Fantasy Football AMA right here on the Fantasy Points podcast network and fantasy points YouTube Theo Gremacher and Scott Barrett School of Scott Fantasy Football podcast Scott we're back at it we're answering some of fantasy football's biggest questions heading into the 2026 season a couple of these questions are gonna Decide fantasy leagues and a big shout out to everybody who drop questions. It's not too late You can drop questions right here live on YouTube if you're alive live watching our stream But a number of questions were put out on social media Scott and I put something out on x and then a number of these questions are also coming from our discord and Scott why don't you let me know how they can get access to the fantasy points discord Yeah, you become a fantasy point subscriber Just about every tier that we have gives you different access to our discord And then you go on after you're done uh Subscribing go to fantasy points.com click on media click on discord chat And there's a bunch of instructions on on how to join the discord That's the best way to talk to us you can DM me whenever ask start sit questions Always around to help But certainly a big time fantasy analyst like yourself Scott you you can't have the time to pay attention to a discord Do you actually look at the discord and are you active in it Scott? I am believe it or not. Yeah, I you know if you DM me or It might take a couple of days before I get back to you especially in the heart of the season But uh, yeah, I always respond to every DM I get in discord Yeah, discord is awesome make sure you take advantage of what we're offering at fantasy points Let's go check it out go to fantasy points.com Scott I recorded a video yesterday for fantasy football daily you can watch it Do drop to basically all of the winners and losers from the a j brown trade Scott bear it might disagree with a couple of them But we got it want to get scots take uh very quickly scot in sort of the clip notes version Winners losers your general takeaway from the a j brown trade We also have some pretty cool player comp where i think a lot of people wanted uh Josh McDaniels The Patriots offensive coordinator to sort of say the words randy moss or or say like another big time wide receiver in the NFL But in fact uh My Josh McDaniels said that a j brown is a force in the way he plays the game Maybe the closest thing he's seen to him is grunk. This is a big guy And under Josh McDaniels rob grunkowski had i believe four seasons with double digit touchdown receptions I think this is a really positive for him to give this sort of coordinator speak Yeah, so general thoughts on this trade um I think the biggest winner Specifically from a bestball perspective is Dallas got hurt you know everyone likes to make a big deal about Devon to smith on off splits with a j brown over the last three years the five games I think he's played were brown mist and how high is target for route run yards for route run is but like That was even more true of Dallas got hurt uh we could also look all the way back to 2019 you know uh Devon to smith Played a season without a j brown and i think he only had like two catches and like 15 yards Um and one touched that more than than Dallas got hurt in that season so Really like him from a bestball perspective and then from a redraft perspective This is gonna sound wishy washy and just know that when i'm sounding wishy washy or bipolar or skits of frenic or On the fence or whatever when it with regard to a player it kind of just means like they're not a target for and like that's Sort of the name of the game is You know we make calculated bets on players and if i don't feel super strongly it's not really a target for me Like that's very intentionally how i draft how i do my draft guide you're kind of a little crazy Theo you're doing like 15. I'm in a mid event right now Scott Yeah, you do a thousand different teams and you spread your exposure That's not me but yeah, AJ brown i'm a little wishy washy here, but it's you know obviously an offensive upgrade right because filled alphia was a much more run heavy offense Less or quarterback play i mean drake blay it may played an insanely high level Stefan digs is top five in yards per route run last year targets per route run Just wasn't didn't have the full-time route share not not the best blocker in the world um my one concern with or actually multiple concerns here is is one The Rams wanted to trade for AJ brown and then They got scared off by the medicals and this follows up with um, you know is worse eater ever by ass Matt harman said the same thing like he did see the regression on film above and beyond You know maybe his frustrations and you know you checked out at games and i know there there was a clear drop-off in performance injury experts i've talked to It's have had been anticipating this decline this fall off for for quite some time given how bad his knee was Let's not forget in that super bowl campaign He had to get his knee drain multiple times per week all i think it was all of November, December, January So uh from a dynisee perspective not very high in a j brown. I think he's older than his age Just in terms of you know NFL wear and tear the knee issue Redrafts. I don't know. I feel like you make this move like you're gonna want to just Pepper or the f out of him and you know make him this alpha that you spend a first round pick for But um one note I have is Drake may I called him the mouset dong of quarterbacks. He loves to share the wealth. He loves to spread the ball around uh In in high school of games he would he would always check the stats of his wide receivers and make sure he said Whoever wasn't getting involved Um, this is a paid manning thing too like if he had a wide receiver go off and one we he always made sure to get the other guy the following week Uh, but Drake may has talked about this in interviews Uh, and we've certainly seen that from him in the NFL is yeah very much has spread the ball around approach Of very i don't think we ever saw a wide receiver and back-to-back weeks have a big game so um Just something to keep in mind. I think expectations can be higher than maybe the they deserve to be And then davant is smith You know, I obviously there's excitement here. I think this is a phenomenal talent the dude won the highs man He's looked incredible. There's been stretches where he's out produced a j brown The flip side of this is uh, you know, I don't know that he could be a true number one You know skinny batman is really really skinny. It's like one of the lowest BMI's ever You do you do see him struggle against physical cornerbacks get pushed off of routes You see him struggle against press coverage His splits with without true press coverage last year We're among the most dramatic of any wide receiver and football Um, he's also far less productive against man relative to zone coverage of the last three years Whereas a j brown is the most efficient wide receiver and football against man Although he's still separating at high level against man and uh, yeah, the splits everyone's talking about it's still just like a five game 70 route sample um And you know What if he's not the alpha right you have a play call or coming from green bay where we've never seen an alpha Really just a two-year sample though, so you can't read too much into that um, but like if he's not the alpha This is one of the worst picks you can make why because this is a Very run heavy slow-paced offense with a hot seat quarterback who doesn't throw over the middle Uh, and a receiver who I think he's gonna be volatile week to week given the BMI issues which are real the inability to to beat press consistently um, and so yeah, this this isn't a target for me. A j brown is not a target for me. I don't hate them, but um You know, I don't know. I think there's important nuance here. Yeah, so Scott hates everybody in this trade It doesn't really like anybody do you at least like Drake may more uh, and if you want my thoughts We're button heads on a lot of these things, but I want to encourage everyone to watch my fantasy football takeaways from the aj brown Devonta smith trade or excuse me the aj brown patriots trade I also talked about Devonta macaillum and uh drake may and and others You can watch it. It's the most recent video we dropped on on our youtube And if you're listening on school, Scott just go to fantasy football daily podcast feed But we're button heads on a lot of these things. Scott do you at least like this for drake may um, who's become a pretty good value right now Yeah, no, absolutely. He's like what cubie eight on underdog when he finished last year exodia quarterback One vote away from evp He finished second and fantasy points per game behind a lay josh allen and now this you know definitely does look like a massive upgrade So um, yeah his his adp is pretty weird. Yeah, maybe maybe we'll just run it back and he'll be exodia again Yeah, he's getting there because you can get him in like the seventh round um, he's settled in as like cubie seven and When original adp came out he was like the cubie two cubie three It's completely shifted so drake may has become sort of a value here now you have actual drake may correlation Easiest pushback I'd have for you, Scott is 31 and a half year old staphon digs average 12 and a half points per game last year So like I think a j brown is going to be a lot better than that. And we were talking about, is it going to be 15 points per game? Could it be higher? And the way Josh McDaniel is talking, I think they're not only going to get him targets, but I think they're going to get him end zone targets. And I think there's an opportunity catches a bunch of touchdowns in this offense. We'll continue to cover it all off season long right here at fantasy points. Let's talk about another takeaway. Yesterday, it's so funny how this goes. And like, there's some very large accounts on X that just rolled with this one. But there was this big like report that Matt LaFlor had called Michael Wilson, the Pukinacua, and he called Marvin Harrison, the Devonte Adams. But I watched the actual press conference here, shout out to whichever Arizona Cardinals beat reporter. I think it was Bo Braak. Put this out as like the actual video of LaFlor talking about it. And he was a lot more bullish about Marvin Harrison, Jr's role, talked about how Marvin Harrison, Jr. This guy Theo Mackie. So this guy Theo Mackie, like some other Theo out there, I'd reported this and people just ran with this one. But the actual, the actual like quote was way more positive for Marvin Harrison, Jr. He was saying how he's going to play the X, but the way that we're going to utilize the X is we're going to be able to shift guys around, get them in motion and line the X up in all over this offense. It was actually like a very bullish Marvin Harrison, Jr. quote, but then we get this like everybody running with this guy Theo Mackie's take on it. Where are you at? You care at all about this one. What do you think about sort of guys running with these quotations and just everything gets echo chambered? Yeah, I mean, this is this is just what happens, which is why you know, you need to pay special attention. You need to read the content. You need to watch this show. But yeah, when the first tweet that everyone was running wild with dropped, I was like, oh boy, you know what this reads like to me? It reads like to me that they watched the tape and they were like, hey, this Michael Wilson guy is really good. Like, let's get him involved and let's use him in this skill set that works best for him, which is, you know, less. If you look at his ass, his route tree chart by ass, like he was not the best at the go route, he was really strong everywhere else, especially horizontal routes and immediate routes. And you have Marvin Harrison Jr. much better suited for, yeah, the sacrificial X is what Matt Harmon talks about. So it's like, yeah, this new regime came in. Be watch the tape like, hey, this Michael Wilson guy is really good. Let's get him the ball. And that was their takeaway rather than the last couple of years where it's like, hey, you know, this was a round one pick. We need to make this work. So the GM looks good and isn't, you know, breathing down the back of our next. And basically it's just we have a meritocracy now. And this is really good for Michael Wilson, not as good for Marvin Harrison Jr. That was my take away. That's, you know, what all my group chats were talking about. But the real full quote, yeah, it seems like it was much to do about nothing. It's like, hey, he's our X. But you know, with X's nowadays, you know, we can put him in favorable matchups. We get him in the slot against linebackers. We do this and that. And so yeah, I like you said, I think it was an overreaction. I don't think there is anything overly negative about one player overly positive about the other. So a big shout out to the live audience right now. We are going to be giving away a couple of Scott fishbowl entries. Make sure you put SFB in the YouTube chat. If you want to be considered for a free entry into this, well, they're all free entries, but an entry into the Scott fishbowl. Make sure you are signed up at fantasy points.com and put in SFB right here in the YouTube chat. We're going to be giving some away right at the end of the stream. So make sure you write in SFB. If you want to be considered. Let's talk about something that I think is important for dynasty managers, not as much for redraft. Pukinakua is completely locked in this year. He's currently our wide receiver one in projected fantasy points per game. You can get access to our full projections, our award winning projections over at fantasy points.com. Right now, Chris Wecht has continued to update them throughout the summer. Pukinakua is our wide receiver one. But what was interesting from the fallout from the miles Garrett trade was Jeremy Fowler reported that a number of 2027 free agents that are not going to get extended by L.A. anytime soon. And there's no urgency whatsoever for the Rams to extend Byron Young, Kobe Turner, Steve Avia and most notably Pukinakua. And I talked about this a little bit on another show yesterday. I was on a serious dynasty show with Alan Soslowski. And I talked about it. So it's sort of like this was very interesting to me because when you look at the contract insulation for guys like Jackson Smith and Jigba, Jamar Chase, now Drake London. And then you look at Pukinakua. There's a little bit of a disconnect here, Scott. I mean, Pukinakua is going to get the bag from someone and it's probably going to be the Rams based on the fact that they don't have a first round pick, but they are in 2027. They are showing no sense of urgency whatsoever to get a contract like this done. I think there's a little bit of a disconnect between where Pukinakua is valued on the dynasty side and like some of these other wide receivers with the insulation. And of course, I have Pukinakua like wide receiver three behind Jamar Chase and Jackson Smith and Jigba in dynasty. It's not like you can really knock them, but it's very weird. Do you think this is indicative of some of the off-field issues Pukin had this off season or is just sort of the way the Rams are going about their business? No. And, uh, you know, I'm still going to be valuing Pukinakua as a unicorn asset and dynasty. But this is a little bit of a red flag. I'm wondering if Sean McVeigh went to the GM and ownership and said, Hey, just so you know, I'm out when staffers out when staffers done, I'm done because I don't want to go through 2022 again. So they're just all in on this dynasty. Let's get Miles Garrett. Let's see if we can get Aaron Donald out of retirement. Pukinakua, you know, we love to have you throughout the remainder of your rookie contract. Then we're going to franchise tag you and then maybe a little franchise tag you again, but, um, you know, we have a narrow window here. So that's what it is for us. Yeah, it's an interesting one. And you look at the makeup of the roster. They're so tight and heavy. There's not a they didn't draft a macaillem in this year. They drafted a tie Simpson. If they would have drafted macaillem and I would have I would have thought maybe there's a little bit of smoke with this one, but I don't know. Scott, I think eventually they're going to have to capitulate and extend Pukinakua and probably give them a massive amount of money, especially we consider there's rumblings now that maybe any day now, sometime in the next month, we're going to see a big Chris Alave contract drop as well. We saw Houston extend Nico Collins NFL teams are doing what they can to extend their top notch wide receivers and sort of maybe get ahead of the market a little bit. LA could be left in a bad situation if they wait too long and Pukinakua has another wide receiver one type production season. I just always want to keep in the back of my mind that Pukinakua is this is not like a Rashi rice in Kansas City thing where I think if Rashi ended up on another team, we could see like a dip in usage and production. I think Pukin's like way, way, way better than that. I don't want anybody to get it twisted, but he does benefit from Sean McVase offense and Matt Stafford as a quarterback. It's just a fact. We've seen McVase be a kingmaker with multiple wide receivers. Now has had different wide receivers finish as wide receiver one overall with Cooper cup and now Pukinakua. So we just want to keep that one in the back of our mind. Let's take a question from the YouTube audience, which is very lit. Really appreciate everybody getting in here and watching these streams and just being so active. We've such a sharp group of commenters. You really got to stand your toes when you're on the mic here because our people know ball. Let's look at this one. This is from Crimson. Hinn Crimson's Crimson. Shin or Crimson's in something like that. This is over on YouTube will O'Marion Hampton be the main bell cow or will Keaton Mitchell eat into his touches more than Hampton owners would like. I'm going to say that I'm taking this a little differently than you Scott. But I think O'Marion Hampton if you want to go historical like historical Mike McDaniel player. I look at like sort of the regime most dirt bull season where you had 20 touchdowns. That's sort of the dream for O'Marion Hampton this year. I think that Keaton Mitchell though is going to be a thing not necessarily to the detriment of O'Marion Hampton. But I think we're going to see him in a manufactured touch role where he has weekly usage. But I think that if O'Marion Hampton were to go down with an injury, Kamani Vidal would step in and see a pretty decent volume role. But I think Mitchell sort of his own thing, not necessarily at the detriment of O'Marion Hampton. So much because he's not really a threat around the goal line. Keaton Mitchell though is a home run hitting threat. I do think they want to get in the ball out in space to make this offense a little more nuanced and a little more threatening to defenses. Your thoughts on the Keaton Mitchell threat to O'Marion Hampton. Yeah, I don't think it's just Mitchell who is a really good change of pace back. Maybe profiles like a poor man's Devon H and a little bit. But it's not just him. It's also Kamani Vidal who O'Marion Hampton split work. work with. And you know, he looked really good for stretches last year, even though he's not a player I was ever all that very high on. And yeah, I just think I don't know the answer here, but I don't know that the chargers even know the answer. I think we might get more news coming out in July, August that kind of has us be more confidently in a specific direction. But I will say this is one of the most important questions I think. You know, I'm a big believer in this offense, taking a big step forward. This is not just a play caller who likes to run heavy, but it's also maybe the best run game play caller in the NFL since since he joined Shanahan in San Francisco. What is it? 10, 10 years ago. His offense is lead the league by a landslide in EPA per run. So yeah, I think this is part of the issue too is like the weird thing about these McDaniel offenses, these these college Shanahan offenses is it kind of takes a special back to to fit in that outside zone scheme where is Omeer and Hampton the best fit for that? Like I we need to have a long conversation with Brett about this. But like look at Shanahan's track record drafting day two running backs, right? They all stink. And then the guy drafted round seven or picked up in free agency was the way better fit for that offense and and crushed, you know, Raheem Moster, another undrafted free agent. And so that's another concern. I will just say, yeah, again, this is like one of the most important questions to me. Round one caliber, running back caught a lot of passes in college. Great offense. Great play. Is he the best fit? Is he going to be a bell cow? I don't have the answer yet. I think this is just something we need to continue to monitor. Yeah. Like Omar and Hampton has so many, he's checking off so many boxes that make him very, very appealing as a draft pick. But the ADP cost is huge right now. I do think the touchdown equity is something we really can't, we can't ignore. Like the touchdowns could just be the main driver for him. If this offense is as good as we think it could be. And I know Ryan Heath and I both had it as our top breakout offense and offense that finished in the bottom half last year that as a chance to be top five scoring this year. You can check that pot out. Ryan Heath and I dropped that. Ryan Heath will be back in the mix next week. So I don't know, Scott. It's sort of like if I, if you're drafting a lot, you don't want to be without Omar and Hampton. If you're drafting one team like Scott will do this off time. Just joking. Scott's going to draft a lot of teams. But if you're drafting fewer teams, maybe there's a little bit more range of outcomes here. But Omar and Hampton would definitely be on the team all unknown upside where there's a chance Scott that like we look at Omar and Hampton. He's like the 15th overall pick this year. Next year, he could be like the fifth overall pick. It's not going to take like a whole massive, massive leap in production for him. Let's take a question here from actually one of the best high stakes players in NFFC NFFC. Shout out to my guy Steve G a K a fantasy sopranos. I know Steve is getting excited for the New York Nick steves coming out of Queens. Nick's were really excited about on Long Island right now. I can't wait for game one tonight. Steve saying that Theo, your sleeper tight end pod made me realize the edge. You're given all these FFPC listeners to fantasy points. Good thing I've drafted all those guys already. So I draft I listed a bunch of fantasy sleeper tight ends. Scott guys sort of getting drafted outside of the tight end one range that I think have a chance to really beat their ADP. When you're thinking about a sleeper tight end right now, does one jump to mine for you that can have a really, really big season? Well, I just gave Dallas Goddard looking at his ADP. Yeah. Titan 15. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah. You keep bringing up Isaiah likely. I think that's another good shout, especially if you're down on Malik neighbors and his health. I know you are. I think Mark Andrews is another good one. Just, you know, what has he done historically without Isaiah likely? If he's still got it, maybe he doesn't, but if he's still got it, there's some upside there and around a gas in another one. And I think all those guys are like back to back to back to back in ADP. So that's a nice little sweet spot to grab your your tight end too. So we have a question that was dropped to us on on X and it's from from Bob. Who's an under the radar year to break out candidate Scott? So we get all these like, you know, the names everybody's talking about. We talked about O'Marion Hampton, Ashen Gentee, of course, Travian Henderson, Cam Skataboo's the plethora of tight ends. And then certainly the big three at wide receiver with Teteromaic Millon, a mechegbuka, Luther Burton, who would be a guy that that maybe people are a little bit sleeping on it. And I'd say maybe you could expand a little bit on our guy, Jaden Higgins. And then if you had anybody else heading into year two, that you would like to discuss. Yeah. Jaden Higgins is a good shout. You know, especially if we're talking about like under the radar potential breakout candidates, hey, this guy went five picks ahead of Luther Burton. He was he was two picks away from being a first rounder. Texans are very, very high on him. This is Brett's like number one, I know ball, watch the tape, mustraft breakout candidate. This guy is better put out better film in the second half of last season. And certainly what is ADP suggests. So really like him as a potential breakout candidate this year. Yeah. Higgins is interesting. And the price is right. I think a lot of times we're looking at these true breakout candidates. We don't like necessarily having to pay this massive ADP price. I'll say one like Higgins is one that's a super super easy click. Maybe another one that's going in a similar range. Maybe has fewer outs and fewer chances to sort of get an immediate role and a weekly predictable volume role. Like I think Higgins could, but Matthew golden just simply for the fact that I'm head over heels for Christian Watson right now. I know you are too. But I think that the way green Bay is going to line up. There's a there's a number of outs here. Tucker craft coming off of a big injury. Christian Watson has an injury history that's scary. Even with him looking fully healthy right now. But I think there's going to be a consolidation of targets among the wide receivers in green Bay. And maybe a little bit less of this weekly frustration of guys like Aromio dubs, a Don Tavian wicks sort of mixing in. I think it's going to be Jaden Reed, Matthew golden and Christian Watson on the field in three wide receiver sets. And I think golden is a better chance of being on two wide receiver sets than Jaden Reed does. And golden is super cheap right now. Quick thoughts on Matthew golden. Scott I know it's not a player you were super high on as a prospect. But is in a decent situation right now. Yeah, this is a player I really did not like as a prospect. Did not think was round one caliber. And then had a historically awful rookie season. If you want this the silver lining, but a little bit of optimism here is a is asked was really good. That's kind of average separation score. Everyone listening for the first time. Scott's not a couple of people do that. Thank you. Thank you. His his separation numbers were really good. And then you know, losing Romeo dobs, losing Don Tavian wicks. Part of what's like the issue in green Bay is like this could have been great for their fantasy wide receivers. If they weren't all captained like a 65% 70% route share. So maybe now golden has to be a full-time player. Christian Watson has to be a full-time player. And there's a league winner here. There's multiple ADP beaters here. So I'm more out than in, but that would be the arguments. Yeah, interesting player. I have another fun question that we received yesterday. Quick reminder to everybody watching live. We are going to be giving away a few Scott fishbowl entries right here live on this show. If you want to be considered, make sure that you put in the words SFB in the comments right now. If you already did it, you don't have to do it again. But put in SFB and make sure you are registered over at fantasypoints.com. Just go over. It's pretty simple process and write SFB in the comments right here on YouTube. Really fun question, Scott. This is an awesome question. And this is, I don't recall who sent it, but it was on social media yesterday. The two of us were all over Ben Johnson in 2024, 2023. Ben Johnson, the two of us were all over him in a sense that he looked like the next genius to get a head coaching job. That wasn't too difficult. And then I think the two of us were on a two year track record with a lot of receipts. Considering Clint Kubiak to be this bonafide genius, we talked about him in New Orleans. And then we really pounded the table when he was in Seattle as a guy who would get a head coaching job in the near future. Low and behold, Seattle goes to the Super Bowl, wins it. Clint Kubiak is now the head coach of the Vegas Raider. So we've been at a pretty good track record of this, Scott. I'm going to ask you for, you can give me multiple names if you want to cop out, or you can go one name. And let's pound the table for somebody we think is the next genius offensive coordinator who NFL teams are going to gravitate to maybe next off season and try to give a head coaching job. Maybe in 2028, but a guy that you think is going to be fast tracked for a big head coaching job. Man, there's really so many of them. That's been like the common theme, Blau, Declan Doyle, Davis Webb, Manion. This is like the quotes you're hearing is like, what an Eagles player was like, if you took the three smartest people in the Eagles. And you stuck them in one room. It just be Sean Mannion by himself. He's the smartest man in the room. And then you heard the exact same thing with, you know, Declan Doyle's blowing my mind. He's an absolute genius. I think there's a lot of these guys. I think, you know, you can really just, I don't know what it is about, you know, the Shanahan McVeigh of how they're scouting these guys or what, but just just being in that room, I think, yeah, there's there's a bunch of different names we can go with here. For me, it's Declan Doyle. And some of the quotes yesterday are just incredible. Anthony Weaver called him a human computer, which I thought was amazing. And then you hear all the Zay flowers talk where Zay flowers says he's a genius. He's got stuff that I've never seen plays and routes and stuff to help you get open. He teaches you a certain way where you remember the plays. I've been loving it so far. Then I read an article and I got to send this one to you, Scott. And I don't recall the beat reporter who wrote it, but talking about how Declan Doyle is going to use different elements of Ben Johnson offenses and a few others. And what will be very interesting is the pace of play in Baltimore, I think, could be incredibly fast pace this year. And I don't think the market is necessarily ready for that one. Then you factor in Declan Doyle is 30 years old. I mean, 30 years old in this sort of job in the NFL. That's absolutely being fast track. Sort of like being able to give someone that sort of responsibility at that age, especially when you have a quarterback like Lamar Jackson. I think Declan Doyle can end up being really special this year. And if we see a big turnaround season from Baltimore, I think Declan Doyle non-zero chance that he is a head coach next year, one year stop in Baltimore. And then I mean, really, it's, this is, this is not like even a fun one, but Mike McDaniel too. Mike McDaniel like, it's so obvious, but Mike McDaniel, if things go right in L.A. and L.A. wins like we think they can and scores like we think they can, how is it not a one year stop for Mike McDaniel? But he's a little odd. He might want to like stick around here in L.A. for like two years and joy his life and like pick and choose his job after having to take a quote unquote difficult job in Miami. Let's, let's let's give my answer here. I am going to go with Davis Webb. I remember being, you know, as a Giants fan, his like second year in the NFL, the Giants were like begging him to retire and join the coaching staff. They're like, bro, you are, you suck at throwing the ball, but you are an absolute genius. And just the way, you know, every head coach has talked about him from every single team he's been with. The guy really, the really does seem like a genius. And it's like, it's, it's not hard to look really good when you're on your with Sean Payton, you're in that room and they just added Jalen Waddle, by the way, a massive upgrade. So don't be surprised if, you know, he's getting a, he's in the head coach conversations a year from now. Yeah, I think that's also a really good name. We're going to pay attention to this all all season long and we'll talk about it on school of Scott. It's always really fun Scott because when we identify these guys, it can be a big source of ADP wins because if a guy is going to get fast track to success, he's going to carry a bunch of players with him. So very, very interesting stuff. Another question from yesterday. Oh, here's one that I had for Scott Barrett. This is coming from Theo on Long Island. Scott, McCye lemon or Parker Washington in dynasty right now. Yeah. So I, I legitimately like, this is my insanity take or whatever it is, but I would go Parker Washington personally for my own team. Luckily, you don't need to do that. You can always get Parker Washington plus, but keep in mind, I am very high on Parker Washington. I am very low on on McCye lemon. So just make sure you're getting good value if you're going to tell me on that. Okay. What TV shows are you watching right now, Scott, that you can recommend? I'm not watching anything right now, but I every year, I only allow myself one non football related tweet. And this past year, I tweeted about my love of Korean dramas. Korean television is so much better than American television. I'm a big serial killer show guy. So tunnel signal beyond evil mouse. Those are the serial killer shows. And if you want to watch one with your, your wife crash landing on you when life gives you tangierines, queen of tears, excellent, excellent TV. What about you? That's incredibly high brow answer from Scott. I, I'll say widow's Bay on Apple TV. My wife and I really, really enjoying it. And I'll go. I just heard about someone told me it was, it was great. And I should watch it. It's amazing. Widows Bay is great. It's scary, but it's kind of funny. It's, it's very like, it's very, very well done, very good show. And then I'm doing like a very slow when I have time, shout out to all the people who watch sons of Ann Arke over the years and doing a little old school rewatch. But that's going to take me like months and months and months. It's like little bits and pieces when I can watch it. But it's been a lot of NBA playoffs in my household. My son is very into it. We've been trying to watch as much NBA playoffs as possible together. And he stays up late for the next game and a next games and I let him stay up late for the Thunder osper series, which he got really into. Usually falls asleep in the third quarter. But all of him and his buddies are going to stay up for the next game. It's going to be incredible stuff. Let's keep it going on the football side. And I'll just say we're going to give away the first SFB entry in about five minutes. So if you haven't put SFB in the comments, make sure you go register over at fantasypoints.com.

If you're enjoying all the content we're putting out here on the YouTube channel, big shout out to tray camberling behind the scenes. But we're putting out a ton of videos here that are going to help you win in fantasy football. I have Graham Barfield on tomorrow. Graham and I broke down every single backfield. We're going to break down every single number one and number two target. Look forward to arguing about some of those with Scott. But I think you'll agree with most of most of them Scott. You get down to some teams that you can find some real fantasy value there. So make sure you tune into that one tomorrow. There's a question in the comments here from Marky Mark Mary Vale 6802. So I'm guessing it's a shared account between a guy named Mark and a guy named Mary. That's just my guess. Ted aroma McMillan or Roma Dune say this season. Oh, for sure. Ted McMillan. Just a much stronger believer in his talent. The only issue we've brought it up multiple times. Like I think this is an easy already top 15 wide receiver in the NFL. Maybe top 12. The problem is he has Bryce Young who I don't know. He cleared 205 passing yards only three times last year. It's just awful. But I mean, hey, if he gets hurt and there's a, you know, maybe, maybe he could be a lead winner. That's what I was saying last year is I kept begging for any Dalton to take over. But you know, even if it is, you know, or Bryce Young just takes a small step forward. Or if it's the same thing as last year, I think it's a little more bullish and tense potential there. Yeah, it's Ted. Roman McMillan for me because if we look at, you know, an upside case, um, McMillan going crazy this year and taking a big step forward and alpha roll would be easier bet to make. Then Roma Dune say there is a gap between their ADP price tag and even at value. I think I'd rather take shots on Ted. Roman McMillan than a Dune say right now. So head to head. Pretty an easy one, even at cost. I think I'm going with McMillan. Um, a couple other questions. Let's get to. Um, I had, I had one for you, Scott. Um, when you look at the rookie running backs, last year, cams, Skataboo was such a edge pickup for a lot of drafters, a late, a late pick that gave them a number of really fun, usable weeks. It was just went down in disappointing fashion. Day three guy in cams, Skataboo also had a couple of strong weeks out of Woody marks. You go to the year before you had Bucky Irving, who was obviously a massive pickup for fantasy managers or a late draft pick, uh, gave them a number of really strong weeks and they were able to draft him as a in the double digit rounds as a day three pick. Uh, we also got a number of really usable weeks out of Tyrone Tracy, his rookie year, the same year as Bucky Irving. When you look at this draft class, who is a day three back that you think could be this year's version of a Skataboo, this year's version of a Bucky Irving, if everything falls into place and they get a big opportunity. There's no one. I, I feel like you asked me this every week and it drives me crazy. There's no, like this was an awful running back class. You can't bring up the cams, Skataboo comp. Last year was an all time great running back class, very deep and Skataboo went at least one round later than he should have, uh, probably two rounds later than he should have, according to my modeling work. Uh, and it's just very rare for a day three running back to do anything. People are talking about round this round five running back, you know, currently RB three on the depth chart. We got a draft in. It's, yeah, when was the last round five running back who hit? Was it a mod Bradshaw like 15 years ago? It's just the hit rates are very low. Yeah, Kyron Williams. bucky earnings. These guys are, you know, this doesn't, this really doesn't happen every year. If you, if you want me to take my chips and place it on a day three, we're running back to surprise, I'd go, Emmett Johnson, a running bag you loved, did have the Bell Count pedigree in college, and Kenneth Walker, maybe the most injury prone running back in football, or the biggest injury red flags in football, but there's no price discount on him this year. So I like that as a calculated bet on his, his health concerns and Emma Johnson, just a player you and I kind of liked more than his draft capital implied. Yeah, I mean, and Scott, you're so like, it's so funny. I'm asking this one because it does happen. It doesn't always happen for the entire season, but you do get guys with contingent upside and you nailed it because the Kansas City offense, if Kenneth Walker were to miss some time, Emma Johnson, I think, would be a really valuable player roster. I'll also say if you're looking for a player that was drafted a little bit higher that has a pathway to success. Jonah Coleman, he cost the most in rookie drafts for a reason. He was drafted by Denver one year after RJ Harvey, JK Dobbins continually struggles to stay on an NFL football field. And RJ Harvey doesn't seem like somebody that the franchise is really embracing. And Jonah Coleman, I know you liked a ton. So I'm a little surprised you didn't mention Jonah Coleman, but the cost is a lot higher. And then we had a Nicholas Singleton debate. We're not going to relitigate that one. I'm ready to give away the first SFB entry. Scott, can I, can I give this one right now? I'm going to give one away right now. What's going on? Let's go through. I'm going to give this one to Jose Pena in the chat. So Jose Pena wrote in SFB shout out to Jose Pena, who we see often in these shows, but Jose Pena, we'll get in touch with you Jose. And we're going to get you this Scott fish bowl entry. Jose is really big supporter for our work. So yeah, I'm really glad Jose Pena is the first winner here. We're going to drop one or two more throughout the rest of this this stream. And make sure you were subscribed to the School of Scott podcast feed. Scott and I are dropping some bonus shows on the School of Scott feed that are not going to be on YouTube, but are absolutely going to help you win in fantasy football this year. And if you're not subscribed to the fantasy points YouTube channel, make sure you hit that subscribe button. Doesn't cost you anything helps us out a ton. I'm going to be on with Graham Barfield tomorrow on fantasy football daily. Make sure you're all subscribed to Dynasty life. I'm going to be dropping a ton of dynasty content. You're going to find that over at fantasy points Dynasty YouTube. Let's go a couple more questions here. Who scores more points this year? Scott, this is the one two turn running back dilemma. Ashton Gentie, Devon H. Ann O'Marion Hampton. Yeah, so this is my issue with O'Marion Hampton. I like the other two guys a lot more, I think. But Ashton Genetie is clearly my favorite there. It's weird. You know, every year, I'm just like all in on Ashton Genetie. And it's worked out quite well for us. Ryan Heath is betraying our guy. Ryan Heath is kind of down on H. Ann. But luckily, I've Chris Wackton, my corner, the projections absolutely love Devon H. Ann. And so do I. You just see massive PPR cheat code upside, especially given how bad this defense is, how bad the receivers are outside of H. Ann. And then of course, you have an insane talent. Even if you remove Mike McDaniel from the equation, this is a rare talent with, you know, maybe the best explosive play runner in football. So I feel really strongly about that one. That's for sure one of my guys early round two. Which one early round two? What's that? You said, did you said Ashton Genetie early round two? Well, aren't they all going early round two? Yeah, I think that I think the Genetie's the one that's going to steam up a little bit. We're starting to see him go a little higher. H. Ann and Hampton. We're seeing like beginning around two. But I think what's all said and done. I know John Hanson is hyping up Ashton Genetie. And I think there's going to be more and more people sort of pushing him up. I think that it's like I get it. They're close enough. Genetie, I think, is the best bet right now. The lack of teammate competition, the fact that we love the Clint Kubiak offense, the fact that he averaged 14 and a half points per game last year in really dire circumstances. And Scott, I think what's interesting with Genetie, and I'm not seeing a whole lot of people making this case. But could he catch 75 passes this year? He had 55 last year. We've saw how good Alvin Camaro was with with Clint Kubiak in 2024 who averaged like 19 points per game. And that New Orleans Saints offense, like got off to a fast start, but they really, really teetered out. So for me, I think Genetie's receiving upside is really, really good. Where with Devon H. Ann, I know we both love him, but there's a chance that his reception totals go down and Geneties go up in a major way. Just your thoughts on Genetie, the receiver. Yeah, I don't know that I see that. H. Ann had, you know, 85 plus targets and back-to-back seasons. Yeah, so Genetie loved the prospect. You know, he had the 2000 yard rushing season is last year, but the year before that, he let all FBS running backs in receptions and receiving yards. And so we know he has that dual threat upside. What I will say is we talked about overreacting or, you know, coaching quotes taken out of context. And that's a bit of my worry with Kubiak is, yeah, it was like, oh, these superstar running backs, like Prisha McAfry, you can't really take them off the field and they don't want to get taken off the field. I feel like a lot of people just ran with that and he wasn't saying, hey, this is my Krishan McAfry. He's going to get Krishan McAfry usage. He's going to play every snap because he had a number of quotes all throughout the offseason talking about the importance of having a number two guy, you know, it's a grueling 17 game schedule. You need to have multiple backs. You need to have them both involved. They drafted Mike Washington, your guy. I don't know. I do not. I'm such a Kubiak believer. I'm such a Gen T believer. I could definitely see myself pushing him above H and taking him in round one. I'll just say I'm not there yet. I'm not there yet. I think I need to let's see how the offseason hype train goes. Let's let's see some of these more positive quotes regarding usage. That's kind of my lean right now. Yeah, it's an interesting group of running backs. I will say that the one that I see going at like the 205 a lot these days is Devon H and I'm doing a ton of underdog drafts maxed out the puppy did a couple things like that. And anytime H and available like the 205 206. It's just an easy, easy, easy click. Hampton actually fell to me in the hardway draft in the FFPC and I took him at like the 210, which I thought was incredible, but that was that was a rare occurrence. So we're going to continue to follow all these running backs. Running back is very important that we we hit right on Scott because there's a bunch of running backs going near the one to turn. Kenneth Walker also chase Brown is steaming up there. Sake one Barclay is a player that is going to go somewhere in the mid second. Running back is a position that's very important for us to get correctly this year because I think a lot of managers are going to gravitate towards that running back running back start, especially with Bucky Irving being banged up with Josh Jacobs having off the field issues. So we're going to continue talking running backs all off season long here. Let's continue taking some questions. Had one about this is from discord and this was from Kevin and discord who said Scott, the fantasy bundle is worth its weight and gold was wondering if there's any cool mood tools or features coming this season for subs of fantasy points. Bra. Bra. We you're cooking up the dope is shit ever. We have a site redesign scheduled for mid July. So we're going to give a nice little facelift to the site. I think you guys are really going to like that look. Then late July, early August, we're going to deliver what everyone wants all of our subscribers. We get one criticism. Everyone's always like, Hey, I love you. You guys do everything great. Help me win my leagues, won a lot of money. But and that's hey, our league importer league generator tool. We were laid to get that up and back to back years. No major improvements. We're working on making that the dope is sickest thing ever. We hired two new full time developers this off season. And so we've had a number of really cool tools in like pre development, scoped out. And I think, you know, and we're just going to start crossing these off the list. So this is what I can guarantee you by week one is site redesign, league importer generator. But we have like 12 really sick tools that are going to help you win your league that no one else has. It's going to give you a massive edge or just make your fantasy process a lot easier and more fun. So we're cooking these up. I don't know when we can get them on the site. But if you could see behind the curtain, you would be wildly impressed. Also fantasy points data, working on major major improvements to that too. So nothing I can guarantee here on this end. But I've legitimately never been more excited about the site. Just the really cool shit we're building behind the scenes. Right. Yeah, make sure and stay tuned. There's some very, very cool stuff dropping. Scott, I have a question that I'm putting out there is is a little Mark Jackson going to bounce back in a major way this year. And is he worth the QB2 overall price tag? And I will add that if we're splitting hairs on this one, there is a massive gap between where Josh Allen goes in drafts and then having to use the QB2 pick on guys like Lamar Jackson, guys like Jaden Daniels, et cetera. But do you think Lamar Jackson, is this something where you're saying last year, sort of the regression we saw with the rushing production was based on Lamar Jackson being banged up? And he's going to bounce back easily this year, new vibes with Declan Doyle, et cetera, or are you a little bit uncomfortable this year spending QB2 price tag on him? Yes, so if you look at what happened last year, I think you really have to throw it out. So he had those, so 2024, he led the position and fantasy points per game. Through the first three weeks last year, he was leading the position and fantasy points per game. And then he suffered a hamstring injury notoriously like the worst injury, like lingers way longer than he expected keeps you below 100%. And he dealt with that for the remainder of the season. Lamar with a lower body injury is a bad quarterback. That's like a bottom five, bottom, I don't know, eight quarterback in the NFL. You look at his numbers from week four on when he picked up that injury. He looked like a shitty Aaron Rogers. Like by every single sad, catchable throw rate, completion percentage over, pressure to sack, EPA per dropback, it's just like slightly below Aaron Rogers. And like that's what it is because his hyper mobility is his super power and defense is play him differently to allow for better efficiency through the air. It's like, you know, cyclops that the X-Men without the, and our radioactive vision or whatever. It's not radioactive. It's not. Yeah. Without the laser vision, you know, and like what is that? He's just a guy. And so, but anyway, yeah, you just, you just throw that out. And what are you left with is just like glaringly the second best fantasy quarterback over the last five, six seasons. But what I will say is I do think there should, I think he's, yeah, for sure the QB2. But I also think there should be a clear gap between him and Josh Allen. It's not just the production and like the, the high end, the ceiling from Josh Allen, but it's like insane consistency. This is what JJ and I have always talked about with late round quarterback is like it's, it's very volatile year to year historically. That's not true for Josh Allen who has finished first or second in at the position in fantasy points per game and what is it? Six, six straight years now. And so, and when everything's clicking, he's clearly, you know, the guy. So, uh, yeah, I think that's how it should be. I think it should be Josh Allen, Teardrop, Lamar. But I will say I'm, I'm not drafting either guy because, you know, my hit rate with these late round quarterbacks is excellent. And this is the best deepest I can ever remember. You know, I'm struggling to pick my Exodia because there's so many potential exodia. So I'm, I'm excited about Jackson Dard. I'm excited about Justin Herbert, Malik Willis. And so, um, yeah, I'm not drafting either guy, but I do like that. What do I think that's right? Yeah, it's, it's an interesting one, um, for Exodia quarterback. We'll get to Malik Willis in a second. Um, I, I wanted to put one more thing out there since we're staying on QB. This is a question from Francis in the YouTube chat. We know Scott hates Caleb Williams. But how do you both compare him with Drake May in fantasy? Getting an offer of Drake May and Garrett Wilson in exchange for Caleb Williams, Lad McConkey and a 2027 first. So we'll get to it. The, the trade in one moment. I would like to say, let's just get to that trade. Like don't, uh, give me Caleb Lad in a 2027 first. That's, that's end of discussion. Uh, number two is, uh, hey, I'm not a Caleb Haydor. I, well, you drafted him last week for $350. That's right. Like, especially for fantasy. I think he's an awesome fantasy draft pick because he was the QB eight last year, despite ranking bottom three and catchable throw rate. Imagine if he's just league average. Imagine if he's good. Uh, and I am just such a boat true believer in Ben Johnson, a believer in the supporting cast around him. I love Colston, love. And I love this offensive line. I'm excited about Luther Burton in the potentially Amin Ross St. Brown role. Roma Dunez, I think is super underrated and he looks worse than he's been just awful injury luck. And so, um, and he runs, he Caleb Williams, great staff from Ian Hartitz, four of the top five fastest runs from a quarterback last year. We're all Caleb Williams. So, um, I'm not a Haydor. Give me the, the side that's getting lad in the 2027 first. Um, yeah, and this could be another potential exodia. You know, a player who I should all over the last two years. And sure he's overrated or he's been overrated relative to the height like he's on the cover of Matt in like despite, you know, having shudders, catchable throw rate. Um, but yeah, very bullish for fantasy. Yeah, I think Caleb Williams can finish his top three score at the quarterback position this year that I completely agree with you, Scott, that you take the, and I'm not as high on lad Maconkey as Scott is, but I'm getting, uh, basically getting lad and Garrett Wilson is close enough. And then I'm getting Caleb and a 2027 one for Drake May. So I'm definitely going with the Caleb Williams side on that one. Um, let's go with, we're talking about exodia quarterback Scott, quick question for, for you. Is there a cutoff for you on where the quarterback is in ADP or round availability when naming an exodia quarterback? Or is it just this guy is such an, a screaming value like Caleb Williams in eight in the eighth round. It would be a lot different than like when you hit on guys like Drake May last year at like QB 15 or he was like QB 14 ish. And then obviously your past hits where you're all over Jaden Daniels is working year. He's going as a low end QB one, uh, Lomar Jackson his year two where that's you kind of famously, we're all in on him in 2019. Is there like, is there like a rule on this or is it exodia sort of where you see the value? Yeah, technically no, but it's like if I'm, if I have an exodia quarterback in round six, they need to be like, I don't know, probably outscoring Josh Allen by like three fantasy points for games, something like that where it's this sliding scale. And so like the whole benefit is that we can pre hindsight identify players going in the double digit rounds who are going to finish between QB two and QB four. And, um, and so yeah, the later that goes the better value it is. And because there's the opportunity cost, you want to be drafting running backs and wide receivers in the, the earliest single digit rounds. So, um, yeah, like I, I, I don't never see myself drafting or running back before round six just because it's so easy to get for me in the double digit rounds. Yeah, a quarterback in double digit rounds who matches them in production. Hey, like I, I, we got Drake May last year and that worked out great for us, but hey, Matthew Stafford was right there and he was going like five rounds later than Drake May. And like two years before that, it's just like, yeah, Joe Flacco picked up off waivers in week 12 throughout the rest of the year. It was a top three fantasy quarterback and that just kind of happens every season. Malik Willis is the really interesting one for me. And I think that if, especially if you're drafting a lot of two quarterback builds, like if the season completely goes south for Miami, like it could be and maybe the, the, um, ability to run the football quite at the level that I think they want to do as a team, um, just completely explodes. Then there's a chance that this take will look bad, but with Malik Willis at QB 21 Scott, he's QB 21. The vibes are pretty good. And is there a chance that he could rush for like 900 yards as the QB 21? For me, that's just such an easy bet to make. We talked about him and our dynasty startup, but I could draft a quote unquote safer quarterback this year, um, and then get Malik Willis. And I will say another interesting quarterback for like Exodia Jackson, dark continues to fall. The vibes with the New York Giants offense are not great, especially with Malik neighbors being banged up. So Jackson, dark is QB 12, but you're getting QB 12 at like the 10th round. You're talking about an unbelievable rushing upside for dark who had 12 starts last year. And in 12 starts had nine rushing touchdowns, 487 rushing yards in 12 starts last year. Um, and they have significantly improved the offensive line. Francis Maui Noah, a monster that they're going to play a guard, obviously the first ground pick for them, 10th overall pick. And then we're going to see Malachi fields in the slot a lot as like a blocking slot wide receiver. I think it's going to be interesting to see Jackson, dark. So just throwing out those two guys with rushing upside any quick thought thoughts on dark at QB 12 and Malik Willis, QB 21. Yeah. So if you just take out the Minnesota Vikings game, which is a really weird game, dart only through the ball like 12 times and then he ran the ball like 28 times. If you just take out that one game, Jackson, dark ranked second in fantasy points for start last year, head of Drake, may not very far behind Josh Allen at all. And then by rushing fantasy points for start in that sample, he averaged over nine rushing fantasy points for start. Josh Allen has never in his entire career average nine rushing fantasy points for start. So really checks the boxes there. The cut Konami code upside people are like, oh Malik neighbors is hurt. It's like, okay, they played 10 snaps together last year. You know, that was like The offense was so much worse last time. year the supporting cast was so much worse last year than it could be this year. And, uh, dude, the dude is just fun. I love the tape. And that's kind of something you've heard from all the coaches is like the tape on Jackson Dart was so much better than it was for Kim Ward last year. So I like the talent. That's a great call. And then Malik Willis is just like, he reminds me so much of my 2022 Exodia, which is Justin Fields, who sucked as a passer, but he ran for over a 1100 yards eight touchdowns. And so he was awesome for fantasy and like, yeah, Malik Willis is is going to be like a low end QB1 at worst, even if he's awful. And then if he's like surprisingly actually decent somehow, he could be like an absolute winner. So if I'm writing my draft guide, I think what I would do is I would have an Exodia in the earlier rounds. It would be a dart or a Justin Herbert or one of those guys. And then I would also have Malik Willis as must draft. Because what did you say was QB 21? QB 21. And I think that there's a kind of a capped ADP ceiling here because of the nature of the Miami offense, even if the vibes for Malik Willis are like a maculate throughout the summer, like when we get into training camp, I still think he can't run up to a level that's going to be like prohibitive to draft. Like what is his ADP ceiling? QB 16, QB 17, like people don't love this Miami Dolphins offense. Devon H and there's so many people putting Devon H and as like a do not draft a void type guy in early takes because they're so scared of this offense. So I think that's going to kind of tie itself in with Malik. So yeah, you can kind of list them as QB 20 rest of the summer. Said it. Let me just have to change it. Let me just respond to two comments here. Too many bad vibes with New York Giants. Again, where are the YR right now is so much better than last year with their Malik neighbor list offense where it was just Wondale Robinson. As it's like a wide receiver one who is super productive. Dude, he stinks. I mean, I can't go. Scott can't go a show without firing a stray at Wondale Robinson. And then Matt Niggie turns me off of that offense. That's again, like I kind of wish he just like retired tomorrow because you have Greg Roman there as the senior offensive assistant for the New York Giants. Greg Roman's track record with hyper mobile quarterbacks is unparalleled and people shit all over him last year for the chargers. They did not both their pro bowl tackles were out. Like I think what he did. I think he did a really good job. And so, hey, who knows how much of an influence he actually has on the offense. The other concern, though, Dart will knock himself out half the season. Yeah, you do worry about the trips to the blue medical tent and the CTE and the concussion risk with Jackson Dart. Yeah, it's hard for us to project CTA stuff at this point in June. Let's take another quick one. Basel Tutin or Cam Skataboo right now. They're going very pretty close to one another. Skataboo is steaming up a bit. Tutin sort of staying where he is. We saw really strong reports about Basel Tutin coming out of OTAs. We saw Cam Skataboo, of course, at the softball game where Malik neighbors had like the little gate that everybody's concerned about. Skataboo hits like a home run and then does a flip into the endzone. Yeah, I'm going Skataboo here. I will say though, there was an interesting note is that Chris Rodriguez has been MIA up until like a day ago where they saw him on the bike. He's nursing injury and they're like, yeah, we'll be think he'll be good by week one. I mean, that's really not good if he's out that long. This was supposed to be a competition where Jacksonville is like, hey, how's this backfield going to look? And it's like, well, we'll see when these guys get here. We really like Chris and we really like Tutin. And so if he's not there to compete, you know, that gives Tutin a major leg up. And so yeah, I can see this changing. I also want to, I was digging into the fantasy points data suite yesterday. And I noticed something really interesting was that Tyrone Tracy was one of the most efficient runners over the last two years in a zone scheme. Whereas the opposite was true for Cam Skataboo crushing in a man gap scheme. And so I need to do more research here. I need to look into what kind of offense Matt Maggie typically runs. Is it more zone? Is it more man gap? But yeah, I still kind of feel comfortable with Cam Skataboo as like a really underrated pass catcher, really strong goal line back. And just kind of like the heart and soul and mascot of this this offense. Yeah, that's an interesting one. I think it's for me, it's Skataboo right now. But I'm open-minded that if the Rodriguez stuff lingers and Skataboo, maybe we have a little bit of lack of clarity with the injury. Don't forget, you know, I talked to injury experts. Every single one of them said, he's not going to be 100% at any point this season. Like Kobe on the field, and I'll be playing, but it's it's you should expect an efficiency decline. And also a heightened injury risk. It's just one of these injuries where it takes over a year to fully come back. So, so that's another thing that gives to an edge. Like if not for that, dude, I would be so all in on Cam Skataboo, but, but you know, injuries like this really make me nervous. And this was a very, very serious one. Yeah, I think what's interesting is if there's any sort of fade of Cam Skataboo, you really should be drafting entire own Tracy because he's very, very easy to click on in terms of his current ADP value. And I think if we have any sort of negativity with Skataboo in July or August in terms of his mobility in terms of, hey, we're going to cap his usage that sort of stuff. If there's any pessimism that I think Tracy's ADP is going to go up a little bit, I know you're not a massive Tyrone Tracy guy Scott, but you do see the value of Tyrone Tracy in sort of his contingent upside this year. So I was way out on him, but you know, the more I thought about it where, you know, I'm bringing up these injury concerns with Cam Skataboo, they're talking about, you know, really wanting to be very run heavy. Yeah, I'm kind of coming around to it. To me, it was really just the talent to scrap and see. I like Tracy a lot coming out, but I just had Skataboo so much higher. And then even last year like Tracy didn't impress me at all after Skataboo went down, but I don't know, the more I give it thought, the more I think you're right. I think it's like one of the better handcut picks he can make. Another question really good. You know what? Let's actually take a quick time out from the questions. We're going to give away another Scott fish bowl entry right now. Tray Camberling behind the scenes is going to put someone up on the screen. And there's our winner Peter Scherzer 5719 comment if you're still watching Peter Peter Scherzer and now Jose Pena have won Scott fish bowl entries. Scott, I'm going to give away I think two more tomorrow with Grand Barfield. We're going to see about giving one more away stick with us here over these next couple of minutes. Let's try to go rapid fire on a number of other questions here. Scott and if you have another couple more questions, make sure you put them here in the YouTube comments. I'll get to one more from the discord as well. Here's a fun one. Pick two in full PPR. This is from B Fred. Pick two in full PPR between Zay flowers, T Higgins, Lad McConkey and Ameca Eguca. It was Zay flowers. Lad Eguca. Who is the second one? T Higgins Lad McConkey, Ameca Eguca and Zay flowers. That's tough. You go first. You go first. Okay, so I'm going to I'll give I'll give one. So we'll do this. We're going to get one here. And I I'm going to go Zay flowers who's in must draft for me. And I think Zay flowers going to finish as a wide receiver one. I think the vibes are going to be fantastic all off season long. Zay flowers for me is a must draft player. So I'm going to take Zay flowers as my first pick. And I need to pick one more. But Scott, you're going to give your first pick here. I want to say Eguca. I don't love it. I know. I know. I love it. I love it. It's correct. I'm I'm kind of all in on him as I think he just goes nuclear this year. Right. You know, he was going nuclear last year, especially without Mike Evans. And then he gets her and Baker may feel gets hurt. Over the second half last year, he had the worst catchable target rate. Baker had the worst catchable throw rate, usually much higher for it. Baker's usually top three. And you really see that come up show up in the next gen stats where his speed really fell off of a cliff. And so fully healthy, like Buka, fully healthy Baker, who's like such a fucking dog and just like, wills his way to victory. No, Mike Evans. So really good target volume. Also, the play callers talking about like him and the Cooper Cup roll. And so yeah, I really like Amika Buka this year, especially at cost because I think he's going well behind all of these guys. So we'll pull up the current ADP, but I'm with you. It's it's at Buka. Egg Buka for me is the one. I think when you look at the Tampa Bay wide receiver room, it's going to be pretty bad. I think Chris Godwin's going to have a role, especially early on. Jellemick Millen, Good vibes. Good vibes with Ted Hearst right now. The rookie Kate Otton. Still the tight end. We don't have to worry about a tight end taking a step forward in terms of the number of targets they receive. I mean, Egg Buka getting to 150 targets this year could happen. And Scott, you nailed it. Where would the marketplace be on on Egg Buka right now, if he averaged 20 points per game ish over the last five games of the year, instead of the first five games of the year. We've already seen it with Egg Buka, and he also played through an injury where we all thought he was going to miss time, there was that whole little fear, and he probably should have missed time, but I think the perception of him would have been a little bit better. So for me, it's Zayf Flowers and a Mecca Egg Buka, you gotta pick one more though. So you're on Egg Buka, Zayf Flowers, T-Higgins, or Lad Meccaki. - I don't usually gravitate towards safety, but I feel like I have to with T-Higgins. It just feels like good value. - Yeah, I think that's a fine answer. So Scott and I are both on Egg Buka, and then Scott's on T-Higgins, and then I am on Zayf Flowers. Ryan Kelly in the chat, Colston Loveland or Tramick Bride, and this is in Dynasty and in Redraft. For the all answer this, it's McBride for me in both formats, but it's exceedingly close, and I'm closer with Col, I'm gonna be ahead of ADP with Colston Loveland in all formats in Redraft, and I'm ahead of like, I don't know where else you possibly wanna get your Dynasty Rankings, but if you go look at our single QB Dynasty Rankings over at Fantasy Points, then not the tight end premium ones, the single QB ones, you're gonna see that we're well ahead of consensus on Colston Loveland. He's very close to Tramick Bride. So Scott, I think for me, they're both awesome, but it's still McBride, McBride. Are you ready to flip the script? - So Dynasty, it's easily loved-lined. For Redraft, I think it's loved-lin. And this is me drafting 10 teams or less. I'm just gonna go on the back of my belief, my opinion. If we're drafting a ton of teams, fine splitting it 50/50, or doing whatever deferring to ADP, but if it's just me, I think right now I'm going Loveland. If Jacobi Berset signs tomorrow, and it's like he's starting week one, it's a different story, but it really comes down to that for me with McBride. Otherwise, he's just like this massive regression candidate where Garbage Time King and Jacobi Berset has targeted titans of the highest rate in the league, dating back to college every year of his career, and then Loveland, my goodness. Adam Hartstead has this legendary article talking about why it's important to look at the full season sample and not just the last X games, or the second half of the season, those last four games. Double digit targets in every single one of them. He was the team's wide receiver one, and he looked incredible on film. It took a long time for him to get that full time usage, but once he got it, I don't think there's any going back, and the offense was so much better off for it, he looked incredible. You get a huge age delta between the two in Dynasty, I get it. I do think like, and I brought up all the regression for Tramock, Bride. I get the idea that Loveland will flip him this year, but it has been 100 receptions for back-to-back seasons for McBride. I think there's, it's getting to a point where McBride's kind of becoming an ADP value. I think my biggest takeaway here, Scott, is a lot of times when we attack the Titan 3 overall, it gets us in a lot of trouble, where we're better off sort of ignoring Titan 2, ignoring Titan 3, and just drafting the Titan 1 overall, sort of going very early or going very late with Titan. This year feels different. It feels like it could be the year of the Titan, where Loveland has this massive breakthrough. McBride still retains value, and then I know the two of us are really into Tyler Warren. I think if Tucker Kraft Kraft and Stay Healthy, and sort of is able to come back healthy for week one, he's fun, I think Kyle Pits is fun. But yeah, the guys at the top are great. Let's go super rapid fire here, Scott. You're quick, here, this is from Jay P. Tay in the YouTube. How hot is the Jonathan Brooks hype train Theo in Scott? Seeing those camp videos, man, I haven't been this excited since my wedding night. Scott, I don't know if you saw Dave Canallus yesterday. You can check out my, I put it out on X at the OG fantasy, is my Twitter handle, and Dave Canallus, my god. He just elevated Jonathan Brooks's ADP by a full round. He's calling him JB. So from now on, I'm calling him JB. He's JB from now on, Scott. But he talked about the passing game usage. He talked about his use in the screen game. He talked about how good he looks, how explosive he looks, went on this just like long rant about. They're going to use different packages to get Jonathan Brooks touches like different formations like Canallus is cooking. And he's the running back ADP whisperer. Where are you at? You go first. Tell me how excited you are about, about Jonathan Brooks here. Well, anybody who's been following Scott Barrett and I on the School of Scott, understand how we've talked about the Dave Canallus running back whisperer and ADP running back whisperer. Scott, we have a ton of hits on this. Rashad White in his running back seven overall season was Dave Canallus as the offense coordinator in Tampa Bay. Rashad White was one of the biggest ADP winners at the running back position that year. He was heading into year two. Then we saw Chuba Hubbard being drafted in the double digit rounds, finishing as I believe the running back 14 or running back 15 in 2024. And then last year Rico Dattle went undrafted in a lot of leagues. I know Scott. You're going to bring up how you liked Rico Dattle last off season. You wanted to win the draft him on every FFPC made event team. We did on a couple. You win me. I'll come. We split the baby a little bit on some of that kind of stuff. But Rico Dattle was one of the biggest winners in the waiver wire last year. So I now have three straight years of Dave Canallus being a kingmaker at the running back position in ADP. Then I look at Chuba Hubbard, the lack of explosive runs, the lack of explosive plays. How last year he sort of conceded a lot of work to Rico Dattle. And how this franchise drafted Jonathan Brooks at like 46 overall. Not first running back off the board in the 2024 draft. They've stuck by him and now he's fully healthy. Like this guy on a per game basis, his point for game at Texas were similar to beach on Robinson. I understand the injury history. He could burn us. But Jonathan Brooks sitting there in the eighth round of drafts right now. Looks pretty good to me. Yeah, the hype train on this is driving me crazy a little bit just because how his ADP is exploding and some of the names. He's going next to I think this is a fundamental difference between you and I Theo is like I'm an inner. I'm always a contrarian. You I feel like ride every hype train right last year. I create a lot of train. I create the right train. I created the money chain years ago. I created the money chain and look where we are. We've made so much money. To me to me Jonathan Brooks just looks like Marshawn Lloyd with better PR. The dude can't stay healthy. He's played two snaps. If Chuba Hubbard stays healthy, he's just a committee back. I mean, I get it. Hey, I will say when Dave can allister after him, which by the way, it was years ago. He said the reason we're taking him is because he's both a really talented runner and a really talented pass catcher. And that's so important to my offense in particular where it doesn't tip your play calling hand. The defense doesn't know what's coming. You can split them out. And that's not Chuba Hubbard. Chuba Hubbard is very much at one dimensional early down runner. And to your point, he hasn't been very efficient. Rico Dattles was way better, but dot, dot, dot. It's also Dave can Alice, you know, wants to marry his daughter off to this guy. You know, his obsess with Chuba Hubbard. You know, it took a lot to get him to move off of Chuba Hubbard towards Rico Dattles. Even though Dattles have like multiple 200 yard games at that point. Yeah. I don't know. We'll see where this, the ADP ends up, but you know, my instinct is always to kind of be wary of the offseason hype train guys. I think also from like a game theory perspective, some of those we've talked about this Scott, where a lot of people are going to be very running back top heavy with their drafts and have to play catch up at like tight end quarterback wide receiver in like the seventh eighth ninth round of drafts. I think there's a chance that Jonathan Brooks could affect win rates this year. If he maintains that eighth round draft pick because I think people are going to not necessarily gravitate towards him in that range. So I think Brooks is super interesting. Here's one from let go. Let shout out to Brett Whitefield. I'm going to cut you off the screen. Is is Darnal Mooney the guy if Malik neighbors is out for the for the first four weeks? No. Darnal Mooney is not the guy. If Malik neighbors actually it's going to be Isaiah likely, but Scott can tell you it's Scott loves to shoot Strais at Wondell Robinson and he loves to compliment Darnal Mooney. So this is a Scott Barrett hit list right here. Let's do it. He is such an upgrade over Wondell Robert. That's all I know. Yeah. I mean, I think I think Darnal Mooney is super underrated. I think you would say it's Isaiah likely and it very well could be he has more of the PPR cheat code archetype than then Mooney more downfield. But I don't know. I just think Mooney is super underrated. I think he's sort of like a rich man's Darius Sladen at the very least and I think that makes the most sense. Bro, if I were drafting these bestball streets, I'm not not really a best ball guy, but I would have like 100% Darnal Mooney. Disgusting. Disgusting. Disgusting. Darnal Mooney hype. The Darnal Mooney propaganda has to end at some point. I mean, I'm not drafting him in a start sit, but but best ball like 100% of teams for sure. I understand the the the law of of Darnal Mooney from a best ball perspective, especially if we're saying Malachi fields is going to be sort of a boom bus blocking guys. Yeah, I know there's a lot of that going along. He's almost as bad as one down. We have B Fred who dropped a super chat. Love both of you guys in the channel wanted to throw a fun one out as I head out. If you could start your draft with both Jamal your Gibbs and B. John Robinson, but you don't get to pick until round six, would you take it? One thousand percent I would do this. This is like, and again, this is Scott is going to talk about power law players in Scott. If I have a chance to get 45 points per game with my first two picks and then I chill out until round six, I'm doing this a million percent. Also we know both those guys are really, really good. The chances of both those guys, one of those guys failing, barring injury, like this is such a no brainer for me. What about a kind of share your thoughts as well? I mean, you stole the words right out of my mouth. Shout out to B Fred. Thanks for the super chat. That's awesome. But yeah, I would just encourage you to reread upside wins championships. This is my self proclaimed Magnum Opus from, I don't know, 2022. But yeah, it's just this is the way fantasy football works. This is actually another one of our questions was, do you want to take a, is it better to take a stars and scrubs approach or a balanced approach when drafting? I'm guessing this is an auction drafter. I just told him, yeah, reread upside wins championships. We want these power law players. You have the safety net of the waiver wire to fall back on really in any given season. There's only like three to five players who actually really matter in terms of you winning and you losing your championship and just who can get as many of those guys like in 2021, Christian McCaffrey owners had a, like a 60% chance of making it to their championship. It doesn't matter what else they did, they could have just like farted around and you know, just took kickers with their rounds two through 15, but like having Christian McCaffrey made all the difference. I will say it does depend a little bit on your league. Like if it's a, a 10 team league, definitely superstars and scrubs, 18 even more so, but a 16 team league then depth really matters. You need a more balanced team. But yeah, generally speaking, this is like one of the best things you could do. Gibbs and Bijan, my goodness, that is a devastating combo. Scott, you're getting a shout out from Sexton whiskey who says Scott was high. That's a hardcore YouTube name. Scott was higher on Colson, Loveland, then Tyler Warren all off season last year. Got to feel great about seeing the Loveland hype now after a slow start last season. Absolutely. And I'll say that Loveland is a player that Scott was really high on. So Ryan Heath was really high on Brett Whitefield was really high on and I was really high on Colson, Loveland definitely was a fantasy points guy. And we all have a ton of exposure to him in dynasty. So like Colson, Loveland season, we are here for it and we are going to profit from it. And you're going to profit from watching fantasy points all off season long. We're going to hope to nail things like we did last year with the Loveland one. Dynasty side. You can go check out all of my dynasty rankings over at fantasy points. We're going to go a couple more minutes here. My producer in the background is furious that this is going to go another 90 minutes, 90 minutes back to back days live. What kind of sicko does this with his time? Shout out to Andrew Cooper, make sure you check out the show with Cooper yesterday. And I've got Scott Barrett in the mix here for an hour and 23 minutes. We're going to push it to a full 90 here before we close it out. Scott, let's take a couple more of these. The J works is talking about Kyle Menungai as a dark horse. Not sure what the he was probably talking to somebody else in the chat regarding his troupe Hubbard comment, but Kyle Menungai is interesting because you got Kyle Menungai and you got Blake Corm sort of in this little tier of their own as like the cool RB2 slash handcuffs plus who could end up with like a big touchdown scoring season on plus offenses. Your thoughts on Kyle Menungai as a year to potential dark horse breakout kit. Not really break out. He broke out last year. The value of Kyle Menungai, Ben Johnson offenses continually support two running backs year and year out. Um, yeah, I mean, this is one I think we need to know. I need to do a lot more research on and really think deeply about just because there is a ton of upside here. If there's just one guy, right? If if Deandre Swift were to suffer injury or Mangaie suffer or if Ben Johnson just has one singular bell cow, um, because this offense where, you know, everyone it wants to draft post a Mavliant and Luther Burden, Romo Dunez, but let's not forget Ben Johnson track, Rucker with the running back position. And Menungai, like, could he be like the new Isaiah Pacheco? Like he went super late in the draft, but yeah, round seven, but it's he was another Rutgers guy, right? And you know, Rutgers just like is this dead, awful offense. So maybe he's a lot more talented, just like Pacheco, a fellow Rutgers alum, just like I am. Uh, and you know, at the tail end of last season, week 11 on, I think Menungai had like 12 touches in every single game, except for one of them. And so yeah, I mean, like, I think the baseline, the base, the base case is this is like a gross 50, 50 committee or neither guy really matters unless the, the, the weeks the other guy gets hurt. But hey, what if, what if Menungai is just like way better than Deandre Swift and he give him a 70% snap share? So that's just something I need to spend more time working through. I will say like at cost, I think Menungai is a great, I just took him in a, a bestball, expert league bestball draft I'm doing. But I would, I would say probably not, you know, one of my guys, not one of my exotias, but could be. I, it's one I need to give more thought to. Yeah, he's an interesting player because we saw it last year. We all thought there was a potential Chicago could add another back into the mix, but they're very comfortable with Deandre Swift and Kyle Menungai. And it's just the Ben Johnson track record where if this bears offense ends up becoming like a top two or three scoring offense, I think the running backs are the ones that might end up being the best values. Swift is relatively affordable, but Menungai is really affordable. So I think he's an interesting one. I've drafted a lot of Menungai on underdog as like a bestball guy. We don't have to worry about what weeks to start him, but I think there might be some value with him and redraft as well. Scott and the contingent upside, I'm going to say contingent upside about 800 times next couple months, but there's true. If Deandre Swift missed any time, Menungai would be a guy we'd rank probably as a low-end or be one on the week. Really interesting player. Here's one from Naughty in the chat on YouTube. Scott, this one hurts a bit, traded away Parker Washington and Ameca Egg Buka for Drake London on a win-now-dynasty window. I think I'm going to predict Scott doesn't mind this one because I know I'm all in on Drake London this year. Drake London just got the bag. Drake London is a dark horse candidate to finish as the wide receiver one over all this year in my book. Scott, where are you at on this one? Trading away. A year two wide receiver like Ameca Egg Buka and a big time breakout candidate like Parker Washington who's only 24 years old for Drake London who just got a bag yesterday. I think that's a slight loss today. I think that was a good process trade though. That's an Adam Harstead quote. It's like if you win every trade, you're not trading anywhere near enough. You're going to have some losses, but on the whole, it's always plus EV to be trading more than that. You just got to take these L's and try it and this one is a very minor L. Theonai massive Drake London fans. You look at what he did. I was at week three on last year before he got hurt. It was the overall wide receiver one in Yards per Game, Fantasy Points per Game over that hot streak. And yeah, I very bullish to a tag of a low up by the way. For all his faults, it's still like glaringly one of the most accurate quarterbacks in football. That should be an upgrade. Here's one and this feels like a Brett Whitefield question as well. Shout out to Brett Whitefield. Brett Whitefield's going to be back on live sometime really soon. We're going to do a 2026 rookies show where we're going to drop some predictions for how they are going to score this year in fantasy. Look for Brett sometime soon, but Brett is everywhere at fantasy points and behind the scenes at fantasy points data. Eli Raritan, Oscar Delp. This is from rush extra Xtreme on YouTube. Rush says Eli Raritan or Oscar Delp, where is the breakout more likely this year and for dynasty? I will say that the breakout is more likely for Eli Raritan this year than Oscar Delp in dynasty. A slight lean to slightly in maybe the Delp in dynasty. But for Raritan, I think the pathways more clear for this year because Scott Jordan Tyson, Chris Alave, John Johnson sort of established himself last year and has insulation in this offense. Delp has a little bit fewer outs this year. I think he'll have some spike weeks. But when I look at Hunter Henry, Hunter Henry had a career year last year, but he's getting older. I think Raritan could end up being an more impactful player for this year. Dynasty really close, but Delp is just such a freak athlete and I think man, he's a fun one. So they're both good. I'd like to have a lot of dynasty exposure to both of them, but wonder where you're at, Scott. I'd be shocked if either guy breaks out this year, not really drafting in any format, but for dynasty. And if a breakout were to occur this year, I'd go with Delp just because I think the patriots are much higher on Hunter Henry than the Saints are on juan. Yeah, and make sure you're tuning in tomorrow. Grand Barfield's going to be on with me. Shout out to Scott for being on here. 90 straight minutes. Scott, we did like two hours straight last week.
