Player analysis
Player insights
Aaron Jones
NegativeValue2:00
The source is cooling on Aaron Jones relative to previous rankings, leading to a choice between him and Jake Ferguson for a roster spot.
Insight pageAlec Pierce
PositiveInjury0:00
Alec Pierce returned to practice after missing most of training camp due to ankle surgery and is on track to play in Week 1.
Insight pageBlake Corum
PositiveValue4:00
The source prefers Blake Corum over Alec Pierce when considering a potential trade, indicating higher confidence in Corum's value.
Insight pageBrian Robinson
NegativeValue8:00
The source considers a $50 auction price for Brian Robinson to be a 'foul' or a poor value, implying he is being over-drafted in that format.
Insight pageChris Godwin
PositiveProjection7:00
The source is trending toward the belief that Chris Godwin will serve as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' wide receiver one for the entire season.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
PositiveValue12:00
The source states they cannot conceive of a reason to be out on Christian McCaffrey in a 10-team league, arguing that the replacement cost is lower than in 12-team formats.
Insight pageChuba Hubbard
PositiveUsage0:00
Chuba Hubbard has returned to full practice, making him a value pick while Jonathan Brooks deals with injury concerns.
Insight pageCourtland Sutton
NegativeProjection5:00
The source disagrees with their own quantitative projection that assigns Cortland Sutton the same number of targets as Jalen Waddle, stating it would be legitimately surprising if they saw equal volume.
Insight pageJake Ferguson
PositiveValue2:00
The source prefers drafting Jake Ferguson over Aaron Jones to complete a three-player stack.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
PositiveProjection9:10
The source is very bullish on Jalen Waddle, noting that his efficiency metrics when Tyreek Hill is off the field rank him among the top 10 most efficient players in fantasy football.
Insight pageJonathon Brooks
NegativeInjury0:00
Jonathan Brooks was observed working off to the side without pads or a helmet, which the source notes causes pause for drafting him in the sixth round.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
NegativeRole0:00
Packers GM Brian Gutkunst indicated the team does not intend to release Josh Jacobs, despite his placement on the commissioner's exempt list.
Insight pageNegativeProjection2:00
The source expresses concern about Josh Jacobs, citing his age (28), recent PCL injury, and declining efficiency metrics, noting he has never been a fantasy points over expectation player.
Insight pageJustin Herbert
NegativeProjection5:45
The source is skeptical of Justin Herbert's fantasy ceiling, noting he hasn't finished as a top-10 fantasy QB since 2021, hasn't exceeded 18 points per game since 2021, and hasn't thrown for 4,000 yards since 2022.
Insight pageKeenan Allen
NegativeProjection12:00
The source expresses skepticism regarding Keenan Allen's fantasy relevance, suggesting he is not a significant factor when evaluating other receivers like Josh Downs.
Insight pageKyren Williams
PositiveUsage11:00
The source maintains that Kyren Williams is the clear lead back for the Rams, noting he dominates goal-line work and passing-game usage despite the presence of Blake Corum.
Insight pageLuke Musgrave
NegativeInjury0:00
Packers GM Brian Gutkunst expects Luke Musgrave to play at some point in 2026, suggesting a long-term recovery from his neck injury.
Insight pageMalik Davis
NegativeBust7:30
The source describes Malik Davis as a replaceable player with no redeeming qualities who is unlikely to generate league-winning statistics.
Insight pageMalik Nabers
NegativeValue3:00
The source is not worried about Malik Nabers' injury status, asserting that any downside risk is already baked into his current ADP at the 2/3 turn.
Insight pageMarShawn Lloyd
NegativeRole3:00
The source notes that Marshawn Lloyd could easily end up with zero production, making him a risky pick in certain roster constructions.
Insight pageNegativeInjury5:00
The source expresses concern regarding Marshawn Lloyd's durability, noting he has been injured every time he has played an NFL game. Despite this, the source believes Lloyd is likely to outscore Jonathan Brooks this year due to being on a superior offense.
Insight pageMatthew Golden
PositiveBreakout3:00
The source believes Matthew Golden is going to break out regardless of external circumstances.
Insight pageMike Evans
NegativeBust3:00
The source is worried about Mike Evans due to him being listed with four different injuries this offseason, though he notes Evans is more viable in redraft formats.
Insight pageNajee Harris
NegativeProjection5:25
The source projects Najee Harris for a disappointing 600 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, characterizing his role as a reanimated corpse.
Insight pageOdell Beckham
NegativeBust5:00
The source dismisses Odell Beckham Jr. as a viable option for the Giants' WR2 role, noting he has not been productive since his ACL injury several years ago.
Insight pageParker Washington
PositiveBreakout6:00
The source has shifted from being on the fence to actively targeting Parker Washington in drafts, viewing him as a significant breakout candidate.
Insight pageRJ Harvey
PositiveBreakout2:00
The source is warming up to RJ Harvey as a late-round riser, noting his favorable range of outcomes.
Insight pageTank Dell
NegativeInjury0:00
The source is skeptical of Tank Dell's readiness, noting that his delay is now described as mental confidence rather than physical, which the source views as a negative sign.
Insight pageTerrance Ferguson
PositiveSleeper11:00
The source highlights Terrence Ferguson as a sleeper, noting his projected 73 targets and criticizing the fact that his ADP has risen on platforms like ESPN, which has ruined his value.
Insight pageTucker Kraft
NegativeProjection0:00
The source is underweight on Tucker Kraft, arguing that his high yards-after-catch per reception is unsustainable and an outlier compared to non-running backs.

0:00This episode is brought to you by Google Chrome.
0:00You think you know a browser, but Gemini and Chrome?
0:00That's new. They can help you with practically anything on the web.
0:00Like restoring a vintage motorcycle from a 50-page restoration block or finally break down that long article you've had open for weeks.
0:00Gemini and Chrome is here for it. Ready to make anything online make sense?
0:00There's no place like Chrome. Check responses set up required compatibility and availability varies 18 plus.
0:00All right, drafting in a best ball may be a draft on underdog fantasy $25 to enter $2 million to first place.
0:00We are drafting out of the 11 slot in this one, which means there is honestly, it's going to be a nice
0:00little start for us here in general. Of course, we got news and notes to cover right before I went on air.
0:00I did see that one Mr. Jonathan Brooks is off to the side today.
0:00Well, Chuba Hubbard returned to practice. Isn't that just exactly about what you would expect in fantasy football?
0:00Jonathan Brooks, not in pads, doesn't have a helmet on working off to the side.
0:00Meanwhile, Chuba Hubbard fully back and ready to go.
0:00I guess it is just, you know, a leopard can't change.
0:00Leopard can't change its spots. You know, that's just the way it goes.
0:00I don't think this is anything major, but it does cause a little bit of pause for taking Jonathan Brooks in the
0:00sixth round and letting Chuba Hubbard fall to a completely insane price.
0:00By the way, Ja'Marr Chase ahead of Bijan Robinson in this one.
0:00Have not seen that happen too many times yet here in fantasy football.
0:00All relatively interesting stuff there. GM GM to my good friend, Mr.
0:00Zoof, who will feature in a video, by the way, over on the Matic Fantasy Football channel that is going to be debuting this Friday.
0:00Just sent a bunch of clips over to the editor.
0:00So if you guys are looking forward to that, we are about to be up here at the 1.11.
0:00Amon Ross St. Brown is still on the board.
0:00Jonathan Taylor went at seven. James Cook went at eight.
0:00Saquon Barkley went at nine. Dang. Dang. All right.
0:00So we do get snapped off there. We are going to take CeeDee Lamb and then hopefully we are going to have
0:00the opportunity to take Kenneth Walker, though I would be fine taking Chase Brown.
0:00I would also be fine taking Amarian Hampton at one of these picks.
0:00Jefferson goes. Come on, bro. All right. Well, hey, Chase Brown, a CeeDee Lamb, Chase Brown start.
0:00That honestly can't be that common. Let's check the flock fantasy combination tool.
0:00I have that 26 times in 2,365 drafts, and that is a 0.9% combo.
0:00So certainly not all that likely. All right. Well, player news.
0:00Tyler Warren with his groin injury practice today. So that is good news if you have been drafting one Mr.
0:00Tyler Warren. Also, Alec Pierce returned to practice today.
0:00Alec Pierce has missed most of training camp while we're coming from offseason ankle surgery.
0:00However, he does appear on track to suit up in week one.
0:00The Raiders returned to practice today. Ashen Gentry was not seen at practice.
0:00He remains sidelined ahead of the Raiders week one matchup against the Dolphins.
0:00We still have no clarification on what his actual injury is.
0:00It's a bit of a bummer. I would really like for Clint Kubiak to say it's a low ankle sprain.
0:00It's a high ankle sprain. It's not an ankle sprain at all.
0:00He fractured it. I would just really like that information.
0:00Packers general manager Brian Gutkunst said he expected Luke Musgrave with his neck injury to play at some point in 2026.
0:00That's actually a little bit more relevant than you might think.
0:00And the reason why it's a little bit more relevant than you might think is that the Packers, generally speaking, have been
0:00a little bit ahead of the 12 personnel revolution.
0:00They played guys like Ben Sims and what? John Fitzpatrick, something Matt, not Matt Fitzpatrick, some Fitzpatrick guy.
0:00So we'll see if that ends up happening. Now, this I thought was pretty interesting.
0:00So an athletic article came out that Packers general manager Brian Gutkunst said he did expect Josh Jacobs to play for the team in 2026.
0:00Asked if there's a scenario in which the Packers released Jacobs.
0:00Gut says he wants to let the process plays out.
0:00That is from the athletics. Matt Schneidman. Jacobs is on the commissioner's exemplus.
0:00I just I think that is pretty interesting to say that they are not going to release Josh Jacobs in any way, shape or form.
0:00Jeremiah Love, the NFL Network's Mike Garofalo reported Jeremiah Love is about 50-50 to play in week one against the Chargers.
0:00It's not exactly what you want to hear if you have a big Jeremiah Love position.
0:00This one I thought was pretty big. Malik Neighbors was noncommittal about his week one status.
0:00This neighbors told reporters Monday that he still needed to clear a few checkpoints before being ready to suit up for the season opener.
0:00Quote, will it take some time? Who knows? But I know for sure if I'm out there, I'm going to run some routes.
0:00ESPN's Jordan Renan said the expectation is neighbors will be playing barring some form of setback.
0:00You know, we'll see. We will we will see what is going on there with one.
0:00Mr. Malik Neighbors. Jaden Blue did sign to the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad.
0:00I don't really think that means much of anything.
0:00Because Jaden Blue is probably not better in the Eagles system than Will Shipley is.
0:00So if you had Jaden Blue bags, you basically want him to be frankly at this point, you would probably prefer Jaden
0:00Blue to be waived from the Eagles and sign with a team that has a more obvious need or running back.
0:00Please, ESPN Nate, do not. Oh, actually, I don't care about the difference.
0:01I was going to say, don't take Brie Saul, but I do not care about the difference between Javante Williams and Brie Saul really all that much.
0:01And I actually like the CeeDee Lamb-Javante Williams pairing just fine.
0:01Can I fill in other drafters 250 today? Well, I hope so.
0:01Let's go ahead and plan on doing that. And now we will take...
0:01Actually, we're going to take Luther Burden. I was going to take Garrett Wilson, but you know what?
0:01It's time. It's be a man season. It's best ball mania.
0:01Let's draft Luther Burden at 38. Yes. Let's say the plan is after this draft.
0:01Let's say our plan is to do a drafters 250.
0:01So if you are watching or listening to the stream right now, I need you to go to drafters.com.
0:01I need you to create an account using code Davis, and I need you to sign up and go join the 250 over there.
0:01I will put the link to sign up on drafters in the chat, and let's plan on doing a drafters 250.
0:01In fact, when we get to about pick eight...
0:01Actually, you know what? I'll just go register right now.
0:01So we need... How many? We need 10 more for the drafters 250.
0:01So sign up on drafters using code Davis. If you already have an account on drafters, you can sign up or you
0:01can get a redeposit bonus using code Davis 10, and you can sign up over there.
0:01But let's go ahead and fill a drafters 250.
0:01Have I had my home league draft yet? Yes.
0:01Yes, I have. And I have some very bad news for myself, which is that our draft was the second weekend in
0:01August, maybe the first weekend in August. It was before we knew that Josh Jacobs had the charges, and you are looking
0:01at the idiot Josh Jacobs drafter in his home league.
0:01I am indeed the idiot Josh Jacobs drafter in my home league.
0:01You frankly... You really do hate to see it.
0:01Of all the things you hate to see, you hate to see yourself falling for Josh Jacobs in the home league.
0:01Do we have any more player notes? Charger... Well, Keith Mitchell did not practice yesterday, and I got dunked on by a
0:01Chargers beat writer yesterday because I said, why did all the Chargers beats say that Keith Mitchell was going on IR?
0:01And then the Chargers beat writer replied and said, no one on the Chargers beat said this because I'm a Chargers beat writer and we didn't say this.
0:01And it was... It was a bunch of Chargers podcasters who were saying it.
0:01So I guess I got duped by a bunch of Chargers podcasters who were saying that Keith Mitchell will be doing that.
0:01How high would you be taking these newly confirmed running back twos?
0:01Woody Johnson, Kalen Black. Well, boy do I have some news for you, Pilgrim Theory.
0:01You really could not have asked a better person about this than me because if you go to the Matic Fantasy Football
0:01channel, I have an entire video about those guys.
0:01Emma Johnson's in there. Kalen Black is in there.
0:01Beat the Jabronis with these sleeper running backs is over on the Matic Fantasy Football channel.
0:01I will still be drafting in Best Ball Mania when you get back.
0:01I think it's like a 17-minute video. So you can go over and go watch that on the Matic Fantasy Football channel
0:01right now if you are so inclined. How does my draft strategy change with a 10-team only starting 7?
0:01If you do not take Brock Bowers in your 10-team league that starts 7, you are going to lose.
0:01Oh, frick, man. All right, well, I will take Jadarian Price.
0:01I was really hoping that Byshell Tootin was going to fall to me there.
0:01That's about the latest I have seen Byshell Tootin go in fantasy football in quite some time.
0:01Yeah, you know what? I'm thinking probably tomorrow, Patrick, I'm going to do my preseason waiver wire video.
0:01So if you're interested in that, that will be happening.
0:01I'm going to take Rome Dunze and I'm going to do the double stack if Rome Dunze doesn't go.
0:01He doesn't. All right, there we go. I've got to have these guys together like not at all.
0:01How many times do we think I have Luther Burden and Roma Dunze together?
0:01Got to be like truly hardly at all. 13 times on 2,365 teams.
0:01Not that many. You should in a 10-team league be able to get Bowers in round two, I would think.
0:01But I just I can't imagine being in a 10-team start seven league and having to start Tyler Warren or having to start Juwan Johnson.
0:01Imagine having to start Juwan Johnson in a 10-team league.
0:01You'd be so bummed out, dude. You'd be like all my plans.
0:01All my plans went awry. So CeeDee Lamb, Chase Brown, Javante Williams, Luther Burden, Janarian Price, Roma Dunze.
0:01The Loveland drafter takes Drake May, which means I should have a strong chance of getting what I should be able to get.
0:01Dak in this league potentially or Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams at 83 would be quite nice.
0:01It's true. Juwan Johnson did win Sam BBM last year.
0:01He's been on three BBM winners. I believe. Had my redraft last night, started JSN, Gentie, and got Bowers in round three.
0:01That's what we call the money printing factory. We got a report from Zach Blatt, Geno Smith's most targeted receivers from Observe Team Drills.
0:0142 targets for Garrett Wilson. 27 targets for Adnay Mitchell.
0:0119 targets for Mason Taylor. 19 targets for Isaiah Williams.
0:01And 15 targets for Omar Cooper Jr. Only eight catches in observed team drills for Omar Cooper Jr.
0:01Still drafting Omar Cooper Jr. because he is a very cheap first-round wide receiver.
0:01You know what? I actually have to post that in the ship chasing chat.
0:01Someone calc the targets per route run. I was considering dipping my toes into doing an FFPC managed league, but I'm a hard time getting over the rake.
0:01I guess I should just treat it the same as a baseball rake.
0:01So here's the deal, Chris, about the FFPC rake.
0:01It's very fake. Because so many of the participants in the FFPC are using tickets from the year prior that the actual
0:01amount of rake generated, the actual amount in the prize pool is much lower than you would think.
0:01Keep HN and Bowers in a 10-team keeper. Still ended up with CMC Neighbors and Nico.
0:01Look, man, if you are watching the Matic Fantasy Football Redraft channel videos and you do not win your league, I don't
0:01know what's wrong with you because I am absolutely churning out insanely good content on there every single day.
0:01And people are so bad at Redraft Fantasy Football that all you have to do is watch my videos.
0:01You don't even, I mean, if you really want to win, you'll subscribe to flockfantasy.com and the season pass for $34.
0:01But you could seriously go into your draft with a screenshot of one of the rankings videos I did on the Matic
0:01Fantasy Football video and pretty much win your league.
0:01It's really that easy. Justin Herbert at 73 with QJ.
0:01What was my win percentage last year? In season-long, it was like infinity.
0:01It was like one of the best season-long years of my career.
0:01Best ball was awful, though. I mean, best ball is just hard to win.
0:01I disagree. I think FFPC is still pretty soft.
0:01I think most people are still pretty bad at FFPC, honestly.
0:01I think it's too hard for people to be good at some of the things that FFPC requires you to do.
0:01People are just not great at it. All right, two picks away, and Caleb and Dak are still there.
0:01Caleb goes, all right, so we do get Dakota Rain Prescott.
0:01Why did that guy take Caleb Williams? He doesn't even—he has no stack.
0:01Why did that guy do that? That was a huge mistake.
0:01All right, well, whatever. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
0:01Now, the question is, do we want to take Marshawn Lloyd?
0:01Okay, well, never mind. We do not have the option to take Marshawn Lloyd.
0:01I'd like a non-week 10 bye receiver. We are going to take Michael Wilson.
0:01A little bit off the board there, but I want to expand my Jacquard tree.
0:01I want to give myself a chance to take Jacoby Brissett as my backup quarterback.
0:01And I just kind of like—I've kind of come around on Michael Wilson this offseason a little bit.
0:01Thoughts on Ashton Gentry? Well, I wish that Clint Kubiak would tell us what's wrong with Ashton Gentry, but I do think
0:01that he is—you know, I just think he's a pretty good value right now.
0:01Like, if I had the Jonathan Taylor team, if I had the—I'm taking Ashton Gentry over Derek Henry.
0:01I think I have Ashton Gentry in my redraft stuff ranked at 16.
0:01Now, it's true. It is Xavier and Thomas season.
0:01That much I think that we can all agree on.
0:01It's never been more Xavier and Thomas season. I'm going to tweet this right now.
0:01Streaming a drafters 250 starting when it fills. Come and join us and get a 100% and get a nice little deposit bonus using code DAVIS.
0:01Bang. Done. In there. At what price am I out on Lloyd?
0:01I am out on Lloyd if he is more expensive than the two Patriots running backs.
0:01I don't think Tank Dell is close to being ready.
0:01I would guess, in fact, Tank Dell is probably not that close to being ready.
0:01Tank Dell got placed on the—I just—I don't know if I believe that Tank Dell is closer to returning now than he
0:01was during training camp, because why would that be true?
0:01Someone explain to me why that would be true.
0:01He has not played football in two years. Why would he feel better now than he would have felt three months ago, six months ago?
0:01What would change for him in the course of August to October to make Tank Dell be more likely or less likely?
0:01I mean, why would he be more likely to play football?
0:01Either he's recovered from his injury or he's not.
0:01Why—I just don't—I just—it just doesn't make a ton of sense to me.
0:01Tank Dell has been in the league for three years and has had two catastrophic injuries.
0:01Yeah, I mean, he's also just a very small young man as a fellow small man.
0:01It's just kind of the way she goes. All right, we are about to be back up in two picks.
0:01We have Dak Prescott, Chase Brown, Javonte Williams, Jadarian Price, CeeD Lamb, Luther Burden, and Michael Wilson.
0:01I actually am going to take Chuba Hubbard if he gets here.
0:01Chuba Hubbard is a good pick on this style of teams.
0:01Get a little bit of ADP value there. I would also happily take Kyle Pitts here.
0:01I would happily take Concepcion here. That's probably about it in terms of happily taking at this point.
0:01Did I see how many games my quantitative—no, but we can go check that immediately after I make these picks here.
0:01All right, Concepcion and Pitts go. So the question is, do we want Fannin or do I want George Kittle?
0:01You know what? I want George Kittle. Kittle is a guy that my bags are feeling a smidgen light on given that he is practicing.
0:01He's not going to play week one, and this is probably going to be a three-quarterback team.
0:01All right, we are going to check what my quantitative has for the Green Bay Packers.
0:01Updated projections for the 2026 Green Bay Packers from Mike Clay.
0:0111 games for Josh Jacobs. So let's see, 164 divided by 11.
0:01He has got him for 14.9 PPR points per game.
0:01He has Marshawn Lloyd for 135 points. So 135 divided by 17, 7.9 points per game.
0:01Obviously, some of those would-be starts. 145 rushes, 625 yards, 5 tuds, 27 targets.
0:01He also has Chris Brooks ahead of Caleb Johnson.
0:01I'm going to go ahead and respectfully disagree with my quantitative.
0:01He does also have Matthew Golden for a team lead, 107 targets, 68 receptions, 887 yards, and 5 touchdowns.
0:01We are proudly supported by Nathan & Sons, makers of underbrush remineralizing gum.
0:01The Nathan & Sons folks sent me some of this gum.
0:01And when you taste it, it's like, oh, this is what real flavor tastes like.
0:01It just didn't feel fake. It had a texture and a taste of what real gum should be.
0:01Because I've tried other natural gums, and the flavor does not pop like it does with Nathan & Sons, and the flavor doesn't last.
0:01My favorite flavor is cinemastic. I also feel like my jaw's in better shape.
0:01Not doing as much clenching with my teeth. And what's funny is it's made with hydroxyapatite, the same mineral your tooth enamel is made from.
0:01And the best part is the chewing gum that helps take care of your teeth in between brushing.
0:01And critically, there is no plastic in this gum.
0:01It's made from natural tree sap, and if you want a simple daily upgrade for your teeth, head over to NathanAndSons.com and check out Underbrush.

0:01This episode is brought to you by Google Chrome.
0:01You think you know a browser, but Gemini and Chrome?
0:01That's new. It can help you with practically anything on the web, like restoring a vintage motorcycle from a 50-page restoration block,
0:01or finally break down that long article you've had open for weeks.
0:01Gemini and Chrome is here for it. Ready to make anything online make sense?
0:01There's no place like Chrome. Check responses set up required.
0:01Compatibility and availability varies 18+. Yes, Brooks already on the side field.
0:01Saw this on Twitter. Nick Casario says Tank Dell is close.
0:02Says his delay is less physical than it is making sure he's mentally confident in his ability.
0:02To me, that seems worse. My opinion would be that seems worse.
0:02That he mentally is having a hard time getting ready to play football right now.
0:02Because Howard, like the only way Tank Dell is going to mentally feel better is if he gets tackled.
0:02You know, if my Tank Dell bags get there, they get there.
0:02But he's like, I mean, it's a guaranteed zero for four games.
0:02Lloyd is a bad pick at 75 or whatever if Jacobs only gets suspended.
0:02I don't think so. I think he's probably still fine because six games of being a starting wide receiver is pretty valuable.
0:02Or starting running back is pretty valuable. Why did I see Pierre Strong hype on the timeline this morning?
0:02Where is... I don't even know what team... Is Pierre Strong on the Packers?
0:02Pierre Strong is on the Green Bay Packers. Yeah.
0:02Give me Caleb Johnson over Pierre Strong, personally. What are my thoughts on Kraft?
0:02Seems like there are a lot of things going against him.
0:02I mean, I'm underweight on Kraft. I have no strong opinions on how good or how bad Tucker Kraft is.
0:02I do think the way that he has historically scored fantasy points has been a relatively unsustainable way of doing so.
0:02Because if you look at... I showed this to Mr.
0:02Squares, who made his debut on stat chasing, by the way.
0:02So we go seasons. We go receiving. We do...
0:02Where's the advanced receiving? Here you go. Advanced receiving yards after catch per reception.
0:02It's running back, running back, Tucker Kraft. Running back, running back, running back, running back, running back, running back, running back.
0:02You have to get all the way to Rashi Rice at 20 to find another non-running back in terms of the yards after catch per reception.
0:02And I have a hard time thinking that that is sustainable for Tucker Kraft.
0:02Of course, I could be wrong. I've been wrong about many things.
0:02I'll be wrong about many things in the future.
0:02But that is... It's relatively... It's relatively tough. Okay.
0:02We are about to be back up. Debo is okay here.
0:02Shahid... You know what? It just feels like a Shahid team.
0:02It was just a little bit light on Shahid.
0:02Why not? Why not a little over Shahid? Shahid.
0:02People have been saying I'm down on him. And I am kind of down on him relative to where I've been at him not that long ago.
0:02Woody Marks goes, do I want to take Aaron Jones or do I want to take Jake Ferguson?
0:02I want to take Jake Ferguson to add on to my stack because I'm going to take three.
0:02And there's a running back I want to take a little bit later.
0:02Corey touting Dell is his most trapped. Hey, do not say a bad word about my guys Corey, about my guys Danny,
0:02about my guys Nathan, about my guy Avery, about my guy Sal, about my guy Rome, Zupa, Mason.
0:02Do not disrespect my goats. Honestly, Joey, this is what it is.
0:02I've had a change of hearts about how I dress on stream.
0:02Because I got a comment yesterday on one of the Matic redraft channel videos that said, what did it say?
0:02It said, you should stay dressing nice. It is easier for me to take someone seriously giving their fantasy football advice when they're dressed up.
0:02So I think that's going to be the move.
0:02And you know what? It's good for me too.
0:02Because obviously I work from home. I'm in my basement right now.
0:02Some days, you know, I mean, I guess I am still in my gym shorts right now.
0:02But you know, some days I don't ever put real clothes on.
0:02You know, I wake up at 4.30 in the morning.
0:02I go to the gym. A lot of times I will toss whatever t-shirt I wear to the gym off and then put a new shirt on.
0:02You know. It's nice. It's nice. Look good. Feel good.
0:02Draft good. How did you think Jaxie did? How did I think my guy Jinxie did drafting in the five spot?
0:02Well, I hope he did pretty good because I was the one on the call with him talking about fantasy football with him.
0:02So I hope my dude Jinxie drafted pretty good and I hope he wins the league.
0:02All right. Chris disagrees. He wants me to put a soccer jersey back on.
0:02Wow. What a throw, Ryan. Are you related to Zwayback?
0:02You could be his twin. You know, I love Zwayback.
0:02I love like that. Oh, when I was when I and I used to play a lot of I used to play a lot of FIFA ultimate team.
0:02Zwayback was my favorite. I loved the foot accountant and I liked Nick run the foot market.
0:02I like both those guys. But Zwayback was my goat.
0:02I love that dude. If someone calls himself an expert, it's fair to call them out for bad takes.
0:02Yes. But I need you to respect my dude, Corey.
0:02I demand respect for Corey and Danny. Demand it.
0:02Okay. Okay. Spoiler alert. We are not taking Mike Washington.
0:02We are taking Emmitt Johnson, who is the most important man in the world for me right now.
0:02And the question now becomes, what am I going to do at second quarterback?
0:02Or do I end up taking three? Okay. So I could take Rogers, who should last to my next pick.
0:02You know what? I'm just going to take Rogers now because I'm kind of panicking and I don't really know what to do.
0:02That was a panic pick right there. But I just, I don't, I like, that was, okay.
0:02I panicked. I panicked. Oh God. All right. That was a, that was a, that was a mistake.
0:02I should not have done that. I should have taken literally anyone else.
0:02I should have taken a wide receiver right there.
0:02Okay. Hey, well, you know, it happens to the best of us.
0:02Why not? Why not Bryce? I don't like any of Bryce's late pass catching options.
0:02GM GM. GM rate, the team at four. All right.
0:02Puka, Alave flowers, DJ more. Don't love that. DJ more pick really hate that.
0:02DJ more pick at 45 DJ more. When J Mo's on the board, DJ more and P washes on the board.
0:02Don't like it. Jalen Warren and Jaden Reed and Harvey.
0:02I mean, Harvey, as you're running back to is fine.
0:02I probably would have taken Lloyd over Joe and Warren on this team.
0:02Stripling about stripling. Puka Stafford, Kelsey, Juwan, T for, Dylan Sampson.
0:02Nathaniel, I'm worried about your running backs, brother. I'm worried about your running backs.
0:02Was very disappointed you didn't push back on Jacob.
0:02Asserting Caleb Johnson can do 85% of what Josh Jacobs says.
0:02Yes, because he might've been too low. He might've been too low.
0:02Caleb Johnson probably can do 100% of what Josh Jacobs can do.
0:02Josh Jacobs, not a special runner. Not a, not a special player.
0:02Uh, oh, I guess I did have Hubbard already.
0:02Uh, how do you feel that Jinxie would rather call his cousin the U for fantasy football advice?
0:02I mean, I would imagine Mason probably never gave him my number.
0:02So it's, it's not his fault. Thoughts on the major Chipotle L with them introducing Pollo Asada instead of bringing back the brisket.
0:02Well, I know what I'm having for dinner tonight.
0:02Although that is an L. Don't get me wrong.
0:02That is indeed a major, major L. Can't believe it.
0:02Can't believe it. Uh, but, but, but, but, but, but I'm starting to warm up to RJ Harvey a bunch.
0:02Me too. Me too. He's been a, he's been a late riser for me in exposure.
0:02I just think his range of outcomes feels pretty good.
0:02Actually, that's disrespectful to Jacobs had a very productive career.
0:02Yes. I, so like, I understand that Jacobs has been productive up until this point, but Jacobs is a 28 year old
0:02running back coming off of a PCL injury who had some of his least effective, like some of his least effective play last year.
0:02So I just think the range of outcomes for like, I, you guys, I, and I know you guys all know this,
0:02but the, the baseline for running back stuff is basically like, are you good enough or are you great?
0:02Josh Jacobs, not a great player, not a fantasy points over expectation player has never been a fantasy points over expectation player.
0:02Jacobs is basically fine. I'm pretty sure Caleb Johnson can be fine.
0:02Maybe he can't. And maybe that is the issue.
0:02Maybe the issue is that he basically can't be fine, but I'm pretty sure he probably can be.
0:02Now the question is, do I want to take Flournoy to add on to the mega stack or not?
0:02Do I want to take Ryan Flournoy? And you know what?
0:02I think I do. This is the, this is the betting against George Pickens team.
0:02All right. And now we are going to take Mr.
0:02Pat Friermuth giving us a team of Dak Prescott, Aaron Rogers, Chase Brown, Javante Williams, Jadarian Price, Chuba Hubbard, Emmitt Johnson, CeeDee
0:02Lamb, Luther Burden, Roman Dunze, Michael Wilson, Rashid Shahid, Ryan Flournoy, George Kittle, Jake Ferguson, and Pat Friermuth.
0:02That is a, my opinion, I think that is a good fantasy team.
0:02But playing special teams is, I mean, I would argue probably some of the special teams jobs are harder than the jobs of playing running back.
0:02There, there is basically a reason that the running back position tends to just be irrelevant to the absolute best teams in football.
0:02You know, think about, think about the two dynasties of your lifetime, the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots.
0:02Neither of those teams were ever defined by their running backs.
0:02In fact, Kansas City won while getting basically below league average play at running back.
0:02And some of those Patriots teams also won getting like very bog standard running back production.
0:02So, I don't, I don't really, I mean, and Josh Jacobs, I mean, we can just pull up the road of his, the fantasy points over expectations stuff.
0:02Like, Jacobs is a, a below average. I mean, just, just the way it goes.
0:02Like, in terms of efficiency, Jacobs is a below average player.
0:02We do the, what, the NFL players. I always kind of forget how the road of his website works to find this, but there, here we go.
0:02All right, we'll go. Josh Jacobs. His ranking in fantasy points.
0:02Actually, you know what? I guess I was wrong.
0:0229 and 39 fantasy points over expectation, negative 31.
0:02So, all right, I was mistaken. I was mistaken.
0:02I'll, I'll take it back. Josh Jacobs is basically a perfectly cromulent fantasy points over expectation running back.
0:02Shout out to Josh Jacobs. We'll be a, I mean, I, I could, you could talk me into Josh Jacobs at like 110 or whatever.
0:02You could definitely talk me into Josh Jacobs instead of Kyle Manungai.
0:02You know, I, I got, I got no issue with that.
0:02Well, am I? Okay, I do have the ability to take Jeremy.
0:02All right, so let's grab Jeremy Bernard here with our 17th round pick.
0:02And then third quarterback gives me an advance rate boost.
0:02If I took Jacoby. So it'd be Jacoby or Najee.
0:02Think Najee Harris is going to win that battle.
0:02Or do I take Jacoby? I mean, who's more likely to be active in week 14?
0:02Honestly, it's probably Penix, isn't it? Or I could take, you know what?
0:02I'm going to take Jacoby with Marv because Rogers is a billion years old.
0:02Dak Prescott, Aaron Rogers, Jacoby Brissett, Chase Brown, Javante Williams, Jadarian Price, Chuba Hubbard, Emmett Johnson, CeeDee Lamb, Luther Burden, Roma Dunze,
0:02Michael Wilson, Rashid Shahid, Ryan Flournoy, Jeremy Bernard, George Kittle, Jake Ferguson, Pat Firemuth.
0:02Where are we at with the drafters? 250. Looks like we still need, what is that?
0:021, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. 7 more for the drafters.
0:02250. 7 more. All right. Well, let's head back in the lobby and do another Best Ball Mania draft while we wait then.
0:02Let's see if we can fill that up. I have got 20 more BBMs.
0:02Looks like they fixed a location error for me overnight.
0:02Do I have any futures bets? The only futures bet I have right now is the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl.
0:02That's literally it. I'm at the top of what I wanted my bankroll to be this season, but also have the most knowledge I've had all offseason.
0:02Is it irresponsible to deposit or not get money down?
0:02I mean, here's the deal. You know this. I know this.
0:02We all know this, keep the chief, which is your base expectation, your mean return, even if you are a plus EV
0:02player, even if you are one of the best Best Ball players in the world, your mean expectation is that you are
0:02going to lose money in Best Ball because the payouts are so top-heavy.
0:02So I would never, never recommend overextending yourself in fantasy football for Best Ball.
0:02I would say there are times in your life when you can justify taking a shot in gambling.
0:02Like if you have a fish on the line in poker or if you, you know, some whale wants to play you
0:02in like No Limit and they're really bad, then you can probably do that, but I would not do it for Best Ball.
0:02B. John Robinson at two. All right. A Best Ball Mania draft begins at pick two.
0:02$25 to enter. $2 million to first place. We are drafting B.
0:02John Robinson with the second pick. Pick. Do I regret not having fired more of my Best Ball Mania bullets earlier?
0:03Seems like you left a good amount until late.
0:03No. I think this is a totally fine pace that I am on.
0:03I like having, you know, 20 left to sit here and vibe to the end of the season.
0:03I'll be wrapping up right before kickoff. It all feels pretty good to me.
0:03Am I worried about Malik Neighbors? No. I knew that we would probably get one more bearish, you know, kind of update on Malik Neighbors at some point.
0:03Like they would be like, oh, we don't know if he's going to play.
0:03Am I wrong for thinking the Packers pass catchers should be closer to the Bears and Lions pass catchers?
0:03So. The. The big deal that is different about the Packers versus those teams is they have an extra guy.
0:03The Bears don't have a third wide receiver. The Lions don't have a third wide receiver.
0:03The Packers have the third wide receiver who's going to demand targets.
0:03And they have the tight end. So if you just look, I mean, here we can pull up.
0:03We'll pull up the Mike Clay and I'll show you guys how different the distributions are.
0:03So for the Packers guys, he's got. 107, 96, 91, 95 is the distributions for the top targets.
0:03For the Lions. For the Lions. He's got 118 or sorry, 166, 102, 102, then 38 for the third receiver.
0:03And then for the Bears. I mean, he's such a hater on burden, but he's got 119, 114, 119.
0:03Only 534 throws. Not that Mike Clay is a soothsayer from the future.
0:03So I would, I would just say, you know, approach that with caution.
0:03I, I, I agree with this, that neighbors, the two, three turn basically is all the downside risks baked in.
0:03And I, I think not playing week one to me does not matter.
0:03Does not matter at all to me personally. Do I think Matthew Golden could break out?
0:03I think Matthew Golden is going to break out regardless of what happens.
0:03How much money would they have to give you to come up with your own NFL projection to keep them updated throughout the off season?
0:03I built, I built a tool to do it, but I just ended up not having enough time to fully get all the way through it.
0:03But I, I do, there is. So what the idea was, was I built a tool to create your own projections that
0:03I was going to post for people who subbed the flock fantasy.com.
0:03And I just never, I just never got through to the part of actually building it all the way out.
0:03Wow. Neighbors come on down. Bijan Robinson, Malik neighbors, show me the money.
0:03But I, um, so I, I obviously don't put my finger on the pulse, but I, I help you to cow and
0:03Adam share out some with the projections on run the Sims.com.
0:03Bijan Robinson, Malik neighbors, give me the opportunity to click.
0:03Well, frankly, Rashi is kind of the one I want to take here, but I also don't mind taking breeze here.
0:03What do I, you know what? I don't think I have this combination of players.
0:03Bijan Javante neighbors. How many times do we think I have Bijan and Javante together?
0:03Bijan and Javante Williams. I have together on only 12 of 2365 teams.
0:03Best pick on the board is Chris bell. I don't think he is a bad pick, but I also don't think he
0:03is the best pick on the board. I offered up CMC and Marshawn Lloyd for Bijan and sudden.
0:03I would, I would prefer the CMC Lloyd side.
0:03It's a, it's a very, it's a very fair trade, but I would, I would prefer the CMC side.
0:03What do you want? What do you want Cortland Sutton for?
0:03What it, what is, what is Cortland Sutton doing for you?
0:03Do I like stacking Lloyd and Jacobs together? I mean, frankly, I have not been in a draft where I've had the
0:03opportunity to take a cheap Josh Jacobs. I have not seen Josh Jacobs get past the sixties and any draft I've done.
0:03I don't believe, Hey, respect my go. Hey, Tommy, dude, my guy.
0:03I, uh, I got to, I got to, I'm in, I'm in like the eighth chapter of blood Meridian.
0:03I've been, I've been carving out even, even with how hard I'm grinding these drafts right now, I've still carved out a
0:03smidgen of time to read the book. And, uh, I think of you, I think of you every time, Tommy.
0:03So I hope you're having a great day and I'm very glad that you took burden in your home league.
0:03Shout out, shout out to my dude. 23rd frame in redraft.
0:03Would I trade Jonathan Taylor and at chin for Gibbs?
0:03Yes, I would. Yes, I would. I mean, I guess, I guess this is true.
0:03Sutton is a pretty good hedge for the inevitable, uh, Jalen Waddle injury.
0:03That is true. It's easy to click Javante Williams with site credits.
0:03It's yeah. Yeah, it is. Although Javante Williams is the, is the opposite of a site credit pick.
0:03A site credit pick is, is Jaden blue thoughts on Mike Evans in the sixties.
0:03I gotta be honest, dude. I am, I am really, really, really worried about Mike Evans.
0:03He's, he's one of my top worry players. Like, you know how Peter used to do the, um, the, aren't you worried bit?
0:03I'm, I'm pretty, I'm pretty worried. Question about UD.
0:03Will they have weekly winter leagues? Uh, are you, are you saying like the weekly winter contest?
0:03Cause it already filled. They, they will have battle Royales.
0:03I assume a shout out to WBUE became a YouTube member.
0:03Swift or Igbuka. I believe I have Igbuka like two spots higher.
0:03Um, no, I'm not worried about Evans being bad.
0:03I'm worried that he has now been listed with four different injuries.
0:03Uh, this, this off season. Uh, yeah, I, Curtis, I believe weekly winners legit filled like August 4th or something.
0:03Damn. All right. I thought there was a chance I was going to get Luther burden.
0:03No Luther burden for me. That was a bummer.
0:03I thought, I thought there was a chance it was going to get all the way.
0:03Um, I would like to take Jamison Williams here though.
0:03Bijan Robinson, Javante Williams, Malik neighbors. Bang. We go into the Stibb club.
0:03Now this is true. I actually do like Mike Evans a little bit more, not even a little bit more, quite a
0:03bit more in redraft where the zeros just do not matter to, to, to Mike Evans.
0:03I don't think. Um, and I'm going to take P wash here.
0:03Bijan Robinson, Javante Williams, Malik neighbors, Jamison Williams, P wash.
0:03This, this is how it's done. This is how you draft a best ball mania team in September.
0:03Has there ever been a cooler NFL name than Luther burden?
0:03There hasn't been. And do you guys know about Luther burdens dad?
0:03I mean, I, I know that I've already talked about this a ton.
0:03So Luther burden is the third, but do you guys know about Luther burdens dad?
0:03So Luther burden, the second, first off, look how fucking cool.
0:03This guy is basketball play basketball for the U S men's national team drafted by the Virginia Squires played for the Knicks.
0:03He was coached by Willis Reed burden, refused to play defense.
0:03Very, very funny. He also robbed the bank. Come on, man.
0:03Come on. Oh, this is, this is sorry. This is, this is a, not Luther burns dad.
0:03This is Luther burden is granddad. But first off, shout out to my dude, Luther burden.
0:03Am I high on JCM? Yes, I am. I am.
0:03That's Luther burden, the prequel. Yeah, my bad. That is not Luther burden's dad.
0:03That is Luther burden's granddad who played for the Knicks and, uh, and, and rob the bank.
0:03I think we just gotta, we just gotta respect my goat.
0:03I mean, do I think robbing a bank is a good job?
0:03Do I think you should rob a bank? No.
0:03Do I think that every red-blooded American man has thought about what their job would be in a bank heist?
0:03Yes. I think every red-blooded American man has thought it would be cool to heist a bank.
0:03You know, I'm not talking about, I don't think it, I don't think you should, I don't think you should shoot anyone.
0:03I don't think you should kill anyone. I am, I'm very, I'm very opposed to that.
0:03I think we can all agree we've all wanted to be in an Ocean's Eleven style bank heist, though.
0:03Robbing a bank before color television is basically folklore and doesn't count.
0:03I agree. I agree. Roma Dunze's granddad was the bank teller.
0:03Yeah, I think, I think we can all agree, as long as there's no violence, as long as no one gets hurt, it's cool.
0:03If you have to kill someone, if you have to commit violence, I'm giving that a thumbs down.
0:03Things that are out committing violence. I've never, no, I've never watched the show Money Heist, although I think it probably would
0:03be, I think it would be up my alley.
0:03I love a good heist movie. Who doesn't, who doesn't love a good, a good heist movie?
0:03Hmm. No, this is not true. This is not true.
0:03I am, I am, I am anti, I have maintained and have always been anti, anti-violence.
0:03Rob a treasury? We talking Goldfinger? We talking classic James Bond here, dude?
0:03Classic. Man. I'm going to be, I'm going to be real with you guys here.
0:03I kind of want to take Marshawn Lloyd here.
0:03I'm going to split the difference, though. And I'm going to take Dowdle.
0:03And if Lloyd makes it around this turn, I'm going to take him.
0:03Oh, I mean, the town, the town is up there.
0:03Is the town my favorite heist movie? Does, does Reservoir Dogs count?
0:03I mean, Reservoir Dogs kind of counts. Uh, yeah, you know what?
0:03I am going to do it. I'm going to take Marshawn Lloyd here.
0:03Bijan Robinson, Javante Williams, Rico Dowdle, Marshawn Lloyd, Malik Nabors, Jameson Williams, and Parker Washington.
0:03Oh, yes. Sorry. Obviously, the greatest heist movie of all time is Heat.
0:03Yes. Yes. That is, that is my favorite heist movie of all time.
0:03I mean, I've seen Heat. God, how many times have I seen Heat in my life?
0:0320 times? This, okay. Hey, Chris. What are we doing, dude?
0:03Heat is an actual bad movie. I can't. I can't, man.
0:03I mean, Ocean's Eleven is, Ocean's Eleven is also unbelievably good.
0:03I wouldn't say, I don't, it's not about, it's not about, it's not about well written.
0:03Come on, dude. I'm not, Chris. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not an auteur when I am watching a heist movie.
0:03If I wanted, if I wanted to watch an incredible, you know, work of art, I would watch like a Jean-Luc Godard film, man.
0:03Come on. That's not what it's about. If you love Heat, got to check out Michael Mann's debut film, Thief.
0:03I've never seen it. So there you go. I have, I have not seen Usual Suspects.
0:03Uh, says my stream is YouTube featured. It's probably because I started talking about Heat.
0:03But I mean, you're just, you're, you're not going to, you're, look, you're not going to beat the Pacino De Niro scene.
0:03You are not going to be, you know, for me.
0:03Oh, and yes, of course, this is probably another, this is probably another movie that people would say is quote bad.
0:03But Point Break is a great movie. Point, Point Break does everything that a movie needs you to do.
0:03Oh, you know what? Inside Man might be better than Heat.
0:03Damn, Inside Man might. It doesn't have, it does not have as.
0:03It, it obviously, like, it doesn't have the same cachet as Heat, because it doesn't have De Niro, it doesn't have Pacino, it doesn't have the diner scene.
0:03But Inside Man is a, oh man. Inside Man is so, I, you know, I, you, the discourse I hate is when
0:03people are like, oh, it's so good, you have to see it.
0:03But man, Inside Man is, is so good. I have not seen, so I have not seen Hell or High Water.
0:03Yeah, and, and so I'll tell you the reason I have not seen The Usual Suspects, because The Usual Suspects got spoiled
0:03for me when I was like 11. Because you guys know, I'm a big Bill Simmons guy, and I read the entirety,
0:03I read everything that Bill Simmons had ever written on ESPN.
0:03Uh, it's a thing they used to run, which is called Page Two.
0:03And I read everything that Bill Simmons has ever written on that website when I was like 10 or 11 years old.
0:03And there's probably no movie that Bill references more than The Usual Suspects.
0:03So that movie got spoiled for me, so I just never saw it.
0:03Doesn't mean, doesn't mean I'm right, but I just have never, I just have never seen it.
0:03Uh, what do I want to do at quarterback here?
0:03So I'm thinking maybe we do a weirdo team, because the thing with Lloyd is Lloyd could pretty easily be a zero.
0:03So we are about to do, I'm going to do, I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
0:03No, I'm going to take, well actually, what do I do?
0:03I'm going to take JCM. I'm going to take JCM.
0:03This is going to be kind of a weirdo construction team where I'm done at running back here and we're done with five.
0:03And then what are the odds that Goff gets back to me?
0:03Like zero, like 0% chance that Goff gets back to me.
0:03I'm going to take Matthew Golden and I'm going to play, I'm going to play chicken with the room.
0:04And if we have to do a three quarterback team, we have to do a three quarterback team.
0:04You don't even, you don't, first off, I am as old as Mike Evans.
0:04I'm 34, I'm 34 years old. And the sting is a great movie.
0:04I'm not, I am, uh, I am not dismissing Quentin Tarantino.
0:04I just have, I just have not seen it because I, I know the ending and the ending is a, is a big reveal.
0:04No one spoil usual suspects if other people in here have not seen it.
0:04Yeah, the sting. So the sting is great. Reservoir Dogs is great.
0:04I have not seen Dog Day Afternoon. That's on my, that's on my list.
0:04Um, Heat, obviously Inception probably counts. The Town is great.
0:04Town is really, really good. I've not seen The Italian Job.
0:04Uh, I've seen, I've seen both Point Break movies.
0:04Uh, I have seen Logan Lucky. Logan Lucky was a good film.
0:04That was like a, that was like a Netflix one.
0:04Uh, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I've seen that one a long time ago.
0:04Uh, I mean, Gold, Goldfinger probably technically counts as a heist movie.
0:04Big fan of that. What else here? I saw the OG taking of Pelham 1-2-3.
0:04That's a great one. Heist movies, man. Who's, who's gonna say no?
0:04Uh, do I think right now is the best time or the worst time to draft?
0:04I think right now is like peak fun to draft.
0:04Cause you just have, we just have so much information about guys right now.
0:04Yeah. I mean the, the, the new one, not that memorable.
0:04I actually, I actually saw the new one in theaters when it was out.
0:04Rout. Ooh. I mean, Rounders is a heist movie.
0:04If you count stealing blinds, Rounders is for sure my most watched movie in life.
0:04I've seen Rounders, I mean, at least 100 times.
0:04That's like, at least when, um, I, I would play cards with my dad and his buddies in high school.
0:04And we would just put Rounders on, like it would just be on the TV, like in our little card room.
0:04Should I trade Blake Corum for Alec Pierce? No, I probably like, I probably like Blake Corum more.
0:04Pay that to me on his monies. Check, check, check.
0:04God, what a Malkovich. I mean, everyone in that movie.
0:04It's so good. It's so good. If you like Reservoir Dogs, you should watch the OG Hong Kong movie.
0:04It basically rips off City on Fire. You know what, Andrew?
0:04I've actually heard that before. That is, uh, people, someone, someone has mentioned that to me before.
0:04Damn. All right. Kyler Wynn. I am, I am in trouble at quarterback here.
0:04I am in trouble, which I knew I was going to get in trouble.
0:04I knew that was a, I knew that was a wonky decision to have made.
0:04Uh, I'm going to take Baker because I can backstack Baker.
0:04And then I can probably do two later quarterbacks.
0:04I could take Dubs here. I could take Debo here.
0:04Actually, what I should do is I should take a court, a tight end.
0:04We're going to take Mr. Swift, Travis Kelsey, Baker Mayfield, B.
0:04John Robinson, Javante, Rico, Marshawn Lloyd, Corey Krosky, Merritt, Malik Neighbors, Jameson Williams, P.
0:04Wash, Golden, and Travis Kelsey. Baby Driver. The best ever was when Davis said the movie he can't wait to watch with his son is rounders.
0:04It's true. I can't. He's going to love it.
0:04JCM in the 11th was nice while it lasted.
0:04Does Rogue One count? Rogue One probably counts. I mean, that's, that's a legitimate heist.
0:04By the way, we still need five more for the 250 over on drafters.
0:04So if you are one of the 366 people watching, head on over to drafters.com.
0:04If you don't have an account yet, type in code Davis, you will get a deposit bonus.
0:04And we are going to draft a $250 team over there.
0:04GM, GM, Michael, big draft day for me on Thursday.
0:04Hey, I hope you use code Davis over on flockfantasy.com for the season pass.
0:04In your heart of hearts, which rookie smashes their current ADP the most?
0:04Dijon Stribbling. Part of heart answer. FMK manage leagues, the tight end position, kicker position, defense position.
0:04Mary, the tight end position. One night stand, the kicker position.
0:04No, one night stand, the defense position, kill the kicker position.
0:04I'd rank them. I like tight end. I like defense.
0:04I don't really care about kickers. Kid's going to be like, why didn't he just call his girlfriend to say he was staying out with Worm?
0:04And I'm going to have to explain cell phones or anything.
0:04Yeah, he'd have to find a pay phone back in the day.
0:04I never saw Avengers Endgame. It's true. Actually, the only thing I know about Avengers Endgame is that Matthew Barry was in it.
0:04We did a punter in our league last year instead of kicker, and I liked it.
0:04What do you get points for? Like yards? You know those pieces in your closet you find yourself wearing on repeat?

0:04You think you know a browser, but Gemini and Chrome?
0:04That's new. It can help you with practically anything on the web, like restoring a vintage motorcycle from a 50-page restoration block,
0:04or finally break down that long article you've had open for weeks.
0:04Gemini and Chrome is here for it. Ready to make anything online make sense?
0:04There's no place like Chrome. Check responses set up required.
0:04Compatibility and availability varies 18+. I knew this was grimy as hell.
0:04Choose one to emerge as the wide receiver two for the Giants.
0:04I mean, give me Fields there. It can't possibly be Odell.
0:04Odell hasn't been good since he tore his ACL like 16 Super Bowls ago.
0:04Can't possibly be Odell. Can't possibly be Slayton either.
0:04There's no way. Still pretty grimy situation here at quarterback.
0:04I mean, do I take Dimes-Keenan? Do I just do the Dimes-Keenan turn?
0:04That could be okay. Because I don't really... Yeah, you know what?
0:04Let's do that. Let's do Daniel Jones, and then let's cue up Keenan Allen, who might help if Neighbors misses week one.
0:04Jacob's at 159. I have no... I can't tell you.
0:04I can't tell you not to take him there.
0:04Odell is a Harbs fave. It could be him.
0:04That's true. That's a very New York Giants thing to do.
0:04I mean, they're doing it with Najee Harris. They are reanimating Najee Harris' corpse to come be their tight end, or their running back.
0:04Baker Mayfield, Daniel Jones, Bijan Robinson, Javante Williams, Rico Dowdle, Marshawn Lloyd, Corey Krosky-Merritt, Malik Neighbors, Jameson Williams, Parker Washington, Matthew Golden, Keenan Allen, and Travis Kelsey.
0:04This will also probably be a 3573. Hmm. Do I like my home league auction start of JT, Ken Walker, Puka, Burden?
0:04Hey, stars and scrubs, brother. I think we are in the most obvious stars and scrubs period of time in fantasy football history.
0:04There's like 70 guys who are okay, and then like 15 guys you really want on a given team.
0:04Any guillotine league content recommendations? I know they do.
0:04I believe there is a weekly guillotine league column done on fantasylife.com, and I think it's free.
0:04Najee Harris is rushing for 600 yards and eight touchdowns, and there's nothing you or I can do about it.
0:04That's a man who knows ball. Do I see a world where Herbert finishes as the quarterback one?
0:04Yes. Yeah. He's playing. He's got all these goat receivers.
0:04He's got the goat offensive coordinator. I mean, it is all set up for Justin Herbert this year.
0:04If Justin Herbert can't figure it out this year, like if Justin Herbert finishes as the quarterback 11 this year, can we
0:04just be done with the Justin Herbert experience? I would like to be.
0:04I would like to be done with it. I don't want to talk about if man anymore.
0:04I have a theory. Isaiah likely was playing in the Malik neighbors role during the summer.
0:04Wheels up for neighbors. It's an interesting theory. Yeah.
0:04Pete and Tony Squares just started their guillotine thingy.
0:04I am doing a guillotine league some night. Peter texted me about it.
0:04I am in a guillotine league this year with Peter and with Mr.
0:04Squares, I believe. The thing that would stop him would be 35 combined rushing touchdowns.
0:04I mean, the thing that would happen for Justin Herbert is the thing that always happens to Justin Herbert, which is that
0:04he starts the year as everyone loves this guy.
0:04Justin Herbert's points per game finishes 17, 16, 18, 16, quarterback, 11, 13, 12, 15.
0:04He has not finished as a top 10 fantasy quarterback since 2021.
0:04He has not scored over 18 fantasy points per game since 2021.
0:04He's not thrown for over 4,000 yards since 2022.
0:04He did start running last year, but it just didn't have that much.
0:04It just did not have that much of an effect on the guys around him.
0:04You know, I'd really like to take Dalton Schultz with this pick.
0:04If I don't get snapped here, what happened to a Rondé Gadsden?
0:04He is like the third string tight end and we do get Dalton Schultz.
0:04That is quite nice. Dalton Schultz, Travis Kelsey is the all time.
0:04That's the, that's such a, that's such a funny tight end pairing.
0:04And then we got to save our next pick or.
0:04Do I want to take three quarterbacks on this team?
0:04Yeah. Better advance rate. Yeah. Yeah, I do. And then, I mean, I could take Omar Cooper Jr.
0:04Here and set up Gino if I wanted him.
0:04And be Pat Bryant or Omar Cooper Jr. Here.
0:04Um, well, let's take Omar Cooper Jr. And give myself a chance.
0:04To take Gino. If I decide I want him on Herbert slaughter was the best possible pick.
0:04Yeah, that's true. Given they lost the Polish guy.
0:04Is Najee actually going to be the giants running back to.
0:04Not only is he going to be the running back too.
0:04He might be there running back one. Where does Jaden blue go?
0:04I don't know. I don't have Jaden blue ranked in fantasy football.
0:04What's going on with Tesla. Uh, it sounds like Tesla is like losing his job.
0:04I think Tesla is like a firm round 18 pick right now.
0:04Doesn't, doesn't feel like a guy that people are wanting to draft too much in fantasy football.
0:04Cause I think the expectation was he might get a little bit of an additional role.
0:04And it does not look like it's going to happen.
0:04Uh, Joe Mixon said he's retired. Joe Mixon is, is not going to play football this year.
0:04Yeah. Blue goes wherever the first person times out.
0:04I don't, I don't think the Cowboys beats were lying.
0:04My best guess for what happened with Jaden blue was he looks really good before the pads get on.
0:04And when you are, you know, when you're, when you're in shorts and a helmet, but you don't have pads on, I
0:04think Jaden blue probably looks really good. And then when you get the pads on, I think he doesn't really look that good.
0:04Uh, this is, this is definitely wrong because Malik Davis has been on the Cowboys for four years and is a super replaceable, like do nothing player there.
0:04There there's no, there's no redeeming qualities really for Malik Davis.
0:04Other than that, he's not Jaden blue. Kamani by Dell McGowan or justice Hill.
0:04I'm probably partial to Vidal at this point. Honestly, I feel, I feel, although McGowan has the nice little edge that he
0:04hasn't been drafted for, uh, most of the tournament.
0:04It's true. They did cut Greg Dorch and Greg Dorch got picked up.
0:04He, what he signed with the Buffalo bills. Greg Dorch did shout out to my short King, Greg Dorch.
0:04All right. We are up in three picks with a two, five, six, two.
0:04I need to take Kate Otten with one of these picks.
0:04And then I need to decide if I want to take a third quarterback or not.
0:04My quarterbacks are Baker Mayfield and Daniel Jones. So I might need to take a third quarterback.
0:04I clicked Malik Davis on, but if Javante goes down, yeah, if Javante goes down his role, his role changes a little,
0:04you know, he's, he's going to be the primary early down guy, but it's.
0:04Malik Davis is pretty unlikely to generate league winning statistics.
0:04Sorry. We do get Kate Otten, the Travis Kelsey, Dalton Schultz, Kate Otten tight end room.
0:04One of the, one of the tight end rooms of all time.
0:04All right. Let's do. I mean, I think we take Gino here.
0:04Yeah. What are, uh, what are your, what are your insurance needs?
0:04Hambo and slappy. Gino. All right. Baker Mayfield, Daniel Jones, Gino Smith, Bijan Robinson, Javante Williams, Rico Dowdle, Marshawn Lloyd, JCM, Malik
0:04neighbors, Jamison Williams, P wash, Matthew golden, Keenan Allen, Omar Cooper, junior Travis, Kelsey, Dalton Schultz and Cade.
0:05That's a tight end. That is a tight end room.
0:05You could pull a bank ice with. Yes. The Gilbert Godfrey painting an all timer Rogers or all or no, no all
0:05or for me in fantasy football this year. Do all the jets smash.
0:05I think all the jets smash of Gino is just average.
0:05Yes. I tend to, I tend to agree with that.
0:05Uh, I don't think either KOC or Steichen will get fired.
0:05I expect they both probably do a good job.
0:05Uh, Keaton, you might, you might need to come back down to earth, brother.
0:05You just asked back to back questions about two quarterbacks who are not getting benched.
0:05Carson Beck is not playing this year. Or if he's playing, he's playing in like week 14 or something.
0:05If you want to play the benching game, you can take Shadur Sanders and you can take, uh, Michael Penix jr.
0:05My thought on the Niners running back to is that it's probably Kalen black.
0:05Well, I finally have a respectable looking quant. Yeah.
0:05Look at this collar, bro. What do they know about the starch Brooks brothers collar?
0:05How can I help you with your insurance needs today?
0:05Hey, it's just time. You know, we gotta, we gotta talk about.
0:05We gotta be serious fantasy football analysts around here.
0:05They're not gonna, they're not gonna let me, they're not gonna let me be in the flock league next year.
0:05If I don't get bigger, the channel, the channel's gotta get bigger.
0:05They're not letting me in the flock league, bro.
0:05Hey, GM, GM, Joey. Are the Colts really gonna run it back with Steichen and Ballard if they go like eight and nine?
0:05Um, yeah, I think they probably will, dude. For real.
0:05Shane Steichen is a, Shane Steichen is a good coach.
0:05He really, he really is. Rodgers or Jacoby last pick?
0:05Ah, damn, Jeremy went. I, I like, I like Rodgers.
0:05Uh, man, what am I gonna do? I guess, I mean, I guess I'm probably gonna take Taequann Thornton.
0:05Um, Shani said the running back two is fluid.
0:05Yeah, I believe that. Kyle Shanahan's also full of shit.
0:05Ah, damn, Xavier and Thomas win. Xavier and Thomas is a good pick.
0:05Where are we looking at on drafters? Ooh, two more.
0:05Two more on drafters. Two more and we will fill the 250 on drafters.
0:05You know what? That's actually nice. We're gonna take Taequann because I need to, I actually have two flock league things, or
0:05two flockfantasy.com things that I need to do. Who is the quant of my quant's quant?
0:05I think, I think Mr. Clay is an originator.
0:05Help me cope with getting position limits, Jade and Blue in round 18.
0:05It's, uh, it's over for you, brother. That team was, uh, that team was really good.
0:05But I need to pull up my flock fantasy page because I have two questions that I have to answer that I've been meaning to get to.
0:05And I've been meaning to do them on the Redraft channel, but I'm gonna do them on the Best Ball channel because
0:05we only need one more spot for the high roller over on drafters.com.
0:05So I'm gonna go to the advice tab. I'm gonna click the stream button.
0:05No, I'm not because it's not, this is not working, bro.
0:05Something is, all right, well, nevermind. We're gonna have to do it.
0:05We're gonna have to do it later because the link is not working.
0:05But I do have multiple team reviews that I have to get to.
0:05So I guess I'm just gonna get to these.
0:05Maybe I'll do it. Maybe I'll do it after.
0:05Oh, here we go. And it filled anyway. All right, we got the drafters 250 off and running.
0:05I am drafting out of the five slot with SSSSS, Sharp as a cue ball, Chris, K-I-T-N, Sullivan Chris, Tyler 8, Jato, Joshua Riddell.
0:05Shout out my guy, Josh Riddell. Shout out to my guy, Dorito.
0:05Bacon Bits and Jay Kalari. Drafting out of the five slot.
0:05Let's find a shipper here. Can you explain the button down shirts back to back days?
0:05Yes, I'll help you. I'll help you, which is that I got a comment on my YouTube video yesterday that said, it's
0:05easier to take fantasy football advice from someone who is dressed professionally.
0:05And what we're doing now is called, it's called AB testing.
0:05So I'm finding out if this is actually true, if people actually know the difference.
0:05Who is a better pick, Woody Marks or Mike Washington?
0:05I think I have Mike Washington like two spots at, ooh, Caleb Johnson might've went undrafted and he definitely shouldn't be.
0:05Caleb Johnson is a good pick. Yes, I'm taking fashion advice from Hayden Winks.
0:05All right, we're going to start with Mr. Jackson Smith in Jigba.
0:05Big things coming up tomorrow because we have the spite main event on the Ship Chasing channel.
0:05So myself, Pat Corain, Peter Overzet, Jacob Sanderson, we are all drafting against each other in an FFPC main event, calling it the spite main.
0:05Very, very excited. The deal, so the deal with my hair right now is my hair is pissing me off.
0:05It is a million degrees here in the Midwestern United States.
0:05It's so hot. It's so humid. It is, it's horrible.
0:05And my hair is so frizzy. It is driving me insane.
0:05I hate it. So for the next couple of days, we are going to have, we're going to have the hair up.
0:05I could star as AJ Hawk in the Pat McAfee biopic.
0:05That would be something. Liam said he was going to register for it.
0:05I think he was, I think he was joshing, but I hope he did.
0:05No, I am. I'm not an Austin boy. I was, I was in Austin for the Flock League.
0:05I was there for the weekend. I guess it was more of a week actually.
0:05Yeah, business casual. I'm ready to go to lunch at Chili's after this.
0:05I am so hungry and I'm probably not going to have time to eat before this whole cast.
0:05Sometimes that's the way life goes. Oh, come on, dude.
0:05Give me gente here. Just no way this dude is going to give me gente.
0:05Wow. He did. That's big. Structurally. That is massive.
0:05They're being able to get gente. Is Kansas city Midwest or the great plains?
0:05So I think technically the way like the geography of the United States works out.
0:05I think technically it actually is the great plains, but everyone I know is always called Kansas, the Midwest.
0:05Am I starting to pull other guys up with K9 at the turn like Bowers or AJ Brown?
0:05No, no, I'm not doing that at all. I just don't, I don't really, I don't really find the value in it.
0:05Why would I, why would I make my Kenneth Walker teams worse?
0:05I want, I want my Kenneth Walker teams to be good.
0:05What is my take on Jalen Waddell? Took him in a PPR dynasty league, but his value is pretty high.
0:05I mean, I just think he is on pace to have a very, very good fantasy football season.
0:05Bo Nix led the NFL in past attempts. Technically the Kansas city chiefs and the Arizona Cardinals threw more passes, but they had multiple quarterbacks on there.
0:05I feel very good about Jalen Waddell. They traded a first round pick for him.
0:05He is a, he is a very, very good player.
0:05His numbers with historic, like historically speaking, his numbers with Tyreek Hill off the field would put him as like one of
0:05like the 10 most efficient players in fantasy football.
0:05And I'm going to take Javante here. JVANTE JSN.
0:05I, I agree with this. Yeah. It's all Midwest until Colorado.
0:05John Sazale from dog day afternoon is in five feature movies total and went five or five getting nominated for best picture.
0:05That is cool. Caleb Johnson, green Bay practice videos are already out.
0:05Does he look great? I hope, I hope he looks like he's in the best shape of his life.
0:05Let's see if we can find some Caleb Johnson, green Bay hype.
0:05Jordan loved Caleb Johnson. Wow. Already bullish. Look at that dude running with the first team offense.
0:05Looks sharp. Looks athletic. Look at Caleb Johnson. Look at him go.
0:05You love to see it. I, I love to see it on Caleb Johnson.
0:05So masculine. Let's go bro. To come up for air.
0:05I won't. I hope you're having a good day too, bro.
0:05Uh, UD just released a bunch more contests. Well, let's go see what it is.
0:05Bunch more contests. We have got the mini golden single entry winner.
0:05Take all the Rottweiler, the German shepherd and the great Dane too.
0:05So they were, they're running back the great Dane from yesterday.
0:05All right. Hey, they are keeping the people fed.
0:05Caleb Johnson does have his whole life ahead of him.
0:05That's true. Yeah. Business, business casual week is very funny.
0:05Andrew pick up Caleb Johnson and drop Samson. Have Lloyd.
0:05You know what? Honestly, in a pretty shallow league, I actually think I would do that.
0:05And then I would just probably plan on dropping Caleb Johnson after week one.
0:05I mean, Dylan Samson, obviously if you had to start one of them, you would much rather start Dylan Samson.
0:05Dylan Samson is going to have a role from week one, but Caleb Johnson is, I mean, I don't know whatever odds
0:05you guys would put it at, but I would say there is some non-zero chance that Caleb Johnson is the starting running
0:05back for the green Bay Packers by like week four.
0:05And that could happen. Obviously there is a decent chance of Marshawn Lloyd getting injured because he's literally been injured every time he's ever played an NFL game.
0:05That's actually true. Jacob pointed that one out to me.
0:05Deandre Swift there, but my dude, Caleb, Caleb Johnson was a Caleb Johnson was a good prospect.
0:05It didn't work out for him in Pittsburgh. Obviously they, they let him go right away.
0:05Do I disagree with my quants projection on Cortland Sutton?
0:05I don't know. I don't know what it is.
0:05My quantitative has Cortland Sutton for 20. Yes, I do disagree.
0:05I don't, I don't think he and Jalen Waddle are going to see the same number of targets.
0:05That would be, that would be legitimately surprising to me.
0:05Yeah. He really, he really never got a chance.
0:05I mean, he fumbled, he fumbled that kickoff and it was over.
0:05All right. Give me fricking JMO here, dude. JMO is a slam dunk.
0:05This guy's going to take JMO and I'm going to have to take Devante Adams.
0:05Yeah. Uh, we already, we already looked at the Packers projections, 11 games for Josh Jacobs.
0:05I see. I, I think I've, I've probably ended up here as well, which is like Pat, Pat, it sounds like Pat
0:05Bryant is basically like the most ascending guy in fantasy football.
0:05Remember when Helani picked up Caleb's muffed kickoff touch for touchdown.
0:05I didn't remember Helani being involved there. No, uh, I don't, I don't think Caleb was hurt.
0:05I think he was okay. I don't remember that.
0:05The guy doesn't get a chance on the field.
0:05It's because he's way worse than we could ever imagine.
0:05Wasn't worth putting on the field. I'm going to go ahead and disagree with that.
0:05There are just so many examples of that not being true.
0:05There are, there are like almost like countless examples of that, particularly funnily enough with third round running backs.
0:05Uh, someone I was on the fence about, but has really changed my opinion.
0:05Uh, Bucky, definitely one of them, but I mean, Parker Washington is the big one.
0:05Parker Washington. I was on the fence of, but now I'm like actively entering drafts to draft more of him.
0:05All right. Single seasons matching criteria. We'll go from 2010.
0:05To 2005. We'll go running back regular season. Statistical filter.
0:05We'll go rushing attempts. Less than 99. Biographical filter year of players career first year.
0:05And then we'll go. Yeah, that should be, Oh, and then I need draft status, draft status drafted, and we'll go round three.
0:05And I think you will be stunned. How many of these guys didn't play at all.
0:05And then ended up contributing. Um, so you got Damian Harris who red shirted and then was a starter.
0:05You have James Connor who red shirted and then was a starter.
0:05Daryl Henderson, who was a starter tank. Big CB, who was traded to a larger role.
0:05Corum, who was red shirt and who was a starter.
0:05Kenyan Drake was red shirted and a starter. Tevin Coleman, barely played finishes the running back.
0:05Overall running back. One, Ronnie Hillman did that where he was red shirted.
0:05Didn't start until 2015, but ended up being a starter.
0:05Uh, Donta Foreman injured his Achilles. Steven Ridley, same deal.
0:05I think you would actually be, I think you would actually be very, very surprised about that.
0:05Um, and we're going to take, yeah, you know what?
0:05I will take Chris Godwin. Chris Godwin feels like a survivor aspect.
0:05Remove Bill lore for a second. Any K-Tron path this year?
0:05Um, yeah, it's your teacher. He just plays better than Bill.
0:05It's all list of dudes that had two year careers.
0:05Well, you're wrong. You could just say you're wrong, brother.
0:05You can say, Oh, I didn't realize that that's new information for me.
0:05It's okay to respond. Like just because like I say things that are wrong all the time.
0:05And then when I realize that I was wrong, I say, Oh, that was new information for me.
0:05I will now adjust my opinion moving forward. It's okay.
0:05I promise you, brother. It's okay. Uh, Charles Sims did have a little moment.
0:05I remember Charles Sims. K-Tron is not going to eat JCM's lunch.
0:06I'm, I'm, I'm trending towards this degree that Chris Godwin is, probably just going to be the box wide receiver one all year.
0:06Oh, this is, this is honestly dark. I nominated Brian Robinson with the first pick in my auction league and he went for $50.
0:06Honestly, playoff Rondo. That is, that's, that's fucked up of you.
0:06That's actually, that's a, I'm not, I, that I'm, I'm saying that's a foul.
0:06That's a foul. Yes, they were all replacement level players, but I'm saying that's the deal with Caleb Johnson is he's in
0:06a situation where replacement level might be good enough.
0:06Replacement level might be great. Brian Thomas, Jr. feels like a smash there.
0:06A, a, a replacement level running back in the green Bay Packers situation might be like a, a huge jam, right?
0:06If Marshawn Lloyd gets like, what if we get, what if today at green Bay Packers practice, there, there is an update
0:06that says Marshawn Lloyd is working off to the side.
0:06Theoretically, where are you taking Caleb Johnson or where are you taking Chris Brooks?
0:06Theoretically. In fact, you know what? That's a good tweet.
0:06Where's the, I got to find the Jonathan Brooks and then I'm going to quote through this.
0:06We're about to, we're about to have a little banger here.
0:06If this report happened or Marshawn. Lloyd with Jacobs on the exempt list, how high are we taking Caleb Johnson in fantasy football drafts?
0:06The sad James Connors on IR though. So I'm, I'm worried about James Connors.
0:06I'm thinking about taking him in my guillotine league.
0:06Marshawn Lloyd. Caleb can't outmaneuver. And OB's person. He is a pretty straight line runner.
0:06That is that. So that that's true. He is, he is a straight line runner.
0:06That happens in Tony Pollard's on a plane to Wisconsin.
0:06I think Tony Pollard. Sadly. Sadly. Uh, I, I believe Tony Pollard sadly, like makes a decent amount of money and it's kind of hard to trade him.
0:06If Lloyd is out, Caleb is probably going higher than where Lloyd is right now.
0:06No, because he's still Caleb Johnson and Brooks is still there.
0:06So, so probably not. We are proudly supported by Nathan and sons, makers of underbrush, re mineralizing gum.
0:06The Nathan and sons folks sent me some of this gum.
0:06And when you taste it, it's like, Oh, this is what real flavor tastes like.
0:06It just didn't feel fake. It had a texture and a taste of what real gum should be because I've tried other
0:06natural gums and the flavor does not pop like it does with Nathan and sons.
0:06And the flavor doesn't last. My favorite flavor is cinematic.
0:06I also feel like my jaws in better shape, not doing as much clenching with my teeth.
0:06And what's funny is it's made with hydroxy appetite.
0:06The same mineral, your tooth enamel is made from.

0:06It can help you with practically anything on the web, like restoring a vintage motorcycle from a 50 page restoration block, or finally break down that long article.
0:06You've had open for weeks. Gemini and Chrome is here for it.
0:06Ready to make anything online. Make sense. There's no place like Chrome check responses, set up required compatibility and availability.
0:06Various 18 plus. Sorry, I'm working on a, I'm working on a video project and I have to ship some, ship some DMS and some emails.
0:06I have a big video that I'm working on for the Matic fantasy football channel that requires running through.
0:06Got to, got to answer a bunch of DMS and emails.
0:06Has Marshawn Lloyd gone in this one yet, by the way?
0:06Yeah. Marshawn Lloyd went at 67. That's a good pick.
0:06I think, I think, uh, Lloyd theoretically can catch the ball, but he's just, he's just barely, he's just barely played.
0:06He really, he really is, has just not played very much football.
0:06Um, what am I thinking quarterback wise here? Should I take BTJ?
0:06Actually, this is a JCM pick and then I'm just going to take whichever quarterback gets around to me.
0:06I don't recall ever getting kids, ever seen Caleb getting more than five yards on NFL touch.
0:06I mean, I think including preseason, he's got about 18 total touches at the national football league level.
0:06Should I trade Darnold for pretty? Yes. I don't know.
0:06Why would, why would anyone even offer you that trade though?
0:06Sam Darnold is like barely fantasy football relevant. Top scene, top scene.
0:06Caleb got a couple touches last year. I remember thoughts on the Patrick Mahomes injury.
0:06What injury brother? He's not hurt. He doesn't even, he doesn't even have a, he doesn't even have a brace on the guy.
0:06The guy is a fricking cyborg. Caleb was responsible for a touchdown.
0:06People forget that is true. Hey, shout out to my dude bull in a China shop.
0:06Respect. All right. Um, you know what? Damn. I was actually about to take my homes, but I can't.
0:06So now I'm going to take Matthew Stafford with Devante Adams.
0:06You love to see it. Actually, you don't love to see it.
0:06I don't, I don't actually really think Matt Stafford's like that good of a fantasy football pick.
0:06I mean, he's fine. He's fine. Am I comfortable with dart and Knicks in one quarterback redraft?
0:06Yes. Yeah. They're like the same. It's not hard to see Caleb Johnson being a real running back.
0:06No one's saying he's going to be a star in the Steelers.
0:06No, this, they don't care. He's just as good as Lloyd.
0:06Yeah. I just don't think Lloyd, I guess maybe my difference of opinion is that I just don't think Lloyd is special.
0:06I didn't think Lloyd was a particularly good prospect.
0:06Lloyd is just the guy who is in line to get points right now.
0:06Should I take Pukunuku at the 1.4? Or it's where I have him ranked.
0:06I feel like the Packers trust Chris Brooks, even though as a fantasy community, we say he's the worst ever.
0:06It's just a matter of, you're just not going to give that guy that many rushes.
0:06Chris, Chris Brooks is, he just, you know, Chris Brooks is like, uh, he's like Daria Ogunbowale.
0:06You know, he, that, that's who that, if you want to know who Chris Brooks is, he's, he's Daria Ogunbowale.
0:06Well, I would hope the Packers are high on Marshawn Lloyd because they drafted him from a macro level.
0:06Lloyd has two years of no production. Caleb has one year.
0:06Seems like the one year player should cost more in a vacuum.
0:06Well, yeah, but the one year player was fully healthy.
0:06Marshawn Lloyd was not on the field because he wasn't healthy.
0:06Thoughts on neighbors saying, I can see why you guys might've thought I was 100% from some of the videos.
0:06I, I don't, I do not care. The Mars, the, the Malik neighbor stuff is not moving the needle for me.
0:06If it moves the needle for one of you guys and you want to take Pickens or Nico Collins ahead of him, I think that is totally fine.
0:06It's just a matter of risk tolerance. And I think the risk reward for Malik neighbors, tilts towards the people who are drafting Malik neighbors right now.
0:06Daria Ugunbowale is your example. Every time you name a trash running back, except he's, except he's, I don't, I don't think Daria is trash though.
0:06That's the thing. I do not at all think that Daria is trash.
0:06I think he, Daria Ugunbowale serves a very useful purpose in the NFL.
0:06It's just that his purpose is not very good for fantasy.
0:06For, for fantasy. It's not really the job you want one of your receivers have.
0:06We're going to do bone Nix. Cause I got some ideas with what we're going to do later here.
0:06Daria is exactly. He's very important in real life.
0:06He has served, he's served very important roles for multiple NFL teams.
0:06Honestly, it does feel this way. It legitimately does feel like Lloyd was drafted in like a different lifetime.
0:06I don't know why that is. It's probably just because he's, we've never gotten any positive reward for him, but yeah, it
0:06does feel like Marshawn Lloyd has been a Packer for like a billion years.
0:06What are the odds that Marshawn Lloyd outscores Jonathan Brooks this year?
0:06I mean, right now I would say like, it's probably likely.
0:06I mean, if you, if you made me, if you made me bet right now, I would bet that Marshawn Lloyd probably
0:06does score more points than Jonathan Brooks. He's on a way better team, way better offense, similar style.
0:06Like Jonathan Brooks was a better prospect, but, but what does that even mean?
0:06Like at this stage of their careers, truly, what does it even mean that Jonathan Brooks was a better prospect?
0:06That was a billion. That was a billion knee injuries.
0:06It goes for, for both of them. Neither of them are even close to the same guy.
0:06Do I think it's crazy to say JCM will go around Kyron and breeze range next year?
0:06I think he's so much better than where he's out on the board.
0:06It's only crazy because people will never give him that respect.
0:06Bill, Bill will, will never, Bill will never get that kind of respect.
0:06It'll just never happen. People have already decided bill sucks.
0:06They, they, you know, it's like all Kyron does is score a billion touchdowns and it doesn't matter.
0:06Kyron Williams, like effectively cannot score enough fantasy points to make people take him.
0:06At a level commiserate with the amount of points that he has scored in a given season.
0:06Silva has Lloyd in the sixties and Caleb in the two hundreds.
0:06I mean, that's how, that's how I have them ranked.
0:06The New York post just tweeted five minutes ago that Nakua's girlfriend has made a tick talk about abuse claims.
0:06Yeah. I, I, I, I'm about, I tell you what, I'm about sick of talking about things that Puka Nakua has done on off, off the field.
0:06Guy, guys having one of the all time, most annoying off seasons in, in national football league history.
0:06How are people still taking Jacobs in the fifth?
0:06I refuse to budge until he dropped below pick 100 and couldn't help myself on two best ball drafts.
0:06Just to edge myself, got him at 100 and 104.
0:06Yeah. I mean, I think that's a, that is a fine price for Josh Jacobs.
0:06I mean, I wouldn't say I would be, I certainly am not actively targeting him there, but if you want to take
0:06Josh Jacobs, where Kyle, the nun guy and Woody, like Zach Charbonnet, Zach Charbonnet is, is a terrible pick.
0:06You know, what are we going to do here?
0:06What do I, what am I thinking? And do I want to take, I could maybe try and take, Oh, Juwan's already gone.
0:06Damn tough. Yeah. Jacobs at one 40 is fine.
0:06I mean, your, your one 40 pick is just not going to score points for you all that often.
0:06I agree. I mean, the Kyron stuff is, is kind of nuts that no one wants him.
0:06Like you would think there would be a greater groundswell of people supporting him, but that's just not the way it goes.
0:06Oh man. Are we going to get to take the boy?
0:06Are we going to get to take the red headed tight end wonder?
0:06It looks like we are. There you go. T Ferg.
0:06So we have Matt Stafford, Bo Nix, Ashton, Gentty, Javante Williams, Deandre Swift, Corey Krosky, Merritt, JSN, Devante Adams, Chris Godwin, BTJ, Travis Kelsey, and Terrence Ferguson.
0:06Um, people are saying more and more. We are cooking in this $250 draft.
0:06We're at the point where there's been so much BS this season that everyone has drafted before a week ago is at
0:06least one zero, a hundred percent, 100%. Uh, the sharbs bet is different in the sense that Jacobs would come back and be a starter.
0:06Sharbs is going to be sharbs is going to come back and be a handcuff behind a guy who was just drafted in the first round.
0:06I, I don't, I don't think he, I don't think he's a very good pick.
0:06I'm, I'm frankly not all that interested in taking Zach Charbonnet.
0:06One of the, one of the guys I've drafted least often in fantasy football this year.
0:06Would I drop Caleb Johnson? Uh, I would, I would, if I needed ceiling at the running back position, if I needed
0:06to try and find a starter, I would rather have Caleb Johnson than Najee Harris.
0:06Najee is like, uh, man, if I had to start someone, I guess I really could type bet, but that is about it.
0:06Um, Emmett. Johnson. It's exactly who I'm going to take.
0:06If Chris or kitten doesn't take a mirror in round 13.
0:06Uh, but, but, but, but come on, man. There we go.
0:06Emmett Johnson. You love to see it. No, Bruno Fernandez does indeed look like Adam Levitan's Mediterranean clone.
0:06And frankly, not even really that much different. Maybe, maybe there's a little bit of, uh, of Portuguese in there.
0:06For me, it's about the player behind Kyron. Kyron is a beast, but Korma is even better.
0:06Would rather take Javante with no competition, except the way they were used is, is it's not really, it's not really like
0:06that, you know, the way they like Kyron is still the clear, clear lead back.
0:07They, they, you know, it's like two drives for Kyron, one drive for Corum.
0:07Most of the goal line stuff goes in. Most of the goal line stuff goes the direction.
0:07Of Kyron Williams and Kyron. Kyron is used more in the passing game.
0:07Don't get me wrong. I'm not a huge Kyron guy, but like the way that, uh, the way that Mr.
0:07Clay has them projected is about right to me.
0:07Running back 17, running back 38, 236 carries to 182 carries, 45 targets, 22, by the way, 73 targets for our dude, Terrence Ferguson.
0:07I'm just saying. How many best ball drafts does one need before one starts worrying about exposures?
0:07It's really up to you, brother. So I'll, Oh, the exposures don't matter except for risk tolerance.
0:07That's the, that, that is the only thing that matters.
0:07Uh, because your, your teams have no relationship to one another.
0:07You would drop nausea instead of Ray Davis or Samson.
0:07Yeah, I would, I would rather have Caleb Johnson in a redraft league where I needed ceiling instead of nausea.
0:07I guess if you're, if you're going to have to start nausea early, maybe I would rather drop Ray Davis Samson.
0:07I would not drop. Uh, no, I've never done a high stakes.
0:07Um, auction. Plenty, plenty of high stakes snake drafts, but never done a high stakes auction.
0:07Wow. And they're going to give us, are they going to give us Adnan Mitchell?
0:07That would be, that would be beautiful. The most recent ESPN Chi Chi rankings have T Ferg at one 19 secret is out.
0:07Big fantasy football. Found out about Terrence Ferguson and nothing was the same, which frankly, me personally, I do hate to see.
0:07It's a good. Yeah. Of all the, of all the site specific average draft positions, ESPN does seem the worst.
0:07Although sleeper is not particularly good either. I am in a, I'm in a couple of sleeper leagues and the, like I'm
0:07in a, I'm in a league right now that we do every year with, um, roto Pat and JJ and Raymond Summerlin
0:07and Harmon and, uh, and, and Kyle the board track and stuff like that.
0:07Um, it's, it's, uh, it's, and the, the base ADP is not great sleep.
0:07Yeah. Sleeper has price at like 80 Brooks at like one 30.
0:07It's true. Ben Johnson laughing the field and PRO.
0:07We, we, I mean, we all, we all know that no one seems to be giving Jordan love a bump after the Jacob news.
0:07Love is a higher ceiling than most. Remember, I think most people actually are giving Jordan love a bump.
0:07Uh, depends on, uh, depends on who's 80, whose rankings you're using.
0:07But yes, my, some of my, some of my fellow flock lads are not nearly as in on T burgers.
0:07I am, uh, uh, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, who do I actually, I need a quarterback.
0:07Let's take Gino bang. And you know what? I hate this, but, uh, I'm going to leave you guys with a little
0:07bit of glory from last summer because I got to go pee.
0:07You might be a slappy. Well, you might be a slappy if you cite Travion Henderson as a reason to not take the big dog.
0:07If you've ever drafted Gentty and Hampton as you're running back one and you're running back two, you might be a slappy.
0:07If you've ever drafted Jalen Ward and Miles Sanders together, you might be a slappy.
0:07If you have even conceived of the, the fan and bet, you might be a slappy.
0:07Yeah. It's a hundred degrees outside. So you gotta, you gotta be staying.
0:07You gotta be staying hydrated out here. Who would I take in the sixth and a 10 team home league if I was out on CMC?
0:07Well, I can't answer that question for you because I'm not out on CMC.
0:07I can't conceive of a single reason to be out on Christian McCaffrey in a 10 team league.
0:07The penalty for losing Christian McCaffrey in a 10 team league is lower than it is in a 12 team league because
0:07the degree of, um, player that you can get to replace him is higher.
0:07I, I can't, I can't, I can't help you with that one brother.
0:07Why do I have golden ahead of downs? If downs is competing with Allen, I don't understand the question.
0:07Uh, why don't I have golden ahead of downs of downs?
0:07I don't think Keenan Allen is, is really that relevant.
0:07Uh, how many drafts has this man done? I'm going to guess 500.
0:07Oh brother, you are, you are, I might've done, I might've done 500 drafts this week.
0:07Casual Mike. Uh, well, I assume the reason that Ashton Gentis average draft position is dropping is because he's currently not practicing
0:07with an ankle injury and they held a prayer circle for him.
0:07Here you go. Casual Mike. 2,698 completed drafts as of right now.
0:07$24,874 invested in best ball fantasy football this year.
0:07How many DK Millie's do I have left? I think I have four left.
0:07Four. It's always been Higby season. Do you think Tyler Higby will catch one pass this year?
0:07That's a good line. Will Tyler Higby catch one pass this year?
0:07He might. Um, man, give me Pat Fryer with here.
0:07I think. Fryer with who hunters. Okay. Actually, Omar Cooper jr.
0:07Is okay. Oh no, actually a different players who I'm going to take here.
0:07I'm going to take Kamani Vidal missing tops one or two games for low ankle sprain.
0:07No, I mean, I agree. I, I am happily drafting Ashton Gentie.
0:07Um, Ashton Gentie. I, I'm like, as I said, um, entering into drafts right now to, to select Ashton Gentie more often.
0:07He, he seems like one of the best values on the board right now.
0:07How many passes is C rod catching this year?
0:07Well, he has six in his three year NFL career.
0:07So if he caught six, that would be one of the biggest upsets in fantasy football.
0:07So I'm going to go, I'm going to go Chris Rodriguez, catches five.
0:07Um, give me, you know what? We're going to do a four tight end team.
0:07I'm going to take Sadiq and then I'll end up taking one more.
0:07How can you be? How can I all do respect brother?
0:07I look, I'm happy to take Chris Rodriguez sometimes or whatever, but this isn't, this is a guy.
0:07He had 20 receptions in five years in college.
0:07I don't know, brother. I don't know. He just, he's just no good at it.
0:07Would I take Gentie where he was going before at the one, two turn?
0:07Uh, I would not take him over Walker or chase Brown.
0:07I don't think, but I would happily take him over Derek Henry.
0:07You could convince me to take him over Hampton.
0:07Um, Caleb go in this draft. Yeah. He went kind of early here.
0:07Caleb Johnson went at one 86 in round 16 to Tyler 28.
0:07Henry and HN over Gentie by a lot. I'm hard.
0:07I think hard for me to get there with a Chan because a Chan has some serious, serious team level risk.
0:07What is the non age-based argument for Gentie over Henry?
0:07Gentie was outscoring Henry until week 17 last year.
0:07One, one crazy, crazy game for Henry is making the whole season up.
0:07If the Packers just fucking tackle him once, then it's so funny.
0:07Like Derek Henry would be a fifth round pick basically without that game.
0:07No, no pass catching for Derek Henry. Not even, not even full playing time, you know, 60% of the snaps or whatever.
0:07Um, I have Casey in stripling back to back, LOL.
0:07No stop. I mean, I'm just telling you the reality of the situation.
0:07You don't got to like it, but it is the truth.
0:07Dobbins had more rushing yards than Gentie. That feels right to me.
0:07Gentie, Gentie, like one of the big selling points with Gentie is how good he is as a pass catcher.
0:07Yeah. I mean, obviously anyone, I mean, he, he can score a lot of times.
0:07Derek Henry is a fine pick. It's just like, he is more likely than any player around him to be playing his final season.
0:07Um, of his career. So that argument means you'd rather take Kyron over Henry.
0:07I mean, I think Kyron probably scores more fantasy points on average than Derek Henry.
0:07But Derek Henry has much more spikes in his range of outcomes.
0:07So in terms of how things go in the modal range of outcomes, they're better for Kyron, but the mega spikes favor Henry.
0:07Kyron, Kyron has a much safer floor than Derek Henry.
0:07I mean, Derek Henry scored under Derek Henry scored single digit points.
0:07I think five times last year. And I don't, I don't believe Kyron did once.
0:07Uh, uh, I mean, no, you're wrong, but who is the most relevant player?
0:07You are most unsure about minus Marvin Harrison or Al Pierce.
0:07Most relevant player. I'm unsure about. Actually, it's probably Barkley.
0:07Because Barkley was Barkley was so bad last year.
0:07Like just looked like he was running an absolute quicksand, but you've got, you've got Petulo out of there.
0:07Like, I don't know. Things, things are trending in a better direction for him.
0:07Honestly, Drake London, the player, I feel, um, perfectly fine about it, but the, the quarterback situation doesn't feel that great.
0:07The last two weeks, 17 games. And since he had been 50s, 60s, or otherwise, Oh, you better draft Eric Henry, brother.
0:07Don't you know about, don't you know about D Hember?
0:07Come on, dude. Don't you know about D Hember?
0:07Better draft, better draft him. Gunner Helm round 19 feels pretty good.
0:07Honestly, I think it's fair to question Ken Walker's ADP.
0:07Why all of a sudden is expected this guy will stay healthy the whole year.
0:07Um, he's mostly been healthy in his NFL. I don't, I don't know.
0:07Why do people think that I have the answer to if Ken Walker is going to be healthy when he's been healthy
0:07every year, but one year of his career, I don't become responsible for Kenneth Walker being listed as questionable.
0:07When you had him on your fantasy team two years ago, just because he plays for the chiefs.
0:07Now seven single digit gente games last year, 4.5 for Henry last year.
0:07Well, yeah, someone asked about Kyron. Gente has gente is going to have a similar low floor.
0:07He just has so much more of, um, he just has so much more passing game work.
0:07What are my thoughts on handcuffing Gibbs and redraft handcuffing him with who?
0:07I don't think, I don't think he has a handcuff.
0:07If I, if I knew who the Detroit lions handcuff was, maybe I, maybe I would do it, but I don't know.
0:07I don't know who it is. Derek Henry was the mythical 50 points in week 17 player last year and give us a full season beside it.
0:07And people still racing to be the first one out on him.
0:07Hey, I draft, I draft Derek Henry. Same way.
0:07I draft everyone else. When he's my highest ranked player, I take him 5.9% Derek Henry, 159 Derek Henry teams.
0:07That feels, that feels about right. All right. Who's my final pick here?
0:07Three, six, six, four Stafford. Knicks, Gino, gente, Javante, Swift, JCM, Emma Johnson, Kamani by Dell, JSN, Devante Adams, Chris Godwin, Brian Thomas, Jr.
0:07Adnan Mitchell and Jeremy. But honestly, I need an extra wide receiver.
0:07It's a pretty dusty room. Uh, my, my dog is hating, hating the heat.
0:07Uh, she is not allowed down here though. This, this, the, the downstairs situation in my house is, is cooked for, for dog inhabitants.
0:07I am, I'm just going to go ahead and guess that this is one of the things that is not true.
0:07The people say is true, but it's not true.
0:07Kenneth Walker's first two years in the league. He played 15 and 15 games.
0:07So not true that he missed 10 games. His first two years in the league, he missed two games, two games missed.
0:07Uh, yeah. Taekwon good pick there. Stafford, Bo Nix, Gino Smith, Ashton, Gentie, Javante Williams, Deandre Swift, JCM, Emmett Johnson, Kamani, Vidal,
0:07JSN, Devante Adams, Chris Godwin, Brian Thomas, Jr. Adonai Mitchell, Jeremy Bernard, Taekwon Thornton, Travis Kelsey, T-Ferg, Kenyon Sadiq, and Gunnar Helm.
0:07Uh, shout out to my friends at drafters. I'm going to go to my friends at drafters.
0:07Sign up over there. Using code Davis, 100% deposit bonus, GM, GM.
0:07Let's head back on over to underdog. You guys want to do a great Dane?
0:07I'll do a great Dane. $250? Am I just making stuff up?
0:07He missed 10 games. I'm looking at it right here.
0:07I'm looking at it on Pro Football Reference. He, 15, 15, this year he did get hurt, and then 17 games last year.
0:071,200 yards, nine touchdowns, 11,000 yards, nine touchdowns, 800 yards, and eight touchdowns in 11 games.
0:071,300 yards, five touchdowns. All right. We, uh, we gotta, we gotta fill this quick because I have to leave to go
0:07do, I have to leave and go do the Swolecast at 2 p.m.
0:07Central. So we gotta fill this. If we don't fill it, I'm gonna end the stream.
0:07That's how she goes. Fair's fair, I think. Fourth pick in PPR redraft went Puka and Gentty Rice.
0:07Yeah, it's a good team. I had a prayer circle for Jaden Blue this morning.
0:07All right. Shout out to Blake. That is 10 games over three years, right?
0:07Yeah, that is 10 games over three years. Can't, can't draft, can't draft Ken Walker, dude.
0:07Can't draft him. Can't draft him. He got, what, what was his injury?
0:07I don't even know. Kenneth Walker injury history. Uh, Kenneth Walker had a grade two ankle sprain in December of 2024.
0:08In August of 2025, he sat out a few practices for foot soreness.
0:08Um, he had an abdominal strain that didn't cause him to miss any time.
0:08He, he did miss a couple of weeks of practice in July of 2023.
0:08I gotta be honest, guys. Kenneth Walker does not strike me as someone that you guys would all be freaking out as injury prone.
0:08It's been one of the weirdest. And maybe I just have not had Kenneth Walker in managed leagues enough times.
0:08Like maybe if, maybe if I had had Kenneth Walker in managed leagues a bunch of times, I would be really worried about him staying healthy.
0:08But I'm, I'm, I'm just really, I'm just really not that worried about it.

0:08I don't think Monty has missed 10 games total in his career.
0:08And someone in chat said he got hurt every year.
0:08People do be saying anything. This isn't going to fill anytime soon to a Rottweiler.
0:08Well, here's the deal. I'll give you guys all five minutes, five minutes.
0:08I will, I will go type in the various chats and see if we can fill it.
0:08All right. I typed in ship chasing. I typed in the sloppy central discord.
0:08And I typed in the deposit kingdom. Bill Simmons said he can't trust canine because of injuries.
0:08Is that where people are getting it? On a scale of one to 10, how spooked are we by Jamar Chase limited this week?
0:08Uh, zero. Zero. I am. I am not scared.
0:08The Seahawks let him walk partly because of his health.
0:08Well, I don't know. Yes. Um, I don't know.
0:08They probably let him go. Cause he was asking for a lot of money.
0:08I had Walker and Gentie last year in redraft.
0:08And it was the most stressful year of my young life.
0:08Tough, tough. I think it's fair to give everyone five minutes to hop into the great thing.
0:08I think that is completely fair and reasonable of me.
0:08I don't think they let him go because they have George Alani.
0:08Yeah. I mean, you would, you would rather have, you would definitely rather have Rashid Shaheed as an NFL team.
0:08Rashid Shaheed is so much more useful of an NFL player, right?
0:08Shaheed is like an all pro level kick returner and the chiefs offered him a ton of money.
0:08And the, I mean, the chiefs want him, right?
0:08Like Kansas city finished dead last three straight years in team level explosive run, right?
0:08I mean, let's just, let's just look at the PFF grid for some of these Kansas city teams.
0:08It's insane. Oh no, dude. I finally got the updated PFF.
0:08I might have to cancel this. Oh, this is so annoying.
0:08By team. Have you guys gotten the updated PFF yet?
0:08It is impossible to find anything. Uh, except that I was going to say the chiefs actual team run grades won't be
0:08that bad because the offensive line is so good.
0:08Uh, they were middle of the pack and Oh, wait, that's the preseason.
0:08All right. The chiefs last year were 21st in team run grade.
0:08And 2024, they were 15th and run grade in 2023.
0:08They were probably pretty good actually. Yeah. Yeah. They were, they were average in all these years.
0:08Cause the success rates really high. Yeah. This is the, I was going to say it's the, it's the success rate that
0:08was, um, keeping them up there, but they, they, in terms of it, is there a way to filter by team explosive run rate?
0:08You know what? I can't show you guys this, but I have the, I have, um, the fancy, the fancy stats that Jacob Gibbs uses.
0:08I have the, the true media stuff now. So I bet I can, there's definitely some way for me to look up team level explosive run rate.
0:08But I don't know how to do it. Cause it's so brand new to me.
0:08I had to pay, I had to pay a thousand bucks for this stuff.
0:08So I really, uh, I really hope it ends up being more foot.
0:08Uh, team level rushing, rushing. Can I add explosive run rate?
0:08I probably can't. Well, I I'm sure I can.
0:08I just don't know how to do it. Add stats, explosive.
0:08Oh, there you go. Explosive rushes. All right. Last year, the Kansas city chiefs had 23 explosive rushes.
0:08And if I do explosive, explosive rush percentage, percentage, the Kansas city chiefs were 5.3% tied for dead last with the Tennessee Titans.
0:08The Baltimore Ravens were first with 11%. The Kansas city chiefs tied for dead last 5.3%.
0:08So bad. If Charbonnet didn't get hurt, we would be saying super bowl MVP, Zach Charbonnet.
0:08God, I hope not. Phantom injury. Talk aside. People forget how elite Walker was in Michigan state.
0:08He was, he was awesome. Yeah, it's true. MF and doke Walker award winner.
0:08Henry should be better this year with Lamar fully healthy and running.
0:08I mean, theoretically, I just don't, I don't think the fact of the matter is no one knows anyone, anyone who is so, so confident.
0:08I just, here's the thing. This is, this is not fair.
0:08I just, I'm not giving this to you. I'm not, this is, this is straight up.
0:08This is straight up. Not fair because then you could just say that about anyone because it's anyone who has ever suffered
0:08an injury 10 games in two years. Devante Adams missed 10 games in two years because he had turf toe one year
0:08or, or, uh, say, you know, Barkley. Oh, Barkley tours ACL.
0:08Barkley missed 17 games in two years because he tours ACL.
0:08Not, not going with it. If sharp didn't get hurt, Kenneth Walker would be a fourth round pick.
0:08Uh, but he still, well, he was, he was for sure leaving.
0:08All right. While we're waiting, we need four more for this great day.
0:08And I'm going to go run the stat head filter.
0:08For players of Derek Henry's age. Cause now I'm actually curious.
0:08Derek Henry is how old? Uh, Derek Henry is, so he's age 33 season.
0:08So we'll go descending. PPR points per game. We'll go any era.
0:08We'll go running back and we'll go biographical filter age.
0:0833 and 34. And I will go, I'm not going to, I'm not going to put in any, or I'll go, I'll go rush attempts over one, right?
0:08Rush attempts over one. Cause now I am, I'm, I am legitimately curious.
0:08John Riggins, 18 points per game. Walter Payton, 16 points per game.
0:08John Henry Johnson. In 1962, 15 points per game.
0:08MacArthur lane, Marcus Allen, Fred Jackson. Hey, Frank Gore, 13 points per game.
0:08Dick Todd in 1948, Franco Harris, Joe Perry, Ken Carpenter, Adrian Peterson, John Henry Johnson.
0:08Again, work done. Larry Janka, Larry centers, D'Angelo Williams, Ernest Byer, Otis Anderson, Walter Payton.
0:08And again, Frank Gore, Darren Sproles, John Riggins. Looks like this year led the national football league in attempts.
0:08I think 1982 was a strike year. Uh, okay.
0:08Yeah, we'll run. We'll run here. I'll change the criteria.
0:08We'll go age 32, age 33. Cause I guess that actually is the writer.
0:08That's the, that's the correct band band. Walter Payton, priest Holmes, Walter Payton.
0:08Again, John Henry Johnson, Ricky Williams for Miami, Otis Anderson, Bobby Mitchell, Fred Jackson, D'Angelo Williams.
0:08Again, Mike Anderson, Lamar Smith, Fred Jackson, Lenny Moore, Marshawn Lynch for Oakland in 2018, Jerome Bettis, Herschel Walker.
0:08Yeah, you know, it's fine. That was the oldest he'd ever been.
0:08That's true. That's very, that's very wise. Mike Anderson, truly crazy story.
0:08Dude, some of those, some of those running backs for the Mike Shanahan teams.
0:08Well, we wait for this to start some of these running backs for the Mike Shanahan teams, bro.
0:08These Denver teams. Look at some of these running backs, dude.
0:08Sammy wander. 1985, 1986. I mean, he would just turn anyone into the goat.
0:08I don't even remember this Sammy wanderer guy. I don't even, I also don't remember when he was an OC.
0:08All right, let's, let's start with the Denver stuff year 2000 for Denver, Mike Anderson and Terrell Davis, Alanis.
0:08Alanis, Gary. Life was simpler than dude. I, uh, no, I am, I am, I am not too young to remember Christian.
0:08Also the youngest he'll ever be in the future.
0:08That's true. And some, there were some crazy names for these Denver Broncos, Clinton Portis.
0:08Where does, where does my guy quit? Quentin Griffin got a cup of coffee with this team.
0:08One year. Here you go. My guy, Quentin Griffin boomer fricking sooner, dude.
0:08I, oh man, do Ruben drones, Tatum bell, Garrison Hurst.
0:08You love to see it, dude. Mike Anderson comes back around again.
0:08I love remembering some guys. All right. Two more for this great Dane.
0:08Most ever passing touchdowns from a running back. Well, we can, we can look that up.
0:08Most ever passing touchdowns from running back. Do we think it's Walter Payton with eight?
0:08No Sean Moreno. Uh, I mean, they drafted Adam Randall.
0:08Who's pretty good. All right. We are, if we, if this, you know what, this is not going to fill.
0:08We are, if this does not fill in the next 60 sentence, if this is not okay, we need one more, one more for the great Dane.
0:08This has got to fill one more. Come on guys.
0:08There we go. All right. We did it. I was going to say, I literally was going to leave in 60 seconds, but we just filled it.
0:08$250 fantasy football draft, the great Dane. And we are drafting out of the 1.6.
0:08So, you know, could be better. Could be worse.
0:08I guess Christian McCaffrey for 250 bucks. Never say never.
0:08Yeah. Randall Randall is on the designated for return.
0:08I are. All right. Uh, what do we want?
0:08We want. Find. Most players in a combined season matching criteria, running back.
0:08Any. Either. Statistical filter. Passing touchdown. Greater than one.
0:08Of all time. 27. A bunch of guys have 27.
0:08What the fuck? I've never seen it sorted like this before.
0:08Jerome Bettis had eight. That can't be right. Number of players that meet the.
0:08Okay. No, this. Okay. I did this wrong. Oh, for a team.
0:08Fine. Combine. Okay. Nevermind. I did that wrong. This is, this will be the better filter.
0:08Hold on. I got to take Christian McCaffrey on this other tab.
0:08Back to what really matters in the $250 draft.
0:08Okay. Christian McCaffrey. Here we go. Here we go.
0:08Uh, Ernie Nevers, Jack McGride, and Patty Driscoll. Dave Smoker.
0:08Frank Gifford. Okay. Frank Gifford was actually legitimate running back.
0:08Bronco Nagurski, Bob Horschenmeyer, Tuffy Lemons, Doug Wickoff. LaDainian had seven.
0:08Frank Gifford, uh, played for the Giants. And he, he was legitimately a running back.
0:08840 career carries, 3,600 yards, but did also have 29 pass attempts and 14 passing touchdowns.
0:08Shout out to my goat, Frank Gifford. Some say Adam Randall is 2028 Marshawn Lloyd.
0:08I'm sorry, dude. You're not getting better than Bronco Nagurski or Patty Driscoll or Jack McBride or Ernie Nevers.
0:08All right. Bang. Well, let's do ourself a little $250.
0:08Whoa. I just totally messed up my window. All right.
0:08Let's do ourselves a nice little $250 great day in draft here.
0:08Let's draft a shipper. We were drafting with Renegades, Joker, Goods, Maximus, Never Julio.
0:08Nice TBT there. Birch Tree, Chris, N. Bushinger, FF Links, SS, JSD, and a long string of numbers.
0:08Uh, where would Frank Gifford go? If he was a Giants running back right now, he'd go on my team.
0:08I actually read a book, uh, where Frank Gifford was a central character because I read a book by Frederick Exley called a fan's notes.
0:08That is about a guy who's a big New York Giants fan, I guess in the sixties, the fifties or whatever.
0:08And, uh, Frank Gifford was, was prominently involved. Now the question is, are they going to let me take Ashton Gentry in this draft?
0:08The answer is probably going to be no, because Chris is going to take Hampton and then Birch Tree is, Oh, no, here we go.
0:08Bang. They're going to give me Amari and Hampton.
0:08I still have Hampton ranked over Gentry. What a start.
0:08They're going to let me win the great Dane.
0:08$25,000 that easy. That's crazy, dude. Also, I have got to get something to use as a blindfold because in my next
0:08show, when we go to the Swolecast here in what?
0:0935 minutes, 45 minutes, I will be drafting a best ball mania team blindfolded.
0:09Peter is going to draft for me and I will be drafting, uh, blindfolded ever read one knee equals two feet.
0:09I have not. Imagine getting hit so hard. You missed two NFL seasons.
0:09Not only that tank, they'll got hit by his own teammates.
0:09So hard that he missed two NFL seasons. Um, well, I mean, I would also happily take Rashi rice here.
0:09I would happily take Javante here. Okay. Well, I would also happily take Jeremiah love here, which is what I'm going to do.
0:09What a start dude. God, we are fricking cooking.
0:09What is my favorite penguin classic? I don't know.
0:09I got some on my shelf right now. What is my favorite penguin classic?
0:09I wouldn't even, I wouldn't even know where to begin.
0:09Moby Dick. The brothers, Karamazov. The death of Socrates is a good one.
0:09If you want to read quickly, the Canterbury tales.
0:09I mean, penguin classics are fire, dude. Let's see which ones I have on my shelf right now.
0:09Here you go. We've got Plato's Republic. That is a penguin classic.
0:09That's an old penguin classic design. We have the birth of tragedy.
0:09Frederick Nietzsche. And. Karl Marx's capital. Volume one. All.
0:09All great. All classics. And the, and the, the classics are classic.
0:09Has anyone read Moby Dick? I read Moby Dick this year, brother.
0:09I read Moby Dick while drafting 2,600 fantasy teams and raising a small child.
0:09So, so what is your excuse? What is your excuse to not read brother?
0:09Freaking Luther burden, dude. Are you kidding me? We are, we are.
0:09Cooking. They, they want to, they, they want me.
0:09They want me. They want me to be $25,000 richer.
0:09I did see this. I don't, I don't have the, I don't actually have the ability to do this on my app
0:09yet to be, to be part of the, the, the card rips.
0:09Uh, yeah. Huge, huge. Dostoevsky reader. Um, I've got more back there on that show.
0:09This is, I, I have two bookshelves. These are, these are, uh, just my, these are my display books back there.
0:09Um, yeah, I've read crime and punishment. Um, and I've read the brothers care, Masa.
0:09I thought that's all I've read though. I haven't read the gamble or I read notes from the underground when I was in college.
0:09Uh, I've read the stranger and I've read the myth of Sisyphus in terms of Camu, but that's it.
0:09Uh, are they going to give me JMO here?
0:09Cause I would love to take Jameson Williams with this next pick.
0:09They do not give me JMO. They don't even give me Parker Washington, dude.
0:09All right. We're, we're steering into the skid. I'm taking Judarian price.
0:09Good karma for waiting the extra 60 seconds. That's true.
0:09Uh, I've not read the devil's chessboard. Uh, I have, I mean, the idiot is on that shelf back there, but I have not read that yet.
0:09Have I read Bolgakov? No, I've not. Bol, God, God, Mikhail, a Russian Soviet novelist and playwright, the master in the margarita,
0:09heart of a dog, a young doctor's notebook. Uh, no, but I'm in, I'm in.
0:09I will, I will add this. I will add this dude.
0:09I will add this dude to my list. Mr.
0:09Spinoza. Have you read Spinoza? Spinoza. I've not, I've not read him.
0:09He, uh, there's a, there's this YouTube channel. I believe his name is Jared Henderson.
0:09It's like a, it's like a philosophy YouTube channel.
0:09And he has like a, a sick, uh, like philosophy.
0:09Like this is, he's, um, like a graduate, uh, like a, he's like a philosophy professor.
0:09And he's like, this is the reading list for my students.
0:09And Spinoza was one of the ones that he had on his reading list.
0:09Any John Marsden, as in the character from Red Dead Redemption.
0:09I mean, if we're talking video games and all time, great video game.
0:09Uh, the red, the red rising series is a lot of, a lot of folks have recommended that to me.
0:09I gotta be honest. I have a hard time reading popular fiction.
0:09Um, these days it's, uh, it's tough. Do I want to take Marvin Harrison Jr.
0:09Here? I, I honestly really don't. I, I probably am going to cause structurally I just, frick man.
0:09Well, this is how you get yourself in trouble.
0:09I'm going to take Caleb Williams and I'm going to have to figure this out.
0:09Uh, wow. Shout out a PhD in philosophy. You know, I just, I was taking a walk with my wife this morning.
0:09We were walking the dog and I did. Oh, that's, that's Marston.
0:09Yes, that's Marston. Thank you. I was, I was walking, I was walking with my dog this morning or I'm walking my wife and my dog this morning.
0:09And I told her, I was like, you know, if I could really, if I could really do it all over, would
0:09I do this job that I'm doing now? And honestly, honestly, the answer is probably not.
0:09I really think if I could do it all over again, I would have gotten my doctorate in English literature and just,
0:09you know, worked at some small Northeastern liberal arts school and just like waited for the world to end.
0:09I think is probably what I would do. Not that I, not that I, uh, dislike my job and it like, I, I love this.
0:09I love hanging out with you guys, but the, the older that I get, the more I am like, man, there's really
0:09something to that life that my life, uh, does, does not have.
0:09Uh, all right. What am I going to do here?
0:09I got to take a wide receiver. I mean, just literally any wide receiver, any wide receiver who's alive.
0:09I'm content. I'm also contemplating. Do I just take Marshall and Lloyd?
0:09I can't, I can't take Marshall and Lloyd. I'm going to take QJ who I never take, but I'm going to take the ADP value on QJ there.
0:09Sounds like my plan would have led me straight to fantasy football.
0:09It's easy to read so many books on library credits.
0:09Easy to choose that life with side credits. Uh, someone said, Oh, do I like any Bethesda games?
0:09Um, I mean, I've not played video games in a long time, but I played fallout new Vegas whenever it was super popular.
0:09And when the fallout TV show came out, I really wanted to play fallout.
0:09The issue is, is I just have no time, but I would, I, if I, if I had an infinite amount of
0:09time, I for sure would play fallout. Fallout TV show is great.
0:09Big fan. Um, I probably don't need a fifth running back on this team, but I'll probably take one anyway.
0:09I'll still probably take Emmett Johnson on this team.
0:09I've never played fantasy this year, but I want to play this year.
0:09Where's a good free to play app or site to get on.
0:09and you can go to flock fantasy.com and do a bunch of mock drafts.
0:09If you'd like, I know you, do you, do you have more job security doing this?
0:09I'm pretty, I'm, I would say my profession is probably very sensitive to a recession.
0:09If there was like a real insane recession, fantasy football subscriptions would go way, way down.
0:09Well, Yosh circle back on this because something I've been thinking about is since I've learned so much about, I have, have
0:09learned so much about YouTube from working with Mason, that something that I want to do is start like a literature, uh, style YouTube channel.
0:09Uh, I'm going to take Stefan Diggs. I would, I would love to start basically like a, a great books YouTube channel
0:09where, you know, it's basically just like, these are the books to read.
0:09These are, this is my review of meditations. This is my review of Moby Dick.
0:09This is my reading guide to Kurt Vonnegut. This is, uh, how to read lot 49 or whatever.
0:09I just think, I think that would be, um, so, so fun.
0:09I think it would be, I think it would be really cool.
0:09My buddy, Michael Burns has a YouTube channel that is similar to Jared Penner's, Michael Burns, YouTube, 213,000 subscribers.
0:09Shout out to, shout out to Michael Burns, philosophy, politics, and culture.
0:09It's over the literacy crisis. It's worse than you think.
0:09Fuck. Fuck. Yeah, dude. All right. I'm in, I'm in on Michael Burns.
0:09Have you read Seneca's essay on the shortness of life?
0:09Yes, I have. I have read all of the stoic literature.
0:09Uh, my home's still on the board. My homes is off.
0:09I'm going to take Michael Pittman, Jr. I was going to take worthy, but I need to set up a stack.
0:09Uh, do I read Von and get to your kid at bedtime?
0:09So my son, when he was really little, when he was like two months, three months, four months, I was reading Moby
0:09Dick and I was reading the Spake Zarathustra. So when it was time for him to go down for his nap, I
0:09would read to him just what I was reading.
0:09And he, uh, he loved it because he didn't need, he doesn't know what I'm reading, but now my son is older
0:09and he has thoughts and feelings and opinions, you know?
0:09So he, he wants to read good night moon, which, and I'm happy to do it.
0:09Who is the chargers tight end to own? His name is Charlie Collar.
0:09We call it boarding the, the, the collar express.
0:09Have you ever had a best ball nightmare? Yes, for sure.
0:09Cause there are some nights when I am just behind on drafting and I'm drafting until I go to sleep.
0:09Yeah. My, my son is not that old, but yes, you, you would be, you would be very, very, very surprised how
0:09soon your kids start getting opinions about things. High stakes, 18 man league, one quarterback, two running back, three wide receiver, one tight end, two flex.
0:09How would I attack that structurally? Frankly, that's actually the literal perfect format on this earth to draft zero running back.
0:09That, that is tilted so hard towards zero. Running back.
0:09Like you, you want at least one really strong running back, but that it's a really, really good format for it.
0:09Um, I assume Marshawn Lloyd's gotta be gone, right?
0:09Yeah. Marshawn Lloyd is gone. Worthy came all the way back around.
0:09Yeah. I'm going to take Xavier worthy. Easy to pick Xavier worthy.
0:09Pick one 15 on site credits, click, clack, moo cows, that type underrated.
0:09There you go. All children are completely underestimated in terms of intelligence and awareness.
0:09He's very aware. I will, I will say this.
0:09He, the kid, the kid knows what's going on around him.
0:09He's got, he's got lots of opinions about shit.
0:09If I were, if I were to try and read him Plato today, he would be like, brother, I don't want this.
0:09I would have to do, I would have to do some real special voices.
0:09I'd have to really, I'd have to really ham it up.
0:09Maybe the transubstantiation of all values will get him to prefer Nietzsche over a good night moon.
0:09Well, you know, it's really my fault. It's really my fault because I, I, you know, when you, when you read these
0:09things in an academic tone, that's not like Nate, you're an eight month old.
0:09It's not going to vibe with that. Frankly, TJ Hawkinson has got to be like my least favorite guy to draft in, in fantasy football.
0:09All right. Um, I need to start thinking about a second quarterback.
0:09I also need to start thinking about a tight end.
0:09I'm just not taking Isaiah likely in a $250 draft.
0:09I'm not doing it. Stafford. I mean, Stafford is like an advanced rate guy here.
0:09What's the advanced rate structure here? 412 to a one of four to an 11 person final.
0:09Okay. Stafford win. Anyways, I'm going to select Dallas.
0:09Goddard. It's my first tight end. And this is probably going to be a three tight end team.
0:09Uh, I'm trying to decide between the Rottweiler or the Doberman.
0:09I have not looked at the Doberman structure. Go with, uh, go with God, bro.
0:09People thought they couldn't draft McBride because of Kyler yet are lining up to draft Hawkinson.
0:09Was Jacobs a gift there? I'm just, I'm not certain.
0:09Maybe he is. Maybe I'm, maybe I'm being too scared.
0:09The thing is, this is I just already, cause I was drafting a good amount of him before.
0:09So I'm just not that into drafting Jacobs. Now the Doberman double entry, $50,000 to first Doberman looks like a sick contest.
0:09Honestly, I guess I'm going to have to find a way to do.
0:09Am I going to take Zabie and Thomas on this team?
0:09I might Doberman Doberman structure looks pretty nice to me.
0:09$55 entry, 3,960, four of 12, one of five, one of four to a 66 person final.
0:09They have the German shepherd, $10,000 to first. The Rottweilers, a four entry max.
0:09Hey, it's a great day to draft fantasy football teams.
0:09My guys, this team is Caleb Williams, Christian McCaffrey, Amarian Hampton, Jeremiah Love, Jadarian Price, Love and Price, Burden, QJ, Diggs, Pittman, Worthy, and Goddard.
0:09Juwan Johnson is already gone. So I, there's really no point in taking shock.
0:09I mean, this is just a range of the draft that is so not fun.
0:09I don't, I don't like a single player in my queue right now.
0:09These guys all stink. And I'd like my second tight end to be a stack.
0:09Um, I mean, Coke, Coker is fine. Shahid is fine.
0:09Let's do Coker is week 17 correlation. We'll do Coker who I like never really take.
0:09Thought I was about done. And then they dropped all these new content.
0:10That's how they always get you. The green Bay DA just said they have the video and it corroborates the victim's claim about the garage.
0:10Not great. I hope you were wrong about likely.
0:10I have 20% to me. This could be second on the giants and catches.
0:10It could be. What do I know? You're talking to a guy who would rather read 2000 year old books than talk to Isaiah likely.
0:10There's certainly people who know more about fantasy football than I do.
0:10Who? Like Isaiah likely. Why did the Jacoby lane hype die after all the recent news has been favorable for him?
0:10Because it's not new. There's, there's nothing new under the sun, brother.
0:10You gotta, you gotta go to whatever the new hype.
0:10Stuff is. If it's not new, no one cares.
0:10It's all about what's new. Jacoby lane. Jacoby lane.
0:10Hasn't had a touchdown reception for people to look at in like two weeks.
0:10Uh, I did a video with Hayden winks of Yahoo fantasy football in the 2027 first round.
0:10If you're, if you're actually interested. On what my, my first round will look like.
0:10Feels like a good spot to take Denzel Boston.
0:10Actually, you know what? Come on, dude. Come on T Ferg at one 50.
0:10Why are so many bad people good at football?
0:10I mean, I think it's because probably most like the, the subset of the world's population that ends up playing football.
0:10It's just, you know, it's like a, it's just a very aggressive, violent culture.
0:10Like these are, these are due to hit people.
0:10That's the job, you know, shouldn't really be that surprising.
0:10It's true. Players who aren't good at football have great seasons all the time.
0:10I like Davis. Cause he's an IRL Fahrenheit four 51 character.
0:10Is that, is that a nag or not? Someone told me that I reminded them of the kid from blood Meridian.
0:10And I was like, that can't be good. Also true.
0:10If you're super rich, you are allowed to do bad things with, with light consequences.
0:10That's very real. Could be steroids. Could be a lot of reasons.
0:10I mean, there's, there's probably, there's, there's probably, uh, there's like a great research paper in that.
0:10I would imagine like, I'm sure. And I'm frankly, I'm sure someone has written it.
0:10Someone had to have written the, um, the, like, this is why football players are like more likely to be violent than like the population article.
0:10Um, I'm going to take Rogers here. And if Bryce comes back around, he comes back around, but I like Rogers for fantasy more than Bryce young.
0:10I think. Well, there you go. Stat addict NFL players are, are arrested at a lower rate than the center population.
0:10That's probably, frankly, it's, it's probably one of those.
0:10It's like a selection bias thing. Wherein. You don't read.
0:10Well, I mean, I don't, I don't read my local news about who's getting arrested in my neighborhood every single day.
0:10So it feels more jarring. When an NFL player is in the spotlight, it's a, or a survivorship bias thing, maybe.
0:10Yeah. And I guess the, the, this, so this is actually a good point, which is that the general NFL populations rather
0:10large, what 52 or 53 times 32. So at any given time, there's like roughly a 1700 active NFL players.
0:10It's a decent amount of population. Okay. A decent, a decent, uh, subset size.
0:10Yeah. Oh, Billy Bob getting arrested does not generate clicks as much as Josh Jacobs getting arrested does.
0:10Uh, I also lied. I'm not, I'm not taking, I'm not taking Bryce young.
0:10I'm not into it. What I will do is I will take Omar Cooper jr.
0:10And if Gino gets all the way back around to me, I'll think about it.
0:10How many more BBM entries do you have? I think 19.
0:10So I've got Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday to draft all the rest of my best ball mania entries.
0:10It feels like a higher percentage in their sports.
0:10I, I don't, I don't know if, I don't know if we would, I don't know if we would know that.
0:10Cause I don't know if we're the subset of people to pay attention.
0:10You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know.
0:10I don't know if, if, I mean, certainly there are plenty of NBA players who have gotten in trouble for domestic violence stuff.
0:10I don't know about NHL. I mean, I, and the MLB has had their stuff too, like the wonder Franco stuff.
0:10And all, I mean, all kinds of, you know, DUIs and all that stuff.
0:10All right. What do I need to finish out this team?
0:10Caleb Williams, Aaron Rogers, Christian McCaffrey, Amarian Hampton, Jeremiah Love, Peter Burden, Quinton Johnston, Stephon Diggs, Michael Pittman, Jr.
0:10Xavier Worthy, Jalen Coker, Omar Cooper, Dallas Goddard, T Berg.
0:10Geno Smith did not come back to me. Geno Smith went unstacked, uncorrelated to a guy drafting a three, six, one over in the corner and brick.
0:10And it Johnson did not make it to me either, which I personally hate to see.
0:10And I'm going to take Kenyon Sadiq with this pick because this tight end room needs a little bit of ceiling.
0:10Jeremy, Jeremy, we might not even get him. Not might not even get a chance to take Jeremy, which is a bummer.
0:10So where'd all the shiny new toys go? Malik Davis went at 181.
0:10Emma Johnson went at 177. Where did Marshawn Lloyd go in this?
0:10Marshawn Lloyd went at 83. 83 is a good price for Marshawn Lloyd.
0:10Chuba Hubbard back up to 87. Menunga at 105.
0:10JCM at 101. Dang. Are you aware of the crime stack linked to lead back from when lead was in gasoline?
0:10I have seen that. Yeah, it's insane. Anyone from the flock league now on peptides?
0:10I don't know. It's a good question. Tiger getting arrested made the PGA population arrests higher than the general pop.
0:10What about Scotty? The Scotty arrest. That was an all timer.
0:10All right. Well, we are going to take Jeremy, assuming I don't get sniped directly ahead of me.
0:10Fading, fading one pick until we add in Mr.
0:10Jeremy Bernard. And we have one final selection with a two, four, eight, three.
0:10I don't think I'm going to take a quarterback.
0:10I think I'm just going to let it ride.
0:10And my plan is to take a guy who absolutely sucks.
0:10It really was the Scotty thing really was, like truly an all timer.
0:10It was absolutely, absolutely wild. And he's still like, when he still shot, like, uh, I mean, he still finished T10 that weekend.
0:10He didn't play. He didn't play that well that day, but I guess that happens.
0:10All right. Well, did I make any obvious mistakes here?
0:10I mean, maybe I should have taken Christian Watson over price.
0:10Getting QJ at 78 was pretty nice. I never, I never had a chance to take Herbert.
0:10Maybe instead of Michael Pittman jr, I should have taken Kyler Murray or Bo Nix.
0:10So I could have set up back door. Hey, respect my goat Rome.
0:10Pierre strong hype. Feels like in this structure, you really want three quarterbacks.
0:10Well, it's too late. Shouldn't, if it's a little bit easier to advance, doesn't getting the third quarterback score matter a little bit less?
0:10Maybe, maybe that's wrong, but the, the barrier to advance is a little bit less.
0:10So theoretically you could eat a week of both your quarterbacks missing or something.
0:10I don't know if that's true. I would need, I would need one of my quantitatives to do, to do that analysis.
0:10Saints only have four healthy receivers. Is that true?
0:10Don't they have Barry and Brown and, and Bryce Lance?
0:10I mean, they'll claim someone and they have Jalen Cropper, Moreno and Trey Palmer on their practice squad.
0:10I hope Trey Palmer doesn't wake up pissed off.
0:10All right. Are you guys ready for me to spend $250 to do a bit?
0:10Bang. Caleb Johnson, Caleb Williams, Aaron Rogers, Christian McCaffrey, Amarian Hampton, Jeremiah Love, Jadarian Price, Caleb Johnson, Luther Burden, Quentin Johnston, Stephon
0:10Diggs, Michael Pittman Jr., Xavier Worthy, Jalen Coker, Omar Cooper, Jeremy Bernard, Dallas Goddard, Terrence Ferguson, and Ken, Jan, Sadiq.
0:10That's going to do it for me here on the Davis Matic Best Ball Channel.
0:10I'm going to go draft a fantasy football team with a blindfold on.
0:10So I'm going to have a blindfold on. Peter's going to do the clicking for me, and we are going to draft
0:10a fantasy football team on the Swolecast. That's going to start in 18 minutes, and I will see you guys then.
