I'm Chris Welsh. We've got Tara Roberts in the, I would say the host seat, but like the, you know, we're together. I'm driving. You're, you know, going to be in the passenger side, but we're going to like push everybody to you, and we're going to be answering your guys' questions. Whatever you've got. For the next hour, drop your questions in a chat. If you're listening on the podcast, this is going to be an entirely produced episode by the people and for the people here. Final draft weekends are coming up. Tara, I don't know where you sit in the draft market. I know like best balls have been done, but this is a huge draft week for me. I've kind of held off a whole lot. I'm in a, it's a league called the Pentathlon League, where we do five different events. Derek Van Riper from The Athletic runs it, fitsies in it with me. I just completed. The Tags League here at Fantasy Pros, which is a big deal. That's the, obviously the Mike Tagliere League. It's the championship one where, uh, it's Wormley Erickson and I representing the content team. I just finished that. So all of my stuff is going down this week. So I obviously don't know where everybody is at, but this is an important week to me going into Labor Day. What about you? I've got one left. Just one. I, um, wrapped up everything and luckily was not hurt too bad by all the pre, um, injuries in terms of early draft. I've been drafting in August, but I've got one more left to wrap up this weekend. That's it. Well, hopefully you guys have got a bunch and if you do, we're here to help you out where you guys can be dropping questions to us. You can do it in the normal way, which is totally adequate. Or if you guys want to get front of the line access, you want to make sure your question is answered without question. Super chats, baby. You guys can drop super chats. We've already got a couple in the queue. That is your front of the line, your Disney front of the line pass, where we will go to your question first before anybody else's. Whatever it is. If it's strategy, you want to draft grade. If you've got a draft in, you can do that. Drop your super chats in. I don't feel compelled to put any warning on them and say, we'll only do them for 20 minutes. We'll see how they go. If we get inundated, then we will put a marker on it. So that's just a little thing for you guys to know. If you want to make sure your questions are answered, get them in as soon as possible, but no real marker. That'll just go before anybody else, but feel free to drop your questions, whatever they are. We've got Sal on the ones and twos. He's going to be queuing them up and we're going to jump into. These questions we'll talk about a little giveaway in a little bit. So let's jump into this bad boy. And let's start up with our first and it's a super chat there. Whoops. Sorry, sorry. So, uh, this is from Ben. What do you think about this trade? This is a full point PPR burrow cook, Javante Higgins, Bauer, Swift Watson. Is this the T oh my God. This is Watson Godwin kid. This is an entire team traded. Oh no, that's the team. I was like, I panicked at first too. I was like, well, I was like, please. Don't bring these trades to me where you've traded 45 players for 32 players, uh, traded Javante and Godwin for Niko and tootin. So he's leading out that his team, he had Javante, he had Godwin, and then he just added Niko Collins and a tootin in there. So do you think the Javante for tootin downgrade, if you will, was worth the upgrade from Godwin to Niko Collins? Cause I sure do. I love this trade for you because you can take that risk at running back because you've got the. Both, uh, cook and swift. So if it doesn't pan out, it's not that big a deal. You've got depth there as well at running back little Coleman. So yeah, you've got, this one is good. I like that trade for you. Big upgrade at wide receiver to something better, um, in terms of upside and health and, uh, youth. So yes, I'm, I'm down with that one. Okay. What would you grade it? Um, B plus a, a minus eight. I mean, I think this is like a, a minus, if not maybe better. Cause I just, I'm not sure the downgrade from Williams to tootin is that dramatic, the upgrade. Is dramatic up to Niko Collins. So this, this screams some version of an a to me. Yeah. I mean, we got to remember receiving volume is a little limited in terms of yard. Ethnic to catch for Devante Williams. So this is a solid a for me. Good job, Ben. Good, good job. All right. First one up in the books there. Uh, I think I got these sell. Don't worry about that. And then also, uh, Ben message, uh, messages to say, thanks to Wisconsin native fits and D bro for helping me decide on my keeper and my touchdown heavy league. When we thought gentee lost a leg. So Ben, Ben just sending in nice thoughts to the boys. Uh, yeah, everybody is rocking right now. Those guys are great. I'm excited to get into in season. I gotta be honest with you. I love seeing all these draft stuff. I love you guys. Um, you know, throwing out the, the appreciation for these guys. I'm excited to get into my regular schedule. So I get to start seeing all of these guys on a regular basis. Me and Erickson are attached at the hip here at fantasy pros, but I get to do a little bit more with Fitzy coming up. I'm actually not sure what I've got with D bro, but they're the best. And, uh, thank you guys for hanging out with us because you guys are the best metal James in the house format for keeper on the super chat, full PPR, 10 team, pretty standard, uh, two wide receiver, two running back to flex, keeping a Marion McBride, London, and Caleb thoughts on what I should do in the first four or five rounds. So we've, uh, it's pretty diverse. You've got your high end tight end, your high end quarterback, one wide receiver, one, uh, running back. It's the smells of BPA, but what does that BPA look like to you? Because presumably you're going to have 10 team, let's say the top 15 ish running backs at least are going to probably be off the board. Probably the same thing about wide receivers, maybe even a little bit more. So the pool you're looking at, maybe there's a breeze hall floating out there, probably tootin Jutkins. Those are the type of running backs. The wide outs might look a little bit better. Maybe there's a waddle floating out there. So like what obviously BPA feels good, but what range would you want to try to target? Yeah, you make a very good point on what's available. I think my cutoff would be swift or higher. If anyone in that range is available, then yeah, I would target that and then do wide receiver. But if not, you probably got some leeway to target a lot of those wide receivers who weren't kept. So lean wide receiver, heavy there. You've got two flexes, so that's fine. Yeah. And then hit running back maybe in the, uh, tootin, uh, price, uh, Henderson kind of range there. And with it being full PPR, I'm more likely to probably push towards. To wide receiver, unless, you know, there was some cool thing to happen with, uh, with a running back. I mean, I think, um, uh, swift is like probably a really good example. I just don't know if there's going to be any of those running backs that catch a lot of balls that are going to be super fun to get. So you might end up wanting to focus on wide receivers, especially as I'm looking and I'm outside the top 15 wide receivers. Like I said, waddle. What if a McConkie is out there? Egg Bucca? I can't imagine, but what if he got thrown back because of the injuries? So I think that, yeah, I think the pool of like. Terry McLaurin, DJ more, and maybe a few of those other names is probably better than reaching for some of those running backs. So James, that's what, uh, that's what I would probably end up doing. So I think we're kind of lockstep here. All right. Uh, let's jump into it. More questions, all of your questions for the next hour and more super chats. That's how you get into it. Colin, do I hold on to Caleb Douglas or Emmett Johnson? Bigger producer will be Caleb or Jacoby lane and then start, uh, Brooks Mondray or may. Okay. So let's, uh, work this through here. Uh, Douglas or Emmett Johnson. That's a pretty easy. Emmett Johnson for me. Yeah. And I, and I still think that Douglas has potential, uh, how much of Chris Bell will we see right off the bat? So that's the question there, but long run, you probably want to lock in the, what appears to be the direct handcuff. I'm going to be, I'll be straight with you guys. I'm all on Chris Bell. Like a lot of people didn't think Chris Bell was going to be out there early in the first 10 minutes. We talked about this on the tailgate channel. If you guys just like real NFL talk, you know, I can do tailgate NFL on YouTube. You can find us, we're going to actually be doing like three shows, uh, in season a week and one is going to be live. But I talked about the Chris Bell thing in the first 10 minutes, he was targeted like five times. There hasn't been a true wide receiver. I'm drafting him everywhere. Uh, Bogman and I, in our auction draft last night, we went studs and scrubs. It's a 12 team. We grabbed Chris Bell at the end, the 16 team tags league that we just did. It's a monster. Chris Bell was one of my final picks. I'm taking him everywhere. So I like him over Douglas. Emmett Johnson is just like the lock here. Now, who do you think is a bigger producer this year? Douglas or Jacoby lane? I am a Jacoby lane truth there. So I'm loving the, uh, propaganda he's starting. I think he can push Rashad Bateman out of the way. So it's lane for me. I am with you. I'm going to go with lane and then start Brooks, Ramondre or Mason week one. I, I, I lean towards, well, okay. It depends on what we hear with Chuba. The Panthers have been fairly transparent. So if we do hear that he's, you know, he'll be ready, but maybe he's a little limited. If he's not ready, this is a clear Brooks, but if he's, you know, in there kind of, and they're going to split carries, I might lean towards Brooks. Then Mason, I, I am not playing around with Ramondre Steven or Stevenson or Travion Henderson this week. It's against Seattle. We don't know what the split is going to be. Just give it a week before you mess around with it. Yeah. I think Brooks is where I'm going to go with this one overall, because also I just like the potential of what he's going to be in the passing game. So, and, and then the 16 team league, I don't want you to feel about this. I'm going to kind of sprinkle this in 16 teams are monsters. And I under, I think a few of us. Underestimated the running back spot. I had the third pick in the tags league and Bijan and Gibbs won. went one two erickson and wormley and i really thought about mcafree but i decided to go jamar chase that ended obviously that feels great obviously that got scary because running backs went crazy so my number one is bucky but my number two is jonathan brooks i felt like i got really good upside because i also did invest in trey mcbride who fell all the way back into the second or third round where i ended up getting him um but i have to start jonathan brooks in a 16 team league as an rb2 but that's that's the type of upside i think i'm willing to play with so i'm heavily invested what do you think about him as a 2 in a 16 team league in 16 team um i'm cool with it yeah i mean because you're pushing right maybe you had to push it back a little bit at the very least we know that they want this to be 50 50 so i'm okay with it in a 16 team league all right uh oh perfect this is good because i wanted to point out you guys are doing great with the super chats again just reminding everybody we'll definitely be attempting um to get to all of your questions even if you don't super chat i will do different points of doing that but super chat's gonna get the priority here so if you have a priority question make sure you super chat it like people are doing there is one in here our boy greg didn't put one so either you love us or if you missed one put your question in the chat sal is scouring and oh perfect look at that he found it sal's a pro uh hampton this is his hampton or collins for a fourth keeper in a four keeper 18 league with custom ppr scoring oh what's the custom first three keepers are taylor chase and jefferson so a glut of riches here already two great wide receivers and a four keeper 18 league receivers would you i'm assuming whether it's three wide receiver flex maybe it doesn't matter would you want to go with the rb to kind of shore that up or if there's custom ppr scoring that maybe favors that more do you think nico collins is just a smash because then you got three top 10 wide receivers which uh which spot would you go in here yeah i mean typically speaking like in rankings i have i would take hampton over collins but we're talking 18 full ppr custom custom settings and you have taylor as your rb1 so that's a lot of guaranteed volume you can get a little bit you can push in it's 18 you can push back a couple of rounds there on your next running back so yeah i might i might lean towards collins and you've got bang bang bang with three top 12 wide receivers this is a super tough one for me because the other thing is though an 18 league with only four keepers the player pool is going to be tremendous it's going to be a tremendous player pool yeah four keepers like when you do when you guys come to me and you say two keepers that's a redraft league to me it's just too cool and i want to go off of redraft settings four keepers towing the line just imagine i think you what you might be leaving out here is if that ppr custom scoring does something else special i think there's a world where you just grab nico collins you have the greatest wide receivers in a custom ppr format eight teams there's probably still some good running backs out there if it's three wide receiver i think i'm 100 doing that if it's two wide receiver i think i'll lean back to hampton so we gave you a couple of options there greg if you want to go in monster super chat in here from adam thoughts on this lineup let's do it uh jayden daniels at quarterback running backs marion hampton bucky irving wide receivers amana saint brown chris olave tight end is tucker craft benches dobbins parker washington quentin johnston aaron jones and george kittle what this has got to be a 10 maybe this is a 12 team this feels very 10 team ish here yeah i love this i'm in brown this year i'm heavily invested in bucky i love parker washington the only thing i'm pseudo against on my like kind of trying to avoid team is jayden daniels but even that is kind of silly i'm worried about the offensive line that it's going to make everything just toast maybe he's going to be able to overcome it uh but i think you have an absolutely insane starters that's why i feel like this is a 10 team i don't like dobbins but i love parker washington frankly i would cut dobbins to go get jonah coleman right now if it's a short league but i love everything else so i'm going to give this a 10 team i'm going to give this a 10 team i'm going to give this a 10 team i'm going to give this like a b plus i think but i understand if you want to give it an a what do you think tara yeah i can go the same range because i love all the wide receivers here every single one of them so that is big plus for me if this is full ppr um with you my my only issue is it's interesting jayden daniels but it depends on the value that you got for him like if you drafted him i guess we could kind of deduct and do the math and see where it was but yeah yeah 100 yeah it's funny we did a bold predictions a recorded a bold prediction show today in uh erickson's bold prediction was jayden daniels does not finish as a top 12 quarterback so because there's as you mentioned the offensive line there's risk you got the older receivers yeah it's shaky but if it pays off this is high upside yeah erickson and i did a special series that's coming out like it's just crazy different series but just for you guys to know we did a final rank change last minute rank update for you guys that have drafts this weekend or you guys have got drafts on labor day and what it was was we were actually identifying ecr changes where rankers expert consensus rankers are going in and we're seeing those change up and i'm only saying all this we did a quarterback tight end episode of running back and a wide receiver but we spent some time after talking and we were heavy talking i knew daniels was coming up and he said he had that and i was like i don't know what level he was gonna do but i knew he was gonna kind of smash uh daniels a little bit go check that episode out that's pretty awesome but yeah uh did you i'm sorry did you give a grade on this i said i'm gonna say b plus did you yeah it's like a b for me yeah it's a b okay well and was it just daniels or was there one other piece that you didn't like uh running backs don't say bucky you're gonna say bucky sorry i hope he gets more goal line touches than he got last year which was zero so um yeah i don't love buck but it's rb2 but i don't love bucky and then i think gobbins will be a wash at some point very quickly unfortunately due to injury and then we'll see what happens next week we'll see what happens next week we'll see what happens next week don't know if it could be a true committee of them putting in jonah coleman right away and then how long is aaron jones gonna last so yeah you could be my thing is you could be thin at running back so i would like you to get some options that are more likely to make it through the season yeah even more so if this was a 10 team league this is a pretty rough uh rb bench um even in a 12 team this is still a little bit rough but you just have like such strong starters i bet you if you put this in the draft assistant by the way if you want grades uh you can go in and you can sink you can go to fantasyprose.com slash draft assistant you even if the draft is done you can import your league and then it'll give you the draft grades it'll say where it projects you it can tell you the analysts that like it i highly suggest going and do that and then you can also look at the team strengths on the spider chart to see um you know some suggestions and what you could have done differently so go and check that out and if you do adam and if you do it during the show pop back in and tell us what uh where you finish and what the grade looked like and we'll uh we'll bring it up there monster a super chat for you all right we're gonna do a couple more super chats here and then i want to get a couple of the other questions and stay tuned for a giveaway here but grand here's one i did a 14

with fannin for volume pretty quarterback i mean yeah i i i like this team a lot man it's an it's an a for me for a 14 team you did that i like it a lot you almost made me curse because i love this team so much i love for a 14 team for you to have jsn smith and waddle is stupid for you to have walker and tootin is stupid i'm not a big like fannin guy but still you got a great tight end algier is probably going to get some early run in here as well with a low i love this team i think you're going to absolutely kill it killer job uh especially considering you don't even need to like consider this as a 14 team but in context i love this team yeah what the Quentin Johnson there. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, I almost blurted something out. Steve, Steve is either just a lovely super chat or a missed question, but we can find it back up and Sal can let me know. Let's do, or did you already find it? Oh, no question from Steve. So Steve just loves us or we'll find it and we'll get you covered here. Let's go to Kevin. Offered to trade Ladd and Gainwell for Emeka Igbuka and Pollard. What are your thoughts? PPR, they've got Bijan, Warren, Lloyd, and Ken Walker already. So really strong at running back here, but offered to trade. So you were offering your Ladd and Gainwell to get Pollard and Igbuka. So where do you sit? I guess this is really like, where do you sit Ladd versus Igbuka? So you're trading for guys that I have ranked higher than the other ones. So yes, I have Igbuka higher. You know, yes, we got the injury situation going on. I don't know who your other wide receivers are, but with the possibility of him being ready for week one, he's working with trainers on the side of the field. So. So at the end of the day, that one is, I'm okay with that. It's a very lateral move for me with exact same upside and I have him ranked just a little bit higher than Ladd. I do have Pollard ranked higher. You know, he's going to get the majority of the volume, obviously a lesser team situation, but at the end of the day, I'd rather have the guy who is actually the RB1. So yeah, I like this. All right. I, uh, I think I'm with, I'm an Igbuka guy. So I think this is like a solid trade, even more protection. I like Igbuka over Ladd. So then getting, I have Pollard over Gainwell. So this is just kind of like a, a, a no brainer for me. Yeah. Uh, all right. We got a couple more super chats that are still in the queue. So don't worry. I see a couple of people like, oh no, I was missed. You're not going to be missed. We got you coming up next year. And then we are going to be dipping in, uh, to the rest of the market on what you guys have got. But I want to talk about some giveaways. How would you guys like a potential RB1 autograph?

You've got better odds. So go and do that. But specifically say something nice about me and Tara. That'll it won't actually get you extra points, but like it's not going to hurt. Right. All right. Let's go to short. I think. Would you trade London, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Rashad White? Yeah. Yeah. You get Jackson Smith in Jigba. If you're solid at wide receiver and Marvin Harrison Jr. is not a meaningful part of your starting lineup as a flex, then yes. I think so, too. I don't think that's a yeah, that's not enough depth for me to not want to do it. Yeah. Maybe it's tougher. Like to your point, if Marvin Harrison is your wide receiver three and then you don't have much else, but if Marvin made Marvin's maybe a four or maybe Marvin's your three, but you've also got like one Dale is a four and then maybe you got like another solid dude as a three. I have no problem with this. I don't think Rashad White holds, again, enough depth that I wouldn't do that. So I'm down with that. I like that. All right. Xbox Wizard. What's up, pros? I invested in Josh Jacobs. Oh, I invested in Josh Jacobs investor. I think you just mean you're an investor. It's 14 man league and my pass catchers from wide receiver tight end and flex are very strong. Do I pursue a trade for a running back? Backup is Algier or grit. My teeth. Good question. I love Algier, by the way, very early on this year, and I think he could be sneaky, but not a lot's going to help you as the weeks kind of go on. So if you have strength at your other positions, would you lessen the strength to go get some version of running back depth? I don't know what that's going to look like. How would you approach something like this without knowing the players? I would. I know it's tough, especially 14 team. I would try to make that trade if you can right now, especially if you're trading for maybe. Um, a lower end, like a high end RB three or something like that, that could maybe pop off early in the beginning of the season. Lock it in now because yeah, I don't feel very good about Jacob's return in season. So I would go ahead and make a move. Um, yeah. And then, yeah, I think I'm, I'm going to co-sign with, with you on that one. This can be tricky. The Josh Jacobs, uh, man in the tags league, we just did the 16 team. I even had points where the running back depth was so bad. I mean, luckily we did this later. So no, I don't know. No one was like taking Jacobs in the third or fourth round, but Jacobs was there when we were drafting like RB threes and fours. And I, I was sitting there tempted, but it's just, we don't know. So I do think you have to, um, you've got to make a move. You got to make some type of a move. Uh, feel free to come back. You can bring it if there's a little bit more clarity on like what that could end up looking like. Cause I know that's tricky, but, um, wood stuff and you are welcome. I said, thank you. Thank you. And then also Kevin for Kevin super chat. Uh, this is from Sal. He followed. Saying his other wide receivers, Devonta Smith. I don't even remember which one that was unless that was the eight team offered. Oh, Oh, this is this one. Oh, Oh, okay. Ooh. Yeah. Yeah. Sick. Okay. Makes us like it more. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. All right. Let me see, uh, where we are at on super chat. We just did X-Box. Okay. So now I'm caught back up here. We did grand. We had Steve. I think we're going to get to some, not, Oh, you have one more. Here and then we'll get to, we have like two more and then we're going to get to some other questions. Feel free to continue dropping super chats. I'm not going to cap them for this episode. I just don't think we're going to be in a bad spot there. So please feel free to keep dropping those super chats in here. Uh, price or remand. Dre price feels like the Heiler ceiling. This is from Dylan. He is. Yeah. We don't know at some point. Um, both, you know, both of these guys in theory have other running backs that are nipping at the heels, but I feel the probability of rice or sorry, price becoming a true RB one compared to the probability. Of Ramadre Stevenson is higher. I feel like Stevenson will be in that split constantly and we know who the more talented back is. So it's price for me. Price for me too. I mean, Halani is going to get a little bit of run here, but price is just going to have like a really easy runway. So I'm going to, I'm going to go with the upside there. Uh, wallaby 12 man PPR at the one to Bijan Bowers, neighbors, more burrow Brooks, Rico BTJ. Am I cooked? So your starters are Jonathan Brooks and Bijan, your wide receivers. Our neighbors, DJ Moore, BTJ, and then, or no, yeah, Bijan, Bijan Brooks, Rico, and then your quarterback is burrow. I'm not sure why I would think this is cooked. I mean, you did sacrifice wide receiver for doing the early tight end and neighbors might be a little bit of risk, but I mean, I unfortunately would say this kind of reads to me like a B minus type of team. You need a couple of things to go your way, but I really liked the DJ more pick and add it in there. What do you think about this team? You're not. Cooked long-term. You could be cooked for the first couple of weeks if neighbors, cause we still don't really have any kind of like 100% confirmation or even if he'll be, you know, ramped up very slowly. So if you would have to put BTJ into your lineup, considering the early season matchups that he had, you might be a little bit cooked to start off with, but long-term long-term, this can work out perfectly fine. So no, you're not cooked. It might hurt at the beginning of the season, but I think you should be fine as we progress. What was, uh, what grade would you give? I'm giving like a B B minus. I mean, I'm not going to be being fair about that. You got, you had to get a top tier quarterback. You've got the best tight end. You've got the best running back. Neighbors could end up being, I mean, maybe I'm underselling him a little bit. It's a B for me because we have to assume at some point neighbors is going to, he's not starting on the pot. Look, so you've already started off with that on a positive note. So yeah, it's a B it's a B. Uh, Carson super flex. I pick five. What, who is your top five? This is going to come. This is going to come to a bunch of strategy stuff. So bottom line, let me rephrase the question to you, Tara. Are you taking the fifth quarterback off of your board? Whoever that is, if that's Burrow or Jalen hurts, or are you taking the top positional player, which is likely going to be a B Jean or Jameer Gibbs? What are you doing at five? It would help to know if this is like a 10 team or a 12 team, but maybe it doesn't quite matter. What, uh, what are you doing? So a lot of people are going B Jean and Gibbs and chase fairly early and super flex drafts. So it is. It is entirely possible that this pick, like I did a super flex mock draft, uh, yesterday and fourth pick, I took Lamar Jackson. So you could very well have Drake may there, or even maybe Lamar Jackson, if we get another running back that goes before. So yeah. Um, if it, I prioritize quarterback, if you do have, uh, Lamar Jackson or Drake may there that I'd probably stop it at that and say, okay, from that point forward, pivot to the best available at another position. Yep. I think that's so. - So, if this is a 10 team, I am going all in. one of the five of the top three quarterbacks, Allen, May, Jackson, or I'm going Jameer Bijan, if it's a 10 team. If it's a 12 team, I think I'm doing the same thing, if I'm being honest with you. I might potentially slide in a Burrow or something like that, but I think I'm going to hold to it. 10 team or 12 team, I'm taking one of the three quarterbacks, and then I'm looking at one of the two running backs. 10 team makes me feel way better about it. I do like some of the leader-ish quarterbacks that you can make it happen, but here's the trick, is I think you've got to have the discipline. If you do take Jameer Gibbs or Bijan Robinson, you've got to have the discipline. When you come back and you see Brock Purdy as the second round pick and you feel disgusted because there's also Drake London sitting there, you've got to have the discipline to get your quarterbacks. I've done some of these mocks where I'll take a quarterback in the fourth and fifth round, and I'm still okay with it. Especially in a 10 team, you could do that, but it usually comes from me being at 9 or 10 or 11 because then it's like, hey, I'm getting a top position player and I double tap them. Five is a little bit tricky, but just have the discipline to do it and don't be afraid to take any of those top positional players. If you were faced with Jameer Gibbs or Lamar Jackson, are you still going to take Lamar? I would lean towards Gibbs. Yeah, that would be the cutoff. Yeah. It's tough, but I would lean towards Gibbs. I would. I would go with the quarterback there. That's a tough one there. All right. I believe, if I am seeing this correctly, we have exhausted our super chats. So super chats are open. If you would like to jump the line, is that correct? Yep. No supers left right now. So we are going to go back up to the queue and we're going to start answering some of your questions. Sal has been pinging them. I'm going to do these for a little bit regardless. And then if you guys want to drop any more super chats, you will jump the line and we'll get your questions in. So let's go check out what Colby has to say. Super chat. Super flex draft tonight, picking four. Oh, there you go. 10 team half PPR thinking of, this is just like what we said, taking Gibbs chase, whoever falls and then punting quarterback. I hate punting quarterback and super flex. I'm the wrong person to talk about punting, but we just said, I think you can do third or fourth round or maybe fourth or fifth round in a 10 team for sure. But I do not like punting. If you're telling me like, cool, dude, I'm going to have shuck and cam ward. I hate it. I absolutely hate it. Uh, yeah, I would take Gibbs in because in 10 team, once you come around to the third round, you'll still have something in a viable strong. Cause we've got, you know, think about it. Like we've got the intent team. We would have the pretty, uh, you know, Stafford up to Stafford, Josh Jacob or not Josh Jacobs, Jesus, Jared golf. So yeah, there's, there's flexibility in terms of what you'd be able to do to come around to the third and then the fourth as well. So I'm okay with taking Gibbs and then pushing your quarterback. To the third round and then fourth. Me too. Um, a couple of things. If we look at the fantasy pros ranks, you can actually just click on super flex and you can see what it looks like. According to ECR, they've got burrow at four. I got no problem. If you want to take Gibbs there and then coming back, that would be around pick 16 or 17. Your quarterbacks. You're probably looking at is something like a Trevor Lawrence, Dak Prescott, or a Purdy. If you don't want to do that, maybe you're looking at an Amonra or Christian McCaffrey. And then if you went third round, you're looking at a Purdy or a Bodie. If you didn't do that. And then we move into, you know, the fourth round. This is where I think you can do it. And this is no later than I would go. You could go like a Kyler and a Jordan love or a Kyler and maybe Malik Willis. Like that's how I would want to do it. So I'm cool. If you want to do the first three picks in positional and take advantage of that, especially in a 10 team, I think that rocks. So punting isn't the word I would use, but I know a lot of people like to do it. Uh, that's a, that's a tough one here. TCB eight man, two running back, two wide receiver, two flex rate. My draft. Uh, we've got Hertz and Dak Swift Hampton, scat hall, HN Bucky wide receivers are neighbors. Wilson flowers, waddle burden tight end is Loveland. Any suggested moves? Uh, this is obviously it's really solid because it's an eight man and it's only two wide receiver. I will say I might ding you slightly because I would want better wide receivers, um, in this a little bit. So like, this is like a B plus a. Minus, but I like the quarterback stuff. I think you're running backs or so it's just like, I'm looking at this and I'm like, where's the high end running back and high end wide receiver. The two high ends are Hampton and neighbors and an eight team. I feel like you could have done better than that. So I'm going to, yeah, I'm going to stick to a B plus, but you know, it's, it was a great fricking team. That's a good point. I like this team, but I do. Yeah. I do question an eight team that the first two were coming around that way. So, um, B for me would have liked a higher end. Yeah. So the suggested move for me would be take one of those running backs and maybe put one of those wide receivers together and try to package them. I mean, listen, dude, you're putting that if even at flex, if you're starting lineup is, I'm just staring at this, let's say it's a Chan and Hampton and then wide receivers and flex are neighbors, Wilson flowers and waddle like that rocks. But could you go and take a breeze hall and a Garrett Wilson? Maybe not those two, but you know what I'm getting at? Like those, those two combo like that. And then, and then you go upgrade it wide receiver. That's what I would want to do. I would try to do at least. So that's what I would be looking at. And I believe that was salary cap too. So that makes a little bit, a little bit trickier, uh, rank JSN, a Monroe St. Brown, CMC, JT fifth pick in an upcoming draft 12 team, full PPR. How would you do that? For me, it is JT, JSN, Amin, Ross, CMC. I know that I am not the normal on that because of the CMC portion of that, but that is my preference. Number one for me, because it's full point PPR and running back into 12 team. Then I would go JSN, Amin, raw, uh, JT. So we're not a lot of help. I think we might be like literally like polar opposites on that, but it's just like Christian. Yeah. It's just why Christian McAfee catches 90 plus passes a game and it's full PPR and he's volume. So if you do believe he's going to get hurt again, then I guess that doesn't help. But yeah, wide receivers, maybe JSN is your answer. Then if you want to do that. Uh, we've got a super chat in here. We'll, which we'll do, or maybe we've got a couple here. We'll do in just a second. I just want to get a few more to peoples in here. Let's just jump around and let's do this thoughts on roster in super flex may and Allen at quarterback rice and flowers at wide receiver Hampton and Swift at running back, likely at tight end top flex is DJ more and Godwin. I don't know what, if this is a 12 team, dude, this is, this is my, I mean, I don't like rice specifically, but yeah, taking the player out and just doing the balance of it. This is my type of team. I love this team. This was really done really well done for super flex. So yeah, the only portion of it is the, just the rice portion, but I mean, yeah, to sacrifice that for the fact that you invest it into high end quarterbacks. Um, I'm fine with that. Yeah, we went, uh, in our pentathlon, we had an auction, super flex. We, uh, Bogman and I, we share a team cause it's like a bigger money thing. Uh, we went Drake may and Trevor Lawrence, and we went high in there. And then we also went, we went high end there. And then we also went, we went studs and scrubs in the auction and our wide receivers were a Montero, St. Brown, Drake, London, and Christian McCaffrey at running back. So we went true studs and scrubs, but I like going in with that roster. And I liked those high end quarterbacks, uh, chase Brown or Ken Walker from Newton. I have chase Brown higher. Uh, you know, ultimately Ken Walker could have the higher upside if everything goes perfect and all the goal line opportunities are there and there's no, you know, and he doesn't get hurt or anything like that. Chase Brown is just the safer pick, especially in full PPR, you know, constant. RB one for you. Yep. I with you. I am with you. All right, let's get back to some super chats here. Uh, you guys are loading a few up here. Um, tied in one Jawan Ferguson, Dalton or Terrence Ferguson, full 12 team PPR. Um, I was just updating tight end rankings and I do believe I still have, well, let me not lie. I've got, uh, I believe in theory, I still have, RB Ferguson Ferguson over Jawan, but did I, yeah, it's one spot literally that, you know, RB I love Jawan Johnson. I would say it's Ferguson, Jawan Johnson, and then I'm sorry, uh, Jake Ferguson, um, Jawan Johnson and then Terrence Ferguson would be number three for me because of the upside, but Ferguson, uh, Jake, and then Jawan Johnson would be my ranking of that. So we're both on Ferguson, but we both, I feel like we both want, I mean, I don't know who is two for you. Was it Jawan Johnson? It was. Yep. I kind of want to say Jawan Johnson, especially early on in the season. All right, Cameron, what you got, man, 10 team PPR. We're going to start two wide receivers and one flex team is Hertz, Zay T Concepcion, Godwin, Parker, Washington, uh, with Gibbs, Ken Walker, Henry Lloyd, Gainwell, Goddard and fan and okie doke. So the starters, uh, wide, uh, running back or Gibbs and Ken Walker. So let's get through that wide receivers are Zay and T and then your, or flex is just like what, probably Parker Washington, to be honest. And then you got two tight ends. Do I trade one of the running backs for a top tier top in tight end? So maybe you didn't tell us, is this like a two tight end or why, why, why would you do that? I think I'm guessing maybe that maybe, um, Cameron views fanon as on his way down. Cause I know there are a lot of people that are kind of excluding fanon out of the high end elite options because of playing for the Browns and the new, uh, rookie receiver, uh, rookie receiver, uh, rookie receiver, uh, rookie receiver is coming through very strong there. So I get that, but I don't think you need to, I don't think you need to at all. One thing you could do is if you could pack it, because, like, I get what you're getting at. He has Gibbs, Walker, and Derrick Henry. Yeah. And now he's battling. Now I realize Derrick Henry is probably your flex option or Parker Washington. If you wanted to take Marshawn Lloyd and take the hype of that and then pair Fannin with him and you could upgrade and get a Tucker Craft or, yeah, like in that range. You'd have to be higher for me to make that jump. Yeah, who the hell am I? Why can't I say the name? Warren. Tyler Warren. I couldn't say Tyler Warren. Tyler Warren would be the one I'd be trying to target. But I will notice that maybe the issue is that they've got Concepcion and Fannin, so maybe it's trying to get around that of the double up there. But still, I mean, but you have a lot of cap. I mean, if anything, Loki, I might upgrade, you know, see what I could buy with those running backs for a higher end wide receiver one maybe of anything. I think you're fine. I like that idea. If you could trade Derrick Henry and you could upgrade. If you could trade Derrick Henry. And T. Higgins together and you could combo and get like, would you do that for Drake London or is that not enough? You need a little bit more. I just don't think you can get like a Jefferson or I just don't think you can get those type of guys. I think you might be able to get a Jefferson. All right. I think you could. Let me ask you, did you not like, do you think Fannin and Marshawn Lloyd would take more than Tyler Warren? Do we need like a Loveland? Really? Yeah, because I think you need to go ahead and value Lloyd. I understand that it's not the season hasn't started. We don't know how this backfield is going to pan out, but I think you need to capitalize on the assumption that we are not going to see Josh Jacobs, that he that Lloyd has the priority there as the RB one and that this is a run heavy offense. So you can sell a dream there and don't don't sell low because for all we know, legitimately, if the man were to play a full season and make it through. Yeah, he could. He could put up. I don't hate it. I'm just I'm taking Caleb Johnson at the end of every draft now. So, you know, taking some first team reps. But yeah, I mean, maybe I'm underselling it, too. Maybe you. Hey, what about? Just Marshawn Lloyd straight up for Tyler Warren. Yeah. I mean, I think that could still play. So I think we gave you, Cameron, a lot of different options you can kind of work with. Wallaby, 10 man PPR, Bijan at 1-1 to have in both leagues. Yeah. Every single league you can have Bijan in, have him. It's glorious and be happy with it. Love it. Shade, grade, please. 12 team full PPR, two wide receiver, two running back, two flex. We've got Goff and Nix. Jamar. Yeah. Jamar. Jamar. London. Jamar Chase. London. Jamar Chase. Oh, God, I could not. I guess the extra R wasn't there. I was missing that. Jamar. London. Javante. Price. Laporta. Tootin. Watson. Bench is Godwin. Johnston. Ferguson. We got Lane plus some handcuffs here. So your starters, you've got Jamar and London at wide out. Sick. Javante. And let's just call it Tootin at running back. And then two flex. You could probably put out Price and Watson. So I kind of I kind of like that. I mean, maybe. If you don't want what? Maybe there's a little bit of a opening there for Price. But what do you think? What are you going to grade this 12 team? This is pretty strong. This is a I like this a lot. This is an effective use of punching quarterback to an appropriate range there with Goff and Nix. I like the double up just in case the wide receiver start for you in the fact that you were able to still get Javante as a solid RB one. I love your wide receiver depth. Love your wide receiver depth. Yeah. So, yeah, I'm going to give this a I think it's an A. Mm hmm. Yeah. I mean, I like a little bit better quarterback. But Nix is like Nix is such a good deal. And I like that you actually did, too. I think a lot of people do that. They'll be like, oh, I got Bo Nix and I'm just good and I'm set. But you got like two guys that you can interchange. Like, that's my play. I know a lot of people don't like to do two quarterbacks in a 12 team. But if I'm like outside the top 10, like, why not just give me two of those guys? I prefer kind of Kyler. If I had Kyler and Bo Nix and I could interchange them like say that that makes me feel really good about trying to create a number one quarterback unless you screw up and you make all the wrong options and you start them incorrectly. But Jason, what's up, Jason? 12 team PPR is Caleb Williams, James Cook, Hampton, JJ Neighbors, Andrews, Benches, Jonathan Brooks, DJ Moore, JMO, Parker Washington, Wilson, Jonah Coleman. Who do I drop? Kincaid is on waivers. Absolutely nobody. No. Andrews. If you want to do it, you drop Andrews for Kincaid. You don't drop a single position player on that team. I have them ranked back to back. Honestly, I would rather see, you know, what kind of juice Andrews has left and call it a day. And hey, if it doesn't work out, you got waivers. 10 teams. So yeah. Dude, just here's a reminder. I don't mean to dude everybody here, but DJ Moore, Jamison Williams, Parker Washington, Michael Wilson. Those are your four wide receivers on your bench. Brooks and Jonah Coleman on your bench at running back. I mean, I suppose you could like shore that up a little bit, but that's not the question. It's just you can't drop a single one of those players for Kincaid. So yeah, I'm indifferent. I would probably go Kincaid over Andrews because I don't believe. But I know a lot of smart people you agree and you're there that Andrews is the one. So whatever you want. Yeah, exactly. You can brough in the baseball. Look at my face there. Isn't that the worst? Someone screened. This is where that came from, by the way. Someone screenshotted that and then put that as like a promotional tweet. And I had a whole meltdown. I was like, who looked at that picture and was like, let's put that in a tweet. I look insane. I mean, I am a little insane, but that looked insane. Did it have the brough? Brought it too? Yeah. No, we put the brough because I brought everybody. I was like, what are we doing, dude? Brough. All right, Colin. Thoughts on my team. 12 team half PPR. One flex. My RB2 is weak. Yes. Quarterbacks are May and Lawrence. Love. Running backs are Hampton, Ramondre, Brooks, Mason, Mitchell, Emmett Johnson. Wide receivers are Jefferson, Waddle, Higgins, Downs, Lane with tight ends of Loveland and Kittle. Is this a super flex? Did he just not tell us? It's not. So he just invested in a little bit earlier in a QB two in a tight end two that I would have ideally liked. And that's why you're a little weaker running back, but at least being weaker at running back, which, you know, you've got guys that all have potential for the most part. Mitchell, we obviously injury concerns already, buddy. But yeah, I mean, I am staring at this and it's like, yeah, you know, you're running back situation. Brooks might really pay you off. I guess I keep staring at. And it's just like, I would just trade one. I ain't got to be honest with you. I might put me out there because I think Trevor Lawrence can be a top five fantasy quarterback this year. If May could bring me back. I know he didn't get drafted this way, but if he could bring me back a high end running back, that's an upgrade. I would consider that because I'm just not sure you need both of those. And if I had to do like May and Kittle together and package those and you could go and get. I mean, I don't want to say Brees Hall because I'm not into Brees Hall, but that range. That's the range. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, even to be honest. With you, even a tootin, even a May for tootin or something like that would be good. So I would consider something like that. Thoughts on the team. It's just a strong team. Your wide receivers are sick. You've got a high end tight end, a high end quarterback. You did so many things, right? You just need to figure out how to upgrade that running back position without something awesome happening for you. You know, Ken Walker goes down. Emma Johnson becomes amazing. Jonathan Brooks just takes over. Like, I think this team is so good. You should figure out how to not have to have something like that happen to make your team amazing. Yeah. But great question. Mike, half PPR, number one pick. Am I crazy to want Jay Williams at the two, Javante Williams at the two, three turn as my running back two has an elite offense, great offensive line and not split in the backfield with anyone. So you're essentially saying number one pick, you're going to go what Bijan or Jameer Gibbs. And then at the two, three turn, you want to reinvest and you want to do high end running back there. So is that a crazy thing? Because if he's on the turn, he's going to get whatever the great wide receiver is. So do you think? Do you think it's advantageous to pass up whatever that running or that wide receiver looks like to have two RVs? If that is the guy that you want, that is perfectly fine. Because when we're looking at Javante, he's not going to make he's a he's the 305. So that's not that you take him there or it's not going to make it back to you. So, yeah, I'm OK with that. But who else would you who else? So here's. Yeah. Big, big butt here is if a lobby is there. Here here's on ECR. Here are the players that are there at 24 down. Olave, Neighbors, Devonta Smith, Zay Flowers, Kyron Williams, maybe Rasheed Rice and maybe George Pickens. Can you take Javante over any two of those players? No, but he's at the turn so he can do one in both. So you can go to Olave and Javante. No, that's my point, though. He could take Olave and Neighbors. Like my point is, is would you take Javante over? You have to take him over two of those players. So it depends on your risk tolerance, because I drafts look beautiful when you do that 100 percent. But running back runs do happen and you come around to yours in the fourth and then you're staring down Quinshawn Judkins. It happens. Right. So there is the risk. So I agree with you. I would ideally like that. And I'm OK with taking the risk and hoping that a Swift makes it back to me, a Travis Etienne maybe. But if not, you just got to deal with the reality of saying, hey, I might have to end up going doubling up. In the mid-tier RB2 range or low-end RB2 range and saying, I got to take a toot and hit a price back to back. So what about Genti versus Javante? I think if Genti was there, if Genti was there, I would take it. He is dropping. So I would take Genti over Javante. Yeah, I think you could do it. But I think when push comes to shove, you're going to stare at the players and you're going to be like, you know what I would do? Cheap plug. Go into the draft simulator and play around with this scenario. Just take the win. one spot, put in your league settings and see what a couple of the scenario, and you could, you don't have to do it against people. You could just do the bots, which is ECR. And then you could see what those scenarios look like and play around with it and see what you think about that. Because I think you're going to be faced with just such good options, especially at wide receiver. You're not going to want to do it, but I will say wide receiver is deep in that fourth, fifth round where if like one of like a book or something falls that you could justify it. I just wonder if there's going to be too many good options. So go play around with that. Very, very good question. Uh, love those ones. Um, Mr. Ruthless number two, pick full PPR. Should I go for a wide receiver or RB or RB, uh, RB wide receiver, wide receiver also, who should my brain is fried here. So what combination of wide receiver RBs do you want to do, uh, with the number two pick in a full PPR? With the number two pick, I am taking Bijan. So Bijan for me, and then I'll come around. And as you're saying, you just named all the wide receivers that you can ideally have once you come around in the second there. So I'm going Bijan wide receiver, wide receiver. And then again, I will risk it and hope that, uh, Travis ETN type will make it back to me in that fourth round. I think I'm also going RB wide receiver, wide receiver. Uh, but I'm very comfortable if I need to make that change. Uh, it says my fault to say rounds two and three, if they just say wide receiver running back, I think what I meant. Yeah. I think at this point, RB wide receiver, wide receiver is probably the most likely situation, but I think maybe the most important part of this is RB. Like I'm going Bijan or Jameer Gibbs with the two pick and then let's figure out what else happens. I will. Um, you know what I mean? You're going to get at least one receiver with one of those two picks. I just think as mentioned with the other one, we're just so much more likely to do that. You got luxury picks. You take your running backs and you don't have to worry about it. Yeah, exactly. Uh, all right. We actually, we have another one that just snuck in here. Chase, I'm in an 18 PPR. I'm at six. I want two running backs and then wide receiver later. Should I go six JT or cook and then 11 Saquon or Chase Brown if available. So what combination would, uh, except JGB, you're all these initials to be gone in this. Okay. So he's having the expectations of some of those players going, let's just do what he said, JT or cook, which I think you're definitely a JT person. I am JT, but it's, it's close. It's that deep. I mean, cook is very, very reliable. I like cook in this scenario, but I have no problem with JT and then Saquon or Chase Brown. I have Saquon ranked higher. Um, so I would in fact, now it's full PPR. So you might be more inclined to go with a combination of JT and Chase Brown, but I would shoot for the upside there of JT and Saquon for pure volume. Uh, I say one's in, I like Chase Brown. So we're on opposite ends of those. I'm like cooking Chase Brown, but I think those guys are also close in that range. I will say like, obviously Bijan's like a bit, if CMC was there, that's a smash for me, but you were JT, I think over CMC, uh, at six. So you're still JT. I would be a CMC over that group. Uh, Steve had a question earlier that I think it was super chatted and we missed. So, or it just wasn't up. So we'll get that. I'm in a 12 team keeper league auction. My keepers are Daniels, Hampton, Judkins, burden, don't want to Smith and Loveland. I've got two flex positions and a wide receiver slot open. I've got 87 of 200 left to use. So what's the question? Um, I w if you're looking at like what money you should be looking with two flexes and a wide receiver, I would go hardcore on the wide receiver spot. But okay. Here's a question of $87. Would you want to try to do an even split or would you go 50, 25, 25, as in 50% goes to one position and then you go lower 25 to one. I'm a big percentage guy in auctions. I did that last night. I make a spreadsheet and I go in and I do a projected money of what I want at the position and the players. And then I adjust live in drafts. So that's why I'm using percentages, but would you go heavy into one of those positions or would you want an even distribution? You know, I think I would lean in to heavy at wide receiver. And it's not that I don't, I I'm okay with relying on the wide receiver. I'm okay with relying on Devante Smith as your wide receiver one, but because of the riskiness of the Philadelphia offense, I might want to make sure that I share up something comparable to Devante Smith. So I've got two like high borderline wide receiver, one types. So I would probably lean a little heavier on wide receiver. Yeah. And you could do like 40, 40, 20, you know, four, so 40% of that budget. So it was a nine 25 to $30, you know, on each of the two spots. And then you go cheap on the final one. I think that's also an option, not trying to give you like too many or anything like that. So, um, all right. I think we had a super chat that we missed here. We will rock a little bit of, uh, we'll rock a little bit of a rapid fire here as much as we can, uh, rocking through here. Uh, probably, I would probably say I seen nib had a super chat, but no question. If our boy Sal finds it, we'll put that up. Probably say you guys don't want to super chat here, but if you do, throw one, we'll do it, but there's the slight chance it could get missed because we're going to try to rapid fire, uh, with taking scataboo over breeze hall, Bucky and blah, blah, blah, be a bad decision. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I'm sorry. Yeah. I'm not a scataboo guy, so I don't particularly like that. Um, okay. Sorry. I'm trying to do super chat. Uh, this is people talking. We don't want to have the, for, Oh, it looks, I'm not in the start. That's why, uh, what can I get in a trade for Marshawn Lloyd for the guy that drafted Jacobs? I think a, so we were kind of workshopping this earlier a little bit. I think you could get like a, uh, high, uh, mid tier wide receiver too. Maybe you think you could get a Buka? I don't think you can. No, you have to go a little lower, maybe low and wide receiver. Mike Evans kind of. Yeah. Well, I, which I wouldn't do because of all the, but that, that range of like a flip for a Jameson, like that kind of like a, yeah. Roma Dunzey, Jameson, Christian Watson kind of range. That would be what we're trying. We're not trying to give you the actual name. We're just trying to give you the general range. Uh, rapid fire. I'm not doing a good job. Uh, do running backs, Mike Washington, Algier and Bigsby have PPR standalone value. I definitely think Algier does. I'll be honest with you. When you look at the underlying metrics on Bigsby, you're just like, how do they keep him off? I know you have to say, but how do you keep it? I would say if I had to pick one, Algier has early season production. I think that's what I would want to be focused on, but I think Bigsby might be one of the sexiest handcuffs out there. Yeah. Especially committee portion we're seeing with Washington will lean more on the ground versus reception. So I would lean Algier as well. Would you trade Jonathan Brooks for Josh Jacobs? Nope. No, nope. Too scary. Absolutely not. Uh, what are your thoughts on HN and Devante Adams in general? Uh, yay. And meh. I love Devante Adams and best ball. It's going to be, you know, it could be a little stressful in terms of the, but I think the touchdown upside is still going to be high red zone I'm pro ish as a wide receiver three type, get a value on that. And I'm very pro ETN with Alan Camara century. Oh, right. Uh, Tara shirt looks just like the first rush album. Now I think that might've been what Scott fish is going for. Yeah. I think that's what they were doing there. Uh, thoughts on picking a tight end, uh, Bowers McBride or Loveland with the first, uh, with within first three rounds. So yay or nay on high end tight end. Yay. I'm I'm pro, uh, Bowers and McBride. I don't want to do Loveland in the third round. If I have to do Bowers, I'm comfortable. With that in a 10 team, I'm at the one three. Who do I go for? Assume Gibbs and Bijan out of the picture. I just had the three, but it was in a 16 team and it was Jamar chase. It used to be Puka, but the, all the stuff is kind of concerning me. So I think it's pretty easy. Jamar chase. Yeah. Chase. Yep. I'd like to say, uh, CMC, but it's not love or Danny dimes. Love love more volume. Yeah. I'm trying to get a few, uh, questions. Oh, it's a me that aren't too heavy. What's up, Chris? What's up? Uh, who are the top three in the list of handcuffs? Jonah Coleman, Keon black, Emmett Johnson, Vidal and Jalen Warren. It is, uh, not that order. It's Jonah Coleman. Number one with a bullet Emmett Johnson. And if I were handcuffing CMC, it's Jordan James is where I would go. So that would be the three. So I guess Coleman and Emmett of yours are the only ones I care about. Um, it is Coleman then Vidal for me and then Johnson. Okay. Yeah. Um, super chat. That was not picked 1213. Do you trust the depth that wide receiver in rounds three, four enough to go double running back at the turn or skipping receiver way too early? I have no, I love it because three, four, you can get, uh, a combo of Teta Roa. Um, I'm just really, really high in Agbuka this year, but you can also get waddle in that range. So I love it. Yep. Same. Okay. And that running back would probably look like what, like it can be your HN and, and, uh, maybe Barkley or something like that. Yeah. That's a common there. Chase Brown. It can be one of those picks. So yeah. All right. A couple of, Ooh, a couple of risky riskers with the late super chats that might not get answered. 12 team dynasty PPR tight end premium. Oh my gosh. This is not a lightning round trade Bowers Monongai to get gentee pits. The 27 first, uh, it's an 11 team with a wild roster here. So would you in a tight end premium? I'm not trading powers. So that's just, but yeah, I'm not interested. I don't think I'm willing either. Okay. No, uh, run breezy 12 man PPR quarterbacks, Jaden Daniels, dart running backs or gentee Williams, Jutkins, Warren Williams. wide receivers are awesome uh you got puka rice waddle and uh tight end is strange in a conquo good uh your tight ends stink and they stink hard your running backs are a little risky but you've got really good depth um yeah i think this is like a again i guess i'm giving a lot of b pluses i don't think it's an a because you're tied in suck but uh i like everything else yeah you can be streaming it tied in it's not that deep it's okay yeah okay um tell you want to do a couple minutes of overtime yeah let's do it we'll do a couple minutes of overtime because we love you guys and it's draft season it's important uh lots of questions queued we ain't gonna get to them please don't drop any more super chats too because then i'm gonna just like go the rest of my day feeling bad if we didn't get them but i do want to get a few more questions in here because we love you uh cranky keep davanta in the fourth or hn in the fifth this is a 12 team ppr happy ppr it's still davante for me yes it is davante fantasy pros 12 team ppr is a bet on alec pierce or quentin johnson growing into a reliable wide receiver two fair i got neighbors at wide receiver one absolutely not i love both of those guys i am really growing on quentin johnston pierce is a little bit banged up not as a fantasy wide receiver two though you you must you better have like bowers and then amazing running backs and all the other stuff because those are not wide receiver twos if i was picking one pierce has the best upside of them but i think quentin johnson is wildly sneaky i'm pro quentin johnson i would start theoretically at some point quentin johnson is a wide receiver two probably fairly early in the season but if that's the case for you you're probably running risky with depth in general so i would not go that direction i love him as a pick but like a flex goal you sneaky you did this uh cmc's handcuff cam black could end up being the guy but jordan james has been the guy knows the system better he's back from the fractured rib and he's the number two right now if cmc goes down he's going to be the guy that's going to be the guy that's going to be down i think what you should be worried about is it's a combo of those two players and it's not one but it is to me it's jordan james yeah that's where i'm sitting at all right let's do a couple more bentley best strategy to win a 10 team half ppr league one quarterback two running back two wide receiver tight end couple flex don't care about the rest of that stuff um i would in a half ppr with two running back and two wide receiver i would make sure i go probably go a little bit earlier running back that would be my hyper focus and then i would most likely want my flexes in a perfect world my flexes are going to be my hyper focus and then i would most likely want my flexes are one running back and one wide receiver tootin is a really good flex i like uh if i could get that with early running back and then honestly like a parker washington as well but a little bit more priority uh running back for me yeah i would prioritize running back you pick and choose between what you're doing in terms of the because you have an extra flex spot there so pick and choose in terms of if you're pushing qb back or tight end back yeah probably qb uh so i decided to take stevenson over brooks and blake quorum over lloyd am i crazy you don't like upside you like floor you like floor you don't like fun um it's not crazy but it's not what i would be i i don't care about the quorum over lloyd one as much i care about the brooks uh the stevenson over brooks one that means more to me you might be a little crazy but sometimes crazy is okay it's all right yeah exactly i mean i don't know how young you are but crazy is for college so if you're young then you know just get a little crazy it's all good man that's where you got to get out of your system all right let's do two more team drop josh jacobs and our 10 team standard league with a 500 fab budget how much would you suggest to bid based on the current news of jacobs 25 is that too much what i mean that's what would you do that's a lot um i would put in a claim a very modest claim maybe three percent and you're probably not going to get it but it is what it is i'm sorry like especially consider you'll have to hold on to him for a while so just imagine you're gonna have to hold that spot so it depends on how deep how deep is your bench uh 15 is even a little risky but if it's a competitive here's the problem it's a competitive league like people are going to put in big bids so i'm just not 100 sure that i don't want to go over 20 i think that's you're already kind of burning it i think you could be done for the season uh i get the risk tolerance 15 you know if someone wants to pay over 20 okay great there's one more person that's out but i think that's kind of scary uh all right final one here unless there's anything sneaking nope uh rice or mcconkey and full ppr rice has been trending down lad is kind of neutral in some spots uh what say you i still have rice higher especially in full ppr i do too i'm not as much of a lad guy um yeah just because i think he needs a high high target percentage this year and that maybe you know keenan allen's gone but i think trey harris is going to step up but i would i would lean rishi rice because at worst what is he going to do he's just going to get a bunch of catches maybe the touch on equity goes down so very very good very good question uh guys we got to a whole bunch of them and uh i don't know what else to do for you guys we got to a billion questions great job on all of you in the super chats and i would tell you if you guys have got drafts this weekend we still got you covered go and sync your leagues go do some mock drafts on with the draft wizard you can test out some of
