Player insights

55

Aaron Jones

NegativeValue27:21

Falling in ADP; taken despite concerns. Liam Murphy states: 'I think like Aaron Jones falling so far, it's not it's not warm and fuzzy, but I take him.' Notes he was more bullish on Jones earlier in the offseason but doesn't have a great reason for reduced interest now. Matthew Coller clarified his viral quote was misinterpreted; he still expects close to 50/50 split.

Insight page

Amon-Ra St. Brown

NegativeRole33:33

Amon-Ra St. Brown was selected early in Liam Murphy's draft build as part of a heavy wide receiver emphasis; Murphy went 'heavy at wide receiver early' and selected St. Brown alongside Jamar Chase, George Pickens, Carnell Tate, and Stefon Diggs. Amon-Ra St. Brown was drafted early in the wide receiver tier, indicating strong confidence in his fantasy production.

Insight page

Baker Mayfield

NegativeProjection11:41

Liam Murphy notes that pissed off and healthy Baker Mayfield has the Buccaneers grooving; points to 2024 performance and first six weeks of last season as evidence of high-level play. However, expresses concern that 2024 may be an outlier when zooming out on his entire career. Still sees a story to tell about 2026 Buccaneers with him at QB.

Insight page

Bo Nix

NegativeRole20:20

Liam Murphy expresses skepticism about Bo Nix's health status and potential for increased dump-offs, which could impact receiving volume and touchdown upside for pass-catching backs like R.J. Harvey in year two.

Insight page

Bucky Irving

PositiveValue11:17

Drafted in DraftKings lineup with Josh Allen, Jamar Chase, George Pickkins, and Mecca Ibuka as part of Buccaneers stack. Liam Murphy notes Bucky is fun for teammate pairing with Ibuka.

Insight page
NegativeRole33:33

Bucky Irving was selected in Liam Murphy's draft build to address the running back room; Murphy notes 'the RB room a little bit' and selected Irving alongside Marshon Lloyd in consecutive picks. Bucky Irving was selected early in the running back tier, indicating confidence in his fantasy production. Bucky Irving was selected in round five as part of the running back strategy to build depth after committing to a zero-RB approach with elite wide receivers.

Insight page

Carnell Tate

PositiveValue14:14

Fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft available at a significant discount in fantasy drafts. Liam Murphy frames this as potential arbitrage similar to Jamar Chase's rookie year when Chase fell to the sixth round. Tate is young (only 21 by end of year) and while there may be a slow ramp-up given early breakout age concerns, the opportunity to acquire a top-five draft pick at such a discount is compelling value. Murphy maintains conviction despite team quality concerns, using simple logic: 'Jeremiah Love went third in the draft. Carnell Tate went fourth. How bad can it be?'

Insight page

CeeDee Lamb

NegativeValue5:23

Liam Murphy still likes CeeDee Lamb despite preferring London Pickins in that draft round. Murphy argues the fantasy football market is 'a little disingenuous to Lamb,' suggesting Lamb is undervalued relative to market perception. Murphy's preference for Pickins is not a fade on Lamb's talent or role, but rather a relative ranking call.

Insight page

Charlie Kolar

PositiveRole22:10

Liam Murphy believes Charlie Kolar's fantasy relevance is limited by Gatston, not by Kolar himself. While Kolar's Iowa State numbers are noted as fun, Murphy expects Gatston to be the leading target getter in the Ravens offense, making Kolar a less attractive option than lower-priced tight end alternatives like Elijah Royo, Eric All, Eli Raridan, and Michael Mayer.

Insight page

Chase Brown

PositiveProjection24:00

Ranked RB4 with eighth overall ADP in redraft. Liam Murphy states: 'I have eighth overall RB4. I just I have the least amount of questions with them.' Murphy notes he has the least amount of questions with Brown; while acknowledging Brown wouldn't be a top-10 pick in a pure real-life talent draft, everything else about the profile is amazing.

Insight page

Chris Bell

PositiveBreakout37:17

Liam Murphy is bullish on Chris Bell as a breakout candidate; despite initial knee injury concerns suggesting he would not play until October, Bell recovered quickly and is expected to play in Week 1; Murphy believes the Raiders and Dolphins will have to pass more than expected due to being down big in games, which could benefit Bell; Murphy highlighted Bell as his fantasy football MVP pick, citing his 6'2", 220-pound athleticism and AJ Brown-like movement patterns visible in Louisville-Miami game film; Murphy believes Bell could be the Cardinals' wide receiver one despite being a deeper league pick, noting his talent level and separation ability compared to Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington.

Insight page

Chris Rodriguez

NegativeRole26:43

Primary back with ETN departure, but Liam Murphy expresses skepticism about the workload opportunity. Murphy argues: 'it's like ETN's gone so they're just going to go Chris Rodriguez the whole game. Like that doesn't even make any sense,' suggesting the market may be overvaluing the role change. Previously drafted ahead of JK Dobbins when market recognized Crod-over-Dobbins possibility, but foot injury concern proved moot and price never recovered to pre-injury levels.

Insight page

Christian McCaffrey

NegativeBust22:57

Liam Murphy has very low exposure to Christian McCaffrey in his draft portfolios, indicating a fade on the elite running back. This is part of Murphy's broader skepticism toward early-round running backs.

Insight page

Courtland Sutton

NegativeProjection18:48

Courtland Sutton mentioned as a player in the tier that could be outscored by a 15th-round draft pick in a hypothetical finals matchup; positioned as part of the mid-round wide receiver group.

Insight page

Curtis Samuel

NegativeInjury42:25

Curtis Samuel would have worked out as a fantasy option if not for turf toe, which derailed his season. Liam Murphy describes him as a cautionary tale similar to an injury-plagued player, illustrating the injury risk in the Bills receiver room.

Insight page

Cyrus Allen

PositiveValue17:37

Liam Murphy suggests Cyrus Allen as a late-round option to provide outs on zero-RB teams; Allen is not always being drafted and can be added to rosters to create alternative win conditions.

Insight page

D.J. Moore

NegativeValue14:04

Went early round two in draft. Liam Murphy had to issue a DJ Moore apology, noting he was one of those saying to fade Moore in early August but has since come around. Questions his own prior logic: 'why do I not like DJ Moore if I like Jayla Model and Mike Evans?' Acknowledges the logic now works, though can't say he's getting him in every draft.

Insight page

David Njoku

NegativeValue34:34

Liam Murphy expressed concern about David Njoku's free agency deal, noting it was unusual that he made it through free agency and signed for only $2 million, suggesting the market did not value him highly.

Insight page

Derrick Henry

NegativeBust22:57

Liam Murphy has very low exposure to Derrick Henry in his draft portfolios, indicating a fade on the early-round running back. This reflects his skepticism toward the elite running back tier.

Insight page

DeVonta Smith

PositiveValue6:30

Liam Murphy likes DeVonta Smith and is open to drafting him in this round, indicating Smith is a preferred option among the available choices at that draft stage.

Insight page

Eli Raridon

PositiveSleeper22:00

Liam Murphy drafts Eli Raridan as part of a tier of tight end alternatives to Charlie Kolar, grouping him with Elijah Royo, Eric All, and Michael Mayer. Murphy prefers these lower-priced options over paying up for Kolar.

Insight page

Erick All

PositiveSleeper22:00

Liam Murphy drafts Eric All as part of a tier of tight end alternatives to Charlie Kolar, grouping him with Elijah Royo, Eli Raridan, and Michael Mayer. Murphy prefers these lower-priced options over paying up for Kolar.

Insight page

Garrett Wilson

NegativeRole42:12

Noted as the primary receiver in the Jets offense, with Jalen Coker and other receivers operating in a secondary role within the system.

Insight page

George Pickens

NegativeInjury8:15

Liam Murphy is explicitly avoiding George Pickens this year due to injury concerns. Murphy has adopted a strategy of avoiding injured players in early rounds rather than taking on injury risk. However, Pickens was later drafted early in Murphy's wide receiver emphasis alongside Jamar Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Carnell Tate, and Stefon Diggs, indicating he was selected despite the earlier injury avoidance stance.

Insight page

Greg Dortch

NegativeRole42:40

The Bills drafted Greg Dorsch instead of pursuing other wide receiver options; he is currently on the Bills practice squad, indicating limited immediate fantasy relevance. Liam Murphy expresses frustration with the pick, noting Dorsch's practice-squad status.

Insight page

Isaac TeSlaa

NegativeRole42:34

Liam Murphy references Isaac Teslar as a Jets receiver the team was playing chicken with regarding usage, suggesting uncertainty about his role and production potential in an offense where Garrett Wilson is the primary receiver.

Insight page

Ja'Marr Chase

NegativeInjury1:02

Liam Murphy ranks Chase #2 overall but expresses concern about a recent knee hyperextension injury suffered last week; he's relieved the injury occurred in the past week rather than an upcoming week, suggesting lingering availability risk heading into the season. Murphy drafted Chase early in a heavy wide-receiver strategy alongside George Pickens, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Carnell Tate, and Stefon Diggs, indicating strong confidence in his fantasy production despite the injury concern. In full PPR format, Chase's value is enhanced.

Insight page

Jalen Coker

NegativeRole41:49

Liam Murphy didn't love Jalen Coker when he was discussed going 16th overall to the Jets; when Coker fell to the end of round one, Murphy was fine with it but noted concerns about his usage at Indiana, where he had a high percentage of RPOs and screens similar to Zachariah Branch, limiting his downfield work potential. In the Jets offense, Garrett Wilson is the primary receiver, leaving Coker in a secondary role.

Insight page

Jalen Hurts

NegativeProjection18:28

Jalen Hurts mentioned as part of the running back tier break discussion; there is a significant drop-off from Hurts to the next tier of running backs.

Insight page

James Cook

PositiveProjection3:02

Liam Murphy ranks James Cook as RB4 off the board, positioning him as a strong value play for the Bills with playoff upside. Murphy notes potential ambiguity around the Bills' offensive philosophy under new coordinator Joe Brady, but still prefers Cook slightly over Jonathan Taylor due to passing work rumblings.

Insight page

Jameson Williams

NegativeProjection18:28

Jameson Williams cited as representing a significant tier break at wide receiver in the draft; there is a notable drop-off from Williams to the next tier of receivers like Marvin Harrison Jr.

Insight page

Jayden Reed

NegativeProjection18:48

Jaden Reed mentioned as a player in the tier that could be outscored by a 15th-round draft pick in a hypothetical finals matchup; positioned as part of the mid-round receiver group.

Insight page

Jaylon Moore

NegativeRole14:24

Jaylen Moore mentioned as part of the available running back pool in this draft round alongside Jonathan Brooks, Tony Pollard, Marshon Lloyd, and others, but no specific stance or analysis is provided.

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

PositiveValue7:20

Liam Murphy ranks Jeremiah Love higher than Kairen Javvante despite Love's injury status. Murphy's ranking diverges from market perception, which may be discounting Love due to injury concerns, suggesting Love has value relative to his draft position.

Insight page

Jerry Jeudy

NegativeRole40:37

Mentioned as the Chiefs' wide receiver two in October, providing context on his role within the Kansas City offense.

Insight page

Jonah Coleman

PositiveDepth Chart20:19

Getting a bunch of buzz but viewed as a late-round draft pick by Liam Murphy, suggesting he is not a priority target despite market attention. This positioning reflects his depth chart status behind R.J. Harvey in the Broncos backfield.

Insight page

Jonathan Taylor

PositiveValue3:15

Liam Murphy likes Jonathan Taylor as a value play despite last year's poor offensive environment; he believes JT didn't decline as a player but was hampered by the Colts' offense. His playoff schedule (Titans, Bengals, Browns—with no Miles Garrett in Cleveland) offers explosive ceiling potential. Murphy would slightly prefer James Cook due to passing work rumblings, but still sees Taylor as a strong value with playoff upside when the money is actually won.

Insight page

Jonathon Brooks

NegativeProjection15:52

Liam Murphy expresses hesitation on Jonathan Brooks in this draft context, describing him as feeling 'a little less chill right now' compared to other running back options like Marshon Lloyd and RJ Harvey.

Insight page

Jordan James

NegativeInjury35:36

Jordan James broke his ribs, which muddied the Seahawks running back depth chart; prior to the injury, more people were saying James was the RB2, but both he and Kalin Black had looked good in preseason.

Insight page

Jordan Love

NegativeRole48:00

Jordan Love was selected as the quarterback after Jackson Dart fell in draft value, indicating the drafter preferred Love's upside over Dart.

Insight page

Josh Allen

PositiveProjection6:20

Liam Murphy views Josh Allen as a strong quarterback foundation for his draft build. Allen was selected as the quarterback for a Bills stack strategy and described as 'the best quarterback alive,' providing a foundation for stacking multiple Bills offensive weapons (Josh Allen, Donovan Concaid, Keon Coleman, Stefon Diggs). Murphy also considers Allen a solid quarterback option alongside Jackson Dart, indicating confidence in his fantasy outlook for the season. Allen was chosen over other running back options like Rashi Rice and Kairen Javvante in draft selections, and Murphy notes Allen's unique pairing value at the 2-3 turn on zero-RB teams helps construct winning team compositions.

Insight page

Keaton Mitchell

PositiveBreakout30:14

Liam Murphy is bullish on Katon Mitchell as a breakout candidate, citing Mike McDaniel's emphatic recruitment efforts; Murphy interprets McDaniel's willingness to go out of his way (to a FedEx or office to get a printer) as evidence McDaniel 'really really had to want this dude,' suggesting strong organizational conviction on Mitchell's role and upside.

Insight page

Kenneth Gainwell

PositiveRole20:19

Liam Murphy likes Gainwell quite a bit in the Ravens backfield, positioning him as a preferred option over Jay Dobbins due to health concerns. Gainwell is part of Murphy's preferred running back tier in the Ravens offense.

Insight page

Keon Coleman

PositiveBreakout43:02

Liam Murphy believes Keon Coleman had a strong rookie season that hasn't received proper credit. Coleman was coming on strong until breaking his wrist after a Titans or Seahawks game; he looked like a star in the Ravens game before the injury, averaging 19 yards per catch as a rookie. Despite character concerns, Murphy views him as a boom-or-bust wide receiver three with red zone upside, similar to Gabe Davis's role. Last year was a wakeup call, and with Joe Brady's more permissive culture (compared to Sean McDermott's strict approach), Coleman could emerge as the red zone target in a wide receiver three-by-committee setup. Murphy notes: "Keon in the red zone will be the guy."

Insight page

Luther Burden

NegativeBust23:00

Liam Murphy has almost no exposure to Luther Burden in his draft portfolios, indicating a strong fade on the wide receiver. Murphy explicitly states he has very low percentages of Burden.

Insight page

Malik Davis

PositiveValue40:28

Liam Murphy describes Malik Davis as a good pick, indicating he's gaining clarity on the running back and positioning him as a viable draft target.

Insight page

Michael Mayer

PositiveSleeper22:00

Liam Murphy drafts Michael Mayer as part of a tier of tight end alternatives to Charlie Kolar, grouping him with Elijah Royo, Eric All, and Eli Raridan. Murphy prefers these lower-priced options over paying up for Kolar.

Insight page

Omar Cooper Jr.

PositiveValue40:42

Liam Murphy still drafts Omar Cooper despite his late-round status, noting he has Cooper ranked highest among late-round receivers; the philosophy is that they don't need him to do much, just be something, though acknowledging the range has burned them before with players like Keon Coleman and Jaylen Pulk.

Insight page

Puka Nacua

NegativeInjury2:09

Liam Murphy projects Puka Nacua will miss at least one game due to injury; despite damage control efforts, the Rams are concerned about his focus and discipline as he approaches a quarter-billion-dollar contract extension, creating both availability and behavioral risk. Murphy frames this as a 'knucklehead tax,' comparing Nacua's situation to Josh Jacobs' cautionary tale, suggesting the player needs to stay focused given the massive financial opportunity ahead.

Insight page

Ray Davis

PositiveValue28:42

Liam Murphy identifies Ray Davis as undervalued relative to other handcuff options; Murphy expresses strong conviction that Davis is 'inexplicably just like free compared to some of these other handcuffs' and states he doesn't understand why the market is pricing him so cheaply, calling it a 'no-brainer' value.

Insight page

RJ Harvey

PositiveBreakout19:19

Year-two running back from UCF who scored 12 touchdowns as a rookie. Liam Murphy believes people are discounting Harvey's upside possibility, noting he may have needed a full year in an NFL program and could go nuclear. Murphy acknowledges the pick could look terrible in two months but emphasizes the legal possibility of players improving as they continue in the NFL; Harvey showed good stuff against the Jaguars and made big plays against the Bills in the playoffs. Murphy also likes Harvey as a Week 1 scoring option alongside Marshon Lloyd, though he remains slightly skeptical about Bo Nix's health and potential for increased dump-offs.

Insight page

Saquon Barkley

PositiveValue39:39

Murphy notes he drafts Saquon Barkley frequently at the end of round 16, describing it as a year-in-and-year-out strategy of simply drafting the tight end who went 16th overall in the NFL draft; positions this as a solid fantasy football pick despite some concerns being baked in by that point.

Insight page

Skyler Bell

PositiveBreakout17:37

Liam Murphy highlights Skyler Bell as a late-round option with an athletic profile that looks promising. Bell showed well in preseason games with movement ability that could translate to the NFL level, though Murphy acknowledges the preseason competition level was weak (college-level opponents). Despite preseason concerns about competition quality, his actual movement and athleticism suggest potential upside. Bell was drafted 0% of the time and can be added to zero-RB teams to provide alternative win conditions and outs beyond early-round running back selections.

Insight page

Stefon Diggs

PositiveValue20:58

Liam Murphy likes Stefon Diggs a lot and drafted him early as part of a heavy wide receiver emphasis alongside Jamar Chase, George Pickens, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Carnell Tate. Murphy also selected Diggs as part of a Bills stack strategy to complement Josh Allen and Keon Coleman, noting that when building the Bills offense, adding Diggs made sense.

Insight page

Terrance Ferguson

PositiveValue29:22

Liam Murphy identifies Terrence Ferguson as his most-drafted tight end due to price; Murphy emphasizes Ferguson's cheapness as the primary reason for his high draft frequency, making him a core value target in Murphy's tight end strategy.

0:03drafting for $3 million over in the DraftKings Streets with the great Liam Murphy at chess Liam. You'll find all his great work on YouTube, beatball.com.
0:14You've won you've won a few dollars in this business over the years. Liam, also just a cool guy. Love your Buffalo Bills
0:20and I appreciate you coming on the show, man.
0:21>> Thanks for having me, Ian. Was stoked when you reached out. Let's Let's just Hey, let's do the easy thing right now
0:27and let's just win $3 million on this lovely September 2nd evening.
0:32>> I've committed to Liam that if and when we win the 3 mil, I will be personally handdeling that check to wherever
0:39>> giant check. I want a giant check.
0:42>> Happy Gilmore style. Absolutely love it.
0:44So, we are picking out the 103 hole team. I heard it's here. Not free Duke Johnson. Silly mistake I made 15 years
0:50ago whenever I set up this account.
0:53You've been uh you've been team CMC here, Liam. A little bit different in reddraft first baseball. Obviously, we can get into that, but who's kind of
0:59been your pick here after the big two are obviously gone.
1:02>> I have Chase ranked two. So, >> uh for me, it's Jamar Chase. Don't love that he um got a little hobbled the
1:12other week, but am happy that it was at least last week and not a week coming up from now. And it it has nothing to do
1:19with disliking Bejon. just more so is I feel like the fantasy football populace got the the wrong lesson last
1:29year with all the running backs and Chase Puka JSN. Like these guys are the guys who I'm like you have them on your
1:38roster and you're in the playoffs, you're in the finals and you're like, "Well, I just got 30 points at wide receiver check." And you can ultimately
1:46fall into Marshon Lloyd, whoever at running back where, you know, if they're a starter, they're going to do a good
1:54job being 70% 80% of a bean, what have you there?
2:00>> It was funny in the Jamar Chase fallout when he's just like, "Oh, it's fine, guys. I just hyperextended my knee a
2:05little bit. All good. Nothing to see here. No worries. It's like, man, not ideal. Not ideal. The uh Pukanaku though keeps on keeping on. Apparently, I saw
2:13him try to do a little bit of the uh damage control, you know, getting his dancing on at the bat mitzvah. So,
2:18trying to get in the good graces of the NFL, but I don't know, Liam, we got more reports coming out like in your heart of
2:25hearts, you think Puka is going to miss a couple games?
2:28>> I think at least one, right? just like knucklehead tax like >> maybe just and you know who wants that to probably happen is probably the Rams
2:36like >> you know you can you can talk to Puka all you want but something where it's just like look look what happened to
2:43Josh Jacobs like this could be you dude wake up here wake up you're on the precipice of getting paid you know a
2:50quarter billion dollars like lock in stop running through glass doors stop hanging out with weirdos and uh Let's go win a Super Bowl is
3:00probably what they're telling him.
3:02>> James Cook trying to win your Bills a Super Bowl 104. Not 104, but RB4 off the board right here. If you're not loving
3:09the Bejian Robinson 102, which I again understand definitely when considering someone versus like Jamar Chase next to him, but have you been getting in on
3:16Jonathan Taylor? Cuz again, just one of those things where I know how amazing he is, but I think we saw what a bad
3:21offensive environment can do to a player last year. I don't think JT magically turned to a bad running back the second
3:26half of last season. It was just the offense.
3:29>> Yeah, I still like JT and you know, you put a gun to my head, maybe I'd take Cook over him. Um because there are the
3:37rumblings of more passing work going to him. And I think like just on the Bills in general, there's a lot of ambiguity
3:45as far as like people are just being like, "Oh, it's just going to be Joe Brady. Same thing." And and I don't
3:50think that's true. Like as someone who follows the team closely, it could be.
3:55Maybe it will just be copy and paste, but I think it's more logical to assume that a lot of the philosophy was Shawn
4:01McDermott and like Ken Dorsey got literally fired for passing the ball too much and so Joe Brady was going to be
4:08doing what he was told. And if it's, you know, if it's you and you get hired for one head coaching job probably ever,
4:18you're probably going to put your trust in Josh Allen. And so I could see Joe Brady doing that. Uh, the other reason I
4:23like Jonathan Taylor, I was just pulling this up, is his playoff schedule when the money is actually won, goes Titans, Bengals, Browns. And so,
4:34>> even if he is, you know, even if the Colts are disappointment, even if all that the single week ceiling, the explosion, the
4:42explosive power, and just, you know, Titans, he's going to eviscerate them.
4:46The Bengals, I know they're a little bit better, but still. And then Cleveland, no Miles Garrett. So that's a that's a
4:52playoff schedule I could see going nuclear.
4:55>> I know when you famously won a bunch of money one time and one big reason at least Rashad Penny against the Lions had
5:00the foresight to be targeting that matchup. We were on the board here at the end of round two. Neighbors London Pickins Nico Rashi kind of missed the
5:07running backs here. What are your thoughts Liam?
5:09>> I don't do Neighbors too much. We could talk about that in a second. I like I have Pickkins ranked the highest but I I
5:15like Nico a lot. I like I like McBride.
5:20Um, >> let's go some Pickkins.
5:23>> It's Pickkins. Yeah, I think L >> could be could be the Cowboys wide receiver one. Who knows?
5:28>> I still like Lamb, too. It's not like, you know, a lot of these spots I'm not like choose like, you know, I like
5:34Raandre and Trayvon. I'm not like, you know, um, is that allowed?
5:38>> Me liking pickins is not just being like out on Lamb, who I think like the fantasy football market's a little
5:45disingenuous to Lamb, too. But like the way I think about baseball is not like, oh, can this guy have x amount of yards,
5:52x touchdowns. I'm just being like, how many weeks can this guy nuke? And we know >> Pickkins can nuke like Pickkins nuked a
5:59bunch of weeks last year, likely to happen again. Awesome playoff schedule at Rams, Jacksonville, home against the Giants in a dome. Um, I also think Drake
6:07London is like a clean partner with Chase because you you're fading Bejon and so you're just trying to leverage off of Bejon. Hope that London gets the
6:16points.
6:17>> Get Jack Strand under center eventually.
6:19Get a real QB for a guy Drake London.
6:22>> My god, man. I mean, yeah, I posted this the other day, but it's like all of the first round picks, like all their win
6:28totals are like nine and a half, 10 and a half, 11 and a half, and then the Falcons.
6:33>> All right, we're back here on the clock.
6:34Rashi Rice, Josh Allen, Kairen Javvante.
6:36>> What are you doing with Rice? I'll do Rice sometimes. I'll pull I'll do Josh.
6:40I like Dvont Smith, too. I'm I'm open.
6:44>> Kairen a lot still.
6:47>> No Williams doing it for you.
6:50>> I would take I like Kron.
6:53>> Josh.
6:54>> Let's go with Josh. Res.
6:56>> Chase and Josh. That won tournament so many years ago.
7:01>> All right. Why not Javvante? I'm trying to I've been waiting for someone to give me an answer that's rational and
7:08reasonable and isn't just he cost a lot last year.
7:13I actually think Javant, like I have some Javvante in some high stakes drafts. Um, okay. With the idea that he could bury me, but for me with these
7:23higher draft picks, like I'm more trying to target the guys who can be like give me an explosive week. And I view
7:31Javvante more as the like 20 22. Now, any running back on a good team could fall in the end zone five times. And
7:38that's kind of like how Javvante gets you. like if he against the Giants who should have a better defense, but like
7:44he could just fall in there and have a bunch of touchdowns. Um, but I still have like Jeremiah Love ranked over him.
7:51>> Okay.
7:51>> Where and I know that's like that's not really how the market's viewing it necessarily with the Love injury, but I don't know.
8:00Javvante, he's a cleaner three four guy for me. Let's talk about the injured guys. I'm personally just kind of wanting the peptide and injured dudes
8:09beat me. I'm not doing it this year.
8:11Like I've I've been doing this for a long time. I've kind of nawwaved injuries in the past. Looking at you neighbors, looking at you Cam Scatabo,
8:18looking at you George KD. I'm not drafting these guys this year and I'm just going to let it's not like I'm not
8:24taking other reasonable picks and if they beat me and like everyone's on peptides, what you know, fine. Okay.
8:32There's always next year. How have you been treating these these injured guys?
8:36>> I just find better routes to go inside the first five rounds. I prefer a top 50 running back to have a leg that has been
8:42in one piece for the last 12 months, you know. And that's the same thing with Quinnon Judkins as well. It's also I
8:48know Scataboo was good last year. You can catch the football and everything.
8:51Still a pretty small sample. Still an offense where if we look up in December, it's like the Giants are 29th. I don't
8:57think any of us are going to be shocked.
8:58So neighbors I've been a little more willing to get out on because I think there is a reasonable discount there.
9:05But I don't know with Scatabo, man. Like even even if he was 100% healthy, I don't know that we could just say he was
9:11going to be this round two pick or anything like that. So particularly those running backs, man, I've been happy to take other guys.
9:17>> Yeah. And even Neighbors where it's like we didn't have that big a sample of him with Dart. Um, I mean, we saw Wandale go
9:26nuclear with Dart, so yeah, not like maybe maybe Neighbors could just be the best pick in fantasy. He would be going
9:32around >> the pukas of the world if he was healthy in my opinion.
9:36>> Yeah.
9:37>> Um, >> I'm with you. That's where he is as a real life talent.
9:39>> But is he healthy? You know, like uh I like Tat. I like Ibuka. I like James Williams. I like
9:51um >> You're not like Camp Scataboo. We've been over that.
9:54>> I No, I haven't ranked like 60. I have him ranked like 68.
9:58>> Yeah. Get out of here. Okay. I move >> like I think I's okay, too. I like Totin and Bucky. If you want running backs,
10:06>> why don't you one back on the next one?
10:11>> Jam.
10:11>> I'm still drafting Ibuka even with the turf.
10:14>> Let's go.
10:17Full PPR over here in the DK streets as well. Obviously helps. Jamar Chase, George Pickkins, Mecca Ibuka. Yeah, I think that'll play.
10:25>> Pretty sick team. I think I obviously could have a slow start. Don't love the concept of turf toe. Um but
10:34could could see you have to have a buck to win. Get they get the Saints and Falcons before >> uh in week 15 and 16. So they could just
10:43be mega advance rate pieces. And then it's like, who else is there? You know, like I draft Godwin, but I'm like, if
10:50he's done, I wouldn't be that surprised.
10:54Uh, yeah, if you want to go back.
10:56>> Yeah, >> clearly Bucky or Tutin. I think Buckyy's fun for like a teammate pairing on Ibuka for this one.
11:02>> See, why not? I'm a little bit less worried about Shawn Tucker than I was maybe a month ago. Cool. Bucky.
11:07>> Yeah, I I think it could like Tucker.
11:09Maybe not because he's getting paid so much, but like Tucker, Tracy, I think some of these guys could be moved at the
11:15trade deadline still.
11:17>> Let's call it Bucky. Couple Buccaneers on the squad. Pun intended there. Josh Allen, Bucky Irvin, Jamar Chase, George Pickkins, and a Mecha Ibuka. I go back
11:26and forth a little bit on the Buccaneers. They do have, again, I think it was Ryan Heath who dubbed it the uh
11:32Mick Shanahan uh offensive coordinators and just trying to find those sort of guys. I think Zack Robinson is a little bit of a stretch to put in there. He's
11:40not the Mike McDaniel, you know, level of the Mc Shanahan play caller, but I don't know, didn't exactly have the best
11:47quarterbacks to work with during his time in Atlanta. I could see the Buccaneers blowing up a little bit or maybe pissed off and healthy Baker
11:54Mayfield has them grooving. We've seen 2024. We saw the first six week of last season been playing at a real high
11:59level. I do worry that 2024 looks like the outlier when you kind of zoom out and look at his entire career, but you
12:05can at least tell yourself a story about the 2026 Buccaneers.
12:08>> Yeah. And in 2025, like, correct me if I'm wrong if I'm wrong here, but like wasn't he getting like MVP chance until
12:14he got hurt >> and then the got hurt.
12:17>> Forget which one, but >> and their their secondary is still terrible and their division is terrible and they like their O line is like top
12:25five in football. So, I quite like >> taking pieces of the Bucks and again, >> Saints and Falcons, we 15 to 16 to help
12:34you hopefully get to the finals. Sounds very appealing to me. Running back wide receiver correlation also always good to do. Wow, we got the five RB bro
12:44>> out of the 10 hole.
12:46>> What a Etchen Swift and Jugkins.
12:51>> Give it a rest, man.
12:52>> Are you doing that at all?
12:55>> Not five. I mean, three I could maybe get behind. Usually just two though, man.
13:00>> I'll do four sometimes even. I'll do four and stop. But yeah, the Si the Sim Bros. I don't know how plugged into that
13:07talk you are. The Sim Bros are doing all RB heavy stuff or at least they were for a while.
13:12>> Uh I am not. I'm I still like wide receivers who score fantasy points.
13:17>> I saw a new one last night in FFPC draft. Dude went three straight DSTs out there. Chestnut checkers.
13:23>> Oh no.
13:25Let me guess, he went like Rams, uh Jaguars.
13:31>> No, it wasn't even that. He went he went Chargers and Jaguars, which I thought defeated the point because those are
13:35both defenses you would just take to get by for the first week. And then he took, I think, the NerS for the first chance
13:42thing >> for the first look.
13:44>> For the first look, it's just like, dude, >> he's optimizing. He's optimizing for week one, dude.
13:49>> It was like rounds 12 through 15, too.
13:52It wasn't even like the last three of the drafts. So, who knows? That guy will probably end up winning the league.
13:56That's how fantasy football works a bit here. So, >> yeah, he's got counting the million >> on the squad. DJ Moore ended up going
14:04early round two. I've already had to do my uh DJ Moore apology to Liam. I was one of those idiots in early August
14:10saying that we should probably fade him.
14:11And then I was like, why do I not like DJ Moore if I like Jayla Model and Mike Evans? So, we have come around. Can't
14:17say I'm getting them in every draft, but we have hopefully writed the wrong enough the public at this point. Anyway, we're about to be back on the clock
14:24again. Jaylen Moore, Jonathan Brooks, Tony Per, Marshon Lloyd sticking out of RB, Carell Tate, Quinn Johnson, Corin Sutton, Yiani Lansir.
14:32>> I still take Tate, fourth overall pick in the draft, you know, your Ohio Buckeyes.
14:38>> I kind of keep it simple with this stuff. Like, I'm not a guy who watches college football. I'm not also really
14:44like pulling up target per run and other more fantasy nerd stats. Um, I'm just like, "Hey, Jeremiah Love went third in
14:53the draft. Carninal Tate went fourth.
14:54How bad can it be? How bad how bad can it be?" And I'll let the guys smarter than me find reasons not to take them.
15:02What is What have your purview been on Tate? I mean, obviously the team sucks, but >> fourth wide receiver, he's young. Like,
15:09he's still going to be only 21 by the end of this year. And as much as we do like the early breakout age and
15:14everything like that, I do wonder if it's just going to be a little bit of a slow ramp up. But at the end of the day,
15:20man, like how often do we get chances to take top five draft picks at such a discount? That's kind of where I'm at.
15:26>> That's that's where I'm at. It's like there is a chance we look back at this as arbitrage Jamar Chase his rookie year where he was
15:35going in the sixth round. I thought we would never see that again. And obviously Tate's probably not gonna be Chase. The team is not gonna be that
15:42good, but still.
15:44>> Okay, we got Lloyd or >> I think Lloyd is the best pick if we're trying to score points week one. I also
15:52like RJ Harvey. Jonathan Brooks feels a little less chill right now.
15:57>> I'm with you.
15:58>> Where you at on these guys?
16:01>> Do you think we're playing too much catch-up with Lloyd drafting him when people have also had a chance to draft
16:05him much cheaper?
16:07Um, no.
16:09>> Or do you not care? You don't care it.
16:12>> Which player, ignoring all that, which player would you want, Lloyd or?
16:15>> I have Lloyd Retire.
16:17>> Okay, then let's do Lloyd. Let's do Lloyd and talk about it. Here's what Here's what I'll say on it.
16:23I was someone drafting a lot Lloyd early, so I personally don't want to go him take him there too often, right,
16:30when I don't need to. But I think particularly on these teams, these Zer RB teams, um, we're already kind of unique, right? Like sure, some of the
16:38zero RB teams have Lloyd, but many don't, right? And they have Tony Pard or someone who probably sucks. Um, and if
16:48Lloyd helps us get out, well then, okay, we're trying to win because Josh Allen unique pairing at the two-3 turn as
16:56well. Chase Pickins, you know, we're trying our wide outs. And so >> I think it depends on your personal exposure to it. If you have a bunch of
17:04Lloyd, yeah, it's fine to chill on it.
17:06If you don't, I wouldn't I wouldn't stress too much about the cheaper Lloyd if you think he's the best pick. Of
17:13course, with these things, we're always playing a little chicken with the room, right? We're trying to get them at the cheapest price. So, he's a slam dunk in
17:21the 90s. Just like, does he get there, you know?
17:25doesn't seem like he probably would have been making over there. But no, that's an interesting point just where again I I'm with you. I draft a ton of them in
17:32round, you know, over on other sites, you know, at the very end of it as well.
17:37But it is one of those things with maybe I'm putting too much stock into not playing catch-up there and just drafting the best team overall. So, you
17:46would lean just draft a guy who makes the most sense in a vacuum.
17:50>> I think there's ways to do it tastefully. You can tack on an Emma Johnson. You can tack on a Kaylin Black.
17:55You can tack on a Cyrus Allen, a guy who was guys who are not always being drafted. You could tack on Skyler Bell,
18:03a guy drafted 0%. And so you can give yourself outs to still win. And ultimately, it's not even like, let's pretend you make the finals and there's
18:11other Lloyd teams there. It's not even that crazy to be like, "What if your 15th round draft pick straight up outscores the seventh round draft pick?"
18:21Which, yeah, this is like the worst round in baseball. Like, people don't like this round unless they're going quarterback because it feels like a
18:29significant tear break at wide receiver to go from like Jameson Williams down to Marvin Harrison Jr. and a big tear break
18:36at running back to go from like Jarian Price down to like Raandre. So whatever you just have to beat like RJ
18:42Harvey or Courtland Sutton or Jaden Reed and it's like yeah sure my 15th round pick where someone else would have Lloyd like maybe that's a tight end
18:54maybe it's Gino Smith like maybe it's a quarterback right so yeah I think there's outs to still win I I do you
19:01know I do believe in the game theory angle of not doing it too often but again I think there's like ways to do it
19:07as someone with like 30% % Lloyd. I'm still drafting him sometimes.
19:11>> Yeah, just one of those token guys where it's like he'll just get injured, but you also have to ask yourself, what if
19:17he doesn't? So, heard you throw in R.J.
19:19Harvey there. Is that just like, hey, the dude scored 10 touchdowns as a rookie. We like the offense. We like the
19:24offensive line. Let's not overthink things.
19:27>> Yeah, I've been of the mindset, secondyear player, scored 12 touchdowns.
19:34I still am a little skeptical at Bo being complete healthier and like I think he could want to dump the ball off some
19:40more. Um, elite offensive line, good team. I know Jonah Coleman's getting a bunch of buzz, but he's like a late round draft pick.
19:49Dobbins not a clean bill of health. I like Gainwell and Krosky Merritt quite a bit. Those guys >> Yeah, cool off the board. We're pretty
19:58>> I also like Diggs a lot.
20:02Let's go with listen Bill right now.
20:05>> Yeah, I think we could go diggs and get cross next honestly.
20:08>> Okay, let's do that then.
20:10>> Teammate pair, another RB wide receiver teammate pairing.
20:13>> Um >> the RJ Harvey, it's like I fully recognize we could look back in two months from now and be like, well, that
20:22was a terrible pick, you know? But like I also think people are discounting the upside possibility of R.J. Harvey where yeah
20:29>> he's a year two player from like UCF or something like maybe this guy needed a full year in an NFL program you know and
20:35maybe he is the guy who goes nuclear >> players are allowed legally speaking to get better as they continue to play in
20:42the NFL as much as he was a little bit early on last year kind of a Bengals Cowboys merchant I'm always like that
20:48meme and Dexter you know eyeing those guys a little little bit more if I'm only seeing those sort of defenses in
20:54their highlights some good stuff against the Jaguars made some big plays against the Bills the playoffs. Yeah. Lost Bill.
21:00Uh we do have Don Concincaid.
21:02>> Yeah, let's rip it. Let's do >> Concaid.
21:05>> He's getting a lot more expensive. He used to be able to get him in the 120s, the 130s, but >> I mean, I love the bat and and also it's
21:14like, okay, we're taking him instead of like Wandel Robinson. Who cares, you know?
21:17>> Right. I had dark thought last night. I was in like round 18 of FFPC and I'm going through the tight ends. I was
21:24drafting with Dagel. He had to go. So, it was just me alone in the room with my thoughts. You know how that goes when
21:29you're drafting a team. And I was like, "All right, we have Concaid and the case there is like if his route rate is 70 or
21:3580% instead of 50, he's skyrocketing up the ranks." Same thing with Gadson. We don't, you know, we've seen Caller and Nooku out there, so we have a little
21:44more evidence, but hey, if we see that spike, he's gonna go up there. Is the grossest version of this archetype Darren Waller?
21:53There's a lot of gross uh comps, too. Like Elijah Royo could be adult and concaid. Like I draft a lot of
22:03these like Aoyos, Eric All, Eli Raridan, Michael Mayer.
22:10I'm drafting these guys instead of Charlie Kolar. Where are you at on the Charlie Colar Wars? I don't know if this
22:15has hit your time.
22:16>> I think he's I think he's going to limit Gatston. I think that's his relevance. I don't think it's actually Kohler
22:22himself. You know, the Iowa State numbers are fun. It's a good good bit, I guess, but I don't Gatston is still the
22:29the guy I would expect the leading targets. Now, the problem is I think >> or like I think New Jooku could
22:35>> New Jooku could be Jonnu Smith of the Chargers. Probably not, you know, but >> do you like everyone, Liam? Do you not
22:45have anything bad to say about any player?
22:47>> I actually fade a bunch of players. I have very low percentages of Christian McCaffrey, Bejian Robinson, Saquon Barkley,
22:58>> Derk Henry, Ken Walker, Amarian Hampton, >> every early running back.
23:05>> No, the two I draft the most are Chase Brown and Ham.
23:08>> Okay, I'm with you on Chase.
23:10>> But yeah, Luther Burden I have almost none of. So, I am certainly not a coward, Robert, who is afraid to dislike
23:18players.
23:19>> I've been called Ian hater tits for uh repeatedly pointing out some of the bad in the players. But no, man, I'm with
23:26you. I don't like the Well, I draft so many teams. I don't have exposure to everyone. I'm just not going to say a
23:31bad thing cuz I'm afraid of it being thrown back in my face. That's what we're here for to say fancy takes.
23:36Hopefully win some money, but if not, you guys get to yell at us. We sign up for that. George KD. Is it possible the
23:4233-y old tight end coming off a torn Killers is a bad pick?
23:46>> Yeah, I don't have a lot of KD either.
23:47Like I always thought KD over Concaid like they they're not even too dissimilar of a bet. Where are you at on
23:53these second round running backs? Who is your flavor of who gets you going? Who are you like, "Yes, I got this guy."
24:00>> Chase Brown. I have eighth overall RB4.
24:03So, >> okay, you're on my side.
24:05>> You got an eighth overall >> in in best baseball or reddraft?
24:09>> Reraft. I just I have the least amount of questions with them. Do I would we pick him in the top 10 if we were doing
24:15a backyard football draft and for like pure real life talent? No. Everything else is amazing. Again, it just comes >> I love it too. I I've had him ranked
24:2313th the whole draft or I I had it before the Genty stuff. I had a Genty Achan Chase Brown >> at 12 13 14 for best ball which is
24:33mostly what I'm doing. A Chan, I just worry about Malik scrambling so much, not getting him the same targets, but hell of a player. Could hard already be
24:42priced in. I hear you.
24:44>> Yeah, I just feel he's like, strangely I feel like he's safe, you know, like which is weird to say about a guy on a
24:52team that's so bad and right quarterback, but it's like >> I'm not worried about Olly Gordon getting the ball or Jaylen Wright.
25:01>> Yeah. Jarz Hunter, Miami Dolphin. Allar for all No, I know. For all two days.
25:07>> Yeah. T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
25:08T T T and W.
25:09>> What did they do to get cut? Like they traded. They must have had some sort of >> That had to have been some like cap
25:17massaging >> on both their parts.
25:20>> All right, we're on the clock here.
25:22>> We need some running backs, right?
25:24>> Jackson Dart's available a little bit.
25:26>> That's a crazy value on Dart. I I I say we draft Dart and live it up.
25:29>> Let's get Dart. Sounds good. Good.
25:33I have him ranked like 90th.
25:35>> Hey, we got the top two quarterbacks in rushing uh fantasy points per game last year.
25:40>> Yeah, I think I think drafting Dart is a fantastic bet to make. We He als we also have Pickins, so some week 17
25:47correlation there.
25:49>> Gota love that. But yeah, I think we got to get back into running back streets now. I am definitely I'm out on Jacobs.
25:54We are >> Yeah, I I have I deleted him from from my stuff.
25:58>> Nice. Yeah, I just I I cross him out when the draft starts. I just don't think he's going to play football this
26:03year. We'll see if we're wrong. We didn't get Bill. So, Rashad White, are you cool just taking one of them?
26:09>> Yeah, he's gone. So, I think we go Rodriguez.
26:12>> Okay.
26:14>> Where you at on to Rodriguez stuff?
26:18>> Could certainly be way closer than any of us are anticipating. I just I thought the foot injury was going to be a bigger
26:24issue with Rodriguez, but that has clearly been a moot point.
26:28>> Like, he's been back. He's been doing his thing. I actually didn't think it was going to be a big thing, the foot
26:32thing. I thought it was always like likely he returned. However, he never really went back to his old price. Like his old price before that was like
26:43people were drafting him around like ahead of JK Dobbins because they were like, "Oh, you know, like they recognized it could be Crod over
26:50Toutin." Um, who who I think Toutin still is like a massive upside swing that Yeah.
26:55>> has downside possibilities. It's It's honestly kind of hard to see it fail. in my opinion because it's like ETN's gone
27:03so they're just going to go Chris Rodriguez the whole game. Like that doesn't even make any sense.
27:08>> What's the difference between Chris Rodriguez and Jordan Mason who went three rounds earlier? Not even saying Jordan Mason couldn't work out, but I
27:14think that's like the same archetype.
27:15It's like >> Yeah, I'm not really doing the expensive Jordan Mason either. And I think like Aaron Jones falling so far, it's not
27:21it's not warm and fuzzy, but I take him.
27:25>> Yeah, I was more a little more in on Jones earlier in the offseason. I don't have a great reason for not drafting a
27:30little bit more often. I actually had uh Matthew Coller on the show and got to ask him about his quote that went wild
27:36and then he quickly informed me. He was like, "Well, the funny thing about my quote was that uh the one dude actually
27:41misinterpreted it. He actually still thinks it's going to be pretty close to 50/50." So, he wants to get more fantasy football.
27:48>> That is so fantasy football that like some guy says something off the cuff and people are like Aaron Jo. And I was
27:54like, you know, I was kind of stubborn for a while with my ranks. I'm like, I'm not putting Jordan Mason up here. And
28:00then I was like, all right, fine. Like, I guess I guess everyone's right. Like, and I I gotta raise Mason because I had
28:07them originally ranked next to each other and pretty low. Like, I don't really want Vikings running back compared to Commander running back
28:14personally.
28:15>> Um, but >> I think Kyler could help that though.
28:19And like he's not going to do the Herz and Josh Allen [ __ ] where he's, you know, stealing touchdowns at the goal
28:24line.
28:25>> Yeah. What what about who who are some other of your your guys this season?
28:30Chase Brown is >> you're doing one fantasy draft tomorrow.
28:34Who are the guys who you're like >> I'm drinking the uh Parker Washington Kool-Aid. What can go wrong?
28:38>> Okay, let's go. I've been on I've been on him all off season.
28:42>> He's basically like the new version of Miles Austin. Some of these Rush He did it too, man. Like when we see these
28:47dudes just balling out as a returner and the second they get a legit chance to be in the offense, they make the most out
28:52of it. No reason not to be believing that. Uh, your boy Ray Davis is inexplicably just like free compared to some of these other handcuffs and I
29:03don't get it for the life of me.
29:04>> No. Yeah, that's a he's a no-brainer.
29:07Where you at on the Bears, guys? Burden, Loveland Rome >> Loveland, Burden. I'm drinking. I'm I'm I'm the idiot drafting Burden out there.
29:15I just >> I don't think it's I don't think it's an idiot thing. Like >> I draft way more Lovelin. Like I I have
29:22Lovelin ranked at like the three four turn.
29:24>> Yeah.
29:25>> And I could see Bernie.
29:26>> I have uh >> Go. Sorry. Go ahead.
29:30>> I have I think my most drafted tight ends are like Terrence Fergus number one because you know he's just so cheap. But
29:35then it's like Bowers and Lovelin. So I really have been doing that first or last sort of approach with it. If I
29:39don't get Bowowers at the end of round two, it's like Lovelin round four and then we're just waiting otherwise.
29:44>> I draft uh a lot of McBride still too.
29:47>> Okay.
29:47>> Kind of the the It's kind of a weird situation. the um the Cardinals. I draft a lot of Cardinals. That's, you know,
29:55not not what I thought.
29:58>> I think Aaron is like a steal here if if we get >> Yeah, he's good for this build, too. I
30:03feel like just getting getting a veteran in the locker room for our young Bucks.
30:06>> Getting a couple 10 to 15 point weeks, you know? Josh Jacob, >> are you keeping Mitchell curious?
30:14>> Yeah, I like I like Mitchell. Um, >> Jones.
30:18>> Not I'm not really sure what to say about his like maybe injured, maybe not.
30:23>> Yeah, >> you're one of the I think you're the guy I saw sound the alarm about the wanted poster for Katon Mitchell.
30:31>> Dude, I mean, what more do you want him to say? Because they were saying Clint Kubak standing on a table for Mike
30:37Washington. It's like Mike McDaniel literally went to a FedEx or office.
30:42Like, I don't know. I I don't know about you, man. Whenever I need to use a printer, the one I have at home never
30:46works, right? So, I have to go somewhere else. Like, that was not a heat of the moment decision. McDaniel really really
30:52had to want this dude. Yeah. I draft Katon. I have a a little bit of Hampton.
30:59Not much, but as someone who's always drafted Justin Herbert and likes Mike McDaniel, I'm just a little light on the
31:08Chargers. I don't have that much lad. I don't have a ton of QJ. I I I don't know. I think I just prefer other bets
31:16there. Even though I get the concept of the Chargers, I don't really love Chargers. Um Katon.
31:22>> Yeah, I think we will Katon here. I don't really love Chargers Chiefs. It just kind of is like eh. Uh

33:29>> Appreciate our friends over there at DraftKings. Appreciate the team. We're building, man. We have a 2551 build so far. So, we're going to need to get some
33:37more tight ends. Pretty much good at quarterback with Josh Allen and Jackson Dart on the squad. Went heavy at wide receiver early. Jamar Chase, George
33:44Pickins, Amecha Ibuka, Carnell Tate, and Stefon Diggs. Obviously, the PC the RB room a little bit. Bucky Irving, Marshon Lloyd. We've gone three straight with
33:52Chris Rodriguez, Aaron Jones, and Katon Mitchell. So, seven more rounds to go.
33:56Mr. Liam, again, going to need at least two more tight ends. Probably handful more running backs as well. Are we good
34:02at QB in your opinion?
34:04>> Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Would never add another one there unless like something crazy happened for an ADP faller. Um, so where you at on the Chargers, guys? Are
34:12you are you team forgive lad? He's a gunho target for you.
34:18>> All them except the tight ends, honestly. But >> you don't draft the pundit ends.
34:22>> Nah, I just don't. I think it's going to be a muddled mess. I get thrown a dart at Gats think based on what we saw and
34:27just try not to overthink too >> likely. Not not that Njoku's block first. He's just >> It was weird to me seeing Ajoku make it
34:35all the way through free agency and then just sign for like $2 million.
34:38>> That was not great. Yes, he got better in rest though with the starters, you know. So, >> he did. He did.
34:44>> What What about um the Giants non neighbors guys? Daryus Sllayton >> the first year I'm not pounding Daryus >> Johnson. Where you at on these guys?
34:56>> No I I think Isaiah likely I think Kevin Concade are like the best uh later round tight ends out there just getting paid
35:03and everything there. I will say some of the preseason stuff Matt Naggie using some motion like I did not think I'd be
35:08reviewing preseason with nice things to say about the Giants but actually was able to follow some data and get there.
35:14We're about to be back on the clock though. Uh Kaylin Black and Allen, EMTT Johnson, Ray Davis, Booty, Cyrus, Floroy, what are we
35:23thinking?
35:23>> What's tight end look like?
35:28>> Black or EMTT Johnson?
35:31>> Let's go with Kaylin Black. We know McCaffrey we're just building more kind of and like I like your point about
35:36London earlier or uh whoever whoever we're getting. Just >> drafting like you're perfect and if we're not Yeah, exactly. for not getting
35:44one of the top running backs just kind of going against that. Not having Bejon go London. Exactly. Sounds like Kalin's a two.
35:51>> He was listed as the RB2 on the depth chart. I still think that situation is muddied before Jordan James broke his
36:00ribs. Uh it did seem to me like more people were saying that James was the two. I think both have looked good
36:08according to people and so um but yeah so I I think still like obviously black is the one to draft but
36:16I think James is still draftable. I would be uh Malachi Fields or Doulich for week 17 correlation.
36:24>> I think we go ahead and get our second tight end here in Greg Dolich.
36:28>> I don't draft a ton of him but he's a perfectly reasonable guy.
36:33I don't know if he's gonna play a [ __ ] ton, but it might be okay. I will say he got a bigger role last year and Bobby
36:41Sloic was like the senior offensive adviser on that staff. So, I'm somewhat confident in the situation being all right for him. They added my guy Will
36:49Casmic from Ohio State who is more block first. He can go down the field and catch the ball.
36:54>> Jackson Haw Jackson Haw of the Dolphins >> can't for Yeah, exactly. There we go.
36:59So, you know, I've gotten Dolich. He's going a little I think earlier now than maybe he was earlier in the offseason,
37:05but it's all good.
37:07>> He's fine. Yeah, he's a he's a totally fine guy. Where uh where you at >> Bell? What about >> I was going to ask where you at on Chris
37:13Bell, Douglas, Malik Washington?
37:16>> I am I love Chris Bell watching him at Louisville and there was just >> all the knee reports, man. It sounded
37:23like it was just going to be a situation where I was expecting a pup to start the season. I did not think we'd be seeing
37:28him until October and then he just basically got off it, got out there, played in the preseason, he's good to go.
37:34>> He's playing week one.
37:35>> I know it's crazy. So I more and more, man. I think about this with the Raiders and the Dolphins. I think they're going
37:41to have to pass way more than people are giving them credit for. It's easy in July and August to say we want to run
37:46the football, but when you're down 28 at halftime every other week, you're going to have to throw. So this is how far in
37:52I've gone with Chris Bell. probably a horrible idea, but the uh the fantasy footballers asked me to go ahead and give them a 90 second recording for
37:59their like fantasy football MVP episode and I highlighted Chris freaking Bell as their >> That is so funny because it's going to
38:06be like I like CMC, I like Bejon, I like Gibbs, Ian Hard. Yeah, my guy is Chris Bell.
38:16>> I literally said I was like I'm sure these other analysts were hyping up Chase Brown and Parker Washington, not me. And on Q, Chris Bell goes off the
38:24board. So, look, it's definitely a deeper league thing if you guys >> No, I mean, Chris Bell being wide receiver one there seems honestly
38:30feasible. Like, he seems like the guy who has the most talent. I do Caleb Douglas, but doesn't seem like separation's going to be his game
38:38either. Um, and like Malik Washington is honestly the one I feel the worst about where >> Yeah, >> he's he hasn't really done anything.
38:48He's kind of a guy. Bell and Douglas like they could be anything. They could even be Mal Malik Washington, you know.
38:54It's like it's like >> Bell though, man. Like just 6'2. He watch that. Watch the highlights against Miami and tell me you don't see some AJ
39:03Brown in this dude. And I know that's lofty, but man, dudes are racing angles at 220 pounds. You don't see that.
39:11>> I I froze for a second when you said Chris Bell. I'm sorry. What' you say?
39:15I'm saying watch that Louisville Miami game and tell me you don't see some AJ Brown >> comps with Chris Bell.
39:21>> I mean, honestly, he looked like Yeah, he looked like I I only caught little highlights and I was like, "Well, this
39:27is a guy I want." And I and early on, I thought he was a terrible pick because I was like, "Oh, he's injured.
39:32>> Like, why why would we be doing this?"
39:34But then the second I got word of it, I was like, "Let's go."
39:37>> Maybe we draft uh the 16th overall pick.
39:40>> Yeah, I draft Sadique a lot. Like I think this is another one where it's just like year, you know, year in and
39:46year out closing your eyes and simply drafting the tight end who went 16th overall in the draft in the what round
39:53are we in even right now?
39:55>> 16 or 17? Yeah, end of 16.
39:57>> In the at the end of the 16th, probably a good fantasy football pick.
40:01>> Like I I understand the causes for concern, but okay. I think they're plenty baked in by this point, guys.
40:07Come on. All right, we got our third tight end.
40:11good there. Pretty much we got our two quarterbacks. So again, we can go back to running back and wide receiver streets for the most part here. Tracy
40:18Malik Davis getting a little clarity there. I am not interested in Naji coming off an Achilles. No one even mentions the Achilles. Already got
40:25Lloyds, not so much. Chris Brooks.
40:28>> I think Malik Davis is a good pick. He goes um >> Jerry Judy, Chiefs, wide receiver two in October.
40:37>> What's uh what's the You want to do running back or white out here?
40:42I I still draft Omar Cooper, too. I don't I don't know where you're at on that, >> honestly. Yeah. Same same thought
40:48process.
40:49>> Yeah. Not as clean because he's so late.
40:52But >> I have Cooper ranked the highest.
40:56>> He's a guy where it's just kind of like I don't know. We don't need him to do that much. We just need him to be
41:02something. And maybe he won't be something. You know, it's like we have been burned by this range in the draft like Keon Coleman, Jaylen Pulk,
41:09>> but >> I didn't love him. I didn't love him when they were talking about him going that 16 to the Jets. When he fell back
41:18at the end of round one, it was like, "All right, that's fine." because his usage the last year at Indiana it was
41:23very like I remember looking at highest percentage of like RPOS's and screens and it was Zachariah Branch but like Cooper wasn't that far behind him but
41:32earlier in his career he did work more downfield so you know it's it's the Garrett Wilson show to an extent but
41:39even as someone who has defended AD Mitchell like they drafted the dude in round one for a reason >> you know I like Mitchell more but I
41:48still think Cooper is like I mean the Next name that goes off is Cooper Cup who like didn't eclipse like 13 fantasy
41:54points, you know. Isaac Tesla, who they were like playing chicken with Cutton.
42:00>> Yeah, they took my boy Greg Dorsch instead. What the hell is that?
42:03>> He's on the Bills practice squad.
42:06>> Let's go. You guys finally got a wide receiver one. Be excited.
42:09>> Probably it's intel for the they play each other week two. thing. Um, >> the Bills list of wide receivers that
42:15you guys have signed since Diggs is just filled with guys that fantasy nerds spent years continuing to draft. Leisa, >> oh god,
42:25>> Curtis Samuel.
42:27>> He would have worked out if not for the turf toe. He's the cautionary like Ibuka story, you know?
42:33>> Yeah.
42:33>> Where you at on Skyler Bell, Keon, and Josh Palmer?
42:38>> I still kind of believe in >> as a as a man that's touted Chris Bell.
42:41I'm expecting you to be be prepared for this.
42:46>> Uh Skyler, he's got the athletic profile which makes me feel >> good in that preseason game.
42:51>> He did. He looked but it looked like his college phone where it's like who the hell is he playing against? And that was
42:56the only concerns I had there. But again, when you look at the actual how he's able to move and stuff, maybe it
43:02can hold up. I just think Keon, man, because the thing about Keon is he's just such a knucklehead that he that's
43:07why it hasn't worked out. It's not like he's gone out there like people don't give him any credit for having a damn
43:12good rookie season. He was honestly coming on strong until he like broke his wrist or whatever it was after that uh
43:18Titans or Seahawks game.
43:19>> Absurd what he did in the Ravens game and then just being a zero. Like he he looked like he looked like a star
43:26>> and that cuz my whole thing I thought he could just be Gabe Davis basically like the boom bless wide receiver three. not
43:34expecting 1,200 yards and 30 touchdowns, but that could still be if DJ Moore is going to be a middle class man's version
43:41of what Stefon Digs could be. Like, why couldn't Keon rise up and be the Gabe Davis offense if they are going to throw
43:46more like you were mentioning?
43:47>> I I also think that like to your point about the knuckleheadedness, like Sean McDerman's thing was all about like culture, culture, culture. We want good
43:55culture here. Joe Brady went out and signed CJ Gardner Johnson. So that shows you like and I always thought this was
44:04so dumb. It's like I don't care if we have churchgoing dudes on the team. Like let's let's get some dogs on the squad.
44:12So I think Joe Brady's more more willing to like >> roll with that. I think last year was probably a wakeup call for Keon. Keon's
44:19the one I draft the most. I >> I do think it will be like a wide receiver three by committee where it's
44:25like Keon in the red zone >> will be the guy. Josh Palmer is still good at beating man coverage. Looks like
44:32he was banged up last year. And then Skyler Bell is kind of like Shakir insurance slash like me like I I don't
44:40know, man. He looked like like he honestly looked like Stefon Diggs like >> like out there. I don't think he is
44:47Stefon Diggs, but he looked that way.
44:49>> I'd be cool with Keon here.
44:50>> Yeah, let's do it. Why not? We We can't talk about Keon and not take him.
44:55>> Got Josh Allen. We got Don Concaid. And now we got Mr. Keon Coleman. So that's just the thing cuz the way he's talked
45:01about they act like he's just this horrible football player out there. I mean 19 yards for catch as a rookie caught
45:07>> and also like look at just go back to the wide receiver tab and look like this this round is so bad.
45:13>> IR everywhere.
45:15>> Yeah. Like by like people are taking Odell and Tyreek you know. So it's like may maybe the old first round pick works
45:24out you know. Maybe. Man, Skyler Bell is honestly the other wide receiver.
45:29>> Are we taking another running back or or No, >> let's see. Is there anyone to uh I think we have five or six. We have
45:39six.
45:40>> Do you want a seventh or no?
45:42>> We could go M goingan.
45:45He's the only guy.
45:46>> Let's do Bell first and just figure out who comes back to us.
45:49>> That's fun. Sailors is there too.
45:52Panthers RB AJ Dylan beat out Trevor Etchen.
45:57>> No, I just >> No, I wasn't suggesting.
46:00>> There's some guy in my chat.
46:01>> I was just saying his name to be clear.
46:03I was not recommending AJ.
46:04>> There's a guy in my chat every night trying to like tout AJ Dylan. He's like, did you see that catch in the preseason?
46:10I'm like, brother, seek help.
46:14I was actually, the reason why I looked up uh AJ Dylan recently was because when the Josh Jacobs stuff went down, I was
46:19just like, "Oh, would Matt Laflur try to bring >> Oh, bring him back.
46:23>> AJ Dylan." And then I was like, "Oh, no.
46:24AJ Dylan made the Panthers team." Like, did not necessarily see that coming. So, >> Trevor's on the practice squad, >> I think. So, he didn't make the team.
46:33I'm not sure if he signed back with the practice squad.
46:35>> Wow. Can you recap the squad for us so I can I can get a sense of >> where we're not? Start it off guys,
46:43Jamar Chase and George Pickkins. Yeah, when a little zero RB in the year 2026 is possible. Got our guy Josh Allen to
46:50build some nice bill stacks. And you know, he is the best quarterback alive, so that also helps. Mecca in round four.
46:56Bucky Irving and Marshon Lloyd in round five and seven to help get some running backs started. Carnell Tate number four overall pick. End of round six. Maybe
47:03it's not the worst idea ever. Stefon Diggs cuz you know what? When we're getting the Bills going, why not bring back Stefon as well? Don Concaid as our
47:10tight end. one free falling Jackson Dart. I mean going after Jordan Love, Kylo Crazy Holmes, man. Really was some good value there. Had to catch up at
47:19running back and I do believe we did a good job with that. Particularly when we do have these teams without a hero or
47:23superhero or be build. You want guys who you're not just praying for, you know, an injury and are super handcuffed dependent. So we probably have that with
47:30Kaylin Black, but Katon Mitchell, Aaron Jones, and Chris Rodriguez can get us through some weeks. Two more tight ends to fill out that part of the squad with
47:37Greg Dolric and Kenyan Sadi. And then three wide receivers in a row. Omar Cooper, Keon Coleman, and Skyler Bell again continuing to play into the Bills
47:45stuff. It is wild, man. Like for like if you had to look at all the top like highest projected quarterbacks and then
47:53show like where their pass catchers are going. I know DJ Moore is up there, but for the rest of the Bills to be as
47:58affordable as they are, man, pretty surprising.
48:01>> Yeah. And again, that's just people being like, "Oh, it's still going to be Knox. It's still going to be Jackson
48:06Haw." But like, what if it's not? What if it's not this year? You know what? If uh what if one of these guys separates?
48:13I like >> I was I heard Joe Brady talking about King Kade and he's like, "We want to play him. His knee was hurt." Like, why
48:19wouldn't they want to play him? He's awesome.
48:21>> Yeah. And healthiest offseason he's had >> uh for a long time. What What do you want to do with this last pick? Do you
48:28want to be a running back or wide wide out?
48:31>> How many wide receivers we have? Three, six eight.
48:37Let's see if McGowan's there. Okay, >> because I will say like Kareem >> I think the choice is like I kind of
48:44like correlating it. So single Terry Naji because we got uh Dart McGoen if not it's just like a good handcuff
48:56and then if we go wide receiver I think even going like Josh Palmer getting the whole crew out there or going Daryus
49:02Sllayton Darnell Mooney um is reasonable too.
49:07I don't see any other running backs that would interest me beyond McGoan. Do you know the McGoan story though?
49:13>> Taj Brooks? No. Tell me the Tell me the McGowan story.
49:16>> He uh he started off at Oklahoma and then he like assault some dude wanted to sell him some weed and he uh apparently
49:26didn't sell it to him. So McGowan like got a gun and uh tried to like rob the guy to get his weed. So he got kicked
49:33off the So he got kicked off the Oklahoma football team. went on to play for like four more. But now our boy has
49:38his head on straight. We've all been there and we're ready to play some football. We got the talent. He eventually >> Hey Seth, dude, come on down, man. I I
49:46like that. Don't let anyone rip you off, dude. Street smarts.
49:51>> DJ Giddon's not in the picture. Like it is one of those things where I thought the Cowboys, Chiefs, Bengals, um like
49:58there's in the Ravens. Those are teams where I was like, "Okay, I get that's their handcuff. Go and get some." Yeah,
50:03I think McGawan like just getting Jonathan Taylor's clean backup here.
50:07Pretty nice.
50:09>> But uh it was these teams where I was like, "Okay, can we actually believe that's their handcuff?" But Naji signed
50:15somewhere. Kareem Hunt's been linked to the Lions. I still don't know why he's not on the Chiefs. James Connor's on IR.
50:20Like just the names that I thought could be problematic aren't really there.
50:26>> Yeah. And I do I still do think that like maybe the Giants are trying to like wrigle out a sixth round pick for Tyron
50:35Tracy or something like that. But >> yeah, >> that stuff like I always think could happen and never does, you know?
50:42>> Yeah, I thought Singleary actually low-key looked good this. It's funny when these guys like Singleary week one cut back across the field, had a little
50:49like stutter step. It was a sick 30 yard play and no one gave a [ __ ] because it was Devin Singleary. People hate on him.
50:56He is He's a good football player. He like remember a couple years ago on the Texans, too. He was like >> there's
51:04>> Yeah. And then he just got like relegated to backup.
51:09>> Fun time. My friend Liam, I will not be playing Liam in chess. I do not want to get my living ever living ass kicked.
51:16But you did hook me up with nice little promo code to learn some chess. I am planning on taking advantage of that.
51:21>> Oh yeah, that's right. The chess kit. I forgot about that. get getting in those streets. I don't know, man. Seems nice.
51:26Just uh I don't takes your mind off of things. Also, just strategy probably. Do you think it helps you like with best
51:30ball and just kind of game theory strategy overall or just kind of an escape than anything?
51:34>> Um definitely for the quick picks. It helps because like I I play a lot of blitz chess so I just got the mouse speed and
51:43the in the decision- making.
51:45As far like, you know, I think chess is good for you in general. So hard to say like what strategic benefit it it's
51:53given but yeah no I think it's good for us and kids to learn you know just for for life reasons >> can't hurt man so how we feel about the
52:02team overall you can say if you think it sucks any picks that you wish you had back any dumb things I did out here
52:07>> I like it a lot um didn't get dart stacked which is fine but ultimately stacked up two week 17 games that seem
52:16pretty appealing to me Bills Dolphins Giants, Cowboys. Uh we got some appealing running back picks. Like we're getting early season production. We got
52:25some darts that could pay off in in black and uh McGawan. I like our tight end room. We could have gone four there.
52:34Like the the Omar Cooper pick could have been a fourth tight end if we wanted.
52:39>> Keon and Skyler Bell, I think, are fun.
52:40We don't even really need these guys with our starters. So, I beat I build a lot of teams like this. Anchor Bucky is
52:47pretty fun. Um, looking forward to splitting $3 million come January.
52:54>> 100% with you, man. Again, guys, I'm sure if you're here, you already know Liam, but chess Liam streaming all the
