Player insights

A.J. Brown

PositiveValue18:39

AJ Brown is a clear WR1 target at the 1.12 turn. Drafting him alongside CeeDee Lamb is considered a correct strategy to establish a dominant wide receiver core rather than attempting to be balanced.

Insight page
PositiveUsage23:57

A.J. Brown is part of a high-end wide receiver core that the drafter built upon by leaning into a start-three-WR strategy.

Insight page

Aaron Jones

NegativeValue22:47

Aaron Jones being drafted in the 10th round is considered a bit early based on current NFC ADP trends.

Insight page

Amon-Ra St. Brown

PositiveProjection4:54

Amon-Ra St. Brown is a high-stakes draft staple, typically selected at the 1.04 spot. He is viewed by some analysts, including Chris Vicaro, as a dark horse candidate for the overall WR1 finish. He is consistently identified as a strong pick in the current draft landscape.

Insight page

Bijan Robinson

NegativeValue6:32

Bijan Robinson is consistently drafted as one of the usual suspects in the early first round of high-stakes FFPC and NFC drafts.

Insight page

Blake Corum

NegativeValue38:46

Abib Agatoba highlights that a sharp manager chose Blake Corum over TreVeyon Henderson, which he considers a very noticeable draft decision.

Insight page

Brandon Aiyuk

NegativeValue33:51

Brandon Aiyuk is cited as a successful historical comparison for players drafted with similar capital in the late first or early second round.

Insight page

Brian Thomas Jr.

NegativeValue33:00

Brian Thomas Jr. is being drafted at the 609 position, which is consistent with current draft expectations.

Insight page

Brock Bowers

PositiveProjection20:57

Brock Bowers is consistently drafted in the second round of NFC drafts and has the potential to average 18-19 points per game.

Insight page

Caleb Williams

NegativeUsage20:56

Caleb Williams was selected as part of a double-tap quarterback strategy by the team drafting at the 1.01.

Insight page

Cam Akers

NegativeValue27:11

Cam Akers' ADP is falling from the mid-fifth round to the 6.04 due to negative noise, including coach Jim Harbaugh's comments regarding his health and potential behavioral issues, though much of this is dismissed as fake noise.

Insight page

Cam Ward

NegativeBust41:41

Abib Agatoba describes the selection of Cam Ward in the 11th round as the "craziest pick of the entire draft," noting he was taken ahead of several established, more appealing quarterbacks like Brock Purdy, Jared Goff, and Patrick Mahomes.

Insight page

CeeDee Lamb

PositiveValue18:39

CeeDee Lamb is a strong start for a team drafting from the 12th spot, especially when paired with AJ Brown to secure two team-wide receiver ones. He is a core piece of a wide receiver-heavy strategy that leans into building strength at the position.

Insight page

Chase Brown

NegativeValue10:01

Chase Brown has settled in as a late first-round pick (1.11) in high-stakes drafts, making him a 'big swing' player. While he averaged over 20 points per game in contests where Joe Burrow was active last season, Abib Agatoba notes that at a 1.11 price, he must exceed his historical cumulative production by two or three points per game to be considered a league-winning value.

Insight page

Chris Godwin

NegativeValue30:14

Chris Godwin was noted as the lone wide receiver being drafted within a specific cluster of running backs in the sixth round.

Insight page

Christian Watson

PositiveBreakout24:04

Christian Watson is being heavily targeted in FFPC and NFC drafts as a major breakout candidate, often being selected as a team's fourth wide receiver in start-three-WR formats.

Insight page

Colston Loveland

PositiveProjection34:37

Colston Loveland is being drafted in the fourth round and is part of a group of tight ends expected to potentially average over 15 points per game.

PositiveValue19:09

DJ Moore is considered a strong structural selection, going at the 4.02 and notably ahead of Tetairoa McMillan in high-stakes draft formats.

Insight page

D'Andre Swift

PositiveValue23:14

D'Andre Swift is an ADP riser now living in round four; he is highly regarded following positive reports from Bears coaches that no skill position player had a better training camp than him. The Kyle Monangai injury has further solidified his status as a favorite dead zone target.

Insight page
NegativeValue40:51

Abib Agatoba notes that a team missed out on drafting DeAndre Swift by only one pick, which would have significantly improved their running back build.

Insight page

Dalton Kincaid

PositiveValue35:33

Dalton Kincaid is generating significant enthusiasm among high-stakes managers and is being drafted ahead of George Kittle.

Insight page

David Montgomery

NegativeProjection19:29

Abib Agatoba has moved David Montgomery down in their rankings due to concerns regarding the potential for a 'Woody Mark' split backfield scenario being worked into the offense, despite acknowledging he remains a popular pick. He is currently being drafted in a cluster of running backs including Toutin, Price, Judkins, and Bucky Irving within a six-pick range.

Insight page

Deebo Samuel

NegativeValue33:51

Deebo Samuel is cited as a successful historical comparison for players drafted with similar capital in the late first or early second round.

Insight page

Denzel Boston

PositiveSleeper20:24

Denzel Boston is cited as a theoretical upside wide receiver six that Abib Agatoba targets for roster depth.

Insight page

Derrick Henry

NegativeValue20:02

Derrick Henry is typically drafted around the 2-3 turn in NFC formats; his selection at the 2.04 in this draft was considered unusual, though he is expected to be a stable, high-performing asset alongside players like Javonte Williams.

Insight page

Drake London

NegativeValue18:45

Drake London is a viable consideration at the 1.12 turn for managers who are high on his potential, though he was not selected in that specific draft sequence.

Insight page

Emeka Egbuka

NegativeInjury15:47

According to Buccaneers beat reporter Greg Auman, the team is hopeful that Emeka Egbuka will be available to play in Week 1. The team's decision not to sign another wide receiver is viewed as a positive indicator of his recovery progress.

Insight page

George Kittle

NegativeInjury34:00

George Kittle is currently healthy but carries ongoing durability concerns due to his physical playstyle and history of missing games.

Insight page

George Pickens

PositiveValue19:06

Abib Agatoba is a personal fan of George Pickens, though he notes that Pickens is currently being drafted behind players like Jaylen Waddle in high-stakes formats.

Insight page

J.K. Dobbins

PositiveValue22:44

Abib Agatoba likes JK Dobbins at his ninth-round draft position.

Insight page

Ja'Marr Chase

NegativeValue6:42

Ja'Marr Chase is a locked-in selection at the 1.03 spot in almost every high-stakes NFC and FFPC draft.

Insight page

Jahmyr Gibbs

PositiveProjection5:36

Jahmyr Gibbs is a high-priority target in high-stakes formats, with one manager at the 1.01 slot spending 85% of their FAAB budget ($850 of $1,000) to secure the draft position to select him. He is viewed as having the potential to average 25-26 points per game and finish as the overall RB1 in full PPR formats.

Insight page

Jalen Coker

NegativeValue42:59

Abib Agatoba identifies Jalen Coker as a player who represents better draft value than Keenan Allen based on current high-stakes draft board context.

Insight page

James Cook

PositiveValue9:36

James Cook is a locked-in first-round pick in high-stakes formats like FFPC and NFC; seeing him fall to the second round is now considered an aberration. Abib Agatoba ranks him ahead of Hampton in his fantasy evaluations.

Insight page

Jayden Daniels

PositiveValue43:12

Jayden Daniels is a high-upside target and a major value in the 11th round. Abib Agatoba emphasizes that he is an automatic selection if available at that stage, noting that while six-point passing touchdown formats might prioritize other QBs like Dak Prescott, Trevor Lawrence, or Caleb Williams for touchdown equity, Daniels remains a priority target.

Insight page

Jayden Reed

PositiveValue20:01

Jaden Reed is considered a nice late-round addition for fantasy rosters.

Insight page

Jaylen Waddle

PositiveValue14:24

Jaylen Waddle is trending toward an early-to-mid third-round pick in high-stakes formats like FFPC and NFC, where he is being drafted ahead of peers like Zay Flowers, George Pickens, DeVonta Smith, Rashee Rice, and Garrett Wilson. Abib Agatoba expects a career year for Waddle, citing team investment and positive training camp reports as key drivers.

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

PositiveValue21:44

Jeremiah Love is considered a surprising fall to the 4.09 in high-stakes drafts, a position Abib Agatoba views as late for his value.

Insight page

Joe Burrow

PositiveUsage17:08

Insight page

Jonathan Taylor

PositiveProjection36:40

Abib Agatoba ranks Jonathan Taylor ahead of Ollie Gordon II for fantasy purposes.

Insight page

Jordan Addison

NegativeValue42:57

Abib Agatoba identifies Jordan Addison as a player who represents better draft value than Keenan Allen based on current high-stakes draft board context.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

PositiveValue30:57

Josh Jacobs is considered a value pick at the 6.05; despite ongoing suspension fears creating uncertainty, this price point is viewed as the potential floor for his draft stock.

Insight page

Justin Jefferson

NegativeValue7:51

Justin Jefferson is currently being drafted at the 1.08 spot in high-stakes formats, consistently going ahead of Jackson Smith-Njigba.

Insight page

Keenan Allen

NegativeBust42:24

Abib Agatoba criticizes the selection of Keenan Allen in the ninth round as "egregious," noting that he typically falls to the 14th or 15th round in high-stakes FFPC drafts. His value is further diminished by the presence of Alec Pierce and Josh Downs in the Colts' offense.

Insight page

Kenneth Gainwell

NegativeValue38:37

Abib Agatoba notes that TreVeyon Henderson is being drafted after Kenneth Gainwell, a situation he finds ridiculous given the value gap.

Insight page

Khalil Shakir

NegativeUsage20:41

Khalil Shakir is utilized as a wide receiver five, which is considered acceptable depth for a roster.

Insight page

Kyle Pitts

NegativeValue35:07

Kyle Pitts was the first tight end off the board in this draft, selected as the TE5.

Insight page

Ladd McConkey

NegativeValue33:43

Abib Agatoba advises trading away Ladd McConkey and Rashod Bateman in a two-for-one deal to acquire Malik Nabers, regardless of roster construction. McConkey is also noted as a historical benchmark for draft capital.

Insight page

Luther Burden

PositiveValue19:12

Luther Burden is identified as a key wide receiver selection for the team drafting at the 1.01, serving as a WR3 in a well-structured build.

Insight page

Malik Nabers

PositiveValue20:39

Malik Nabers is considered a high-value second-round pick; Abib Agatoba has drafted him as late as the 2.10 in FFPC main events and strongly recommends acquiring him in two-for-one trades, labeling him a superior player to the assets being traded away.

Insight page

MarShawn Lloyd

PositiveSleeper44:42

MarShawn Lloyd is a strong contingent upside play who belongs in the 10th-round discussion. He has demonstrated early-season production potential with a 7.9 yards per carry average in the preseason and is valued by the coaching staff, though his role does not necessarily diminish Josh Jacobs' pass-catching duties.

Insight page

Mike Evans

NegativeInjury34:00

Mike Evans is currently dealing with an injury, raising concerns about his availability.

Insight page

Nico Collins

PositiveValue19:22

Nico Collins was selected in the second round by the team drafting at the 1.01, contributing to a strong wide receiver core.

Insight page

Ollie Gordon

NegativeValue36:14

Taking Ollie Gordon II at fourth overall in a 12-man non-PPR league is considered a reach by Abib Agatoba.

Insight page

Parker Washington

PositiveValue16:32

Parker Washington has experienced a meteoric rise in ADP, moving from the fifth or sixth round into the fourth round in high-stakes formats. He was recently drafted at the 3.11 by an NFC Hall of Famer, ahead of players like Tee Higgins and Luther Burden. Abib Agatoba views him as a high-upside target and a 'discount' version of Ladd McConkey.

Insight page

Puka Nacua

NegativeBust7:12

Puka Nacua is being drafted behind Amon-Ra St. Brown in some high-stakes formats due to off-field concerns, potential suspension risk, and injury durability questions. However, Abib Agatoba suggests he could perform exceptionally well in non-PPR formats, potentially going 'absolutely bonkers' in that specific league structure.

Insight page

Quinshon Judkins

PositiveValue19:29

Abib Agatoba expresses strong confidence in Quinshon Judkins, noting they are 'very big' on him as a running back option. He was selected at the 5/6 turn and the host notes being higher on him than the general market consensus, placing him in a similar tier to Tyrone Tracy Jr. and David Montgomery.

Insight page
PositiveProjection19:29

Abib Agatoba. That's expresses strong confidence in Quinshen Judkins, who was selected at the 5/6 turn in the observed draft.

Insight page

Rashod Bateman

NegativeValue39:56

Abib Agatoba advises trading away Rashod Bateman and Ladd McConkey in a two-for-one deal to acquire Malik Nabers, questioning the long-term outlook for Bateman.

Insight page

Rhamondre Stevenson

PositiveUsage24:48

Rhamondre Stevenson is rapidly rising in ADP, recently going at the 5.01 ahead of several other notable running backs including Tutin, Price, Montgomery, Judkins, Bucky Irving, Cam Akers, and Josh Jacobs. The expectation is a heavy workload early in the season while TreVeyon Henderson experiences a slower buildup.

Insight page

Ricky Pearsall

Insight page

Tee Higgins

PositiveValue19:12

Tee Higgins is a key wide receiver selection for the team drafting at the 1.01, serving as a WR2 in a well-structured build.

Insight page

Tony Pollard

NegativeValue38:37

Abib Agatoba notes that TreVeyon Henderson is being drafted after Tony Pollard, a situation he finds ridiculous given the value gap.

Insight page

TreVeyon Henderson

PositiveValue25:08

Despite a slow expected buildup to his workload and a fall to the 7.10 in drafts, Abib Agatoba remains a buyer, noting that the current price is "way too late" for a player of his caliber, even as he adjusts his personal rankings downward.

Insight page

Trey McBride

NegativeValue15:21

Trey McBride is consistently drafted in the third round of high-stakes formats, though he occasionally slips to the fourth round in NFC drafts due to the structural requirements of three-wide-receiver starting lineups. He is currently being drafted in the early fourth round and is part of a group of tight ends expected to potentially average over 15 points per game.

Insight page

Tucker Kraft

0:05reviewing a $100,000 entry fee fantasy football league. I'm Theo Griminger, lead fantasy analyst right here at Rotoire. Last night on
0:16this channel, I drafted an FFPC main event team with Abib Agatoba. That's an extremely high stakes format. That's
0:24$2,200 entry. Uh, and this is about 50 times as much. This is a NFC uh, legacy league and it's the first
0:34year they put this together. Uh, really exciting. I've been in Vegas for the live drafts when they have the $25,000 Platinum League and that's always like
0:43an amazing league to watch because it's some guys I draft against and it's a ton of money on the line. I'm usually
0:49drafting in a prime time at that time, sometimes drafting in a super. Um, but they have this $25,000 platinum league that they've had for years. This is sort
0:58of been a slow drip of high stakes fantasy where you've got the $25,000 platinum league in FFPC. You got the $10,000 uh entry high society in FFPC
1:09and now you got this the legacy league.
1:11Uh, and the way that we're heading this this could be like the start of of the beginning where there's people pooling
1:17money trying to get it together, get access to this sort of an event.
1:23$600,000 to the winner. So, you get paid out for second, third, and fourth. I think fourth place gets their money back. So, significant prizes obviously
1:31for second place and for third place.
1:33And then fourth place again, I think I believe it's 100,000 back. So, you break even after putting a ton of uh stress
1:39and and money into it and all that kind of stuff. Uh but a couple of takeaways that I have with this draft. This is
1:45NFC. So, you're three three starting wide receivers. You have a flex. This is full PPR. This is six-point passing touchdowns and this is not tight end premium. So
1:57FFPC you have the tight end premium where it's 1.5 points for a tight end.
2:02Um NFC usually tight ends have been getting pushed down, but it sort of feels like the year of the tight end and
2:08then who drafted in this one. We're not going to talk about which teams they were. I mean, you can figure if you want
2:13to go to the NFC uh and sort of figure out which these guys were, but I will say that there's a couple of managers in
2:19here that I will I will note that were in this draft. Chris Vicaro, watch the show with Chris and I just aired. Nelson
2:25Susa, who I split a team with in the New York Super, that's next Friday live in New York. Uh Nelson and I split a team
2:32in that. That's $2,500 entry. Nelson split a team in this one with Dave Hubard and Steve Gorggalos, which is just three awesome high stakes managers.
2:43Dave Huard has won literally everything.
2:45FFPC, NFC, he's won. Just Google them.
2:48Google Nelson Susa for his his winnings.
2:51And then Steve has really like the last couple years has been really really successful. Um all three of those guys together. Then you've also got Mike
2:58Santos in this one who's one of the best uh NFC managers around every year. Uh I don't know Mike that well. I've met him
3:06before, but I know that I have was leading the NFC Silver Bullet heading into the final weekend and I end up
3:13finishing second. Mike finished first.
3:14That was a very disappointing one. So Mike forever is going to be ahead of me in that 2019 Silver Bullet. Ton of
3:20respect for what he's done. He's put together some amazing teams. Then you got Chris Vicaro. uh awesome awesome drafter. We talked about him. And then I
3:28have to mention Chad Schroeder. Chad Schroeder uh really uh probably the most successful fantasy manager who's ever played. Has won everything. Has won
3:38continually. More skin in the game than anyone and more receipts to prove it.
3:43Like legitimately no hyperbole with all respect to the guys that have done it in FFPC exclusively. uh you know, but Chad
3:49is definitely on like the Mount Rushmore and there's a couple of FF FFPC only guys that we we could recognize.
3:55Obviously, Abibb, the Go Bills guys.
3:58Those guys have won a ton. But you've got a a group of really highly successful, high stakes guys who win a
4:06ton every year. Then this kind of entry fee drew in some just heavy hitters from the gambling world. Um people associated
4:13with CIRCA, the that's where they hosted this event. So really an interesting board. But enough of the preamble. Let's get into it. Again, third round
4:21reversal. If you're looking at the board here, this is third round reversal.
4:24Meaning if you pick at the 12, you pick 24, uh 13, and then you also pick 25.
4:29And meaning if you pick one, you pick one, you pick 24, but then you pick 36 and 37. So there's some unique builds if
4:36you've never paid attention to an NFC board. But uh I watched a lot of the stream last night and it was very
4:43interesting. I really some a couple of surprising picks, not as surprising if you've been following sort of the way things are going in the NFC and we're
4:52going to kind of uncover it right now.
4:54Aman Ross St. Brown went at the And one more thing to add before I start breaking it down. The the there was no
5:00KDS for this. So NFC does a Kentucky Derby style system where you basically uh weigh out your preferred draft slot.
5:09So, if I'm in a NFC and I want the 12, I make the 12 spot like my one and so on
5:16and it goes down to my least preferred uh 12th option. Then they put it all into a blender and you know it goes by
5:23preference and all that kind of stuff.
5:24So, there's a little bit more thinking than like your traditional snake draft.
5:28But this draft, this went nuts. They had fab bidding for draft slots and I believe the drafter at the 101 spent
5:37like 85% of their fab. So like an $850 out of $1,000 fab um in order to get Jir Gibbs. The 102 manager also bid pretty
5:49high to get there. Uh there was a pretty strong bids for four and five and I think you can see why when you look at
5:54the teams. Um there was a bid for the 12 spot. Uh and then so on. So everybody bid to kind of get their preferred spot.
6:02I believe that the lowest amount of fab that a manager used was maybe a 5% to get the 11 spot. Uh so you get a little
6:10bit of an interesting game theory in where you want to pick. Obviously Jir Gibbs for 85% of your fab. I think you
6:17can make an argument for it. He could end up averaging 25 26 points per game this year. Uh potentially have a
6:24unbelievable RB1 overall season.
6:27potential to also catch a ton of passes in this full PPR format. So, I get that one. And then we start looking at the
6:32board. So, usual suspects, Jamir Gibbs, Bejian Robinson, it's that. Every every NFC, every FFPC draft, it's that. Then you get Jamar Chase at the three. Almost
6:42every draft NFC, Chase goes at the three. Almost every FFPC draft, Chase goes at the three. Then you've got this interesting one. Ammon Ross Brown goes
6:51ahead of Puka at the four spot. Now, I will reveal who this one's. This is uh Chris Vicaro came on my show and the
6:58show aired yesterday morning and he said that Aman Ross St. Brown was his dark horse wide receiver one overall. Well, Chris just put 100K behind it. So, this
7:06is not just talking about it. This is skin in the game and this is making a big bold stance that this is year of the
7:12sun god. Aman Ross St. Brown goes at the 104. We've seen it in a few drafts here.
7:17We've seen a couple of analysts move him ahead of Puka Nakua. Nua obviously the off the- field concerns, potential for a
7:24suspension. Um and you know just you don't necessarily rest easy with Puka Nakua with some of the crazy stuff that's come out this offseason. Um Puka
7:33also you know potential to get banged up whatever. Puka I still have ranked ahead of Aman Ross St. Brown. You get access
7:39to that over at Rotoire. I just updated my rankings last night before my main event. Uh they are very locked in. If
7:45you're drafting this weekend, if you're drafting this week, use code Theo35, get 35% off. So, it goes Aman Ross St.
7:51Brown, then it goes Puka, then Christian McAffrey, Jonathan Taylor, then here's the interesting one. Justin Jefferson goes ahead of Jackson Smith and Jigba.
8:02So, we get Jefferson going at the eighth spot and we get JSN falling to nine overall, which is very low for an NFC
8:10league for JSN to go at the nine. I'm still very into JSN, but the drafters here faded him a little bit to a point.
8:19He ends up, I think, becoming a really good value for team number 10. I don't like necessarily what team 10 did
8:28following up JSN where they go [snorts] with three straight running backs. I think you needed to sort of get a little
8:34bit better at wide receiver with one of those picks. Maybe two running backs would have been sort of the way to
8:38handle it. But they do get the gift of JSN at the 10 spot. That could end up being a major difference maker if he
8:45continues playing like he did last year.
8:47And Brian Flurry just doesn't like screw it up. JSN feels uh coordinator proof.
8:53He feels like a player that could put up an unbelievable season. Again, I don't have that much problems with JSN and I
9:00certainly have him ranked very highly.
9:02Um, you go check out my rankings over at Rotoire, but I did also like a article where I released part of them that was
9:08free at rotowire.com and in that one I have Almanra and JSN backto back and I have those guys at five and six overall. So I'm ahead of
9:17where JSN went in this one. Then you've got James Cook, Chase Brown. The Chase Brown's an interesting one cuz Chase Brown goes at 11 overall. We've been
9:26seeing it all week long. I mean, basically, ever since Ashton Genty went down with the injury, it's been two things that have happened. Genty's
9:34fallen to the second round. And in this one, he goes up a little early. I mean, not like crazy early, but he goes at the
9:41203 in this one. We've been seeing Genty fall to like the 209, the 208, the 210, as people are sort of a little worried
9:48about maybe week one, week two. But, but what Genty falling to the second round has done is it's made James Cook
9:56completely locked in. James Cook never falls to round two anymore. Uh if you see James Cook falling into round two in
10:01like an FFPC or NFC, that's an aberration. That's not a usual occurrence. And then you've got Chase Brown uh sort of is settled in as this
10:10late first round pick. It's an interesting conversation because Chase Brown has been so good for us in fantasy the last two years, but you're talking
10:18about 15 16 points per game the last two years. Now you're paying uh really if he scores like he did last year cumulative
10:28not like with Burrow. I get the splits.
10:30I I know about the splits everyone. But if he scores like he did collectively for the last two years then that's not
10:38that much of an edge at the 111. You're basically needing him to beat that number by two or three points for him to
10:45be a quote unquote league winning value.
10:48Talking about the structural aspect of Chase Brown, I get it and I like Chase Brown a lot, but it's different paying
10:54the 111 for him than it was when we were paying like the 204. And it sounds like a like a micro difference, but it's a
11:00difference. If you draft enough, you sort of understand that Chase Brown is sort of a a big swing player for this
11:06year because he did average 20 plus points per game when in games with Joe Burrow last year, but he goes at 111 in
11:13this one. Then the team in the 12 spot, I think, did the correct thing. uh CD Lamb, AJ Brown, they went wide receiver,
11:20wide receiver. You could have made an argument if you're a Drake London stand to push him there, but if if you're AJ
11:26Brown, uh clearly as the wide receiver right there, then I think they leaned into it correctly where instead of trying to be balanced, they leaned into
11:36it and established a strength, they get two team wide receiver ones. I love George Pickkins. Uh CD Lamb, I I understand why he goes here now and not
11:45at like the 107. Um but you get Lamb, you get Brown. That I think that's a good start for that team. Second round
11:52sort of goes as anticipated. No like shocking picks in round two. Derrick Henry goes earlier in this draft to not one of the like let's say I don't know
12:03anything about the drafter that took Derrick Henry, but I'll say that that team is not a team that usually drafts in NFC. They in their war room they
12:11could have had an NFC expert for all I know but usually we're seeing Derrick Henry towards the 2-3 turn in NFC. He
12:18goes at the 304 here. So whatever you think just that's I'm not making a statement on Henry here. I'm making a
12:25statement on it's unusual to see him go at the 204. So it's Barkley Genty Henry.
12:32Second round comes around. It's Drake London Hampton Achan uh Kenneth Walker very predictable. Then you see Malik Neighbors, the Alman Ross St. Brown
12:42drafter Chris Vicaro, he he takes Neighbors. Um, and this one, you know, this was a I think a really good value
12:49for him, but I think if I we were to ask Chris about it, would he have considered or was he considering a lav? Was he
12:56considering uh Brock Bowers or or George Pickins or somebody else there? I I think it's really a Neighbors is my guy.
13:04This is the best possible outcome. I'm taking him right here. I've taken neighbors at like the 210 in a recent FFPC main event. I totally get this one.
13:13You do have the chance for injury recurrence. Then you see the Jamar Chase manager taking Brock Bowers. Brock Bowers uh living in the second round in
13:23NFC. Then the the end of the second round goes Chris Alave Nico Collins. So no real surprises in round two. We get
13:31to round three and the interesting one here is Jaylen Wadd goes at 25 overall which is really I think the way we're
13:38headed when we get to the live drafts in New York City, the live drafts in Vegas.
13:43Um and if you are at the the NFC live drafts I'll see you next week. I'm drafting three teams over there and in
13:50Vegas I'm drafting one day in NFC, one day in FFPC and I think the third day will be an FFPC day but it's not fully
13:58booked yet. So, I I look forward to seeing everybody that sort of supported my show that plays in those formats uh
14:03in multiple live drafts. Uh and I really do appreciate some of the the highest entry fee managers in the country are
14:10listening into my Rotoire Fantasy podcast and watching on the YouTube channel last night during the main event broadcast with a Bag Bubba. We had a
14:18two-time main event champion. We had another guy who finished top five in the 350 uh both in the stream watching. So,
14:24that was awesome to see. But Jaylen Wadd living at the early second early third round. So in FFPC he's kind of crept up
14:32into the late third, but in NFC he's really become like an early third round pick. And notably, Jaylen Wadd goes ahead of Zay Flowers, goes ahead of
14:43George Pickkins, goes ahead of Devonte Smith, goes ahead of uh Rashi Rice, who's falling, and goes ahead of Garrett Wilson, a bunch of the guys sort of in
14:52contention for that next wide receiver, sort of after the Nico Collins range.
14:57So, Jaylen Wadd definitely a big flag plant by the 12 manager here. But Waddle, the drum beats are excellent. I took him last night with a beeb at the
15:05310 and I think it's a career year for him. We've seen some really good years for Wadd, but they gave up a fortune to
15:11get him and it feels like this is sort of trending into into his year. Uh looking forward to that one. So really
15:18round three sort of goes as planned.
15:21It's no real surprises. Trey McBride goes in round three. Once in a while he's in round four in NFC. It's just the
15:28nature of the structural drafting here where it's like the three wide receiver starts. So, no nothing really surprising in round three. It's complete wide
15:36receiver cleanup where it goes Wadd Flowers Pickkins, then you go Javvante and and Trey McBride, then it goes Devont Devonte Smith, Rashi Rice,
15:47Garrett Wilson, Lad Mccanki, Acha Ibuka.
15:50Uh, and today we had Greg Omen almond.
15:53Am I saying it correctly? He's a great beat reporter for Tampa Bay. I follow him. Um, I follow him whenever he says
15:59anything. I sort of it's church to me when it comes to Buccaneers. The guy's never like bombastic or over the top.
16:04Really strong beat reporter. Uh he he has the quote that they're hopeful hopeful. Uh Todd BS says that they're hopefully Amecha Ibuka plays in week
16:15one. Jaylen McMillan is playing week one. So, I mean, they didn't sign another wide receiver, which is sort of a good a good indication that they think
16:25IA's there soon, but hold on to hold on to your breath if you're rostering them like I am heading into week one. But
16:32then we get the big shock in round three. And some people looking at this might say, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe
16:37the guys are usually going in the fourth round." But Parker Washington has been living in the fourth round recently in these NFC prime times, which is the
16:45$2,000 well the really $1,800 entry uh fee leagues, which are the same scoring and same structural format, same lineups. Parker Washington's been living
16:54inside of round four. The drum beats are excellent, and the gap between Parker Washington and BTJ grows larger and larger in NFC and in FFPC uh
17:05continually. I did my ADP takeaways uh last week and the shows are sort of blending together now because I'm doing shows every single day, but it was last
17:13week. I talked about big noticeable ADP risers and Parker Washington, you used to get access to him in like the sixth
17:20round in um FFPC. You get him in the fifth round in NFC. That's over. And Parker Washington's going to live in the
17:28fourth round right up until opening kickoff in the NFL. Uh Parker Washington goes, this is this is spicy. One of the
17:34biggest takeaways to in this draft, Parker Washington goes at the at the 311 and he goes to 311 to uh NFC Hall of
17:43Famer. So like the guy drafted him is not some some scrub off the street. He's a guy who's won a ton and he took Parker
17:49Washington at 311 and then he takes him ahead of T. Higgins. He takes him ahead of Luther Burton. Um flag plant, man.
17:57That's a flag plant. And I think, you know, you've heard the argument that Parker Washington could give you a little bit of discount ladi in sort of
18:05the profile. I've heard that from a couple of smart people sort of the lad uh Parker Washington sort of discount lad maki. Josh DS until the Keenan Allen
18:14signing was sort of discount Parker Washington. Still probably discount Parker Washington. Uh but before Alec Pierce came back, all that stuff, you
18:21just kind of keep going down the list and find like discount versions of a guy. It's a fantasy arbitrage. Always a
18:25fun conversation. But now Parker Washington goes two spots behind Lad Maki. So the price of a brick is going up for Parker Washington every single
18:34day. It's like drum beatat, drum beat, drum beat. And now all of a sudden, look at it. 311. So I have a bunch of
18:41exposure to Parker Washington. Um I did a couple of teams with Scott Barrett.
18:44That's his guy. It's been his guy since March. Um so I have him on two main events with Scott. I have him in a ton
18:50of dynasties. I have him in a ton of 350s. uh Parker Washington. I hope he I hope he rewards this manager who took
18:58him at the 311 because my bags are packed as well. But holy cow, what a meteoric rise for Parker Washington being basically drafted like a rocket
19:07ship to the moon. Goes ahead of T.
19:10Higgins. Another notable takeaway here.
19:12You get DJ Moore and then of course Luther Burden and T. Higgins go to the team drafting 101. So the team at the
19:18101 did a very nice job structurally.
19:21Jamir Gibbs at the one, Nico Collins second round, then they go T. Higgins Luther Burden as their wide receiver uh two and three. Then they get David
19:29Montgomery and Quinnshaw Judkins at the 56 turn. So whatever you think of those two guys when you combine them with and
19:36I'm I'm very big on on Judkins. I know there's many out there who really like David Montgomery. I moved David Montgomery down just a little bit in my
19:43rankings. You can check it out over at Rotoire. But I'm worried a little bit about the Woody Mark stuff being true
19:49being worked in. But when you talk about getting Montgomery and Judkins as your running back two and three on a Jir
19:55Gibbs team and you still have three wide receivers, that's a great way to play this. They also were able to add Jaden
20:02Reed uh a little bit later, Tucker Craft a little bit later. So there was some really nice picks from team one. My only
20:08criticism of them, and again it's a slight criticism, is their wide receiver six. Um they are kind of weak there. And
20:17in NFC, I I always like my builds when I end up having like a sixth wide receiver. Like yesterday, I drafted a
20:24team with Davis Matic and my wide receiver six was like Denzel Boston. I like having a theoretical upside wide receiver six because sometimes you start
20:33four wide receivers and you want to have wide receiver depth in case anything crazy happens. Um, but with them they have their wide receiver five is Khalil
20:42Shakir, so it's okay. And then wide receiver six is a combination of Jaylen Naylor and Zachariah Branch. That's kind of a that's a I don't think that's a
20:51necessarily a great bet, but really really good job by team number one. They also have Caleb Williams. They also have Jaylen Herz. So they double tapped
20:59quarterback, but I think it was fine.
21:01Jaylen Herz notably goes at the 1201 in this one. He's fallen like an absolute rock in NFC leagues. Continuing back to
21:09the big takeaways, DJ Moore goes at the 402. Um and DJ Moore notably goes ahead of Tedo McMillan. Um and again goes to
21:17the Parker Washington drafter. Uh very notable there. When we continue through round four, nothing really surprising.
21:24The only surprising fall is Jeremiah Love. Jeremiah Love falls all the way to the 409 in this draft, which to me feels
21:34a little bit late. And again, this is not a major tournament. This is a closed league. So, taking on a considerable
21:42amount of risk with quote unquote bad offenses, quote unquote injured players, it it's a little it's a little harder.
21:51Now, if you're in a baseball mania underdog contest or you're in a $350 uh NFC online championship or 350 big gorilla in the FFPC and you're competing
22:00against so many managers, you know, being a little bit like taking a chance on some risk makes a ton of sense, but
22:06this is a closed team 12 12man league.
22:09Essentially, this is like a lot of the home leagues that people play in that are listening to my podcast. And I do
22:15the New York Super. That's also a 12man league. That's it. Big prizes, big entry fee, but still a 12-man league. And in
22:23this 12-man league, Jeremiah Love falls all the way to the 409, and he goes to the manager with Derrick Henry and
22:29Javvante Williams. So, I guess when you look at it, that manager went running back crazy. But if love is slow out the
22:36gate, you have Henry and Javvante Williams who are going to be really good. And then that manager went with kind of old old crusty guys. Um JK,
22:45well, you know, I like JK Dobbins, too.
22:47I like him where he went, but JK Dobbins in the ninth round, Aaron Jones in the 10th, a little early on Aaron Jones
22:52based on what we're seeing in NFC ADP, and then Rashad White uh at the end of round eight. So, this manager went more
22:59running back heavy than anyone in the draft. really kind of hard to pull that off in in uh NFC, but they do have
23:06Jackson Smith and Jigba who has sort of fell into their laps at the uh at the uh 109. So that could potentially work.
23:14Another big takeaway, we go through round four, we talk about Jeremiah Love, DeAndre Swift goes at the 411, which I've talked about him on my ADP Risers a
23:22couple days ago. So basically, I just told you how this thing was going to go with my ADP risers show. You get DeAndre
23:28Swift, who's now living in round four.
23:31We talk about guys who have moved up throughout the summer, but Swift goes at the 411. Before you were in NFC, you
23:37were getting Swift at like the 56 turn.
23:40I took Swift a couple weeks ago in NFC.
23:43I think it was um a little bit later than this. It was I don't remember the exact slot, but it was certainly not in
23:49round four. It was maybe the late fifth, and he fell to me there. I thought that was great. But it was Courtney Cronin, a
23:55uh beat reporter for the ESPN, works for the Bears, uh or doesn't work for the Bears, but covers the Bears. She talked
24:02to some coaches and they've talked about how no skill position player had a better camp than Swift. And I think the
24:08Kyle Manongi injury sort of has made Swift into this everybody's favorite dead zone guy. So, he goes right after Jeremiah Love, two picks behind him.
24:17Then you get the team that drafted Lamb, Brown, and Wadd. And I like I love this move where it's a start three wide
24:24receiver and then you have a flex and they leaned into it. They build on a strength and they draft Christian Watson. So that we see Watson going um
24:33around this range in a lot of these drafts, but people are betting on Watson heavily in FFPC and NFC as sort of a
24:40huge breakout candidate. And they get their fourth wide receiver. So they're the first team to get four wide receivers and they end up going with
24:48Watson. And then here's the big takeaway. Raandre Stevenson goes at the 501. So Raandre Stevenson notably goes ahead of Tutin, Price, Montgomery,
25:00Judkins, Bucky Irving, Cam Scataboo, Josh Jacobs. Uh Raandre Stevens just is moving up and up and up. Henderson a little bit banged up to end camp and and
25:10all the drum beats are headed towards Stevenson. I I mean I talked about this one. You know, everybody knows I love
25:15Trayvon Henderson, but it's going to be a slow buildup. It's going to be a lot of Raandre out the gate. So, Raandre is
25:22a late riser in all of these drafts for sure. And don't kid yourself. The drafters who drafted at 12, there's copycats out there in the streets that
25:32are going to copy what they did. It happens in every NFC and FFPC league when these guys these guys draft a ton
25:38of teams. And when they make a pick like this, you're going to see more and more Mandre like late fifth. I don't think
25:44you'll see him 501, but I think late fifth, early sixth is where he'll live.
25:48In the main event I I drafted with Abib last night, Mandre went in the uh sixth round, and he used to live in like the
25:56seventh round. I have like an eighth round Mandre share in NFC a couple weeks ago. Then uh in the draft I had with
26:03Davis Matic, uh Mandre also went in the sixth round. So, like Mandre is living in that six, but this one he goes at the
26:10501. Um, really appreciate the chat being active here. I'm trying to follow the follow the board, but really appreciate all the live viewers for all

26:58leagues together. We're not messing around here at Roto Wire. We're we're getting it in. So yeah, go ahead and help out the channel when you get a
27:05chance to. Um, continuing to talk about where people are falling and we start seeing a little bit of Cam Scataboo fall
27:12where you get to the This is not unusual for NFC if you're playing in this format. When you get to like the middle
27:18of the fifth, it's like running back time up until [clears throat] the middle of the sixth. And nothing different here. The the Chris Vicaro team, I
27:27already I already outed you, Chris. I'm trying to trying to keep it close to the vest. You're my boy. But you took Vlad
27:32Maki, Malik Neighbors, Aman Ross Staint Brown. Awesome pick with Bree Hall in round four. You guys know how much I love Bree Hall this year. Then Chris
27:40goes Bashel Tutin um at the 509 which I want I would love to ask Chris about this one. I actually might ask Chris
27:48about this one. Were you considering anybody else there? Because Tutin and Jadarian Price and Judkins for me are all sort of like in in a handful of guys
27:57there. I'm higher on Judkins than some people, but Toutton, Chris takes ahead of Price, ahead of Judkins, and ahead of David Montgomery. So, you get Toutin,
28:07Price, David Montgomery, Judkins, and Bucky Irving all go within uh six picks.
28:14So, Chris Godwin was the lone wide receiver in that range. But what's notable is Cam Scataboo goes behind all of them, also to Chris as his running
28:24back three. So you see Cam Scataboo falling to the 604 which is a little bit later than we were seeing for him like last week but you
28:34had um kind of negative comments from Harbaugh talking about like an infectious disease. It was like a super super weird way about talking about like
28:43your Bellcow running back. You hear reports that we don't know if they're true or not. A lot of this stuff is just
28:49complete fake noise, but some of it I think is leaked on purpose to get a player to pay attention. So, you get the
28:55also the defense is getting tired of Scataboo like playing I don't know if it was playing dirty or kind of like taking
29:03shots on them and they're tired of it or something which I think is all kind of nonsense. It's like one dude says
29:09something. It's not like speaking for an entire unit of guys. I mean, Scataboo seems wellliked, but Scataboo there's a lot of people sort of fading him now.
29:17So, Scataboo has started to fall a little bit in these drafts just a little bit. It the difference really is about a
29:23round though because you think about Scataboo a couple weeks ago if you're drafting a lot kind of living in the middle of the fifth. Now, he's sort of
29:29falling into the occasional sixth and tonight or last night, excuse me, went at the 604. Then the notable one is Josh
29:37Jacobs. And um I was in the chat last night watching this live and people were sort of speculating where Jacobs would
29:43go and you see uh really a fantastic fantasy manager takes Josh Jacobs at the 606.
29:52So it's a it's a little bit of a discount. Um certainly the suspension fears are out there in the community, but this is it feels like this is where
30:01the bottom is. And correct me if I'm wrong, uh, if you're seeing Jacobs going a lot later in your drafts, but 606 for
30:09Jacobs, that that's kind of where we're at. Then the rest of the seventh round, excuse me, rest of the sixth round,
30:16pretty uh, normal. But again, Josh Jacobs at the 606, excuse me, the 605 for Jacobs, the 604 for Cam Scaboo. I
30:26misread the board. Sorry about that, guys. So 605 for Josh Jacobs and then notably Marshon Lloyd goes at the 909.
30:34And I misread the manager who selected Josh Jacobs. I thought for sure that they were going to take Marshon Lloyd in
30:42round seven, round eight or round nine.
30:45They get Drake May and Casey Conpsion in round seven and round eight which is just a tremendous picks for them. So
30:52that team, it's Puka Nakua, Kenneth Walker, Garrett Wilson, Tedo McMillan, Tyler Warren, Josh Jacobs, Drake May, Casey Conpsion. And if you're like, man,
31:03that is a sick build. That manager must be smart. Well, that manager is really, really really really really really really smart and really, really good at
31:10this. And when you see his name in in these drafts, you never are happy about it. And you never want to draft next to
31:15him. I'm drafting against this manager at 9:00 in the morning in the FFPC Varsity League that I split with Dan Williamson and Andrew Shelonberg live in
31:24Vegas. Um, and we are opposite. We're like the ninth pick. They're like the third pick. So, I don't have to draft
31:30next to him. I drafted next to him one year and it was like like pulling teeth.
31:34I think we finished like one two in that league that year, but he was one, I was two, which is a huge difference in in
31:39that payout. um still made some money in that league, but you get the the next pick for them, which was interesting,
31:47was the conviction on Jakori Kroski Merritt. the it's not the Jaka Krosky Merritt uh price which is fine but it's passing up on Marshon Lloyd when you
31:58have Josh Jacobs in order to take Jakory Kroski Merritt is very notice notable to me because it's a really sharp manager
32:06and it just shows they're basically telling their hand that they like Jaka Kroski merit this year because Marshon Lloyd he didn't rise up really in this
32:15draft. I know there's some of you that are have never seen my high stakes content here for FFPC or NFC and you're
32:21just sort of interested in what a $100,000 board would look like, but Marshon Lloyd has been going here. Like Marshon going in the ninth round, the
32:30early 10th happens all the time now in FFPC and NFC. Uh he's got a lot of steam, a lot of enthusiasm, and now this
32:38window that Jacobs could be suspended.
32:40And also, Marshon Lloyd's just a very talented back with a with a lot of like there's a lot of juice to the profile,
32:46so to speak. It's sort of a player that we really like coming out of college. I had him very highly ranked that year
32:51among running backs in that draft class, and it feels like we've been waiting and waiting and waiting. So, anyway, Marshon goes um at the 9009.
33:00Continuing some of the takeaways, we'll go back into round six. Dejon Stribbling, it goes BTJ at the 609 expected. And then Dejon Stribbling has
33:10sort of been living in this late sixth round in NFC drafts. He's like a a rocket ship, an absolute rocket ship
33:18where uh you've got you've got like scribbling in NFC living end of the sixth round. And I know there's some like scribbling haters out there on X
33:27and stuff, but I I'm kind of struggling with the whole idea that this is a bad value and and something you should fade
33:34and the wrong move because Stribbling, when you think about the theoretical upside, it's there. You talk about how he's looked in the preseason against NFL
33:43players, it's been extremely good. You talk about the draft capital, elite draft capital, essentially gets drafted right where we saw Lad Manki go two
33:51years ago when Makanki averaged 15 points per game. and similar draft capital that Debo Samuel and Brandon Iayuk had right in that similar range of
34:00end of first early early second where we've seen two big hits from this organization. Then you've got Mike Evans already banged up. George KD is healthy
34:09but George KD is you know puts himself in harm's way a little bit and misses games continually. Both those guys are
34:1630 plus and then you got Ricky Pur all done for the year. So stribbling, I understand why they're taking him here
34:23at the end of the sixth round. It's still just like, talk about guys who moved up. I have a a a dribbling share
34:30in an FFPC main event from like four weeks ago where I took him in the 11th round and now he's in the sixth round in
34:38this $100,000 entry. So, it's just like it's not like uh I'm claiming to be a genius or anything, but the dribbling
34:46exposure that some people has is is just massive. I do this league called the Hardway League where that's a Bag Bubba,
34:54it's the Go Bills guys, it's uh Darren Armani who runs Fantasy Mojo, it's Dan Williamson, there's Noah Rudell's in
35:03that. It's just like all of these great high stakes guys and stribbling went so late in that one. We do that one in like
35:11the end of May. So, but just sort of setting the baseline of where ADP is going to be. Stribbling went so late in
35:16that one. So, it's just been a rocket ship. Here he is at the 610. Couple notable tight end takeaways here. Uh
35:25Brock Bowers in round two as expected.
35:28But I've talked about how this is sort of the year of the tight end where you have Brock Bowers living in round two.
35:37Then oftent times in and this is from NFC. Then you've had Trey McBride sort of early fourth, Coloulston Loveland living in the fourth, Tyler Warren in
35:46the fifth. So they all go in this draft and it feels like the year of the tight end. Could we see a situation where
35:52Bowowers averages 18, 19 points a game, the rest of these guys all average north of 15 points per game? I think we could
36:00see it. It would be sort of a historical aberration to have four tight ends scoring at that range. Then you got that
36:06cluster of tight ends who are all really appealing upside tight ends sort of behind them. And notably, Kyle Pittz was the first one off the board in this
36:17draft as the tight end five. uh tight end five Kyle Pittz followed up by Tucker Craft at the end of round seven,
36:25Sam Laaporta early round eight. Uh and then you go down to round nine, Harold Fannon Jr. goes right next to Daltton
36:33Concaid and notably Daltton King goes ahead of George KD in this one and not to the Josh Allen manager. This is not
36:41some correlation bet. This is Daltton Kaid bet and there's been a lot of like King Kaid enthusiasm. I had Mike Leone
36:48on. That show is going to air tomorrow morning. If you're watching this on the YouTube channel, uh make sure you hit
36:53that subscribe button. Leone is a super uh sharp guest. We had a really nice conversation. That'll be a meaningful show. Uh that'll help you get better in
37:01fantasy for sure. But he's flaging Kaid.
37:04There's a number of people flaging him.
37:06There's a number of high stakes managers that just love King Kade for sure. Uh super chat. I will take a break for this
37:12one.
37:14Hampton at four in a 12man nonPPR. We start three wide receivers, two flexes.
37:20That too much of a reach. Yes, I would not take Omar and Hampton at fourth overall in a 12man nonPPR league. I
37:28think that's way too high. I still think even though it's nonPR, a guy like Pukanakua could go absolutely bonkers in that league. Uh Alman Ross St. Brown's a
37:37strong pick. And then running back-wise, if you want to just play it running back-wise, Jonathan Taylor I have ahead of Hampton. I have James Cook ahead of
37:45Hampton as well. Appreciate the super chat. Um, talking about the quarterback prices, we talked about tight end. Let's talk about quarterback.
37:56Oh, before we do the quarterback one, I got to talk about the biggest uh faller here. Um, Trayvon Henderson. And I found
38:03this very notable. Trayvon Henderson fell all the way to the 710, which if you're a Trevian Henderson enthusiast like myself, this just like it's painful
38:11to watch. But I moved him down in my rankings. I keep moving him down in my rankings at Rotoire. And I finally have
38:18him at a point where I'm comfortable and I think it's still a good click where I have him ranked, but we won't get
38:24burned. And uh this is certainly not where I have him ranked. This is well behind. And the thing that you know and
38:31you might say 710 way too late for Trayvon and I agree completely. I think it's way too late for Trayvon. Just to
38:37put it in perspective, Trayvon goes after Kenneth Gainwell and Tony Pard which I think is a little bit ridiculous. But what's very notable here
38:46is Trayvon goes behind Blake Cororm to a really sharp manager who had an opportunity to take Trayvon um and as their running back three and they chose
38:55Blake Cororm which is very very noticeable. But the thing that are that is super noticeable to me is the two teams backtoback who passed up on Tayvon
39:05Henderson at the 105 or excuse me the 104 and the 105 managers both passed up on him.
39:14That's noticeable because I put a lot of weight into those two guys and what they did in this draft and they both passed
39:20up on Henderson. I'm still going to be hitting this button all day long if I get access to Henderson in the middle of
39:26the seventh. I've been waiting for this sort of a price tag. Drafting a couple more big teams this week. I'm going to
39:31be drafting a $350 FFPC big gorilla with Rich Reebar and Scott Barrett right here on this channel. I'm going over on the
39:40Fantasy Points channel to draft with a Bag Bubba and Scott Barrett. Then tomorrow night, if you're watching this live and if you're listening on the
39:47podcast, it's a Sunday night. Sunday night, Dan Williamson and I are splitting a NFC prime time. Let's uh take one more question in the chat and
39:56then we'll keep talking. Should I trade Lad Manki and Bashel Tutin for Malik Neighbors in a 10-man half PPPR league?
40:05Yes, you should. You should trade Lad Makanki and Bashel Tutin for Malik Neighbors. Uh no matter what your your roster looks like, if this is any sort
40:14of a keeper format or this is any sort of a dynasty format, then absolutely I'm going that two for one and I'm getting
40:21Malik Neighbors. Uh, I think Neighbors is just a a a better better uh player.
40:28And with Toutin, it's do we have a long-term window with him or is this a this year uh for sure thing and that's
40:36really the best bet? You never know. Uh Jacksonville was connected to some running backs here. Uh shout out to Kyle's money. Team 12 cooked for a semi
40:44zero RB. Uh talking about how Team 12 sort of messed up their running back build. I think that the Swift pick would
40:51have been theirs and would have really helped them. So, they were one pick away from getting DeAndre Swift as their running back one and I they got sniped
40:58one pick away. So, that's sort of my take on on some people talking about this um in the in the uh the chat. So,
41:06we talked about Trayvon Henderson's fall and how two very notable drafters passed him up at 708 and 709
41:15and 701 really if you want to keep it going, but 708 709 and the managers don't take him. He ends up going at the
41:24710 spot. Very, very uh interesting fall. I think this draft is an aberration, but again, this draft means a lot because you're talking about a ton
41:33of skin in the game. Couple of notable quarterback uh prices in this one. Uh the craziest pick of the entire draft
41:41was Cam Ward. Cam Ward going ahead of a bunch of really really appealing quarterbacks was absolutely crazy to me
41:50to sort of see this one. So to break it down, you end up having Cam Ward going in the 11th round, right after Jaden
41:58Daniels, right after Matthew Stafford, and Cam Ward goes ahead of Brock Perie, Jared Goff, Bo Nicks, Jaylen Herz, Baker
42:08Mayfield, and Patrick Mahomes. I don't know what this manager was thinking. and you say to yourself, "Oh, maybe Theo, maybe this manager loves Carnell Tate
42:19and maybe they drafted Carnell Tate and they're they're trying to get that correlation play that that we are all sleeping on." No, they don't have
42:26Carnell Tate either. This manager made a couple of really crazy decisions in terms of who they picked. Uh they took Keenan Allen in round nine, which even
42:35in the NFC FC is crazy high. Uh Keenan Allen's been following to us like in the round in like round 15, round 14. If you
42:44want him, go get him. But certainly not in round nine. And taking Keenan Allen ahead of Wandell Robinson and ahead of
42:51Romeo Dobs for that matter, and ahead of Jordan Addison, ahead of Jaylen Coker, those I can't get behind, especially with the return of Alec Pearson, Josh DS
43:00being out there. Um what's the upside case for Keenan Allen? not here to sort of pick on people's ninth round picks,
43:06but I thought that was egregious. Um, Jaden Daniels falling to the 11th round.
43:12I think it's reflective of some of these late reports. It's two things. This is a six-point passing touchdown format. So, a guy like a Dak Prescott, um, a Trevor
43:22Lawrence, a Caleb Williams, they they have, you know, a higher touchdown pass uh, equity potentially and outcomes than Jaden Daniels does. even with diggs
43:31there. I love Jaden Daniels, though. If I can get access to him in round 11, I'm I'm hitting that button all day long. I
43:38took Jaden Daniels uh recently in like a 10th round of of an FFPC, I think he's good there. But 11th round feels like a
43:46like a major value for Daniels. But I do think when we look at sort of no Laramie Tonsil during dealing with a tricep
43:52injury that could keep him out for the entire year and then you've got beat reporters in Washington talking about and this was and this was one beat
44:01reporter but it was a notable beat reporter. A couple other beat reporters pushed back on this statement, but one beat reporters um and I and I'm not like
44:09protecting this guy. I do not remember his name, but it's one that that I it's just escaping my memory at this point.
44:15said that this was like the worst he's seen in the O line in in in many seasons in the preseason. And a couple of uh
44:21people pushed back and said, you know, a couple guys missing from practice, all that kind of stuff. But I think there's
44:26a little bit of fear in the marketplace with the Washington offense. And I think you're seeing it reflected with Jaden Daniels here. Uh Dave Waters in the chat
44:35says that Washington's offensive line is going to get JD5 killed. I I hope not. I hope not for sure. Uh, another notable
44:42takeaway, um, Mike Washington goes at the end of the eighth round. So, we talk about the contingent upside bet. If Ashen Genty's out for two weeks, then
44:54you get two starts with Mike Washington.
44:56He looked really good. We've had a couple of recent reports that the I mean, this was such a weird thing to get
45:02a lot of traction, but it was basically the Click Kubak saying that he likes both running backs was basically the quote. That's how I read it. But then
45:11people sort of spin it into like a new role for Mike Washington. No, they like Mike Washington. They they they took
45:17Mike Washington in round four. Uh he's averaged 7.9 yards per carry in the preseason. They like Mike Washington, but that doesn't mean Ashen Genty's like
45:25pass catching role is going to diminish.
45:27like Mike Washington's gonna get carries on a weekly basis, but you do have a window with Washington now where he could produce in more than these two
45:35games because Genty one, you know, once guys get a little bit banged up, you always have reagravation in the back of
45:41your mind a little bit. With Genty, it's an ankle. So, it's like it's not a high ankle sprain. Um, but at the end of the
45:46day, Washington, you see the enthusiasm for him in this draft going in the end of the eighth round. And I think
45:53structurally how the manager did it, it was their running back four. So they it was a it was a luxury sort of building
46:00on your strength taking Mike Washington.
46:02Eighth round a little early for me for sure, but I do think he belongs in like the 10th round discussion now um because
46:08of the early season production potential coupled with the contingent upside he has and Clint Kubak is just like that guy when it comes to running back
46:17production. Uh I hope this was helpful to you. I didn't cover every single pick here, but I've been talking about a
46:24draft I was not in for about 45 minutes.
46:28I loved every moment of it, and I appreciate all the live viewers here. If you're on the podcast uh feed, we had a
46:34record month for podcast listens last last month. Um, and it's looks like it could be a record month again this this
46:40month in August. The Rotoire Fantasy Football with Theo Greinger, anywhere you get your podcasts. Some days I'm dropping two shows a day, but we're I'm
46:49not going to waste a second of your time during the season. We've got you covered with everything you need to know in
46:55season. A lot of the shows are solo shows with me, some with guests. And then I'm doing a weekly show with Jacob
47:01Gibbs from Beyond the Box Score and CBS.
47:04Once a week I'm going on his channel, and once a week he's going to be right here with me on Rotoire YouTube and
47:11Rotoire uh fantasy football uh with Theo Greinger. Um, Scott Kobe, I see you in Vegas. I'll see you in Vegas, Scott. I
47:18see you every year out there. Um, really appreciate everybody. Someone's saying team one cooked. Let me know in the comments here. Who is your favorite
47:26team? And I'll just say my favorite teams here. This is easy. One. Well, I And this is this I'll give you a
47:32trifecta. 451.
47:35That's probably my lean for my favorite builds in this draft. Team 12, I think, did some really good things. They're going to need some things to break their
47:42way at the running back position. Um, there was a couple other builds I thought were solid. Like I think that the the the the there's a couple of
47:51teams that I think have have outs to get there. But if you're saying my favorite builds, it's 4 51 12. Probably that one. And if I'm
48:02missing somebody, uh, no disrespect. Uh, somebody else in the chat like team two a lot. I, oh yeah, I'll throw team two
48:09in there. T 2 I think has some structure to them, but they would probably be my my my fifth favorite team. Um, but when
48:16you talk about Bejian Robinson, Chris Ave, unbelievable start. Um, and then I think with the running back depth that they got with Bucky and RJ Harvey, you
48:24get two potential passcatching backs in round six and seven. You get KD and Leaporta combination, which gives them another flex option. And then I love the
48:33Boon Knicks selection for them in in round 11. Um I'm high on Knicks and then they double tap it with Baker and with
48:39Baker Mayfield they have the correlation with Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin. So team two if uh if we see anything with
48:47Ibuka um then I think he's going to uh have a chance. And then I'll also give a shout out. I think the team six where if
48:56McAffrey does what he did last year, HN does what he did last year, then that's ballgame. This team can win at all. I I
49:02don't love the Rashi Rice selection for them. I'm kind of fading him a little bit, but if you look at how they made up
49:07for it with picks like Michael Wilson and Stefon Diggs, people sort of overlook those picks. But I think structurally getting Wilson in round
49:15seven, Digs in round eight were really, really uh fun. Um, that's about it, guys. Appreciate everybody in the chat. Let us know who
49:25you think has the best build here. I also posted this on X. So, if you're listening on the podcast feed and you
49:29want to look at the board, if you go to the Oogg Fantasy, that's my my handle on X. Um, posting there a lot as well. You
