Insight pageCyrus Allen
NegativeInjury32:35
Cyrus Allen returned to practice but was not in pads, indicating he is not yet at full participation.
Insight pageDenzel Boston
PositiveBreakout86:28
Mattek is buying the summer news that Denzel Boston looks significantly better than Jerry Jeudy, suggesting Jeudy may be 'dust' and unlikely to return to previous production levels.
Insight pageEli Stowers
PositiveRole4:54
With Devonta Smith and Makai Lemon missing practice due to hamstring injuries, Eli Stowers has a path to increased field time. Stowers is expected to compete for a role near the line of scrimmage and over the middle, potentially jumping Johnny Munt in the depth chart.
Insight pageEmmett Johnson
PositiveSleeper49:53
Mattek identifies Emmitt Johnson as the best bet for a Kenneth Walker handcuff.
Insight pageNegativeProjection175:16
Davis Mattek notes that Emmitt Johnson's standalone value depends on the Chiefs' offense being significantly better than last year; if the offense remains similar, he advises against drafting him.
Insight pageGarrett Wilson
PositiveValue106:31
Mattek is interested in drafting Garrett Wilson, noting that Ron St. Brown, a Jets fan, has shifted from avoiding Jets players to drafting a ton of Wilson this year.
Insight pageGeorge Kittle
PositiveValue82:49
Mattek considers Kittle a strong target in the current draft build, noting that if you have Tyler Warren, you can wait until round 18 to address the position, but Kittle remains a priority pick for this specific team construction.
Insight pageGeorge Pickens
PositiveBreakout185:06
Davis Mattek defends George Pickens' ability to separate, suggesting he always possessed the skill and could be a breakout candidate, potentially comparing his trajectory to other young receivers.
Insight pageJa'Tavion Sanders
NegativeInjury43:22
Jatavian Sanders has an ankle injury and is undergoing additional testing, which Mattek describes as a big deal.
Insight pageJadarian Price
PositiveUsage188:55
Davis Mattek is high on Jadarian Price, noting that if he performs well, he will likely command significant playing time, and Mattek is happy to draft him at his current ADP.
Insight pageJared Wiley
NegativeValue90:54
Davis Mattek is explicitly fading Jared Wiley, stating he is not drafting the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end three.
Insight pageJaxon Smith-Njigba
NegativeBust196:56
Davis Mattek identifies Jaxon Smith-Njigba as one of the players in the first round most likely to fail to pay off his ADP.
Insight pageJerry Jeudy
NegativeBust86:58
Mattek suggests Jeudy is 'dust' and that there is 'never a re-dustening' once a player's production declines, contrasting him unfavorably with Denzel Boston.
Insight pageJonathan Taylor
NegativeBust197:20
Davis Mattek suggests Jonathan Taylor is one of the first-round players to be lighter on or fade in drafts.
Insight pageJosh Downs
PositiveUsage20:17
Josh Downs is expected to see his slot route rate decrease as the Colts shift toward multi-tight end sets, allowing him to play more on the outside. This transition could make him a three-down player with a route rate potentially reaching 80-85%.
Insight pageKaytron Allen
NegativeDepth Chart35:27
Katron Allen is considered a fine pick, but Mattek notes he could potentially be cut if the team prioritizes special teams and passing-down specialists like Jerome Ford or Jeremy Nichols.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveProjection47:36
Mattek predicts Kenneth Walker will lead the NFL in rushing yards per game.
Insight pageKenyon Sadiq
NegativeInjury0:07
Kenyon Sadiq suffered a setback from his hernia repair and has missed training camp practices. While he may be ready for Week 1, the uncertainty regarding a rookie tight end's health has led to a downgrade in rankings.
Insight pageNegativeInjury85:24
Mattek is not actively targeting Sadiq due to concerns regarding a hernia surgery setback, noting that the potential for the mesh to fail makes the situation concerning and not positive news.
Insight pageLuther Burden
PositiveBreakout186:53
Despite initial injury concerns, Davis Mattek confirms Luther Burden is back at practice and expects him to have a fun, explosive breakout season.
Insight pageMalik Nabers
NegativeValue178:20
Davis Mattek notes that while he is not personally worried about Malik Nabers, there is significant market concern regarding his upside, with some projecting him for a low points-per-game output.
Insight pageMichael Wilson
PositiveRole25:39
Michael Wilson's role is evolving; he is expected to handle schemed targets while Marvin Harrison Jr. focuses on winning one-on-one matchups.
Insight pageMike Evans
NegativeInjury32:31
Mattek is skeptical of reports that Mike Evans' quad strain is minor, stating he will believe it when he sees him on the field.
Insight pageParker Washington
PositiveRole15:26
The team clearly views Parker Washington as a key contributor and likely Week 1 starting slot receiver. It would be stubborn to ignore his role despite ADP concerns.
Insight pagePatrick Mahomes
PositiveValue176:51
Davis Mattek advocates for drafting Patrick Mahomes, noting he has never finished outside the top 10 fantasy quarterbacks in his career and is currently being drafted outside that range, calling it the most bankable points available.
Insight pageRhamondre Stevenson
NegativeUsage30:20
Rhamondre Stevenson has performed well enough in training camp to maintain a 50/50 backfield split, despite Trevion Henderson being viewed as the more explosive player.
Insight pageRico Dowdle
NegativeUsage197:33
Davis Mattek notes a dip in Rico Dowdle's stock following a poor practice performance where he missed a pass-blocking assignment and was yelled at by Aaron Rodgers.
Insight pageStefon Diggs

Despite Sean Payton stating there is no hurry to bring in Taysom Hill, Mattek expects the move to happen very soon.
Insight pageTerrance Ferguson
NegativeRole34:30
Mattek compares Terrence Ferguson to Mike Gesicki, noting he is a specific style of player for specific formats, and expects Colby Parkinson to remain the lead tight end for the Rams.
Insight pagePositiveRole40:07
While Colby Parkinson is expected to be the lead tight end, Mattek notes it would not be surprising if Terrence Ferguson is running 62% of routes by week three.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
NegativeUsage30:18
Trevion Henderson is struggling with pass blocking in Patriots camp, which is keeping him off the field despite his superior explosiveness compared to Rhamondre Stevenson.
Insight pageTrey Benson
NegativeInjury32:02
Trey Benson experienced a flare-up in his surgically repaired knee, and Mattek believes the team is trending toward cutting him.
Insight pageTucker Kraft
Xavier Legette
NegativeInjury43:47

Insight pageZay Flowers
PositiveValue3:32
The Ravens signed Zay Flowers to a four-year, $140 million extension, signaling the team values him as a legitimate WR1, comparable to top-tier young receivers like Puka Nacua and Ja'Marr Chase.

Episode Transcript
0:00We've got absolute loads of news to get to basically every single day in fantasy football.
0:07Things are changing. Of course, the big thing right now is that Kenyon Sadiq suffered a setback from his hernia repair.
0:15He has missed a couple training camp practices for undisclosed reasons.
0:20Now we know the reason, which is that his recovery from surgery has not gone as expected.
0:26Sounds like he is going to be able to play week one, but the way that I would feel about a rookie
0:35tight end who is questionable for week one as it stands on August 4th right now.
0:42And I did like drafting Kenyon Sadiq, but I'm going to be moving Kenyon Sadiq down in my rankings right now.
0:51As we hop into a BBM, we are going to begin by taking Jonathan Taylor at nine.
0:57A little bit of a weird start here with St.
1:02Brown going ahead of Jason, Jenty going at five.
1:05What can you do folks? Yeah, I mean, I do feel for the Sadiq bros.
1:11I am a big, big, I mean, I thought Sadiq was one of the better cost adjusted bets.
1:19On the board, frankly, like tight end 21 for a first round tight end felt pretty good.
1:26I'm probably a little bit higher than the market on Gino Smith's ability.
1:31We talked about some of the offensive line stuff with Scott Barrett yesterday.
1:36And it's true. Turns out the injury that people didn't know about was somehow priced in.
1:43I mean, frankly, still getting to the end of these drafts.
1:47You know, I'm looking at the very end of tight end.
1:52I'm looking at guys like Parkinson Stowers, Gasicki. I think Sadiq is still quite clickable there, but I am going to be moving Sadiq down in my rankings.
2:03As we do this best ball mania draft. I'm going to very easily click Kenneth Walker here, giving us a nice Jonathan Taylor.
2:12Ken Walker start in best ball media. Adam Schefter reported that the Ravens have signed Zay flowers to a four year, $140 million contract extension.
2:23I don't think that really means anything for us.
2:26Other than that. The Ravens are certainly higher on Zay flowers than fantasy managers have been five years, $140 million is Pukunikua Jamarche St.
2:36Brown JSN money. That is real legit wide receiver one money.
2:41That would be more money and a greater proportion of the cap than the team ever gave Hollywood Brown.
2:48For example, both Devonta Smith and Makai Lemon did not practice on Tuesday.
2:54Both of them have hamstring injuries. Now, this is pretty relevant to me for one Mr.
3:00Eli Stowers. If you're looking at a way for Stowers to get on the field, it would be significant training camp absences
3:09for particularly Makai Lemon, because those are going to be guys who are running similar styles of routes.
3:16They're going to be targeted at a similar average depth of target.
3:21It's going to be near the line of scrimmage over the middle of the field.
3:27And assuming that Stowers is able to jump over Johnny Munt in the tight end hierarchy for the Phil Bell Beagles, I
3:36actually think this is a little bit of good news for Stowers.
3:41I'm not doing any big adjustment to Devonta Smith.
3:45And frankly, I'm not doing much of a big adjustment in my thinking or in my rankings for Makai Lemon.
3:53Because the guys who go after Makai Lemon, Quinton Johnston, DK Metcalf, Alec Pierce are to me basically like the least clickable
4:02wide receivers in the NFL for best ball and for fantasy football.
4:07So I'm just not really that interested in just not really that interested in drafting those guys.
4:14So I'm not going to do much with Lemon.
4:18The Athletics' Chad Graff believes Kayshawn Booty has been the star of Patriots Crane and Camp Booty, according to Patriots beat writers
4:27and coaches, has functioned as Drake May's favorite target, especially downfield.
4:31Now, do you guys believe this? I tend to not really believe this.
4:36I'll tell you how I am adjusting for this.
4:40Oh man, I almost got McBride there. Let's do a small, small slight dip arena on Chris Hulave here.
4:48What I am doing with the Booty news is I am not using it to draft Patriots Booty stuff.
4:55I'm not moving Romeo Dubs down. I'm not moving Hunter Henry down.
5:00I'm not moving A.J. Brown down. I'm not doing any of those things.
5:06However, I do think all of this bullish reporting does make it more likely that Kayshawn Booty gets traded.
5:13Or if Kayshawn Booty does not trade, you know, if he just stays on the Patriots, then he is going to end up being a starting wide receiver.
5:25It's not going to be Kyle Williams. I also don't think it's going to be Demario Douglas, but I tend to agree
5:34with Daniel here that it does feel like so many teams are so desperate for wide receiver help.
5:41Like if I was a Las Vegas Raider and these reports were true, why would I just not trade a third round pick for Kayshawn Booty?
5:52You know, my outside wide receivers as we take ETN here, we're going to double up on New Orleans Saints.
6:00I actually quite like this start. If you were the Raiders and you're starting Jalen Naylor, Trey Tucker, Jack Bash and Dante
6:09Thornton, why would I not do that? Why would I not trade a conditional third round pick like you could make it?
6:18I believe the NFL allows you to make conditional trades based on the amount of production.
6:24Based on the amount of production. Obviously not a straight up third round pick, but you do it based on the conditional amount of production.
6:35So if Kayshawn Booty gets 50 catches, then it becomes a third.
6:39There was a conditional pick back in the day.
6:43This happened with Carson Wentz. That was one. I mean, there actually been a fair amount of conditional trades in NFL history,
6:52probably more than we would remember off the top of our heads.
6:57By the way, the Swolecast is back today with a draft challenge.
7:02It's so back. And then we have big news.
7:05The very first Gilcast draft of the season is taking place today.
7:10So if you guys want to draft with me, you guys want to draft with Sammy.
7:17You guys want to draft with Nate. We are drafting over on the NFC.
7:23We are drafting at 4 p.m. Eastern, $350 for a managed league over there.
7:28Link to that is down there in the chat.
7:32So you guys should come over, sign up and play with us.
7:37We're really, really looking forward to it there. GM, Chad.
7:41Just looked at the first few rounds of the 2024 wide receiver draft.
7:46Crazy ups and downs. Yeah, Jalen Polk. Jalen Polk is gone.
7:51Yes, Wentz converted that pick and then immediately got COVID.
7:55Yeah, very, very famous. Wow. I mean, what is going on in this draft that I'm about to get Devontae Adams at this pick?
8:05Lamar went early. Okay. Okay. I mean, hey. All right.
8:09That's a value hound. That's an awoo. Devontae Adams at pick 57, giving us a start of Jonathan Taylor, Ken Walker, Chris Alave, Travis Etienne, and Devontae Adams.
8:20That is some beautiful, beautiful stuff right there. I am absolutely loving that.
8:25Devontae Adams, not a guy I am drafting like an absolute ton of, but at pick 57.
8:32I mean, that's how you get unique teams in fantasy football right there.
8:38That's how it's done. You just, you just let the room, you just let the room give it to you, which is
8:47what I'm going to be happy to do in this draft.
8:51This is a, this is a bit of a value hound draft.
8:56Etienne, Alave. A. We're about to be back up.
9:00God, do not make me take Brian Thomas Jr.
9:03You know what? I'm not going to. We're going to do something a little weird, but now that people are hip to
9:12Jadarian Price, now that you can't just get Jadarian Price in the sixth round, I'm going to do Drake May.
9:20I'm going to do Drake May. Uh, what is my P wash take?
9:26Yeah. I I'm sad to admit I am falling for, I am falling for the side up on Parker Washington, not to
9:35the extent of taking him, you know, too far ahead of average draft position or like, you know, in a lot of
9:44these, uh, in a lot of these high stakes managed leagues, like in this league that we're doing at 4 PM.
9:52Eastern with Sammy and Nate, I am not going to be really advocating for Parker Washington right there, but I think it
10:01is, it is unarguable at this moment in time that the team clearly views Parker Washington as a key contributor that he
10:10probably is going to be their week one starting slot wide receiver.
10:15And so because those things are true, I think that frankly, it would be a little, not even a little, it would
10:24be legitimately stubborn to be like, all right, man, well, we can't draft this guy.
10:30That's, that's the, that's the, that's the issue. You know, I, I, I think that it would just be stubborn.
10:38Like I honestly, I feel the same way about burden, although Luther burden did get shook up today at practice.
10:46So we need to be, we need to be monitoring to see if something happened to Luther burden.
10:54I mean, I'm hoping that it was nothing that he just, uh, that, you know, he just got the, his, uh, breath
11:03knock is the, the wind knocked out of him or whatever.
11:07Um, Ooh, I mean, I would also slam the, all right.
11:12I knew I wasn't going to be able to get Ramond right there.
11:17I'm taking Josh downs where I have him ranked.
11:21I have Josh downs ranked well ahead of ADP.
11:24We're going to take him at 81 there. Uh, Marvin Harrison, Jr.
11:29Or Parker. I got Parker Quinton Johnston or Parker.
11:33I would have had, I would have had Parker Washington over QJ even before the PSYOP started.
11:40Cause I just don't, I just don't love taking QJ.
11:44I mean, I could be, could be very wrong about the QJ thing because frankly, that offense could be so good.
11:52I mean, that's one of the things I am most scared about this year is the chargers just absolutely stuffing it.
12:01I mean, that certainly is a thing that can happen this year.
12:06Yes. Yeah. Where, where, uh, where Josh downs goes in the flock league.
12:11He might end up being like a sixth round pick in the flock league.
12:17Uh, would Keenan signing with the Colts kill downs?
12:21I don't think so. As we take Blake Corum here, I do not think that he would kill downs because there was a good report today.
12:31Uh, my guy, I believe it was Benjamin. So lack who had been at, um, the Colts training camp.
12:39Let me, let me pull up the exact blurb so that I'm not making it up.
12:45Uh, this was from Benjamin Solak. All right. One key fantasy nugget, Josh downs, more like Josh downs field.
12:53MPJ was a super reliable, dirty work player who could block out of the slot.
12:59Yada, yada. He lacked big play juice made sense to move on.
13:04The Colts do not intend to replace Pittman one to one Doolin.
13:09Westbrook keen tread well are going to be big bodied options who can play in 11 personnel and block.
13:17But as the Colts move away from 11 personnel in favor of more multi tight end sets, there'll be opportunity to line up downs on the outside.
13:28To this point in his career, he has been a traditional slot wide receiver.
13:3374% of his routes from the slot. Second to only to Mario Douglas downs can still get dropped into the slot in two receiver sets, but I'd wager.
13:45We see downs is slot right fall from near league leading to the realm of Vlad McConkie or Wanda.
13:53That is music to your ears. If you are a Josh downs drafter, because that allows him to effectively be a three
14:02down player, his route rate can probably move up to like 80, 85%.
14:07So that's pretty good. I basically, I think that I think that Josh downs.
14:13Here's a here's a good one. I mean, this is not a truth serum.
14:18This is just this is just the truth. Josh downs should be a fifth round pick.
14:25In fantasy football, Josh downs is real ranking of where he should be ranked if we were not concerned with the way
14:34that average draft position has functioned this far. Uh, I, I think Josh downs, I'll say this.
14:41Not only should Josh downs be ahead of Pierce, I'm ready to say he should also be ahead of Tyler Warren.
14:49Um, and then we are going to nab. Wow.
14:53All right. We're going to nab Michael Pittman jr.
14:57Here. I'm, I'm not that I would never take Xavier worthy there, but I am.
15:03I'm shook up. I'm shook up about the shoulder injury.
15:07Brooks pick 89. I think I've taken him even earlier than pick 89.
15:12Honestly, uh, Washington and Kalar are guys. I changed my news on that wasn't news related.
15:19Any other guys you've been up or down on just opinion changes.
15:23Uh, well, let me make this pick and I will think about that because I'm sure there are some, oh, I'm going to take Romeo dubs here.
15:34Bang. All right. Got it done. Got the, got the May second.
15:39I think my opinion on Michael Wilson has changed and it is not been just news related, but it's more been about
15:48the role that I expect him to play in that offense.
15:53I think Marvin Harrison jr. Is probably going to have to win one-on-one.
15:58And I think Michael Wilson is going to get some of the schemed stuff.
16:04I would say that's the line for me right there.
16:08I would put downs with the Jordan Tyson psyop Washington tier of players.
16:13That's my, that's my real line on where I would put them.
16:18Uh, let's go see, let's go see where my quantitative has them.
16:23Let's go see where, where the quant has them.
16:27All right. So wide receiver projections, Josh downs. He has got Josh downs as the wide receiver.
16:34There are 43, 110 targets. He's got him ahead of McKay lemon and worthy.
16:39Um, he has them slightly behind Michael Wilson, but he's gotten for 173 PPR points Tyson for 188 Parker Washington for one 87.
16:49So that's right about what I believe that's right about, um, what I believe.
16:54Nothing, nothing really, nothing really happened to Kalar. It's just, I, I think it's going to, to me, what we are seeing
17:03with Kalar is I actually do think the team is probably going to use him as more or less than every down player.
17:13So sometimes, sometimes that's the way she goes. Give me to, Oh man.
17:18If I get sniped on Tyler shock here, we're going to have to, we're going to have to throw up this draft.
17:27Please do not take Tyler shock Vander. Um, dude, he's going to auto draft Tyler shock one spot ahead.
17:35Dude, kill me. Come on, man. This is so pain just to watch this.
17:40Oh, he didn't. He did auto draft. He must have rankings in.
17:45Oh, he's got, he must have rankings in because he did not auto draft shock.
17:51That would have been, that would have been unbelievable.
17:55Uh, yeah, I guess not, I guess not fifth round.
17:59I guess sixth round then. Right. Cause I would have him.
18:04Definitely ahead of Pierce ahead of read ahead of QJ.
18:08So somewhere, somewhere right in there, we're going to take Keaton Mitchell on this team.
18:14And then we're going to be done at running back.
18:18The, the vibes on Trevion Henderson. I wouldn't say are particularly great reports from New England Patriots training camper that he is still struggled with pass blocking.
18:29That's one of the big things, keeping him off the feed field.
18:34Meanwhile, Ramondre Stevenson has done enough to keep the Patriots backfield workload at 50 50.
18:40Of course. Everyone in the world can watch the New England Patriots and know what is self-evident, which is that Trevion Henderson
18:49is the much better and more explosive player. It's a lot easier to play.
18:55Uh, it's a lot easier to play, you know, basically, uh, uh, Ramondre Stevenson style guys in that situation.
19:02When you're winning, when you're, when you're, when you're not winning a lot harder to keep Trevion Henderson, the second round peg from last year on the bench.
19:14Ooh, it looks like I am, uh, I am needed to do a clip for the flock league.
19:21Um, let me go ahead and ping and say that I will do this very shortly.
19:28Mason. I will go outside and record a clip after this stream.
19:33Henderson might be so talented with limited touches that he delivers.
19:37Probably not round five though. Right? Probably not. Probably not round five for Trevion Henderson.
19:43Uh, I mean, Stevenson might be Samaj P. Ryan fancy Samaj P.
19:48Ryan. They both went to, I mean, they, they were both graduates of the greatest school, uh, in, in the history of collegiate football, the university of Oklahoma.
19:59That much is, is certainly true. People forget those.
20:03Samaj P. Ryan was viewed as a very high upside rushing prospect.
20:08We're going to do, I am not going to do another saint here.
20:13I'm going to take Brenton strange. I think I don't, I don't think I want for new Orleans saints on a team.
20:22Uh, am I mixing in any 18th round Mason Taylor?
20:26I'm not because I think by the time you would really want to be using Mason Taylor scores, you know, the post season.
20:36That should be the time that Kenyon Sadiq, even if he does start the season slower.
20:42Is going to, going to really impact Mason Taylor's playing time.
20:47I, I would legit rather take Colby Parkinson or, or Charlie Kolar.
20:52Ben studying for all my redraft league since like may and all the guys I had my heart set on moved up way too much.
21:02Yeah. That's basically how it works. I mean, that's basically how redraft works is the, uh, the opening ADP is quite bad.
21:11And then a bunch of people make content and then it ends up getting changed around and you, you end up all
21:20the, all the value ends up leaving the room.
21:23Wow. Tight end tight end is really thinning out, huh?
21:27Uh, Trey Harris. I actually like as a good wide receiver six, which gives us a team of Drake may Tyler shock,
21:36Jonathan Taylor, Ken Walker, Travis, ETN, junior Blake, Corum, Keaton Mitchell, Chris, Lave, Devante Adams, Josh downs, Michael Pittman, junior Romeo dubs,
21:45Trey Harris, and Brenton strange at tight end. Davis.
21:49I drafted an honor of you the other day.
21:53I went first seven rounds with nothing, but by week seven players, GM, GM, GM, GM, Clay.
22:00What is the ceiling that Sadiq could be drafted next year?
22:04I mean, I think that Sadiq is, I think Sadiq could be like the tight end seven next year.
22:12Kenya and Sadiq was a very good prospect. Uh, I guess it depends on how you evaluate tight ends, but the way
22:21that I evaluate tight ends, it's the one, it's the one position where there is a clear relationship between relative athletic score and future fantasy points.
22:31There's also, uh, there is also a clear correlation between just getting on the field and having, uh, receptions early, which Kenya and Sadiq did.
22:42There's a very clear correlation between being an early declare and future production.
22:47And the relationship between yards per route run also diminishes at, uh, at tight end.
22:53So I am, uh, I am a lot less, I'm, I'm pretty interested in Kenya and Sadiq.
23:00And in fact, I would think that Kenya and Sadiq ends up being a pretty clear dynasty buy from me.
23:08Uh, I know, I know we, I know we do best ball on this channel, but I, I, I would say whatever
23:17my ownership of Kenya and Sadiq is in dynasty right now ends up being higher next season.
23:24Uh, more news and notes. Michael Wilson undisclosed did not practice today.
23:29How about this Rams tight end Davis Allen with, uh, with a quad injury.
23:35Uh, I, I would really like to crack a diet Coke.
23:39Um, I might have to go upstairs and go get one.
23:44I'm still finishing coffee over here. Uh, do, do, do, do, do, do.
23:49This is definitely a tight end pick. And I think I know which tight end I'm going to be picking.
23:57I think I know which tight end is, uh, is on, is on the board here.
24:04How about one, Mr. Terrence Ferguson, come on down brother at pick one 77.
24:09What week one reveal will have everyone saying, oops, uh, my guess, Jay rich.
24:15Kenneth Walker has like 22, 23 rushes in week one and everyone's going to go, Oh, maybe we should have been taking him over a Marian Hampton.
24:26That's my guess. Um, another guess for me would be Kayshawn booty leads the new England Patriots in receiving.
24:34Uh, Omar Cooper jr. Barely plays in week one and Adni Mitchell is second on the team in targets.
24:41That's another one. I mean, there, there, uh, there are a number of these.
24:47And of course there are going to be many that are unpredictable for me.
24:53We need, uh, okay. Wow. Lucky break there ended up with a third quarterback.
24:59We do get Gino Smith as our third quarterback GM GM.
25:03Yes. A Higby touchdown. Week one would be, uh, insanely tilting.
25:08Why wouldn't Hampton have 50 carries through two weeks?
25:11You ever heard of a young man named Keaton missile?
25:15Have you heard, have you heard the good word?
25:19Have you heard, have you heard the good word?
25:23The good word of Keaton missile? Uh, honestly, I did not look at, I only did like 20 dingers.
25:30So I did not look at any of my teams that got through.
25:36Likely is the exact same tight end. He was last time he had a running quarterback and a bad OC.
25:44People are saying it more and more. Loveland puts up a tight end one over a week.
25:51And people wonder why they ever took a tight end in a bottom three offense over 22 year old Kelt a Danny
26:00chill, chill on Bowers, chill on Bowers, uh, JCM.
26:03I mean, that's not even an oops, Peter. Jacory Krosky-Meritt is going to have a 65% snap share week one.
26:11You can, you can pre-write your week one reactions article with that information in it right now.
26:18Jacory Krosky-Meritt is indeed going to play 65% of the snaps in week one.
26:24This is a hundred percent true. Javante Williams, uh, was, was the big oops last year.
26:31That is exactly what I thought. Literally my exact thought of watching Javante Williams last year.
26:37That my, like, as I'm watching the Cowboys game, the thing that I'm thinking is, oops.
26:44Oh, I messed that one up. Messed, messed that one up pretty bad.
26:49And indeed, indeed, it was a big mistake that I had made.
26:54Pretty easy pick here. Taequann Thornton just remains. I, I, you, you, you could not create a round 17, round 18, uh, pick in a lab better.
27:05Oh, well, I took Keyon Coleman. How did that happen?
27:09Producer. Roll the clip back. How did that happen?
27:13I mean, not that it's the end of the world, but how did that happen?
27:19Producer. Hello, commissioner. Run that one back, please. Tank Bigsby will have 10 carries and three receptions in week one.
27:27That would be fine by me, but I don't, I don't believe that one at all.
27:33And for my final pick of the evening, I'm going to make sure to click it.
27:40I'm going to get him over here in the queue.
27:44I'm not going to mess that one up again.
27:48I will be selecting Eli Reardon, who I think by week 10 is going to be the starting tight end for the New England Patriots.
27:58Making our final team, Drake May, Tyler Shuck, Geno Smith, Jonathan Taylor, Kenneth Walker, Travis Etienne Jr., Blake Corum, Keaton Missal, Chris
28:07Alave, Devontae Adams, Josh Downs, Michael Pittman Jr., Romeo Dubs, Trey Harris, Keon Coleman.
28:13Oops. Brenton Strange, Terrence Ferguson, and Eli Reardon. What grade do we get from the flock tool there?
28:20A B. Fair enough. B minus advancement. B plus ADP score.
28:24A minus for uniqueness. That's all well and good.
28:28Let's go and hop in one of the brand new contests.
28:33A pit bull to $20 to enter in this contest.
28:37Believe it is $100,000 to first place. Two of 12, one of six.
28:42One of five is the advancements there. Keiondre Lambert-Smith will have seven targets in week one.
28:48I'm not buying that one, I don't think. Asking the UD moderator for a take-back season in the 17th round because you
28:57took Keon Coleman instead of Thornton would make the Ricky Person person roll over in his grave.
29:04I'm not going to record my video for Mason right now.
29:09I'm going to do it probably in about an hour because I have a great idea for it.
29:16So I'm going to wait because it's one of those that I actually have a good idea for and I'm not going to do it.
29:26And I'm not going to spoil it. I'm not going to spoil the idea.
29:32Have I listened to Mania for Subjugation 4 yet?
29:36I have indeed, here you go brother, I have 13 minutes and 47 seconds left on Mania for Subjugation.
29:43An immediate classic from Dan Carlin. Just an absolute jammer.
29:47The Battle of Isis, Cyrus the Great versus Alexander.
29:51Come on man, you're absolutely not beating it. Yes, we are going to do the Mastiff with Discord members.
29:59I think that is probably going to be Saturday or Sunday.
30:03I need to get a Google sheet for everyone to put their payment information in.
30:09But yes, we will handle, we will handle, we're going to do a $1,000 best ball draft for all the people who
30:18are in the Discord who want to hang out.
30:22Yes, it is Flock League related. It's, ooh, and let's do Jameer Gibbs, done, bang.
30:28Is the Flock League draft live? It's just a video.
30:32Do you know if you've drafted an identical team yet?
30:36This would basically be impossible. I don't think even if you tried, you could draft an identical team.
30:44The total number of combinations of teams that you can draft is too infinite.
30:49Have I listened to Mike Duncan's podcast? I've listened to the History of Rome.
30:55I have not listened to Revolutions. I'm sure that Revolutions is awesome.
31:00Just have not gotten there. My downtime show of like, if I don't have anything that I'm listening to, is The Life
31:09of Napoleon, which is a crazy, crazy life. They did, yes.
31:13Hopenumi did put the puppy in the bag. Yes, they, I'm going to try to not auto-draft these, but the answer is,
31:22is probably a lot of them are going to be auto-drafted, which is going to hurt my overall advance rate, which is
31:31then going to let the best ball palantir folks be very angry at me.
31:37But what do you want me to do, man?
31:41I got to get, I got to get the, I got to get the drafts in.
31:47All right. Jameer Gibbs at the 101, drafting with Big Papa Smurf, Biz77, JP Sissel9, Jabeer, Jumpfree, Barker, Jobin, my guy Jay
31:56Sarab, Dan, Pafon, Mushtagart, and Derby Rhino, having ourselves a nice little afternoon there.
32:02Some other news. Trey Benson had a flare-up in his surgically repaired knee.
32:07I think we are trending towards him being cut.
32:11Casey Concepcion is expecting to be fine after he injured his shoulder on Monday.
32:17Broncos head coach Sean Payton said there's no hurry to bring in free agent Taysom Hill.
32:23I would, I would expect that one. I would expect that one to come very, very, very soon.
32:31Mike Evans' quad strain is very minor. I'll believe that one.
32:35I'll believe that one when I see it. Xavier Worthy and Cyrus Allen both today were at practice, but they were not in, they were not in pads.
32:46So not a full practice for either of those guys, but back at practice.
32:52Does your strategy at the 2-3 turn change in best ball as opposed to redraft?
32:58I mean, I'm sure it probably does because I'm a little, I'm going to be a little bit more woke to taking one of the running backs.
33:09Because the running backs go a little bit earlier.
33:13So you're not even guaranteed to get tootin. All right, let's do, I actually don't mind taking Jeremiah Love here.
33:21But we're going to do, I mean, honestly, probably, probably just the very boring start.
33:27All right, let's do, all right, we're going to do a Liam, guys.
33:32We're going to do a Liam. There you go.
33:36Liam says, I never do anything to get unique.
33:40There's a Jameer Gibbs, Rashi Rice, and Zay Flowers.
33:43Would I be drafting all these teams if you didn't have site credits?
33:49Would feel tough to, I mean, when, before I was ever had any kind of partnership with Underdog, I still drafted an insane amount of teams.
33:59And I guess I didn't, I didn't, I did not auto-draft.
34:04I did not, I did not auto-draft back then.
34:08I still auto-drafted some of the mini schnauzers and things.
34:12The news on Shanahan seems not great. Hard time.
34:15I mean, if that's the reason, if that is the reason that the San Francisco 49ers fail this year, I guess it is what it is.
34:26No, Jeremy Levine most certainly does not pay me a salary.
34:30I do not get paid anything. I love Terrence Bergeson, but he is just the Mike Gesicki of the Rams.
34:38I mean, yeah, basically. Yeah, he is basically the Mike Gesicki of the Rams.
34:44Available in the 18th round for a much better team.
34:48That is a common man way to get unique.
34:52Gotta take Zay at the 1-2 turn. Should I start fading Rashad White?
34:57I mean, do whatever you want. I don't think Rashad White is a particularly good pick.
35:04But go with God, man. Do whatever you want.
35:07What do I know? Rashad White could easily have like 80 receptions.
35:12Is there any news on the commander's backfield? I mean, I suppose whatever news there is would be related to Jacory Kwaski
35:21Merritt being more integrated as a pass catcher than anyone would have anticipated.
35:27I wouldn't. I have a hard time with Katron Allen.
35:31I mean, he's fine. Katron Allen seems like a fine pick to make on August 4th.
35:37I mean, there's certainly a chance that he doesn't make the initial 53 and that they choose to keep Jerome Ford or
35:46Jeremy Nick Nichols as their third running back. Because those guys are really good special teamers and good on passing downs.
35:55I could see that one, frankly, going either way.
35:58I don't know. JCM to me is like pretty obviously the pick there.
36:04But I've been wrong about these things before. Where do we watch the 4 p.m.
36:10stream? Well, assuming that this draft gets filled, I need you guys to go fill the $350 Football Guys Online Championship.
36:183 out of 12, 4 p.m. Eastern. The link to that to go sign up is right in there.
36:26It's right in the chat so you guys can go sign up.
36:31That is over on the Matic Fantasy Football Channel.
36:35So all redraft content is going to be on the Matic Fantasy Football Channel.
36:40That is going to be the case for the rest of the summer, for the rest of the foreseeable future.
36:48This channel is for best ball content. I am going...
36:53Oh, man. I'm going to get weird here. This is going to be a fun draft, I think.
37:00Man, I don't know if... I don't think I can take Lamar here.
37:05I think I'm actually going to let Lamar go.
37:09All right. We're going to do Swift. And then we're going to do Tootin.
37:15So giving us Gibbs, Swift, Tootin, Rice, and Flowers.
37:18I just... It's so... It's... For me, you take Lamar when Tootin, Swift, Henderson, Judkins, and Bucky are off the board.
37:27I think I'm sold on Goddard as a nice tight end punt option.
37:32And Smith and Lemon are both starting off with hamstring issues.
37:37I mean, Goddard, I think, is a good pick.
37:40I think Goddard is like a very good pick where he goes.
37:45What news has come out to raise Terrence Ferguson's ADP?
37:49Feels like the best upside bet in layarounds. Who's Ford?
37:53I don't think there's been any significant news. Does NFC use LeagueSafe for money?
37:59I've never used it before, but when I signed up, I already had a balance.
38:05I believe they are partners with LeagueSafe. Yes. I believe that is the case, that they are.
38:12Nothing better than your decades-long home league starting up.
38:16100%. It's the best. It is the best. Can you speak to the part of me that started to get Mason Taylor and Redraft multiple weeks last season?
38:27Why should I just not assume he gets a little bit better and has great value?
38:34I mean, it doesn't sound like the team is overly concerned about Kenyon Sadiq.
38:39It just means that he's more likely to give you some zeros at the start of the season.
38:47Mason Taylor is probably fine. Interesting to pull up Zay there.
38:51So I guess I think that Zay Flowers, I mean, obviously he and Lamar have very integrated ceilings.
38:58I would be curious what a Sim style system would be.
39:03But my thinking there is basically just I've already lost a little bit of projected points by pulling Flowers ahead of Pickens, Devonta Smith, Igbuka, those guys.
39:14So I don't want to lose more value by making another poor ADP decision later in the board.
39:21Yeah, I mean, basically, I don't think there will be any news that can skyrocket to Trent Ferguson because Colby Parkinson is
39:30still going to be the quote unquote lead tight end, right?
39:35I mean, quote like first first snap of the season or whatever.
39:40Colby Parkinson is going to have his hand in the dirt, not Terrence Ferguson.
39:45So there are just some people who are not going to want.
39:50To take Terrence Ferguson, and frankly, Terrence Ferguson is a very specific style of player in a very specific style, a very specific format.
40:00You know, I'm not going to have a ton of T-Ferg in redraft, I don't think.
40:07Although, frankly, it would not be that surprising to me if after week three, you know, we've got Terrence Ferguson running 62% of the routes.
40:17What are the chances the BBM winner has already drafted?
40:21I mean, how full is the contest? 65, 70%?
40:24That's the odds. It's just such a big, nuanced, variant-filled sport and contest and contest style that even having Malik Nabors in
40:33the fourth or whatever, there you go, 54% chance the winner's been drafted.
40:39Uh, no, I would not be surprised if multiple Rams tight ends had good fantasy football seasons.
40:46I really, I really wouldn't. Um, oh man. Well, here, I'm about to, I'm about to get the sword put to me with this decision on Makai Lemon.
40:57I'm going to take Jalen Warren, and I am going to take Makai Lemon.
41:03I'm not going to be worried about a hamstring injury on August 4th, even if I should.
41:10This is, okay, this is an extremely, extremely funny comment, because I have actually thought about this before.
41:17Like, literally, what if in the very first Best Ball Mania, literally, literally the first draft, right after the draft, imagine you
41:26go through the future, the multiverse, and that was the winner.
41:31So everyone else who spent all summer, you know, was, was, uh, was wasting their time.
41:37What if your T for a globe is just redirecting you from the OG correctly?
41:43I mean, I still draft a lot of Gunnar Elm.
41:47I, I still, I still draft a, an absolute ton of, uh, of the jestered Gunnar.
41:54And frankly, Gunnar probably has a clearer path, but he's on a much worse team.
42:00Burden, Tootin, Keaton, Hunter, three, four neighbors, Brooks, Wicks, T-Ferg.
42:04It's, it is the year of the slap. I am absolutely maxing the Eliminator.
42:10In fact, I have already maxed the Eliminator. Best Ball is simply the best week 17 team.
42:17You're, you're making, you're making some good points. Do I ever draft a best ball in your dreams?
42:24I, I definitely have dreamt about best ball many, many times.
42:28Uh, yes. Gunnar Helm. I have 329 Gunnar Helm teams, 507 Terrence Ferguson teams.
42:34So still, still a lot of, still a lot of, uh, Helm teams sitting in there.
42:41Is Jonu dead? Dead does not sound, does not sound like Jonu.
42:45Is going to be playing this year. Haven't, haven't heard, uh, a single burble on, on Jonu Smith.
42:53Some stuff from the underdog account here. Executives and coaches rank Shadur 35th out of 35 quarterbacks.
43:00One defensive coordinator. I'd sleep like a baby if I got to play him every week.
43:06Another executive. He's inaccurate at all three levels. I can't tell if he's going to get better, but there's a huge gap between him and competent.
43:17Quarterback play. Uh, Jonathan Brooks not playing in the hall of fame game.
43:22Oh. Well, Jatavian Sanders. If any of you guys have been drafting Jatavian Sanders.
43:28Jatavian Sanders has an ankle injury and is going to undergo additional testing.
43:33That's a pretty big deal. Uh, the Los Angeles chargers are not expected to bring in late off season veteran wide receiver.
43:42So Keenan Allen, not going back to the Los Angeles chargers.
43:47Xavier Lee get got a stinger at practice today.
43:50That maybe is a little bit. I think Peter drafted him yesterday.
43:55So that's a little bit interesting. Uh, am I capitulating the big collar?
44:00Yeah, I'm, I'm drafting a little bit of collar.
44:04I don't care if it's, I don't care if it's disingenuous.
44:09I am doing it. We have talked about the, the Eagles hammies.
44:14I would say as of right now, I am not particularly worried about lemon or Devonta Smith, but it maybe does make Eli Stowers a smidgen more draftable.
44:25Hmm. Okay. What are we going to do at this turn?
44:29I mean, I guess we plan on taking my homes and one of these wide receivers, three quarterback with this configuration, this
44:3817% historical advance rate, no qualifying running backs in this pattern.
44:43Uh, yeah, we just took too many running backs early.
44:47All right. We're going to do my homes and I mean, this is a dipper Reno on Godwin.
44:54So we'll do Godwin. Oh, that's a lot of week 10 buys though.
45:00That's fine. All right. So that gives us a team of Godwin rice flowers, Swift to Warren lemon moms and Christopher Godwin.
45:09Wicks, I think is a very good pick. Yeah.
45:12I think Wicks is a pretty good pick. I mean, he's been a, a pretty good pick.
45:19Will Tootin rise above breeze? I don't, I don't think so.
45:24I do not think that by shell Tootin will rise ahead of breeze, but he might rise ahead of, I, my, my
45:33guess for where by shell Tootin ends up in ADP is that he gets to where ETN goes.
45:40I think he'll, I think he'll probably flip Scadaboo.
45:44And so he gets in that ETN Javante Williams Scadaboo range.
45:48That's my guess. What do you guys think? Do you guys think there will be, do you guys think there will be enough ADP movement there for Tootin?
45:59I wouldn't, I wouldn't think so. Could be though.
46:03Could be. I mean, I guess what do I do on this team for second quarterback?
46:10I think I actually, this team probably needs three.
46:13A guy I'm trying to work in more on my portfolio right now is Harold Fannin.
46:20Actually, why would Tootin go that high? What's the news?
46:24I mean, he's just been, he's just been the, uh, he's just been the best running back in camp.
46:32All the, all the buzz on him has been positive.
46:36Would you like if Eli Stowers didn't look like a dork, he would be the tight end 16.
46:43How about if Jacob Sanderson didn't call him a twink?
46:47Jacob Sanderson called him a twink and that really stuck.
46:51My still Montgomery over Tootin. Frankly, I have a very hard time taking Montgomery over Tootin.
46:58So that's probably the line for me right now.
47:01I prefer Tootin over Scat already. My guy, my guy, Paul already had 35% Mason Taylor.
47:08Assuming every running back stayed healthy. Who do I think the top five leading rushers would be?
47:15Gibbs, Bijon, Gentie, Taylor, and Taylor. Ken Walker. Assuming that every running back played all 17 games, I would go Gibbs, Robinson, Gentie, Taylor, Walker.
47:25I think that if Walker, I think if Walker plays, how about this?
47:30How about this? I'm ready. I'm ready. Are you guys ready for hot take season?
47:36Are you guys ready for, for the new, for the nuclear?
47:41Peter, Kenneth Walker leads the National Football League in rushing yards per game.
47:46There you go. CMC, CMC, no. CMC, Christian McCaffrey last year.
47:51He will definitely lead the NFL in fantasy points if that happens.
47:56CMC last year, I believe, did not have a hundred yard rushing game.
48:01Okay. He had, okay, nevermind. He had four. Still though.
48:05Still. 1,200 rushing yards. That's just not, that's not his game.
48:09Uh, we're going to do Concepcion. We're going to do Concepcion.
48:14And we're going to do Jaden Higgins. Giving us a 1,460.
48:18Mahomes, Gibbs, Swift, Tootin, Warren. Rice, Flowers, Lemon, Godwin, Concepcion, Higgins.
48:23CMC runs like Lieutenant Dan. Cohen saying Travis Hunter can just skim the spark notes for X and F wide receiver plays is very funny.
48:33Unclear if it's bullish though. Uh, I've not drafted any Luke McCaffrey.
48:38Do we still believe in Andy to produce a good fantasy running back?
48:43Brother. Brother, brother. I love you. I love you, but I need you to be so for serious, man.
48:51I need you. I need, I need all the, the Kenneth Walker haters to be so fucking for real.
48:59You guys, you guys gotta be so serious, man.
49:02Andy Reed running backs are an absolute cheat code.
49:06It's just the running backs have been terrible. Do you guys, do you guys know how bad the running backs have been on this team?
49:16Look at the leading rushers for this team. 28 and 29 year old Kareem Hunt.
49:227th round, Isaiah Pacheco. Darryl Williams. That's not Damian Williams.
49:27That's Darryl Williams. Clyde Edwards Hilaire. And Damian Williams back in 2019.
49:31By the way, the last time the Chiefs had a good running back.
49:37Young, young Kareem Hunt. He had 14 touchdowns through 11 games.
49:41And then he got waived for the domestic violence incident.
49:45I would say, I would say right now, Emmitt Johnson would probably be the best, the best bet.
49:53Exactly, dude. Tony, you know. If you know the name Sharkantrick West, you know.
49:58You know. You are a knower of ball. You know how many fantasy points can come from that backfield.
50:06My bet right now for Walker handcuff would be Emmitt Johnson.
50:11Kenneth Walker should go ahead of Gentty Barkley and Hampton.
50:15I think I tend to agree. Tankdale is the world's easiest click ever.
50:20He's Stroud's best friend. That I did not know.
50:24No, I mean, I would like Kenneth Walker a lot less if they traded for Tony Pollard.
50:30Yeah, I would like him a lot less. Dude, two years ago, Isaiah Pacheco was a 3-4 turn pick.
50:38And that guy stinks. It's so awesome that Shadur is somehow the good guy in the Browns quarterback room.
50:46Well, the actual good guy in that quarterback room is Dylan Gabriel.
50:51Dylan Gabriel, actually a good guy. Like, factually true.
50:55Dylan Gabriel is a good dude. My family has met Dylan Gabriel.
50:59And he went to the same church as my grandparents.
51:04Because my grandparents go to the Catholic church that's on the campus of the University of Oklahoma.
51:10And they said Dylan Gabriel is a real nice guy.
51:15Ah! Gosh! Damn, that's annoying. All right, we're going to do Ward.
51:19And I'm actually going to do Denzel Boston. And we're going to send it even further.
51:26We're going to double up on Cleveland wide receivers.
51:30I got plans here. Taylon Green. I'm sure Taylon Green's a very nice guy.
51:35Emmitt Johnson's going to smash. I liked Emmitt Johnson as a prospect until he got to the combine and weighed 202 pounds.
51:44And then was slow. I just drafted two wide receivers of this guy.
51:50Shader Sanders on if he's ever been in a quarterback battle before.
51:54Yes, I have. Me versus myself. Incredible. Incredible content.
51:58Kenneth Walker averaged 4.8 targets per game in 2024.
52:02That was the only year of his career where he ended up really missing time.
52:08I don't know. I am going to be in the Flock League.
52:13Yes, sir. If the curse continues, Walker and Mahomes are going to run into each other on a miscommunication handoff.
52:21And Walker's going to be out for the year.
52:25Brashard Smith is actually probably going to make the team.
52:29Because he is the best kick returner on the team.
52:33Any updates on Rashi's bum knee? Yeah, he is rehabilitating his knee.
52:38Very normal. Basically doing the same thing that everyone else is doing.
52:43Coming back from a knee injury. Took my kid to go play mini golf.
52:48He was beating me after five holes. Went back to my car.
52:53Grabbed an ice cold yellow can Gatorade. Real, real, real shit.
52:58Is the best build for advanced rate 3663. Historically speaking, I don't do.
53:03I just use whatever the. So this tool that I have pulled up is just a database of all prior teams that
53:12have ever been drafted in Best Ball Mania. So I just use this tool that has all the historical data in it.
53:21Been hearing hype about Elek Iomaner making plays. Then I ran the article and every huge pass comes from Trubisky.
53:29Can we get your live reaction on the blurb eight minutes ago from underdog about Travis Hunter?
53:36Sure. Yes, we can. There is no blurb. Wait, just the regular underdog?
53:41Not underdog NFL? All right. Regular underdog eight minutes ago.
53:45I got nothing. I got nothing on my timeline.
53:49You got to direct me. You got to direct me to the correct timeline, sir.
53:55Yeah, Tucker Craft got taken off a pup last Thursday.
53:59I think if Mike Evans plays for more than four weeks with the EMF, I will be shocked.
54:06No pun intended that the the the EMF looks completely insane.
54:11Completely insane. I can't I cannot believe how it looks.
54:15You watch a clip from practice and you're like, I can't.
54:20I wouldn't even want to look at that going to going to work every day.
54:26Right. Like, it looks crazy. It's the Liam Cohen quote that that Hunter only needs no X and F or C recalls from the playbook.
54:36I don't know. I don't know, man. The Travis Hunter thing is so the Travis Hunter thing is so simple to me.
54:45Either you play the number two overall pick at wide receiver or you don't.
54:51Go go with God on that one. You know.
54:54Well, am I drafting Jared Wiley? No, I am not drafting the tight end three on the Kansas City Chiefs.
55:02I am. I am out. Out on Jared Wiley.
55:06All right. Well, I probably have to double tap tight end here.
55:11So let's do. Helm. And let's do Schultz. And then I think we all know what I'm going to have to do with the next turn.
55:21Substation is actually becoming a big enough deal that I think it's a negative placebo aspect, especially with NFL players being the dumbest guys alive.
55:32Well, I tend to agree with you because this is what these dudes see at work every day.
55:39This is what these guys. Do you see this?
55:43You're you're going you're going to work every day and everyone is telling you.
55:48Substation, man, I don't know about it. Literally look at that, dude.
55:53That is that is what. Imagine you went to work every day there, right?
55:59All right, man, I'm walking into work. This is what you see.
56:04You just see menacing power lines hanging overhead. And meanwhile, every day you leave camp, right?
56:10You leave work. You get in your car or you get in your Uber, whatever.
56:17You pull your phone up. Hey, man, I'm going to go.
56:21I'm going to go see what people are saying on Instagram.
56:25I'm going to go see what people are saying on on X the everything app.
56:32I'm going to go. I'm going to go watch tick tocks.
56:36What are all the comments say? Substation, EMF. Do your own research on EMFs.
56:42I it would be it would be hard for me to imagine seeing that every single day and then knowing that every
56:51person I know and interact with has a thought on what I'm seeing and doing.
56:57I'm out. They got it. They got to move.
57:01It does. It does literally look like a military base.
57:05There you go. Pick 180 Terrence Ferguson. It's so over for us, man.
57:10It's like clocking into work across the street from the monster house and you're getting told every day not to worry about
57:19the monster house while someone disappears at your job every day.
57:23It's crazy. For real. You got to plant trees.
57:27Well, actually, wait. No. I think Kittle was the one that said this, Jay Rich.
57:33I believe I believe this was Kittle. It might have been someone else with the 49ers, but someone else said that they
57:42did plant trees around the substation and all the trees died.
57:47All right. All right. Now I got to go look this up.
57:51Trees, 49ers substation. There you go. There you go.
57:55The dead trees near the San Francisco 49ers practice facility fueled a viral conspiracy theory linking the substation to the team's soft tissue injuries.
58:05Indeed. Yes. Yes. It indeed was Kittle. Indeed. It was Kittle.
58:09Kittle said they had trees around it. And the trees died.
58:14I mean, that's insane. Here we go. One of my teammates put it really well.
58:20Kyle Juszczyk, our fullback, said, as a professional athlete, you're always trying to get 1% better.
58:27And you're like, hey, if something's affecting me negatively, 0.25%, you'd want to know about it.
58:33Kittle noted the one thing. Hold on. I got to make this pick.
58:38We're going to finish this quote after I make this pick.
58:43I need a running back. We will take, you know what?
58:47We'll take Emmitt Johnson. We'll take Emmitt Johnson. I need one more tight end.
58:53I can get Pat Fryermuth. Lock it up. There you go.
58:57All right. Kittle noted that one thing, quote, messes him up is that during his rookie year, there.
59:05Okay. I got to bring this up so you guys can see I'm not making this up.
59:12Kittle noted the one thing that messes with him is that during his rookie year, there used to be trees between the facility and the substation.
59:22And the leaves at the top of the trees were perpetually dead.
59:27However, these trees were removed. I mean, I don't know.
59:31I don't know anything about anything. You definitely do not want to get Davis Matic scientific data.
59:38Like, absolutely, absolutely do not listen to me about any of these things.
59:44That is it is crazy, though. It's it's at least enough that I think it's in these guys heads.
59:51It is absolutely at least enough that I think is in these guys heads where.
59:57And how would it not be? If like if.
60:01Okay. Imagine you are. I mean, who's there one?
60:05Okay. Imagine you're Demarcus Robinson and you're like, all right, well, Mike Evans has a hurt quad and pure saws out for the year.
60:15And scribbling just hurt his hamstring and Christian Kirk just hurt his calf.
60:20Now, let me tell you the absolute last person I want to hear weigh in on the 49ers substation is Aaron Rodgers and Pat McAfee.
60:30Let me let me tell you, I don't give a shit what Pat McAfee and Aaron Rodgers have to say about this situation.
60:39Yeah. Zero zero percent. Now, I need to remind all of you guys, I'm trying to I'm trying to fill this league.
60:48I need you guys to go over to NFC dot SH dot GN dot com and go sign up for the draft at 4 p.m.
60:59Eastern time drafting with Nate Knolling, Sammy Reed. We are doing the Gilcastle League.
61:04Sign up and draft draft against us. It's like mold in your house and you develop a cop.
61:12Exactly. Karma for voiding I use deal and holding him hostage.
61:16What if it was? What if it was release BA and it's all over?
61:22What if it was? All right. Well, am I am I going to am I going to have the courage?
61:30People are asking, am I am I going to have the courage to take Shader Sanders on this team?
61:38I think I I think I will. Will Stribbling be the clip player this year?
61:44No, the clip player is more or less confirmed to be Casey Concepcion.
61:49Will the Gilcastle teams have? Well, frankly, I mean, I'd like to do multiple teams, but if we're not able to get
61:58these filled, then we're not going to be able to do very many.
62:03If I can't if we can't fill this 350 today, then we probably are not going to have a chance to do too many of these.
62:14See young. See young. Is that is that one?
62:18Mr. Colby Young. I actually think I have taken him before.
62:22I will. I will not be taking Shader in the flock league room.
62:27I my plan is to take Patrick Mahomes. My my my absolute plan is to take Patrick Mahomes in the flock league.
62:36You know, we'll we'll we'll see. We'll see. But but but but but but yeah.
62:42Oh, my God. I got sniped. I got sniped on Shader Sanders.
62:47OK. All right. Well, all right. Now I will actually take Taekwondo.
62:52Imagine getting sniped on Shader Sanders. Oh, that's tough.
62:56That was tough. If I ever go Keenan Allen, Xavier Thomas and Colby Young.
63:02I mean, that's good. That that's that's probably that's probably the darkest moment.
63:07Of the off of the offseason. All right. Let's recap this team.
63:12We have got Patrick Mahomes and Cam Ward, Jameer Gibbs, DeAndre Swift, Bysheel Tootin, Jalen Warren, Emmett Johnson, Rashi Rice, Zay Flowers,
63:21Makai Lemon, Chris Godwin, Casey Concepcion, Jaden Higgins, Denzel Boston.
63:25Taequann Thornton, Gunner Helm, Dalton Schultz, Pat Fireman with I call that the Spider-Man.
63:31The Spider-Man pointing tight end room. That was actually a pretty good team right there.
63:37Let's go hop in and do another best ball mania draft.
63:41When is the last time you watched Marshawn Lloyd's college tape?
63:46Probably when he was a rookie. I would guess.
63:49Hmm. Shader sneaking into round 17 is definitely a sign of the August apocalypse.
63:55I mean, that is that is 100 percent true.
63:59And just the three quarterback stuff has has jumped a shark to some degree.
64:04Like the three quarterback stuff was based on historical data, but we are now doing it in a different environment.
64:13All right. All right. Hey, drawn a one dot two right here.
64:17Uh, what BBM is this? I think I've got 58 left.
64:22Wow. My guy best ball Noah. Absolute UD crusher Noah in the streets where Noah, are you in the are you in the EPL streets, brother?
64:32Do we have you? Do we have you draft in Jack Grealish yet?
64:38All right. One dot two. I mean, I tell you what, now that you can't get neighbors at the two, three turn
64:47anymore, these these picks a B John and Gibbs better score a bunch of points because the two, three turn does not feel nearly as cozy anymore.
64:58All right. We are drafting with this 77 Philly B TR Smoot capitulate.
65:03Love that. Topes one KYJ Smith sloppy Robles burger sock muffin Hawkeyes for life.
65:09Kenny, the jet and Jay blizzards have ourselves an afternoon as we begin with B John Robinson.
65:16Does Emmett Johnson have any standalone value of canine doesn't get hurt.
65:21The chiefs would have to be significantly better on offense this year than they were last year.
65:28Now, I think that can happen. But if you don't think that can happen, if you think the chiefs are going to be similar.
65:37To how they were last year, I would not draft Emmett Johnson.
65:42I definitely think there is a good chance that I actually don't think this is that wrong.
65:49Do I think there's an edge to being the only two quarterback drafter in a room?
65:56Not for advancing. You almost certainly, like in every form of data, are going to advance more teams with three quarterbacks.
66:04Where you get the edge is in the postseason when you just have another skilled position player.
66:11Can I sell you on Mahomes for this season?
66:15He has never finished outside the top 10 in fantasy football quarterbacks in his career and is being drafted outside the top 10.
66:24It's the most bankable points you will ever find in your life.
66:29Can't really imagine more. Does anyone really think Mahomes is going to be bad?
66:35I can understand being like, oh, you know, Mahomes, maybe he doesn't have the same ceiling.
66:41You know, maybe Mahomes can't win MVP. Yada, yada.
66:45Does anyone really think that Mahomes is going to be a bad fantasy quarterback?
66:51I don't know. Maybe. I'm sure some people probably do.
66:55I have a hard time getting there. Two, three turns seems gross.
67:00I really worry about neighbors upside. I'm not really that worried about neighbors, but a lot of a lot of people are worried about neighbors.
67:10There are. There are other. There are other people who are worried about neighbors.
67:16I mean, 15 points per game is like worse than Sam Darnold, which I mean, hey, I don't know.
67:23I guess it I guess it can happen. Sam Darnold last season.
67:2813.8 points per game. The quarterback 27. He had games.
67:32He did have games of 27, 27 and 22.
67:36You know. I don't know. Rogers is, I believe, my second most drafted quarterback, maybe my third most drafted quarterback.
67:44He's one of the most annoying human beings in human history, but he is priced pretty good for fantasy football.
67:52All right. All right. Well, one pick away. Drake London goes and please give me the chance to take Malik neighbors.
68:01Please take Nico Collins. This is right. This is right.
68:05This is right where I have neighbors ranked. It's always an auto drafter, bro.
68:11It's always an auto drafter. Right. Malik neighbors, Bijan and neighbors.
68:15It's quite, it's quite the start. The problem is the Chiefs have the rest of the division finally got competent coaches in front offices.
68:25Yeah. I don't know, brother. I don't know about that.
68:29I'm taking Jeremiah Love. I am. I personally am not that afraid of Jeremiah Love.
68:35I want to take neighbors over rice of the two, three turn to redirect, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it.
68:46Why can't you just take them both? If you're at the, if you're at the two, three turn, why can't you take them both?
68:55I, it, it has to be the worst points per game by a quarterback that had the wide receiver one.
69:04Yeah. I mean, Stafford actually the Cooper cup year.
69:07So the year that Cooper cup won offensive player of the year, Stafford was not nearly as good as people remember.
69:16Stafford had one of his best fantasy football seasons ever last year.
69:21It was the first time since 2021 that he had finished above quarterback 10.
69:26He was the quarterback three last year. So the 2021 year for Stafford, if we go back, he never topped 30 points.
69:35And finished as a top five quarterback. One, two, three, four.
69:40I have more times than I thought. Actually, I guess I kind of misremembered that season, but I, I, uh, to, to get back to the point.
69:51Wow. Javante and Kyron at 27, 28 here. Things are, things are, are, Nico Collins at pick 29.
69:58Capitulate got St. Brown, AJ Brown, and Nico. I only have one pick at the two, three turn of pickings.
70:06I'm pickings is very good. What pick position is most likely to be optimal this year?
70:13I mean, it's probably pick one getting, getting Gibbs and you just get the, you just get the right combination of wide receivers at that turn.
70:23Cause the wide receivers available at the two, three turn are, are pretty nutty.
70:29And there are, there are some teams. This is, this hasn't been very many teams, but like, there are some teams that have Gibbs and Bowers together here.
70:40Let me check the old combos tool. We'll go, or we'll check Bijan and Bowers.
70:47Cause I bet I, that's it. I'm, I bet that's a combo that exists.
70:52What 1% of teams. Yeah. So there, there was definitely a time where you were able to get Bowers there.
71:00What would you say are the chances Nathaniel Hackett gets fired mid season?
71:06I mean, definitely not zero, right? Is there a guy that makes the same leap as Pickens, not being able to separate?
71:15I think Pickens always knew how to separate. I mean, it could be a dunes.
71:21A is one of the guys where he's just like been a bad NFL player, but I could see him getting a lot better.
71:31Um, Brian Thomas jr. Although Brian Thomas jr. Has already been a one, two turn pick.
71:37I could see Brian Thomas jr. Being like a second round pick next year.
71:43Hmm. I got stuck next to an auto draft or story in my life.
71:49I will, I will happily take Terry McLaurin at 47.
71:53All right. Let's do. I mean, I'll, I'll do some dipperino here on Mike Evans.
71:59Yeah, I will do. I will do pick 50 dipperino.
72:03Uh, enlightenment. Here's the deal, man. I've given you enough times.
72:07You're starting to really annoy me. You're banned. You're, you're in timeout, bro.
72:13You are, you are. Annoying me. You're done. Uh, Luther burden, slow to get up after hit.
72:20Yeah. I've not seen, I've not seen, uh, an update, not seen an update on that.
72:26So I'm, I'm assuming that no news equals good news on Luther burden, slow to get up or no news is he's, he's dusted.
72:36Why is your Darian price stuck in the sixties?
72:39He's competing against a guy with a torn up knee and George Shalani.
72:45Michael, I couldn't agree with you anymore. I am, uh, I'm, I'm completely getting it.
72:51Uh, seems like, seems like burdens. Okay. No, no update.
72:55No update on burden here. Actually, here you go.
72:59Burden burden talking. Yeah. Yeah. He's, he's back. He's back at practice.
73:04Burden burden talking in the media here. Yeah. We're, we're good to go.
73:09We're good to go on Luther burden. Luther burden, a third on a potential breakout this season.
73:16I expect to have a good explosive year. I feel like it's going to be fun to watch high explosive plays, making
73:25people miss scoring touchdowns, winning games, having a lot of fun out there with my teammates.
73:31What are the chances? Charbonnet becomes the goal line back.
73:35The second he comes back, it's probably, well, frankly, it, it just, it really depends on how well Jadarian price plays, right?
73:44Like if Jadarian price is returning the average value of a first round running back, guess what?
73:51He's going to be, he's going to, he's going to play a shit ton.
73:57If Jadarian price stinks, he's not going to get to play very much.
74:02Uh, yes, I am maxing the eliminator. I'm doing them all as slows.
74:08So I have zero left. What is Stefan digs is ADP.
74:12If he goes to the commanders, he will go in the seventies.
74:17He goes to Miami. He will probably be in the nineties would be my guess.
74:23The issue with thinking that price is going to, uh, the issue would be that, um, like sharps is just not very good.
74:32So sharps not being very good means that if price comes in and does play very well, I have a hard time seeing price going to the bench.
74:44And I could, I mean, Hey, I've been wrong about these things before, but I, I am happy to take Jadarian price when he is available to me.
74:55All right. So I just want to look up draft status.
75:00I want to look up all first round running backs since 2010 and see how many of them were like actual bus year one.
75:09How do I feel about bears wide receiver depth this year?
75:14I think Zabian Thomas is pretty interesting for fantasy football.
75:18The concept of thinking of first round pick is going to be a guy.
75:24Well, I mean, Hey, they, they did, they did put Ken Walker on the bench for sharps.
75:31Wow. Around six QJ man round six QJ. Don't, don't think I've seen very much of that one.
75:38We're about to be at pick 71. I mean, I would, uh, uh, no, that NFBC league should not be, it is, it is three of 12.
75:49It is, it is, uh, it is three of 12 Lou.
75:53Do you want me to, uh, do you want me to send you the link again?
76:00It's the, it is the four, it is the 4 PM Eastern draft on the, on the NFC.
76:07There you go. Um, yeah, dude, I'm taking Makai lemon again.
76:12I'm not scared. All right. So we've got B John Robinson, Malik neighbors, Jeremiah love Terry McLaurin, Jane Daniels, Tyler Warren, Makai
76:21lemon did not have the opportunity to take Jane Daniels on this team.
76:26Uh, yes. So it sounds like my guy Lou is going to hop in, but no, this, this league is not full.
76:35I'm very much hoping that it fills in the next three hours.
76:40A link to that is in the description. How good of a rookie would CH have been if sharps was available?
76:49Uh, they did have Charbonnet available. His name is Damian Williams.
76:53They did have Charbonnet on the roster. All right.
76:57So, oh, hold on. Let me change the criteria criteria to fan dual points because that mimics fan dual points are basically the same as underdog points.
77:08I guess they don't have it. All right. PPR points per game.
77:13All right. So this is all first round running backs.
77:17The biggest bus were David Wilson, who broke his neck.
77:21Rashad Penny for the Seahawks, who legitimately didn't play.
77:24CJ Spiller, who was behind Fred Taylor. Melvin Gordon, who actually got the ball a ton, just literally did not score a touchdown.
77:34Mark Ingram, who is splitting with Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles.
77:38Sony Michelle, who is splitting with my God, it's been so long.
77:43I actually forgot. I actually forgot who was Sony Michelle splitting touches with year one.
77:49Year one, he got 209 rushes and split touches with James White, Corderell Patterson, Rex Burkhead, and Kenyon Barner.
77:57All right. Well, hey, that was something that existed.
78:01Travis Etienne, Ryan Matthews, job at best, CMC, Gentry.
78:04I mean, you know, I don't know. I don't see much of a reason to be down there.
78:12Blunt and White. That wasn't the blunt year, right?
78:15Blunt was the next year. Can anybody sell me on JSN?
78:20He feels like the least likely to pay off his ADP.
78:24I mean, I think JSN is just a very good player.
78:29I would say if you were looking to make a case for anyone to fade or to be lighter on in the
78:38first round, I think the easiest cases are JSN and Jonathan Taylor.
78:43All right. We are coming up. We've got two running backs.
78:47If we get to five, man, we spent a lot of capital on them.
78:53I mean, Dowdle, honestly, Dowdle, this is a, this is, what is the Dipperino on Dowdle about here?
79:00I'll do, I'll do a little Dipperino on Dowdle there as my running back three.
79:06I guess he had a bad practice the other day.
79:10True. James White, James White was the absolute PPR scam king.
79:15That's true. I don't think you can say CMC has to be a fade because of the substation, because he was practicing
79:24next to the substation last year and homeboy was fine.
79:28All right. Then we're going to take Purdy. So we have got Purdy, Bijan, Love, Debo, Neighbors, McLaurin, Evans, Lemon, and Tyler Warren.
79:37It's actually a nice little team here. Yeah. I think I, I think I saw this.
79:44Dowdle like missed a pass blocking assignment or something.
79:47And then Aaron Rodgers yelled at him. Yes. Aaron Rodgers yelled at Dowdle in practice and he dropped around in basketball.
79:56Shout out to my goat, Danny Woodhead and Shane Vereen for paving the way for, for James White.
80:03I would, I would say the two players who have been added and dropped in fantasy football, uh, the most of all
80:12time, like truly the most of all time are Shane Vereen and Lee Evans.
80:18Shane, Shane Vereen and Lee Evans. I would say those have got to be the most added and dropped players in the history of fantasy football.
80:29Shane Vereen never topped 96 rushes in a season did have seasons of 59 and 52 receptions.
80:36I think it's got to be those have to be the two most added and dropped players in the history of fantasy football.
80:45Is it possible? CMC is using the substation as a front for his vampiric health restoration, using his teammates to spotter.
80:53Absolutely. Uh, Wicks has not been around long enough, but I, but of course, yeah, Wicks, Wicks deserves to be part of that conversation.
81:03Lee Evans is the all timer though. Lee Evans had a 1200 yard, eight touchdown season and a thousand yard, three touchdown season.
81:13But let's go look at this 2006 season. Even in this 2006 season, there would have been spots where you would have thought about dropping him.
81:23Uh, well, maybe not. I guess this season was really, really good.
81:28The 11 for two 65 and two. Uh, but he, he, he, you know, he never returned to those levels in his career.
81:37Ooh, taste him Hill. Yep. Yep. Sorry. I don't know.
81:42I don't know how I forgot my goat, uh, my goat, my goat, taste him Hill, Sammy Watkins, for sure.
81:50I guess the thing about Taysom is that Taysom has also been around for a long time.
81:57Uh, yeah, the fact, the fact that Taysom has been on the, been on the team for so long is, uh, is
82:06a big, is a big part of it. So, barring any more injuries, do you think Stripling and Debo, I think Stripling
82:15and Debo's ADPs on underdog are right about where they're going to go.
82:20Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't, I mean, I would, I ranked Debo a little bit ahead of this late stage Odell Beckham Jr.
82:29Yeah. There's been, there's been many of those. All right.
82:33We have got a one, three, four, one. And then is this, is this a Kittle team?
82:40Latavious Murray, Latavious Murray too. I mean, I guess if you're going to take Kittle, this is a good team to do
82:49it on where you already have Tyler Warren. We can wait until round 18.
82:54There's not a, there's not a quarterback here for me to take.
82:59The issue is, is do I want to set up another quarterback?
83:04Cause I don't have another quarterback. Yeah. I'm going to take Kittle.
83:09I'm going to take Kittle. Kristen Michael. Okay. Kristen Michael way high up there.
83:15Yes. Yeah. Kristen Michael for sure. And then do I want to do, do I want to do JCM?
83:23I do want to do JCM. Yeah. JCM. All right.
83:27Purdy, Bijan, love, doubtle, JCM, Malik neighbors, Terry McLaurin, Mike Evans, Makai, Lemon, Tyler Warren, George Kittle kind of shaping up to be a nice little team.
83:38Isaiah likely, except the issue is, is I, so I don't think Isaiah likely counts for this because the Isaiah likely guy never drops him.
83:48I could be, I could be tempted. I could be tempted into doing one more draft.
83:54I could be, I could be talked into doing one more.
83:59How about this? If, if, if one person, if we get one more additional person to sign up for, for this three 50, I'll do one more.
84:10How about that? Can I get, can we get one?
84:14This is so annoying, dude. I feel like, I feel like last year I didn't have to do, I didn't have to do any of this.
84:25I didn't have to do any of this begging to get the, they just snap filled.
84:31There you go. There you go. There's always a likely guy.
84:36What kind of setback can you have with a hernia?
84:40Should we worried about Sadiq? I mean, I guess, I don't, I, I had actually not thought about that.
84:47What is the setback with a hernia surgery? I mean, I, I guess I would assume that it just is not healed properly.
84:57Now, I, I mean, please do not mistake me for a doctor, but can you, can you get another hernia?
85:05So like, let's say you have the hernia procedure.
85:09Can it, can it re-herniate? Like, cause if I understand a hernia correctly and I probably don't cause I'm very stupid.
85:17Isn't it like they don't they, um, don't they like, uh, put a mesh net in?
85:24Yeah, there you go. The mesh, the mesh can fail most likely abdominal muscle related.
85:30Yeah, they do put a mesh in. Okay. So I guess, I guess I would have never thought about it, but I guess that can fail.
85:40I don't know. I mean, it doesn't, I will say it doesn't sound great for Kenyon Sadiq.
85:47I wouldn't say it's like, I wouldn't say it's like the most positive news of all time.
85:54So I'm not like I right now I'm not really drafting him.
85:59I would say, I would say I am not actively targeting him in fantasy football drafts right now.
86:06I would be, I would be not looking forward to doing that.
86:11All right. We're about to be at pick one 43.
86:15Three. I'm just going to take Daniel Jones cause I've got the stack set up.
86:22And the setback was Sadiq is he was way overdrafted and won't be ready to contribute.
86:28Well, I mean, I'm not really drafting Mason Taylor either.
86:32Not really, not really all that interested in drafting Mason Taylor, frankly.
86:37Um, but, but, but, but all right, I'm going to take Denzel Boston again on this team.
86:44There's a, there's a little bit of, there's a little bit of spring news that I'm buying or summer news that I'm buying.
86:53I am buying that Denzel Boston looks way better than Jerry Judy.
86:58I'll admit it. I was, I was drafting some Jerry Judy.
87:03It was like, Oh, Jerry Judy, 8.5 fantasy points.
87:06Uh, you know, all that, you know, 8.5 fantasy points per game.
87:11It's like, yeah, man, maybe, maybe some guys are dust though.
87:16Like once some guys bite the dust, there's, there's never a re dustening.
87:21It just, it just is what it is. Uh, no, watch this.
87:26I do not smoke weed. How many high stakes managed drafts do I plan on streaming in August?
87:33I mean, I'd like to, I'd like to stream plenty, but I can't even fill one.
87:40I've got one. I've got one in two and a half hours that won't fill Scorpion.
87:46So I can't, I can't stream them if they don't fill tough scene.
87:52I'd like to, I'd like to do plenty though.
87:55The me, I, the miracle is that we did get one Judy season.
88:01That's true. The Denzel Shadur late stack looks beautiful on paper.
88:05Yeah. I mean, someone, someone asked earlier in the stream, what's a, what's a situation where you're going to go.
88:13Oops. How about realizing you drafted a ton of Cleveland Browns players, and then you realize that you drafted a ton of Cleveland Browns players.
88:23How about that? That feels pretty bad, right? Like, Oh man, I got Judkins.
88:29I got Dylan Samson. I got Fannin. I got Concepcion.
88:33I got Boston. And then the game start. And you're like, Oh man, I'm watching.
88:39I'm watching Deshaun Watson play football right now. I think this is the year we finally let go of some name recognition on these old wide receivers.
88:50I mean, there's plenty of them that get drafted, right?
88:54Jennings, Cooper cup, um, Calvin Ridley, Jerry Judy. Who else?
88:58Uh, I mean, Malik Washington's kind of a name recognition guy.
89:03Keenan Allen. I mean, this will, this will sure, this surely has to be the last year that Keenan Allen plays.
89:11People, people forget. People do forget. Shadurs had a 35 point week.
89:16That's true. Yeah, that is, that is a hundred percent true.
89:21DJ more. Yeah. Oh, DJ more. DJ more is basically Jerry Judy, but being drafted in, uh, in round five or whatever.
89:30I have not been drafting more Malik. I've been drafting more Greg Dolcich.
89:35If Malik Washington is your wide receiver one, the answer to that is you should probably draft Greg Dolcich.
89:43All right. Let's do, do, do, do. What do we do?
89:47What do we do? Florida. I mean, this is a, this is a dipper Reno on Tucker actually.
89:55Full, full round dipper Reno on Trey Tucker. And then that sets me up Mendoza.
90:01Yeah, I'll do that. Trey Tucker. Jalen Naylor bags at zero.
90:05If DJ more was on the chiefs, I'd fall over myself to draft him.
90:11Probably. Yeah. But chiefs wide receivers score fantasy points.
90:15Bills wide receivers do not score fantasy points. So it's still be based in reality.
90:21Dylan Sampson. Dylan Sampson is a good pick. Brock Purdy, Daniel Jones, Bijan Robinson, Jeremiah Love, Rico Dowdle, JCM, Dylan Sampson, Neighbors,
90:30McLaurin, Evans, Lemon, Boston, McLaurin, and Kittle. Pretty good team.
90:34Does Shadur have the pedigree though? Shadur is just not, he's, I mean, Hey, I'm about to draft Shadur on this team,
90:43but he, he is just not, he's not that good.
90:47He really, he really is not that good. That is, that is the issue.
90:53I wish he was, you know, people, people get this wrong.
90:57When I say that a player is bad, I want good quarterbacks.
91:02I want, in my life, 30, 32 NFL teams would have good quarterback play, good head coaching, like good head coaching, good offensive coordinator.
91:12Every third wide receiver would be good. Every, every team would play their pass catching tight end ahead of their Dawson Knox.
91:21Cause that would make fantasy football way, way more fun, you know, but that's just not the way it goes.
91:29The Kansas city to bills wide receiver scoring point is similar to the Casey running backs versus reads.
91:36Uh, I can't, yeah, I guess that's fair. I mean, not that I, I guess maybe I should reframe, I should reframe
91:45it a little bit, which is that the way that Andy Reed sets things up is guys are able to score fantasy points better than they actually are.
91:57Whereas the bill scheme actually makes it that good players score less than they are worth.
92:03Like I actually do think Kalil Shakira is a pretty good player, but the way that Joe Brady calls his offense and
92:12the way that the team distributes their, their touchdown.
92:16I, Kadarius, Tony, eight, nine, six, nine. I really mean this truly.
92:21I I'm, I'm always curious about this philosophy. You are always just so negative.
92:26You are, you never have a kind thing to say ever.
92:31Why do you watch me? There's gotta be, there has to be at least 10 other best ball streams live right now.
92:40Seriously. I mean, I bet if I go search on YouTube right now, I bet if I go search best ball, there's
92:49gotta be three other people live right now. Has to be.
92:53There's, there's so many options in your life. There's just gotta be something you would rather watch, bro.
93:01Truly. I'm not, I'm not even mad about it.
93:04I'm just, I'm just serious, dude. You there. There's gotta be something you would rather be doing with your time for real.
93:13Go read, go read a book, man. It's, it's a, it's a, it's a nice day outside.
93:20Come on, dude. Go call your mom, please. All right, man.
93:25I am. I about to take, oh man. I think I actually am going to take Shadur on this team.
93:33Uh, no, actually. I'm going to take, I'm going to take booty.
93:38I watch your content so I can figure out who I want to fade.
93:43I, I, man. Don't draft Terrence Ferguson. I don't know.
93:47I don't, I don't know what to, I don't know what to tell you.
93:53All right. Do I take a third quarterback here?
93:57Do I just wing it again? I'm definitely taking a third tight end.
94:02Kate Otten seems fine. Shadur, Watson, Penix, and Tua.
94:06They, I mean, they definitely can't. And they're probably all going to be good advance rate clicks.
94:13I'm actually going to take Evan Ingram. Uh, this was, uh, I didn't, I didn't really see very many people pick up on this one.
94:23This was like a very small tweet I saw the other day, but it had me, it had me thinking, which is
94:32like, first off, Evan Ingram is not a hundred percent drafted.
94:36And he's like pretty clearly a starting, a starting tight end, but Ben Albright, who a lot of people have varied opinions
94:45about Ben Albright, but he is at training camp every single day.
94:50Um, and he does talk to the coaches. He sees the team.
94:55I got to try and see if I can find this tweet.
95:00It was a reply to someone else. Here you go.
95:04This was from Albright the other day. Replying to a tweet that said, I'm a sneaky Evan Ingram believer this year.
95:13And Albright says same. And I wasn't last year.
95:16So that just, that had me, that had me thinking like maybe there's something with Evan Ingram, Evan, Evan Ingram.
95:24He might be the eyebrow raise. I mean, he is, he is legit.
95:30He is legit. Like an every down player for a good offense that is going to, that is going to throw the ball a ton.
95:40People forget Bo Nix. Bo Nix led the national football league in past attempts last year.
95:46That was, that was something in researching this off season.
95:50I, I would, you could have given me, I don't know, man, you could have given me like a lot of guesses
95:59and I would not have got that Bo Nix led the NFL in past attempts last year.
96:06Now, those are pretty fake past attempts. Cause a lot of them were like screens and stuff.
96:13Like if you go look at the, if you go look at the 2025 Broncos, like a lot of these receptions, like
96:2211 receptions for Dobbins, 19 for Beatty, 20 for, for Troutman.
96:27A lot of these were super close to the line of scrimmage.
96:32Like every, like every Lucas Kroll target was right next to the line of scrimmage rank.
96:38I don't think, I don't think I've got any player over 30%.
96:43I don't, I, I would be, I would be pretty surprised if I had anyone over 30%.
96:50I maybe, maybe T Ferg is close. Maybe our, our quantitative has gotten you to Evan Ingram more than most.
96:58I'm going to take Kilar just for me. Hey, Tim, hope you're having a great day, man.
97:05Hope you're, hope you're seeing the sun. Hope you're, hope you're having your, your best day, bro.
97:12Uh, any viable round 18 scrolls? I mean, I like, I like Keenan Allen.
97:18I do like Kilar. Um, Jack Besh, I think is clickable.
97:22Zabian Thomas, I think is clickable. Brennan Thomas, uh, Brennan, Brennan Thompson is clickable.
97:28Honestly, there are a lot of scrolls at running back.
97:32Ollie Gordon, Adam Randall, Isaiah Davis, Samaj P. Ryan, Giddens, Giddens and McGowan.
97:37I think are, are all legitimately viable. Uh, am I confident that T for gets more snaps than Parkinson?
97:45No, no, I'm not. I really am not. I don't, I, in fact, in fact, I think he, I think he probably won't.
97:54If you, if you made me, if you made me bet right now, who, who plays more snaps week one and I am going to take Shadur?
98:05I, if you made me, if you made me bet right now, I would say Parkinson plays more week one.
98:13Uh, final team, Brock Purdy, Daniel Jones, Shadur Sanders, B.
98:18John Robinson, Jeremiah Love, Rico Dowdle, Corey Krosky, Merritt, Dylan Sampson, Malik Nabors, Terry McLaurin, Mike Evans, Makai Lemon, Denzel Boston, Trey
98:27Tucker, Kayshawn Booty, Tyler Warren, George Kittle, and Evan Ingram.
98:31Jam. All right. I said I would do one more.
98:35I will do. I will do one more. One more ad for the league over on the NFFC drafting at 4 p.m.
98:44Eastern, 3 p.m. Central, doing a draft with the Gilcast guys, assuming that it fills $350, $250,000 to first place.
98:52Please, please go sign up and come draft with us.
98:56Uh, not like he was ever alive in the first place, but is Jarquez Hunter completely dead?
99:03I've literally not heard his name. He's not even, uh, Mike Clay doesn't even have him projected.
99:10Uh, yes, I will be, I will be maxing on DraftKings for sure.
99:15I think I have 40 more drafts left to do on DraftKings, so just, just about done over there.
99:23Uh, is Zachariah Branch the clear number two wide receiver?
99:27I would say right now, the team probably thinks it's Jahan Dotson, but Zachariah Branch is.
99:33Better than Jahan Dotson, having a good training camp.
99:37And I, I really like Zachariah Branch as a prospect.
99:41A lot of other smart people really did not.
99:45A lot of other smart people said, guy, guy basically stinks.
99:49He, all he does is do screens and things.
99:53I disagree, but I've been wrong about these things many, many, many times.
99:58All right. We are drafting in Best Ball Mania.
100:02We are drafting with John Ferdano, King Calorie, Shark Tiger, Bite21, Sloppy Robisberger, Nosy Dave, Wookiees, D-Vandy Bro, Sequin1280, PrizePixGoat24, and KennyTheJet.
100:11I'm drafting out of the 11 spot. Let's have a smash here.
100:16Uh, what tournaments do I play on DraftKings? Pretty much all of them.
100:21I mean, I'm not, I probably won't do one in the five, five, five, but I'll put entries in most of them.
100:30Thoughts on T Ferg's ADP by the end of summer?
100:34I don't know. That's a good question. I mean, he's definitely going to continue to rise.
100:41There's probably a ceiling on how high he can rise without a specific blurb from Sean McVay or, I mean, you know, Colby Parkinson got traded.
100:51Colby Parkinson got cut. Colby Parkinson got injured. Then there could probably be, there could probably be something that goes on there.
101:00Why does no one ever mention that Super Bowl MVP Dion Branch is his pops?
101:06Is that true? I did not know that about Zachariah Branch.
101:11If that is true, I've drafted a lot of Zachariah Branch without ever knowing that.
101:17The thing that I know about Zachariah Branch was that he was like a giga mega five-star prospect.
101:24He was ranked number six nationally by ESPN, and he was the top wide receiver of his class out of high school.
101:33Yeah, he is not the unbranch's kid. Quick Google would indicate that Zachariah Branch is not the unbranch's kid.
101:41So, cap. Capola. This is what I've said. Guy who only catches screen seems to go well with Tua Tagovailoa.
101:49Mr. Screen Thrower himself. All right, well, probably going to be a Gentie team here.
101:55He's Dion Branch's cousin? The main reason they don't say it is because it's not true.
102:02So, I think this is why he got drafted in the third round is because he's like a crazy sick punt returner and kick returner.
102:12All right. Well, Gentie it is. Fine by me.
102:16Happy to start a team with Gentie and happy to start a team with Kenneth Walker.
102:22The old Gentie Walker star. That's got to be one of my most drafted combinations.
102:28I'm not even motivated to draft BBM with fourth round neighbors teams.
102:33Yeah, I got to say, I'm not with this line of thinking at all because none of this has ever happened.
102:42Oh, teams with Tyreek Hill super late did not win.
102:46BBM too. I mean, there's just you can think of all the examples of this of a guy being a huge riser where guys got him cheaper.
102:57That guy has never showed up on a BBM winning team.
103:01Doesn't mean that you shouldn't be thinking about it.
103:05You can think about it and you can try and more smartly construct teams if you want to take Malik neighbors.
103:13But there are ways around fourth round Malik neighbors.
103:17Like what if I told you right now Malik neighbors in the fourth round had a 22% advance rate.
103:25But he scores 11 points in week 17. Then then what do you do?
103:31You still don't want to draft. You still don't want to draft at all.
103:36Well, I do. I do remember this to the point that I was convinced about it when people were saying that Denzel Boston.
103:46Was David Boston's dad. Wow. My guy, Mr. Betts 38% neighbors at the old price.
103:52It's true. Gentie Walker is the ball knower start, Andrew, which means you're a ball knower.
103:58You can own a nice plane, but after you take off, can you land it?
104:04So wise wisdom wisdom being dropped here today in the channel.
104:09You'll have to see it drafted a lot of teams today.
104:13Gotten through a good amount of teams, but still have not filled this league.
104:19I mean, this is basically for someone like me.
104:23This is the most annoying thing because. Like I've got this I've got this scheduled out.
104:29And so now this is now this is like ruining my day because now I have like my work plan for the
104:38day and my work plan for the week. And it included filling this draft and this draft is not going to fill.
104:47And so now I'm going to have to mess my whole workflow up for the day.
104:54You really hate it. Mason Taylor, a sneaky best ball pick.
104:58He's fine. I don't know. You guys really want to be clicking Mason Taylor.
105:04I would rather I would rather choose the click.
105:08That could be anything, even a boat. So, you know, I'd rather click Eli Reardon.
105:14You know, is it stupid to take Gente before St.
105:18Brown, CMC and JT? I would have I would have a real hard time.
105:23I would have a real hard time clicking Gente before CMC, I think.
105:29I have never made a video for beginner content creators.
105:33I mean, there's there's a lot of there's a lot of good stuff about how to create content out there.
105:41I mean, frankly, the biggest thing is if you want to create content, if you want to if you want to do
105:50what I do, if you want to do what Pete does.
105:54Number one thing to do is just to start doing it.
105:59You learn more. By doing than you will from having any of us tell you anything.
106:05Because you're going to make your own mistakes. You're going to learn like there's just there's so much latent information in all
106:14this stuff that you pick up just by by doing it.
106:19But yeah, we'll take T Higgins as our top wide receiver here.
106:24Gente Walker Higgins to start. I will I will not be picking artisanal Malik Benson in this draft.
106:31I won't be. I won't be. And I will take Garrett Wilson.
106:36Garrett Wilson, a guy, my guy, I'm Ron St.
106:40Brown. Did Peter's show yesterday. And when he hopped on Peter's show, he made the point that which is actually true.
106:48Ron is a Jets fan who did not draft any Jets last year, but is drafting a ton of Jets this year.
106:57He is drafting a ton of a ton of Brees and a ton of Garrett Wilson.
107:04So that was enough to make me to make me interested.
107:08No, I do not have a promo code with the NFFC.
107:13I don't. I do know that if you Josh, if you do three teams, there's a discount right now that I think
107:22goes away a little bit closer to the start of the year.
107:27So if you buy the three pack, you get a discount.
107:31I have made my own projections in the past.
107:35I've not made my own. I actually I actually had grand plans.
107:40This is actually true. I had grand plans to make projections this year.
107:45I built the spreadsheet out. I did everything I needed to do and I was ready to start working on it.
107:53Then underdog released a soccer tournament. So they released EPL best ball.
107:58And when underdog released EPL best ball, my non like streaming hours, my non like content hours went to building.
108:06This tool right here. So I built this here.
108:10Let's see if I refresh. It might not even be working right now.
108:15Yeah. So I built I built this draft helper tool for EPL best ball.
108:21So. The the the project of doing my own fantasy football projections went down with my quarterback is Justin Fields, I would avoid everyone to.
108:31Pete has marketed himself very well. He's very funny.
108:35Yeah, I mean, Pete Pete is the goat. I mean, Pete is that he's the absolute king, right?
108:42I mean, he he's a legit one on one.
108:46He's the goat. So where do you even start making your own projections?
108:51So under the where I started, I made I made this whole spreadsheet.
108:57So back in the day when I worked at Daily Roto with Drew Dinkmeyer and Michael Leone and I worked on I
109:06was I was on the projections team with those guys.
109:10Then I actually had a old spreadsheet that we all work together on.
109:15So what I did was I downloaded the whole old spreadsheet.
109:19I gave it to Claude and I said, hey, I want to update and make a 2026 version of this.
109:28Then I put the Mike Clay projections in. And then I said, you know, this is the base that I want to start working off of.
109:38And she started adjusting market shares and efficiency from there.
109:42But it's I mean, like the stuff that like ETR would be doing right now is it would it would it would bend your brain.
109:52To see how hard they are. They are working on stuff.
109:57Do I think the field gets sharper with the help of AI to build these tools?
110:03I would guess, honestly, most people are are not they do not know what they're doing and they are building Claude slop.
110:12I would guess I would guess a lot of people are going to be led in a very bad direction.
110:21With the use of AI, I'm going to take Jadarian Price in the fifth round.
110:27I don't care. I don't care. I'll take Jadarian Price.
110:31I would guess that a lot of I would guess that a lot of people are doing doing a bad job of them.
110:40And I'm also going to take you know what?
110:44I will take Carnell Tate instead of Jordan Tyson.
110:47So the reason why I think that you can include someone else's projections, it's basically the equivalent of market baking.
110:56Some people do or some people do origination like they do everything from the ground up.
111:02Like Cardi, I believe, does his projections from the ground up.
111:07But the reason why if you were trying to create your own projections while you would import someone else's would be to
111:16have a baseline to start working off of. And to have all the the statistical categories.
111:22Right. So you have carries, you have a dot or you have, you know, league average passing yards, you have you have all these things.
111:32Yeah, Gretch does include a dot in his projections.
111:36I mean, Gretch, the work that the ETE guys have done on their the projection podcast is very cool.
111:44Buddy, not only do I remember Sharkandrick West, I remember Spencer Ware.
111:49Besides your home league, how many managed leagues do you do?
111:53I'm doing a bunch of Boomer Yahoo this year.
111:57I do between 30 and 50 managed leagues, depending on the year.
112:02Jonathan Brooks not playing Thursday. I mean, I would I would say slightly lean on it being.
112:09Bad, slightly, slightly lean on bad. Bad, I would I would like to I would like to see him get tackled.
112:17It's true. It's true. Nile Nile Davis is the real one.
112:22What Claude subscription of any do you have? I have Claude Max.
112:26So it's the one hundred dollar a month one.
112:30When I was building the slap model, I use Claude Max Plus, which is the two hundred dollar a month one because
112:39I just wanted to get it done. Um. The I whenever I try and build anything for like most people, I would
112:48say the twenty dollar Claude is good enough. Like twenty dollar Claude is fine.
112:54But if you were trying to build a sim based tool for anything.
112:59Getting a little bit of extra money in there is is probably fine.
113:04The Hall of Fame game never has any actual players and except for Josh Jacobs.
113:11Do you remember Josh Jacobs started the Hall of Fame game?
113:15Remember you remember that? How about I just want to see Jonathan Brooks get tackled one time.
113:22How about before we start taking Jonathan Brooks in the sixth round?
113:27I see him get tackled once. Can I can I can I request to see Jonathan Brooks get tackled one time before
113:36we take him ahead of Jadarian Price? KLS was in the Hall of Fame game.
113:42Yeah, caught it caught a touchdown in the Hall of Fame game.
113:47Um. Um. I think if you built a projection model.
113:51As a spreadsheet and not as a uh like our dash project or whatever.
113:57I think the twenty dollar sub would be fine.
114:00Uh. If you want to get I posted the I posted the the EPL.
114:06I posted the EPL thing in the discord. And if you want to be in the discord all you have to do
114:15is spend five bucks a month to be a YouTube member.
114:19Five bucks a month gets you in the discord.
114:23It is it is basically it is basically the best discord in fantasy football.
114:29I would say I and you know what? There is no second best either.
114:34There is no second best. I'm taking downs here, bro.
114:39I don't care. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of Josh downs.
114:43I'm really not. Hey, it's going it's going higher.
114:47Yeah, I actually have noticed this as well. There's been there's been very little buzz on Elijah Surratt.
114:54Very, very little buzz on Elijah Surratt. All right.
114:58I'm going to use actually. You know what? You know what, dude?
115:03I'm fucking I don't care. I don't care if Jonathan Brooks gets tackled.
115:08Pick eighty six. Pick eighty six. Is best ball week next week?
115:13I don't know. No, it's not. Best ball week is not going to be until significantly later.
115:20I think there I believe they are saving best ball week for the final week in August or the first week in
115:29September when I signed my contract with Draft Kings for this year.
115:34They they had not determined when the final week would be.
115:38It's fine. It's fine to take him in the eighth round before seeing him tackled.
115:45Yes. Eighth round is fine. Bets baller confirming I've truly enjoyed the discord.
115:50I wouldn't lie. I wouldn't lie. And frankly, to be real about it, if you're going to have bad vibes.
115:58We honestly we honestly don't we don't want you in the discord.
116:03That bad vibes in a discord are brutal. So if you are going to have bad vibes, we actually don't want you.
116:12Yeah. Brooks going in the one thirties and one twenties.
116:16I mean, brother. I can I can show you things about Jonathan Brooks that'll make your eyes bleed.
116:23No update on the drafters reload bonus. Let me let me text it.
116:29I'll text him right now, bro. I will text my.
116:33I'll say people are asking pretty much every 10 minutes about the reload bonus.
116:38Hey, Cadareous, if you if you wanted to come in and have good vibes, we would be we would be happy to have you.
116:48We really would be happy to have you. But if you're if you're just going to be an really what it is,
116:57is it's more like if you're annoying. Because it really is a good it's a nice harmonious atmosphere where we just talk
117:06about fantasy football 24 seven and ruining the harmonious atmosphere.
117:10It's it's a foul. All right. I got to pull up.
117:15I got to pull up my my average Jonathan Brooks ADP currently right now.
117:20I have 238 Jonathan Brooks teams. And my average pick of him is 20 spots of ADP value.
117:28So I'm happy with that. What is Brooks done to be drafted over Hubbard?
117:33Yeah, I mean, basically, basically, it's just people are people are over Hubbard.
117:39That's honestly, I mean, that's that's all it is.
117:42All right, man, what's my planet quarterback here? I'm actually going to take gain well and then just be done at running back.
117:52The flock best ball tool does not do DK drafts, but it has all the overlay tools.
117:59And then I am going to do you know what?
118:03You know what? Let's just take Mayfield, man. Let's take Mayfield network error.
118:08Okay. All right. We're good. Mayfield 110 is fine.
118:12Do I feel bad about the three dollars of Chris Brooks?
118:16I own. Yeah. Yeah, I do. Well, three dollars of Chris Brooks or twenty five dollars of Raheem Blackshear.
118:24What's worse? What is worse? Scorpion, the survival terminal.
118:28I agree. It is an insanely cool tournament. It is over on drafters and it is similar to the it is similar to the eliminator contest.
118:38Twenty five percent of the field gets chopped every single week, leading down to a one hundred and twenty five person final.
118:47Very, very cool contest. I've been drafting a ton of these on stream.
118:52My plan was to get to one today, but I'm a little bit behind in BBM.
118:59But if you want to use promo code Davis over on drafters.
119:04Supports me, supports channel. GM, GM, Jordan. Trey. I think Traylon Burks actually seems like an OK pick right now.
119:12Seems like he is maybe trending towards being a starting receiver for the commanders right now.
119:19I think I think that's fine. Yeah, it is.
119:22It is a very cool contest. And you can get a you can get a one hundred percent deposit bonus over on drafters using promo code Davis.
119:33So if you want to go get in the survival contest, you can.
119:38You can use my you can use my good name to get the door.
119:44Drafters does do slows. And I believe drafters. Is allowed in Rhode Island in my memory.
119:51Drafters does do slows. And I think you can play in Rhode Island.
119:56GM, GM, Don. It has been you have been gone for a while, man.
120:02We've been we've been missing you around here. Hope you've been enjoying your summer.
120:07No DK today, Philly. No DK. I actually I have to go outside after this and go film a clip for the flock league.
120:17And then I got to go to this will cast.
120:21Which two teams do I have the most ownership of?
120:25Sixty two percent of my drafts have a Kansas City Chief and fifty five percent of my drafts have a jacked and
120:34a jacked and a jacked and a jacked and a jacked and a jacked and a jacked.
120:41Have you been Don? Have you been have you been golfing golfing?
120:46That is that is that is a how rich right there.
120:51That is a how rich. Um, the a the Keaton Mitchell steam.
120:56It was always coming. Keaton Mitchell steam was always coming.
121:00And the Terrence Ferguson steam was always coming. And, you know, I I hope I get my I hope I get my
121:09my my props from Jacob Sanderson and Pat Corain.
121:12Uh, Josh Downs is a is a really, really good real life talent.
121:18He honestly he honestly is very, very good. All right.
121:22We are up. I'm going to take Stefan Diggs because I always take Stefan Diggs.
121:28One thirty one is such a steal. Dude, you got a show for the Hall of Fame game yet?
121:35I got to check with my quantitative Cody Maine on that one.
121:40And then I'm going to take Cam Ward. I kind of want to take chick at this pick, but I'm going to take Ward.
121:50So we've got Mayfield, Ward, Gentty, Walker, Price, Brooks, Gainwell, T Higgins, Garrett Wilson, Carnal Tate, Josh Downs and Stefan Diggs.
121:59Is the Swolecast your most profitable stream? Uh, no chance.
122:03No chance. My most profitable stream is none of them.
122:07You guys you guys would be surprised. How how little how little money is made for me sitting down at my computer streaming to 404 of you.
122:18So if you signed up for membership but haven't gotten Discord access yet, first off, all you have to do is link
122:27your YouTube to Discord and it will do it automatically for you.
122:32Sometimes if you do it on your sometimes if you do it on your phone, it doesn't exactly link.
122:39So do it on a computer. If you try it a couple times and it doesn't work, then you should send me a message.
122:49If you send me a message on Twitter or on Discord, I can generally I can generally get you in.
122:57Had to had to had to had to trouble troubleshoot a couple times.
123:03Do you use BBMDB to check the ratings on your teams?
123:07I would. I would if I could. But because I always have some clod slop attached to my underdog, it doesn't work.
123:16So I have at any given time, I have like the flock overlay attached.
123:22I have my EPL best ball helper attached. I had an MLB best ball helper or an MLB BR tool.
123:30Like I'm always like working on a project. And it it's it messed up.
123:36BBMDB basically does not work for me. I tried to I tried to troubleshoot it with PD and he was like, I don't know.
123:45I don't know how to help you, but I'm sure I'm sure it's it's cool.
123:52I'm sure it's nice to be able to check your teams in real time.
123:57What three teams are the best teams to draft for best ball?
124:02I don't know. Whoever has good matchups in week 17.
124:06Hmm. This NFFC is really three of 12. Tough scene.
124:10Well, for anyone watching this stream later, I hope to see you guys in the 350 at 4 p.m.
124:18Eastern time. If not, whatever. Are those accurate draft grades and what are they based on?
124:25So these draft grades are from the flock fantasy historical tool.
124:29It's based on your historical cohort of advancement, your team's score relative to average draft position, and then how unique the combinations are.
124:38Tyler, I almost sent you the stream yard. Tyler, can you hop on a stream right now?
124:45Tyler, if you can hop on a stream right now, I'll send you the stream yard.
124:52What do we do? What do we do right here?
124:56Dude, is this a Jalen Naylor team? Bryce Young and Brooks?
125:00Bryce Young and Brooks is kind of heat, actually.
125:04Let's do that. Bryce Young. Bryce. I bet I have, like, none of that.
125:10Bryce Young and Brooks. Why not? Shout out. Okay.
125:13Never mind. I will ping you. I will ping you soon.
125:18Because I want to talk to you. I want to talk to the potentially unjust loser of So You Think You Can Tout.
125:27Let's do... Well, I was going to take Brenton Strange, but I guess not.
125:33I guess we're going to take Juwan Jennings, and we're really going to have to patch it together at tight end.
125:42You can be in the next draft if you sign up for Underdog Fantasy using Code Davis, and then register for the draft in time.
125:52It's never a Jalen Naylor team. Hmm. Hmm. I guess sometimes you're just going to lose.
125:58I guess sometimes you're going to lose a tight end.
126:02Mayfield, Ward, Young. Gentie, Walker, Price, Brooks, Gainwell. Higgins, Garrett Wilson.
126:07Dude, I probably should have taken a tight end there and saved Geno to be the third.
126:14Bryce is probably a bad pick right there. Josh Allen connected on a bomb to DJ Moore for a 50-yard TD.
126:22Perfect ball into triple coverage, and Moore made a great catch.
126:27Yeah, it's probably done because I got to go film a clip after this.
126:33Is the Chiefs winning a Super Bowl in Mahomes MVP?
126:37MVP. I don't know. I don't know if the defense is good enough.
126:42I don't know if the receivers are good enough.
126:46You know. Brett Veach has just not made a ton of good decisions.
126:51Very, very few good decisions, actually, from one Mr.
126:55Brett Veach. Actually, terrible decisions. What is the biggest piece of camp news for you so far this season?
127:02I don't know. What has been the biggest piece of camp news for me personally?
127:08The issue is, is like everything in camp news has mostly been what I thought was going to happen.
127:16I guess Keaton Mitchell getting passing down work. I don't know.
127:21I guess if Dylan, if DJ Moore beats me, he beats me.
127:26Oh, we got a super chat here. Did you trade Alec Pierce and Dylan Sampson for Corum and Brooks?
127:33Yes. Yeah, I'm not an Alec Pierce guy. Yeah, Keaton's team has been nice.
127:39Neighbors being healthy. I was drafting a lot of neighbors at the old price.
127:45Although it's kind of annoying that the price immediately changed.
127:49There was, there was not enough, there was not enough time to adjust and draft cheap neighbors, which was a bit of a bummer.
127:59All right. We definitely need to take tight ends at this pick.
128:03Honestly, probably two tight ends at this pick. We are on the clock.
128:09I'm going to take Gunnar Helm. Wait, no, I'm not on the clock.
128:14I'm two picks away. I'm on the clock on a different tab.
128:19Yeah, Bryce. I don't know. I kind of, I kind of just lost my mind right there.
128:26That was not, that was not my finest effort taking Bryce.
128:30I don't, I guess, I guess I did like that stack.
128:35All right. Gunnar Helm. Anytime you can take Gunnar Helm as your tight end one, you got to do it.
128:43T-Ferg went at 169. So I didn't even have the opportunity to take him on this one.
128:50Feel like that's probably going to keep happening where I just, I just do not have the ability to take Terrence Ferguson.
128:59Which maybe is good for me at the end of the day.
129:04Right? Maybe at the end of the day, that's what I need.
129:09And then I am also going to select Cade Otten at this pick.
129:14Like, uh, all right. Dulcich goes Cade Otten. Bang.
129:18Uh, we'll see when the season actually starts, but you've been right on a lot of the big movers.
129:25Yeah, but I really shouldn't get too much credit for that because the reason why I am right about these things is because I pay attention.
129:36Like this is my job and I read, I read all the stuff and I know what the coaches are saying.
129:45I know, like, I, I feel like there's kind of this thing that happens in fantasy football where a lot of the
129:53people until training camp actually starts, they tend to think of these players.
129:59What is the right way to say this? Kind of like in a, in a vacuum and they're not placing them in
130:08the context of the actual team and the actual season that the team is going to have and what the offensive coordinator
130:17and what the coaches are trying to accomplish. And if you're, if you're not fully, fully in the spreadsheets like that, then,
130:26and you're more tuned into the reality, then you're, you're probably going to be ahead on someone like Keaton Mitchell.
130:34Like Keaton, Keaton is probably a lot of, a lot of math based drafters are probably not drafting Keaton Mitchell.
130:42Like what is here? What is, what does Mike Clay have Keaton for chargers Keaton Mitchell for yeah.
130:4964 PPR points. Like he's, he's basically undraftable. And so if you, if you're thinking of Keaton Mitchell is basically undraftable.
130:58Yeah. You are going to be taken by surprise when the first clip that the chargers post of training camp is a 40 yard bomb to Keaton Mitchell.
131:09Best, most fun book you've read in the last couple of years.
131:14I read a, I read a, I read a, I read a very fun book.
131:20I mean, it's not a, it's not a particularly great book.
131:25Um, so a quick read, you could probably read it in an afternoon.
131:30It's called the, it's called the 39 steps by, uh, the Scottish guy.
131:35It's kind of like the, the, the OG James Bond.
131:39I read that the other day. Very good. Um, yeah.
131:44If you, if you want a fun read, that's it.
131:48Highly, highly recommended. There was a wanted poster. That's true.
131:52Yeah. Or even, or even like T for like, again, like a spreadsheet, a spreadsheet guy is not going to be able
132:01to not going to be able to draft T for it.
132:05It's just, it just doesn't make any sense. And that's not to say, Hey, guess what?
132:12Like I'm, I'm wrong about shit all the time, dude.
132:16I'm, I'm, I like, I'm going to, you know how many things wrong I'm going to get this year?
132:23It's going to be, it's going to be insane.
132:27There you go. People are saying 39 steps is a good movie.
132:32I didn't even know it was a movie. Huh?
132:36Now do I take Kalar or do I take in, well, or do I take Evan Ingram?
132:43That would leave Gunner Helm as my only tight end that week.
132:47I think I, I think I am going to take Kalar.
132:52It's true. It's a, it is a, it is a good thing that, uh, that Ben Gratch put us all on Keaton.
133:01All right. I am going to take Charlie Kalar.
133:05Anytime you can take Charlie Kalar as your third tight end, you gotta do it.
133:11And then final wide receiver here. I mean, it's going to be, it's going to be Keenan, Keenan Allen wrapping us up.
133:20Baker Mayfield, Cam Ward, Bryce Young, Ashton Gentie, Ken Walker, Jadarian Price, Jonathan Brooks, Kenny Gainwell, T Higgins, Garrett Wilson, Carnell Tate,
133:29Josh Downs, Stefan Diggs, Juwan Jennings, Keenan Allen, Gunner Helm, Kate Otten, and Charlie Kalar.
133:35Uh, love to see it. The black marble will now be referred to as the black stone.
133:42Hey, that's a ball knower. That is a, that is a ball knower.
133:47All right, man. Uh, yes, I am also so ready for this draft with Sammy and Nate later, but we, we gotta fill it.
133:57So I'm begging you guys, please head on over to the NFFC, sign up for the beat Davis Matic at 4 p.m.
134:06Eastern time. Uh, I will be back with you guys there.
134:10Make sure that you like this video, make sure you subscribe to the channel and I'll be back with all you guys tomorrow.
134:20Peace.
