0:00What's going on, man? Welcome back to the basement.
0:06I'm Ron and we are on the clock in another highstakes fantasy football draft and we're going to take Puka here.
0:18And here is why. I guess people are starting to get spooked on the Puka suspension. Um, not me just yet. We are
0:25of course in a two wide receiver, two flex full PPR league. I was fully ready to take Christian McCaffrey at the 105,
0:33but instead this draft room had other ideas. How is everybody doing? What's going on? I'll be honest with everybody.
0:41I got a windbreaker on because I literally am out of breath. I just took the dog out in the rain, hooded up,
0:49getting poured on. Literally like as I'm about to sit down and go live here, Winnie starts crying. I'm like, "Shit, got to take her out." Um, so here we
1:00are. Out of breath, stadium pulse on from the five spot. Team signature move.
1:06Shout out to independent wrestler Richard Holiday. That's a deep cut.
1:11That's a deep cut for anybody out there who knows of Richard Holiday. Um, but all right, let's turn the AC up.
1:19Let's lock in. We go Puka at the 105. We finally get a draft pick that's not the 12. We're starting to get Look the You
1:28know, we're we're due. I I mean, here's the thing. I I would love to like celebrate this, but this is managed
1:34league number 17.
1:39And I am yet to get a Jir Gibbs or a Jamar Chase. No Jamar Chase. No Jir Gibbs through 17 manage league drafts.
1:49That's where we're at. But uh this is going to be RT Sports was going to be a very running back hungry room. Uh Chase
1:55and Chase and Puka are the only two wide receivers I' I'd be willing to take over Gibbs McAffrey Bjon and JT.
2:04I think James Cook versus JSN and Aman Rosane Brown is a really tough decision, but this is going to be a very running
2:10back hungry room. Uh Puka here might put us in a very precarious position like we've been the last two nights getting
2:16forced into zerorb builds. People saying another zero RB build. No.
2:22Hopefully not. Hopefully not. We'll see what comes back. We'll see what comes back. When did we draft? 208.
2:29Yeah, we might be another zero RB. We'll see. We'll see.
2:34Stormman jersey is moving fast. Yeah, I'm oil super chat. I appreciate that, man. But how how's everybody doing?
2:42Who's in here? Early start. Yeah, dude.
2:45I'll be honest. the uh home league draft, entertaining my boys at the apartment. They leave, then we get right into a draft at 10 p.m. Uh it took a lot
2:56out of me. So, we I decided to do this one a little bit earlier. We just got done doing five videos in a row. Uh like
3:03one video a day for five days in a row.
3:05So, I figured, you know what? No video today. Uh working on that'll be out tomorrow. Uh so, let's do a reasonably
3:14timed high stakes draft. I don't think you guys have kind of realized it, but I did say yesterday, okay, we're not going
3:20to do a high stakes draft tomorrow. We just do something normal.
3:24I guess my feeling is that if I don't post a video, I would rather do a high stakes draft than a baseball. Um, it
3:31just feels better.
3:33It just feels better. I don't know the uh the the symmetry there.
3:40And then tomorrow because we'll post a video. Uh we'll probably take a break from high stakes probably until the weekend, but we'll see. We'll see. I say
3:48only at 17 leagues so far. But you my max is 24. My max is 24. That is the absolute maximum. So we're we're we're
3:57pacing well. And this is a yet another please don't try this at home. Do not draft 20 plus teams. I'm lucky that managing
4:08those teams fits under my job description and I can make time to do so.
4:13Uh McAffrey goes, Puka goes, JSN's off the board, JT goes at the 106, then James Hook at the seven, then Chase
4:22Brown at the 108. I'm telling you guys, he's going to be a very running back hungry room. Uh Aman Ross St. Brown
4:26goes, then Amarian Hampton goes, and we shall see what comes back.
4:34finally drafting your home league. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.
4:41Me, too. I am also glad that we're in the front half of the board tonight.
4:48Maybe. Yeah, front half of the board for September could be the play. That could be the play. Your your profile picture
4:53kills me every time.
4:57Any trades happen in the home league yet? Yep. somebody fleece themselves because they decided that they'd rather draft next to me and not at a part in
5:04the draft where they could just get their guy AJ Brown on the turn. So, that's where we're at.
5:11Ron from the 11. No, it's not me.
5:14Uh, I drafted from the second overall spot in the home league.
5:23Why are you streaming after August, dude? the the play is always I always stream through week one kickoff. So, we're going to keep going.
5:39London and Higgins for Chase Brown.
5:43Depends on how deep the starting lineup is.
5:51What pick? Uh, we are the five spot.
5:59Why is this so running back hungry? It's just it's just what this um it's just what this site kind of breeds,
6:09I guess, is what I would say.
6:12I'm not quite sure why uh it's so running back hungry, but it's just it's just the people who play on the site.
6:21Kenneth Walker goes Marian Hampton.
6:25All right, we're in a precarious position here.
6:28We are up in one, two, three, four, five picks.
6:38And there's only five guys I want. If they all go, we're in a really tough spot. That's one of the five. So now
6:45we're down to one, two, three, four. Four guys I want.
6:53They all go will be in a tricky position.
7:01That's one of them down to three guys I want. If they all go, I'll be pissed.
7:10Hey, love to hear it. dominated my husband in our fantasy draft yesterday because of your rankings. Thank you, King. Of course.
7:27What time will start Sitch streams be?
7:28That's a good question. Probably like Probably like 11:00 a.m. Something around there. But it Yeah, probably around 11:00 a.m. Eastern.
7:41Three picks and there's only three guys I want.
7:51Another high stake zero RB team.
7:55That is one of the three. Now we're down to two guys I want. And if they both go, I will be pissed.
8:02Two guys I want. If they both go, I will be pissed.
8:11Just one time can I have a fun room, bro? One time can I have a fun room where a fun player makes it back, bro?
8:18One time.
8:22It's just crazy, bro. You see everybody else having fun. Everybody else gets to have fun.
8:48Yeah, I'm I'm good with Gent that. All right, so now I'm down to one guy I want, bro.
8:59Now I'm down to one guy I want. If he goes here, I'm gonna cry.
9:06Henry went, man. Everyone said, "Oh, yeah, Henry will get to you."
9:13He never does.
9:34What's it going to be, bud?
9:52AJ Brown. All right, we're going to take Brock Bowers, but it's we're staring down the barrel of another
10:00um another zero RB team. But yeah, we're going we're going Brock Bowers here.
10:12Yeah, I don't have enough Brock Bower, so let's take him.
10:25Surprised why people wanted AJ Brown. I mean, I had I was taking Bowowers over Brown.
10:35It's like, look, on one hand, I'm like, I'm always just going to take the best players and I'm going to adjust to the
10:42room, but I'm also tired of doing zero RB teams
10:53and seeing others get, dude, like I saw the ship chasing guys get a round three Derrick Henry in the FFPC. Like when can
10:58I get some fun some fun values like that?
11:03Even here, bro. Like Squan Saquon falls to the 204 in a RB hungry room. Like when do I get to catch the value?
11:16I say as I get Puka at the 105 and Nico Collins yesterday in the early third.
11:21But there goes Javvante. We like to see that.
11:29Go ahead and take a Chiron.
11:33Please take a Chiron.
11:45Good start. Thank you. We'll see what comes back.
11:48Yeah. No, I'm hyped. I just uh we're playing with fire. That's all.
11:54We have four picks until we're up.
12:01There's Pickkins. We got three picks until we're up.
12:28How is everybody doing though? How is everybody doing? I didn't even see that Olive went there.
12:36There goes McBride. Oh wow. All right.
12:38Yeah, we get to lock in one of Jeremiah lover or Bree Hall.
12:43Now we're having some fun. So Nico goes McBride goes, "I'm no longer upset. I'm no longer upset. We got to get one of
12:49those guys.
12:52And I honestly lean Bree just for the reasoning that I have a lot more Jeremiah Love than Bree at this point. And I have them
13:03backto back in the rankings.
13:05And I kind of want to not even spread out my bets, but just have two guys I really like through two rounds in DN. Whoever the
13:14says this team is is awful.
13:20Just Just when I thought we were having a good stream, bro. Just when I thought we were having a good stream.
13:27This guy's telling me my team's awful, bro. Pack it in.
13:37Wrap it up, man.
13:40It's over.
13:43and he takes third round to Judkins.
13:46Well, that's why we play the game, folks.
13:49That is why we play the game.
13:52Um, I'm going to take Bree here. I I do have Jeremiah Love ranked ahead, but uh I have them back to back in the rankings
13:59and just want to make sure that I'm I'm getting like equal exposure to both, which I I kind of hate talking about
14:05exposure with you guys, but we are uh in that part of the season where it's time to care about how I'm spreading out my
14:12bets. So, breeze hall.
14:26This is why we play, man.
14:29This is why we play the game.
14:32Find it hard to draft tight ender quarterback early. I agree. But when we're talking about 208 Brock Bowers, I I I'll just figure out the structure
14:42later.
14:47That's the worst pick of these streams.
14:50It's up there. It's up there.
14:55That's a good call. That might be it.
14:58Yeah. But now across across 17 teams, we have three Jeremiah Loves and three Bree Halls now.
15:07I'm just joking. He's not ruining the fun. It's just funny how people like come in here and start like swinging their dick around like
15:14they've already seen what happens in the 2026 season.
15:20Like I'm not Look at Look at this fellas. This is the This is the funniest flex ever. Like I'm not uh
15:29Show me this [ __ ] Where is it at?
15:33my teams. Everybody, hang on. Hang on.
15:36Oh, here we go. Bang. Look at I'm a power player. You see that? Power player.
15:44I earned that. All right.
15:48You want to look at my my credentials here? You want me to pull up my damn credentials? Hope that doesn't show
15:53anything crazy.
15:56Uh, look at that. Look at that. We played twotime winner. Two time. Come on now.
16:03Come on now. So yeah, when you when you when you hop in the chat and you talk know that you're talking to a
16:09two-time winner and a power player.
16:11That's me. All right.
16:16Just know that. I hope just so we're all just so we're all on the same page. And while I did all that, one pick goes by.
16:22That's that's the biggest hold up with this damn site, bro.
16:26The 90 second clock is a killer. Holy Power player, two-time winner, Ronald
16:37Stewart.
16:44How many people apply for the invitational leagues? I think last year it was over 200.
16:50I'd like to see Deanna a power player.
16:56What's that? Like what am I thinking of the two time?
17:02It's not a that's not a cur angle bit, but it's like something like that.
17:11Damn. Who is there a wrestler who's always like the two time? Am I an idiot?
17:23Oh my god, this guy. [laughter] Oh, run circles around you with fantasy facts. 25 years in 10k entry. Yeah.
17:32Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. God bless, man.
17:38Oh, it's not disrespect. All right. So, that I actually kind of hate. Yeah.
17:41Yeah. That's That's my bad for uh I thought maybe it was a Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
17:46I thought I thought maybe it was a wrestler. The fact that it's not a wrestler and it's [ __ ] um
17:53Dr. Disrespect, that's my bad.
17:56I thought it was going to be somebody cooler.
18:18Uh, honestly, I I am uh I am backing off neighbors. I am I I know it's like, okay, whatever. Like, did it really
18:26change much? Um, let's let's show off the draft guide. You got I love the draft guide. It is my pride and joy. Um,
18:33but here's the change log, of course, where every move I make, it gets showed up here. Uh, I moved him down four spots. Moved him
18:42from the wide receiver 10 to the wide receiver 12. From the two, what's the 23rd pick? Like the 211 to the early
18:49third. Nothing crazy. Just inching him down a little bit here. That's all. Of course, if you have a draft coming up,
18:57make sure you check out the basement draft guide. It is my baby at this point. It is what I use in all of my own
19:04drafts. I will say Coulson Lovelin going there is a massive W because if Coulson Lovelin came back to the late four, um I
19:12was going to be pissed. Uh also seeing all these running backs go is also awesome for us.
19:20But make sure you check it out. The basementdraftguide.com you get my top 200 full PPR rankings, half PPR, superflex, tiers, targets, fades,
19:29sleeper, league sync, so that it crosses all players as you go. All of that good stuff and more. I have links to that in
19:36the description, live chat, and the comment section below.
19:41We got Jack Settlement in here. What's going on?
19:46I saw um where's my where's my dog Mel G.
19:52Is he not going to the LSU Clemson game?
19:55Melvin Gordon.
19:59I'm prepared to be the biggest Melvin Gordon fan of all time.
20:06This is We're actually talking about Melvin or not Melvin Gordon. We're actually talking about Malik Neighbors.
20:10Jack Settleman took Malik Neighbors I believe over AJ Brown.
20:16I believe over Nico Collins, but I only moved him down like four spots. So, I wouldn't I I I wouldn't say
20:26the sky is falling, but Oh, what what's the story? I I saw you said that you guys are going on Saturday
20:34to Lambo to see Wisconsin.
20:39Who are they playing? Notre Dame.
20:42Uh what's the story on like is that's not something they've always done this uh Wisconsin Notre Dame game, right?
20:52Or am I am I an idiot in like Wisconsin always was a Lambo game before week one NFL kickoff?
21:03Wow, fellas. The amount the amount of um running backs going here is crazy.
21:12That's a what? 402 Bucky 310 DeAndre Swift 306 Travis ETN. This is why we play the game, fellas.
21:23This is why we play the game.
21:29That's an amazing Devonte Smith pick.
21:43All right. So, Devonte Smith go. Rashi Rice goes Burden.
21:50DJ Moore.
21:52Why did Rashi Rice fall? Uh, honestly, it's just a really running back hungry room, I would say.
21:58There goes Flowers.
22:03Bies off the board.
22:06Lovelin went trying to make sure I didn't miss anybody here.
22:14I don't think I have missed anybody.
22:17Kirn Allen ETN Miss Swift. Jeez, that's an early Swift.
22:31We are up in two. We're up in two.
22:34We're up into There's really only like one guy I want here. I'll be honest.
22:48Uh there's like h there's like three guys I want. I'm not super picky.
22:54A little bit picky, but not super picky.
23:03Oh yeah. running backs dried right up.
23:07People always ask us, why such a running back hungry room? It's just kind of the nature of RT Sports. Like, it's just um
23:12it's this it's just the crowd that this site brings. I I I mean, it's two wide receiver, two flex, but like so is the
23:18FFPC, you know?
23:22It's why it's why I'm trying to get a lot of uh a lot of these like any of these like $300 uh All right, we're
23:29going to sprint to take Jaylen Wadd here, fellas.
23:32I've been wanting to get more and more Jaylen Waddle. We talked with uh Harmon about Waddle yesterday. I moved him right up my rankings after talking with
23:39him and then also kind of glancing at the projections again. Waddle projects really well. Uh I I want to make sure
23:46we're getting it in good here down the stretch on Wadd. So that's now I think two of our last three or four teams
23:52we've drafted. We've gotten Jaylen Wadd.
23:57And we'll see what comes back.
24:00We'll see what comes back.
24:15I think I have Waddle as like my 30 like a 309 or something. So, getting him
24:22there feels great. There goes Scat.
24:34Yeah, I got waddle over lad, but I think it's close.
24:40How many hours per week do you spend on waiverss in season?
24:46That's that's a hippo violation, brother. That is a hippo violation. But let's think.
24:56I would say in the range of three or so hours. It's It's not as terrible as you would think. I essentially sit down like
25:03Wednesday evening I do waiverss and it probably takes me somewhere between like three to four hours.
25:12It's not fun. Don't get me wrong. It's not fun at all. But I mean it pays off.
25:17Like we we do these of course everyone like we get more people in the chat when we do these. Um it's what I would do.
25:23Like you can go back on my channel to like 2022 and no one was watching these.
25:26I I I do it's like a labor of love. Like I I don't The waiverss is my least favorite part of it, but
25:34these high stakes rooms with like tons of money up top and kind of like the poker tournament aspect of it I really
25:40do like. Um it just can be taxing is what I would say. So there goes Lad and I two really good
25:49picks at the late four. Would love to see Tyler Warren go at this turn.
26:12Yeah, we would love to see Tyler Warren go here and then we'll be back up here at what, like late X.
26:42Interesting.
26:50Uh, if I was only to do one high stakes draft in the $300 range, which site would you do it on? Uh, RT Sports. I
26:56would. And I I don't have any promo with any of these guys, so I kind of hate that you just made me promo them like
27:00that um on the free ski, but yeah, it would be it'd be this site.
27:07It would the the draft rooms are just super uh super soft.
27:14Uh, I manage my my max just from like doing this for a while. My personal max is 24. That's it. 24, but 24 includes
27:22like your idiot league mates, my home league, the basement invitational. So that's three like homestyle leagues. So about 21 high stakes like these sort of
27:32leagues where there's no trading um in that portfolio is what I would say.
27:50Goes Odun.
28:23There's one guy I'd really like.
28:27I don't want to get my hopes up, though.
28:36Damn it. That's who I wanted.
28:42Damn it. in this room. This has to be Jarian Price. It has to be.
28:49Yeah, it has to be Jarian Price here.
29:00There's these these three receivers got me thinking long and hard about it, but I can't. It's got to be Jarian Price.
29:08There's now backto-back days we've taken Jarian Price in round five. We're going to have a lot of price, man.
29:15Yeah, I wanted two. I haven't I haven't been able to get two in yet, man. I don't have a single share of two in
29:20these manage leagues. Right there, I would have taken him, but is what it is.
29:27Oh, yeah. I got Waddle. I I I moved up Waddle high today, man. Um I moved him up high.
29:40does become best baseball during the playoffs now.
29:44Um I I moved up EMTT Johnson. Not because it's not a Kenneth Walker uh like move up. It is because um
29:54essentially what happened was they cut Amari De Marcado, which means the only running backs behind Kenneth Walker are EMTT Johnson and Bashard Smith. Bashard
30:06Smith we liked last year, but he kind of revealed himself as like a true like he's more I wouldn't call him the Quint
30:11Allen because he can he can get targets, but like I don't know, he's somewhere he's somewhere in the like Jal McLaclin like
30:20um fun passcatching back that like he's not a handcuff is what I'm saying, right?
30:27Like he he's Justice Hill. He's just at like Bashard Smith is Justice Hill. The real three down uh backup handcuff to
30:34Kenneth Walker is now fully Emtt Johnson, which means like I'm moving Emtt Johnson all the way up to uh like Jonah Coleman, Mike Washington
30:43range as like rookies that are pretty clearly the handcuff um if the starter goes down. So that's why I moved him up
30:49so much. I had nothing to do with Kenneth Walker. I still love Walker.
30:52Walker is like my 13th ranked player.
30:55Um, so yeah, I I I wouldn't it's nothing about Walker and it's it's just more uh the Demarcado not making the 53man roster is really
31:06telling about how they feel about Emma Johnson.
31:15Team of the three spot is having a great start outside of London and Bejian I don't like together.
31:22Yep. Javvante 211. That's how you play the game, my brother. I moved up Waddle, I think, to 33rd overall. Somewhere around there.
31:31This is a crazy comment, but we'll take it. You have the best voice in fantasy football. So manly and smooth.
31:39So manly and smooth. That's kind of crazy, but I'll take it.
31:46All right, so McLaren Pwash. We hate to see these wide receivers get ripped off the board like this.
31:56I think that was the right play Bree and Price there. But I am having some thoughts of maybe maybe the the monster
32:03inside of me should have gone J Moccllorin or Pwash. But it's all right.
32:14I'm Jonah Coleman over Kaylin Black. I I don't think it's as um as locked in for Kayn Black. Emit Johnson over Kaylin
32:21Black by a lot.
32:25Super chat from a 784, but I'm not sure what you're asking.
32:31Oh, five spot this time.
32:45Any case for Marian Hampton over Kenneth Walker? Honestly, yeah. I mean, I have them all in the same tier. You you you
32:49can honestly rank at this point in the summer. Like I'll be real with you guys.
32:54You can rank uh Saquon Walker, Chase Brown, Hampton, Achan, Derek Henry,
33:05Genty, whoever you want.
33:16We like that. We like to see Tyler Warren go and Harold Fannon go. We like to see that as well.
33:23Warren Fannon Wandell 601 Wandell.
33:30Allighty.
33:34This is why we play the game.
33:39Great. And we have we have the guy who not only drafted the best team but then fleeced a leaguemate coming in here
33:46asking for a pat on the back.
33:49He wants a pat on the back. He wants he wants Big Ron to tell him that his team is nice and give him a little pat on the
33:55head.
34:02This is why we play the game. I don't know what the lightning bolts mean.
34:06Maybe it just means like they picked it quick. I don't know.
34:29I don't know what 12 is cooking, but I I love it.
34:37All right, there goes Chris Godwin.
34:43If you're in front of drafts, what RB's would you target being it's so little come second and third?
34:50Um, yeah, that guy's first that guy's first wide receiver is Chris Godwin. He took Leland and more. This is why we
34:56play the game, fellas. My god, why can't why can't my home league draft look like this, bro?
35:13Lightning is auto pick. Interesting. All right. So, there goes Warren Godwin.
35:35All right. Interesting.
35:38Interesting.
35:42No, we're not taking Lamar.
35:50Yeah, I don't I don't mind Chris Godwin, but I I'm not as high as others on Godwin.
35:56Goes Evans. Good pick. We are up in three. We're up in three. And I have one guy I really want.
36:12D goes.
36:14I was actually before I hopped on here, I was actually writing up Rico Dao for tomorrow's video because I continued I
36:20keep taking him. I keep taking him, but I haven't like really talked about him much. Uh people don't realize that I think, let me know if I'm wrong,
36:30fellas, but I think the Steelers had the only or no, it was probably the Patriots, too, with Henderson and Raandre.
36:37But I think the Steelers was like the only team to have like two running backs inside the top 20 in points per game.
36:43Like both Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren were like the RB 17 and RB18.
36:47They trade away Caleb Johnson. It's strictly a two-man backfield. Aaron Rogers is going to target the hell out of the running back. And then on top of
36:54that, uh McCarthy is going to make it so it's not the Arthur Smith like slowpaced uh runheavy offense. It's going to like
37:01be more modern, a little bit more like it's not going to be fully uptempo, but it's going to be a little bit more of a
37:06giddy up. And to me, that's really fun.
37:09Uh, we're going to take Marvin Harrison Jr. here. I don't know how you guys like that pick, but he is my highest ranked
37:15player here.
37:20Let's do it. Even though some of the running backs are certainly enticing here.
37:27They're certainly enticing, but we took Bree, we took Price. I think now we just fill our flex with some studs. Or maybe
37:32not. Like Marv's not quite a stud, but I do like Marv.
37:50Like you could have talked me into Brooks or Lloyd there, but I just feel like when we take Price, we take Bree
37:55like I'm almost going to treat it in my head like it's a modified double hero RB. Like now I kind of want to load up
38:01on receivers and then we'll throw some some quantity at running backs in a little bit.
38:07Goes Harvey and Brooks.
38:26Pitman's free because it's like what's truly the upside? But you make a good point. Like I Pitman, he's he's like sort of similar to Wandale and like I
38:34think he's going to rack up a lot of PPR, but Oh, I love J Mo. Uh on the players I'm betting everything on this year or like
38:44betting my fantasy season on. I talked about him there. Uh I'm all over JO.
38:48People People get so caught up People get so caught up uh in the boom bus stuff and they kind of fail to to
38:56look at like what really matters is my take on him.
39:04It's like in my head points per game is all that matters. Um, if you're playing in a competitive league, you're playing two wide receiver, one
39:12flex, and it's like, okay, sure. You're you're just like putting studs in your flex, but I'm not sure like I saw this question
39:24earlier, but I'm not sure what you're asking here.
39:27If you're in the front of drafts, what running backs? Like, what do you mean by that? We're all gone and come late.
39:32Like, for me, it's the running backs through Derk Henry. If none fall back to you, you do what I did. You take best
39:38player available. You come back around and you take Bree or Jeremiah Love. Like that's my um that is my uh sort of plan I guess is
39:49the top 12 running backs like through Derk Henry. If like it happened here where they all get taken, bang, you just pray that Bree or or Jeremiah
39:58Love come back. Or if you're in a really running back hungry league, you can do your Bree or Jeremiah Love here. uh
40:04which is what I did in my homely yesterday at the 211.
40:08Like you could have done this. There were some teams that got locked out of running back. Uh you can take Glover or
40:12Breeze here and then see what comes back, but uh you could also sort of risk it.
40:20Tate, good pick.
40:23Tate goes, Marshon Lloyd goes.
40:27We would love to see a Kyle Pitts.
40:30We'd love to see a Kyle Pitts. We'd love to see a Lamar Jackson.
40:39There goes Courtland Sutton Pard.
40:51So we are up here in round seven.
40:58There goes Lamar.
41:21We're going to take another receiver.
41:23We're going to take Brian Thomas.
41:28I'm starting to draft. I I look I I love um I love Parker Washington, but I also think Brian Thomas is a good little
41:38value here in the seventh.
41:47Yeah, I agree. I agree. I I did I think that this was the a tough decision point.
41:55Could have been Brooks and JO, but fine. Fine. Paying up for the running back.
42:07Yeah, you you'll find that's usually how my teams look [laughter] is you like the wide receiver core. Well, a little bit
42:12light at the running back.
42:21Who's winning your leaguemates? It's tough to say. Um, who has the strongest team today, September 1st, would be Nick or Kano, but you just never know how
42:30things shake out.
42:39Is Lloyd a sell high?
42:42Depends how your team is constructed.
42:45It depends how your team is constructed.
42:47If it's a hero RB team where you like maybe threw like Marshon Lloyd, Jonathan Brooks, and like Bill Crosky Merritt at your RB2 spot, I think you
42:57just let it ride. Um, but if you did like a double hero up top and Marshon Lloyd was like a 12th round pick for you
43:04at the day of your draft, you you send down Marshon Lloyd and you you upgrade your flex.
43:25Yeah, Drake M. AJ Brown is is a good stack from that guy.
43:29You got Brian Thomas. That's got to be a keeper in round 14, bro. That's got to be a keeper.
43:34Ain't no way.
43:47Uh if you're in a running back hungry league, it's not that crazy to uh reach for Jeremiah Bree in round two. I I just
43:53would prefer not to. But if you are in like a two- wide receiver one flex or a half PPR league and you truly can't
44:00stomach I I guess it comes down to it like if you're comfortable with Javvante or Kairen in round three then you don't
44:06have to. But for me like it's Jeremiah Love, it's Bree Hall in round three or it's nobody. That's that's been my um
44:17that's my style of playing. But I know there's plenty out there that think Javvante or Kairen are fine third round picks. And
44:27if that's you, you could just say, you know, I'll go best player available through two and then take Javvante or Kirn in round three,
44:46man. And in a single flex, I would push up Bowers.
44:52I'd push up Bowers.
44:54Uh, essentially, I think I would go Lam Jefferson, Squan, Kenneth Walker,
45:07Chase Brown, and then Bowers ahead of like Hampton, Dererick Henry, Achan, whoever.
45:16mean Mike Wilson and Parker Washington?
45:17Well, Parker Washington wasn't available, brother. Parker Washington wasn't available.
45:27But I'll take Marvel or Michael Wilson all day, man.
45:31Going to make it to the championship in Y. We'll see. We'll see.
45:38Like, I get that Brian Thomas was a big disappointment last year, but I just drafted him in the seventh round, man.
45:42like seven seventh round is is pretty reasonable.
45:48Metaf goes, dribbling goes.
45:56We talked about it earlier, but yeah, a little a little bit worried. I moved down neighbors like four spots. Four spots. Nothing crazy. It's not time to
46:05I I I wouldn't start truly truly panicking yet, but it's it's we're getting close, no doubt.
46:20So there goes Cororum Stribbling, Corm Stribbling, Dobbins,
46:29Mason Hubard.
46:39Who's like the best available by ADP?
46:56That's an awesome pits uh pits value.
47:10We're up in two.
47:19We're up in two.
47:23And I once again have some ideas.
47:30Am I fully up to date? There goes Addison.
47:36I'll get to that super chat in a second, by the way. I do see it.
47:53So, there goes Jaden Reed.
47:56We're going to take our guy.
48:01Uh, we're going to take our guy.
48:07Yeah, this is Bill Crosky merit time.
48:12Give me some more Bill.
48:14Give me some more Bill.
48:17I'm kind of stoked on Bill Crosky Merritt this year.
48:21We talked about him in the breakout running back video, but I love Bill.
48:27Someone get give me a damn Bill in the chat, bro. Give me a Bill Nye the Science Guy in the chat. That's exactly
48:32what I'm looking for.
48:35Bill. Bill.
48:37I need that.
48:43Now we hold our breath because there's one guy in particular I'd really like to come back. Um, wow. There goes Down's. Good pick.
49:16I wonder if T. Higgins owner here takes Joe Burrow. QJ.
49:23We'd really like to see Yes. Science rules.
49:30We would really like to see uh Leaporta.
49:35We would like to see Laaporta go. We would like to see Actually, I'm not too stressed right now. I'm a little
49:41stressed. We're up in one, two, three.
49:43We're up in five. We're up in five. And I have one, two.
49:51I don't know. I I have some guys I'd begrudgingly take.
49:56We'd love to see Burrow here.
49:59Show me Burrow 101. Burrow would be a good pick for this guy.
50:04Maybe Burl Leaporta. That'd be kind of awesome.
50:14Here's top of the queue for anybody curious.
50:27Told y'all he was going burrow.
50:45Mike Washington. Interesting pick.
51:01TLA. God damn. I was hoping to set up Brian Thomas all the way on the way back. To be real with you guys.
51:10Oh, this could be bad.
51:16This would crush me, guys.
51:22sprint after we whiffed on him yesterday. Fellas, give me KC.
51:28I love our start through nine. Holy hell, do I love this start. This is one of my favorite teams we've drafted so
51:36far.
51:41I really thought we could get Lawrence to come back to us, though. Lawrence would have been the cherry on top to
51:45Brian Thomas here, but we still got outs to like late Bo or late Stafford here.
51:53Oh yeah, you were on it. That that was the same choice we had yesterday, but it was a little bit different because I do
51:58have Bill actually. I'm not sure if I have Do I have Bill ahead of uh I think I do have Bill ahead of
52:06I do have Bill ahead of Jordan Mason, but they're in the same tier. But we we did it again in a zero RB build. We took
52:11the running back hoping KC could come back and it happened this time. So, I'm stoked about that.
52:19Gainwell goes, I of course take Conpsion likely off the board.
52:38Pitman's actually an awesome pick right there.
53:03Oh, we're in clear skies.
53:05We are in clear skies. Do you think it's crazy dribbling is going this high?
53:12Um I think he's fine anywhere in round eight like he went in this draft, but
53:22I'm not I'm not taking him there. I I know um my good buddy Josh Norris is all over dribbling. I like dribbling, but
53:31especially in these high stakes drafts.
53:35It just seems like everyone likes him more than I do.
53:40Like I'm still he goes here. I'm still uh Jaden Reed, Josh Downs, and Casey Conpsion over dribbling. So I just like
53:47almost never end up with him.
53:57Uh why did Rashi go so late? It's just a really um It's just a really running back hungry room.
54:18I mean, once upon a time, once upon a time, uh Puka Nakua was the Twitter hype beast pick, you know.
54:27Oh my god. Here we go with these guys.
54:32It's also fantasy football, bro.
54:37Anything over $300 to me is high stakes.
54:41But also, you can tune in to the 1,600 or actually, no, no, the $2,000 teams we drafted last night and the night before
54:47that. And I welcome you to get in one of those with me if you are such a high roller.
54:57I do love people pull up in here and start like swinging their dick around.
55:01Oh, $300, bro.
55:05Dude, it's rough out here, bro.
55:23Like I'm fully aware that I'm like fantasy football is it's fantasy. It's fantasy football. Uh people got groceries and bills to pay, man.
55:37All right, so Rashad White went, Josh Jacobs went. Let's I need to really catch up here. We're up in two and I've
55:45been bullshitting in the chat.
55:50Yeah, but you don't get to like you don't get to say, "Oh, dude, $300 isn't high stakes, bro." Like, it is to my
55:57audience. Like, unless you really do this [ __ ] Um, all right. All right. So, Pitman goes, Jacobe goes, Jacobe goes, Herbert goes.
56:13Spears and Marks off the board. I'm I'm really far behind right now. Spears, Mark, Jacobe.
56:21KD's gone.
56:25Concaid still hanging out there.
56:41Jac Kobe Dobs, Matthew Golden.
56:46Okay, fine. You're not as big of a as I thought maybe you were coming off as. But what I'll say is high
56:52stakes is more the category than like a uh this is an uncomfortable amount of money, if that makes sense. It's more
56:59like this is the the genre of draft as I would call high stakes on RT Sports.
57:07Um I don't know what I want to take here.
57:17Cancade goes Man,
57:33no. I would say $350 and above on FFPC.
57:36Like $300 and above is the high stakes in my eyes.
57:41Uh I think we're going to take Jonah Coleman.
57:45Is it round 10?
57:48We have receiver through the flex plus one.
57:53Yeah, we'll take Jonah Coleman.
58:13Here's the best player by ADP right now, fellas.
58:23You could talk me into an unstacked attack, but I don't really want to.
58:28I don't really want to Let's think.
58:55So, there goes Rodriguez.
58:57Concaid's gone. Shahed. Dak.
59:06Dak. Shahed. Chris Rodriguez.
59:09Mai go here. Stung. We would have loved Mai on this team.
59:25actually got an idea. I got an idea.
59:30I don't know if he comes back, but I got an idea.
59:38If not, we just take another running back. At the end of the day, it is like we like Bree Price, Bill, but it is a
59:42zero RB team. Like we do want to throw running backs at this thing.
60:03All right, there goes God.
60:08I have one guy I'd really like, but if he doesn't get here, then it's not a big deal, but I would like him to get here. Would
60:15you ever take chase over Bjan in a three wide receiver, one flex? I would debate it, but even still, probably not. Like
60:22three wide receiver, one flex, full PPR.
60:26God damn it, JM. What What numbers did you just run here? The chance I don't have a single Gibbs in manage is
60:33slightly higher than 22%.
60:35What's that? I've done I've done this is my 17th draft
60:45meaning I have like seven more. So I suppose you did like the factorial of like 1 / 12* 7
60:54something like that. I don't know.
60:59Brandon Aubrey. All right.
61:09So, Air Aubrey, we're up in two.
61:27Charb goes, "I inspired you to get a dog." What the hell? What the hell? All right, we're
61:38going to do uh I don't know how you guys are going to like this, but we're going to take uh Xavier Worthy.
61:52Dogs are no joke, man. I'll tell you guys that.
61:55Dogs are no joke. At least I was gonna say like unless you know what's like interesting. I forgot where I read this,
62:07but apparently like a decent option for dogs if you don't want to like training a puppy sucks. Um, but I'm sure people are better at it
62:15than me is what I'll say. But when I was doing it with Winnie, it sucked.
62:20Um, what am I trying to say? Oh, I I heard you can get like retired like I guess
62:30like retired I I've heard you can get like retired greyhounds like greyhounds that like race and [ __ ] You can get
62:36like retired uh greyhounds that apparently are like fully trained and everything and it's awesome.
62:45Well, that's a decent that's an interesting way to buy a dog is like a retired dog.
62:55One year's not too bad.
63:04Sleeper of the year in round eight or later.
63:14Trying to think of who I wrote down for tomorrow's video is like my my guys plans.
63:20I can give you who I wrote down for round eight.
63:28Or honestly, honestly, give me Casey Conpsion. We took him in this draft. Casey Conpsion, I think, is a a great pick for that.
63:50All right. So, we take worthy.
63:52Coker goes. Jordan Tyson goes.
64:00Mark Andrews off the board. We already did that.
64:07Air Sharp. All right. I think I'm caught up.
64:13Something happened with Jon round 10. I don't know.
64:23Inspiring the birth of a child.
64:31I'm not a fan of Corland Sun at all, man.
64:34Yeah, I take a lot of Denzel Boston.
64:38I do. I'm trying to ease off though.
64:39Damn, there goes Bon Knicks. We would have liked Bon Knicks on this team, but we have a couple of other stacking outs.
64:58What's the Q look like in terms of sorting by ADP?
65:19Let me check.
65:22Kind of exposing myself for not 100% knowing the scoring settings.
65:5905 points per passing yard is standard, right?
66:04I believe it is.
66:08Uh I have Z Flowers over Garrett Wilson.
66:12I have a [ __ ] ton of Z Flowers, bro.
66:16Cross. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.
66:27This is 17. Across 17 teams, I have flowers on five, which is a [ __ ] ton.
66:3604 per passing is standard.
66:39I think you're right.
66:41And if that's the case, I think that this gives a slight advantage to pocket passers.
66:48I think stacking is pretty important, but in a normal home league, it's not the most important thing, but I it's still something I go for. Ripping the
66:56Chad Pennington is crazy.
67:02Chad Pennington is the only good quarterback on the Jets I've ever seen.
67:14And I suppose uh Ryan Fitzpatrick that one year Tyrone Tracy goes a lot earlier than I
67:28would take him. There goes Tank.
67:32Kalin Black went So, Kayn Black goes, Jawan goes.
68:13Nigel saying you know what to do. I I I think I'm going to take I might take Katon Mitchell. Bro, I don't know if that's what you were
68:25were hinting at, but that's where my head goes.
68:34I think you might be talking about Dylan Samson though.
68:50They go Shakir.
68:55So Shakir tank dart.
69:08No, I wouldn't go Mendoza.
69:13The last like the last like two quarterbacks I I would consider rostering in a league like this is like Malik Willis. Oh my god, he takes Kian
69:21Mitchell. He's got to be watching the stream.
69:35We're going to go Emtt Johnson before a running back gets fully wiped here.
69:40Am I an idiot?
69:43Did Emtt Johnson go?
69:48No, I just can't find him.
69:57Oh, Kian going there sucks.
70:08That's our team so far through 12. Puka, Bowers, Bree, Wadd, Price, Marv, Brian, Thomas, Bill, Conpsion, Coleman, Worthy, Emma Johnson. We had one, two, three,
70:19four receivers with the flex plus one.
70:21Worth these like probably after the cliff but right at the cliff. Bree price up top, but then Bill Coleman, Emma Johnson are some fun speculative plays.
70:31I like this. I like this.
70:35Jacobe Gun.
70:40I have too much Denzel Boston to really seriously consider him here.
71:16Let's see what comes back.
71:53Man, I I may do I may do enough. Um I I I may I don't know. We'll see how much volume that ends up. Oh my god. I
72:02wanted Terren Ferguson. I didn't think I'd have to take him here, though. I know he had Bowers, but a late Terren
72:09Ferguson would have been fun.
72:17You told me to Denzel Boston, but I can't do it. I got too much Denzel Boston.
72:24Somebody take Shahed.
72:26Oh my god. Stafford there really sucks.
72:29Someone did take Shahed.
72:32There goes Pertie. We're going to stop around and take Momes.
72:38That was almost crazy.
72:43Stafford going there is not fun though.
72:51Oh, that's a good that's a good point.
72:58We do have Conpsion. First year on Patreon. How far down do the weekly rankings positions usually go? I usually rank 50 running backs and 60 wide
73:06receivers every week and then like the top 20 or so tight ends and quarterbacks.
73:13Yeah, we just we just took Mahomes.
73:17That's what I was kind of setting up with the worthy and Emma Johnson picks.
73:23And then we're out of like stacking options with Puka gone or not. It's like Stafford gone.
73:30Yeah, we're out of stacking options, but that's fine. We'll just take a second quarterback we'd like later.
73:41Keenan Allen goes, there goes Goff. QB starting to fly.
73:55B-ro goes. Brilland Allen goes. Just catching up here.
73:59tank goes.
74:03Yes, sir. This is uh the fantasy championship, which I suppose I should show the um I guess like the rules for this thing.
74:14What's the take a look?
74:24Yeah, here's the overall payout. you get 500k to first. I mean, it makes it super topheavy, but you know, this is what
74:31this is what we're gunning for, man. One of these years, honestly, any of these three would be awesome.
74:38But that's what we're hoping for on a $300 entry. This is why we play the game right here.
74:58That's a awesome Jake Ferguson value.
75:02Jake Ferguson. Someone took Malik Washington.
75:06I don't know if I have Malik Washington in the rankings.
75:16You would have considered Lane in the 12th.
75:19Yeah, that's fair.
75:21I just feel really good about our wide receivers at this point.
75:30It's just a really running back hungry room, man. That's really all it is.
75:34Congrats on not getting 11 or 12. Thank you, man. Uh it's four-point passing touchdowns. Yeah. Why did I move Pertie down? I just moved him down a tier is
75:42what I would say. I I had him uh in like the Trevor Lawrence uh Justin Herbert tier. I just moved him down to kind of
75:48the tier he goes in drafts, but still has like a target at the top of his tier.
76:05Wix love Vidal.
76:18We're up in two. We're up in three.
76:20There's one guy I'd really like who's at the top of the ADP queue.
76:36Oh boy, this could get dicey.
76:42This could get dicey.
76:57Rookie draft tomorrow is crazy. What what would you feel comfy adding to the 105 to get love?
77:05Um, man, I'll be straight up with you. I'm so far out of the loop on Dynasty this
77:15time of year.
77:17I kind of don't I kind of got nothing for you.
77:23Let me think.
77:34I think Judkins and Sutton on top of the 105 for love is probably fine.
77:40I don't know about the 102 to price thing though. I'm not sure what you mean by that.
77:54I ever do drafts without streaming. Uh here and there. Here and there.
78:03Not like these I try and only do on stream. If I don't do them on stream, it's the ones that happen after the
78:08Monday or the uh Wednesday and Thursday games, if you get what I'm saying. Like these high stakes sites, they do the the
78:16uh crazy uh we're going to just sort of sprint to take Kyler here, assuming he doesn't have the same buy as Mahomes in
78:22week five.
78:24She doesn't. Thank you.
78:28We take Kyler and we see what comes back. There's one guy I really want to come back, but I couldn't risk missing out on Murray
78:37there. He was by far the last quarterback in a tier for me.
78:44And unstacked Kyler is fine by me.
78:57Bob Fagalo gassing me up. I appreciate it, brother. Appreciate it.
79:03Have you done uh your draft yet?
79:06The uh Titan Premium one with some of the uh buddies because I like to see that draft board when you do.
79:14Of course, shameless plug. If people are going to gas up the basement draft guide, make sure you check it out.
79:19basementdraftguide.com. If you have a draft coming up, uh the exact thing that I'm crossing off over here as I do these drafts is available to
79:29you. I eat at my own kitchen. Um it's all there. Player notes, half PPR, full PPR, superflex, tiers, targets, avoids, everything you could possibly want. The
79:39basementdraftguide.com in the description and the comment section and the live chat as we speak.
79:47That's this Sunday. So, I assume the FFPC stuff is probably pretty good for you. Uh, to kind of catch up on the
79:53tight end premium stuff, we took Coulson level yesterday at the 209, I believe.
80:15I like that call.
80:24to just sit on top claim Saturday and Monday. Yeah, let me know.
80:30Let me know uh what's going on with you guys in terms of drafts and stuff.
80:34People still looking forward to drafts, which is which is nice. It feels like there's still one more final wave of drafts because I'm sitting I'm sitting
80:42here, it's like it's September. Usually this is when we do the, you know, like week one rankings videos and stuff. Um,
80:53but like it's not week one yet, so it just feels a little bit weird.
80:59Feels a little bit weird. I just hope essentially I'm going to do a final like my guys and flag plants tomorrow,
81:05Wednesday, Thursday, final running back rankings. Friday, final wide receiver rankings. And that's it. That's essentially like in pen, pencils down,
81:16my final answers to the test, flag plants, top 60 or so running backs and receivers. Uh, and then starting this weekend, we start looking forward to
81:25week one.
81:31We had a lot of drafts Sunday, one and only draft on Saturday.
81:35Did two, got one more tomorrow.
81:48These questions are always funny. What's your win rate? I I don't know, man. Like I I I don't keep um a care like there's my career stats
81:56aren't anywhere. What I can tell you, as everyone else in the chat can say, I am a power player two-time winner. I'm a
82:03power player. Oh, Cyrus Allen. That's why I wanted to come back. God damn it.
82:09Oh, that's a really good pick.
82:12I thought maybe I could go Kyler here and then sneak a Cyrus Allen on the way back. All right, so now now I'm
82:16scrambling and got to lock in for a second, fellas. Hold on.
82:20Now we got to lock in for a quick second here.
82:25Naylor goes Vidal, Ray Davis, Naji, two-time winner on RTS. But here's the
82:38thing, I get I get like you probably click on a YouTube video like this guy even win anything, but it's like there's
82:44no way to quantify it. There's no way to be like here's my historical win rate or whatever.
82:50I finished top 20 in the biggest fantasy football tournament there is. I finished top five in a similarly sized one.
83:03I've won my own home league. I have It's like I don't know. I don't think there's enough accolades out there to for anybody to really puff their
83:12chest outside of the uh the few guys who have won millions doing this, which I aspire to be. That's the goal. I'll be
83:19real with you guys. I don't have a single player in my head right now.
83:23Um Dylan Samson won. I take it. Oh, he won a while ago.
83:30Malik Davis go.
83:34Let's take Malik Davis. Screw it.
83:38Yeah, I stepped up to the podium there without a single idea in my head.
83:43Holy [ __ ] Um, I mean, you can I I mean, I I
83:57document most years on the channel.
83:59There's no stats to like compare to. I I I think it's kind of a dumb endeavor.
84:07Um, like if I hopped on here and boasted like a 30% win rate, like it's like, "All right, where are you playing? Who
84:14are you playing against?
84:21No, literally was Cyrus Allener bust there. Full team review. Uh, we went from the five spot. We go Puka, Brock Bowers,
84:30Puka, Brock Bowers, Bree Hall, uh, Jaylen Wadd, Jadarian Price, Marvin Harrison, Brian Thomas, Bill Crosky, Merritt, Conpsion, Jonah Coleman, Xavier Worthy, Emma Johnson, Patrick Mahomes,
84:40Kyler Murray, and Malik Davis.
84:44fun little like modified Zer RB style team. I feel pretty good about it.
85:01Yeah, exactly. At this point, it's like, look, I've I've I've won plenty. Take it or leave it, man. That's that's where
85:07I'm at with it.
85:12I mean, it's a very small sample size, but I I would say I would say there's nobody aged 25 and younger more accomplished than my resume
85:23in high stakes fantasy football. But people my age aren't playing high stakes fantasy football. So again, take it or leave it. You know what I mean? Like
85:32that's what I would say.
85:38Yes. That's why we have enough money to do like these. We just did like two nights of $1600 drafts in a row. Um, we
85:46did really well last year. We did really well to the point where um we we did so well last year that I'm not
85:54going to use all the money we made towards teams. Like I'm going to use a lot of it towards teams, but I don't
85:59need to do all of it towards teams is what I would say.
86:05This is probably one of my favorite drafts of the summer as well.
86:32Yeah, the goal is to win one of these big ones, man. I just want to win one of these big ones bad.
86:38like one of these days like let me win like let me if I could win you know I've done like a quick like 10k
86:48and I know I say this number out loud and it sounds crazy but you got to remember you know we we we buy in for
86:53probably like 10 or so in a given year uh give or take if I if I could if I could hit a 25k or better that would be
87:01awesome.
87:09Can you recap the team? Uh, I just did, but I'll do it one more time. We went Puka, Brock Bowers, Bree, Jaylen Wadd,
87:16Jaren Price, Marv, Brian Thomas. It's two wide receiver for two flex. So, it's Puka, Wadd, Marv, Brian Thomas through the flex, Bree and Price at running
87:24back, Bowers in the tight end spot. Uh, off the bench, we have Bill for some running back depth. We have Conpsion for
87:30some wide receiver depth. Running back flyer and Coleman. Worthy flyer. Emma Johnson. Mahomes to Emma Johnson and Worthy. Kyler unstacked, but that's fine
87:40by me. And then a nice little handcuff off the bench. Um I think if you don't take a running back through two rounds,
87:45this is probably as good as it gets if I'm being real with you guys. I think this as good as it gets if you don't
87:50take a running back round one or two.
88:01Best flying planet fantasy since you started making content.
88:10I would say Harold Fannon made me a lot of money last year, man.
88:15Harold Fannon, especially because of the tight end premium on FFPC. We drafted so
88:22much damn Harold Fannon. Um, yeah, I'd probably say Harold Fannon.
88:34I'd say rookie year. A lot of the times it's rookies that pop down the stretch are my best calls because outside of
88:42that, it's like I mean, someone in the chat said earlier like I wasn't scared of Puka or McAffrey last year. Um, and
88:48they both crushed, but it's tough to take credit for first round picks.
88:55We loved Achan. We loved Achen, but it's tough for those to like fully pay off. Fantasy is funny in that way.
89:06like Han was awesome, but really the the two I would say the two biggest hits
89:14uh were two three turn JT who I was fine with and JSN who we were fading but even still we drafted enough Harold
89:25Fannon and enough McAffrey it didn't matter.
89:44Yeah, I was out on the Jets last year.
89:45Even though people swear that I'm a homer that only drafts Jets, we were out on the Jets last year.
90:00It's a shame last year we could have even had a bigger year because some of our biggest stands we got robbed. Ibuka gets robbed. I
90:08still believe that the hamstring injury and like the Baker Mayfield like the whole offense injury screwed us.
90:13Scatterabo dislocating his ankle.
90:14Scatabo we had dude Scatabo like propelled so many of my team like he kind of handed the baton off for a
90:22lot of my teams last year. Uh Scatabo and uh Roma Dunce honestly Roma Dunce is on the cover of our like uh all-in video
90:30from last year like my the players I'm betting this season on. He he's on the cover of that. We drafted a [ __ ] ton of
90:36Odun. Oh I was drafted a lot of Olve last year too. I was getting [ __ ] on by uh a lot of people in the chat when I
90:41would take Olive.
90:44So, I'll take credit on some of those guys. But, yeah, you're not you're never going to be perfect in a given year,
90:48man. You're going to have misses. You're going to have hits. Like, it just is what it is.
90:54Like, we we of course wasted a lot of fifth round picks on Travis Hunter.
90:58Like, that's just the reality of the situation.
91:05Hey, let's go Kovar.
91:13CMC at pick nine is nice.
91:17He seem he seems like he's slipping McAffrey almost. I think especially in home league people are squeamish about it.
91:25But it's tough, man. It's like you either you either want to win your league or you don't.
91:29So we have three more picks until we're out of here.
91:35I don't know what I want at all, fellas.
91:41Damn. Chris Bell goes, we could take a backup tight end.
91:48Backup tight end. Probably not a terrible idea.
91:56Do I need more Travis last round Travis Hunter in the portfolio?
92:01Should we take more swings at running back? I think we probably should take some more swings at running back.
92:07It is a damn near zero RB team after all.
92:12Someone took Caleb. Anybody take McGowan.
92:15Hate that I said that out loud though.
92:17We're going to take We'll take Hawk, assuming he has a different bye-week than Bowers, which he does. Okay, we'll take Hawk just in case. That's fine. If
92:26we drop him, we drop him.
92:28The hell's going on?
92:31Am I not up? I am up. Oh, okay. Um, that was a poor showing for me.
92:42I I mean, here's the thing. Travis Hunter has the upside to be my Herald fan in this year. I know everyone's sick
92:46and tired of Travis Hunter, but you get him for free.
92:50And there is an aspect of like him being a handcuff. Like I can't get out of my head that I do think that there's a
92:58there's like a 10% chance he's the leading scoreer for the Jaguars wide receivers during the fantasy football playoffs.
93:14I'm not a fan of Rashi Rice at all this year. I talked about him in my uh players I'm avoiding in the early
93:19rounds.
93:24Yep. Worthy was a big whiff for me last year as well.
93:29The only issue with spamming Hunter at the end of the drafts is that he is so hard to cut because he's just going to
93:34be a guy where like the entire year he's on your bench and it's like he's just kind of stuck there.
93:45But I'm just I'm just Exactly. Like the thing about Hunter is I'm pretty confident in the talent level.
93:53He just needs an injury ahead of him.
93:55McGawan goes good pick.
94:06So we have two more picks here.
94:09I think I'll probably take one more running back dart throw. We have Bree Price, Bill Coleman, Emma Johnson. Yeah, we could
94:16use one more. We can never have enough running backs in a build like this, honestly.
94:23How many receivers we got? Four receivers, five, six.
94:33How' the team turn out with the uh the guide, brother?
94:52Let me know how the team ended up.
94:56Let's see.
95:04Damn, I wish we had if we got Cyrus Allen to get back to us. That would have been so awesome.
95:11Pat Bryant goes, "He's a guy I want to start sprinkling in a little more, but I just can't see a world where I'm
95:17using him in a managed league." And like maybe that's my final words, man. I I get what you're saying, but
95:32it's just like I I just think when you're talking like round 17 in a draft like this and I'm looking like the next
95:38best receivers on my board are like Trey Harris, you know what I mean? Like Trey Harris, I guess Jaylen McMillan is
95:47out there.
95:52It's just I'd rather figure out the path to upside later. And like what there's a good chance that Travis Hunter sucks at
95:58corner. What happens then? What happens if he plays corner and he sucks?
96:05Because that's on the menu.
96:17No, I'm getting myself all jacked up for Hunter. We're going to take Hunter.
96:33started Gibbs, Nico Pickkins, Love. Oh, good lord, dude. You got a 412 Coloulston Lovel.
96:45What's your uh RB2 situation look like?
96:52But I think the thing about Hunter, like I get what you're saying, he's focused so much energy on defense, he'd be miles
96:56behind, but I just think like he's one of these rare guys where even like last year, you got to remember last year when
97:01he was balling, like he probably didn't even really know what the [ __ ] plays were, man.
97:08And again, like remember, we're like we're like squinting and we're trying to because Hunter's a very similar bet to like a lot of these rookie wide
97:17receivers. Like when we think about rookie wide receivers and how they they stack on points at the end of the season, like what if what if Hunter
97:24sucks at corner, Jacobe Myers hand issue is a bigger deal than they thought and they go into the by-week and they're
97:32like we're pulling the plug on Hunter at corner. We're throwing Hunter at receiver. Um and what if he's next year next year's Parker Washington when like
97:41week 12 and on uh Hunter is putting up like you know 15 plus points per game.
97:46I'm not saying that that's going to happen. I'm just saying in a 20 round draft like this where he's essentially free, I wouldn't mind having damn near
97:5550% of my teams having Travis Hunter stored away. That's my thought process.
98:04That's my thought. I I I will say like a home league like uh Travis Hunter is like on the bench of my or he's on the
98:09waiverss of my home league. Like if I only have like six bench spots, I'm not taking Travis Hunter. It's why I
98:13wouldn't do it in your idiot league mates. But in a league like this where it's 20 rounds and I'm debating between
98:19Travis Hunter and I mean who's even who's even the next best I mean look at look at what I mean I know some of you
98:27guys might be Zachariah Branch guys but like we're just talking completely different stratosphere of of talent. You know what I mean? Like this is bleak.
98:38Finoi, I guess, is a fun uh handcuff in a similar way, but I just think Hunter's better than all these dudes by a lot.
98:55Dude, he he was literally the way that Travis Hunter played wide receiver in college in route to a Heisman. Now, of
99:02course, the Heisman was on the back of like playing both ways and being this like uh show Otani style thing we've
99:08never seen before. The way that he was winning in college was looking to the sideline for a hand signal that told him
99:14the route to run. He did not know the progression. He did not know the uh play design at all. He just knew on this
99:22given play, I'm going 10 yards down the field and running a dig. That's that's what he knew. Um and he was a monster.
99:30It genuin gives me goosebumps talking about Travis Hunter. I am still a massive believer. Um I I just think I think it's a matter of
99:41when, not if that he becomes a special player in some way. But we'll see.
99:51It's a good thing because it it just proves how much is there, man. It just proves how much is there.
100:03I mean, I I suppose I get what you're saying, but like Zachariah Branch had to like transfer to get away from like Mai Lemon and Jacobe
100:14Lane.
100:17And then like he didn't really do much next to like like I don't mind Zachariah Branch, but like Zachariah Branch is
100:24probably like Juan Delale Robinson.
100:36That That's where I'm at. He He's somebody where I want him on half of my team. Similar to the Herald Fan bet last
100:41year where it's like this probably doesn't work. I probably cut this guy, but if it does work, could be special.
100:53Super chat from Kai Hersh.
101:02Two wide receiver one flex had the last pick from the TW 10 spot.
101:07Both would you be with Lovelin andor passing on you? You know two wide receiver one flex. What? This is a 10-man league.
101:16I give you permission to take him at the 34 turn. You can take level at the 34 turn. I I would probably if he gets a
101:24three four, I'm probably taking him no matter what.
101:29Um I definitely want at least running one running back on the turn, but I I would probably go like lamb running
101:35back.
101:38Oh, you got the 10 spot and a 12man.
101:40Okay. Okay.
101:43I think I'm still like lamb.
101:46Uh I'm probably still Lamb and then a running back. and then see where you're at. Three, four turn. But if you want to
101:54in a two two wide receiver, one flex league, you can certainly double tap running back, especially if it's like James Cook,
102:04man. Trey Harris ain't no Travis Hunter, man. What are you on?
102:13Let's do Jordan James goes. That's a good pick.
102:20Let's do a fun rookie, man. Let's do Let's do De Man Clayborn.
102:26Let's do Deon Clayborn and then cut him.
102:29Kind of another stack to Kyler, I guess.
102:48Your keeper is Jamir Gibbs.
102:53Respect.
102:56But all right, fellas. I think we're winding down here.
103:00These RT Sports takes hour 45 and we got two rounds left. But um I'll wrap it up here. You guys know how it is. I'm going
103:08to take my kicker and defense off stream. I don't feel like uh filling air here as I take the Chargers defense or
103:16whatever the I don't know. I don't know what's available. But um I appreciate you guys watching.
103:23As always, subscribe, leave a like.
103:26We'll be live tomorrow. We'll be live every day. We'll be live every day for the next week. This Tuesday through next
103:32Tuesday. And then that's it for this season. Um still got plenty of streams to go. Um, probably going to do some
103:39underdog drafts tomorrow. Probably going to have a video up tomorrow. Look out for all of it. Subscribe, leave a like.

103:54sleepers, player notes for every player, you could stick it to your sleeper league. You can do uh a printout, all of
103:59that and more. Um, and we do have one super chat that I missed. If you get Bree in the third and Gary Wilson comes
104:06back, um I would not take two Jets. Now, even if Gary Wilson's the best available player, I I would pass. But thank you
104:13guys for watching and I'll see y'all in the next one.
