0:00With it being June 18th when we're recording the Dynasty Points Market Report, there's lots happening right now from drafts to trades
0:07to questions and even still some rookie drafts. Today Andy Buckler and I Thomas Tipple have a full show planned for you
0:14guys taking it all the way back to the market report you guys know and love.
0:18Trades that we made, a little bit of advice that Buck and I have been talking about for the last few days
0:25and we're gonna give you nine players that we are willing to draft right here, right now.
0:30This is the Dynasty Points Market Report. Hello everybody, welcome back to another episode of the Dynasty Points Market Report.
0:37I'm your host Thomas Tipple joining me once again Andy Buckler, not fired for the fifth time.
0:42He is in fact here and locked in, ready to go.
0:45Tons of things happening in the Dynasty landscape. I don't want to waste a ton of time.
0:50We held a Discord hangout, just a nice casual hangout which we will be doing more in season.
0:56Likely going to be a weekly thing, especially in the Fantasy Basics.
1:00So if you are looking to join in, talk your teams, talk live trades, AMA, analyzing your leagues, giving you direct lineup advice.
1:07We'll be doing those in the paid subscriber discords weekly heading into the season.
1:11You're not gonna want to miss out on that.
1:14You can do that at FantasyPoints.com. Company man, out of the way buck.
1:18Usually it's you that shows up to this show and just that you have a ton of trades that you need to talk about.
1:25Not this time. I have four. Four trades that I have done since we last recorded a podcast.
1:31I'm excited to get into it. Let's just break it off real quick.
1:35Without knowing the team or the situation, in my inbox, I was offered a share of Omerian Hampton and Jaden Higgins, who
1:42I'm very high on, for my 26 first, which at the time was the 104 and a 27 first that I acquired
1:48from our guy Horvat for Bucky Irving earlier in the off season.
1:52It's not my own 27 first. He has a very solid team.
1:56Now, through my scoring here in this trade, it looks like I'm coming out ahead significantly.
2:01I know we're reluctant to kind of trade some 27 first, but with the not being mine in a vacuum without seeing
2:07the team, I feel pretty good about this, but you can you can grill me if you need to.
2:13Yeah, I don't think it's bad. I don't know.
2:16I'm a little lower on Hampton these days. I go through days where I'm interested and then where I'm not.
2:22I don't know. I don't know. I don't think he's very talented, you know, laterally and stuff, which we don't know if that will matter, but it might.
2:31They've talked about having the second back play more and stuff like that.
2:35The 104 was Mendoza. I mean, they're around the round away from the round away in ADP Mendoza is like around later.
2:42Hampton goes usually in around the mid third. I don't remember the like the board exactly.
2:46I'm in this league and then that draft. I remember the board, but if it was one of the receivers, I'd maybe
2:53be a little bit more reluctant to do it.
2:56I don't I don't think it's bad, though. I think it's I think it's a solid deal.
3:01You look at the kind of team that I'm rostering.
3:04It's actually kind of odd that I have strong quarterback play in this league, but yet Jalen Hurts and Jordan Love.
3:11We got a Chan now Hampton and Henry. So the running back room is richer than normal for a market report podcast running back room.
3:18Dylan Sampson, who I like our guy fat RB extraordinaire Rashad White.
3:22But then you've got a kind of so so wide receiver room here with Garrett Wilson, our guy Jaden Reed, Jaden Higgins
3:29like this team is a start to wide receiver very much held down by the running back room and the quarterbacks on this roster.
3:36And of course, Mark Andrews, TJ Blockinson. And then, of course, all my first or all my picks, I should say now in 2027.
3:44I definitely saw this as a value plus points play.
3:47That's kind of how I'm looking at it. I would love to go and acquire another wide receiver.
3:52And I know this is a listener league and I know you're all going to charge me double, but I am looking for wide receivers.
4:00So I like I like the deal for me overall.
4:03It just was in my inbox. I didn't think too much of it.
4:07I just click that accept button and we called it a day.
4:11We have another trade of mine here in the full tilt.
4:14Full tilt discord dynasty league. This was the discord before we ended up here at fantasy points.
4:19I needed a quarterback shocker. I needed a quarterback, but I ended up finding a trade partner.
4:25And I ended up with Malik Willis, a 28 fourth.
4:28And I ended up trading away Michael Mayer, Marshawn Lloyd.
4:31And I believe a pick that ended up being the two oh two or the two oh four in that draft.
4:37I'm willing to take a big fat L of Marshawn Lloyd becomes something.
4:41But I was happy to get them off my roster.
4:44That's my goat right there. I like this trade.
4:47I think I think it's good. I mean, all those players you give up are zeros and I don't care about any of the seconds in this draft.
4:56I mean, they're really even if it's an early second like you don't even feel good about drafting the one oh eight,
5:02let alone the two oh two or two or three.
5:06So I think I think it's a good trade.
5:08Malik Willis at least, you know, going to play the entire season next year and probably is going to be, you know,
5:15like a top, you know, 10 fantasy quarterback just based on his rushing and stuff, regardless of what he does, you know, for real life.
5:23He's like the Justin Fields we had a couple years ago, like as like guys like that, that read like the redraft
5:30QB that that's late that ended up being, you know, the one QB like demon, which was like, you know, like I
5:36said, fields Marcus Mariota a couple years ago when he was a starter somewhere.
5:41I think Washington and Atlanta actually. So something like that.
5:44I think it'll be able to turn in a pretty good fantasy season and you have nothing like Michael Mayer.
5:50He's going to be a free agent next year.
5:53So maybe he'll get some buzz, but he'll probably be on the dynasty waiver wire by that time happens.
5:58So you can get him back. Exactly. That pick ended up being Jonah Coleman, which I'm not like I'm not.
6:05I don't think I'm going to lose much sleep over.
6:08It's a Jackson Dart Malik Willis and Michael Penix type team.
6:11So definitely needed the reinforcements, but we've got Ashton Jente, Jeremiah love, Omerian Hampton.
6:15Jonathan Brooks. Uh, DeMond Claiborne who I am drafting a lot of right now.
6:20And of course, Garrett Wilson, a lava waddle Watson neighbors like this team is ready to go on a run.
6:26Again, Gadsden likely helm Kyle pits. Like this team is ready to go on a run.
6:31I have multiple sections, which mean another fat running back is going to end up on this roster.
6:36If Buck was the one in charge and I have my 27 first to go and gear up with a quarterback.
6:43I feel like this team is so close to being a full on force.
6:47This is the type of team that I'm okay going and trading for Malik Willis on as a stopgap.
6:53So if you're looking to trade for Malik Willis, this is kind of the type of team that you want to do that on.
7:00Let's talk about the last two trades that I have here, Buck.
7:04This one was, I don't know why, but I felt like I was just in an element.
7:09So I need some flex plays and some wide receivers on this team pretty badly.
7:14I was sitting at the 108 here. This team has competed and finished second.
7:18I have finished fourth. I have finished, you know, third.
7:21Like this team is, it's always there, but it's never quite there because of the depth on this team is not very
7:28good in a league where depth is required. So I ended up trading the 108 and I ended up trading the 308,
7:35which ended up being a Sadiq and Lane. And I got Terry McLaurin.
7:39I got the 204 where I drafted Jeremy Bernard.
7:42And I also got a 2026 fourth. When you pair that trade with what I did immediately after, I think it looks even better.
7:49I ended up going and getting Devante Adams with my original 208.
7:53I traded a 27 third and I shipped away that 26.
7:56Uh, fourth immediately, uh, which ended up being a Jolly or Jolly.
8:00I don't know which one that is actually only any, someone to correct me on that.
8:05So basically, I had a butlers back of Hakeem, butlers back up.
8:08That's right. UFL MVP. Let's put some respect on that name.
8:12He is a spring football demon, but I ended up getting Terry McLaurin and Devante Adams for essentially a 27 pick.
8:18And then I got a four spot move up in the second round.
8:22And it was Devante Adams, Terry McLaurin. I'm okay with that.
8:26I think trading the 208 up for someone like Terry McLaurin, depending on your board is a totally fine play.
8:32I'm happy with this. This just kind of strengthens that roster ready to go.
8:36Yeah. Like both of them. I've been incredibly high on Terry McLaurin all off season.
8:41Um, there's been a lot of coach speak his way to about wanting to get him 10 catches a game.
8:47Stuff like that. They have new play callers in Washington, but he has had the year from hell last year.
8:53A lot of things broke. He didn't break his way.
8:56Um, got hurt. He held out for the contract in the beginning of the off season.
9:01His quarterback gets hurt. This was never really right coming off of, you know, the first year of Daniels is his best year of his career.
9:09We'll be 31 in September, but he's a little different because he came out late.
9:14You know, he was a 25 year old rookie.
9:16So it's a little bit different. And we've seen, you know, we've seen 1300 yard seasons from guys in their thirties multiple times.
9:23I think he could have, you know, like he could be, this could be like the best season of his career.
9:30I think he'd be like a top eight receiver.
9:33Like I really do believe in, I think he's gonna have a massive season, pretty much the season that people thought he
9:39would have last year when he was going in like the third round of a seasonal draft last year before the contracts have happened.
9:47He fell a little bit. I think it's just like, this is the most, uh, like, you know, positive regression candidate we
9:54have probably, you know, and he'll be a good guy.
9:57He'll probably be two rounds cheaper and, you know, in seasonal format than he was last year.
10:02He's already cheaper in dynasty. So I think he'll be a wise for one.
10:06Yeah, I'm, I'm right there with you and not sending any 27 draft capital to me is huge.
10:12Obviously the 2027 stuff is important. I think holding onto your own picks while still push, it gives me a little bit of leeway.
10:19So you might be wondering why are they talking about trades in their own league?
10:24We don't care. It's to give you an idea beyond just telling you, go send your first for a player.
10:30There's a reason why there's a structure to it and there's other moves that you can make on top of it.
10:36The Adams trade and the McLaurin trade look completely different when you separate them.
10:41But when you combine them, they become just a whole other, um, structure.
10:45Something we really like to do is not looking at trades just in a linear fashion because each trade is different.
10:51Each league market is different. One trade that looks good for one is going to look really bad for another.
10:57So instead of just saying, go trade your first for player X, we like to deep dive.
11:03Some people like us talking about our own trades.
11:05Some people don't. And don't worry if these fall flat on their face.
11:09If you're new here, we talk about those extensively.
11:12Buck never lets me forget when I make a bad trade with them.

12:23All right, Buck. That was fun. I miss doing that.
12:26Let's talk about something that has been on our minds of late.
12:30And it's big. It's when managers begin to think that they've mastered the market.
12:34It gets dangerous for Dynasty players when we think we absolutely 100% of the time can dictate and predict all markets.
12:41Where this conversation stems from was I found interesting.
12:43The conversation I was having in the Pure Potential Discord where I had seen the Luther Burden will never be valued lower than he is right now.
12:52And it got me thinking. How many times have we seen this before where a player is steamed up whether they've produced
12:59significantly or not if it's vibes based if it's coach based.
13:02And then just watched their value kind of tank for a number of reasons.
13:06There was can't miss and we are talking about record breaking record setting.
13:10Uh, rookie seasons. And then the next year something doesn't go their way on in season.
13:15We have even seen it and we'll talk about some of those players.
13:19So Buck. Where do you stand on something like this?
13:22And then we'll get into some of the examples that we thought of yesterday.
13:27Yeah, well, I have master the market. So everyone besides me that I have.
13:31But, uh, uh, I'll just decide. Uh, I don't know.
13:34I mean, I think, you know, I always say and I've said it forever and it gets laughed at, but it's true.
13:41I I'm humility over hubris, right? You got a draft humility base.
13:44Humility over hubris. And it's really important, especially in your draft in draft rooms, especially this time of year.
13:50And I don't like me personally as someone that plays competitively and plays in a lot of leagues.
13:56And I'll talk about seasonal seasonal a lot because I play in a lot of seasonal.
14:01I want you to have hubris. I don't care.
14:03I want you to think you know, everything because that's gonna, you know, that's gonna make the board fall.
14:09It's gonna make players fall. That's gonna, you know, you're gonna have strong player takes.
14:14And it's gonna help the other people in the league because believe it or not, ADP is a real thing.
14:20And it's very predictive. It's, it's been very predictive.
14:23And sometimes leaning on ADP isn't a bad thing.
14:26Like you can look back at history. And most of the time when we see falls and drops there for reasons, like it's very predictive.
14:33It's been, you know, we don't have a better tool than ADP.
14:37It just, it just is what it is. So if you want to go against that and you want to think, you
14:44know, everything, like I want to be in a league with you.
14:47If you want to be like that, because it's gonna help, you know, it's gonna help the 11 other people.
14:54But I mean, I don't think it's, I don't think it's a good thing.
14:58Like with Luther Burden thing, like there's, it's always been, it's always like a content cycle thing.
15:03It's, it's always been a thing. Like majority of fantasy players don't understand how to, you know, talk about no floor cases.
15:10Like everything is always ceiling cases. Everything's always best case scenario.
15:13And there's never a worst case scenario. Like sure.
15:16Luther Burden will never be more, will never be cheaper than he is today.
15:20If he's good next year, he has to be good next year.
15:24Obviously there's a really good season. He's a fifth round pick.
15:27Now fourth round pick in like nerdy leagues. He'll be like a second round pick next year.
15:33If he has a really good year, that's, that is true.
15:36But if he doesn't, he's gonna fall. Like we've seen it.
15:39We've even seen players that, you know, maybe haven't started at as high as high as like Burden is starting.
15:46Burden is kind of starting at a high, high, like already in the fourth round after kind of not really doing anything.
15:52And that's because of a few things. One is because of the fact that the player pool is just not very good.
15:59And we're, we are looking for another player to finally take the reins of something.
16:04We lost basically two dynasty wide receiver rookie classes over the last two years with, you know, Rome, not playing well.
16:10Marv not playing well. BTJ having a terrible second season.
16:13Neighbors getting hurt. Um, the class before that never really, you know, last year's class never really did it.
16:19We had like Ted have a solid season. A Buka we lost during the season as far as like a dynasty asset.
16:26So someone looking for the next player. Burden starting higher than someone like say Zay Flowers did as a rookie.
16:32And then he had a good season. He didn't move up as much, but he started lower.
16:37He started in the sixth round, moved to the fourth round.
16:41Burden starting in the fourth. So he can move up to the second.
16:45Like if that makes sense, he was a good season.
16:48Like I said, there's many things that's because of the mainly because of the how bad the player pool is.
16:54A bad dynasty wide receivers are. And it's just, it just kind of is what it is.
16:59Players kind of get these narratives and get these names.
17:02Like he has a huge name already in a, you know, like a cult following already.
17:07That is like, it's just gonna, it's gonna propel them a little faster than it will.
17:12Someone that say, say like Jalen Coker has like 1100 yards next year.
17:16And he's an 11th round pick right now. He's not going to move up to the fourth round.
17:22He might move to the seventh round because he's starting a lower thing and people care about him less.
17:27I don't know if that makes sense, but I think that's what's going on with Burden right now.
17:33So yeah, like sure. Like it's just like last year with a book as a prospect.
17:38It's like, it was always all, he's a floor player, but he has the best hands in the class.
17:44He runs the best routes. He's a floor play.
17:47Well, if he has all the best that, I mean, he isn't a floor play.
17:51Actually, that means he should be a ceiling play.
17:54If he's better than everyone else. We never talk about floor cases, you know, well enough.
17:59I think that's what it is with the Burden thing.
18:02Like, yeah, sure. He'll never be cheaper if he's good, but he can also not be good and he would be cheaper.
18:09But there's a lot of things that go into that.
18:12That's just like, those are just like buzzwords and, you know, things like that, that, you know, they sound good.
18:18They look good in the headline, look good in the tweet.
18:21They get people talking. I don't really think like it's, you know, actionable very much at all.
18:27I think you hit a lot of that correctly.
18:29And it's one of those situations too, where there's so much coach, coach speak that goes out and there's so many narratives
18:36that can be spun for multiple players. It's just Burden happened to be the topic of discussion.
18:41Like he so often is, this isn't even a knock on Luther Burden.
18:45I think Luther Burden has the chance to Amon Ra and, and produce that way.
18:50I think it's, it's Loveland is the wide receiver one on that team.
18:54Um, but look at just how the wide receiver world is in general.
18:58There's no such thing as giving up on a wide receiver anymore.
19:02It is year four breakout. It is no matter what JSN did it.
19:06It is. There's so much, there's so much that people will build narratives for, which is why we care a lot about price.
19:13Like Luther Burden's ADP by year has shot up.
19:15And a lot of that, let's be honest, is a lot of yards per outrun, a lot of yards per target, a
19:22lot of isolated statistics on over a small sample, a lot of different moving parts.
19:27It's not everyone played, uh, earlier in the year than when everyone played towards the end of the year and in the playoffs, everything looked different.
19:35And then, but when he does get the ball, he looks electric.
19:39There's no denying that. And then it's Ben Johnson and the slot.
19:42There's so many different things propping this price up.
19:45And that's where danger can, can lay waiting. Now I don't mind his current price in my ADP source.
19:51He's hovering, uh, around the fifth round. I think that's a totally fine price.
19:55We're going to talk about kind of why I think that's a fine price to take a shot on a player like that.
20:02But it's just important to stay grounded for all the reasons that Buck has laid out.
20:07Things are going to shift. Things are going to change.
20:10And not everything is rose colored glasses. We have to be weary.
20:14Weary. So that's where being a little bit more predictive and not reactive can hurt a little bit.
20:19But it is good to try to stay ahead of the curve.
20:23Well said. I think that kind of wraps that up.
20:26Actually, I want to mention one more player. Uh, cause we said, we're going to talk about some examples.
20:32Jameson Williams is one of those players. Jameson Williams was can't miss last year.
20:36He's going to be a wide receiver one. He's going to close the gap between he and Amon Ross St.
20:43Brown. Um, he got steamed up and he's still a seventh round pick because he just didn't do what the conversation and
20:49the content cycle and the projection said. He had a nice stretch kind of directly correlates with Sam Laporta.
20:55There are obstacles and things that we can't predict or at least can't fully predict things.
21:00Happening. We've had, like you mentioned, egg Buka last year went from outside of the top 12 when getting drafted moved into
21:07the top 12 after a few weeks. And it took three poor games to shoot them right back down again.
21:13And now there's question marks and yes, he was injured, but that's the type Luther burden hurts his foot next year.
21:19And he misses four weeks. It's a completely different conversation, but he's already become a fan favorite.
21:25So we saw it with T Higgins. We've seen it with Zay Flowers.
21:29We've seen it with Brian Thomas, Jr., Marvin Harrison, Jr.
21:32Uh, just so many different players, but we've already seen this happen.
21:35Brian Thomas, Jr. was a one, two turn just last year.
21:39Uh, Marvin Harrison, Jr. Was right up there with him.
21:42Yeah. We see this a lot. Lad McConkie is another one.
21:45Right. Viewed as viewed as safe. Yeah. 204 for Brian Thomas, Jr.
21:49And third 302 and 303 for Marv, even though some, well, not Marv, but Brian Thomas, Jr.
21:54And Lad McConkie had two of the best rookie wide receiver seasons we'd seen.
21:59And then they struggle a little bit and they shoot right back down to the fifth.
22:03Like there's not as much security in wide receiver as people think.
22:07Yeah. It's just like, it's just kind of, it's just the game at this point.
22:12If you're a young receiver and you produce early, like you're just going to get propped up based on kind of how,
22:19like how people play the game anymore. Like even Luther burden, right?
22:22Like we'll go back to him five years ago.
22:25He's an 11th round seasonal pick and he's like a seventh round dynasty pick.
22:29And now he's, you know, he's in the fourth round just based on information is what people want to do.
22:35Like he would, he had like, he would be in the 10th round of a redraft league this season based on his
22:42rookie year, just five years ago, like a hundred percent.
22:45Like we've gotten the Chris Godwin's, you know, in the 10th round of the year he broke out stuff like that.
22:52So I don't know. I think it's just where the game is moving.
22:56And this year, this specific gear at the player pool, like I've talked about it a lot.
23:01Like it's really bad. Like I know people don't always agree with it, but it is bad.
23:06And there's, this is the least amount of consensus we've ever had.
23:10Like I go back to 2020 startups. Cause these are what they look like.
23:14You know, you would have the two quarterbacks, Alan and Mahomes.
23:18Then you'd have like Saquon in there, Alvin Kamara in there, that one cook in there, Michael Thomas in the first round.
23:24Like that's what your first rounds look like. Like they're looking similar like to that this year.
23:30Cause someone like Caleb Williams, you could be in a startup.
23:33He can go at the one six and then you can be in another one.
23:38He'd be at the two five, just not something that's happened over the last, you know, a couple of years, because it
23:44would always be over the last two years. Like every draft starts at nine, right?
23:49It's like eight quarterbacks go off. You have the two receivers chase Jefferson.
23:53And then, you know, pick 10 is when the draft actually starts.
23:57Cause you know, the first nine picks. Now the first nine picks could literally be anyone.
24:02Like you have multiple players that can range from the one Oh four to the two eight.
24:07Like that's just not been a thing for years.
24:10So there's just a lot less consensus this year.
24:12So someone like burden is going to find his way in the sixth and some drafts, the third and some drafts just
24:19kind of is what is, which is good to build teams.
24:23Like they're going to be interesting to look back on a couple of years, but like I'm going to start up right now.
24:30And burden went at the four seven and I took, you know, Garrett Wilson at the four or five.
24:35He went at the four seven over like pretty much all of the year three receivers besides Malik neighbors, pretty much all of them.
24:43He went over lad Rome, Marv, all those guys.
24:46And half of those guys are still on the board besides neighbors, obviously.
24:50But yeah, so it's just, it could just change every draft, which is, like I said, it's cool, but it's also just,
24:56it creates, you know, things like this. Right. And you mentioned looking back at other draft years, 2022, look at this draft board for ADP, right?
25:04You had the three quarterbacks that went, there's always the other random one that gets thrown up there.
25:10So that was Justin Herbert's thing. That's 22 spots above where he is right now.
25:15Then Jonathan Taylor, Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, Najee Harris, Dak Prescott, Kyle Pitts in the first round.
25:22Doesn't get much better in the second round. McCaffrey, Cooper Cup, Javante, CD Lamp, DeAndre Swift, Thares Hurts, Trey Lance, 302 spots.
25:28Mark Andrews, Austin Eckler, Russell Wilson, Brees Hall, AJ Brown.
25:31Third round, Debo, Mixon, Adams, Watson, Dalvin, Lawrence, Diggs, Waddle, Stafford, Derrick Henry, Travis Kelsey, Tee Higgins.
25:37We've needed an influx of players for years. And these draft classes are just not providing it at the rate that like we've talked about before.
25:45So you're, you're right, man. This is like a, it has completely shifted and look at the amount of running backs, wide
25:51receivers just steamed up the board at an aggressive rate year over year.
25:55I mean, it's look at 2020, look at 2023.
25:58Mahomes, Allen, Hertz, Burrow, Herbert, Jefferson, Lamar, Lawrence, Fields, Chase, B.
26:02John Lamb. And then it's a bunch of receivers.
26:04Yeah, you can see the fundamental differences as well.
26:07Because in the last draft, he just showed the Cooper Cup was in the second round.
26:12I'm assuming that's coming off of his record breaking season, right?
26:15He was in his thirties though, early thirties. He had, you know, he had the, like the grace of the series season,
26:22at least in the last 10 years. But if you look right there, he went in the second round.
26:28It looked like that was rookie year Drake London down in the fourth round, coming off of being a top, top five pick in the NFL draft.
26:36Really good prospect. Today, like a 30 year old receiver to don't care what season is coming off of.
26:42It was never going over the rookie that's drafted, you know, in the top six.
26:47Carnell Tate, who I like his spot and things like that.
26:50I don't think he is a prospect that normally goes in the top four of the NFL draft.
26:56I think he's a fine player. I think he's a fine prospect.
26:59He's just not a normal top five pick wide receiver prospect with his profile.
27:04Right now he went as like the wide receiver 10 and in my current draft, he's a third round pick.
27:10So he's going, he's going over all of the vets, all of the AJ Browns, all the good vets.
27:16You're in, and that kind of all comes back to Luther burden, right?
27:20Like fourth round pick off of doing nothing. People just want the young receiver is just, you're never chasing it.
27:26So that's where, that's where there is some truth to the never cheaper again thing.
27:31Because if you do want to get these guys, you've got to get them now because you're not going to get them in a year if they hit.
27:39Cause that's just how it goes. So that's where I think there is truth to it because like, yeah, like Drake London, fifth round as a rookie.
27:47It's just not happening. Like he is, he was a much substantially better prospect than Cardinal Tate by like five levels as
27:54coming out of college, coming out of USC. And he was, he started in the fifth as a rookie opposed to Cardinal
28:01Tate starting in the third round going as a top 10 receiver already.
28:05So yeah, I think it's just kind of where we go.
28:08Like this is where the game has gone with things like that.
28:12We've seen it like the vet, like once you turn 27, 28, like you're destined for that sixth round.
28:18You're just going to live there. Devante Smith is like the perfect example.
28:22He's in the sixth round right now, probably going to pace to have his best season of his career.
28:28I would bet. Always been someone a lot higher on Devante Smith than normal.
28:32I think we both have been, he had, he's been a very, you know, annoying player just based on not his fault,
28:39just based on the offense, the quarterback. And the AJ Brown problem he's had over the last couple of years, again, not
28:46nothing that Devante Smith, nothing his own fault. He was drafted into the situation.
28:50It is what it is. He's, he's going to be 29 or 28 this season.
28:55He's pacing. Like I said, I think he'll have the best season of his career.
28:59He's, if he does, he goes for 1300 next year and he's the wide receiver eight.
29:04He's not moving much. He's going to probably live.
29:07He's probably going to, he might move up around and a half maybe to like the fifth, early fifth.
29:13But it just is what it is. Like he'll, cause then you look at him next year, he'll be going into age 29.
29:20So I think that's just what we like, even if he, even if he has 700 more yards and burden next year,
29:27he's probably not going to be a value to head of bird.
29:30Just based on where we're gone right now. Correct.
29:33And that is going to be the perfect lead into what we're talking about next nine players that we're willing to take over ADP.
29:40And a lot of this is the reason why these guys are getting pushed down the board because people are chasing the dragon.
29:47They're chasing the upside in hopes of striking gold.
29:50And I think that is what dynasty fantasy football has become.
29:54I think it's, I think it's starting to mirror best ball probably a little bit too much in finding the golden goose, if you would.
30:01So we're going to hit into that. Coming up next, c'etai.
30:05The football summer is there. Now it's with fieber, with jubels and even with spiel.

30:26Nur bis zum 18.07. The viewers, the listeners, they're excited to dive into it.
30:31Player one, let's go. Yeah, player one is Quinshawn Judkins, a favorite of mine for a while.
30:36He's at the 506 currently. I am in a startup right now.
30:39He went a few spots higher, but he went in the fifth round.
30:43So I think he went at the 502. I think he's, you know, I think he's one of the best values on the board at RB.
30:51Not too many times you can get a running back that's only going into his second year, still in the fifth round.
30:58Usually this is like the more of the dead zone area where it's the, you know, the Kyron Williams, the Josh Jacobs, those type of guys.
31:06Not guys that we haven't fully seen yet. Judkins could come out and he could have, you know, like a top eight RB season.
31:14I know people want to talk about his efficiency last year and it was rough.
31:18So was everyone that ran behind that line. I understand a similar line going to be a similar quarterback next year, but he's been very explosive.
31:26He's a really good prospect. And he's coming off of his injury last year that he had.
31:31And he ended up, you know, getting out of it really well.
31:35He's back at camp, you know, full go at camp.
31:38Looks really, really good. He's running with the ones.
31:41There hasn't been any talk of any committee. Even Dylan Sampson, who's a good back as well.
31:46And he's, you know, pretty good in the past catching game.
31:50Hasn't been talked about like he's going to have a role.
31:53It seems like it's all going to be Judkins.
31:56And like I said, he's, he's moving very well because people thought he had like Torres ACL, MCL.
32:01He's going to be out for two years. He ended up, you know, not even having any type of ligament damage in his knee.
32:09It was just an ankle surgery. And he's like I say, he's already back.
32:13So I think he could be, to me, he's similar to like the new Joe Mixon.
32:18Who's, you know, maybe not. I think Judkins is extremely talented at times.
32:22I thought Joe Mixon maybe wasn't, but he just had this like insane role for fantasy football where even if he's not
32:29very good, he's going to like roll his way into, you know, top 10 production just based on how much touches he
32:35gets and how good the role is. So that's why I kind of, that's what I think for Judkins.
32:41And I think there's just like a lot to be unlocked there because we talk about him all we have to go
32:48from his last year and the year before, obviously at Ohio State.
32:52He got a lot of the boring touches. What he's playing, you know, alongside Travion Henderson, who got a lot of the
32:59fun stuff, got the, you know, a lot of the draws like the more creative stuff.
33:04And they just kind of ran Judkins in between the tackles, which hurt a lot of his analytics.
33:09This is why people didn't like him last year.
33:12But I was always on the side of like Judkins is a better player.
33:16And if you look at where Judkins and Travion both go in drafts, like you have to pay, you know, a whole
33:23round ahead to get Travion Henderson, who had a, you know, insanely awful end to his season with just not, he wasn't
33:30really playing even, you know, towards the Super Bowl in the playoffs.
33:33Like he fell out of favor of Ramond J.
33:36Stevenson, who's not going to be gone, who's a good player in his own right and will play next year.
33:42Judkins doesn't really have to fight with anyone. The only player he had a fight with last year was Samson, who was
33:49also a rookie, who he already beat out once.
33:52I don't see a reason why he wouldn't beat him out again.
33:56They have a new OC in, you know, new OC, new coach.
33:59I assume that Deshaun Watson will be the week one starter, which would help, you know, the dump ops for Judkins.
34:06He has thrown to his running back. You know, he's had, you know, he's helped like Lamar Miller at like kind of
34:12like, like kind of washed Lamar Miller to like a pretty solid fantasy season in Simon Houston.
34:18So I'm big on Judkins. I don't think like we usually don't get profiles like this that late.
34:23And for realistically, I don't necessarily know why he's in the fifth round, why he's not like pretty close to Omarion Hampton.
34:30Truly, like I think they should probably be pretty close.
34:33But, you know, both rookie RBs, another guy I thought Judkins just on talent is better than.
34:38He doesn't have, you know, that much. He doesn't have that sexy of a role and, you know, team that Hampton has.
34:45But that's what's holding Hampton up is the fact that his situation on paper is just really good.
34:51But if we just talk about talent, I mean, there was a lot of question marks with him as well.
34:57So I'm pretty in on Judkins. Like I said, you don't really get profiles like this in the fifth round.
35:03You don't really. And the main thing with Donny CRBs, especially drafting them.
35:07I know people don't want to draft them. I will.
35:10But you don't usually get to pick a running back, especially after like the second round that has a shot to legitimately gain value.
35:17And Judkins could gain value. He could be a third round, second round pick next year.
35:22Like I said, usually when you're drafting a fifth round RB, you're drafting the old guy that's not going to move that you're just buying points.
35:30You're buying points and youth with Judkins, which is very rare for Dynasty RBs.
35:35I think he's one of the best picks on the board.
35:38I love it. We're talking about a guy where 23.8% of his yardage was gained after explosive runs.
35:44And you're right on the efficiency directly correlated with a quarterback change.
35:47When they shifted, he came out and looked, well, phenomenal.
35:50Obviously week one was a write off, but we're talking about 10 points and 16, then 21, call it 14.
35:56Then week six came not so great with the three points, but exploded with three touchdowns.
36:01I remember the game. It was insane. That's upside.
36:04That's pure upside. And you're right. The past catching role can definitely be there.
36:08Few games where he didn't catch at least two passes.
36:12So I'm digging it. Todd Munkin, very good for his running game.
36:15I love the pick. Quinch on Judkins, a steal.
36:18I'm willing to go as high as into the fourth round.
36:21I think you have to, but when you correlate that with some of the receivers we're going to talk about later, smash pick.
36:28I love it. Buck, let's talk about one of my favorite running backs in this draft season.
36:34As of now, I've provided some pushback on Basial Tootin for over a year.
36:38The coach speak on Chris Rodriguez has been nothing but glowing.
36:41Basial Tootin's rookie year left a lot to be desired.
36:44I admit he had some flashes where he looked really good and very explosive.
36:49But surgery for Chris Rodriguez, a possible Jones fracture in the foot is a near death sentence, in my opinion, for running back.
36:56And that running back room was left thin. Laquin Allen, Basial Tootin in line for a lot of the reps right now.
37:03There have been a couple of reports that they might be looking for help at the running back position.
37:08But ADP is often slow to react. And they're a little iffy on a player.
37:13If you look at the ADP by month that I have here from 121, it climbed up to 85.2.
37:19Now it's hovering in around 85.9. I imagine the news of Chris Rodriguez is going to change some things.
37:25So I want to be early, as early as I can be, on somebody like Basial Tootin, who know he can catch
37:32the ball, didn't really get to show it a lot last year, had some pretty decent games here as a rookie in
37:38a mixed backfield with somebody who's an experienced veteran.
37:41He got banged up a couple of times. Kind of felt like every time he really got ramped up, he got hurt, which kind of sucks.
37:49But when you look at the draft position for Basial Tootin, he's not going to tank your team outright here at the 807.
37:56I'm willing to draft him at this price. I think you're going to see this price move up.
38:02The 80th pick overall, RB25. I think the upside in this offense, if they don't bring somebody in, I'm not expecting them
38:08to bring in somebody that's really going to push the line.
38:12I mean, their big acquisition already was Chris Rodriguez, who, if nothing else, was kind of just a thorn in the side
38:19of Ja'Cory Kroski-Meritt last year and was in line to be a thorn in the side of Basial Tootin this year.
38:25So I like Basial Tootin here in the eighth round.
38:28There's obviously not a lot of data for him.
38:31There's not a lot of things that really back him up.
38:34Definitely more of a vibes play. But second-year player, you want to chase upside.
38:39Looking at the players that go around him, Michael Wilson, right?
38:42Daniel Jones, Alec Pierce. Just not really players that excite me too much.
38:46You get somebody like Jadarian Price around earlier. I think the upside is about the same for me.
38:52One's a first-round pick, one's not. I love the upside of Tootin as an explosive running back, type of thing that you need.
38:59I'm willing to draft him ahead of this RB25, this 807 slot right here.
39:03I know, Buck, you've been against it. Everyone's too toot for Tootin until it's time to trade trade.
39:08But we're not talking about trades. We're talking about a draft pick.
39:12He is a perfect late-to-middle-round pick, in my opinion, a pick that is not really going to sink you at all if you make this type of selection.
39:21Yeah, I think at his current cost, I'm fine with the 807, especially with the way I build.
39:26Like in the eighth round, I probably have all my receivers, my QBs, so I'll be looking to take a shot at
39:33either a onesie position, like tight end, or one of my RB spots, which would likely be my RB1.
39:39Maybe I'll have an RB by then, usually not.
39:42In general, just not someone I like as much, just because of Silla Day 3 RB.
39:47I know people try to change it a little bit because he was in the top of the fourth round or something.
39:53Has had a pretty good run out here recently, but the coach speak has been on and off.
39:59So has everything with the Jacksonville Jaguars, just in general.
40:02For some reason, more than any other team, it feels like this year, we get reports about the Jags, what they want
40:09to do with their players from outside sources. All the Hunter stuff, and it never came from anyone inside the building about Travis Hunter.
40:16It was always from Cameron Wolfe or from someone on NFL Network or Chad Ochocinco on his podcast talking about it.
40:23It was so strange. We never see it with any other team.
40:26I feel like it's also kind of happened with Tootin a little bit.
40:30I want to hear me and Cohen talk about him.
40:33I want to hear him actually speak about it.
40:36But as long as they don't add anyone, which of significance is right now, it's like Alvin Kamara would pretty much be the only guy.
40:44And he's probably – Alvin Kamara going to the Jags would probably be the best thing for Tootin because we get to
40:51bet against an old guy that signed late in camp and it would just be a better off, more likely wanting to bet on him.
40:58He's going to get more steam. It'll probably be a six-round pick and it'll probably be a dead zone RB in seasonal.
41:05But right now I think it's fine. And I just do worry about him a little bit just based on what we've
41:12seen with day three RBs and possibly not be a – he might get replaced next year, but that's next year.
41:18We don't have to worry about that right now.
41:21But I think it's fine right now at the 8-7 for sure.
41:25I think this is a very Chase Brown type of call.
41:28I think good offense, explosive player, day three pick.
41:31Can definitely see him having a breakout Chase Brown season.
41:34Not calling for it, but I think, again, very much worth a shot.
41:38Definitely a kind of situation that I compare it to.
41:41I like the shot. I took it on Chase Brown.
41:44I'm willing to take it here on Basial Tootin.
41:47Buck, the next player you have on this list is a bit controversial for some, but not really for you.
41:53You're buying in a little bit more and more.
41:56I am not. I'm definitely more willing to take the other wide receivers in the room, but I am anxious to hear
42:03what you have to say for Brian Thomas Jr.
42:05Yeah, so this is a new one for me.
42:08I've always said I will keep my options open.
42:11I'll – new information and I'll change my opinion that I had previously.
42:15I'm not going to stick to a certain player take and never move and just be – regressively have that take because I want to prove a point.
42:24I said early in the offseason that I was out on every year three wide receiver outside of Malik Nabors pretty much.
42:30I didn't want to take the shot on Lad.
42:33I didn't want to take the shot on BTJ, Rome, because I just didn't know what you get when you win with
42:40a player like that because they were already expensive.
42:43And they just had – it's like why draft Lad when I can just draft someone that was just good a year ago?
42:50Why do the Lad thing? Because it becomes like when a player has such high ADP and they fall a little bit,
42:56but they don't fall all the way yet. Even like early in the offseason, Brian Thomas is like a fourth-round pick and
43:03it's like it seems good because he was just in the first round, but then you wait, wait, and he settles.
43:10Now he's in the fifth wide receiver 25. I've just – like I said, this is all in the last week of
43:16me kind of getting into the Brian Thomas thing, and I would like to kind of do some trades for him and draft him a little.
43:24So because of just reading about how he's talked about being at training camp, what they've said about him, and his rookie
43:31season, obviously we don't have to, you know, talk about it for 20 minutes.
43:36Everyone knows about it. But he was absolutely devastating on deep downfield routes, especially on deep go balls.
43:41Like they were doubling him. Like he looked like – dude looked like Justin Jefferson.
43:46Like he was incredible as a rookie. Like not just the box scores.
43:50Like it was – I don't know. You would look over there and it's like, oh, he's about to run a go.
43:56Like the defense was like legitimately like scared as hell of him.
44:00And then this year just was not the same guy.
44:03And he just recently talked about how he is like finally able to run fully, couldn't run.
44:08You know, he had the ankle thing. He had a hamstring thing.
44:12And he was like fighting through it, which again will also kind of go with some – like a little bit of
44:19hypocrite on me because I talk about Ibuka. Like if you're out there, you're either healthy or you're not.
44:25You're either playing or you're not. And Ibuka was playing and everyone wants to use like his terrible second half of the year based on his injury.
44:33And I kind of am on the other side of that because like the Ibuka went from – in the beginning of
44:40the season, he was, you know, one of the best receivers in the league to legitimately by every single metric, he was
44:47the worst player in like this sport. That is almost – like he was that bad.
44:52And to me it's like if you're that bad or you're actively hurting your team, you probably shouldn't be out there.
44:58I know things are different. I know they play – like I understand all that.
45:03But with Thomas, it's like hearing him talk and then it really just – it starts to make a lot of sense.
45:09He said he couldn't open up. He couldn't run all the way.
45:13This was like the greatest rookie season of all time with like the best – like he was like the best player as a rookie on go routes.
45:22And then the next year he was like one of the worst in the league.
45:26It just doesn't add up. So I'm at the point now where I'm like maybe this is a generational buying opportunity.
45:33We just buy this at Wider Super 25. And maybe he comes back to the rookie season.
45:38If not, he'll be going into year four at 20, 24, and he'll probably still be somewhere in the sixth, seventh round and you don't lose too much.
45:47But this is like a legitimate – like not a what do you win if you win.
45:52If you win, you get a second-round player again in the fifth round.
45:56And I just don't want to throw away – I just don't want to fully throw away that rookie season because it was incredible.
46:03It was different to Ladd to me because we could sit here and we could pick a bunch of holes into Ladd's
46:10rookie season that we could find and we could say it was a little fraudulent.
46:15He did it from the slot, a little different.
46:17There was like nothing fraudulent at all with Brian Thomas outside of the fact that a lot of his stuff came with
46:24Mac Jones at the end of the year. But all his rate stuff, like his target share, his yards for outrun, all
46:31that stuff was the same with Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence was a worse quarterback a year ago.
46:36He hasn't got – Brian Thomas hasn't been good since Trevor Lawrence has been good, which was last year.
46:42Trevor Lawrence was not good two years ago and then got injured and he played with Mac Jones.
46:48Like that is what it is. The talents haven't lined up yet together.
46:52And maybe they won't. But if Thomas could get back – if he gets back and we look a year from now,
46:58we're like, man, we just let this go in the sixth round, in the fifth, sixth round, and he just is who we thought he was.
47:06Because again, we've seen flukes. We've seen one-year wonders.
47:09We've seen in every sport. You don't have that rookie season if you're not that boy.
47:14Like if you're not really like that, you just don't do that.
47:18And it was different than like a Juju Smith-Schuster rookie season or second year who was really good and then fell off.
47:24He had Antonio Brown next to him. He was a slot merchant.
47:28This was just like winning on massive big boy routes as the only player in his offense as a first-round receiver and
47:35just broke every single record and looked like a top-five player in the sport and then to one of the worst.
47:41It doesn't make sense to me. So I'm in on taking the shot.
47:45Like I said, I was definitely not in on it.
47:48And now I am. Like if you could move the Roams, even like Ladd probably gets something on top.
47:54That's what I'd be looking for. Maybe with like the A.J.
47:58Brown news, you could move A.J. Brown into Brian Thomas, which I think would be really good even if it doesn't hit.
48:04Like you're moving a player that's six years older that this is the last chance to get out of A.J.
48:11Brown that you can maybe get into Brian Thomas.
48:13That's something I'd be looking at doing. Again, not like fully in, but definitely not out.
48:18And definitely like a lot of the stuff I said early in the offseason, is now I kind of want to walk
48:25it back a little bit, especially at the current costs.
48:28Yeah, we're talking about a player that's moved from, you know, 55.6 in January, all the way down to 68.5 and nothing has really changed.
48:36So that's definitely a signal for us to want to buy.
48:39And Gladstone said just on the 11th of June, he has committed himself to the process.
48:44The connection between him and Trevor Lawrence continues to grow and blossom.
48:48He has certainly given the energy in the right spots and it's showing up already in a really good way.
48:54Like that's the type of coach speak one here for somebody like facial toot and who we talked about.
49:00We're getting it with Brian Thomas, Jr. You're hearing a lot about Parker Washington and Brian Thomas, Jr.
49:05Not a whole lot about Jacoby Myers. And they're being very coy about Travis Hunter.
49:10So with the information we have, I'm willing to take a shot on somebody like Brian Thomas, Jr.
49:16At least a good half round to a round ahead of where he's going right now in drafts, which is here at the 608.
49:23I think you're right. I think you nailed it.
49:26We have the opportunity for a true legitimate bounce back round two type pick.
49:30I like it. Let's dive a little bit deeper on the ADP board than we were previously, Buck.
49:36I am all the way in on a Terry McLaurin wide receiver one season.
49:40And he, these are the type of players that give me the confidence in drafting a Brian Thomas, Jr.
49:46a little bit higher than other people, because we have a legitimate top 12 season here.
49:51In the making, with Terry McLaurin at the 10-2.
49:53He, two years ago, goes out, has a phenomenal season.
49:56Then we see what happens with most veteran wide receivers who hold out for a contract.
50:01Very slow start of the year. The coach speak has just been on, we need to get Terry McLaurin the ball as much as possible.
50:09We are going to feed Terry McLaurin the ball as much as possible.
50:13Jaden Daniels looks incredibly healthy so far here, which he needs.
50:16Backups last year, well, they're backups for a reason.
50:19They weren't really doing him any favors. 9.5 points per game last year for Terry McLaurin.
50:24But I don't think that's truly indicative of his talent.
50:27Now we're seeing a spike. ADP is slowly starting to catch up, but I don't think he's going to settle in somewhere.
50:34That scares me off of him. I'm willing to go into the ninth round.
50:38I think depending on the team build and the way their boards, I'm willing to reach a little bit into that late
50:45eighth round here as he's currently the 91st player on the board.
50:49Wide receiver 40 is just way too low for somebody like Terry McLaurin.
50:53He is going to outproduce that ADP. I'm not as big a believer in the rookies.
50:58I'm not as big a believer in the year three breakouts for this year.
51:02So while other people are chasing upside, I'm chasing Terry McLaurin.
51:05I don't really want to leave my drafts without him.
51:08I think he gets more expensive when you get into trades for him because teams know the points that they have on their roster.
51:16They don't want to give up those points on the roster.
51:19But in a startup, points are there for the taking, especially in these rounds.
51:24And these eight, nine, 10, all the way to the 12th round, that's where a lot of championships are won, in my opinion, when doing startups.
51:32So the trend is upward for Terry McLaurin. The coach speak is upward for Terry McLaurin.
51:36The situation is trending up for Terry McLaurin. They didn't really bring somebody in.
51:41Now, there might be pause. What about Ayuk? I think Ayuk is done.
51:45I think Ayuk is, he is not somebody I don't think NFL teams are really going to want to have to deal with.
51:52Maybe they bring in someone like Stefan Diggs, who's was kind of still good.
51:56Definitely looking a little bit more washed. I don't think that has the negative impact on Terry McLaurin.
52:02And yes, this is dynasty. This isn't redraft. Terry McLaurin is the type of player, in my opinion, that's going to give
52:08you one, two, even three years of this upper tier production.
52:12We're looking for that next aging point guy like we have had with Devontae Adams.
52:16You can get him in Terry McLaurin. Round's cheaper.
52:19You're probably going to have to take him earlier as the trend is going up, but I'm willing to do so.
52:26Terry McLaurin is must roster. Don't want to leave my drafts without him.
52:30Buck, even later than Terry McLaurin, the next player you're going to talk about here is kind of a controversial one taken out by his own teammate.
52:385'11", 165, not a big hulking type player, but Eric Biennemi coming back to the Chiefs makes Xavier Worthy a little bit more palpable for you?
52:46Yeah, I'm interested for sure. He's possibly not very good, which was probably the number one thing you look at when drafting
52:53a player is you would like him to be good.
52:56This is probably one that isn't very good, but he has gotten a really, he's had a very odd start to his career over two years, right?
53:04He comes in as a rookie, you know, didn't like, he seemed to like kind of learn the playbook a little, took him a little longer than normal.
53:13He missed by inches, like a couple plays in the home.
53:16Some of them were on, you know, sideline awareness with Xavier Worthy, which is like common, right?
53:21Garrett Wilson's one of the best receivers in the league.
53:24He still, you know, struggles with like sideline awareness and things like that.
53:28That's like the weakest part of his game. You know, maybe it won't ever come for Worthy.
53:34That just is what it is, right? Not everyone's super technical like Devante Adams, just kind of is what it is.
53:40But with Worthy, he missed on a couple. A couple were his fault.
53:44A couple were truly Mahomes' fault. The one thing with Mahomes over the last couple of years, he's been just not been a good deep ball thrower.
53:52And he, like he's lost the deep ball and people like, I don't know why a lot of people can't really understand
53:59why, but he's just completely lost the deep ball over the last couple of years.
54:04And he's had some, even a Taequann Thornton who, if any, if we're talking about where they probably should maybe be talking about Taequann Thornton.
54:12He had chances at games last year. He had chances like to have like three catches, one 50 and three.
54:18I remember a specific game, I think it was against the Broncos and Mahomes just completely missed them every single time.
54:24Like not even close. The guy's running open every single time, which is weird for, you know, for Mahomes.
54:30And maybe that will come back obviously, you know, coming off the ACL.
54:34But again, I say all that to say what Worthy is.
54:37He missed that his rookie year. He hits on three of those plays.
54:41His ADP flips, you know, from a rookie. He has the amazing Super Bowl.
54:46A lot of it's in garbage time, obviously, you know, coming back against the Eagles, but hasn't a crazy game.
54:52And then last year we got all the stuff with him last year.
54:56All the coaches speak about how they want to use him, how they plan their offense around him.
55:01He had that little runway without Rasheed Rice for the first couple of weeks.
55:06And it's like, man, he can really, you know, take the reins of Yadisira for the Chiefs.
55:11He's going to get four weeks without Rasheed Rice.
55:14I can't remember if it was four or six.
55:17He's going to get a couple of weeks without Rasheed Rice, come back, and then maybe the gadget Rasheed Rice offense will
55:23be gone by the time Rasheed Rice gets back if Worthy hits.
55:27Obviously, he comes out first game. He gets taken out by his own teammate in, I think it was Brazil, against the Eagles.
55:34And we don't see him until Worthy gets back, or until Rasheed Rice gets back.
55:39But the most important thing I take away from that game is what happened after he gets hurt.
55:44After he gets hurt, Hollywood Brown comes in and runs the Xavier Worthy routes, and he catches 10 balls in that game for like 60 yards.
55:52It's absolutely cooked. But they ran their offense that they had planned for Worthy in that game because it was mid-game already.
55:59They had to do it. And they ran it to Hollywood Brown, and he caught, I think it was 10 or 11 passes.
56:06And that was the Worthy offense. Like, there was a chance that Worthy doesn't get hurt.
56:11He catches 10 balls in that game. He just holds that role for four weeks.
56:16And we look at him completely different. He just never really got to have it.
56:20Now, again, he gets another kind of like mulligan, I guess you can call it.
56:25Rasheed Rice is out of the picture again, at least for a while with training camp, OTAs and everything.
56:31Worthy's here, healthy. Mahomes is playing. Mahomes is at OTAs throwing.
56:34He's running as a wide receiver one again. He gets a runway again.
56:38Who knows what's going to happen with Rasheed Rice by the time we get to week one where he'll even be, you know, whatever.
56:45We have no idea. But what if they just go back to that offense they had planned week one?
56:51Because I truly believe last year they had the Xavier Worthy offense planned.
56:55And we saw it with Hollywood Brown. Hollywood Brown does it, and he looked so cooked that as soon as the next
57:02week they go back to the, you know, the wash Travis Kelsey Rasheed Rice offense after that for the rest of the
57:09year because, you know, they lose their guy. So I'm in on it, you know, take one more shot in the 11th
57:16round, you know, former first round pick on the Chiefs.
57:19Obviously, we've done this with Nicole Hardman. We've done this with other players.
57:23But when we talk about how much, you know, how pushed up, you know, first round, former first round receivers are, young
57:29receivers, like Xavier Worthy's one that just hasn't really gotten pushed back.
57:33You're in dart throw range picking him. You know, in the 11th round, you're picking him over, like, the guys in his
57:40range are like Michael Pittman, who's on a new team and pretty old.
57:44Like, maybe he'll be a points guy. Just like, there's just nothing really here.
57:48Nick Singleton, who we love, but he's a, you know, a fifth round RB, possibly starting the year as the RB3 on a depth chart.
57:56Like, just give me the shot at Worthy on that offense with Mahomes coming back.
58:01I'm always going to bet on Mahomes. I've said that.
58:04I'm always going to bet on Mahomes every single year until he's 50 years old.
58:08I don't care. Because one of these years, he's going to come back.
58:12He's going to throw 50 touchdowns and win the MVP.
58:15And I'm going to keep betting on it until it happens.
58:19And it looked like it was maybe going to happen in the beginning of last year.
58:24And then everything kind of, you know, the wheels kind of fell off with that.
58:28But again, Worthy is not a guy that I'm sitting here, you know, that I'm sitting here, you know, pounding the table for.
58:35But I'm interested. And I think if you're still have Ricky drafts going on, you could send a lead first for him.
58:42Like, those picks suck. I'd rather just take the shot on him.
58:46So I think he's still very available. And I would just give it one last shot, I think.
58:51I think it's interesting that BNME being back. BNME being back changes a lot of things for me.
58:57I know that it is still Andy Reid calling the offense.
59:00But BNME, I think coming back, might maybe see a shift back to the high explosive offense.
59:05And they can't really do that without their most explosive player.
59:09When you listen to some of the coach speak to from Andy Reid, Xavier Worthy really had had a nice camp.
59:15Strong. He looks stronger. That's the part that you like.
59:18You really see it. We put him in a lot of the primary positions.
59:23And I thought he did a really nice job with all of it.
59:27There's an opportunity here for some really big explosive plays.
59:30In the 11th round, he's not killing you. At worst, it's like Gabe Davis of a couple years ago, right?
59:36You run so many routes with that quarterback and that offense.
59:39Like, you're bound to fall into a couple good games.
59:42Happened with Gabe Davis, who had obviously the crazy playoff game.
59:46And we knew he's not very good. He doesn't earn targets.
59:49But that got him into the fourth round of redraft the next year and got him into a legitimate dynasty asset.
59:56Just because when you're... Xavier Worthy at the worst is going to probably play 90% of the snaps as long as he doesn't get hurt.
60:03He is a starting receiver on the Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes.
60:07And just by being out there, just getting an A on the group project without doing anything, he's going to fall into
60:13a couple 20-point games, just how it goes. And even just by doing that, he could jump up three rounds in ADP, just based off of that.
60:22Like, again, Gabe Davis is a perfect comp. And Worthy, I do believe, is more talented than Gabe Davis.
60:28It does feel so long ago, but people were drafting Gabe Davis in the seventh round of a dynasty startup three years ago.
60:35Man, time flies really fast. And you're right. Xavier Worthy is just kind of a forgotten asset.
60:40Keep trade cut wide receiver 51. I mean, he is definitely more of a forgotten asset.
60:45We haven't made ADP at wide receiver 51. That tracks 100%.
60:48I like it. I actually do like the call here.
60:51You can definitely pick him up as a flyer.
60:54I don't mind. But I'm very happy that my guy, Ramondre Stevenson, he goes after him because I wouldn't be taking worthy over Ramondre personally.

61:29Buck, I want to dive into a player that has switched teams this offseason and not enough people are very excited about him, in my opinion.
61:37Very much have an opportunity for a legit wide receiver one-esque season out of Jalen Waddle in Denver.
61:43I love him with this fit. The Bo-Nicks stuff, look, whether you like him or you don't, Sean Payton gets the most out of his quarterbacks.
61:51And I feel like they've been trying to fill this role with Jalen Waddle for years with Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin
61:57and some of the other speed-type wide receivers. Now they have an NFL veteran who, yes, gets banged up a little bit,
62:04but goes into a much better offensive environment. And ADP just, it doesn't feel like it's catching up.
62:10Through May, we don't have a full month here, obviously in June, but through May, we're talking about the 79.3 pick off the board.
62:17Wide receiver 29. He is being drafted like a wide receiver three and he is wide receiver one type upside.
62:23I have been tweeting about this over on Twitter.
62:26I said, I just want to roster as much as I can.
62:30This feels like the first time since he's been in the league that I've really been into him.
62:35And it, it truly is. And I think an explosive offense with a very live arm at quarterback, not something he's really experienced in his career in Miami.
62:44We've also seen him be used as the deep threat guy.
62:47We've seen him be hyper used as the hyper targeted guy.
62:51I also think scheme really matters in this scenario.
62:53Again, as I, as I tweeted about this graphic, the Broncos running 30.1% play action, the NFL average being in and around
63:0027% with play action, 4.17 yards per out run.
63:03That's massive fantasy points versus the expected is a plus 20.8 with play action, massive target share bump, 4.8% doubles his first downs per out run.
63:11I mean, I am buying. I think that this is the direction and the idea that Sean Payton had for Jalen Waddle when acquiring them.
63:19It's great against zone Waddle, uh, sorry, Sutton aging out very quickly looked absolutely washed in portions last year, struggling to get open.
63:26I love Waddle. I love the fit. Everything about it screams by to me.
63:30And you're telling me that I can get Jalen Waddle in and around the 710.
63:35This is a, this is a sixth, even fifth round pick in most years.
63:39But like you mentioned, the, the rise of chasing the insane upside.
63:43I mean, I would, I prefer Jalen Waddle over Cam Ward.
63:46I would prefer him over a Kim Scadabo. I would prefer him over a Kenyan Sadiq.
63:51Uh, you're getting the production in my opinion, what I am projecting.
63:55You're getting the type of production that people are hoping to get out of Marvin Harrison Jr.
64:00This year. I love Jalen Waddle. I think he's a smash fit.
64:04I think he's a smash play. There's injury risk, but we don't play this game scared.
64:09We play this game for upside. Waddle has insane upside in the seventh round.
64:13I'm just flat out buying. I'm drafting. I'm doing whatever I had, whatever I can to get him on my rosters right now.
64:20Yeah. I'm with you on all that. I think Waddle has always been in that group of wide receiver twos on their
64:27own team that we had to kind of put as a dynasty wide receiver one by default Smitty T Higgins, Jalen Waddle
64:33and Waddle has always been the better one. Uh, just pure metric wise.
64:37He's always been the best of the three and the other three, just unfortunate.
64:42The other two, unfortunately won't really get a shot to be in their prime and a voluminous pass offense.
64:48We'll see Smitty this year. We'll get a chance to be by himself, but not in a great pass offense.
64:54T Higgins, as long as he's playing and he's good, he'll be with Jamar Chase.
64:58So we'll never see them. We get to see, you know, Jalen Waddle change teams at 27.
65:04I still, you know, I worry a little bit about the different teams.
65:08We have seen in the, in the future, I mean the future in the, in the, in the past that it hasn't
65:14really mattered as much as it used to. It used to be like the death and all for receivers when they change in their prime.
65:22That hasn't really been a thing anymore. A lot of offenses, I don't want to say a lot of offenses are the
65:29same, but they're just easier to pick up than they used to be.
65:33And he's playing in a similar situation with Sean Payton, you know?
65:37So I do, I think he has a shot to really break out again.
65:41He's another guy that we talk about that even if he does break out, probably won't gain much in dynasty value.
65:47He'll be a little bit harder to get in a trade as far as a startup probably won't gain that much just
65:54based on age and just based on how people play anymore.
65:57But I think he has a chance, you know, this is the, you know, this is it for him.
66:03It's great. If he went, if he was in Miami this season, we'd be looking at a dead asset.
66:09So we get it like almost get like a new player in the pool and a shot at something.
66:15And, you know, Sebo nicks with his first like legitimate weapon because he's had, you know, he's had the de facto wide
66:22receiver one Sutton who is just better off being the wide receiver two that runs the deep routes, you know, plays like that.
66:29So no, I agree. I think he has a shot to break out again, I guess, again, because I guess he kind of already did break out.
66:37He did break out and got left. He got left behind a little bit peaking in 2023 in his ADP.
66:43But one of the, another big reason that I love him here.
66:47Look, we talk a lot about there's coach speak flying around here and there and everywhere when the coach speak lines up
66:54with everything else, like the data and what we see on tape.
66:57Granted, we're not hashtag film bros. If you would, we are market players, but here's Davis Webb and his reaction to Waddle
67:04and asks, uh, he's a really good player. I was with Josh Allen going into year three, similar to Bo Nix going into year three.
67:12And we trade for Stefan Diggs. Just seeing the growth from both players.
67:16There are similarities of what has started to happen here.
67:19That doesn't mean it's going to, we've got a long way to go, but man, he's good.
67:24I've enjoyed the person and just watching him work.
67:27He is a blessing to be around. He is a multi, a multiplier.
67:31He is a thermostat. I mean, he's going to get the ball.
67:35He is going to be the one, the most explosive player.
67:38And we are getting a team's de facto wide receiver one in the seventh round, much like Tara McLaurin.
67:44And you're just getting opportunities with legitimate wide receiver ones.
67:47Whereas a lot of these other options, we're hoping and kind of praying to get the opportunity to have that wide receiver
67:54one targeting wide receiver ones in these rounds. Definitely the way to go should not be a wide receiver three.
68:00And that's Davis Webb, former giant legend. That's right.
68:03The team you don't care about. Buck veterans of the market report are going to know how in you are on T
68:09Higgins, but he's, we're talking about a 27, still 27 feels like he's been in the league for 10 years.
68:16We're talking about a 27 year old wide receiver who absolutely has weak winning wide receiver.
68:21One type upside on a week to week basis on a team that is one of the top scoring teams in football when their quarterback is healthy.
68:29No surprise to most. You're all the way in on your guy T Higgins.
68:33Yeah. There's not things, not many more things I like more than talking about T Higgins.
68:38Maybe the only other thing is like talking about Kenneth Walker, but I can't do that today.
68:43But a T Higgins is turned into a player that people are just like tired of.
68:48It's like the meme. I don't want to play with you anymore.
68:52That's really what it turned into. Like I've tweeted about him a few times and you just get though.
68:58He's just a wide receiver two. He's no, not an upside play.
69:01He doesn't matter. Like, and I think that's like that narrative is incorrect.
69:05Like, yeah, he's a wide receiver two on his team and he'll never be the wide receiver one on this team.
69:12But it doesn't really matter because he still gets, you know, wide receiver one usage.
69:17And, you know, two years ago, 2024, he was, he had 18.5 points per game.
69:21He was a wide receiver six and points per game.
69:24Obviously it's going to come with T Higgins. He's going to miss three games.
69:29He's going to miss three games with a hamstring every year.
69:32It's just what it is. T Higgins, Mike, Mike Evans and AJ Brown.
69:36They're the hamstring boys. They're guaranteed three games missed every year.
69:39At least T Higgins. We get to see if he runs up the hill.
69:44We'll know if we'll play that week. The other guys, we just have to wait until Sunday, but he was wide receiver six in 2024.
69:51And then last year, obviously, you know, rough year with Burrow getting hurt.
69:55He averaged 17.5 points per game. The wide receiver six again in four games and Burrow came back in 2025.
70:01So he has had legitimate chances of being the wide receiver one.
70:05And he's a really talented player. Now you look in like seven years, five years, and you go and look at T
70:12Higgins career and you'd like look at his pro football reference.
70:15It's going to be kind of disappointing. Like it's going to be, you know, it's going to be disappointing because he's not
70:22going to have these monster, you know, counting set seasons.
70:25He's not going to have that many thousand yard years.
70:28Like he is much better than his stats are going to say just because of, you know, the, just basically because of his health.
70:36And that's just what it is. But he can still have massive spike weeks.
70:40He's still very young. He's paid. One of these years, just like talking about betting on Mahomes, one of these years, you
70:47got to eventually bet on Joe Burrow that he's going to stay upright and he's going to have, you know, an amazing season.
70:54And T Higgins is going to be a part of that.
70:57Two years ago, I keep talking about it. T Higgins was like, you know, pacing Jamar Chase at times.
71:03Like it wasn't, it wasn't really just like, you know, he was, wasn't playing second fiddle at all.
71:09And at the end of that year, actually with Jake Browning, he was winning fantasy championships.
71:13He had that Vikings game where he has, I think he scored three touchdowns.
71:18He literally was winning. He was winning weeks. So I'm still in.
71:21He's somehow every year he gets cheaper. He's just like, he's a great pick.
71:26Cause really he, he's giving you a third round production in the sixth round.
71:30And that helps you like, that will help you make a pick like a, like a Tette McMillan who he'll honestly, like
71:37T Higgins will probably outscore next year, at least pace.
71:40And you have to pay three rounds cheaper. So you could pick Tette McMillan in the third, and then you could backfill
71:47him with T Higgins in the sixth and kind of double up on production there.
71:51Get your value. Cause like Tette McMillan at this point is just a value pick.
71:56Like you pick them for his value and then not hopefully you get some production along the way, but it's probably not going to happen this year.
72:04Yeah. Higgins is a guy like, like I said, always be high on always love.
72:09I think one of these years he'll finally play and he'll finally play a full season.
72:14I'll put together. Like he had, he's had seasons where he's paced for 1400 yards.
72:18Like this isn't just some, you know, this isn't some normal wide receiver too.
72:23And like I said, just continues to get cheaper.
72:25He'll be 27 years old this year. So you get him for at least like two to three more years in his
72:32prime before he really starts losing value. He won't lose much value next year.
72:37And he does have a, you know, a name.
72:39So if he has a really good season, I could see him gaining some value as well.
72:45But yeah, I think T Higgins is just like, you could start off, you know, your draft with just like in your
72:51mind, having him in your wide receiver three chair already.
72:54Like you're already, that's kind of like found money at that point to me.
72:59So I think T Higgins is a smash pick like always.
73:02Again, if you're not wanting to make the Brian Thomas Jr.
73:05type decision, you don't want to make the Marvin Harrison Jr.
73:09type decision. Know what you have. T Higgins is know what you have personified.
73:13Only one season. And is when he played just 12 games where he has not scored 200 plus fantasy points in a year.
73:20And that's massive over the course of a season, right?
73:23Only one season. He hasn't hit 14 plus points per game in his career.
73:28He scores points. You know what you have with them.
73:31He's a phenomenal asset. And again, undervalued. It's nice to chase some of that upside.
73:35We've talked about players before chasing upside. You mentioned Brian Thomas Jr.
73:39But there are risks with these types of players.
73:42If you're going to chase that max upside, having players like T Higgins and Terry McLaurin and some of these other guys, it is massive.
73:49It is massive when building a proper roster in Dynasty.
73:53Last wide receiver buck that I'm going to talk about before we move on to the player that we both agreed upon.
73:59The bonus player. If you would. It's our guy Zay Tovin.
74:03Zay Flowers. Of course, keep trade cut has him down at wide receiver 26 or ADP has my wide receiver 25.
74:09Zay Flowers discovered the thing that I have been begging him to discover his entire career running up field after catching the football.
74:16He did that a lot last year. He ended up with the best year of his career while playing with backups, Lamar
74:23and an injured Lamar Jackson, which is always a possibility.
74:26Career high in receptions. Career high in yards. Five receiving touchdowns.
74:29I hopefully, I'm really hoping that number goes up because boy, putting that all together would absolutely smash.
74:35And I'm expecting a massive bounce back season from the Baltimore Ravens.
74:39I love everything we're seeing. And we know that this offense really runs through one primary wide receiver.
74:44He's looking for that massive payday. That is something to pay attention to.
74:48This is probably the most expensive wide receiver that we really have on our list today.
74:53At least one of the top two. He's going to be 26 this season.
74:57Again, looking for that massive, massive payday. 14.3 points per game.
75:01Going to have, well, they're set up to have a much easier schedule seeing as how they missed the playoffs last year.
75:08ADP by year. He's sitting right around where he was last season after a career year.
75:13This is a buy opportunity for me. Again, we're talking about the possibility of your wide receiver room looking like a Drake London.
75:20Take your shot at your fourth round wide receiver.
75:22One of the young guns. A lemon, etc. Right?
75:25Your Chris Alave. There's a possibility of walking out of here with a Drake London, CeeDee Lamb type star with a Chris Alave.
75:32And then running out your flex spots with a T Higgins.
75:36A Zay Flowers. Terry McLaurin. There's a Jalen Waddle.
75:38These are the types of players, in my opinion, that win leagues.
75:42Zay Flowers is one of those guys. Very much a spike week possibility as well.
75:47When you have a quarterback as good as Lamar Jackson is, spike weeks, they're going to happen.
75:52Early in the year, it looks like it was all coming together.
75:5628.1, 14.9. Then the three-point game, 14 points, 12, 14, 12.
75:59He's not really ever going to sink you. Then Lamar Jackson came back, Buck, and 20 points, 15.8, 21, 13.
76:05And then obviously that final absolutely dynamite game against the Steelers, 29.8 points.
76:09With a healthy Lamar Jackson, spike weeks are there for Zay Flowers.
76:13The perfect wide receiver three and flex play in your offense.
76:16I think that he is more dependable type player than, say, a Jameson Williams that kind of goes in the same range.
76:23Though Jameson Williams didn't make the list. He's another example of these players.
76:27This is the type of player that I really want to roster.
76:31They often cost you a first and a little bit more in any trade involving them.
76:36Cheaper to get them in a startup. If you are a wide receiver heavy drafter, leaving a draft with four or five of these players seems impossible.
76:44But you play the board right. And I think you can be set up for long-term and short-term success.
76:50I love Zay Flowers in this spot. I love him at his ADP.
76:54The trend keeps telling me that people are sleeping on him.
76:57They are going to continue. And I'm willing to buy.
77:00We've had through May. He's up. He's definitely moved up.
77:03But he's still not. He's barely at a better spot than his rookie ADP.
77:08So I'm willing. I'm more than willing. I want him.
77:11I want him bad. Yeah, I don't really understand the Zay Flowers stuff and why he didn't move up after his season.
77:18He's always been a guy who's been really good, has had really good peripherals.
77:22And again, just a guy that one of these years is going to really put it together and have a massive year.
77:29He was going to do it last year. He still did at 1,200 yards.
77:33But he just missed time with the Lamar Jackson thing.
77:36I recently drafted him in a startup that I'm in right now.
77:40Actually, above ADP, I got him at the 5'8".
77:42And I started off with Drake May, Drake London, Tett McMillan, Garrett Wilson.
77:46And my wife used to have four Zay Flowers.
77:49So it's very possible. I took him at the 5'8".
77:52Like I said, it's above ADP. Someone, a couple picks after me, though, when I picked him, did want him.
77:58So he was going to go in the late 5th regardless.
78:02So maybe you can use that and say you might have to not wait for that 6th round.
78:07Because there was two people that wanted him in the 5th round.
78:11But yeah, there's like no reason to make the bet on Marv or anything like that.
78:16I mean, just take Zay Flowers. And again, it should be a bounce back season for Lamar.
78:21They didn't add much to the receiver. They added Trackhawk and Switch, you know, Jacoby.
78:26Or not Jacoby. Jacoby Lane. Is that him? Yes.
78:29Jalen Lane's Washington. Jalen Lane. Jalen Lane's Washington. Jacoby Lane is Trackhawk and Switch.
78:33He's the Ravens. They added him and they added Surratt.
78:36So nothing that I think would really hurt Zay Flowers.
78:39First of all, he is like, again, people look at his height and stuff and look how he looks.
78:45No, he's an alpha receiver. Like what he's done, just like Hollywood Brown was in Baltimore, those guys are alpha receivers.
78:51You look at their metrics and what they're doing, 25% target shares and stuff.
78:56You don't just do that by accident. You don't just do that because you're the de facto widest or one off.
79:02And you can really play. I think he could really, really play.
79:06Absolutely. You're taking the shots on guys like Luther Burden.
79:09And having these guys like Zay Flowers, Tee Higgins, and all the guys we mentioned before in this video, in this show,
79:16make it possible to not really feel bad if that pick falls flat.
79:20And they're constantly undervalued in these drafts with everybody chasing.
79:23You can definitely rebuild, trade down, accumulate assets and still compete.
79:26And it's not even the productive struggle that gets thrown around so much.
79:30And it's improper the way that it gets used a lot in drafts.
79:34It's very hard to execute. One of the best ways to execute it, though, is stacking your wide receiver and flex spots
79:41with these explosive wide receiver ones on their team.
79:44Okay, Buck, before we move on to our bonus player, the last player we're going to talk about today here, I do
79:50want to mention I made a mistake. It's not that he's catching up to his rookie ADPs.
79:56Day Flowers is actually catching up to his January ADP.
79:59That's my fault. I caught the mistake, though. Don't worry.
80:02I caught it. You can still tell me how wrong I am in the comments.
80:06But the bonus player that we're going to talk about today is Brees Hall.
80:11Because surprise, surprise, in the least shocking move of the offseason, the Jets kept one of their star players after not trading them for a fourth round pick.
80:19Because good and great players just don't often get to walk for free.
80:23Big payday for Brees Hall. The ADP trend by year, lowest that has ever been for him.
80:29He's not exactly the cheapest option that we're going to talk about today.
80:33His ADP is back on the upswing, but not by much.
80:36And definitely not where it started in this offseason in December and into January.
80:40So 49-5 here on the ADP. The 39th overall player not being drafted as an RB1.
80:45He's RB13. But if you are doing an anchor-style play, I find it hard to believe Brees Hall, who came back after
80:52injury, has his first 1,000-yard rushing season, catches 36 passes in a porous offense, could do any worse than he did.
80:58His points per game, lowest of his career. But he's starting to look explosive again.
81:03All that camp talk about him is that he is healthy.
81:06We're talking about drafting a player after, say, you go quarterback.
81:10You go running wide receiver, wide receiver. Getting Brees Hall as your RB1, you could do way worse than that in a startup draft.
81:17Yeah, it's, again, just like Quintan Jenkins. Not too many times you can get a young running back at this type of value.
81:24He's just 25 years old still. And just a couple years ago, he was the Dynasty RB1.
81:30He was going in the first round of startups.
81:32He was Dynasty RB1. He was up there with Bijan and Gibbs.
81:36And, you know, after his rookie season, it looked like we had another one of those historic RBs that were going to score 20 points.
81:44And then, you know, I remember against the Broncos, obviously, Terry's ACL rookie year.
81:48And it kind of just never really comes back.
81:51He gets the weird, you know, come off the ACL season.
81:54Here's Aaron Rodgers. He gets to pick, you know, Dalvin Cook, who's on his last legs.
81:59And you have to go split with him. And then it's just been tough.
82:03And then last year, he got a chance to play.
82:06And the offense was horrid, especially when most of his time, he played without Garrett Wilson.
82:11Garrett Wilson goes out. So they're playing with, like, Alan Lazard, A.D.
82:15Mitchell, and Reese Hall. And that was it. So I don't think the offense is going to be great, but I think
82:22it's going to be a legitimate offense, at least.
82:25Like, it's going to be a manageable offense. It's going to be decent.
82:29I don't think Geno is as good as he was in Seattle, but I also don't think he's as bad as he was in, I almost say, Oakland.
82:37Shout out to Bay. In Vegas. Like, I don't think that's Geno Smith.
82:41Like, I really don't think he's that bad. I think he's somewhere in the middle, closer to, like, a guy that can get them.
82:49Like, they could – I wouldn't be shocked if they go 10-7, and they're, you know, they're a respectable offense.
82:55And I know there's been talk of, like, three-headed monster with him, Braylon Allen, and Isaiah Davis.
83:00I don't buy it. I don't really care about it.
83:03Like, they might start off the year with Braylon Allen having his role because he usually does, but then he just plays like Braylon Allen.
83:11He loses it anyway. So it's nothing I really care about.
83:14But be able to get, like, kind of locked and loaded every week.
83:18Like, most likely when you're doing, like, seasonal rankings every week, he'll be ranked in the top 12.
83:24To be able to get that for, like, zero RB drafters or hero RB drafters, to get him in the fifth round
83:30and just be able to set it and forget it and just have Brees Hall and not have to worry about RB.
83:37Because for me, I draft Brees Hall on the fifth.
83:40Like, my RB2s are going to be Jalen Warren, you know, Rashad White, all those type of guys.
83:46Like, I'm not going to touch RB again, most likely.
83:49I'm just going to have Brees. He's my anchor, and I'm going to live with it.
83:54Obviously, he has to be a little bit more anchory than he's been in years past, but you don't have to pay that price.
84:01You had to pay a third round pick last year, and he had his best year in the last couple years, and
84:08I had to pay a fifth round pick. Like, searching RB is the hardest thing.
84:13Like, my thing over the last couple years has been I need to find the next Jonathan Taylor.
84:18Who's the next Jonathan Taylor that I can buy that has fallen in price that has a shot to have that really
84:25good season that I could buy cheap? Last year, for me, it was Jonathan Taylor one of my biggest hits.
84:31I was sending all the 27 firsts or 26 firsts for him.
84:35I was, you know, actively trading for him in every single league because I'm like, man, he's going to have this massive season.
84:42I don't think Brees is going to have the season that Jonathan Taylor had, but I think he could have a similar season.
84:49I think he probably is our 2026 Jonathan Taylor if there is one.
84:53The only other guy that really comes to my mind as far as, like, a dynasty RB to buy that could be
85:00the 26 Jonathan Taylor is, like, Saquon Barkley. That's really it.
85:03I think Brees probably is your best bet, and he obviously has, like, lost a little bit of his team.
85:09He's, like, aura because he stayed in the Jets.
85:12Now, we knew he was going to stay on the Jets.
85:15We expected it, but he fell because of that.
85:18I think, like, he's gotten paid, and the offense is more respectable, and I think it's going to be – I think it could be an RB1.
85:26And even if he is the RB10 and he's, like, a weak RB1 for what you got him at and suppose –
85:33like, we're talking specifically in the fact of, like, zero RB drafting or hero RB drafting.
85:38You get an RB10 in the fifth round, like, you're probably going to make it really far.
85:43You're probably going to be one of the best teams in the league.
85:47So, and it's just, like, a safe – it just, like, feels good.
85:51Like, you don't have to sit here and – it's kind of, like, drafting.
85:56He's, like, the Dak of, like, running backs. Like, Dak, you get him as your quarterback too in the fifth round when you wait.
86:03You just feel good having Dak. You don't have to worry about playing the Kylers and the mix and matching the Tua's and, you know, mix and matching.
86:12You know, these RB guys, like, who's going to get you 10 points this week?
86:16Should I play Algier? Like, you get to just finally have a player, and I think it's a really good price.
86:23And especially with how weak the board is. Like, you're not really missing much when you just take the fifth round RB.
86:30Like, you might have to take him over as A Flowers, and that's, like, team build specific.
86:35I did it once. But for the most part, you're taking him over, like, wide receiver twos that don't matter as much.
86:42So, you can get their same production in the ninth.
86:45You can't get – like, there is no Terry McLaurin or running backs in the ninth round.
86:50Like, there is a – like, you can't just take the fifth round, you know, wide receiver and then get Terry McLaurin.
86:57And that score is the same in the ninth.
86:59There is no – you know, there is no Terry McLaurin or RB at the ninth.
87:04So, sometimes it feels good to just pick them and have you a player.
87:09Yeah, every once in a while, you get, like, a Ramondre Stevenson type.
87:13But they're not exactly the same falling off trees.
87:15Like, Chuba Hubbard, there's the questions about Jonathan Brooks.
87:18It's Jalen Warren. It's Blake Korms, a great option, a great buy.
87:22But not Brees Hall or anything close to it.
87:25You're right. Right. Having the opportunity to draft young stud type running backs falling to the fifth.
87:30It's just a great opportunity. So, one of Judkins, one of Brees Hall.
87:34Nine players we talked about. Hopefully, you enjoyed this kind of exercise.
87:38Hopefully, you're enjoying this episode, this video. Obviously, likes, subscribes, all that stuff goes a long way.
87:43Let us know who didn't make the list that you should, whether you are in or out.
87:48Someone that we missed that should have made this list.
87:51That's nine players. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
87:54Thanks for joining us. We're out of here. We'll see you next time.
