We are on the precipice of the biggest fantasy football draft weekend of the year. That's right. Redraft season is officially in full swing. So we're firing up another Q&A coming your way right here on Twitch.tv slash fantasy pros to answer your burning questions ahead of draft day. I'm your host Seth Wolcock making the final adjustments to the ranks before ahead back to the hometown for our annual live draft and back with me as a man who's

1:08pretty much called the fantasy pros expert platform his home for the better part of the past three months adjusting the ranks every single day with every news drop and nugget. He's downtown Derek Brown. Debro great to be back with you on this beautiful Thursday afternoon man. And do you foreshadow any final adjustments to your draft rankings or you are already on to week one? I am straddling the difference between two. I just everybody a peek behind the curtain though. The primer for week one is halfway done. I will be continuing to work on that that will be out shooting for Tuesday of next week. But with all of that, yeah, like I haven't gotten to week one rankings and spruce in those up yet. I'm going to wait until I get through the entirety of the primer to those out here. So still in the draft streets, I am making some tweaks to the rankings for drafts like moved up sake one barclay a couple of different spots because of how I'm feeling moved mecha Buka. Down a few spots based off of a little bit of worries about the toes.

2:09So I'm kind of tweaking it a little bit here. So yeah, there's always that line between fine tuning and over tweaking, right? And I think we're trying to find that right now. And I feel like it's been one of those draft seasons there, especially with the Josh Jacobs news hitting us earlier this week that we really have to continue to adjust, right? It feels like even a week ago rankings are out of date. We of course had Erickson and Welsh. They did their final rankings episode that is out there on the YouTube channels for riders, hevers and running backs right now. And I think we'll have tight ends and quarterbacks coming out later today. So some more rankings information analysis over there at youtube.com slash fantasy pros. And you have folks go ahead, drop your questions here below for Derek and myself. Be sure to get to them as many as we can over the next 50 to 60 or so minutes. And also while you're at it, make sure you follow and subscribe right here on twitch.tv slash fantasy pros. You don't miss any of our live interactive content coming your way this season. You can also check out again, the face pros YouTube channel and the podcast. We've used some full offerings of episodes and great short form content getting you ready for draft day.

3:12Derek, any final drafts for you, any places you're on the clock right now? Or have you pretty much wrapped those up? I've got two drafts going on right now. Both of them are the slow draft variety. I'm hoping to get through those both of those before week one. One is with a good friend of the show Scott Barrett who's doing a Scott bearable. It's basically around efficiency metrics and things of that nature. Right now we're in a it's a 12 team or we're in a round three of it. And there is no clock and I already told Scott I'm like bro, bro, you're probably gonna be drafted in this freaking league and like week two knowing all of us. Oh, God, I love it. Absolutely God, I love it. And Derek also got to love the fans pros community hanging out with us today. We got W Collins who was locked and low just resub with prime for a five month streak. Thank you so much for that. We appreciate that. W Collins and also Billy Wang checking and saying we are so back. We absolutely are Billy and we also have Driesy checking in saying,

4:14hey, hey, good to see you. Driesy, thanks so much for tuning in with us today on this beautiful Thursday. Derek, what do you say we go ahead and dive into some questions here, man? It's good to, man. It's good to get to it. All right. First one is W Collins saying, what's up, boys? Football is filing back. Should I be worried about Puka at the fifth pick? And if so, would there be another person to target? Derek, how have you been adjusting your rankings for Puka if anything? Because I'm sitting at the four slot in my homely draft. I think he's going to be available. And I'm probably clicking the button unless there's anything that drops over the next 48 to 72 hours about him. I haven't changed anything about Puka. Like I think the fact of like I think it was chef to wrap up or tweeted whenever this is either right before or right after the Josh Jacobs news came out and about the commissioner's exemplest, stating that like at this time, no other players are going to put on that. I kind of feel like it looked a few different things here. If the NFL was willing to put Josh Jacobs on that list without us, any of us seeing the video, they know that this is way worse than anything that's been reported. To the flip side of that, Puka's not on that list.

5:18So you got to believe that the NFL is doing their investigation and they're doing their homework on stuff. And what they found was not significant enough or at least from a PR perspective knowing the NFL, not saying right or wrong. Absolutely. Saying like how it is with the NFL from a PR perspective that it's not damning enough to sit here and crush Puka or what have you. So I'm not expecting Puka to miss time. I'm not expecting him to go on the exemplest. I'm also not expecting him to miss week one. Puka remains and has been my third overall player. Okay. I'm right there with you. Absolutely agreed. Van Rauch, I can't wait to see you. Van Rauch, thanks so much for hanging out with us. H and every time we're live here on the Twitch. Also, money station. What's good, fellas? What's up, money station? Good to see you as well. And Derek, here's a question coming in from Shad, 16 team league, 15 rounds. Pick 102 with Chase or JSN full PPR or is it a given for Beijon. So if you're at the 102, Derek, would you consider going with a wide receiver here or would you just,

6:20you know, slug it out with a Beijon or Gips if they fall? I'm fine with Chase. I'm also fine with Bajon. Like I have, I will say after watching how bad Tua has played for most of the preseason, I have cool Dumpajon a little bit. He was my RV one. I moved Gips to the top spot now. So for me, I don't want to be too overreactive to recent sieve like with preseason and stuff like Shad. Yeah, yeah. If Chase is your wide receiver one though, I honestly go Chase. I am worried about Tua and this offense and the quarterback play probably dragging some of it down. Now, have I moved Bajon Robinson out of RV two spot? No, but again, when we're splitting hairs at the very tip top of drafts here, it's noteworthy that the quarterback playing Atlanta could be really, really bad. We could see Tua make starts. We could see Michael Pinnick make starts. Hell, I think we even see Jack Strand get on the field this year. So we shall see. But yes, I will go Chase here. Okay, going Chase there and Derek a little love bomb from yeah here.

7:23Come in someone just said, I love you, Debra. I'm looking for it now. I lost it must have must have disappeared. So I'll bring oh, there we go. We got James, Dive or Giant Sand. I changed the intro. Look at that. Wow, some love for Debra. All these streams, it's not always love. So it's nice to hear it and see it sometimes. Driesy check it in. Should I start shopping James Cook and Lamar Jackson because of their ages in a 10 man superflex, Dinesy League. I'm not a contender and I am in a rebuild. So I think this is probably the time where maybe you could start shopping them specifically Lamar getting over a little bit over the hill there. Yeah, I mean, I think this all comes down to like what is your return going to be for either one of these guys. So if you're able to get it like a really, really good return on James Cook and Lamar Jackson on a rebuild, yeah, I'm not against that. I think like one of those guys are least if we're going to tear it who I'm shopping first, it's Lamar Jackson. Yeah, and looking like a pretty thin team otherwise, shroud, darn old. So at least you do have at least two quarterbacks, but running backs gain well, Randall,

8:24Singleton, Aaron Jones. Yeah, this feels like if you can start shopping to get those 2027 first, Driesy might not be a bad deal to make. Also, we got Worth Lake checking in. Is that somewhere around you? I know you're from the Dallas Fort Worth area is worth. The Fort Fesera. Okay. Is it cold? Good vibes out there? Yeah, it's good, man. There's a bunch of little lakes around here. Not a lot of for fishing purposes around here, but as far as like wreck on the waterways and stuff, good places to go canoeing and kayaking in the DFW area. Yeah, definitely. Okay. All right, Worth Lake asking for some advice. Not on where to go fishing, but fantasy football in particular here. Advice for around five and six are being wide receiver options. Monty Irving, Tutan Price, Jameau Watson Parker, Adunesay, Debrouh. If I'm at this point in my draft, like I'm assuming a lot of that, you know, second flight of running backs has gone. I am really targeting Jameau pretty hard in this tier, also Parker.

9:24And then if I was going running back personally, I'm taking shots at price here. Jonathan Brooks is kind of on my radar too. Do you see Danny differently? Uh, the three standouts for me in this tier are David Montgomery, Parker Washington and Christian Watson. I'd say that the guy behind all those others is probably Jameau in price. I'm getting more worried. I have to just be honest. I'm getting more worried about like the backfield mess that could be the Jacksonville Jaguars cheer. So I'm cool on facial Tutan. I'm a good bit. Same thing with like role is fine. Jameau are fine where they go, you know, but my standout guys are Monty, Christian Watson and Parker Washington. Okay. Um, here's Nick also checking in saying thoughts on keeping Beijon around one and burden round nine passed on keeping Walker or a Buka round five. Mm. I don't know if I, if I would be passing on Walker and round five, I think I'd be I would take walker. Yeah, I think that yeah.

10:24Yeah. Like because Beijon you're probably going to get in round one if, if you have access to him. If not, if you're like in the back half of round one, then maybe you can keep Beijon. But I think if this is the potential for like, I'm definitely keeping Walker round five probably over burden no matter what. I'm taking I'm keeping Walker and a Buka like I understand the tow issue, but again, if it's a keeper league, like, Oh, Walker is actually round two. It's looked. Oh, got it. Holden fine. Then beat then you're, you're, yeah, yeah. And beijon round one. And I honestly would probably still go. Yeah, burden at round nine. That's not bad. I mean, the tow issue for a mecca, Buka does scare me man. Not gonna lie. Okay. Okay. And real quick reminder folks that if you're enjoying this stream, go ahead and follow us.

I think the red the red guardian D-Brow is probably the best one out there. I would say so absolutely hilarious. And my wife and kiddos were out last week and actually got this while they were out. Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice. Let's go. Let's go. We're spamming them here. We got the brough from wealth emotes. We got all the other custom emotes coming here from Van Rodd, spanning spamming all of them. I got the OG Seth. You got the DJ maybe. I think the football there. Yeah, yeah. And the guy bro with the crown. There we go. Need a Seth movie watch long stream. Hey, you talk you talk him into it. I'll be here for it. We were just making making jokes before here and another pop culture reference went over my head. So he did know who I think is. Just let everybody know Seth.

12:26You didn't know who I knew the player. He played on South Park though. Once you said, Chef, like I was, you know, I understood that. That's. Yeah. I mean, thank you, Sal. Thank you. Move this man. Yeah, but we got Bilbo checking in as well, saying Dart, B. John, Javante, Olawe, flowers, God, or ETN, Jamo, Dravy on Harrison Price, Wondale, Jordan Mason, 12 team. Any moves I should make. Wow. Oh my goodness. Derek, I absolutely love this team. I mean, I think I'm staying pretty packed, dude. I don't think there's anything you need to do this. I don't, if it's a 12 team league and for him to get B. John and Javante at running backs and still not be deficient and a wider seeker like this, this is brilliant. So the only thing I will say with it as deep as your team is at running back like having Javante, B. John, H.N. and Mason Price and Price. Take Travion and take Dallas, Goddard and you go knock on the door of the Colston Loveland team. Do that.

13:27Yeah. Yeah. Do that. Yep. I like that. I like that as well. Do that. Good call. Good call out there. Also, Bilbo just subbed for one month. Thank you so much for that. Again, guys, you can use Amazon Prime, account with Prime Gaming to subscribe for free. They are carrying the full screen name. I don't know why you're not doing that. It's a fear. Growth, Derek. Growth, Derek, that is what it is. People can do it. This is some yesterday or so. Yes. Yes. I'm growing up right before your very eyes. And right before the fans, it is. It is. We got a full send 3, 3, 4, 0, 8 checking in saying, what's up boys? Look, my draft did not go as planned. It's how it goes sometimes. And I had the 10 pick in a 12 man full PPR. I got CMC. Okay, Chase Brown, AJ Brown, a Buka, Zay. But my tight end position I'm struggling with. Yeah, I currently have Joanne Johnson. Should I look to trade for a wider seaver for a top eight tight end? I also have Mark Andrews on my roster. But the analysts have helped me project it low for playoffs because I don't have a top time.

14:28Derek, I think the fact you're able to go CMC and then chase Brown and still somehow end up with AJ Brown and a Buka and Zay. For me, I think like go out and just add another speculative tight end. Maybe like a Terrence Ferguson. He's starting to rise up my ranks a little bit based on some of the reports we're hearing. I lost Angeles and just I think the ever dying love. I've been hearing from fits and Erickson kind of rubbing off on me. Any other maybe late tight ends or undrafted tight ends that you would go for here for full send? I mean, no, because I like this team as it's built. Like, yeah, this is a really freaking good team, full send. Like you got CMC and Chase Brown leading the run-in-back room. You're three deep and very strong at wide receiver. Who cares if you're going to match up based on tight ends? You can't trash all the studs. Like you got to make concession somewhere. Yeah. So quarterbacking tight end, if you're going to make concessions in certain spots, that's where you do it. No, this is a good team. Stay back. Okay. Okay.

15:29And he's got Parker Washington. Yeah. This team is really good. Especially because after week one, one of these tight ends are going to pop off on the waivers. And you might be one of the few teams who need one who can address that after week number one. There's Santa Cruz Cardboard with the new follow as well. Thank you so much for that. Santa Cruz. Happy Thursday here from Reapers saying, I'm rolling with Goff and a mon run, a half point PPR. How are you feeling about the Lions Offences here? Derek, they play indoors in 12 of 17 games. They have an actual offensive coordinator this year. I'm all in on the Lions. I think this is going to be one of the most friendly Offences for Fancy, for gamblers as well. Especially because they want to the lowest projected strength schedules out there. Yep. And to open the season, both of their starting safeties are not back. And we don't know when they're going to be back. So I've already gone out and bet the over for the total, for the Lions and Saints game for week one.

16:30Everybody should go do that. And what is that total at? It was 40 and a half. Okay. Yeah. I don't mind that at all. Yeah. So yeah, I think that's a good. Yeah. So taking the over there and yeah, like I feel great. We were just talking about warm fits. And I just recorded our key questions episode leading up to week one. And we were talking about Jair Golf is a wonderful value in fantasy drafts like stylistically, how they score their fantasy points. Tell me Seth, what is the difference between Joe Barrow, Deck Prescott and Jair Golf? What is it? None of them run. There's absolutely as happy as there's nothing. Passing touchdowns. There's nothing. Yep. So I think I have a golf right now, QB 13. I continue to move him upward, dude, just because like it feels, it feels like he is a great value. You mean like team as well, sir. Okay. Yeah, I started like I started having him like back behind Stafford in my homes, but then I moved him above those guys and I feel really good about it. Honestly, so Jair Golf definitely one of my favorite quarterback sleepers.

17:32So reapers, you're you're right in line here with Derek and myself. And here's Pat Fan checking in saying, what's up, handcuffed question? Should handcuffed Chase Brown and drop Emmett Johnson or Jonah Coleman? Oh, no. And my running back room is Chase Hampton Brooks, Al Jirke and Mitchell and the rookies. For me, for me, Derek, like I don't think there's a true handcuffed for Chase Brown, right? So it's like, I don't necessarily, I'm definitely not dropping Jonah Coleman, one of the hottest rookies out there that I have right outside my top 36. And Emmett Johnson who continues to move up ECR as well. Why would you drop Chase or drop a drop one of those guys when Chase Brown is fully healthy and he's in a contract year and Kenneth Walker already has swelling to his foot and Andy Reed is under saying, oh, it's cleats. And I'm like, that doesn't happen. Just because you put on different cleats, it's not like your ankle and your foot just magically swell. So yeah, I'm not buying that, Andy. No, I'm not I'm not dropping any of these guys to pick up some magic here.

18:33What about Keaton Mitchell? Would you drop Keaton Mitchell? That's the one I would consider. Because it's going to have a scale, man, unless he's hurt and stuff like that. Like, no, no, no, no. Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday. On our podcast, lots to say with me, Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. We also bring in friends and mostly match friends who are current or former NFL players. Some of the biggest names in music and entertainment. And then we have some really great conversations that can pretty much go anywhere. The great. Pac-Man Jones. After the game, I'm holding national task force for police officers. It was at the stadium. Like, hey, buddy, yeah, you out of... Come on. And one of my favorite segments we do is called situational awareness. Where Bobby and I give each other real life situations and figure out what we'd actually do. You're in training camp and the rookie quarterback has one good throwing session in front of the media. Suddenly, everybody online says he should start over you week one. How do you handle this? You just go back out to practice the next day and we affirm the mess up.

19:33Listen to lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know the feeling.

Listen to the NFL report podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I still think it could be Vidal over Keith Mitchell. It could be!

21:39It could be! Until I'm proven otherwise. That's how I feel about it. If you want to drop somebody that could have a standalone role to pick up Somaji P. No, I don't. I don't know. Here's one from DeBoys saying, brothers, the two pick and a superflex keep and drake main the fourth round. Way to go there. Should I go Lamar, assuming Alan gets taken at the one, or should I wait for a quarterback and draft Gibbs or Bijan? Oh, great strategy question, Derek. What do you think? Gibbs. Take Gibbs. Gibbs, do that. Take Gibbs and if Gibbs gets drafted, one on one, you take Josh Allen and you enjoy life. Yep. Yep. I mean, I agree with that. Because the way that I look at it is like, I've been very adamant. I don't want to draft Lamar at cost. I don't want to do that. I just want to keep investing in Jamen Hertz at cost over Lamar. When he could come back to you here in the second round, or Jackson Dart, like one of those two guys, I'd be really keen on. Yeah. So wait on Malik Willis. No. Yep. Yep. Absolutely.

22:39Take Gibbs. Yep. Van Ra, Jack and Insane. One of my leagues this year is a six point touchdown. Am I reading that right? Six, oh, 16. PPR league. Okay. The only quarterback I drafted was Darts. Should I stick with him or drop him for one of Stafford, Nick's, my home is per to your golf. I have Darts as a top five guy. I realize it might not be sustainable all year, but I'm going to rock and roll with the rushing upside. Would you drop him for any of these quarterbacks? No, because you're going like in that small league. You don't care about the floor or whatever. You don't care about it all the time. You care about the ceiling and the absolute out front. So it's like, I would leave all those guys on the waiver wire. And if you were going to drop Dart for anybody, you're picking up Malik Willis for the same reason. Same reason with Dart. Like you want rushing upside. You want top three, top five upside. Anybody that's giving you production of QB7 to QB12, considering all these freaking names, Van Rod, that are on the waiver wire, you can fill that type of production any day and week. Yeah. So no.

23:40Yes. Before we keep moving to some more questions, I just wanted to remind everyone that take a few minutes ahead of your draft and make sure you check out the draft assistant. The fans pros draft assistant provides expert recommendations for every pick, real time alerts, and predictions for which players will make it back to get the ultimate cheat code for your fancied pros draft. At fancyprose.com slash assistant or on the fancy pros app. Derek, this has been such a game changer for me the last couple of years, but especially while I'm out there, you know, him and in Holland and carrying on in my live draft, having the assistant up has really leveled me up. And I love the fact that I can sort rankings out by, hey, if I want to pick Andrew Erickson's ECR rankings and combine those with Derek's and Pat's or if I don't want your guys' rankings and I want to upload my own rankings, I can do that as well. So there's a lot of different tools over there with the fancy pros draft assistant. You can have it just in your pop up window for your platform of choice or you can just draft right from there in the fancy pros draft assistant. So a lot of great ways to get invested.

24:41I felt like D-Bro a couple of years ago when I first started using this in my draft, I was like protecting myself so no one else could see what I was doing. Now I know this year because I've talked about the assistant so much and I've used it and showing my friends it. It's gonna be like the Spider-Man meme where we're all just having fancy pros draft assistant rockin' here on Sunday. That means everybody's drafting a bunch of good teams and it's gonna be a competitive league all for it. They will be. Yes, absolutely. Here's random thought, checkin' in. 10 team, full point PPR, two flex, pick seven in an upgrade trade. Caleb, CMC, KW3, CD, Zay, Waddle, McClaurne, likely Benches, Evans, Parker, Dowdell, Jane Reed, JCM, Strribbling and Tank, Bigsby. So you had to pick seven to start here, Derek. Or would there also be any trades you maybe be looking to? Oh, he had the seventh pick in the draft is what he wanted to do. Oh, that was okay. Okay, okay, okay. That part was no amount of random. Punctuation, people punctuation. Yeah, it helps.

25:41CMC in punctuation was good. Looking at this team, I think like the easy spot to say to upgrade would be likely. Yeah. Take one of... It's got a ton of receivers. Oh, it's the absolute best season. I would take my Kevin's and Isaiah Likley and go knock on the door, Colston Loveland or Brock Bowers team. Yeah. Tyler Warren would that not be too much for Tyler Warren? Yeah, but I would be offering... I would say Likley and maybe like a, a stripling or somebody like that. I would downgrade it a little bit. I love comparing of Mike Evans and John Shripling. It's almost kind of like your handcuffing the upside of a wider's defense. I really, really like that. But outside of the tight end stuff, like you could upgrade from Caleb, but I kind of feel like if you're gonna do the quarterback upgrade part and less the other team, that's one of those kind of moves that you see

26:42how the offense is kind of sift out and like a move you make not right now, but like at week five or week six. And see like, is there a team in this league that starts off O and four and they're like, my starting lineup sucks, but I have a really good quarterback. So you can do a two for one trade and upgrade that way a quarterback. Kind of like the long con method that sounds like. We'll do like a catch me if you can type of thing. Oh, you do know some movies. That's really nice. That's sad. Yeah, I know. Man, I'm gonna be a wrap for you. I'm not gonna be. I know. She showed the wife catch me if he can a couple of couple months ago and she enjoyed it. I fell asleep during it, but it was good. I've already watched like full, like three times. So don't give me that look. I was wanting to show her the movie. So you started off so promising at the beginning of that sentence and then it just, my issue is I, and less like I pace around my living room a lot when watching sports, because if not, if I sit down for too long, out like a light. So do you pace around when you watch movies?

27:44I feel like it's good for me to get up every maybe 10 minutes and do something. Like even if it's just like petting the cat or, I do have a tendency to fall asleep a little bit. Yeah, I do. I'm getting old man. You are getting old. Geez, I'm not even that old. I know. You need to get like a fidget cube or something like that. You get old in your hand and you're a good point. As a good point. You're watching the movie. Yes. You're welcome. And then you're out. I'll just wait to get the congratulatory text from your wife saying you're welcome too. So. My best friend, he, he, I don't know if you say ADHD or what, but he just flips his phone like this every, every time he's sitting anywhere, he just fling. And he's broke so many phones by just flipping his phone like that, but it's, you know, by a phone case, I hear they help. He has a, yeah, he has a phone. He needs a, he needs another guy. It needs a fidget spinner, I think too. For sure. A full send. Should I offer stripling in Jawan Johnson for La Porta? Too much. Too much. I don't think I'm doing that. I don't think I do. But you need, if you're offering that, you need to, I would need pits probably. It's higher than that. Like you need to get a top three guy.

28:44Like I think strip. Oh, dude, it's the upside hits with stripling. You're going to hate that you made that trade. So it's good point. Yeah. That's fair. Better call Bob 10 man full PPR. Once you get in that mid tier wide receiver to range, and you're looking at JMO Parker Washington, Mike Evans, Christian Watson, take who are you taking there, guys? Derek, you've talked about this tier law. I know if probably it's Parker Washington and Watson for you with a bullet. Yep. Those two guys easy. That where do you, where do you have JMO by curious in your rankings? Because JMO, I do have above all these players, but I know I'm like leading consensus on him. I have JMO right now, wider receiver 21. And I could, I could honestly flirt with one. I want to say I'm at consensus. I'm pulling up real time ADP right now. Like I want to say I'm basically at consensus with him. Let me see real time ADP. Jamison Williams is at wide receiver 26. I'm a little bit lower than I do. I'm a wider receiver three, but I'm a wider receiver 30.

29:45I can just see the problem with JMO for me is I could see both run outs. I could see where he is a consistent wide receiver two, his role changes and all that kind of stuff. The thing that people aren't talking about with JMO is we are putting faith and hope for Drew Petsing to dial up a good route. Treat JMO when we saw him struggle in Arizona to do the same day. And thing from Arvon Harrison Jr. Yep. So it's like, do we really got that much faith? So that's that's my problem with JMO versus Christian Watson versus Parker Washington, where I'm like, those guys are the clear wider receiver ones and their offenses. JMO even at his best will not be the wider receiver ones. Yeah. Very fair. Yeah. Bam, bam, brands and checking in saying cheers boys. Just checking in to let everyone know Chris Sims is a hater and Jalen. Well, we'll finish quarterback one. Chris Sims is a boo.

30:45He's an idiot. He's a moron. Like I cannot stand Chris Sims. His draft rankings, anything he puts out is all gaslighting clickbait BS. If you want to be better at football and gets smarter, don't follow anything. Chris Sims says, don't get some time. Sometimes he just needs to click. Man, sometimes you just got to, you know, just need the other thing that's really that's quite true. Is do good work, provide, try to provide the best analysis you can and people also find your work. Hi, Chris Sims. Try it. It just take for a test drive one of these days. Maybe, maybe. And we got Miranda Miranda Jane checking in saying, how do you feel about Marcion? Lloyd this season as the presumptive lead back in Green Bay. Derek, where have you gone to Lloyd and your rankings? I'm at RB 28 and I still feel maybe I'm a little low, but I think that's just the potential that maybe Jacob's does come back. I know you've been a Lloyd truth or really since day one, the guys had, you know, just unfortunate injury issues his entire career. Is this the year that he's back healthy and where are you comfortable drafting him right now

31:47among the running back position? Marcion Lloyd, Sison is loading people. He's done. I'm here for it, man. Absolutely here for it. And this isn't just me leaning on priors. He's got talent. He's the clear RB one. I think there's a reality where as soon as this Josh Jacobs video drops, if it drops, the packers might legit just cut him. And if that happens, you're going to be glad that you drafted Marcion Lloyd. Like again, with the emergence of Jonathan Brooks, a Marcion Lloyd, and this is the take I haven't heard many people workshop or even talk about Seth. Doesn't the the emergence of Marcion Lloyd and Jonathan Brooks, doesn't this make going zero RB a little bit easier on the year 2026? Dude, I just had this conversation last night with my best friend, the phone flip. Nobody's having this conversation though. Yeah, yes, because now I feel like in the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh round, that dead zone doesn't feel so dead. Right? Mom and I was using the fancy pros mock draft simulator a couple of days ago.

32:52And I just started running four wide receivers in a row to see what was happening. I was getting like 10 Macmillan in the fourth round. And I was like, if I can take 10 here and just figure out running back the next, and then like still again, address it late, go after the Jonah Coleman's of the world with upside, go get a J. Sam, go get a Tyler out of the year. These types of running backs who could potentially be starters for their team. I think it's a great point, Derek. And you're right. I don't think the conversation is being put out there because now it feels like it has been very get your running backs early type of thing. This draft season, I think now maybe you should be zigging while others are sagging. I fully agree. And just for clarity with everybody, I have Marcia and Lloyd and RB 26. If I knew right now, Josh Jacobs was out for the entire year, I've already talked, Erickson and I were talking about this yesterday. If I knew Josh Jacobs was out for the entire year, I would immediately move Marcia and Lloyd up to my RB 19 right behind the Andre Swift and Travis H. He would be a top 20 running back.

33:52Yeah. Top 20 with RB one upside. That's who Marcia and Lloyd is. I'm not worried about Chris Brooks. Not worried about Caleb Johnson. I'm all in a Marcia and Lloyd. Okay. All right. Marcia and Lloyd. Sison is here. Shout to rock smash 98 for the new follow. We appreciate that very much. And would you rather have Jackson Dart and likely be a dark horse stack or their better options? Honestly, Derek, I'm not huge in the stacking phenomenon here, especially with a team a little bit lower powered like the new or giant. So like, I'm not, I like Dart and I like likely like individually. Like, I don't want to say, like, I wouldn't be running away from that stack, but it's definitely not one like I'm prioritizing by any means. I don't look to prioritize stacks and unless I'm talking best ball, if we're talking best ball, then I'll worry about about stacking. But outside of that, if it happens cool, but I'm not. I'm not worried about it. But again, to your point Collins, I won't run away from it.

34:54Like I'll lean into it. Like if that's the best players in the board and stuff, like this. And again, fits in and warm and I just did a show about key questions. And when we're talking about possible tight ends, when we flip the cards over and we're at this spot next year of tight ends, that could be tier one tight ends for next year. I brought up Isaiah likely as being one of those guys. Like if he could or he does establish himself as the clear number two in this passing attack behind Malik neighbors, could be a top five top six tight end next year for draft season. Yep. Sure. Good. Hmm. Let's go. Let's go. Metal James saying, Hey, D bro, going to see Chevelle and breaking Benjamin on the 18th. Metal James either live. You've never seen either one of them. Let's go. I've seen breaking Ben probably about five or six times. I've seen a live acoustic show they did. And then Chevelle. I have not I've not caught but dude, Chevelle is so good. Man, panic prone is one of my favorite songs like it for the gym playlist. So good.

35:54Did you used to go to Warp tour? You look like a worker kid. Yes. I was a warp tour veteran. I'll be an emo scene kid to the day I die, my friend. We're in con versus now until the day I die. Yes. We're not a phase, Mom. We went. It's not a phase. We went to warp tour just real quick. Aside, we went to warp tour of my wife and I in college for four or five straight years. And just for a funny aside, one time during crowd surfing at warp tour. I got I got tossed up in the air and then it was like everybody was like, Oh man, I'm not catching that dude. Went straight up in the air came down and landed on the concrete and I snapped two ribs. Crowd surfing. So yeah, I've got I've got my battle scars. It was worth it. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Warped tour legend. Damn, they're brown. It's all good. Broken ribs. No, maybe. T bro, we got a question from Billy here. Start Rico Dattle or Marshawn Lloyd. I have Swift starting in Monongai, stash currently.

36:56Start Lloyd. Lloyd, I don't have to worry about the you don't have to worry about the workload. He's going to get 15 to 20 touches and week one. Hmm. Who's taking work away from yourself? Exactly. This pausing Chris Brooks. Kate Caleb, Caleb Johnson, maybe with three carries. No. Should I start Travis ETN over Gentine week one if he's not 100% inflexal Lloyd also, which quarterback do you like more between Caleb Williams or Trevor Lawrence rest of season 10 team? PPR. Caleb. Only because and I have I've hammered this point religiously. The opening schedule and I say opening the first half schedule for the Jacksonville Jaguars is God awful for past defenses. It's it's horrible. So I'll go Caleb. Okay. All right. And here's another one from white monster 865. Do you like the white monster Derek?

37:57Is that in your rotation at all? Yeah, it's it's the old staples to stand by. It's the, you know, when nothing else is available, you just lean on the, the old go to. Yeah. Nice 12 team PPR two flex for white monster. He's got B. John. He's got Jonathan Brooks, Marcion Lloyd, Jdering Price, AJB, Pickins, Levelyn, Josh Downs. Should I trade four Parker Washington or Michael Wilson or sit tight? Is there a trade that you be willing to make to go get them because it feels like if anything, it might be trying to get price for Washington. Sounds like a fair trade to me, but aside from that, I don't know if there is, is something out there. But you only, you know, you're our thing kind of at the wider super three position. I would hold. I mean, I think what you're going to have to give up the acquire Parker Washington. And if this is a, it's a two flex league. So it's just assume you're starting, Bajon, you're starting one of those running backs. And you're probably flexing the other two running backs. Like you got three, well, two really good, wide receivers.

39:00So unless this is like a start three wide receiver league as well. Like I think you're pretty much set like to get Parker, you're probably going to have to go give up. And I'm not trading for Michael Wilson. I don't care about the contract. It's all good. Hmm. Okay. I'm Presby checking and saying hello chat and hello Seth and D. Brog to see you. Presby and Bam Bam saying as a certified Kyle, I've moved on to watermelon red bolt from mom and smart. Um, and also saying the monster rehab raspberry T going away was a sad, sad day. What are the, what are these names? What are these names for drinks? Monster rehab? Like that makes me definitely want to drive that. It's great. Markings. The other rehab that they had that's always been in the, the gold and black one is like an Arnold Palmer. So, you know, try that Seth. It reminds me of, you remember four locoes back in the day. I do and I'm surprised you actually remember this. I figure four, four locoes before your time, my friend. So I had like the revamped four locos that like they removed some of the caffeine because

40:02it, you know, there was like four cups of coffee and kids hearts were exploding and stuff. You know, drinking it back in the day. So I think I got the rebranded four locos. But yeah, I definitely had some, you know, loco nights if you would back in the day, but water down. It's been, you know, the less loco. Yeah. Yeah. I think you can keep going. Yes. Oh, that's good. That's a good one. That's good one out there. Well done. Well done. I was gonna say it's been 10 years since I've had one about, you know, I wouldn't have been 21. You might want to pop one of those. For a movie and you might stay awake the entire time. The issues I don't really like caffeine. It kind of makes me jittery. I can do like a little bit of like maybe like a half a diet coke. That's about as far as I'll go. I don't know how I would function if I didn't have caffeine. Yes. He's just got caffeine pills in the long. I'm just going to go to the show. Oh, my god. Jesse Spano couldn't live this life. She's just scared. Who's you? You have no clue. The chat will know you don't know. It's fine. Now, who's Jesse Spano chat? I was thinking Uncle Jesse from my own.

41:04So please. I was thinking Uncle, is it? Oh, and I'm bringing myself right back in. Don't worry about it, South. Trying to try to remove me from the stream. Can you add to the stream? Thank you. Is Jesse Spano. Is Jesse Spano not the guy from Full House? No. Save by the bill. And she had a caffeine in the pool. Oh, yes. She did have the caffeine. Yes. Yes. I'm so sorry. I knew. I should know, say by the bell. Jesse was kind of the one character that kind of just, you know, she kind of faked. I do remember that episode though. She was like just like bomb and caffeine pills and, you know, maybe some other substances and Zach had to talk her down off the off the cliff a little bit. I remember that one. I was very tough, you know, I mean, like, I remember that being such a big thing with Save by the Bell. It was like this like really deep episode and it's like she's addicted to caffeine pills. Oh, like, like she was at her like, shorten lines like to study for tests. Like, I was like, what is ridiculous this man? Oh, it's crazy.

42:04God, I love it. God, I love it. I apologize to Jesse. I was more of a Kimberly, Kimberly guy myself, but you know, appreciate that. I mean, here's bossing up 83. I have three tight ends. Should I drop Jawan Johnson or a rendez-gadson? I have Sam Laporta. What do you think here, Derek? I think you're muted as well, Derek. Good lord. I'm having all kinds of tech issues. My freaking earpods decided to die. I've had like five shows in a row right now. So I just switched live on, on show. But anyway, I would drop a rendez-gad. I think he's going to be tied in three in that rotation, man. Like I, I have no hope. I think Charlie Coller is going to be there starting tight end and lead at the chargers and routes and targets at the tight end position. No hope for OG. Yeah, I, I started moving him down pretty hard in my rankings. He is below both of these players. And I would say maybe a month ago, I was a pro, O'Ronde, but I do agree. I do think he's moving down. But yeah, if you need to drop someone, I mean, don't just drop for drop in.

43:05If there's another player out there, go get him. But I don't love holding on to the top. So Friday, four Friday, for anything, you can't say much. It's fun. What about like Salami sandwich? NFTs? Salami is good. We were playing disgolf last night. Me and my, me and my pal. He shows up. He has a sandwich that he got from the camp store at the lake and just takes the cheese right off. And he's just eating meat on it on bread. I was like, it's terrible. I take the cheese off. Does the line cheese? Wait, wait. We've just just this before, but I just want to make this known again. My son has some kind of issue with cheese and he hates cheese and I don't understand this, but apparently this is a thing because I've talked to a lot of different people. I cannot square for the life of me how you have issues with cheese, but people that have problems with cheese will still eat pizza. It has cheese on it. Yeah. My son eats it and he's like, it's not the same thing, dad. And I was like, it's exactly the same thing. It's the same thing.

44:05There's cheese on the pizza and you're eating it, but you hate cheese. I can't make any sense out of this. I just doesn't make any sense. What about Gabagool coming in from W. I've actually never had. I haven't had that. I have a legit Gabagool. Yeah. I would like to. I would like to. Tcb relentless saying my son has a huge thing about textured with certain food. It is. I respect that. I understand that. Like I'm a texture person myself. Like crunchy things like that. All good things that are more like soft or slimy or overcooked. Like I've got a big thing where like my overcooked noodles. Oh, I do. Yeah. I can't do it. Can't do it. Can't live with it. Yeah. Yeah. Guys, we're going to get to more of your questions here and not just talk about cheese and food and noodles, but we're going to talk your face, football questions here. We're going to get through them in about the next 20 or so minutes. But before we do, though, a quick reminder, you can also chat with us about all flavors of life over in the fans,

45:05friends, discord community chat with us and other fans and get access to exclusive AMAs actually wind up on the podcast feed. Our current schedule looks like this.

Make sure you're rockin' or all with us over there. Come get your questions answered and be on the show at fancyproves.com slash chat. All right, James Askin, full PPR, JSN or Puka at four overall. I'm Puka still. Easy. Puka. All right. Girl, dad loves fantasy football. Pick on half PPR Harrison, Jr. Coker or Juan Dale Robinson. I mean, I am Marvin Harrison in that scenario, but I do like Coker and Juan Dale.

46:07You're that far. You're that far down on Harrison team. Coker, baby. Coker, good night. Wow. Wow. Which we already have to leave and more. Jacobi Berset, Bryce Young. That's a real question. That's like picking between two doubles on my shoulder, man. None of them are going to do a good pile. Yeah. I know. The question remains, Seth, who are you picking? You didn't set you sidestep it. Jacobi Berset or or anyone else has to be even throwing. I'll give you Carson back. Well, I was going to say I speak to Coby Berset slash Carson back because we know we're seeing back. You can Jacobi Berset Carson back or Bryce. Show where you going. Based on how he played at the end of last season, I will take Bryce Young. And but that's probably a hot taste. A co-cad. You're a co-cad. It's okay. Cool. Got it. Just like Jesse Spano, huh? Yeah. Apparently.

47:09Happy Hills. Live. Bam, bam. He's man. Bam, bam, Branson. Also just shipped out Scataboo and Lloyd for a top half 2027 first and second have plenty of death and could pass up. Couldn't pass up that offer. Wow. Yeah. I don't hate that at all. Do you know, I like that. Totally down with it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you're getting. You know, if you got depth, yeah. I mean, I like both of those players this year. Well, no one that is the top top in pick to definitely makes like versus like, you know, late first. Yeah. Like it's good, but it's not great. So yeah, Doc stews checking in with some docs and 10, 10, half point PPR, but tight ends, one point PPR, one quarterback, two running backs, three wide to zero, one tight end, two flex. I have the number two pick this weekend with my draft strategy change and possibly pick tight ends early, given the roles with tight ends. So okay. So it's a little bit of a premium for tight ends. That being said, though, Derek, I think you're still going one of those running

48:10backs at one or it's a chaser, puka type of pick. And then maybe you bump those other, you know, elite tight ends, you consider them on the turn. What I think is you use this format to your advantage, Doc, and you go with the running back and you garner some running backs and wider severs. And if everybody kind of, this is also kind of reading the room. When you get to premium formats and stuff like that, especially in a 10 team or like, can I make this depends on where they go? Can I make you a reason of like a conversation of how close to love one is the best pick on the board here? Absolutely. But it depends on where he goes. If people overreach on tight ends because of the format and you get Brock Bowers going and like back into round one, top in, around two, and then it starts the tight end run. And everybody's like, oh, McBride is a second round pick. Love ones a second round pick. The no, you're not following the title wave. But if like those guys kind of go and then everybody's like, oh, I need to catch up on running back and wider seer than just Tyler Warren become the best value at tight end on the board, possibly.

49:14So some of this, like, you just need to, like, again, this is a perfect and this is not just me blowing smoke and reading things, playing the tools and stuff for fantasy pros just to do it. But this is a great reason of why you use draft intel because if this league has been around for a few years, you can see those trends. You can see where these guys go. You can expect or at least try to expect how this draft kind of falls and how you're going to play the board. So am I going to chase tight ends at the board in a premium format like this? No. If they fall or I get a value guide, fall to me. Absolutely. In a vacuum, I am more comfortable making a bet on a guy later in this type of format that could absolutely just crush like a guy where you swing on the upside of an Isaiah likely, adult and KK, if he gets the damn routes, a George Kittle, if he bounces back, those are more likely my draft targets and this type of format. But again, it goes down to reading the room and could you get one of those guys in a good value, possibly.

50:18Yeah. All right. Let's do some rapid fire to get out of here on in the last 13 or so minutes, Derek. Fat salad, one of my favorite types of salads, like it is out here in Pittsburgh. We got the French fries. You got, you know, the eggs, everything good on it out here. Oh, the dressing of the bacon fat salad saying how are you feeling about a draft strategy for an eight man PPR league, but it's three wide receiver two running back two flex a quarterback in a tight end. I haven't seen many good articles on these types of small leagues with wider player polls. Derek, it's a great question because usually we say, okay, if you're condensing it to eight teams, I win more inclined to go out and get an elite tight end or an elite quarterback. That said, though, does it change anything adding a third wide receiver and a second flex? No, because you're still only have eight teams. So the depth and players that are up all to you later, it still makes, like, you're still need to be winning from the onesy positions. So still, like I'm not telling you to go draft, Josh Allen and Brock Brock, Bauer's on the same damn team. Yeah. But again, the guys that could be or are in that elite tier that are values compared to these onesy

51:20positions are Jalen Hertz and coastal and Loughlin. So I would prioritize them. And yes, it's still the onesy positions. Because again, everybody in this league is going to be fielding a total, like, lineup and roster of all stars. It's, are my all stars better than you're all stars. Also, we got grand, grand, all rocks asking here. Did a 14 team PPR drafting eighth overall grade this team, Derek, on a, let's do a one through 10 scale. JSN Walker, Devon Desmitth, Waddle, two in fanning, party, white QJ, Aljir, only three bench spots. So can make some moves during buys. I like the start of this a lot, Derek. I do like the first five to six picks where, where I can't give it an A is a fact that he went, party and fan and six to seven, seven sounds early for party, even in a 14 team league. So for that, I would give it a B plus. I give it a B plus, too. And you could be kind of like, I mean, you're piecing together or B2 here. So, yeah, you know, outside of like, I wouldn't have gone fanning around six or

52:22party around seven. I would have tried to like, you know, hammer another wide receiver running back in one of those spots. But again, it's a B plus. I think it's still a really good team. Reapers, half team PPR is golf chase Brown, Javonte Williams, Corum, Tank Bigsby, Jonathan Brooks, Amon Ra, Garrett Wilson, Christian Watson, Godwin, Casey, Cepse, on QJ, McBride, Titan. Is this a good team? Any moves I should look at? Wow, I'd very good team. Yeah, I mean, right now I wouldn't be making any moves. I would just let it like get a few weeks into the season and see how the team shifts out for you. Like, I like this team. I don't think there's any. There's no spots where I'm like, oh, you need to upgrade it. So, um, Derek, how high is too high for Parker Washington? Are you willing to push this into the fourth round? Or is it still like fifth round as pretty much as early as I would go? That's kind of where he's been shaking out in a lot of the ECR and ADP is like mid to late fifth early six round pick. Is that where you're comfortable taking him or would you push us further?

53:25I, if you were at the back end of the fourth round, I, I could make you a really good case to take in there. It just depends on what the board looks like versus him and some of the running backs. Like if we're already into the basal tutin tier of like split back fields and we don't know what to do with these low end RB2s versus Parker Washington, up draft and Parker Washington. Okay. Our hand asking, do you think a quarterback earlier? Do you pick a quarterback earlier if passing touchdowns are worth six points and passing completions are worth 0.5 and incompletions are worth minus 0.5? No, you can still get Jordan love. You could still get Brock Purti. You could still get you stas or you could still get Jared golf. Any one of those guys who are amazing, Dak Prescott, all of those at value. No. How are you feeling about K nine in the two of ones that still write in line with you, Derek or is that getting a little bit too rich given the foot swelling happening out there in Kansas City? Just because of that one kind of like offhand report,

54:26I'm not moving a Kenneth Walker down. If anybody wants to, I totally understand it. But right now he still is my 13th overall player. Thoughts on the nun guy reducing Swiss production, Billy Wayne's ask. I mean, he's going to be hurt beginning the year. So I don't think it's like he's going to take a bigger role than he had last year. Yeah. So it's still believe back like unquestionable. Full send at Shadrop Tyler out of your tray Tucker or Rashad White for Joan of Coleman and Malik Willis or Kenyan Black. I have CMC and was thinking about taking Greg Dolsich due to my poor tight end situation and his upside is crazy. Maybe, but we are going for the chip boys. I would drop tray Tucker for Joan of Coleman for sure. And I would drop Tyler out of your from Malik Willis. I would drop both those guys. Oh, I'm not dropping out of your. No, I'm not doing that. Because you believe in the Jacobi Berset Carson Beckled offense. He could be a starting running back in week one. I'm not letting, and I love Malik Willis.

55:26I mean, I'm the highest in the ECR on Malik Willis. But like, I would just find a different way to get Malik Willis on my roster without dropping out of your. I, I was your just kind of seems like a. Where are you at on those years where I got to rank 36 overall? Where are you at? Not nearly that high. He's the bottom. What? For why are you buying in so heavy to the Cardinals offense? You think they're going to score a crack on a touchdown? Oh, no. You are with. I just think I just think he could start a couple games and like a starting word. And Tyler, I was yours always like kind of a fringe worthy flex kind of guy. You know, spot RB two type of player. So no, I've got to. I've got to tell her I was year at RB 49. There's so many other running back. Okay. I will end up like, I mean, stop me when I'm wrong here. Let's go from RB 36 Blake, Horm, Mike Washington, the Washington commanders guys, RJ Harvey, Aaron Joel, take him over wash Mike wash 10. I have no words for you. Next question. I have no words for you. Oh, okay. I don't even know what to tell you right now.

56:27Seth. Start Josh Allen or Williams. I have Texans defense. Or should I go get another defense? I mean, you're starting Josh Allen. If you have him right, right? I can be true. Josh Allen can have a great day and soak in the Texans defense. Like they can get a pick six for touchdown and get a few sacks and Josh Allen could still go superman. So yeah, start. Yeah, you're you're right. It sounds like you're working against yourself, but you're not. Yeah. First, Evan, first, Evan, I'm, yeah, we're going to go with that. 14 team PPR anyway to take bours and round. No, I, I, you know, I can't do the deep relieves deep prior one ties quarterback and tight end. You have to sacrifice somewhere in 14 and 16 teamers, devalue quarterback and tight end and thank me later. Metal James, should I pick up Bill for a bench line issues? Where are we? But they're still working or but they're working saying he's working on his past catching spears and Pollard. I mean, Pollard needs to be picked up.

57:28Pollard, I'm saying, but you drop and you're dropping to be able to pick those up. Metal James definitely. Yep. Enrico afternoon, bros 10 team, a half point PPR super league. Please grade my draft. Let's do one through 10 again. Oh, let's go a through B. I think we did that last time. QB may Murray Willis running backs brown, Kyron Williams, Brooks, Gainwell, Coleman, Widersiever, Sungod, AJB, Devante Ames, Evans, tight end concade. Yeah. This is this an A team like this. Yeah, like a 93 94. Yeah, I mean, this this this would grade high with my rankings if you did this on the fancy pros. Very very draft assistant. Love it. Absolutely. Whips, hey, bros, a point PPR Kelsey or Terrence Ferguson is bench spot. I do. Kelsey, okay. He's a top 12 tied in. Dude, if he scores touchdowns, he's going to be top five six this year. Like I'm not at the best. What is Terrence Ferguson? The third option in that passing attack? Like a friend. Yeah, a friend. Shut down one.

58:28Maybe T for hype. Man, if that's the case, we have way we have lost the sauce. Just saying. Calm tragedies asking trade thoughts. I offer JTKT or JT Tucker craft DJ Moore for gives. Hopefully. If he's insane for saying no, he mentioned he thinks Barclay and neighbors was a better offer he received from someone. I mean, I'm not giving up that. I'm giving that much for Gibbs. I'm sorry. Like that. Yeah, just depleting your team. I can't do that. Yeah. So no, that he, he has crazy for things. He's crazy. That was a bad trip. But I mean, also Barclay and neighbors for Gibbs is a really good deal too. So this guy's just, you know, he's just guys Gibbs. Like basically he's untouchable. Like you're not getting Gibbs from that team. So and that's fine. TCB asking 18 league and I have six running backs. Hampton Hall Swift, Skataboo, Bucky and ETN. Who would you package for an upgrade? Bucky and Skataboo. And if one of those guys is not palatable for whoever, then just exchange.

59:31What I would do TCB, you go to a team and you say, all right, you can have two of Swift, Skataboo and Bucky who you give me at the top of the board. Pick your two. People like choices. Yeah, they do. Tastingly asking 16 man full PPR's got per se. He's got Willis. He's got Breeze Hall, Walker, McCaffrey, Rodriguez, Flowers, Waddle, Mcconkey, Downs, Friday, Mooth, Jawan Johnson, Tongus, Raiders and Colt defense. What do you think about this team? I think you should not be rostering two defenses and I have not think you should be rostering three tight ends, especially two of them on the Steelers. So I mean, I would drop Friday, Mooth, Tongus, but you know, also like your defensive choices are questionable. I would say Derek. Raiders drop a pad for our Muth, drop Tongus and pick up wide receivers and running backs like up towers, pick up Bryce lands, pick up running back handcuffs. Yeah, drop those three. I don't hate the rest of your team. The rest of your team. I don't like the rest of the team. I mean, quarterbacks outside of Willis, like Berset's kind of suspect as a QB2, I would

1:00:34honestly like, okay, so let's play the board here, Seth. If you're dropping all three of those players considering your quarterback room, I would pick up Shedorus Anders. Yeah. Yeah. I think you'll be starting week three. Yeah. I think they put Deshade Watson in as the starter to fail when week one, week two and when they get back home, it's going to be Shedorus starting. Yeah. So love that. Billy, 10 team, PPR trade or upgrade, Hurt Swift, Lloyd O'Lavet, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Goddard Dowdell for the Flex, Steelers defense, Aubrey at Kicker. I mean, I would maybe want a better, I mean, looks okay to me. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I'm curious. He went wide receiver wide receiver. Yeah. I'm only kind of curious, like, what is the rest of your bench look like? If can you pair somebody to upgrade from Dowdell, if that's the case, then I would do that. Yeah. Okay. Pietro asking, hey guys, I'm having a 15 player linear PPR draft soon. What strategies would you recommend linear? Oh, man.

1:01:35I don't, I don't know why we're playing in, I mean, that's crazy. I mean, I mean, my strategy would be fine. I knew Lee, I'm not playing in linear league. That's great. That's crazy talk. I get it. I mean, I understand it. But you do? No, no, no, like I understand staying in a league that you've been in for forever, like despite that being the case, that's a, that's a great, that's crazy. I'm not saying it's good. I'm definitely not saying it's good, but I've never even heard of that for a lead draft. That's insane. Yeah. Always hear snake drafts. This goes back to like what I was talking about a second ago in larger leagues, like 14, 16 teamers like this, deep prioritized quarterback and tight end. Wait, wait on both of those positions. You got to sacrifice somewhere. Dude, quarterback and tight end. Yeah. Collins just saying finally, have my draft on Saturday. Thanks boys for all your wisdom and knowledge, wishing luck. Good luck W Collins. Thank you so much for supporting us. He's been in the live chat team. Literally since I think the season ended and of course,

1:02:37there's a huge supporter last year. So thank you, Collins for always making our day a little bit brighter. And speaking, making our day brighter, Van Raude checking in, would you guys drop Sutton or Addison for Lloyd? Yes, I would. My run, yeah, my running backs cook Brown, Skataboo, Irving, Widers here's Flowers, Birdon, so an Addison. I mean, Caleb Douglas. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, drop out of this. Absolutely. No, no. Van Raude, are you Miami dolphins, Van Raude, something that you would consider dropping those guys before he's got to be. I don't know. Drew, Drew saying how much of the target share is birding going to take away from Rome? I mean, not. I think it's a 22. But I'm going to say probably like a 20, 22% target shares out. We're kind of like, it's going to be a consolidated passing attack. It's literally those three guys and then what the hell else? So like, yeah, let's just parse it out here, Seth. Rome gets a 23% target share burdens at the same Colson level and that anywhere

1:03:37from 23 to 25, those three guys make up legit like close to 75% of the targets for the Chicago offense. I'm projecting it. Yeah. Here is Sharif saying I'm an 10 man league and I have the third pick. Should I switch to the eighth pick? I don't really love picking from the eighth this year personally. Derek, I think there's a tear break after like the top six. So I'm good at staying in a 10 team or stay top three in a 10 team or stay top three. Yeah. Go get that stud at the top. Best draft strategy for a 10 12 team standard league with really competitive players. Phase pros draft assistant. That's one of the big ones I should say. And I would. Yeah. Are you more more incentivized to draft running backs early in this as well? 12 because I feel like running backs are going to fly off in a standard. It just depends on where you're drafting and what the board looks like. But yes, in this in this year running backs are going to go early and often, especially in a standard league, you probably get more of a discount on somebody like a

1:04:41Derek Henry that maybe you should. Yeah. In this type of format. So. Last question here, Derek from Cordell. What round is best pick a quarterback seeing question for defense as well? If I cannot even pick a defense and just have an extra player going into week one, like I prefer that and like quarterback, I'm late round pretty much all day unless dart falls like darts been falling, meaning like the 10th and I've been taking him there and I've been taking hurts. Maybe if he falls, like six or seven, that can sit around there at any disagreements of your approach. I think I would take hurts in the sixth round. If he's there outside of that, it'd be taken back. Press got him like the seventh rate around. If he's there, if not, I'm waiting and I will legit just build. I just did this in one of our fantasy pros leagues. I'll just build a room of two of these three quarter, two of these quarterbacks. Build a two man quarterback room with Jared golf, Baker Mayfield, Tyler Schuck, Bolly Quillis, log out. Yeah. Yep. Love it. Derek, great stuff for you, man. Any big plans for you last weekend without professional football back in our lives,
