Fantasy Football Draft Q&A: Puka, CMC, JSN, Egbuka, Lamar Trades & More (Ep. 2157)

This is an iHeart podcast, Guaranteed Human. Hey, this is Hayes Davenport and Sean Clemence. We host the podcast, Hollywood Handbook. Each week we talk to someone in show business and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, Adam Scott, Danny McBride, Ben Stillert and a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Alright, and welcome into fancy pros live on Twitch and we're still nursing our hangovers coming off the fancy pros, fancy fest and the after party, but the NFL never sleeps as the preseason continues with a full slate of games tonight. So we've got a NFL Q&A coming your way right here on twitch.tv/fansypros. I'm your host Seth Wolcock, back with a man who has become very well known around these parts for his short form content on fancy pros YouTube channel. He is Lucas Wensel. Lucas, great to have you here on the program. How are you on this fine Thursday afternoon and any big plans on the agenda for the second of last weekend without pro football on the agenda? Well, great to be here. Thanks for the kind introduction, too. Goodness. I'm just happy to make content. That's what I love doing. But nothing helps you, honest. Nothing this weekend. You and I had the mic sound before we started sort of the live stream here. I just wanted to move into a new house and everything. So I am looking forward to a weekend of doing nothing after moving everything this last weekend. So you say big plans. My big plans are me and the couch this weekend. So nothing exciting for me. Hey, not too bad of a way to do it. I completely understand the move takes a lot out of you. I think I've, you know, before I moved into my house the in the last year, I think I probably moved 10 times in the last 14 years. So completely understand that. And not a bad weekend to do it, though, of course, we got week zero for college football firing up. I myself got roped into a late Saturday evening camping trip up to the lake. So going to be doing that with the wives and some friends and some kids. So that's really what I got going on. I'm sure I'll be on the clock a couple of different places as well as I seemingly have been on like across like five different platforms right now. So I'm just getting things to my email, things to my text, things to my notifications all day long. Lucas, any more drafts for you here? So far, this redraft season. Yeah. I've still got like my two most prominent homeligs coming up. So the one that I've been running a home league for goodness, we're going on like 12, 13 years now. Yeah. That draft is coming up Labor Day weekend. And then just started up actually a new keeper league this year with a few of my buddies as well. And that is a week. That was a week from yesterday. So six days away. So no, we're, I'm in the thick of it. I like encourage all, if I'm not the manager, I encourage all my other managers. Like, hey, can we not draft like two weeks before the season? Can we wait as long as possible? Because it's been a landmine city here. It seems like over the last week and a half, two weeks. I couldn't agree more, dude. I have been just keeping my head on a swivel every second. I feel like when I wake up and go to bed, the last thing I'm doing is scrolling Adam Sheptor's Twitter feed. You know, my wife's probably wondering like why the usage time is so high up on him and rap sheets profiles, right? But that's kind of what we have to do this time of year and excited dive into. I think I have about four drafts left. One, I still need to actually pick a date and a time share being a commissioner around. So definitely need to get on that for sure. Looks like we have some fine folks joining us today as well. So go ahead and drop your questions below and we'll be sure to get to them as many as we can over the next 45 to 60 minutes. And we want to make sure that you guys are using the fancy pros tools right now at fancy pros.com. Make sure you're checking out the whole suite over there. If you have your drafts, the fancy pros draft assistant is a must have. I just did a fancy pros insider leak here within the last couple days that absolutely cleaned up in. It was a 16 team league and I was glad to have the assistant there with me. Also make sure after this stream, you guys are checking out the fancy pros YouTube channel and the podcast feed for full offerings of episodes and some short form content coming your way. And also just one more time if you guys can do this quick favor and make sure you're following the channel. And if you aren't already subscribed right now, you can do so for free with Amazon Prime Gaming, looks like the questions are coming in fast and furious. First of all, want to check in on some friends. We got Dresy checking in saying, hey, what's up, Dresy? Great to see you. We got TCB saying, howdy, Seth and Lucas, good to see you TCB. Thanks for checking back in with us and a whole lot of questions coming our way as well. Let's go ahead and start at the top here, Lucas with W Collins, always front and center here saying, what's up, boys? I have the fifth pick. And in all my mocks, it's usually Puka, JSN or CMC at that spot, which one would be the better option? I'm going to 12 team half PPR, two riders here, two running back, one tight end and a flex league. So pretty standard type of format here, Lucas, who do you have the highest in your rankings? Because it is Puka to me, but JSN, I do have five overall. So I wouldn't mind taking him if people are, you know, going after Puka early in the drafts despite, you know, some of the rumors floating around surrounding him right now. Yeah. It's still Puka very clearly, in my opinion, because I just want the top pass catcher who can purchase top three numbers on what I think is the consensus agreement that the Rams are going to be the best offense at the NFL. So I'm with you on Puka. I would love to sit here and have a debate around how much do you dock Christian McCaffrey for quote unquote, tightness because he would be ahead of JSN, but as soon as I comes out and you're like, okay, do I really want to play this game though? I think I still give JSN the safety edge there now, but once upon a time before Christian McCaffrey had whatever the heck tightness is, I did have him ahead of JSN, but it's, it's Puka out of those three for me. Yeah. I talked to Dr. Deepak Jonah and Boggs on Monday on an episode and, you know, Deepak really said that he was kind of a fan of CMC's plan to ramp up early in the preseason, then kind of ramp himself back down and then hopefully get back up to full speed by week one. So he's in on CMC. So I'm not overly concerned about the injury, but at the same time, like this is always going to be a question mark with Christian McCaffrey. Erickson's gave us, you know, the laundry list of trends that do not support him reproducing his RB1 finish from a year ago. So what we shall see, but definitely Puka is the clear one W Collins if he's there for both Lucas and I, Reaper is checking in saying happy Thursday, happy Thursday to two Reaper is saying, what do you guys think of the top three most impactful pieces of news are in this year's draft for a standard league? So again, I think we're going to talk at the top of the draft, right? Like what's happening with Puka Nuku will there be a suspension Christian McCaffrey? Will he be 100% healthy? But then even Lucas, we have this like slog of running backs in the second and third round, whether it's Kenneth Walker, whether it's down the board a little bit more Jeremiah Love, what's happening with him? Josh Jacobs, like Ashen Gentie, that holds here that they're all kind of banged up. Those are kind of the biggest storylines to me. Do you have any other ones that you throw out there for Reapers to keep in mind? Yeah, I was going to say I feel like we could do three headlines alone on just the running back position with the first three rounds and those are probably going to be the most important. I think the other one too, maybe that impacts fantasy rankings the most. I do think is the Jordan Tyson news, obviously, of him missing two months just because I think that that does wonders for Chris Alaves value this year in my opinion. So that would be the other one, but I think I'm with you like the running back ones are the major ones you have to keep an eye on, especially Ashen Gentie, what the heck are we doing with his ADP now? Right. I'm 100% with you, but especially as we get closer to drafts, like the Ashen Gentie pieces is the one that I am for sure, keeping as close taps on as possible. Yeah, and I also think we need to keep in mind the Atlanta quarterback situation. We're going to hear more. There's some rumors flying around right now that to a tag of a low up might be actually playing for a roster spot today that Michael Penix likely going to be the day one starter. So that might hurt Drake London in rankings a little bit. I don't think it takes beach on off his one or one or one or two however you like to cut him up at the top, but certainly, uh, you know, Drake London and Kyle Pitz, we might have to adjust the rankings. If it is Michael Panic's junior under center because I think a lot of us were kind of under the impression, Lucas, that it would be to a tag of a low up front week one because that's kind of why we thought they brought him in. Let's Michael Panic's kind of slow play and get back to health with his injury. Yeah, 100% that that seemed to be the like almost guaranteed to his playing at least four games this year. He's fighting for a frickin' roster spot now. Yeah. Oh, brother. I can't imagine how bad the camp has been for him. Yeah. Absolutely. There with you. Shout out to our friends. E Daddy, Rive Rio, and Pac-Man Willie for some new followers to the channel. We really appreciate that support there. And let's go ahead and no, I did not see Seth. You see my discord PFP. No, I did not. I'll have to look at that. That president. My apologies for missing you there. The fancyprose.com/chat, that's where you can find us over there. I'll make sure I check that out, man. Am I going to? That's the thing I hate about direct messaging, sometimes like no matter the platform. Sometimes like you have to even accept it, right? It's like not even like it's just going to be in my inbox. It's like this person has sent you a request to DM you like just I'm not that special. I haven't been to DM you, right? So yeah, that's how I feel about it. Let's get to a question here from Dresy as well saying and a 10 man super flex dynasty league. Should I move Lamar and if I do what should I look for in return, I'm not a contender this year. I'm kind of in a rebuild type of stage. Lucas to me like I don't hate the idea if you have Stroud, Darnell, and Nick's already like, can I sell Lamar for picks if I'm if I'm not contending, right? Like 2027, we just did a preview of the class will be out on the dynasty channel a little bit later this afternoon. This is a loaded class that I'm trying to get first round picks. And if I could get a 2027, a 2028 first, maybe a 2027 second, but would that be something you would entertain for Lamar Jackson? I think I would. I think whatever I consider a rebuild in dynasty though, I do need to take the deep breath. of like, do I understand what I'm actually getting myself into right? Because it's easy in theory to say, oh, I can just sell them our jackson for picks. But then the reality is you have to recognize, no, I am like, like, I am sinking my team for the foreseeable two, three, four, five years, right, depending on what goes right and or wrong with your rebuild. Especially in a 10 man, because it is scholars, you need those difference makers. Exactly. So that's, that's my only like, pause on the question is like fully embraced that this is what you're getting yourself into. If you're willing to take that plunge, if you're willing to sacrifice the next two, three, four years, by all means, yes, go see what picks you can get for the 20, 20, seven class because in a 10 man league, I got to imagine people would be willing to pay up for those picks to get an edge at quarterback in what's, you know, a smaller league, specifically. Yeah. Yeah. And while, you know, Donald and Stroud aren't going to get you quite the return that Lamarwood float them around in a package. See what you could get for maybe both of them or just, you know, put them with a skill position player or a lesser pick. See if you can get it in the 20, 27 first round, but Driesie, that's really where I am. If I'm making trades at this point in the year when I don't know what my outlook looks like and, you know, because you say you're more of a rebuilder, but still in a 10 team league, anything could happen. You know, 16s are probably making the playoffs that I imagine still. So lots up in the air. So yeah, I like Lucas's thought that, hey, if you're going to sell Lamar, just be, you know, be wary that it could be a long journey back to relevancy there for you. Dead zone specter checking in saying, I have the number two pick in my keeper league, Gibbs and Bijan kept. Sounds like Chase is going to be going first. Who would you guys go with second? My keepers were a man on guy for the 11th round, Juckins for the 5th round. Would you want to go wide receiver first or stack another running back? So basically, we're looking at, you know, Chase Gibbs, Bijan off the board. Puka is still who I have next on my redraft board, all things considered yourself, Lucas. Yeah. That's exactly where I'm at as well. If assuming Puka isn't being kept either, then yes, that'd be my pick. Okay. And we also have a little bit of a breaking headline news here to get to as well. The dolphins have traded wide receiver 22 at well back to the Los Angeles ramps in exchange for running back. Judge ques Hunter, a talented guy come out of Auburn a couple years ago. Is this concern you at all if you're a Puka manager that maybe they think something is coming down their way or do you think this is just like, hey, the Rams have been looking for a third or fourth additional wide receiver out there and maybe that's 22 at well coming back to town. Yeah. I think the latter and 22 at well have the familiarity in Los Angeles already. And like, I look, I'm not going to pretend Juck was Hunter moving off as like a big massive boost for Blake Korn or anything, but like is that also a vote of confidence? And then the one to punch the Rams have in Kyron and Blake Korn, then two. So I think 22 at well has the familiarity. I'm sure that was kind of a, we need somebody in here, especially for bracing for Puka to miss time. But I don't want to say it's a nothing burger, but it's moving the needle like a fraction for me. And like, Puka comes down. I'm not moving off of him. Sure. But I also wonder what that means in terms of the confidence and carbon moments in Blake Korn as well. Yeah. I mean, I'm pretty in on both of them right now at current cost. Like, I think Blake Korn could honestly be a viable weekly flex, especially if the Rams are playing in more positive game scripts. And like, truthfully, their season doesn't start till what late November Thanksgiving time, where they're going to have to really maybe dial Kyron back just a little bit, maybe expand that Blake Korn workload. So yeah, I'm there with you as well. And before we keep it moving, just a quick reminder that if you are enjoying a stream, make sure you guys are following us so you don't miss any other streams.

If you guys are a subscriber, go and drop some of the, either the DJ Seth emoji or the old man Tycoon oil drill and Seth too as well. We have some fun ones over there. So let's see those spam those in the chat for us. That'd be super full up fun. Here's one from OJ Ricky. Hey guys, just wondering if you guys had the fourth pick who you would pick up. I'm mostly seeing Puka and I'm not really impressed with him with the injury and possible suspension. So if you wanted to avoid Puka there at the 104, is this somewhere Lucas that you would consider going CMC or JSN is JSN for me, kind of with the bullet if Chase is off the board and those top two running backs and I don't want to go Puka. But would you make the argument that could be someone else? Uh, could I also offer an Amon Ross St. Brown, if that is your favorite as well? That's fine. I've gone back and forth between him and JSN and my rankings. So I know on our list earlier, we talked about Puka, JSN, McCaffrey, I would also saw an Amon Ross St. Brown in there. If you really just want the consistency, if you want the, yes, like, I don't know how the Lions ended up, I mean, I know how they ended up with the kick walk schedule. They finished last in the NFC North last year. But when you look at the schedule, you look at how, how many games are playing indoors? Is your 12 to 17 games? 12 to 17. Yes. It's tempting. It's really tempting to just say Amon Ross St. Brown. He's consistent, wide receiver three over all top five points per game. I, why don't I just get consistency right off the bat, and I can figure out the rest of my team based off of probably one of the safest players in fantasy football. So I might offer that too as an option if that's more of your phone. Yeah. Yeah. I think the floor is definitely there. I mean, maybe this is the year I'm pretty high on Jared golf. I got to take him to lead the NFL in passing yards this season. I've been drafting James and Williams everywhere. So I don't hate the fact that maybe you take Amon Ross, he does feel a little bit safer than JSN. JSN though might have just a little bit higher of a ceiling, especially if that see it out defense falls off just a little bit this season playing tougher competition and losing some of the pieces they did in free agency. Looks like we have some of our, uh, the spamming company, not the emojis, some, some, uh, old oil tycoon Seth emojis coming in from Reapers and Collins. And also Zouter using some of the fancy pros emojis. We appreciate you guys so much for subscribing here, right on twitch.tv slash fantasy pros. JPG up next, okay, well, we just kind of got a lot of food, yeah, a lot of food to question. So we'll leave that one there. We kind of just shot, shot it there. Uh, DPG, here's another one from Driesy is demonic clayboard worth picking up off of waivers. I think he's worth having on the watch list, but personally, like I think he's still fighting an uphill battle being, you know, as low draft capital as he was. He wasn't also as fast as I thought he was going to be in the 40 yard dash. So like I'm kind of lower on clayboard as a prospect. What about yourself here, Lucas, do you have any more, you know, like to him in redraft purposes? I think I like your answer best of keep him on the watch list without knowing the size of the league or like formatting, roster size, specifically, uh, yeah, I think he's probably more of a watch list player for me. The reason why I'm intrigued is just because Aaron Jones is 30 plus how many years old, what's his health like for the entire season? I don't, I also don't want to like roster in my clayboard and be like, well, Aaron Jones is going to miss five games this year, well, we don't know which five games he's actually going to miss, right? And at that point, you're just clogging up a roster spot on the theoretical. So yeah, he's a watch list player for me. Uh, I'm also just a huge Jordan Mason fan this year as well. I think, I think the Vikings really want to base their entire run game off of him. And if they're going to be better this year, that's a lot more scoring opportunities for Jordan Mason to, to soak up a lot more of the work. So not to turn a demand clayboard question into a Jordan Mason question, but point of being watch list sure, but it's more so perspective than anything else. Okay. Good stuff. There also wanted to shadow our friends and Rico, who just followed us and or just resubbed actually for 12 months at year one, thank you so much for that. And Pat fan, new follower, reapers just kept their sub gift and continued their sub. So thank you guys so much for that sport. We really, really appreciate that coming back in here to some more questions. Let's see, is there a way to use draft assistance on mobile drafts, or does it have to be on the computer? I, I think you can use it both ways here killer. I have definitely more leaned into doing it like on my desktop, but I think you can use it on the fancy pros app. Go ahead and download that app, fancy pros.com/apps and I'll get you over there. But try it out. Let us know. You can always message our customer support. They have, I think like a 99 guaranteed satisfaction rate and right now. So AJ and the boys will all be out over there if you do have any issues with it killer. But thanks so much for the question there, not 100% sure on that, but we will certainly get an answer for that. Okay. Yes. And Sal, let us know in the back end. He has used it on the app for the Scott fish bowl. It's easy. So great stuff there. Sal also Yoshi just gloom some new followers of coming our way. And then we also have bang, bang, sports, 12 teams, super flex, PPR, $200 auction. Do I keep JSN for $35 or DAC for $24? Lucas, it feels like that's a value for JSN at $35, but you know, getting a quarterback like DAC Prescott, who seemingly a top 12 guy every season at 24, not bad either. Do you have a preference one way or the other in the super flex for bang, bang? Give me the lead asset in JSN. There's just too many other quarterbacks. I like this year that are kind of in this like quarterback eight to go all the way down to 18 tier who attack Prescott in my opinion. So I think you only get one JSN for $35, you can get a lot of other DAC Prescott for $24 in my opinion. So that's 100% my opinion. What's your position here on the onesy positions? Is Josh Allen a steep pick for round three is what Pac-Man willy wants to know? And I'll tell you what, I have him right now, my overall rankings down at player 28 overall. That being said, I have not drafted Josh Allen really once in that range because to me, it's really hard to sacrifice an elite running back or an elite wide receiver to go quarterback when you just said it a lot of great quarterbacks. I've been punning the position almost entirely most drafts. where I've just been grabbing Malik Willis and like a Jared Gosley. Do you have a different approach? Have you been taking Josh Allen and Drafts at all? - There was a time where it seemed like half the third round was dealing with an injury in some capacity. And I didn't like reaching into the fourth round for like the gold mine of wide receivers that exist there. So there was like a maybe five day stretch from like, you know what, maybe Josh Allen actually is a good pick in round three because I get my elite asset. I know he's going to produce versus anybody else right now. I have no clue if they're going to be ready for week one. Now the field has kind of sorted itself out a little bit. Yeah, I've gone back to like, I just can't help but look at BoNix, quarterback 14, Jared Goff, quarterback 16, Kyle and Murray 17. I mean, keep going down the list until you get to the Malik Willis of the world, right? That's way too tempting for me this year. Because frankly, I just think we are better at drafting quarterbacks later than we are running backs or wide receivers later. We just have a higher hit rate at doing so as a community. So that's where it becomes hard for me of, let me get a very good talented asset that we all draft well in round three. Compared to later, I can get a quarterback that will probably I'll perform his ADP because we're just better at drafting them later. It's just, it's matter of fact at this point. I mean, last year was Drake May, right? Like I feel like everybody was on Drake May. Yeah, like I can't even take credit for it because every single analyst it felt like every player out there was because he felt like the obvious pick. This year it feels like it's Malik Willis who's going to be one upside that we're drafting outside of the top 20. So yeah, it's shout to Driesie Little Joe. Rico, I hope you drop it in there. Shout Joe, Rico over there on the baseball side. I think he's been in a great job this season. Also, guys, make sure you're checking out the face pro cheat sheet creator.

We got MF Blakely checking in. What tier of wide receiver do you start to get concerned about with them being your wide receiver? One, Lucas, if you start RB, RB is a lot of people. I feel like are at the end of drafts. You're coming back into that range where I've always been of the mindset. If I'm at 12, I'm probably going RB. But then I want like Ted Romick million. It's kind of like the last guy. I feel really comfortable with my wide receiver one. And then I'm kind of shooting like the upside shot with players in a similar tier, such as the Mecca, Buka and Garrett Wilson. But Ted Romick million is really the last player I feel comfortable with. What about yourself? Hey, this is Ace Davenport and Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood handbook on the big money players network. Our show is extremely accessible to first time listeners. Each week, we talk to someone in show business, aka the biz, and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman. Not that great. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head? No. How about we flip this around, OK? What is the surprise one, then? Well, actually, you think as the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott, this entire time, you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. I would never let go of that. I have. I would never set expectations for something like that. It sounds like if the universe allows for something like that to happen, I am open to it. I'm always going to accept, OK? Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity exuding. I could smell it walking on the hallway to be honest with me. I was like, is that what we need? Nope. It's a fragile masculinity. Ben Stiller, no. I think there's a lot of times out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is. You know what I mean? Like you're like, oh, it's so stupid. Everyone's so dumb. And fake. Right, fake and also not interested. Or just like, oh, I've got my life. I don't care about your life. And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally, he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode. But he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the I Heart Radio app Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Our town is small taters by most standards, right? But to the people who grew up here, it's everything. What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America? Developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area. The first thing you see when it pops up is high nears and Appalachia. But they weren't just planning houses. We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life. Stop right there. Is that normal? A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment. Got me meant to rule great and decides to fight back. Do not use my hard work to sell your bull-- they're not just opposing what's being planned for here. Our hometown is not a test, too. They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration. I guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies, now, did you? Listen to our town on the I Heart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Munga Shateekeler, and I'm back with a new season of the podcast Skyline Drive. This time, I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones, and brain replacement to try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about. And what it really means to live forever for all of us. I learned about some rad science. I can make a brain for you. And then we can test what draw is the best for your brain, as opposed to his brain. Here's some hard truths. I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five-year acceleration and get myself into a world of trouble. I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work. Make you look more defined. They say it works. I don't know. Listen to Skyline Drive, how to live forever on the I Heart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, that's the exact same for me. It's not even though you talked about Garrett Wilson, not upper tier, I think that whole range of Chris Olave to Tedro McMill and I would put Chris Olave more towards like the Nico Collins range. But yeah, that wide receiver, what, 13 to 21 range? Whoever's at the end of that tier, I'm like, after that, like I still feel a little bit like knots in my stomach that I have to digest to them as my wide receiver won. But thankfully, like you said, if you're like the 12th pick for instance, it's not that unreasonable to think you can still get a T Higgins and Aladdin Maconkie and Mekkeg, Buka and Garrett Wilson, right? But if you only walk away with one of those guys, that's where I start to get a little, who, boy, okay, we really got to start kneeling our wide receiver picks and as the draft goes on, it just, like I mentioned earlier with the whole Josh Hound thing, it just gets more difficult to do that as you get deeper into the wide receiver, 30 range and it seems like after Parker Washington, nobody wants to draft that range, right? So that's why I'm like, if I can get two of those guys, I feel much better if I only get one. - Technic Mill and Garrett Wilson is kind of the bottoming out of that tier for me. - Okay, and W Collins saying, dang, he's throwing shade on D-Brow and he's not, I'm here. Hey, that's what you get over here at Fancy Pros. We take shots at each other because we're all friends at the end of the day. So let's go ahead here to Kyle saying, "Just trade in my homes, Christiana Watson "and a 2027 late second for Lamar Jackson." So in verse of kind of what we just saw earlier, where someone's acquiring Lamar Jackson in a PPR Superflex dynasty 12 team, though this time, thoughts on that. Do you think that's fair? A late 2027 second, my homes and Watson, I think it's pricey, but I don't hate it if you're going to win now this season. - Yeah, that's, I think that's where I'm at as well. Yeah, pricey, but if you are in a win now mode, like go out and go out and get Lamar Jackson. Go out and get your guy who is the consensus quarterback too. So, especially if you're not banking on my homes, it's actually being fully healthy, functional, choose your word there after his injury. If you don't think Christiana Watson can actually stay healthy the entire season, a late 2027 second. It's a loaded class, but at least it's a later second, right? There's ways in which you can compute this sound. So yeah, Lamar Jackson is a complete win here, but yeah, if you're in now mode, a hundred percent. - Zowder, a little baity type question. Hey guys, you're after Chase this week. Now he's question, will should I drop him? Or do we think he'll be ready there for the start of the season? Yeah, absolutely dropped your marches. I think it's a great move for you. That'll definitely win you your league. Absolutely. Cherry Poppins OG, what's up guys? Fantasy Pro subscribing here. Thank you so much for that. We really appreciate that. Cherry Popping OG. Seeing in the second round of a dicey league, where I took Puka in the first, where would you go for the second round? Running back, a cook, Hampton, and A-Chain, or A-Chain are on the board. What do you think? I'm going to guess this is no- not super flex since you went Puka and you're not concerned about getting a quarterback here in the second round. I don't hate the idea of cook or hampton. Those are kind of the guys I have right up there next in my dynasty rankings, H and quickly behind them, though, what about you, Lucas, do you like this strategy and do you have a running back in particularly that maybe sticks out to you? I personally could see Hampton being the preference over James Cook here. I like James Cook significantly more than Hampton significantly more. I like James Cook more than Hampton this season because I think this could be the year where we get it was like, okay, we know James Cook is a past catcher, but can he handle the workload? Okay, you can handle the workload. Okay, can he keep up all the touchdown scoring? Well, he might be able to. So what if this year is like trifecta in which that all happens for James Cook? So in a vacuum for this season, I think James Cook is a better, better asset, but over the long term, like we might have a little bit more runway here with the marine Hampton. So I think you can make the case either way. If you want to just push the chips in now, go hard this year. I think James Cook is your answer, but Hampton's not going to be too far behind. And like I said, we get a little bit more runway with him if you want to tie the break the tie there. Yeah, I hope the rest of the chargers, offensive line can stay healthy. They already lost center Tyler Beatish to a torn ACL and he had some like additional left knee damage. So he's definitely done for this year. Well, and like, I don't want to say Tyler Beatish was he's not like a game wrecking center, right? He's not a Jason Kelsey type a level center, but he is, I would say a league average type of center so to lose him definitely hurts a little bit, but I agree long terms. You're looking for that runway. Hampton would probably be my pick there as well. Gears Rubik's checking in saying, knowing Jonathan Taylor's injury history, would you take James Cook over him in a 10 man standard league? I think standard makes it interesting because James Cook definitely gets some of his value a little more than JT. I feel like from the receiving game. But that being said, like I do have JT a bit buried in my rankings, which is because I'm a little concerned overall about the colts and the end of what's going to happen here. You know, you got Daniel Jones coming off the injury out here. It's not 100% healthy. We'll see what keen and Allen still has left in the tank. So I would take James Cook pretty convincingly over JT and really any format. What about yourself, went so. Yeah. And I think the you named an important part of it here and in terms of of Rube, knowing Jonathan Taylor's injury history. If that is a concern for you and you just have more confidence, you'll sleep better at night taking James Cook there. I'm very okay with that because similar to you, Seth, like, I had my questions about JT since since the full off season has kicked off here. So I personally have more confidence in James Cook this year. JT could absolutely still smash everyone's projections this year. I don't want to like remove that from the table. But there's more question marks around the Colt offense. And if you're really questioning, okay, do I want to trust JT's injury history? Well, if you're going to sleep better at night, take James Cook, because I wouldn't laugh at you for that. Nobody else would laugh at you for that. And I think that's a perfectly reasonable take to. Yeah. And Dreezy, following up, he said he has been offered my homes in a 27 first for Lamar. Would you take that Lucas? Because like, I feel like that's again telling me like you're definitely probably not competing for this year. But at the same time, a 27 first and my homes two years from now, that could look really, really good, not knowing. Dreezy, can you let us know if that guy is, you know, a competitor and he's probably being the back half of your league or not. But that would help a little bit. Not knowing that though, Lucas, do you have a lean? Part of me says take Lamar because you are a take, take my homes in the first because again, like you said, in two years, I could look great if my homes returns to, you know, being a top five quarterback from a fantasy perspective. I know this buddy. We don't want to forecast too far into the future. We only know so much. Part of me doesn't mind it. Part of me doesn't mind that at all. I would love it if you get like a tiny little bit more of a sweetener, something that might make it a little bit more enticing to move off of Lamar because it is a risk you're taking with my homes. But to have that as your base for Lamar, I think it's a great place to start your negotiations. Yeah, see what else you can get there. You know, keep digging, but I think this is a great base of a trade. And if you want Lamar off your roster and you're looking to acquire 0.27 first, I think this is a good way to go about it where the cupboard is certainly not left bare there for you. Carlos, asking you here a great question. Draft strategy for a chop leagues. Really Lucas, when I'm looking for these guillotine, these chop these elimination style leagues. One, I'm not inviting week one injury on my team, like I am fading players who could not be out there for week one. You know, Ash and Gentie, Jeremiah love, Sia, Sari, you're off my draft board. Those types of players I'm eliminating. I'm also looking for teams with a really good run outs to the start of the season. I love the start for the chargers. I think they're going to come out ablazing. The Detroit lines have a really good setup to start off their season as well. And any other difference draft strategies come to mind for chop leagues for Carlos, something that I have experimented with is people keep talking about how the zero running back strategy is dead. Like nobody's doing it anymore this year. I've tried implementing that in chop leagues the last few years that surprise worked out really well for me. And part of it is you have to pick your spots and know which which points in your draft are worth selecting running backs. But I've seen people who start off running back running back with their first two picks. And then like we're talking like they're looking at who's going in like that wide receiver 30 range right now that nobody wants to do like Jaden Reed is their wide receiver one then. I'm like I just don't know if you can survive that through three weeks. Maybe you can get lucky by picking someone up off of a chop team eventually. But I've had luck when I when I start pretty heavy with the wide receiver and tight end apartment knowing I just get my advantages there. It's almost like short sorting short suiting yourself. Excuse me at a position with the intention of loading up everywhere else. I'm not as concerned about getting a balance team. I'm worried about getting the team that's going to score the most points on a given week. I found more success doing that through wide receivers. But again, that might just be how I drafted my luck over the last few years. But something I've experimented with and it found success. I don't hate that idea. Especially if you target those zero RB targets really specifically like, again, Tyler Algier go get him because he might start week one, right? Mike Washington, Jr. Might be a certain week one. March on Lloyd, these are kind of the running backs. I think I'd be targeting late for you. Players, you don't really have to sit and watch them develop quite as much Carlos. So I like that play a lot, Lucas, because you are more likely to get, you know, a stud running back off the waiver wire than if someone has been cut early and win RB heavy with that, you know, RB approach there in the early round. So love that. Here's another question coming from Aniko asking, hey, Jen's great show. We appreciate that. PPR keeper up to six up to six league, six point passing. I have the first two picks and then pick five and eight as well rebuilding a Buka Tyler Warren, May, Josh Jacobs, T Higgins, Wattleswift and Hendo all available. Who to target? I am thinking may a Buka Warren for youth and upside? What are your thoughts here? So this is interesting. It feels like any, Aniko, let us know if we're wrong on this, but I'm guessing like it doesn't matter what round you've picked them. You can just keep them for whatever. So if that's the case, I think you're right on track with a Buka Tyler Warren and May. Those would be my top three, but I don't hate keeping someone like Jalen Wattle either. Either if I don't have to pay like a, you know, a difference in price tag him and T Higgins and Josh Jacobs. They're all top 40 players for me. Yeah. Jalen Wattles the one name that I would consider throwing in there, but that is in my opinion, how concerned are you about the Buka toe spring going into the season? Does that play into your decision making it all for me? I still have a Buka ahead of Wattle, but I mean, we're talking about the same, same range of wide receiver here, same upside potential. So excuse me. Yeah. I think those are the ones that I would lean with a Buka in there. But again, if you have questions about a Buka's toe injury, like I would not laugh at you for keeping Wattles in stake because I love Jalen Wattles just as much this year. Okay. Fair enough. Here we got one coming in from Takula asking kept craft inflex or keep craft inflex or trade for DJ more. If I have stripling pickings, digs, need three wide receivers. I mean, oh, yeah. I don't hate the idea of going and get DJ more. If those are your three wide receivers and you have to start three of them, I am a little sketchy on that. What about you, Lucas? Yeah. That's exactly where I'm at, too. And again, I don't want to act like John who Smith's signing is like tanking Tucker crafts value to any extent. So that's a silly thing to have. But now with developments of John who Smith, he's a competent titan who could take snaps away from Tucker craft is at least early on in the season. If they want him to have more of a ramp up period, yeah, I don't mind trading Tucker craft and getting a guy like DJ more, especially, yeah. If it's stripling digs and pickings are your three wide receivers, I'd like a little bit more firepower in that wide receiver room. I have more confidence in streaming tight ends than streaming a fourth wide receiver to pair with them. Yeah. And it looks like craft was interested in his flex and he might even have a better tight end than him. You know, one of the top four or five guys. So yeah, don't hate that approach at all. Kind of a follow up here on a buka. Is he a risky pick at ADP Zeig's asking because I mean, he certainly could be. He came out blazing hot last year. He got the injury Baker got banged up and those things could unfold again, especially with him already dealing with an injury. I will say Todd bowls is always a bit hyperbolic with what he says about players injuries. He said that about Bucky. He might be back some time this summer. Sometimes this fall. Yeah, go go check out the episode we did on the Facebook YouTube channel after this show, Zeig and hear what Dr. Deepak Chona and Bogs had to say, I thought it was a really good discussion, but I do think a buka is risky, but like, it's one of those like, do you risk it for the biscuit, right? Because I do think a buka in that range has wide receiver one upside. Yeah, 100%. I mean, you have to consider that he had the third wide as gap of expected fantasy points versus actual fantasy points last year. You have to assume the execution is going to be there this year when you ship Mike Evans off to San Francisco. Cisco as well. So yeah, risky. You have to bake that in. I also think that's being baked in at cost where he's currently going closer to wide or see for 20 than he is wide or see for 10 right now where at one point, he was being steamed up to that wide or see for 14, 15 range. So I think it's being baked in. I'm willing to risk it for the biscuit because the upside is just simply too massive. I think it's about a bigger may, may feel pissed off playing for a contract too. Oh, yeah, that's an explosion waiting to happen. It feels like it feels like it's either going to go one or two ways for Tampa Bay and their fancy assets this season. See they're going all the way right or all the way wrong. So I'm going to mess around and find out about it for sure though. And this might be the hardest question of the night here from Pat fan 1177 six year golf or Malik Willis PPR Superflex 10 team. This is super tough. Like in a 10 team, I am kind of more implored to go Willis because I think he has the lead upside that being said though, Jared golf one of my favorite quarterback sleepers this season as well. I think I have both these guys one and two in my sleeper rankings this year. So what do you think here, Lucas? Do you have a difference in opinion? I have Jared golf ranked higher, but I do think Malik Willis has the higher upside because of what he can do with his legs. So my tiebreaker here would be do I have Jamison William Samlaporta or Ramon Rossane Brown in my roster? If I don't, I'm probably going to lean Willis. But if I can stack one of those two, then I might give the lean to Jared golf just to again, recognizing this is not a best ball league, just a PPR Superflex 10 team, but you know, the edge matters, I think in that case, that's what would break the tie for me. But flat out, if you have none of those lines, players, then I think I'm going to just go in Malik Willis there chasing the upside. Yeah, and I think it would also matter like who is your quarterback? One, is it someone super safe like a Josh Allen or is it a bit riskier like a Jackson Dart that could go one in two ways? Or you know, it's kind of in that similar ball camp. Can Caleb Williams Trevor Lawrence, these guys who were breakouts last year continue that momentum? So those I think would be the questions I would have there. We're going to get some more of your questions by the way. But before we do, a reminder that you can join our fantasy pros discord community. We're always having a blast over there where you can chat with other fans and actually get access to exclusive AMAs that wind up on our podcast feed. Our current schedule looks like this. We got warm and fits at five Eastern on the first Tuesday of every single month. So make sure you guys are looking forward to that. I think that's coming up next week, actually. So going to be a good time there, bogs and fits at five Eastern on the third Tuesday of every month and then Welsh and Erickson two Eastern every single Thursday for out of bounds. Make sure you check in them out, fancy pros dot com slash chat. Come get your questions answered and be on the show. Again, that's fancy pros dot com slash chat. All right, we're getting some more questions here. Fume with the next one. I already have chase in a top running back in pick two. Shygo McBride or Josh Allen in round three. I mean, it's tough to know without like saying, if this is a 12 team league, let's just assume Lucas and Fume, you can let us know in the chat. If it's maybe not a 12 team league, but I am like more inclined to go tight and early. If I'm going to the third round, I feel better about Brock Bowers personally, but either way, I'm going tight and early before quarterback early yourself, though. Yeah, I'm leaning McBride and I also have the temptation to say who else is on the board. Not because I'm like way out on Tray McBride. But again, we go back to this draft philosophy, where I just think we're better at picking out quarterbacks later. And there's a very good chance you can find a productive tight end on the way Revire eventually as well. John Johnson was one of those guys last year, right? To a person league. So, you know, in that case, maybe you get Tray McBride to like solidify your, your authority. I agree. So I would, I would lean those one of those lean one of those. I would lean McBride over Josh Allen of those two. Yeah, you know, I've talked a lot about this with Derek over the years. And like, as the league gets smaller, I'm more inclined to take an elite one Z position. Because I can, I still don't want to fall behind that wider seaver. And I think it's still like, hey, let's make sure we're competing in that arms race at wider seaver and running back. And I think if you're going to go with Tray McBride here in the third round of an 18 league, like, then I'm just coming back and pounding wider seaver and running back for like five straight, six straight rounds. I'll figure out quarterback later. I don't think you get, I want to double dip. But as the league expands, like when you're in a 16 team league, I feel less inclined to go after those. I know quarterbacks do become a little bit more valuable. But still, I think having those position edges matters so much in the smaller types of formats. Yeah. Here's one from Kibbles. Oh, hey, hey guys, love the show. Thanks so much for that. Kibbles. We appreciate your support. If I smash one running back in the first two or three rounds, would you get a handcuff, say, KW3, Kyron or whoever, or as Korum any standalone value? I do think Blake Korum has standalone value, Lucas. I think with the potential for just being more ahead in games and really having to make their season count at the end of it, I think Korum does have like RB3 standalone value. That being said, I am going after like, I think Kenneth Walker is a clear hand cuff. I think Beigeon has a clear hand cuff aside from that, though. And obviously Gibbs, I guess if you want Pacheco to, but those are, I do like the idea of going and getting those handcuffs, but it just kind of depends on the backs because there are some teams are just going to go to a committee and they can't really replace like an Ameri and Hampton. Do you want to be in Mitchel? Do you want Vidal? I'm not sure. Yeah, I'm with you on that. And I also kind of care where these handcuffs go in drafts too, because Kairan's a guy where I'm not going to handcuff like Korum. Again, I think they're standalone value there. And I also think that you're just having two backs competing in the same backfield that are both getting playing time. Korum becomes a great option of Kairan gets injured, but like, let's take Christian McCaffrey as an example, right? Kaelan Black and Jordan James are going like in the 15th round or later of your fate as a team. So like those are free at the end of your draft. So I also kind of care where I have to draft these players too and what capital I'm sacrificing at the cost of that. And as much as I love Blake Korum this year, I'm 100% with you. I think he has great standalone value. You know, for a guy like Kairan, I'm not looking to handcuff him outright because of the cost of capital as well. So that's the other thing that I would consider here. Sure. Yeah, it's a great point if you're spending a third round pick on Kairan Williams and then you have to come back in the 7th, 8th round and get Blake Korum. It becomes a little bit more pricey. I do like the security. You're in a sleep well and I know that you have the ramp backfield locked up, especially after the trade earlier today. But yeah, I don't hate that approach. Kibles, you know, it just kind of depends on the running back right. And who if there is a clear number two in that offense. And speaking on that kind of know, it's okay to laugh. Great reminder there from our friend here on Twitch saying, do I trade Mike Washington to genty owner or stash if trade. Give me some realistic targets. Please wider survey preferred. So I don't hate the idea of this. However, I also don't hate making that cost go up over the next two weeks. Seeing what happens if genty's not out there in week one, I think you're going to get more of a return in Mike Washington, Jr. That said, Lucas, do you like this approach? And if so, are there receiver targets you might be going after for a Mike Washington return? So my question is I always get concerned with this strategy of, I want to deal Mike Washington to the genty manager. Well, the genty manager needs to agree on a price with you first. And you're probably going to want to charge him and they're not going to be willing to pay the upcharge price most likely. So there's another part of me too. Then it's like actually the best ammunition you have is having somebody else's handcuffed because as soon as their running back goes down, Mike Washington sky rockets, right? So I actually think I side with you here of, I don't know if I'm ready to like do that yet. Mostly because I don't think I'm going to get the return. I would actually want for the perceived value that Mike Washington Jr. has. So yeah, I'm going to hold on to him. And I just think that's still the best ammunition you have is that you have somebody else's handcuffs. So when they really need them, oh boy, they're going to come begging and pleading when they do actually need him. That's when you can really hike up the price. Or you just have a top 25 running back at your disposal then too. And that's a great asset to have. Yeah. And it would depend what this team has a couple of names that I thought might be interesting. If I can get in this conversation of players that we're going at the back half of the first round, early second round in rookie drafts, if they have someone even out there like no more Cooper Jr. who hasn't had the best preseason who's falling down Eli Stowers had a really bad preseason and training camp. It sounds like two Dijon's tripling kind of the opposite way where he's been rising up into that conversation. Those would kind of be the players that I would be looking to grab if Jonah Coleman's out there, right? And I can trade a mic washing to to to a Jonah Coleman like that would be something. So just more of those other rookies, I think, but also like I think at the same time don't be afraid. If someone's willing to give up a 2027 second, those are going to be worth more than you know, the 2026 second you probably spent on my Washington. Yeah, especially if you're in a dynasty, like you can get really creative with that one. Yes, yes, absolutely. Here is a one from Card Bucks fans saying super flex keeper Caleb Williams for a fifth or a mecca, a buka for a ninth always. This is tough, man, because Caleb Williams is in a fifth. I think if there's a lot of other quarterbacks, I would just have to bite the bull like if half the quarterback board is gone, I think I would bite the bullet and go with Caleb Williams here. But I do think a mecca, a buka might be a little bit more of a value, but that said, it's just going to depend what the overall league does for me. What about you, Luke? That's exactly where I'm at because to the eye, I say, oh, yeah, I can buka for a ninth, but when you consider super flex, okay, if people are really white knuckling their quarterbacks here and don't want to let them go, yeah, at some point you just have to bite the bullet and say it's worth keeping Caleb Williams to keep to stay competitive in that department with my lean mates and not fall behind there either. So yeah, I think I signed with you not knowing how the quarterbacks are exactly available in this league. Okay. All right. Well, good stuff there. Guys, thank you so much for all the questions today. We really appreciate you chiming in. It's been a great last four 45 or so minutes. We had a fantastic time last night on the fancy pros, fancy fest with you as well as everything else we've had going on with the content. We'll get one more in here. We got a couple more minutes. So if you guys have any final questions, put them in here. Hennians though asking, hey, fancy pros, just curious if there are any first or second-round running backs who have secure handcuffs. So similar conversation. Let's just go down the list. Beige on Robinson. I mean, Brian Robinson, can we say that with, you know, certain details? Just make sure you draft the right one right away, yes. Yep. Jimmy Eargibs, Isaiah Pecheco. Yep. Hands down. Christian McCaffer. I would say would not. No, he doesn't have a clear one. I have a preference of Jordan James, but again, he's been injured all preseason. So not a clear one. What about James Cook? Because it always feels like Ray Davis will get the early down work, but Ty Johnson definitely going to be involved there, too. Yeah, I always, I have a soft spot for Ray Davis because I do think he's probably the first man up, but you can't just count Ty Johnson as well, who's, I mean, in that case, he's going to be the one catching passes, probably not Ray Davis. Safe one. Barkley, I would say, Oh, Mary and definitely not. You can kind of pick between Vidal and Keaton Mitchell, Safe one. I think you'd go after the tank, right? Yeah. You have some really positive reports. I've got a lot of clicks in him in basketball draft. So yes, I, yes. Tank Bixby. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then let's see. Chase Brown. He Ryan's probably up next, but I wouldn't say it's a clear handcuff. No. A Chan, like Ollie Gordon's probably, but I don't even, I can't say that because we all the right. He gets some steam. Yeah. So JT, I think it's Seth McGowan is what we're kind of hearing out of him. And then I would say Kenneth Walker. It's probably, it's probably the rookie coming out of Nebraska there. So Emmett Johnson, Ashen Gentie is going to Mike Washington, Jr. Derek Henry. I don't think there's a clear one there either. No, because they're not going to roll out Justice Hill as they're in between the tackles guy. Yeah. He'll probably catch a handful of more passes, play a few more downs, but no, he is not going to die right here. A cuff to Derek Henry. And that's even Adam Randall's kind of like. Yeah. Right. He's a converted wide receiver. Running backs. Right. No clear one there. Marshall and Lloyd. Like I'd say, that's, that's where we'll kind of end it here. But Marshall and Lloyd for Josh Shakeups. He's more of a third round type of player at this point, even falling down boards a little bit further. Yeah. Yeah. I think that would be your handcuff there. TCB, we did get to your question. We don't hate the idea of taking Loveland or maybe we did miss this. I don't. Loveland and Warren and. It's, it is an auction draft. So. Yeah. Maybe I just read this in my head and never said it out loud. So Paul, Paul, he's there TCB, but I don't hate the idea of it, but I don't want to overpay for both those tight ends and be left with like scraps at wide receivers, because I think you need to compete there too. But you will put your legmates in an interesting spot where, you know, if they know they need a tight end this season, you're the first one they're calling. Yeah. Part of me loves bully tight end, but the other part of me is, man, you just get too hung and dry at the more important positions of wide receiver and running back. And I mean, those two are, they're going to cost a penny for both of them. So yeah, you might be getting scraps at the other positions, unfortunately. And you know, no one wants to be caught holding a Zimir white bag as there are B2, right? So that, that's the part that always scares me when you go aggressive strategies like that in auction. So where's kind of bag to have there? No, it really is. I don't speak from experience. Yes, absolutely.
