2026 Fantasy Football REDRAFT! Who Should Go #1 Now? | Ep. 045 · Fat Daddy Sports

• 2026 Fantasy Football REDRAFT: All right, I get it. I messed up and I know that you did too. So let's rewind the clock a little bit. Let's go back to August and redraft fantasy football for this season. Welcome back to Fat Daddy Sports. I'm Craig. If you're new here, hit that like button, hit that subscribe, and let's jump into today's video. I want to take a little step back this week and rewind back to August, back to when we had so much hype for some of these guys. And now looking back, the warning signs were all there for some of these guys as well. So let's rewind the clock a little bit. We are going to redraft fantasy football for this season, knowing what we know now through five weeks. We're almost halfway through. The regular season already, which is kind of crazy to think about, but we are plugging along. We know enough about these teams, enough about these scenarios to know that we could probably make a much better decision when it comes to our turn in the draft. So let's jump into it. We are gonna jump into the random number generator just like we did this summer. We are doing a 10-team PPR mock draft just like we did back in August, back in July. We had One quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, a flex, and a tight end. No defense, no kickers, four bench spots, just so we can kind of get out of here quicker. But without further ado, let's do this random number generator three times. One, two, and three. We will be picking from the seven spot. This is a spot that I absolutely hated this offseason. we will see if it is any better here now that we are into week six of the NFL season. We'll jump over into sleeper. We will go ahead and select team number seven, and we will get this thing underway. So Jamar Chase goes number one overall. I don't think that that actually would happen. if we were to draft this, I think Jameer Gibbs and B. John Robinson, like they did all summer long, would go number one overall. but it is up to us here now at number seven on the clock. We take a look at the guys that are available: Christian McCaffrey, Amon Ra, James Cook, CeeDee Lamb. Saquon, who is obviously hurt. Devon Achan obviously hurt. Sleeper doesn't update these things. So we're going to have to really dig deep here on some of these players. Amarian Hampton. Yikes. Stay away from that. We obviously know how that has turned out so far this year. AJ Brown has been hurt through the first five weeks. We are going to go ahead and take a guy who is not in this consensus pick here at the beginning of the season. We're going to scroll down a little bit and we are going to take. Kenneth Walker, who has been absolutely dominant for the Chiefs so far this year. We'll see if his stats are up here. So he does have his stats up here for the 2026 season. You can see that he finished 34, 23, 21, 30, and then had his buy in week five. I really love this as my first pick in this draft. we'll go ahead and take another look here. Obviously, this is gonna be a little bit tricky because the computer doesn't know what we know. And so they're just drafting based on preseason ADPs. but we're gonna use that to our advantage. We're gonna take some swings on some guys and try to get lucky here. CeeDee Lamb did get banged up a little bit in week five. I'm gonna pretend that that didn't happen, but let's see here. Derrick Henry has been very good. Obviously, Josh Allen's been very good. Nico Collins, Brock Bowers. We're gonna spread out and diversify a little bit. We're gonna take wide receiver here. We'll take CeeDee Lamb and his four million targets through five weeks. Obviously, week five was a little down. George Pickens had a big game, but CeeDee Lamb has been very, very good. up until that point where he was kind of banged up in week five. You can see here 15, 35, 20, 41. Look at his targets though. Eight targets, nine targets, eight targets, twenty-one targets. And even in that game that he got banged up, still had five targets played on a good percentage of those snaps, fifty-seven percent. a lot of that was hampered late in the game because of the injury. but you see after that pick when O'Marian Hampton, Devon H. two guys that obviously were lost for the entire season. They got a good couple weeks out of them, maybe. Devon Achan was kind of good at the beginning. Omarion Hampton, I don't know what's going on there in Las Vegas or Los Angeles. But now it will come back around to me. I was really hoping that Bowers or Nico Collins got back to me here at the 307. we've got Kyron Williams, Jeremiah Love, somebody that I was very cautious of when he was going in the second round this offseason. Once he started to fall to this middle of the third, I was okay taking him. And now here at the middle back end of the third, I want nothing to do with Jeremiah Love. I don't know what's going on in Arizona. I don't know what's going on with him, but I want nothing to do with him. I want nothing to do with Rasheed Rice. Chris Olave has had a very good season so far. Kyron Williams has obviously had a very good season. I think that we can find a little bit more value at the wide receiver position. So we are gonna go ahead and take Kyron as our RB two. And it's gonna come back around to me here. Chris Olave almost gets back to me here, but the guy that I was hoping got back to me, Javante Williams, he has not really done a whole lot on the ground. He's gotten in the end zone, which has kind of saved his days. Let's look at his stats really quick. So twenty-four points, eight points, eighteen, thirty-one, fourteen. I mean Really nothing to to write home about 41 yards, 30 yards, 98, 62, 45. But you can see his touchdowns. He scored in every game except for week two. He had three in week four. That has really saved his numbers. He is running back number eight currently through five weeks. I think that he's a very solid pick. I don't really want Ladd McConkey on my team. Hit he's not healthy at all. T Higgins, same thing. Teneroa McMillan. Lookout. He is having a monster year so far. Omeka Abuka, we're staying clear of. Colson Loveland, we're gonna pour one out. I still believe in that. I still think here at the start of week six, this is the week. I've said it like four weeks in a row, but it's gotta turn at some point. Ben Johnson's gotta look in the mirror and what are we doing? Not getting him the ball. They're gonna start force feeding Colson Loveland the ball, but we're gonna go with Tedtero McMillan in this Panthers offense. They have been absolutely dominant so far this season. And we're gonna go ahead and take him as our wide receiver too. It comes back to us now. Zay Flowers, Garrett Wilson, Tyler Warren, DeAndre Swift. You can't go wrong with any of these guys here, these top four. Devontae Adams has quietly been nice. Josh Jacobs still hasn't been cleared to play here in week six. So we're gonna definitely stay away from that. I know a lot of people were taking him in their drafts, hoping to get a a steal. And maybe he will be down the stretch. I mean, there's a chance today he could get cleared. Who knows? Nobody has any idea what's going on there. Joe Burrow, up and down season. DJ Moore, if he could be on the field, he'd be very, very good. Luther Burden has been kind of a disappointment. We're gonna go back up here to the top, and we are going to assume that Lamar Jackson is coming back for this Ravens offense. And we are going to go ahead and smash Zay Flowers. He has been absolutely dominating. You pair him with Tet McMillan and CD Lamb. And this is a very, very good team through five weeks, almost six weeks of the NFL season. and then after him goes Garrett Wilson, who probably would have been my next choice. DeAndre Swift, Luther Burden, Josh Jacobs, Devontae Adams, Tyler Warren, and then it is back to us. Let's take a look at the quarterbacks really quick. All right. So we've got Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, Jaden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert. Nobody there that's really jumping off the page. Tight end, Sam Laporta has been very, very good. I I would like to try to get him. We'll see if we do go with him with this pick here in the middle or early part of the sixth round. But we've got Sam Laporta, Jameson Williams, Trabeon Henderson, who has just been ruled out leading up to week six, gonna miss multiple games. So be on the lookout for that. Jadarian Price is obviously on IR. Be shall Tutan has been very good so far. Hasn't had that true breakout, but that is coming very, very soon. We're gonna go with the tight end. We're gonna nail that position right now. A guy that I believe has a real chance of leading the tight end position this year. I kind of was onto that this summer. Thought Laporto would have a very, very good year, and you could get him in like the ninth round back when drafts were happening. Now he's obviously moved up a little bit, but I'm okay taking him here in the sixth round. We'll take Sam Laporta. So through six rounds, our team is Kenneth Walker, Kyron Williams, C D Lamb, Tedarola McMillan, Sam Laporta, and Zay Flowers. You can see same same method as I had all summer long, waiting at that quarterback position until round seven or later. And here we are now in round seven. Still don't have a quarterback. Would like to get some more running back depth. Kyron has been good so far this year. I don't know that he's going to continue to be great. This Rams offense is up and down right now. What they're doing doesn't feel very sustainable. So we'll see if Kyron can stay there. But let's take a look at the running back position and see who we could get. Jalen Warren has been very, very nice. Chuba Hubbard has been very, very nice. Ramondre Stevenson has been okay when he can hold on to the ball. Obviously, Travion Henderson is out now, so that should bump up Stevenson's value. Looking over at the wide receiver position, Dunze has been kind of a disappointment. Christian Watson has been very nice when he's not. Injured, which he hasn't been so far, and I'm hoping that he isn't for the rest of the year because he's put up a very good start to the season. Parker Washington obviously has had a good start to the season. And then looking at the quarterbacks, Dak Prescott's there, Herbert, Stafford, Dart, Lawrence, Mahomes, Bo Nicks, Brock Purdy is off to a very good start. We're gonna come back over to all here. And I mentioned that I wanted to shore up that running back position a little bit more, a little bit more depth. We're gonna go ahead and take Jalen Warren. We're gonna hope that one of these wide receivers, whether it's Watson, Washington, I guess maybe Marv and his new home in in Houston gets back to us. But if not, we could take a guy like Chuba Hubbard with our next pick. So we're gonna go ahead and take Jalen Warren because I know that he would not be there when it comes back to me. I'll take Jalen Warren as our RB three so far. And you can see right there, Parker Washington makes it back to us. Chuba Hubbard makes it back to us. We'll take one more peek at the quarterback position. Stafford is still there. Dart, Lawrence, Mahomes, Nick's, Purdy. I think we can get Purdy pretty late in this. And he has been pretty good. I mean, you can see right here, quarterback number two. And that is with like Joe Schmoe off the street at wide receiver. So we're gonna hold off on quarterback for right now. And we're going to go ahead and take Parker Washington, who has been very, very good. CeeDee Lamb, Tet McMillan, Zay Flowers, and Parker Washington. That seems like a crazy cheat code at wide receiver right now. and I really want to go Chuba Hubbard. What do you guys think? Let me know down in the comments. Would you go Chuba Hubbard or would you go Parker Washington in this scenario? Just with how banged up Zay Flowers seems right now and CeeDee Lamb seems right now, I'm gonna go ahead and smash the ad on Parker Washington just in case I need a wide receiver for the rest of the year. But Marvin Harrison Jr. goes right after that pick. And then Shuba Hubbard goes at the beginning of the ninth round. So it's back to us here at the 907. Michael Wilson is still there available. Is there any other late round running backs that we could get? Jonathan Brooks, he was a guy that I was hammering. like at this seven eight turn trying to to get ahead and I was wrong on that. Chuba Hubbard has been very, very good. It'll be interesting once Jonathan Brooks is back from the IR, how he gets incorporated into this offense. But Chuba Hubbard has been very, very good. Like Corum, I don't know if he'll ever get in there. His pass protection doesn't seem to be the the greatest right now. So Kyron Williams seems to be the guy. Kyle Manungai kind of the same thing. Swift has been fumbling a lot. So maybe once Manungai is back from his turf toe injury, maybe he can be the guy. but we're gonna go ahead and look at the quarterbacks. I still think we can wait a round or two or more and get a guy like Trevor Lawrence, who has been very good. I mean, quarterback number twelve. He did have this down week here, and even two weeks ago against Cincinnati was kind of down, but other than that, he's been pretty good. A guy like Patrick Mahomes, quarterback 16, but he also didn't play last week, so that counts against him. Started the season out with some big numbers there. But really the guy that we're probably looking for here is Brock Purdy, even Jared Goff. Both of these guys have been very good. And I think that we can get them late in this draft. we are looking at two more bench spots and then a quarterback. I think we could probably wait on that quarterback until the very end. We probably need to go with another running back or a wide receiver. So let's take a look at the wide receivers. Michael Wilson's obviously been pretty good through five weeks. we'll see what his role looks like after Marvin Harrison Jr. is now out of town. But we're gonna go ahead and take Michael Wilson on our squad. We'll add him to our bench stash wide receivers. And then it'll come back around to us. Jonathan Brooks goes right before our pick. I really like Isaiah Likely in this spot. I like Kyle Manungai there. Jordan Mason, I think, will have a good finish to the season once he is back from IR, maybe as soon as this week, with that broken thumb. Aaron Jones has had a very nice season so far, but I don't think that he has the body that can hold up for the whole season. I mean, he has been banged up in every single week so far. I think Jordan Mason is going to come back and take that job from Aaron Jones and be a consistent RB2. So I like that pick there. But I'm gonna go with Kyle Manungay, a guy that I think is definitely going to be the running back one by the end of the season for the Bears. I was a little skeptical at the beginning of the year, but Swift just continues to fumble and he is not getting it done in the red zone. I mean, he's getting the touchdowns, but it it feels like it takes him four or five tries from like the one or two yard line every week. I think Kyle Manungay is gonna come in there and be that hammer for the Bears offense. He's gonna open things up once he is back out there for them. So we'll take him as our final running back, and we still need a quarterback. And look at this, we were able to draft our entire team and wait on a quarterback, just like I said, all summer long. I know a lot of other people say to do that same strategy. But look at the quarterbacks that are still available here. I mean, obviously, in a a deeper format, a 12 team league, more bench spots, you're obviously going to take a quarterback earlier than this. But Fourth to last pick in the draft, and we still have Mahomes is there, Purdy is there, Goff is still there. I mean, even Jordan Love has been good, Tyler Shuck has been good. Darnold's been up and down, Stroud is starting to heat up a little bit. I mean, there are still Bryce Young has been excellent. I mean, you could take your pick of any of those guys. I I don't really I don't really have a preference. we'll go ahead and take Purdy just for the sake of this video. But you can see that waiting on quarterback, it just time and time again, it proves to work out. we will look at our team here. We've got Brock Purdy, Kenneth Walker, Kyron Williams, CeeDee Lamb, Tet McMillan, Sam Laporta, Zay Flowers, Jalen Warren, Parker Washington, Michael Wilson, and Kyle Manungay. All very, very solid picks. Let me know down in the comments where I messed up, who I should have taken. But through five or six weeks of this season, these guys all seem to be studs. Some of them I was high on in the offseason, some of them I missed completely. Let me know down in the comments. Hit that like button, hit that subscribe, and I will catch you guys on the next video. See ya.
