(00:00):
Guys, we are back with a very anticipated video today.
I am taking every single round of your fantasy football drafts
and giving you the number one best player to draft in every
(00:21):
one of those rounds. Last year, OK, I was all in on
guys like Jackson Smith and Jigba.
A bit later, Jameer Gibbs a bit earlier.
We are going to be talking aboutRound 1 today after all.
Chase Brown also a bit later, Trey McBride, I thought he was
undervalued. So I really hit on a lot of
these, quote, league winning players last year.
Obviously you've heard of JameerGibbs right before.
(00:43):
I told you last year that he hadRB-1 ceiling or to not worry
about David Montgomery. But the majority of people,
right, were ranking Gibbs top 15, but not necessarily top
five. Like I was worrying about David
Montgomery. And then there was Jackson Smith
and Jigba. Oh, Geno Smith can't do 2 wide
receiver ones. DK Metcalf's there.
Then there were Chase Brown. Nah, Zac Moss is there.
(01:04):
They're splitting the backfield.We identified Chase Brown as a
league winner based on fantasy points per touch.
Trey McBride. OK, we were all in.
He was our tight end one last year.
OK, so Long story short, I'm taking you through every single
round. So let's just hop into round
one. And as you guys know, at the end
of the video, we will be mock drafting.
Once, twice. We'll see what time lets us do
(01:25):
OK, but we will be mock draftingand round one, we're not going
to spend too much time on this guy and I'm just I'm not going
to sugarcoat. The best pick in round one, if
you can get him is Bijon Robinson because he has the
highest floor among any running back and still has that best
player in fantasy ceiling. He had the highest weekly RB-1
finish rate among all running backs last year.
(01:46):
Week 6 through 18. So 3/4 is the season.
OK. Highest weekly RB-1 finish rate
last year. RB-1 in 83% of games.
He only had one game as an RB2 and one game worse than RB3 or
worse. OK so every single game other
than two that he played he finished the top 12 running
back. When we compare him to other
(02:06):
running backs, I see him gettingmore work than Jameer Gibbs.
He has obviously more experiencethan Ashton Gente.
My RB3. Less risk historically than
Saquon Barkley who history is suggesting might not have the
RB. One overall best player in
fantasy season. Some people are expecting.
OK, Less injury risk than CMCNHNas we know an honorable mention
here. We're going to give an honorable
mention it just in case you can't get your hands on a guy
(02:27):
like Bijon in round one or some of these guys in any round.
If they're gone, we'll give an honorable mention for round one.
Any hero wide receiver, like really it's Bijon, I guess Gibbs
too, and any hero wide receiver where you can run the hero wide
receiver strategy. I have a video uploaded on that.
Check my channel out. OK, let's get into some not so
obvious guys. OK, now in round two, could go a
(02:48):
lot of different ways, but my best round two pick is Devon A
Chan simply because last year with Tua, 22.6 fantasy points
per game, most among all runningbacks, the best running back in
fantasy with Tua under center last year, he has the most
fantasy points per touch. We talked about Chase Brown a
little bit before. That's a very important metric
that I love. Fantasy points per touch.
(03:10):
He has the most among all running backs over the last two
seasons. Honorable mentions in this
round, I do have Trey McBride and Josh Jacobs.
All right now round 3, Chase Brown is the best pick in round
three. He is the clear Bengals running
back one last year in that role he was seeing over 24 total
opportunities. That's insane.
He was playing 85% of snaps minimum per game, 20.6 PPR
(03:33):
points and was the RB three overall in fantasy football.
So he's supposed to step right into this role again as a three
down monster in one of the best offenses in the NFL, if not the
best offense in the NFL. Burrow loves throwing guys.
They throw more than any offensein the NFL and a lot of those
passes go to Chase Brown. So it's kind of giving me like
prime Alvin Kamara vibes, I won't lie.
And I do have him as a dark horse to finish RB one overall.
(03:57):
Now in round 4, this player, oh,excuse me, I skipped the
honorable mention. I do have Garrett Wilson in the
third round as an honorable mention.
Think he's as good if not betterthan a lot of the wide receivers
going in Round 2. Drake London, Mcconkey, A.J.
Brown, I have him in that tier and you can get him in round
three. OK, Round 4 is Rashi Rice.
Now I understand Rashi Rice is going in the third round in a
lot of places on sleeper ESPN home leagues.
(04:19):
He's going in the 4th. If he's going in the third, I
like him there too. If you can get him in the
fourth, awesome. OK, Last nine healthy games
played, he was a wide receiver 2or better than 88% of them,
which is insane. That floor is insane.
Elite floor. He can challenge for the wide
receiver one overall in 2025 if a couple things happen.
I'm talking the best wide receiver in fantasy.
(04:39):
If these things happen, he needsto continue to be the clear
Kansas City wide receiver 1. He hasn't played in basically a
whole season, after all, so we need to see how he's integrated
when he comes back. The Chiefs need to score more
points on offense, so maybe the defense gets a little worse.
Doesn't look like it's likely. Maybe the offense philosophy
shifts a little bit. We've seen Mahomes kind of speak
out that he wants to air the ball out a little bit more.
(05:00):
That'd be great. OK.
And he needs to steal some targets from Kelsey.
Kelsey was averaging 10 plus targets last year to close the
season back half of the season. So we'll see if all those things
happen. Yes, he could challenge for
wider Super One overall. As the honorable mention, I do
have a Marian Hampton OK with the Naji injury news, but even
before that, Hampton is really, really a true 3 down workhorse.
(05:23):
We've seen it in multiple years in college and that's what the
Chargers need and want it. Running back Harbaugh wants
that. So I'm all in on Hampton.
OK in round 5. The best pick, honestly maybe
the best pick in drafts just because of how cheap right is
Courtland Sutton. I think he is the most
disrespected wide receiver in all of fantasy this year.
Last year, weeks 8 through 1818 fantasy points per game, it was
(05:45):
wide receiver 79 plus targets and eight out of 10 games
played. So he literally already is a
wide receiver one, and there's no true Denver wide receiver 2.
So no one's gonna be competing with him for these targets like
Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin, maybe Pat Bryant, right?
But I don't see any of these guys coming in averaging 7 plus
targets a game. Like if Sutton doesn't have 10
plus targets a game, I'll be pretty surprised.
(06:07):
All right, Honor will mention inround 5 is Sam Laporta.
In round 6th is George Pickens. The best pick in round 6 is
George Pickens. He's going honestly late round
5, so if you can get him in six,that's awesome.
If not, I'll tell you the honorable mention, but I'm fine
taking Pickens in in the late 5th as well.
The Cowboys are top 10, have been top ten in total wide
(06:30):
receiver fantasy points in five of the last six seasons.
Now in 2025, he's entering the prime of his career.
This is the best offense, best quarterback of his career.
So Pickens and Lamb in my opinion could be rivaling
Higgins and Chase for the best duo for fantasy football
purposes. In years past we thought it was
Waddle and Hill. I'm kind of getting these vibes
from Pickens and Lamb. OK, honorable mention the six
Travis Kelce, we just talked about him 10 plus targets per
(06:52):
game to close the season back half of the season last year.
I know he's old. I know Rashi Rice isn't around
anymore, but or wasn't around last season.
He is around now and coming back.
I get all that. But this is the best fantasy
tight end of all time, Travis Kelce.
If he sees 7 plus targets, 8 plus targets from tight end
position like in the sixth roundguys, sometimes 7th, it's a
value. Like he doesn't have to be prime
(07:12):
Kelsey for you to still enjoy drafting him.
OK in round 7. Now this is a little outdated,
but I left it in here to just discuss the Browns backfield.
So previously, like a week ago, Quinshawn Judkins was the best
pick in round 7 and I'll tell you why and then we'll talk a
little bit about the legal situation.
So the Cleveland Browns vacated 51% of their RB opportunities
(07:35):
just in guys moving on to other teams, the RB competition is
Samson Strong and Ford. We'll talk specifically about
Samson and Ford. I do view Samson and Ford now as
kind of the lead R BS in the backfield.
I guess. I mean, Quinton Judkins is
likely to miss some time, whether it's this year, next
year, whatever it is. This really damages the recent
(07:56):
allegations, really, or the arrest, I guess, really damage
his value for Dynasty more than redraft.
If you can get Judkins in like the ninth round now in redraft,
that's cool. I don't think he misses the
whole season. I don't know if it'll even be
this season. I don't really know, OK.
But what it does do is raise Dylan Sampson a lot in drafts.
Dylan Sampson's 20 years old running backs who are drafted at
(08:18):
age 20 are typically very successful early in their
careers, efficient given more opportunities, do great things
with those opportunities. There's a lot of data behind
that, OK, very high percentage of 20 back 20 year old running
backs do well to start the season.
Now Jerome Ford is also pretty good.
He produced for fantasy at RB2 levels last year as the lead guy
(08:39):
in Cleveland. So Samson and Ford become
viable. Judkins, no, is no longer OK,
the best pick in round 7. So we will go to the honorable
mention who is DeAndre Swift andit's kind of similar.
There's a couple RBS there in Detroit, but Ben Johnson's now
the head coach. When he was OC in Detroit, we
saw Montgomery Gibbs. They were averaging like 35
total opportunities between the two of them.
(09:00):
So 30 plus running back opportunities in a Johnson
offense, guys in a Ben Johnson offense, and I know he's the
head coach. It's going to translate to the
offense we've seen it with, likeMcVeigh, for example, McDaniels.
So DeAndre Swift in Round 7 is pretty awesome.
All right now Round 8, Bonex is the best pick in Round 8.
So it took him about four weeks to get comfortable in the NFL.
(09:22):
And when people are evaluating Bone Nix for this year, they're
just including his first four games, which like, honestly, I,
I guess maybe I'm guilty of likebox score picking, but why would
I include four weeks where he was adjusting to the NFL his
first four games of his career when they were clearly so much
worse than, you know, weeks 5 through 18.
So for weeks 5 through 18 from that point on, after those four
(09:44):
games where he's getting adjusted as an NFL starter, 21.4
fantasy points per game, that's QB 6.
I'll give you a hint, he's goingnowhere near that.
And draft's going like QB 10330 plus point game.
So he has a monster ceiling. One of only a couple QBs to
score 330 plus point games in the back half the season.
Lamar Allen's like those type ofnames, all right, And he ranked
(10:06):
top ten among all QBs in rush yards, rush yards, guys
completions, attempts, past touchdowns, expected points per
game. So Bone Nix is really a value QB
one in round 8. Honorable mention here is Jacoby
Myers, one of only one or two receivers, OK, who averaged 9
plus targets last year and didn't finish as a top ten, top
(10:27):
12 wide receivers. So Jacoby Myers is absolutely a
must draft. And then in round nine guys,
we'll rapid fire rounds 9 through 14.
In round 9, Josh Downs, honorable mention Travis
Etienne. In round 10, Taije Spears,
honorable mention Keon Coleman. In round 11, Justin Fields
honorable mention Jaden Higgins.In round 12, Marquis Brown
honorable mention JK Dobbins. In round 13, Jordan Mason
(10:50):
honorable mention Jayden Blue. In round 14, Ray Davis,
honorable mention Dylan Sampson,who we just talked about.
He should be going now in that 1112 round range.
So let's hop over to Sleeper. OK, let's hop into some of these
drafts. Let's do a random start here and
see what we can do. So we'll start the draft.
We're given the 5th pick overall.
Obviously in round one, it is Bijan.
(11:12):
He's off the board. OK, so right now, somehow Jamar
has fallen. I'm, I'm not going to pick Jamar
at 1:05 just because it's not realistic.
But Gibbs is there. That's realistic.
Lamb is there. That's realistic.
Now, the best target in round two.
Let's try to plan ahead a littlebit.
If we go back to the guy was a Chan, I don't think he'll make
it, but maybe Josh Jacobs or McBride will.
(11:32):
With that being said, yeah, we should probably just go ahead
and draft CD Lamb to keep it realistic, OK.
And that's what we will do. Let me get this thread back up.
OK, so in round two, we are on aChan McBride and Jacob's watch.
Let's see who makes to us. I believe Jacobs will be there.
A Chan goes at the two O 5, thenGenti two O 6, McBride two O 7's
(11:53):
con. But yeah, we do have Josh Jacobs
guys on the board. Christian McCaffrey is on the
board too. I would be going with McCaffrey.
I don't think he's following this far in real life.
So let's take Josh Jacobs. You can normally always get him,
always can get Josh Jacobs in the second.
You know, he's kind of going in the top of third and Long story
short, guys back half of the season, really only Saquon was
(12:14):
better from basically Week 7 on.I mean, I'm looking at a game
log here from Week 7 to 16 wherethere's only one game under 20
points and looking at the competition in the backfield.
Marshawn Lloyd, who maybe right,we we don't really know yet, but
Emmanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks, like there's not much
here. The offense is good.
The old line is good. We're projecting for 300 plus
(12:35):
touches. So yes, Josh Jacobs, strong RB
one there. All right, we're back up in the
third round. The guide suggests Chase Brown,
Garrett Wilson. These are some guys we could be
looking for here in Round 3. Sure enough, Chase Brown's on
the board. Let's do it.
So CD Lamb, Josh Jacobs and Chase Brown through the 1st 3
rounds. OK, we're running a bit of a
hero wide receiver strategy here, which is fun.
(12:58):
Let's see how it goes. We'll lean on Lamb.
We'll wait to draft wide receiver until there's a real
value on the board And then in round 4, back to the guide.
Rashi Rice, Amarian Hampton are some guys we're looking out for.
Amarian is on the board. Rashi Rice is off the board.
OK, let's go ahead and draft ourguy Amarian Hampton and I will
(13:19):
go put my face Cam back on. Hopefully you guys clocked those
picks there. OK, perfect.
We are back now in the fifth round.
Courtland Sutton goes one pick ahead of us.
Believe he was our pick. He was, we do like Laporta here.
We don't have a tight end. Let's take a look at Laporta.
He's off the board when at the 411, nice and early.
(13:43):
His ADP is like 5554 if I remember correctly, guys.
So it's a bit of a bummer to saythe least.
And hold on, I'm just sorting something out here, guys with my
screen. OK, so in the fifth round, now
that Laporta's gone, let's take a look at the honorable mention.
Oh, he was the honorable mentionand Sutton was the pick.
So crap. All right, we got to make do
(14:04):
here. Let's see who is available.
Hawkinson is available. Might take him.
You know the wide receivers. I don't love Zay Flowers,
Devonta Smith, Olave I I don't love that range.
James Conner is an awesome pick,but we have 3 running backs.
Yeah, let's just keep leaning here.
Let's just keep leaning here on our wide receiver CD Lamb, our
hero and graph TJ Hawkinson hereis going to be our draft 49th
(14:25):
overall ADP getting him in the mid 5th.
I really like what Hawk does year in and year out when he's
healthy. Just a target monster.
Always an underrated player, butproduces when healthy when
everything's working like a veryhigh end tight end 1.
So I'm in on him there. We're back in the 6th.
What does the guy suggest? We're looking at George Pickens
and Travis Kelsey. We don't need Kelsey.
Maybe Pickens is available, he is not.
(14:47):
OK, so Pickens went where did hego 2 picks before us?
So as you can see, you're not guaranteed these players.
That's why it's like a very ideal scenario.
All right, and it is a bit of a less of a draft guide this post.
It's more of a if you can get these guys, do it and try to
build around them. OK, so at the six O 8 I'm now
we're going to start looking at the wide receivers.
(15:08):
We have a tight end. I don't love the running backs,
Harvey, Tracy Pollard. I'm good.
Let's take Ted McMillan here as our wide receiver too.
Last season, guys, to close the year, Bryce Young really showed
that he could produce, OK, produce fantasy wide receivers.
He was very good to close the year.
Bryce Young a top ten QB for fantasy purposes in the 7th.
(15:29):
We'll go right back with another.
We'll take Jacoby Myers who madethe guide as an honorable
mention here and we're early on him, but that's OK.
We're we're through round 7:00 and 8:00 and we'll keep looking
here. Going into round nine, we passed
up the QB there, but maybe we can still get him in nine.
Bonex is still on the board or this is Round 8.
(15:51):
So we'll take Bonex. And yeah, the team is yeah, the
team is cooking guys. Let's take a look at it through
8 rounds here. Very good team.
Bonex at QB, Josh Jacobs and Chase Brown at RBCD, Lam and Ted
McMillan at receiver, Hawkinson at tight end, Hampton and Myers
in the flex. OK, so now we'll keep going to
(16:11):
the wide receiver. Well, we leaned heavily on CD
Lam, we have McMillan and Myers,that that core is certainly
weaker than our R BS. So we'll just keep leaning on
him. Matthew Golden, welcome to the
team. All right, new rookie in Green
Bay. Welcome to the squad, Matthew
Golden. And I'm probably just going to
stay at wide receiver. I I think our running backs are
very strong. Jacobs, Brown and Hampton and
(16:33):
this range of wide receivers guys, Matthew Golden, Darnell
Mooney, Keon Coleman, McMillan, Jennings, IGBUCA.
I mean, there's not a single name I don't like there.
So we'll go back. We'll just draft Darnell Mooney.
Sometimes you guys has seen me draft IGBUCA, sometimes it's
Jennings. It doesn't matter.
All these guys are monsters. Maybe we got Jennings here.
We do. Welcome to the team.
So now we're just high upside wide receivers here, Mooney,
(16:54):
Jennings, Golden and we're just getting them late in this next
pick here at the 12th, we can goahead and begin to look at a
running back. We have Austin Eckler, who was
only one of three R BS to average over 1 fantasy point per
touch last year and half PPR. So that's a big metric in the
12th rounds here and there. You can get some flex value out
of him. I like the pick and finally the
(17:16):
13th pick in the draft guys, we will go with Kyle Williams.
Perfect. So that team, that team ended
very nicely. As I said before, Jacobs and
Brown at running back, two top 12 guys for me.
Bone Nix at QB, absolute value and draft.
You have CD Lamb and Ted McMillan in the wide receiver
one and wide receiver two spot. We have TJ Hawkinson at tight
(17:37):
end and Marion Hampton and Jacoby Myers in the two flex box
and they're balancing right in. All right, moving in for those
guys at flex, Matthew Golden, Darnell Mooney, Jawan Jennings,
Austin Eckler, Kyle Williams. Now guys one thing I wanted to
mention is with this kind of guide here of best pick right in
every round, a place like fast draft where check the link in
(18:00):
the bio guys use code no expert.When you're signing up you get
50 bucks up to $50.00 deposit match.
This is the best place to draft best ball.
I prefer to other best ball outlets because it's ten team
drafts. It's a third round reversal.
It's very fair. You can draft really good teams
and let's just take a look at some guys I'm viewing as values
guys for fast draft. So right away, Jamir Gibbs at
(18:23):
the six. I have him ahead of Justin
Jefferson. I have him ahead of Saquon
Barkley. I would take Jamir at one O 3.
So on fast draft, you can go snag Jamir at one O 6.
Pretty insane. Let's keep looking now into the
second round. Devon a chance, 17th overall,
clear value. I love Trey McBride at 21
overall, that's awesome. Jacobs and Brown in in the
(18:43):
second round, 2 great picks and there's Rasheed race guys first
pick in the third round. So he's going to be tough to get
your hands on if you can. I do like to pick even that
high. JSN at 30 overall on fast draft
is a value. So like when I draft my team
over here it it's so quick, hence the name fast draft.
You just draft real quick. JSN at 30 overall, if I'm
(19:03):
getting him in the third round, that is an absolute value.
Kyron, the last pick in the third, Tyreke Hill in the fourth
round. I've both of those guys, top ten
at their position. We're going, we're talking
fourth round or so. Definitely get over to fast
draft guys. It's so easy to draft.
It's actually really fun. Not a ton of people on the app,
so there's not a lot of like super grinders who are
(19:26):
memorizing week 17 match ups. It's total point scoring on the
season. It's best ball total points, so
you don't have to worry about match ups, which I love.
It's awesome. So anyway, guys, code no expert
when you're signing up up to $50match, that's 2 1/2 free drafts.
No brainer. But anyway, guys, I hope you
enjoyed the video today. I will catch you next time.
Guys, we are back with a very anticipated video today.
I am taking every single round of your fantasy football drafts
and giving you the number one best player to draft in every
(00:21):
one of those rounds. Last year, OK, I was all in on
guys like Jackson Smith and Jigba.
A bit later, Jameer Gibbs a bit earlier.
We are going to be talking aboutRound 1 today after all.
Chase Brown also a bit later, Trey McBride, I thought he was
undervalued. So I really hit on a lot of
these, quote, league winning players last year.
Obviously you've heard of JameerGibbs right before.
(00:43):
I told you last year that he hadRB-1 ceiling or to not worry
about David Montgomery. But the majority of people,
right, were ranking Gibbs top 15, but not necessarily top
five. Like I was worrying about David
Montgomery. And then there was Jackson Smith
and Jigba. Oh, Geno Smith can't do 2 wide
receiver ones. DK Metcalf's there.
Then there were Chase Brown. Nah, Zac Moss is there.
(01:04):
They're splitting the backfield.We identified Chase Brown as a
league winner based on fantasy points per touch.
Trey McBride. OK, we were all in.
He was our tight end one last year.
OK, so Long story short, I'm taking you through every single
round. So let's just hop into round
one. And as you guys know, at the end
of the video, we will be mock drafting.
Once, twice. We'll see what time lets us do
(01:25):
OK, but we will be mock draftingand round one, we're not going
to spend too much time on this guy and I'm just I'm not going
to sugarcoat. The best pick in round one, if
you can get him is Bijon Robinson because he has the
highest floor among any running back and still has that best
player in fantasy ceiling. He had the highest weekly RB-1
finish rate among all running backs last year.
(01:46):
Week 6 through 18. So 3/4 is the season.
OK. Highest weekly RB-1 finish rate
last year. RB-1 in 83% of games.
He only had one game as an RB2 and one game worse than RB3 or
worse. OK so every single game other
than two that he played he finished the top 12 running
back. When we compare him to other
(02:06):
running backs, I see him gettingmore work than Jameer Gibbs.
He has obviously more experiencethan Ashton Gente.
My RB3. Less risk historically than
Saquon Barkley who history is suggesting might not have the
RB. One overall best player in
fantasy season. Some people are expecting.
OK, Less injury risk than CMCNHNas we know an honorable mention
here. We're going to give an honorable
mention it just in case you can't get your hands on a guy
(02:27):
like Bijon in round one or some of these guys in any round.
If they're gone, we'll give an honorable mention for round one.
Any hero wide receiver, like really it's Bijon, I guess Gibbs
too, and any hero wide receiver where you can run the hero wide
receiver strategy. I have a video uploaded on that.
Check my channel out. OK, let's get into some not so
obvious guys. OK, now in round two, could go a
(02:48):
lot of different ways, but my best round two pick is Devon A
Chan simply because last year with Tua, 22.6 fantasy points
per game, most among all runningbacks, the best running back in
fantasy with Tua under center last year, he has the most
fantasy points per touch. We talked about Chase Brown a
little bit before. That's a very important metric
that I love. Fantasy points per touch.
(03:10):
He has the most among all running backs over the last two
seasons. Honorable mentions in this
round, I do have Trey McBride and Josh Jacobs.
All right now round 3, Chase Brown is the best pick in round
three. He is the clear Bengals running
back one last year in that role he was seeing over 24 total
opportunities. That's insane.
He was playing 85% of snaps minimum per game, 20.6 PPR
(03:33):
points and was the RB three overall in fantasy football.
So he's supposed to step right into this role again as a three
down monster in one of the best offenses in the NFL, if not the
best offense in the NFL. Burrow loves throwing guys.
They throw more than any offensein the NFL and a lot of those
passes go to Chase Brown. So it's kind of giving me like
prime Alvin Kamara vibes, I won't lie.
And I do have him as a dark horse to finish RB one overall.
(03:57):
Now in round 4, this player, oh,excuse me, I skipped the
honorable mention. I do have Garrett Wilson in the
third round as an honorable mention.
Think he's as good if not betterthan a lot of the wide receivers
going in Round 2. Drake London, Mcconkey, A.J.
Brown, I have him in that tier and you can get him in round
three. OK, Round 4 is Rashi Rice.
Now I understand Rashi Rice is going in the third round in a
lot of places on sleeper ESPN home leagues.
(04:19):
He's going in the 4th. If he's going in the third, I
like him there too. If you can get him in the
fourth, awesome. OK, Last nine healthy games
played, he was a wide receiver 2or better than 88% of them,
which is insane. That floor is insane.
Elite floor. He can challenge for the wide
receiver one overall in 2025 if a couple things happen.
I'm talking the best wide receiver in fantasy.
(04:39):
If these things happen, he needsto continue to be the clear
Kansas City wide receiver 1. He hasn't played in basically a
whole season, after all, so we need to see how he's integrated
when he comes back. The Chiefs need to score more
points on offense, so maybe the defense gets a little worse.
Doesn't look like it's likely. Maybe the offense philosophy
shifts a little bit. We've seen Mahomes kind of speak
out that he wants to air the ball out a little bit more.
(05:00):
That'd be great. OK.
And he needs to steal some targets from Kelsey.
Kelsey was averaging 10 plus targets last year to close the
season back half of the season. So we'll see if all those things
happen. Yes, he could challenge for
wider Super One overall. As the honorable mention, I do
have a Marian Hampton OK with the Naji injury news, but even
before that, Hampton is really, really a true 3 down workhorse.
(05:23):
We've seen it in multiple years in college and that's what the
Chargers need and want it. Running back Harbaugh wants
that. So I'm all in on Hampton.
OK in round 5. The best pick, honestly maybe
the best pick in drafts just because of how cheap right is
Courtland Sutton. I think he is the most
disrespected wide receiver in all of fantasy this year.
Last year, weeks 8 through 1818 fantasy points per game, it was
(05:45):
wide receiver 79 plus targets and eight out of 10 games
played. So he literally already is a
wide receiver one, and there's no true Denver wide receiver 2.
So no one's gonna be competing with him for these targets like
Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin, maybe Pat Bryant, right?
But I don't see any of these guys coming in averaging 7 plus
targets a game. Like if Sutton doesn't have 10
plus targets a game, I'll be pretty surprised.
(06:07):
All right, Honor will mention inround 5 is Sam Laporta.
In round 6th is George Pickens. The best pick in round 6 is
George Pickens. He's going honestly late round
5, so if you can get him in six,that's awesome.
If not, I'll tell you the honorable mention, but I'm fine
taking Pickens in in the late 5th as well.
The Cowboys are top 10, have been top ten in total wide
(06:30):
receiver fantasy points in five of the last six seasons.
Now in 2025, he's entering the prime of his career.
This is the best offense, best quarterback of his career.
So Pickens and Lamb in my opinion could be rivaling
Higgins and Chase for the best duo for fantasy football
purposes. In years past we thought it was
Waddle and Hill. I'm kind of getting these vibes
from Pickens and Lamb. OK, honorable mention the six
Travis Kelce, we just talked about him 10 plus targets per
(06:52):
game to close the season back half of the season last year.
I know he's old. I know Rashi Rice isn't around
anymore, but or wasn't around last season.
He is around now and coming back.
I get all that. But this is the best fantasy
tight end of all time, Travis Kelce.
If he sees 7 plus targets, 8 plus targets from tight end
position like in the sixth roundguys, sometimes 7th, it's a
value. Like he doesn't have to be prime
(07:12):
Kelsey for you to still enjoy drafting him.
OK in round 7. Now this is a little outdated,
but I left it in here to just discuss the Browns backfield.
So previously, like a week ago, Quinshawn Judkins was the best
pick in round 7 and I'll tell you why and then we'll talk a
little bit about the legal situation.
So the Cleveland Browns vacated 51% of their RB opportunities
(07:35):
just in guys moving on to other teams, the RB competition is
Samson Strong and Ford. We'll talk specifically about
Samson and Ford. I do view Samson and Ford now as
kind of the lead R BS in the backfield.
I guess. I mean, Quinton Judkins is
likely to miss some time, whether it's this year, next
year, whatever it is. This really damages the recent
(07:56):
allegations, really, or the arrest, I guess, really damage
his value for Dynasty more than redraft.
If you can get Judkins in like the ninth round now in redraft,
that's cool. I don't think he misses the
whole season. I don't know if it'll even be
this season. I don't really know, OK.
But what it does do is raise Dylan Sampson a lot in drafts.
Dylan Sampson's 20 years old running backs who are drafted at
(08:18):
age 20 are typically very successful early in their
careers, efficient given more opportunities, do great things
with those opportunities. There's a lot of data behind
that, OK, very high percentage of 20 back 20 year old running
backs do well to start the season.
Now Jerome Ford is also pretty good.
He produced for fantasy at RB2 levels last year as the lead guy
(08:39):
in Cleveland. So Samson and Ford become
viable. Judkins, no, is no longer OK,
the best pick in round 7. So we will go to the honorable
mention who is DeAndre Swift andit's kind of similar.
There's a couple RBS there in Detroit, but Ben Johnson's now
the head coach. When he was OC in Detroit, we
saw Montgomery Gibbs. They were averaging like 35
total opportunities between the two of them.
(09:00):
So 30 plus running back opportunities in a Johnson
offense, guys in a Ben Johnson offense, and I know he's the
head coach. It's going to translate to the
offense we've seen it with, likeMcVeigh, for example, McDaniels.
So DeAndre Swift in Round 7 is pretty awesome.
All right now Round 8, Bonex is the best pick in Round 8.
So it took him about four weeks to get comfortable in the NFL.
(09:22):
And when people are evaluating Bone Nix for this year, they're
just including his first four games, which like, honestly, I,
I guess maybe I'm guilty of likebox score picking, but why would
I include four weeks where he was adjusting to the NFL his
first four games of his career when they were clearly so much
worse than, you know, weeks 5 through 18.
So for weeks 5 through 18 from that point on, after those four
(09:44):
games where he's getting adjusted as an NFL starter, 21.4
fantasy points per game, that's QB 6.
I'll give you a hint, he's goingnowhere near that.
And draft's going like QB 10330 plus point game.
So he has a monster ceiling. One of only a couple QBs to
score 330 plus point games in the back half the season.
Lamar Allen's like those type ofnames, all right, And he ranked
(10:06):
top ten among all QBs in rush yards, rush yards, guys
completions, attempts, past touchdowns, expected points per
game. So Bone Nix is really a value QB
one in round 8. Honorable mention here is Jacoby
Myers, one of only one or two receivers, OK, who averaged 9
plus targets last year and didn't finish as a top ten, top
(10:27):
12 wide receivers. So Jacoby Myers is absolutely a
must draft. And then in round nine guys,
we'll rapid fire rounds 9 through 14.
In round 9, Josh Downs, honorable mention Travis
Etienne. In round 10, Taije Spears,
honorable mention Keon Coleman. In round 11, Justin Fields
honorable mention Jaden Higgins.In round 12, Marquis Brown
honorable mention JK Dobbins. In round 13, Jordan Mason
(10:50):
honorable mention Jayden Blue. In round 14, Ray Davis,
honorable mention Dylan Sampson,who we just talked about.
He should be going now in that 1112 round range.
So let's hop over to Sleeper. OK, let's hop into some of these
drafts. Let's do a random start here and
see what we can do. So we'll start the draft.
We're given the 5th pick overall.
Obviously in round one, it is Bijan.
(11:12):
He's off the board. OK, so right now, somehow Jamar
has fallen. I'm, I'm not going to pick Jamar
at 1:05 just because it's not realistic.
But Gibbs is there. That's realistic.
Lamb is there. That's realistic.
Now, the best target in round two.
Let's try to plan ahead a littlebit.
If we go back to the guy was a Chan, I don't think he'll make
it, but maybe Josh Jacobs or McBride will.
(11:32):
With that being said, yeah, we should probably just go ahead
and draft CD Lamb to keep it realistic, OK.
And that's what we will do. Let me get this thread back up.
OK, so in round two, we are on aChan McBride and Jacob's watch.
Let's see who makes to us. I believe Jacobs will be there.
A Chan goes at the two O 5, thenGenti two O 6, McBride two O 7's
(11:53):
con. But yeah, we do have Josh Jacobs
guys on the board. Christian McCaffrey is on the
board too. I would be going with McCaffrey.
I don't think he's following this far in real life.
So let's take Josh Jacobs. You can normally always get him,
always can get Josh Jacobs in the second.
You know, he's kind of going in the top of third and Long story
short, guys back half of the season, really only Saquon was
(12:14):
better from basically Week 7 on.I mean, I'm looking at a game
log here from Week 7 to 16 wherethere's only one game under 20
points and looking at the competition in the backfield.
Marshawn Lloyd, who maybe right,we we don't really know yet, but
Emmanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks, like there's not much
here. The offense is good.
The old line is good. We're projecting for 300 plus
(12:35):
touches. So yes, Josh Jacobs, strong RB
one there. All right, we're back up in the
third round. The guide suggests Chase Brown,
Garrett Wilson. These are some guys we could be
looking for here in Round 3. Sure enough, Chase Brown's on
the board. Let's do it.
So CD Lamb, Josh Jacobs and Chase Brown through the 1st 3
rounds. OK, we're running a bit of a
hero wide receiver strategy here, which is fun.
(12:58):
Let's see how it goes. We'll lean on Lamb.
We'll wait to draft wide receiver until there's a real
value on the board And then in round 4, back to the guide.
Rashi Rice, Amarian Hampton are some guys we're looking out for.
Amarian is on the board. Rashi Rice is off the board.
OK, let's go ahead and draft ourguy Amarian Hampton and I will
(13:19):
go put my face Cam back on. Hopefully you guys clocked those
picks there. OK, perfect.
We are back now in the fifth round.
Courtland Sutton goes one pick ahead of us.
Believe he was our pick. He was, we do like Laporta here.
We don't have a tight end. Let's take a look at Laporta.
He's off the board when at the 411, nice and early.
(13:43):
His ADP is like 5554 if I remember correctly, guys.
So it's a bit of a bummer to saythe least.
And hold on, I'm just sorting something out here, guys with my
screen. OK, so in the fifth round, now
that Laporta's gone, let's take a look at the honorable mention.
Oh, he was the honorable mentionand Sutton was the pick.
So crap. All right, we got to make do
(14:04):
here. Let's see who is available.
Hawkinson is available. Might take him.
You know the wide receivers. I don't love Zay Flowers,
Devonta Smith, Olave I I don't love that range.
James Conner is an awesome pick,but we have 3 running backs.
Yeah, let's just keep leaning here.
Let's just keep leaning here on our wide receiver CD Lamb, our
hero and graph TJ Hawkinson hereis going to be our draft 49th
(14:25):
overall ADP getting him in the mid 5th.
I really like what Hawk does year in and year out when he's
healthy. Just a target monster.
Always an underrated player, butproduces when healthy when
everything's working like a veryhigh end tight end 1.
So I'm in on him there. We're back in the 6th.
What does the guy suggest? We're looking at George Pickens
and Travis Kelsey. We don't need Kelsey.
Maybe Pickens is available, he is not.
(14:47):
OK, so Pickens went where did hego 2 picks before us?
So as you can see, you're not guaranteed these players.
That's why it's like a very ideal scenario.
All right, and it is a bit of a less of a draft guide this post.
It's more of a if you can get these guys, do it and try to
build around them. OK, so at the six O 8 I'm now
we're going to start looking at the wide receivers.
(15:08):
We have a tight end. I don't love the running backs,
Harvey, Tracy Pollard. I'm good.
Let's take Ted McMillan here as our wide receiver too.
Last season, guys, to close the year, Bryce Young really showed
that he could produce, OK, produce fantasy wide receivers.
He was very good to close the year.
Bryce Young a top ten QB for fantasy purposes in the 7th.
(15:29):
We'll go right back with another.
We'll take Jacoby Myers who madethe guide as an honorable
mention here and we're early on him, but that's OK.
We're we're through round 7:00 and 8:00 and we'll keep looking
here. Going into round nine, we passed
up the QB there, but maybe we can still get him in nine.
Bonex is still on the board or this is Round 8.
(15:51):
So we'll take Bonex. And yeah, the team is yeah, the
team is cooking guys. Let's take a look at it through
8 rounds here. Very good team.
Bonex at QB, Josh Jacobs and Chase Brown at RBCD, Lam and Ted
McMillan at receiver, Hawkinson at tight end, Hampton and Myers
in the flex. OK, so now we'll keep going to
(16:11):
the wide receiver. Well, we leaned heavily on CD
Lam, we have McMillan and Myers,that that core is certainly
weaker than our R BS. So we'll just keep leaning on
him. Matthew Golden, welcome to the
team. All right, new rookie in Green
Bay. Welcome to the squad, Matthew
Golden. And I'm probably just going to
stay at wide receiver. I I think our running backs are
very strong. Jacobs, Brown and Hampton and
(16:33):
this range of wide receivers guys, Matthew Golden, Darnell
Mooney, Keon Coleman, McMillan, Jennings, IGBUCA.
I mean, there's not a single name I don't like there.
So we'll go back. We'll just draft Darnell Mooney.
Sometimes you guys has seen me draft IGBUCA, sometimes it's
Jennings. It doesn't matter.
All these guys are monsters. Maybe we got Jennings here.
We do. Welcome to the team.
So now we're just high upside wide receivers here, Mooney,
(16:54):
Jennings, Golden and we're just getting them late in this next
pick here at the 12th, we can goahead and begin to look at a
running back. We have Austin Eckler, who was
only one of three R BS to average over 1 fantasy point per
touch last year and half PPR. So that's a big metric in the
12th rounds here and there. You can get some flex value out
of him. I like the pick and finally the
(17:16):
13th pick in the draft guys, we will go with Kyle Williams.
Perfect. So that team, that team ended
very nicely. As I said before, Jacobs and
Brown at running back, two top 12 guys for me.
Bone Nix at QB, absolute value and draft.
You have CD Lamb and Ted McMillan in the wide receiver
one and wide receiver two spot. We have TJ Hawkinson at tight
(17:37):
end and Marion Hampton and Jacoby Myers in the two flex box
and they're balancing right in. All right, moving in for those
guys at flex, Matthew Golden, Darnell Mooney, Jawan Jennings,
Austin Eckler, Kyle Williams. Now guys one thing I wanted to
mention is with this kind of guide here of best pick right in
every round, a place like fast draft where check the link in
(18:00):
the bio guys use code no expert.When you're signing up you get
50 bucks up to $50.00 deposit match.
This is the best place to draft best ball.
I prefer to other best ball outlets because it's ten team
drafts. It's a third round reversal.
It's very fair. You can draft really good teams
and let's just take a look at some guys I'm viewing as values
guys for fast draft. So right away, Jamir Gibbs at
(18:23):
the six. I have him ahead of Justin
Jefferson. I have him ahead of Saquon
Barkley. I would take Jamir at one O 3.
So on fast draft, you can go snag Jamir at one O 6.
Pretty insane. Let's keep looking now into the
second round. Devon a chance, 17th overall,
clear value. I love Trey McBride at 21
overall, that's awesome. Jacobs and Brown in in the
(18:43):
second round, 2 great picks and there's Rasheed race guys first
pick in the third round. So he's going to be tough to get
your hands on if you can. I do like to pick even that
high. JSN at 30 overall on fast draft
is a value. So like when I draft my team
over here it it's so quick, hence the name fast draft.
You just draft real quick. JSN at 30 overall, if I'm
(19:03):
getting him in the third round, that is an absolute value.
Kyron, the last pick in the third, Tyreke Hill in the fourth
round. I've both of those guys, top ten
at their position. We're going, we're talking
fourth round or so. Definitely get over to fast
draft guys. It's so easy to draft.
It's actually really fun. Not a ton of people on the app,
so there's not a lot of like super grinders who are
(19:26):
memorizing week 17 match ups. It's total point scoring on the
season. It's best ball total points, so
you don't have to worry about match ups, which I love.
It's awesome. So anyway, guys, code no expert
when you're signing up up to $50match, that's 2 1/2 free drafts.
No brainer. But anyway, guys, I hope you
enjoyed the video today. I will catch you next time.
