17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 3: kind of I'm not fully paying attention to the draft,

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: and I'm not fully paying attention to my team, and

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: it's like such, it's like the one league that's so

20
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: different from every other league. So yeah, I'm gonna just

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: love it. I love the variety of the different strategy.

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: All right, let's jump right in to our tips. Sean,

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: get us started here. What are you kind of looking

51
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: at in terms of strategy when you're approaching Bestball?

52
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 4: So, I mean, the overall tip you should take away

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 4: is your main goal in best ball is to maximize

54
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 4: the ceiling of your team. So all three of my

55
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: tips will stem from this. And the reasons for that is,

56
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: unlike you know, season long head to head formats where

57
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 4: every week you just need to outscore your one opponent,

58
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: in Bestball, you have to outscore your entire league. So

59
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: you're gonna want to be more risky. Go for upside.

60
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: So that's my first tip is you want to target

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 4: players that have built in upside and or high variant players.

62
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 4: So by built in upside, you can get creative on

63
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 4: what that means to you. But usually when I think

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 4: of built an upside, I think of rookies since their

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 4: range of outcomes is fairly large.

66
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: In the enter of the league.

67
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 4: We don't really know how good or bad they will

68
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: be entering the league, so they by nature they have

69
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 4: some pretty built in upside. Or running backs like Tony Pollard,

70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 4: who is explosive enough to have spike weeks even when

71
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: Zeke is healthy, but his built in upside is he's

72
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: a top five running back if Zeke word ever miss time.

73
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 4: Or players who could break out after disappointing rookie season.

74
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: So guys like Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Cadarius Tony, basically

75
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: anybody that.

76
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: Can significantly outscore their ADP.

77
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 4: So you've got to get creative, and you know, looking

78
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: at guys that have built in upside, and by high

79
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: variance players, I just mean players who are volatile week

80
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: to week where they can post a gigantic score one

81
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 4: week and maybe the next week they put up a dud.

82
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 4: Think of wide receivers like Deshaun Jackson, Tyler Lockett, Will

83
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 4: Fuller or Mark Hezveld. That's scantling. You know, those big

84
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 4: play thret type of guys. And the reason is, I mean,

85
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 4: whenever they have a dud, you're not going to get

86
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 4: their score. But when they have a big week, you

87
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: get it and you don't need to figure out what

88
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: week that'll be. So that's the beauty of best ball,

89
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 4: and that's why those types of players are more valuable.

90
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really like.

91
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 3: That one, you know that. I mean, this is what

92
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: basketball is all about. You know, that's a great breakdown

93
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: of how you got to look at the steelings. So

94
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 3: I totally I think that's the number one thing people

95
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 3: have to take away from it. H My first tip

96
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: is don't handcuff. And this this is something that if

97
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 3: you're kind of more familiar or you started out playing

98
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: just traditional redraft, you know you might spend a high

99
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 3: pick on a running back. You want some insurance, you

100
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 3: start handcuffing, or maybe you do something like a you know,

101
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: a Caamara and Ingram or something like that Murray, And

102
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: I know it was in the years past as well,

103
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 3: but in basketball, you know, to your point, you're trying

104
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: to maximize your ceiling here, so you have to think

105
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: of kind of telling a story with your lineup and

106
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: looking at how things will play out over a full year.

107
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: And so if you draft a running back early and

108
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: you know you don't have you shouldn't need to handcuff them.

109
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: If you have to handcuff that running back, your team

110
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 3: is probably already sunk because that's just the nature of bestball.

111
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 3: That's why with basketball you're usually drafting you know, maybe ten,

112
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: twenty fifty, one hundred, even more teams depending on how

113
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: you know, how much of a degenerate you are.

114
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: But you're really playing a long game.

115
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 3: You're playing the exposure game, you're playing the portfolio game,

116
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: and so on an individual ross there. You know, if

117
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 3: I have Aaron Jones, I don't want AJ Dillon. If

118
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 3: I have AJ Dillon, I don't.

119
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: Want Aaron Jones.

120
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 3: You know, I don't even want like Benny Snell, if

121
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: I have Naje Harris, because I need to maximize every

122
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: roster slot for upside and doing you know, handcuffing is

123
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: just going to essentially it's going to raise my floor,

124
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: but it's going to lower my ceiling and where instead

125
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: I'm essentially using two slots for one, uh you know,

126
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: kind of one startable player, where I need to do

127
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: that per slot. I can't use two slots on a

128
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: one startable players. So don't not handcuffing. I think it's

129
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: really important. And and you know, to a lesser extent

130
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: just in general kind of not really rostering those reverse correlations,

131
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: like you don't really want to do quarterback running back

132
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: on the same team and things like that. Obviously you

133
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: can stack. We'll talk about that. I think you're going

134
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: to talk about that next, but not handcuffing is a

135
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: big one for me.

136
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that call because you know, and cuffing

137
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: it can be a decent strategy in head to head

138
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 4: because you're trying to raise your team's flour but in

139
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 4: best ball it's go big or go home, baby, So

140
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: why you know, mitigate your risk by doing that. So

141
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 4: love that call. So tip number two for me is,

142
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 4: you know, stacking one to three pass catchers with one

143
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: to three of your quarterbacks. So you know, by doing this,

144
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 4: you significantly raise your weekly and overall ceialing of your team.

145
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: So you're going to have you know, two to four

146
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 4: players every week where if they have a spike game,

147
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 4: that's going to correlate with each other. And this could

148
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: also correlate over the course of the season. So if

149
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 4: you take Jared Goff as your QB twenty six and

150
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 4: he finishes as a QB twelve, it's very likely that

151
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: am On Rensday, Brown, PJ. Hawkinson, other Lions players probably

152
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: outperform their ADP as well, Like that's how Goff had

153
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 4: a good season. Therefore, if you draft like an Alman Ross,

154
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 4: Saint Brown, and its TJ. Hawkinson earlier in the draft,

155
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 4: you should absolutely sort of go out of your way

156
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: to get Jared Goff. And I'm not saying take him

157
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: a couple of rounds earlier than you should go, but

158
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 4: if you're in kind of like a toss up situation,

159
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 4: you should obviously kind of go with stacking your players.

160
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: So I kind of use the first few rounds to

161
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 4: dictate which offenses I might want to stack, or later

162
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 4: on you can get some pretty cheap stacks, which we'll

163
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 4: talk about, but this is another sneaky way to really

164
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: raise the ceiling of your team.

165
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's probably you know.

166
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: I like to do it with as like all of

167
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: my quarterbacks if I can, I usually draft too, So like, yeah,

168
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: I totally agree. I try to do it as like

169
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: with pass catching as much as I can, and then

170
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: just try to build a good running back core around

171
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: here that that isn't correlated, you know, to the to

172
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: the pass passing games.

173
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: I guess you could say that I'm stacking.

174
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 3: My tip Number two is aim for sixteen full games

175
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: of upside, or just the maximum amount of games of

176
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 3: upside that you can get. And what I mean by

177
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 3: that is any game that a player is going to be, uh,

178
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: you know, in a starting role, in a major role,

179
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: is what I consider you know, maximizing a game of upsides.

180
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: So this applies in a lot of different ways. For

181
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: one means I don't want.

182
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: To draft players that are coming into the season injured.

183
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: You know, we talk about this a lot, and even

184
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 3: in redraft. I'm not a big fan of it, but

185
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: it's it's something like basketball. It's like I don't want

186
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: who's gonna miss two games from suspension. I don't want

187
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: a guy that's gonna miss games to start the season. Yes,

188
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: I know that, you know, those guys they're not going

189
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 3: to count to my roster early in the year, but

190
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 3: we gotta remember they're gonna they're gonna be volatile even

191
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 3: once they return from injury. So they're still not gonna

192
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 3: give me. It's not like they're just guaranteed to give

193
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: me all startable weeks even once they come back. You know, guys,

194
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about Michael Gallup, I'm thinking about Chris Godwin,

195
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 3: you know, maybe Stirring Shepherd, maybe Michael Thomas, guys like that.

196
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 3: I really don't don't want to kind of invest in

197
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 3: those guys because of the uncertainty, because I don't want

198
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: to give up games, because games are so important. In Bestball,

199
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 3: you only have a fixed number of roster spots, and

200
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 3: you cannot ir somebody if they're hurt. You cannot drop

201
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: somebody if they're hurt. So I need sixteen games. And

202
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: when I say sixteen, because you know seven weeks eighteen

203
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: isn't counting, So I know it's a seventeen game season,

204
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: but I'm saying sixteen games of upside. And it supplies

205
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: at quarterback as well, because what I see a lot

206
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 3: of people doing, and I think, you know, even I've

207
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: made this mistake in the past of kind of drafting

208
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 3: a quarterback that you know could win the starting job

209
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: at some point in the year. I really don't think

210
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: you need to do that in Bestball unless you you

211
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: really think that quarterback has a chance to start like

212
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 3: week two, you know, like like it's because if like

213
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: I rather get like a jaredga somebody that's kind of

214
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 3: guaranteed to start all year. Then, you know, taking a

215
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: chance in like a Desmond Ritter or somebody like that,

216
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: or even the opposite side of it of a Marcus Mariota,

217
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: who we don't know if he would start. You know,

218
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: he might have some big weeks while he's in there,

219
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 3: but can he keep that job all season? So I

220
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 3: like to take the unsexy kind of guys that are

221
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: more kind of locked in to their starting roles. You

222
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: know that Jared Goff, Zach Wilson can't really see any

223
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 3: reason why he would be benched even.

224
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: If he's really bad. You know, guys like that.

225
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 3: Because I'm really relying on my TB one to give

226
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: me a lot of production, and so my QB too,

227
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: I just need him to make sure that he's given

228
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 3: me solid production when my quarterback one is on buy

229
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: and just giving me a little bit more, you know,

230
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: of a chance on on weeks my quarterback one might

231
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 3: be average, and so I just need the games. Again,

232
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 3: So aim for your sixteen full games of a season

233
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 3: and try to maximize their upside that way. Don't give

234
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 3: away games, don't give away potential. You know, bench your

235
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 3: zeros just because a guy's not even in the starting lineup.

236
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: So that's how I play it.

237
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that call, And you know, this is

238
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: a strategy I do use sort of in season long

239
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 4: formats because I always say, if if I draft Alvin

240
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 4: Kamaroni's out the first six games, I could probably survive that.

241
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 4: And I'm really just trying to maximize my team's ceiling

242
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: in the fantasy playoff and I think I can still

243
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 4: make the playoffs even with the album, Kamara. But like

244
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 4: you said in Bestball, every single week counts, so you

245
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: don't want to forfeit games unless you're one of those tournaments,

246
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 4: you know, at the million dollar Grand Prize or something.

247
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: Maybe in those formats you are trying to maximize the

248
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 4: last few weeks. But yeah, great advice. And then you know,

249
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 4: for my third and final tip, it's all about roster construction.

250
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 4: I think that's your third tip too, right, So we

251
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: could probably just go through each position, just saying kind

252
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: of like how we approach it in general, like every

253
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: draft is gonna be different, but you know, when it

254
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: comes to your average, you know, draft three, draft eighteen

255
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 4: players start one quarterbacks or two running backs, three wide receivers,

256
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 4: one tight end one flex. I like to draft two quarterbacks.

257
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: You know, like you said, you run it. You want

258
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 4: to draft two quarterbacks that you can prodraft safely for

259
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 4: sixteen more games, So I don't get crazy there. You

260
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 4: don't have to draft early. You just want two good quarterbacks.

261
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: I rarely take three sometimes, you know, if you take

262
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 4: a gamble on a guy like you said, like I

263
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 4: wouldn't do it. But in Mitch Truebisky, a player you

264
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: can't bank on starting the whole season, you're gonna have

265
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: to take another quarterback. Or if you screw up and

266
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 4: take two qbs out of the same bye week, you

267
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 4: gotta take a third quarterback.

268
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: But in general, I try to draft two exactly, and I.

269
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: Would I would just add on to that, and like,

270
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 3: if I'm drafting a Mitch Trubisky, a week one starter

271
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 3: that doesn't have job security, Marcus Mariot is another one.

272
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: I think that comes to mind.

273
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 3: Mate, whoever starts in Seattle as well, Still drafting two quarterbacks,

274
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: because what I'm saying is that, Okay, this is a

275
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: bet on Marcus Mariota starting six seventeen games. This is

276
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: a bet on miss Mitch true and it's a low

277
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 3: risk you know, it's it's kind of like a low

278
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 3: risk bet.

279
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's a QB two.

280
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: Obviously things could go wrong, maybe maybe he loses his

281
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 3: job in week eight, but you still have a QB

282
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: one that should be decent enough to still carry you

283
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 3: through those weeks. So I'm actually I really because I

284
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: think a lot of times what can happen is you

285
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: can compound the issue to it, like if let's say

286
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: you hit on Mitch Trubisky, right, like, then you don't

287
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 3: need that third quarterback, right So I actually always kind

288
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: of draft two quarterbacks and just treat it as a bet.

289
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: Now, I don't like to go there, but if I.

290
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: Do, that's what I'm gonna do, be cause I think

291
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 3: if I if I hit on true, if I hit

292
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: on my QB one, and I hit on Trubisky or Mariota,

293
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 3: then that third roster spot is wasted. So I'm I'm

294
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: actually a pretty strict two QB guy.

295
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it makes well to be honest. When you're drafting Truebisky,

296
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: there's not much else you can do. But I agree

297
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 4: that that kind of goes with the go big or

298
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 4: go home, yeah aspect, and you could you could do

299
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: the other way, a guy like Desmond Ritter who probably

300
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 4: won't start Week one, but he has the potential to

301
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: start earlier in the season, So your first quarterback would

302
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 4: have to carry you until their bye week, and then

303
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 4: you're kind of banking on Ridder having the starting job

304
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 4: by then. So you can go both ways, but either

305
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 4: way it definitely goes with the go big or go

306
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 4: home strategy that you should have when you're drafting in

307
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 4: Best ball. Yep, yeah, so yeah, so running backs, I

308
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 4: typically like to draft about five exactly, and head ahead formats,

309
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: you know me like, I like to have my entire

310
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: bench full of just you know, high upside backup running

311
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: backs ready to go.

312
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: But you can't do that in best ball.

313
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: Like you said, you know, if you have Alexander Madison

314
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 4: on your team and he's turned out zero points, that's useless.

315
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 4: So he'll only provide you value if and when Dalvin

316
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: Cookness is time.

317
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: That's a bit dicey.

318
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 4: In best ball, I certainly think you could draft one

319
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 4: of those players, but you want to draft three to

320
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 4: five running backs that you can kind of count on,

321
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 4: you know, at least ten games of production each doesn't

322
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 4: mean you need to draft them early.

323
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: I don't think you need.

324
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: To draft three running backs really early in the draft,

325
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 4: but you got to be smart about it. And typically

326
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: if you draft five running backs and you're smart about.

327
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: It, that should be fine. I don't when you.

328
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: Draft more than that, you're kind of just lowering your

329
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 4: team ceiling a little bit. You could draft you know,

330
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 4: three or four and just be super aggressive. That's one

331
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 4: way to do it. But in general, I think five

332
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 4: is the magic number for me.

333
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, same way.

334
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: I'm pretty strict on roster construction with that, so I'll

335
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: get into it more, but I totally agree.

336
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 4: And then you know, wide receiver, I think this is

337
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 4: the position you want to build out the most depth.

338
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 4: So I typically have seven to eight wide receivers. Sometimes

339
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 4: I go up to ten depending on how things are going.

340
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 4: But you know, wide receivers are pretty volatile week to week,

341
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: so since you have to start three of them each week,

342
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 4: it's smart to have a lot of different options, and

343
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 4: any excess high scores that you have can be used

344
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 4: in your flex. So just having a ton of ride

345
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 4: receivers is just a good strategy in general. And that's

346
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 4: a position I do like to target early on. You know,

347
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 4: we talked about it. It's really hard to kind of

348
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 4: hit on these lower end receivers later in the draft.

349
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 4: It's it's really hard for them to really step up

350
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 4: in terms of a running back. You know, a backup

351
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 4: running back just needs one injury and they can you know,

352
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 4: become an RB one or or RB two wide receiver.

353
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 4: It's a little bit more difficult. So I do like

354
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 4: to invest early and often in wide receiver because you

355
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 4: really want to fill out you know, seven to nine

356
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 4: wide receivers in most builds.

357
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree.

358
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: That's like, that's that's the position that matters the most

359
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 3: because it's it's you're not going to find those like

360
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: those like a third backup running back is not going

361
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,239
Speaker 3: to like unless somebody gets hurt. They they're not going

362
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 3: to give you like one of those big games you

363
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 3: need for best ball, whereas like a third or fourth

364
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: receiver could. So you like those those draft picks are

365
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 3: important too, Like later on in a draft, I think

366
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 3: a lot of people are just kind of going through

367
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: the motion sometimes, but those kicks are really important.

368
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: Yep.

369
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And then tight end, you know, I think two

370
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 4: to three makes sense. You know, maybe you want to

371
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 4: get a top five or seven tight end early and

372
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 4: then you could get two cheaper ones later. But the

373
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 4: tight end position is sort of touchdown dependent, which does bogel.

374
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 4: For best ball, you don't need to kind of figure

375
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 4: out when a guy like a Hunter Henry will score

376
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 4: a touchdown. You just get the spiked weeks when they happen.

377
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 4: So it's kind of nice in that regard. You know,

378
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 4: tight end two three kind of guys can be frustrating

379
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 4: in season long leagues, but in best ball, it's pretty

380
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 4: easy to kind of have a nice little two to

381
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 4: three tight end combo where you don't really need to

382
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: spend up for two of them. So I'd probably like

383
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 4: to spend up for one and then just try to

384
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 4: find two diamonds in the rough.

385
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: So I usually end up a two to three tight ends.

386
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: How about you?

387
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm usually going for two. It's kind of the same.

388
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of that same strategy.

389
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 3: Thing as quarterbacks, where it's like, I'm really relying on

390
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: my peak tight end number one. You know, if I

391
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 3: with my tight end number one, I'm probably not winning

392
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 3: a Best Ball week, right, you know. It's just like

393
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: so my tight end two is just kind of to

394
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: give me, you know, not. No tight end is going

395
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: to have like every single week, one hundred percent started

396
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: a week, So just trying to get through and kind

397
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: of covers for some of those, you know, the few

398
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: down weeks that they do have in the bye week.

399
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: If I taking a third one, because tight ends average

400
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 3: fewer points than any other position, I just feel like

401
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: it's kind of it's kind of the same thing as

402
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 3: taking like a third quarterback.

403
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: It's like you shouldn't need it.

404
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: If you do, you're probably not in a position to

405
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 3: win your league anyway, which means you don't need it.

406
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: So that that kind of goes into my third tip,

407
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: which is I'm actually pretty strict two quarterback to tight end.

408
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: And but my advice on top of that is, go

409
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 3: into the last two rounds of the draft, like make

410
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 3: sure even if you do differ a little bit in

411
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: your philosophy and maybe you do want a third tight

412
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: and maybe you do want a third quarterback, definitely don't

413
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 3: take that player for.

414
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: The last two rounds.

415
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: Like I always have that maximum roster flexibility going into

416
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 3: the last two rounds, so you can look at your

417
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 3: roster and say, if you do have to, you know,

418
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 3: deviate from the norm with your roster construction, you have

419
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 3: the flexibility to do it based on what you've built

420
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: so far. So let's say, you know, let's say, like

421
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 3: you said, sometimes you can do four running backs, Like

422
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: if I if I took running backs in rounds one

423
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: through four, maybe let's say I'm I'm counting on those guys,

424
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 3: Like I have four guys in the top four rounds,

425
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 3: I probably don't need that running back five, So I

426
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: don't want to like take a you know, take some

427
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 3: guy in the thirteenth or fourteenth round just to have

428
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: that fifth running back. If I if i'm if I

429
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: know that I'm going to get to the like round

430
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: seventeen and eighteen and say, hey, you know what, maybe

431
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 3: I don't need another running back. Maybe because I waited

432
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 3: till the fifth round to take a receiver. Maybe I

433
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 3: want to go with you know, eight receivers instead of

434
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 3: or nine receivers here in this spot. So I think

435
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: I think kind of maintaining your roster flexibility with an

436
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 3: eye on always being able to maximize your receivers as

437
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: you mentioned, is key because I think, so you don't

438
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: want to have too many quarterback You don't want to

439
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: have more than two quarterbacks, you don't have more than

440
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 3: two tight ends, and you definitely don't want to have

441
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 3: more than five running backs. I've taken six on occasion,

442
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 3: but I don't want to go into the last two

443
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 3: rounds with with sick. You know, I want to have

444
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 3: that opportunity to look at my roster and say, you know,

445
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 3: I'm sitting there and I have the choice between maybe

446
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: a running back or a receiver, and I say, okay,

447
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 3: maybe this team's like fourth wide receiver. Like maybe I

448
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 3: can get like a guy like I don't know, like

449
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: on a really good passing team and get their like

450
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 3: third or fourth wide receiver cheap. And I already have

451
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 3: the quarterback. I'm saying, Okay, this might actually give my

452
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 3: line up more upside here then uh, you know, just

453
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: taking another running back who I don't think is really

454
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 3: going to be useful anyway, or something like that.

455
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: Or so I.

456
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 3: Always always have that flexibility and just build the core

457
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 3: of your team kind of early and then leave those

458
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 3: last couple of rounds, you know, for maximum flexibility. Don't

459
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 3: kind of paint yourself into a corner with you know,

460
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 3: two three quarterbacks, three tight ends, you know, too many

461
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 3: running backs or anything like that. Yep, exactly, all right,

462
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 3: let's uh, let's jump into uh each position, and uh,

463
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 3: we'll just talk briefly about a player that we kind

464
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 3: of like, particularly for best ball. Akau hot guy, we

465
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 3: expect to be a little bit high variants or high

466
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 3: ceiling or both.

467
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 4: Sean start us out with quarterback. So obviously on my

468
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 4: our last pot, I made a very clear Jalen Hurts

469
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 4: is my main QB target in all formats. He's phenomenal

470
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 4: for best ball. But I did notice that Tom Brady

471
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 4: his ADP is slipping a bit in bastball. His ADP

472
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 4: is down to QB ten, and I think people are

473
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 4: correct in sort of downgrading him. With Antonio Brown, Rob

474
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 4: Gronkowski being gone, Chris Godman, Godwin might not be available

475
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 4: in the first few games, Bruce Arians and Pro Bowl

476
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 4: left guard Ali Marpette retired, there's a lot of things

477
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 4: to be concerned about. But you know, he might not

478
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 4: put up the same numbers as last year, but he'll

479
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 4: still be good. And just because he doesn't have rushing

480
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 4: upside doesn't mean that Brady doesn't have weekly upside. He

481
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 4: was the QB two and best ball points added last year.

482
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 4: He's gonna get you a ton of free touchdown games,

483
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 4: four hundred yard passing games, so he does have a

484
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 4: high weekly ceiling. But also I think this offense is

485
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 4: going to be much cheaper to stack this year and

486
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 4: more concentrated. I'll talk about later when we talk about

487
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 4: the stacks, but you know, Mike Evans should have a

488
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 4: big year. Russell Gage, could you know, fill in the

489
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 4: Antonio Brown role.

490
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 2: Brown role.

491
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 4: Camp Brake is gonna step in for ground. So I

492
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 4: think this offense as a hole is going to be

493
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 4: cheaper to stack. Starting with Tom Brady at QB ten.

494
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it just seems silly, and I think,

495
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 3: you know, I kind of want us to get some

496
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 3: angry Tom this year because you know, I don't know

497
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 3: if you've been reading ESPN's been doing, like the they

498
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 3: kind of interview a bunch of personnel executives and people

499
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 3: around the league and get these top ten lists of

500
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 3: each position, and for quarterback, Tom Brady was fourth. He

501
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 3: was behind Rogers, Mahomes, and Josh Allen. So like, I

502
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 3: think we could get some angry Tom this year. You know,

503
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: like he's QB four and those rankings, he's QB ten

504
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 3: and Fantasy like the disrespect is crazy right now, just couldn't.

505
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 4: This might be his last season, so that's even more motivation, right.

506
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean he retired and came back, so

507
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 3: he's clearly got the urge. Like he's not you know,

508
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: he's not satisfied yet.

509
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, exactly.

510
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, anytime you can get the guy like QB ten

511
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: who has like QB one overall, and you know, quarterbacks

512
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 3: score the most point so therefore like Fantasy number one

513
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 3: overall upside, I think I think you take it. Yeah

514
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 3: for me, Daniel Jones, he's the QB twenty one in

515
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 3: basketball ADP. I talked about this on a few pods here,

516
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 3: but he was eighteenth in points per game and one

517
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 3: quarterbacks last year he had you know about just under

518
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: thirty percent of the time he had a twenty one

519
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 3: plus point game, but then there was a big gap

520
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: where the rest of his games were sixteen you know,

521
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 3: sixteen and a half points.

522
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: They're fewer.

523
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 3: So you know, betting on Daniel Jones this year the

524
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 3: line is better. Uh, you know, they he should have

525
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 3: healthier receivers. They got another kind of explosive guy in

526
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: Jandale Robinson, So I think you're just kind of betting

527
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 3: that you know, that that gap. You know, I think

528
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: he's still going to have that gap and have some

529
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 3: some of those bad games, but just kind of betting

530
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 3: on the percentage of good games kind of increases under

531
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 3: you know, Brian Dable and this new coaching regime. You

532
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 3: know we saw uh Dave will do the same thing

533
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 3: for Josh Allen and Buffalo and even Daniel Jones.

534
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: Like we've seen.

535
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones put up some high upside performances. You know,

536
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 3: his rookie year he had three games with four or

537
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 3: more touchdown passes, he had, he had a few three

538
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 3: hundred plus yard games, and we know he could do

539
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 3: it with his legs as well. So there's a lot

540
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 3: of different ways that we've already seen Daniel Jones produced

541
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 3: upside in this league, and now I think you could

542
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: take a very low risk bet on him doing so

543
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: again at a higher equip that he has in the

544
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: past few years in what was just a bad situation.

545
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was gonna know I picked if it wasn't

546
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 4: Tom Brady, and he fits my number one tip. You know,

547
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 4: a player with built in upside and high variants, obviously

548
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 4: he's going to have some duds. We're well aware of that,

549
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 4: but he has some massive upside. You know, he can

550
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 4: have some flukey games throwing the ball, you know, a

551
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 4: few touchdowns, and he has a pretty significant rushing upside.

552
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 4: So in this you know, new scheme under dable, the

553
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 4: sky's limit for him. So love getting him outside of

554
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 4: the top twenty for sure. All right, let's jump to

555
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 4: run back.

556
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: Who you got?

557
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 4: It's Cream Hunt and he's really the ideal running back

558
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 4: and basically all formats in the middle rounds, I always

559
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 4: say he aj Dillon, Tony Pollard, those kind of guys

560
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 4: I really like to target in the middle rounds. But

561
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 4: in best ball, you know his ADP is running me

562
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 4: at thirty. That's highway, Robert. I mean, he will probably

563
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 4: outscore that. Even if Nick Chubb is healthy all season.

564
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 4: Cream Hunt Hell, he was the RB eight after six

565
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 4: games last year when Nick Chubb was fully healthy. And

566
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 4: then if and when Chubb ort to miss time, Cream

567
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 4: Hunt is probably gonna be a top five running back.

568
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 4: So that's that's what I'm talking about. With built in upside.

569
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 4: He's gonna have spiked weeks no matter what. But he

570
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 4: can have some really spiked weeks if Chubb or at

571
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 4: a miss time. And also you know they might have

572
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 4: to start Jacoby Brissett for the first four, maybe all

573
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 4: seventeen games this year, depending on Deshaun Watson, so they

574
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 4: could be an even more run and heavy team. And

575
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 4: they do like to limit Chubb, you know, fifteen to

576
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 4: seventeen carries a game, So Cream Hunt could see a

577
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 4: pretty big workload even when they're both healthy, and there's

578
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 4: a chance to get traded and he would end up

579
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 4: in a situation where he'd be probably work course back there.

580
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of angles and outs to Hunt

581
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 4: just crushing his ADP a RB thirty invest ball.

582
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one of his biggest assets that it you know,

583
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 3: kind of goes under the radar. You know, we're not

584
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 3: talking about as much, but that Cleveland O line is

585
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 3: one of the best.

586
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: In the league.

587
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 3: Some people would argue it is the best. I mean,

588
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 3: I know that only you know, they're kind of replacing

589
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 3: the center Nick Harris. But Nick Harris graded out pretty

590
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 3: well in Pro Football Focus, you know, in the limited

591
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 3: time that he's been in action, and you know, so

592
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 3: there's nothing to suggest that he will kind of be

593
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 3: a major week wink. And then they got Jedrick Wills

594
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: and Botonio Teller Conklin at the other four spots, so

595
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: you know there's gonna be host for Kareem.

596
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: Hunts to run through. For my running back, I'm going

597
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: Damien Harris.

598
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 3: You know, he's a guy that in regular redraft I'm

599
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 3: actually a little bit down on, but I think he's

600
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 3: actually perfect for Best Ball because number one, he's got

601
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 3: that breakaway ability, Like he had thirty three point three

602
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 3: percent of his runs come on break you know, come

603
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 3: on breakaways, which was.

604
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: Fifth in the league.

605
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 3: And then he had five one hundred yard games and

606
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: fifteen overall games played, so about one third of the

607
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 3: time he's breaking one hundred yards. He also had multiple

608
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 3: touchdowns and twenty percent of his games. So he's a

609
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 3: guy that week to week and these are the kind

610
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 3: of guys I like in Bestball too. At running back,

611
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 3: Like week to week, he's going to be depending on

612
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 3: game script, but he has huge upside whenever they have

613
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: good game script. The Patriots should be pretty solid in

614
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 3: year two of Mac Jones, and so you don't have

615
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 3: to worry about those games where maybe he only carries

616
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 3: like ten times for thirty yards because the Patriots fall.

617
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: Behind early on in the game.

618
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: But when the Patriots having good games, you know, even

619
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 3: if Stevenson does kind of cut into his workload, usually

620
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: when the Patriots are rolling, they can support two running

621
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 3: backs like in like a win like. The Patriots are

622
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 3: one of the more high score teams in the league

623
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 3: last year. That's why Damian Harris had such a big

624
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 3: year and why I think he's getting a little overdrafted

625
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: in some formats.

626
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: But he's perfect for best ball.

627
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 3: I was, you know, another guy I thought about was

628
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 3: Rashad Penny, but I think Harris actually has a little

629
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 3: bit firmer grip on the on the starting job, just

630
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 3: because of his success last year, you know, over and

631
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 3: over kind of a longer period of time than Penny,

632
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: who they Pete Carroll always seems to try to like

633
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 3: phase out and they drafted Ken Walker obviously.

634
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: So I like Damie. You know, don't love him in redraft,

635
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: but I do like him in bestball.

636
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 4: Yep, love it. He's a high variance player. Anytime you

637
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 4: have a guy that's more touchdown and game script dependent,

638
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 4: they're going to be more volatile. So yeah, I love

639
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 4: Harris as more of a.

640
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: Best ball option.

641
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 4: Where he can be kind of a headache and head

642
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 4: trying to figure out when he's gonna go off best ball.

643
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, you're gonna get those Fike weeks no

644
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 4: matter what.

645
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a few other guys that fit that mold.

646
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: I mean, Penny I think is one allowed. Elijah Mitchell

647
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 3: comes to mind as well, Like all those guys that

648
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 3: in Redraft. You're kind of like, no, I don't know,

649
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 3: kind of frozen pond. Yeah that Beastballs did that. The

650
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 3: pond is we could, we could, we can skate on

651
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: a frozen pond. Inst let's go to wide receiver.

652
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: We got so I mentioned earlier, but Marcuez Delda's scantling

653
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 4: is sort of the poster child, uh for an ideal

654
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 4: best ball wide receiver. I mean he's a deep threat,

655
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 4: so that in itself means he's going to be pretty volatile.

656
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 4: You know, some weeks he'll go off for three catches,

657
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 4: one hundred yards and two touchdowns. The next week he'll

658
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 4: have zero catches. That doesn't matter in best ball. You

659
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 4: don't need to figure out when that will happen. And

660
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 4: you know, he had a bit of a down year

661
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 4: last year, battling various injuries and he still managed to

662
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 4: finish forty six and best ball points added per game

663
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 4: for wideouts that played nine games or more. So, and

664
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 4: you know he's going from the Packers the Chiefs, which

665
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 4: isn't exactly a downgrade. He could be Patrick maholmes main

666
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 4: deep threat, which is pretty valuable in itself, and apparently

667
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 4: he's been pretty impressive in camp so far, so you know,

668
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 4: he could be even more than just deep threat in

669
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 4: this offense, which will help his his weekly for But

670
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 4: either way, he's gonna come loaded with massive upside every

671
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 4: single week. So even though its ADPs a bit steep

672
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 4: in best ball at wide receiver forty four, I think

673
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 4: it's warranted. And you know, he's, like I said, he's

674
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 4: a guy you don't need to figure out when he's

675
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 4: gonna have a good week and best you just get them.

676
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean not that we believe in puff

677
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 3: piece season, but at least at least the puff pieces

678
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 3: are there for Scantling. I've heard good things about Valdez

679
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 3: Scantling coming out of camp, a lot of people saying

680
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 3: he looks like he's the guy that stands out the most.

681
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 4: It's not sure he's Yeah, he's talented, he's fast. Like

682
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 4: I get that sometimes the puff Pieces can be out

683
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 4: of control, But I kind of figured MVS would fit

684
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 4: right in in Kansas City.

685
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 2: For me.

686
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm going and this is crazy. So Marcus Valdez.

687
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 3: Scanting's a wide receiver forty four and adp so and

688
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 3: he's obviously the poster child here. But yeah, I could

689
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 3: get Tyler Lockett a wide receiver forty seven, three spots

690
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 3: after MVS. I know that, you know, Baker Mayfield's out

691
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 3: of their running for the Seattle quarterback and that's why

692
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 3: those these guys are in free fall. But Tyro Lockett, like,

693
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 3: all right, first of all five one hundred yard games

694
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: last year, Seattle is going to be I don't you know,

695
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 3: I don't think that they're gonna be great on defense.

696
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna be able to run a

697
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 3: ball at ten. They're gonna have to be thrown at

698
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: some point. And you know, Tyra Lockett, even with Russell

699
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 3: Wilson not at his best last year and misses some games,

700
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 3: Tyler Lockett outscored in terms of points per game.

701
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: And half PPR.

702
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 3: Guys like Keenan Allen DeAndre Hopkins, Hunter, renfro Jalon Wattle,

703
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 3: DK Metcalf, Dde lamb, aj Brown, Brandon Cooks, Michael Pittman,

704
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,719
Speaker 3: DJ Moore, Amon Ross, Saint Brown, and Marii Cooper.

705
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: Like Tyler Lockett wasn't like he didn't just fall off

706
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: a cliff.

707
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: The quarterback situation is not ideal, but I just think

708
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 3: this is this is not a situation where it's just

709
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 3: crazy disrespect. He's gonna be a high variance guy obviously

710
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 3: now without Russell Wilson, but all the tools are still

711
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 3: there skill wise and target.

712
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: Wise because he's really it's just him and Metcalf.

713
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 3: Really, you know, I think you know, Noah Fan obviously

714
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 3: will be there at tight end, but I don't think

715
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: he's factoring in a major way in terms of Locket

716
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 3: or Metcalf targets.

717
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: So I think those two are going to be target Hoggs.

718
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: So wide receiver forty.

719
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 3: Seven for a guy on a bad team that's going

720
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: to have to throw and a guy who's put up

721
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 3: big games in a pass and outscored a bunch of

722
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 3: studs as recent as last year and really does it

723
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: every year. I love it at wide receiver forty seven,

724
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 3: And I don't have to worry about the games when

725
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 3: Gino Smith or Drew Lock just overthrows him five times

726
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: in the same game because.

727
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: You know, I got to hit wide receiver forty.

728
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 4: Seven exactly, and I mentioned him as one of the

729
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 4: high variant spide receivers that are perfect for best ball,

730
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 4: And yeah, he had that twelve catch, one hundred and

731
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 4: forty two yard game with Gino Smith under center. I

732
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 4: think even when Drew Locks under center, I mean, Drew

733
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 4: Lock sucks, but he can he can be he can

734
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 4: be a Ben Slinger. You know, Drew Luck takes risks

735
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 4: sometimes they're not smart, but that doesn't matter with tire Lockett.

736
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 4: So he'll definitely still have Spike weeks with either Geno

737
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 4: Smith or Drew Luck under center, and you just get

738
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 4: him at a cheaper prices here because of it.

739
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, I love that call as well.

740
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 4: And when he does have those Fike weeks, every single

741
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 4: point matters. You know, when Tyra Locke has those forty

742
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 4: point games and head to have league, you know you

743
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 4: only need to beat your one opponent, so at a

744
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 4: certain point, you know the forty point game can only

745
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 4: help so much. But in bastball, every point matters. So

746
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 4: when he has those two like massive games, that's huge.

747
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, last year he finished tenth at wide receiver

748
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 4: and best ball points added a cording to my metric.

749
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 4: So yeah, he's he's the perfect type of guy to

750
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 4: target and best ball.

751
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: And let's finish it off with tight ends.

752
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 3: Before we jumped into stacks, who do you like for

753
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 3: best ball at the tight DWN position?

754
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 4: So I think Hunter Henry in that tight end seventeen

755
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 4: range is perfect for best ball because you know, he's

756
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 4: sort of a touchdown dependent I guess you would say

757
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 4: tight end. You know, he had nine touchdowns last year,

758
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 4: which tied for the most at you know, the tight

759
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 4: end position, but he had ten end zone targets, which

760
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 4: you know, ranked inside of the top two. So I

761
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 4: think they'll be pretty stable this year. He might not

762
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 4: score nine, but I think, you know, six to eight

763
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 4: might be a safe bet. But also, you know, week

764
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 4: to week towards the end of the season, he was

765
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 4: running over eighty percent routes run over the last five

766
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 4: games and he was the tight end four over that stretch,

767
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 4: so he was clearly the main tight end. I think

768
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 4: we kind of thought it would be a committee with

769
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 4: him and John new Smith, but he's he's the man

770
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 4: there and if you know, they let mac Jones air

771
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 4: it out a bit more and near two, Henry's gonna benefit.

772
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 4: So again he's in that that sort of range where yeah,

773
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 4: he might be kind of annoying and head to trying

774
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 4: to figure out when he's gonna score his touchdown or

775
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 4: two a game. So in best ball, it doesn't matter.

776
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 4: Here can get those spike weaks no matter what.

777
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love Hunter Henry. I think he's undervalue just

778
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 3: across the board. And yeah, this is perfect because I

779
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 3: think mac Jones could take a step forward and you know,

780
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 3: Hunter Henry, for whatever reason, it was just a Hunter

781
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 3: Henry show last year.

782
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: There was no.

783
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 3: John Smith barely like worked in. So me some Hunter Henry.

784
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 3: I think people should be drafting him pretty much everywhere.

785
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 3: Uh for me, I'm gonna go Cameron Braid at tight

786
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 3: end tight end twenty three. And I mean the crazy

787
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 3: stat for Cameron Braid that really stands out is he

788
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 3: was tied for ninth in the entire National Football League

789
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 3: last year in red zone targets. That was with Grounk

790
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 3: on the team. That was with Antonio Brown on the team. Sometimes.

791
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 3: That was with Chris Godwin. There, that was with Mike Evans.

792
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: There. This dude had twenty red zone targets. That was

793
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: he had fifty seven total targets.

794
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 5: Funny you though twenty, Like now, and now you're telling

795
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 5: me he's gonna get the tight end one snap at

796
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 5: and and like this is a situation where it's like

797
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 5: even I know they got the rookie Kado in there too,

798
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 5: but like the likelihood is that if if god Win

799
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 5: misses time, maybe they go to more.

800
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 1: Two tight ends sets.

801
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 3: I don't really see Bret losing the job this year

802
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 3: because of how much they trust him where it matters

803
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: on the field most. So they essentially use him to

804
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 3: maximize his skill set, you know, and say, Okay, you know,

805
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 3: when it's time to score touchdowns, we're gonna we're gonna

806
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 3: get camera braid in a game.

807
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: Because I mean, he had as many I mean, this

808
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: is it's just absurd. He had as many red zone

809
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: targets as Mark.

810
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 3: Andrews, like crazy, It just he had as many red

811
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 3: zone targets as Justin Jefferson, Right, it's justin fucking Jefferson.

812
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 4: Well, and no one's gonna confuse Cambray with Kyle Pitts

813
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 4: in terms of talent, right.

814
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he can actually score touchdown right exactly.

815
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 4: Well, he's getting targets from Tom Brady, not Marcus Mariota,

816
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 4: so that that is, you know, favorable for Cambray. And

817
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 4: you mentioned Kate Aughton that that's his only competition right now.

818
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 4: They also lost oj Howard yep, on top of Gronk leaving.

819
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 4: I would be a little bit more worried if they

820
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 4: drafted you know, Trey McBride in round two, but the

821
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 4: fact that they waited, you know, round four to get Kayateauton,

822
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 4: that bodes well very well for cam Braid. So I

823
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 4: have no idea why he's still just the tight end

824
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 4: twenty three right now.

825
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: It's insane.

826
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 3: I don't I don't think people have looked at these

827
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 3: red zone targets. And then listen, I know, red zone

828
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 3: target's not the easiest thing to predict year over here,

829
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 3: but it makes sense. Right, Oh, I'm Brady, you're gonna

830
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 3: have just like you said talking about Tom Brady, like

831
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 3: this guy has a ton of upside.

832
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: They're gonna move the ball up and down the field.

833
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 3: And now they're gonna need other guys to step up

834
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 3: because you have no ab because Godwin's gonna be out.

835
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: Russell Gay is not really a touchdown score.

836
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if he got like

837
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 3: eight or nine because of Brady, But I would be

838
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 3: equally not as surprised if cam Braid got eight or

839
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 3: nine because of Brady. So yeah, really like me some

840
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,959
Speaker 3: cam Braid at tight end twenty three. All right, let's

841
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 3: go to the main event. Let's talk stacks, and you

842
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 3: know we as we talked about it early, this is

843
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 3: something I think you have to do in best Ball

844
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 3: to not only differentiate your squad, but really kind of

845
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 3: lock in that upside and that that correlated, correlated production

846
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 3: that's going to get you to the top. Because in

847
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 3: best Ball, you're again you're self explained to or you're

848
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 3: trying to be the best, Like you're not trying to

849
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 3: just get to the playoffs.

850
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: You're trying to be the highest scoring team in your league.

851
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 3: And depending on how you know, different type of formats

852
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 3: you're playing in that we could be you know, twelve

853
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 3: where it could be twelve thousand, But either way, you're

854
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 3: trying to really maximize that upside. So I do think

855
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 3: you have to stack your pass catcher. So with that

856
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 3: in mind, we're going to.

857
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 1: Do two of our favorite stacks each, so lead us off.

858
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 4: So the first offense I love this stack is the

859
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 4: Minnesota Vikings, and you know, part of it has to

860
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 4: do with their changing their scheme. They're moving on from

861
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 4: a very defensive minded conservative head coach and Mike Zimmer

862
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 4: to you know, more innovative Sean McVay disciple and Kevin O'Connell.

863
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 4: So this this offense will likely mimic the Rams offense

864
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 4: and be a bit more up tempo, pass heavy, and

865
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 4: more importantly, you know the targets are gonna be heavily concentrated.

866
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 4: They're not gonna be rotating in wide receivers and tight ends.

867
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 4: So I love stacking Kirk Cousins with Hopefully you can

868
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 4: get Justin Jefferson in the first round, but if not,

869
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 4: guys like Adam Steeling kJ Osborne are pretty cheap and

870
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 4: Irv Smith at tight end.

871
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: So I think, you know.

872
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 4: Drafting three or four of those guys on the same

873
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 4: team offers you massive upside because this offense should be

874
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 4: a lot more fantasy friendly and they just don't have

875
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 4: much competition with you know, other guys on the rosters,

876
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 4: so that I love that aspect as well, where you know,

877
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 4: all three receivers are probably gonna be running over ninety

878
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 4: percent routes. Run Er Smith hopefully will be over seventy percent.

879
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 4: So these all these four guys will be on the

880
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 4: field most of the time. So I love stacking them

881
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 4: up with Kirk Cousins.

882
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that, you know, Kirk Cousins. I like

883
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 3: investing in Minnesota in a variety of ways. I think,

884
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 3: you know, on betting tip there, I think they're underpriced

885
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 3: to win the division at bus to sixty five her

886
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 3: Cousins threw sixty eight touchdowns to twenty picks, and Streston

887
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 3: Jefferson came in a league, so I like that one

888
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 3: a lot. I think I think O'Connor this office could

889
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 3: blow up. I think Jefferson could have a Cooper Cup

890
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 3: like season because oh y, O'Connor oversaw that Adam Delens

891
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 3: seems to just not care about regression.

892
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: Every year.

893
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 3: It's just like, ah, Adam Theeen's gonna regress. It's like

894
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 3: not ano another double digit touchdown year for him.

895
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, Osborn.

896
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 4: And Jefferson will get the ball down the field and

897
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 4: feeling will just touch the touchdowns.

898
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: Yeah right, perfect, Uh No, I really like that one.

899
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 3: And I should also mention as I get into my

900
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 3: uh number one stack that I think this is a

901
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 3: time where you you really want to invest in those

902
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 3: pocket passers too, like, and this is how you can

903
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 3: kind of do it in a way that gives you

904
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 3: some added upside, you know, because you're not always going

905
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 3: to get it Jalen Hurts. You're not always going to

906
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 3: get it a Daniel Jones even late in the draft.

907
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 3: You're not going to get those kind of guys with

908
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 3: that rushing up stide that we that we love. And

909
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 3: so one way around that is to increase the upside

910
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 3: of your team is you take these pocket passes, but

911
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 3: you stack them up and so you're really kind of

912
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 3: hoping for to get those you know, two or three

913
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 3: or four pocket passes that tend to pop and jump

914
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,959
Speaker 3: into that top twelve in production and then they should

915
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 3: give you enough spike weeks to get it done. So

916
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 3: with that in mind, Davante Adams, Darren Waller, Hunter Renfro,

917
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 3: Derek Carr, I just love that one. I think Derek

918
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 3: Carr has you know, played really well these last couple

919
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 3: of years. Even I think remember last year he had

920
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 3: some monster games in terms of the yardage, and that

921
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 3: was without Davonte Adams here. So I really like that

922
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 3: you can kind of these guys are all going at

923
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 3: different parts of the draft that you can kind of

924
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 3: scoop up, you know, Adams in round two and Waller

925
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 3: in round four and Renfro in round six, and then

926
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 3: you know Car later on when you're drafting your quarterback,

927
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 3: so none of them, you know, you're not really having

928
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 3: to reach to draft any of these guys. They're in

929
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: such an explosive division where they play six games against

930
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert and of course Patrick Mahomes so

931
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 3: and the defense probably still won't be that great. And

932
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 3: on top of that, the last receiver who you can

933
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 3: you can kind of again, if you have that last

934
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 3: roster spot open, you might even want to draft a

935
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 3: Robinson or a Keewan Cole. But the whole thing is

936
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 3: the targets should really be concentrated among Adams, Waller and Renfro,

937
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 3: and that should be enough.

938
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: So I really love Derek Carr with his top three.

939
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.

940
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 4: I mean I can't believe you just recommended drafting DeMarcus Robinson,

941
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,720
Speaker 4: but I think it helps. It helps your stack because,

942
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,959
Speaker 4: like imagine he's in the you know, eleven formation where

943
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 4: he's out there running winsprints, not getting targets.

944
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 2: Just taking a defender with them.

945
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 4: It's just gonna even more concentrate targets to Adams, Renfro

946
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 4: and Waller, which is what you want to stack. Like

947
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 4: they can take turns having a huge game, but you

948
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 4: know every week it's one of those two or three

949
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 4: of those guys are gonna give you production.

950
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 2: So yeah, I love the Raiders stack as well.

951
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: We got for your second one, So it's got.

952
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 4: To be the Buccaneers stack, right, I mean, Tom Brady's

953
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 4: a little too cheap right now. Mike Evans is the

954
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,760
Speaker 4: most expensive player to stack, but he's well worth.

955
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: It right now.

956
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 4: I mean he's gonna have a massive season. He's an

957
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 4: ideal best ball target in himself. I mean he's a

958
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 4: touchdown machine. So the first, you know, a few weeks

959
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 4: for Chris Godwin's out, I mean, Evans is gonna just

960
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 4: go off. You know, I like sneaking Russell Gage in there.

961
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: I agree with you.

962
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 4: I don't think he's going to be a huge touchdown score,

963
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 4: but he should play that Antonio Brown role, get a

964
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 4: ton of you know, receptions yards and then cam Bray

965
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 4: Right now, I just don't see the competition right now

966
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 4: at tight end, so he's gonna get, you know, the

967
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 4: Gronkowski and Oj Howard targets are left behind. I'm not

968
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 4: too worried about kay Dott and you know they drafted

969
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 4: him in the fourth round. He's a rookie. So I

970
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 4: just love how much more concentrated the the offense is

971
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 4: going to be and how they're a lot cheap than

972
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 4: they were last year.

973
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it.

974
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 3: I mean, you're getting Tom Brady down there at QB ten,

975
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 3: so really you just kinda gonna target Mike Evans early

976
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 3: and then the other two guys are going to be

977
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 3: pretty easy to get, and like, yeah, I would I

978
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 3: would include Russell Gage and there. I mean, I don't

979
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 3: think you can go with Godwin just because it doesn't

980
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 3: really fit the strategy. But love Brat and uh love

981
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 3: love Evans this year. I mean, I think Evans is

982
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 3: another guy kind of going under the radar. I know

983
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 3: he's going highly in drafts, but I don't even higher

984
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 3: he shout, he just doesn't ever disappoint.

985
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, I love it.

986
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 3: For me, I'm gonna go with kind of the four

987
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 3: man's version of that, like with a quarterback who's kind

988
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 3: of older and has MVP upside. But people are down

989
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 3: on it, even I'm down on a regular redraft. But

990
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 3: I think I did mention this. This is how I'm

991
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 3: going to attack Aaron Rodgers. It's gonna be in best

992
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 3: ball stacks because I can get Rogers, you know, outside

993
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 3: the top ten quarterbacks, and I can get any receiver

994
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 3: I want outside the top one hundred picks. Or you know,

995
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 3: I know Wizard has been climbing in some weeks, but

996
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 3: you're still getting him pretty late. So Aaron Rodgers, Alon

997
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 3: Wizard and the rookie Christian Watson are the three guys

998
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 3: I think that I want to stack up, and I

999
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 3: think you can actually And this is one of the

1000
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 3: one of the ones.

1001
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:17,760
Speaker 1: Where you can get creative.

1002
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 3: Now if you like, you know, maybe Romeo Dubes, if

1003
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 3: you like Randall Cobb, if you think you know any

1004
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 3: of those guys are gonna or even Amari Rodgers, you

1005
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 3: could take a last round pick on one of those guys.

1006
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 3: I don't think you have to, but there's a lot

1007
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 3: of flexibility in terms.

1008
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: Of who you use. I wouldn't use Tony in because

1009
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think we know.

1010
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 3: When he's coming back and how good it will be,

1011
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 3: and he wasn't very good last year. But I mean,

1012
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 3: even he's an option if if we get word that

1013
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 3: he's going to play a full season, which I don't

1014
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 3: think so at this point.

1015
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: But you can also even use Aaron Jones.

1016
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 3: I think this is one of the exceptions because Aaron

1017
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 3: Rodgers had forty touchdowns last year, thirty seven passing, three rushing,

1018
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 3: so that's that's forty touchdowns. Aaron j Jones had ten touchdowns,

1019
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 3: So like now you're I mean, they're just not many

1020
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,320
Speaker 3: quarterback running back from hombos that can give you fifty

1021
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 3: touchdown upside. Rogers and Jones can and Aaron Jones caught

1022
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:18,439
Speaker 3: six six receiving touchdowns last year. So I think that's

1023
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 3: another way where instead of trying to figure out, you know,

1024
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 3: if you want to go with like a third receiver

1025
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 3: or somebody like that, I think you just go. You

1026
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 3: could go Aaron Jones you can get and then you

1027
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 3: could get Rogers Wizard, I think is going to be

1028
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 3: locked in to one of the top three rolls, probably

1029
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 3: top two, and then Christian Watson gives you that upside.

1030
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: You know, obviously they went up to get him.

1031
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 3: I don't really think you need to mess with the

1032
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 3: slot guys because those aren't going to really give you.

1033
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: You know, the yardage up side of though.

1034
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 3: We have seen random cops score a kind of touchdowns

1035
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 3: in the past, but that was when he was a

1036
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 3: lot younger, so I don't know if that's gonna repeat.

1037
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, like like like the Green Bay Packers stack,

1038
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 3: I think this is the way you attack it in

1039
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 3: best Ball and redraft it's a lot disier and redraft them.

1040
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of like more AJ Dillon than anybody. Yeah.

1041
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 3: I know you like Lazar too, but for me, it's

1042
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 3: it's been more AJ Dillon and redrafted in basketball, it's

1043
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 3: kind of the opposite Jones, Rogers, Bazarre, Wow.

1044
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 4: No, yeah, I love this, And you know Rogers, his

1045
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:18,840
Speaker 4: ceiling is obviously a lot lower without DeVante Adams and

1046
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 4: even marquezdeld Is scantling, so you mentioned it earlier. You know,

1047
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 4: a guy like Rodgers, he doesn't have as high of

1048
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 4: a ceiling. The one way to maximize that or raise

1049
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 4: it is to include a couple of pass catchers. So

1050
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 4: I do love the idea because Lazard and Watson are

1051
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 4: so cheap, and let's face it, right, it's all like

1052
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 4: Rogers is gonna suck. He's not gonna finish outside of

1053
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 4: the top fifteen. He's gonna have his yards, he's gonna

1054
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 4: have his touchdowns. So just like correctly guessing which two

1055
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 4: or three he's gonna be targeting, you know, really raises

1056
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 4: the ceiling.

1057
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 2: So I think Rogers might.

1058
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 4: Be a little bit of a reach, but you're gonna

1059
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 4: get value with everybody else and then as a group,

1060
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 4: I mean, the ceiling is massive. So that's that's what

1061
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 4: you're trying to do with a stack in general. So

1062
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 4: that's that's why this is a pretty sneaky one.

1063
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: Yeaes sir?

1064
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,120
