1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: The most valuable commodity I know of this information.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you agree?

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 3: Great one five dollars. This is a row of up

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 3: Cowboy tackle tip one. You're saying that humans need fantasy

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 3: to make life bearable. Humans need fantasy.

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: To be human?

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 3: My goodness, don't misspeak you guys, prone bests, relentless, refusing

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 3: to give up.

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: All right, hit that horn, burbless.

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: What's up, everybody?

11
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Fantasy Flex Podcast. I'm your host, Chris

Speaker 2: Raybond of the Action Network. This is our best Ball

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: strategy episode. Here on this episode, myself and Sean Kerner,

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: the odds maker, one of the best fantasy rankers in

Speaker 2: the biz, are gonna break down all of our best

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: ball tips and some players that we like to target

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: specifically in bestball format, as well as some stacks.

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: What's going on, Sean?

19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: What's up? Yeah? So Week one of the preseason is

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: in the books. Can't wait to see what Week two

21
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: hasn't started. This is probably the week we're going to

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: see the most starters. So looking forward to this week

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: of action. How are you doing?

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 3: I'm doing great.

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: You know, the work starting to pile up, so but

26
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: you'm grinding through it, and I love this time of year.

27
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: I I wouldn't trade it for anything, because this is

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: the time where we finally get information that can actually

29
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: alter our projections after they're kind of static for you know,

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: the offseason or just trying of changing based on you know,

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: he should he said, she said, exactly what.

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 1: I'm relying on reports. At this point, we actually get

33
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: to see them ball out, yep.

34
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: And you know, get some injuries, get some signings, get

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: some roster moves. So, yeah, it's this is going to

36
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: be a Best Ball specific episode.

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: We're going to start out with three tips each.

38
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: That we like to use to get in edge and

39
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: just kind of how we like to go about treating

40
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: our Best Ball drafts. So watch you start us off.

41
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, So my first tip with best Ball is just

42
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: understand sort of you know, the strategy behind it. Where

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: season long, head to head leagues you're trying to just

44
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: beat one opponent every week, so you kind of want

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: to focus on raising your team's floor, whereas Best Ball,

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: you're competing against the entire league like it's going to

47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: add up all the points throughout the season, and you

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: have to finish first, so you want a ton of

49
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: upside you want to go for ceiling, high variance type

50
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: of players, and overall, you just want to make your

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: roster have as high as ceiling as possible because you're

52
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: not having to get everyone's score every week. You're only

53
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: going to get the best scores week in week out.

54
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: So think of wide receivers like a Gabe Davis, or

55
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: like Deshaun Jackson in his prime, or like a marquezdal

56
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: that's scanting when he was on the Packers. Those are

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: like the ideal type of players I like to get

58
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: in Best Ball specifically, because again we're just trying to

59
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: maximize our ceiling weekend week out, try to just get

60
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: players that we think have a ton of upside heading

61
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: in the season. So that's a little bit different strategy

62
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 1: I take when it comes to Best Ball.

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And to kind of add to what you're saying,

64
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: I think what you're alluding to is a specific stat

65
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: in particular for wide receivers anyway, and that is average

66
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: gift of target, because I think the deeper downfield on

67
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 2: average a player gets target, the more he's going to

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: kind of fit that mold of a guy who's going

69
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 2: to be high variants. You know, he might run a

70
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: lot of low percentage routs, but when he catches the ball,

71
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: it's usually going to be you know, a twenty thirty

72
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: yard game, maybe a fifty yard touchdown instead of just

73
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: you know, catching my four balls for thirty yards or

74
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: something like that. So rather a guy catch you know,

75
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: two for eighty six and a touchdown than catch five

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: for thirty.

77
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: Six and no touchdowns or something like that.

78
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: So average up the target's usually the guys that, yeah,

79
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: right right.

80
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: The higher the average up the target usually.

81
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: Not always, but almost always, I would say, usually makes

82
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: for a better best ball pick because those guys are

83
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: going to vary more from their median projection, and a

84
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: lot of times the rankings and the ADP doesn't really

85
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: differentiate too much outside of a select few guys, and

86
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 2: a lot of times in bestball ADP, I feel like

87
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily the best ball specific guys that even

88
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: have the higher aps. It's just the guys who are

89
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: kind of like the trendy like eight guys like you know,

90
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: like certain young rookies or just guys that you know,

91
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: people are you know, like kind of.

92
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: High on throughout the industry.

93
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: So there is an edge to be had by kind

94
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: of remembering like, for example, you know you mentioned MVS,

95
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: you know when he was on Green. I mean MVS

96
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: is the best. The best use for MVS even now

97
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: is best ball. Like, I know, he didn't have a

98
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: great season last year. I think it only had like

99
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: two touchdowns, but his quarterback.

100
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: Is Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes led the league in passing.

101
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: Marquez Valdez Scantling is probably still going to be a

102
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 2: top three receiver on that team. And so yeah, Marcus

103
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 2: the other scanning Scantling is a perfect example of a

104
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: guy who you would probably not think about drafting at

105
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: all in redraft, but if he's sitting there at wide

106
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: receiver seventy.

107
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: Five in the basketball league, yeah I'll.

108
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: Take a shot, right, And so kind of going into that,

109
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: you know you talked about you want upside, you want

110
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 2: high variants. So my first tip is one that I

111
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: see people all the time make this mistake. And I

112
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: even got a person who I think the other day

113
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: asked me about doing this with tight ends, not even

114
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: running backs, and that is handcuffing. And in redraft it

115
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense to handcuff because especially with

116
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: running backs, they tend to miss, you know, on average

117
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: about two.

118
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: To four games a year.

119
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: So if you can get the backup, especially if he's cheap,

120
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: you're kind of locking in starting running back production. You know,

121
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: in the event of two separate injuries and the like,

122
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: we had to get to the third guy on the

123
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 2: depth chart on most teams is pretty low, so it's

124
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: usually a pretty high floor strategy. Now, basketball, completely different

125
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: strategy you want to take because even if you have

126
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: a running back and his handcuff, you're only gonna have

127
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: five or six running.

128
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 3: Backs on your bestball team. At least you should you shouldn't.

129
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: Maybe seven once in a while and a blue, but

130
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: usually somewhere between five and seven. So you don't want

131
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: to waste two roster spots on one team. Same by

132
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: all that good stuff, like if you have let's say

133
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: Alexander Madison and you're like, hey, you know, I think

134
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: ty Chandler at some point during the offseat or during

135
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 2: the season might overtake him, or you know, if Madison

136
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: gets hurt, I think Chandler would be a workhorse. Well,

137
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: if you have Madison already, then don't draft Chandler. Draft

138
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: Chandler when you don't have Madison, because that way you

139
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: maximize your upside of if Madison goes down early in

140
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: the year, you get a lot more Chandler. Then you

141
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: know you would have ever thought you're gonna have a

142
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 2: unique roster construction. And if you draft Madison, you're probably

143
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: spending a top you know, five round, you know, an

144
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: early round pick on him. You're you don't need you

145
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: don't want him to get hurt if he gets hurt,

146
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: Like you don't, that's gonna that's gonna already think You're like,

147
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be good for your team, but it's

148
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: gonna be worse if you don't have like another running

149
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: back that's capable of putting up production all at the

150
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: same time, because that's what you're really trying to maximize.

151
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: You're trying to maximize having Let's say you have six

152
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: running backs. You're trying to have all six of them

153
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: have value in as many weeks as possible. You're not

154
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: trying to have weeks where it's one or the other,

155
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: because now you're it's really like you drafted five running back.

156
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: You literally just gave away a roster spot by handcuffing.

157
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: And I've heard people say suggested it with like Mark

158
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: Andrews and Isaiah Likely.

159
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: No, Like if you if you draft Isaiah.

160
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: Likely, it should be on the off chance that Mark

161
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: Andrews goes down in like week two, and you get

162
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: a full season of Isaiah Likely, Like, that's Isaiah Likely's upside.

163
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: You don't want Isaiah Likely for the two games that

164
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: he's gonna fill in for Mark Andrews. That doesn't help

165
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: your team. You want like another guy, Like let's say

166
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 2: you draft Rupe Muskgrave with that pick and he puts

167
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: up starter value all year, and you have Mark Andrews

168
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: putting the starter value.

169
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: That's what you want. You don't want to either or

170
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: you want.

171
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: Everyone on your team UH to be able to maximize

172
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: their upside and in as many weeks as possible. So

173
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: handcuffing great strategy and redraft where you can set your lineups,

174
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,239
Speaker 2: where you can make roster moves, where you can release

175
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: guys when they're hurt or put them on injury reserve.

176
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: In beastball, your roster spots are your currency. Like those

177
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: are so important because the fewer roster, the fewer fewer

178
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: roster spots that you have allocated, you know to UH

179
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: two different players on different teams, the lower upside is

180
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: going to be so you want to avoid handcuffing.

181
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: U, and that's different you. Stacking is different.

182
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: If you want two receivers three receivers on one team

183
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: and pair them with the quarterback, that's one thing that's

184
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: that's that's additional upside because that tends to be correlated.

185
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: But not you don't want running back in his backup,

186
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: that's the opposite. Never do it in best wall.

187
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: All right, what's next exactly? Well, you already mentioned it,

188
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: but stacking. I think stacking is critical in terms of

189
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: raising your team's overall ceiling. So if you have a quarterback,

190
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: like let's say you draft, well, I guess it wouldn't

191
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: be in that order. But if you draft Stefan Diggs,

192
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: you know you might also want to get Josh Allen

193
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: to pair with him, and then Dalton Kincaid later because

194
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: what happens is, you know, if Josh Allen has a

195
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: really good season, Stefan Diggs and Dalton Kinkaid probably also

196
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: had really good seasons as well. Like you said, they're

197
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: very correlated and it allows you just to basically own

198
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: all the Bills passing game shares like no one else

199
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: in the league can get those. So it's a great

200
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: way to really elevate your team ceiling and really maximize

201
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: the upside you have. And it's it's easier said than

202
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: done because sometimes you do have to take players a

203
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: little bit earlier than you want to get us stacked,

204
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: like you have to be very strategic how you do it.

205
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you do want

206
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: to stack, you know, one to three pass catchers with

207
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: at least one or two of your quarterbacks. So it's

208
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: definitely something you have to kind of plan out while

209
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: you're drafting because you never know if you're gonna take

210
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback first or the pass cutchers first. But once

211
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: you do, you kind of know what you have to do.

212
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: But again, that's that's a really good way to really

213
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: elevate your team ceiling, which is what we're trying to

214
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: do when it comes to best Ball.

215
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to add to that, the way I like

216
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 2: to go about it is, I don't I'm wary of

217
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 2: altering my strategy too much in the early rounds just

218
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: to you know, complete a stack that might not even

219
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 2: be there. Let's be honest, when I come back to

220
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: pick again. So what I just try to do is

221
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: I usually aim to stack my QB two because usually

222
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: that just gives me a lot more options because even

223
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: if I take let's say my top three receivers are

224
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: all guys that are attached to quarterbacks that I'm just

225
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: not going to be able to get because they're all

226
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: going in the first you know, five or six rounds,

227
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: like you know, maybe like Chargers guys, or some Bengals guys,

228
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 2: or you know some Ravens guys even or some Bills guys.

229
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: Like it's a better example.

230
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: You know, if I, if I then you know, have

231
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: a wide receiver four, wide receiver five, and I know

232
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: I know pretty much which quarterbacks are going to be available.

233
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 3: Wait, that can inform my decision making.

234
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 2: A little more, you know, like maybe then you know,

235
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: if I know Gino is gonna be around, I go

236
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: with Jackson Smith the Jigbo or maybe you know Van Jefferson,

237
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: if I if I'm planning on going with Matthew Stafford.

238
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: And usually what happens is once you invest in one

239
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: of those guys, then you can usually get a unique

240
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: stack by going like you don't always have to go

241
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: to the wide receiver one and two. Sometimes you could

242
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: go like the two and the three or something like that,

243
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: get a unique stack that also has some leverage if

244
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: you know the number one gets hurt or you know,

245
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: you can something like certain guys like a if you

246
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: do have a guy like Cooper Cup, then you know,

247
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford ain't going to QB twenty so and most

248
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: people aren't gonna draft Stafford earlier than that without Cup.

249
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: So there's certain things. It just really depends on how

250
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: your draft unfolds. But I tend to try to just

251
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: draft for value with my first you know, three wide

252
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: receiver picks at least, you know, again, you don't want

253
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: to screw up your.

254
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 3: Draft early early in the early rounds.

255
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: And then from there I kind of go off of

256
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: it and say, okay, this is who I think I'm

257
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: gonna be able to stack later on.

258
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: Maybe Dani let it influence me a little more.

259
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: But because I'm usually not going with two quarterbacks early,

260
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 2: so I'm usally gonna have at least one quarterback that

261
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm taking that's gonna be you know, outside of the

262
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: top twelve, and usually even much lower than that. So

263
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: that's how I usually like to go about stacking. Because

264
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: I think some people, you know, they get too caught

265
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 2: up in it and like, yeah, it looks it's super

266
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 2: sexy to get like uh, you know, Chase and Higgins

267
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 2: and Burrow, but you might, like you might, you might

268
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: get like the receivers and then miss out on a

269
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: quarterback because like all these guys are going high. So

270
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: it's just a little riskier, and I think it's a

271
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: little more common, whereas I think the stacks that are

272
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: really gonna win, it's kind of like regular dfs, right,

273
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: It's like it's usually those cheap stacks that give you

274
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: the correlation and allow you to still stack studs and

275
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: pay for the production you know is going to be there,

276
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: but then take advantage of the correlation with the cheap

277
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 2: guys that otherwise wouldn't give you that kind of upside.

278
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: That's kind of how I like to treat stacking in

279
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: Best Ball as well. All Right, My second tip is

280
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: going to kind of be similar to what I was

281
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 2: talking about with the first, but it's essentially always aim

282
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: for the maximum amount of upside in terms of games.

283
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 2: So one thing in best Ball is there are certain

284
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: guys that have, I guess, a reputation as a high

285
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: risk guy and a high risk y reward guys, but

286
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: if that's because of injury, I tend to still stay

287
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: away from. Like a guy like Rashad Penny, for example,

288
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 2: A lot of people might say, Okay's in a committee backfield.

289
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: You don't know when he's gonna go off, but he

290
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: also has a lot of upside, so great basketball pickers.

291
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 2: I don't really like a guy like Rashon Penny because

292
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: this guy has never played more than thirteen games in

293
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: a season, and so I they like the more we like,

294
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: the more larger the sample brows, the more likely it

295
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: is that he's gonna miss games in the future, especially

296
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: at running back. Same thing goes for a guy that's

297
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: gonna start the year hurt, like Jamison Williams. I don't

298
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: I don't think I'm getting over on anybody by taking

299
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: Jamison Williams and he's just gonna win my besketball.

300
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: League when he comes back in Week seven.

301
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: Like I'd rather just have six more games of upside

302
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: from a receiver, even if that receiver is not, uh,

303
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: you know, necessarily a top two receiver or even a

304
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: top three in Week one. If he's a guy that

305
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: I think you know is talented and maybe could you

306
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: know overtake the.

307
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: Starter as soon as week two or three.

308
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 2: That's still better than the guy that I know for

309
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: certain is not going to play until week seven. So

310
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: I'm not drafting Williams. I'm not draft I think Kyler

311
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: us pretty much not drafting Alvin Kamara. Like I just

312
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: I get that there's a point where they do become valuable,

313
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: but it's already hard enough to project value and games

314
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: as it is now. You're trying to projict exactly the

315
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: point at which they've become like, exactly at.

316
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: The point at which they become valuable.

317
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 2: You're just your projections are gonna beat more fallible than

318
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: you think, and you're gonna you're gonna screw it up

319
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 2: more often than you're gonna get it right, and in

320
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 2: the process, you're just gonna drastically low your upside. So

321
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: wherever I can, I'm taking guys that are healthy in

322
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: week one and have the upside to give me every

323
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 2: single game of the season, which also goes into why

324
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 2: if I have a running back, I'm not taking the

325
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: second running back on that same team as a handcuff

326
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: or anything like that. Same thing with tight ends, you know,

327
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 2: I just want the maximum amount of upside for each

328
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: roster slot, and that's sixteen games in the seventeen game season.

329
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. Sense, And for Shot and Jamison

330
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: Williams are great examples because in theory, those are two

331
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: players that are like ideal for best ball that they'll

332
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: both have big playability in high vanience. But like you said,

333
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: you can't, you know, bank on them playing seventeen games.

334
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: In Jamison Williams case, you definitely can't. So I think

335
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: that's that's some great advice because that is another aspect

336
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: is you want them actually you know, providing games of

337
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: value as well. So well, they're on paper great for

338
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: best ball. The injury risk and with Jamison Williams the

339
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: suspension already definitely reasons to fade them.

340
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: Oh and I should before we move on, I should

341
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: mention one more thing.

342
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: This also applies to quarterbacks, because I'd rather have a

343
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: quarterback that's like pretty sure is going to start sixteen

344
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: games than a guy who is a benching risk. So,

345
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: like another example, I think a lot of people are like,

346
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: you know, best ball great time to take a flyer on,

347
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: like a a Sam Howe or a Desmond Ritter. Like

348
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: even if I have those guys higher projected per game

349
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: while they're starting, I might still take a safer guy

350
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: that I know is gonna start all seventeen games, like

351
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: a Jordan Love or or somebody like that, because at

352
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: the end of the day, they're already my quarterback two,

353
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: so I'm not exactly counting on them to give me

354
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 2: like this. Like there's just not as much separation at quarterback, right,

355
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: So it's like if I can if I get eleven

356
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 2: games of a guy averages like twenty two points a

357
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 2: game versus sixteen of a guy who averages eighteen.

358
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 3: Or nineteen, there's just a lot more potential.

359
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: I might need those eighteen or nineteen a lot more

360
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: than I, like a zero, which I could be getting

361
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 2: from a guy who is bench or is not starting

362
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: the season as a starter or you know, or whatever not.

363
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 2: So that's another thing. I think you always want to

364
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: value job security at quarterback because you know, look at

365
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: like last year, I mean it was a land mines

366
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: all over. Matt Ryan got benched, Carson Wentz got bitched.

367
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: But you know who we liked, Jared Goff he didn't

368
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: get benched. Daniel Jones, he didn't get matched. Guys like

369
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: that who you just kind of like, you know, I mean,

370
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: and sometimes you could just be wrong, and that's fair,

371
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: but I'd rather be.

372
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 3: Wrong than just knowing me.

373
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: You take a guy that I think is gonna project

374
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: for less starts just because he has like a one

375
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 2: or two point per game age and projected pre games,

376
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: which is really all you're gonna have at that point

377
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: in the draft.

378
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 3: You're really not gonna have much separation at quarterback.

379
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: So it really comes down to again, just those maximizing

380
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 2: that those games upside because you can't predict when you're

381
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: gonna need them, and you cannot do any line of adjustments,

382
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 2: so you just gotta roll with it so that that

383
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 2: that those those games become vitally important. Every game and

384
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: every roster slot is currency, all right, what you got

385
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: for your third tip.

386
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: So for the third tip, let's just talk about roster

387
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: construction in general. And there's no real right or wrong

388
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: way to do it, but in general, I like to

389
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: get two quarterbacks. Like, if you can come away from

390
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: the draft to two quarterbacks, I think you did good.

391
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: There are some exceptions where I get a third. Maybe

392
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: it's an example you're talking about where you start with

393
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: like a Desmond Ritter or Sam Howell, or you draft

394
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: two of those guys, you're just trying to maximize your

395
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: chances of getting two quarterbacks that play all seventeen games.

396
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: It's not advised, but sometimes you get a situation where

397
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: you have to do that. But in general, I like

398
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: to have two quarterbacks and then running backs. You know,

399
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: for season long redraft leagues, head to head leagues like that.

400
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: I like to have as many running backs as possible.

401
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: You know me, my bench is basically all running backs

402
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: with upside. In Best Ball, I'm a little bit more aggressive.

403
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm okay just drafting like five running backs, six running backs.

404
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: So I think anywhere between like five to seven running

405
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: backs is fine. You're gonna need them to stay healthy anyway.

406
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: And then the way to get more than seven running

407
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: backs is you're gonna be taking a bunch of backups.

408
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: At the end of the draft. We are just kind

409
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: of hoping the starter goes down. I don't like doing

410
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: that as much in Best Ball as opposed to redraft,

411
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: where you can manage your roster. So I like to

412
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,719
Speaker 1: just take good running backs, have a solid five to

413
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: six running back cores, and then I really like to

414
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: load up at wide receiver, like seven, eight, maybe even

415
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: nine wide receivers. I think makes a ton of sense

416
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: because that's a position that has just the most volatility

417
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: weekend week out. Typically you're any three wide receivers instead

418
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: of two running backs, So it just makes sense to

419
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: have the most wide receivers on your team. And then

420
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: tight end is similar to quarterback, where ideally I just

421
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: want to have two tight ends. Sometimes I'll have three.

422
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: If I don't have a tight end until you know

423
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: the first fourteen off the board, maybe that's the situation

424
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: we're all get three tight ends, But in general, I

425
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: want to come to two quarterbacks and two tight ends.

426
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: And when it comes to best ball, like when it

427
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: comes to roster construction, I am a lot more worried

428
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: about buys than I am in regular season head to

429
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: head leagues because you can't manage your roster. So you

430
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: got to make sure you don't get two quarterbacks out

431
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: of the same buy, or else you have to get

432
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: a third quarterback. So definitely pay attention to your buys.

433
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: You don't want to have too many at one position.

434
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: But overall that's kind of how I construct my teams.

435
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is a good time to mind people

436
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 2: that there's a lot of spots, Like when you're looking

437
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: at rankings, like sometimes people ask us like, oh, do

438
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: you have this guy sixteenth or fifteenth, or do you

439
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 2: have this guy thirty fourth or thirty third. It doesn't matter,

440
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: Like there's very like yes, there are, there are tear

441
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: drop offs, and you do a good job of always

442
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: highlighting those. You have your tears piece pieces out where

443
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: you kind of highlight that. But for the most part, guy,

444
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: the difference of one or two or even three ranking

445
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 2: spots is not much.

446
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 3: It's gonna be tense of a point.

447
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 2: And so if the buye is the tiebreakers, then let

448
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: the buye be the tie breaker, Like, don't have to

449
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: don't like stack up bys on the same week, and

450
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 2: cause again remember your roster spots and those like games

451
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 2: are your currency. And so if you have a week

452
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: where like you're just already starting out with four or

453
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: five or six zeros, you know, there's really nothing you're

454
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 2: gonna be able to do to a place. You're just

455
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: gonna have to hope that the four guys you have

456
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: active or whatever are gonna have big games. And that's unrealistic.

457
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: So if you can spread out your buys. Do it,

458
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: and remember, because stacking is something that you really should

459
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 2: be doing every in every team with at least one

460
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: of your quarterbacks, you want to kind of save your

461
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 2: same buys as much as possible, you know, for your

462
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: stacks too, So kind of keep that in mind, you know,

463
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 2: like look at your receivers to kind of give you

464
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: a like to.

465
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 3: Dictate, Okay, who based on.

466
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: The receivers I've drafted, this is the quarterback that I'm

467
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: probably gonna draft to stack with them, at least in

468
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: my kids, because I'm usually.

469
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 3: Going with later quarterbacks for that stack.

470
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: And then so then you say, okay, well, then if

471
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: there's like running backs or tight ends or whoever else

472
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: that you know might also have that buy, that could

473
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: also be a tiebreaker because stacking is also very important.

474
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 2: It's going to be really hard to win, especially you know,

475
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: a larger field basketball league without stacking.

476
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 3: You're just going to need that correlation. You're going to

477
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 3: need that upside.

478
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: So that's already guaranteed to have you know, three or

479
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 2: four of the same buy, right, So if you could

480
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 2: kind of work from that and minimize the other players

481
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 2: that have those similar buys, it's gonna work out better.

482
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, if you could spread out your buys as

483
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: much as possible, it's always optible. And that kind of

484
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 2: goes into my third tip is leave your roster flexibility

485
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 2: for the end. So usually, and to your point, I

486
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 2: deal with two quarterbacks, I deal with two tight ends. Now,

487
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 2: you know a lot of people there's there, there's content

488
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: out there.

489
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: Our guy TJ.

490
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: Hernandez does does some great content on this where you know,

491
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 2: they look at the past best ball win rates and

492
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: you know what worked in different leagues, and generally what

493
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: you find is exactly what you said. Two to three quarterbacks,

494
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: two to three tight ends, five to seven running backs,

495
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: seven to eight receivers. Usually, though when you see those

496
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: three quarterbacks or three tight ends, it's just it's more

497
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: because somebody did screw up and either they had a

498
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 2: similar buyer or something like that. Like the ideal is

499
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: to have two quarterbacks, draft your second quarterback before you

500
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 2: get in a situation where you're drafting a guy that

501
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: might not start the whole year, Before you're in a

502
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: situation where the only starters available all have the same

503
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: buys as the yearser QB one and the same thing

504
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 2: for tight well, tight end is a little more. There's

505
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 2: more tight ends available, so it should that shouldn't really

506
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 2: be an issue, but in general, yeah, you always want

507
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: to kind of have roster flexibility for the end to

508
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 2: so then you can draft for value at the more

509
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: important positions, which are running back and receivers. So usually

510
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: I'm between either five or six running backs and what

511
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: would that be?

512
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 3: Eight or nine wide receivers?

513
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: Then yeah, eight or nine five receivers, right, so instead

514
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 2: of I'd rather fill my quarterback and tight end two

515
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: before the last two or three rounds, So then I

516
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 2: can kind of let the draft value dictate whether I

517
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: go five or six running backs or eight or nine receivers.

518
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: You know, if there's more value at wide receiver, I

519
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: go five running back, nine receiver. If there's more value

520
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 2: at running back, I'll go, you know, six running backs

521
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: and eight receivers. But every draft is going to kind

522
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: of play out different, and you also may have different

523
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: team needs that you want to adjust for. Like maybe

524
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: you feel like you're you're just a little weaker at

525
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: running back and you want to go with that six

526
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: running back. You want to give yourself flexibility to where

527
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: you're not just reaching and taking a guy because you

528
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 2: have to. So I always recommend, you know, if you

529
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: if you can get your quarter, second quarterback, in second

530
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: tight end before the last two, a lot of times

531
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: you're gonna have more flexibility with your running back in receivers.

532
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 2: But even if not, like the bottom line is, just

533
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: keep that flexibility open to try to draft for value

534
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: as much as possible, because there's no right or wrong answer,

535
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 2: you know, and you know, there might even be a

536
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 2: rare instance where maybe a third tight end is more

537
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 2: valuable than the wide receivers or running backs on the board.

538
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 2: It would have to be pretty rare, but I could

539
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 2: see a situation where somebody, like, you know, a guy

540
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: that's like you have ranked like tight end eighteen, falls

541
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: outside the top twenty four or something like that to

542
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: like the last few rounds, and you know, maybe he's

543
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 2: a better like maybe IRV Smith is a better bet

544
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: than any of these like wide receiver fours that are

545
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 2: that is, and maybe you draft him. But uh, in general,

546
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: it's it's usually gonna come down to wide receivers or

547
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: running backs. And also by leaving yourself flexibility, you can

548
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 2: also add to a stack that you have without killing

549
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 2: the value of your team so maybe you know you're

550
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: kind of you have you have a balanced roster, and

551
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 2: you have a like, uh, let's say a Jordan Love

552
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: with Christian Watson and Romeo Dobbs Stack. Maybe you go

553
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 2: and add a Jaden read Later or somebody like that,

554
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: or or you go and add you know, whoever the

555
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 2: third receiver on a team is, Like I'm pretty sure

556
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: I added some uh who was it on the car

557
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: I think it was like, uh, Greg Dortch or someone

558
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: whoever was like the third fourth receiver on the Cardinals

559
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 2: because I was getting like Kyra Murray Stacks and this

560
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: top three were taken.

561
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 3: Like just things like that.

562
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 2: You know, you you weave yourself that flexibility to really

563
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 2: kind of fine tune your roster with those last two picks.

564
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: But if you if you just draft like all of

565
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: your running backs and all of your wide receivers early,

566
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 2: you're probably just gonna be screwed at quarterback and tight

567
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 2: end to where you might have to draft three because

568
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: you waited too long, but you won't even be able

569
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 2: to draft three because you waited too long. So that's

570
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: my thing is you try to leave your last running

571
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: back right two of those slots to the last two.

572
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 3: And kind of go based on the value as it

573
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 3: falls in the draft.

574
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 2: All right, we know football season is finally back, and

575
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,920

Speaker 3: All right, let's close out the pod.

605
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 2: Just talking about some of the players and stacks that

606
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: we are targeting for twenty twenty three.

607
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: Sean starts off.

608
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: We got uh so for quarterback, I mean, the guy

609
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: that I've been targeting heavily all summer has been Anthony Richardson.

610
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: You know, he was at QB sixteen for most of

611
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: the summer and similar to your point, where he's not

612
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback that we can really project for sixteen and

613
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: more games as a starter, So he did kind of

614
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: have that downside going in the season. He's more of

615
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: the reverse of Sam Hell or Desmond Ritter. Where as

616
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: soon as Richardson did start, you know, he's probably going

617
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: to start the rest of the season. So what I've

618
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: been doing is taking Anthony Richardson and then having a

619
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: quarterback pair with them that doesn't have a buy until

620
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: like week seven. So I was kind of giving myself

621
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: some insurance to have a guy to get starts with him.

622
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: But I just love richardson upside. You know, he has

623
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: massive rushing upside that's ideal and re draft leagues, and

624
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: it's also a deal in Best Ball. He's gonna have

625
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: some spike games. But now that he has been announced

626
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: as the Week one starter, I think his ADP is

627
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: gonna go up, possibly near the top ten. So that's

628
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: why I've been trying to really load up on him

629
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: before that potential news break broke. But I still like

630
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: him as a best ball type of guy because again,

631
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna have massive weekly upside. He has just, you know,

632
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: top five overall kind of upside as a rookie, those

633
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: are the kind of players like the target. So he's

634
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: been one of my favorite Best Ball targets at the

635
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: QB position.

636
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he's I mean, he's just gonna be

637
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: an exciting guy to roster in in all fourmats, I

638
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: will I'm going to talk about quarterbacks in the in

639
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: the stack, So let's let's talk about some running backs,

640
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: because I think you and I both kind of agree

641
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: that there's a certain nuanced in in basketball and a

642
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: certain running backs that are made maybe a little bit

643
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: more valuable. And I think those are kind of those

644
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 2: guys that are gonna be in known committees from the jump.

645
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: So a couple of guys that come to mind for me,

646
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 2: aj Dillon, Tyler Algier, where I think there's these guys

647
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: are still gonna get work even behind the starter Dylan's

648
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 2: case because that's you know, kind of almost a fifty

649
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: to fifty split, and an Algier's case because the Falcons

650
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 2: project to run so much that even if Bijon gets

651
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: you know, sixteen to twenty carries, you know they average,

652
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: I think, you know, was twenty seven or so carries

653
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: per game, there still should be you know, seven to

654
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: ten left over in many weeks for a guy like

655
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: Tyler Algiers. So guys like that where you don't know

656
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 2: exactly which weeks they're gonna necessarily go off, but you

657
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 2: know that they should have value. Those guys become a

658
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: little bit more valuable in Best Ball because their production

659
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: is going to be kind of high variants, Like some

660
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: weeks don't they might get like five carries for ten yards,

661
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: but some other weeks they might get thirteen carries for

662
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: eighty three yards and two touchdowns or something like that.

663
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 3: So guys like that are guys I like to target.

664
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: You've got a couple as well, Yeah, same strategy, Like

665
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: I love that breakdown. Those are the type of backs

666
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: I love Rostery and redraft leagues and especially Best Ball.

667
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: So my two are Dave Montgomery and Jalen Warren, you

668
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: know who both are considered, you know, the backups heading

669
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: into the season. But they're both gonna see enough touches

670
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: week in week out to produce, you know, some spiked weeks.

671
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: You know, potentially RB two value at times in Bestball.

672
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: You will have to kind of figure out when those

673
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: games are, Especially with David Montgomery. He could have some

674
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: games where he scores two touchdowns or games where you know,

675
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: he just has eight carries for thirty yards and that's it,

676
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: kind of like Jamal Williams last year. So he's ideal

677
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: for Best Ball Plus, all these players that we're talking

678
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: about have massive upside if the starting running back were

679
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: to go down. So those are all just the factors

680
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: that you know, we value in redraft and best ball.

681
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: So these are the same types of backs I'm targeting

682
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: and redraft for best ball. But that's because they just

683
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: provide a ton of upside.

684
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point.

685
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of these guys were talking about, uh,

686
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 2: I think especially a guy like Dylan, like you know,

687
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 2: he's in a committee with Jones, But if Jones were

688
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: to go down, it's unlikely that Dylan would have us

689
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty split with something like lou.

690
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 3: Nichols or Patrick Taylor or or good Center.

691
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: Whoever makes that you know, earns that that third running

692
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 2: back job. And you know that's the case in a

693
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: lot of these The Lions I never know, So I'm

694
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: not even gonna pretend to know what the Lions would

695
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: do because they're always being weird with it.

696
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: Like I think Montgomery's probably started to be honest with you.

697
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 3: I think Venery probably or Touches and Gibbs, even.

698
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: Though he's not doesn't necessarily mean he's gonna have more

699
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 2: fantasy value because Gibs being drafted, right.

700
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: He's the second lines running being drafted. The one way

701
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: to put it.

702
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like with the Steelers, is McFarlane gonna get

703
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: like ten the same amount of Carris Warren Gott if

704
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: Nage went down.

705
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 3: Probably not. Same thing with Dylan and Jones.

706
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: Uh, Algier, probably not either because we saw him be,

707
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: you know, like a workhorse back yeah, when when he

708
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 2: was starter. So yeah, guys like that in a lot

709
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 2: of cases, those are that's kind of like the best

710
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: of both worlds.

711
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 3: You know.

712
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: You get a guy who is gonna have value that

713
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 2: you can't predict, but still gonna have, you know, top

714
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: thirty six ish top forty ish value, and then if

715
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 2: the starter goes down, he may have the workhorse role

716
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: all to himself. Zach Charbonnet is another guy that comes

717
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: to mind as well. So, yeah, those guys are really

718
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 2: the kind of ideal guys to draft in in this format.

719
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's uh who So we kind of alluded

720
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 2: to this earlier, but who's you know, where's some wide

721
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 2: receivers that you like in in this format for this year?

722
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the poster child for this is

723
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis. You know, he was the ADP wide receiver

724
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: twenty six entering last season. He ended up finishing as

725
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: the wide receiver twenty seven, but he was label a

726
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: bust and I think a lot of that just had

727
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: to do with the week to week inconsistency that you

728
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: know isn't great for season long leagues, but for best

729
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: ball that's fine. You don't have to guess when he's

730
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: gonna rupt for a four touchdown game or you know,

731
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: catch ninety yard touchdown, so he's ideal for best Ball.

732
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: He was actually the only player last year who saw

733
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: fifteen percent or more target share with an a dot

734
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: over sixteen or more yards. I mean, that's just a

735
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: great combo for best Ball. So love him and redraft,

736
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: but I like him even more in Best Ball. And

737
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: another wide receiver that you can get way later with

738
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: the similar type profiles Marvin Mens on the Broncos. You know,

739
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: with Tim Patrick got for the season, the wide receiver

740
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: three spot for the Broncos is wide open, so I

741
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see plenty of snaps for sims for

742
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: Mens this year, and he's he profiles as a deep threat.

743
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: He has nearly the same height, weight, speed, and playing profile.

744
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: As like a Darnell Mooney. So I think he's the

745
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: kind of guy that he might not see a ton

746
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: of targets weekend week out, but when he does, they're

747
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: gonna be more downfield. He could make some you know,

748
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: explosive plays, So he's gonna have some spiked week We

749
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: don't know when they're gonna be, but you get him

750
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: right around wide receiver seventy And he's the kind of

751
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: guy we were talking about, like Mark has Delta is

752
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: scantling where he's way better for you in best ball formats.

753
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: So he those are the two players I target more

754
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: in best Ball.

755
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, those those high A that guys.

756
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 2: And you know him's obviously became a lot more relevant

757
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 2: with his injuries. Uh so, yeah, he's one of my

758
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 2: favorite targets as well. Uh you know, I think I

759
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 2: want to go straight into stacks here because you know,

760
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: I think the receivers you know, are gonna be kind

761
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: of obvious. You know, you can think about there's you know,

762
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 2: Vounus Scanting is another one.

763
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 3: You know, I think a guy like.

764
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 2: Pickens maybe had a little more value in Beast Ball,

765
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: though I think he's probably just going to be more

766
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: of a traditional receiver this year, but we we know

767
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 2: the guys. But I think with stacks, I think here's

768
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: where it gets interesting. So where are some of the

769
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: stacks that you've been kind of targeting?

770
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 3: Uh this year?

771
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: Uh So, one of my favorite ones in best ball

772
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: is you know, Trevor Lawrence stacks Jaguars offensive stacks. Because

773
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: Lawrence isn't a guy I really get much in read

774
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: draft leagues. You know, I have him as my QB eight.

775
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: That's where he goes. It's not really a time I

776
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: like drafting quarterbacks, but in basketball, I love getting him

777
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: there because he is, you know, a generational talent type

778
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 1: of quarterback entering year three, so he could be even

779
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 1: better this year. So he has a ton of upside.

780
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: But I also like where all of his pass catchers go,

781
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: Like I think Calvin Ridley has top ten upside and

782
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: by all reports it sounds like he's right back in

783
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: his twenty twenty form, So love him. I love getting

784
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, Christian Kirks one of my favorite receivers that

785
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: you can get in the wide receiver thirty range. I

786
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: think Zay Jones is cheap love Evan Ingram. So it's

787
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: just an easy team to build stacks. I was kind

788
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,479
Speaker 1: of talking about earlier where it is kind of tough

789
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: building stacks because you're kind of, you know, going with

790
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: the flow of the draft. I found it way easier

791
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: to stack Jaguars because I like all four pass catchers,

792
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 1: and the other stack I love getting even right now

793
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: is Brock perty Brand Ayuk and George Kittle, just because

794
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: I think those three players are very highly correlated. I

795
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 1: mentioned last year Kittle was the tight end one overall

796
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: over the final six games, which all happened to be

797
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: the games Brock Purdy was starting. So if if we

798
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: had a different situation this year where Trey Lance was

799
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: the Week one starter, you know, I would downgrade Ayuk

800
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: and Kittle. So the fact that Perdy looks like he's

801
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 1: ready to go week one he is the team starter,

802
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: that raises the value of both Ayuk and Kittle. So

803
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: I think we're getting just a ton of correlation there,

804
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: and you know, they might alternate which weeks they have

805
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: good games, But at the end of the day, I

806
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: like getting you know, Ford and iron stacks with you know,

807
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: Perty Ayuk Kittle. You could even mix in like a

808
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: CMC and a stack like that. Since he's so heavily

809
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: involved in the passing game. But I think the you know,

810
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: the forty iron stacks lately have been something I've been

811
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: targeting as well.

812
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 3: What about Divo would you? Would you?

813
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: Yeah?

814
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I like, I think.

815
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,439
Speaker 1: That he's he's a bit pricey, Like he's a guy

816
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: that I don't have being as valuable, and you know,

817
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: he is a basketball type guy where he's gonna make

818
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: big play. So yeah, absolutely, I just think you can

819
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: kiddle specifically, are the two guys that I give the

820
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: biggest boost to with brock perty under center.

821
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's I think that's a big part

822
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 2: of it is that it's guys that you can get

823
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 2: a little bit cheaper to where you're not really throwing

824
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: off your draft strategy. So a couple of things that

825
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 2: I really look for in stacks are number one, that cheapness.

826
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 2: And when I say that cheapness, it's more with the

827
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 2: quarterback because you know, if I like, for example, if

828
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 2: I if I get DK Metcalf and Tyra Lockett in

829
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 2: my draft, you know, it's it's not as bad as

830
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: if like I get like I overpay for Gino Smith

831
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 2: and and like it was the opposite like let's say

832
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 2: he was going a little earlier. But you know what

833
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 2: I really try to avoid is like throwing off my

834
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 2: draft early and reaching on a quarterback, which is already

835
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 2: a position that you know tends to be better off

836
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 2: by waiting, So you usually a stat like the earliest

837
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 2: I'm usually going for a stack is like a DK

838
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 2: Tyler Jackson Smith, jigbu Gino Smith stack because I look

839
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 2: for not just you know, having the quarterback be at

840
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: a range to where if I get one or two

841
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: of his receivers, somebody's probably not gonna take that quarterback.

842
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 3: I'm looking for that kind of quarterback. But I'm also looking.

843
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 2: For teams with average to below average defenses, because that's

844
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 2: also when you're really gonna see a lot of these

845
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 2: stacks hit. It's just like dfs. You know, if a

846
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 2: team only allows you know, ten seventeen points, then they're

847
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 2: not gonna They're the need to put up a bunch

848
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 2: of offense and keep throwing all these receivers. It's not

849
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 2: gonna be as hot. But a team like Seattle, you

850
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 2: figure their defense. You know, they got some talented guys

851
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 2: like Teri Woolan, but for more or less, like you

852
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: would expect their defense to kind of top out about average.

853
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: I would say Detroit, same thing. You know, a guy

854
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 2: like Jared Goff if I got especially if I got.

855
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 3: Aman Roile Saint Brown early.

856
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 2: But even if I didn't, you know, if I can

857
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: get Jared goffin guys, you know, because like a lot

858
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: of times to see stacks that again, you would never

859
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 2: really consider these guys otherwise, like I might take a

860
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 2: Jared Goff, Marvin Jones, Josh Reynolds stack.

861
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 3: Or one of those guys with the rookie Sam Laporter.

862
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 2: I'm like the cheap guys, the bad defenses, I think

863
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: really kind of enhanced the value of those stacks. I

864
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 2: don't expect the Rams to be very good on defense

865
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: this year. So you know, obviously Cooper cut Matthew Stafford.

866
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 2: But if I can't get that, you know, maybe a Stafford,

867
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 2: Jefferson nicoua stack or to to at well even a

868
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,800
Speaker 2: Tyer Higbee, you know, try to get some some touchdown

869
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 2: equity in the red zone. I think Jordan Love paired

870
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 2: with you know, Watson Dobbs is a is a really

871
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 2: cool one that's that's pretty cheap. You know, you drafted

872
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 2: Watson early and then you know, Dobbs is gonna be there,

873
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 2: Love is going to be there.

874
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 3: I think, uh, the you know, the Texans c J.

875
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 2: Stroud, maybe a Nico Con Tank, Dell Stack, it would

876
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 2: be very intriguing. You know, Stack's where the team has

877
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 2: a below average defense. I think really kind of increases

878
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 2: Bryce Young, DJ Shark and Jonathan Mingo because I'm not

879
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: high on a thieland so and I like the fact

880
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 2: that Chark would go and Mingo could both go downfield.

881
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 2: So those kinds of stacks have been my favorite, like

882
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 2: a Kenny Pickett, George Pickens, Deontay Johnson. Stack is pretty cheap,

883
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: so I don't mind it. But the only thing with

884
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 2: that is I wonder how many weeks it's gonna truly

885
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 2: hit because Pittsburgh's defense is probably gonna, you know, be

886
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 2: good and they're probably gonna be conservative, so like something

887
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 2: like that, or even the Russ Wilson, Judy Sutton or Judy.

888
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 3: You know or Mims included in that.

889
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, they have some some upside because they're cheap enough,

890
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 2: especially at quarterback. But the defense you also got to

891
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: think about that Bronco defense probably gonna be good to

892
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 2: where Russell.

893
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 3: Wilson's not gonna.

894
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 2: Have to throw for you know, three hundred and fifty

895
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 2: yards and three touch even if he can if he

896
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, but you know, he's probably not gonna

897
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 2: have to do very often. So that's kind of knocks

898
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 2: down like the Wilson or the Picket stacks a little

899
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 2: compared to like the Goff and the Staffords and the Loves.

900
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: For me, Yeah, that makes a ton of sense. And

901
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 1: I think the like the Picket Pickens Deontay one makes

902
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: a ton of sense because in order for both receivers

903
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: to really crush adp Pickett has to have a good year.

904
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: So there's just a lot of correlation there. If you

905
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: think Pickett's gonna have a breakout year too, like having

906
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: both Pickens and Deontay's gonna be massive. So I think

907
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: having stacks like that, especially like you said, with the

908
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: cheaper quarterback, are the easiest ones to build and they

909
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: have the most correlation. So yeah, the Picket one, especially

910
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: after how he looked Week one, I can definitely get behind.

911
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think with stats like this, the great

912
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 2: thing is because let's say maybe you get Pickens and

913
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 2: you get Picket, but you miss out on.

914
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 3: Deontay or something like that.

915
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can know, especially if you're giving yourself that

916
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 2: flexibility later in the draft. There's nothing wrong with going

917
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 2: with a guy like a cow Austin, Like, you know,

918
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 2: he's a guy who I think could from week one

919
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 2: or outplay Alan Robinson and become the number three wide

920
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 2: receiver going forward as soon as you know, week two.

921
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 2: So I don't hesitate to add like roster guys like

922
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 2: like for example, with Jared Goff, I might take a

923
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: flyer on a guy like Khalif Raymond, you know who

924
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 2: a lot of times ends up out playing like some

925
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 2: of the other guys. I would never draft him, you know,

926
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 2: individually and you wouldn't have value, But attached to golf,

927
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 2: you have value, not just as you know, one of

928
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: the top three or four receivers on the depth chart,

929
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 2: but also you have leverage if guys get hurt, like

930
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 2: if Jamison Williams just never comes back this season for example,

931
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 2: for some reason like maybe he gambles on the NFL again,

932
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 2: or or you know, he gets hurt or you know

933
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 2: whatever not, Yeah, then that Khalif Raymon is not only

934
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 2: gonna have more value, but it's gonna be so unique.

935
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: Like it's like in a large field, no one else

936
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: is really gonna have it. So that's something to think about.

937
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 2: Like you can roster a guy that you would other

938
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 2: wise never take if you have, you know, a quarterback

939
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 2: stacked and maybe you only have one or one of

940
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 2: his other receives, or even if you want to if

941
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 2: you have to. Uh, you know, there's just a lot

942
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 2: more options, so you don't have to restrict yourself to

943
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 2: like trying to reach for these guys at these certain

944
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 2: spots in the draft thoroughly like you could a lot

945
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 2: of times. The best stacks are the ones that are

946
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 2: just gonna be so off the board that no one

947
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: would even ever think that they would have any correlation

948
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 2: or upside.

949
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 3: And that's how you're.

950
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 2: Really gonna to win and win in these in these

951
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 2: larger field tournaments. All right, Uh, anything else and the

952
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 2: other guys that you want to talk about?

953
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 3: Or are we out here?

954
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: I think we're out of here. I think we're good.

955
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: I think we've covered everything.

956
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: Oh and just in draft Tyer Higby, he's going to

957
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 2: well not yeah, he's not that guy.

958
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: But now that we have our two favorites, Chig and

959
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 1: Doulcetic have had rough past couple of weeks. Tyler Higby

960
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: is sticking out like a sore thumb, so he's definitely

961
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: my most drafted tight end in the past week.

962
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,439
Speaker 3: Oh and another interesting one.

963
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 2: We've seen what Dalton Schultz has done in Dallas, and

964
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 2: we've talked about the last pot how Ferguson has a

965
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 2: chance to take over the entire Schultz role, not just

966
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 2: be in a three way committee.

967
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 3: So if you have Dak, you can go Dakh.

968
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 2: Cooks, Gallup, Ferguson or Gack Gallup, Gallups going like wide

969
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: receiver fifty I think, and you know Ferguson is obviously

970
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 2: going way low, so Dak is the earliest guy you

971
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 2: have to draft.

972
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 3: So like those.

973
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 2: Situations too, because we've seen Dak with a ton of upside.

974
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 2: We don't exactly know how it's gonna play out with

975
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 2: Schottenheimer and McCarthy Collen plays, but Dak does have upside.

976
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 2: And you know, if he throws like eight nine touchdowns

977
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 2: to Ferguson and you also have Gallup or Cooks, who

978
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 2: are you know, getting some deep balls, you could be

979
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 2: in business. So it doesn't just have to be the

980
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 2: number one receiver, you could get leverage like if the

981
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: number one gets hurt or something like that. So a

982
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 2: lot of different ways to stack, but the bottom line,

983
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 2: get creative, stay cheap, and don't screw up your first

984
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 2: you know, the high leverage rounds of your draft by

985
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 2: like reaching for stacks, Like you don't need a Joe

986
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 2: Burrow Jamar Chase T. Higgins to win your draft because

987
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 2: too many other people are probably gonna try to do

988
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 2: the same thing and everyone's just gonna screw each other over.

989
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 3: So like if you if you have a.

990
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 2: Better plan of just drafting for value early, getting these

991
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 2: cheaper guys late, stacking.

992
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 3: Them up for the correlation more often than not. Like

993
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 3: it's not always gonna work. No strategies fool proof, but uh,

994
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a better strategy to differentiate yourself.

995
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 2: All right, that's gonna wrap it up. For the Fantasy
