad Watson, Evans, we have Concincaid. This is a perfect team. Literally unbelievable.
96:38This is best case scenario here.
96:41It's like even down there on the bench, we are optimizing for those running backs that could spike if you see an
96:47injury in front of them, man. Perfect team. I don't do a single thing.
96:54If you end up getting like say Ashen Genty reinjuring his ankle, then maybe at that point you could go
97:05through and you could decide, oh, all right, let me see if we can maybe m move Mike Washington and Dalton
97:17Concade and get a significant upgrade at tight end. Like maybe there becomes a trade available if one of our bench running backs spikes in value. But until
97:28then, this is again like best case scenario with the team. You are in a phenomenal spot here.
97:37But I wouldn't do a single thing. I freaking love it.
97:44Okay, now I have gotten through a lot of team reviews, but what we need to make sure we do before the games kick off
97:52today, right, is we need to make sure we answer all the start, set, and trade questions. So, I'm going to pull up the
97:57start, set it, and trade questions on the site, but I do also want to make sure that we are able to get to a lot of
98:03the people in the live chat right now.
98:06and send y'all over free questions as well. So, please, if you are in the live chat right now and you want to enter in
98:14to win some um free questions for these live streams, all you need to do is drop a like on the stream and then type your
98:24flockfantasy.com username into the live chat. You do those two things. you drop a like on the stream, you type your flockfantasy.com
98:32username into the chat. We will be able to go through and send over a couple free questions to people hanging out
98:37with us right now. So, let me pull up the sites where we can find your names.
98:46And also, after I updated my rankings here, I want to see who has the most valuable team.
98:59in the flock league. And who's gotten nuked?
99:03The editors, Staxs and Stone, Nathan.
99:05I'm surprised Zufa didn't fall harder with me nuking Brock Bowers in the ranks.
99:11But anyway, let's go through. Um, five merge says, "How many days behind are the reviews? One day. If you submitted a
99:19team review on flockfantasy.com today, most likely it should be reviewed tomorrow.
99:25If you submit a worst case scenario, it's reviewed on Saturday, but um good chance it is today. Now, let's send over
99:34some free questions to Zeboast who says his claims that his team is goated here, but let me go ahead and see if I can
99:43find you on the site, my friend.
99:44Appreciate you hanging out with us in the chat. Did I spell that correctly? I did spell that correctly. I cannot find
99:51you. I don't know if you use code flock when you signed up. If not, you should be able to add it to your account page.
99:57Um, and that way I can find you next time. Now, let me see if I can find KN.
100:04Just found you, my guy. Really appreciate you and excited to go through and check out your stuff. I see that you've been with us for a very long
100:12time, which I very much appreciate that, my guy. And I just went ahead and sent you over some free questions. Now, let's
100:18send this over to Seth 816 as well. we'll send you over some free questions.
100:25Just found you and just sent some stuff in your direction. Really appreciate you hanging out with us. I see that you've
100:31been um with us for a while as well.
100:34Thank you, my guy. Now, let's go over to Culio here for the flex. We need to look
100:42at starting one of Roma, Janelle, and Godwin. You're going to go ahead and probably play Godwin with this just being the perfect matchup for him.
100:53Fantasy Wizard trading Evans for Alec Pierce. It' be a horrendous trade. You want Mike Evans and it's not close. Prao trading Caleb to down tier to Goff. Bree
101:02to stay the same with Jeremiah Love and Concaid to go to Coulson Lovelin. For me, I would prefer the Caleb Williams
101:11side of this with this being a superflex format in particular. one quarterback format maybe a little bit different but um super flex give me Caleb.
101:22Okay, now J Shep here for the flex.
101:33Your best running back would be Rashad White which would be gross. Our best wide receiver which would be Mai Lemon would be gross as well. I actually
101:41probably play Mai Lemon that you are maybe the only person all week I'm going to tell to play Lemon. But here's the
101:48deal with Rashad White.
101:51The Commanders project to be one of the worst offenses in the league this year.
101:59And on top of that, you sprinkle in the fact that we don't even know if he is going to have a large role. Like, he could just
102:10be the full-blown backup running back in this backfield.
102:15So, yeah, very tough spot for me to ever go through and suggest that somebody plays Rashad White there. I would not.
102:24Um, now a zip here for the flex. We're looking at Hubard or Godwin. I'm going to go Godwin because Jonathan Brooks
102:32going to play. Brooks was going to miss.
102:33I'd go Hubard.
102:35Now, our next one from B. Hansen trading away Quinton Johnson to Alec Pierce.
102:40Slight down tier. Marshall Lloyd to Tucker Craft. Probably prefer Craft.
102:44Looking at tight end, we have Brock Bowers, though. So, man, I don't know.
102:48Like, I'll mark this as like kind of a win-win deal. But here's the situation.
102:55Do you need Tucker Craft if you have Bowers? What happens if Bowowers is back in three weeks? And that's how long it
103:01takes Tucker Craft to ramp up with his knee.
103:05If I have Brock Bowers, like definitely, don't get me wrong, I'm investing off in a tight end off the waiverwire. I'll go
103:12after one quite aggressively, but at the same time, I don't necessarily think that you need to go through and you need to trade for a
103:20tight end such as Tucker Craft. Again, I don't think that's a necessity here.
103:29Now, let's go over to our next question.
103:31This is going to be Dur Plan here. Our best name on the bench currently, if we were to swap somebody out, it' probably
103:37be Blake Cororm, but yeah, no way in hell you're getting Blake Cororm in that lineup. Good team. Leave it as is. Dude,
103:44it's Devin here. Currently, our best name on the bench if we were to get somebody in would be Quinton Johnston.
103:51And I actually would play Quinton Johnson over actually no you have to go Quinton Johnson in the um in wide receiver. And then the question is do we
104:00play Harold Fannon or one of these other names in the flex? I would play Jordan Addison over Harold Fannon personally.
104:07One, I never want to flex the tight ends.
104:11And two, on top of that, like the Cleveland Browns project to score 16
104:24points.
104:31So I think I would have to have lowered expectations.
104:41Okay.
104:47Now our next question is going to be coming out from Matt V here. double flex
105:00play Bucky for sure and then Christian Watson as well. Watson over Terry for me easily based on how bad the commanders
105:07offense projects like if you can avoid it bench all your commanders. I'm afraid the commanders are going to look like how the Patriots did yesterday.
105:16Now Lil Arurer starting Caleb at quarterback. Running back we have DeAndre Swift. Wide receiver London Tigens are our auto starts. Tight end
105:24Andrews with no Bowers. And then in the flex spots, we're gonna go Brian Thomas.
105:29Actually, damn. We're gonna go B shell Tutin over Brian Thomas. And then it kind of comes down to do we want the guy
105:37that we know what his role is going to look like with Terry McLuren or do instead we want to maybe go through and
105:43bank on the upside of the offense of Brian Thomas. Week one, I probably play Terry McLaren here. Again, I wouldn't be
105:52that excited to do so, but it is what it is. Now, Clover's trading away Pickkins to Nico Collins lateral move, but Jaylen
106:00Wadd to Crystal Lave is an uptier. So, yes, I would go ahead and I would make this trade.
106:08Now, our next question is going to be from Seahawks fan. Tight end, we're looking at Jawan Johnson or George KD.
106:14I'm going to go Jawan Johnson this week because I think Jawan is going to smash.
106:20Obviously, we need to be slightly hesitant with how we rank George KD as of right now. Um, I still like KD. I'm
106:29not gonna say that you can't go through and play him. Obviously, you can, but I don't know. Um, Jawan Johnson with no
106:40Jordan Tyson is going to have such a large role in this offense.
106:45Now, Valiant Storm here, it's a start 11 league. And in that last flex spot, we're looking at Dobbins, Algier, or Aaron Jones. I hate the match up for
106:56Dobbins. I hate the fact that he's also not going to catch the ball.
107:01But with that being said, like
107:11Tyler Algier is unstartable assuming that you do get Jeremiah Love playing and Jeremiah Love good to go. Like there's no way that you
107:22could go through and put Algier in your lineup.
107:26Okay, now our next question is going to be from CMC trading away ETN
107:35and Christian Watson for Nico Collins.
107:46Okay, for me I have ETN and Christian Watson on my own team and I would not make this
107:57trade, but that is because I am playing in a 12 team start eight format where the depth does indeed matter.
108:06Your situation's a little bit different.
108:08It's a 10 team league. Your running back room looks good. So, in a 10 team league where also your options on the
108:15waiverwire are going to be better as well. Yeah, let's go ahead and let's make this move.
108:21Okay.
108:24Now, and we just got official word AJ Brown four weeks. Let me see what the report is. Thank you for letting me know, chat.
108:32Um, if they're telling us four weeks right now, that's literally at the minimum four weeks. It could be a lot more.
108:44AJ Brown from Rapaort expected to miss at least four weeks.
108:52Let me see if I can find a video of Rapaort talking about this. Okay, perfect. Let me get this ready for
108:59y'all.
109:03I need to Twitter's become unusable on Safari. I can only use it on Chrome and I haven't gotten used to that yet. Okay,
109:10so let's watch this. This is the Ian Rapaort statement regarding um these guys and I don't know if we can watch it
109:18if there is gameplay, but y'all can hear this.
109:21>> Yeah, certainly a scary situation. Went from the field to the blue tent to the hospital to get a CT scan because after
109:28the X-ray there's no CT scan in the stadium. Also had an MRI today. A battery of tests for Sam Darnold. My
109:34understanding is this is as good as anyone could have possibly expected.
109:39Dodged a bullet in the words of one source. So Darnold, who is dealing with what is described as a hip injury, did
109:45not suffer a fracture. That is one thing that the test ruled out. That is a good thing. Is expected to miss next week's
109:52game. So Drew Lock going to get the start. But after that, actually from last night's game has 17 days until week
109:58three against the Commanders. At least there is a shot at that one. Either way, just a couple weeks for Darnold. And
110:03then for AJ Brown, the Patriots star receiver. He had an MRI earlier today to confirm the initial diagnosis, which was a high ankle sprain. MRI, I'm told, did
110:10in fact confirm that. AJ Brown expected to be out at least four weeks. So, at least four weeks for the New England
110:14Patriots. Ankle sprains are generally four to six. It depends on how he is healing, but the Patriots moving forward are not going to have their star
110:19receiver.
110:20>> God, that sucks.
110:24Let me go through and let me update. Let me show y'all where I had AJ Brown in my rankings as of this morning.
110:36And I think I get to play the AJ Brown owner, which is the dev team in week four. So, I think I get to play them
110:46with no AJ Brown. So, let me I'll pull this up, but I need to make a clip for the Flock League.
110:53Absolutely devastating injury news. Sam Darnold is going to be missing week two.
110:57So, what I did is I ran over, looked at my week two opponent, and went, "Oh, he has JSN." Check, please. Then I heard,
111:04"Oh, AJ Brown's going to be out at least four weeks." Naturally, what did I do? I went, "Oh, um, let me scurry the
111:10schedule, figure out when I'm playing the AJ Brown owner." So, it's in week four.
111:16Yeah, Drake May fumbled the bag for us.
111:19Not going to lie. But it does look like our defense is coming to fruition yet again.
111:28Okay. Sorry about that, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry you had to see that.
111:31Sorry you had to see me acting a fool, but it had to be done. Had to be done. Let me go ahead and send that clip
111:40in the Flock League chat.
111:47Okay.
111:52And I just pulled up my rankings of where we had AG Brown before this. Let me go ahead and scroll. AJ Brown, what I
112:00had updated him for is I had updated him to wide receiver 21 in my rankings.
112:12Now, after we get the word that he is officially out at least four weeks, keep in mind that's weeks 2, three,
112:21four, five, he probably misses week six, seven if they're telling us already today that it's at least four. When's
112:29the AG When's the Patriots by week?
112:36Patriots have a week 11 buy. I don't want to extrapolate too far, but I was going to say maybe it sucks that
112:44they don't have like a week five buy where obviously he was going to miss that week regardless this point. Who would y'all rather have,
112:56AJ Brown or DJ Moore? Spam the chat.
113:01AJ Brown or DJ Moore, who would you rather have in your fantasy league?
113:11Please let me know.
113:23We got more AJ Brown. More more Brown.
113:26More uh more Brown.
113:29More more more Brown. More more more.
113:34What about Agy? Which again, I agree with that. I just moved AJ Brown below DJ Moore. What about AJ Brown versus
113:42Christian Watson?
113:45AJ Brown or Christian Watson? Who would you rather have in your league?
113:56And God, this freaking nukes Zua Zufa's team.
114:01I'm sorry. Yeah, I I actually need to delete that. I no this manukes the devs team. Zufad Brock Bowers. It's getting a
114:10little confused. Okay, we got Brown.
114:12Brown. Brown. Brown. Brown. Brown.
114:13Brown. Okay. Looks like everybody is on the AJ Brown side. So, I'm going to leave AJ Brown pencled out there at like
114:18wide receiver 26. The thing with these injured guys is every week that goes on, I'm going to move him up my rankings a
114:25little bit higher whenever he is closer to returning from his injury. So, like next week he'll probably be at wide receiver 24, I mean 23ish. The week
114:34after he'll probably move up to wide receiver 20-ish. The week after wide receiver 18. The week after wide receiver 15 to the point where when he
114:43is back, he'll probably be back around wide receiver 12. So, when these guys first get injured, I'm nuking them in my
114:49rankings. And then slowly but surely, every week that goes by and they get closer to playing, we move them up.
114:58But let me go ahead and update that and let's move over to the start sit question here. We need a tight end
115:08between Craft and Jawan Johnson. Jawan Johnson for me is pro like again the more we look at it the more I get
115:15excited about the ability to start Jawan Johnson this week.
115:24Okay.
115:28Now Lil Gupta trading away Reed and Harold Fannon for DK Mechaf.
115:36We have Lovelin so we don't need Fannon.
115:38So I'm fine if you wanted to do this but I would assume that you could probably get more value.
115:45Okay.
115:46Now our next one's from no Instagram.
115:49longtime member of the flock here says, "Hey, Mason, I'm trying to get the wide receiver down to either JO or Burden,
115:55but should I just take JT and run 10 team league wide receiver?"
116:00Afterwards, you'd have JSN, Burden, JMO, and Brian Thomas as your wide receiver.
116:06Four, and you have three startable running backs. So, here's the deal. This trade, the valuewise is definitely on the Amari and Hampton. Again, like you
116:15were mentioning, if you could keep Devont Smith and instead it's Jameson Williams, then it flips to the Taylor side. But I am fine with you making this
116:24trade regardless if they're playing hard ball and they won't go through and send you
116:42JT for Hampton and JO.
116:50you can't accept the other one. It's a 10 team format, so it is close. But I will say for like a 12 team league, like
116:58if it was the flock league, I have Jonathan Taylor and I would sell him for Jonathan Taylor and Devont Smith in a
117:03heartbeat.
117:05Now Dut with our next start set. This is Jawan Johnson or Michael Mayer and Dalton Schultz. It's Jawan Johnson easily. Jawan Johnson set up the smash.
117:14This team's going to have to throw the ball a ton and at the same time they have no Jordan Tyson.
117:19Now Jace with our next question. Um this is Genty Price AJ Brown for Bree Scat and
117:29Jefferson. Jefferson best player in the deal. And now that I've nuked AJ Brown in my ranks, yes, I would go ahead and
117:36do this. I wouldn't have done this yesterday morning. I'll tell you that much. But now very very different setup.
117:44Okay. Now, our next one's also from Jace. Start sit. Right now, our best player down here on the bench is gonna
117:53be Jordan Addison. If you were to get Addison in your lineup, you'd have to take out like Bay Shell Tutin, which
117:58we're not going to do. So, leave that as is.
118:01Now, our next question coming out from Retro Trading Higgins and DJ Moore for Drake London and Tua. This is a superflex format
118:12where quarterback you are garbage. I would have said easily the Tua and Drake London side in the superflex league
118:21before the Tua injury today.
118:26Now that we had that Tua injury, it's much tougher for me to go through and tell you to make that deal. So again,
118:34this is now going to be up to you.
118:38But I think a lot of it is going to come down to what ends up happening with Tua.
118:55Okay.
118:58And I wouldn't make a trade until we know that two is healthy and two is playing this week. Let me go ahead. And
119:03honestly, I know this annoys y'all, but I'm going to do it anyway because this is legitimately what I would do if I was
119:11sponsored or not. I wouldn't show it on the live stream if I wasn't sponsored, but I promise you I would do this if I
119:17was sponsored or not. Trying to figure out like the injury stuff on if a quarterback like that's going to be playing.
119:26The easiest way to go about it is seeing what where is the money going, right?
119:34Where do the prediction markets have it?
119:37Because that's where the sharpest money is going to be and that's where we can actually see changes over time. So, here's my read with the TUA stuff. And I
119:46know y'all gonna roll your eyes, but before we got the report of Tua being injured,
119:55we had Atlanta Pittsburgh 64% chance for Pittsburgh, 37% chance for Atlanta to win this game. The second we got the word that Tua may be missing, I know
120:06y'all don't like Tua, but the percent chance that Atlanta wins did drop considerably down to 32%. So, this tells me this Tua
120:16injury is something.
120:19It's definitely not nothing. So, and again, every time I show this, I do have to say this for regulations, but of
120:26course, we are sponsored by Poly Market US. If y'all wanted to check out any of this stuff on Poly Market US, it's
120:32available in 49 out of 50 states. If you find the link in the description in the comment section, code flock will get you
120:39$50 added to your account after you play your first I'm sorry after you deposit your first 10.
120:46But anyway, let's go over to starving Marvin quarterback. I'm going to go with between Perty and Baker. It's incredibly difficult. Baker has the much better
120:56matchup between the two of these guys.
121:00If we are looking at Pury going up against the Rams defense, he's also playing on the other side of the planet.
121:05Baker gets to go up against a really soft Cincinnati team where the overunder is 50 and a half points.
121:13So, it's damn close. I have them like three spots apart. I still probably go pretty, but I wouldn't fault you at all
121:19for going Baker. And then in this flex spot, we have to play Chris Godwin most likely, unless they tell us, "Hey, Roman
121:28Dun is 100% with no hold up at all."
121:31Now, moving over to Fantasy Wizard again, Mike Evans over Alec Pierce, and it's not even remotely close for me.
121:37Salty trading away James Cook upgrading to Bejon. Rasheed Rice downgrading to AJ Brown. Based on the latest word we have with AJ Brown, it is a tough trade to
121:48make.
121:50It depends on what you'd be starting at receiver. This would be your wide receiver room after.
121:57I would hold on to James Cook and Rasheed Rice right now because you not only have the injury question mark regarding AJ Brown himself, but if Tua
122:06and Michael Penn are both injured, it does negatively impact Bon.
122:13Now Sam says for the tight end spot, Mayor Ferg Schultz and Jooku or Waller.
122:18Well, first for quarterback, Kyler over Mahomes this week based on matchup. Wide receiver play neighbors for sure. Tight end, I will go Michael Mayer over the
122:27Actually, no. Michael Mayer, Jake Ferg, incredibly close. Like I am maybe very excited to see Michael Mayer. Really good prospect. I want to believe he's a
122:36really good player. I probably play Michael Mayer to be honest because the thing is as well, this team has Cousins has nobody else to throw the ball to.
122:43And then in the flex, I'm going to go Christian Watson over DJ Moore this week with DJ Moore having a really tough
122:48match up against Houston.
122:51Now, let's move this over to Monk trading away Brian Thomas for Parker Washington. 99% of people will tell you to go Parker Washington here. I have
123:00them ranked backtoback. I personally still prefer Brian Thomas, but I want to be very clear and very honest with you.
123:10I am on an island. I am one of the very few people that would prefer Brian Thomas, which most likely means that I
123:18am wrong. So, I'm going to mark both sides as a winner because it is up to your personal preference. Now, Lakey
123:24Flush, you start quarterback. Running back, you're going to go with the combo of Chase Brown as well as um a probably
123:30Bree Hall here. That spread on that game is only a point and a half. Wide receiver and Puka your auto starts tight
123:37end KD over Hawinson. And then in the flex we're going to go with Nico Collins quite comfortably.
123:44Now our next question that we have is going to be from Kim says, "Am I trading Gibbs and Flowers for JT and Hampton?"
123:53Gibbs to JT clear downgrade. Flowers to Hampton clear upgrade. Depends um how bad you need a you need a running back.
124:00Your wide receiver room's loaded and your running back room is very weak.
124:03though. Um, hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate trading away Jamir Gibbs, but yeah, I probably do so in this
124:12instance.
124:13Now CK here for the flex. We have Wadd, Christian Watson, Godwin, and Wandale.
124:24I'm going to go Waddle. I don't like it though because Wadd has a tougher matchup than Watson.
124:30But I think I would be very like if I told you to go Watson there, I don't think you can trust me given the
124:38fact I have Watson on my own team.
124:41Okay, now Purple Cow with our next one.
124:44Trading away Raadre and Jaylen Wadd for Kairen Williams and AJ Brown.
124:53Okay.
124:58Raadre to Kirn, clear upgrade. Waddle to Brown, clear downgrade. Here's the deal with this man.
125:07You have to make it because it's such a shallow format that you're going to easily be able to backfill the depth of
125:14AJ Brown with no problem here.
125:17So, you have to go ahead and do this where maybe in another spot it wouldn't make sense for somebody else.
125:25Now, Lee Fantasy with our next one.
125:31Okay, real quick. Let me refresh this.
125:34Um, Titans, we go KD over Schultz pretty easily. And then Flexbot, I'm going Watson over Thomas and Brooks pretty easily as well.
125:44Okay, now lick my Tate here for the flex.
125:51You play either Pitman or Quinton Johnson. I'm probably going to go with Quinton Johnston. I know this is such they're like right next to each other in
125:59my rankings and I know this is such a minor tier break between them but I will say that
126:07um if we are looking at say Michael Pitman I almost think it's worse and again I know this is such a small
126:19thing and you shouldn't do your deal based on this but I do think that if Tua misses, the Pittsburgh Steelers
126:32may not have to throw the ball very often. They may be able to just run the ball consistently in the second half.
126:37Like it may just be the ugliest game ever if the Atlanta Falcons are really rolling out with a third string quarterback,
126:44which I will say it is a crazy thing for you to be rolling out with a third string quarterback week one.
126:54Week one going with the third string is ludicrous.
126:58Now Gifty here at quarterback between Lamar and Mahomes, you go Lamar easily this week. running back Walker, Chase Brown, your auto starts. Going over to
127:07wide receiver, we are going to have the combo of Puka, Flowers, Wilson. Tight ends, we go KD or Jawan
127:18Johnson. I may go Jawan Johnson to be honest. And then in the flex spot, you are going to go Mike Evans. I'd actually
127:23put Evans where Wilson is though and put Wilson in the flex just because anybody who plays early, we would rather not put
127:30them in the flex spot just in case something happens with one of our other players later.
127:36But let me go ahead and look at this for GMOD trading away Walker
127:44Neighbors for James Cook and Josh Allen.
127:49Quarterback, we have Dart and Kyler.
127:51Here's the deal. If this was a really shallow format, I'd probably want to make this move.
127:58If this was a really shallow league, I think you would go through. I think you would.
128:05Just take the best running back in the deal and the elite quarterback. But this is a double flex 12 team league, so the
128:11depth is going to matter. And you're just fine playing the matchups between Dart and Kyler. So, I would not do it in
128:19your league settings here. I think you hold on to Kenneth Walker and Malik Neighbors. Now, Reyes, um, didn't submit a trade question here, at least not
128:27properly. I'm going to send you over another free trade question voucher so you can resubmit whenever you want.
128:31Beto, always happy to see you. My guest says, "Hey, Mason, I am devastated with the AJ Brown injury. Bad punishment if I
128:37come in." Oh, I'm sorry, man.
128:42AJ Brown injury. Not only bad punishment if we come in last, but I just realized we are frozen. Let me switch that
128:50around. But on top of this, you are in a situation in which do you have Drake May and AJ Brown?
129:02If you have May and AJ Brown, man, like Breeze Tudin at running back, wide
129:12receiver, AJ Brown, St. Brown, tight ends, you have Lovelind Flex.
129:18I mean, I guess you're starting like Quinton Johnson and R.J. Harvey. Here's the deal, man. It absolutely sucks.
129:27I think you honestly may need to go through and you may need to dear God.
129:38You may need to sell Coulson Lovel to backfill running back wide receiver depth. running back wide receiver depth in that league matters and you are in a
129:46horrible spot.
129:49Now Gstack says Adams for Swift straight up thin at running back. Yes, if you're thin at running back, go ahead and make
129:54that move. Big Mo here for the flex between Cardinal Tate or Chuba Hubard.
129:59Um I'm probably going to go with Hubard here. Good game environment against the Bears.
130:05Um obviously if they tell us before that game gets kicked off, hey just heads up, Jonathan Brooks, good to Jonathan Brooks
130:12is the starter, yada yada yada, then I will reserve the ability to change my mind on that, but I would look to avoid
130:20starting Cardell Tate if we can. Of course, easier said than done in a lot of spots. Now, Flock Nasty says, "What
130:27do you think about this trade? Us down tiering from Higgins to Devonte Adams and us up tiering from Montgomery to Breeze Hall.
130:41I'm not the biggest breeze guy, but I do like the value here. I'm fine with you making this. I'll say you may end up
130:48looking like an idiot this week, though, because specifically this week, I mean, you are truly just going to have I mean, a T. Higgins master class. T.
131:01Higgins is about to go insane.
131:08Now thin blue line with our next team here. Trading away Cardell Tate for David McGomery. I would do this
131:18Ryan going AJ Brown and Chig to Luther Burden Tucker Craft. I would rather have Luther Burden over AJ Brown right now.
131:27So yes, go ahead and make this move.
131:31Yes, I think you should.
131:33Okay, now our next one's T-Benz tight end between KD and Jawan Johnson.
131:41I'm going to go Jawan Johnson this week.
131:43And then you go Waddle down here in the flex over like Marshon Lloyd. Um Waddle, tough matchup, but you're pretty damn
131:48confident he's going to be used as the wide receiver one there. Now Nick 444.
131:53Real quick, I need to text um the editors. We're going to do another um watch party for tonight's game on the
132:01Flock League YouTube channel.
132:14Okay.
132:16Kairen and JMO two Justin Jefferson.
132:18It's Jefferson. It's not close. 10 team, two receiver, one flex league. You get the best player and you run. Massive remark here in the flex. We are looking
132:27at Jonathan Brooks or Tyler Algier. Very clear for me. It is Jonathan Brooks if Jeremiah Love plays. If Jeremiah Love misses, it's Tyler Algier. Very, very
132:37clear move. Now, Aaron Whale here for the flex.
132:43We're going to go ahead and we are going to play most likely between Chris Godwin, Brian Thomas. I have them ranked
132:48effectively backtoback. I think you can flip a coin. If you ask me this question a hundred times, I may give you 50
132:54answers one way, 50 answers the other way. But and yeah, we just got an additional update with AJ Brown that he could miss
133:02up to six weeks, which again is the expectations there.
133:06There's discussions on if short-term IR stint will be required. Um I bet he probably finds himself on the short-term IR.
133:15Okay. Yeah. So, we're going to do the watch party um on the Flock League channel, which I'm super excited about to be honest with y'all. I mean, now it
133:23means that I'm live streaming like eight hours a day, which my health is gonna take a massive hit this football season. It's just like
133:34it's just going to there's no getting around it.
133:38Um like I'm not working out at all anymore at this point, which is the first time in my life I can say that since I was 16
133:49years old.
133:51But I'm not working out at all. I'm eating bad. I'm sitting at a desk for 16 hours a day.
134:02I'm going to be looking rough by the end of this football season. I'm going to be looking rough.
134:10Okay. But FJ trading Swift Lloyd Washington for Neighbors. Man, it's a nine team league.
134:19Go get the best player. Go get Malik Neighbors.
134:23Now, South Florida Doug, I'm sorry, South Florida dog. You play Hampton. Hampton's like the smash running back of the week playing against
134:31the Cardinals. Wide receiver Neighbors seems like he's a mustart name as well.
134:35And I'm going to go Travis ETN down here in the flex with a super highscoring game environment. But Neighbors has a
134:39great matchup. And correct me if I'm wrong, chat, but everything that I've been told is that Malik Neighbors is going to be a-ok. Okay. And he's going
134:50to be playing tomorrow. I mean, Sunday night.
134:56Okay.
135:03Now, our next one from Banana Blaster is Gainwell London for Hampton Tyson.
135:10London to Hampton. Give me Hampton.
135:12Gainwell to Tyson. Tyson's a zero if you don't have an Irish slot, but I really like him in the second half of the year.
135:17So I would go ahead and I would take the Amari and Hampton side of this especially if Tua is now injured.
135:26Balln knower trading away Dvont Smith and Tyler Warren for Bashel Tutin and Brock Bowers.
135:34Warren de Bowers is still an upgrade.
135:36Devont Smith to Tutin is such a downgrade though I would not do if Bowowers was really only going to miss two weeks then it's the Bower side here
135:44pretty clearly. But if you're trading for Bowers, I think you need the deal to make sense even if he misses a month.
135:59So I again I like the stones of somebody
136:18coming through and saying, "Hey, I'm going to go and get Brock Bowers right now, but if you're doing it, we need a
136:24big discount."
136:27Now, retro with our next question. We need help with our superflex spot between Cousins and Penn. I mean, PennX just simply isn't going to play. So,
136:37obviously, you have Cousins here. And then down in the flex, oh, we need to I guess we just kind of filled this out
136:43wrong. Go Bejian Robinson here at running back. And then down in the flex, we're looking at like Christian Watson, Brian Thomas, or Quinton Johnson, or one
136:50of the running backs. You go Christian Watson here. Again, no Jonathan Brooks.
136:54Week one, my expectations are Christian Watson rocks it.
136:59I am very biased and honestly I am I would have I'm gonna look this up off the stream. So I'm just gonna do it on
137:06the stream with y'all as well anyway because I want to see what do the market makers have Christian Watson at right now on Poly Market US. They have
137:23obviously it close to being a 50-50 coin flip. Who wins the game? I mainly want to see the Christian Watson stuff.
137:32God dang, my monitor keeps going out.
137:36But anyway, right now receiving yards, Christian Watson, they have a 58% chance he has 50 or more. 36% chance for 60 or
137:44more.
137:50I I like them. I'm going to start them.
137:52And obviously, I have to put this disclaimer on the screen every time I pull that up. Um, sponsored by Poly Market US, obviously. Now, let me go
138:02over to our next one.
138:05Next batch of questions going to be led off with Eric here trading away Henry and Diggs for Genty and Ibuka. Henry to
138:12Genty upgrade. Digs to Eggbuka upgrade.
138:16Nob brainer. You do this in a heartbeat.
138:19Dubzilla here for the flex.
138:24Luther Burton.
138:26Like here's the deal. Luther Burton I think you have to start. DJ Moore has a tough matchup. And then obviously if we
138:33go ahead and we look at Jeremiah Love, Cardinals project out to be horrendous.
138:38Jeremiah Love coming off a high ankle sprain. Like it would be nice to avoid Jeremiah Love if you can.
138:51Let me look at where I put Love versus DJ Moore in my flex rankings. this week.
138:55This is why I literally had to look up where they are. I have Love at 51, DJ Moore at 50 in my flex rankings this
139:04week. It's so damn close. I think it's close to the point where you really need to be just listening to what's coming out of Arizona because
139:12Jeremiah Love very easily could be the right call. But I think here we probably go DJ Moore.
139:20Okay, now our next one's gonna be from Dana.
139:30And real quick, let me give a shout out.
139:31I see Derek out in the chat. If you all don't know, Dererick has been a member of the flock for um ever since I've been
139:37alive pretty much. It's been so long.
139:39But anyway, Dana, play KD over Michael Mayer today. Wide receiver, we're going to go ahead. We're going to take Godwin over Brian Thomas and Well given the
139:47match up against Cincy. But Ibuka did practice in full. So with Ibuka practicing in full, I'm pumped. Now Devin P here for the flex. It's either
139:59Quinton Johnson. We're going to go Bay Shalt Tutin. I think you play the running back where his team's an eight and a half point favorite. They're going
140:04to be able to run over and over again.
140:06Okay.
140:09Toast with the most with Kamar coming back apparently. Should I be concerned with ETN? Here's the deal. I have Travis ETN on my team and Dalvin Kamar coming
140:17back very much does concern me.
140:20So, I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna pull up what we have here. Um because what's the latest Alvin Kamara update?
140:31If Kamara plays this week, I'm pissed.
140:34Running back Alvin Kamar is quote unquote two weeks ahead of schedule and expects him to play on Sunday. What the hell?
140:48Kamar's playing this week.
140:59God dang. I'm gonna have to freaking move ETN down my rankings.
141:08Oh my gosh, that sucks.
141:13Literally sucks for me, not for Kamara and sucks for ETN. Now Jay Hindo scat to Hampton. Massive upgrade. Ala Flowers
141:23downgrade. Quinton Johnson a Watson upgrade and we're paying Brock Bowers to get it done.
141:28Let me see what tight end we have.
141:31If you have no other tight ends, I would be afraid of making this deal.
141:37However, if you add another tight end like Craft, then of course then at that point, sure, a little bit of a different
141:42setup. But if you have no tight end, I probably don't want to. Now here, BBO, please play Sam Leaporta over Michael
141:50Mayer. I think you have to do that. And god dang, my computer monitor keeps on going in and out of black.
141:59Gavin trading Jarian Price and T.
142:00Higgins for Justin Jefferson. It is a deeper format, but running back, you're chilling. You got three guys. So yeah, I think you can afford to do this.
142:09Drip with D sauce quarterback between Mahomes and Kyler. This week it's Kyler easily. And then in the flex, we're going to go ahead and we are going to
142:17most likely play between Bucky and Burden. It is close. A lot of it does come down to what we end up seeing with the
142:27um Roma stuff, but I think for now we're going to assume that you want to go with Bucky Irving. Now, Riggoni here tight
142:35end between Jawan Johnson and Goddard.
142:37I'm gonna go Jawan Johnson this week.
142:39He's gonna smash. And then in the flex spot, I think we are gonna play DJ Moore despite a really tough matchup. Now 40
142:47says, "My home league and flock league fan for three years now." Hell yeah, my guy. I have AJ Brown and not sure what
142:51to do. Thanks. I really appreciate you, my guy. I'm going to send you over a couple free trade questions, but this is
142:56more like a team review and right now I kind of got to run through these trade question style videos. I send you over
143:02multiple free trade questions. That way whenever you have a trade question in mind, I'd be happy to look at it for
143:07you. But macho man quarterback between Bick's party and Stafford this week.
143:11We're going to go Stafford. Running back, we're going to go ahead and we are going to play Jonathan Brooks here and
143:17feel horrible about it. And then in the flex, we are going to go with Jordan Addison. I'm expecting a big bounceback
143:24starting week one for this Vikings offense.
143:28Now, Bo here for the flex. Um, I would go Jameson Williams. The overunder of that game's like 50 and a half points.
143:36It's going to be so damn high scoring.
143:38You got to put him in. Now, Nog for the flex.
143:45Um, I would play Roma Dunce. If Rome does miss, I think you could pivot over to Jordan Mason or Carnell Tate. Rise
143:52has got Toutin and we gave a fourth in 2027 in Pard. Um if this is like a dynasty league and that fourth round
144:01picks a fourth round rookie pick that's incredible. If you're playing in a weirdass reraft format where you can sell a fourthround reddraft pick
144:12um then maybe I'm a little bit more nervous about it there. But yeah, if you sold a
144:23fourth round dynasty pick, I mean, dynasty rookie pick and Tony Pard to get to Bashel too. Incredible. I mean, you literally robbed the man. Should have
144:31been a second. Now Elias with our next one, trading away Higgins for Rashid Rice. I would prefer this. I may actually have Higgins ranked higher in
144:39my week one rankings, but long-term give me Rice. Grand Puma here for the flex.
144:47Um, you're gonna go ahead and play either Carnell, Tate, or Dobbins. It's a full PBR format, so I probably go Tate
144:53here because I really hate the matchup for Dobbins, and he's not going to catch the ball either. Jay Smitty between Tyler Shuck, Bode Knicks, giving me
144:59Tyler Shuck. Much better matchup.
145:01Running back, play Hampton, and Chase Brown. Wide receiver, we're going to go with T. Higgins and Wadd. For tight end, Jawan Johnson. And then in the flex,
145:10we're going to go Marvin Harrison. But it does scare me. Now, Admir trading Higgins and Craft for Brock Bowers.
145:16can't do this. If Bowers was going to be back in a week, sure, but we have no idea if that'll be the case. Boot said,
145:22"Worry about the AJ injury. My team is okay, but I'd still have to slot in Dobs or Mason. Do we do this?" Most leagues, no.
145:32Your league is very deep. And if you're having to start Romeo Dos, yes, you trade AJ Brown for Terry McLaren and
145:39Marvin Harrison. It was a 10 team, two receiver, one flex league. No, you hold on to AJ Brown. But no, here you do it.
145:46Now going over to Jay Hacks at wide receiver, you're going to play Wilson and Luther Burden. Actually, I'm sorry.
145:52You're going to be going with Tedaroa over Burden Bower. We have to stream at tight end. I'm assuming it's going to be
145:57like Michael Mayer. And then in the flex spots, we're going to go with Luther Burton and Amari and Hampton. Hampton's literally going to crush. I'm sorry. I'm
146:05about to pee myself, ladies and gentlemen. Tight end between KD and Kelsey. Um a very, very close obviously.
146:12um KD this first game coming back from the torn Achilles I still go with them but they are backtoback in my rankings
146:21and then in the flex spot I'm going to go ahead and most likely put Parker Washington I'm Jaylen War and I want to
146:27start after we see what his role looks like week one not Oliver here at running back we're going to go ahead we are
146:33going to play it's either JK Dobbins or Jordan Mason I actually like the matchup more for Jordan Mason I have them ranked No, I'm
146:43sorry. Yeah, Marshall Lloyd. Play Marshall Lloyd for the flex going through and looking at this.
146:50Your wide receivers are garbage. It's a non-tighten premium format. So, you actually play Dobbins and Jordan Mason and your flex spots. Now, David trading
146:59away. Jaylen Herz to upgrade to Josh Allen. Han lateral move to Chase Brown.
147:03We're paying Cardell Tate and Jordan Addison to do it. I think you do this because it's a two receiver one flex
147:10format. So the wide receiver depth doesn't matter. Valiant Storm trading Parker Washington and Bowers for Achan Booty and Goff and a super flex league.
147:19Yes. Um I know we talked about your team getting nuked at the beginning of this live stream because you drafted Bowers
147:25and obviously he got hurt. No fault to you, but yes, I would go ahead and do this. Now Dertree trading away Bowowers
147:31for Christian Watson and George KD. Um wide receiver right now you don't have it. you actually have a fine depth. So,
147:41I wouldn't do this because I think you could end up losing it in a big time way. But, if y'all can't tell, I'm about
147:45to piss myself. So, I got to go. I'm going to be live on the Flock League YouTube channel doing a watch party. It
147:52was so much fun yesterday. I really hope to see y'all there. We're setting up that live stream and we'll be live on
147:58the Flock League YouTube channel in about 10 minutes. Just look up Flock League on YouTube. I would send the leak I mean link but I'm about to pee myself
