Perfecting Our Strategies In A Real Fantasy Draft

Well, tonight I have the honor and the privilege to be doing a real fantasy football draft. And it's not only yes, your boy Zachary Savage on the stream, but we have a guest. And no, it's not just Sammy Stacks. And you guys are kind of bored with it. Was like, "Ah, how much Sammy Stacks can we see on the stream?" Uh, no, we've got a dynamic duo, the Flock League duo, if you will. It is going to be Mr. Sammy Stacks and Danny Lad drafting a team together tonight. Uh, excited to have you boys in here.

If you guys don't know, here's the the lore of what's happening right now. Uh, last year it was me and Danny in the in the toilet bowl represent. Okay. Um, if it wasn't for a Luther Burden drop and pick up, I probably am the one at Denny's. Now, people didn't like the way that Danny, you know, ended the season. So, the punishment is officially that him and Sammy Stacks are sharing a team. That's why tonight they are getting practice in in a real draft. They are drafting from the three spot. It's Danny. It's Sammy. Collectively, they're going to be drafting. Um, and this is a real draft, by the way. Uh, best ball draft with my community members. It is the same settings as the Flock League. It's start 8 PPR, no titan premium. It's not dynasty, nothing like that. One quarterback. Um, but it is best ball, okay? So, there won't be any management in season. Uh, let's go ahead and kick this draft off.

By the way, Jonah, uh, again, we've got the boys drafting at the three spot. I'm drafting at the nine spot. Sammy, Danny, is there any uh have you had any conversations before this about how this should or should not go down?

I mean, tonight, tonight specifically, uh we we haven't talked much. I think we know who we're probably taking at number three, but uh Danny has come on my channel for one uh one live stream a few weeks ago, and uh we were all over the place. I think our first draft, we didn't take a single running back until the sixth round. >> Um >> Wow. So, we we definitely need to brush up on our communication skills uh before we get to uh to the Flock League draft. [laughter] >> That one was uh that was >> Gibbs off the board. That's what we typically see uh at this point of the draft. Uh Sammy, you guys are on the on the board. What are y'all thinking?

>> We are. Yeah, I think I mean Danny Danny and I both have Jamar Chase as our third overall player, so this is going to be a uh an easy pick for us here. >> Expensive CD Lamb, baby. [laughter] Expensive CD Lamb. Zach, as Danny calls them. That's awesome. >> Expensive CD Lamb is incredible, by the way. [laughter] Um, I originally had the five spot. I've drafted so much in the top five this year, I wanted to kind of switch it up. So, I've got the nine spot, which I actually don't prefer if I was picking a spot, but I want to get practice all around the board. Um, to me, do you guys believe there's a top five or do you think there's a top four? Because some people there's a there's a player that's about to come off the board here soon. They don't think he's deserving of being in the same like Chase and Puka tier. You think it's a top four Danny?

>> Yeah. In fact, JSN's not my next rated receiver. If you see on the tab, Sammy has too. [laughter] >> Yeah. Yeah. Danny does Danny does have his his cowboy um his cowboy love ahead of ahead of JSN. I think I think it is it is five. I just >> w with JSN. I agree with all the regression stuff. There's no way he he repeats a 36% target share, but I do think that there's a lot of room in this Seahawks offense for the pass volume to go up. >> Yeah. >> Um I I do still trust trust that that offense. Um based on what he did last year, like we could still see a 30% target share with a little uptick in pass volume. A and I do think that the JSN can still still uh produce and and pay off this cost. Okay, >> for what it's worth, uh just on that topic, it's not that I'm like completely anti-JSN. It's more so of the fact that I'm very pro Aman and CD and McAffrey for that matter, I just the built-in risk because he's an older running back. Like if he didn't have that risk, I think everybody would be valuing as a, you know, top three, top five overall pick. But that's kind of where he ends up when I factor in that risk. With JSN, the fun fact that I always come back to is, >> you know, CD Lamb actually had more expected points per game last year >> and people talk about the role so much and now we're factoring in with Seattle. You're losing a guy like Clint Kubak. Obviously, everything ran Pure, number one EPA offense, one of the best performing offense in the league last year. Like, where did they fall back to the 12th ranked offense in the league? And at that point, Shahed takes a massive step up. Obviously, he got traded for mid-season. They've been talking him up in training camp. Obviously, that deep portion of the field. On top of that too, we saw JSN just how efficient he was working deep. And we know just inherently from Clinkubiaak, that's the one benefits of his system. So, um I think Jason's gonna be good. It's just more so a 17 and a half to 19 point per game projection. Whereas I look at Chase and Puka, can they be legitimate 23 24 point per game guys? That's more so how I view it.

>> Sure. Okay. Um y'all give us a thumbs up if if the audio is okay. I'm not experiencing I'm listening to it in the background. I'm not experiencing any issues, but I am on the clock here at the 109. Amandra and Jonathan Taylor off the board. In my cheat sheet, the best available player is a receiver and Mr. Justin Jefferson. Um, I'll go ahead and draft him at the 109. Now, this is, remember, we had this whole debate, me and Sammy, this is like a month ago or so, about Justin Jefferson and his legitimacy as a first round pick. Uh, this is why I don't like having a pick at like 9 10 11 12 because e even the eight spot to be honest. Like I really hate 8 to 12 this year just simply because I you could convince me of this will sound hyperbolic. It's not. You could convince me of 10 players that you'd like to take in the first round. And and I I would have no problem with it. If you're like, "Zack, you're an idiot for drafting Justin Jefferson." Fair enough. Okay. There's nine other players I probably would have been uh comfortable drafting there. Um, I really like at the back end going double RB to start in in in these drafts as well.

One thing I do want everyone to be aware of tomorrow. I'm very excited about this. Okay. Uh, I have not prepped longer for a video in my entire life. Okay. Uh, truly, it's it's ridiculous. You can ask my wife the amount of time I've spent prepping for tomorrow's video, which is my official strategy video. It's the numbers are through the roof. Um, so I say that because tomorrow the video is out. The strategy video will be out. Uh, if you guys are new here to the channel, this has been the video that you guys have carried like a video has never been carried before in the fantasy space. It's truly insane. Uh, some of the viewership that you guys gave this video in the last couple of years. I think two years ago it was 240. One year ago it was 520. There's ne never at a moment in my entire life did I think I would ever have a piece of content that hit 500,000 views. That video, which is an annual video every year you guys love, will officially be out tomorrow. In fact, less than like 18 hours from now, that video will be out. So, in honor of that video releasing, I want to go ahead and do something special for you guys tonight. I'm going to give away a 2026 season pass membership with the promo code land. If you'd like to enter, all you have to do, step one, like the stream. Step two is to type the code word, which for tonight the code word is strat. All right, str a t. That is the code word for tonight. Again, if you want to enter to win a season pass, if you're already a member on the flock site, I'll give you some vouchers instead. But join the giveaway tonight by simply liking the stream and typing strat into the chat. Make sure your notifications are on, okay? Because I got to be honest with y'all, the more a video performs, and Danny, you got your guys' video does really well every year as well. the the better a video performs annually, the more pressure I feel. And I got to be honest with you, >> Zach, you're [ __ ] yourself right now. You're ready. You're like, you're so scared. >> I have never felt more pressure for a video to perform in my entire life. I'm not going to lie to you guys. Like, >> if it flops, >> you got 24 seconds on the clock, by the way. >> I am on the clock. And I could not have thought of a better start here than Jefferson, Chase Brown. Um, this is easy money in my mind. In fact, this draft this draft feels like this entire room came together collectively beforehand and we're like, how can we piss off Danny the most and it's [laughter] letting CD Lamb fall to the 205 when he's fifth overall player.

>> So, Zach, you mentioned uh 8 through I believe what 18 or so or so. You said this kind of like blends together for you. >> If you look at my cheat sheet, and this isn't updated, I need to update this entirely, but basically like 8 to 19, I'm going to add one more player. We're going to update those rankings tomorrow. Brand new uh fresh rankings for you guys because I'm also adding like my strategy into the cheat sheet so you can follow along with it if you want while you're live drafting. But it's it's 8 to 19 actually Danny. Sorry. So it's that's 11 players deep. >> It's funny you said that. So obviously I mean the the the lowhanging fruit is I do have Lamb kind of in that tier with a Monra with JS. So I do view him more so as like that mid first round asset. Hence why he's my fifth overall player. But once it hits nine, so I have Ash and Genty ranked at nine. I have technically on my rankings, two tiers, but the tier difference is so minimum, you are so minimal that you can say 9 through 19 in of my rankings blend together. And I believe the lowest in that in that area for me is Brock Bowers. And if you told me somebody picked Brock Bowers 202 or 203 off the board this year, I don't think it's outrageous at all.

>> It's really not. No, I completely agree. Um Danny, we are back on the clock. I just quickly say while you guys are while you guys are thinking I I just want to say one quick thing. Sorry. I could not agree with anything more that you have said today, Danny, than than talking about Brock Bowers in that light. I tweeted this out over the weekend. Said three things that don't make sense. The IRS making you calculate what you owe when they already know. Hammoroids not being called Asteroids and why Brock Bowers is not a first round pick. cuz transparently like I don't see how this guy if he's healthy and plays 17 games I don't see how he's not like a 17 plus point per game scorer. Uh so I'm I'm right on board. You you boys now have a minute left. Uh there is Walker London Neighbors Henry off the board. I was curious to see where Neighbors would rise with the latest news.

>> Yeah, this is this is interesting. But what do you guys think? >> We'll talk about it. Yeah, we'll talk about it in a second. I mean Danny, highest by my rankings and highest by your rankings is the man we were just talking about. So, are you good if I rip Brock Bowers here? >> Totally okay with that. And also, um, the context, too, is I just know inherently in this room that go Laughlin will not be making a 10. And I know I can't convince Sammy to take him at the 33. So, this is the perfect alternative for both of us. >> Both [laughter] of those things are correct. I was talking last night on live stream. I was like, I honestly, Danny and I have talked how we think that the 101 and the 102 are the best picks this year. And but I really don't want one of them because I know for a fact Danny's going to be asking me to take Coulson Melvin at the 302 and I'm not going to be able to do it. >> I love the 101 and the 102 until I get to like round two and then I'm like there's tough decisions you have to make. But I I agree the 102 is probably my favorite spot this year. Um by the way on Neighbors, we've got Real Draft ADP on landlags.com. Neighbors has been the 311. We have done nine competitive drafts so far this off seasonason and I think that's the highest he's gone there. What would the 208 be? That would be pick number 20. >> 19. >> Yeah, that I mean that's a stance to take for sure. >> So that is the highest that Neighbors has gone in any competitive draft that Land has done this entire off season. I was curious where >> the news would land him. Uh what do you guys think about him being there at the 208? So I I can go quick. I actually Danny, we're on the clock. Um, really quick. You know what, Danny? There's a running back top of my ranks, top of yours. Jeremiah Love, you want to do it? >> I'm totally okay with it, especially knowing that we're light at running back through the first two rounds. We, you know, have a clear hero wide receiver with Jamar Chase. Let's go. Uh, compliment him. Well, we got our onesie. Maybe we'll see if a running back we like falsa 410. And I think we're well on our way.

>> I really I really like this this start with Malik Neighbors. I moved him up on the news to 30th overall in my rankings. I think that in the middle of the third and that's if I'm drafting today. I I don't think that's where he lands by the time we get to week one probably because I think it'll be more clear on how many games he's missing if any at all. But you can't like say that this news isn't bullish for him. Just the fact that he that he avoids the pup that he will be or the Giants feel that he should be able to participate in drills sooner rather than later. And I mean, we see we saw George KD get put on the the training camp pup, right? So, like >> I think that this is bullish for Neighbors. It means that he's >> he won't be put on the pup to start the season, which means he's definitely not automatically missing four games. >> Yeah, >> he could still miss one guaranteed, by the way. Um I think he could still be placed on the regular season pup. >> But yeah, um >> I'm pretty sure I know >> you can't go on you can't go on regular season pup if you weren't on training camp pup. >> Okay. Can you Sammy in the background double check if that's true? My question was going to be >> um >> I forgot. So double check if that's true. That's [laughter] a great question to ask. >> Uh no, sorry. The question that I was going to ask is if they put him on pup for training camp, would that would there be limitations for what he could do in practice or with the team? That's what I was more interested. Okay. So that's that's why I think it makes sense to not put him on it. He can't he can't do he would have to like work off to the side. >> He wouldn't be able to part like with other with trainers, he wouldn't be able to participate in any of the normal team drills if he was on pup. So, quick um AI search here. Uh no, under the NFL's roster rules, a player must have been on the active/pup list during training camp in order to be eligible for the reserve/pup list at the start of the regular season. So he cannot he if you don't get put on pup to start training camp you cannot be put on pup ever. >> Interesting. I actually didn't even realize that. >> So he's from those >> he's not going to be on the pup. >> He's not going to be on the pup at all. >> Um so that's probably >> I I put him up to to 29th overall is where I put him. Um >> like like he could still easily miss three games where they're just like you know he's not ready yet. It's like Ricky Paw last year never got placed on IR, but he missed like eight games, right? Like those kind of things can happen, but I think it is bullish that he's he's now ineligible to be required to miss the four games.

I want to give a big shout out to Hayden Pinnick here, who's who I I just love comments like this. He says, "I will be a part of the clan before too long. Remember the name Hayden Pinnick. I will be in the Flock League fan in 2027." >> Uh, that's great. Also want to give a shout out to realtor Connor who says, "Your draft guide video popped up on my algo last year when I was first getting into fantasy and I've been watching your content ever since." That's incredible. I appreciate you guys big time. Um, by the way, >> sounds like somebody who lost their league last year. >> You know what's funny is while I did terrible in the Flock League, it was actually my most successful fantasy year like ever. I made the playoffs in like 75% of over 20 30 leagues. >> And were any of those leagues on YouTube or >> And none of the leagues are on YouTube. That's the unfortunate part. Um, okay. Kairen Williams goes to the 308. I thought he was a pretty glaring value. I don't know where you guys stand, >> but for me, like at this point in the board, there's Jacobs, Bree, Javvante. My rankings need to be updated because I did put Bree Hall ahead of Josh Jacobs. Um, >> a good decision >> and I think that's where I'm going to be going here. Uh, this is a great start in my opinion. I mean, some people are going to hate it, but >> to get Jefferson and have two running backs that you can start every week and know that they can finish as the RB1 on any given week, it's I mean, that's a pretty fun start for me. >> That's a fire combo. I can't even lie. >> Bruce Hall is is a guy that I'm really becoming more and more high on. Uh I think I have him at 25 or 26 in my overall rankings. I just think that >> I just think that with the contract, the Jets are going to absolutely feed him. I think they're just I think they're going to absolutely feed him. And and I don't think like the I do not want to hear about. >> Do not tell me about I don't want Do not even open your mouth and say Brilen Allen on this stream. Like, you're instantly getting blocked. Who cares, bro? >> The guy's a The guy's a cone. Isaiah Davis is so much better than that freaking cone, man. [laughter] >> I I I completely agree. And I think that it's going to be like the James Cook effect where they finally, you know, are financially invested into this guy and they feed him. And the Jets, like there's so much stink with the Jets and Aaron Glenn, Smith and Frank Reich. very good O line, but also they don't need to be like some revelation playoff team >> for Bree to to be a good pick. Like they they what if they're just like the 20th best offense in the league? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Better than expectation is all you're asking for. >> Yeah. 100%. 100%. >> And now this is the beginning of all of our downfalls because anytime you're in on a Jets player, it ends terribly. But I do agree like this offense it people are going to look at it at what Gino Smith did last year and they're going to say how can you say Gino Smith is an upgrade. Look it was a bad year. Show me a single person that performed over expectations with the Raiders anyway. Like this offensive line is far better in New York. It's going to be a massive upgrade over what they've had. I think he could even be better than what like Aaron Rogers gave them the year that he played for the offense as a whole. Um, >> for a fantasy from a fantasy perspective, 100%. >> Yeah. >> How can it be an an upgrade when the alternative is [ __ ] Justin Fields? What are we talking about? Like, of course, >> it was the offense was like inoperable last year. >> Uh, and and like you have the offensive line. We We talk all the time like, "Oh, the Jets suck. The Jet the Jets suck. The Browns suck. These offenses are terrible." Well, they also both of those teams just added two >> um like very good prospects as pass catchers. Like that can only help, right? I think that >> I say this all the time, Sammy, but we are like notoriously really bad. I'm putting myself in that bucket. I've gotten better at it a lot in the last couple of years, but we're really bad at projecting offenses from one year to the next, both positively and negatively. It's like if you base all of your, you know, opinion on something based off what happened last year, you're probably never going to win your fantasy league. You know, it's nothing ever translates exactly the way that you think it is. Um, I just want to quickly say Ebuka in the third round. Jonah, who's the commissioner of this league, you're fired. You're no longer allowed to come back because I was hoping he would fall to me in the fourth. Uh, T. Higgins, love the pick in a best format. Javvante at the 312. I don't care what you guys say. You can hate Javonte. I think that's free money. I love the pick. Sammmyy's going to be a hater. I think it's an absolute smash. Uh, I've been a Z guy. Oh my god. I thought I was about to get Josh Jacobs at the 404, boys. [laughter] This is This is crazy to me. This is crazy to me that Josh Jacobs is at the 403. This shouldn't be impossible.

>> Just [laughter] me? >> Yeah, I think it's still some suspension concern, but uh it's an it's a really good value. I think nothing ever happens with these things. I think he's just going to he's going to play. He's going to be good. Um >> Quint Quinn Shaw went in the fifth last year despite the same concerns, you know. >> Yeah. >> Well, I mean, not not every league was [laughter] facing Judkins in the fifth. >> I know I'm joking. Um, I will say, by the way, I have Javvante Williams ranked one spot behind this pick. So, I think this is a perfectly fine pick, by the way. >> Okay. You think he's fine at the 312? Like, Danny, I'd be curious. You're a Cowboys fan. I I put Javvante Williams in like a early third range as far as like that's where you can start drafting him and I'm I'm I'm comfortable with it. I think anywhere like early third if you want to double up on running backs like if Bory at the 209 set the 304, I want to double up on a running back and Javvante is the guy I feel comfortable with. I don't have a problem with that this year. I think he's just as much as we're talking about Bree Hall being fed everything because of the new contract. Well, what if Bree Hall was on the Cowboys offense? And I know Javvantee is not that talented, but I feel like the thesis is not all that different. >> Well, yeah, I like Javvante. The way I currently have it ranked is I have Hall, Smith, Pickkins, Higgins is the top of the third kind of in their own tier. And then 29 through 37, Lovelin, McBride, Z Flowers, um Jaylen Wadd, Malik Neighbors. I have the three running backs in a row with Javvante, Kairen, and Josh Jacobs. And I have Josh Allen round uh rounding out that here. So, if you wanted to say, "Hey, I want to secure my running back position, get my uh third running back in this case for Jonah, not have to worry about the position for the rest of the draft." Like, I think I think that's a total a totally reasonable strategy, especially knowing that in sleeper ADP, five, six turn, you're probably looking at like >> Yeah. >> really really good quality wide receivers maybe. I mean, I can't really uh speak for any names in particular because I don't want to spoil, [music] but I just know that um especially in from experience, that's a nice board.

>> So, so we're on the clock here. >> Huge run, by the way. >> There's big running back run. Um Travis ETN would definitely be somebody we would have considered there uh if he fell. >> There are three wide receivers, Danny, here. Um they're all like the next three wide receivers in my rankings and yours are the same. They're just in a different order. It's Terry Mcccluren, Luther Bird, and Garrett Wilson. >> Because we have Jamar, you want to prioritize the upside. >> I like it. Yeah, let's go Burden. >> Let's go, baby. Uh, not having Coulson on the board makes the pick easier cuz I I don't know if uh if it's just me, but if Burden and Lovelin are both on the board, I have a hard time taking Burden over Lovelin. But if assuming Lovelin is off the board, I am totally okay with taking Burden no matter what at the end of the board. >> I took Mr. in there at the 404. By the way, >> good. Really good pick. >> I uh >> I know we all expect like the best case scenario outcomes when we look at projecting offenses and you know, specifically the Bears are one of those offenses. Um I'm not saying that this is the same scenario. I remember back to like the CJ Strad second season when it was Nico, Tank, Diggs. Um, [music] and ultimately there is going to be someone who is not a league winner from this group. In my opinion, I think they'll all be fine. I think there's potential for multiple league winners. There's potential for a couple people to disappoint you. I went to the polls on YouTube and I just asked you guys. I said, "Which Chicago Bear is most likely to bust in 2026?" And the vast majority of people voted Luther Burton. Now, as like one of the biggest Luther Burton stands you will ever find. Okay. possibly ever. Again, I had this guy ranked ahead of Ted McMillan pre-draft in my Dynasty rookie report. Um, I hate to see this. However, Sammy and I have talked about this before, Danny. I want to hear your thoughts. A Twitter version, cuz we could just go into this for like hours. It seems like every year there's a player that we all love and then there comes to a point where he gets pushed up so far that it's like, you're not cool unless you have him ranked X high, right? Like for example, two months ago being in on Luther Bird was like, "Oh, I'll take him in a sixth round, easy." And people like, "Sixth round? You're going to take him that high?" A month ago was like, "Fifth round for sure." And now it's like fourth. And we're seeing him go in the third round sometimes. Like where is the ADP going to stop? Where's the point where you're like, I can't I my hands are tied. The ADP has pushed me out of being in on a guy cuz I'm getting close. I'm getting close. So he's my 40th ranked player. So I I would argue that probably my limit would be mid fourth. Like if you're taking him in the third, I would just feel like that's kind of ignoring the context that Lovelin was clearly the number one in usage down the stretch. Even though I'm pro- Luther Burden over Rome, there is merit to the fact that Roma Dunce was clearly their number one option at the start of last year. So realistically, the way I always explain it on our channel is I don't think there's any true wrong answer of that group until after the season's done. But I think all of them are calculated uh plays at their current ADP. They're all kind of going to be priced accordingly more so where the pro factors of them are. Like if you're pro burden, you're probably going to be having to take them closer to where you have them uh in your rankings. If you're pro Levelin, you're probably going to have have to take them closer to where you have them in your rankings. Same thing with throw a Dunay cuz there's not just going to be somebody in your league that's like, "Yeah, I want 33.3% of each of these three options." Like, people are going to have to make stances. People are going to have to make decisions. And ultimately, ambiguous rooms like this are easily some of the biggest money makers in fantasy. is yeah, even if two of the three only work out, two of them three working out could very well be the tight end two overall 18 points per game. The wide receiver eight overall, freaking 17 points per game. You know what I mean?

>> It might be interesting to see where we actually all have burden ranked on the website. Um >> while while you while you pull that up, Zach, Danny, we got 35 seconds here. Um >> let's take our boy. Let's take our beloved, I think. >> Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. The other thing like like I do you the the only other thing is I kind of like the hero RB builds that I end up with. Like I would I think Terry McLaren is a much nah. What am I What am I talking about? What am I talking [laughter] about? >> Okay. Toing time, baby. >> Why am I playing around? Get him on the squad. >> I'm surprised he didn't go higher after the week of PR he had from every Twitter account. >> Quote from Liam Cohen. I mean, I was six to midnight. Like, you wouldn't believe. Oh my gosh, dude. >> The amount of tweets I've linked Sammy and and just be like, we got to note this for the draft, >> bro. [laughter] Uh, by the way, on Lu the Burden, it feels like we're all in on him. I mean, you have him at 40, Danny. You're leading the way. I have him at 44, Sammmyy's at 43. It's just the old heads, Domain, who have him at 51 and 55. >> You know what I saw the other day? We were talking about, we were talking about Javvante, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Domain has Javvante ahead of Kenneth Walker. Look, as a Javvante guy, I wouldn't do that, but it's not insane to imagine a range of outcomes where it makes sense in my opinion. >> Here's the thing with Javante. Javante is just Javante is just he's such a dead zone profile. Like I I can't That's my issue with like early second round, which is where or early third round, which is where domain has him ranked, too. >> Yeah. >> It's like there are such better bets, not only at the running back position, like Bree, I don't necessarily agree with that. It's like a similar It's a similar bet because Bree is a talent bet, right, on a offense that we don't super believe in. Devonte Williams is a is a volume bet >> on a good offense, right? I just think that it's >> it's a little thinner. >> It's similar to Kiran, honestly. And Javvante doesn't have the receiving at all. Right. So, >> that's kind of the profile you get at that range of the draft. No, >> that's that's which is why which is why I want to take other players because I don't want that profile. >> I personally I'll just say I don't see how you regret taking Javvante unless he gets injured. Like I can't see a scenario where Javvante starting all year. >> Is James Connory in a better offense? >> Right. Exactly. It's like you're not sure is he going to score 20 points per game? No. Like that's fair. He's not going to do that. He's not like third round JSN who's going to spike in value. But are you going to regret it? I don't see you regretting it unless there's an injury attached to that offense. And one of the reasons I'm like skeptical about CD Lamb is not just George Pickkins, but it's also because I think your defense is actually drastically going to be better this year, Danny, than it was last year. I don't know if the passing volume will be the same. Um, I'm going to draft Jame Williams in a managed league. Would I let him hurt me again? I don't know. But in a baseball league, will I let him hurt me? Absolutely. Uh, >> this this draft from Zach is is absolutely like porn right now. This is ridiculous. [laughter] >> Familyfriendly, which >> Well, of course. Um, I do have to say this though. Um, you're fine with ranking Lamb 17th overall as long as I just hear you say, "Yeah, like the defense can be so good. The Cowboys going to win the Super Bowl." Like, I I will accept 17th overall Lamb as long as that's like the the reasoning. >> I You can rank. See, this is the [laughter] thing. Lamb is right in that tier I mentioned, though. If you want to draft them at 8, Danny, I got no problem with it. It's 8 to 19. 8 to 19 for me. They're all I view them very similarly. Like if someone wants to >> personal feel personal that he's 17, [laughter] >> you can put them as high as you want. I just prefer the way that drafts go uh a little bit is strategy. I prefer to get the double RBs at the back end of the board than, you know, figuring out okay what running back cuz I don't think Jacobs is going to be available in the in this late in the normal league. But I don't even think Ky like in home leagues I don't see people getting Kairen Bree Javvante or Jacobs as late as they went here. I think it's a much more favorable scenario at the back end of the board to see the receivers in rounds three and four than the running backs. That's really like it's some of it is just strategically how I want to see drafts pan out this year or how I expect them to. But you can have Lamb as high as uh as high as eight. I'd be fine with it. But I can see why the 17 number would be daunting for people. Um, man, >> safe to say that you don't agree with uh five overall then? >> I don't agree with five overall, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I know how everything's going to pan out either. >> Uh, truthfully, real quick, is I I thought when you ranked him at 17, you're just like, "How can I make Danny the most mad going into the >> I'm saying it was it was targeted. [laughter] >> It was actually specifically targeted just towards Danny." Um, you just put the double bird at me, you know? I'm not going to lie. I really wanted one of DJ Moore, Brian Thomas, Roma Dunay. Um, was hoping one of them would fall to me. That's fine. I feel great about the running backs that are um kind of the foundations of this team. It's you're going to see a lot of times today when I go to my cheat sheet, the best player available is going to be a quarterback and I'm not going to draft them. You're going to see that a lot of times this uh today. You're going to see that a lot of times in every draft I'm in this year. My highest ranked receiver is Carnell Tate. I feel very comfortable taking a shot on a receiver that like how many years do you get a top five drafted receiver that's available in the sixth round of your fantasy football draft. I I honestly can't think of the last time that was even possible. You boys may remember a better example than I do, but I loved Carnell Tate coming out of college. People thought I was absolutely insane when I even said the word Justin Jefferson when talking about his traits. I love the traits of a Carnell Tate. The lanky strider down the field, the all state safe hands, you know, uh sideline boundary awareness. He is just a very good prospect and I think he's undervalued because people don't like the class in general. Um and you know, we don't know exactly what Cam Ward can be. How could we when last year he was throwing to LA Manor um for the majority of the time as his wide receiver won or Calvin Ridley, the ghost of Calvin Ridley. I'll take Carninal here Danny up with this. This is this is Yeah, >> you're just like, how do I make Danny happy after 17 overall lamb? I'm going to take Coulson Lovelin. I'm going to take Carninal Tate. I'm going to talk about the profile cuz I completely agree with you. You mentioned Jefferson like my comp. I'm like this guy could very well be the next Devonte Adams like in terms of the reliable hands, the ability to separate at all three levels, the ability to fight through contact. He is just a pros pro in terms of polish and you wouldn't expect that from a guy that is 6'3 190 pounds has the strides that he does. Has such little experience cuz that's the other factor too. You would think oh well it's college profile. He didn't have a lot of production. Like yeah it's Ohio [ __ ] state. Give me a break. Like at the end of the day he did have the breakout this year. He posted over three yards per out run. It's not his fault that Ohio State is freaking boat racing teams at halftime and don't have to throw the ball 25 times in the second It's not his fault that he's playing with literally a demigod, >> Jesus incarnated. >> Jeremiah Smith um >> incarnated. >> Yeah, I'm glad you're in on the pick. It was really close for me between Tate and Watson there. By the way, in a managed league, oddly enough, I would have I would have gone Tate as well. In a baseball format, I was probably more interested in like a Watson, but I don't have as much Tate. And I want I want to have more Tate in my profiles this year. I mean, I don't understand why why he's going two rounds after where Tedro McMillan went a year ago. Like >> very similar. >> Yeah. >> Going higher. >> Yeah. >> What I I completely agree. Like I don't I don't think that we felt any better about Bryce Young's ability to support a wide receiver one than we currently do about Cam Ward. Like at least there's no evidence. >> This dumbass right here took uh T in the third round of the of the Flock League last year. Okay. So what's going on? learning. It's like >> even this year though, >> tell me what you feel so much more confident about or not you guys like specifically, but just in general, the market the market is so convinced that Tedro McMillan should be a top 36 to 40 overall pick and Cardinal Tate should be a fringe top 60 pick. I think Tate's the better prospect coming out, went higher in his NFL draft, has higher upside in his projected offense cuz oh by the way, Tech did that all last year with the 27th ranked offense with the Carolina Panthers. I have more faith in Camel. I have more faith in Brian Dball. I think this could be a sneaky top even top 25 unit would be perfectly reasonable for a guy that I think could have 140 plus targets. So, uh, not to talk too much about your pick cuz obviously clearly Tate's not on the board. >> Tell me how smart I am. I want to hear it again. [laughter] >> You're such a genius, bro. >> I actually took T in the fourth now that I think about it. Uh, we won't talk about >> Yeah, it was I think I think you made a really good pick in the third round. >> Third round. I made a great pick. Let's leave it at that. Who do you guys want to draft here? Um, [laughter] so, so Danny, uh, there we we do have some options at quarterback here, but there is a running back >> pushing quarterback one pick because of the turn >> and and you we're on the same board with the running back here or on the same page. >> Absolutely. Jaylen Warren's the best running back pick on the 610. Sign me up. >> Yeah, I like it. >> Um, guess what? Kenny Gainwell leaves. He was a top 12 per game weeks 11 on with a legitimate 78 target per game type of workload. Oh, by the way, he was doing that on eight carries per game. If Jaylen Warren's giving you a 12 to 13 carries and six to eight targets per game, which is very reasonable considering we've seen Aaron Rodgers last year, 68% of his passes went below 10 yards. Like, what are we talking about? Jayen Warren could absolutely feast. >> Talk it up, man. Talk it up. Uh, talk it up. Talk it up.

I appreciate all of y'all who are on the stream hanging out with us. We are doing a real draft with my community members. Sammy and Danny are drafting together at the three spot in case you weren't aware what was happening earlier. Someone asked uh how can I get into a draft like this? Uh so I'll just quickly let you guys know that anybody who becomes a promo code land season pass member. I'm doing two drafts per week. Uh we're about to turn them from best drafts into managed league drafts. So all you have to do just $34 for the entire season. You're going to get my cheat sheet which you keep seeing me use on the stream today. The draft guide. you're going to get uh the ability to enter some leagues. I'll help you on some live streams. Uh so that is the way that you can get into these drafts. And I'm also giving away a season pass membership tonight. I'm giving one away in honor of the fact that tomorrow I will be dropping my annual strategy video. It's the video that blows up hopefully the most every year. Last year you guys put it over 500,000 views. So again, in honor of that video coming out tomorrow and in honor of the season pass, I'm giving one away. All you have to do to enter is simply like the stream and then step two is to type the code word, which tonight the code word is strat. All right, that's as simple as it is to enter. If you're already a member and you win, I'll give you some vouchers um in return. But uh would you guys go war at the 610 >> cash money >> Daniels? I think we're going to Harvey Metaf.

Let me ask you guys one thing before you make this pick. go for it. >> I push quarterbacks in pretty much every draft. There are scenarios where I will go quarterback early, but even though I push it every time I see because I think Daniels and Herz are great values. Sixth, seventh round, right? There's so many great values in the sixth, seventh round. I just feel like I always want to push quarterback, but I always get frustrated at people getting great values, too. You like, do you feel that same dynamic at times, guys, where it's like, nah, I can get any quarterback I want in the back end. And then you see like these elite guys go in the six and you're like, "What the hell, man?" Like, "Why did we let them do that?" And like, "Well, I'm the problem." [laughter] >> I think there's I think there's an important distinction between these drafts and then like what's going to be everybody's like normal home reddraft league. We are going to take Joe Burrow here, stock up our wide receiver for one. I think that I think that in a in a best ball like this, I'm more inclined to do the six, seven turn quarterback because you're you're optimizing for for weekly upside, you know, you're not having

To set a lineup. I think that when if me and Danny got to week one and our wide receiver three in a two wide receiver, two flex league is whoever we grab in the eighth round, we're not going to feel great about that. And that's where I might be like, okay, do we consider a wide receiver in the seventh round? We would end up with like a Kyler Murray or somebody like a Brock Perie in the 10th and feel a lot better about that when you look at that 2v2 in a best ball. I'm less worried about that because we're going to be able to stack six or seven wide receivers on this team and be more comfortable with one of those guys hitting our lineup on a weekly basis when we don't have to actually guess who it is going to be.

Yeah, I think I contributed to Sammy's trauma because we did a standard reddraft mock draft and he was just watching me repeatedly punt quarterback to the next pick and keep getting guys falling. Yeah. Yeah. Like I think it was really at one stream where I'm like I I had a video come out where I was doing mocks from the one two turn or from the from the one and the two spot and I was like this six seven turn for quarterbacks is absolutely ridiculous. Um, like this is what I want to be targeting. And then doing more mocks. I'm like these values are incredible like Zach was saying, but I'm still feeling better when I take a Jaylen Warren in the sixth round and then I get a Trevor Lawrence in the ninth. Like I feel better about that than than what the alternative is of taking the quarterback in the sixth and then whatever running back falls to the ninth round. It's just not as good.

Yeah, it's uh it's it's mental at that point, isn't it? It's mental when you when you go through these uh these diabolical thought processes. Um, by the way, seeing Tate, Tyson, and Lemon all within like five picks of each other is kind of crazy. I don't we don't often see that. Um, but I think it makes a lot of sense when you're shooting for upside in these best ball drafts. Uh, oh yeah, I was hoping that Mike Evans would fall to me instead of Jay Jameson Williams. I'll take Jameson Williams. I won't let him hurt me in a managed league. I'll let him hurt me in a baseball league. Uh, let me ask you guys this. What are the picks in a baseball format that like you can call people out who have who have drafted already? Is there a specific player type, a specific player that you're both like, I there's no way I'm touching this player in baseball? It's just not happening.

Um, in baseball? Yeah. Specific to the format, I don't necessarily think I have too many gripes with the draft board. Obviously, again, like just from a pure raw micro player take perspective, I'm going to have some thoughts on certain teams more than others. But um, in terms of pure structure, like I don't think there's any one build I'm looking at right now thinking, "Oh, this can't work in a best ball."

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm There isn't really any thing I'm completely turned off to in in best ball, honestly. It's more so You know what? Actually, no, I will say like I think one one these play these types of profiles don't often get pushed up the board as much, but it's the late round picks, the flyers. A guy like Travis Hunter comes to mind, you would think theoretically he's better in baseball, right? Because you don't know, you're not going to know when to start him. He's going to pop up in random spots, hit your lineup, whatever. But I actually feel the opposite way. Whereas, if we take him in the 10th round of the Flock League and he plays 12% of snaps week one and he plays 15% of snaps week two, we can drop him and feel fine with that. If we take him in this draft, he we're stuck with him for the whole year. There's no dropping him. There's no waiver wire, none of that kind of stuff. So, I think later round picks that are like complete flyers, those are the type like I might prefer taking like a Khil Shakir who at least I know is going to be on the field and might be averaging like nine points a game as opposed to a guy who could potentially be a zero in like the 10th round.

I I think it's about balancing a team overall. Like if you're going to if you're going to take a hunter archetype like you know we we coined it on the channel just eating your vegetables. It's like if you're going to be taking like a a higher upside, you know, maybe more risk type of pick, balancing it out with a more of an eat your vegetables type of pick at some point of the draft to kind of offset it, I find is the natural balance. Like I mean, for example, like in terms of my portfolio, if I look at some of my highest rostered players, spoiler alert, Hunter uh Hunter is going to be number one on that list. But if I look down at that range and I'm looking at like the eat your vegetables type of players like u Rashad White, I've been getting a lot in drafts right now. he goes off the board like fringe 110 overall give or take on underdog right now. Started the offseason at like 125 which was just way way way too cheap. So uh Rashad White's been a guy like has kind of been my eat your vegetables type of pick. I've been getting a lot of Jaylen Naylor I think ultimately one of those uh Raiders receivers given their cost is going to be a good value at that cost. Um, round 14 round 15 eat your vegetables. He's going to be running routes on this team. It's not a great offense but if he catches a long touchdown he hits your lineup.

Yeah. Um, I went with Parker Washington, the wide receiver one in Jacksonville. Uh, don't know if Sammy wants to have any if Sammy has any opinions on that.

Nah, man. I'm just I I don't I I'm actually now praying that Nate Boracher is like the best tight end of all time so that they just play a ton of 12 and Parker Washington rides the pine. Um, I I don't I don't think it's going to happen necessarily, unfortunately. I I do I I do worry that Brian Thomas Jr. is going to be stuck at X. Um, for people I've become the Brian Thomas Jr. guy over the course of this offseason, Zach, uh, obviously that's much more I would like to note that's much more of a dynasty bet than it is a 2026 bet. Like I'm kind of, you know, I'm I'm barely ahead of market on him in 2026. I I am worried about the the the chance that he just plays X and gets kind of like left out there.

Uh, so I did I did say the wide receiver won facitiously, right? Um, I would bet that on being Brian Thomas. Just I know you know, but not everybody in the comments or who's watching knows the sarcasm or the history or the lore, if you will. I will say Parker is an example of a guy I'm probably more comfortable taking in a baseball format than a managed league because I believe Parker is going to be a great play when the Jags are down in games, they need to come back and they're playing more three wide receiver sets, right? I can't really predict that on a week- toeek basis when I'm planning my start sits. I mean, you can you can look at over ununders, you know, you can make your your best bet, your best prediction, but um, that's the type of profile that I'm probably more willing to kind of bet on there. Also, I am a little bit of a sucker for like looking at the Liam Cohen slot receiver, you know, uh, and what that's been historically. Jonah, I swear, dude, Jonah's fired. Okay, every time I want to draft Rashawn White, I can never draft Rashawn White, dude, because he's always taken before. give up. That's my fault up as an This has been an ongoing feud between me and Jonah. It's not your fault. I promise you. Me and Jonah have been fighting back and forth every draft because he keeps taking my guy.

Um, this is a bit of an eat your vegetables pick, but it's far enough down if we project the Titans to be a better offense. Um, I'm not personally a big Nick Singleton guy. I'm not personally a big Taj Spears guy. Transparently, not a big Toby Pard guy either, but uh, he was far better at the back end of the season last year than the beginning of the season. You expect with Brian Dball stepping in, adding a first round talent like Carell Tate, I expect the offense to be better. And Paul was a fine pick last year if the Titans were even like a top 25 offense. But the fact that they were just so terrible and they never sustained drives meant there was never an opportunity for this guy to score touchdowns. So, um, I am fine taking him at the 804 knowing that there will be three to four weeks where he scores over 16 points. I'm I'm fine with that.

Yeah. Yeah. Uh, early season touches, especially knowing that you're you're weaker in numbers at running back, getting a guy that you can count on to hit the lineup potentially in the first four to six weeks at least. Good value in the eighth round. Obviously, there's still the upside too that what if Singleton is more of a red shirt type of year? What if it's just the Paul and Spear show? And as we've known from that split, it's been, you know, 75 80% polared even though let's just say I haven't been fully convinced these last couple of years that Spears shouldn't have gotten any more work. But it's kind of proven that when Spears does get more work, he just goes down.

For reference, I do think that Singleton is not going to play a very big part. I have him projected for 53 rushing attempts this year. Um, yep. So, yeah, I've got him at 53 attempts and 12 targets. So, I do think he'll be an afterthought in year one. Maybe year two we see something else. Um, I wasn't a huge fan of his profile. I know a lot of people hated me for that on the Dynasty channel, but it's a combination of that and the fact that I feel like the NFL told us what they think about him. Yes. Like, he went in the fifth round and I can talk down on that, but it's not just the fifth round of a normal draft. It was the fifth round of a terrible draft class. That to me is almost like the equivalent of a sixth or a seventh round pick in like a better draft class. Um, so I wouldn't be shocked if he's a nothing burger in year number one.

So let me ask you this question because myself, even you, a lot of people in general have made this comp, right? We saw in 2023 going into 2024, Zack Moss versus Chase Brown. We've kind of made those parallels to Bing Shel Tude and Chris Rodriguez this year. Is Singleton just like next year's Bashel Tude, next year's Chase Brown where it's like Tony Paul was the guy you needed this year. All out what ETN was last year for Bashel Ton, but going into next year is when you're going to want to get Singleton potentially.

What if he I hate it. Let's Let's make this pick real quick before we You know what? It's my stream. Okay, we're going to talk about it and then you'll make a decision to make here.

All right. Uh, we got a We have a decision to make here. Um, Danny, if you can see here, these are I think we we want to go wide receiver here. Yep. These are your next three. You can see on my screen, I think. Um, yeah, I see you. Do you Danny, are you okay if we go Ricky here?

Yeah, let's do it. Um, I'm high enough on rookie as a top 90 player and based off the 810 that's ahead of uh where he's currently going in this. Uh not not that they're similar as players, but Nick Singleton could very well be like I I think he's unlikely to be next year's Bashel Tuton as much he is to be like next year's JCM Jakory Kroski Merritt. Yeah. Or people are like not much has been proven. Maybe they've added someone that's not significant and we're like what could his role be? There's like this complete unknown of of what uh the backfield will look like. Um, because as much as I love Rashad White, I am drafting Rashad White and JCM at cost every time I can. Um, so it's probably more likely

I will say like if Nick Singleton gets to test at the combine, I think he probably gets drafted in like maybe in the third round. I don't know. Maybe. I feel like everyone knew he was a good athlete though. Like I don't think anybody had questions about his athleticism heading into We knew Mike Washington. We knew Mike Washington was a was a good athlete and and he would have been like a seventh round pick if he didn't test like a freak. Like I think that I don't think people like knew much about Mike Washington at all heading into the combine. Like that's what I'm saying. So like but I feel like Nickton's been well known as like a really good athlete since he was a freshman. Yeah, that's right. But the we know that the combine does change things for these teams once they get the actual threshold once they know the numbers. Even though he has McBride, by the way, 91 Leaportage is way too hard to pass up. I not too bad in this format, is it? Um, I'll take I'll take Kyle Pitts over him. Woo! Spicy Danny. That's somebody that I don't think would end up on our team. Honestly, I'm really low on Leaporta. I don't I just like I'm so jilled that I I just can't Well, let me let me ask you, what do you think their point per game split was when Leaporta was on the field last year? But that completely ignores the the context of what happened on the bye week, which we can talk about in a second. Can't wait to see you guys in like the vlog in the room by yourself and chatting through each room, baby.

So, Danny, do you feel I could be talked into Josh Downs here, who is your highest? I'm all the way in on that if you want to make that pick. Yeah. You know what? I need to I need to reconsider. There were talks Shane Stiken with some more quotes about how they want to get him more snaps on the outside. Is that going to work? I don't know. I don't feel great about the Colts offense as a whole, but I think like a guy who who I think is talented, who could be playing in two wide receiver sets for the first time in the ninth round. Evan, uh, Evan says Josh DS over Stefon Diggs is insane. Uh, should I not point out that Stefon Diggs is some pretty big accusations right now? Dude, those are wild. I We should definitely not dive into the specifics of them, but you guys can tell Google yourselves. Oh, you could. It's pretty graphic in terms of how Is there something? Is this Is this new or am I I think it's not new, but it's uh interesting. Let's just say he's swinging in more ways than what I'll say about that.

Um, okay. So, in the ninth round, I like the Blake Corm pick a lot. Um, honestly, I feel like this is a great value for Blake Cororm. You know, if we're playing like upside bets in a best ball format, if Kairen goes down, where do you rank Blake Corm rest of the year? Top 12 probably because not only do you become the starter, but then you're getting all the volume. Uh, whereas Kairen and Cororum could split right now. You guys have no t no idea how tinted I am to take Kyle Pittz right here. I don't think I've drafted him one single time. Do it, dude. It's such a This is such a good value. Do it. Oh, you have Lovelind. I didn't realize you had Lovel. Yeah, I've got Lovelind already. Um, let's look at the cheat sheet. I'm sorting by land leagues ADP right now. Let's see. Sleeper ADP. Um, oh no. There's no way. Not with my guy Jonathan Brooks on the board. Good thing I saw that. We'll take Jonathan Brooks here and a good play. If Kyle Pittz comes back around, he doesn't. That's fine. I' I'd rather go down swinging. I'd rather go down swinging.

Ask Sammy about the conversation we had about Jonathan Brooks today in the DMs. That's another one. That's another one that's going to be difficult. Like he I can't I can't do it, man. I think like end of the ninth round is perfectly fine. I think I have him like just outside my or like one around 115 120 maybe. But just like just having to like close my eyes and pray that this guy who hasn't had 20 carries in a real football game since 2023 is just like it's terrifying. And and like and what was the Zach? Was it Was it you that that said the other day that he No, I don't even think it was I don't know. No, it was No, I was I was on with Davis. Since 2021, Jonathan Brooks has had more than 30 carries in a season one time and his final season at Texas. But that's not Well, I mean, that's not like contextually that's not surprising at all, though. Yeah. No, no. What I'm saying what I'm saying is that I It's a very's like he did started back in front of him. He did have two NFL backs in front of him. No, no, 100%. But I'm saying that there isn't I'm saying that that that is that is very that's five years. So, right. But that's kind of like the same. Look, I don't think it's a great reason to be out. It's the same thing when people are like, "Well, Burton Burton only had this many games as a top 12 receiver or he only scored over 10 points this many times." It's like, yeah, but like it's just simple math, though. Do you know what I mean? Like, yeah, he had Bejon ahead of him. It is in the sense of like how many years has he been healthy in a starter? One. So, it's not surprising. Do you know what I mean? So, okay. If you know the context, I guess it's not surprising to hear, but it's it's definitely it's definitely a it's definitely sticker shock of the fact that this guy has had a bunch of carries one time ever.

So, two things on this. Um, first of all, uh, we had Dr. James, appreciate him, uh, on the channel. He mentioned that 60% of athletes who have torn the same ACL twice get back to pre-injury levels. 60%. So, I'm not as worried. On top of that, there was some apparently the first surgery wasn't ideal. They cleaned it up and perfected it on the second surgery. I forget exactly which doctor said it. I believe it was Dr. Jeff on Twitter if I'm not mistaken. Jeff Mueller, so correct me if I'm wrong, but he tweeted out and he he basically pointed out like the second surgery should be so much firmer in terms of what the first surgery was. And on top of that, it's also just an anti-tuba hover take. Like the guy had zero breakaway runs, 47th of 49 qualifiers in terms of yards after contact per attempt. You're going to mention, oh well, he got hurt injured last year. even prior to the injury, he was ranking a little, uh, very low in both those aspects. And B, uh, shout out Ryan Heath. He tweeted this out. Dave Canalis, historically one of the biggest backfield meritocracies in fantasy. If early in the season, one back looks clearly better than the other. The last two years as a head coach, he's clearly adapted. You look at the design carry rate, Chuba Hubard in the first four weeks of 2024 was low. He showed he was clearly the best back on the field. weeks five on, he was clearly the bellcow in terms of design carry rate. Last year, first four weeks, Rico Dattle was clearly outperforming Chuba Hubard, what happens, Rico D's uh design carry rate goes up. So really what I look at it as is it's going to be an open competition. The only question I have is with Brooks health and if Brooks is healthy, there's no doubt in my mind he is the more talented back than Chuba, right? And based off the history with Dave Canales, I trust him to be able to make that decision on it within the first four or five or four or five weeks of the season. You want to see Chuba.

I'm not saying like I'm not saying that that stat you brought up, Sammy, is like a dumb stat. I'm just saying like if you follow the evidence, it makes sense, you know? So, yeah. And that's not and that's not why I'm, for the record, that's not why I'm anti the Jonathan Brooks price. It's it's it's the fact that not only do I have to trust that he is healthy, which I'm fine doing. I I like, you know, 60% of guys that tear their ACL twice come back. Okay. Sure. Like that's that's that's good. That's good to hear. Injury capacity. That was the Okay. Sure. to to pre to pre-injury capacity is is great. I think that's a good sign. The problem is that I do believe that this team has a decent amount of commitment to to Chuba Hubard. They paid Chuba Hubard in that during that 2024 season where he averaged 16 points per game. They paid him before Jonathan Brooks came back and reto his ACL. So they knew that Brooks was coming back. Still felt the need to lock up Chuba Hubard long term. Rico Dow last year. Chuba got hurt and then Rico played the two worst rush defenses in the entire league. Went crazy. Obviously you can't go back to a heavy Chuba um workload when he does come back from injury. So they split down the stretch. I just don't I don't think that there's enough for me because I believe that Jonathan Brooks will flip Chuba Hubard by the time we get to the end of August. I really do think that that's going to happen. There's going to be enough hype and I can't I can't get there just based on the fact that it feels like such a big bet on the fact that this guy who hasn't played a lot of football is is going.

I guess I just kind of view him as a rookie. Like I understand he's not played a lot of football, but Bejon was there and he's basically a rookie. I mean, he's he is younger than Nicholas Singleton, I think. Or who was it in this class that he's younger than? He's younger than a lot. I believe he hasn't even turned 23 yet if I'm mistaken. So, I definitely get it. But, um, you guys are on the clock.

Yeah. Yeah. Let's make our pick. I feel like this is pretty easy for me, Danny. We both have Xavier Worthy top of our ranks. For me, it's a massive value. So, Yep. Uh, building out with numbers. Obviously, we have our main built in maybe one more build, one more for this build. Uh, just getting guys that can compete for those wide receiver too and flex spots on a weekly basis. I like how we built out numbers. Obviously, we take the upside early with Luther Bird. Maybe he takes that step to be a top 15 receiver and then between Pierol Downs and Worthy. I feel confident that each and every week one of those guys can spike.

Yeah, just worried about the burrow chase stack with with your guys' uh draft there. JCM's a great pick. I was considering drafting him instead of golf, but I wanted to get the golf JO stack before. If this was a a one quarterback league, I wouldn't have to gone quarterback there. But you see in these best drafts, people are going double quarterbacks. I mean, like Tiv going Dak and Brock, you're never going to see that in a one quarterback managed league. The guy who takes Josh out at 306 in your league is probably not taking Mahomes in the 10th. But I just I know how these drafts go. So had to get Jared Goff there.

I do want to say for the record I have I have Jonathan Brooks ranked 98th overall. So I would I would take him ahead of where he went in this draft. Like Okay. It's just I do but there's a lot of steam on him. Like I know like FFPC right now which is high stakes people that are really tapped in. They're t like he's going in like the seventh round. Yeah. And and I do think that he's going to flip Chuba at some point and that's what I'm not quite ready to to get on board with.

So, let me ask you this. Aside from trusting that they'll follow the money in the coaching staff, what does Chuba Hub have on the Brooks? That's the tough one honestly because like you can't really Chuba was injured but you can't point to anything where it's like he played really well last year and it's just got unlucky but it's just tough for me there. Um, Danny, we're on the clock. Yep. There. I mean, I I'm happy to go running back four here with Jordan Mason if you like that. Unless you want to quarterback. We could go QB2 with this guy. We could go with the Prophecy as well, considering both of our highest ranked players. We could go with the I feel like we've just taken three high upside profiles, though. I'm cool with going with Mason. And uh I mean, Zach's probably going to take Hunter out as Jake Ferguson's available. So, didn't pick a good point. Um, Mason or Hunter, I'm cool with either. If you want the running back, I'm cool with it.

Yeah, let's go Jordan Mason here. Yeah, Jordan Mason comes off the board there. That's a great pick. You can sort by land league's ADP, by the way, on the cheat sheet tool. Uh, sometimes ADP is not trustworthy, right? That's why on the tool I let you guys sort by my rankings, the the platform ADP that you're on, whether it be Sleeper, ESPN, and Yahoo, whatever you're on, and land leagues ADP, so you can see in active competitive leagues where guys are being drafted off the board as well. Sometimes that'll help help you kind of make a final decision. But, uh, Jordan Mason was definitely my top ranked running back in the 11th round. I think it's a no-brainer. I'm pretty much sold on taking him over Aaron Jones. Um, and I was a big Jordan Mason guy last year. I feel as if he was in a position to perform really well. The offense was just about as bad as it's ever been in the Kevin Oonnell era. So, this could easily be like a 10 touchdown year for Jordan Mason if they if they turn things around. Minnesota, real quick, Minnesota had six carries inside the five all of last season. That's hilarious. See, that's an awesome stat.

Can I Can I interest you in this year's Javvante Williams? Oh, yes. Jordan Mason, he might might just be, you know, my favorite that would make Aaron Jones, Miles Sanders, and it would make Deont Claybour, and Jaden Blue. Yeah. Which all makes sense at this point in their careers. I don't hate it. I uh my favorite and it's unfortunate because he's now becoming everyone's favorite and he's being drafted too high is Rashad White for that claim. It is Rashad White. Rashad White's the clear one. Just the the Yeah. the the low contract, you know, it it sucks so bad when like I start making content in May and like I remember this must draft video is my first one every year and I talked about Rashad White and at that point he was like a 10th 11th round pick and I'm like guys I've got the sleeper running back for you and basically since that video like he's been featured in every other video that's out there on YouTube and his ADP is you know constantly rising. So, unfortunately, he's probably not going to be some big surprise this year. Um, but I think he's a still only 108 on underdog. Still only 108 on underdog. So, I'm still taking a lot of shares at cost. Yeah, he's going later in in the 108 overall. Okay. Right. Yeah. Yeah. In uh this is this is definitely going to be more more reflective of where he goes in reaffy by the way. Uh, if you guys want to join a draft with me, I'm doing drafts uh twice a week. You can join them by simply becoming a season pass member with the code land. Um, just $34 for the entire season. You get the draft guide, you get the rankings, you get some vouchers to come on the stream and ask me questions during the season. I'll make that the pin comment. I am going to give away a season pass today. But if you are a season pass member, that's how you can get into these land leagues. Um, it gives you premium access to landlags.com. If you become a member, I'll fasttrack you into the next league. Uh, we've got the Rashad Penny League. Rashad Penny league happening on Wednesday night which you can draft with me. Uh, and then we'll do manage leagues here really soon. But we also have real draft ADP which is why I wanted to highlight over there. You can go to Dynasty Fantasy ADP and Rashad White on average is the 802 in these drafts going as high as 77 as low as 93. So the fact that he's still in the hundreds on underdog is awesome because he hasn't lasted to 100 one time in these drafts that we are in. Uh, but by the way, if you want to win a season pass membership tonight, all you have to do is like the stream. That's step one. Step two is to type the code word, which is strat. One of you guys will win a season pass. If you're already a member, I'll give you a voucher instead.

I'm on the clock here. Um, not really a quarterback I love. There's not really a player at any position that I love, actually. So, because it's best, I'm just going to take my best available quarterback. Actually, best ball. I I'll grab Shuck here. I'll grab Shuck. Um, didn't even check if they had the same by-week, by the way. They don't. Thank God. But, Zack, we just uh you asked earlier, you know, best baseball versus redraw things. Malik Willis is another funny one where I think initially you think, okay, better in baseball, right? you don't know the game that he's going to have 150 rushing yards, right? But for me, that's like completely a better and reddraft pick because again, he's not locked to your roster. If you take him with your last pick and he gets benched like Justin Fields last year, okay, yeah, no harm, no foul, drop him, stream off the waiver wire. If you take him here, I still think he's a good pick cuz I think that the bench risk is pretty low, but he's stuck to your roster, right?

Problem is I need two quarterbacks and there aren't many that I like. So, yeah, good point. That's the That's the problem. I need two quarterback. All the good ones are gone is the problem, which is why you had to pick a bad one. Well, I think I think Tyler Shuck I have Chuck and Love in the same tier. Um, I I'm I'm much higher on Tyler Shuck than you are. I know you hate him. And Sammy actually hates him not as a player. He messaged me offline. He actually hates him as a person. He's got real real beef about this guy as a person. Uh, he's an agist actually. He said because Shuck is 26, he can't be good. Um, no, but look, I I was Yeah, he had he had a easy schedule to end the year. Tyler Shuck is actually old enough to be Jonathan Brooks's dad. The fact that the fact that you have such promise as a rookie, I don't care what the schedule is. He was a rookie. I don't care how old he was, he was a rookie. It was his first time being in a professional organization. And the fact that you were able to show what you were able to show and then the team adds a top 10 wide receiver in Jordan Tyson. I mean, you could be like the 25th best quarterback in the NFL and still be a decent fantasy quarterback with the amount of weapons that are around him.

I actually agree with the overall sentiment on on Chuck. He's not a guy that I can rank as like a top 12 to option, but you mentioned in like that tier, but Jordan Love, French top 18 level guy I can get on board with. Uh, cuz at the end of the day, like I get it, he's an older quarterback. I get it. We didn't think he was a good prospect. I get it. We all thought he got overdrafted, but you have to show it on an NFL field. And I thought down the stretch last year, given the context that you know, it was very hyper reliant on Chris Ave, they didn't really have the complimentary pieces. And yet Jawan Johnson should never be getting a 100 targets. And that just goes to show if you give him his targets to or if you give his targets to, you know, Jordan Tyson and maybe Oscar Delp takes a little chunk of it and obviously ETN a little bit more of a factor out of a back field. On top of that too, I mean their backfield, even when Chimera was healthy, but especially when Chimera was out, there was just no threat of a run game. Now you have ETN there. Now you have a potentially healthy offensive line. Like I just think overall for an offense we think is going to be top three to five in pace. Knowing that they have more balance, know that knowing that it is year number two with Kell Moore running the shots, like we've seen it time and time again that Kell Moore Yeah, sure. I thought he was maybe overhyped as a head coaching candidate. He clearly knows how to run an offense.

Yeah, I agree. Um, so it sounds like you guys are going to be drafting Chuck in the tint of the Flockley League and we'll just lock that in. We'll go ahead and sharpen that. I do want to say I do want to say like I I joke around we we need to be more cognizant of of you know this is we play a pricebased game, right? Like I I do think that that there is a world in which this this shuck thing started Danny because I said that I don't think he was worth a 2027 first round pick on a dynasty stream like two months ago. Um, and wait that you hated his guts and that you sent his family like threat. My bad. My bad. I'm sorry. Yeah. Like I think you know it could work out. He could end up being you know fine for a while. I also think that he ran a little hot as a rookie. You know, he wasn't actually that good from advanced efficiency metrics. Um, like Zach mentioned, the schedule was absolute cake down the stretch for him, too. Uh, but I do agree with everything you said. It is good that they added Jordan Tyson. I think that the the offense is is designed for him to uh to succeed.

And uh yeah, I just can't believe you you must be tripping that that Trevor Lawrence went one pick before Jared you had to take Jared Goff. I didn't realize. Yeah, Jonah's Jonah's only goal in life is to frustrate me in drafts, unfortunately. Trevor Lawrence, Trevor Lawrence should should be going where Caleb Williams goes. He took Trevor Fergus right one pick ahead of me. He took Rashad White one pick ahead of me. He took Chica Conwell one pick ahead of me. He put Josh Jacobs one pick ahead of me. Jonah knows how I will react to all of this and he is he's basic he's basically trying to rage bait me right now. I know what you're doing, Jonah.

It's working. Seemingly it's working. I'm on the clock here. I am probably going to grab my second tight end. Wouldn't really ever consider getting another tight end. Uh, Lovelin has a by-week of week 10. Um, so I will go ahead and I'll grab Jake here. Yeah, there you go. Big Jake. I'll grab Jake off the board.

By the way, just have to add this disclaimer. Uh, shout out Jonah cuz apparently he was the one who kind of orchestrated this whole thing without Yeah, this is any of us actually knowing. Yeah, it's Been great. It's been great. Jonah has way too much power apparently cuz he can just like randomly start a rumor that Danny's coming on stream and then it happens six hours later. And then Tammy DMs me. I'm like, "Yeah, [ __ ] it. I'm down." Jonah, can you randomly start a rumor that Bucky Irving is going to join the stream with me uh next week? That would be awesome. I'd love that if you could just randomly start that rumor.

Yeah. So, like I back quick Yeah. Quickly on Trevor Lawrence, is there any reason why Trevor Lawrence should be going not going right next to Caleb Williams? The haircut. You think it's the haircut? It's just negative aura. And then people once they realized it was a fake haircut, they looked at his normal haircut and they thought there's still no aura. So, it's just an aura thing at the end of the day. Caleb Williams is on the cover of Madden going, "Oh, it's a little bit chilly here. It's a little bit chilly here in Chicago." And people were like, "Oh, aura. Aura." So, it's got to just be Aurora at this point.

Um, yeah, I I just love that range of quarterbacks realistically, like I would say if I go to my rankings right now, um, obviously the way I have it sorted, you know, the Lamar, the Burrow, the Caleb, the Drake, uh, you get to Daniels, get to Herz, like they're all kind of going in that, let's just say end of the fifth to seventh round range. Well, Lamar a little bit earlier, but you know what I mean, in terms of the other guys. Yeah. Um, and even the quarterbacks right after them, like Dak, Lawrence, and Herbert to me are just free clicks at their current values, especially knowing that typically out of all the quarterbacks in the top 10, they seem like the most likely to fall in most rooms.

Yeah. Okay, let me ask you this, Danny. We're on the clock. We're on the clock. Um, you guys are on the clock. If if Go ahead, Jonah. Um, yeah. I like Yeah, Danny, we're going to need a quarterback and a tight end at some point, but Jonah Coleman, RB5, um, fits this team pretty well, I think. You want to do this? I love it. Yeah, we don't have Dobbins or we don't have Harvey. And all I know is the Broncos backfield's going to be one I want to target this year. Um, who's going to be this year's Mark Ingram? Is the guy that's kind of built like him, you know? So, I want to have a conversation around Dak Prescott because uh I tweeted out my rankings and a lot of people are upset that Dak Prescott wasn't like I didn't show the tiers. In my tier, you can have him as high as quarterback eight. I think he can be as low as like quarterback 13 or something. Um, I personally don't when when I say fantasy players aren't good at projecting one year to the next, one of the things that I think about a lot right now is the Lions and their pass rate, which I think goes up this year. I think it has to without David Montgomery. Um, probably. and the Cowboys and how their pass rate might come down because when you guys added um uh come on defensive tackle from the Jets, Quinn Williams, when you guys added him, your rush defense definitely improved. You then in the draft went heavy on defense as well. I would not be shocked if you guys go from being like a bottom five unit against, you know, against all positions really. Then maybe you're like a bottom 10 unit instead. And like those little margins could matter. The reason I say that is because I feel like Jared Goff is kind of like cheaper Dak Prescott. Um, and they're both going to have games where they're just disappointing. Like that's just going to happen, you know? Uh, but golf is is playing, I think, in an offense that's going to throw the ball a lot. So, I don't know where you stand, are you willing to to pay like a seventh round Dak versus like a 10th round golf? Do you think there's that big of a difference? I ultimately am because at the end of the day, if you ask me who are backs most likely to throw yards and 35 plus touchdowns next year, the two that would immediately come off my mind would be Joe Burrow and Dak Prescott. Ultimately, if you want to make the argument that Joe Burrow's expensive, Dak Prescott, Dak Prescott's expensive, Jared Goff, Jared Goff is, you know, like the cheapest of that archetype, like I would I would I would hear you out on that.

Um, you you mentioned on the margins. I would argue that there are margins that could also regress positively for the Cowboys next year, like you could just have a guy like CD Lamb not injure his ankle on the first snap because you want to give him an end round against Chicago. On top of that, too, people always love claiming the garbage time aspect for the Cowboys last year. I can point to more more games where it let them down in fantasy than it actually propped them up. I look at the Broncos game for example like when teams cuz a couple teams play garbage time differently. We'll make our pick and then I'll give the full rationalization on that. Um, where which direction you going Sammy? Uh, I think maybe it'd be good to lock up QB2 here. Um, okay. Yeah, I'm cool with that. Uh, just sort of Yeah, Kim Ward works for us. Go with the profile picture boy. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Uh, but elaborating on that, right? Um, Denver game for example, prime example. Uh, different teams attack garbage time differently. Like the Cowboys, especially when they were in those garbage time situations, defense allowed a lot of points. They were still a team that wants to make the playoffs. So, they were still trying to throw the ball vertically against very, very soft coverage, trying to attack down the field. And a lot of times, actually, that's when Dak had his turnovers in uh to begin with. Whereas, you see a team like the Cardinals, their approaching garbage time was completely different. They are a team without any aspirations. So they're like, "Let me throw the ball 45 times, check it down when we're down by [ __ ] 20 points cuz we don't care about coming back in this game." So I think truthfully, the garbage time moniker that gets applied for the Cowboys last year, it was actually a negative cuz that's the type of quarterback that will stay in the uh pocket a second longer, will take a sack that he doesn't need to. We'll try to throw the ball down the field and take some risk because to him being down 10 points as opposed to 24 in the fourth quarter really truthfully doesn't matter. So, uh, to answer that question, um, I don't I

I think with less garbage time this year, we just see more efficient offense. Okay.

The offensive line last year also was banged up at times. Got Tyler Giden in and out of the lineup. He could potentially take a step up as a fourth-year player. And, uh, in terms of the cohesion on the interior, it doesn't it doesn't hurt having Tyler Bookie go Tyler Bookie. Wow. Uh, Tyler Booker going into year two. Tyler Smith obviously all-pro-level guard. Like I just think there's a lot of factors that don't get mentioned right now that could regress positively for this offense. And even though as a whole we don't like putting too much stock into projecting in Vegas, um the Cowboys are the third-ranked offense in terms of Vegas projections right now. And I would argue that no matter what, even if the defense jumped from the 32nd to the 18th to 20 best unit, which again I'm a Cowboys fan, I want to say they're going to jump to a top five. So they I think there's going to be a learning curve to a certain extent. Even with that being the case, I still think there's going to be an offense that, you know, throws the football 35 to 40 plus times a game, scores about 25 plus points per game.

>> Yeah. Um that's a fair that's a fair argument. I love all that from the sounds of [music] Javante Williams. [laughter]

>> Javant the thing with him. Um so Will Mcclelay who's our scouting director. >> Yeah. while he's been our undercover GM because Jerry likes taking the moniker but pays him like a GM and um there was a recent interview of him talking about Javvante Williams he's like bell cow back man what can you say like we this guy's approached the offseason the right way he's one of the in the like the way Will Mcclelay was talking about Javvante it's like I want to think you know Jaden Blue can take a step up in year two and Malik Davis is a decent backup but it's clear as day after they give him that extension they view him as an integral part of the offense. So, I don't think it's going to be a thing where, oh, well, he did it all because he got all the work last year. It's like he'll probably get about 90-95% of the workload he got last year this year. Again,

>> I think that too, right?

>> Equivalent of me when people say, "Well, aren't you worried that the Jets are talking about they have a three-headed backfield?" >> Like, that's the equivalent of me being worried about Jaden Blue in Dallas. I'm like, "Uh, no. I'm I'm really not concerned." Um, [music] okay. So, who's my best available player? I like Pacheco a lot as a handcuff. I know a lot of people don't like him. Um, Naylor is a fine pick here. Um, yeah, I'll grab. [snorts] You know what? I'm going to go with the receiver because there's a couple running backs that I that I like here. So, we'll grab Jaylen Naylor. Not for any reason other than he got paid and there's no wide receivers who have stepped up in Las Vegas. That's really the only reason.

>> Um [music] I think like there's potential for this to be what Mooney was to Cousins in Atlanta. >> I like that. >> You know, >> that's potentially what you could be could be looking at. Um but I doubt he even reaches that. Uh I am a big Jack Besh guy. I just can't bring myself to draft him in these in this format for some reason. [laughter]

>> No, it's it's so over unfortunately. Um I'm actually on the I'm actually on the Trey Tucker side of this, I think. Like it's obviously a low stakes. I mean, it's 13th round, right? Like whatever. But >> I don't know. I feel like I just feel like betting on the guy who who we have seen it from previously. He's had the blow-up games, had three touchdowns in a game last year. Um Jaylen Naylor, man, it's just like you can't pay a guy to be good. I He was just never he's never been good. And this is what this was like the wide receiver contract of the offseason where where it pops up and you just kind of go >> Jaylen Aaylor that much money really. >> Yeah.

>> I will say though I don't think anybody being selected at wide receiver in this range like you would say is category [music] great. >> You know what I mean? Like I know what you mean. Like >> there's upside with Boston and Cooper but the offenses could fall flat. There's upside with Antonio Williams but maybe they they're the team that signs digs. Like I actually really like the Shahed click. probably like the one that's clearly >> ahead of the group on my mind. But uh in terms of this tier, like same thing. Zachariah Branch, I like the talent, but >> is this Rond Del Moore in Atlanta? Like what what exactly is the ceiling here in year one? Uh Deson Stribbling too like we all said he was kind of overdrafted at the time. Like sure they're hyping him up, but at the same time, Pasawol, Evans, KD, McCaffrey, all kind of command targets. I just think this is a range of receiver where take your guy if you can tell yourself the story that oh Jaylen Naylor could be this year's Darnell Mooney maybe he's getting overpaid but if he gives me four or five spike weeks this year 13th round is a perfectly appropriate appropriate cost.

>> Yeah. Um I agree. Uh, we've got Tracy Stribbling Johnson Darnold off the board. And this is perfect because I believe that there are two really good handcuffs that are being pushed down the board. Pacheco is one of them. The other one in my opinion is Tank Bsby. And >> I think both of those are running backs where if there's an injury ahead of them are probably like must-start players each week. I feel better about Bsby than I do uh Pacheco, but I just like Pacheco's offense better.

>> So, but I don't I don't think that like the Lions are necessarily done. Pacheco got no money at all. Um >> I think sneakily >> the I've heard this like this broch. It's not it's not even a rumor yet. It's just people have some I've heard some people mention it. Drew Drew Petting now the offensive coordinator in Detroit has a connection with James Connor. >> Oh, so gross. James Connor could definitely get cut, I think. And and and like the Lions when they talk about Pacheco, it's kind of like, yeah, we needed a guy to sign. He got like less than 2 mil, I think. Um >> he didn't get paid much. That's >> kind of scares me. Kind of scares me in terms of like I like Bigsby I think is locked as the hand.

>> But I don't see a scenario where if Gibbs goes down that Pacheco isn't like the dude there, I guess, >> right now. Right now. But they could add somebody. Yeah. >> Yeah, >> they could. That will change things for sure. Um, Greg Doulich in the 14th. He has been going um in most of these drafts now. It's just a fun pick to make. On average, the 1406 in these drafts. >> I like it. >> But another guy that's going to go undrafted in your managed leagues. >> I was a big fan of him a few years ago. So, uh, seeing all the buzz that's been talked up about him in Dolphins camp, I mean, he, let's just say he's a lot deeper an underdog and I've been taking him like round 16 at times, round 17. >> He opened the offseason as like a scroll the f down 18th round pick. He's gone up, but >> so easy.

>> Danny, we have a lot of we have a lot of ceiling plays at wide receiver here. I think we need a we need a Oh god, we need a wide receiver and a tight end before we >> Trayon B is on the board. Are you are you >> are you on receiver over quarterback is what I was going to ask. >> Yeah. No, I I would only take I would go burrow cam here. I think be done. Who is even available? I could be Straoud if you wanted. But >> yeah, I was just curious on on your thoughts on that and the numbers. We have five receivers, two backs, one tight end, and five running backs. Okay.

>> Yeah, I kind of like Debo here. >> I'm cool with it. Let's take a look. Uh just double check at wide receiver. Um, >> by your ranks, Flurinoi ahead. Um, >> we could we could do Debo over Florenoi. I'm cool with that for sure. >> Okay. Yeah, I think Debo DBO has been posting on his YouTube channel. Um, it's he has a series going on called Offseason and he's just doing a bunch of workout stuff. Like this seems like and it's like football workout stuff. Like this seems like a guy who wants to still play football. >> Uh, >> I don't see a world in which I I don't see a world in which he doesn't sign. Um, >> and yeah, yeah, >> I saw a pick of him this off season and let's just say uh >> Debo's really took some weight off. >> Dude, Debo Debo is kind of he he's got a special place in my heart, man. Um, >> it was a great pick by until uh Daniel got injured, too. >> Yeah, 100%. The Debo's really put some weight on the line. kind of, you know, propelled me into flock league uh flock league stardom and then getting and I drafted him too right in front of Zach. Getting to snipe my uh >> getting to snipe my hero Zack Savage. It was incredible. >> That was >> absolutely [laughter] devastating. >> Zach's like there's no way. He literally joked about how how out of shape he is in the song. >> That's honestly what I thought. I was like there's no way he's gonna draft him. Uh what can you do? You win some, you lose some.

Um, Hawkinson at the 14th is a decent option. Jacobe Lane, Charbonnet. As much as I'm a Jadarian Price guy, I do look at where Sharpet goes in some of these formats. I'm like, >> let me ask you, >> not a bad throwaway. You know, >> if he doesn't play until week nine, are you comfortable with it? >> Cuz that's when I think he'll be back. >> I I think week nine is probably aggressive for my projections. That's why I'm So it's I I I think if he plays week nine I I would just hate the idea of like Jarium Bryce having his best weeks to begin the year. You know >> I feel like if Jarian Price shows that he's a good starter, Charbon is not getting the job back. I don't think >> exactly. That's exactly where I'm at. They spent a first-round pick on this guy and Charbon is going to be coming back from an ACL tear in a contract year. Like are they going to want to feed him like crazy? Like I really don't think so.

>> Um Danny, we're on the clock with our last pick here. I think it makes all the sense in the world to take uh Gunner Helm. Stack up Cam Ward. >> In honor of the new season of COD rank coming out, we got to take the >> the gun. >> Got to take the gunner. [snorts] >> I love it. >> You know what? There's never been a more There's never been a more Danny line in the history of [laughter] >> Hey, >> in the history of Danny, >> you got to get on it, Sammy. You and Danny, if you want to build team chemistry, you and Danny need to get into a COD lobby together. >> Oh my god. >> And just see how your communication works. >> Danny does not want We We do not want that. >> Bid on the Flock League. There's just like a stream we do of us playing pubs and then we get one of the editors to cut up [ __ ] clips from it. Like uh team whatever we decide prepping for the week. [laughter] >> That would be hilarious. >> Let me just humiliate myself real quick. Yeah. Someone said Austin Eckler.

>> Uh, when does the Flock League when does the next Flock League video come out? Do we know? Does anybody know? >> Mason said in his stream last night that he predicts like end of this coming week. >> Oh, okay. Okay. I thought they were going to go like uh >> I would have thought that it would I would have thought that it would be quicker because I feel like that's a quick one to edit. >> Yeah. >> Also, >> like just the scores, everybody revealing the scores and then the the you know, like I I would have thought that, but maybe they're trying to space them out. I'm not sure. >> Okay, >> shout out to Sid by the way. He says I can imagine Danny just screaming at Eckler to carry his weight. >> Danny totally would. Like Danny would just forget that he's playing with a professional footballer and just be like, "What the fuck?" >> One shot. [laughter]

>> Um there's some fun shots here. I like Jordan James. I think he's a direct handcuff to CMC. I like Katron Allen. Um I might go Chris Bell here or Serat. Trey Harris I like too. Um I don't have any Chris Bell yet. So >> I think you need to stack up uh stack up Shuck with Devon Vele. >> Yeah, sounds great. I I would have done that if Jordan Tyson wasn't drafted. I actually liked Devon as like a dynasty stash and then the draft happened. I was like, "Yeah, you can drop this guy." Uh I'll take Chris Bell. [laughter] I don't think Belle's gonna play for the first five, six weeks, maybe longer. Um, but >> seven. >> Yeah, six, seven, maybe. >> But I think looking at like weeks 10 onwards, he could be an interesting guy. I bet he'll be on a ton of waiver wire videos whenever he gets cleared to come back from his injury. I love that Jonah just took Jack Besh. And because he's taking Jack Bes, I'm not going to fire him. But we need to rig the stats. You can't be drafted by me anymore, Jonah. All right. We cannot be drafting by each other. [laughter] That just cannot happen.

>> PSA, by the way, by the way, like because I think that I like I I took a bunch of Jack Fes early in the in the offseason on underdog. We got to I think we got to let it go, guys. I I mean, this this man's name has not been uttered a single time in the last three months. >> Never let it go. >> He's leading the charge for wide receiver three battle. the report. >> That's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the wide receiver three on the Las Vegas R. >> The wide receiver three battle in a room where Jaylen Naylor and Trey Tucker are the wide receiver one and two. >> He could be the fifth target on the >> We just drafted in the EJ EJ manual league. Uh expert consensus has a Ro Bowers as a number one team. They have me at fifth, Sammy Stacks at third. Uh if we go by Danny's rankings, then Sammy Stacks is one and I am second. If we go by Sammy's rankings, >> uh, same thing. If we go by my rankings, then, uh, I'm actually third. And you guys are seventh. So, there you go. Uh, but that was a that was a good draft. Had a lot of fun. You guys are rocking with the team. Looks like your ideal starting lineup, this is a start eight, is probably Burrow, Love, Tutin, Chase, Bird, and Bowers. And that last uh two flex spots are going to be between Warren, Pieraw, Downs, uh that range. I am rocking like this team honestly >> with G Brown, Bree, Jefferson, J Mo, Lovelin. Last flex spots will be between Paul, Tate, Walk, uh Washington, and Jonathan Brooks. Uh this is your guys' last chance to enter tonight's giveaway.

But uh once you become a land member, you can go to landlags.com and you can enter as many of the drafts drawings as you like. Um let's give everyone, let's say, a minute um to to enter this contest and then we'll do it. Uh is there any final words you guys want to share with everyone here as you drafted your first collective team together? I honestly I feel like this went really really well. Um >> I think this was good. This was cohesive. And you know, we're going to have more than a minute and a half to be discussing during the flow. I'm really not worried. Everybody's biggest question is like, how are you guys going to decide when you disagree on a pick? It's like, okay, we're we're all adults here. We can uh we'll we'll do a little bit of, you know, um cage fighting and then we'll figure it out.

>> In between your picks, I'll be in the other room. I'll have a bottle and I'll feed Sammy. That way every time you guys go up to the board, [laughter] there will be no problems with, you know, energy. You know, you'll be on the same page. It'll be fine. >> Yeah.

>> Well, we we mentioned this, but like going through the other creators and obviously like, you know, me and have similar rankings, but like just like in general of like across like creators channels, me and Sammy have very similar rankings across the board. Like obviously there's certain stances we have that are a little bit different but like he's got Wadd high, I got waddle high. He's got Lovelin high, I got love. Like Tudin high, I got Tooten high. BTJ high, I got BTJ high. Like there's just a lot of players that overlap well. So I don't think there's going to be necessarily a pick where we're both [music] like, oh, like this guy's my clear highest player, but this guy's my clear highest player. Oh no, now we got to duke it out. It's like we might play off the, you know, the theatrics a little bit because it makes good show, but um yeah, like I might just bring my CD Lamb and Dustin Jefferson jerseys and [music] we uh stage like a boxing fight or something. But >> that would be >> I think we're just going to take Lamb. Honestly, >> that would be I have the Jefferson jersey. If I brought both jerseys and we pretended to like box like >> I'm imagining if you guys are anywhere from 8 to 12, it's going to be CD Lamb. I'm just going to take a wild guess. Yeah, I mean I I have them I have them backto back same tier. So like it's really one of those things where like you know one spot difference for me versus you know seven spots difference for Danny. It's like that's where it's sort of going to >> the the average rank is going to come out slightly higher.

>> Yeah. And and full transparency, we also talked like most of the time we're probably just going to take the guy we both like. If there's like one player one of us like clearly need like like wants like maybe one of us or each of us have like a veto in the [music] draft. big deal, you know, like it's $100,000. This isn't some like, you know, this is a $10 best baseball draft. It's going to be, you know, stakes are going to stakes are going to be raised. So, >> well, you guys can vote for who you think had the better team, the better draft today between myself and the dynamic duo of Sammy and Danny. Go down to the chat, leave a vote. Would love to hear your guys' feedback. Um, if you don't vote for me, you're wrong, obviously. [laughter] But it's fun to hear for your feedback regardless, [laughter] right guys? Right. Uh, no, I'm joking. >> Zach had both Lamb and Jefferson. I just >> If you wanted to be high in Danny's rankings, you should have taken Jeff Lamb at the 205. If that start happened, I probably would have gone Bree Scataboo, which I don't expect the Scataboo, Jacobs, Javvante to be available in the fourth of the Flock League. I could be wrong, but I I I don't expect that. >> At the beginning of the fourth, I think Scataboo will be there. He's not going to be a third-round pick. There's no way. >> That wouldn't surprise me if he's a third-rounder. Um, >> we'll see how the offseason pans out. What? We We're only like how many weeks away? >> That's really good. >> Dude, we're I mean Austin is two weeks. >> Six weeks. >> I'm flying to Austin in 10 days. Oh my gosh.

>> Yeah, dude. >> I can't wait for you to fly and you know, you're obviously you're going to endure a lot and then come be like, "Bro, it's such a long day. I you know, 7 hours today." If you guys don't know, the first time I met Danny, um, we had just traveled from Australia, which is like a 24-hour travel, right? And we rock up to Mason's and I'm like, "Oh, what's up, man?" "Yeah, I'm Zach." Like, "Good to meet you for the first time." And then I'm like, "How you doing?" He's like, "Man, I'm just completely wiped up out from the travel." I'm like completely wiped up. Meanwhile, I slept like 3 hours in 24 hours of travel. And I'm like, "Yeah, man. That must have been really hard. That must have been tough. How long was your flight? Oh, 4 hours. Wow. Yeah, that's uh >> Wait, it's 4-hour flight plus you got to the airport 2 hours early. Oh, you >> thing that's like >> Mason had to go and pick you up and drive you back to his place. Oh, you you're so you're going through it.

>> All right, we have 100 entrance tonight. Good luck to everybody and to everybody good luck. Uh this is to win a season pass or if you're already a member, I'll give you a start set voucher. And the winner for tonight, and the Oscar goes to uh our winner for tonight, I can't even see the names. It's Disney Granddaddy, which sounds fake. I promise you it's not. Um so Disney Granddaddy, if you're in the chat, which you know what would be so cool if this is actually like a grandfather who plays fantasy football and his grandkids just love watching Disney, so he's just like, I'm the Disney granddad. You know that that's actually awesome. >> Or maybe maybe he like takes them to Disney all the time. >> That could be even better. Um >> he's like it's like Candy Grandpa. It's Disney Granddaddy >> just without the drugs hopefully. Um but Disney Grand that was off stream.

>> If you uh if you are watching feel free to DM me on Discord. There's my username. You know what? I doubt if you're a granddad you actually have Discord, dude. Um email me at fantasyland football@gmail.com. Okay. Now, what I am gonna need from you, >> he's going to need your uh he's going to need your mailing address, I think. Um >> I prefer you to to DM me on Discord. If you don't have Discord, you can email me. Either way, I need you to screenshot your YouTube account. I need to verify that you're actually who you say you are. And then I need you to tell me your Flock Fantasy username.

>> Um, the poll ended with 42 votes and 52% of the vote saying Zach had the right spot. Now, look, >> we were running away with it, too. >> You were running away with it. Here's what I'll say. Zach got the bots on it. >> I was going to say here here's what I'll say. It is the Fantasy Land stream, so who knows what this would look like on a FSE stream or a Sammy Stack stream. >> Uh, but had a ton of fun hanging out with all of you guys. Last thing I will say is set your alarms. Okay, tomorrow my fantasy strategy video, my annual strategy video comes out. Get your notifications on. Make sure you're subscribed. On the road to 100K strategy video comes out tomorrow. I am very excited for you guys to watch it. The most time and effort I've ever put into a video. Um, of course you can go subscribe to Danny and Bush's channel, the Fantasy Stock Exchange. They do great content over there. Anything you're excited about that you guys are releasing here in the next couple weeks. Uh, we got our content schedule filled out. So, this past week we were talking about wide receiver, running back, s running back, all that good stuff. Uh, we're going to be this week ranking the draft slots along with the favorite draft strategies per draft slot which I think is like specific nuance that I always really enjoy is that we talk about these draft strategies from a broad perspective.

>> Yeah. >> But truthfully there's going to be a right or wrong strategy based just where you're picking and that's going to be the access to the board because as we say in the first four rounds, five rounds inherently you just want to take the best projections. So depending on where you're picking, certain strategies are going to work better because you're just going to get access to better players. >> Yeah, I think that's a really good point. Um I talked about that actually in a recent video, which Sammmyy's made this video as well, where we all kind of thinking about where do you want to draft from this year. It's it's a it's a great point. You can't really accomplish every strategy uh from every part of the board. Um [music] Sammy, anything you got coming up that you're excited about? Yeah, I'm actually uh tomorrow I'm going to have a uh a video talking about the the hero RB strategy um this year. Uh why why I think that it's very very interesting. So uh >> so yeah, look out for that.
