Jaylen Warren

NegativeProjection5:31

The source has Warren on all rosters as a core RB strategy piece, ranking him as RB1 despite RB26-27 ADP; cites fifth-round draft capital, elite receiving ability (caught touchdown, looks like wide receiver), strong running ability, and lack of competition. Notes Charbonnet injury recovery uncertainty and potential committee risk, but believes Charbonnet won't be 100% coming back from knee tear and won't be benched after first-round draft capital.

Matthew Golden

PositiveBreakout7:04

The source calls Golden an intriguing boom-bust prospect available in round 10, citing first-round draft capital that went underutilized, electric postseason performance as second-target getter, and strong opportunity with Romeo Dobbs and Wicks gone. Notes Christian Watson's poor track record (can't finish season, under 800 yards), making Golden the clear second option in Green Bay.

Mike Washington Jr.

PositiveSleeper8:50

The source is hedging on Washington as a late-round stash against Gentie, banking that Washington pans out and Gentie does not; cites Washington's top running back prospect status, explosive athleticism, strong build, and goal-line usage potential. Notes Washington should have been a workhorse on any team other than the Raiders, and Raiders' prior committee talk suggests Washington will get meaningful work.

0:00Back at it here in North Carolina here. Happy Friday.
0:035 players I'm drafting on all my rosters this year for Fantasy Football 2026.
0:07This is a must listen episode here. And again, if you were watching yesterday, I've been traveling, heading down to South Florida.
0:13Today we are in North Carolina. Very nice hotel here.
0:15A lot of nice people, a lot of nice staff.
0:18So I got a video here for you. I want to get out a quick video because I did 4 drafts back in April.
0:25And I went through all those 4 drafts. High Stakes League, another High Stakes League, Dynasty League.
0:29And I want to give you guys 5 players I got across all those rosters so that you guys can have them.
0:35Okay? I'm excited to dive in. Again, if you're new to the channel, make sure you guys do subscribe.
0:40Hit the subscribe button. The only channel I'll give you guys is Fantasy Football Counselor.
0:44If you actually want to win your leagues, make sure you guys hit the subscribe button.
0:49And again, we're going to ramp this thing up as soon as I hit South Florida because for you guys who weren't
0:55listening yesterday, moving from Canada to South Florida. Major, major, major overhaul.
0:58Major change. So blessed to be able to do that.
1:01So subscribe to the channel. Hit the thumbs up and drop a player that you must have this year that's on all your rosters.
1:07If you've drafted already or you're considering drafting, who is a player that you can't leave your draft without?
1:13Drop it below. All right? So I want to talk about, you know, these players and how important they are because of the situation that they're in.
1:20Now, if you want the full roster, like how to draft every optimal player in each round, including some of the sleepers,
1:26make sure you guys do grab 16 rounds. I've linked it below.
1:29Do not draft without it. I'm extending a deal today.
1:32Use code LION to save. It's going to save you guys 25%.
1:35Grab 16 rounds right now. Use code LION. And you'll be like yours ahead of the sheep in your league.
1:41Right? Do that. And again, big announcement coming August 1st.
1:43And that's going to be huge. I'm going to, I can't even say anything about it right now, but August 1st, make sure you guys are glued.
1:51Turn on the bell. Cause I'm going to announce this.
1:54It's going to be awesome. Okay. So who are the five players that I got on all my rosters?
1:59The first one is, and again, if you guys listen to this channel regularly, you're going to know who these players are,
2:05but I want to elaborate on them. Okay. And stay to the end.
2:08Cause I got a major sleeper that I have on all my rosters that I just don't really talk about as much.
2:14I have, but I not as frequently. Right? So the first one that's on all my rosters, Yamika Egibuka.
2:19All right. Egibuka. Why do I love this guy?
2:22Again, we talked about it a hundred times opportunities there.
2:25No Mike Evans, elite talent. Tore it up early part of the season.
2:28Going to continue to tear it up. They didn't draft anybody else.
2:32Emika Egibuka has all the signs to be arguably the wide receiver one on in all fantasy this year.
2:37Yeah. I got him finishing ahead of Jamar Chase.
2:39That's crazy. That's why rankings don't work because there's so many players that can outperform other players.
2:44We see it every single year. Okay. Every single year we see one player outperforming another player that wasn't even expected.
2:50Right. And Justin Jefferson, like who would have thought that, you know, Ted McMillan could be better than Jefferson or say, you know, that's his example, right?
2:57There's so many players that are sleepers that just outperform the guys that are being drafted early.
3:02So Yamika Egibuka is a third round ADP. I mean, why wouldn't you grab a guy that we know with certainty is
3:08going to be the wide receiver one? I mean, I'm getting a wide receiver one.
3:12I don't have to spend a first second round pick on him.
3:15Now, mind you, I think by the end of August, I could imagine that Yamika is going to come off early second round.
3:21Like that's kind of where I figure he's going to come off, but still a value.
3:26He's already gone up four or five spots. He was like wide receiver 27.
3:29Now he's like wide receiver 20 or something like that.
3:32Like he continues to climb. And that's because of videos like this.
3:35And because that, you know, it's obvious. No, they didn't draft anybody else.
3:39So Yamika got to consider him, right? He's on all my rosters.
3:42I'm just rolling with them. Right. My rider die kind of player.
3:45All right. Number two. All right. All my rosters.
3:48And you might want to consider grabbing them because, you know, if you aren't drafted, drafting first or second, you're not getting
3:54Rybens by Jan, you're not getting Gibbs. You got to look at Omari Hampton at the three spot, even if you're drafting third overall.
4:01And the Mike McDaniel offense is going to be great.
4:03We saw what he did with Atchain. I think Hampton is better than Atchain.
4:07More talented. He was a higher draft capital guy than Atchain.
4:10I think he's in a better office than Atchain was.
4:13And I think Devin Atchain, we're talking bust. I think he's going to bust this year.
4:17I think they've got no offense this year. So Hampton's in such a great situation.
4:21Some people keep saying, I heard, I had, we're going to get Walter football on again.
4:26And he was on listening to other channels. I rarely listen to other channels, but I sometimes come across them.
4:31It's not about Keaton Mitchell being a threat to him.
4:34Like Keaton Mitchell sucks. Let's be honest. It's the Omari and Hampton show.
4:37And at the end of the day, man, like Mike McDaniel, great offense.
4:41The injuries passed him. I am all in on Omari and Hampton this year.
4:45Such a great offense. Improved O-line. Remember they were banged up last year.
4:48The right guard or left guard was a disaster.
4:51It was a disaster last year. The entire offense line was banged up.
4:54This year, they're going to be in better shape.
4:57And he's coming off, you know, that injury. It's nothing major.
5:00He'll be back. He'll be good to go. So Omari and Hampton is a must draft.
5:04Third overall. I actually, because I have him in all my rosters, I don't have any by Jan stock.
5:09Because I ended up drafting from the 11th spot.
5:12So I'm going to say a little bias here that Omari and Hampton will beat both Gibbs and Robinson in fantasy points.
5:18That's how much I believe in this guy. And barring any injury, like I don't see any reason why I shouldn't crush it.
5:24Okay. Got him on all my rosters. So Mika, Omari and all my rosters.
5:28Right now, we're going to get to some sleepers here in a moment.
5:31The third guy got on all my rosters. A bit of a sleeper at his position, like RB 26, 27, which is crazy, is Jadarian Price.
5:39Now, I just saw a video of Jadarian Price catching a touchdown.
5:42Like he looked like a wide receiver. So he can catch really well.
5:45He can run really well. And there's nobody else there.
5:48Now, I am hearing news that Charbonnet is going to come back earlier than expected, like he should be good to go.
5:54But I won't see it till I believe it.
5:57Now, there could be some sort of committee situation if Charbonnet comes back, because we know the Seahawks have done that before, which could be annoying.
6:04But I just don't think that Charbonnet is going to be 100% coming up.
6:07It takes a couple of years off that knee tear for these guys to come back to 100%.
6:12Right? We even saw guys like Brees Hall, a year removed from his surgery just was not 100%.
6:17I mean, everybody's different. Right? But I mean, you don't just draft a running back in round one to bench him.
6:23Like, I just don't see that. So sign me up, Jadarian Price.
6:26I just like the fifth round draft capital. Now I've got a core RB strategy that I do and I implement.
6:32So make sure you guys do grab the 16 round drafts because I can explain that for you.
6:37And Jadarian Price is one of those guys I include typically in my core four, core three in the early from the earlier rounds.
6:43Right? I think you need that base solid foundation and I'm aiming higher on the depth chart to get Jadarian Price.
6:49He's a RB1. Right? So all my roster, Jadarian Price, sign me up.
6:53Okay. The last two are, um, I would say sleepers and you know, one of them I've talked about, the last guy
6:59I've talked about in a couple of videos and we're going to get to who he is at the end.
7:04He's intriguing. He's really interesting. But, um, but the number four is Matthew golden.
7:08I, again, this is kind of like a boom bust thing.
7:11It's like, I get them in like round 10, give or take, depending on your league.
7:15It's just so intriguing that he's a first round pick didn't get utilized and finally came alive as a second target target
7:21getter in the post-season game and their post-season game last year.
7:24I just keep looking at that game and how electric he looked and how exciting he looks.
7:29And it's just so appealing to me knowing that Romeo Dobbs and, and Wicks are gone.
7:33And Dobbs was the number one targetter in that post-season game, just be, just ahead of, of Matthew golden.
7:39So Matthew golden is just an intriguing, intriguing prospect from a talent perspective, from an opportunity perspective, from a depth chart perspective.
7:45I understand they play Christian Watson, but I keep talking about how bad Christian Watson is, how bad he sucks and how
7:51he can't finish a season or crack 800 yards to save his life.
7:54So Watson's going to get hurt. And even if he doesn't get hurt, he's just not that good.
7:59And then you've got, who else you got there?
8:02No one else. Matthew golden. Yeah. Reed, but reads not a true one.
8:05Right? So Matthew golden, I mean, just, just a big time steal.
8:08All right. Make sure you guys target them. Right.
8:11The last one again, make sure before I get to this sleeper, make sure you guys do grab 16 rounds, uh, the
8:17all access war room linked up below is a Patreon group, right?
8:20Deliver starts sits, waiver wires, draft tips, inside information.
8:23Make sure you guys do join Patreon. I will be announcing the big announcement, August 1st, there first before I tell anybody else.
8:29So that's kind of like my inside group. So make sure you guys join there.
8:33It's one room, one, one tier. You guys can join linked up below.
8:36Um, yeah, dude, I'm excited about this. It's going to be wild.
8:40So yeah, I got so much going on in that, in that, in that all access war room.
8:45We got to join amazing community to amazing people.
8:47It's phenomenal. Um, and the last one though is, uh, Mike Washington.
8:50I know on paper, it doesn't look good because it's like, you got Gentie and Gentie from what I'm hearing.
8:56I just was reading a report, how good he looks and how he just cut sugar to even optimize his performance.
9:02And he's such a great talent and I get it.
9:04I love Gentie. There's nothing against him, but I'm going to hedge my bets here and pass on Gentie in the first
9:10round and go on Mario and Hampton and then get Mike Washington banking that he pans out and Gentie does not.
9:16So again, I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm not banking on necessarily a Gentie injury, but if it happens, I
9:22get a, I get an RB one in Mike Washington who was a top running back prospect as NFL draft ultra big and very explosive off the line.
9:30He's a strong dude, man. And he's going to get some work this year.
9:34Don't be disappointed when Mike Washington is going to be a beast around that goal line.
9:38I'm telling you, man, they're going to use Mike Washington.
9:41It's just a, you're going to see, I could be wrong, but for a late round stash, why not just take a
9:47risk on a guy that should have been a workhorse running back on any team if it wasn't on the Raiders and
9:53the Raiders talked about bringing in somebody that's going to be in a committee with Gentie prior to them actually drafting Mike Washington.
9:59So Raiders hat representing some Mike Washington stock there, but this is not my entire team.
10:03This is just five guys that I got on all my rosters, my ride or die guys.
10:08But if you guys want the full roster, make sure you guys do grab the 16 round draft solution.
10:13I got some big things coming up. DM me the word draft.
10:16If you stay this long, you're definitely dedicated in the video and you, and you love fantasy and you love this channel.
10:22So hit the subscribe button, hit the thumbs up on your way out.
10:26Take a second, get 16 rounds because you can't draft without it.
10:29And of course, guys DM me the word draft.
10:32I got some big things you could draft with me on the YouTube channel.
10:36We're going live starting in August. So subscribe, thumbs up.
10:38Got to get back to it. We've got a couple more days of driving.
10:42We're spacing it out because we got kids. So I was doing it over four days, believe it or not.
10:48It's been crazy. We're like six hour days, five to six hour days.
10:51Last day is going to be like more of a three to four hour day.
10:55So yeah, man, it's going to be exciting. South Florida, here we come.
10:59Lion mentality. I'll see you in the next video tomorrow.
11:01I'm out.
