Testing My Strategy In A Real 2026 Fantasy Draft

Alrighty, I am hopping into another real draft with my community. Real money on the line in this one. $120 to first place. Uh, these best drafts have been a lot of fun this year. Shout out to all the land members who are in the league with me.

Your boy is drafting from the six spot, which I'm excited about because I really do like the 6-7 spot. I'm not doing the meme. I really think the 6-7 spot this year, uh, is a good spot to be drafting in if, if that's where you've got it in your home league. Uh, shout out to all y'all in here hanging out.

This is a one quarterback, start eight, uh, full PPR, no titan premium. It's the same settings as the flock league. Okay. Uh, so it's four-point passing touchdown. Uh, all kind of that the standard look, if you will. Again, start eight is the format. So, we're looking at a quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, a tight end, and two flex spots.

Now, the only difference is right now, uh, this will change in August, but right now, these are not managed leagues. Uh, the way best ball works is you, we're basically just asking the question, who has the best fantasy football draft? Okay, that's the entire question that we're asking here. Um, and, uh, Rowan, you can go ahead and start this draft off for us. But the way best ball works is there's no trades in the season. There's no management of your lineup in season. No waiver wire. Simply, you draft a team and then your best players are entered into your lineup for you each and every week. It's basically, hey, who, who came out here and had the absolute best draft. So that's why we are here, ready to roll. Uh, Rowan, go ahead and start this bad boy off.

Uh, Flock Anonymous says, "Curious on your opinions of the of the Odyssey. Just watched it." Yeah, honestly, I was, I was honestly, I'm kind of confused. I, I released a video today where I talked about the Odyssey and everyone's like, "Wow, I'm sorry that you, you had to watch the Odyssey." And I'm sitting here like, "What do you mean you're sorry? What do you mean you're sorry that I had to watch the Odyssey? It was an awesome movie." So, did anybody hate the Odyssey? I, all my friends, we, we were like, this is an incredible movie, but I'm seeing like a ton of people who are like, "Hey, the Odyssey actually sucks." Uh, I, I don't know why, why that's happening. Um, but I'll be curious to hear your guys' opinions. He says, "It's unfortunately become a political thing." How is it political? I don't, man, I love y'all in the States. I'm an American born and raised all the way to the age of 18, and then I moved overseas. Y'all can turn anything political. Like, anyway, we're not, we're not even going to dive into that. Uh, what's up, Dio? In the chat, let me know who I'm hanging out with. Gabrielle, Mike, Styles, Danny, Jonah. Uh, appreciate y'all being here.

Uh, okay. We've got Gibbs and Bejon off the board here with the first two picks. Uh, no surprise. That's what we're pretty accustomed to seeing. Um, Stunning Goat says, "Thought it was Alex Caruso for a second." Uh, what's up, BQ Sports Media? What's up, Silent? Uh, we've got Vikes here. Jamar is in the building. Uh, Flock says, "So cool to watch. Can't believe those cats were rowing boats in high seas." Uh, yeah, very, very cool to watch. Obviously, I'm not like, very versed on, uh, Greek mythology, but it was a very good watch.

Okay, I have drafted from the sixth spot before and, um, let's look at our cheat sheet here. The first time we drafted from the six spot, we did go with Christian McCaffrey. I have two players in this tier though, with McCaffrey and Amon-Ra, and I haven't gotten into a, uh, redraft league yet where I've taken Amon-Ra St. Brown. So, I'm going to switch it up a little bit. Um, I think they're both great options. What I really love about the six and the seven spot is, uh, you typically have a lot of flexibility compared to the beginning of the board. Now, yeah, you're not going to get the Jamar Chases, you're not getting Bejon, you're not getting Gibbs. That's painful. But, uh, you do have, in my humble opinion, a ton of flexibility, which, uh, is something that we can't really underestimate, uh, in a draft like this. But, uh, after Amon-Ra St. Brown came off the board, we obviously get Christian McCaffrey.

Uh, Lad says, "I didn't watch it. What's so controversial about the movie?" Without spoilers, in case I don't. That's what I'm trying to figure out, Danny. I don't know. I don't know what's controversial about it. Um, uh, Flock Anonymous says, "I thought it was freaking awesome. Highly recommend to anyone." Yeah, I mean, I wasn't watching that movie thinking, "Oh, wow. These, this group of people is going to hate this movie." I, that never once crossed my mind. But, I don't know. Nowadays, you, you can't fart without someone being upset, can you?

Uh, okay. After Christian McCaffrey, we get Justin Jefferson off the board, Ashton Gentry, and Jonathan Taylor. Uh, I am super excited for you guys to see my strategy video that releases on Monday. All right, so my official strategy video, which comes out every single year, will be out on Monday. Really excited for you guys to watch it. Uh, I put way too much time and effort into it. Like, truly, I'm, I honestly, I'm not just saying this because I want you to go watch it. I am truly so glad that I have finally finished prepping that video because it took months. Um, and this is the same video that last year you guys bumped to 520,000 views. The year before, 240,000 views. You guys were crazy. Um, I'm so excited for you guys to watch my strategy. Uh, it's only gotten more and more detailed. There's only more research, more data behind it. Um, and I can tell you who's very excited that I've finally finished a strategy video is my wife, okay? Because she would like to see me every once in a while. And literally, all of my free time for like the past 30 days has been, if I've stopped working on something here or, you know, I get home from a dinner, the first thing I'm doing is researching for the strategy video. So, that's been like, uh, a long time coming. Set your alarms Monday. Set your notifications. Make sure that you've got, uh, you know, the ability to come watch that video.

Okay. After Ashton Gentry comes off the board, we have Jonathan Taylor, James Cook, Saquon Barkley, Devon Achane. Um, I do love the back end of the board here because running backs are obviously so valuable. They are like the creme de la creme. It feels really good being able to start your draft with two running backs, and the back end of the board almost feels like you have to at times. So, it's almost like a blessing in disguise. What's up, LeBron James? Uh, well-known fan of Fantasy Land Football. LeBron James is in the chat. What's up, man? Good to have you here. Uh, by the way, guys, everybody who's drafting with me today is a promo code land season pass member or they're an annual member. But you can actually get into a draft with me whenever you like. I'm going to be doing a lot of managed leagues as well when we get into August. So, if you want to get into a league that matters, that, you know, we've got great people commissioning them over here with land, uh, then the option is very simple. Just become a season pass member with the promo code land. I'll put a link in the pinned comment. Um, and I am going to give away a season pass tonight. If you're already a member, you can also, uh, enter and I'll give you a start voucher instead. But if you want to enter tonight's giveaway, all you have to do, we're going to switch it up tonight, is type the word pass daddy into the chat. All right? All one word. That's the code word. I'm going to make you earn it. You're going to have to type out daddy. All right? Pass daddy into the chat. Uh, so type in pass daddy. Like the stream. Once you've done those two things, you will officially be entered into tonight's giveaway. You might win a season pass. You might win some vouchers. Appreciate y'all being here.

Okay, so the 10 spot to the 12 spot go double RB here to begin. I like it. I like it a lot. We've got Taylor, Hampton. Man, Taylor Hampton is such a fun start. Cook, Brown. Like, these are just, how could you be upset at the back end of the board this year? It's just such an easy place to draft. You just know that you're going to get two running backs that you absolutely love, that you're obsessed with. I'm on the board here. I've got Amon-Ra St. Brown at the 106. Um, I need to update my rankings on my cheat sheet because I did add a running back to this tier. Uh, AJ Brown is a great option. If I was in a managed league, there's no chance I am taking AJ Brown over a Derrick Henry, for example, because I really don't want to go into round three with no running backs. I mean, you can accomplish that strategy. It's not impossible. Um, but I would like to start. Yeah, I just, I'm sorry. I know he's, I, I feel like he's going to smash again, you know. I'm going to grab Derrick Henry here. Derrick Henry is someone that has moved up my rankings. We will need to have that reflected here on the cheat sheet. I'll get that refreshed for you guys over the weekend. Um, but I feel like, you know, we, we, how many videos have we seen in the past three to four years that have all told you to not draft Derrick Henry because here's historically how this player has broken down, age, he's going to hit a cliff. The problem is, there's only one Derrick Henry. So, you're looking at this sample size of hundreds of running backs who all hit a cliff in their career at a certain age. The problem is, none of them are Derrick Henry. Okay? [laughter] None of them are built like a house like this man. All right? This man is built like a demigod. So if you look at their schedule from like weeks two to 11, Henry has like the third most favorable schedule for rushing, uh, against rushing defenses. I just feel like he's set to smash this year. If Lamar Jackson is healthy, this guy's going to get 15 rushing touchdowns again. So, I'm going to take him at the 207. It's so funny 'cause I was prepping again, the strategy video that comes out on on Monday. Really excited for you guys to see that. And I was going through Yahoo. I was going through ESPN. I was doing a bunch of drafts there and making sure, does the strategy hold true throughout every platform? And let me tell you something. Uh, Derrick Henry on, in ESPN, Derrick Henry on ESPN is, is going like in the first round pretty consistently. Uh, so absolutely bonkers, man. Absolutely bonkers. Uh, after I went Derrick Henry, Brock Bowers comes off the board. Guys, if you haven't watched my latest video today, seven players I would go to war for. Uh, Brock Bowers is the featured player. I talk about him in this video. And I just think like he, he could easily be like the ultimate cheat code this year. He really could. It would not at all surprise me if he comes out here and, you know, is basically what Trey McBride was last year. Like, that would not surprise me at all whatsoever. [music] Um, okay. [clears throat] I got to catch up with some of you guys in the chat. LeBron says, "ESPN is its own beast. You can destroy in those drafts for sure." BQ says, "I like your draft picks video. That was very well done." Appreciate you, man. That's the video we released, uh, was this beginning of the week. Uh, I go through all 12 picks and rank them. Spots I'd like to draft from. Uh, let's catch up here. Let's catch up. Silent says, "Can we have Danny on air instead of in the chat?" If Danny was to hop on, I'm not opposed to having him in today's stream. I could pretty easily make that happen. I've already got it set up for two people, but, um, Danny's probably chilling, enjoying his free time. Vik says, "Give me Chase Brown and Zamarian Hampton over Gentry, Saquon." Do you like Gentry a lot this year? Training camp is on. Yes, we are back. Uh, and there's a lot of hype that is just getting out of control. We're seeing Chris Olave in the second round. I have not seen that this year. Let me go to our ADP in our real drafts. Have we had an Olave in round two yet? He on average is a 305. Nope. The earliest he's gone is 26, which that would be the 302. So, this is the earliest we've seen him for sure. Mock says, "Hey, Zach, you just told my secret out loud to draft Rome on the current price." I'm guessing you're saying, "Yeah, I don't think you guys understand. Like, today's video was painful for me to record because as a Luther Burden stand, I mean, it's just difficult to come out here and tell you guys, hey, I love Luther Burden. I'm probably going to draft more Rome Odunze this year. That was painful for me to say. And I, I talked about it with Sammy over last time on on Sunday's stream. But here's the problem with the world of fantasy football nowadays. You tell me if you guys disagree, let me know. But here's the problem with today's world in fantasy football. We all love to hit on the next great breakout. We all love to hit on the guy who everyone's like, "Oh, wow." Like the Puka Nacua last year, right? Puka Nacua before his rookie year. We all love to hit on that. Problem is, it's a cycle and it's vicious. Luther Burden is just the latest example. For example, if you wanted to be the Luther Burden guy two months ago, then you would be like, "Well, I'm gonna draft Luther Burden in the sixth round." Everyone's like, "You're going to take him that high? You're going to take Luther Burden in the sixth?" A month ago was like, "Well, yeah, I'm going to take him in the fifth round." People like, "The fifth round? You're going to take him that high?" Right. Today, everyone's like, "Actually, that's not high enough. I'm going to take him in the fourth round." I mean, will, when will it stop? Is, is Luther Burden gonna end up being a third round pick? I mean, I love Luther Burden, but it's like, you're only cool in the fantasy space if you're the highest on him, right? So, if you've got him at wide receiver 20, which is, which is fair, and someone's got him at 14, they're like, "Oh, wow. You're too low on him, bro. Like, you're not as, you're, you're just not, you're not a Luther Burden guy, are you?" It's like, well, you can, you can actually be a huge Luther Burden fan and also recognize that drafting him in the third round might not be a, a good call. I mean, I went to Twitter today and I talked about the Breece Hall hype as well. Uh, we had a, this post from Liam, uh, Cohen talking to, uh, Shrager about Breece Hall and Coach Peak Index tweeted it out and it just, it just took a life of its own. And now I'm sitting here and I'm like, man, we're gonna end up with like third round Breece Hall when all is said and done. Um, it's just, it's just the hype machine, you know? You, you can't beat the hype machine sometimes. And some people might argue that last year I was too aggressive on Bucky Irving. And in hindsight, you were right. Now, to be fair, he was averaging 18 points per game before he had his injury. Who knows? But in hindsight, fair enough. If that was your opinion, you might just be right. Um, uh, LeBron, which big fan, LeBron, damn, I was gonna say Josh Jacobs would have been the perfect pick for me there. Maybe I shouldn't have flashed the cheat sheet, but I love Breece Hall here. I love Breece Hall. I love Javonte here. Using the cheat sheet, uh, let's look at Sleeper ADP for one second. Yeah, Breece is, is obviously not getting back to us. How about Landing's ADP? Yep, Breece is typically the next pick in my rankings. He's the, he's the next pick. Seems like a no-brainer here. Um, look, there's no doubt about it. Breece Hall had an underwhelming, uh, season last year. Like, if, if you're out there like, "Zack, Breece Hall," I get it. It was underwhelming. You would, you would be right to say so. In fact, it was a career low in points per game, but just such a dysfunctional offense with Justin Fields and then just this huge pile of dog [ __ ] and Bailey Zappe and Trubisky. I know Geno Smith was bad last year, but I think he's a genuine upgrade for this offense. Um, and after Breece Hall got the bag, I'm expecting him to get the lion's share of the work. No, I'm not worried about Bralan Allen. No, I'm not worried about, uh, Isaiah Davis. This is the same thing I said last year. I mean, if you guys watch Fantasyland Football last year, now granted, the Bills are better than the Jets. I hear you. But last year, everybody and their mom was telling you, you have to avoid the, uh, the James Cook pick. James Cook is going to bust. He's due for regression. And we're sitting here like, you know, they just paid him all this money. He is going to get every opportunity to shine. That's where I feel like I am at with Breece Hall. If the Jets can even be a top 24 offense, then Breece Hall in the third round is going to pay off. He's going to get all the opportunities, um, in that backfield in my humble opinion. But I love the Jacobs pick. Uh, Ben Wolf says, "It was Jacobs or Breece for me there." I love the Jacobs pick. Um, I think right now if you're, if you're in drafts, you're getting him at a pretty good discount because everyone's still thinking about his off-field stuff. I don't see a scenario in which that really, uh, ends up being a problem come the season. I think people are going to forget about it pretty quickly. You know, we've seen example after example of guys who, yeah, have done wrong things off the field, but it's taken over a year for the legal process even to work itself out. So, uh, I like the Jacobs pick. In fact, let's ask, let's ask this. Uh, let's ask the question. If Jacobs plays 17 games, where would you draft him? Let's ask that question. I want to know. Let's put the poll in the chat. If Jacobs plays 17 games, where would you draft him? Would you be comfortable to take him in round two or say, "No, Zach. I, I still wouldn't draft him until round three." I want to know. I want to hear from you. Go ahead and vote in the poll. Let's get a good consensus here. Let's get a good group of y'all voting. Totti, did you not hear though? Bralan Allen's not even the favorite to be the RB2 on his own team? Um, yeah. I was notoriously anti-Bralan Allen coming out of his class. I remember in Dynasty rookie drafts. Um, and to be fair, he was injured last year, but I just, Bralan Allen didn't worry me when he was a rookie. He certainly doesn't worry me coming into the year as a third, third-year player proving nothing.

Okay, so after Breece, we get a nice little run here with Kyren, uh, with Javonte Williams, Josh Allen at the 309. I really love the six and seven spot here, guys. I also kind of low-key like five because a lot of people are saying that they don't have JSN in the same tier as like Puka, Chase. I disagree. [music] Um, but I just, I love the flexibility of like the five, six, seven spots. I really do. Uh, after Josh Allen, we get Cole Kmet in the third, which you're going to see in plenty of leagues this year. You're going to see in plenty of leagues that that's going to happen. Okay, so we have 48 votes. Go to the poll. Let's get at least 60 votes on this. I want to know where you guys would draft Josh Jacobs if he plays all 17 games. Uh, yeah, would love to hear from you guys. Jonah says, "Love in the third is a little crazy." I have them ranked that high. If, if you, uh, I'll go ahead and show my, you can also show players that were taken. I have Kmet ranked as my 33rd player. So I don't think it's the craziest thing in the world, but I do understand why people are concerned. I understand people's concerns. The Ladster says, "Lamb, Gentry start would make me." You know what? Family-friendly show here. Family-friendly show. No jokes. Ladster says, "May the best man win when it comes to loving on draft day." Where do you, where do you have, uh, Cole ranked, Danny? Let's see. Where is everyone ranked on him? Uh, you have him ranked 29th. Okay. So, I am the second highest and it looks like Danny is the highest on Kmet this season. Man, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith being that low is kind of shocking. I mean, being dynasty guys, that's not even, Oh, what? So, that's like back into the fourth. I'm doing the math right, guys? That's like back into the fourth. [laughter] Man, I just, you can't tell me that you don't like these teams on the edges here. A.J. Brown in the fourth. Sammy and I had a, a discussion about A.J. Brown in last year's draft. [snorts] Some of you guys are funny. Uh, Gringo says, "What's the opinion on League Median? Brought it up to my league mates and got a mixed result." Yeah, League Median is something that I, I've wanted to add to like my personal home friend league for a while. Um, but my friends hate the idea. They think it's, uh, the best way to say is they think it's weak sauce to come out here and be like, "Let's get rid of the randomness." They like the randomness of fantasy football. They like the idea of it being a head-to-head and having tough losses where you score the second most points but still lose. Um, I like a league median, but the mo most people are are not about it.

Okay, I got to be honest. I am kind of shocked Cam Akers is still available in Land League ADP. He is. Oh, T. Higgins is also out there. Oh my gosh. How did I get these options here? Oh my gosh. I got to choose between Cam Akers and T. Higgins in a best ball format. Wow, that's kind of crazy. I didn't expect to. How did I end up with these options? Um, I feel good about getting, uh, wide receivers later on in the draft. So, we're going to go heavy on the running backs here to start. So, we have a Amon-Ra, Henry, Hall, Akers start. And look, I understand some people's concerns with, uh, with Cam Akers, some concerns with the offense. I just think this is a player who will be the offense. Do you know what I mean? Like, that's how I view it. Um, I think he's capable of that. I understand he's coming back from an injury. Um, but also every time Harbaugh opens his mouth, it's praising Cam Akers. Um, and yes, it would be nice if he could not do backflips, but, uh, I am not concerned about him as much as the average person is. >> [snorts] >> Um, okay. So, I asked you guys, if Jacobs plays all 17 games, where would you draft him? 73 of you guys voted. 73 of you guys voted. And 52% of you guys said you would still draft him in round three. So, if you knew Jacobs played 17 games, it sounds like mo the majority, 52%, their opinion would not change. That's surprising. Honestly, I thought that you guys would vote and say you would take him in round two. I really, that's really what I thought would happen. Um, but that's, uh, that's maybe a good sign as someone who wants to draft Jacobs in round three this year. It's a good sign that the consensus is saying, "Hey, even if he plays all 17 games, I don't care. I'm not going to move him up my rankings." I kind of like that. I kind of like that a lot. [clears throat] What's up, Breaking Bricks? I have not heard anybody say Neighbors will be ready week one. Who's your, who's your source there? I've, I've not heard that. I've heard quite the opposite a lot, actually. By the way, Ladster, you're welcome to join the stream if you want. Uh, no pressure, obviously. Someone said earlier, hey, why, why don't you just have Danny come on instead of being in the chat? I'm like, if he wants to, he's welcome to. No pressure, obviously, if you're chilling. Got says, "Danny would have combusted with a Lamb, Gentry, Kmet start." [laughter] Um, after, man, that's a great pick for Wolf, man, too, to get T. Higgins at the 408. Sheesh. Uh, Lamar at the 409. We get Bucky at the 410. I gotta be honest, guys. Like, I need to sit down and really figure out where I stand with Bucky Irving. He is a player I need to do more soul-searching on because my heart pulls me towards believing in this guy. I really think that this is a player who coming out was a fantastic pass catcher. I understand you bring in Kenny Gainwell, and I think, and Gainwell is a great player. Okay. But Bucky Irving was a fantastic pass catcher coming out. You've got a new offensive coordinator who very easily could just fall in love with Bucky Irving. Before Bucky Irving goes out with his injury, averages over 18 points per game. Is it really not possible that with a new offensive coordinator, offensive coordinator that we all love in Tampa Bay, replacing a coordinator that we hated, that Bucky Irving isn't just a league winner this year? Are we sure that's not possible? I mean, even as a rookie, it's not like he had to have 22 touches per game. As a rookie, Bucky Irving, 46% of the snaps, almost 15 points per game. He was healthy. That's all that, that was the difference. He was healthy. And that year, he averaged 15 touches a game. Basically averaged a point in fantasy per touch. I really think I need to be more aggressive on Bucky. I love Kenny Gainwell. I really do. But are we really surprised that Bucky Irving gets no touches inside the five-yard line after suffering a serious shoulder injury? Like, are we sure about that? Are we sure that's surprising? Oh, this guy's shoulder messed up. Should we put him in the trenches? Yeah, let's do it. No, they didn't do it. Are we surprised that the guy who mismanaged the backfield at the end of the year is no longer calling plays? I don't know. I don't think we are surprised. So, I need to sit down. I'm just thinking out loud right now. But Bucky Irving in the fourth, maybe should be a no-brainer for us this year, gang. Maybe Bucky Irving should be a no-brainer for us in the fourth round. Um, maybe this is the post-hype time we should, we should target him. Um, let me ask, let me ask the chat here. Let's, let's say this. Let's ask the chat this. What is Bucky Irving's upside in 2027? That's what I want to ask. Okay. Is it top 10? Is it top 12? Is it top 15? Or do you only think top 20 is realistic? Because let's be honest, like to say his upside is outside the top 20 is a bit ridiculous. Okay, I want to hear from you guys. Ladster. Yeah, exactly. He's got the best nickname. He's Batman. Uh, upside is definitely there. I'm just more worried in the shoulder. I get that. All reports are that he's going to get, uh, he's going to be there, uh, for camp. So that will be interesting. Uh, Ann says, "I like Bucky. Great rookie year, but I do see a P.C.O. world where they chew him and spit him out." I guess, like, I understand, but I think Pacheco has never even dreamt of having the season that Bucky had as a rookie. Do you know what I mean? Like, that's where I would probably push back. Bucky's rookie year was one of the most impressive rookie years of all time from a running back. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but truly, if you look at like the last two and a half years, just from like an efficiency perspective and like what we expect from a running back, I, I got to be honest, like I don't think using Pacheco as is a good reason to be out. I understand from the perspective of like a late-round draft pick, but yeah.

Okay, I'm on the clock here. Should [laughter] I just grab my boy J.D. McKissic? He is my number one ranked player, uh, in my cheat sheet. Landing's ADP has him coming off the board here in the next three picks. Um, I am going to probably take a receiver. I really love this receiver, uh, and and a huge fan of him for 2026 drafts. Oh my god, I would be creaming myself if I started the Flock League this way. I would be absolutely creaming myself. Okay, please nobody clip that. Um, imagine starting Amon-Ra, Evans, Henry, Breece, Akers. Oh my gosh. Uh, Ladster says, "I'd probably say back in one. I don't think Gainwell would ever truly get worked out of the backfield." Yeah. No, I don't, I don't disagree with that. But Danny, I guess what I'm advocating for is I don't think Bucky Irving needs to be given 22 touches per game for him to pay off at a fourth or fifth round ADP. I feel like he could, he could get like 16 to 17 touches a game and be a fantastic pick. He could finish top 12 with 16 touches a game. You know what I mean? Yeah, [laughter] it's true. Everybody's rankings feel a little bit different. Jonah says, "Nathan doesn't let Henry get there if he's after you in the draft order." You mean at the 207? Yeah. After I take, we get this, I mean, for, okay, first off, let's recap round four. Burden keeps going in round four. I don't think it's going to stop. And I love Burden, but it is so difficult for me mentally to see Luther Burden and Malik Neighbors being drafted back to back. I don't know. I'm finding it so hard to see Burden like over a T. Higgins in a almost a round over Waddle and some of these guys. Wild. Um, we see Lamar in the fourth. A run of running backs from the 410 to the 504. Waddle drops to the fifth, which is insane. I don't think Waddle has ever gone that late in Land League drafts. Waddle on average is a 410. The latest he's gone is the 412. So that will be the latest he's fallen in all these drafts we've done. Has he gone after Burden much this year? Wow. Guys, please don't make me the anti-Luther Burden guy. Please don't make me that guy. I will hate you guys if you make me that guy. Okay? Don't make me that guy this year, please. For the love of God, I can't be that guy. I, my heart can't take it. Uh, but we get this huge run. It's, it's funny 'cause like I really feel like there are multiple runs in the fourth and fifth round this year. There's a, there's a running back run and there's a wide receiver run. The running back run, you saw it. It's Bucky, Henderson, Judkins, Tutin, Swift, Monty, Price. That's, that's the run there in the fourth to fifth. The wide receiver run is typically these vets like McLaren, Evans, J.O. Adams. You got some of the young guns like Tate. So, this is following the script so far for sure. Joe says, "No way you started a draft like this and you're happy." Yeah, brother. There somehow there's a way. Somehow I'm happy. Somehow I'm content. Brett says, "Evans and Adams are so much better than Bucky." I don't really understand the comparison there. Um, I guess you're advocating that you would much rather draft a receiver in that range, which honestly, like Waddle going after Bucky is, is kind of crazy. I'll give that to you there. Uh, Totti, ask me this in two weeks from now. I don't know who I'm taking between Bucky and Henderson yet. I don't know the answer yet, dude.

Okay, after Price, we do see Tyler Higbee. Gosh, I got to be honest, guys. Someone, someone tell me I'm an idiot, but I think there's only two tight ends I'm really targeting this year in drafts. Someone tell me I'm stupid. I feel like at cost, I am only targeting Bowers and Kmet, and then I'm just punting entirely. Y'all tell me. Tell me I'm wrong. I want to hear. I want someone to tell me I'm wrong. Tell me why. I mean, I'm not, I, I would get it if that's the way you feel, but I think those are the only two guys I'm paying up for this year. Uh, by the way, we got an update on the poll and, uh, 73 of you guys voted. You guys are so split on Bucky Irving. 27% say his upside is top 10. 29% say top 12, 28% say top 15. I want you guys to think about that for a second, though. Okay, just take a second here because we might be all finding a revelation right now. If you guys all think Bucky Irving can finish top 15, if 84% of you guys, if 84% of you guys think top 15 is not unrealistic, then Bucky Irving probably shouldn't be going this late. Let's be real for a second. That's what you guys just voted for. Bucky Irving on average is the RB 20 off the board. Oh, y'all going to make me start getting passionate about Bucky again. Oh no. Y'all going to make me the Bucky Irving guy again. You're going to turn me into the monster I once was. Don't make me do it. I might have to be that guy. I might have to be that guy. I am on the clock. What does the cheat sheet say? We got three running backs we love. Um, I hate this part of the board now. I don't want to draft a quarterback. Don't want to draft any of these running backs. Oh, hello Christian Watson. That could not be a better option out there for me than Christian Watson. Welcome home, Christian. Uh, I got to be honest, clearly some of you guys in the chat hate this start. I don't care. I love this start. This is, if you could write this in Sharpie that I start the Flock League this way, I would Sharpie this thing in, bro. I would Sharpie this thing in. And the best part is this particular draft is a best ball format. So, I don't have to worry about when to start any of these names. You're like, "Zack, but the, the Jets offense sucks. You never know when Breece is going to score points." That's fine. Zack, you never know when Watson's catching a touchdown. That's fine. I [snorts] don't care. Uh, by the way, appreciate everybody out here watching the show. Uh, a couple things I want to let you guys know. I am in a real draft right now. This is $120 to first place.

Okay, we just saw something very interesting happen in this draft. Okay? Because it's not often that we play, we talk about fantasy football and we talk about defense, but some defense was just played in this draft. Some of you guys will already know what I'm talking about here, but in the 69, at the 69, Joe took Joe Burrow, which by the way, from a team-building perspective, probably not a great idea to have two quarterbacks through six rounds when you go, when you go an elite guy. Probably not a good idea, but he did that because he was playing defense on Mike, who was about to get the Burrow-Chase stack. Just bravo. [applause] Bravo, Joe. Let's give, let's give Joe some love in the chat here. [laughter] Ladster says, "Offense wins games, defense wins championships." [laughter] Bro said sniper. No swiping. [snorts] [laughter] You are kned, good sir. You are kned. Uh, incredible defense. Not all [laughter] heroes wear capes. Uh, Mike is probably fuming right now, but hey, shout out to you, my dude. Shout out to you. Uh, okay. I'm going to see how much you guys like my draft so far. How would you rate my draft through six rounds? That's what I'm going to ask you. Uh, let's, let's see the, the people's opinions. I personally love it. Uh, but I know not everybody's going to. Uh, Caleb Williams at the 612 coming off the board. Jalen Hurts in the seventh is really fun. For the vast majority of these drafts, I'm finding it hard to pay up, even though the quarterbacks do feel like they're at a discount. It's time to go. Most people would say you draft the Breece, it's a zero out of 10. That's what most people would say. [laughter] Uh, hey Gabriel. I've addressed this a couple times, but just so you guys know, if you want to go show him some, some love and some support, [music] Bodaki, uh, his one of his biggest goals and aspirations in life was to start his own clothing label. He began that process in January this year. Um, so you can go follow him. Uh, it's called Room, but you can type into socials, shop Room. Uh, it is like a luxury streetwear clothing label for plus-size, uh, plus-size people. So, you can go show him some love by following him on his socials there. Uh, Ladster says, "I'd have gone Higgins over Akers, but love the rest." Yeah, transparently looking back, if I went Higgins at the 407, I would have definitely gone Price at the 506. So, I would have been pretty happy either way. But that's one of the reasons that I just love drafting in the middle of the board. Nothing feels like unpredictable. It feels like you're in these comfy sweet spots, you know? All right. So far, 15% of you guys have given me a grade of B, 35% an A, and 15% a C. I am shocked that out of the all the people who voted there, nobody gave me a D-grade. I thought there would for sure be haters out there. I, I thrive on the hate. Do guys, don't love me so much just yet. Okay. All right. Don't, don't only send me love. I thrive on the hate. All right. I thrive on it. I've told this story once before and, uh, transparently telling it again. This might make me look like a, a sociopath. [laughter] I'll tell the story one more time. Uh, like I said, I thrive on hate. Like I truly do. Give me anything that's bulletin board material, you know. Um, I'm going to give you guys a throwback to COVID. This was 20. I had just lost my job. I was a promotional producer in LA. I just lost my job. I'm on the clock here as Metaf goes. Um, oh my gosh, my mouse is dead. [ __ ] Oh no. Come on. Charge. Okay. Okay. We're back. We're back. We're back. We're back. We're back. Don't worry. We're chilling. We're chilling. We got the cheat sheet. We're chilling. Man, Harold Fanning this late. I re, I for the 90% of my drafts, I am punting. [sighs] I just don't think there's a better value on the board right now, gang. I do not suggest that you take a tight end in these mid rounds, but I really don't think there's a better pick on the board right now. I, I'm going to go against my own, uh, my own advice here for the most part, but to be fair, part of my advice to you guys is always don't just do a strategy to say you did a strategy. If there's a clear value, then you have to deviate if there's such a clear value on the board. That's how I feel here with Harold Fanning at the 706. I just, I'm sorry. I just, I can't take this guy. I can't let him fall any lower. Okay, there's a lot of chaos happening right now. Do you guys want to hear this story or no? [laughter] Uh, should I, should I tell the story about me being a sociopath or do I save my image? I don't know. Maybe I just save my image. [snorts] Uh, I don't know what happened there with Nightbot. Sorry. Trenton Stone says, "You catch me dead before drafting him up." Named Harold. Hey, Harold's about to. All right. Prove you wrong. All right. That's what I have to say about it. All right. No, your mom goes to college. Top 10 things to happen in a draft. Mouse dies. Okay. People want me to tell the story. Okay. All right. So again, let me set the scene for you guys. The year is 2020. COVID just hit. I lost my job as a promotional producer in LA. Um, then I decided for fun I would make a podcast and the only reason I made the podcast was to make fun of my home fantasy football league. I just wanted to talk [ __ ] about the guys who were in my home league. That's, that's the reason I did it. Had them submit clips, would make fun of them. Okay. So, everybody had free time in COVID and that's when I was like, let me just do this for fun. That, that was the reason I did it. Never thought I would make a dime on fantasy football. Uh, I end up really enjoying it. Um, and then I started taking it a little more serious because I was like, I enjoy this. People enjoy hearing me talk about it. I've always, I've played fantasy literally since like the year, like honestly since like 1998, 1999, I've been playing fantasy football. Some of you guys are going to be like, holy [ __ ], this guy's old. Other others of you are like, oh yeah, I've been playing fantasy since then. Okay, so anyway, lost my job. I start taking it serious and, you know, start, I'm editing the videos now. We're trying YouTube. Um, and to begin, I was really focusing on like Instagram and the podcast. I wasn't even doing YouTube, but, um, there was this, I, I posted like my quarterback rankings for, I think it was like the 2020 season or 2021 season, right? And there was this guy who told me I was an idiot because I didn't have Aaron Rodgers ranked number one. Now, you go to his profile, he's a Packers fan. I'm like, "All right, man. Well, you know, I just replied and I'm like, "This is why I think, uh, I wouldn't have him number one." And anyway, the guy like DMs me and he basically says something along the lines of, "I still have the screenshot saved in my phone somewhere. I could find it. Uh, but I, I, I made it my background for like two years." And basically, he said some, I had like 300 Instagram followers at the time. and he said something along the lines of, uh, you're an

idiot. You'll never amount to anything. All you do is copy your rankings from from CBS. You have a Mickey Mouse mouse channel and you'll never you'll never amount to anything.

And I screenshotted that that day and that was my phone background for two years. I don't know that guy. I'll never meet that guy in my entire life. But that made me lock in in a way that I I cannot explain to you guys. Some random person that that just wanted to be hateful sends me a DM and I don't know, maybe there's something wrong with me. If there's anybody who is in the chat who's a psychiatrist, okay, maybe you guys can let me know. Maybe you know what's wrong with me.

But I remember exactly where I was when I got the DM. I was driving from LA to San Diego. We were going to go to Mexico. We were going to get uh tacos. And I remember I I know exactly what car I was in. I know exactly the people I was with. I remember the scenery outside. I remember all of it. And I don't know why, but that moment it was like my first hater I ever experienced. And I was like, "Fuck it. I'm going to lock in. I'mma walk in." And obviously the rest is history.

Now I do this full-time. I've employ four, five, six, seven people. I don't remember the exact number actually. Lot of contractors. Couldn't have done it without you guys obviously and your support. But again, I don't know what's wrong with me. But that moment it just like I just locked in. And I still think about it today like if I if I get content sometimes I'm like man you know all my hard work is paying off and like it's awesome to to reflect and like hey you're you're doing great but even today I just think I just like imagine that guy talking to me. I just imagine that that guy talking [ __ ] to me. And I don't know, like maybe it's something I'm I'm genuinely going to have to talk to someone as I get older, but I just have this inability to let my foot off the gas. I just can't. I just can't. I don't think I I don't, guys, my goal is to reach 100,000 subscribers by week one. If that happens, I will celebrate. I will I will 100% celebrate. But the next day, I'm not going to be satisfied. Like, and I don't know if that's unhealthy, but I just I cannot take my foot off the gas. I can't do it.

Um, so if there's any psychiatrists out there, hit me up. If I need to book a session with you, maybe I can figure out what's wrong with me. Um, so yeah, [laughter] some of you guys are saying that's normal. So maybe I'm not the only one out there. Someone said mamba mentality. >> [laughter] >> DGO says, "I'm the type of person to send that message." You know what's funny is like a year ago, I went back and I looked at that DM and I was I was like so tempted to message the guy. Uh but he deleted his account. So I was like, "Oh, okay. Well, you served me served me well."

Okay, back to the draft. Jackson Dart in the seventh round. Rashad White. I've told you guys how much I love Rashad White all off seasonason, but I refuse to contribute. His ADP getting too high, and that's why I'm not drafting him in the seventh round. Parker Washington off the board. We got Pitman. Pard that late is pretty good value. I'm not a Tony Pard guy, but if you [clears throat] can get him in the eighth round basically, it's hard to argue why you wouldn't at least experiment with eighth round Tony Pard. Uh, Centuro says, "It's the reason your content is so top-notch." I appreciate that. It was Sammy's burner account. [laughter]

Why Bree over Kirn, Javvante or Scat? I have Javvante, Bree, Kairen all in the same kind of tier. Um, I went with Bree because I do I am a Blake Quorum guy. I'm not anti- Kirn. I don't think he's being overdrafted or anything, but I do think that right now we're at a cycle where people are like, "Oh, if you even think Blake Corm is going to be important to the offense, you're an idiot. It hasn't happened yet." When meanwhile, like the back half of last year, Blake Corm was really important to the part of the offense, even into the playoffs. So, um, I don't think there's a player like that in New York. I it it really and honestly Javvante Williams is someone that I I might be highest on Javvante Williams of anyone on the flock site. I'm not 100% sure on that. I don't want to speak out of my ass, but let me see. Is there anybody higher on Javvante than I am on the Flock site? Um, okay. Yeah, there's plenty of people higher. Wow. But yeah, I think I think he's well deserving of a third round pick. Uh, you guys know that the last time I was live on Sunday night, me and Sammy argued about it for like 15 minutes.

I'm on the clock here at the 807. Cheat sheet says quarterbacks are the best available, but I just I don't think I in this format, I don't feel a need to go quarterback. Um, RJ Harvey in this format is quite enticing. I do like Rico Dattle a lot. Um, yeah, we'll we'll grab Rico here. You know, I want to hear you guys thoughts on this. We see Warren at the 66, Rico at the 87. Um, I'm seeing like this narrative kind of right now in the fantasy streets where people are are basically giving Jaylen Warren like more of the role that Gainwell had last year. And I keep hearing people say like D is is basically nothing as a receiver. I just I don't agree. I think when D's been given opportunities, he's been a pretty decent receiver. Um, certainly not elite or like excels in that area, but I don't personally believe that data is some super inferior receiving threat compared to, you know, uh, a Jaylen Warren. I I personally don't view this backfield where it's like, okay, Warren is clearly going to have this role and D is clearly going to have this role. I don't think I agree. I think they're both going to play um I think there'll be a lot of crossover is what I'm trying to say. I think there'll be a lot of crossover. Um, obviously the Warren is a favorite and he's deserving of being ahead of Dowel and I don't even think sixth round is crazy, but um I I I don't personally believe that there's going to be, you know, it's like, well, I promise, well, Warren's going to get every two-minute drill. Warren's going to get every third down. I just don't I don't think that's going to happen.

Uh, totally get that, Cryptic Rocket. But, uh, I feel as if Naji made more sense to like only play that role that he played. But, I hear you. Uh, Wild Dog says Warren will absolutely get most of the third down. I just I don't agree, but that's okay. I think it'll be much more split. Danny, you've got a big fan in the chat, brother. My worst team this season. I'll deal with it. 50% of you guys voted it to grade it out as a B. I'm pretty happy with the team so far. Mike says it's called succeeding out of spite. What does that mean? Like explain that to me. [laughter] Brash says, "Danny, would you come to my wedding?" Danny says, "I would, man, as long as I'm the best man."

When does that video come out, man? I'm not prepared. Ricky Pearl uh comes off the board, the 811. He's a name that I uh that I I have discussed in a video this year. I think it was this one. 10 players no one is drafting but me. Was this the video where I talked about him? I can't remember which which video it was. This was the Travis Hunter video, I think. Yeah. Uh I think it was in my sleepers video then. Or no, it was a breakout. He was in the breakouts. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was this video. I uh Yes, Ricky Piolaw. I like Persaw a lot this year. In fact, I've moved him up way higher than even when I had this video released. I loved Piersaw uh last year as a breakout. Personally, I I think Mike Evans is a perfect compliment to him, you know, and I don't want to say this and people freak out and tell me I'm an idiot, but I think this is if if Persaw can become the the potential if it can be truly unleashed, he he would be like an Adam Thielen like flanker inside outside type of player, I think. And I feel like with Mike as the X, that gives Persaw the opportunity to really have a have a lot of pre- snap motion and be lined up in a lot of different places. I like Psaw a lot. I've moved him up in my rankings recently. Where do I have him right now? I have him at 87. So, it looks like me and Sammy are the highest on Slick Ricky. But yeah, I just [clears throat] I can't shake this feeling that man, this this guy is probably just staring us straight in our face. I mean, when he's been healthy, he put up great numbers, wasn't he? I think he was like leading the league in receiving yards through four weeks before an injury or something. I also watched the story about him getting shot and stuff and that's a dude who's going to keep fighting. You know, a lot of people taking a lot of uh Slick Rick. Yeah, we got a lot of Ricky Pieraw fans here. I love it. I love it, Stona. I love it. It's a great offense to be a part of. Uh, man, did Courtland Sutton just last until the 904? Is that normal? Hold on. That's got to be the latest we've ever seen him go, right? Holy hell. He is everywhere in drafts. As low as 102 and as high as 64th overall so far. Someone do the math. What does the 904 make him? What does the 904 make him?

Uh, okay. We're on the board. Uh, oops. I accidentally clicked out of the cheat sheet, but I'll show you guys how easy it is to get back in if you're a land member. Here we are. There's the Justin Blackman League we're drafting in right now. I'm drafting at the six spot. And bang, we're back. Okay. Um, yeah, still still a lot of quarterbacks I like. I don't feel a great need to double tap it. I actually might go Gainwell here. Oh, Josh Downs is available though. I am going to go Josh Downs actually. Yeah, that's a pretty easy pick for me to make. We're going to take Josh Downs off the board. Josh Downs is one of those players that I have always loved. Uh like the the player Josh DS always loved him coming out of North Carolina. What's killed him is just never being in two wide receiver sets. All reports are that that changes this year. Quite frankly, I don't know how it doesn't change this year, you know, like given the fact that no Pitman, I just I just don't know how you justify not playing downs and two wide receiver sets this year. So, very curious to see what he will become.

The ladster says, "Zack, people, uh, Zach, will the people ever know of the 45minute argument the call had after the voting process for the Flock League spots outside of this stream? Probably not. I doubt we'll ever talk about it again, but um, yeah, I'll leave it there. Uh, what's up you blue? Hey man, I got great news for you. I've got a strategy video that comes out on Monday. It's the same strategy video that last year you guys helped bump to like 500,000 views, which is crazy. But that strategy video comes out on Monday, and there's a portion of the strategy video where I give you guys a list of my favorite late round quarterbacks and tight ends to target, and I rank them in order. Um, so that video will be coming out really soon. Brock Pury is definitely the top of that list. Uh, for me, 100% Brock Pur's the top of that list for late late round quarterbacks. It's honestly not even close. >> [clears throat] >> Jonah says, "That waverwire video had no business hit." Wait, well, I didn't have a Waverwire video hit 23 240. No, this this is this was like a stash video before the 2024 season. That was like a stash video. All right, Brock Perie, Trevor Lawrence coming off the board. Stunner says, "Downs will be a classic one year too early guy that we were all in on last year than his actual breakout year." Yeah, that's how I feel about Bucky. I feel that I I agree with you. But that's how I feel about Bucky. Okay. After downs, Leaporta in the ninth is is a pretty good bet. There we get Jaden Reed. Love the Corman Brooks picks as well. [snorts] Kenny Gain at the 1001 as well. Love Kyler. Yeah, the Brian Thomas Lawrence stack is really fun there for for Rowan. We got our commissioners in the chat backing each other. Look at the unison from the land team. We just got We just got all the commissioners, all the land commissioners in here showing love to each other. [clears throat]

Tyler says, "Who's your favorite team besides yourself?" Now, okay, I will do this exercise, but I got to be honest. I'm not going to then go into every team because typically what happens when someone asks me this question that everyone's like, "Well, grade my team, grade my team." No, I I I'll do the exercise. Let me see who is my favorite team outside of my own. Just reviewing my options here. Honestly, this is tough. This is tough. You've all drafted well. I really loved Wolfman's start through five rounds, like five or six rounds. Um, man, no one's had a bad draft. Yeah, you've all drafted really well. I like Cryptic start. Don't love Caleb at the 612, but I know that I know it could pay off. Probably my favorite start, my my favorite draft would be Rowan's. Um, the reason I'm hesitant is because everybody has strengths and weaknesses. Like if Rashad would have fallen and he was the third running back, I would have been more comfortable there. But yeah.

Uh, okay. I am on the clock in the 10th round. This is typically when I am looking for my first quarterback. And wouldn't you know it, there's a bunch here that I love. So, uh, we're going to go ahead and we will grab Bo Nicks, who by the way, everybody is just so excited for Jaylen Wadd. We're just so excited for Jaylen, the team last year that throw the ball more than anybody else, right? One of the highest passing rates in the NFL. No one seems to care about Bon Knicks though, which is confusing to me. Uh, because certainly the implications would be that this would be great for both of them. The same Bo Knicks who has been top 10 on a points per game basis in each of his first two years in fantasy football. I'll take him off the board here at the 107. had no scribbles. I refuse. I refuse. Vik says only pick I don't like is achan. I don't hate the achan pick. I think what I prefer at like this back end of the board is I prefer to probably be at like the 10 spot because I w to just have everybody make the decisions for me and then be left with whatever running backs lad says I'm not going to lie. We might need to six point passing touchdown in the flock league because otherwise the entire league may be the biggest communal quarterback punt of all time. It just it it's hard to make early quarterback make sense for me right now. To be honest, a block league outside of all these best drafts we're doing now, like every dynasty league I have, it's we do a six-point passing touchdown. So, it's interesting, isn't it?

What's up, Fritz? Welcome in, man. What's up, lumberjack? Lumberjack I can't spoil anything, can I? So, we get Rodriguez Golden Mahomes Coleman off the board. [snorts] Yeah. Is Allen going in the third in the flock league? Josh Allen. I I would guess Josh Allen goes in the fourth this year. I don't know if Danny has a read on that. Let's see. Where does everybody have him ranked? I mean, like, I have Josh Allen ranked at 31. I don't, but I I'm not drafting him just purely from like a team construction. I'm rarely ever drafting him. Uh, so I have him ranked as a third round pick because I think he's deserving of it, but I I don't see myself drafting him still. Uh, [clears throat] what's up, Brash? He says, "Which quarterbacks are better with sixpoint?" Sixpoint would make me prop up like a uh a Joe Burrow a little bit more, who, you know, we know can throw 40 touchdowns any given year. Uh, Brock Perie becomes more attractive. Dak Prescott, probably Caleb Williams. Thing is, like I don't think it changes much for me because yeah, the guys who throw touchdowns are in a better spot, but everybody still gets six points for touchdowns. So, it I don't think it really drastically changes much for me. One late round name I would say that it matters a lot for is probably Matthew Stafford. Like if you're in a superflex league with six-point pass passing touchdowns, Stafford certainly matters more to me there. Uh but it doesn't doesn't change a great deal of my strategy. Uh let's change the clock to 30 seconds. Rowan Let's change [clears throat] that clock to 30 seconds. Now we're in the deep weeds. Anytime Katon Mitchell comes off the board, you got to you got to make the clock quicker.

I am on the clock now. I feel super comfortable with this team. If this was a one if this was a managed league, I'm probably not going back to the quarterback. Well, um, even now I don't feel a great need to, but I also could see a run. Actually, I think we might see a quarterback run here. Again, manage league. I'm not even looking again, but I I could see a run here. Uh, and in a best format. When is golf spy? Goff spy is week six. Okay, I am a big Jared Goff guy. That's another name in a six point that would be propped up a little bit. Let's grab the Jared Goff stack with Aman Ross St. Brown here. Um I've talked about Jared Goff a lot as a really undervalued name this offseason. Um I'm a huge fan. I actually think that they're going to throw a lot more this year. Uh they've been a team that's kind of been branded as like a the identity of of a run team, but I do think they're going to be pass heavy this year if I had to guess. Oh, by the way, uh whoever wants in on this, you guys can get in on this. I just wanted to have some fun. I uh I tweeted this out yesterday. I said, "If Amecha Eggbuka doesn't finish as a top 15 wide receiver in fantasy football this year, I'll send $100 to a random person who reposts this." So, I am now going to send this into the chat. Uh, you know, it's just fun sometimes to put some skin in the game. It's fun to feel something. I'm a big Acha Eggbuka guy. Y'all know that. And the reason I tweeted that is because I put this I put this vague tweet into the world and then everyone's like ah he's not even their wide receiver one. So or like this guy who's like lowest separation rate in the league against press coverage now he's that wide receiver one combo is no bueno. Like this is someone who I'm sorry with all due respect you're probably not watching the stream but you have no idea how a is going to be deployed if that's your stance. like, okay, he's not good against press coverage. Great. He's not going to see much press coverage this year with the way they're going to deploy him. You think they don't know that? Um, anyway, here goes the tweet. You can you can be you can be uh in on the $100. And I am going to hold up to my word here. I even put there that like, hey, if he gets injured, I'll just bite the bullet.

Okay. Lad says, "Give me pickings is hilarious." At the end of the reply, as if they go next to each other in ADP, right? I know. Like dude stunner says egg is a my guy but a 100 is a hunted. Well it was funny because um someone commented they said something like no need to repost or something which I thought was funny. Oh yeah. Won't be wide receiver one on his own team. McMillan season. Look, you're not gonna have me hating on Jaylen McMillan. That's not gonna happen. Uh anyway.

Okay. So, after I take golf, we I thought there'd be a quarterback run. There's actually a tight end run here with Ferg Kelsey likely coming off the board there. Jonah says, "As a Bucks fan, I'm so in love with him this year. The team is all in on him as the future." It is a cesspool. Scribbles, you're not wrong in saying that Twitter is a very toxic place. Okay. What is up with the land commissioners and them drafting Chicken Conquo? I need to put like if you're going to come on as a land commissioner, I need to add a new stipulation that you legally are not allowed to draft Chicka Conqu. I need to add that stipulation in there. Uh, Scribble says, "I saw a YouTube comment today say CD should watch his back for Floreninoi." Ah, we're going to change the clock to 30 seconds here. We are late into this draft. 30 seconds. Again, you guys have a chance to win today's giveaway. All right. Uh, if you would like to enter today's giveaway for a 2026 season pass membership, all you have to do to enter is step one, like the stream. Step two, type the code word to for today, which is pass daddy. All one word, no spaces, and I will do that giveaway at the end of the draft. So, you have a limited amount of time to enter.

What's up, DP? He says, "What's the app called for the best ball? What do you mean by that, man?" Christian, I am getting a lot of questions about this. Um, I have it in my schedule to do the Superflex strategy video this year in August. Um, so don't worry if you're wanting a strategy video for Superflex. I did it for y'all last year. Don't worry, I will make sure and hook you guys up again this year. It just comes out a little bit later. Um, you know, I'll grab Daltton Concaid here. That's fine. I'm not really too pressed about who my tied into is. Uh, but yeah, last year I did a strategy video on Superflex. Yeah. So, I will I will do it again, but not yet. It'll be more like mid August when that strategy video comes out. [snorts] What's the cost of the season pass? Uh season pass is just 34 bucks. 34 bucks. Super cheap, guys. I mean, if you think about it, if you buy it today, it's like 20 cents a day. A lot of people are selling you a draft kit. That's not what the season pass is. Yeah, you're going to dominate your draft with the season pass because it has my cheat sheet. It has my draft guide. I've been using my cheat sheet all day. You all have seen it, right? Like you get this tool obviously inbuilt um Superflex one quarterback, whatever you're playing in grade your picks. It actually have my strategy built into it. But yeah, we're going to help you dominate your draft, but that's not where it stops. Most of the products people are selling you are just draft kits. The season pass, I mean, it's in the name. It is a season pass. It's help for the entire year. Rankings every single week. You get some vouchers to ask some trade questions. Um, so yeah, if you guys want to become a season pass member with the code land, I'll put that link in the chat. Uh, appreciate you.

Scribble says, "Zack, did you cheat in scroll in school growing up?" I gotta be honest with you, I would take every shortcut I possibly could in school growing up. Like every single shortcut I could take in school, I was taking it. If someone was willing to show me the answers to homework, I'm taking it and writing it down. Like young young version of Zach, 100% I will cut whatever corner I can. Uh, Ladster says, "No word of a lie. Don't see how any other resource in the fantasy landscape comes close to the product we got in Flock Fantasy." I 100% agree. Could not agree more to my core. Um, I am going to grab Charminet here in the 13th in case he comes back at the end of the year and matters for some reason. Jeb says, "Zack, if we get to a 100 likes, I'll donate a season pass for a second giveaway." All right, guys. You heard it from Jeb. What are we at right now? We're currently at 78 likes. So, I'm going to give away a season pass today. If you want to enter the giveaway to win a season pass from me, all you have to do is like the stream and type Pass Daddy. That's the code word, no spaces. But Jeb is also willing to give away another season pass. Uh I'm guessing he'll buy one or something, donate on the site. So if you guys want to see two season passes given away tonight, the like goal is 100 likes. So shout out to Jeb, man. Shout outs to Jeb in the chat. All right, we've got Goddard. Goddard's a decent pick, actually. Uh Tracy, Malik, Tyler, Dylan, Sadique. I thought you were using an app to the draft that you're doing right now. Oh, yeah. Sorry. I Okay, so I should clarify, guys. What you're seeing me use my ultra cheat sheet is what I call it is in my draft guide. So, when you become a season pass member with the code land, you can go to posts. You'll see this featured uh it says Zach Savage 2026 draft guide by land. Click on the post, it'll take you to the link to the draft guide. All you have to do is log in with your flot credentials. And inside of my draft guide, there's a bunch of features. Like I said, player takes, projections, vacator research. There's a whole bunch of stuff in the draft guide, but that's the the cheat sheet is what I'm using right now. So, that is the tool that I'm using right now, which which yes, it's not technically like an app you download from like the app store, but yeah, maybe maybe that makes more sense then. Um, yeah, I might just take another quarterback here. Just going to grab one more quarterback. [snorts]

Okay. He says, "I was talking about the actual draft, like how the hell do I draft or is it all private stuff? I figured there might be some public best." Oh, so you mean like are you trying to get into a draft with us? Is that what you're saying? Let me know. Are you asking me how to get into a draft with myself in the community? Is that I think that's what you're asking. Is that right? Let me know if I'm understanding that correctly. I like the AJ Barner pick. Kron off the board. My guy Antonio Williams off the board. [snorts] Oh, right. Yeah, I'm not with that company anymore. I'm not with that company anymore. Uh, but I do host community drafts if you guys ever want to get into a draft.

I mean, um, I could see Jawan Jennings have a couple like big games. We'll grab We'll grab Jawan here with [clears throat] Minnesota. [cough] Excuse me. Why haven't the commander signed digs yet? I don't know. I think his off-field stuff his offfield stuff's kind of weird. But I don't know if people are like monitoring that or something, but the off-field story is a little a little confusing right now to wrap your head around. [cough and clears throat] We got big I like the Bigsby pick there. Serat's fun. Bryce Young. I thought he was clear of that as well, but I saw I saw [clears throat] it resurface recently. Excuse me.
