Player insights
A.J. Brown
PositiveValue27:20
Ron Stewart expresses desire for more AJ Brown exposure in managed league drafts, noting it's tough to acquire him, suggesting he views Brown as underexposed relative to his value. Additionally, Brown was drafted in the third round, 7th pick overall (27th overall), which Stewart characterizes as 'pretty damn crazy,' indicating strong value at that draft position relative to typical ADP.
Insight pageAmon-Ra St. Brown
NegativeProjection38:42
Ron Stewart ranks Jalen Jeudy (JSN) unanimously over Amon-Ra St. Brown based on statistical comparison: JSN outscored Amon-Ra last year, and JSN's points per game last year represents a higher peak than St. Brown's ever achieved, indicating St. Brown is ranked below JSN due to inferior scoring output and peak performance.
Insight pageBreece Hall
NegativeValue53:46
Breece Hall is part of a trade proposal evaluation where the source considers him alongside Higgins as a potential return for Derrick Henry; the source indicates the trade is close in value but wants to see the rest of the team context before making a recommendation. Host evaluates a trade proposal where a viewer asks whether to trade Derrick Henry for Breece Hall and Tee Higgins. Host says the trade is 'close valuewise' but wants to see the rest of the viewer's team to make a full assessment, indicating Hall's value in this trade is competitive with Henry but depends on overall roster context.
Insight pageCeeDee Lamb
PositiveValue8:08
Ron Stewart ranks Lamb over every running back except Gibbs through James Cook in half PPR, indicating strong receiver preference at the 12th pick and positioning Lamb as a top-tier value play over most elite RBs in that draft context.
Insight pageChase Brown
NegativeRole2:18
Chase Brown was drafted in a 12-team, 2 WR, 3 flex, full PPR league from the 109 pick, selected as part of a balanced roster with significant flex eligibility.
Insight pageChris Olave
PositiveValue14:34
Chris Olave was selected third overall in a 10-team, three-flex, full PPR league. Ron Stewart affirmed the pick as part of a strong roster construction, saying 'That's going to play every single time, dude,' indicating confidence in Olave's value in that format.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
PositiveValue14:34
Christian McCaffrey was selected first overall in a 10-team, three-flex, full PPR league with two wide receiver slots.

Insight pageChristian Watson
PositiveValue2:18
Ron Stewart expresses desire for more Christian Watson exposure in managed league drafts, indicating he views Watson as an attractive target at his current ADP/availability. Watson was drafted in a 12-team, 2 WR, 3 flex, full PPR league from the 109 pick as part of a balanced roster construction.
Insight pageColston Loveland
PositiveValue15:07
Loveland was selected fourth from the 12th pick in a 10-team league, indicating early tight end investment in that draft slot. Ron Stewart later expressed explicit desire for more Loveland exposure in managed league drafts, stating 'I want more Loveland,' indicating he views Loveland as an attractive target at his current ADP/availability. Stewart also drafted Loveland in a 2682 build, indicating confidence in his role and production.
Insight pageDak Prescott
PositiveValue10:02

Insight pageDallas Goedert
PositiveRole56:12
Ron Stewart drafted Dallas Goedert as part of his tight end selection strategy, noting that the tight end position was weak and he wanted to secure depth at the position.

Insight pageDalton Schultz
NegativeRole56:12
Host drafted Dalton Schultz as part of his tight end selection strategy, noting that the tight end position was weak and he wanted to secure depth at the position. Host mentions Schultz alongside Goedert and Ferguson as his tight end selections, indicating he was comfortable with Schultz as a mid-draft tight end option rather than waiting for late-round alternatives like the Chargers tight end.
Insight pageDarren Waller
Derrick Henry
PositiveValue2:09
Ron Stewart repeatedly targets Derrick Henry in the 1-2 turn at the 12 spot across multiple summer drafts, indicating strong conviction in his value at that ADP. Stewart notes he wanted to 'pull up Derrick Henry a little bit' to break from repeatedly building the same team archetype with Jefferson. Stewart also expresses desire for more Derrick Henry exposure in managed league drafts, and has drafted him as part of Ravens-heavy stacks with Lamar Jackson, indicating confidence in Henry's role in the Baltimore offense. Henry was featured in a 2WR/3FLEX roster that Stewart evaluated as a 'monster team' construction.
Insight pageDeVonta Smith
PositiveValue21:26
Ron Stewart expresses desire for more DeVonta Smith exposure in managed league drafts, indicating he views Smith as an attractive target at his current ADP/availability. Smith was also selected in a draft with two wide receiver and three flex spots that Stewart evaluated as a monster team construction. However, Stewart also notes he drafted Smith somewhat indecisively, stating 'I took Devonte kind of in like flow state there. I don't even know what I was what I was deciding between,' indicating the pick was made without clear deliberation or conviction.

Insight pageJa'Marr Chase
NegativeValue4:04
Ron Stewart traded George Pickens and a 2.7 first-round pick for Jamar Chase while 'sauced up,' and he self-acknowledges this as a questionable trade decision, stating 'You're a little sauced up on that one, no doubt,' suggesting overpayment for Chase. However, Stewart also drafted Chase in a full PPR league alongside George Pickens, Stefon Diggs, and Ibuka, expressing enthusiasm about the receiver group and hoping 'it's full PPR and you can start all four of those,' indicating confidence in the depth and production potential when the league format supports it.
Insight pageJahmyr Gibbs
PositiveRole3:32
Ron Stewart is actively pursuing multiple Gibbs-centric teams across leagues, stating 'I might continue to take on more volume until we get a Gibbs team,' indicating strong conviction in Gibbs as a foundational draft target and team-building centerpiece. Stewart later praises a constructed roster built around Gibbs (Gibbs, Bucky Irving, Nico Collins, Jalen Burks, Brock Bowers, Mike Evans, Brian Thomas Jr.) as exemplary team construction, calling it 'This team is awesome.'
Insight pageJames Cook
NegativeRole2:18
James Cook was drafted in a 12-team, 2 WR, 3 flex, full PPR league from the 109 pick, selected as part of a balanced roster construction in a format with significant flex spots.

PositiveValue34:30
Ron Stewart references a draft team with Jameson Williams that the source evaluates positively as part of a team that 'crushed it,' suggesting Williams was a strong value pick in that draft context.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
Jordan Mason
NegativeValue16:21
Mason was traded away along with Brian Thomas Jr. and a next-year sixth-round pick. Ron Stewart expressed skepticism about the trade, saying 'I suppose that's fine, but I'm not crazy about it,' indicating concern about the value given up in the deal.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
Justin Jefferson
PositiveValue2:09
Ron Stewart repeatedly drafts Justin Jefferson in the 1-2 turn at the 12 spot across multiple summer leagues. He notes it's 'so tough to pass on Jefferson' even when considering other options like double RB builds, indicating strong conviction in Jefferson's value at that draft slot despite fatigue from building similar teams. Jefferson was selected first overall from the 12th pick in a 10-team league and was featured in a 2682 build, demonstrating Stewart's consistent confidence in the receiver's production.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveValue14:34
Kenneth Walker was selected second overall in a 10-team, three-flex, full PPR league. Ron Stewart affirmed the pick as part of a strong roster construction, saying 'That's going to play every single time, dude,' indicating confidence in Walker's value in that format.
Insight pageLadd McConkey
PositiveRole28:28
Ron Stewart drafts Lad McConkey in a 2682 build, indicating confidence in McConkey's role and production.
Insight pageLamar Jackson
NegativeValue8:28
Ron Stewart expresses skepticism about drafting Lamar Jackson in the third round, stating 'I'm not a big Lamar in the third guy,' indicating the quarterback is overvalued at that ADP relative to preference for running backs and receivers in that round. However, Stewart also built significant Ravens correlation in one draft, selecting Jackson alongside Derrick Henry, Rico Dattle, and Mark Andrews, indicating confidence in the Ravens offense when constructed intentionally.
Insight pageMark Andrews
PositiveRole18:18
Ron Stewart stacked Mark Andrews with Lamar Jackson in his draft, indicating strategic pairing of tight end with his quarterback to maximize target and scoring correlation. Andrews was drafted as one of two tight ends in a roster that also included Lamar Jackson at QB and Colston Loveland, with Stewart evaluating the tight end depth as sufficient.
Insight pageMatthew Stafford
NegativeValue12:12
Matthew Stafford was selected 45th overall in a paid league draft, which Ron Stewart notes as unusual, suggesting Stafford's ADP is typically much later and this pick represents a significant reach or league-specific anomaly.
Insight pageMike Evans
PositiveValue15:07
Evans was selected fifth from the 12th pick in a 10-team league, indicating mid-round wide receiver valuation in that draft slot. Ron Stewart also drafted Evans in a 2682 build, indicating confidence in his role and production.

Insight pageStefon Diggs
PositiveValue14:34
Diggs was selected fourth overall in a 10-team, three-flex, full PPR league. Ron Stewart affirmed the pick as part of a strong roster construction, saying 'That's going to play every single time, dude,' indicating confidence in the early-round selection and the overall roster build around him.
Insight pageTee Higgins
PositiveValue34:30
Ron Stewart references a draft team with Tee Higgins that the source evaluates positively as part of a team that 'crushed it,' suggesting Higgins was a strong value pick in that draft context. Additionally, Stewart evaluates a trade proposal where a viewer asks whether to trade Derrick Henry for Breece Hall and Tee Higgins, saying the trade is 'close valuewise' but wants to see the rest of the viewer's team, indicating Higgins' value in this package is competitive with Henry but depends on overall roster context.
Insight pageTerrance Ferguson
NegativeRole56:12
Host drafted Terrence Ferguson as part of his tight end selection strategy, noting that the tight end position was weak and he wanted to secure depth at the position. Host mentions Ferguson alongside Goedert and Schultz as his tight end selections, indicating he was comfortable with Ferguson as a mid-draft tight end option rather than waiting for late-round alternatives like the Chargers tight end.
Insight pageTravis Kelce
PositiveValue34:30

0:01What's going on, man? Welcome back to the basement. I'm Ron and we are here for my final five drafts on Underdog
0:13Baseball Mania and what do you know?
0:15Honestly, perfect. I mean, it's it's poetic at this point.
0:22The 12 spot. I mean, you can't make it up. Um, I I'm honestly at a loss for words for how my draft slot luck has
0:28gone this summer, but here we are in a baseball draft. Uh, we look crazy, but we are here. Nonetheless, we are
0:41here. If you're wondering why I have headphones on, it's cuz I have uh the college football game running on a separate monitor, and I want to be able
0:48to kind of hear it. But, we're going to hang out. I have five drafts to do. So, it's probably going to be like I don't
0:52know, this might be like a two or three hour stream, I'm thinking. So, headphones in. We're going to be listening to the college games going on.
1:00We're going to hang out. We're going to talk ball. We're going to draft from the 112 and smile about it.
1:07But here we are. What's going on? Who's in the
1:15chat? What's going on in here?
1:28What a month. What a grind.
1:31Why so early? Yeah, it was 6:30 p.m. on the dot.
1:36Like we said earlier, uh but what's going on in here, man? One BBM left.
1:40Yeah, we got five left. This is number five.
1:45You got hoes or are you married, bro?
1:47Neither, brother. I I draft fantasy football teams on YouTube. [laughter] Do I got hoes or am I married?
1:57God, this 112 thing is crazy this year, but it is what it is. Ryan Williams cooked. Who knows? You drafted an hour
2:04for your work league? Hell yeah, dude.
2:06Hell yeah. All right, let's see. Let's do Man, I just keep drafting these same damn Jefferson No, let's get weird. Let's get funky.
2:29Let's do uh let's do Derrick Henry, Justin Jefferson.
2:34Screw it. I don't know if I have one of these teams yet.
2:38We got Matt in here. Drafted last night from the 109 12 team, two wide receiver, three flex. Good lord. and a full PPR.
2:48Herbert, James Cook, Chase Brown, Zay Flowers, Lad Mcconi, Craft, Christian Watson, Marv Godwin. That that plays I mean your your bench is going to be dry in a two
2:58wide receiver three flex. No doubt. Like that's just how that's going to work.
3:02But that sounds good to me. So we are here. What's going on? How are we? I'm hoping, dude. I I will say I think when
3:08I did my research for the draft slot video, the only year where the 112 like the one two turn was uh the best place
3:14to be was the uh JT Eckler year. I believe that was when uh Karine won it.
3:29What's going on?
3:32Got your draft today at 8:00m. Hell yeah, dude. Hell yeah. Just win. That's what I'm thinking, bro. No, dude. It's insane. I I I am fading Gibbs
3:43uh against my will.
3:46Last pick, bro. [gasps] Last pick.
3:50No, Lamb didn't get back to us.
3:54I could have gone double her RB, but it's so tough to pass on Jefferson for me. Setting up Sleeper on Sleeper, and
3:59I'm running my very first fantasy. Hell yeah, dude.
4:05Uh, I like Walker a lot. It's really just that I have so many of these damn one-two turn picks and I'm I'm tired of
4:11building the same team. So, I just wanted to uh pull up Derrick Henry a little bit, I guess.
4:25Got two sauced up and traded Hampton's Piggins in a 27 first for Jamar Chase.
4:29Yeah, you're a little sauced up on that one, no doubt.
4:34CD Alman Ray was pretty good there, too.
4:36Yeah, you're drafting in three minutes.
4:39Seems like a lot of people are uh drafting their fantasy leagues like literally tonight.
4:46Got three drafts on Labor Day. Ready to put the draft guide to work. Hell yeah, dude. The basementdraftguide.com.
4:54Um I see we definitely got some questions here of like the underdog stuff. Honestly, I don't really know what the plans are. I'll be real with
5:02you guys. Um, drafts are gone in Jersey. I don't know.
5:08I don't know if drafts are still available in the city. I mean, it's not terrible, but for me, you guys know,
5:14like a big part of my content isn't uh drafts during the season. So, it it's really more of like a 2027 issue uh
5:22drafts going away, and I'll kind of tackle it then in terms of like uh next off seasonason, you know?
5:33Let's do Let's do Lovelin here.
5:43No, my career is not over. I I think the funny part is is I uh like Underdog.
5:48I've been with Underdog forever. Uh, but because I've protected my Patreon and my draft guide so much, like you'll notice I've never done a uh I've never done a
5:58promo where it's like use my promo code on underdog and then you get my draft guide for free. Um, there's a few
6:05reasons for that. One, it's that I always just want to protect my sustainability. So, like having subscriptions and my own product that
6:14you guys like that you are willing to pay for and not like get it as a free add-on really protects me honestly from
6:20things like this. Uh where like uh you know underdog's like probably like 20% of the revenue that we bring in in a
6:30yearly basis. So, uh that's good money, but if that went to zero on my end, like it it wouldn't be the end of the world.
6:37Um, so yeah, we'll see how this goes. Uh, you know, like there's a chance that by 2027 we're ripping drafts in the summer
6:45and underdog drafts are back up in Jersey, but if not, we'll, you know, we'll move and shake. We'll pivot, but they've been good to me forever. I still
6:56have a lot of connection with the guys still there. seems like it was more of a state side legal issue, but we'll see if
7:04there's motivation there to like get them back, I guess, would be the uh the next thing. It's like a state legislation issue, but of course that's
7:11like I don't know like essentially with the the drafts and stuff in in any site out there that has drafts. It's a like
7:18it's a game of like lobbying and uh paying your way into these rooms that are making the decisions of like what's
7:27legal in which state. Um so yeah, it's a matter of like putting resources where.
7:38Yeah. Underdog drafts are as of today they got cancelled in like honestly like pretty much the entire upper east coast.
7:44It's I think it was like Jersey B or Jersey Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania and then a bunch of other stuff that I
7:53can't remember.
7:58Got a super chat here.
8:00How will you approach the 12 spot in half PPR? You could definitely in a happy PR, you can definitely double tap
8:05receiver or running back if you don't think the receivers that come back will be good. Even in happy PR, I still have
8:10Lamb Jefferson over every running back not named Gibbs through James Cook.
8:23Let's see what comes back here. Solver wants us to take Lamar, huh?
8:30Oh, I like Evans Lamar.
8:33Let's do Evans Lamar here and we'll kind of push RB2.
8:38Screw it. I don't mind that at all. Uh the rest of the super chat though, you're thinking Chase Brown and Kenneth
8:43Walker drafting Lamar in the third. Uh I'm not a big Lamar in the third guy.
8:50Um man, I got to be honest with you.
8:55I don't know. I was not like um this is just kind of a blanket PSA to
9:04like everybody in the chat, but you can get my simple top 200 rankings. So, you can't get the draft guide, but my simple
9:11top 200 rankings for $12 on Patreon.
9:15That's the monthly thing. you could technically sign up for a month, cancel your subscription, get my simple top 200 rankings, and I would just at least like
9:22if if that's all you can kind of uh get from me, right? Like you're not going to get my targets, all that. It's just
9:27simply my top 200 PPR rankings, um I I would really recommend uh just getting my rankings there instead of asking for me to kind of like
9:38give you a speedrun on draft strategy for your league, you know? Like I I don't know who's going to be available,
9:44but you can see like my rankings are how I have these things. Um I guess two wide receiver, one flex, you could talk me
9:50into uh the quarterback and tight end on the turn, but it's tough.
9:57I don't know. This question is like all over the place now. I like I feel bad for not answering it super well, but
10:02love in the fourth. like, yeah, I I probably want to come away uh through the first four rounds with at least a
10:07quarterback or tight end, but if I go double running back, I don't know if I want both elite quarterback and tight
10:12end, but in a two wide receiver, one flex could probably work. And I do like Dak and King Kaid late was [clears throat] reason. Yeah, it
10:25wasn't like it's like a combination of things, but it is the um like there's still drafts in plenty of other states,
10:33but um I would say underdogs losing the battle with state legislators over it.
10:42Using the draft guide last night was perfect. Feels like the channel had a milestone. Cheers. Thank you, man. Hell yeah.
10:50We got another super chat. Hold on.
10:55Can you not VPN? I don't believe.
10:58Hold on, fellas.
11:00Me get some Let me get some AC pump in here.
11:15What else we got in here? Um, all right.
11:17So, we're going to be up to pick here in a second.
11:21You didn't keep running back, but you have your choice of Hampton, JT, Genty, and Barkley. Is it crazy that I want to
11:25take Hampton? Uh, yeah. I would rank that JT, Saquon, Hampton, Genty personally.
11:32Uh, but I suppose you're saying like Hampton versus Genty. I'm fine with going Hampton over Genty if that's what you're asking because it seems like
11:38you're taking three of those.
11:43Um, let's do Rico. We've been loving Rico.
11:48You could talk me into JJ Jeff, but I don't think that that's the right play or I mean Herbert.
12:02Fine, we'll do Pard.
12:08I don't mind it.
12:12I'm sure this is a paid league. Yeah, it is weird. We did see a 45th overall Matthew Stafford go.
12:20Davis is going to have the underdog market cornered. Yeah, I assume what he's in like I I just know he's in the
12:25Midwest. I don't know if he's in Kansas or Missouri or whatever, but what happened while I was walking my dog
12:35yesterday? Yo, chill. Um I don't know.
12:38Oh, it's just like a a dude with his dog uh his dog like started barking and acting super aggressive and I just can't
12:45stand when that [ __ ] happens. Want to congratulate you on the draft guide, not only on the fantasy side, but also the
12:50UI UX part two. It's a beauty. Thank you, man. Thank you, dude. That actually it's actually funny because that means a
12:55lot. That um I'm not techsavvy at all, but I think me and my web designer kind of cooked on it. And I'm even more
13:02excited cuz this was like Mach 1. I'm telling you guys, dude, like this was this was Mach 1. Like next year, um I
13:09don't even know what I'm saying with Mach 1, but you get what I'm saying?
13:11Like this was this is 1.0. Like next next summer it's going to be even better when I have the entire off seasonason to
13:16like build on this. Like we're going to build out the entire thing where like um it's going to be able to sync and uh
13:23like you can use you're going to be able to use it not only like I'm going to have it set up so that I can use it in
13:28the high stakes stuff. So it's going to be on ESPN, Yahoo, all of that, but then also FFPC, all these things. I'll have a
13:33tight end premium setup. Um I I'll have a trade calculator. I'll have like a keeper surplus value tool.
13:40Like um I have a lot of things that I I keep jotting down notes. Um and we're going to build it all out in the
13:45offseason. So this was you know massive success honestly. Like we we sold way more I don't know if I guess you could
13:52call them units or whatever but we like way more people bought the draft guide than I really expected to be honest. So,
14:00um, awesome first year of the launch, but I'm telling you guys, like it's going to be so much better. Um, cuz I I
14:06do really enjoy that I'm building it from the view of like selfishness that like I'm going I use this product, you
14:14know, like I'm in these streets. Um, and I just want it to be awesome. I think we're getting there. I think we
14:21are. Another super chat here. Uh, what do we got? What do we got?

14:51awesome.
14:55Let's do Conpsion and then let's do Perie. This This actually works out beautifully. We'll do Pury. Then we're done at QB and we're
15:04just drafting a damn good team right now.
15:07If anybody's curious from the 12 spot, we go Jefferson, Derek Henry, Lad Mani, Coloulston Lovelin, Mike Evans, Lamar Jackson, Rico Dow, Tony Pard, Casey
15:16Conpsion, and Brock Birdie.

15:28screwed up. Let me know, fellas. Let me know. Uh Oregon Boise State just wrapped up. What's the next game I got to put on

16:38I suppose that's fine, but I'm not crazy about it.
16:47Jamar Chase, George Pickkins, Flowers, Ibuka. Uh, I just hope it's full PPR and you can start all four of those. But
16:54that is awesome from a Okay, I got to get the Baylor game on.
17:09I'm struggling here.
17:11Games won ABC. Oh, it's because it's it's because it's like listed as college scoreboard right now, dude.

17:25Okay, here we go.

18:11No, no doubt. No doubt. But I'm telling you, it's only going to get better. And then we're going to have like I'll have
18:16like an inseason offering on the site as well next year. Like I'm telling you, it's only going to get so much better.
18:22Like I I I am very excited.
18:25I I've never been somebody that enjoys like I don't know, it's just been too overwhelming to build the product side, but uh me and my design are on the same
18:34page and I this just felt like a good introduction to the whole thing. So, I'm excited.
18:43Stacked up Andrews to Lamar there and then just kind of took I'm not crazy about Jacobe Myers, but he's a wide
18:48receiver and we needed one. That's really that's really all I can say about Jacobe Meyers.
18:54Who else did I feel like I didn't get enough of though? Jamir Gibbs is the one.
18:59Jir Gibbs is the one.
19:02Um, there are these receivers in this range I want more of though. Like I want more Devonte. I want more Neighbors.
19:09Like I'll give you guys my wish list here as things wrap up. Like I I have reddraft managed. Uh I think I have like
19:15five left.
19:18Uh five left. We have what? Four more BBMs left. Of course Gibbs. We want more Gibbs. I don't have any Gibbs or Chase
19:25in my uh manage league portfolio yet, which is just pitiful. Um I want more I want I want a Derk Henry managed team.
19:38I want more AJ Brown. That's tough, man.
19:40There's a lot of guys I want more of. I want more Bowers. Like these guys at the two three turn and in the early first I
19:46haven't gotten any of, you know, any exposure to these guys. I want more Devonte.
19:50Um, I want more Lad Waddle Ibuka.
19:54I want more Burden. I want more Christian Watson. I want more Loveland.
20:01Uh, and then everyone else I I think I have, you know, I I have autonomy over that.
20:08But the guys in the first four rounds, you are kind of at the mercy of the board.
20:19Uh, I I have a decent amount of DJ Moore.
20:24I have a decent amount of DJ more. Uh, I would show you if it wasn't I guess I will show.
20:41Wow. Baylor got it. 9.4%. So, that's not bad.
20:50Got another super chat in here.
20:54Y'all spamming me with these super chats. Give it to me straight. You got Dart, Dart, CMC, Saquon, Higgins, Jameson
21:10Williams, Kelsey with Kairen at the flex. I mean, yeah, you crushed that.
21:12I'd say he crushed it.
21:15Uh 108 two wide receiver three flex Daniels Henry Stevenson Aman Rod Devonte
21:26Smith Schultz Tet Parker Washington Dobbins. Yeah, I'd say that's a monster team as well. Two wide
21:34receiver three flexes. tough.
21:45Let's do Adan. Mitchell is a guy I want to draft more of in in best baseball. So, we'll do that.
21:59And then we'll do Emma Johnson here.
22:05I think we'll probably land this plane.
22:09I don't even know what I want to do here. Like I'm thinking 2682.
22:17What do you guys think? Because I I don't think with with Lamar and Perie and then our tight ends are Mark Andrews
22:23and Coloulston Lovelin. Like I don't know that I need any more of those guys.
22:26Like we might just do a 2682 and kind of throw this thing back.
22:40They're going for two. Let's see it.
22:44Let's see it.
22:54Damn. They decided call a timeout.
22:59Does Baylor have like Jason Taylor on the on the staff? Who is this guy?
23:05I swear I saw a guy who looked like Jason Taylor, but I could be way off. I thought that he was helping out LSU
23:10recently. I will say I'm pretty juiced for this Clemson LSU game. I will say, yeah, we are seeing a lot of three flex
23:17leagues here. I don't know when that became popular. I I I don't hate it, but it's that's extreme.
23:26see really good things happening in your near future. Thank you, man. We'll see how this thing goes. We'll see how this
23:32thing goes. You got the draft guide as well. Hell yeah, dude. Of course.
23:35Shameless plug. Shameless plug. I know.
23:37Honestly, most drafts have happened at this point, but if if you have a draft coming up, I guess I guess the last call
23:41for drafts is Sunday and Monday. So, make sure you check it out the basementguide.com.
23:46Uh link in the description and the comments section down below. I don't know if I'll have it in the comment section, but in the description, my
23:53rankings, the whole guide, the whole nine, it's all there.
24:00Once again, Crush Your Family League draft. Hell yeah. No, they just stopped him.
24:09Hey, what's up, Bob? I know you were saying you got your draft tonight.
24:14I got to see a replay. I don't know that he stopped, bro.
24:18I don't know that he got that stop.
24:27Oh, Miami staff, you're right. Let me see a replay.
24:43Let's do Chris Bell.
24:52Oh, let's also do Pat Bryant here.
25:01Man, I still don't know if he's short.
25:04Uh, he's pro. Yeah. Yeah. Give me pylon cam.
25:13Man, that's close.
25:17That is really close, fellas.
25:22Wow.
25:24If I was a Baylor fan, I'd be sick.
25:30I don't know. You guys might roast me and say like, "Oh, that's clearly not in." Dude, I don't know. His His back is
25:34to the pylon cam with the ball. His like right shoulder goes over the plane. I I just think it's a little more up in the
25:43air that maybe the announcer was uh was leading on there. Rate your team's PPR.
25:50I would love to know the starting lineup, brother.
25:53What do you mean standard roster? Like what the hell does that mean? I'm just going to assume that you mean uh two
25:58wide receiver, two flags. That's what I perceive as standard. Uh Golf and Love, we like that. Walker, Bree, Brooks, Cro, we like that. JSN, Watson, Burden, Tate,
26:07and K. Yeah, I mean that's a good team.
26:09About to have my draft. Thanks for the summer content. Here's a beer on me.
26:12Thank you, dude. Thank you. Hell yeah.
26:1432 man, three wide receiver, two flex.
26:16That is bad.
26:20One RB and three flex. Get that out of here. And I'm And I'm a running back hater myself, but get that out of here.
26:28Two flex and two IR.
26:32Uh, I am in Jersey, dude. We're doing I I got I got four BBMs left after this, brother. Well, actually, that's actually a great uh
26:44shout. Let's hop into the next one while we wait to come back around on the turn.
26:47Let's just load her back up. If any of you guys want to hop in here with me, I'm going to click enter in five, four,
26:55three, two, one. Bang.
27:02Oh, damn. It filled it filled right on the uh It's my bad, fellas.
27:07I do like Pat Bryant. I do. I'm telling you. I swear I know. So, I got asked for um hot takes uh heading into the season.
27:16Uh I get that I get asked that like almost every stream, but add to my list of hot takes that Pat Bryant outscores
27:23Courtland Sutton this year. Add that to my list.
27:31That's a good call. Yeah, super chat here. Half PPPR 10 Teamer two running back two wide receiver two flex
27:42Herz Jayen Daniels Walker ETN A Brown DJ Moore Pitts Watson Price Mason Zerod Addison Diggs that's a damn good team man
27:52your favorite beer um what what spot do we get oh my god bro I mean 109 is better than 12 but
28:01dude like give me a first overall bro like I I deserve it dude I deserve one.
28:08Let's take uh let's do Per the other side of this uh Baltimore game and then let's do one more running back.
28:17Philly Jets, Cleveland.
28:20Is Katron available?
28:25Yeah, let's do Kron. All right, I like that. That's the final team. Uh 2682, a build that I don't do very often, but I
28:33just think we I think we got away with it here. Uh Lamar Perie, Dererick Henry, Rico Dattle, Tony Pard, Emtt Johnson,
28:40Saj Py, Kron Allen, uh Justin Jefferson, Lad Mcconkey, Mike Evans, Casey Conpsion, Jacobe Myers, Ad Mitchell, Chris Bell, Pat Bryant, Coulson
28:48Loveland, Mark Andrews, uh plenty of correlation with Lamar. All right, let's get into our next one. We are three picks away.
28:58Backto backto back. This is how we do it. Gibbs team, no sir. Uh, not not not on this one. If if we don't get a single
29:07101 in in five drafts here, I'm I'm going I'm going to crash out. Like, this is insane at this point. Let me get Let me
29:20get I wanted JSN there. All right. Give me Ammonra, I suppose. Let's one last time.
29:26Let's also um let's get our Let's sync some stuff up. No, we don't
29:40need this. We don't need the team synced up. We need the exposure synced up.
29:43There we go.
29:46Trying What do they got?
30:00Let's get this Clemson OSU game fired up. I know we got some time until it kicks off pregame.
30:14I think it's going to Oh, it's going to be on this I think it's going to be on the same channel.
30:21Or am I an idiot?
30:45I am struggling to get my [ __ ] my YouTube TV to figure itself out, but here we are. Yeah, there we go. All
30:54right, now we're on the clock. We go Aman Rosane Brown up top.
30:59Our highest ranked player is Hampton.
31:02I don't know if we have any correlation here. Let's go Hampton.
31:08Fire up the stain for Hampton. Screw it.
31:29Nine was your pick three times. Brian going to Sunson. I don't hate that.
31:34Gibbs team. One of these days, bro. One of these days a room's just going to let me have Gibbs, bro. They're going to
31:39feel bad and band together.
31:42Favorite beer [clears throat] is cold.
31:50Um, it seems like the Ibuka stuff is positive, but I'm not I wouldn't really run to best case scenario on like some slight optimism. I I don't
31:59know. The thing that spooks me with Ibuka is he was awesome last year until he got hurt and now he's heading into
32:04week one with some kind of injury. Um, I'm drafting Ibuka, but I have him in a spot where I'm like right um
32:15I'm right in line.
32:33Yeah, this is a tweet I'll show you guys. We have uh a main event draft scheduled for tomorrow. It filled before
32:40I went live.
32:43And we have the 112, fellas. We're drafting from the 112 tomorrow. Main event FFPC $1,600 draft.
32:53The 112. [snorts] They're the the team name is because they're turning me into the Joker, bro.
32:59They're turning me into a guy I don't want to be.
33:09Literally, do you want to know how I got these scarves, bro? Like, that's that's what I'm on.
33:20And the only the only answer is to draft more of them.
33:25I I might I I might continue to take on more volume until we get a Gibbs team, but I don't know. I I don't know if I
33:31could do it. We're all like 24 is truly the max.
33:37And even that, I say that out loud and you a lot of you guys are probably like, "Good lord, what do you what what the
33:41hell do you mean 24 leagues?" And that's not that's not counting my dynasty teams.
34:00No rain delay.
34:02Get out of here, bro. How How long until it's back? Or how how long is the rain delay?
34:14Let's do Let's go Breeze. I like that.
34:25Anybody out there want to give me an F1 update from today? I saw that Gashley got pulled. I don't even know where
34:31they're racing, but that's all I saw.
34:33Haven't been on stream watching you where you haven't had higher than six.
34:37Yeah. No, it's [clears throat] bad.
34:43How many more high stakes are you doing?
34:46Um, I think probably only like two more on stream. That was one of them. We have another one scheduled as well.
35:10uh depends on the format in terms of disad advantageous in terms of wide receiver, wide receiver.
35:24Oh, was Monza. Oh my god. 90m minute delay. Bro, you're killing me.
35:31Killing me.
35:41Damn. I don't want to take Garrett, man. I can't help myself with Lovelin,
35:51dude.
35:55Let's do Burden though.
36:00How we doing? What's up? What's the story? Uh, why do you got this plane on your profile picture?
36:06You a pilot?
36:10Bravio? Who the hell is Bravio?
36:14You mean Flavio or whoever the hell that guy is? Like the French manager?
36:20I don't know if he's even still the guy, but manifesting Ron winning Y and Jack getting last.
36:28We'll see.
36:44What else we got in here, man?
36:47AJ Brown in the third round. seventh pick. Um, that's pretty damn crazy. I mean, what's that? Like 27th overall.
36:53Yeah, that's awesome.
36:56Uh, yeah, I am a sports card guy. I have all of my all of my favorite sports cards. I I need to upgrade this. I will
37:03say this shelf is pretty weak right now.
37:06Um, but I will these are like my best like slabs and cards behind me.
37:17Yeah, I was in favor of tight end premium. I think tight end Premium would make the league fun, but you guys saw,
37:22dude, I passed on Brock Bowers to take Jaylen Herz, which isn't crazy, but if I didn't take Jaylen Herz in the third
37:27round, I would have taken Chris Olive over Brock Bowers, which like the there's just a certain way because the benches are so short in that league and
37:35because the starting lineup is so deep, like it's really tough to to justify taking a tight end early. I even think like in
37:44Nick's video where he felt pressure to take Harold Fannon, I think that that was a mistake. Like I I think Nick's
37:48team is fine. He's experienced. Like he's going to do he's going to do well.
37:51His team is great, but I I didn't understand the the thirst for Tyler Warren from him and then like uh taking
37:59Fannon because he felt like he had to.
38:00Like dude, you can punt in that league.
38:03Um, like after the draft, like somebody just dropped Jake Ferguson, which like don't me wrong, I'm not stoked to take Jake Ferguson, but
38:10tight ends are bottom feeders in that league. Um, and it sucks because I love Bowers and I had to sit there and be
38:17like, if this isn't Bowers, I'm taking Crystal L straight up here. Um, like a a Titan would have to fall to a
38:25disgusting amount in that particular format for me to take one.
38:42Yeah. Like literally after the draft, Jack picked up Mark Andrews off of waiverss. Like it it's just and like the week- toeek projection
38:52difference between a Mark Andrews and like Knicks Herald Fannon is probably like one PPR point.
39:15Uh, I'm Brown over Pickkins, but you wouldn't be crazy for taking P. I I have him in the same tier.
39:23Why do I think JSN over Amanra St. Brown is unanimous? Uh, cuz JSN outscored Aman RA last year. And JSN's point per game
39:30last year, I think, is a a higher peak than St. Brown's ever had. I will say I am sorry. I think I blew into the mic
39:35super hard there.
39:39Should do a master style champions dinner with Jack and everything for Yum.
39:42I like that idea.
39:48Yeah, exactly. Like I I'm tell like and that's honestly it's it's amazing that I even sort of scratched and clawed last
39:55year. Like I I I learned a lot of things in year one um taking it into year two that I think we're we're going to crush
40:01this year. But uh I'll get to the super chat in a second. Let's make this pick.
40:09I took Devonte kind of in like flow state there. I don't even know what I was what I was deciding between.
40:16Damn, he takes Warren.
40:24All right, we'll take Marv then. Dude, I'm really coming around on Marv, bro.
40:28I'm really coming around on Marv. I'm happy that Marv's going to be a guy we have a good amount of this season.
40:35I I I just think like I still I still believe I still believe is all I can say. All right, so super
40:43chat here. I appreciate the super chat.
40:44Two wide super two flex. Thank you so much for giving me the context.
40:48Um what are your thoughts on your 12Tr Lawrence Gibbs? I must be nice, bud.
40:56Must be nice to have a Gibbs team.
41:00Must be nice of Gibbs, Bucky, Nico, Burden, Bowers, Evans, BTJ. What the [ __ ] dude? This team is awesome. This team is awesome.
41:11It's a Gibbs team. I mean, I'm jealous.
41:15God bless, man.
41:23Who's the last RB that you'd be comfortable with being your RB1? Oh, dude.
41:30No, I'm trolling. I'm troll. I'm not actually mad. I'm trolling. I'm trolling.
41:36Uh, the last RB you'd be comfortable with being your RB1. It depends on the format, man. But in like a home league,
41:43in a home league, probably the furthest I'd be willing to push it is like this tier of like Swift, uh, Totin, Deont, Scataba, Bucky,
41:53Judkins, Price.
41:55These guys right here.
42:00But in like a full PPR, like when I'm doing the high stakes [ __ ] and getting really funky, like we we'll we'll push
42:06it as far as as I feel necessary.
42:11How much better is Kenneth Walker than Derk Henry? Um I think in terms of what in terms of like as a fantasy pick, as a
42:19real life player, I just think Kenneth Walker has higher receiving upside and less like age downside risk.
42:29What up, Nathan? What up? What up?
42:34What's my college team, dude? Sadly, as a guy that uh cuz I grew up in Jersey, like I I don't really have a college
42:40team. I I root hard for Satan Hall basketball. Uh because my buddy went there. Uh so when he went there, he
42:48would get student tickets and like I would come and like support the team.
42:51And before CO, they were awesome. Like this is super niche, but Satan Hall Basketball had like Miles Pal. Uh the guy Sandro, Mamu, I I think it's like
43:01Mamu. I can't I'm not even going to try on his last name, but uh he just got signed like longterm by the Lakers this
43:08this past summer, but Satan Hall was amazing. Uh CO ripped away what would have been a three seed for them in the
43:14NCAA tournament. They've been shitty ever since. The NIL era has been very unkind to the Satan Hall Pirates, but I still uh I still ride with them. I I
43:22like all the teams that play at uh it's called the Credential Center in Newark, New Jersey. That's where the Devils play. So, I like the Devils. I like
43:28seeing Hall Pirates. Um but in terms like college football, I never really cared. I have a weird relationship with Ruckers. Um I was supposed to go to
43:36Ruckers, but they didn't give me a dime of student aid. Uh and that really left a sour taste in my mouth. And I ended up
43:42before the first check cleared, I I decided uh I'm actually not going to pay, you know, like 30k plus housing to
43:49go to an instate school. Um when I felt I had better grades than getting credit for. Let's go Herbert here. But that's a discussion for
43:59another day.
44:01College in general pisses me off.
44:18What's embarrassing?
44:26You had 12th in all three of your home leagues.
44:29I'm sorry, man.
44:32Yeah, Mamu Kelli, he was awesome, dude.
44:39I mean, he still is awesome, but yeah, like there's a part of me that roots for Ruckers because they are like a New
44:46Jersey school. So, it's like I always want Jersey schools or just like hometown things to do well, but on the other hand, it's like
44:53I do have some hate in my heart for Ruckers.
44:59I just didn't really feel valued by them during the uh college process or whatever, but is what it is. I mean, I wouldn't trade
45:08the the path I took for the world, but it's hilarious. I literally went to like the the Ruckers orientation. I was fully
45:14I had a roommate lined up. I was fully ready to go. Um and then I withdrew in like August, like a few weeks before I
45:21was supposed to go. um withdrew, took the last available community college courses. Like I I was doing I did some like crazy online accelerated course. It
45:31was like the only thing available my first semester at community college.
45:34Like I will say this is always the summer this is always the time of the summer where I bring up that story. Um
45:41that I do always love to share that if you guys are out there and you're in your early 20s and I say this as a guy
45:46who's 25 years old, but not even early 20s, but like 18, 19, you don't know what the [ __ ] you're doing. like um when
45:51I withdrew from Ruckers and I enrolled late at community college and took whatever courses were given to me and uh that was probably one of the hardest
46:01like that fall stretch of like uh August through December like you know all of my boys go to college and they're having
46:10the time of their lives and I kind of hung back was in like community college classes I didn't give a [ __ ] about uh
46:16delivering pizzas of course like that is the story the origin story of this channel is I was delivering pizzas listening to fantasy football podcast
46:23and just felt like I don't know I felt like a loser like things weren't going to work out. Um but obviously they did
46:29everything happens for a reason. Um, so yeah, that's a that's a spiel I give every every summer, but I know a lot of
46:36you guys, not a lot of you guys, I know the demographics, like a lot of you guys are like 30 plus, but um, if you're, you
46:42know, 18, 19, 20, uh, figuring [ __ ] out when it comes to college and stuff, uh, one, I'll say community college is an
46:50awesome option, and two, uh, I would say, you know, things get better most of the time.
47:08Uh, I don't know if anti- college is the right word, but I'm I I'm just I'm I'm anti- going into debt to go to college
47:14is what I would say. But I I know there's a lot of states better than Jersey when it comes to instate tuition,
47:20but in Jersey, the instate tuition is a joke. Like, you really don't get a discount. um in the most nice PC way possible as a
47:32white dude from the suburbs, you're paying full price. Um it's kind of how it works. Or at least that was my
47:38experience.
47:44So you just you like feel this pressure to be like, "Oh yeah, all right. We'll just go into debt and we'll, you know,
47:48get the degree everyone else is getting." It's like no, dude. Like I don't know. There's a stigma around community college, at least how it was
47:55at my school. It just felt like all the losers and outcasts and like drug addicts went to community college. Um, and it was the smartest thing I've ever
48:03done.
48:05I still use the I took a bunch of stats courses there and I still use that to this day.
48:27Let's go. We got my brother's hand.
48:28Let's go, Rockers.
48:38Oh, you're from Jersey, too. You end up going to Ohio.
48:41Yeah. You see a lot of dudes from Jersey go elsewhere because it makes sense.
48:45Like we don't I don't know what it is about Jersey and I'll ride till for Jersey till I die, but in terms of like
48:50instate tuition.
48:53It's a joke, bro. Like I feel like a lot of other states are are very uh friendly with instate tuition. Not here.
49:06I mean, I'll even say my brother took my route where uh he went to community college and then he went to Ruckers
49:10where that's what I would have done had I had not uh decided to I mean my mom is the goat for letting me
49:17take like a literally I took a gap year between community college and going to Ruckers to uh make fantasy football content and then kind of the rest is
49:25history. Man, you went to Ruckers? Hell yeah, dude.
49:35Ruckers should probably get kicked from the Big 10. I I don't quite understand why they're in the Big 10.
49:48I I also You said like most experience end up being a waste of money. I actually lucked out that I decided to go
49:52to community college and COVID hit the spring of my freshman year. So, I'm uh I'm in some ways unlucky, right? We
50:02don't have much to bear gives, but I'm also in some ways um extremely lucky that feel like I missed out a lot my the
50:09fall of my fresh uh freshman year of college and then the uh CO [ __ ] hit in the spring and it was like damn, I would
50:17I sure would hate to be paying full price for school and having like the COVID experience. So yeah, even trades are awesome, dude.
50:43Ruckers Pharmacy School. That's awesome.
50:46Yeah, literally not liking how much hate Ruckers is getting right now. Then they should they should have given me a little kickback,
50:52dude.
50:54Give me a little damn kickback. Give me a little You want to State of Doom.
51:02Yeah. Losing to UMass. Yeah, they gota they gota I think that they apparently they paid apparently they played millions to play UMass to get the cupcake
51:12schedule and then they also paid a [ __ ] ton for the fireworks because I think it's supposed to be Shiano's 100th win
51:17which is just uh tough.
51:22Hell yeah, dude. Hell yeah. Community colleges are awesome, dude. As as like corny as that is to say, they are awesome.
51:37Damn. Damn, bro. I'm boring and hard to listen to, but I think you have good advice, so I watch. Damn. [laughter]
51:51I [laughter] I disagree, but I can respect you just being like, "Fuck you, dog."
52:04I actually like to think I'm one of the more entertaining guys on here that talking to a micro about football, but
52:08that is hilarious.
52:15Escape to PA. Yeah, that's a route that some buddies have taken.
52:20I just love Jersey too much.
52:40Yeah, community college courses were harder than university courses. I could see that. That That's what I'm saying, dude. the the stats course was or this
52:47the the couple of stats courses I took while there were like harder than [ __ ] I had to do elsewhere like uh like AP
52:54classes in high school I was taking like they were no joke the um let's do Jake Ferguson here I guess for some
53:03reason must be at least half Italian Um,
53:16I'm certainly Italian, but I'm a mut, bro. Like, uh, I'm just white, dude. Like, I did one of the 23 ami shits. Like, I'm I'm just
53:25white, bro. Like, I'm I'm all of it.
53:28Scottish, Italian, French, Greek, German.
53:34I got no culture, bro.
53:40I got to see South. Um, I I've never seen the South Harman Institute thing, but I've heard of it.
53:46Should I trade Derk Henry for Bree and Higgins?
53:51I would have to see the rest of your team.
53:54But I appreciate the super chat. It It's close valuewise, but I'd like to see the rest of your team in terms of like how
54:00strong is your flex, who's your running back next to Derk Henry. That's what I would want to see.
54:08Um, yeah, it's definitely uh in the cards next year to maybe make some kind of app. I think that that's pretty far
54:15down the, you know, that might be that might be when we talk about, you know, 1.0, 2.0, that might be more 3.0 and
54:21further. But yeah, I'm trying to make it as awesome as possible, man.
54:28Yeah, my heart will always be in Jersey as well, dude.
54:32I'll always ride for Jersey.
54:37I don't know. It's like the most cliche thing in the world, but you got the Appalachian Mountains, like plenty of awesome wildlife, hiking trails. You got
54:44the Jersey Shore close to New York City, got the Poconos up north if you want them.
55:01Will Patreon member Will annual Patreon members get the draft guide for free next year? Um, I'm not sure what my offering will be next year. I'm not sure
55:11what my offering will be, but if there is something along those lines, uh, what what I'll say like the bottom line is is
55:18I I think anyone who's been subscribed to my stuff for a long time, uh, knows that I always take care of the legacy
55:24members. I always take care of the legacy members. There's dudes that are stole my Patreon for like the $5 a month
55:30I charged back in like 2021. Like I I'll I'll make sure um that everyone that is signed up either annually or
55:41monthly or whatever. Like you can you can trust you'll always be taken care of.
55:56Pork roll. I'll say I'll be honest though. I'm I'm from North Jersey so we call it Taylor Ham, but I also
56:02don't care to argue about it.
56:12Let's do [sighs] I don't know what I want to do here. We don't really need anything.
56:24Damn. Terren Ferguson must have just went, huh?
56:34The hell did Terrence Ferguson go? Oh, he went right here. Damn it. All right, so we take our final tight end there. I
56:40was fine kind of doing that just because our tight ends are so bad. So, it's Goddard, Ferguson, Schultz. I could have
56:46waited and gone with the Chargers tight end late, but decided against it. It's kind of like a double hero RB team. We
56:51go wide receiver through the flex. We take a quarterback, running back, wide receiver. This team is well built, but now I don't really know what I want to
56:58do down the stretch here.
57:01We can afford a second tight end if we want it or a second quarter or third quarterback, I mean, but we don't need
57:06it. Allocation says we're literally chilling everywhere. We'll just see. I guess we'll just see what comes back.
57:13I'd like to get some week 17 correlation with our QB stacks, though. I'll say um describe to more expensive Minnesota.
57:27Get out of here. Get out of here.
57:40Um, no. I I wouldn't I wouldn't move to follow drafts. Maybe that's cra Maybe that's like wrong for me to say out
57:47loud, but I wouldn't move for drafts.
57:49No. Like I said, like look, Underdog's been great to me. I love Underdog. I'm still with them,
57:59but they take up at most a quarter of my overall revenue year-toear. So, it's not like, and it's I'm I'm lucky in that
58:09sense. I'm very lucky in that sense. I know there are some creators where their entire thing is their sponsorship, and this is like a big hit for them. Um, for
58:18us, you know, we do these drafts during the summer. Uh, I enjoy them. I enjoy streaming them with you guys, but then
58:24once the season starts, like we kind of go away from the drafts. Um, and we'll kind of just see how things go in 2027,
58:31like if if uh, you know, it'll be kind of like a listen to the drum beat of if if they if
58:38it gets removed in more states, then we kind of know where things are heading.
58:41Um, if you know, they fight to get them back in these states. We'll see. We'll see how things go in 2027. But um yeah,
58:51it's not something I really care about, you know, until next season for me, just cuz I don't really I don't do like the DFS
59:00style week to week stuff. I mean, I do it for fun. I'll miss the uh you guys know me, I I'll mess around. I'll do the
59:05baseball stuff. I'll mess around in the basketball streets. I'll mess around uh in the golf and stuff, but that's like for funsies, which I'll miss. But um
59:16it doesn't affect my bottom line enough for me to like move.
59:22I'm not sure. I'm not sure it affects anybody's bottom line enough to to uproot their lives for it, but I could
59:28be off because it seems like Overset's not doing it.
59:39You're on the $6 subscription. Hell yeah, dude.
59:45be sad. Um, it's tough to say.
59:53Sad, but it if you know, the writing's kind of been on the wall.
60:03I think the sale was kind of the oh [ __ ] moment.
60:09Um, me Ray Davis here.
60:17Bacon, egg, and cheese with cream cheese.
60:20What the hell?
60:22What did you just say?
60:34Seems like an arbitrary approach for your biggest business model. What are you talking about?
60:42An arbitrary What the hell does that mean?
61:02Oh my god, buddy.
61:06I'm too privileged to give a reasonable take.
61:12What are you talking about, man?
61:16Like I got like I I wasn't I didn't even get equity, bro. Like I I I'm literally the least of the privileged.
61:22Who Who are you, dude?
61:30I can't believe this.
61:34What's this like copy and paste y'all are doing?
61:41I I I promise I'm not the guy. I'm not the guy. I can't believe this.
61:47I'm not the bad guy.
61:50Holy [ __ ] I guess all I'm saying
62:06I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't say anything. Maybe I shouldn't say [ __ ] I don't know. I don't know what the hell
62:26just I don't know what just happened here.
62:30Yeah. Like [laughter] I like I I Dude, I I'm so far down the totem pole. I I I didn't know this was happening until I
62:38got an email this morning, bro. Like I'm not the guy, bro.
62:46But it's fine. I I know. Um I know you guys don't mean it. I I that was like copy and pasted from two different
62:52accounts. So, I don't know what's going on. But, um yeah, I don't know. I I try my best to just be open and real with
62:59you guys about um how this affects me and how I how I feel about it.
63:07But yeah, I mean, it's a bummer.
63:12It it's like the the reality just is that it's a it's a bummer, but it's not a like I I I don't do live streams during
63:19the season of me drafting like, you know, the week three Badge Bros Brawl or whatever. But I feel for those guys like
63:26that sucks. Like Pete, uh, Roto Run, Nez, like those guys who grind the weekly stuff and form their shows and their content schedule around that
63:35stuff. That blows for them. Um, and I'm very sad for them, but I also think like Pete is one of the the best dudes in
63:43this space when it comes to content and he'll figure it out.
63:47I also think when the sale happens happened, I assume that Pete got paid handsomely is what I'll add as well.
63:56But yeah.
64:01Yeah, there's always other stuff.
64:03There's always other stuff. And I don't know. Um, they [laughter] Where's that odd rod? That's hilarious.
64:12It It I think I think that he was referring to the arbitrary thing of like the percentage that uh my underdog
64:18sponsorship makes up my revenue. And it's not arbitrary. Like it's it's just it's just what it is. But um all right,
64:27let's I guess we'll take percent here. I don't know. I don't feel like I need anything else.
64:36Please God, let me get there. All right, there we go.
64:39But yeah, I know I don't have to feed those trolls, but I I I just am fine being straight up with you guys.
64:46Um like I I don't stand to like lie to you guys. And like also like I said, like the the point of me saying how much
64:56that sponsorship makes up my revenue, right? Of course, you have um YouTube advertising, you have Patreon, draft guide, all of that. Um
65:07I guess I am just being transparent and saying that it sucks, but
65:17it only has so much power and effect over me is I guess what I'm saying. Like it's I'd say one, it's not backbreaking
65:22for me, and two, um, uh, I'm not compromised in any way. Like I I am a I'm a free man is what I'm
65:31trying to say. Um, which is by design. It It's why I've never folded on keeping the two things separate.
65:41Um, so yeah, I don't know. I'm rambling now.
65:48All right, let's hop into our next BBM.
65:53So, I guess yeah, I'm rambling, but I guess here's what I'm trying to say is like I'm uh I one don't need to do
65:59damage control for any of this.
66:02Okay, we got the three spot, which isn't really great, but We'll take the 103, I guess. I will say
66:17104 is actually our most common spot. As as much as it seems like I always get the 112.
66:26Yeah, I'm 100% just rambling, but I'm just trying to tell I'm just trying to be real with you guys in terms
66:32of where I stand, where things stand.
66:42Um, essentially essentially Underdog was bought for $1 billion, which is nuts. Um
66:50there was I would say I don't know what number of people would be but there were early investors
66:59whether that was creators who hopped on early with underdog and said you know what instead of paying me straight up I
67:06will take equity in the company. Um, so that sale of $1 billion, everybody who did that early on of like, hey, you know
67:12what? Instead of, you know, you might not have the capital to pay me, I'll take equity. Those guys are rich rich. I
67:19am not one of them. So, like, uh, that's a spot I'm in. Um, so that's what happened. Since that
67:29sale, things have kind of been trending this way, away from the draft games and everything. Um, but we'll see. their actions kind of dictate what happens
67:37from here.
67:41And we will uh we'll throw in a super chat out to balance the haters. It's all good. I I'll be real with you guys. I um
67:47am just messing around.
67:50I'm just messing around if uh people want to lash out or whatever.
67:54Like I'm kind of happy to be a punching bag, but I'm also kind of happy to be straight up on where I'm at currently.
68:25You g keep me from your uh from your league mates? Yeah, I sold out. No, it's crazy, dude. Everybody out there got
68:32rich rich and I I didn't. So, that's really what it is. like so I
68:42don't really um but I'll also say that as well there are some guys where it's like oh this sucks for him but I I would say anybody who
68:53got paid out in equity you don't need to cry for him that's that's what I would tell you that's what I would say any anyone out
69:01there lucky enough to have gotten equity um the change sucks for them but they'll be all Right. They'll they'll be more than
69:13all right is what I would say.
69:24Now, if I could do the interstellar meme and go back and Well, the thing is I didn't have um uh I didn't have enough leverage back
69:34then to uh demand equity to be real with everybody.
70:07who bought it. Uh, I believe it's like a company called like IG grouping or something like that. I don't even know
70:10what that is. I really don't.
70:16But yeah, I I guess my point is, and I'm kind of down to to change topics here and get back to uh football and other
70:24but um I guess what I would say is I know as much as you guys do, it all sucks. Um there's only so much I can say
70:41and I'd like to see how things play out over the next six months before I go in either direction.
70:46That's what I would say.
70:52I think that's fair on all fronts.
71:01Is Booty worth a bench dash? I think so.
71:04Um, in a managed league, like in a manage league, he's like a fine last pick. Oh my god, we're going to do
71:10another zero RB team. Kill me.
71:16I need to get more neighbors team. So, we're just going to take neighbors here.
71:27Say it isn't so, bro. Say it isn't so.
71:30Dude, this game can't be this game. I'm over here listening to damn Booger McFarland in my headphones, dude. I'm turning off I'm turning off the volume.
71:40Can I Can All right. So, while you know we're on draft number three at this point and we're done talking about
71:45football, it seems like thoughts and feelings on Kanye West because I'll be straight up after seeing some of the clips from his tour in
71:55Chicago. One, the set list last night looked crazy. He brought out Kid Cuddy, he brought out Chief Keef, I think Rick
72:03Ross, I think Lupe Fiasco came out. I mean, dude, what it was like a 60 song set list.
72:10Now, I'll be honest. I don't even really rock with like new Kanye stuff, but a guy I'm sure a lot of you guys are the
72:15same way from like Late Registration through Yeezys is like the greatest like what like four to five
72:25album run of all time. Um, but I only bring that up to say that like now I I've been listening to a [ __ ] ton of
72:32Kanye just living living through the FOMO.
72:39And it seems like like what's the story?
72:41Is anybody out there more educated than me? Um, what's anybody out there more educated than me? Understand? Like cuz I keep
72:50seeing takes like this is like a Taylor Swift era's level tour, but he's only he's like only giving like a month's
72:58notice before selling out football stadiums. Like it's all it all seems so nuts. [snorts] But I also say that to say like
73:08if he comes to if he comes to Metife, dude, I'm gonna have to make some real decisions. I'm going to make some real
73:13tough decisions financially on if I should I mean those those tickets are like thousands to get
73:22in and we're talking like nosebleleeds but dude if you're going if you're going to do a 60 song set list and bring out
73:31all of the damn you're going to bring out Chief Keef Kid Cuddy Lupe Fiasco I'm like leaving dudes out twista for slow
73:39jams like I think Travis Scott pulled up last night like like that's that's like damn near like a festival.
73:49Wow. You went to a he did a show in Tampa.
73:52Get in like 700. I agree. I think it just has to happen, dude. Kickoff 840 they're saying.
74:04Wow. He's playing Houston on Halloween.
74:06That's awesome, dude.
74:10Travis Scott was there. Yeah, the the set list was nuts, dude. Like I I I um he was in this chat earlier. EZ,
74:20he like he like sent it to me in a Twitter reply and it was like I was like my draw was on the floor. Like I think I
74:25left people out. Yeah, he did go nuts because it was Chicago. I will say, dude, if I was a Chicago guy, like I I'd
74:31be on the moon this weekend, dude. You have the you have night one where he plays homecoming like five times and the whole thing goes crazy.
74:40And meanwhile happening at uh Wrigley, they have Caleb Williams, uh Bizelis, Caleb Wilson, Cole Bennett watching PCA
74:52and then he runs it back last night for like a 60. He like outdid night one set list.
74:59Crazy.
75:04I'm seeing kickoff is 9:40 Eastern.
75:09Are you kidding?
75:189:40 Eastern. Dude, it's rain, bro. It's rain. Like, are we serious?

76:47is this or is this not the XFL?" He's like, "Do I have a pulse?
76:52Is this or is this not the XFL?" All right, let's go play ball or something like that.
77:07Uh they're in Baton Rouge, which I will say this sucks cuz uh the snapback guys are there for the experience or
77:16whatever. And this is definitely on the experience.
77:21Team five is Bowers. Lad Allen DJ Moh.
77:27I wouldn't lad over Devonte Smith.
77:29Flowers, Rashi, Breeze feels wrong.

77:54I just want the boys to play ball, man.
77:55That's all I want.
77:59Did the mic just change? I might have just touched something.
78:05What's wrong with the mic? Mic chilling.
78:09I will be honest. All you got to say is audio is [ __ ] and you'll send me into a spiral.
78:19All you got to tell me is the audio is and you'll send me into a spiral.
78:22Are we good?
78:25Change for a split second. I don't like that at all. I don't like that at all.
78:32All right. I'm going assume it's fine for now. It's all good. All right. We'll see what happens.
78:43Just a bit rough.
78:53Audio is completely fine. All right, I'm just Okay, it was fine. It was [ __ ] for three seconds. All right, I guess
78:58we'll just I guess we'll just carry on.
79:10Okay, there's lightning and stuff. Okay.
79:11Yeah. So, I'm definitely talking out of my ass. No, I get it, dude. I get it. it is SEC football. Like,
79:17you know, the TV network doesn't want to push [ __ ] and figure stuff out, but it's like, damn. Yeah, I was going to
79:25ask what what's the game to throw on then?
79:32I actually did something very wholesome and uh made like a watchability guide for my mom because she was wondering what games
79:39were good to watch.
79:46the stuff the the next best games I have on during this time period is Michigan, Western Michigan, Northwestern, South Dakota State, Florida, FAU, Texas A&M,
79:55Missouri State. I mean, these games all kind of suck, but some of y'all are saying Yeah, I'm like bleeding. I don't know
80:17what the hell is going I'm a mess right now, fellas. I'm like bleeding.
80:26Audio is in Spanish.
80:29Trying to find the college football game to watch.
80:40Let me check out ESPN.
80:43Me check out ESPN real quick.
80:49I've actually decided I'm going to go grab a Coke Zero real quick.
81:37So, what game am I putting on, fellas?
81:42I don't even know what game I want to put on.
81:59You got Yankees Padres. Yankees Padres is on.
82:11All right, let's lock in.
82:15Thought for a second I might have been muted.
82:19Yeah, I'll probably put on the Michigan game because I just want to see what's going I want to see how Bryce Underwood
82:23looks. There's a guy in this chat yesterday telling me Bryce Underwood is the truth.
82:28I I believe in the upside, but he might be ass.
82:35I believe in the upside, but he might be ass.
82:42All right, I guess we'll do Jonathan Brooks.
82:45We're behind that running back on this team.
82:49This team actually is awesome.
82:52We started out uh Chase Neighbors, Jeremiah Love, Bucky, Jameson Williams, DK Math through the Flex, Drake May, Jonathan Brooks.
83:02This is a solid start.
83:11Damn, we're back on the clock already.
83:14Let's take a Kyle Pitts. Let's do a Pitts. Why not? Let's fill out the starting lineup, man.
83:29I am Conpsion over Boston pretty firmly.
83:33I think he's a better prospect and a better I think that he's more quarterback proof in his role is what I
83:39would say.
83:42All right, I'm putting on the Michigan game.
83:50Jesus, they got a crazy commercial on right now.
83:59Kyle Shitz, that's crazy. I got Kyle Pittz so late in the uh the BDGE League, dude. None of them wanted anything to do
84:06with Kyle Pittz.
84:18We need your mom's weekly college football notes. I'll text her right now and ask her if she um if she has any
84:22notes to share.
84:42You're making me put her on the spot now, though. I don't know. The thing is that she writes these down in her
84:47notebook. I don't think she's home, so I don't know if she'll have the players that she wrote down on top of her head.
84:58Yeah, pits is more than reasonably uh priced, man.
85:22So, this is your uh like work league, right? Something like that. Two receiver, one flex, you go James Cook, Kenneth Walker, Neighbors T. Yeah,
85:28that's gonna play. That's gonna play.
85:33Anyone who's drafted Kyle Pit since 2022. Did not have him in 2022.
85:43Draft grade 10 team two flex Stafford McCaffrey Cook
85:53Neighbors Wadd Concade Higginian Price Watson off the bench. Yeah, I mean that's going Yeah. Yeah, that's going to play brother.
86:00That is going to play.
86:03Whoa. I don't know if I like these Michigan uniforms.
86:07I don't know about those at all.
86:10Let me get Dobs, man. Please, please.
86:30I mean, you're trolling me with dos right there, bro. What does do what could do possibly offer you?
86:41We're taking a naked party. Naked party.
86:45And then that's probably it at QB.
86:50I think Drake May Party is probably it at QB.
87:01Let's see.
87:10Jeez, we're back on the clock already.
87:17Give me Debo.
87:26My mom likes Well, the thing is she likes the guys that are are awesome, obviously. Like she said she likes Arch Manning. she
87:34likes baby Jesus from yesterday. And then also said Mendoza on Georgia Tech she liked as well, but I don't know that
87:42he looked that good, but um that's where we're at. Shout out to draft guide. Yeah, dude. Shout out the basement draft guide. If you have a
87:51draft coming up, make sure you check it out. The basementdraftguide.com.
87:55if you have a draft coming up here between now and NFL week one kickoff.
88:03It's got all my stuff on there.
88:07You're scared of neighbors. Yeah, I'm not uh not a fan. I I will say my take on Baby Grank, dude. Here's what I'll
88:14say about Baby Grank. one uh one I hope that he becomes massively successful and
88:23doesn't give his [ __ ] dad a dime. Um his dad is a terrible person. Um and I just I feel awful for Baby Grank
88:34in general. Two, he had a highlight clip go crazy and everyone in the comments was like, "Oh, look at who he's playing against."
88:44Whatever. Whatever. Bro, if I was moving like that in eighth grade, I don't care if I'm playing against like if they're in your same age group, dude.
88:53Like, scoring touchdowns and being the man is awesome. So, I think being like, well, he's not playing in Texas or whatever. It's like, dude, he's in
89:02eighth grade. Like, if he looks like the best player on the field and is scoring touchdowns, that's awesome for the simple fact of not that he's
89:10going to go to the NFL, but because he's in the he's in the eighth grade, and that should be awesome. scoring
89:14touchdowns and dominating in football.
89:17You know, he's in eighth grade. Like, I I I just the uh he's getting like he's playing against plumbers stuff. It's
89:23like, dude, we were all playing against plumbers in eighth grade and we were all plumbers. Like, that's kind of what it
89:28comes down to. You know what I mean? Um, so yeah, exactly. Like, do I think he's going to
89:40go to the NFL? I don't know. He's in eighth grade, man. Even the guy, even the eighth graders in Texas who dominate
89:46and are awesome, uh, a lot of them become nobodies.
89:53And even still, that's better than I ever did playing football. I was one of the plumbers, dude.
90:04Most of us was that exact kid whiffing on the tackle trying to get Baby Grog in the open field.
90:15Dude, I was a pl I was a plumber, too, dude. [laughter] Like, what are we talking about? What do you mean, dude?
90:25Like, if you didn't play D1, you were the plumber in eighth grade football.
90:30Like, it and that's just the reality of what it what it was. There's no shame in that. It it just proves like what why
90:37it's so silly to be like, "Oh, well, baby Groank is doing this against like shitty. It's Dude, he's in eighth grade,
90:44bro." Like, if you like a man amongst boys amongst players that are your same age, I think that's a W. I think that's
90:52a W. I'm sorry, bro.
90:59Yeah. All the [ __ ] should be going towards his dad. The thing with his dad, like his dad is out of his [ __ ]
91:05skull. Like his dad's on like uh Michael Jackson uh Julian Newman's dad type Like I mean now that you know we
91:14start talking about that category of dad, it's very adjacent to your Lavar Ball, but of just like living vicariously through your kid, like
91:21forcing all this [ __ ] on him. Like dude, ma making baby Grank go to like LSU and like film a weird like sexualizing thing
91:28with Libby Dunn. like just they would do stuff like that all the time and like giving the kid a weird haircut and
91:33parading him around and stuff. All of that is super lame. I want that on record into a microphone. All of that is
91:39super lame and I wish nothing but the worst for his dad. Um but I do I I wish honestly nothing but the best for Baby
91:45Groank. This is it's a terrible childhood. uh he's been set up to fail by his parents, but if he can actually become successful, be
91:54a good football player, again, I hope that he eventually become successful and shuts the door on his dad and gives him not a dime. Um, so
92:06I'm rooting for Baby Grank, but I think his dad's an [ __ ] That's what I would say.
92:12Baby Grank rash scores through the roof.
92:27Oh yeah, there's level there's levels to all of it, bro. There's levels to all of it, dude. Like especially when it comes
92:32to like youth sports, bro. Like you're you think you're the biggest fish until you're not, dude.
92:42Like you think you're the man until you're not.
92:45Like people really don't understand that. Like [snorts] it's just crazy, bro. Like um it's just like a very small very small
92:58percentage of athletes that actually make it, man. Like you can be the man in your city and like not even be a D1
93:07starter somewhere.
93:13There's my tight ends pitts and Derk Henry.
93:16Let's do Kaylin Black here.
93:22What I think is crazy too is like in terms of like the there's always a bigger fish. Like it also just speaks to how like how much
93:30of an alien these dudes are. Like if you look it up, I think I don't think Mike Evans started playing football until he
93:36was like a sophomore in high school.
93:38like he just kind of picked it up like which is nuts.
93:44Uh let's do 80 Mitchell here.
93:48Like the late bloomers in football blow my damn mind, dude. Like it's just it's crazy, man.
93:56I mean, what? Joel Embiid didn't start playing basketball until he was like in high school or some crazy [ __ ] Like
94:02there's some there's some dudes who were just genuinely gifted, man.
94:11>> [cough] >> and then even still and it's why like I
94:28have such a hard time with like the film stuff and prospecting why I only look at like the spreadsheets and stuff is just
94:33like you know like Tavon Austin is like the greatest college ball player.
94:39He at least has the greatest highlight reel of anybody. Like unanimously best highlight reel and he was garbage in the NFL. You know what I mean? Like it's
94:47just crazy.
95:12B didn't start till two years before he was a top pick. Something like that.
95:15Bro, we're drafting till the LSU game ends.
95:25Nah, we're drafting until I fill these damn BBMs.
95:48already off and on topic. Htown boy here Elijah and found basketball at 16. I believe that.
96:01Trying to remember why I looked this up.
96:07Oh, I think I looked it up just because like the World Cup made me interested about it, but like the best football
96:12player to come from England, I believe, was Lu Deng, who's like a Sudanese guy, but his story is crazy. Lu Deng.
96:22Uh, let's do.
96:33I think we can actually afford to take Gino here.
96:39We'll do that. We'll probably take another running back. Probably like a 3663. Honestly, this team think we can afford that.
96:58Yeah, I'll have a trade calculator. I will. Uh not this year. Not this year.
97:01Uh next season I'll have a trade calculator.
97:07Uh what's his name? Like Marlon Klein.
97:11Dude, Deng was awesome. Dang was awesome uh when he played. Let's do Let's do a tight end. I don't think I
97:24have anything that stacks really.
97:28So, I guess just give me Kotton.
97:33And then our last pick will be a running back.
97:40I don't know how you guys don't like that team, but our capital allocation looks good. I think 3663 looks good.
97:46Just nice and balanced. Nice and easy.
97:52Let's do Oh, Ojanobi is English. That's a good That's a good call.
97:56I was looking at that during the soccer debates of like I don't know what I was looking at it for. I can't remember what the debate
98:04was, but there's always that big debate of like, oh, if our best athletes just learn how to play whatever. It's like I
98:09don't know.
98:12All right, we have two BBMs left. We'll hop into our second to last BBM of the year.
98:27should hop on it this year. You'd make bank. Eh, I think you'd be shocked how little I convert during the season.
98:37It would only make bank uh if the draft guide was a monthly subscription that you stayed on for the perks of a trade calc. You drafted
98:48by the right team determines your future.
98:50That's a good point.
98:53Some good titans to put in the flex into a happy guard titan premium probably like the really late ones, man. Like uh
99:03like Dalton Schultz, TJ Hawinson types.
99:08I think Tyreek could have been one of the best soccer players in the world if he grew up in the Real Madrid. Here,
99:13here's what I say that I've I've failed to get off my chest. Um, dude, did we really not get a damn
99:20Oh my god, you're killing me, bro.
99:24111, dude.
99:29I mean, this is Yeah, I got nothing, bro. But take that I've been wanting to get off my te uh head for a while or off
99:35my chest for a while is like every England guy's like uh rebuttal to that is like, well, athleticism doesn't matter. like Messi is the smallest dude
99:45in the world and not that athletic and he's an awesome soccer player and I'll give you that. But I'll also give you
99:50that like I think if American Americans cared enough they would still dominate the sport and that like Tom Brady and Steph
99:57Curry are like two of the best athletes of my generation and neither would look special in an NFL or NBA combine
100:08setting. You know, there is like something to like the cerebral nature of an athlete that I think is still bred in
100:16America but not filtered through the soccer system.
100:20So, I'm not even really saying like, oh, get LeBron out there and Giannis and get Tyreek Hill and all these guys. I just
100:25think our pool of athletes don't give a damn about soccer.
100:32All right, let's make our last pick here and stop quit rambling.
100:37Um, let's do let's do Deont Clayborn.
100:52All right, there we go. We are on the clock in our next draft.
100:58We're going to take Yeah, we'll do Jefferson. I can't help myself but to take Jefferson there.
101:10I can't.
101:26All right, here we are. Let's make this pick and then I'll recap you guys on how this draft started.
101:57111, bro.
101:59You have the same crazy Brady had. I honestly kind of believe that when it comes to Mendoza, find a very hard time
102:04believing that US athletes would be able to dominate. Yeah, I agree.
102:08I agree. And I don't even know about dominate. I just think I just think that if soccer was more popular, we'd we'd at
102:13least be in the mix in the mix more so than we are now. That's all I would say.
102:18I I I wouldn't say that like we'd have the most World Cups or anything crazy like that, but I think it's somewhere in the middle. I
102:26think it's somewhere in the middle.
102:26There's people out there that are like, "Oh, well, if Tyreek Hill and uh LeBron James and all these guys could play in the uh could play soccer, like
102:36we would go like, you know, just give them like three months to train." And it's like, no, no, no, no. That's not
102:40how that works.
102:42But I do think if our best athletes train soccer, we would probably be we would probably be in the same quality
102:51range of like a Portugal would be my take, man. And the top the top dogs in the
103:04Prem and in Spain and stuff, those guys those guys are making bread.
103:19Yeah, the the whole the whole youth system in America for so that's like a whole other conversation, but it's broken. But like youth sports are kind
103:26of broken in general in America. It's just that like soccer is a really tough one cuz it's like if you're not in like FC
103:35Barcelona's youth academy by the time you're like 11 like you're cooked which is crazy to say but it's just kind of
103:42how it works.
103:54Like who's this guy? Uh, damn it. Who the hell is this new guy?
103:59He's like Cavin or something like that.
104:00Like Harrison Cavin, something among those. I can't think of his actual name, but he's like 17 or something and he plays for an MLS team.
104:10And it's like the the clock is ticking, bro. Like, you you need to go play overseas. Like, get the [ __ ] out of the
104:16MLS and go over there.
104:20Cavin Sullivan. That's exactly who who it is.
104:23Um, let's do Jaylen Waddle here and see what comes back.
104:32Yeah, exactly. The college system it it's the issue with the college system in America for soccer is that if you if
104:39you're playing, you know, if you're playing soccer for Duke University, you're already cooked. Like, but it's tough because that system works
104:47for all of our other sports, you know?
104:49So, it's just uh it's a tough situation, I guess.
104:55This guy goes three straight running backs here.
105:03What's it going to be, pal?
105:06He takes lad.
105:08Let's take Josh Allen then.
105:13I have way too many of like this exact team, but it's whatever.
105:40He'll be the truth. You're calling him the LeBron of soccer.
105:44Think improving the quality of MLS is the best chance, which has been happening. Yeah, that's true. I mean, we're getting a lot of the overseas
105:49guys. Is did Leandowski sign here? I remember seeing that headline during the World Cup.
105:55I want to say 11 daskkeep, but it's just like all these guys are like old as Like I remember when Ibra came
106:01over like obviously Messi uh Jordi Alba to play with Messi.
106:08What you got you what you guys know about? I know about Jordi Alba.
106:13I know about Danny Alves.
106:17All my knowledge is just from Ultimate Team.
106:26Um, I guess what do you mean by money drafts? Like uh the like what counts like best baseball dynasty managed.
106:39You're picked 10 and a 10 man.
106:43You're picked 10 and a 10man p.
106:49I think that's fine going one wide receiver and one running back. That works.
106:56But now that I've answered that, please do not spam that again.
107:01No, MLS is a retirement league.
107:06when money is on the line. I mean, we're talking if it's just like any league with money on the line, it's like
107:14the ballpark is like 450 underdog balls like this, like 12 dynasty leagues and then like 24
107:27reddraft managed leagues.
107:36I drafted Roman Burden. Who should I trade? Um, I hate a question like that, but I think that you can just let it rock for now.
107:46Unless it's two wide receiver, one flex.
107:48If it's two wide receiver, one flex, then maybe. But I don't know.
107:59Robert Leandowski went to your favorite MLS team, the Chicago Fire. Hell yeah.
108:08First serious year playing fantasy football. Why aren't we concerned about Mike McDaniel? What Mike McDaniel said about Hampton? Um, I would say for a few
108:15reasons. One reason being that McDaniel is a cheat code for fantasy running backs. Like he has uh he has had Devon
108:23Aeroster both in the same season finish as an RB1 before. So, like even if there's a bit of a split, like there's a
108:30damn good chance that uh in addition to Hampton, like there could be more fantasy goodness to go around.
108:40Um, in addition to that, Katon Mitchell, the most talented running back behind him, is dealing with an injury. Uh, and Mike
108:48McN just kind of hops on the mic and says [ __ ] man. Like, he uh is a big goofy and I just want pieces of the
108:55Chargers backfield.
109:00Yeah, I uh McDaniel's one of the coaches where I wouldn't read too much into what he says is my point.
109:09Let's switch it up and take a Raandre here. We've done a lot of Henderson overandre. Let's switch it up with Raandre.
109:18How many subscriber leagues do you offer? Uh, I'm going to do the drawing tomorrow, but it's four separate leagues that meet together for a tournament.
109:29When Taylor and Hampton from the 108 pass on Jefferson at the eight thoughts?
109:32Uh, I'm JT over Jefferson.
109:41Does anyone drink roll? What the hell is Rolling Rock?
109:46It's a very This is just a really broad question. why I kind of skipped over it at first. Um, any tips from the 111? Um,
110:03it's tough to just give you kind of a crash course on the 111. I I have videos like I would check out my videos on uh I
110:09talked about like my the the best draft spots to pick from, all of that. But I guess I probably go one wide receiver, one running back,
110:18unless both Lamb or Jefferson go and then kind of see what comes back to me.
110:30Uh, I'm L I'm Lamb over Jettis.
110:45What's the best strategy for an eight-man league? I never played an eightman league either, man. Um in an eight-man league, I got nothing, bro. I'm trying to think
111:01through. It's always like tricky. I think quarterback and tight end get a boost, but I'm also not sure because the waiverss are going to be cracked.
111:10the waiverss are going to be cracked, but it's also like everyone's so cracked that like quarterback and Titan is probably the
111:18easiest way to get a real advantage over everyone else.
111:26Yeah, we talked about the underdog stuff earlier. It just it just kind of sucks.
111:29It just sucks. Um, I'm lucky that my livelihood isn't attached to that sponsorship. And like also, oh, all of the content I do around
111:40underdog drafts like happens in the summer. So, it sucks that, you know, starting September 10th, I can't draft.
111:44But, um, it's also not a big deal for me personally until next summer, which we can then kind of step back and evaluate
111:54things.
112:00But it will be a bummer. I mean, you guys know I draft the the baseball, basketball, stuff like that. But that's
112:06just for fun.
112:10I think there's also a chance that I that there's drafts in New York, so I can still draft in New York whenever I
112:15want. So, we'll see. We have um I also don't drink beer.
112:24How did you do did you do any of the BDG six-man drafts on underdog?
112:29Oh, like the badge bros. Uh, I didn't.
112:35QB gets a huge boost in eight man. I think you're right. How excited are you for football to start in one word?
112:41Stoked. Stoked. I'm gassed up.
112:46Just do what Gretch did and drive to the board and enter slow drafts. Yeah, that's true.
112:53Do you think injoku could have a Dolphins Darren Waller type season?
112:56Honestly, it's not out of the range.
113:00What are a couple things you looked back on and evaluated from your best balls last season? It's really tough to evaluate best ball, man, cuz you just
113:07like there's there's hundreds of teams and there's really not many takeaways cuz like it's tough to go case by case and figure out like what went wrong.
113:19You either had the guys or you didn't is kind of what it comes down to. I guess like structurally I've definitely
113:23learned some things of like um something that I I used to not do uh when I was a you know a young lad in
113:30the basketball streets is I would do a lot of two quarterback and two tight end builds. Now I think that I I really try
113:35and lean into at least one of the two positions to have like three of them. Um not draft so much quantity at receiver.
113:43But again like it just kind of is like did you have the guy did the guy that you drafted a lot of did he get hurt?
113:50Did he bust? Pause.
113:54Uh, let's make our next pick here.
113:58Let's take Let's take Dude, I I continue to hammer Dod here down the stretch of the the draft season. We'll see how it
114:05goes. But no, get out of here.
114:11Not much difference between Lamb and Jefferson versus Olive.
114:16Get out of here.
114:19Do you join the Patreon? Do you have a shot at the subscriber leagues? You do, but a very small shot. Um, it's uh so
114:25it's up to you. I I draw the names tomorrow. It's a Google form.
114:31How it works is based on your lifetime spend on Patreon. Every dollar that you spend on Patreon goes into a lottery
114:37that gets, you know, like like it's one ticket per dollar. And then I have like a essentially AI then just like pulls
114:45the drawing of like 40 or so names. um if you were to sign up tonight or whatever, you'd have a very very low
114:53chance. You'd have a very low chance.
114:54There's probably over like 200 people that are signed up. Um you would only have uh like 12 tickets in there. So, I
115:04don't want to sell you on a dream. I'd put your percentage chance to get in there at like 1 to 2% if I'm being straight up. Uh,
115:13I'm not going to sell you on a I'm not going to sell you on a on a pipe dream.
115:25Let's see how many. So, we're at 212 responses.
115:29So, you figure like 40 or so are going to get invited. I can't remember how many of the winners are in. So, you have
115:35a base chance of 18%, but that's of course weighted in either direction based on how much uh how long you've been subscribed. Do I have a good shot
115:43with 135 tickets?
115:47Yeah. Yeah, you should you should be in that about like 20 to 25% range. I know it is a bummer, but it's to me it's just
115:53the most fair way to do it. It's it's really tough. And I do like the aspect that if you've if you've won the overall
115:59prize before, you get an automatic bid.
116:01I think that's actually one of the cooler perks of winning.
116:23Who the hell is Mattel?
116:26I don't know how I feel. Oh, Madic, I assume you mean. Um, not really. Uh, I think Colar is a good player. I guess
116:32he's a fine 18th round baseball pick, but I struggle to see the upside with Colar.
116:43Please do not bust on me. Jir Gibbs, dude, at this point, I'll do anything for Jamir Gibbs. Love D, but I was out
116:47of position.
116:51Yeah, just the Patreon.
116:55Just the Patreon for the reason that Patreon's like more community- based.
117:01Like there's no place on the draft guide to like go join the Patreon or go join the Discord or whatever. But like
117:06obviously if you're on the Patreon, you get the draft guide for half off, which like technically it's cheaper to get one month of Patreon and buy the
117:14draft guide than it is to just buy the draft guide.
117:18Uh yes, it's on Sleeper. Let's take Kyle Pittz again.
117:25No, let's do Conpsion. Let's do Conpsion because this guy already has a tight end. He's not going to take both.
117:36He He did take one of them. Okay. Well, that kind of sucks because now I have to take Fannon and Conpsion,
117:44but whatever. Oh, we might actually just take Bonix.
117:54We could take Bonix and just be done at QB. Oh, he takes B next. Are you Dude, if you're wa Are you watching this [ __ ]
118:04All right, give me Fannon. Fine. We'll do both the Browns. Screw it.
118:16So transparent. Are you an English guy?
118:19Yeah. I I guess I just feel like uh being real with you guys has uh paid off, man.
118:28I like also when you think about it like uh I'm fortunate enough that I don't have to like I don't have to beg anybody to join the
118:40Patreon. Uh like I I don't need the $12 bad enough to sell you on like oh yeah, you'll definitely get in the subscriber
118:46league.
118:57What the hell is What the hell is this?
118:58I don't even want to say this out loud, bro.
119:06Underwood. The truth. [laughter] Well, who the there's a guy named Lil
119:22John on this. I I have the audio from this Western Michigan game that I've just been have like I haven't really
119:28been paying attention, but this I don't know who's calling this game, but he's like John, Lil John.
119:37There's There must be a Lil John on Western Michigan.
119:48Man, I'm so uh I'm so I'm so lucky, man.
119:50This is my main hustle. It's crazy that it is. It is absurd that it is, but um we do all right, man. We do all right.
120:01We don't do amazing, but we do all right.
120:08Yeah, his name is Little John. It's literally Little John.
120:15What the What the I gota What? Who the hell is this kid?
120:30Who is this guy?
120:40I can't figure out what team this Little John guy is on.
120:48Little John, Michigan.
120:53Amazing. Amazing.
120:58Little John. No. No chance.
121:04No, no, [laughter] no. There is no way, dude. Look at this amazing little John.
121:12No chance. That's on his driver's license, bro.
121:19No chance. Amazing Little John.
121:24That's a Hall of Fame name. That's Hall of Fame.
121:29Amazing little I I can't get over that.
121:34That that beats Lil Jordan Humphrey for one of my favorite names ever.
121:43Y'all think that that's like for real on his driver's license.
121:47I don't see why not, but it's just crazy.
121:56Let's do Wandelle and kind of see where we're at on the next turn.
122:04What was his path?
122:08What is he? Um, true sophomore. It seems like he's just Oh, you played at South Carolina last
122:33year.
122:43Oh, so he played at he played at South Carolina for two years and did nothing.
122:47He only showed in one game and now he's on Western Michigan.
122:52What a damn name, kid.
123:10Come back an hour later and you still at the one two turn. Yeah, dude. It's been a lot of that this summer.
123:20Beer Sheets used to make I know I remember beer sheets on Reddit.
123:37Who brought up Boris? Like I can't remember what I was what I was on about.
123:44a guy just had abortion for life because you know what's funny guys like honestly it's crazy we keep on getting crazy um
123:54you know we like keep on growing every year and kind of growing away from my roots. Uh but when I first
124:01started like the story of this channel is when I first started I would post videos onto Reddit. They would get downvoted to [ __ ] I actually ended up
124:07getting banned from Reddit uh the r/fantasy football uh subreddit for a little bit for self-promotion. And I I deserve to get banned by the way. I was
124:16flooding their [ __ ] with shitty videos.
124:20Um but there were some creators on and it's why I still shout out like shout out to Subverta Down. He was somebody that was
124:26posting on there at the time. Beer Sheets.
124:29Um maybe like FF Donkey uh on like Rasball was one of them. Like we're talking OG right now. I'm racking my
124:36brain for like dudes that were making content on uh the r/fantasy football Reddit when I was there doing it.
124:48But yes, I remember beer sheets.
124:49Remember subverted down? Like I said, I remember there was like some Razall creators.
124:56I got like blood on my I'm a mess right now, fellas. I'm a mess. I'll just be honest.
125:04It's been a long August.
125:06bleeding from places I don't know about.
125:08I don't know.
125:12Yeah, shout out. I saw Suburdown got picked up by uh Jig Zachares over at like the late round stuff, which good
125:19for him, dude. That's awesome.
125:25You guys think Cam Ward and Josh Allen's enough at quarterback?
125:32We think Allen Ward is enough at QB. I'm torn. I think probably not. I think we probably go three quarterbacks.
125:48I think we'd probably go 3573 is where I lean.
125:53We could take Straoud here.
126:07Let's do more browns. [ __ ] it.
126:17When are you making noises in the back?
126:24Pepper Tony, you're saying it's it's Cam Warden and Josh Allen and that's fine.
126:30I think I lean that way as well.
126:35So now the team right now is Allen Ward, Saquon Randre, Rico Dattle, Dylan Samson, a [ __ ] ton of receivers.
126:44I'm thinking we draft three tight ends.
126:47Can either be a 2673 or a 2593 or No, no, no, no, no.
126:56or a 26.
126:59No, no, no, no, no.
127:03Either a 2673 or a 2583.
127:10It is September 5th and I'm shot.
127:22How long have I been an F1 fan? Hm.
127:28Essentially, I think like since I I'll be real with you, like I I I've only been a fan of it because of the Netflix show. I think
127:38like season two, essentially the season uh the season after sadly the season after uh the Max verse Lewis at Abu
127:49Dhabi finish.
127:54So that's like maybe 2021, something like that.
128:02But that's obviously like the best season ever. Um, last season was pretty damn good though. But, um, I'm trying to think of like Yeah,
128:13that was it.
128:16Yeah. Drive to Survive. Yeah. Grojan tra crash. Remember that?
128:36My 105 this year is Macaffrey.
128:44Uh what do you guys I'm talking about best baseball here, fellas. I'm talking about best ball with the backup quarterback stuff.
128:54Like there is no wafer wire in this league.
128:58Like you drafted and that's it. How many drafts you got left? says one one more after this and then that's all she wrote for BBMs.
129:09We might get really weird in the next one. I don't know. We'll see. I might just I might just do like a super
129:14extreme zero RB for the fun of it.
129:36My thumb is like bleeding, bro.
129:44I'm a mess right now, dude.
129:51Let's do Sadi. Yes, sir. I like that.
129:58Yeah. dry skin, bug bites. I'm fellas, we're we're limping to the finish line here.
130:11We're going to take Gunner Helm to Cam Ward.
130:16Yeah, everyone manifest a 101 here for the final for the final draft.
130:34Oh, dude. Bryce Underwood might be trash, bro.
130:40Bryce Underwood might be trash, dude.
130:43Guy was in here uh the other day telling me how good Bryce Underwood was.
130:48I don't know. I don't know about that, man.
130:54And it's a damn shame because he was the guy coming out of high school.
131:00Like it's Western Michigan, bro. Figure it out. Holy [ __ ] We're throwing got lucky that wasn't a pick six.
131:09Just Just throwing roast beef sandwiches in the flat.
131:15That can't happen against Western Michigan, dude.
131:24That can't happen.
131:29Appreciate the super chat. Uh, home league 112, welcome to the club, brother. You went Walker, AJ Brown. I'd like to know what your starting lineup
131:37is.
131:46So, Kenneth Walker, AJ Brown, three wide receiver, one flex. Ooh, that changes things. Walker, AJ Browns, AT P Wash on the flex. Jameson Williams off the
131:54bench. Bill off the bench. Bill actually as your RB2, which I think is fine.
131:59Jacobs, Harvey, Jaden Daniels, Concaid.
132:03Yeah, that's fine. That works.
132:06If I had to go to one of the directional Michigan schools, what would it be?
132:11What is it? Central Michigan Eastern. I don't know. I don't know anything about those schools.
132:19I think I'd go to whichever one is in the Mac or are multiple in the MAC.
132:26Maybe multiple are in the MAC now that I think about it.
132:31Like Eastern Michigan has a has a gimmicky uh Eastern Michigan has a gimmicky field, right? It's like blue or greener or not green obviously, but I think it's
132:39like blue or something or gray.
132:43I don't know. I might be way off on that. I know. Wyoming and Boise have gimmick fields. Uh, am I doing Lloyd
132:50Cook and T?
132:53So, Marshon Lloyd, James Cook, and T.
132:54Higgins for Jir Gibbs and Christian Watson. Uh, yes. Yes. I don't even need to really know anything else, dude.
133:14All right, fellas. We are five picks away. In the meantime, I'm going to hop into our last BBM of the summer.
133:20Probably our last underdog draft of the summer, at least on stream.
133:24Uh, here she is. Number one. Please get me the 101, bro. Please, dude. Let me actually Come on. Please, please,
133:37please give it a nice little nice little love tap. Bang.
133:43Give me it, bro.
133:46Give me the 101.
133:50Give me the 101.
133:52I just got to stay right here, bro. Oh, it's going to be a long [ __ ] season, bro.
134:04Dude, I don't want to root against Jamir Gibbs, bro.
134:08I don't want to.
134:11But they've given me no choice.
134:17All right, we're going to do Nick Singleton to Cam Ward and then I lean probably another running back here. Probably a 2673.
134:29It's where my head goes.
134:48Yeah, let's do I think we're going to do another running back.
134:54Let's do Is Jaylen Wright available?
134:57Yeah, let's scroll down for Jaylen Wright.
135:03All right, on to the next.
135:07All right, our final one, fellas. Let's make it count. Let's make it count.
135:16Yeah, it's [ __ ] It's [ __ ] that I'm fading field or uh Gibbs, bro.
135:23Can't believe it.
135:36Michigan coach seems pissed at the halftime interview.
135:41Uh, let's do James Cook.
135:45Let's do actually no, we don't have enough. We need more Almond Raw. Need more Almond Raw.
136:02pretty sure the stat of the 101 finishing I I I get it, but it's also like it's a flawed stat. And I also do
136:08strongly believe that Jamir Gibbs is the strongest 101 candidate since I've started making content. I really do believe that.
136:21Super or super chat from Jake.
136:23Appreciate it. 10man PPR double flex the 101. How do you feel about taking Leland in the fifth over someone like Lad?
136:33I think that's fine. I have Leland ranked over lad.
136:43So, it's just like it's just such a shitty year for me to get no 101s.
136:47Usually usually I'm pretty spread out and I've never really felt like this before, but it's absurd. Nathan, I don't know if you saw, but we we we're signed
136:55up for an FFPC main event tomorrow to stream, and we got the 112. Like, I I've never I'm at a loss for words for my
137:02draft slot luck.
137:05Where would this year's Bejon rank in their strongest candidates?
137:10I'd have to really go back through time.
137:16I'd have to really go back in time.
137:19I suppose Prime McAffrey was a damn good um wow Saquon Aman Rostar is awesome.
137:25We'll take that all day. Um I I suppose Primear's Maccaffrey would be up there, but of course like he was
137:33just always banged up and stuff. Uh like we're talking po like 2020 McCaffrey is probably the the best 101 I
137:42can recall.
137:48I'm trying to think.
138:27Also, fellas, I'm in three Devi leagues. I
138:38tweeted this out earlier today. Here's the Devi players I'm watching. I have Arch, Jace Brown on two Devi teams.
138:44Amarian Miller, who I like, Trade Green, Isaac Brown, Dylan Raola, Keon Russell, Jared Curtis, Deuce Robinson, Mike Matthews, Perry Thompson, Tavian
138:52Sinclair, Quincy Porter, DJ Laguay, and Husan Long Street. These are my guys I'll be rooting for uh this college football season.
139:01Nothing really to say with that. Devi Leagues, I'll be honest, I don't recommend deviagues unless if you like are a true sicko.
139:08It's really really degenerate drafting players out of high school and stuff, but it is a fun format to sprinkle in with your I I'm in three. I'm in three
139:16debut leagues and that's probably where I'll I'll max out.
139:25Hey, John Fanta on the halftime show.
139:27Come on. I love John Fanta, bro.
139:32I don't know. We were talking about it earlier that I'm a Seen Hall basketball fan, but anybody who knows Big East
139:38basketball knows John Fanta. John Fanta is the man, dude.
139:44I love that they got him on the college football halftime show.
139:53Yeah, Debbie is every every year you draft players. Uh the players that you draft are the incoming high school class or guys
140:03who like didn't get draft like Malachi Tony was the first overall pick in our debie draft.
140:14Oh yeah, Bree Hall is going on this team. Come on now.
140:18Oh yeah, Fanta. Fanta is moving up in this world. I I think that he deserves the world. I think that he's one of I I
140:24mean, he's going to get there really soon, but he's he's one of the best we got in the sports world. Fanta, he's
140:30just like so enthusiastic about all of it. He gets it. He He's amazing. I love John Fanta. I can't stress it enough. I
140:38think he's a Seat Hall alumni, too.
140:41I think he started doing Seat and Hall coverage and has just kind of gone from there. But he's he's great. If any of
140:46you guys don't know who John Fanta is, get get familiar with him. He's he's awesome.
140:57Let me get IA, bro. There we go.
141:05Bree. Oh, yeah. Bree over the Williamses every time.
141:09Why do I dislike auction leagues? Uh, I've said this before, man. I'm just really vanilla when it comes to fantasy football, dude. like
141:18Superflex or Titan Premium is the craziest I'll go. I don't do the 16 teamers or the 14 teamers or auction or salary or guillotine,
141:28whatever. It's just not for me.
141:31But I don't yuck others yums. If if you know that's what you enjoy playing in, that's fine by me.
141:42Uh Cyrus Allen just like the buzz kind of ran out and it seems like he's pretty firmly like the wide receiver form and
141:46purely a rotational piece right now. But uh I really moved him down a tier.
141:52Latest news on Ibuka's toe seems to be positive. But I will say Todd Bulls is a dumbass and um I have a hard time taking
142:02anything that he says seriously.
142:05But I don't mind Iuka.
142:30W summer of drafts watched everyone.
142:31Hell yeah, dude.
142:33These teams that draft defensive players are the weirdest me. What are you talking about?
142:40Uh, a book over Garrett Wils. I already had Bree Hall.
142:45What's up, Bob? Bobby.
142:58Let's do We already have two running backs on this team.
143:02Let's do Christian Watson, man.
143:09Uh, what would you consider the ideal dynasty format? Been thinking about firing one up. Superflex, three wide receiver, no defense kicker. Uh, that
143:15sounds about right. I would say probably three wide receiver, two flex, and then a superflex spot is probably ideal with a tight end premium. I'd say super flex,
143:24tight end premium, three wide receivers, two flex spots, no kicker defense, deep bench, IR spots.
143:31Um, and Taxi Squad spots.
143:38Yeah, this guy's doing five wide receivers in a row, huh? From the three spot. Chase Pickkins, Olve Williams, and Parker Washington.
144:02Yeah, I know. This is nuts. Start time for Clemson LSU.
144:06Crazy.
144:10Oh, that's you, DJ. It's getting weird in here.
144:16Is this your last draft, too? Uh, yeah.
144:19Weekly rankings will be out on the Patreon.
144:23Uh, that's actually a great reminder.
144:24I'm actually going to write that down to um like when I get the uh [sighs] basement league stuff figured out tomorrow on the Patreon. I need to do a
144:34announcement on like what to expect in season schedule-wise.
144:51All right, we are up.
145:06Let's do Tate H. Let's do Arandre. Let's me.
145:12Fine.
145:14Yeah, it starts on Wednesday, which means I'll definitely have my first set of weekly rankings out Wednesday around lunchtime. I always wait late. Like I
145:21know it's like it's kind of tough because I know people like really like you know people are going to log on this
145:26week on like Monday and want to set their lineups, but it's like I usually wait until like during the season I'll I'll do my weekly rankings
145:35on the Patreon like Thursday around lunchtime because I want as much info as possible. like I I want all the injury
145:41news. I want all the updates, all of that. So, it's tough. I understand that everyone like wants to kind of like feed
145:46their, you know, everyone wants to like set their lineup, look at what their team looks like, but it's tough. It's also tough to carve
145:54out that time to like really sit down and and be thoughtful about it.
146:03Less talented wide receiver than Rash just as productive in fantasy. No.
146:10Yep, that sounds about right.
146:14What do you think of taking Bowowers McBride in a league?
146:21Uh, I think that's fine. That's a fine idea in terms of like shallow bench spot.
146:2812 team happy PR, six point passing touchdown.
146:34What's the uh starting lineup?
146:37You have your home league tonight? Hell yeah, dude.
146:43Of course, man. What we do?
146:46You also side while drafting Raandre.
146:48Yeah.
146:50Yep. That's a great point, dude.
146:51Everyone's been very hush- hush about the injuries because they really they haven't had to. Two wide receiver two flex. Let's see. Pat
147:01Farm, what what uh what part of Jersey are you from? I remember you saying that you're a Jersey guy. Two wide receiver
147:06two flex. You got Saquon Walker, McBride, Wadd Moore, J Mo, Brooks in the flex, Justin Herbert, Rita's a flex option, Conpsion on a flex option.
147:18I probably don't go pretty if I have Herbert, but I think the team sounds good.
147:34Damn. You take You take Metaf.
147:39All right. We're going to take a naked Jaden Daniels here. It just makes sense.
147:43Actually, no, we're not. We're going to take Jaden. Jayen Reed's my guy. These the in the my guys video are the players
147:49I'm betting everything on. We We talked about Reed and Watson together. Why not put them on the same damn team? Screw
147:54it.
147:57We'll punt onesies.
148:00Central NJ and Middle Sex County moved to Mammoth County last year.
148:04Mammoth County is like the shore, right?
148:08That's where Bengal's from. If you guys know the YouTuber Bengal, I I hope I'm not doxing him. I think people I think
148:13that's known.
148:16But that's like the shore, right? That's like uh is like Asbury Park and like seaside Monmouth or am I
148:25wrong on that?
148:29Give me some towns in uh Monmouth. Give me some towns. Is like is that like long branch?
148:52I see. I see.
148:56I never heard of Mount Eframe. But you're saying that's Camden County? Oh jeez.
149:01I didn't know there was a Camden County.
149:03I knew that there was a Camden.
149:06What's your address and apartment number?
149:10Okay, I'm aware of Manelappen and Freehold.
149:33I know Madawan.
149:35Madawan home. Yeah, let's do
150:02Let's do Cororum. Screw it.
150:06We're drafting [clears throat] a lot of running backs. Probably we're going to only end up needing five RBs on this team. We got to catch up everywhere else
150:12now.
150:16Big fan. Morristown. Hell yeah, dude.
150:18Hell yeah.
150:21Morristown's like where I grew up essentially. I grew up uh like Rockaway Dville.
150:28up in like uh like probably 20 minutes north getting super niche. But my town's known
150:45for the Rockway Mall.
150:48people come. I mean, back in like now the mall's dead, but back when the mall was buzzing, people would come up to
150:53Rockaway for the Rockaway Mall.
151:01And I've had some Morristown's got some fun bars and stuff, too.
151:09Is Hendo dead? Uh, I don't think so. But this injury is not great.
151:20You're from Summit?
151:23Summit used to beat the [ __ ] out of us in lacrosse, bro. Summit used to beat the [ __ ] out of us in lacrosse. Holy
151:31Some of the biggest ass beatings I can remember in lacrosse was against Summit.
151:45Yeah, Hendo's not looking good. I I still will say I I still am fine with the seasonl long bet on Henderson, but
151:51uh I will have him pretty buried in the week one rankings is what I would say.
152:14Wow, Jim Trussel got inducted into the uh Ring of Honor. That's cool.
152:32What draft loss have I had tonight? I don't even want to talk about it, man. I don't even want to talk about it.
152:42Yeah, let's not even risk it and let's just take Jordan Love here, I think. H, we could risk it.
152:49Yeah, we will risk it.
152:52What's it going to be, guy?
153:01takes pits.
153:08No, we can't we can't mess around with love. I don't think we're going for the super team.
153:34Uh yeah, whenever the game kicks off, I'll be watching Clemson LSU. Yeah, Raandre is going to be a solid week one
153:40projection. He'll be like RB 18 or something like that, I'd guess.
153:46Just shooting from the hip on that. By the way, Seattle is a really tough defense, though.
153:58Man, it's really that time again, dude.
154:00The I I will be honest with you guys.
154:01Like, I'll be straight up. Like, I definitely uh I definitely like the offseason stuff more than the inseason stuff. I I I
154:10mean, I think we all do, but like grinding the matchups and stuff, it's tough.
154:16got to start caring about who's on the defensive line and what um you know, who's like the the third easiest team against running backs and
154:27like at what point in the season does that stuff matter.
154:39Um I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm a waiver fiend as well. I I actually enjoy I I think I have a good edge on waiver
154:45stuff, but the week to week like dude, when we're when we're splitting hairs between like the wide receiver 29 and the wide receiver 30,
154:53it look smart for me to tell you that it's kind of just to shrug your shoulders, but it is what I tell like
154:57when I do my start sit streams, dude. If I have two guys back to back in the same tier, dude, like at the end of the day,
155:03you're the one who's got to live with what happens in that lineup, bro. So you you decide. You know what I mean? Like I
155:09know you're looking for my answer. My answer is that he's my wide receiver 29.
155:13The other guy's my wide receiver 30. But if they're back to back in the same tier at the end of the day,
155:21it's up to you.
155:25Yeah, this is the last draft.
155:29This is it. I mean, we'll double like Yeah, we're Yep. Max reach. There
155:39it is.
155:46in your one team league. How fast you throw a fantasy draft capital? That's a great question.
155:58Probably like four weeks, something around there.
156:39you be throwing it out instantly. I don't hate that. There's always a stat I throw out there that um h what do I There's always a lessons
156:49learned stat I throw out there which I will say shout out to Adam Harstad. To me, he's one of like the founding
156:54fathers of fantasy. And I will say I really do take pride that I care about the uh I guess I guess I would call him like
157:03the founding fathers of fantasy football. Like of course you have Matthew Barry, but some of the other guys that have grinded on football guys
157:07and stuff for a long time and have done really good work that you know like we're talking like written pieces back
157:12in like 2014 that I think really still hold up. But uh Adam Harststeide had a really good piece back in the day that
157:19ADP that like it's like about like week four that your production outweighs the
157:29predictability of ADP.
157:33So like scientifically that's around when you should really like not give a damn about where you drafted a player.
157:41Please let me go Baker. Please let me go Baker.
157:47There we go. Thank you. All right, we got to catch up at receiver now.
157:53Yep. I I know I know Bagley went to uh Summit. I know that he went to uh Miami.
158:01Him and uh I think him and David and Jooku cross paths at Miami. And Baggley was a better uh lacrosse player I
158:07believe than or maybe not a better lacrosse player, but I know that he was a damn good lacrosse player. Michael Baggley,
158:23I'm I'm way too tapped into New Jersey high school football.
158:42Shuck in six point passing touchdown superflex. Uh that's fine by me. Two QB2 and a superflex.
158:49I remember dude he had some awesome pictures uh on like Instagram back when he was at Miami. Like I know I remember
158:55he had like a aviators pitch uh picture with like um like mullet flowing out the back.
159:06Let's do we could do a falling. Yeah, let's do let's do Shakir.
159:10Oh, I that that's why it pains me so much that um I I've been getting killed for my baseball prowess or whatever.
159:18It's because in the spring I was playing lacrosse and I was good. Like lacrosse was my best sport. Um, which sucks of
159:24course because lacrosse like there's no pipeline. It It's like you play lacrosse then like maybe you play for a little bit at like
159:34Notre Dame or John Hopkins when I was growing up and then you sell insurance.
159:40Like there's no uh no one gives a damn about the uh what the hell is MLL whatever. I know like of course you have
159:47Paul Rabel and whatever but like I don't know. I think it's maybe a little bit better and more lucrative now, but um I
159:53was like a uh my favorite position I ever played was in middle school. I got to play uh like attack midi where
160:02essentially the the long stick stick midi would come off I'd get to come on only when we play on offense or like
160:08attack or whatever. Um and I get to create offense from the top which is awesome like from the point. Um, and
160:15then like if we turn the ball over, I would just get to haul ass off and the LSM comes in for me. Um,
160:22but I uh in high school I played attack, which was cool. I I um got to like definitely a little bit more unorthodox
160:31where I'm like just like a super tall 63 dude playing attack out there. But uh it was fun. A lot of like uh back to the
160:40basket type [ __ ] like with my basketball uh background. But yeah, I enjoyed it. I I still I I sold all of my old lacrosse
160:48equipment of like shoulder pads, gloves, or not. Actually, I still have a pair of gloves, I think, and I still have my
160:53stick. I'll never give up my stick. I think every lacrosse guy out there knows you have a sacred bond with your stick.
161:04Which is like deep down inside it's like, oh, like you're you're not an athlete at all. Like you suck. I'm out
161:08there like looking like a [ __ ] trying to play softball. You put a lacrosse stick in my hand and I can do
161:13some cool [ __ ] All right, let's let's not get it twisted.
161:19Let's not get it twisted now.
161:24Uh I know Dukes.
161:36Who should the MVP should have been?
161:47with the high school at Montville. Oh, I know St. Joe's.
161:53Oh, McCordi brothers went there. That's crazy, dude. I knew Yeah, Brian Kushing went to Bergen Catholic.
162:00I think St. Joe's won the state championship last year, right?
162:07probably asked you this, but I'm in a superflex draft at the 103. Would you take ch Yeah, I'm Josh Allen over all
162:12the other players.
162:14Do I think make it back to you in the sec? It's always tough to gauge in a superflex, but I think one of the
162:19running backs you'll like.
162:22How high do I think Jeremiah Smith goes one, two? Uh I I don't I think Jeremiah Smith is different. I think Jeremiah Smith
162:29probably goes two three turn would be my guess, but we'll see. It really depends on where he lands.
162:39I could never trade sticks with another man. Could never.
162:51Let's do Let's do Dolan Schultz here.
163:06Family of the Shoulders and Summit, huh?
163:15No, that [ __ ] is hilarious, bro.
163:20I think dudes will come back eventually.
163:22So, your stick from like 15 years ago for fetching my dogs. Yep. That's what it's all about, man.
163:28Went to a Philly Wings game. Hell yeah, bro.
163:32How do you go about it? Your league mates don't value QBs and superflex.
163:39Um, you just gota you got to kind of just sweat them out, man. Like once your quarterback gets hurt or once they
163:44figure it out, it's just like I I think in that setup in round one, I think I would just go with a position player, man. Like I
163:51would look at the Y league mates draft and like I got Jaylen Herz in round three. I'm not saying that's what's
163:56going to happen in your league. I'm just saying like I I would say because you can just get Joe Burrow, dude. Like
164:05you can just get Joe Burrow and then not worry about QB until later. Like, you know, get a party later, get a um
164:14something like that. Jeremiah Smith goes to the Browns.
164:21I think he would probably be like a three four turn pick.
164:28somewhere around here. I think that he'd be somewhere in the the range of like T or Garrett Wilson. Like somewhere in
164:33like the the mid to early four.
164:39I I get it, but I think Jeremiah Smith is just in a different class, fellas.
164:42Like I I just think the uh the hype on Jeremiah Smith will be different.
164:51What's up? What's up, Hunter?
164:54four more picks on our last draft of the summer on underdog.
164:59We still have some We still have manage league drafts that we'll do Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
165:04So, be on the lookout for that.
165:22I think the Browns could justify.
165:24Jeremiah Smith is a guy where you just throw everything out, man.
165:28Yeah, Neighbors 23 turn did smash Let's do Kate Dton.
165:57Call it a day at tight end.
166:01Only need one more running back. We have how many picks? We have three picks left.
166:06Three picks. Probably going to be a quarterback, a running back, and a wide receiver. We're going to end up with a
166:103573 is where my head's at.
166:18Uh, I'm Chris Bell over Caleb Douglas.
166:22Hell of a summer. Thank you, man.
166:27I get it. I I get it. But look at look up Marvin Harrison Jr.'s freshman stats versus Jeremiah Smith. Like, it's just
166:34it's just a different it's just a different level.
166:41Smith to the Raiders would be awesome. I don't know if I missed it. Um, I've covered the underdog stuff a bunch, but
166:46I'm curious what you mean because I have gotten that question like what do you mean? What are you doing given the new underdog news?
166:54Cuz like I've gotten this question, but it's like my content at least in terms of like underdog drafts. We draft these teams in
167:01the summer. I don't do any inseason uh like I'm not doing like the week 2 drafts for content, you know?
167:12So, nothing really changes for me until next season. So, we'll kind of see how things trend over the next, you know,
167:19six or so months and then uh figure out what the plan is for 2027. But for 2026, we drafted our teams and that's kind of
167:27it.
167:38Let's do Let's do Chris Bell.
167:47Nah, nah, nah. Everyone's got to chill with that. Everyone's got to chill.
167:51Look, Malachi feel or Malachi Tony is awesome, but let's stop. Let's Let's Come on now.
167:59I can't stress enough what Jeremiah Smith did as a freshman is untouchable.
168:09No, I I I don't I didn't mean to single you out, Joe. It's just more like because throughout this stream, we've
168:14gotten kind of like the sky is falling type of stuff. Like, are you going to are you going to move? And and it's like
168:19I I would say it sucks. It's unfortunate. We'll kind of see what this all means for me next summer. Uh but
168:27like our draft stream, like my watch has kind of ended and we'll figure it out later, you know?
169:00This is my one of my favorite stats that I um that I tweeted out. Receiving yards per game as a true freshman. Jeremiah Smith
169:0982.2 receiving yards per game as a true freshman. The next best Garrett Wilson at 30.9. Tate at 20.3. Marv had 10.7.
169:19Jason had seven yards per game as a true freshman. I can't stress enough what Jeremiah Smith did as a true freshman
169:25next to other NFL studs is unheard of.
169:29It's unheard of at Ohio State to put up 80 yards per game as a true freshman.
169:36Like these like talk dog it brings a it brings a tear to my eye.
169:44It brings a tear to my eye, bro.
169:49I I I could truly get emotional talking about Jeremiah Smith. I really could.
170:03Wow. Clemson picks off LSU.
170:10Let's go, Gino.
170:17I it it's truly I I have never seen a three-year stretch like this guy is having. I I there's no um in all the
170:26time I've been doing this, I I have never seen three straight years and like not even to mention it's at Ohio State.
170:32It's um like I said, I I could shed a tear talking about this guy. Like it it's truly I I feel honored to be able to
170:40even be uh alive in the Jeremiah Smith era. Like I truly do feel that way. Um uh I I think any we're going to get to
170:49that off seasonason or I guess what that's going to be this off seasonason.
170:54Um [sighs] any any prospect model, any film grades that don't that not only have Jeremiah Smith as the wide receiver one, but if
171:03Jeremiah Smith isn't your wide receiver one in your model since Calvin Johnson. Uh, throw the whole thing out. Throw the whole thing out.
171:14Throw the whole thing out. Um, it it's it's unheard of what this guy has done at Ohio State next to nothing
171:24but studs, man.
171:26Carnel Tate, Acha, Ibuka, Marvin Harrison. H I think uh maybe not Marvin Harrison Jr. Maybe I'm bugging on that one.
171:36Yeah, I am bugging on that one. But next to Ibuka, next to Carnell Tate, like first round picks in the NFL.
171:47Yeah. And then he improves on 82 yards per game last year with 95 yards per game. Like it's it's just unreal. It's unreal.
172:01And I know this isn't like news to anybody. Like we all know, okay, Jeremiah Smith is good, but it's just like to follow it up with, oh, he goes
172:1282.2 yards per game. It's like, okay, it's it looks a little bad cuz it's like, okay, he had more yards, whatever,
172:18but it's because 16 games. In 13 games, he puts up 95 yards per game. I mean, it this it's I I have no words, dude. I have no
172:30words. 88 yards per game, 27 receiving touchdowns to his first 29 career games.
172:38Crazy.
172:44You know what, dude? I I'll pull Let's pull up his PFF page real quick before I get out of here. Let's pull up his PFF
172:49page.
172:59No, it's it really is, bro. It like I it is I could I could talk about Jeremiah Smith forever. And again, I know that
173:10everyone's like, "Oh, like we get it.
173:11He's awesome. We get it." And it's like I there's this thing on I guess like on Twitter or just like in general that
173:18like when somebody's awesome, it's like the first thing that everyone wants to do is like h he's like kind of overrated. He's kind of not Jeremiah
173:24like in there is nothing overrated about Jeremiah Smith. Last winter people were saying, "Oh, these look like DK Mechaf routes. He's not getting any
173:33separation." And then yesterday we're like, "Are we sure that Malachi Tonyy's not better than Jeremiah Smith?" Like, I'm sure, bro. I'm Malachi Tony's going
173:41to be awesome in his own right. But this is it's just it's a different it's a different league, man. It's just a
173:48different It's a different league.
173:51Um, his career yards per out run is 3.37, bro. His career yards per out run.
174:00That is, guys, that's crazy. Um, like what's a good uh, you know, like Marv was a good damn good prospect.
174:13Like, we can pull up Marvin Harrison's career guards per run. I I would guess his is like in the mid twos.
174:20two 2.98 for his career, which is good, but like 1.09 is a true freshman. It's this true freshman season that is just like what's
174:29so crazy for Jeremiah Smith is he was already there.
174:39And then just for fun, 802 routes, 802 routes with 220 targets.
174:47So 220 divided by 80 802 his targets per out run is 27%. I mean
174:5727% first downs per or 27% targets per run. Let's let's figure out his first downs per run. 116 first downs over 802
175:05routes.
175:08That's going to be an absurd number.
175:09Anything over 10% by the way is elite.
175:11So what? 116 divided by 802 is going to be Yeah. 14.5% of his his routes go for a first down. I mean, it's absurd. It's a
175:20It's um We're not worthy, guys. I I don't know. Um I don't know what else there is to say.
175:32Passer rating when targeted, 140. Like, everything's elite. Today, he had a perfect pass rating when targeted, by the way. Today, he has nine targets,
175:40eight catches, 151 yards, uh six yards per route run.
175:46eight eight separate first downs, 158 perfect pass rating when targeted, caught both of his contested catches.
175:54Yeah, it just um look, people are going to people are going to try their hardest to tear down Jeremiah Smith and say, "Oh, well, he's
176:03overrated." Or, "Oh, well, Marvin Harrison Jr., oh well, uh I don't know, Sammy Watkins, this and that."
176:11It's like, no, this guy is it's um the best I've ever seen. It's the best I've ever seen and it's not up for
176:18debate. Um but appreciate you guys watching our last underdog draft stream of the year. Uh we will have three more streams here before week one kicks off
