0:00What's going on, man? Welcome back to the basement.
0:06I'm Ron, and we are gathered here for another fantasy football draft, half PPR, best ball over on Underdog in the Best Ball Mania, $2
0:21million to first place. We finally get a draft pick that isn't the 12 spot. We are drafting from the 103. Honestly, one
0:27of the worst places to draft from, but we are here. We are ready to go.
0:32It's Sunday night.
0:35How is everybody doing?
0:38In the chat, we have a lot to go over. I did just drop a video today talking about all of the rankings changes from
0:45over the weekend, whether that was preseason usage, injuries, all of that and more. I'm sure I'll get questions about Jeremiyah Love and Christian
0:53McCaffrey felt like the two bigger stories that happened, of course, after I got done recording.
1:00Um How are we? What's going on? What's going on?
1:08Let's see who's in here. We got Nathan Weaver. We got Nathan Weaver. What's going on? Always sleep on your preseason reactions before you come to any
1:14conclusions. What the hell are we on about in here?
1:16Locked in. What's going on? What's going on? Another day. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
1:20We got OD Hesson here.
1:27What's going Oh, oh, little gift. A little gift. Give me a Bijan at 103.
1:36Now, here here's the funny part, fellas, is when we talk about best and worst draft positions, I would have the three
1:42and the four spot as two of the worst, but they become two of the best if Bijan or Gibbs falls to you. And it's also a
1:49good lesson of why draft position matters, but in any given draft, anything can happen.
1:56Such a beautiful month. Yes, sir. It's August, we're streaming.
2:01Let's keep eating, for sure. Another great video today, thank you, man. Thank you. We got M Measor in here. Happy Sunday to Hemslinger, what's going on?
2:07We got Google.
2:08Ellie Case.
2:10Thoughts on Breece dude? I got him in the middle of the sixth round right now.
2:13We got Mom Stealer in here.
2:15We got just got pick three in your home league, hell yeah.
2:20MTX, Mr. August, what's going on? We got Tim in here.
2:23We got Logan in here, finally away from the wheel. What the hell, Eli?
2:27Do you have a superflex strategy video?
2:28I don't. I don't. But, we'll probably do a superflex stream. Like, I'll do a superflex mock draft the night before your redraft league mates, and it'll
2:39kind of be me talking through uh some strategy stuff.
2:43Double hero RB has been really working well in the mocks, hell yeah. Called the Love situation perfectly.
2:51Enjoy the streams. Any opinion on Tyson?
2:53Uh a lot of that's covered in today's video, but yeah, I moved Tyson down probably like 30 or so spots.
2:58My stream is tomorrow, come on now.
3:01I wanted to chase there to watch the man at work.
3:04Who's hungover today, yo? Love your work, just bought the basement draft guide, hell yeah.
3:08>> [clears throat] >> You met DeMarco Murray today?
3:11How far to CMC? I still have CMC at the six for now. For now. Or no, no, the five for now.
3:18Uh look, we don't have a body part mentioned. It's as of right now, it's simply just veteran rest rest for tightness. So, that is the description
3:26we have.
3:27For now, I'm going to have him at the five, but the more and more info we get that's negative, I'll move him behind
3:33Jonathan Taylor.
3:34And then I'll move him behind James Cook. And then I think that's really the furthest I could move him down.
3:40Uh unless if it's like, yeah, he's missing the first four weeks of the season. And that is full-on panic mode.
3:45Uh but I don't think we're there just yet. I don't think we're there just yet.
3:50Turning up the AC as you guys know. For whatever reason, I turn on the bright lights and all of a sudden it gets it
3:55gets hot.
3:57Uh, but yeah, we had uh James Cook goes pretty high here at the 1.07. I'm trying to see if anything else sticks out here.
4:04See what comes back. See now, what I don't like doing, I'm not going to do the London Bijan starts. We're actually
4:09going to go Malik Nabers.
4:11Yeah, let's go Malik Nabers.
4:13That's a fun start.
4:15And we'll see what comes back around.
4:23I have Brooks Yeah, I have Brooks ahead of Stevenson and Jaylen Warren, but behind uh Treyvion Henderson and Kendarian Price.
4:33What's up? We got Odell Beckham here.
4:34Pick three McCaffrey, Chase, or St.
4:36Brown. For me, it's Chase.
4:38What's up? What's up?
4:40Thoughts on Loveland? You could take him 3.01. I have him as like a 3-4 turn pick.
4:46Not fading what You're having a hard time not fading Waddle. Why is that?
4:51I like Waddle personally. Uh per routes, like per route metric wise, he's been amazing throughout his entire career.
4:58And now he gets to be the number one option for a team that'll score points and have a good offensive line.
5:03I'm pretty excited about it.
5:06So, Pickens goes. Dang.
5:10Oh, this guy just This guy took Jeremiah Jeremiah Love 21st overall. He said, "I don't care at all about this." Let's do this then. Let's take
5:20Let's take Breece.
5:22Let's do a Breece team.
5:25Bijan, Breece, Malik Nabers. I think that that'll work.
5:28Is J. Love's ankle worse than thought?
5:30Honestly, no. That was kind of the interesting part. Like, in today's video when I recorded, like I think people are double counting.
5:36Like the I know that they kind of reported on the ankle, but when I made the video, I was pretty certain it was like um about
5:42about as low grade or not a big deal ankle sprain or high ankle sprain as you could get. It sucks though because
5:53that's going to keep you out 3 to 4 weeks. Essentially, he's going to have no practice time between now and week
5:57one. Uh I think that he will try to shoot up for week one.
6:00>> [clears throat] >> The issue now becomes someone that maybe could have out of the gates been the lead back. The Tyler
6:06Allgeier stuff is going to come to fruition where he's probably going to be much more of a split in the first few
6:09weeks. I think he still has a season-long upside that I've been betting on. Uh he was drafted very highly. If this
6:15isn't a major major injury, uh I ended up moving him behind Breece, behind Trey McBride. He's still my 303 overall. Uh I'll kind of see how the
6:24market reacts and goes go from there, but it's not something that I'm super super spooked off by. Like I I think
6:30it's in the same category as uh Emeka Egbuka's toe issue that's like iffy for week one, Luther Burden's groin injury that's iffy for week one. These
6:41guys we're drafting in rounds three and four with like similar concerns. So, uh really putting Jeremiah Love behind Breece is as as good as I could do. Uh
6:51and I think if you need a running back in round three, I can't really push him down much further than that.
7:02But I'm certain I'm going to be asked about Jeremiah Love like 14 more times.
7:06My uploading hero RB strategy before Wednesday night, it's going to be close.
7:18Yeah, it's at least enough to impact week one and really the biggest thing is just the Allgeier split was always the
7:23worst of our concerns, but we saw in the preseason it was a 70-30 split. It was everything we wanted, and if we could
7:28have just had a healthy Jeremiah Love in week one with that exact split, uh he'd be a smash in the third. Uh and now it
7:34just kind of murkies things. Murkies the water there. Uh being cautious with CMC is what I heard. Yeah, that's what I'm
7:39saying. I wouldn't go crazy on uh moving down McCaffrey.
7:44Yeah, McCaffrey got the same thing reported last year.
7:50Uh for me, I'm JT over James uh yeah, I'm JT over James Cook.
7:54In any and all format.
7:56James Cook at the 106 crazy uh to a certain extent, it's crazy.
8:01Uh in these Underdog drafts, no. I also have Malik Nabers ranked as my 22nd overall player.
8:10Odds of the Pats backfield swings to high usage for either guy?
8:14I think it's about 50/50.
8:21Your favorite start you've seen for me?
8:23I thought people I thought people don't like Breece at all. So, I'm surprised by that. Wow, so this guy doubles up on
8:27McBride and Loveland here.
8:29We're one pick away.
8:32This guy puts us in a spot where we can just take Luther Burden here. Yeah, let's take Luther Burden.
8:39And keep it pushing to the turn.
8:43I will say though, a note I'll have in the three spot, I know it's like it's whatever cuz, you know, but I'll say
8:48like with this Puka pick here, let's say you don't go love, you take Puka, you take Drake London, you come back around,
8:54then you can take here, it would have been Jeremiah Love or Breece Hall, right? Like if Love makes it all the way
8:58back, you can go running back here or you can go McBride. I think you could probably go Jeremiah Love here. And then
9:03in this late four, even in a home league, you're going to have your pick of like Etienne, Swift, Montgomery.
9:09Not crazy about taking running backs in that range, but if you can start your draft Puka, Drake London, uh you you now have afforded yourself
9:15the opportunity to bite on a running back in the dead zone, which it's not impossible for running back in the dead zone to hit, it's just
9:22not my preferred uh strategy. Uh let's go Mike Evans here, I think.
9:29Even though it wants McLaurin.
9:31No, let's go McLaurin.
9:34Screw it. I I I Mike Evans, McLaurin, Devonte as like, I don't know.
9:38Shrug your shoulders and take one of them to be honest.
9:43Who's the latest RB you'd be comfortable with as your RB1 in a 14 teamer?
9:47Probably Breece.
9:55I love Breece at the 303. Um, he was used as a bell cow in the preseason game. I will say I wouldn't I wouldn't
10:00run out the best case scenario just yet because we're waiting on Isaiah Davis to come back from injury.
10:04Um, but I don't know. I just think that Breece Hall projects really well to catch a lot of passes. Last year he
10:08looked the part and was explosive. Uh, and he paid off as a third round pick last year in his games without Brandin
10:14Cooks. And those were games with Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields where he was on pace for like 40 receptions. I think that he's going
10:20to be on pace more for 50 plus, 60 plus this year. Uh, and can flirt with like 16 plus points per game and be a pretty
10:25big hit in the third round.
10:31Didn't fall here.
10:34No, at the 102 I'm pretty firmly one of the two running backs. Yeah, hit the like button, why not? Smash the like
10:40button.
10:41Sunday night.
10:43CMC went in the second round on NFFC.
10:45Wow.
10:50Let me get Let me get up to date on what's going on in these, uh, First time catching you live, what's
10:54going on? What's going on? Second team is nuts. What? Chase, London, Pickens, Swift, Toon? Yeah, that's pretty sweet.
10:59That's This is a pretty good blueprint of what to do if you find yourself stuck at three or four and you take Chase.
11:05You can just take best player available.
11:08It's of course like not ideal, but you know, you take these wide receivers early, then you can hammer out some running backs in the middle.
11:16You are, you know, you are wading into rough waters taking two stabs in like the dead zone, but if you take three straight wide
11:26receivers, you can you can afford it.
11:33Why is London falling? That's actually a good question. I think yeah, it's two is a good answer.
11:41Yeah, I talked about love at the top.
11:44Um, I moved him down a few spots, nothing crazy.
11:49Yeah, Breece at the 406. That's That's not especially in an RT Sports draft.
11:53Yeah, CMC still at 105.
11:57We got a super chat here.
12:04Let's see. So, I got the 103 in two of my main leagues, which sucks. Should I try to move to back half of the draft if
12:09I can?
12:12Um, I think the 106 is more than fine.
12:15Uh, one 106 I'm absolutely fine with, but if you can move your 103 to the back half of like literally anything besides
12:20the 103 or 104, I would.
12:23But, that's just personal preference.
12:28Let's stack Daniels to McLaurin.
12:37Just finished RT Sports. Am I worried about Tua? No, not really.
12:41Not really. I I like Tua.
12:45Fifth round Tua as your RB1 in a zero RB build, I think that works.
12:49Also just had a draft or cook one inside the top seven. Uh, I wouldn't read too much into it. Wow, so there goes Tyson.
12:57Am I the only person nervous about London because of Tua? Uh, no.
13:01But, I don't know.
13:04Yeah, here's the thing. Everyone gets so so scared of the C-word. Every backfield is a committee by and large outside of the top two
13:12rounds of your draft.
13:18Everyone gets very spooked by the by the C-word.
13:23Take Metcalf here.
13:26Also funny, I don't know. You can say one thing like it was a committee it was a committee last year and Travis Etienne
13:30was the RB 13. Like go and look at the snap counts between two and Lequinte Allen and Travis Travis Etienne. Like
13:38just how it works.
13:41Go here. You can look at the snaps from yesterday where Skyy Moore got out snapped by Tyron Tracy. Etienne's going to have Kamara eating into his work. Um
13:50and Amon-Ra St. Brown is healthy so you're going to have Swift, Amon-Ra St.
13:52Brown, Montgomery, and Woody Marks.
13:53Jadarian Price is going to have to fend off Charbonnet at some point. Um if you I I I mean Judkins is going to have to
13:59fend off Dylan Sampson but even not like I guess you can get a bellcow in Cleveland's offense if that's something that's interesting. Bucky has of course
14:07Sean Tucker on the goal line kind of kind of Gainwell through the air.
14:10Henderson has Rhamondre. Warren has Dowdle. Rhamondre has Henderson. Like I don't know. Once you're outside the top four rounds, I think fading somebody
14:17cuz they're in a committee is kind of crazy.
14:28And I'm also fine just taking shots out of a committee or an ambiguous backfield on a team that's going to be top 10 in
14:33scoring.
14:37Uh I don't mind the 112.
14:45Uh I am still ahead of Kyren Williams but I moved him behind Breece.
14:48Uh Jeremiah Love.
14:50You think Cook and CMC flip? So you you're saying CMC after JT and James Cook?
14:59We got Brandon Rafferty in here. What's going on? London had great games with Desmond Ridder. Yeah, I agree. I'm not moving down. I haven't really budged on
15:05London.
15:07On the go and have unique content. Thank you, man.
15:09Thank you for tech checking in.
15:13Yeah, Fant made us a lot of money last year. Fant on like I had him on all of those FFPC tight end premium leagues. He
15:18he genuinely won me leagues.
15:22Yeah, I get it. I get it. I mean, we've been burned on every player and then players end up hitting, you know.
15:27JT had burned everybody and since 2021 and then was awesome last year.
15:36Yeah, exactly. Like it's not a scary committee. It's It's Chris Rodriguez and Laquon Allen. There's There's worse committees to be a part of.
15:50Yeah, exactly. And the ambiguous backfields to target are the ones in good offenses. Liam Cohen is also a guy that you can go back to when Bucky Irving was
15:57a league winner on the Bucks. He was in a committee with Rashad White and Sean Tucker that year. But Liam Cohen is very
16:03pointed with his running back usage with design targets in the screen game, which is like a cheat code. I I had a tweet
16:09last week that Travis Etienne no other running backs added more points per game through the screen game than Travis Etienne. The other guys were
16:18Bijan Gibbs and maybe Achane.
16:22And a lot of that's going to go to Tu and I think Tu is the explosive guy in the screen game,
16:26which is going to really boost things for him.
16:31Let's take what tight ends are available. Okay, we can Now, let's take a tight end. Let's take Fant.
16:42Take Fant and see who comes back.
16:51Can Can you send Deebo a win if you wasn't like banged up and not practicing? Thoughts on 105? I think 105
16:57is a good pick.
17:00Thoughts on Josh Jacobs? I can't do it.
17:02I can't do it. Groin injury, off-the-field stuff. I think Marshawn Lloyd's a real guy. I know everyone's going to say, "Oh, he can't stay
17:06healthy." But can't stay healthy until you can.
17:11Why is Downs being drafted so low? I mean, I keep on pushing him up.
17:15Will I uploading another video before tomorrow at 8:00? Probably not. Probably not, but we'll see.
17:22Um Let's do Dart to Neighbors here. I was debating doing Diggs, but didn't feel necessary.
17:37I like this though. We're done at quarterback. We have two running backs. We got wide receiver to the flex. We got a tight end.
17:44Very balanced team right now. Anyone that's just tuning in, wow, we're over 500 people in here on a Sunday night.
17:49Thank you for everyone that's coming out here. Subscribe. Leave a like on the stream. Uh we went Bijan, Neighbors, Breece Hall, Luther Burden, Terry
17:56McLaurin, Jayden Daniels, DK Metcalf, Harold Landry, Jackson Dart, of course.

18:16all of the above.
18:17Uh how often do I update my rankings, dude? Damn near daily, man. Damn near daily. Anyone that's in the basement draft guide, which is just a shameless
18:23plug, shameless plug on the basement draft guide.com, but uh I update it literally at I'm not going to say every day, but damn
18:31near every day. I updated it today, updated it yesterday. Uh when I update them, you can see like last updated here.
18:37And then you can also see uh the change log that shows you like how players are moving up or down in my
18:45rankings. Uh so make sure you check out that.
18:49basementdraftguide.com, also found down below.
18:54I got the third pick. No, I haven't got the third pick. Put any premium on McCaffrey insurance if you draft him. Uh
18:59I guess. I mean, Kaylin Black is so cheap, you can definitely do it if you'd like to.
19:07Yeah, 2024 JT, but even like 2023 JT was a [ __ ] show.
19:15In a 12-man two wide receiver two flex.
19:19Gibbs, Hampton, AJ Brown, T. Higgins, Jaylen Waddle, Mike Evans, Evan Engram, Kmet. Yeah, I mean that's going to play.
19:22That's going to play, brother.
19:24More bullish or bearish on anyone after they updated some of the player photos.
19:28Shut up.
19:29You like the most out of Mims, McConkey, Abuka, Smitty, Flowers? I am Smitty Flowers tier break Abuka, McConkey.
19:53Yeah, chat's fine. I'm trying to keep up right now. My bad, fellas. This is ultimate boom bust, I suppose.
19:58Would I take Montgomery? Uh I'd like to take more of him, but he just gets taken ahead of where I would take him.
20:05My favorite pick?
20:07Um One or two. I would say one or two.
20:13That's a lame answer, though.
20:15Uh if not one or two, like I'm a little bit weird. I think people really like the turn.
20:19I'm not as big a fan of the turn. My next favorite pick would probably be like the 10 spot or the nine spot,
20:23something like that.
20:24Something where I could catch a value, maybe eight eight through 10. If I could catch a value uh or lock in James Cook at minimum, I
20:31feel pretty good.
20:37Let's do Let's do Rashod White for the stack to JD.
20:44And then we'll see what comes back.
20:46What's this overlay? This is the solver.
20:48I have a link in the description. If you use promo code Ron, uh you get 20% off on the solver.
20:56I'll have to get a NFFC Abuka. Literally zero, bro. He went 201 over there.
21:02We got a we got a FFPC Abuka last night, I think.
21:06I agree. Darts really nice in Best Ball.
21:08And we got Neighbors there, so why not?
21:11Best draft strategy at the 108 in a Superflex. Man, thank you for the super chat, but it's a tough one. Uh, let me get back to
21:19you in a second here.
21:22Let's do Isaiah Likely to D'Onta, I think.
21:25And I think we're done at tight end and quarterback. I mean, maybe we take a super late flyer on one or the other, but
21:32feel pretty good about that.
21:34Uh, what was I about to say? Oh, yeah, super chat.
21:36Damn, man. I I haven't done much Superflex drafts.
21:40Um, I have Superflex rankings on the Basement Draft Guide.
21:44Uh, I'll pull that up on my other screen and kind of tell you Let's see. Let's actually see what those look like right now, cuz I I don't touch
21:51them much. I I kind of did an initial like this is how I would do things, and then it just automatically updates based on my one
21:58quarterback rankings.
22:00Who do I have ranked eighth overall?
22:01Let's see.
22:06So, here's my top 10. I have Gibbs, Bijan, Chase, Puka, Josh Allen, McCaffrey, JT, JSN, Lamar at the nine, Amon-Ra at the
22:1610.
22:17So, I think at the eight, if you could get one of Lamar, JSN, JT, or McCaffrey, I feel pretty good about
22:25it. And then what, you come back around?
22:29If I could get one of James Cook. If I could get James Cook to come back, I would love that. I don't know if you're
22:33going to be able to.
22:35Um, I'd be thinking about one of like Maye, Daniels, Burrow, Caleb Hurts.
22:41If not, you could talk me into a position player like Jefferson, Lamb, JSN, Chase Brown. And then like round three, four is kind of just a wild west
22:47in a Superflex, man, because you don't know I I'd say my biggest point of emphasis with the Superflex draft is just kind of
22:53be aware of the quarterback thirst.
22:57Like just really monitor how how everyone's playing quarterback, cuz every room is different.
23:03How do we get into your league and what's the structure? This is a Best Ball Mania draft over on Underdog. Uh so
23:08you have to get in here with me.
23:10Uh but I I'm I'm usually pretty open with when I join it, but they're tough.
23:20If I double tap the wide receiver with the one-two turn, how would I land the plane?
23:25That's an interesting question. I probably take a running back at 3-4 paired with a quarterback or tight end.
23:32Uh come back around, take another running back, take another receiver.
23:36Uh and then kind of just laying the plane from there.
23:40I What's all this James Cook over Jonathan Taylor stuff going on? I I'm still I'm a big James Cook guy, but
23:44that's that's a bridge too far for me.
23:48I I have to be honest, I I I talked about him briefly today, but I'm out on Tyron Tracy after that I
23:53think that there's a chance, dude.
23:55You can do You can do worse.
23:57Man, am I taking Okonkwo? Nah, I'm not going to.
24:05I don't even like Naylor, but we'll just take our medicine and draft a Naylor here.
24:14And then I don't know. I'm trying to think of what we going to do here. We're definitely a little bit light at
24:17receiver still.
24:20Who's our next best ranked receiver right now?
24:24Yeah, we have We just have guys a lot cuz these are my like redraft ranks converted to Best Ball where like I'm
24:29much more ceiling oriented with a guy like Pat Bryant. But I know in Best Ball like he's probably not going to give you
24:34a great floor.
24:36We have what? So we have Jacksonville and Cowboys. Do we have Is Flournoy around?
24:43Flournoy goes in 20 picks, though.
24:48Okonkwo went.
24:51I'm going to take Bigsby, actually.
24:52Let's just take Tank Bigsby. Tank Bigsby is a great pick, by the way.
24:56In case anything happens to Saquon, he also might just carve out a little role.
25:04Uh I'm in on Nico Collins this year. I I actually like George Pickens more, but I have them both as like
25:10uh really strong picks at the two-three turn. Would you take Chase Brown over CD in a half PPR double flex?
25:19Man.
25:27I would think about it long and hard is what I would tell you.
25:31I would probably still prefer CD Lamb, but if you wanted to take Chase Brown there, you absolutely could.
25:36Uh what I would like to know what pick you'd be at. What pick would you be at?
25:40Was this in the second round? Who did you take in the first round? What's going on there?
25:44Gassing up the Basement Draft Guy, I appreciate it, man. Yeah, the live sync is good. I I will say, look, full
25:49transparency, it does suck. I have gotten comments of like, "What about Yahoo?" or "What about ESPN?" "What about CBS?"
25:55It's year one of the Basement Draft Guy.
25:56I promise you guys, I'm actually so stoked because the Basement Draft Guy has been awesome, right? Uh it's August 16th.
26:04You guys have been buying it, loving it, using it. Uh I've been using it, loving it on the back end, making tweaks. Uh we
26:12actually did a an update the uh 2 days ago.
26:15Where now what it used to be like you could get my ranking, and then without going to the ADP Edge Tool, it would be
26:19like uh the consensus ADP, and it would just be like it would just kind of show who I'm higher or lower than without
26:23having to go to ADP Edge. But now, you can actually toggle between consensus ADP or the Sleeper ADP or the Yahoo
26:29expert ranking. Uh so you can actually click it to that as you're drafting and have it like the guys I'm higher or
26:34lower on than the site you're on. Uh so we're just like continuing to make it better, and continuing to use it.
26:40Uh and it's just really fun to you know, have my hands all over this and like it, you know, in a not a weird way.
26:49Uh and just make this a really good tool that I'm using myself, that I making for you guys. So, uh but what I all of that
26:54is saying is that I'm even more stoked for when we kind of really build this thing out next season. We will
26:59definitely have it across every site you could think of. Uh I'm going to probably build something out so that I can use it
27:04on my own damn the the boomer FFPC drafts and stuff. So, uh I'm very excited to for kind of where the um the
27:11direction of this is going. It's it's definitely a lot better than the uh the Google Sheets I've used in the past,
27:17which is like look, we we love and appreciate that Damn, he takes Trey Harris.
27:28Let's do Jayden Blue and then that's going to be our last running back.
27:32We'll take Jayden Blue.
27:33And then that's eight at RB.
27:37Then we're quarterback, wide receiver, tight end rest of the way.
27:41I don't We might even be We're probably fine at tight end.
27:44We It really wants us to make up ground at wide receiver here. Uh this is the solver kind of telling me what to do.
27:52So, let's take another receiver. Yeah, we're pretty weak at receiver, no doubt.
27:57This might be like a a very classic like this is from back in the day like a 2592 build.
28:02If anybody remembers when that used to be like one of the metas.
28:13All right. So, I was ranting for a while. What's going on in here? Let me skipping Chase is asking for trouble.
28:21Like skipping Chase Brown for CD?
28:26Talk me into JT. I'm dude, really the biggest difference last year is his receiving role. He I think he set a
28:32career high in receptions.
28:34And they didn't add or like you know what I mean? If they signed a Kenneth Gainwell or you know, they don't have a
28:38Laquon Allen on their team. I don't see Seth Magowan as that coming out of school, same with DJ Giddens. So, I
28:43think he's going to be like one of the bell cows of the league.
28:47And I also just kind of trust Shane Steichen to like run a good offense. I think that he's pretty easy to pencil in for like 18
28:54plus points per game. And we already saw the upside last year of like, yes, he had like 23 plus points per game, but
28:59even if the offense isn't that sustainable, you can still scale the offense back to like a fringe top 10 offense, which is still asking a lot,
29:05but we're talking ceiling outcomes here.
29:07And JT's probably like a 21 plus point per game guy in that scenario.
29:11Like JT last year showed a receiving ceiling that James Cook hasn't at the the top level.
29:17He's a guy JT now has two legendary seasons under his belt. I'm not saying that that means he's going to do that
29:21every time, but there's very few guys in the modern era that can touch a legendary season. He's done it twice so far. One time from the
29:28second or actually both times. One time from the second round and one time from the one-two turn.
29:32Um So, I did at 4:01. What I do at 4:01?
29:39Oh, Abuka. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:47How many drafts did I do? We got a 500 plus in here. We'll we'll run up a second one.
29:52How prepared are you for the year to leave me each draft? Not very prepared.
29:54I like superflex is definitely out of my element. I'll I'll be honest with everybody.
30:00How are the start sit streams going to work this season? Uh it'll be on Patreon. So, I'll I'll blast out on
30:04Patreon like uh hey, here's a link. Uh and I think just depending on like how many people come to the chat, what I got going on that
30:11morning, we'll do anywhere from like 30 minutes to an hour. And just kind of rapid fire bounce off questions in there.
30:27What the hell is this guy on about? Love out for at least 2 months now. Got to be around six plus guy now. No, sir,
30:32brother.
30:33Uh no, sir. Let's do this.
30:37We got to take a receiver here.
30:41I might take Jerry Bernard. I don't know why the solver doesn't want us to do it.
30:44I'm not taking Calvin Ridley, bro.
30:47Let's do Jeremy Bernard.
30:50Well, we already have another Steeler.
30:54Do Jeremy Bernard.
30:57Then I might do Rodgers. If none of these guys go Rodgers, I'm not a crazy about Rodgers, but this team could afford one more
31:03quarterback and these wide receivers aren't really offering us anything crazy.
31:09Let's see if they if they bite on Rodgers.
31:14Malachi Fields, good pick.
31:18Yeah, no, no doubt. The Achilles thing is tough. You Someone said they don't have a good backup quarterback. Riley Leonard is kind of capable. I'm not
31:24saying I want to rely on Riley Leonard, but he's kind of capable.
31:30Yeah, no, look, I we've been pounding this drum the receiving drum all off season, but like what we don't want to
31:36do is price him, you know, and then draft him somewhere where the receiving role has to happen, you know? Right now, at
31:44the one two turn, he could pay off and then if the receiving role happens, good, that's awesome. Like he he pays
31:49off in a huge way. But if we start steaming him up and steaming him up, all of a sudden, if he doesn't have the receiving role,
31:56uh things get a little bit spooky, you know?
32:00If we start if we start putting him at a JT and McCaffrey, pricing him as the RB3 overall, uh that's where
32:08things get a little bit tricky. Look, and I love James Cook. I have a lot of James Cook.
32:12Let's not get that twisted. Um all right, let's do this. All right, again, everyone, please, when you click into my live stream, we
32:19both sign an agreement that when I pull up my drafts like this, you do not look at what I have going on.
32:26That is between me and the best ball gods, me, the solver, and the best ball gods. Uh we're going to have a BBM right now if anyone wants to
32:34hop in with us. Promo code Ron, of course.
32:37Bang. Appreciate everyone that's in here. Leave a like, man. You guys are going crazy. 545 people in here for just a casual Sunday stream where we're just
32:44drafting on Underdog.
32:46Uh it's in the air, fellas. Preseason week one happens.
32:50Streams are picking up.
32:52I think next weekend's a huge a huge uh fantasy draft weekend.
32:57So, I'm stoked.
33:03Give me uh super chat. What the hell's going on here? Give my Brooks and Nader from my league get three quarterback and
33:09superflex. What the hell is going on here?
33:12I would give up Brooks and Nader from my league neighbors, yes.
33:15I'm not quite sure what else you asked there.
33:20111 James Cook's fine by me.
33:28Which NFL team has the biggest has the chance to be the biggest surprise this appointment? I could see it being the
33:32Eagles. I could.
33:35How do I rank A.J. Brown, Nico Pickens, and Neighbors? I have that A.J. Brown, Neighbors, Pickens, Nico.
33:43Uh I'd have Chase Brown comfortably ahead of A.J. Brown in full PPR.
33:48Yeah, it's tough. It's tough, Henry.
33:50Uh it was funny at the time, and I'm glad we got the better part of that, but I I will say it's slightly on Pete for not
33:57setting a queue.
33:59But also, like we shouldn't have gone autoed. So, I don't know.
34:04What's going on, Ron?
34:07Yeah, I'd say James Cook at the James Cook anywhere after like the James Cook at the 109er or later, I think is like
34:12beautiful stuff.
34:15Uh yeah, I just wanted to take two running backs up top there. I'm also just not crazy about McBride or Rashee,
34:19especially in a McBride in a half PPR isn't that fun, and Rashee Rice I'm I'm completely out on this year.
34:28Who are you taking 101?
34:32You know, JT season last year for a guy that was only pacing for like 50 plus catches was nuts. Now, of course, his
34:38team's not going to be, you know, the Colts aren't going to be the best offense in football uh again here, but
34:46Who do you guys want as elite round flyer? We have Jaguar correlation, Cowboys correlation, Tennessee Oh, we'll take one of the
34:54Titans fun guys.
34:59Take uh Ihmir Smith-Marsette, I think. I think he's been getting some of the buzz, yeah.
35:04We'll do Ihmir Smith-Marsette here.
35:06Uh here's the final team. We go Daniels, Dart, Rodgers.
35:11We're on the clock over here. Wait up.
35:12All right, we're talking so much about James Cook in a half PPR. He's my eighth-ranked player. The solver wants me to go receiver. Screw it. But, you
35:18guys can see 14.2%. I got a lot of James Cook, fellas. I got a lot of James Cook.
35:22Don't ever get that twisted. But, putting in Adam Thielen or Christian McCaffrey or JT, I don't know. I don't know that I could do it. Um
35:29but here's here's the squad. Final squad from that draft. Uh Daniels, Dart, Rodgers, Bijan, Breece, Rachaad White, Tank Bigsby, Jaylen Blue, uh Neighbors,
35:36Burden, McLaurin, Metcalf, Naylor, Pat Freiermuth, Jeremy Bernard, Alec Ingold, Ihmir Smith-Marsette. Definitely weak at receiver here.
35:43Uh and then Fant and Isaiah Likely. Fun team. We threw quantity at receiver with eight of them. Uh but let's get going to
35:50our new draft here.
35:52Chase Brown at the 111. Good lord.
35:55Not that I think that that's crazy, but you know, price of the brick is going up is what I'll say.
36:01Colts could certainly implode.
36:03Colts could certainly implode.
36:08What's going to come back here? So, there goes Achane.
36:11Let's do Kenneth Walker.
36:13We'll do a little double hero RB start here.
36:18Yeah, we'll do Walker. I debated pretty hard about Brock Bowers here, but I can't do it.
36:24I love Brock Bowers, but half PPR best ball he becomes pretty tough to have on a lot of my teams.
36:32Happy Sunday substitute teacher. I don't know how I'm going to I don't know what I'm going to wear pulling up to
36:37Yardi league mates this year. Evan Silva was talking up Javonte today.
36:41I'm I'm comfortable sleeping on Javonte.
36:43I'm I'm pretty certain Javonte can't kill me.
36:48I'm pretty certain.
36:55How many thousands of dollars? I will say I I get this question often.
36:59This is my job. It is my job description. I would feel like a fraud if I wasn't, you know, putting my money where my mouth is and
37:05playing. Um you guys see the FFPC ones.
37:08We still haven't done a solo main event.
37:09We'll do a couple of those this off season. Uh this thing's kind of ratchet up here.
37:14Um I don't know. I I I I can't give you a firm answer.
37:18Uh I'm trying to think through it.
37:21Underdog's a little bit trickier because full transparency, uh I've been playing for a while, so I just have winnings that sit in there. And then of course,
37:30you know, get some slight credits as someone that's front facing with Underdog. Uh with the stuff that comes out of my
37:35pocket, um is the FFPC like the any of the high so like the 350s, the 2000s, whatever.
37:42Um it'll probably be a little over 10,000. That'd be my guess. That'd be my guess. But again, like I really do this
37:46Like that is the the whole point.
37:49Uh last year we placed well. Uh shout out Harold Fannin for winning us two individual main events. Harold Fannin was placed 20th.
37:56Uh we did well last year. Not, you know, not well enough that I'm going to retire off of a uh 13K win or whatever, but
38:13Uh dude, I was just giving like one of the top guys. It could be the Eagles. It could be the Eagles. Jalen Hurts could
38:20regress.
38:21Manning could be not be as good as expected. The offensive line is old.
38:24There's no Stoutland.
38:26Just saying.
38:30Punting QB and going Kyler Malik Willis, I think is absolutely fine.
38:42Why you out on Rashi? I mean, his knee is all [ __ ] up. He's got uh off-the-field issues. And I I just can't
38:48see the Chiefs putting their whole offense through Rashi Rice's 5-yard aDOT yet again. They They've done it since he was a rookie.
38:57Uh and it's just been more of a crutch than a a real engine of an offense.
39:04I think bringing Kenneth Walker in was to not have to run that offense back.
39:13I agree. James Cook Kenneth Walker is sweet. I I would say my favorite one-two turn pairing probably James Cook Chase Brown, but uh I think James Cook Kenneth
39:21Walker is sweet as well.
39:29Man, clout-wise, honestly, it's Zay Flowers.
39:46Even though No, I'm going to take T.
39:50This is pretty sweet, by the way. Like this start uh I passed on Abuka here.
39:53Tee Higgins in a half PPR is just like I think we're maybe overthinking it. Just like pushing him down and like wanting
39:59to you know, the the shiny toys of like Ladd and Abuka and everything. Like Tee Higgins in a half PPR, he's going to
40:04score 10 plus touchdowns. Uh but we're we're now invested in the Bills, Chiefs, and Bengals offenses. That feels pretty sweet.
40:13The 1.02 going to cook my joint.
40:21>> I don't play DFS, no. Um funny story, I actually wait I'm sure I could I could mend the relationship, but way back when
40:30I'm telling you guys, I've been in these streets for a long time. Way back when I was in high school, not of age,
40:36using like my mom's name and ID to play DraftKings like when it first came out, like the the huge boom of DraftKings.
40:45Uh playing it through my mom, uh her name, image, and likeness, if you will. Um and got caught.
40:55And then banned on DraftKings. And even still, if I try and like sign in on DraftKings, they're like uh like you
41:00know, you have to like give you give them your ID and stuff, and they're like my my shit's flagged. Um Let's do
41:09Let's do Josh Allen to James Cook.
41:14I think that's a fun way to do things here.
41:17Uh what was I about to say though?
41:20I'm sure I like even in into my 20s, I I tried to reach out and be like, "Yo, like this was a mistake. I was a kid.
41:25Like like get me back in."
41:27Nah.
41:29Slurp wide receivers. Now, I could have just spammed receivers, but I decided I want to take Josh Allen there.
41:36Uh this is BBM. But uh if I could win one thing, if I could win one thing, probably would be BBM, but it's really
41:47close between the main event. The main event winning the main event would be awesome.
41:52Uh I don't have a laptop. I've had your ranking rankings. Uh you can either print them out, or you can uh like I
41:58have a cheat sheet to print out, or you could pull it up on your phone.
42:03You should have the target round still on your phone.
42:06Uh yeah, I think your phone should work.
42:08I would just pull it up beforehand and just kind of see what you're looking at.
42:17Yeah, someone tell tell me what banned means.
42:24Almost didn't have a job.
42:26How do I get caught? I think I was just being stupid. There must have been like a discrepancy between either like
42:32uh there's probably a discrepancy between like email and uh phone number and all of that. I don't know.
42:41Don't retire when I win BBM.
42:45Man, I'm trying to blow up and act like I don't know nobody.
42:48>> [laughter] >> It would be fun It would be fun to have less pressure to
43:00cuz I don't know, like to peel back the curtain. I mean, in this job in this industry essentially I'd say like 80% of what I make comes
43:10August, September, which just puts a lot of pressure on me you know, videos doing well, me posting as many videos as I can.
43:20Doing the stream every day.
43:23But I don't know, it's also part of the fun. I was saying I was saying that like if I won a BBM, I I would
43:28feel less pressure overall.
43:31When it's peak season like this, I'd be able to just kind of make what I want to make and post whenever, but it's also
43:36good to have a little fire under your ass as well, is what I'll say.
43:44Stock up, down videos are godsends.
43:46Thank you, man. I I I I feel like in the past people don't really come to me for the stock up, stock down stuff, but it
43:51was a unique spot today where I felt I could be one of the first to the punch.
43:55Uh we need to just spam receivers here.
43:59Let's go Christian Watson and see what comes back.
44:06I don't know. You'd be shocked. I I like I don't know. It's interesting.
44:14It's interesting cuz I guess you could say Liam doesn't try, you know? Like chess Liam, he's built uh you know, he could go live
44:23at any point and get like 200, 300 plus people in his live chat.
44:27Um So, I don't know.
44:35It would be just It would just be a great bit of credibility is what I would say.
44:39You know, every time I push the But it is tough. Now that Now that you got I kind of say it out loud, I do think it
44:44would probably be main event winner.
44:46Um that I'd be able to say like you know.
44:51Cuz to me that's much closer to a home league than than a best ball.
44:59What's We can't do the elite tight end and quarterback and double running back up top. So, we're going to just take
45:04Brian Thomas here.
45:09What was I trying to say? Um Yeah, I think Honestly, Jimmy, you might want to just
45:22do both. You might want to You might want to print it out, but then also look on your phone just just in case.
45:29The phone the the mobile interface is is pretty solid. I definitely think I would prefer I prefer it on desktop, but the
45:35the mobile interface is solid. You can click around, read the notes and stuff, but if you're clicking around and reading notes and then also crossing
45:40players off and adding to your team, it might get a little a little I I I would bring I would bring
45:45the back up, you know, I I'd print out the cheat sheet, fold it up in the back pocket just in case, but I think the
45:49phone you'd be all right.
45:51So, yourself sure. I appreciate it. It's just I don't know. There's just a lot of different voices in this space.
45:56And I don't know I've never My special My specialty has never been um first to the bunch uh reaction stuff.
46:04Like uh uh I think honestly the under or Yahoo guys, the Yahoo guys, Josh and Hayden uh are the best at that. Like I
46:13I would rather shoot myself to be completely honest with you guys than do what they do where like after an entire day of watching NFL football
46:24uh Sunday night, they go live and talk about like the biggest takeaways. So, they do like their top 10 takeaways video, but they do it Sunday night. Uh
46:31and they don't I don't think they live stream. I think they record it, edit it, and then post it. Um it's a little bit easier for Hayden
46:39who's on the West Coast, but I don't know. It's just a lot. Like I'm sure you guys feel it as well, but like when you
46:43and I'm very lucky to call this a job and I'm just kind of ranting to nobody right now. Um Nobody cares about this.
46:51But there is a bit of a uh energy suck when you're watching from 1:00 p.m.
46:55through the Monday night football game for me to then like get up, turn the camera on, and like be on.
47:02And then wake up the next day, do the rookie receiver report and all that. I don't know.
47:09So, that's That's my nice way of saying Hayden and Josh I think do some of the best like uh reactionary stuff in the
47:15football space.
47:29Print math quest for direction just in case.
47:31I do have to make a good note though, like um the cheat sheet's been giving me some issues of like it's still not exactly where I want it
47:38to be. So, I'm going to double-check it in the morning.
47:41Cuz I know it like, you know, probably like 1 to 5% of users are actually printing out the cheat sheet, but I'm
47:46going to give it another check tomorrow, make sure uh it all look It's really just formatting more than anything. Like it'll it'll print out the ranking, just
47:53a matter of like the numbers looking right and things like looking good, I guess.
48:09Yeah, I appreciate it. That That like I think that I I'm one of the best at that. Like the deep the the nerdy stuff,
48:14the stuff that nobody asked for of, you know, looking at the wins above replacement and going back to 2010. Like that I all have I enjoy a lot. Um that
48:22that's all I was saying. It's just that like the, you know, the biggest movers from week one of the preseason isn't
48:26quite what people come to this channel for. Um but it is still a video I make.
48:33Uh let's do Jayden Reed. We've been doing a lot of yapping.
48:40Let's do Jayden Reed.
48:45Yeah, we got to make up ground at receiver right now.
48:53Walking into the draft with a couple pieces of paper is a piece piece move.
49:01Yeah, dude. That's like Look, you I mean I've never been a guy that's like, yeah, I watch all the film in the world. Like
49:08going back to watch the, you know, every every snap all 22 from half the games to crazy.
49:16>> [clears throat and cough] >> Let's see what comes back here.
49:24I'd be tempted to go No, I'm not going to go quarterback. I was going to say, oh wait, did someone took Trevor
49:29Lawrence? I mean, respect.
49:34Let's do Hmm, the thing wants us to go LaPorta.
49:39Oh no, it wants us to go Addison, actually.
49:44Yeah, let's make up ground at receiver.
49:48Now Now we should feel pretty good about where we're at with receiver. After taking Josh Allen here, we really got behind the eight ball at receiver, but I
49:54think we I think we recovered well. T Watson, Brian Thomas, Reed flex option, Addison flex option.
50:05All right, that's enough about getting into the meta the meta of my content here.
50:11Will we be going uh live at all? Yes or no. Outside of the start/sit on Patreon, probably not.
50:16It It's tough, fellas. I mean, all of the high-stakes drafts I do, like I have to set those on Sunday. So, essentially,
50:21I block out like an hour of time for the stream.
50:24That is my It's something I I've had to be uh more conscious of with the uh Patreon is It's something I've had
50:30conversations with, you know, the big dogs, like literally the big dog Nick uh Nick Ercolano of like something that I think I I lost sight of
50:37for a little bit is part of the Patreon is like, yes, you get my rankings and all the cool stuff, but you also get
50:41access to me.
50:42Um and it's really tough to scale of like, "Hey, I'm going to answer every question in the Discord or whatever."
50:47So, giving you guys unfiltered access on a live stream to me on the back end uh is one of the more valuable things I
50:53could offer on the Patreon. So, uh yeah, it's really only there that I can make time for it.
51:05I like Kadarius Toney. Do you like to see him a lot? Oh, yeah. You're moving Swift up? Uh I got Swift in a I got Swift in a
51:11I got Swift in a high spot for a guy like me who doesn't like the dead zone running back area. I got him like
51:18low 50s. I have him as like an early fifth.
51:22Weekly recaps, rookie report. Yeah, the rookie report video I'm I'm stoked about. The rookie wide receiver report, that's always very fun.
51:30Beyond the box score. Uh Jacob Gibbs is a monster.
51:35Now, you you would print out the rankings, people would then ask to use them. That's great.
51:46I'm fine with Reed for now. Not being out there in two wide receiver sets isn't great, but it was kind of my base
51:52assumption and I think when we talk about the sacrificial act, I think that that is where Matthew Golden is drifting towards. I would not use sacrificial act
51:59when it comes to Brian Thomas and Marvin Harrison, but we're talking about a year two receiver, hasn't proved he can produce yet, more of a vertical burner.
52:06That's what I would call Matthew Golden.
52:07So, I think that this team is going to play or is going to pass out of three wide receiver sets a lot with Jayden
52:11Reed on the field. So, I'm not super concerned uh just yet. Uh let's take Kyle Pitts here to fill out this lineup.
52:20The world that's a great that's a great point. That is the world famous rookie receiver report.
52:32I agree. Gibbs and Ryan Heath are awesome.
52:41Wide receivers are looking mid, but I mean that's kind of like uh you know, Our wide receivers look mid so that our
52:46quarterback is Josh Allen and our running backs are Cook and Walker.
52:49Uh but I think we draw I think we threw enough quantity at it in these high leverage rounds that receivers looking
52:53better for us now.
52:58I agree. I think they're going to pass the ball more in general. I'm very bullish on this Packers passing game. I
53:04think they're going to lean more into Jordan Love. I don't think they're going to want to run their offense through uh
53:10through Josh Jacobs anymore. I just can't see that being the case.
53:25Uh we're going to take Jordan Love here and I think just be done at quarterback.
53:28We have both the Packers receivers, so we really should take Love.
53:32Bang.
53:35DJ Moore or Burden? I'm personally Burden over DJ Moore, but they're both in like the same tier area for me.
53:42Yeah, we'll probably do the rookie RB report. Probably talk about all the rookies.
53:45>> [clears throat] >> That to me is like the most fun.
53:49That's what I'm saying. I think we're going to get I think we're going to get Packers higher tempo, more plays, more
53:53pass attempts.
53:56Why are we out on Jacobs? Old, a lot of touches, already has a groin injury that hurt him last year, and then he's also
54:04uh could get suspended.
54:07I think I think that the the I I will say though on the suspension thing, the more days with that go by that he's
54:13not suspended, the probability of him being suspended goes down.
54:19But I don't know. I'm just not super interested in him.
54:24I think they're going to dude, I think Now, don't get me wrong. It's a massive if. It's a massive if to say if Marshawn
54:30Lloyd can stay healthy, but if Lloyd stays healthy, I think that they genuinely are going to use him.
54:36Yeah, exactly. Like this is an offense La Fleur is always a super efficient play caller. Like their offense is also is always really good.
54:44And I just can't I I can't envision the engine of like their EPA. Like when we get to the nerdy stuff of EPA per play,
54:50I can't envision the engine of this like top 10 EPA per play offense coming from Josh Jacobs. I think it has to be Jordan
54:59Love. It has to be Christian Watson, Tucker Kraft, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden. I I I think it has to be.
55:07>> [clears throat] >> People hate on Jordan Love, but Jordan Love I think it's a stat that I always pull up. Um
55:17I think Jordan Love like uh leads I'm actually going to pull it up on the side here. I think he leads
55:22every quarterback ever in adjusted net yards per attempt. I think that that's genuinely a thing.
55:31Like career adjusted net yards per attempt, which is just like an uh efficiency stat.
55:39We'll do quarterbacks with like minimum 500 pass attempts.
55:50At a certain point, if you're going to be that efficient on a per attempt basis, let the guy throw the ball.
56:13I'll pull this up in a second. It wasn't the highest ever, but it's the highest ever is Brock Purdy. That's the stat
56:17that I always throw out for Brock Purdy.
56:20Uh let's see what comes back.
56:24I think we would like a uh There goes Chris Rodriguez.
56:31Any of the tight ends come back here?
56:34No, we would miss out on Kincaid.
56:37But we got Kyle Pitts though.
56:39Forgot about that. I've been doing a lot of yapping this draft.
56:47All right, let's do close to here.
56:50Here's the stat I was talking about though, fellas. Uh just net yards per attempt. It's Purdy, Autogram, Mahomes, Lamar, Rodgers.
56:57Peyton Manning, never heard of this bull.
57:00Uh Norm Van Brocklin.
57:02Drew Brees, Jordan Love, Tom Brady. To me, that's a pretty awesome list to be a part of. Drake Maye is in there, too. Uh
57:07on a per attempt basis, Jordan Love is really solid. That's all I was trying to show.
57:12Just a matter of like can we get his attempts up to like top 20?
57:22Amari Montgomery over TuTu.
57:24Trade target videos are decent.
57:41>> I'm taking Tank.
58:04Am I drafting any Steelers or Titans?
58:05Yes.
58:08But I'm starting to get spooked off of both.
58:11Um, I was drafting a lot of Uh, I mean, I've been drafting a lot of Metcalf and Michael Pittman, but it
58:15seems like Metcalf and Pittman are both hurt.
58:19Yeah, EPA, QBR, all of that. Jordan Love is an analytic darling.
58:29Do you ever keep tabs on the QB School videos? Oh, I love his stuff. In season in season, I'll throw his stuff on 2x
58:35and watch a lot of his like breakdowns.
58:39Especially the young quarterbacks. Like I remember I watched a good amount of Caleb Williams ones when Caleb was a rookie.
58:56Think Kyler Murray and Vikings make the playoffs? Yeah, I think that's in the range of outcomes. What do you think he
58:59pulled the trigger on Concepcion?
59:01Probably 10th round. Uh, this is a half PPR Best Ball Mania team over on Underdog. Uh, we started from the nine
59:07spot, half PPR Best Ball, three wide receiver, one flex. We got James Cook, Kenneth Walker, Tee Higgins, Josh Allen, Christian Watson, Brian Thomas, Jayden
59:14Reed, Jordan Addison, Kyle Pitts, Jordan Love, Khalil Shakir, and Tank Bigsby.
59:22Every time I draft Tank Bigsby, I think of the uh there's a really niche guy on Instagram There's 500 of you in here. I pray that
59:30at least one of you guys have seen the um How can I explain this? He's a little bit special is what I would say, but
59:37he's like this tank of a guy.
59:39Uh maybe his name is Frankie or something, but he just like lifts stupid heavy weights in the comfort of his own
59:45home, and he quietly re-racks them every time.
59:48Um and he'll put he'll do like 315 for eight, and he'll be like, "In the tank."
59:55"Get it up." And then he gets it up, eight reps, silently re-racks it, and that's it.
60:05Someone in here is going to have to confirm that I'm not going crazy.
60:14That was strong those like the Steelers.
60:17I'm with Malik Willis.
60:25If you haven't heard of that guy, do yourself a favor and find him. I don't know what to even tell you to find him,
60:29but do yourself a favor and find that guy.
60:37Let's do >> [sighs] >> Let's do Zonovan or actually Let's do Tyjae Spears.
60:51He seems to be getting so We have I have so much Tyjae Spears though, but he is getting steam right now after getting
60:56some some good work with uh with Pollard, so we'll take him there.
61:01We only need one more running back after that.
61:03Feel good. We don't need another quarterback. With Josh Allen and Jordan Love, we're fine there.
61:08You know that dude? Hell yeah. Hell yeah.
61:13I love it. He did Dude, he must have did like 225 for like 30 reps the other day.
61:19He's a tank.
61:22Brooks or Scat Bow? Uh Scat Bow for me.
61:25Yeah, it's literally in his grandma's house.
61:30The quietest re-rack of weights you've ever seen. And it'll be a stupid amount of weight.
61:37Uh Chase and Burrow works this year.
61:38Yeah.
61:41Cuz you're just betting like if Chase wins another triple crown, then Joe Burrow is going to throw for 40 touchdowns. It's kind of it is the
61:47thought process there.
61:53Let's do Green Bay, Buffalo, Miami, Houston.
62:03Uh so we have some Dalton Schultz correlation.
62:10Let's take McMillan.
62:13This is going to be a two a two five eight three.
62:21Two five eight three, I believe.
62:29People forget, I think it was 2024 that he was a league winner in the playoffs.
62:36Puka Bowers Breese, no you could absolutely do that.
62:39If all the second round running backs get wiped, I actually love that start.
62:42It's just a matter of probably taking one of like Montgomery Swift at that four five turn, and then I think you're probably set from there to
62:49be honest.
62:52Denzo Boston's right at the cliff at this point. Boston and Stribling are like you missed on the cliff, but they're both
63:00they're they're both guys where if you miss on the cliff, you can swing for upside with them, but I wouldn't consider them before the cliff.
63:07I think I'm Stribling over Boston, but I'd have to double check the rankings.
63:13Spears did deserve better, but I think that there's a There's a he could beat out Pollard.
63:18Zay Flowers is a sleeper this year worth drafting. He's 14th rounder right here.
63:24I'm Bijan over Allen at the two. I'm not taking Allen until the five in a superflex, I don't think.
63:32But it's close. You could talk me into taking him as high as as high as two, yeah.
63:39Cuz I don't know when the with the quarterbacks in the mix, I feel pretty good about going if I go Puka.
63:44I think I'm going to like a running back that comes back to me and then I'll play late round quarterback.
63:50That'd be my inclination.
63:54Can I get a shoutout for what's going on 2X Shay? You like it at the 106?
64:00I would have like my fourth ranked player is Puka, then McCaffrey, then JT.
64:06So one of those three.
64:17It's honestly crazy superflex like I was saying every superflex league is its own its own thing.
64:24Where like some of these are going to you know some leagues it's going to be Josh Allen up top and then maybe even a
64:28quarterback at two overall.
64:30Whereas others there might be not be Josh Allen taken until the fifth overall pick.
64:40Best backup running back in the league?
64:44Probably Trayveon Henderson.
65:08Damn, T-Ferg goes there.
65:12Let's do Hock and see what comes back.
65:17Braelon Allen, I could see that.
65:23You can get Lamb at the 1.11 then Jefferson at the 2.10, are you taking Jefferson or one of the RBs?
65:28Depends. It depends if it's full PPR and I can start four receivers at a time, I'm probably doubling up on the
65:33receivers there.
65:35But it's tough.
65:47Uh I moved Jordan Love I'm I mean I moved Jeremiah Love after Breece Hall and Trey McBride, but he's still like an
65:53early third for me. I can't really move him much further unless if we get some really negative news.
66:03But if you're more into floor than than ceiling, I could see moving him all the way down past Javonte and Kyren.
66:09I just can't do it personally.
66:14Bowers at the 2.03 in redraft, I think that that's absolutely fine.
66:33I'm taking Caleb Douglas here, I think.
66:35Actually, thing wants us to take Charbonnet.
66:44Fine, I'll take Charbonnet.
66:48You want me to pick 184 when his ADP is 159 and a half? It's fine by me. All right, so now we're done at running
66:52back.
66:54Now we just need receivers and tight ends here to finish it out.
67:01If I hunger can I try for six wide receivers before the wide receiver cliff or should it be build dependent? It
67:04should be build dependent. The plus one or two, honestly, if you want to take it a step further, something I'll probably
67:09explain in another video here soon, is the plus one or two is really plus one if you drafted your receiver your wide receiver in round one or two,
67:20and it's plus two if you drafted your first receiver in like round three or later, if that makes sense. Like if I
67:26have CeeDee Lamb up top, you don't have to do plus two.
67:34Superflex soon, probably next Sunday.
67:36Probably a week from today will or No, no, no. Probably next Monday. The we'll do August 24th, we'll do a superflex stream. We'll do
67:44a mock or two superflex on Sleeper and kind of get a feel for things.
67:51Uh I'm not crazy about RB RB RB, but if the value's there, the value's there.
68:04Yeah, I wouldn't call Kamara the best backup running back.
68:08I'd put Keaton Mitchell up there.
68:20I'd put I don't know. It depends on like who you consider a backup.
68:23>> [clears throat] >> I'd probably put I'd be tempted to put DeWayne McBride.
68:30DeWayne McBride and Tank Bigsby I like a lot.
68:43Uh Yeah, in the video I said it was neutral. It's still like it's not great, but I ended up moving him down only two
68:52spots. I I couldn't really move him down much further than that. I mean, maybe I'll think on it and, you know,
68:59read some more reports, but for now, Jeremiah Love it. him to my 27th ranked player.
69:06Uh so I essentially just moved Breece Hall ahead and Trey McBride ahead.
69:10But I don't know. Zamir Love is still a target for me in the third round, I think.
69:15Maybe I'll do some drafts and think a little bit differently. Like we'll see we'll see like ultimately I want to see
69:20how ADP adjusts over the next few days, but I mean we did two drafts tonight and Love hasn't fallen past I mean he went
69:25he went 210 in our first draft, he went 302 in our second draft.
69:32Bob Fagala and here your draft guide is amazing. Thank you, brother. Thank you.
69:35I appreciate it.
69:39Of course, anyone that has a draft coming up make sure you check it out.
69:41thebasementdraftguide.com Fully updated for all the news today.
69:47Everything you could possibly think of.
69:48ADP edge tool, sleeper league sync, all the above.
69:52thebasementdraftguide.com check it out.
69:56Uh let's make a pick here.
70:05Let's do probably Dulcich on this team.
70:08Yeah, we'll do Dulcich and a wide receiver.
70:14What was I going to say? But I was going to do the re-draft Patreon league. Uh yeah, I think he always loves doing that
70:19league. I'm glad that you guys are fine with him doing it, but yeah.
70:24Uh that's something else as well.
70:26Of course, if you join the Patreon you get my weekly rankings rest of season rankings.
70:31Dynasty stuff, start sit streams. Uh the draft guide for half off and then you also get entered into the lottery when we're
70:38going to draw names probably early September. I'll I'll put something out uh on the Patreon to do uh we do our the
70:45basement invitational. We do four different sleeper leagues. Half the pot goes to the overall winners, half the pot goes to the individual leagues.
70:52Uh and it's a really really fun format.
70:55Uh that's like super competitive and very similar to what high stakes is.
70:58It's like a a small field high stakes tournament uh, that is really fun to do.
71:05And my brother insists on always being in it.
71:11You'll be using the draft guide tomorrow. Hell yeah, dude.
71:16No, I like love for the ceiling. I was thinking floor is more your flavor, you can go Javonte or Kyren, but you can
71:21argue Jeremaih Love has a really high floor, too. Cuz every running back drafted where Jordan Jeremaih Love was drafted in the NFL draft uh,
71:30has been like a top 15 producer at running back.
71:36Uh, we're going to take a faller and Tesla here. Actually, no we're not.
71:39We're going to take Keaontay Ingram.
71:41Ingram's like a Ingram's like a low-key riser from the preseason, so take him here. 2583 is what we land on with this
71:50team. We went Josh Allen, Jordan Love, James Cook, Kenneth Walker, Tank Bigsby, Tyjae Spears, Zach Charbonnet, Tee Higgins, Christian Watson, Brian
72:00Thomas, Jayden Reed, Jordan Addison, Quentin Johnston, Jaylen McMillan, Keaontay Ingram, Kyle Pitts, T.J.
72:04Hockenson, and Greg Dulcich.
