(00:01):
Yes guys, we are back with an entire fantasy football draft
guide how to build. A league winning team.
Around Jamir Gibbs. So why?
(00:21):
Jamir Gibbs, if you're watching this video, you've probably been
given the first, second, third, fourth.
Maybe. 5th overall pick maybe? You're in a league where you can
draft Gibbs farther back somehow.
But most. Likely you have an early pick
and this strategy is going to. Apply to guys like.
Jamir Gibbs, Bichon Robinson, maybe Saquon Barkley if you want
to. Take these R BS early, OK?
(00:42):
Specifically though, why? Are we targeting Jamir Gibbs in
fantasy football? Drafts, well, last year, guys,
he led every. Single running back in fantasy
points per touch for those of you watching on YouTube.
You see the chart for those of you.
Listening only three running backs.
Averaged over. One fantasy point per touch last
year and half PPR. Jamir Gibbs was first. 1.07 Half
(01:03):
PPR points per touch James Cook,one point O four half PPR points
per touch Austin Eckler. 1.0 Surprisingly, some other names
here coming in fourth, Derrick Henry, Dave Montgomery, Devaney
Chan, Zach Charbonnet, Gorendo Barkley.
So some interesting names. This chart is available on
Twitter. At Joe Orico FF.
At no expert FF Long story shortthough.
(01:23):
Gibbs scores. The most fantasy points.
Per touch. He did it in 2024, there's no
reason that he can't do this again in 2025.
He is the most efficient runningback in terms of literally just
scoring points. He has the highest.
Explosive run rate among all running backs last year as well.
And like I said, there's just noreason it shouldn't continue.
OK, so let's begin. With the draft strategy, so.
(01:46):
In my overall draft rankings, inround one, tier one guys Bijan
Robinson and Jamar Chase. I'm taking those two players
over. Gibbs.
But then in Tier 2 CD, Lamb, Jamir, Gibbs, Justin Jefferson,
that top five rounding out the top five, Like I said, one O
11-O2 I'm going Jefferson. Excuse me, I'm going Jamar or
Bijan. But then one O 3 or later.
(02:08):
OK, Lamb, Gibbs, Jefferson, let's take a.
Look at Gibbs here So. We're taking Jamir Gibbs in
round one. There's a lot of different
things you can do here. You can go.
Hero wide receiver, you can go. Tight end, later on in the mock
drafts, we're going to do a couple.
I'm going to show you two different builds here, actually
on the draft board. After we go through the guide,
what I. Love my preferred.
(02:28):
Strategy with. Gibbs in one is Trey McBride in
two. He is a value.
Trey McBride when you compare him to Brock.
Bauer So Brock. Bauer's going about 10 plus
picks earlier from that. Perspective.
I view those. Guys in the same tier, McBride
and Bowers, so you can get. Basically Brock Bowers light
but. It's really the same type of
(02:48):
player, same type of elite tightend about 10 picks later.
So from that. Perspective.
It's a value. And I have McBride and Bowers in
a tier above every single other tight end.
Some people. Like Kittle, right?
Closer to those guys, I don't. Really.
So I'm fine paying up because you're going to see when we
start cashing in on this wide. Receiver value that.
You can do it now if you're not a McBride guy, if you're not an
(03:08):
early tight end guy. OK, go wide receiver.
Here in Round 2, Smith and JigbaMcconkey, even Tyreek Hill late
in the second because this is going to be a late second round
pick. OK, my ideal pick is Trey
McBride. We'll move.
Forward with that pick. But like I said at the end of
the video, I'll show you one more.
We start with the wide receiver OK in Round 2.
So so far through. Two rounds we have Jamir Gibbs
and Trey McBride. Round 3 is simply always a.
(03:30):
Wide receiver regardless of. What you do in Round 2?
The options here are too good. Garrett Wilson.
T Higgins. Tyree kill.
I actually like these players. At.
Least. At least as much as the round
two wide receivers, if not more Wilson, Higgins and Hill.
I like them honestly more than like London.
A.J. Brown, OK, I think they're
better values than Mcconkey who's going in that mid second.
(03:52):
I view them as high, high high end wide receiver ones.
If not low end, excuse me, high end wide receiver twos.
If not low end wide receiver ones.
They're discounted in drafts forone reason or another.
Like Wilson as Justin Fields throwing to him.
T Higgins is always injury prone.
People are labeling. Tyree kill as washed, but
realistically this is just valuefor us to scoop up.
OK, so the ideal pick. Here is Tyree kill in three.
(04:13):
Now in round 4. This actually with Jamir.
Is not much of A hero RB build you can do.
That but I view. Round 4 is a great round for
running backs. Alvin Kamara, Ken Walker, Joe
Mixon, Amerian Hampton. These are very good RB twos
with. RB-1 ceiling, top ten, top 12
ceiling. OK, Kamara, Walker mix and
(04:35):
they're all discounted because they're veterans.
Hampton is discounted a little bit in this fourth round.
I think he should be going higher than that just because
he's a rookie. He's never played.
Before the wide. Receivers in round four are not
that much better than the wide receivers in rounds 5 and. 6 So
I like RB. In round 4.
Now, Speaking of round five and six, if you didn't draft Trey
(04:55):
McBride, OK, this is when you grabbed your tight end.
Hawkinson, Laporta, Kelsey, Big fan, big fans.
OK, Hawkinson, Laporta, Kelsey. I think there's a.
Clear tear drop off. After those tight ends and the
other pick is going to be a widereceiver.
Now, if you did draft Trey McBride, both picks are going to
be. Wide receiver here.
(05:16):
All right. Ted McMillan, George Pickens, DK
Metcalf, Xavier Worthy, CortlandSutton, Jerry Judy.
All picks I really like here. Great area for wide receivers.
Rounds 5 and 6 and then in roundseven we emerge from this RB
dead zone. We avoided it for two or three
rounds here after round four, and there's value everywhere.
Trevion Henderson, Caleb Johnson, Travis ET, and RJ
(05:36):
Harvey. At the time of my writing, this
quinch on Judkins was a great pick here.
He's since has gotten into some legal trouble, so I'm kind of
avoiding him in drafts, boostingup Dylan Sampson.
These picks really are too good to pass up like.
These guys I want over the roundfive and six R BS OK, moving
into round 8 and you guys will. See how this all?
Plays out once we start mock drafting moving into round 8.
(05:58):
These. Quarterbacks here in round 8.
Justin Herbert, Kyler Murray, Bow, Nix.
Oh man, these are like my favorite.
QB's to draft. You can stack them so easily.
Maybe you got Lad Mcconkey in round two.
Maybe you ended up with Trey McBride in round two.
You have Courtland Sutton from round 5.
Or six. OK, Herbert.
Murray, Nix, I think they're going to just be as good, if not
better than the guys above them,Mayfield, Goff, Mahomes.
(06:19):
And I think that it's worth paying for, quote, paying for
them in the eighth round. Over some guys later, OK, but.
If you do miss out on these. Three I do like.
Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott, CJStroud, Justin Fields, Drake May
later then in rounds 9 plus guysat this point the.
Roster has three receivers. 3 running backs so.
Just take a look at which position is weaker.
(06:41):
And then prioritize drafting there.
OK, some late round guys. I like Javonte Williams, Jaden
Higgins and Mecca Igluka, Keon Coleman, JK Dobbins, Jaden Blue.
Taije, Spears, Trey. Harris All right, so.
Let's. Hop into the first mock draft
here for this one we will try todraft Trey McBride.
OK, so I'm going to claim spot 4.
Jameer Gibbs is going one O 5 overall and I'm going to cheat a
(07:04):
little bit and I'm just going toset us up with.
Jameer Gibbs. 1st and then I'm going to set us up with in a
second Trey McBride. So that would be the 209.
OK, so that is. Before.
It's right around his ADP of 21/2.
Three. Yeah, it's exactly his ADP so.
I'm cheating a little bit in this first draft.
I'm filling in our first two picks.
I'll hide my face Cam, so you guys can see.
(07:26):
OK All right, now our first pickat 104 is Jamir Gibbs at 2:09.
We will go. Trey McBride, this is, I really
think this start is going to win.
Leagues this year followed up with a wide.
Receiver in round three, according to the.
Guide after this start guys we will do.
A Jamir Gibbs and then two. Wide receiver start.
So you guys can kind of compare and contrast which one you like.
(07:47):
Better, OK. So coming up to us in the third,
let's take a. Look at the wide.
Receivers and there's our guy Garrett Wilson waiting there.
So Higgins and Hill are already gone in the third.
Garrett Wilson is is waiting right there.
He is going to be our third round pick.
All right, there is literally 0.Competition on The Jets for
targets, I don't care. That it's Justin Fields.
(08:07):
Throwing him the ball, I mean, Garrett Wilson could be pushing
200 targets this season. If that's the case, he's
finishing top ten. He's an absolute value in the
third. A lot of reasons, it's not like
The Jets, a lot of reasons it's not like.
Fields I guess but. No one is competing with Garrett
Wilson on that team. As a result, he is our wide.
Receiver 1. So let's go back to the
strategy. We're in Round 4.
(08:28):
What does the strategy suggest here it suggests?
Another running back. So let's take a look at the
running backs. That are available.
We have Joe Mixon, Hampton. Hubbard I like those.
Guys love James Conner. Let's go ahead with.
Let's go ahead. With a Marion Hampton here in
the fourth round at the 409 heading back into five and. 62
wide receivers. Coming right up for us, if we
(08:50):
didn't have McBride, one of these picks would be a tight
end. Let's take a.
Look here, Cortland Sutton is our pick.
You can't go wrong with CortlandSutton.
The back half of the season, guys, he was a top. 8 wide
receiver. Really.
From the moment Bo Nicks got adjusted to the NFL.
Which was about 6. 8 weeks in from that point on, Cortland
Sutton was an absolute monster for fantasy.
(09:10):
Football should be. Ranked as a top 15, if not top.
12 wide receiver he's. There in my rankings and he's
going in the fifth round. So I mean, through 5 rounds, we
have Gibbs, McBride, Wilson, Hampton and Sutton, a nice
balance of upside versus. High floor.
With a guy like Sutton McBride. OK, now we're back on the clock
here in the 6th. Right back to the wide receiver.
(09:31):
Well. Addison, Judy McMillan, Hunter.
I like some of those picks a little better than others.
We're going to go with Ted McMillan, OK.
So our wide receivers. Are Garrett Wilson, Cortland
Sutton and Ted McMillan. Pretty good guys.
With a guy like Jameer Gibbs andMcBride like.
This is how you. Build the team.
OK, Round seven, we come back, the RB dead, zone's gone.
Let's go back to. The RB well here.
(09:53):
Trevion Henderson on the board. I also really like DeAndre
Swift, but we will go with Henderson here. 2 rookie running
backs. It's kind of what it's.
All about. Good bets to make.
OK, this team is young. I'm looking at a young team
here. With high upside.
And a decent floor. Ow coming back into round 8.
Like I said, best time to draft a quarterback.
And I bet Bone Nix is waiting. Oh crap, Boneix is gone.
(10:16):
OK, Boneix is gone at 801. Murray gone at 8:05.
And we love Justin Herbert in this spot.
Let's take Justin Herbert and later in the draft, I'm just
going to. Queue up Trey Harris.
It's a. Stack that I'm targeting
basically everywhere. Guys, Trey Harris.
And Justin Herbert, so easy to draft, and it's just going to be
so good. Just going to be.
So good this year. And now rounds 9 plus.
(10:38):
You guys know the drill. Let's take a look at the roster,
see if the receivers are weaker or.
The running backs are weaker, sowe have Jameer Gibbs and Marion
Hampton and Trevion Henderson. Little bit of a lack of a floor
there with the latter 2 guys as they're both rookies.
OK. Then we have Wilson at wide
receiver 1, Sutton at wide receiver 2 and McMillan so.
I do think the receivers. Are a bit stronger OK.
Or should I say just a bit? Safer.
(10:59):
So let's insulate the running backs here.
A little bit. Starting with our 9th pick, our
ninth round pick, ET NS on the board.
You guys know me, it's a no brainer.
Also love taije Spears there, JK.
Dobbins a bit later, another good pick.
So this. Is just building a strong
running back core here, very strong and coming back to us in
the 10th. We'll just continue to bounce
back between running back and wide receiver.
(11:20):
That's what we will do here. Let's just look.
For value now, Darnell Mooney's on the board.
Good pick. Key on Coleman.
I like him a little better. Let's go with Coleman, all
right? He will be our wide receiver. 4
Coming back to us in the 11th, now again just bouncing back and
forth between wide receiver and running back.
Joanne Jennings. Ibuka Higgins.
Trey Harris is there. Let's just go ahead and draft.
(11:41):
Trey Harris so. We reached on him a little bit
in the 11th round, but I do think he could.
Just be a clear. Wide receiver to step right into
that role for the chargers. I'm very excited to see what he
can do hopefully JK Dobbins stays on the board here for us
in the 12th rounds. Come on stay there stay there
one more pick. Yes, we got JK Dobbins and I
know we have Quoten Sutton, they're on the same team, but I
(12:03):
do think Dobbins guys is going to start as that lead back in
Denver for the season and Sean Payton loves.
To use two guys, I get the Harvey.
Hype, but I'm not entirely sold on it to be honest.
Our last pick here in the 13th. I'm looking at Amari Cooper as
the best. Receiver available.
He's not on a team. Jack Besh is working behind
Thornton right now and OTA. So yeah, we.
(12:23):
Will go back. To the running back position and
take Jaden Blue. All right.
So that finished very nicely. That's that's a really great
build, this is. Kind of an ideal draft for me,
OK. At QB we have.
Herbert at running back we have Gibbs and Hampton.
Wide receiver we have. Wilson and Sutton, two top 15
guys in my rankings. OK.
We have Trey McBride, who is discounted, Brock Bowers,
(12:43):
basically the same player for 10picks.
Later in our flex, we have Ted McMillan and Trevion Henderson
rotating in for those guys, though off the bench, Etn
Coleman, Harris Dobbins and Jaden Blue.
So. This was a very successful
draft, guys, Very, very successful.
Now I'm going to go ahead and fire up another mock.
Draft for us real quick. Let's head back into it.
(13:06):
OK, so now let's do this from. The third overall pick, OK.
And we will start. With I'm.
Just going to set the player as Jamir Gibbs and we will start
from here with a wide receiver in Round 2, so can kind of just
show you guys a bit of a different build.
All right, so let's begin the draft and like I said, we are on
(13:27):
wide receiver watch in Round 2. I'd love to get a.
Jackson Smith and Jig, but I don't feel like he's getting the
respect. He deserves.
JSN Darnold is more than capableguys of providing the.
Usable wide. Receivers in fantasy.
Jordan Addison, once he got moving last year, was top 20.
Obviously, Justin Jefferson, oneof the best in the game and JSN
(13:47):
last year, I mean wide receiver 9.
And if we were to cherry pick his game log a little bit and
just kind of go from this bye week, I mean, this would be a
top. Five wide receiver so.
That's my guy. That's just my guy, all right.
And he is available there for usin the second round.
So let's go JSN after Jamir Gibbs.
I do prefer. JSN to Macconkey, for example,
and guys, all of my rankings areavailable in the discord link
(14:09):
down below all right in the third round, like I said always.
Always a wide receiver. Tyree kills on the board.
I don't think Tyree killer's watch guys finished last year
wide receiver 18 OK, which is not where we drafted him.
We drafted him in the first round, but finished wide
receiver 18 with a torn wrist ligament.
OK and two a missed six of thosegames pretty insane when you
(14:29):
think about it. So his other two years on the
Dolphins wide receiver. Two and wide receiver two
overall. So I'm I'm willing to give him
another chance here now in the fourth round.
Let's consult the guide. We'll.
Go right. Back to the draft.
Guide here. And you already know before the
RB dead zone, let's grab one of these guys.
OK, Kamara's on the board, get on the team.
Alvin Kamara. So we have Jamir Gibbs and Alvin
Kamara. Who is they?
(14:50):
They're basically the same running back in terms of Kamara
and his prime. I should say.
We have JSN and Tyree Killer, also pretty similar.
And then in the fifth round. Back to the guide.
We are going tight end and wide receiver with these next. 2
picks. So here's where we got to use a
little. Bit of our brain power OK and I
will also real quick guys get rid of my face Cam and stuff so
(15:12):
you can. See the board there it is for.
Those of you who have been upsetfor the last 5 minutes, I'm
sorry, but you can see it now. All right?
So we need a tight end and we need a wide receiver in five and
six. Let's take a look at the wide
receivers. First, Sutton is still there.
OK Smith is there. OK, Olave who I don't.
Love worthy. OK, Waddle.
Pickens, who I love, so I don't think we'll end up getting
(15:34):
Pickens here. As he's the 60th.
Overall ADP, which is the end ofthe 5th, which will go around
here or Jameson Williams and honestly.
We have Gibbs, so I'll probably just go.
Sutton again, guys, that's my third.
Wide receiver He. He's one of my most drafted
players now coming back to us. Sam LaPorte is going to go off
the board. Here, Yeah.
There he goes. Now up coming up here at the end
(15:56):
of the sixth. Travis Kelsey.
Really is the guy we need. So I really, really hope that.
He remains on the. Board, I really hope.
Jonnu Smith is off the board, interestingly enough, and
Kelsey's back so. Guys.
Kelsey in the sixth round. Like it's a good.
Pick as far as when you just look at the tight end position
in general. Travis Kelsey in the late 6th.
(16:18):
Is a good pick. Averaging 10 plus targets.
Back half of the year. OK, I I understand he doesn't do
what he sometimes did. With those.
Targets and those catches, once he actually gets the ball on his
hands, I get that. I get he's like 35 years old.
I get Rashid Rice was out. I understand, but.
If Kelsey gets. 7 plus. Targets 8 plus targets.
He's finishing, He's giving you value on his ADP and plays all
(16:40):
17 games. He's giving you value on his ADP
if he sees that volume on a per game basis.
All right, so we're back in the seventh round 7 and we see.
Just great RB value. As you guys know, Tyrone, Tracy
Henderson's there. We'll go with Swift this time.
All right, so DeAndre Swift is our third RB.
Then coming back into the 8th, we're just going to keep
(17:00):
hammering on these wide receivers or, excuse me, these
QBs in the eighth round. I really hope that one of Nick's
or Murray make it. To us, hopefully that.
Happens. If not, no.
Big deal. It's so easy to stack these
guys, so. Looks like one of them's going
to make it to us. Bonex.
Great. So we have Cortland Sutton on
the team. We'll stack him with Bonex
entering round nine. You guys know the drill.
We have. Three wide.
(17:20):
Receivers and we have 3 running backs on the team, so we have
Gibbs, Kamara and Swift, very strong.
We have JSN Hill and Sutton alsovery strong.
I guess if I had to pick the R BS are a little.
Riskier at this point and we'll just go with.
Ty J Spears. All right.
Taiji Spears in the ninth round.Guys in the fantasy.
Playoffs last year was actually a top. 5 running back or top?
(17:41):
6. Top five or top 6 running back,
but only guys like Gibbs and Taylor really.
Those type of. Players who were just going
crazy to end the season were better than Spears, so very
happy to get him in the ninth. He's younger, a bit more
efficient than Pollard and I think that if.
He sees 5060. Percent of snaps, right?
He could be a big producer. All right, we're just going to
keep balancing here. The wide receivers and running
backs balance it out. We will take a Mecca Igbuka in
(18:04):
the 10th and let's see who comesback to us in the 11th.
Cam Scatabo great get on the squad with these later round.
Picks too. Always.
Try to balance rookies with someguys with a bit more experience,
obviously. A lot of these picks are
rookies. Because we don't know where to
rank them. OK, but always try.
To balance right, if you pick a rookie, maybe look to do a bit
(18:25):
more of a veteran next time. Always just keep balancing guys.
Balance it out. Marvin Mims here is going to be
our pick in the 12th. That wide receiver two job.
In Denver's wide open, I understand I have Cortland
Sutton probably won't ever starttwo of them at the same time,
but won't be starting Mims at all really.
And then last pick here. We will go with.
Isaac Gorendo. Great.
So this draft? Ended a little differently and
(18:47):
than the other one I I still really like the outcome here.
Jamir Gibbs, Alvin Kamara at therunning back position.
We have Bo Nix throwing to Cortland Sutton for a little.
Bit of a. Stack there, but then our other.
Two wide receivers. 2nd and 3rd rounders, Jack and Smith and
Jig, but entirely. Kill we have Travis.
Kelsey who is one of my favoritetight end picks there if you can
get him in the 6th or 7th in theflex.
Already mentioned Sutton. We also have Swift who will be.
(19:07):
Rotating in with Spears. Igbuka Scataboo.
Marvin Mims and Gorendo guys so.That is how you.
Draft around Jamir Gibbs and Fantasy football 2025.
These are league winning teams we're putting together here.
Guys, hope you follow this exactguide for your draft.
It's probably going. To give you a.
Pretty good outcome so I hope you guys enjoyed.
The video today I'd love to keep.
Making these. Specific player builds for. 2025
(19:29):
So if you've enjoyed guys, I'm trying to make one for basically
every player in the first round.Please let me know in the
comments and show some love in the likes department subscribe
department as you guys. Already do.
All right, guys. Peace.
Thank you.
Yes guys, we are back with an entire fantasy football draft
guide how to build. A league winning team.
Around Jamir Gibbs. So why?
(00:21):
Jamir Gibbs, if you're watching this video, you've probably been
given the first, second, third, fourth.
Maybe. 5th overall pick maybe? You're in a league where you can
draft Gibbs farther back somehow.
But most. Likely you have an early pick
and this strategy is going to. Apply to guys like.
Jamir Gibbs, Bichon Robinson, maybe Saquon Barkley if you want
to. Take these R BS early, OK?
(00:42):
Specifically though, why? Are we targeting Jamir Gibbs in
fantasy football? Drafts, well, last year, guys,
he led every. Single running back in fantasy
points per touch for those of you watching on YouTube.
You see the chart for those of you.
Listening only three running backs.
Averaged over. One fantasy point per touch last
year and half PPR. Jamir Gibbs was first. 1.07 Half
(01:03):
PPR points per touch James Cook,one point O four half PPR points
per touch Austin Eckler. 1.0 Surprisingly, some other names
here coming in fourth, Derrick Henry, Dave Montgomery, Devaney
Chan, Zach Charbonnet, Gorendo Barkley.
So some interesting names. This chart is available on
Twitter. At Joe Orico FF.
At no expert FF Long story shortthough.
(01:23):
Gibbs scores. The most fantasy points.
Per touch. He did it in 2024, there's no
reason that he can't do this again in 2025.
He is the most efficient runningback in terms of literally just
scoring points. He has the highest.
Explosive run rate among all running backs last year as well.
And like I said, there's just noreason it shouldn't continue.
OK, so let's begin. With the draft strategy, so.
(01:46):
In my overall draft rankings, inround one, tier one guys Bijan
Robinson and Jamar Chase. I'm taking those two players
over. Gibbs.
But then in Tier 2 CD, Lamb, Jamir, Gibbs, Justin Jefferson,
that top five rounding out the top five, Like I said, one O
11-O2 I'm going Jefferson. Excuse me, I'm going Jamar or
Bijan. But then one O 3 or later.
(02:08):
OK, Lamb, Gibbs, Jefferson, let's take a.
Look at Gibbs here So. We're taking Jamir Gibbs in
round one. There's a lot of different
things you can do here. You can go.
Hero wide receiver, you can go. Tight end, later on in the mock
drafts, we're going to do a couple.
I'm going to show you two different builds here, actually
on the draft board. After we go through the guide,
what I. Love my preferred.
(02:28):
Strategy with. Gibbs in one is Trey McBride in
two. He is a value.
Trey McBride when you compare him to Brock.
Bauer So Brock. Bauer's going about 10 plus
picks earlier from that. Perspective.
I view those. Guys in the same tier, McBride
and Bowers, so you can get. Basically Brock Bowers light
but. It's really the same type of
(02:48):
player, same type of elite tightend about 10 picks later.
So from that. Perspective.
It's a value. And I have McBride and Bowers in
a tier above every single other tight end.
Some people. Like Kittle, right?
Closer to those guys, I don't. Really.
So I'm fine paying up because you're going to see when we
start cashing in on this wide. Receiver value that.
You can do it now if you're not a McBride guy, if you're not an
(03:08):
early tight end guy. OK, go wide receiver.
Here in Round 2, Smith and JigbaMcconkey, even Tyreek Hill late
in the second because this is going to be a late second round
pick. OK, my ideal pick is Trey
McBride. We'll move.
Forward with that pick. But like I said at the end of
the video, I'll show you one more.
We start with the wide receiver OK in Round 2.
So so far through. Two rounds we have Jamir Gibbs
and Trey McBride. Round 3 is simply always a.
(03:30):
Wide receiver regardless of. What you do in Round 2?
The options here are too good. Garrett Wilson.
T Higgins. Tyree kill.
I actually like these players. At.
Least. At least as much as the round
two wide receivers, if not more Wilson, Higgins and Hill.
I like them honestly more than like London.
A.J. Brown, OK, I think they're
better values than Mcconkey who's going in that mid second.
(03:52):
I view them as high, high high end wide receiver ones.
If not low end, excuse me, high end wide receiver twos.
If not low end wide receiver ones.
They're discounted in drafts forone reason or another.
Like Wilson as Justin Fields throwing to him.
T Higgins is always injury prone.
People are labeling. Tyree kill as washed, but
realistically this is just valuefor us to scoop up.
OK, so the ideal pick. Here is Tyree kill in three.
(04:13):
Now in round 4. This actually with Jamir.
Is not much of A hero RB build you can do.
That but I view. Round 4 is a great round for
running backs. Alvin Kamara, Ken Walker, Joe
Mixon, Amerian Hampton. These are very good RB twos
with. RB-1 ceiling, top ten, top 12
ceiling. OK, Kamara, Walker mix and
(04:35):
they're all discounted because they're veterans.
Hampton is discounted a little bit in this fourth round.
I think he should be going higher than that just because
he's a rookie. He's never played.
Before the wide. Receivers in round four are not
that much better than the wide receivers in rounds 5 and. 6 So
I like RB. In round 4.
Now, Speaking of round five and six, if you didn't draft Trey
(04:55):
McBride, OK, this is when you grabbed your tight end.
Hawkinson, Laporta, Kelsey, Big fan, big fans.
OK, Hawkinson, Laporta, Kelsey. I think there's a.
Clear tear drop off. After those tight ends and the
other pick is going to be a widereceiver.
Now, if you did draft Trey McBride, both picks are going to
be. Wide receiver here.
(05:16):
All right. Ted McMillan, George Pickens, DK
Metcalf, Xavier Worthy, CortlandSutton, Jerry Judy.
All picks I really like here. Great area for wide receivers.
Rounds 5 and 6 and then in roundseven we emerge from this RB
dead zone. We avoided it for two or three
rounds here after round four, and there's value everywhere.
Trevion Henderson, Caleb Johnson, Travis ET, and RJ
(05:36):
Harvey. At the time of my writing, this
quinch on Judkins was a great pick here.
He's since has gotten into some legal trouble, so I'm kind of
avoiding him in drafts, boostingup Dylan Sampson.
These picks really are too good to pass up like.
These guys I want over the roundfive and six R BS OK, moving
into round 8 and you guys will. See how this all?
Plays out once we start mock drafting moving into round 8.
(05:58):
These. Quarterbacks here in round 8.
Justin Herbert, Kyler Murray, Bow, Nix.
Oh man, these are like my favorite.
QB's to draft. You can stack them so easily.
Maybe you got Lad Mcconkey in round two.
Maybe you ended up with Trey McBride in round two.
You have Courtland Sutton from round 5.
Or six. OK, Herbert.
Murray, Nix, I think they're going to just be as good, if not
better than the guys above them,Mayfield, Goff, Mahomes.
(06:19):
And I think that it's worth paying for, quote, paying for
them in the eighth round. Over some guys later, OK, but.
If you do miss out on these. Three I do like.
Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott, CJStroud, Justin Fields, Drake May
later then in rounds 9 plus guysat this point the.
Roster has three receivers. 3 running backs so.
Just take a look at which position is weaker.
(06:41):
And then prioritize drafting there.
OK, some late round guys. I like Javonte Williams, Jaden
Higgins and Mecca Igluka, Keon Coleman, JK Dobbins, Jaden Blue.
Taije, Spears, Trey. Harris All right, so.
Let's. Hop into the first mock draft
here for this one we will try todraft Trey McBride.
OK, so I'm going to claim spot 4.
Jameer Gibbs is going one O 5 overall and I'm going to cheat a
(07:04):
little bit and I'm just going toset us up with.
Jameer Gibbs. 1st and then I'm going to set us up with in a
second Trey McBride. So that would be the 209.
OK, so that is. Before.
It's right around his ADP of 21/2.
Three. Yeah, it's exactly his ADP so.
I'm cheating a little bit in this first draft.
I'm filling in our first two picks.
I'll hide my face Cam, so you guys can see.
(07:26):
OK All right, now our first pickat 104 is Jamir Gibbs at 2:09.
We will go. Trey McBride, this is, I really
think this start is going to win.
Leagues this year followed up with a wide.
Receiver in round three, according to the.
Guide after this start guys we will do.
A Jamir Gibbs and then two. Wide receiver start.
So you guys can kind of compare and contrast which one you like.
(07:47):
Better, OK. So coming up to us in the third,
let's take a. Look at the wide.
Receivers and there's our guy Garrett Wilson waiting there.
So Higgins and Hill are already gone in the third.
Garrett Wilson is is waiting right there.
He is going to be our third round pick.
All right, there is literally 0.Competition on The Jets for
targets, I don't care. That it's Justin Fields.
(08:07):
Throwing him the ball, I mean, Garrett Wilson could be pushing
200 targets this season. If that's the case, he's
finishing top ten. He's an absolute value in the
third. A lot of reasons, it's not like
The Jets, a lot of reasons it's not like.
Fields I guess but. No one is competing with Garrett
Wilson on that team. As a result, he is our wide.
Receiver 1. So let's go back to the
strategy. We're in Round 4.
(08:28):
What does the strategy suggest here it suggests?
Another running back. So let's take a look at the
running backs. That are available.
We have Joe Mixon, Hampton. Hubbard I like those.
Guys love James Conner. Let's go ahead with.
Let's go ahead. With a Marion Hampton here in
the fourth round at the 409 heading back into five and. 62
wide receivers. Coming right up for us, if we
(08:50):
didn't have McBride, one of these picks would be a tight
end. Let's take a.
Look here, Cortland Sutton is our pick.
You can't go wrong with CortlandSutton.
The back half of the season, guys, he was a top. 8 wide
receiver. Really.
From the moment Bo Nicks got adjusted to the NFL.
Which was about 6. 8 weeks in from that point on, Cortland
Sutton was an absolute monster for fantasy.
(09:10):
Football should be. Ranked as a top 15, if not top.
12 wide receiver he's. There in my rankings and he's
going in the fifth round. So I mean, through 5 rounds, we
have Gibbs, McBride, Wilson, Hampton and Sutton, a nice
balance of upside versus. High floor.
With a guy like Sutton McBride. OK, now we're back on the clock
here in the 6th. Right back to the wide receiver.
(09:31):
Well. Addison, Judy McMillan, Hunter.
I like some of those picks a little better than others.
We're going to go with Ted McMillan, OK.
So our wide receivers. Are Garrett Wilson, Cortland
Sutton and Ted McMillan. Pretty good guys.
With a guy like Jameer Gibbs andMcBride like.
This is how you. Build the team.
OK, Round seven, we come back, the RB dead, zone's gone.
Let's go back to. The RB well here.
(09:53):
Trevion Henderson on the board. I also really like DeAndre
Swift, but we will go with Henderson here. 2 rookie running
backs. It's kind of what it's.
All about. Good bets to make.
OK, this team is young. I'm looking at a young team
here. With high upside.
And a decent floor. Ow coming back into round 8.
Like I said, best time to draft a quarterback.
And I bet Bone Nix is waiting. Oh crap, Boneix is gone.
(10:16):
OK, Boneix is gone at 801. Murray gone at 8:05.
And we love Justin Herbert in this spot.
Let's take Justin Herbert and later in the draft, I'm just
going to. Queue up Trey Harris.
It's a. Stack that I'm targeting
basically everywhere. Guys, Trey Harris.
And Justin Herbert, so easy to draft, and it's just going to be
so good. Just going to be.
So good this year. And now rounds 9 plus.
(10:38):
You guys know the drill. Let's take a look at the roster,
see if the receivers are weaker or.
The running backs are weaker, sowe have Jameer Gibbs and Marion
Hampton and Trevion Henderson. Little bit of a lack of a floor
there with the latter 2 guys as they're both rookies.
OK. Then we have Wilson at wide
receiver 1, Sutton at wide receiver 2 and McMillan so.
I do think the receivers. Are a bit stronger OK.
Or should I say just a bit? Safer.
(10:59):
So let's insulate the running backs here.
A little bit. Starting with our 9th pick, our
ninth round pick, ET NS on the board.
You guys know me, it's a no brainer.
Also love taije Spears there, JK.
Dobbins a bit later, another good pick.
So this. Is just building a strong
running back core here, very strong and coming back to us in
the 10th. We'll just continue to bounce
back between running back and wide receiver.
(11:20):
That's what we will do here. Let's just look.
For value now, Darnell Mooney's on the board.
Good pick. Key on Coleman.
I like him a little better. Let's go with Coleman, all
right? He will be our wide receiver. 4
Coming back to us in the 11th, now again just bouncing back and
forth between wide receiver and running back.
Joanne Jennings. Ibuka Higgins.
Trey Harris is there. Let's just go ahead and draft.
(11:41):
Trey Harris so. We reached on him a little bit
in the 11th round, but I do think he could.
Just be a clear. Wide receiver to step right into
that role for the chargers. I'm very excited to see what he
can do hopefully JK Dobbins stays on the board here for us
in the 12th rounds. Come on stay there stay there
one more pick. Yes, we got JK Dobbins and I
know we have Quoten Sutton, they're on the same team, but I
(12:03):
do think Dobbins guys is going to start as that lead back in
Denver for the season and Sean Payton loves.
To use two guys, I get the Harvey.
Hype, but I'm not entirely sold on it to be honest.
Our last pick here in the 13th. I'm looking at Amari Cooper as
the best. Receiver available.
He's not on a team. Jack Besh is working behind
Thornton right now and OTA. So yeah, we.
(12:23):
Will go back. To the running back position and
take Jaden Blue. All right.
So that finished very nicely. That's that's a really great
build, this is. Kind of an ideal draft for me,
OK. At QB we have.
Herbert at running back we have Gibbs and Hampton.
Wide receiver we have. Wilson and Sutton, two top 15
guys in my rankings. OK.
We have Trey McBride, who is discounted, Brock Bowers,
(12:43):
basically the same player for 10picks.
Later in our flex, we have Ted McMillan and Trevion Henderson
rotating in for those guys, though off the bench, Etn
Coleman, Harris Dobbins and Jaden Blue.
So. This was a very successful
draft, guys, Very, very successful.
Now I'm going to go ahead and fire up another mock.
Draft for us real quick. Let's head back into it.
(13:06):
OK, so now let's do this from. The third overall pick, OK.
And we will start. With I'm.
Just going to set the player as Jamir Gibbs and we will start
from here with a wide receiver in Round 2, so can kind of just
show you guys a bit of a different build.
All right, so let's begin the draft and like I said, we are on
(13:27):
wide receiver watch in Round 2. I'd love to get a.
Jackson Smith and Jig, but I don't feel like he's getting the
respect. He deserves.
JSN Darnold is more than capableguys of providing the.
Usable wide. Receivers in fantasy.
Jordan Addison, once he got moving last year, was top 20.
Obviously, Justin Jefferson, oneof the best in the game and JSN
(13:47):
last year, I mean wide receiver 9.
And if we were to cherry pick his game log a little bit and
just kind of go from this bye week, I mean, this would be a
top. Five wide receiver so.
That's my guy. That's just my guy, all right.
And he is available there for usin the second round.
So let's go JSN after Jamir Gibbs.
I do prefer. JSN to Macconkey, for example,
and guys, all of my rankings areavailable in the discord link
(14:09):
down below all right in the third round, like I said always.
Always a wide receiver. Tyree kills on the board.
I don't think Tyree killer's watch guys finished last year
wide receiver 18 OK, which is not where we drafted him.
We drafted him in the first round, but finished wide
receiver 18 with a torn wrist ligament.
OK and two a missed six of thosegames pretty insane when you
(14:29):
think about it. So his other two years on the
Dolphins wide receiver. Two and wide receiver two
overall. So I'm I'm willing to give him
another chance here now in the fourth round.
Let's consult the guide. We'll.
Go right. Back to the draft.
Guide here. And you already know before the
RB dead zone, let's grab one of these guys.
OK, Kamara's on the board, get on the team.
Alvin Kamara. So we have Jamir Gibbs and Alvin
Kamara. Who is they?
(14:50):
They're basically the same running back in terms of Kamara
and his prime. I should say.
We have JSN and Tyree Killer, also pretty similar.
And then in the fifth round. Back to the guide.
We are going tight end and wide receiver with these next. 2
picks. So here's where we got to use a
little. Bit of our brain power OK and I
will also real quick guys get rid of my face Cam and stuff so
(15:12):
you can. See the board there it is for.
Those of you who have been upsetfor the last 5 minutes, I'm
sorry, but you can see it now. All right?
So we need a tight end and we need a wide receiver in five and
six. Let's take a look at the wide
receivers. First, Sutton is still there.
OK Smith is there. OK, Olave who I don't.
Love worthy. OK, Waddle.
Pickens, who I love, so I don't think we'll end up getting
(15:34):
Pickens here. As he's the 60th.
Overall ADP, which is the end ofthe 5th, which will go around
here or Jameson Williams and honestly.
We have Gibbs, so I'll probably just go.
Sutton again, guys, that's my third.
Wide receiver He. He's one of my most drafted
players now coming back to us. Sam LaPorte is going to go off
the board. Here, Yeah.
There he goes. Now up coming up here at the end
(15:56):
of the sixth. Travis Kelsey.
Really is the guy we need. So I really, really hope that.
He remains on the. Board, I really hope.
Jonnu Smith is off the board, interestingly enough, and
Kelsey's back so. Guys.
Kelsey in the sixth round. Like it's a good.
Pick as far as when you just look at the tight end position
in general. Travis Kelsey in the late 6th.
(16:18):
Is a good pick. Averaging 10 plus targets.
Back half of the year. OK, I I understand he doesn't do
what he sometimes did. With those.
Targets and those catches, once he actually gets the ball on his
hands, I get that. I get he's like 35 years old.
I get Rashid Rice was out. I understand, but.
If Kelsey gets. 7 plus. Targets 8 plus targets.
He's finishing, He's giving you value on his ADP and plays all
(16:40):
17 games. He's giving you value on his ADP
if he sees that volume on a per game basis.
All right, so we're back in the seventh round 7 and we see.
Just great RB value. As you guys know, Tyrone, Tracy
Henderson's there. We'll go with Swift this time.
All right, so DeAndre Swift is our third RB.
Then coming back into the 8th, we're just going to keep
(17:00):
hammering on these wide receivers or, excuse me, these
QBs in the eighth round. I really hope that one of Nick's
or Murray make it. To us, hopefully that.
Happens. If not, no.
Big deal. It's so easy to stack these
guys, so. Looks like one of them's going
to make it to us. Bonex.
Great. So we have Cortland Sutton on
the team. We'll stack him with Bonex
entering round nine. You guys know the drill.
We have. Three wide.
(17:20):
Receivers and we have 3 running backs on the team, so we have
Gibbs, Kamara and Swift, very strong.
We have JSN Hill and Sutton alsovery strong.
I guess if I had to pick the R BS are a little.
Riskier at this point and we'll just go with.
Ty J Spears. All right.
Taiji Spears in the ninth round.Guys in the fantasy.
Playoffs last year was actually a top. 5 running back or top?
(17:41):
6. Top five or top 6 running back,
but only guys like Gibbs and Taylor really.
Those type of. Players who were just going
crazy to end the season were better than Spears, so very
happy to get him in the ninth. He's younger, a bit more
efficient than Pollard and I think that if.
He sees 5060. Percent of snaps, right?
He could be a big producer. All right, we're just going to
keep balancing here. The wide receivers and running
backs balance it out. We will take a Mecca Igbuka in
(18:04):
the 10th and let's see who comesback to us in the 11th.
Cam Scatabo great get on the squad with these later round.
Picks too. Always.
Try to balance rookies with someguys with a bit more experience,
obviously. A lot of these picks are
rookies. Because we don't know where to
rank them. OK, but always try.
To balance right, if you pick a rookie, maybe look to do a bit
(18:25):
more of a veteran next time. Always just keep balancing guys.
Balance it out. Marvin Mims here is going to be
our pick in the 12th. That wide receiver two job.
In Denver's wide open, I understand I have Cortland
Sutton probably won't ever starttwo of them at the same time,
but won't be starting Mims at all really.
And then last pick here. We will go with.
Isaac Gorendo. Great.
So this draft? Ended a little differently and
(18:47):
than the other one I I still really like the outcome here.
Jamir Gibbs, Alvin Kamara at therunning back position.
We have Bo Nix throwing to Cortland Sutton for a little.
Bit of a. Stack there, but then our other.
Two wide receivers. 2nd and 3rd rounders, Jack and Smith and
Jig, but entirely. Kill we have Travis.
Kelsey who is one of my favoritetight end picks there if you can
get him in the 6th or 7th in theflex.
Already mentioned Sutton. We also have Swift who will be.
(19:07):
Rotating in with Spears. Igbuka Scataboo.
Marvin Mims and Gorendo guys so.That is how you.
Draft around Jamir Gibbs and Fantasy football 2025.
These are league winning teams we're putting together here.
Guys, hope you follow this exactguide for your draft.
It's probably going. To give you a.
Pretty good outcome so I hope you guys enjoyed.
The video today I'd love to keep.
Making these. Specific player builds for. 2025
(19:29):
So if you've enjoyed guys, I'm trying to make one for basically
every player in the first round.Please let me know in the
comments and show some love in the likes department subscribe
department as you guys. Already do.
All right, guys. Peace.
Thank you.
