LIVE Fantasy Football Draft: FFPC Main Event w/ Mike Schopp ($2,200 Entry)

Following a report that he scored the first Denver preseason touchdown, the source has moved Adam Prentice up their draft board to a round nine target.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is expected to be drafted within the next few picks following the early first-round selections.

Ashton Jeanty was drafted at the 14th overall pick, which the source notes is low compared to recent drafts where he often went in the second round; there is currently some community nervousness regarding his outlook.

Bijan Robinson is considered the best running back in football by the source, who selected him with the second overall pick in the FFPC Main Event. The source advocates for a handcuffing strategy when drafting elite studs like Robinson to protect against potential missed time and to lock down a roster.

The source views Blake Corum as a high-upside 'edge pick' and potential league winner, noting his increased usage in the second half of last season and the expectation of an expanded role in the Rams' offense; he is considered a better value than Tony Pollard.

Breece Hall was drafted in the middle of the third round, highlighting the gravitational pull of the running back position in the current draft environment.

Brock Bowers is a popular target in high-stakes drafts, with some participants having already drafted him on 17 different teams; the source notes that drafters are either avoiding building around a tight end or already have high saturation for him.

The source notes that Brock Purdy was an alternative quarterback option available later in the draft (round 11), but they opted for Caleb Williams instead.

Caleb Douglas is identified as a late-round riser seeing increased hype and buzz, with his ADP moving up into the 14th round in some leagues.

The source drafted Caleb Williams in the ninth round, viewing him as an ascending player in one of the league's best offenses and locking in a correlation bet with Luther Burden.

The source predicts CeeDee Lamb will be the next player selected in the draft.

Chase Brown was selected at 1.04 in an FFPC Main Event draft, a move the source defends by noting he averaged over 20 points per game in contests with Joe Burrow last year. Drafters are becoming increasingly comfortable with the quality of the offense surrounding him, and he is being utilized in stacks with Burrow and Tee Higgins.

The source acknowledges Chris Godwin as an interesting wide receiver option but expresses a lack of personal interest in drafting him at his current draft position.

Chris Olave is a high-value target due to elite usage, including over 150 targets and 100 receptions last year. The source highlights his elite first-read rate, target share, and air yard share, noting that Kellen Moore's high-tempo offense and an improved offensive line provide significant upside, despite acknowledging his history of missing time.

The source characterizes Chuba Hubbard as a compiler who lacks explosiveness and is inefficient as a receiver. He ranks at the bottom of the league in explosive play rate among running backs with significant touches and is currently dealing with a week-to-week hamstring injury.

Colston Loveland is identified as a potential draft target, with the source expressing interest if he falls to their pick. He was also selected in the second round of the FFPC Main Event by Fantasy Sopranos.

The source considers D'Andre Swift a draft option but notes that he represents a lower-upside, safer pick compared to swinging for the fences with other players.

The source mentions Dak Prescott as a potential quarterback option in round 12, though they ultimately chose to draft Caleb Williams earlier.

The source views Davante Adams as a bridge player for fantasy teams, providing immediate value before potentially breaking down later in the season, at which point Jordan Addison should be ready to take over.

Devon Achane is expected to be off the board by the time the current drafters make their next selection; the source expressed relief when he was selected by another team, simplifying their own draft decision-making process.

Denzel Boston's ADP is rising; he is no longer the late-round value target he once was, as he is now being drafted earlier than expected, often alongside Kasey Kahne Ception.

The source explicitly states a desire to 'fade' Derrick Henry in the draft, preferring to target wide receiver talent like Malik Nabers at the 2.11 spot. While the source acknowledges he might go higher than expected due to the rapid depletion of running backs, they remain hesitant to prioritize him.

Mike Schopp expresses a lukewarm stance on DeVonta Smith, acknowledging his status as a Heisman winner on a winning team but noting he is not particularly excited about him as a draft pick.

Mentioned as a player who was drafted by another team.

The source explicitly states a preference for drafting Emeka Egbuka over Rashee Rice.

The source likes the value of Garrett Wilson at the 4.02 draft position, noting they had previously selected him in another draft.

The source selected George Kittle, noting that while they initially faded him due to injury concerns, they are now swayed by his upside and potential for roster correlation. Kittle is expected to be ready for Week 1, is considered a fine value, and has a consistent history as a top-three tight end in PPG. The source describes him as the only 'dusty' player they are chasing, believing he could be awesome this year.

Harold Fannin was selected off the board during the draft alongside fellow tight ends Sam LaPorta, Kyle Pitts, and Tucker Kraft.

The source is conflicted on Isaiah Likely, initially identifying him as a high-upside draft target but later explicitly stating they do not like him at all and prefer George Kittle.

JK Dobbins was a target for the draft strategy, with the source noting he would have been a nice pick before he was taken off the board by another team.

The source expresses high regard for Ja'Marr Chase but ultimately passed on him at the 1.02 spot, citing that the two-three turn is too rich at the wide receiver position to justify passing on a top-tier running back.

The source identifies Jadarian Price as a player who would have been a nice value pick to come back around to them in the draft.

Jahmyr Gibbs is a high-value running back target in managed leagues; the source notes he is a player worth stopping to consider even when draft strategy at the position feels stuck. He is being drafted early in the FFPC Main Event and has been observed as part of unique roster builds alongside Derrick Henry and George Pickens.

The source discusses the viability of drafting James Cook as high as the 1.06 spot, noting that pushing running backs up the board can alleviate concerns about availability in later rounds.

The source likes the value of Jameson Williams at the 5.11 and expects his ADP to continue trending toward the late fifth round.

The source selected Jayden Reed over Michael Pittman, citing higher upside. While acknowledging potential frustration with LaFleur's usage, the source highlights Reed's health, positive vibes, and the potential for manufactured rush attempts, especially if Josh Jacobs misses time.

Jaylen Waddle is considered the 'Mendoza line' for the source's wide receiver rankings, with concerns noted regarding his recent missed time; he was subsequently selected off the board during the draft.

Joe Burrow is viewed as a strong target, with the source noting he could win MVP and lead the league in passing yards. Managers are targeting him in the eighth round to complete stacks with Tee Higgins and Chase Brown. The source notes that teammates playing with Burrow last year were automatic, averaging over 20 points per game.

The source is increasingly open-minded about drafting Brooks, citing optimism from coach Dave Canales regarding his potential usage in the passing game. Brooks is viewed as an elite prospect who would have been a first-round pick if healthy, and the team is optimistic about his role as the first running back off the board.

The source views the 5-6 turn as an appropriate range for Jonathan Brooks, noting that high-stakes drafters have previously taken him over established players like Travis Etienne and Cam Akers. The source expresses optimism about his passing game usage under Dave Canales.

Jordan Addison is a concern due to a current right hamstring injury and a history of lower-body injuries. The source views him as a long-term play behind Davante Adams, suggesting managers rely on Adams early and transition to Addison as the season progresses.

The source advises against drafting Jordan Tyson due to injury news, citing a lack of clarity regarding his recovery timeline and the associated risk, despite acknowledging he would have been an 'edge pick' if healthy.

The source views Josh Allen as an 'edge pick' when the quarterback position offers significantly more value than available wide receivers or running backs; the source was relieved when he was selected at 4.11, removing the pressure of the decision.

The source notes that while a Josh Jacobs selection would have been an interesting draft strategy conversation, he is a player to monitor for missed time; if Jacobs misses games, Jayden Reed could see increased usage via manufactured rush attempts.

Keeton Mitchell is cited as an example of a backup running back whose ADP has risen significantly, moving from a late-round value to being drafted as early as round 10.

Kenneth Walker III is a popular 'flag plant' target, with the source noting he is being drafted as early as 1.06 and 1.12 in high-stakes formats. The source expects the Seattle offense to lean heavily into Walker, which contributes to a negative outlook on teammate Rashee Rice.

The source notes that it is rare for fantasy managers to draft Keon Coleman as early as his current draft position.

Kyle Pitts was selected off the board during the draft alongside fellow tight ends Sam LaPorta, Harold Fannin, and Tucker Kraft.

Kyren Williams was selected at the 3.11 position; the source describes him as a highly efficient starter for the Rams who is not old and remains the primary back in a high-powered offense.

The source identifies Luther Burden as a high-upside target, preferring him by a wide margin over other options. He is also considered a viable correlation target to pair with Caleb Williams in fantasy drafts.

The hosts prioritize drafting Malik Nabers over Derrick Henry at the 2.11 spot, expressing a desire to 'swing for the fences' with the selection.

MarShawn Lloyd's ADP has shifted to the ninth round, which the source describes as the 'new normal' as he is being drafted earlier than in previous drafts.

The source compares Michael Pittman to Jayden Reed, characterizing Pittman as the safer floor option compared to Reed's higher upside.

The source prefers Nico Collins over other available options, citing consistent production of 17 points per game for two consecutive years and over 15 points per game last year, despite acknowledging his injury history.

Puka Nacua's draft stock is being impacted by concerns regarding a potential looming suspension; the source notes there is uncertainty surrounding whether to trust him at his current draft position.

The source is avoiding Rashee Rice, projecting regression for the Kansas City offense and suggesting it will lean more heavily on Kenneth Walker. The source ranks Rice lower than consensus and lower than several other wide receivers in the same range, preferring Emeka Egbuka.

Sam LaPorta was selected off the board during the draft alongside fellow tight ends Kyle Pitts, Harold Fannin, and Tucker Kraft.

Saquon Barkley was selected by team six, as he was expected to be off the board quickly in the current draft.

Tee Higgins was selected off the board, impacting the remaining draft pool; he was specifically targeted by Fantasy Sopranos as part of a stack with Joe Burrow and Chase Brown.

Terry McLaurin was selected by the opposing team in the draft, removing him from the pool of available players for the current team.

Travis Etienne was a target in the team's queue but was drafted by an opposing team before they could select him.

Tucker Kraft was selected off the board during the draft alongside fellow tight ends Sam LaPorta, Kyle Pitts, and Harold Fannin.

Tyler Warren was selected by Fantasy Sopranos in the third round of the draft.

Zay Flowers is mentioned as a potential alternative draft target that the source could be persuaded to take.
