Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: I love my mom a more than anything on planet Earth, but today she's getting put on the line, all right?
- 0:04[SPEAKER_00]: Because I am betting everything that I own, everything that is sacred to me.
- 0:09[SPEAKER_00]: One of y'all will have a new mother if these players don't hit, all right?
- 0:12[SPEAKER_00]: Today's video are the players on bet and everything on in 2026 fantasy football.
- 0:16[SPEAKER_00]: My single favorite players in every round of the first 10 rounds of fantasy football draft.
- 0:21[SPEAKER_00]: These are the players that make me giddy.
- 0:22[SPEAKER_00]: You know when you're in the middle of a draft and you're like, oh my god, I'm one pick away.
- 0:25[SPEAKER_00]: Please let this guy get to me.
- 0:27[SPEAKER_00]: Please let this guy get to me.
- 0:28[SPEAKER_00]: We're like, I got a Q of three guys and there's three players that need to pick before you.
- 0:32[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, it's like that build up feeling of like, oh, I need one of these guys.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_00]: So these are the players that make me feel something inside.
- 0:40[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to start at the very top of things in round one and work our way down to round 10.
- 0:44[SPEAKER_00]: And here's the overall just.
- 0:46[SPEAKER_00]: I would say when it comes to fantasy football,
- 0:48[SPEAKER_00]: it's much more profitable to be level headed.
- 0:50[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's fine to not have a very strong opinion about 95% of the players.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_00]: Like when you do a draft with your friends, there's gonna be 180 players picked.
- 0:59[SPEAKER_00]: 200 players picked, depending on your league size, et cetera.
- 1:02[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to fully fade every single player.
- 1:04[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to jump two rounds of ADP of every single player.
- 1:07[SPEAKER_00]: It's okay not to have a super strong take.
- 1:09[SPEAKER_00]: It's all right to have the range of outcomes, just kind of allow your team to come to it.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_00]: But it's also all right to get excited, right?
- 1:15[SPEAKER_00]: And the round one players that I get most excited about, we won't waste a lot of time on the very obvious surefire things.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_00]: Do you mirror gits as the 101?
- 1:22[SPEAKER_00]: I only bring them up because I get a lot of questions at like, yeah, am I crazy for taking B-John Robinson over Do you mirror gibs?
- 1:28[SPEAKER_00]: My answer that would be yes.
- 1:29[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's a huge mistake if you're taking B-John.
- 1:31[SPEAKER_00]: or any other player over Jumear Gibbs.
- 1:33[SPEAKER_00]: The setup is unbelievable.
- 1:34[SPEAKER_00]: The offense is unbelievable.
- 1:35[SPEAKER_00]: They're letting him be the bell-cow this year.
- 1:36[SPEAKER_00]: And this could be one of the all-time fantasy running vaccines that we see from a running back.
- 1:41[SPEAKER_00]: And the Bijon Atlanta situation is spooky hours to put it politely.
- 1:46[SPEAKER_00]: As a Falcons fan, I think we're going to be a fucking disaster with the quarterback situation.
- 1:50[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 1:50[SPEAKER_00]: Stay away from Bijon Robinson at the 101.
- 1:53[SPEAKER_00]: Take Jumear Gibbs at the 101.
- 1:55[SPEAKER_00]: That first clump of wide receivers, I have Puka Nakua ranked as my wide receiver one.
- 1:59[SPEAKER_00]: That is with the possibility of a one-game suspension coming.
- 2:03[SPEAKER_00]: I love Puka.
- 2:04[SPEAKER_00]: I think the setup is eerily similar once again to him having a 2021 Cooper Cup-ish type of season.
- 2:09[SPEAKER_00]: You're not going to go wrong with your Marchation.
- 2:11[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go wrong with Jackson Smith and Jigba.
- 2:13[SPEAKER_00]: I should also say I am filming this on the 26th, so I'm sure 17 more injuries are going to happen between when I film this and when you guys end up seeing it because that has happened 40 times already this summer.
- 2:24[SPEAKER_00]: just to say, Pook is my favorite guy in the clump there.
- 2:27[SPEAKER_00]: The other two players that get me really giddy in the first round are running backs and that is Christian McAfrey.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_00]: People are kind of spooked by Christian McAfrey.
- 2:33[SPEAKER_00]: I get it.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_00]: Very high touch count.
- 2:35[SPEAKER_00]: Here's the thing.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_00]: I know he's missed a little time at training camps so far.
- 2:38[SPEAKER_00]: It is not serious.
- 2:39[SPEAKER_00]: They are just letting him rest out.
- 2:40[SPEAKER_00]: The remainder of training camp.
- 2:42[SPEAKER_00]: If you're not going into the season with, you know, high ankle, spraying, spraying MCL, full hamstring pull or something like that, I'm not going to predict you to get injured.
- 2:50[SPEAKER_00]: What we can predict pretty fucking accurately is Christian McAfrey's workload in this offense and it includes a hundred plus targets.
- 2:57[SPEAKER_00]: It includes all of the goal line work.
- 2:59[SPEAKER_00]: It includes the majority of early downwork.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really care if he averaged 3.9 yards per carry, 4.0 yards per carry, because the workload that he's going to get is an insanely high number right now.
- 3:08[SPEAKER_00]: Last year was one of the single greatest fantasy seasons all time by running back.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_00]: He has three of the top 10 best fantasy running back seasons of all time.
- 3:16[SPEAKER_00]: If he does that again and you pass on him, you're probably lose your league.
- 3:19[SPEAKER_00]: So I love Christian McAfrey and then at the end of the round, I love James Cook.
- 3:23[SPEAKER_00]: is like the other running back that I want in the first round if I don't get the very early tier guys.
- 3:28[SPEAKER_00]: James Cook is just attached to an incredibly good offense.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_00]: The bills are projected to win around 11 games per Vegas.
- 3:33[SPEAKER_00]: They live inside the 5 yard line and now they give James Cook the ball inside the 5 yard line.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_00]: over 300 carries, they gave him the extension, P. Carmichael's coming in from the Sean Payton tree where all they do is dump off to running backs and then the underlying other story line here is Ty Johnson's been out for a couple weeks.
- 3:50[SPEAKER_00]: They like really won't say anything about his injury, but if Ty Johnson ends up missing time, like James cooks his receiving workload, it is going to be a disaster for anyone that fades him.
- 4:00[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you can get James Cook into the world of catching 50, 55, 60 passes, he's cleanly going to be one of the top three running backs in fantasy football.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: That's the only piece of his game that he's missing.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_00]: The floor is so high, the workload is so high.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_00]: The offensive success in the system around him is so good.
- 4:17[SPEAKER_00]: That it's going to be very difficult for him to fail.
- 4:19[SPEAKER_00]: You get that other part of the game tweaking up there and it's game over traps.
- 4:23[SPEAKER_00]: So moving around to, all right, very top of the list, Chase Brown.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_00]: He is just the one of the easier picks in fantasy football.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, I don't even know what angle you can go to to overthink this.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_00]: Another one who's attached to a phenomenal offense, a guy who's now put back to back bang or seasons together.
- 4:40[SPEAKER_00]: He is their third option in the receiving game.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_00]: They refuse to add a third wider receiver or a tight end that's going to be a pass catcher of consequence.
- 4:48[SPEAKER_00]: They try to
- 4:49[SPEAKER_00]: They also have an improved offensive line with younger guys really stepping up and coming into their own.
- 4:53[SPEAKER_00]: And now it's year two of Chase Brown being the feature back, like, and they add nothing to that backfield to compete with him in any valuable situation.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, so much of Peer Island will probably plan like third and seven downs.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_00]: That's going to be 24% of the snaps.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_00]: Chase Brown, I know they don't pass the ball.
- 5:08[SPEAKER_00]: That much inside like the 10 and the 5 yard line, but there's a world where because he's on the bangles and they're projected to be one of if not the highest scoring
- 5:17[SPEAKER_00]: He could just back his way into the league lead in rushing touchdowns.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_00]: I know it sounds crazy because Chase Brown, you don't think of him as like their cannery or a goal line back, but because of how good the Cincinnati Bengals are, if they just choose to go a little bit more run heavy inside the five yard line, and I get it like why would they do that?
- 5:32[SPEAKER_00]: They've chased Dave Higgins.
- 5:33[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just saying the most valuable part of most running backs games are whether or not their offense is really, really good.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_00]: And Chase Brown's going to catch a ton of passes.
- 5:42[SPEAKER_00]: Going to live inside the ten and five yard line.
- 5:44[SPEAKER_00]: And this could be one of the easier picks in fantasy football.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_00]: Also a big fan of Kenneth Walker.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_00]: I know he kind of had like the foot scare yesterday does not appear to be anything serious here, so maybe you know some more news comes out in the next couple days, but that foot injury is not spooking me from taking Kenneth Walker in the middle of the second round whatsoever.
- 6:01[SPEAKER_00]: They just gave Kenneth Walker a shit ton of money to be the workhorse.
- 6:04[SPEAKER_00]: I think they realize that.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_00]: what they had last year as an offense is not sustainable whatsoever.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_00]: They ended up turning their run game into Rashi Rice screenplays, which is not something that they can continue to do and expect to have a high level offense.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_00]: You have my homes returning from the ACL tear like they're going to need to lean on Kenneth Walker.
- 6:21[SPEAKER_00]: He has a chance to score a shit ton of touchdowns inside the five-year line as well.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_00]: It's another backfield without any real competition here.
- 6:27[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to use him early.
- 6:29[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to use him often.
- 6:30[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to score a lot of gold line touchdowns.
- 6:32[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to use him.
- 6:33[SPEAKER_00]: on early downs in the passing game as well.
- 6:35[SPEAKER_00]: That's been a big talking point at a camp that they're getting involved with screens very early on.
- 6:40[SPEAKER_00]: It's very explosive, which is obviously the opposite of what they had in that backfield over the last few years.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm excited to see Andy Rie get his hands on like a real bell cow running back.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_00]: That's explosive and they can use all over the field.
- 6:52[SPEAKER_00]: So love Kenneth Walker and then I love Nico Collins, man.
- 6:55[SPEAKER_00]: He was someone earlier on in the summer that I didn't necessarily have a strong take on, because I was kind of anti the Houston Texans passing offense.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_00]: But now you have Jayden Higgins with the torn ACL.
- 7:05[SPEAKER_00]: You have Tank Dell who now can't really stay on the field for a consecutive practices at this point.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what his role is going to end up being in this offense.
- 7:12[SPEAKER_00]: The target chair for Niko Collins is going to be ridiculous.
- 7:15[SPEAKER_00]: They just trade a vacation on Boote from New England.
- 7:19[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's interesting.
- 7:20[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to like go ahead and project to heavily but I was pure x receiver on the outside for the New England Patriots.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_00]: That's, you know, that's his best attribute is like making plays down field and it's funny because they interviewed
- 7:41[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, OK, that makes sense.
- 7:42[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of times you see coaches like sign players from other teams after they make big plays on them.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_00]: And I went back and Boote played against Houston last year and the playoffs went 3 for 75, 32 yard touchdown, 2024.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_00]: They also played.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_00]: He went 3 for 59 and a touchdown, a 40 yard bomb.
- 7:56[SPEAKER_00]: But I think the way that they see him is this downfield playmaker.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_00]: which would be great for Nico Collins because he's almost primarily an extra seever as well, never really moving off the ball, 85% of his routes on the outside, 15% in the slot.
- 8:09[SPEAKER_00]: We want to get that number up.
- 8:10[SPEAKER_00]: He's also never used in motion.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_00]: And again, I don't want to like push this narrative that this is some huge transaction that's going to just change the way Nico Collins is using this offense because they don't change you off with the coordinator.
- 8:20[SPEAKER_00]: It's still Nick Kelly there.
- 8:21[SPEAKER_00]: But if this move is indicative of using him on the X, I think that's just more of a boost for us.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_00]: The target share overall should just be insane for Nico Collins, he is so talented as a player.
- 8:30[SPEAKER_00]: I also, you know, like I don't love the passing game for like what the upside could possibly be.
- 8:35[SPEAKER_00]: But because the defense is so elite, they're a 10 and a half win team right now, per Vegas, they should have short fields in like great field position every time they step on the field.
- 8:44[SPEAKER_00]: And interestingly enough, I was looking at Mike Clay's projections.
- 8:47[SPEAKER_00]: He does great work over at ESPN and he puts projections together for like every player, every team, every unit.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_00]: He actually has CJ Strowd projected for the eighth most pass attempts this year, which was quite shocking.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_00]: So I think when Nico at the end of the second round, you're kind of getting just an absolute stud at the Wider Seaver position, who's sealing we have not seen yet.
- 9:07[SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of his top target competition is likely not going to play a big impact role in 2026.
- 9:13[SPEAKER_00]: So, you want to talk about a guy that could possibly be this year's JSN, look no further.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_00]: We move into round three and at this point, Malik neighbors is just free at that two three turn.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_00]: You're almost never going to get a dude who's, you know, top three level talent is position, this late in the draft.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously, you know, the reports throughout most of the spring and summer were terrible, but they've been 180 turned around, you know, the last month or so.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_00]: He's shed his non-contact jersey.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_00]: Harbaos come out and said it's reasonable to project him to be ready for week one.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: So you're probably going to get a full season out of Malik neighbors.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_00]: No Wandell Robinson there anymore.
- 9:46[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, he might be a little bit rusty the first couple of weeks, but like you're probably getting 90 to 95% Malik neighbors for 90% of the season.
- 9:54[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, in round three, like Malik feels like the easy smash there.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_00]: He's usually the guy you got to target in the beginning of the third round.
- 10:00[SPEAKER_00]: If you're in a sharper league, he's going to start going at the end of the second round, even then I'm totally fine with if you want to choose between Malik and Nico.
- 10:08[SPEAKER_00]: I've been mocking sometimes at like the number one pick, and like one of my, you know, beautiful, everything works out perfectly starts as Jimmy or Gibbs, Nico, Malik neighbors.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_00]: That is a beautiful thing.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_00]: Devata Smith would be the mid-round pick on this list for me.
- 10:21[SPEAKER_00]: You guys know I love Devata Smith with AJ Brown gone.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's just going to step into this alpha role here and he's proven that he could do it.
- 10:28[SPEAKER_00]: Anytime AJ Brown's been off the field, he's put up incredible numbers going back to college.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_00]: He's an elite separator.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_00]: Like there's nothing else that he needs to prove other than the fact that he can handle this elite volume.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like a juju Smith juicer situation or one of those guys where he's not a man beater, but he's getting pushed into this wide receiver one out for roll because Antonio Brown and the number one guy leaves, a lot of times those receivers are not equipped to be number one separators.
- 10:51[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not dissimuth as proving that over and over and over again throughout his career that he can handle that.
- 10:55[SPEAKER_00]: So the about this myth, I think every single game you're just going to be watching Philadelphia and yeah, it might not be the prettiest, but he's going to go six for 75 and a touchdown.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_00]: Always gonna go eight for one ten without a touch on you're gonna be like of course He's gonna see fucking 40% of the target chair in Philadelphia.
- 11:08[SPEAKER_00]: They did draft McIleman in the first round But right now he is subjected to a slot only roll Dantevi and Wix is the number two receiver on the outside.
- 11:15[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, all right Maddy Smith is competing with Dantevi and Wix as the widers here were two there There's no reason that Nevada Smith cannot compete for the NFL lead in target share this year So we loved Nevada Smith and then a little bit more of a boring pick at the end of the third round would be Giovanna Williams
- 11:31[SPEAKER_00]: Another dude where, if you're kind of getting the gist of the guys that I've been talking about at running back, you want to grab guys in really, really good backfields.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_00]: Who even if they're not as talented as some of the Dumbier Gibbs's, B. John Robinson, right place, right time, often works out.
- 11:45[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at the top fantasy running backs, if you look at the top fantasy scores, the one who score a lot of touchdowns, you're over year over year, you'll notice the same thing over and over again.
- 11:53[SPEAKER_00]: Almost all of them, 80, 90% of them are just going to be in really good offenses.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_00]: There's always the outliers.
- 11:59[SPEAKER_00]: There's the A-chans who's incredibly explosive.
- 12:01[SPEAKER_00]: There's B-John who's just a freak.
- 12:02[SPEAKER_00]: But 90% of these guys finish his top 15 fantasy running backs because they're in good offenses and their offense allows them to score a lot of touchdowns because they're inside the three, two, one-yard line.
- 12:13[SPEAKER_00]: Javada Williams, this Dallas offense, like year two, with pickings and lamb together, fully healthy, hopefully they are going to be buzzing.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be scoring an ungodly number of points this year and Javada Williams is just going to be a long for the ride there.
- 12:25[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, Jay Domblus is going to have a little bit of a bigger role, but he's not an early downback man.
- 12:30[SPEAKER_00]: He's not taking any of the actual rushing workload from Juventus Williams.
- 12:33[SPEAKER_00]: I think he could legitimately score between 12 and 15 rushing touchdowns this year.
- 12:37[SPEAKER_00]: Moving in to round four, I mean, the most obvious like breakout of the world candidate is Ameka Obuka, right?
- 12:43[SPEAKER_00]: He was kind of on this list, I think for me last year, it's like a seventh round pick.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_00]: Now, you have to pay up a little bit, but Mike Evans has gone.
- 12:50[SPEAKER_00]: And yes, he's dealing with a little bit of a toe injury.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_00]: It was a toe sprain.
- 12:53[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, it was supposed to be a two to three week recovery.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_00]: And that happened about a week and a half to weeks ago.
- 12:57[SPEAKER_00]: We saw two more weeks before the start of the regular season.
- 13:00[SPEAKER_00]: There does not seem to be any sort of overwhelming concern about the toe for a mechabuka.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_00]: If that changes, if they're saying he's unlikely to play in week one or week two, maybe I push him down the rankings a little bit.
- 13:10[SPEAKER_00]: But as of this very moment, he is my 30th overall ranked player.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_00]: His ADP is at the 401, so he's technically a fourth round pick that I would be happy taking in the third round.
- 13:19[SPEAKER_00]: I think he is so clearly going to step into this high volume, kind of like move all over the formation guy, like Zach Robinson has been so successful doing with Drake London while he was in Atlanta and now he's the offensive coordinator for Tampa Bay.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think a mechabuka is going to be asked to play the extra silver roll.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to let rookie Ted Hurst do that.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to let Jail McMillan do that.
- 13:37[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to get a mechabuka running routes that are so fantasy friendly here.
- 13:41[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, a mechabuka is going to be a smash.
- 13:43[SPEAKER_00]: You can get him in the fourth round.
- 13:44[SPEAKER_00]: That's one of the better picks in fantasy football.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_00]: Running back that I do love in this round is Travis E. T. N. All right.
- 13:51[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you could pay up for the Javantes there, maybe in Josh Jacobs at the 3-4 turn, Kaiven Williams as well as probably a high floor guy.
- 13:57[SPEAKER_00]: I love E.T.
- 13:58[SPEAKER_00]: and at this point, given the Alvin Camaro news, he sprained his MCL and they said he's going to be out at least a month.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_00]: That is a pretty long-term projection.
- 14:05[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like a couple of weeks hoping to have him back by week one.
- 14:08[SPEAKER_00]: The fact that it happened and then they're like he's out at least a month, who knows at this point.
- 14:12[SPEAKER_00]: You know, do they put him on the pop list?
- 14:14[SPEAKER_00]: Does he miss the first three weeks of the season?
- 14:16[SPEAKER_00]: I already liked Travis E.T.
- 14:17[SPEAKER_00]: and I didn't
- 14:20[SPEAKER_00]: Other corners out, like there's no reason ETCN won't see a bell cow workload over the first month of the season, this is the same seam that I expect to be incredibly improved on the offensive side of the ball.
- 14:30[SPEAKER_00]: They have a fourth play schedule, one of the easiest schedules in the entire NFL.
- 14:34[SPEAKER_00]: They play inside in the dome on the turf.
- 14:36[SPEAKER_00]: High-flying, incredibly high-volume number of plays here, because of Kellen Moore's offense.
- 14:40[SPEAKER_00]: They are so up-tempo, Tyler Schuch showed enough that I feel confident in this offense.
- 14:45[SPEAKER_00]: They bring in David Edwards on the offensive line.
- 14:46[SPEAKER_00]: They get a lot of healthy offensive linemen back that were top to your players for them that were hurt last year.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_00]: This is going to be one of the most underrated offensive lines in the NFL, I think.
- 14:54[SPEAKER_00]: And like, each Yan can catch passes.
- 14:56[SPEAKER_00]: He's explosive.
- 14:57[SPEAKER_00]: They sign them to a huge deal.
- 14:58[SPEAKER_00]: Four years, 52 million dollars.
- 15:00[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he is their guy in that backfield.
- 15:02[SPEAKER_00]: And now that Camarse hurt, like, no reason he can't be a bell-cow there.
- 15:05[SPEAKER_00]: The love Travis ETN, and then I also like Colson Lovelin a lot here in the fourth round.
- 15:09[SPEAKER_00]: I think the bears passing offense is one that's a little bit difficult to project.
- 15:13[SPEAKER_00]: I think we've seen a lot of inconsistency from Caleb Williams as a passer of the football.
- 15:18[SPEAKER_00]: But what Colson Lovelin did down the stretch last year, averaging.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_00]: 18, 19, 20 PPR points per game is a needle-moving type of player and you know people like Luther, people like Rome.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_00]: I think most people have kind of come to the consensus that Colson Lovelin is probably the best bet to make sure that he returns value for you in fantasy football.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_00]: Remember, this was the very first thing Ben Johnson did.
- 15:38[SPEAKER_00]: He went out and hand-picked Coltson Loveland 10 overall.
- 15:41[SPEAKER_00]: Don't overthink that.
- 15:42[SPEAKER_00]: And if you do overthink it, that's okay.
- 15:44[SPEAKER_00]: Because the only player that I get unbelievably giddy about in the fifth round is Tyler Warren, right?
- 15:49[SPEAKER_00]: The Indianapolis Colts, tight end.
- 15:52[SPEAKER_00]: He was unbelievable as a rookie.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_00]: You have Michael Pittman out of Indianapolis.
- 15:56[SPEAKER_00]: You have outpair still recovering from the offseason ankle surgery.
- 15:59[SPEAKER_00]: You have Josh Downs who we just saw a report like 30 minutes ago.
- 16:04[SPEAKER_00]: So I can't give you anything more concrete.
- 16:06[SPEAKER_00]: But apparently he is now dealing with a calf injury.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know if it's serious.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know if it's day to day.
- 16:10[SPEAKER_00]: Don't know if this is an actual calf strain that can cause him a couple of weeks.
- 16:13[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_00]: They are very devoid of weapons right now.
- 16:16[SPEAKER_00]: And to other warn is unbelievable.
- 16:18[SPEAKER_00]: To other warns, reception line and Vegas right now is 74.5, that is higher than Terrell McMillan, that is higher than Jalen Wattel, that is higher than Luther Burtin, that is higher than almost all of your favorite players.
- 16:30[SPEAKER_00]: To other warns, one of the dudes that I feel most confident when you get in the fifth round and you just take him, you will have zero regrets about it.
- 16:36[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to wish cash, you don't have to theorize, you don't have to do anything besides be like cool.
- 16:40[SPEAKER_00]: I got my tight end, I don't have to worry about that position for the remainder of the year.
- 16:43[SPEAKER_00]: And if you've been following my content recently, you know that I'm starting to get

- 18:31[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so we're going to move right into round six, Jayden Daniels.
- 18:34[SPEAKER_00]: He is one of my favorite round six picks.
- 18:38[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's very easy to forget about what happened as a rookie, but he put up nearly 4,500 total yards over 30 touchdowns was the offensive rookie of the year ran for almost 900 yards.
- 18:47[SPEAKER_00]: Like the running backs that you're going to grab in this round are going to rush for fewer yards and your quarterback is Jayden Daniels.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_00]: So,
- 18:54[SPEAKER_00]: There were very few quarterbacks that had the type of upside that JD has.
- 18:58[SPEAKER_00]: I love the signing of stuff on Diggs as well.
- 19:01[SPEAKER_00]: I was a little bit spooked by the weapons group that had there.
- 19:04[SPEAKER_00]: But you had stuff on Diggs.
- 19:05[SPEAKER_00]: Now you can be the two Terry McCleuron.
- 19:07[SPEAKER_00]: Now you got Chiggy there.
- 19:08[SPEAKER_00]: Like I like what they're assembling in Washington there.
- 19:11[SPEAKER_00]: So, Love Jaden Daniels, the other players that I really like in this round are obviously Parker Washington, everyone's favorite player this year.
- 19:18[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's clearly emerged as the wide receiver one there in Jacksonville, at least throughout the summer.
- 19:22[SPEAKER_00]: He was a dude who just blasted off towards the last quarter of the season, last season.
- 19:27[SPEAKER_00]: They had three instances where a wide receiver went over 100 receiving yards in a single game last year.
- 19:34[SPEAKER_00]: Parker Washington was every single one of them.
- 19:36[SPEAKER_00]: I think this offense is going to be
- 19:37[SPEAKER_00]: Humming this year.
- 19:38[SPEAKER_00]: I think he is not only going to be a big reason why, but he's also going to be a big beneficiary of the offense, just moving chain after chain after chain.
- 19:45[SPEAKER_00]: They've come out endlessly this summer already and said that he's pretty much not coming off of the field.
- 19:50[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to play an 11 personnel and 12 personnel, 13 personnel and 45 personnel park a Washington's on the field.
- 19:56[SPEAKER_00]: So we love P. Wash and I also have started to move up Christian Watson pretty significantly
- 20:04[SPEAKER_00]: I really like what I'm seeing from the Green Bay Packers passing offence in preseason.
- 20:09[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't the most bought in on Christian Watson only because I didn't know how they were going to end up using him this year, but from what I've gathered and the way that I think things have played out, you're going to see Matthew Golden in a pure x-roll.
- 20:23[SPEAKER_00]: which is good for Christian Watson, because you get him moving around and get him a ton of easy separation.
- 20:27[SPEAKER_00]: And you have Jane Reed, in 11 personnel, we'll come in and play the slot.
- 20:30[SPEAKER_00]: But Christian Watson's gonna be in every single down player.
- 20:32[SPEAKER_00]: And what I like the most about what I saw from Green Bay so far this preseason, and this might be a little bit like Tim Foyle have Big Brain.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_00]: But I think the Green Bay offensive line is going to struggle a lot in the run blocking department.
- 20:45[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I think they are going to have trouble opening up holes.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_00]: I think we started to see that emerge last year with Jacobs.
- 20:50[SPEAKER_00]: And that was why he struggled a ton on the ground from an efficiency standpoint.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_00]: But I saw a ton in the preseason last game Jordan love attempted eight passes.
- 20:58[SPEAKER_00]: Five of those eight passes were under center play action.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_00]: Like play action helps offensive line so much.
- 21:06[SPEAKER_00]: It helps freeze the oncoming blitzers.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_00]: It helps freeze a lot of things that are going on and creates easy separation for the receivers.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_00]: It opens up a lot of gaps.
- 21:14[SPEAKER_00]: It opens up a lot of holes.
- 21:15[SPEAKER_00]: And I think with Watson moving as much as he's going to move in the role that he's in, plus Le Floor being a really sharp offensive minded coach understands the deficiencies in his offense.
- 21:25[SPEAKER_00]: And he's going to know how to mask them.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_00]: So we have a much more condensed wider silver room with no more Romeo dobs or dontevian wicks.
- 21:31[SPEAKER_00]: We also have Tucker craft working back from his ACL chair, which I'm not really worried about, but I think all these things need to kind of be weighed when you're looking at one player or the other and what the range of outcomes are for these.
- 21:41[SPEAKER_00]: So you have a condensed target here.
- 21:42[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're gonna have to see them pass the ball more and I think they're gonna be a pretty damn efficient passing game because the floor is a very, very smart coach.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_00]: So like Christian Watson and I just mentioned Tucker Craft, he is one of the guys that I had on this list.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_00]: If I can get Tucker Craft as my tight end, I feel giddy about it, right?
- 21:57[SPEAKER_00]: You can see I really like the mid-round grouping of tight ends and everyone's always like, I like to like pay all the way up or I like to get someone late in drafts, I don't.
- 22:06[SPEAKER_00]: I like to get a guy who's good that you can not spend a third round pick on that you can spend a fifth, sixth, seventh round pick on and know that he's a set it and forget it.
- 22:14[SPEAKER_00]: And know that Tucker craft is going to be there.
- 22:16[SPEAKER_00]: I'll have some ups and downs throughout the year, but he's going to be a guy that you can put into your lineup.
- 22:20[SPEAKER_00]: Him, Tyler Warren, a guy that we'll talk about in the next round, and you won't have to worry about it.
- 22:24[SPEAKER_00]: Like sure, some games they'll have eight or nine points, but they're going to be game to various 18 or 22 points.
- 22:28[SPEAKER_00]: And that's not likely being said about most of the tight ends that you're going to get after Tucker craft.
- 22:35[SPEAKER_00]: because I think they're going to have to go a little bit more pass heavy this year, which leads us into round seven.
- 22:40[SPEAKER_00]: And I won't bore you with the ton of stuff here, but Sam Leporta is around seven picked for me.
- 22:44[SPEAKER_00]: If I can't get any of the other tight ends that I mentioned, I love having Leporta.
- 22:48[SPEAKER_00]: I want as many pieces of this Detroit offense as I can possibly get.
- 22:51[SPEAKER_00]: They have Drew Petson coming in as your offense coordinator, which you could say which you want about him, but he allowed Tramic Bride to
- 22:57[SPEAKER_00]: Eat.
- 22:57[SPEAKER_00]: So I think the same is going to happen with Sam Laporta.
- 23:00[SPEAKER_00]: He's been banged up and he was at a practice for the last week, two weeks or whatever, but he actually did return.
- 23:05[SPEAKER_00]: So we're not worried about the injury there for Sam Laporta.
- 23:07[SPEAKER_00]: The other player that gets me really exciting around seven Trevor Lawrence quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 23:12[SPEAKER_00]: I just think what they've assembled around him, mainly Liam Cohen calling the plays.
- 23:17[SPEAKER_00]: He's clearly a very, very, very strong offensive play caller.
- 23:20[SPEAKER_00]: But then the weapons group, man, with Jacobi Myers and Parker Washington,
- 23:25[SPEAKER_00]: And even B.T.J.
- 23:26[SPEAKER_00]: is like the guy who's going to be your two probably three as a field stretcher.
- 23:29[SPEAKER_00]: He's a very dynamic playmaker down the field.
- 23:32[SPEAKER_00]: You don't have to force him into a role that he's not good at.
- 23:35[SPEAKER_00]: You can let him do what he does well and he's going to open up the defense.
- 23:37[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a lot of guys that he trusts, Brent and Strange is a very good pass catching tight end.
- 23:41[SPEAKER_00]: Travis Hunter is going to be a dude who plays 20 to 30% of the offensive snaps and can get in there for a few big plays.
- 23:47[SPEAKER_00]: Like I just think the floor is so high and Trevor Lawrence's rushing ability also probably
- 23:54[SPEAKER_00]: a year going forward.
- 23:56[SPEAKER_00]: So I think everything we saw with T-Law last year is sticky.
- 23:58[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to see that again going forward into this year.
- 24:00[SPEAKER_00]: So I, uh, he's my quarterback six in my rankings right now.
- 24:03[SPEAKER_00]: And as always, if you want my rankings there available on bdge.co Moving to round eight.
- 24:10[SPEAKER_00]: I guess a lot less exciting here.
- 24:11[SPEAKER_00]: I will say I this is like the antithesis of a guy that should get you getty But I'm really liking Michael Pittman, man I think he fits the Pittsburgh style of passing game for what Aaron Rogers is right now so much more than DK MECF
- 24:25[SPEAKER_00]: He came back after he came this dude who was, you had to throw him the ball behind the line of scrimmage, or he had to throw him the ball 40 yards away from the line of scrimmage, or you were really getting nothing from him, and I like that as a secondary player, but you can't run your passing offense through that.
- 24:40[SPEAKER_00]: And now you have no more Kenny Gainwell, I'm sure you're in the war and we'll get a ton of targets and we can catch the ball.
- 24:45[SPEAKER_00]: But I think Michael Pittman with what Aaron Rodgers currently is is kind of a great fit.
- 24:50[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Michael Pittman's going to go very underrated, especially in PPR leagues.
- 24:53[SPEAKER_00]: I have Pittman ranked over DKMECF.
- 24:55[SPEAKER_00]: I would take him straight up over DKMECF.
- 24:57[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to be a guy that catches like six passes a game.
- 25:00[SPEAKER_00]: Mike McCarthy coming in, like sure they're probably going to want to go run heavy as an offense.
- 25:04[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be a little bit slow, but I do think the transition from Arthur Smith to Mike McCarthy is going to see a pretty large uptick in the overall passing rate in Pittsburgh.
- 25:14[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Michael Pettman is going to be a big reason why.
- 25:16[SPEAKER_00]: So, Pippman and PPR gets me excited.
- 25:18[SPEAKER_00]: I like JK Dobbins as well.
- 25:19[SPEAKER_00]: I know people are kind of bored with him.
- 25:21[SPEAKER_00]: They don't think he's a good player.
- 25:22[SPEAKER_00]: We all love RJ Harvey.
- 25:24[SPEAKER_00]: JK Dobbins to me is a discount.
- 25:25[SPEAKER_00]: One of those, you know, running back set is just in a very good offense.
- 25:28[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if I'm betting on a guy being this year's Javante Williams, I like Dobbins.
- 25:32[SPEAKER_00]: Denver's offensive line, number one in the NFL.
- 25:34[SPEAKER_00]: They're offensive scheme, great for running back.
- 25:36[SPEAKER_00]: Sean Payton knows how to use running backs.
- 25:38[SPEAKER_00]: I think he can catch more pests than he did last year because Sean Payton's scheme just ends up dictating more receptions to running backs.
- 25:45[SPEAKER_00]: Is that his strength?
- 25:46[SPEAKER_00]: No, but again, right place right time.
- 25:47[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think RJ Harvey's a good runner of the football.
- 25:50[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's explosive.
- 25:51[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's a pass catcher.
- 25:52[SPEAKER_00]: I think they'll have plays drawing out for him.
- 25:54[SPEAKER_00]: But I think at the end of the day, JK Dobbins was a guy last year who saw 14 plus carries in every single game, but one before he got hurt.
- 26:01[SPEAKER_00]: And yes, probably going to get hurt.
- 26:02[SPEAKER_00]: But you're getting him in round eight, round nine.
- 26:04[SPEAKER_00]: The starting running back, a guy that they resigned gave real money to behind the league's best offensive line.
- 26:09[SPEAKER_00]: I think he can be a legit RB2 for you.
- 26:11[SPEAKER_00]: Low and RB2 for you for for the season.
- 26:13[SPEAKER_00]: The other two guys I had here, and I'm not really sure what to do with this point, considering we just heard the report of his calf.
- 26:19[SPEAKER_00]: I have both Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, like Alec Pierce, it does seem like he might be ready for a week one.
- 26:25[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't really seen him ramped up.
- 26:26[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to take him a minute to ramp up, but they did give him the contract.
- 26:29[SPEAKER_00]: So when he is healthy, he might be like a month where you kind of got to sit him on the bench.
- 26:32[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think over the second half of the year, you could get a player that's probably worth a fifth round pick in a normal redraf league.
- 26:38[SPEAKER_00]: Josh Downs at this point, a little bit spookier with the calf injury, the signing of Keenan Allen.
- 26:43[SPEAKER_00]: go four week one.
- 26:45[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm a little bit hesitant to say like, oh, he's guaranteed to be in every down player when Alec Pierce, Keenan Allen, Tyler Warren are all healthy.
- 26:55[SPEAKER_00]: Downs is relatively undersized.
- 26:57[SPEAKER_00]: And we have not yet seen Shane Sikin put that trust in Josh downs.
- 27:01[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe this is a personnel thing that forces him to be on the field.
- 27:05[SPEAKER_00]: But I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit spooked with the Keenan plus the calf now.
- 27:10[SPEAKER_00]: But round eight, I think
- 27:12[SPEAKER_00]: Moving into round nine.
- 27:13[SPEAKER_00]: We have cover running backs, couple more wide receivers.
- 27:16[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I think like a discount version of Michael Pippman is Wandell Robinson.
- 27:19[SPEAKER_00]: I think he is very, very likely to lead the Titans in both targets and receptions, Cardinal Tate probably have the most yards and obviously the guy you want long term, but Brian Dable comes over installs a brand new system, which is going to be.
- 27:32[SPEAKER_00]: So much better than what they had last year with Cam Ward, Cam Ward, I don't know if he's going to be good.
- 27:36[SPEAKER_00]: But Brian Dayball's call on the shots, he came over one of the very first things he did was give $1.70 million dollars.
- 27:42[SPEAKER_00]: He knows how to use him, obviously, from coming over in New York, 140 targets, back to back seasons.
- 27:47[SPEAKER_00]: I think Juan del Robinson's an easy PPR pick here.
- 27:49[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to go for more upside, I do also like McCye Lemon here.
- 27:52[SPEAKER_00]: The first round pick for the Philadelphia Eagles, he's obviously dealt with a bunch of hamstring injuries so far this summer, but he is back at practice.
- 27:59[SPEAKER_00]: He's not someone you're going to be able to put into your lineup immediately, but he's one of those perfect post-buy rookie bumps that can kind of explode over the second half of the year.
- 28:07[SPEAKER_00]: If this Philadelphia offense, which, again, I've talked about Adnozium this summer, it's going to be such an addition by subtraction, getting rid of Kevin Poutulo and implementing Sean Manions offense
- 28:17[SPEAKER_00]: that I think it'll be a night and day difference between 2025 Philadelphia and 2026 Philadelphia.
- 28:23[SPEAKER_00]: So McKay Levin's a guy that you kind of just want to blindly close your eyes say, oh, this is a first round wide receiver and bet on the talent in the ninth round.
- 28:31[SPEAKER_00]: The opposite of that, some later round running back to Jordan Mason and Jacoree Croskey, Marrette.
- 28:35[SPEAKER_00]: Now, JCM is apparently dealing with some sort of lower body injury.
- 28:39[SPEAKER_00]: It's
- 28:40[SPEAKER_00]: you know, mystery undisclosed.
- 28:42[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really know right now.
- 28:43[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you know, the later we get into August, the spookier that becomes.
- 28:47[SPEAKER_00]: So something to keep an eye on right now, if he is healthy and good to go for a week one, I really love the value of the Corey Crestman.
- 28:53[SPEAKER_00]: I thought he showed a ton of juice.
- 28:55[SPEAKER_00]: I thought he showed a ton of efficiency on the ground last year despite.
- 28:58[SPEAKER_00]: not really having Jaden Daniels for most of the year, so playing behind a banged up offensive line, playing mostly behind a backup quarterback, like I thought he did the best you could do.
- 29:07[SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's a lot easier for an early downback to catch dump offs than it is for a guy like Rashad White, who is notoriously known for being a poor early downrunner for him to get.
- 29:16[SPEAKER_00]: more workload there.
- 29:17[SPEAKER_00]: So I know a lot of people like taking shots on Rashad White because he's like more athletic.
- 29:20[SPEAKER_00]: He's a pass catcher.
- 29:21[SPEAKER_00]: But Jane Danger is also rushing quarterback.
- 29:23[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't really dump the ball off too running backs.
- 29:25[SPEAKER_00]: A very low target share for running backs since he's been under center in the NFL.
- 29:29[SPEAKER_00]: So I like JCM.
- 29:30[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously as long as he's healthy.
- 29:32[SPEAKER_00]: And then Jordan Mason, I've been, uh,
- 29:33[SPEAKER_00]: get a little hotter on as well.
- 29:35[SPEAKER_00]: It's listening to Robert Maze at the Athletic.
- 29:37[SPEAKER_00]: He goes, you know, you probably heard me talk about this, but he goes from training camp to training camp talking to the beat reporter from the Athletic at the training camp.
- 29:44[SPEAKER_00]: And he was talking to the guy in Minnesota and he was like, yeah, they, you know, they'll probably be some sort of a committee, but they are literally restructuring their run game around Jordan Mason and the way that the scheme was built in San Francisco.
- 29:57[SPEAKER_00]: They want to get the vote.
- 29:58[SPEAKER_00]: They want to maximize Jordan Mason's talent on the ground here.
- 30:02[SPEAKER_00]: And it feels kind of weird because it's like everyone always talks about Jordan Masons like underlying metrics like always one of the better like underlying runners in the game right now I don't know that you really feel that on the screen when you watch him so he might not be that great of a runner to be honest that you but I do like the situation because it is so murky Aaron Jones is obviously very old at this point though the ton of injuries over the last few years and again from one of hearing out of Minnesota camp like they want Jordan Mason to take this job and run with it.
- 30:26[SPEAKER_00]: So I like Jordan Mason round nine.
- 30:28[SPEAKER_00]: Round 10, I gotta be honest, round 10 is almost more fun that rounds nine, eight, and seven combined here.
- 30:34[SPEAKER_00]: So around 10, we got the strip club.
- 30:35[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how long he's gonna last for you guys in round 10, but the John's tripling out there in San Francisco.
- 30:40[SPEAKER_00]: There are early second round pick who's done nothing, but just make plays, play over play over play, over play throughout the preseason.
- 30:47[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the camp buzz, all summer was incredible and then he gets onto the field and you can tell he just belongs there.
- 30:52[SPEAKER_00]: You got Mike Evans, apparently reactivating is quad,
- 30:55[SPEAKER_00]: Ricky Pierce all obviously out for the year no more Joanne Jennings like they don't really have receivers and I think shribbling could be this power slot that is just really really really really good for Brock Perti.
- 31:05[SPEAKER_00]: Not to mention George Kill is coming back from the Achilles so Round 10 in casual leagues you could probably get him way past this.
- 31:11[SPEAKER_00]: I've done leagues already where the John Stribling went in the eighth round, so you're not going to be able to get him if your league mates are tapped into fantasy, like Stribling's not going to fall very far.
- 31:19[SPEAKER_00]: So if you want to go call your shot, love doing on Stribling.
- 31:22[SPEAKER_00]: I like Casey Concepcion, obviously you don't necessarily want to attach yourself to the Browns offense, but he was one of their first round picks this year, 24th overall, incredible separator, really good playmaker.
- 31:32[SPEAKER_00]: I like Todd Monkin coming in, like I really like his offense and a lot of people have made the comparison of using
- 31:37[SPEAKER_00]: Casey can sepsion in the Z-flowers role, which has been relatively fruitful for fantasy football.
- 31:42[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to use Casey can sepsion in, you know, a ton of different ways and around screens over the middle from the slot.
- 31:48[SPEAKER_00]: Like I think he's a very, very good receiver that we likely have to wait for a real quarterback to step on their center for him to like,
- 31:54[SPEAKER_00]: have a fantasy impact, but he's without a doubt one of the more talented white receivers in this rookie class, first rounder that you can get in round 10.
- 32:02[SPEAKER_00]: We could have said the same thing about Matthew Golden last year, but I do like Matthew Golden this year in round 10.
- 32:08[SPEAKER_00]: Again, a first round guy, a more consolidated target share, and everything out of campus that he will be a full time player.
- 32:13[SPEAKER_00]: He's running the actual reports have been really good on him.
- 32:16[SPEAKER_00]: I understand if you don't think Matthew Golden's good and you don't want anything to do with this, but I am more than willing to give him another chance in 2026.
- 32:23[SPEAKER_00]: Jacobi Myers has moved down to being a 10th round pick now, just because he's boring, I suppose, but Jacobi Myers was awesome for Jacksonville last year.
- 32:32[SPEAKER_00]: And I think he's going to be awesome again this year, and I just want to buy parts of the Jacksonville offense.
- 32:37[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, ones that I know are going to be relatively high volume, and I feel confident we could say that for Parker Washington.
- 32:43[SPEAKER_00]: and Jacobi Myers because they're kind of running over the middle and I think Trevor Lawrence proved to us that he trusts them significantly in that passing offense.
- 32:50[SPEAKER_00]: He knows they're not going to drop passes.
- 32:52[SPEAKER_00]: He knows they're going to be in the right place at the right time.
- 32:54[SPEAKER_00]: They have shorthands.
- 32:55[SPEAKER_00]: They're savvy route runners.
- 32:56[SPEAKER_00]: They make plays with the ball in their hands.
- 32:57[SPEAKER_00]: So Jacobi Myers in around ten feels like
- 33:00[SPEAKER_00]: One of the better value picks in fantasy football and we'll wrap this video up with one of the higher upside picks.
- 33:05[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're going to see in fantasy football this year.
- 33:07[SPEAKER_00]: That is Dawn Conquade.
- 33:08[SPEAKER_00]: The Buffalo Bills tight end who is not really put it together for a full season, but I do think we're going to see in uptick in snaps this year.
- 33:14[SPEAKER_00]: They go go from like a 50% guy to a 65% guy and his person at metrics.
- 33:18[SPEAKER_00]: His per target metrics is per route run metrics or elite amongst fantasy tight ends.
- 33:23[SPEAKER_00]: He was the first round pick that they are dying to become that guy, and I think we started to see it last year before the PCL injury kind of derailed his season.
- 33:31[SPEAKER_00]: Now healthy, he's one of the only dudes that's getting picked outside of the top like seven or eight fantasy tight ends this year that no one's going to be surprised when we look back and he's like, yeah, he was a tight end for on the year because he had nine hundred yards and he was averaging 14.6 yards per seption.
- 33:46[SPEAKER_00]: He scored eight times because he's attached to Josh Allen at some point my friends and my enemies need to grow up.
- 33:52[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 33:52[SPEAKER_00]: So that was about, I don't know, 30, 22 players that I'm betting my mother on.
- 33:58[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, mom, but I feel good enough that I don't think I'm going to have to apologize at the end of the year.
