Fantasy Football - Head-to-Head Mock Draft! - Podcast for 8/13

In this episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast, hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Jay Grizz (filling in for an ill Mike) kick off by promoting the Ultimate Draft Kit giveaway, where listeners can win a UDK for life by purchasing the kit before August 24th, with a live stream drawing that day. The "Leader of the Pack" segment, sponsored by PetSmart, analyzes the Cleveland Browns' murky wide receiver situation, comparing rookie Denzel Boston and Casey Concepcion. After debate, Andy crowns Boston as the leader due to his outside role, touchdown upside, and strong camp, though both are considered late-round fliers in a potentially low-volume offense. News updates highlight Jordan Tyson's recurring hamstring issue, which raises his risk rating, Darren Waller's signing with the Panthers as a depth option, and ongoing investigations into Josh Jacobs and Puka Nacua's potential suspensions, though Rashee Rice is expected to avoid punishment. The hosts discuss draft adjustments, like moving Puka down slightly and considering Breece Hall over Jacobs. The main event is a 12-team full PPR mock draft, with Andy at #5 and Jason at #10. Andy builds a hero RB team with Christian McCaffrey, Drake London, Josh Allen, and George Kittle, while Jason pairs James Cook and Amari Hampton with Garrett Wilson and Devonta Adams, later adding Caleb Williams and Tyler Warren. Both emphasize upside and value, with late picks like Zachariah Branch and Aaron Jones. The episode concludes with a preview of tomorrow's tips episode and a playful critique of Jason's golf tracer video.

Unless one has an affinity for looking ridiculously foolish, it is wise not to stumble aimlessly into a fantasy football draft. The ultimate draft kit from the fantasy footballers contains all the information you need to avoid the jails of your enemies and to snuff out any glint of hope in their souls. Imagine the gasps those trouser-wearing turnips will emit as you make yet another triumphant draft selection. Imagine their tears forming a formidable puddle as you assemble an unstoppable force. The ultimate draft kit comes bursting at the seams with fantasy goodness. When you enter the draft room, you'll feel as if you were a monstrous beast let loose in a chicken coop. Head over to ultimatedraftkit.com today. Ah, welcome in! Thursday, August 13th. Maybe we'll have some good pre-season football today. Jason Morris here. I'm Andy Holloway, Jay Grizz in the house. I think we will. I think we will this year seems like a lot of teams are going to be playing their starters this week to Sean Watson getting that first go, which is why Mike is not here. He is ill. Is that why he got sick? Yeah, he heard that news and just he hasn't been able to stop vomiting. Maybe we were tired of all that trash talk yesterday on the show. Maybe we slipped a little something into his lunch? Yeah. Yeah. Maybe Jay Grizz wanted to do attention. Somebody wanted to do attention. That's the cardboard bear sitting in for Mike, Jay Grizz. So we have a head to head mock draft today. We're going to kick the Mayhem mock draft back a week. I'm sorry for those that we're looking forward to it, but we'll do a head to head mock draft. Jason V. Myself. Yeah, I can tell you I wasn't one of those looking forward to it. The Mayhem? The Mayhem is fun for everyone else except for me and Mike agree because we have to deal with the Mayhem, but we'll deal with that next week. Yeah. We got a lot going on. We got a segment today, leader of the pack. We'll get into. We do have the UDK for life giveaway going on right now, basically. The gist is this pick up the ultimate draft kit before Monday, August 24th. On Monday, August 24th, we'll be doing a live stream in the afternoon answering tons of fantasy questions for your draft and at the end of that, we'll give away a UDK for life. Andy signed Jamar chase Jersey. And for clarity, because I saw people asking if you had earlier this off season, if you got the UDK, you're automatically entered. You don't have to do it like just since this window has opened. If you're an ultimate foot clan member that comes with the UDK, you're already in there. So Monday, we will be pulling Monday, the 24th, we'll pull the winner for the UDK for the life. Yeah. And so if you're going to get it to get ready for your draft, do it now, ultimate draft kit dot com. Let's jump in, Jay, leader of the pack, presented by Pet Smart. Dooser's alley was rocking out like quite a bit to that drop right there. I saw some head banging last week on leader of the pack. We talked through the Packers wide receiver room situation. We're going to do our best to crown the leader of the pack, basically, who's going to win the fantasy relevant role on a certain team with a depth chart and a situation that's a little bit murky. This week is a challenge. This week, you talked about him to Sean Watson, Shadoor Sanders and whom else. It's the Browns wide receiver room, which there's a lot of them. Yeah. Sedric Tillman anybody. Oh, man, I do. He's getting cut. Yeah. For sure. This wide receiver room has been uninspiring for years. They did add two very talented rookie wideouts, Denzel Boston, KC conception, who is a favorite of many here in the studio. And you still have Jerry Judy as a piece of that offense. We know Harold Fanon is going to be a high percentage target share type of guy. But can we find value in the Browns wide receiver room? We've talked about Miami, right? It's hard to say that that is even a pack to have a leader of this is one where you do have talent. Yes. A lot of talent. Yeah. I mean, the issue for both of these teams is you don't expect great offensive play. You don't necessarily expect to have a ton of passing volume at the end of the year, like how many total team yard to ever the quarterback is, whether it's Shadoor, whether it's, you know, Dishon Watson or for Malik Willis in that case, but let's be honest, it's going to be multiples. Both situations, you're like, OK, you're hoping for 3300 yards on a great, like let's say Shadoor has a break out season turns into a real star, you know, 3600 yards. I mean, I think I think Todd Monkin brings us ceiling to the passing game a little bit. I think they are a team with the defense, taking a step backwards without Miles Garrett could be in a situation where these games are not like the games they won last year. What was it? Almost all one score games that they were in, even the ones they lost, these games are 19 to 14 and stuff like that. There's a chance you throw the ball a little bit more than the expectation, but who comes out on top? I mean, right now the way that the way that I'm reading it and I, we have not talked about no, so I don't know if you're going to come out on the same side as me. The player, I feel the most confident contributing to this offense right now is Denzel Boston. I like the talent of Casey Concepcion, but the way that the, like I think Denzel Boston will be a starter from day one. Concepcion should be as well, but my, my situation now is like I am leaning towards the big body receiver on the outside that's going to have the opportunity. What were these both? Concepcion was a late first. Boston was a second, second round pick, but I mean 39th overall, yeah, these were not a huge gap. These were two really high draft picks, they, you know, in, in my scouting, I had Concepcion as a first round talent and I had Boston as a second round talent. I, I like Boston. They were both above a 75 score in my Felix model. Concepcion was in the 80s, which is pretty darn good. I think the difference that you're saying between like a team like Miami and here is there is talent. This is now they've gone from last year, their talent was Jerry Judy, so they had none. Right. Who is part of this pack and honestly, we need to throw another name out. And that's Isaiah Bond, who's also been making noise. He was supposed to be a highly drafted, wide receiver last year, had some off field issues, went to the Browns and now this off season has been making noise. So between Concepcion, Boston, Jerry Judy, Isaiah Bond and Fanon, this could be, this is a very talented skill position group. I still lean that on the Concepcion side. I think that he is the most talented player, obviously the, the capital was there. He's dealt with a couple small injuries through camp. I don't blame you. If you want to take the Boston side, let me tell you the thought process. Can I guess it? Go ahead. Boston is the outside player. He was a touchdown mega threat in college. So when you look at the fantasy upside versus Concepcion, maybe falls into a slot roll and has lower value fantasy production. I pretty much, I would say that if you think the offense is not going to be a high volume offense, you want the most effective, efficient plays, Boston will have the higher yards per reception. And just to add to the second point about the slot receiver thing, I mean, Concepcion is a freak. He's twitchy. He will be competing for some of the short area targets that Fanon, I think, will dominate. I think that's the last piece of the puzzle. I think those are the two guys at the top of the packing order. And if you believe like the camp for Boston matters a lot to me. The camp for Concepcion matters a little bit less. Yeah. That's right. And so I like the way it's going in camp. I think the underdog would be Isaiah bond. Yeah. But my God. I'm very serious. Not a part of this. No. And how do you possibly like bond is made headlines before? He made them last year in the office season program. It was on my dynasty team. It didn't come to fruition when there wasn't a Boston or Concepcion or even Fanon getting snaps. It's just hard for me to see a path to the only players in the wide receiver room to take a shot on are the two wide receivers. And I don't blame you if you wanted to. Honestly, I was in a draft in a mock draft where I did take Denzel Boston over a Concepcion. Interesting. They are neck and neck to me and certainly the beat reporters are talking about Denzel Boston being just really dominating. And that's what you need. You need a rookie who surprises. You need a rookie who is like de plays who is just an awesome piece. And I do think that the majority of the games this year will be Shedor Sanders. That is kind of the more future play. I don't think this team has any wisdom in playing Dishon Watson. It's not good enough. to put them over the top and he's definitely not their future. So if Shador plays most of the games, he's going to focus on the rookies. You look at like Jerry Judy last year once Shador came in was on a 17 game pace of 500 yards. These are both great players to take at the very end of your draft. We're doing a mock draft today. You know, Kyle's talked about, you know, this is low risk, high reward, highly talented players. Concepts, she on is that twitchiness elite electric playmaker in space, dangerous with the ball on his hands. And then Boston's going to be the guy that high points it scores longer touchdowns, goal line threat, reliable hands. The drops with conception have been a, they've been an offseason problem. They were a collegiate problem. It's a problem you can overcome. Yeah. I mean, it's not a very predictive stat for fantasy points per game, but it is one of the knocks on him. You know, I think I've come around while I do prefer the talent of conception on what's happening for this team, the efficiency. I'm going to say that the leader of the pack here is Boston. We're going boss. However, I don't think either is a good pick. Oh, man, you know, I, we just got some more news. Well, we're about to talk news so we get to talk about that. But that was leader of the pack presented by Petsmart, visit your local Petsmart store or go to Petsmart.com. Today, Petsmart anything for pets news and notes from around the league. Well, this just sucks, guys. Jordan, Tyson left practice early. Okay. All right. Whatever. You know, a lot of people leave practice early. Was it, was it a groin J? Was it a toe? Was it? Oh, you heard his shoulder. Oh, no, no, it was the worst possible thing that you could have heard. It's the hamstring. So that's been a huge players have hamstring issues, ho hum. But he had a hamstring issue that was potentially hurting his draft stock couldn't participate in a lot of offices. He is the ham king. He then he dealt with it last year. He then started this off season program, not participating because of the hamstring took the time. You know, you got to take the time and he took it. And now for a hamstring to be a problem, it is. So you don't know this handy negative. I okay. You don't know this. So we have a board where that you have no hamstrings. Oh, that okay. You do know, but you want to know something else you are unaware of? We have a board in our shared office, me, you and Mike, where we write names and potential names for my guys. Yeah. The my guys season is here and and the rule around the office is if the name is up by your name, nobody else can claim that player, but it's it's a handful of names each. I finalists. I have two locked and I erased a couple this morning and I'm consolidating. I'm getting very close. And this morning, when we finish the show, you can go walk in there and you could see one. I've got four total names on there and one of them is Jordan Tyson. Oh, so because I erased it yesterday, wrote him on there this morning. No, I didn't even know you had him. Oh, he was on my list and I raised him yesterday. This is a player who is truly an elite wide receiver. I'm all in on believing in the talent. He was our number one. So anything negative we say he was our number one Jason and I's number one scouted wide receiver. Yes. Right. And Mike as well. All three of us ahead of car and I'll take Nick Underhill, one of my favorite beat reporters covers the Saints. I was told this isn't super serious, but obviously less than ideal. Yeah, exactly how I feel about it. I can tell you who's not going to be a my guy. I mean, with the reoccurring hamstring, my you want to have your my guy not play the first four weeks because week one, he pulls something. Yeah, I promised you in the U.D.K. You will see an arrow appear next to Jordan Tyson's name later today and it will be a down arrow because his risk rating is going to go up. This having a re-aggravation of such a longstanding issue says, Hey, I'm still willing to draft him, but you got to know that there is a higher risk profile here. That sucks, man. It's not great. So we're going to monitor that. The Panthers, they signed. Al, I'm giving you a second here. The Panthers signed tight in Darren Waller. Go, go, go, go, go. I the Panthers. I won your contract. He's still just 33 years old, caught six touchdowns last year. Look good doing it. So this is an upgrade for Bryce Young, right? Uh, you didn't sound like you agreed. So a couple of things here. Uh, the Tavion Sanders, I really like Darren Waller is better. Darren Waller was actually good last year in the games he played, which is, you know, a little surprising for his age. Um, I will say that in a dynasty league, he's probably on your waivers and he should be picked up. I don't expect big things here, but when you're streaming off of your bench in a dynasty league, it's nice to have an option in a certain matchup. So, uh, go, go peek at your waivers and make sure he is, um, out there. I mean, what did he have six touchdowns? Six touchdowns last year in like minimal games. Yeah. On a, where two at three for 3200 yards. He in rap report reporting that Rashi Rice is not expected to be suspended for violating his probation. That's good news, especially coming out right after the fact that it's TBD on Josh Jacobs and Puka Nakua that they still are being investigated for this. I think the people out there need to know what you would do if you're draftless tomorrow with Puka Nakua and Josh Jacobs, because we're getting to the point where the conversation is no longer, well, I'll pay attention a month from now. It's now like you might draft today. You might draft next week. You might. So if that's in the back of your mind, like Puka is my number one wide receiver, right? And I would imagine right now you, would you draft Puka over Jamar Chase today? No, I wouldn't. Yeah, because it, but how far down would you move your number one wide receiver in Puka? Would you say because of potential risk for a suspension, I'm willing to take those next two guys? Would you take JSN or Amman Raw over Puka if your draft was today? No. I don't think I would either. I, what's funny is I'm looking at my UDK numbers and the risk rating is going to come up for Puka because of this and did go up. I took a game away from Puka and he's still statistically higher than Chase for me. He is, he is really, he's him and Chase to me or a tier above. I don't mind if you put all either JSN or JSN and Amman Raw on that tier, but I'm going to take two games away. I, that puts him at three for me. That means that Chase and JSN would be picked for me. So you would, you would pick, you, I know you said JSN and Amman Raw, but right in between those. Yeah. Okay. I would go, I would take the, I'd take JSN right today. If we get word, that Puka is not going to get suspended. He goes right back to number one. And Jacobs, let me ask you a couple of questions here. By the way, Puka and Jacobs with the suspensions and that could happen. Probably not. Both have groin injuries. Maybe they're just faking it. Get some sympathy from the NFL. Hey, God, I might miss you. Oh, let's teach him the butterflies. Yeah. Seriously. Um, so right now, Josh Jacobs is going behind Henry and love in ahead of Kyron Williams and Breeze Hall. Would you still draft Jacobs ahead of Kyron and ahead of Breeze Hall? Would you flip there? I might take Bree, you know how high you are. I might take Breeze ahead of him today. Um, and I might take Kyron ahead of him today just so you feel like I picked Kyron once. Yeah. Um, yeah. For the record as of this moment, I do not believe that either will be suspended. It's, it's seen the conversations are ongoing and it's something we need to be aware of. But I just don't like it in the back of my mind. Yeah. I'd put it on likely. Amecha Buka left yesterday's practice with the toe injury considered minor. That was the update. I think we had the Buka News yesterday, but not the severity or the type of injury. Yeah. They said it was a minor toe injury. So I have to imagine it's the pinky. I was going there. I was going there. What do you even call the one next to the pinky? That one's the real ring finger. The ring toe. The ring toe. Whoa. The ship. Hmm. Yeah. The ring toe. I so that's the ring toe is that I just feel like that one's really I'd be like that one could go and no one would notice. Like if you did the Thanos snap and everybody lost that toe. Yeah. The life goes on perfectly normal. Did you need your ring toe? No. Absolutely not. That's just a that one's on the way out. It's a luxury toe. It's a luxury toe. That's what they call it. That is it. Or as you'd say, a luxury finger. Dave Canellis said Chuba Hubbard is weak to weak with a hamstring injury. Oh, no. Jonathan Brooks. He's already. He's already like to do to do. Let me go and look at my rank. John and Brooks has already overtaken Chuba in most drafts that I've seen, which I understand the excitement of the upside, but he is the he is clearly currently the backup. And it's it's tough. I don't know about that. You think he starts the season. I think so. Okay. Well, if that's the case, then Chuba is just he is the he is the Ramandre to the travion. He is the like tried and true thumper, but he doesn't have the skill set. We saw this last year with Rico already. If a player comes out and shows explosiveness in the solvents, you're never going to see that from Chuba. Ever. So if Rico can win the job, JB can win the job. And I'll say this, I've lowered the risk rating for JB a little bit. Yeah, I mean, he's, he's healthy right now and, and he is going to play football in preseason week one on Saturday. I will be holding my breath. That will move. Yeah, that could move the ADP even higher if he looks good. Actually, it will. I mean, if he looks, if he has an explosive play, that's going to skyrocket with the hamstring injury. So we'll take a break. We've got a mock draft coming up. We'll talk to you in a second and man, Jason, you're going to draft it 10. I've had to head mock randomly decided we had a question yesterday of like, where you want to? Where's the worst spot in the draft? And I basically said 10. And then the team here. Thank you guys. All right. We'll be right back. All right, I'm excited head to head mock draft here. We did not give Jay Grizzaspot. He will weigh in with probably Indiana bears related. Oh, my gosh, it commentary that so that is coming soon that maybe today, the announcement, there is a zero percent chance through the Indiana bears. You put it at zero, zero. I have it. I have it. I want this to be a sound clip when it goes, I want, when I see the new logo and you can clip that piece Falcon and just drop the new logo over top of it becomes the Indiana bears. I, I, oh brother, that feels, that feels disgusting. I don't think so, but that was making all the rounds yesterday. And I know every bear's fans probably became the Indiana Cardinals. No problem. What? Take them. Yeah. They're yours. But like, and you should be able to trade teams even when, oh, that'd be great. Even when like the bears weren't good for a long stretch, they're still like, they're the Chicago bears. They're the Chicago bears. They're not changing. This is all. Some sort of blustery thing. We'll figure it out of Chicago. Oh, yeah. And then when we talk about Indy, it would be two different teams. Oh, no, don't do that. Indiana Indianapolis. Yeah. That's, yeah, I can't see it happening, but there's a sound clip for you. The fantasy footballers mock draft. All right, like I said, the mayhem draft kicked back to next week. Today we're doing a 12 team full PPR, one quarterback, two running back, two wide receiver, one tight end, one flex, two four bench spots. I have been randomly assigned the five spot in the draft. Jason is at the 10 spot and we have our writers and producers and staff drafting lives. So we will kick it off right here right now. And I'm glad that the way this draft started pushed didn't come to shove on the Puka question. You just asked, yeah, Jameer Gibbs, Beeson Robinson, go one and two, even in the full PPR, Jamar Chase and Puka Nakua go next. I'm on the clock at 105. I still have a decision to make here. We had our top 10 running back show yesterday. If you didn't listen, you can go back and listen to that episode, counting it down. Talked a lot about Christian McCaffrey and here he is, I mean, a full PPR, remember what you're getting with Christian McCaffrey. Yeah. You're getting a receiver and a running back in one. Jason sitting here, it's going to say full PPR for Jason, that you made either. And I'm on raw, obviously, but I'm going to pull the trigger here. It's rare. I've had an opportunity in any mock. I will take the Christian McCaffrey opportunity here at 105 and a full PPR. I think I like the pass catchers, the ride receivers coming around in round two more than I do the running backs with pass catching potential. And I think somebody like Chase Brown who will catch a lot of passes will probably be gone. So I'll go CMC here to start off our 12 team PPR mock draft. I'm on raw St. Brown goes next. Great pick. Jonathan Taylor, JSN going at 108 in a full PPR is a little interesting CD lamb going next in Jason. You're at that beautiful spot where by ADP just so yesterday when we were asked, what is the worst spot to draft? Jason gave a real number. Yeah. 10. I didn't. I said it's wherever you're tempted to draft Justin Jefferson. Yeah. 10 which that's that's why Jefferson is the next name to come off the board. So I think I agree with you on 10. Tell me the thought process here. You've got a chance catching a lot of passes. I know what I'm going to do here. That's good. I was I was pretty sad to see CD lamb get taken by cash money right ahead of me. Most of the time I think James Cook goes ahead or or people might even be putting Justin Jefferson there in a full PPR. I would very much prefer to have CD lamb. I think he's the the last of a tier one of wide receivers. I'm going to end up high T here. I'm I'm very confident of that. This is the first time I've been able to draft James Cook put a little respect on his name. He is an awesome top tier running back for a great team who is projected to score 10 plus touchdowns. And I think he'll be more involved in the passing him this year than he has been. Did you happen to see his comments to our good friend of the show Matt Harman yesterday? I did not. Harman basically said, are we going to see you involved more in the passing game? That's an area of your game that can grow. And he basically said the equivalent of almost nothing. And it was to be continued stay tuned like insinuating things have been built out for him more in the passing game. It's what you said yesterday. I love that pick there. I love it because I think you're going to come back around to a better choice or for more flexibility. Maybe with your choice in the second round. Jefferson goes at 11. I mean, should be a great PPR pick. Should be it be is a great wide receiver. Devon H and an action gentie these three running back great pass catchers and then chase brown next. Yes. Chase Brown. I wanted one of those guys from the fact that it was a full PPR that that's just fantastic. I'm left now with a choice between do I get my first wide receiver who would be either Drake London or AJ Brown. And for me, I would rather have AJ Brown than Drake London quarterback play changes. We talked about how Justin Jefferson and Drake London great wide receivers team environment quarterback play could allow them to disappoint for this early in the draft. I'm going to take a guy that I keeping in the drum for I know that the, you know, the the troll comments from McDaniel coming out saying like, oh, we're going to use all three backs. I believe in Omari and Hampton. I think he will be a three down back and be very involved in catching the ball the way that H and was from McDaniel last year. And I want to piece of that off it. So I'm going to start high T James Cook, Omari and Hampton. In a full PPR, I'm going to have to build my wide receivers later in the draft. I think this has been a really interesting draft already with names that like, I don't think in any mock we've had seen. I've had CMC. You've had Cook or Hampton. Maybe you have, but Cook and Hampton, I don't blame you there. My worry about the past catching is Keaton Mitchell's involvement, but it's like that could be design place for Keaton Mitchell and not so much. Keaton Mitchell will be natural drop, you know, the check downs. Yeah. I think he'll be, I think Keaton will be used in the slot and used in motion and used more as a gadget player. Well, I think the streak of players we haven't had in Mox that are going to end up on our team may continue here. We see Bowers, Barclay McBride after your Hampton pick and then Ken Bone Walker, who might have been a little bit tantalizing and tumping there for me. At running back at this juncture, you have, you know, Jeremiah loves a past catching talent. It's interesting here Henry and Jacobs. We'll see. We've talked about Jacobs. I'm going to take Drake London. I'm going to take Drake London this late, uh, he's fallen at 208 in a full PPR. You can say it's a bad environment, but Jefferson in a bad environment has failed London in a bad environment has not failed yet. So at least Jefferson was a first round pick at the 111. You're at the, you know, mid to back of the second. So, yeah. So I'll, I'll take it because it, and it looks like it started a run of whiteouts because London goes to me. Then it's AJ Brown Pickens, Nico and Olave Olave is an interesting name to bring up. Just if, like, if we do face the hamstring hamstrung situation, we know what Olave can do with the high target share Jeremiah love with the first pick of the third round neighbors could have been an interesting thought. I would have loved him to slip through, but he didn't breathe all Derek Henry puts me back on the clock. CMC and London is the start. Um, I will say right now, the, the number one wide receivers or the, the two names, I think that I'm interested in Garrett Wilson, always a PPR monster, Lad McConkey, interesting as well. Jacobs is there, Kyron Bucky, Javante, H and junior, Trevo, looking to quarterbacks. It's where you start to think a little bit. I mean, middle of the third, Josh Allen, do I like what that does to my team more than Garrett Wilson? Do you think about Colson Loveland here in a, in a full PPR third round? I should, but I'm not. Okay. So I'm going to, I'm going to take Josh Allen. I'm going to make the pick. Um, I, I'm looking up and down the wide receiver room in a full PPR. There's a ton of names that I know are coming back to me. I think it's going to be a difference maker for my team versus looking quarterback in the fourth or fifth. So I'm going to pull the trigger on the automatic and take Josh Allen, hero quarterback, hero running back. Drake London is my wide receiver one. I feel good. Higgins, rice, Javante, Kyron, Jason, you are on the clock. You got two running backs. You are high T. far. I am high tea. I want to go like super high tea and pick up Josh Jacobs right here still sitting there in three 10. I mean, at three 10, it's, it's not a bad value, but I don't necessarily think that that's the way to go when there are other good wide receivers on my team and my team needs them. You know, I'm sitting here looking at Teterola McMillan, who I love, Garrett Wilson, who I love Davante Smith, who I love. They're, they're all good options at wide receiver. But in a full PPR, my rankings have Garrett Wilson in the lead there. I think that he's going to do what he has always done, which is consume all of the targets. And I can't stop finding him as a value because he is a guy that I can easily see finishing as a back in wide receiver one who's almost always taken, you know, after, after 50, yeah, after 15 wide receivers. So I'm not sure which what number wide receiver he was just here. Kyle, you can add it up for me. Um, but it's, he's certainly not in the top 12 14 14 before him, uh, 13 before him. He was 14 off the board. I think that is a great pick. It was the one name I was thinking about versus Josh Allen. And you and I both have him ranked above ADP. I love it. Davante Smith, tat McMillan, Abuka going next. Jacob's finally goes off the board at 402. Okay. That's great. I mean, going behind Davante is interesting when you have Javante's past catching prowess in a PPR versus Jacobs, you know, he's going to be a 50 plus catches. That's, that's a good value. Jason, you're back on the clock, a little bit of a head shake. I'm not sure. No, I'm just looking at everybody. There's a lot of different options. I can take my pick of the, of the second year Titans, Tyler Warren and Colson Loveland, um, full PPR. They could end up dominating taking that, you know, jump into tier one. Uh, but I'm going to take a wide receiver that I know early in the off season. I think we maybe as a show definitely myself, Mike, I think even you were a little lower, a little bit more concerned on it. As time has gone on, he's just, he's so good. He's so good. And I know you're squinted because you don't want me to take him. You don't want me to take lad. Right? Yeah. Yeah. And I want to take lad. And then I just know I'm seeing that would put lad in Hampton. I love. Oh, yeah. I, I, he won't make it to me now that this has been discussed, but he probably won't. That's okay. That's going to tie break it for me. I'm not going to take lad. I am going to take Tyler Warren ahead of Colson Loveland and a full PPR. I'm confident that Warren is above 140 targets this year. Now you took him over Loveland. Correct. Yeah. I think Loveland might have the ceiling, but in a full PPR, I am extremely confident that the number one target for that. Like the number one target for the Bears, it very well might be Loveland, but it could also be Lutherburden, which that's what the news recently has been that he's been the first target. It could also be Rome who win the three of them were on the field together was the leading target. I don't see Alec Pierce being the leading target. I don't see Josh Downes being better than Warren Warren is going to be the engine in the, in the receiving room. All right. We'll catch you up a little bit here. They flat or Lad Maconkey does go next. I'm not surprising after that discussion. Uh, that was the, the pie in the sky dream when I took Josh Allen is that lad comes back to me. I love him. They flowers, Jalen Waddle. Loveland go net goes next. I know with Luther Burden at 408. That's what I pulled the trigger on him. I love that value. I think that's great. Um, that is the, what is he? The wide receiver 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21. I'm getting Luther Burden at wide receiver 21 value and a PPR. You just talked about the offense. I feel fine about that. Sure. That means Loveland and Burden are gone back to back. Bucky scat. Jamison and Lamar off the board to finish the fourth round. Carnell Tate at 501. Love that pick. Judd can swift tooton off the board brings it back to me. Running backs have thinned, especially when you look at PPR upside. Trevo is interesting here. I need another running back. Monty. He can catch the football. He is also projected to score the double digit touchdowns or one of the better odd running backs to do it. Uh-huh. H. N. Jr. in uh New Orleans. Giderian price. Also on the board. Um. At wide receiver, you're sitting right now with London and Luther Burden two Irish viewers. Hero RB with Christian McCaffrey. You've got your ones. You have Josh Allen in. Yeah. I think, um, man, tell me how you would think through the Trevo versus Monty decision. Yeah. I mean, it really is a team makeup decision. Now, I think that Trevo has the higher upside, the potential to be a breakout player versus David Montgomery. But David Montgomery is the three down back. You will have the touchdown upside. And the fact that this is your running back two. I think I like Trevo as running back three. As my running back two, you might need more solid reliability versus there. I have a backup. I've got CMC. If he plays. Well, that's going to undo my team quickly if he doesn't. I agree. And I think the conversation around H. N. Jr. has been really negative. But this was a guy they paid a ton of money. I thought I think that was going to be your pick was H. N. Jr. I might be. I'm really between those three. And then I like to want the atoms here. But there's other white outs. I like later. So I think I'm going to do that. I think I'm going to take the guaranteed. I think there's upside and guarantee with H. N. Maybe that means you end up getting Trevion. Maybe that was part of your plan. No, it wasn't. I mean, I might end up, but that was not part of my plan. I, you know, looking at my team, I've got one wide receiver. No, I've got one wide receiver. I think Henderson went before me, but had he been on the clock, I would not have taken him here over some of these wide receivers that I like on the board. All right. Terry McClaren, David Montgomery, DJ Moore, and Trevo does go right before your pick, but I looking at your makeup, it makes sense that you wouldn't have probably gone there. I love that I can't really give any advice without it. I feel like, yeah, that's your, that's your fault. Yeah, for sure. It's called learning Christ from the past. But I, maybe if I'm trying to convince you of something, I've got to just come out and say the opposite of what you think I'm going to say, which is the opposite. I think we're going to get into a real pickle for the rest of our lives as friends. If you do that, I'll go, I went H and you're on the clock. I'll give you a second to think about it. We'll take a quick break and be right back. All right, Jason James Cook, I'm Ryan Hampton, Garrett Wilson, Tyler Warren, full PPR mock from the 10 spot. You're on the clock. All right. So I am looking at my wide receiver two here. There's not a quarterback. I think that is a tear above enough to take here a second one Z. I already took Tyler Warren. So it's running back and wide receiver, but at the running back position, there's nobody as important to my roster as there is at wide receiver. Now, my wide receiver is my second one, very similar to what you were when you had Christian McCaffer and you're trying to decide to it, to take the like the high upside shot at Henderson, but maybe you need more reliability. That's where I am at wide receiver. Like I want to take Jordan Tyson, despite the hamstring and zero red receiver two in a PPR. Exactly. I just don't think I can do that. There's a handful of guys here that I really like. Christian Watson is obviously awesome. But again, that's another big risk. He's he's missed the games every year of his career. I'm going to take old faithful. I'm going to take the Vante Adams. A great offense. A goal line machine. You know, his separation last year was still good. And so, you know, maybe he falls off, but he didn't last year. I have no problem with it. I think we've been pretty in sync, actually, because I think the last I think the Wilson and the Adams pick were the last the other names that are right there when I was on the board. Jadarian price. That'll be an interesting pit goes 511. Tyson does go out 512. And then we see a couple, I mean, a blessing to you at the quick turn. Two onesies go off the board. Drake made Jayden Daniels back to back. So you're you're sitting there. You've got a onesie. You got two running backs, two wide receivers in a tight end. And you're back on the clock. Quick turn. I think I'm really confident in my James Cook, Amari and Hampton start. So Garrett Wilson and Devonta Adams could use some help. I love Mike Evans, but his hamstring hates him. Evans. Adams combo is hilarious to all this guys. And I would draft. I would never do it for that reason. Christian Watson. I know big fan of him on the show. Mike is in love with him. I'm going to stick to my guns that I have had for a while. A player that a lot of people just out on they just don't think he's any good. They think he's the third best receiver on his team. But he was a top-timbed draft pick. He was leading the team in receptions before he got injured last year. This is all a Rome, a dunes. This is a Rome, a dunes. I still believe in Rome, a dunes. I believe in Rome too. And at this point in the sixth round to get a year, three player who was clearly breaking out before he got injured last year. I'm in. I love it. Rome, Parker Washington, Jaylon Warren, Ramondra. I had my hopes on one player. When I took a chant, I was like, one guy, I helped make it all the way back around. And the three quarterbacks going off the board helped it happen. My team is perfect for my game. Okay. I love having you on board with a draft. I told you we're kind of in sync today. London, burden, Evans. I feel outstanding about with Alan and CX. You've got explosive high upside there, a little bit of risk, but yeah. Like Devonte went at 510, I get Evans at 608 and I look at them very similarly in production. Watson, huge craft. Craft off the board here, ahead of Kittle, craft off the board, ahead of Fanon. And I don't blame anyone for it. Johnson, craft, BTJ, Marv, Cortland Sutton, 702 as we cruise along here. Jalen hurts at 703, Jason. That is the cheapest Jalen hurts you've ever had. That is an awesome pick. I mean, for Hurtz falling to the sixth, which is where he usually is. And most drafts, I think, is a great value where even if he doesn't go back to the 15 rushing touchdowns with the push of the last several years prior to last year, which he could is still a good value in the sixth. Getting him in the seventh is great. Dobbins, Mike isn't here to applaud that one at 704. I am taking back to back 49ers, Jason. Oh. I don't believe the current ADP is going to be reflective of the ADP, either in this room amongst all of our writing staff and this group, you got to pull the trigger sometimes ahead of where the ADP has a guy. I'm taking George Kittle. I'm going to take George Kittle. I like what I've seen so far. I feel like, you know, you're such a big Brock party fan. Is there offense? I think Brock Kittle. I am all San Francisco. Yes. I was all in on SF. I was literally going to say, now before you take that pick, I want to make sure you know, yeah, I've got, but then I saw that you took the pick. Yeah. I took the pick. I'm aware. I better get Brock party at this point. Well, yeah. I mean, I don't know. Oh, no, you've got Josh Allen. I forgot about that. But yeah, Christian McCaffrey, Mike Evans and George Kittle, I do, I will say this. I think their offense, like usual, is going to be very good and score a ton of points. So this could be a consolidated offense into those three weapons. It's dangerous. And should the Niners have a bad day, so will you the substation, a dangerous substation. Jonathan Brooks, Michael Wilson, Alec Pierce, Justin Herbert and Jason Moore is on the clock. Seventh round. I am on the clock. I'm going to do something I haven't done. Well, I'm not going to do it with this pick. I'm going to grab Caleb on the way back. Two pot. Caleb Williams. Oh, man. Hmm. That was rude. That was rude. I had several two puts. You did. You did. But I have you three put that. I mean, you understand the position I was put in. So such a great joke. Because I took Roma Dunes, and we're here later in the draft, I like the idea of getting the high upside explosiveness of Caleb Williams. Are you stacking? I am going to stack. The two people before me at the turn, they just drafted quarterbacks last pick. So I know they're not going to grab Caleb Williams. Now I'm sitting here with still just James Cook and Amari in Hampton, which feels dicey. But the running backs on the board, the running backs I want are insurance backs. They're Blake Chorum. They're Kyle Menungai, a really high upside, but not guys that I'm going to be starting and they shouldn't be drafted in the seventh round or even the eighth round. So I'm going to bypass on them. I'm going to look at the wide receiver position. And here in the seventh, I'm going to take this has been a really fun mock draft because I feel like I'm grabbing guys that I haven't necessarily taken before to give them a little bit more respect. But the gap between Ebuca and Chris Godwin in ADP I think is wider than it will be in real life. Godwin has a mind meld with Baker and getting him at the, you know, near the seventh, eight turn. I'm down with that. We talked yesterday about Godwin or a couple days ago, the place for Godwin especially is a full peep early. I mean, I think it's a great pick. Fanon Menungai, Dowdell and Josh Downs, Jason pulls the trigger now with Caleb Williams. How do you feel about that? Jay? I'm happy that I got your stack Caleb Williams and Roman Dunes. Yep. I've got burden too, Jay. Don't get mad at me. Yeah. We're going for it. The other comments from the head coach, they want to break the scoring record, which I know that all the other coaches have no interest in scoring. No, you know what? That's actually true. That is actually true. They do not have interest in that. And I'm not joking. I love, I was talking to Mike. You weren't there about Ben Johnson and the quote. I love Ben Johnson so much. Here's his quote, I want to be, I want to have the highest scoring offense ever, which happens to be the 2013 Denver Broncos. I know how many points per game they scored, 37.9 and I want to surpass them. I want shutouts. I want blowouts. This dude is a dog and he is going to put his throat on the, his foot on the throat of his opponent and he is going to press down hard if he can. And I think he can, but he's in the period of his life as a coach where he is making a name for himself. It is a funny thing to watch, fantasy purposes. It's fantastic. This is not a coach that's going to try to just get the easy W's, you know, when you have the 2007 Patriots that were scoring 40 points a game, you won championships. And so I don't know if they can, but, but certainly they're going to try to just keep running it up and not just like get out of there with an easy W. They want to destroy people. I love it. Um, yeah. He's setting himself up to need to succeed with the ripping the shirt off and all the behaviors. It's fun. It's been Johnson. I'm falling further and further in love with that man. Um, where did we leave off? I followed Mason, dark and corp. There was a, uh, play a practice the other day where he tells all of his players never reach for the pile on. Never reach for the pile unless it's fourth down or two point conversion. That isn't a hard and fast rule and, and I think it was one of their rookie wide receivers reach for the pile on. And so in their meeting, he had AI, uh, recreate that page where the player was flipping off the camera and, oh, yeah, he's just like teaching lessons. Oh my god. I love it, man. All right. I'm on the clock here. Um, yeah. You, you ask yourself, what's the price that you'd pay? For DK McCaff in a draft and I'll say the 8th pick of the 8th round. I'll take DK McCaff, uh, I think in a peepie heart league adding that depth in the 8th round is crazy. Yeah. I mean, you know Jalen McMillan was still available, right? Or Jerry McMillan. Yeah. Jerry Judy. Oh, or DK McCaff. Yeah. JCM. It's Corey Croskey. Marit Laporta. Gainwell Harvey. Poor Jason. You can't have a second tight end that same Laporta. Hmm. No pits, Jacobi Myers and one Dale going next, um, we have, yeah, my, my team has got two running backs right now. And that's the, that's an okay spot here where it's between for me at running back, we're shot white and Chuba Hubbard. Maybe you could say Aaron Jones as well in that conversation. Um, Chuba's not sexy, but I'll take him as a third guaranteed to be out there. So I'll take him at the 905, only two picks left in the draft. Jaden Reed goes next at 906. How do you feel about your team so far with three rounds left? We, we both have our ones, he's failed. It's kind of luxury at this. Yeah. I love my team as a whole. I think the upside with, um, in a full PPR, Garrett Wilson, Devonta Adams, Roma, Dunes, a Chris Godwin is great. My starting running backs of Cook and Hampton are awesome. And then Warren and Caleb Williams, huge upside. My big struggle here with how this roster has been built is I don't have a lot of depth at running back. And there's not a lot of depth at running back left to grab right now. Um, I was pretty upset just a second ago, because usually when I see Aaron Jones in ADP on the board, I go, great. Now I can take Jordan Mason, but Jordan Mason Brooks wisely took, um, uh, around to go. Well ahead. Yeah. Go in my opinion, I will take Aaron Jones, um, sometimes these, these, uh, backfields that you don't know who it's going to be. You take the shot on who you think it is. But both players are worthy draft picks late in a, in a, in a, in a draft, because there will be fantasy points on good offenses. We, Mike's talked about this for years, like you take whatever offense you think is going to be good that you don't know who the guy's going to be. That's those late picks, you know, take shots on those type of guys. All right, well, uh, Jason with Aaron Jones, golden dobs, Denzel Boston, we talked about him. Jonah Coleman in two picks left, Jason, we're in the 10th. Well, again, it's very similar to the last one. I would have preferred to take Bill and Jordan Mason. I'm going to end up with Aaron Jones and Rashad White, uh, but it's the same thing where you don't know who it's going to be for sure. Also in a full PPR, Rashad White's past catching skills could easily, uh, in a full PPR, you can make an argument for both Aaron Jones and Rashad White over the other guys just because they're the past catchers. Okay. Well, um, I'm back on the clock here. I will tell you my mindset here with two picks left. I do want to. to grab another tight end. I wouldn't normally do it, but George Kittle is the one exception to that rule. The teams passed me in this draft. There's only one that doesn't have a tight end. Dude, you and so you've got there's a clear player you got to take here at tight end. Yeah. Well, you're going to say don't can kid. Yeah, you got Josh Allen. You you stack. I mean, the breakout potential. So the two names that I know. I know you're the other option. Dallas got it. Well, okay, three names. Okay. I'll tell you. Isaiah likely as well. It is a player that I think they're all worthy shots. They really are. But maybe maybe you can persuade me to take pull the trigger now and not wait just because of the Josh Allen stack. So I'll take Kincaid. I think that's a good thing. I don't think you had any secret advantage. No, telling me that. I'm not looking to take a second tight end. Trevor Lawrence goes next. Stribbling who? Stribbling. That's a great. You know, I couldn't take him. You were all out of Niners. I was all out of Niners. You could only have certain amount of roster spots from one team and the system wouldn't let you take him. Yeah, my if you want to name my team, just name it team, electrical substation. Lawrence, Stribbling, Purdy off the board that puts Kyle here on the clock at the turn at the 10 11 turn as he tries to figure out these two very important picks. But ultimately at the five, I would say I feel pretty satisfied with my roster. I feel like this one has come together better than some of our previous mock drafts. But a concept shion and Pacheco go next. Gadsden at 11.02. Getting ready to make the final selection here in the mock. You got Brian Robinson off the board. Isaiah likely does go at 11.04. Pertneter to tight end. So at this point, it's a luxury pick. Do I always like going upside here? You know, Jacobi Lane is a name in Baltimore. Sure. Rookie that's been flashing. Zachary branch is a name. I love taking a shot early on him. He's perfect because you'll know week one. What his role is or what he can do against NFL defenders. I think he either breaks out or is, you know, like you just got him. And then the most boring, but I want to just mention his name because in a PPR in the final round, it is a worthy name. Khalil Shakir. He's going to catch a ton of passes. They will not be high value targets, but much like a Josh Downs in years past, like in a full PPR Shakir is worth a thought. Do you consider Jalen Coker? I know there's a lot of people who just love the talent of Jalen Coker. I think he's awesome. But I think the addition of Waller and then TEP being the number one and then the 3000 passing yard stuff just kind of gets me uncomfortable. Yeah. Makes sense. So I would Jacobi Lane. So Addison, another great pick there. Jennings, Strange, Bigsby, Mike, or Jason. You have one final pick. Tank, Bigsby is such a great pick this late. I think that's one of those type of league winners him and why can't I think of Karen's backup? Blake Corm. Yeah. Blake Corm. Those two guys are amazing. So I'm sitting here between Coker and Zachariah Branch. I'm going to pull the trigger on the rookie. He is an electric jitterbug and, you know, the fact that you've got Drake London pits and they really don't have anybody else. He should find his way week one on the field. So now the question is just what he did in college where guys couldn't catch him. Does it work in NFL? If it does, he should be great for fantasy probably doesn't in which case you just kind of move on. All right. We are wrapping up our head dead mock draft. I have CMC Travis H and Junior and Chuba running back. I got Drake London Lutherburden, Mike Evans, DK Matt Kaffin, Jacobi Lena, Whiteout. We if Josh Allen, the number one quarterback off the board and the third to me with Kittle and then King Cade to ensure him. I feel pretty good. Yeah. No, I don't I don't mind that team other than the San Francisco trifecta is it could be a good backfire. I have no idea how my team. I've got Caleb Williams at the top with Tyler Warren at my onesies. My running backs are James Cook, Maureen Hampton, Aaron Jones and Rashad White and at wide receiver full PPR Garrett Wilson, Devonte Adams, Roma Dunes, a Chris Godwin and Zachariah branch. All right. That is going to do it for the mock draft. If you want to watch it and see all the picks, see all the players on the board. You can do so youtube.com/deafantasyfootballer subscribe, click the bell.

He's the first guy to do this tracer thing. So he's figuring out he's breaking ground here. Um, but Jason is doing your groans back. You know what, you don't like the, I was just an empathetic grown format. Yeah. You know how to do tracers. I could figure it out before the end of the day. I can tell you that.

Summary:

In this episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast, hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Jay Grizz (filling in for an ill Mike) kick off by promoting the Ultimate Draft Kit giveaway, where listeners can win a UDK for life by purchasing the kit before August 24th, with a live stream drawing that day. The "Leader of the Pack" segment, sponsored by PetSmart, analyzes the Cleveland Browns' murky wide receiver situation, comparing rookie Denzel Boston and Casey Concepcion. After debate, Andy crowns Boston as the leader due to his outside role, touchdown upside, and strong camp, though both are considered late-round fliers in a potentially low-volume offense.

News updates highlight Jordan Tyson's recurring hamstring issue, which raises his risk rating, Darren Waller's signing with the Panthers as a depth option, and ongoing investigations into Josh Jacobs and Puka Nacua's potential suspensions, though Rashee Rice is expected to avoid punishment. The hosts discuss draft adjustments, like moving Puka down slightly and considering Breece Hall over Jacobs.

The main event is a 12-team full PPR mock draft, with Andy at #5 and Jason at #10. Andy builds a hero RB team with Christian McCaffrey, Drake London, Josh Allen, and George Kittle, while Jason pairs James Cook and Amari Hampton with Garrett Wilson and Devonta Adams, later adding Caleb Williams and Tyler Warren. Both emphasize upside and value, with late picks like Zachariah Branch and Aaron Jones. The episode concludes with a preview of tomorrow's tips episode and a playful critique of Jason's golf tracer video.

Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion are the top rookies to watch, with Boston being favored for his outside play and touchdown upside, while Concepcion offers elite athleticism but has drop issues. Jerry Jeudy and Isaiah Bond are also in the mix but considered less fantasy-relevant.

For players with injury or suspension risks, adjust their draft position accordingly. For example, Jordan Tyson's hamstring issues may lower his risk rating, and Puka Nacua's potential suspension could drop him from a top-1 to a top-3 wide receiver pick.

It's a segment where the hosts analyze a team's murky depth chart to determine which player will win the fantasy-relevant role, such as the Browns' wide receiver situation, and they crown a leader based on talent, opportunity, and camp performance.

In a 12-team full PPR mock, the hosts emphasized drafting pass-catching running backs like Christian McCaffrey and James Cook, targeting value wide receivers like Garrett Wilson and Drake London, and considering elite quarterbacks like Josh Allen in the third round for a competitive edge.
