We'd love to talk, business. We are back. We are drafting once again. Shout out to the Fantasy Points YouTube subscribers. This is YouTube only program. Scott Barrett and I are joined by the great Rich Rebar. Rich, you joined us on a bunch of school of Scots this off season. And we're going to reward you with a million dollars.

We're going to split it three ways. It's going to be awesome. We're in the seven spot. Scott, this is a spot we haven't drafted in yet. So this will be fun. Rich, how are you doing tonight, man? I'm doing great. You know, week one is here.

started writing up games. I've been doing a lot of drafting on FFPC the last week. I actually just drafted a team two nights ago from seven. So let's see if it goes in a similar direction. We're going to do a little better than that other stream. All right. Be beautiful. Just a little better. We see Brock Bowers go off the board at the 101. He was in our queue. So we're already getting a little bit different. It's their draftathon today. If you want to join into the FFPC draft slate. Use the code points. You'll get $25 off.

Great, great way to enter in and try it out. If you're in Vegas, come up and say what's up to me. I'm drafting really soon, Scott, Thursday and Friday. So Chase goes, guys, we got in the queue, five guys, so we're in good shape. Scott, what do you think about the Brock Bowers at the 101? Yeah, that's interesting. How many times have you seen that?

I've been seeing it. I think people are mixing it up and they're realizing that so I would imagine that there's going to a lot of like volume drafters and some people are going to get no access to Brock Bowers and they keep drawing they keep drawing spots where they're not going to get them keep drawn eight spots keep drawn seven spots and they're like you know what I want to draft Pukina Kua with wide with tight end eligibility so I'm going to take Brock Bowers at the 101 so I can see it I have a 104 in a main event and he's definitely one that I'm considering and structurally you're also crushed when you're at the one spot. a lot of times you don't get Kittle at the end of the second round. So you're sort of in a structural dilemma at the tight end position. So I get it. For me, it's just impossible to pass on Jamar Chase at the one. And if I'm going to pass on Jamar Chase,

it's probably I'm going to try to mix it up with like Bijan or Jemir Gibbs if I drew a bunch of 101's. But we have, we're two picks away here, guys. Bejohn and Christian McAfric go off the board. I would imagine Jemir Gibbs goes here. He does. Okay, guys. We can talk about it. Scott, you might get your way tonight. You might get a

Well, this is why we're doing a big gorilla instead of a main event. It just makes it easier to bully you and to. Well, you don't have to bully me because we just, it hit us right in the tooth on this one. We got a C.D. Lamb at the 107 sort of a gift here. And Christian McCaffrey's off the board. So Scott, are we quote good with Cidie Lamb? Rich, are we good with this one? Absolutely. Smash it. All right. Scott, good? I mean, how awful is this defense, right? Like, we said this four months ago that Dallas is like NFC, you know, Senators Bengals.

And, I mean, no Mika Parsons. Who's hurt? Which cornerback is hurt? Is it, Doran Blan? Dallas is going to be in shootouts constantly. And a big question in the chat, why did Brock Bowers go one-on-one? What's the roster format? It's tight-end premium.

So at 1.5 point for every tight end reception for the FFPC is sort of the challenge. So if Brock Bowers has 110 receptions, he can outscore any single wide receiver, even if Jamar Chase goes nuclear. We've seen him with Travis Kelsey in years past. Trey McBride also goes at the 108. CDLAM guys, in the NFFC drafts, I added a few CDLAM shares. I've been taking him at like the 104. I think he's in play at the 103 for a lot of NFFC drafters.

I was in New York this past weekend drafting, and I definitely have my CD-Lam bags packed. I think he's a steal at the 107. Scott, I know you have him as your wide receiver two, I believe. Rich, did you end up raking him wide receiver too? Yeah, and with the Caleb McGarry injury too, I think I've actually, like in full PPR, I think he should be ahead of Bijan too at this point now.

Did you knock Bijon behind Gibbs after that injury? I did not still just because of, you know, with Gibbs still we're flying in like this. is still like area of like assumption that he's going to get like this like be unlocked under John Morton. But I still like can't but quite fully get there. Like I just don't believe David Montgomery is going to get shadow realm. And as good as Gibbs has been in terms of like a floor and ceiling play, like his actual

games where Montgomery plays like he's he doesn't, he hasn't had that like legendary upside outcome. Like he's he's under 20 ppr points per game in those games. And like so there's other guys that just have those locked in workloads like a CMC and a bejeon. I still think have that like, you know, just baseline, you know, higher outcome. I did it. I did it. I flipped Bejohn and Gibbs.

I love it, Scott. And that's where I'm at. I did it last minute too. And Gibbs, I've been taking a lot lately. We did our fantasy points predictions as a staff. And I picked Jemir Gibbs to lead the NFL in rushing yards this year. I think he gets 1,800 rushing yards. I think he could break fantasy this year.

We talked about his upside case on a bunch of these shows this summer. Devon A. Chan goes off the board. I saw him slipping a little bit in some of these live drafts to like the back end of the second round. As we're in a classic running back versus wide receiver dilemma here, I'll throw Chase Brown's name into the hat too, guys, just to talk about. He's moving up boards. And then I see Scott, you added A.J. Brown in. Let's see who this drafter takes. Basically, guys, I think I like kind of my guy at wide receiver.

Pukonaku, of course, is. still there. Who's your guy? Drake London sort of flipped him with a lot of these high-stakes drafters in New York were pushing London ahead of Nakuwa. Chase Brown also, there was a ton of enthusiasm for him recently. He sort of settled in as the RB6 in a lot of these drafts. I will say, guys, that the running backs we like in round three might be gone by the time

we pick at the 307, just based on how things are going lately. If you wanted to break a tie with the running back, I'm good with it here. We can all, oh, wow, this is. getting weird guys. The tourists are fun on. The tourists are in town and we're ready to take their money. So, Sophia, I've made you have a brand new Honda Civic on Pukonukuoka. Now I want you to have a, I don't know, BMW on Pukinakua.

Okay, I'm okay with Pukkahua. I will say, guys, I'll throw London. I'll throw Chase Brown in. I'm just saying if we lean into Pukukkahua here, we might be looking at like we're in a zero RB type build, which I know we're open to. Scott, this sort of opens you up to a Rashi rice pick. I know that people might say, wait, you're going to take another wide receiver. But hey, if we take Pooka Nakuwa, I'll say London or Nakuwa or Chase Brown.

Who is your employer, Theo? Is it not fantasy points, which likes overall wide receiver too is Pooka Nakuwa? We're 10 seconds ago, Rich Rebar, break the tie here. I mean, do we 100% take Pooka Nakuwa? Okay, so we're taking Pukukkah. My eighth overall player. Yes, yes. I'm not a Pooka Nakuha hater.

I've, we've taken him, we took him, we took him the first round of an FFPC main event. I'm just saying I think Drake London also has similar upside outcomes. Drake London doesn't have to compete with Devante Adams. And Drake London, his quarterback is not, you know, potentially missing some games. So, so Chris Wecht is the projections are of fantasy points who like does not like controversial takes. And if he has a controversial take, it is something he, he's, like, meditated on for, like, 70 hours.

And he has Puganakua overall wide receiver, too. And I'm like, I wanted to make sure, you know, he built in the Matthew Stafford injury. And I'm like, if Matthew Stafford retires tomorrow, where would you have Pug and iku Kua? He's like, I would have him wide receiver four. I already dug into this, already thought about it, already meditated on it. He would be wide receiver four. And so, yeah, Puganakua in round two is like one of the best deals you can get in

FFPC mid round two, if any. I like Pukukua. I just think a lot of the upside cases for him can also apply to Drake London. I also think just on the structural argument, Chase Brown makes some sense here. Like the team five gets Gibbs Chase Brown. And there's some outcomes here where guys, he gets two top two running backs in this sort of PPR format. Rich, your thoughts on Chase Brown, where did he sort of end up in your rankings?

Yeah, I haven't really moved. him around. I mean, he's like a little bit of like a deluxe version of Kyron Williams, right? Like he's Kyron Williams with like a little bit of reception work. You know, but yeah, yeah, like, well, a lot of it like compared to Kyran, right? Like you've got two players that are probably more volume based in offenses that we want attachment to, but aren't necessarily like, you know, the underlying metrics aren't like don't really jump off for either player. So we're just buying the offense or buying the value. We're buying the opportunity. So I don't have any problem with Chase Brown.

I don't think he's like an elite like smash though either. I definitely think there's a little bit like of Kai. I think because like I think a lot of the arguments you make for Kyron are also adjacent for Chase Brown like the pulling the threads. I get that one. Yeah, I think that's a that's a very interesting, interesting parallel with the Kyron, Chase Brown. You could kind of say Kyron's discount.

Kyron's also interesting guys because he sort of has been falling a little bit. I saw him go and NFFC is a start three wide receivers with the flex. FFPC is start two wide receivers with two flexes. You have a little more flexibility in the FFPC. But Kyron Williams, I saw fall into the beginning around four a little bit more. Kyron might be sitting there at the 307. He's been dropping. And shout out DKB, yeah.

It's a great start. It's a Scott Barrett special. It's a lot of targets. Scott, you might be looking at 320 targets. Something insane here. So there we go. Yeah, this is like a game within the game. I was talking to Abed about this when I went to his mansion here in Houston.

And yeah, this is the best time to draft, especially late at night during Memorial Day weekend. You get a lot of drunk people. Yeah. So, yeah, let's take advantage of them. Well, always two, once we get to like the list late in the summer, you start to see the running backs get more aggressively drafted every year. Obviously, it's not just like general population coming drafting maybe for the first times all year. but also just the clarity on every running back situation is kind of known right now. Whereas from best ball season all the way until now, there's some ambiguity that's always priced into some of these spots.

This is as clear as pictures looked all summer. And it's kind of made this, if you've been drafting a lot on FIPPC, like I have last two weeks, you see there's like a huge firewall like round five or six. Like once Pollard Pacheco go, it's like a wasteland after that. George Kittle is still on the board if team one wants to go with a purple, purple start and go Bauer's Kittle. I have some Bauer's Kittle builds, guys. I want to throw that out there. Just like to flex that.

Didn't have to do it from the 101, though, Scott. That's awesome. Yeah, that's nice. Nothing too crazy in this first round, except for the Lamar Jackson pick. You will not see Lamar Jackson in the second round pretty much ever in these FFPC main events. But, yeah, sometimes you get this late in the year. You get to be sort of the silly season. I'd say just for the team picking at eight, I love Lamar Jackson,

but I think that he could also be there at the 308. for you. So that's sort of why you don't make that pick. I've also found that's my hardest build. Double elite onesies, I think, has been the toughest structure to build this year. Agreed. Yeah. And there's some high stakes hitters out there who believe that as like a, that's something that they, they never differentiate from, Rich, where it's like, if I go early tight end, I don't go early quarterback. If I go early quarterback, I don't go early tight end. FSC, the tight end premium sort of changes a little bit. But I do think like when you're just a standard PPR league, that's a really, really tough put unless you nail it.

And Brock Bowers is like far and away the tight end one or Trey McRide in this case would be far and away the Tide N1 and then Lamar Jackson far and away the QB1. Then maybe you can get it done. But if it's there the QB1 or the tight end one by a hair, you still might not have won that sort of bet. And George Kettle goes off the board at the 302. AJ Brown, Ladd-McConkey, George Kittle Tians. That was rough.

But I mean, like that makes all the sense of the world. to see that happen. Yeah, the Lamar Jackson pick, like that, you know, in September, late August, that's when the fish come out to play and you see these, you know, round two quarterbacks after not seeing that one set of, you know, 50 FPC drafts. One thing that's interesting, guys, and you know what, I'll get to it after we pick because we're three away, but I want to talk about one more thing that I've been seeing in drafts. Guys, we have a loaded queue here running a lot of running backs. I would like to, I would personally love to get a bag of Trayvion Henderson here.

I think Kenneth Walker might come back to us at the 406, the way things have been going a little bit lately. And I think, guys, Tyreeks also been hitting into the fourth round. Sometimes we also could go Jaden Daniels here, which I know Scott's high on. Josh Allen's still on the board. Rich, do you have a lien here structurally? I mean, I'm Mary Hampton still there too.

Yeah, I like, I like a Marion Hampton over Tramion. So let's go, let's go Marion Hampton. I'll just throw out one name here. Do we want to consider Tetaroa McMillan? Do we try to push him? I would love to take him here. I think we need the volume back. I think the volume back makes sense on this open.

So let's take Omari and Hampton. This is a really nice start, really, really strong start. Can we talk about Tet, though, because Rich, I sent you DMs and you left me on red. Did I? You love me in Rich. We talked about, so you and I were very much harping on this was Ted McMillan. we were both very high on him as a prospect. There was like this weird period in, you know, March and April where you're like,

oh, I don't know that he's a top 15 pick. I think he's more of a late first guy. And you and I were both like, no, this is like a top 10 pick easy. And you and I both talked about like how freakishly elite he was from the slot. He was just never used there. And you were like, I would, he, if he gets Drake London power slot usage, it is game freaking over. And so I'm looking at Carolina. Yeah.

And I'm seeing Adam Thieland traded away. Jalen Coker on IR. It's all coming together. And McKillan power slot usage. Yeah, it's all coming together. Because unlike Marv, you know, Marv, you know, who only broke one tackle last year, that was in his collegiate profile. Like, we had to take guesswork of Marv versus Malik neighbors.

That's why it was a real conversation of the era of the NFL that those two guys were entering, you know, you know, neighbors from a arc. typical stance was a player that was just more suited to combat kind of what NFL defenses and what NFL offense want to do where Marv is like more of a throwback exist style receiver like AJ Green Julio Jones right and it was he was coming in the NFL at the worst time for that and there was none of that was alleviated in year one for him but Ted doesn't have that problem like this is a dude that broke a tackle on like 35% of his receptions he can move around he breaks tackles he's really good with the ball in his hands so I don't have like the Marv concerns

of him from like last year. I think this is a guy that's going to absolutely cook. Yeah, he's he steamed up guys. I took him in the third round a couple times in NFFC. And I think that the, the take that I've been having on Tet, Tera row. Yeah, he goes. He's going to go out of the round, I think, all Vegas long. McMillan, like, why can't he have 170 target Malik neighbors type season? Like we're constantly like, you know, 145 targets. I think that's sort of like the reasonable bet for him right now, 150 maybe. but why can't he just go nuts and exceed expectations like Bowers did, like neighbors did?

I think he's ready to rock. And we've also seen Bryce Young hyper-target Thielen in multiple seasons. McMillan's head and shoulders above what Thelan was at any point during his Carolina career. So I think that could go. We see Josh Allen go off the board. We're three quarterbacks in. Mike Evans goes off the board. Team 11's in a four wide receiver start.

Now Terry McLaurin. Got a couple interesting players in the queue guys. as Kenneth Walker is still on the board. He's starting to slip in drafts. I sort of like the taking him more inside of round, inside of round four than having to push him into round three. We, Tyreeks still on the board. He is slipping and slipping and slipping.

Devante Adams has been slipping a lot. I don't know what we're. We already took Puka. Yeah. We can't double tap that. I would, I will throw out, does Scott Barrett let us take as Xavier worthy share does let me get one Xavier worthy share on a third game you got the wrong partner I'll make I'll make a prediction we're two away I think we I think we we take one of the two

ADP slippers here we take Kenneth Walker 100% we take Kenneth Walker a hundred percent let's go baby I'll just throw this out rich you were you were singing the praises of Tyree kill potentially as a third round value but you know especially on this team like if it hits like a lamb puka like if Tyree You take him when you can get Rashi in a round or two. I just know that we have a shot here to open CD Lampook and Akua and then still get like, you know, two great running backs. Kevin Walker is going to be a top five option. I've been drafting Walker with you, Scott, a lot, and I've drafted him a couple of my own.

You hate it. And I keep making you do it. Well, I've been, I've been hammering Charbonnet as well. I think there's outcomes. I think they're both really good values. I think fourth round Kenneth Walker and I think seventh. round Zach Charbonnet are both really, really good values. And in drafts where I don't get Walker, I'm very open to taking Charbonnet on teams

where I'm, where running backs are flying off the board, I've mixed in a sixth round Charbonnet. And again, Scott, like we were taking Kenneth Walker, we took him together at the end of the third. I think every week he's on the field, he's giving you exactly what he had last year, if not more, 16 and a half points for game last year. We saw him take a big step forward as a receiver, but he couldn't stay on the field in the preseason.

And they sort of talk about him like a fragile veteran. Like they're giving him a lot of rest. And I get it. But I think Walker, where we paid for him here, now we have a lot of balance with with this team. We're sort of wide open with what we can do inside a round five. And then Tyreek goes one pick later. Emeka, Gbuka goes one pick later.

Egbuka, it's interesting. The FFPC drafters let him slip a little bit more into round five, where the FFPC drafters, there's still like a lot of steam enthusiasm to push him in round four. I actually thought that the price is for Igbuka. I got him at 57 overall in an FFPC draft. One other guy we're seeing slipping a lot. I'll just get your, at what point in drafts do you, are you considering Breece Hall at this point, Rich? It's it depends. It's not like necessarily a spot. It's probably more of a structural stance. Like if you know, I haven't like landed a running back that I'm really confident as my

RB one or maybe I took like I pushed Trayvion in the third and I just want like maybe more of an upside pick. I don't think there's like, I had this question in my chat of like how low is too low for for Brees Hall. And I just think it comes down to what you've done structurally and how much you need to swing kind of for like that upside outcome on him. He has a few outs, obviously, you know, one, he could just already be traded during the season. We also could see, you know, Justin Fields not play at some point, kind of slip out. So, but the offensive line is really good. I do believe in like kind of the situation a little bit, but it's the problem with, you know, does he get goal line carries? And you're going to lose so many targets by default.

He's not going to lose probably a ton of target share, but they're going to throw the ball a hundred fewer times this year than they did a year ago when they were third and passed right over expectation with Aaron Rogers. Like, Justin Fields is 29th and dropbacks per game since he's been an NFL starter. Like, they're just not going to have that kind of passing value. I took him 58th overall. Deer Wilson is like a crazy draft pick still to me. Like I still can't believe people are taking this guy in the third round.

Yeah, well, you know, it's out on him is that he's finished top seven in total targets in each of the last three years and outside of the top 30 and fantasy points per game in each of those seasons. Like that's almost impossible. Yeah. Can you, can you essentially the Robin Williams Goodwell Hunting meme where you just want to like, it's not your fault.

It's not your fault. But also it's the same shit that we've dealt with him. Like he even has made an arguably worse layout this year. And it's because of, and it's because of, you know, DJ Moore roasting Emmanuel Forbes on Thursday night game, you know, two, three years ago that. you know, where he's getting steamed up that, like, Justin Fields can save wide receivers now. Hey,

Rich, just in case Xavier Worthy falls to us, can you give the anti-Xavier Worthy? Yeah, guys, if, if Xavier Worthy falls at us at the 507 with a free look with six, I'll let you do it.

I'll let you do it. I'll say Xavier Worthy opens you up to Rashi Rice. That's the, that's the ticket. Rish, Rashie smashes him, but let me, I'll let you do it if you let Rich go on a rant here.

I don't know if it's so much a rant. It's just, you know, it's just so rich for a player that, I mean, he never even had 80 yards in a game last year until the final two weeks of the season. Like I just don't know what kind of ceiling you're getting here. It's the same thing with even with Jameson Williams, who I think is an exciting player in the same corollary. But like there were no spike weeks in a season where you had the Detroit Lions,

you know, be the seventh team in the 2000s that averaged four offensive touchdowns per game. And like you still weren't getting like 25 point bombs like from the like it's just really hard, especially in a structure like this where we care about like those outcomes. Like we want we want big games, man. We want big weeks. Like to me, I think worthy, especially at his opening six weeks,

he becomes like that, that nice floor play with the added upside if he can make that jump. He's going to be like a really solid wide receiver two, wider receiver three. And could potentially be more like the deep passing that they've talked for three years is going to come back. But what if it doesn't? But also their schedule is miserable the first like all these Rishi Rice games.

The first month are off. They have awful matchups like the first four games. Maybe the chiefs are big enough to overcome all that. But I just don't think we're going to see the chiefs come out and we want to be like this high flying offense. Unless that field in Brazil is like it was last year and it's opening up all these splash plays. It's just real tough for me to see.

I think he's more of a floor play. I don't think he's like a Tyree kill type player. It's basically kind of like my shorthy. You know, I really look forward to the weekly Xavier worthy discussions on School of Sky. It's going to have like a, it's not going to be the show. This is not a Theo versus Scott. This is Theo and Scott.

But we're going to do a two minute, just two minute Xavier Worthy recap for the week so Scott can get his digs in. And I'll, and I will remind Scott when Xavier Worthy drops like a 20-pointer and all that kind of stuff. I think why receiver 24 is more like in that ballpark of why I'm comfortable with him. I'm going to throw out, I put Cortland Sutton in the queue here, guys. And I know Rich, you're very high on him. I've no idea who to take if not for him, right? Well, everybody else is there's a chance everyone else in our queue is available at the 606 because these get wacky. I will say that if you want to grab a tight end,

Tyler Warren and Sam Leporter could both be gone by the time we pick. Hawkinson's slipping, which is interesting. I got him in the ninth round of an NFFC draft. Just an interesting one. Scott, I know you're not high on him, but ninth round Hawkinson seems like a gift. I like Sutton here. I think Sutton opens us up to a Bo Nix late

when Bo Nix in like the 11th round get a little correlation. Rich, you were all over Sutton when you came on School of Scott. recently with us. And he gives us another clear wide receiver one. It opens us up with multiple correlation type. So I would stump for Sutton if he's here at the 507. It's boring. But it's also like I think he's going to be 15 points per game with upside potential if that offense takes a step forward. What's up? I'm John Hansen. Best ball is back and it's only at draft Kings.

I think both of those tight ends are six round values, but I think both of them would help this team because we're not going to be chasing the tight end position. That's sort of where I'm at. Scott, do you have a lean here? I have no idea. I really had my heart set on set. And what do you think, Rich?

Yeah, I mean, I would have Pickens as the top guy on my board, but we already took Pickens is gone. Oh, is he? Early, yeah, he's flying, right? Oh, I did miss him. No, no problem. Maybe that's not, but we had CD anyway, so I was going to not have us push that anyways. So we could push up Hunter.

What about Leporta? Loporta's fine. You guys want to do a Leporta share? Yeah, that's fine. Or Hunter. Loporta. Travis Hunter? He might be there at 606.

Let's take Leporta. Okay, so we got Leporta, which is like, I don't think we're, this is not like the most exciting. And I see the chat saying it. Golden's going to be there in round six, Hunter might be there in round six. The, you get the structural tight end of Leporta. I've seen you do this. Scott, you took him with Ryan Heath, Jacob Sanderson in your draft about the same time. I'm still not anti-Loporta.

It doesn't feel like the edge of last year, but you're still getting a really good football player. in a tight end premium format. And now we don't feel the pressure to hit tight end in the next few rounds. And we can get a bunch of this. He's going to go like within 10 picks of Kelsey and Hawkinson. And once you see that, I feel like that that makes it look much better. Well, Warren, Warren's, I think Warren's the, for me, it's Leporta versus Warren in this spot because Warren, I think you get the upside outcome.

I don't want any part of Travis Kelsey. Dude's a billionaire. Dude's getting married. I don't want any part of them. And also, like, the whole notion that Kelsey is going to be all front-loaded because Rashi Rice is out, I don't know if he's got it in them. I think it's more of a, if you're as anti-Zavier worthy as you two guys are, then there's some arguments for Kelsey, but I just think Kelsey's cooked. I think he's dust. I'd rather take Tyler Warren, Sam Leporta. So we see Kelsey go there.

I'd imagine Warren goes the next few, the next few rounds, or the next few picks, I should say. and that we're sort of open for round six, uh, taking kind of whoever we want. We're structurally pretty solid here. Uh, but I don't, I don't hate the Laporta pick guys. I don't hate it.

It doesn't feel as much as an edge as last year. But Rich, you also bring up like Jameson Williams. If you're not into Jamesson Williams and I am into Williams, then Leporta makes a little more sense here too. Yeah, it's just, it's just not a fun spot to be like you said. I mean, in these, like the hotbed for these wide receivers is like this round six through

10. Like there's just so many good receiver picks that come off in that area. So it's fine to just kind of like either have your RB3 or RB2 by that point and then then just kind of just load up at wide receiver in that period. This is the first time I've drafted Sam Leportar all year. So maybe it's just like coming in the 11th hour and like maybe this was the one time I needed him. Tied in one overall because you came on the stream.

And when Sam Leporter gets two touchdown catches in week 17 and we We win a million. We're all going to be rocking Laporta jersey's on School of Scott. It'll be a good time. To be fair, it was a super dead zone for us, though. Like it was with Sutton coming off the board, it was kind of like, do you force a breeze hall as your arbitrary three? You don't really need to.

Every wide receiver, we're kind of like in a flatter tier of wide receiver too. And then also you know exactly what was going to happen. This is where round six is typically where the tight end started to come off, like in that little bit of row, that little pocket of purple. So we knew it was going to happen anyways. So if you really wanted Lepordo or like, say you wanted Tyler Warren, That was probably the spot where you had to get them because wide receiver got flat. You already have two running backs, like you said, from a structural stance, it makes sense,

even though it's not exciting. I see somebody saying no Zay, no Devanta Smith. Those guys are probably going to be there in the middle of round six. We're going to have those guys on the board. Devonta sort of there's not a whole lot of steam with him. I don't mind Devonta. Scott and I did take Devontas Smith in one FFPC main event. We correlated him with Jalen Hertz.

That was a nice team we had. Still a nice team, Scott. Still a nice team. We got to put in waivers this. week on that team. Waivers are back. Make sure you check out the WaiverWire show on Fantasy Football Daily. Drop one with Joe Dolan, Tom Brawley. And I have an article coming out at Fantasy Points, probably tomorrow that'll help out deep league managers with the preseason waiver wire run, some high-stakes stuff in there too for you FFPC and FFC people. Okay, three picks away here,

guys. Yeah, and we were right to go tight end guys because we see Tyler Warren, who I'm into, David and Joku, who I know you are still very high on Scott. Travis Kelsey, of course, old man, Kelsey is going to go somewhere in this range. So the tight end run started a little bit, and we got our preferred one. So I think structurally we made the correct decision. Yeah, shout out to Brian Raymond. That's what I do on the plane ride to Vegas. It's just awesome.

I sit there for like four hour and five hours on the plane ride to Vegas doing waivers. It's awesome. But it's the life we've chosen, Scott Barrett. there's a wide receiver here who i think is like the most misprice player in drafts and we should we should for sure take i think i think rich agrees with me i think you're going to say it's a little early i don't know i just think there's a there's a chance he comes back in the seventh round i don't want to personally but you have a better gauge on this than i do okay so i think if you both want to do it rich like i if you want to do it i know this are our only 350 we're doing together

We can do it here, guys. I think it sort of changes us a little bit where, okay, he's on, he's on the board and Matthew Golden, a guy I was going to try to talk you into. I mean, Chuba's an extreme ADP value. Chuba's slipping. Chuba's starting to slip into this range a little bit.

I think people have been listening to smart people like yourself talking about how he's receiving numbers might have been a little Fugazi and guys cutting in. If you guys want to take him, it's the remandre. Remandre layout. Exactly happened to him. Do you want to take Rashi Rice here, Scott?

Absolutely. Okay. And Rich, you want them. I will take. Is your wide receiver three? Imagine if this team is pushing to the playoffs. Hell yeah. Yeah, I'm into it.

And we have the right build for this guys because we're not chasing any position. We're not chasing running back. We're not like. But I will say what taking Rashi Rice does is it actually makes you, I want, I'm more likely to break ties in round seven and round eight with a wide receiver. Because I do think like those six weeks matter. The one thing about the, like Rashi Rice, we took him, I split a team with Nelson Sousa in the New York Super of the

NFFC, which is like the hardest draft of the year. And we took Rice inside of the sixth round as well. But NFFC, you don't have to worry about the playoffs of the FFPC where FFPC, it's actually a very short regular season. So it's a 12 week regular season plus the buy. So you've got Rashi Rice for five regular season weeks and then you got them for the fantasy playoffs or the FFPC playoffs and then you got them hopefully for the stretch run. So it's a tougher put in FFPC port format than it is like your home league PPR or the NFFC or the FFWC. So I will just add that little caveat for Rashi Rice.

But hey, guys, we got Rashi Rice, CD Lam and Pukukua. So some background of how this all kind of came together is I watched you guys on a stream a few weeks ago because as I was preparing to delve into my like FFPC. Because at the end of these last weeks, I really am just drafting here. and you guys, Scott had pitched taking Rishi Rice. This is before the news of the actual suspension, what we were going to get. And you guys shot him down.

And I sent him a DM and I said, you can always take Rishir Rice when I drafted with you. And that's kind of how this started. He's like, well, when are we going to draft? And that's how this all kind of like, we started getting this thing in motion. I just needed another guy on my team. We had to get him.

We had to get him because this is how it all started. And to get him on a team where we already have CD-Land Pook and Akua is just feels so much better. I mean, this is a beautiful. beautiful. This is like a gift of a team right here. It's Cedaylam, Puganakua, Rishi Rice, Amerihanpton, Kenneth Walker. And then Sam Laporte is just like an absolute gift. Well, a big, a big shout out to one of my draft partners, Andrew Schellenberg, one of the better FFPC managers around and a noted zero RB enthusiast. We split a team at nine in the morning on Thursday.

We did we draft the FPC varsity together with Dan Williamson. He says Rice is a much better wide receiver four or five than wide receiver three. This is what I'm sort of talking about where I actually think Rice is the hammer for a hero RB build or a zero RB build where you have you're sort of already pushed to the chips in like the one we did with with a Beeb, Scott, where I actually think it makes more sense to take him structurally where we would have had a wide receiver three. So if I knew. We're still going to get another good receiver though. We're probably going to get two more good receivers. It's a good point, but you're starting to see Keon Coleman come off the board, Matthew Golden. So people are chasing the upside receivers. There's a, there's plenty of wide receivers

up to that board that we're, I feel like, Rishi Rice being our three versus our four as the way the draft dictates it. I think we're still going to have plenty of depth at wide receiver. Listen, it's a champagne problem, guys. We're talking about structure on a team where we have, we have three guys who are 30% target share guys in the playoffs. And, If Kenneth Walker holds up, I think that he's fantastic. And Omarian Hampton, Scott, I made the bold prediction on the show with Jacob Gibbs and Ryan Heath. I said, actually, no, excuse me, Graham Barfield and Ryan Heath. I said, Omarian Hampton, I think, is the fantasy playoffs hero, six touchdowns in the fantasy playoffs,

including three against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. And Hampton, I think, is going to be in the conversation for 2026 first round. And he's got to have to do that in the back half of the year. So I like that we got Hampton Walker. We're wide open in this round. I would break ties to wide receiver because we're so strong. Oh, yeah. We're taking a receiver.

We should take a receiver. Unless, unless. They're like, there are like five or six receivers. I'd be like thrilled to have stuff. Yeah, I agree with you. There's a number of guys who project to potentially be the wide receiver one on their team. None of them were Jerry Judy. Hey, I'm kind of into Jerry Judy.

I like Jerry Judy too. Rich, you're a Judy hater. I would have, I would have never pegged you for that. I think he's going to have a decent year. You don't like him? Yeah, I think it'll be decent, but I just think when we eventually get Dylan Gabriel, I even looked at the Brown schedule. Have you looked at it? Dude, Flacco is not, Flacco might not make it out of September. Yeah. That's a good point. Very good point. And then also, so much of Judy's, so much of Judy's production was not James Winston related. It was because no one else was playing on the Browns at that point. Uh,

After they traded Amari, Jerry Judy ran 152 routes with both David and Joku and Cedric Tillman off the field. On those plays, he had 37% a team target share, 32.2% target rate per route run. But he then he ran 184 routes after the Cooper trade with both Injoku and Tillman on the field, 19% target per route rate, 20% of the team targets. Like, this is a team too that I believe they're going to be bad enough to where they're going to have some passing volume and it's going to be increased at Flacco. But this is a team that definitely, I think, structurally wants to play closer to the best this season under Stansky.

The reason why they got a second tight end. Oh, I was dreaming. I know. I know. Pierce Hall was the dude. And Rome. Well, I will say, Rome would have been great. The fourth player on our queue, I don't think we consider.

I think I don't think he's great here. I think he'll probably be there in round eight because I don't think the market's adjusted on him. I think we're looking at one of the top three guys here. I'm also going to throw out, I'm going to throw out DeAndre Swift into the conversation, which I think he's a bridge play to Rashi Rice because you can stick DeAndre Swift in the flex. I think he's going to get considerable volume. And I think he's also going to be a pass catcher. So I think if the wide receiver at the top of the queue is off the board, I'd like to consider him. We're going to know in a second.

We got like four great picks here on the board here, guys. I like the tight end personally. I know, I know he's going to be there around. I think he might be there. and round eight and you don't need them with the with the what we just we just fell into with uh is tight and premium double flex you okay so alave goes i think that the pick is deandre swift or jordan addison i would also take debo samuel as a bridge to rashi debo gets off to a hot start for six weeks and then we he sort of hands off the baton to rashi rice in week seven i think would

work out well. I think Swift is interesting, guys. I know I said we needed to break ties to wide receiver, but Swift, I think is interesting. Let's, you know what, Scott, if you really want Colson Loveland, we can cram them in there. I think it's Addison or Loveland. I don't think we need to do the tight end. If we wanted Loveland, we could just take. Let's take Addison

who again, Addison's an impediment. It says three weeks, but I think Addison's awesome in the seventh round. Scott, you're in death. Swift is the firewall guy. Like if we don't. I think it's Addison or Loveland. Running backs, I'm going to So Addison or Adison. Okay, Addison or Loveland, Rich. Quick.

I don't really love either of these guys. I'll let you guys pick. Okay, so let's take Addison. All right. Hopefully Loveland falls. You don't love Loveland? No, I love Loveland. But I'm talking to Rich.

I didn't love him on this team. I don't want to take a second tight end already. Why not? I would have rather take it. The thing is like, you're like, oh, we need a wide receiver because of Rishie Rice. We really don't because it's too. wide receiver two flags. Well, Swift was... We do need another wide receiver, though. You can't be,

you have to have to, because the wide receivers, the reason you need to cram in early is they, they get steamed and the guys get taken. And like, the wide receiver, like, you'll start seeing the last drafted, the last possible drafted wide receiver that you feel has like a pathway. Those guys are going to start being gone. Yeah. See, Liam has a week 10 by and Pukinacu is a week eight by. So like as long as they stay healthy, we don't need a wide receiver. So you have the tight ends and the flex. Well, we're coming up in the eighth round. We have to think a little bit of early season because again, Jordan, we did the Jordan Addison Rashi Rice, zero R b drafter siren call where we basically have two zeros for week one,

two and three. So we're okay, but we need to start thinking early season production here. And I'll just say the one thing about the one thing about Loveland is early season production, cheap. Nick Chubb goes around 18. Also, having two suspended players doesn't really mean anything to me. I just don't love the, I don't love Addison as much. We've talked about, we talked about when I was on the show as you guys. You can't add Nick Chubb to this beautiful build. No, we're not doing this. But also, layering the suspensions doesn't matter to me. I don't think that that's even a concern either. The three, I keep, the reason, the reason I keep bringing it up, again, it's 12 weeks in FFPC. It is a short, short season to get to week 13.

and week 14 for the playoffs, you get the top one, top two seeds or lead the league in scoring. So we need to, and then of course you get the three seed or the four seed, you're still in the mix. But I would rather wrap it up with being one of the top two seeds. So just saying, guys, like for instance, I think that eighth round, ninth round, let's keep in mind, what can this guy do for us early in the year? Just get us to Jordan Addison, Scott. Just get us to Jordan Addison. Love Star says we should have gone Ricky Purcell over Rashi Rice.

What do you say about that, Scott? I feel good about Rashid Rice. I mean, I love Pearsall. That's one of my guys. But like we're guaranteed, I don't know, it feels like low-end wide receiver 1 production from Rishie Rice whenever he's on the field. Piercell is nice too, though. Okay.

I don't have a problem with Pearson. Rysh is the haymaker, man. We want to play for the Ducats. The Ducats. By the time we can. get to the fantasy playoffs, there still is a range of outcomes for the 49ers where Ricky Pearsall is like fourth on targets on that team by that point. I don't think I don't think the probability is like super high, but it exists, right? If Brande Dinauuk's back and he's

playing well by that point in the season, if Jennings playing well, obviously if CMC is still playing like there's that exists in the range of outcomes. Like at worst, Rishis is going to be probably the two target and probably still be the one. I mean, it's the Puka Nakuca thing from last year and Puka was hurt. You didn't have Puka for eight weeks last year. And you needed him. He was the guy you needed at the end. So guys, we have a bunch of guys in the queue here. I threw one other player in, Scott, that we've been drafting. I just moved him up into the top three.

I'll say there's one player here that never goes inside a round eight anymore. Would just be an interesting conversation to have because he never goes in round eight anymore. He's been living in round seven lately. we've got some nice, nice guys in our queue here, guys, some very nice ones. We're going to, we're going to hold tight here. It's circling back from like the structural stance. The reason why I was kind of with Theo on Swift is like it's a clear firewall. And like we can just ignore running back like largely till we are.

I don't want to do that. I think, I think there are two rookies later on or two of the most miscreas. Oh, my God. We're going to do it again. We're going to get it again and again. Again and again. You know what you sign yourself up today. I know.

I know. I know. I know. This is why we're doing it. He, I think he goes in round 10, though. I'm just going to make a little gentleman's bet here that he's not, you don't have to do it in the ninth. We can, round 10, I think it's great.

I think it's great. The thing is I like both. So I'm fine making that calculated bet. Okay. So we have four guys in the queue. And I think all four guys are really interesting discussions here. what happened to did my guy just get taken hold on let me look at this board Tucker craft no there's digs that couldn't have been your guy no there's

where do you go okay so he we have five guys in the queue to discuss here and we have two picks to go I see four I just added a fifth guy in there because he never goes in round in round eight I wanted a tight end and you said he's going to fall and so I assume that meant oh yeah well we'll take We'll take it. Scott, we'll take him if he's there. No, he's gone. He's gone.

But he didn't necessarily blow it because he went, he did fall to round eight. So we, we, we, we judged it, but we just missed. It was, it was still a reasonable bet.

Oh, I took your guy off at Q. I, we're in a tournament style format with a million dollar prize. You want to lean into upside is my thinking. But I have no strong. So you guys can. Okay.

So I'll say he never, ever, ever goes. Well, we're on the clock here. I mean, I think that it's a, it's an easy pick for me with Debo Samuel here. We need a wide receiver. He's been the number one guy in camp. The vibes are there. There was a quote today about how the running back room, there's all these different voices coming out about the running back room, but they made a point saying they're also going to give Debo rushing attempts. I think Debo is going to smash to start the year. And we need a bridge to Rashi Rice. I think Zach Charbonnet is interesting here, Scott, because he never goes in round eight. And it's

not necessarily just a handcuff. It's also a handcuff where if Walker goes down, he could be 18 points per game. So I think it's Debo here, guys, unless you want to talk me off of this one. I like Debo here. Yeah. And Scott, you've been on Debo too. Yeah. I'm not fighting you. I don't know where you're my your, my thing with Zach Charbonnet is just in the tournament style format where you have a million dollar grand price. You want to lean into upside rather than safety, drafting a handcuff on a Walker team is a safety pick to me, that doesn't really make sense. Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

But the reason I would say is because Charbonnet, he's living in round seven. He's made six round appearances and getting him with a little bit of like ADP discount here kind of takes the edge off. I'm just saying that the only reason I would argue for this one, and I'm not, and I'm saying we did the right thing. I'm saying that it's a reasonable conversation

because the Clint Kubiak offense could be so, so special. you could end up with 19 points per game every single week out of your RB2 position where some of these other, and I know you sort of like to, like you talk about like I overrate handcuffs and all this kind of stuff. I get it. But Charbonnet could be this year's Chase Brown if in scoring, if Kenneth Walker misses time. And he makes perfect sense for a team that doesn't have round four draft capital invested in Kenneth Walker. Yeah, it's, it's fun. No, and guys, Scott and I, we have to get a couple arguments in round eight, nine, and ten. And the rest of the draft, we always sort of agree on guys, but it's just sort of the for the

vibes. It's always round eight through 11 is. Yeah, eight through 11. This is the tense time. But guys, Debo Samuel. I love getting him in round eight. I think this is a really, really fun one. Rich, what, what are your vibes base takes with Debo before even your realistic

projections? I mean, I think this is the one spot where he could have left the Kyle Shannon in offense and gone to, we're gone to a landing spot that was going to, utilize him the ways that his strengths are. He was still really good tackle breaker last year. He was good before the pneumonia. People have dropped like those splits over and over all the summer. But what you really like is that, you know,

Jaden Daniels, 26% of his passes at her behind the line of scrimmage. Washington, third in the NFL in screen rate to wide receivers from 2019 to 2022 with Arizona. Cliff was second in the NFL in screens to wide receivers. One of the highest slant rates in the NFL in this offense. So just to fit there. you get the McLaren stuff. He's missed off camp. We've, you know, Ryan, you know, at your guys' site has highlighted this too, like these guys that have missed training camp the past couple years, have gone off the slow starts.

That kind of coincides with what we want to do coming out of the blocks, trying to fill in for these two suspended guys. It all just kind of lines up. Plus, yeah, you get the little bit of the rushing. It's one of the things with Krosky Merritt that's been hard to really juice him up is that the thing about this at Washington. They led for the seventh most snaps in the NFL last year. They're not sneaking up on anyone last year. or like this year like they did last year. But even though they led at the seventh highest rate of snaps, they were 19th and running back carries.

And now we might have this guy in Jacori Kroski-Marrett, who is on a team that probably has 125 to 150 non-running back runs between Jaden Daniels and Debo Samuel. He doesn't have a pipeline to catch passes because Austin Echler has that role. And then what if he doesn't score touchdowns if Chris Rodriguez has that role? So now he might just be the lead, the touch count leader of the backfield because he's just getting the least important fantasy touches, which are rushing attempts. So, like, that's what's been really hard to kind of steam him up, even though I was hammering

Jacori-Krosky Merritt at the start of this offseason. It's just a bummer to kind of, like, see other tides of turn. Yeah, you know, I buy into that a little bit where it's like the, I get it. I see some of the quotes coming out, but I do think it's a Chris Rodriguez kind of feels like when Nick Siriani wanted to put Kenneth Gainwell in, and then it was like Gainwell's the starter, or gain well. Rodriguez is not a bad. He was not a bad prospect, though.

Not bad. But again, what's the hit rate on guys who were drafted in late on that day two that didn't do anything their first two years in the league to sort of break through? I actually think like the Kroski Merit combo with Austin Echler has been sort of viable because I think if both of these sort of guys fail, Echler could be interesting. You bring up sort of the low A dot targets that are a big part of the offense. Echler's really cheap. you could end up getting like a 13 point per game, super cheap running back in Echler if those two guys

don't hit. And I'll just take the crossy merit sort of, and people are, people are hating on this time, been a crossy merit guy. My bags are packed on crossy merit guys. I took them the other day in an NFFC prime time, high stakes draft. I'm still drafting him. 100% still drafting them. But I understand what Rich is saying. Our bags are packed though, Rich. You got them early drafts? No, I mean, I have drafted on a ton of early. leagues. I think he's still fine and like largely in best box. You guys are starting to run some stuff. But I think in managed leagues, he's going to be a headache. I get it. And I think you might have to, you might get a first couple of weeks

doesn't happen. But I think that the fact that they moved on from Brian Robinson is directly because of Kroski Merritt. This sort of been my take. Yeah, friend of the program. Shout out. Shout out to Scott Barrett for the work that he does right after the NFL draft. He puts in the, the, the, the, the, one of the hardest working guys in fantasy this year did a lot of cool stuff. We did a podcast with Sea Rod back in the day. Did you? You also broke the quote, Scott. You were the one who broke it open with the

Eric B. Enemy was the reason he was drafted to Washington. You sort of got that out in the fantasy streets and a lot of people just sort of copy it. They don't even give you credit on that. They just say it, but I'm giving you credit. Let's, so we're looking at the queue here. We're pretty loaded here. There's a lot of options.

I think that, well, Joanne Jennings is interesting, goes off the board. I don't think we necessarily need to take a QB here. I do think Dak Prescott is super interesting for this build because we have leaned in to CD-LAM. We also get a double-free look bet. I think it's a little early for pick number three. I think that just looking at this,

Dak Prescott, we get sniped on. So the QB run is going to come pretty soon here. We can wait on QB. There's only two other teams we'd have to dodge here coming back around. so I think we're okay to wait on on QB. What's your lean here, guys? You know my lean. Don't you think he comes back to the 10th round?

Bruce knows my lien. I think he comes back to the 10th round. This is what drives me crazy. We're talking about a player who should have been off the board in round 7. And we're like, let's play the ADP. You draft 15,000 teams. Yes. And I see him go in the 10th round all.

the time now. That's right. He's, he's an extreme value in round nine. Well, but again, you, you could get him in round 10. If you, if you cannot live without him, then I guess we can, we can, we can, we can, we can cram him in, but I do think there's a check. The one thing I have going for me is I'm really good at identifying like the key guys to draft. My Exodia plays is why people spend money on a fantasy point subscription. This is the one guy, no one agrees with me on Rich. The one thing is, right, there's another rookie I really like who goes. Why don't, why don't just as a game theory thing, wouldn't it make sense to, to change up your exposure and go with the other one?

No. No. You just want to go all in. You want nine. You just hammer the plus EV decisions. Diversification is a myth. It is a minus EV move. We don't do that.

Rich, we have, we have a strong lean here. Do you have one? No, I'm, I'm okay, because I know you want to take cams, Cadabos. Okay, let's take them, let's take them for the vibes based. And we do have the, we do have the two running backs, so we don't need any production out of Cam Scadabu week one. The, the case for Cam Scadabu is Tyrone Tracy fumbles.

And Cairois drops past. It's just, they drafted Cam Scadabu to be the RB1. Amazing prospect profile. He went day three, sure, but it's like the best running back class since 2017. This is a, the team. seems very high on him. Perfect archetype of player for fantasy football where he's amazing at the goal line, catches a ton of balls. Tyrone Tracy converted wide receiver sucked as a past catcher last year, couldn't hold onto the ball, ton of drops, ton of fumbles in the doghouse at

the end of the year. They drafted his replacement. And yet Tyrone Tracy goes four rounds earlier. Did you call him scam Scataboo by accident with a Freudian slip? I probably did. Yeah. Uh-oh. Listen, guys, you're getting in Scott's head. Scott, I'm betting on Cam Scadaboo. My bags are packed. And the two of us have three Cam Scataboo FFPC main event exposures. Now we have a big gorilla exposure to him. So we're betting on Cam Scadaboo here. I do think that this is what I said. This is what I said. Week five on a podcast, I'm like week five, we're all going to be calling him Marshall Chalk. And then someone was like, we're either going to be calling him Marshall Chalk or Scam Cattaboo. That's what's going to happen.

Rich, where do you stand on this? Where does your son, a fellow Giants fan stand on this? I'm into him in this area. I think when where we were in that spot, if a gamer like Scott has that much conviction on a player and we're talking about taking like what other guys there, like Josh Downs, Christian Kirk or whatever, like if he has that much conviction on a player, why not let him swing away on it? No, I like, this is just friendly banter.

Like, are we going to be mad? Yeah, like we're not going to be mad. like if we took if we if we like didn't get cooper cup right like or like like the cam scataboo cam scataboo is running like just a very simplistic he's a running back that if he's on the field is going to catch passes i think he's got a baked in floor in that regard and yeah scott's right the the production and you wanted to get the whole lines up eventually which he probably will i mean even in that the first preseason game when they did have tracy in the whole drive they pulled him for devon singletary inside the five i i am going to pound i'm going to i'm going to i'm going to i'm

to pound a pound the table here. Wait until that happens in week one when Devin Singletary scores a touchdown. I'm going to pound the table here at the 10.06 guys where Ollie Gordon feels like Jordan Mason last year, where there's Devon A Chans banged up. I still like Devon A Chann. I know Scott does. I know Ryan Heath. Everybody likes Devon H&M bags are packed. But Ollie Gordon is going to be a 70% fab bid player in FFC, NFPC, NFFC for a reason. He's this year as Jordan Mason. He'll get running back one production out the gate. got the double combination of the Exodia running backs, not necessarily necessary here. I think Gordon, it's a, there's two other guys. And then he goes.

I was going to throw a his seat bit, but now, now I don't need to. Yeah, I think it's, there's a lot of smart people on Gordon in this range because it's a not all handcuffs are created equal guys. Ollie Gordon. That's what I say. That's what Abe says. That's the fundamental philosophical.

difference between and and abeb if he was on the show shout out to abe please jump in the chat if you're watching abeb would say take ollie gordon right here with our build because it's a hammer pick um and if we look at the side of the board here guys there's the teams coming up behind us five out of the six have a quarterback so we don't feel any pressure to get our quarterback here team three could even double tap quarterback and we're still going to be okay i think ollie gordon if he's here we kind of roll with it. And if Devon H& has any sort of a setback, you're talking about 20 touches a game, instant flex value. He's going ahead as Cam in some of these drafts, Scott.

Rich, do you have any problem with me hammering away in Ollie Gordon? I feel it's very similar to the layout of Scott. Like if you believe in that player this much, then there's no reason to say, like, let's push around or let's do something. Like, let's just get just, just add them to the roster. I'm okay because again, we're in another spot where it's like the, like the ceiling, all or nothing guys like are very thin right now. Yeah, I think, I think Ollie Gordon, Ollie Gordon, like I don't think, let's put it like this.

I don't think Devon A-chan plays every game this year. And I think every game he's out, Ollie Gordon could be at the very minute. Like, and I'll say that to kind of lower the, lower the tide here, I think he could be this year, Zach Charbonnet, where we look back on the year. And Ollie Gordon has like four strong RB1 weeks. I think he's interesting here. We just had three Browns running backs taken in four picks. Guys, it's getting weird in this draft board.

And we're not recapping it, guys, because this is a YouTube-only show. If you're watching this on YouTube, please subscribe to Fantasy Points. YouTube helps us out a lot. It doesn't cost you anything. Scott, we crossed some interesting numbers the other day. Shout out to the audience. We went past 20,000 YouTube subscribers. Big shout out to Trey Camberling, Thomas Tipple, and the unbelievable team at Fantasy Points.

We added 200 more subscribers since we crossed 20K. So we're looking to get the 25K early on in the year, Scott. That's sort of the next benchmark for fantasy points. Yeah, one must think Theo Griminger was a major part of that. You know, while I give you your flowers, while I give you your flowers, I have to say, I strongly disagree with the Ollie Gordon pick. I think we should have taken the player who went one pick after Josh Downs.

Why? Because fundamentally, philosophically, I believe, all handcuffs basically create a equal, might as well get the cheaper guy. So you take an Ollie Gordon here. What's the difference between that and taking a Ray Davis in three rounds, a Tyler Al Jir in four rounds, et cetera. Also, Stevenson, who has probably more standalone value on a week-to-week basis,

no injuries occurring. Well, Devon A-Chann's already banged up. Devon A-chan already has a similar sort of injury to Chris McAfee. I talk to my sources. Listen, I hope your source are right because my Devon A-chan bags are certainly heavier than my Oli-Gordon bags. But I'm trying to add it up. And I'll say, what's interesting is, Scott, you got some props. I was in New York.

And I see a bunch of guys. I see once a year or twice a year, actually, someone will be in Vegas. But a very good high-stakes manager, Matt, Matt Modica, came up to me. And he's one of the co-hosts of the Fantasy Empire, which is a really good high-stakes pod, came up and said, yeah, you know, I'm with Scott Barrett on this Josh Downs. Look at my, and he uses fantasy points data. He's like Josh Downs. He's like, all these other guys are arguing with me.

I'm still on Josh Downs. I'm drafting Josh Downs. But there's a lot of smart people right now sort of that are on Tyler Warren train. And I think Tyler Warren's going to have a really good year. And then, Rich, there's also people making the argument that Michael Pittman Jr. is going to be sort of back to being the wide receiver you want an indie. Rich, if you could draft, let's say take cost out of it, take ADP out of it. If you could draft one Indianapolis Colt receiver this year, who are you drafting?

I would probably lean like no cost aside, probably Warren, Pittman, and Downs. Downs is the best player, though. That's it hurts my soul. But he's just, he's just in such a disadvantage. Bro. Rich, you had an Antonio Brown cop. I know, and I still believe in a big picture. I actually even said on the Dynasty show on your channel with,

Dynasty points. With Ryan and Jacob and like that I actually believe Josh Downs from he not these next two years doesn't outscore Rishirice, but over the next 10 years outscores Rish Rice. Wow. Guys, we've got an interesting pick coming up here. I threw Baker Mayfield in the. Well, what is, is it not that interesting, Richie, just because you don't like the guys in the queue or you think it's a clear guy in the queue? Yeah, I don't even, I didn't check the queue.

but I think there's a dude that we podium pick, right? Oh, yeah, he's number one on that thing. Yeah, okay, so I'm good. I'm good with him here too. I probably pull it up. Yeah, Scott and I have him. We have him in quite a few places, and I think that he,

and I've been drafting the hell out of him, so you don't have to twist my arm. But Pipp is another one of those, like, solid glue guys, I think, just because, you know, he can get, you know, obviously Daniel Jones can be a proxy of Gardner Minshu, 2023 Gardner Minshu, and you can just stack, like, you know, those shitty 14 point PPR games.

Dallas Goddard goes a few picks ahead of us. He would have been interesting because you get the free look. Dallas, Philadelphia, a lot of times you're watching that first game guys and there's always like one surprise player. How much do you overvalue that, like at this point in the draft? Like,

are you going to like factor in seeing the guy play Thursday versus Sunday? It has a little bit of factor. It's more in the last five rounds, right last time rounds. Oh, right? God. Are you kidding me? Okay.

Both got it. The DAC gamer, not only did they get DAC, they got Drake May. Okay, I think guys when we're looking at this. Those are the two guys we wanted. Okay, I do think that Baker Mayfield is an interesting value here. Oh, man.

It's not like... That really sucked. It doesn't ruin our draft. There's a bunch of quarterbacks, and I will say that we're not a single Cuba build. We're already in round 11. There's been sort of an interesting draft. strategy going around with some really kind of some smart people this year that used to never

happen. Abib actually will do this sometimes. A couple other of the NFFC guys are doing it, where it's like triple, triple tapping quarterback, getting one free look guy in the back half, and then sort of letting week one be a guide, maybe week two, then cut one loose and sort of have three taps. I think that Baker Mayfield, though, guys, uh, why would you take Dak and Drake May? Fuck that guy. Well, guys, we're OTC here. Let's, I think it's Baker Mayfield. I don't want, I don't want Baker Mayfield. I use my one.

Do I get one? Do I get one? Yeah, but the guy who's next on my cue is Luther Burden, who I don't know that he fits with the Rishi. Not really. No, he doesn't. And you have Jordan Addison. I don't think he's the pick here. I would be, I think I would take Mooney here out of all the dudes.

I feel like you're not, you don't, it's not really necessarily an edge to take Mooney here. I, I'm fine with it if you, if you have conviction on him, Rich. and that's like your guy, I do think that we're, we can't necessarily be, keep pushing QB around. If there's a QB, you guys see that.

Then I would still rather have the, okay, so you want to take Justin Fields for the rushing upside? I would probably rather have. Let's take Mooney for you, Rich. I probably have a field. Explain why you want Darnell Mooney. Well,

because this is a team that I think structurally is just going to have to throw. They don't have any depth. They didn't add anyone this offseason. He's going to be out on the field. literally for basically, you know, 90 plus percent of the dropbacks while he's available. You have built-in contingency upside because when you look at all the wide receiver ones, it's only Drake London neighbors and there's one other guy.

Like none of the other wider receiver twos and those teams go anywhere near like the top 40 wide receivers. And so you get that contingency. So you got a guy that's probably going to run 600 routes at face value. You can just plug them in if you have a buy week. Someone gets hurt. you know you're going to get target value. He's paired of the quarterback that wants to push the ball down field too.

And if London misses any time, dude, they've been playing Ray Ray McConnor. I was just, I just wanted to, you're so sharp, Rich. I just wanted to hear you explain it. I took Darnal Mooney the other day in the ninth round of the NFFC live in New York. So I'm with you. And it's sort of the, the best wide receiver pick at ADP. Like if you just factor in like cost, like where I think he's the best pick like in terms of cost. Yeah.

And I think he's in, he's a consideration for us in week one. we're going to talk about him. We've talked about Zach Robinson. Scott, Brett Whitefield and I, we did the pod with you where we both talked about Zach Robinson as the guy that we think could be this year as Liam Cohen, the guy that we sort of start elevating, start seeing like in head coaching jobs next year.

I believe in Zach Robinson. I believe in this offense. I have plenty of Drake London bags, plenty of Bejohn Robinson bags. But I think Mooney makes a lot of sense. And it's a, again, very good structural pick. I think we've actually caught up at wide receiver with Debo and Mooney. And this injury, I know that no, Kyle,

no one wants to really talk about Kyle Pitts, but this Caleb McGarry injury is huge for Kyle Pitts. Like this is the team that's going to need now to, because not only did Caleb McGarry get hurt, but Storm Norton also got hurt. Who's their swing tackle? He's going to miss almost eight weeks. So they're going to need more help at that spot.

So like a guy like Kyle Pitts, who has no blocking resume whatsoever. And he actually just got outstanding. by Charlie Warner the back half of the last year because of his blocking. Like that injury absolutely impacts him as well to open the year. It's a big deal. Like this is a kill McGarry injury. Like people are not talking about like this is a pretty big deal for his Atlanta

Falcons offense. I mean, Bijon Robinson first of all had really kind of wide splits with and without Drew Dalman who left him for agency. And now Caleb McGarry, like this is a team that literally ran outside zone right side 150 times last year on the right side. And you know, they're running back. X, 5.6 yards per carry at 57% success rate running over Caleb McGarry's side. Bejohn had 96 those carries. He was at 5.3 yards per carry, but runs to the middle to the left,

four and a half yards per carry. It goes down to a 43.5 point success rate, like almost a 16% drop. Over the left side, it gets even worse, 4.1 yards per carry. Like this is a massive injury, man. It's not getting talked about. And we've seen like these tackle injuries be like kind of like really be like to throw a rudder into offenses. Like we saw Trent Williams last year when he went down. We've now have Sean Slater out for the year. Obviously, they get to move Joe Alt to left tackle, but they do have to do a little musical chairs like Pipkins their right tackle. Now McCreery being out, who is the blind side tackle for the Falcons. They have a left-hand quarterback. But his run blocking is significant. He's a, he's a dynamic run blocker. I saw

Brandon Thorne, he had the Falcons offensive line 13th and with the injury, moved him to 23rd. That's how big of a deal. He is in terms of being an anchor and what the Atlanta, is it structurally what the Atlanta Falcons want to do? I think it's going to open up more past catching opportunities for Bejan Robinson, which is... I mean, I'm not saying the Bijon's going to fail. I'm just saying it's a big injury, though, for the off, like, in general for the offense. Okay, so guys, we see Chigacqua go off the board. I will say we've already pushed quarterback here.

And now you can take Fields. Well, wait, instead of Baker? Okay. I'll say Baker. I'll say Baker Fields combination would be... Dude, imagine we're in, like, the fantasy champion. I mean, guys, Baker Mayfield had 40 passing touchdowns last year.

We don't get those touchdowns. None of those touchdowns count for points. I know, I know. And the whole touchdown rate with Baker Mayfield, but we're not having to take Baker Mayfield in round eight. We're talking about Baker Mayfield in round 12. This is the guy you wanted two rounds ago.

I'll let you take him. And I will say this, Rich, even though you and I are both like anti-pocket passers with a career high touchdown rate, it's like imagine where, you know, in the tournament round, and we're looking at this big gorilla and it all comes down to Baker.

Is there a more fun quarterback to watch with your money on than Baker Mayfield? I don't know that there is. He's not going to be our only quarterback here. We're going to take a second quarterback with this bill. Joe Mixen pick in round 12. I saw him falling like an absolute rock in New York guys. So Baker Mayfield goes, I will say that we're a tight end, another tight end. is something we should add relatively soon.

I was planning on, I'm hoping in the next round we can get a Luther Burden. Oh, yeah. Yeah, if he's there, we'll take him, Scott. And then just going quantity over quality at tight end where John who Smith, I know we already have shares of. I think he's interesting. Harold Fanon. I like Carol Fanon a lot.

I like Jetavian Sanders very late. I think that Theo Johnson late. I think that this is a year where Joe and Joe and Tom and I talked about this where I feel like it's going to be a big waiver wire week at the tight end position because a lot of these guys are going to be like full time players and they all have sort of pathways. I'll say there's one tight end in our queue though, Scott, that in the 13th round is a really, really good value. And I'm going to throw one other tight end just for maybe round 14 since we sort of have a swing for the fences build. I will say we had a big debate over Terrence Ferguson, and then I went to Abiv's house with the first and 15 crew, and I really sold him Ndeo on T.Ferg as the ultimate last round pick in FFPC. Yeah, you get the free look at the free. Brandon Aubrey off the board.

There goes our Exodia kicker. That's another thing. Well, the Exodia kicker is still on the board. Brandon Aubrey is getting overdrafted for Exxodia. What's interesting is we've seen Denver defense and we've seen Brandon Aubrey steamed so high in some of these live drafts where people are viewing them as ultimate edge picks at the position where I've seen. It happens every year. Yeah. It happens every year.

It happens every one. Once in a while they're, once in a while they're correct on it, Rich. Also, everyone that, everyone that you talk to like what defense the target. If everyone is always telling you to get the Cardinals, like everyone's like Cardinals, Cardinals. Oh, yeah. And every time, every time I hear that, I'm just like, damn, James Conner's about the cooked opening month. Like, every time someone says something about Cardinals' defense, I'm like, oh, so you really tell me James Connor's going to cry. Right, right.

That's a great point. So Luther, Luther Burding goes, the dream is dead, Scott. I'll say that we have a couple of interesting structural options. I like the two running backs in the queue. I'll throw sort of my running back in the queue, but he's probably a little bit. And I'm sure I hate them. Well, I know you hate every, you hate every back. You hate every backup running back.

That's right. I think we're, I think we're, I think we are looking at players one and player three in the queue, which I know, Rich, you like one of them. And one, I like, I like both those guys to be. Okay. So I think both of those guys would be sort of the no brainer ad here because they help us out structurally. It gives us a little bit of upside.

The only issue. is we'd have a double buy, but it's, it's eons in the future and it's not during the playoff. So we wouldn't necessarily worry about that. Really, really fun drafts so far, guys. Just reviewing our team, this is a, this is one of our most fun builds recently, Scott. We haven't argued that much either. It was a little brief arguing, and we've sort of been running pure. So we're- Everyone's got a little piece of this one. Everyone's got to put their little thumbprint a little bit on here. Yeah, it's awesome. It's great drafting with you, Rich. I wish we would have done this.

more often this off season. Maybe next year we'll get a main event in with you. But Baker Mayfield quarterback, we got him super late. Umarion Hampton, Kenneth Walker, Cam Scataboo, uh, Ollie Gordon, C.D. Lamb, Pukon, Rashi Rice, Jordan Addison, Debo Samuel, Darnell Mooney, Sam Leporta. So we get Debo Samuel and Darnell Mooney as sort of bridges to Jordan Addison and Rashi Rice. That'll be a really fun, guys. So we have a pretty scary wide receiver room. Only one tight end, only one quarterback. And we're only at four running backs. We probably need to add a few upside handcuff types. Really fun. And I'll also bring up the free look guys. When we get to round 17, 18, 19, 20, some of those free look guys can be in place. So if you see an

edge pick at defense or kicker in round 15, 16 guys, not afraid to pull the trigger on one of them because again, we're going to have an opportunity to run the waiver wire and get some of these guys that might not be drafted but have some upside cases if we do get some of these free look guys. All right. So we're three picks away here, guys. And we're sitting pretty strong here, sitting pretty strong. We've got two guys in the queue that we really like. We just need somebody to take somebody else and we're going to get one of the two. I would be three versus, I just think that there are so many more.

Now that you already taken Baker, I feel like there's so many quarterbacks we can still get and feel strongly about. But the upside rushing case. I know. Fields separates himself from the other guys. When we're looking to get huge ADP wins in this range of quarterback, it's usually like a Scott Barrett type rushing outside. Or it's a Shanahan guy. Or a rich Rebar Konami code. And I think that we're, you mean, you got the, the, the, uh, the, uh,

upside wins championships, and we got the Konami Code guy in the house, and I have to talk you guys out of a thousand rushing yards at the quarterback position in round 13. Yeah. But Brenton Strange is fine with me, too, guys. I'm literally fine with both. My thing is that when you're comparing the other two positions, I actually agree with everything you said, is just that if we, strange is like the, if it's not strange, like who else is it? Well, I will say one.

position. There's a bunch of guys. I think that we're, it's either strange or we're going to maybe take two or three more of them. Strange could be top five and routes are on at the position. Okay, so let's take Brenton Strange because neither one of you guys seems too excited about Justin Fields, and that's fine. There's going to be some other quarterback options. And also, I don't think Baker is just falling off of a cliff this year. He can regress and still be a QB1. And I think we're some of the parts team. Let's take Brenton Strange. I'm going to throw a few other guys. I really like that value. Scott, this is our second Brenton Strange selection that we've made together. We took them on a team with a B-bag of Tobah. And there's been nothing but positive vibes coming

out of Jacksonville camp. I actually think there's some weird scenario guys where if there's a bunch of injuries in the defensive backfield for Jacksonville and Travis Hunter has to play additional snaps as a cornerback, it actually Brenton Strange would be the one to benefit. Because there's been some vibes in camp that he's sort of just as good as Evan Engram was. They're going to use him a lot. And all the beat reporters seem to be very high on Brenton Strange. So I like getting him as our tight end too, especially only doing it in the 13th round. Scott Barrett, you feel good about that pick? I feel good about it. Yeah. Okay. So I'm just thinking about how if we draft a quarterback in the next round. All that matters at tight end is you get a dude that's a good athlete and runs a ton of routes.

Like if you just get those two things, you let the fantasy gods take the wheels. Like, because it's all it matters. If you look at all these tight ends that like kind of have these pop-up seasons, even ever, in the year he, the only year he was actually really good for fantasy because he's a bunch of like people will cite like Titan overall finishes, which don't really matter. But the one year where he was actually really good on a points per game basis is because he led the position in routes run.

Like, right? And then sometimes you get the holy grail marriage of like Bowers last year where you have like an Uber talent that also runs the most routes. And it's just like, all right, good luck. adding that. But like you, so if you just get a good athlete, that's just going to be on the field running a ton of routes at tight end, like that's enough to create an opportunity for a guy to be a tight end one plus at a low bar position. And I think that exists for strange more so than a lot of the other like tight ends that go like tight end 15 to 25. I think this next pick guys is quarterback

or the running back that I have in the queue where if the guy in front of him goes down, and I think he'd absolutely be electric for a few weeks. I also threw a quarterback at the bottom of our queue that we now have correlation with. And I think that we like the offensive court. Well, Rich, you don't necessarily. He's one of my favorite quarterback picks too, man, especially like in, I mean, we already bet his touchdown passing over. It was like one of the first bets we placed on the site, like when it opened.

I mean, again, dropbacks. They're opening schedules awesome. First two weeks you get Panthers Bengals. what more do you want to plug a guy in to start off? Yeah, I'm I'm sort of with you, and now we have a little bit of correlation. We'll talk about it when we get OTC, because I think this is a really interesting pick,

and I think one, he's getting played in DFS. Everyone's going to play him in DFS these two weeks, but no one wants to draft him, but no one wants to draft him. I draft, I've been drafting him, Rich. I've been drafting him. I appreciate it. So I think he's a perfect, he's a perfect QB2.

And he can suck, though, Scott, and he can get sort of manufactured into production. and also he has a little bit of rushing upside. And we saw last year the quarterback with his same offensive coordinator set a career high in rushing yardage. The same year he set a career high in passing yardage and passing touchdowns. Maybe it's a trend. Maybe it's a trend.

Well, and we've seen it's structurally to the way he's done it, I think is what you're excited for and what you saw. And it's the preseason. We don't want to go crazy. But it's what we've seen in the preseason. I mean, it was the quick passing game. Baker at his quickest time to the, throws and look here. All the Baker faults when he held the ball still existed. And all we've

seen this entire preseason is the same thing. Get the ball out of your goddamn hands, Trevor Lawrence, and let our guys do work. You're getting you're getting outvoted on this one, Scott. I think it's Trevor Lawrence if he's there. We also need a QB2 and there's a QB run right here. I would have I would have caved up for Justin Herbert, but I'm fine with that. Now, I don't mind taking Justin Herbert if he's there in round six. And I'll just point out why. It could be a one week bet, but you get the free look. And then if he doesn't have a huge game on,

you leave him in your lineup. And on Friday, if he puts up a really big performance, we leave him in the lineup and we don't worry about quarterback. So I'm saying this doesn't preclude us from taking Herbert because of the free look element. That's like what I'm saying, Rich, when you get to this point in the draft, Herbert's interesting because if that game flies over, if we get the same thing with Philly and that we had with Philly and Green Bay, year, you know? So, okay, let's take Trevor Lawrence. And look at the pretty pattern we need

with the- It's gorgeous. It's aesthetically pleasing. It's surrounded by the red. But if anybody in the, if anyone in the YouTube chat needs me to scroll back up, just say so, because some people join the chat, but I'm going to roll it down a little bit just so we can see the last few picks. I think that that that makes sense. I, we're going to outright want to play him the first two weeks over Baker Mayfield, probably too, probably most of the front half of the season. Yeah. So I like what we did here, guys. We recovered a quarterback. We didn't reach on quarterback at all, didn't panic, got Ollie Gordon, got Cam Scataboo, got Darnel Mooney, and then still we're able to get a really solid tight end two with upside and able to double tap the quarterback

room with two guys that I think are interesting. I think we're need a couple, we need another running back or two. I think some of those handcuff type players, obviously defense, obviously kicker need to get covered. But structurally, this team is in really fine shape. Joe King likes it. Shout out to Joe King. He's been in every single FFPC stream. Shout out to the really, really, really sharp fantasy points listeners and viewers and readers. One thing I've been super impressed at coming over here is just how knowledgeable the base of fantasy points subscribers is, Scott. And just you built this awesome thing here. And I'm so stoked to be a part of it this year. And hopefully, you know, keep helping fantasy points. I think it's going to be a huge. huge year for us. I think we're getting a lot of hits. It already is. Do you know who Vandelae Industries is? I think I've drafted against him a few times. Yeah, I definitely recognize the name. Definitely a FFPC. Seinfeld reference too. Very interesting. Seinfeld reference. Yeah, very sure. Someone thought they were drafting against John and John was

vandalay industries just because all the picks be made were like typical John picks. But I don't know. anyway, yeah, you guys gave me Cam Scataboo in round nine, and I feel like since then I've been chilling. You know, I got my way on that. And I'll even... And Rushie Rice, Scott. This is a dream draft for you. That's right.

And Kenna Walker. And Kenna, Luca. That's right. This is what I spoke to people. I mean, this, this team is the potential to be an absolute unit. This is what I told you when we did be a BDraft. I said, like, the most Miss Bryce players on FFPC right now, I'm seeing are Kenneth Walker, Rishi Rice, Cam Scataboo,

and so we got those guys. We're off to a killer start. Okay, I moved. I agree. I really, really like this build and not just sort of lip service because we're drafting it together and I'm talking it into existence. I think it's a very strong build. We just see the, let me see this.

Okay, so I'm going to throw a couple more guys in the queue, but I sort of like the way this is breaking for us based on what we need. Let me pull this up. I put the team, I put a, uh, one position at the top of the queue, which I actually think in the 15th round is an edge pick. I've seen them go rounds higher. It's set it and forget it type category. Uh, there goes Harold Fanning guys.

We got two more tight ends in the queue. I really like the running back in the queue. I think he's, I think he's a very interesting handcuff type, uh, where you're talking about a, if the starter. goes down. I think he's north of 15 points per game in a great offense. And we could use a running back. So I'm pretty open with this one, guys. Also throw one more handcuffed type in the queue. I know you're not so crazy about the one I just added, Scott. I mean, it's fine. We're this deep into the draft. That's fine. RICO Dattle went. Yeah,

we're fine. Yeah. That's the problem. Did Rico, has Rico Donald been drafted? Any player you want to take after him. Who's your favorite handcuff, Rich? Do you have one? Like, yeah, what what definition of handcuff are we prescribed? Just RB2. Let's say after, let's say, let's say handcuffs that are available after round 11, not like the, the guys that are getting steamed in around 10 or highs that are available after round 11. Yeah, like your traditional handcuffed territory. I think just stand-alone value probably Shippily would be my favorite guy because I just think he's really good. I think he's a really good player, too. He's a really good pass catcher. Yeah. And then obviously just I think if Seekhorn goes down, A.J. Dillon comes in and gets,

you know, 12 plus carries. I mean, either way, Jalen Hertz is rushing in the touchdowns. I don't think A.J. Dillon's like, because you'd always be worried about a guy like A.J. Dylan for something we talk about like Chris Rodriguez and J. Cicorri Crosky Merritt. Like, does this dude run it to the five and then doesn't get the, you know, he gets varsity blues? Like, AJ Dylan doesn't matter. Like, because J.L. Hertz is. is the dude jalen hertz gets the score all the touchdowns guys i'm going to pound the table for a particular pick if they're here is it at the top of your cue because i love it yeah it's it's the edge and it's set it and forget it and there's i really hope they don't get to like that who's

doing waivers on this this team yeah this is i'll i'll handle the waivers guys i'll handle i'll get we'll have a nice we took a tight end we can make another pretty pattern that would be we could we could It's the Nissan Black Friday event where you can...

No, Keaton, our queue just got decimated. So we had Keaton Mitchell. We had the Denver Broncos defense, both in the queue. To me, the best handcuff option back on the board is Taj Brooks. 15th round doesn't feel great for him. I would say we could go back to the title. and well. But again, some of these guys might be there in another round. We are very, very flat here. Structurally, do you have a opinion here, Rich or Scott? Say a position that you'd like to add if you

see. I would just say Justin Herbert's interesting just because, you know, you brought up before. Let's take the free look. Yeah. And let's let's bank the free look. This might be a, hey, they might come out and look really, really good offensively. And we might say, guys, this is we want to just carry three for a few weeks. I think that the, it's, it's interesting. You actually seen, it's sort of a, I've seen, I'll say Dan Williamson's been doing it. I'll say that Nelson Seuss has done it a couple times. I've seen multiple really sharp guys in high stakes. A B-Baggwitoba has been doing this for years where triple tapping quarterback in a 20-man roster used to sort of be like, oh, this guy doesn't know what he's doing. But when you wait on quarterback like we did and we do it and you have the free look

element. It's sort of a, let's make a bet that out of these three guys, two of them are guys we want on our roster for the entire year. And if, a rich, you said it yourself, if Trevor Lawrence looks like complete crap against that front-loaded schedule, you got to later, Trevor Lawrence. We'll see you later. And if Greg Roman wants to play caveman football for the first three weeks of the year, we'll say see you later, Justin Herbert. We liked watching you in Brazil. So at least it'll make that opening Friday super, super fun for us, guys. Yeah, and don't forget with these teams, it's like on average teams are dropping like two players in week one.

And so Justin, one of these quarterbacks as a guy we're dropping and we're so okay with that. Week one is where you want to be adding and dropping players. It'll probably be the first quarterback we drafted. 100% agree with you. Yeah, but we'll enjoy that. We will really enjoy that Friday game and we will be rooting for them. Here's what I'll say about Baker Mayfield,

Rich, just a kid. I know, I know. Brett Whitefield had his top 32 quarterbacks based on film. He had Baker in the top 10. Separate from that, we had the same time they were writing this article, Scott D. Benedetto, who was a scout with the Browns for 10 years, now writes for fantasy points. I asked him to give his, you know, overrated, underrated quarterbacks. He was like, most underrated quarterback in the game is Baker Mayfield.

he would be top 10 for me, didn't see Brett's article. And so a lot of film watchers, ball knowers, very high on Baker Mayfield's talent. Don't think it's just a league. I would agree. I mean, he really only had like that, that one like really bad season where he floated when he first left Cleveland to Carolina to the Rams that like that double year where he got, you know, released midseason. Because the last year at Cleveland, he played hurt the entire year.

Like just he played injured with that shoulder injury. And then the year before that, they were what? They were 11 and 5. I'd made the playoffs. Everyone was feeling great, right, about like the trajectory. They finally figured it out. And then he comes back and has back-to-back really good seasons with Tampa Bay the last two years. I don't have a problem with it.

It's just, again, like the way I structurally play, these pocket passers that have these spike seasons. And their opening two months are so bad. Like, you're just not going to feel good starting him in like so many of these games. And it's also like Michael Pennix. Go ahead. We're OTC here. I think that the pick is, for me, Jatavian Sanders to get our tight end three because I think he, a lot of the pro Xavier Leggett arguments for early season with Coker off the field,

I think Sanders could be a guy that's heavily added in waiver wires. I don't think he'll be there in round 20, round 18 anymore. I think it's taking Sanders or taking Theo Johnson. I threw Kate Otten in the queue because we have the correlation, but I'd be more excited. are out for week one rich do you know uh yeah he wasn't supposed to i haven't see it for sure did he get put on nify which who is that the track Tommy tremble Tommy tremble's not gonna I don't think tremble's gonna be anything I think it's I think it's I think JT Sanders but take Sanders then yeah I think I think I think I've a big question on him yeah he got let me see now because uh I was trying to see

what we got him here I'm gonna throw one free look at he's practicing he's practicing I don't think he's anything, guys. I think, no, but he's a run blocker is what he is. Yeah, he's a run. I'm going to put one guy at the top of the queue for a vibes-based free look. And then another guy in the second guy in the queue, which has a little bit of upside. And I think if his usage is better than expected in week one,

I don't see any upside for any wide receiver on the board now that Dante Thornton went. Well, again, I'm going to move this running back all the way up. How about that? Okay, I like that. I like the running back in the queue. All right. All right.

Nice. I like him. I like him. You don't have to twist my arm on that one. But I do think the free look, the free look. The free look is the free look. We remembered, we remembered what happened last year in Brazil. I will say that Keandre Lambert Smith.

I mean, if that field is anywhere in the shape it was last year, that's the only thing that can maybe make the Chiefs look like the Chiefs a couple years ago. I will throw one more one more player. I moved them up in the queue. 17th round, just a strong structural pick. I haven't that game last year because that field, because no defender could stay on their feet,

27 plays of 10 or more yards, 12 plays of 20 or more yards, six plays of 30 or more yards. Like, it was just like no one could, it was just a splash play delight in that game. because nobody could stay on their feet. Rich, who is your favorite late round lottery ticket, you know, upside play? Prashard Smith.

I do like Prashard Smith, especially in here because, like Theo said, but the free looks, the free look. And also, he's good. Also, I think he was underdrafted as far as like the, I'm, listen, I'm no NFL scout.

I'm no, like, but I thought he was undervalued from where he went to the draft where I thought coming in he would go, because this is a player I thought that offered. like he wasn't just a pass catcher. Like I thought he, his rushing profile was better than people had assumed. And then you come with that just elite like special teams and big playability out of the receiving game.

I thought it was like. And then he goes to the Chiefs and you're like, oh, shit, we're about to get Darwin Thompson again. Like, you know, like you just can't like shade those ghosts. But it's such a good fit for like what they want to do.

That it makes sense for him to get on the field. I mean, even that drop he had that last week of the preseason, like if he's able to catch like that's the type of stuff you're excited about, right? Like even though it was a drop. It was a tough catch. I don't know if I would label like a full drop, but like we wanted to see it make that play more than you don't.

But just getting used in that capacity on that like inside wheel route downfield, like they get a 20-air yard target with Patrick Browns. Like this is the stuff that starts to make it move a little bit. Do you like him more than the most talent running neck in the Houston, Texas backfield? I could I can be on board. It's funny is that Bresorkept gets drafted after after we talk about all that. Um, my, my, my, my, my Texans take and I did it with Ryan too and I was on to him is I really think structurally they're going to throw more than anyone thinks that they're going to do. I think they're, well, this is what keeps me up at night, Rich is like, how high should I be on Christian Kirk and Jaden Higgins? Is it like, because I bump them up in my rankings and I'm like, should they be like wide receiver 33 and 34 just because like, that's a valuable role. Stefan Diggs. Christian is legitimately undervalued. And the reason I say that is because he's not.

not a puddle jumper slot receiver. Like he's a huge ADD guy. Like he's averaged over nine air yards for target every year of his career. He gets shot plays. Like he's a dude that wins vertical. He's just not like he's not Tyler Boyd. Like this is a dude that's like he's winning downfield. And he can play and he can play outside in two wide receiver sets too.

Like he's not just like this tertiary slot guy is the guy. He's like legitimate juice. He just the he is the he needs to stay on a field. Their nickname for him in Houston is the slot demon. That's what I love. Is that his nickname or is that Evans nickname? I don't know where to start. That's what they've been called, like the cornerbacks,

I've been calling him. Kaelin Bullock, first thing I noticed his hands, he's got real strong hands, great routes, slot demon. That's what we call him. Nico Collins and Christian Kirk. Slot magician, slot magic. He and the slot going crazy.

Because Nico's going to play in the slot more too. Like they're all going to play. That's the beauty of this offense, this Nick Cayley offense. I think they're going to run a lot more 11. because my concern for the guys, the non-mixen running backs that we're trying to sort out is that this offensive line, I don't think is good enough to make any of those guys good. This is like King Moonracer built this offensive line.

Like these dudes have washed out everywhere. Like they like dudes like Ed Ingram and Cam Robinson and Lakin Tomlinson. These dudes have all failed in multiple places. Like this is just not a good group. It's going to be masked by schematics and giving C.J. Stroud actual agency. I mean, who what a concept. your quarterback being involved with like calling protection and be adjusting plays.

Guys, we're one pick away. I'll throw out that the Minnesota Vikings defense is a defense I think is very good. And also Minnesota, if you look at the schedule, guys. I like the running back. I feel very good about the running back. I'm going to keep up for the running back person. The running back might come back around. I'll just throw you the schedule.

Yeah, kicker is going to come back around. I don't see the running back in the defense. Okay, so let's go running back then. but I will say we'll go over the, I'll just say for the Minnesota, Minnesota defense, you get the Bears in week one, Ben Johnson's first game on Monday night football. Then you talked about the offensive line injuries in Atlanta. They get them in Minnesota. Then week three is a difficult one against the Bengals, but again, it's in Minnesota

and the Bengals' offensive line might struggle against that front seven. Arizona is on the board, though, right? Then you guys get, you get Pittsburgh. Then you get the Cleveland Browns. So that front-loaded schedule for the video just doesn't want to have to set, you know, stream defenses with that. We, I mean, I think it's streaming defense. I'll tell you what they're there here. You could do it.

I think streaming defense is optimal. But again, I'd rather have the starting running back for the Houston Texans in week three and beyond. I just think if you had, yeah, if you had a running back you liked, if we were at like a spot where we didn't know what to pick, I'd say we'd go out and just do it. But Scott clearly had a guy he wanted on the roster. Yeah. Like always use that. If you want like a skill player versus a defense, you always take the skill player. I'm like in this relationship.

This is like, you know, we're in divorce proceedings and you're like the official mediator or like, you know, you're trying, you're like our relationship therapist or whatever. You're trying to bring us back together. It's like Theo, Scott had a running back you really wanted here. It's the balance too. We're also pretty, we have a really good frontloaded running back room, but we're a little bit fragile in terms of total running backs. So Damian Pierce gets us to our fifth running back. That's about as light as you ever really want to go in these sort of builds. And I actually don't feel the pressure to take another one.

I'll throw one more free look guy into the queue. Kareem Hunt, guys, it would be very tilting for Isaiah Pacheco managers, but Kareem Hunt is effective in short yardage. Maybe he gets the goal line work, guys. Yeah, if you get the goal on work, you're not getting the RB1 role. But again, it's a one, it's a one week back here, and it's in round 18. And we're probably going to churn this guy anyway. The hit rates here, I think that we need a defense.

I think number five has the potential to be a 600 fab guy. And he'll be there. He'll be there in the 20th round. Okay. All right. Well, do we have, do we know, we got to take a kicker and we got to take a defense. So we only have one last pick, right? Yeah.

Well, I would rather lean into. a preferred defense preferred kicker and then take this guy around. I'm fine with that. So let's look at we have a defense in the queue. We also have a kicker in the queue. I'm going to load one more in. Load this in. Dallas Cowboys defense.

We got, we got no. So Digi Zua. We got Kenny Clark. Maurice Lee Wafu. San Francisco is an interesting. I think San Francisco is an interesting defensive option here. I have the actual, the actual splits because that game's already on the site and it's free. You can go read it.

But yeah, since they drafted Michael Parsons, the, the Cowboys have allowed 5.6 yards per play with him off the field. It should basically be 30th in the NFL. They've allowed also a 5% touchdown rate passing with him off the field. Like, it's not good. Literally insane. I saw that Bill Barnwell tweet. It's like legitimately the craziest tweet I've ever seen. What a huge win for the Packers.

trading two round first round picks and extending a guy to massive contract and it's a big one I think as a Giants fan who faced him twice a year we're fragile although you although you do hate to see the guy that you traded for needs an epidural to play in week one maybe you definitely don't feel good about it uh I think it's Minnesota defense here guys there you go there you go it all worked out listen you guys you guys both got the guy milk chicks are shared guys milk chicks are shared All right. So we have defenses off the board. We have a free look or a Exodia round 20 tight end.

And we have a kicker to go. Well, we got to take your Exodia kicker. We can take them. I also like free look kickers. Who's the Exxed? Jeremy Bates is the Exodia kicker this year. CD Lamb, we took them the first round. Pukinakua in round two.

O'Marian Hampton in round three. Kenneth Walker in round four, Sam Leporta in round five. Then we took Rashi Rice, Jordan Addison, Debo, Samuel, Cam Scatabu in round nine, Ollie Gordon in round 10, Darnell Mooney in round 11. We triple tap the quarterback position, round 12, Baker Mayfield, Trevor Lawrence in round 14, Justin Herbert, round 15. We took Brenton Strange in round 13 in between those quarterback runs.

Then we took Jatavian Sanders in round 16, Damien Pearson, round 17, Minnesota defense in round 18. Your thoughts on this team, Rich. I love it. I think it's really solid. I think it's got the right blend of, you know, could be like a nice, like, better floor guys that you like, but also has like the upside outcome swings for all these guys, right?

Like obviously we would love for weeks 15 through 17 to be able to trot out CD Lampuka and Rishi Rice. And then by then, you know, is Hampton now like just firmly trucking along? is Kenneth Walker still playing, obviously? And then do we get one of these hits, whether it be an Ali Gordon, a Scadabo? And you're just talking about like, that's just a lot of juice.

Like I said, this thing, it has potential to be an absolute unit, like if it all works out. And I know you can say that about any team that you've drafted or whatever, but like really, like this is kind of what you look at. It's like, hey, week's 15 through 17. Like, we're there.

It's going to be a problem for some people. Yeah, I don't know if anyone's still listening or you just tuned out once we drafted a defense. but stay watching for at the end when Theo gives his rundown and how this team is going to win us a million dollars. He is so good at that. This is an easy, easy take guys. I know it is. I know it is. I will throw out there to you, Scott. Drake Lund is out for the playoffs, which no, none of us want.

No, we don't want that. We're not going to say. There's other cases for Mooney. Scott, so I'll say just as a, I know we're going to get into this argument because there's a guy you really, really want to take. but if we took a free look guy, we could add your guy who's probably going to go undrafted and not even be a huge fab guy. I think the free look edge is where we want to leave.

You can do that without a kicker, right? Well, no, we're going to take a kicker. Oh, you're saying you can do that. Okay. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah. All right. I'll sign up on that.

Yeah. Who is that number four? Is that number four? Is that what he's? Yeah, no, he's talking about number three in our queue. And I think the only way we would change that up, Let me take a look at one thing, Scott. The only way we'll change that up is if a couple of guys that are ahead of him in ADP

at his position go, like in these next three picks, then we can adjust that. We'll take your guy. But if it goes the way I think, I think most people are done with that, I think there's one tight end I'm going to put into the queue that somebody might take, just so you see he's in the queue. We're not going to take them. I think we take one of the free look guys here or we take our kicker. I have no interest in that. tight. Don't. I just put him in the queue to show you the guy I think so than go. I know you hate that. I hate it. He's your least favorite tight end in fantasy, I think at this point. I the only person who hates him more than me is Arthur Smith. So. All right. So I think I put the guy in the queue that's also a free look and a position of need. I think he makes sense. Anything to add on that one, guys? I just I really feel good about my tight end. Well, I think you're I think I think if we play it correctly, we can add.

add him off of waiver. I'll trust you. You're the waiver goat. I don't really are the waiver goat. I'm going to feel bad if he's taken, but I think that like he's the kind of guy that does, I agree that there's a lot of upside case. I don't think he gets taken. If you feel good at it, you can,

we can risk it. Yeah. So Harrison. But it is funny that, it is funny though that he doesn't get drafted and Fanon and does, but it's like kind of this, it's this very similar arguments for both. Right. Well, I'm saying. So I'm saying it's like a four round valid.

you. This is the same thing as the key Let's take Harrison Bucker here, guys, because we get a free look out of him, and he's been a successful fantasy kicker in years past. How does the free look work at the onesies? Don't you still, like, you'd have to still cut a guy, right? Like, I always forget what it is for the onesies. No, you could just take him out of your lineup and cut him.

So you can release the guy that played. Yes. So we can. I always forget what the ones is. So basically, we would take him, we'd put him on the bench, and then we'd set a waiver, and it would come in through. So yeah, you don't have to like, yeah, you're good, Rich. I always forget what the onesies one, the onesie spots are.

If like you had to hold him for a week, I couldn't remember. Shout out to Joe King. Debo, Debo Samuel is going to have a good start to the year. I think Debo's in a good spot. Debo's in a real good spot. Joe King says you have no upside at wide receiver for the first month. You need Debo or Mooney to go off. But I'd also argue that we don't necessarily need him to go off off.

We have such strength that the wide receiver won. wide receiver two spot. And the running back one, running back two spot, barring injury is going to give us a lot of production. Laporta is going to give us tight on one production. I think like Debo in the flex,

I feel pretty good about that. And Mooney should be out there, potentially in the flex. You know, he's not wrong. So we got, no, he's not. We have to play those two guys.

You have to play those two guys. And then who's our two friends? Or you could play, you could also play Brenton Strange in week one. Rich, where it's a game that's going to go over in tight-end premium. I think that's a pretty good spot for Brent and Strange. He's going to be a really popular DFS play in week one. I can already tell you that.

Yeah. All right. So I think. Especially with Cohen's commentary on Travis Hunter today, like that you're going to see a lot of Brent and Strange in DFS week one. I'll throw one other guy in the queue that I'm just surprised he hasn't been taken because there's been some 15th round sightings of him recently because he was very strong in the preseason.

I'll just throw him in there just to get a look and see how he is. But we're sort of committed to this free look. But I like the other Denver wide receiver personally. Yeah, I think. I do think that he's not wrong about it because we have no other options. We're starting to fill those two spots. It has to be Mooney and Debo. Like there's no, well, outside of Strange, you didn't say straight.

That's it though. We only have three possible to fill those two flexes. Yeah. Or scatibu. It just comes out of the gates, which would be so awesome. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, standard, especially if, uh, trembles out. I'd feel great about that.

So I'm hoping that we get our free look guy here. Yeah. This will be a good way to end the draft for the vibe. J.J. Smith's Chiefs there. That's right. That's right. It always had to be Juju. People are going to be so mad when Juju plays a lot week one. And like they're like, it'll be disgusting. McWont Thornton to play.

Outscores, uh, you see, are worthy. Oh my God. I would not be able to be trusted with my phone if that happened. All right. So we're two picks away from getting a very fun end game pick here. And then we're going to tell you how this team wins a million dollars. All right. So I like this team, guys. This is a fun way to end the drafts or live streams. This has been really, really good. All right. Evan McPherson goes. All right, one more pick and then we get them. And the chat is going to go wild because they love this pick, guys. It's the pick of the draft.

It's the pick of the draft. You've all waited for this whole time. I really hope we don't get sniped on this one. We did get a couple of times. We got sniped a couple times throughout here. Yeah, we got to, it was that, it was that Keaton Mitchell, that Keaton Mitchell turn that,

that was a little bit tilting for us. And the Denver Broncos defense. Yeah, it was, yeah, Mitchell, and there was another spot I thought, too, we were really on a guy. man. Well, Drake May. It was Drake May, right? Yeah. Okay. So we're going to take Lambert Smith, and we're going to have Lambert Smith and Justin Herbert, three look. This is basically how it's going to go down. When Terrence Ferguson finishes as the overall tight end six, you are going to be kicking yourself.

I'm going to hear about it over and over and over again. This, listen, this team is blessed because look at the freaking cross in the middle of the draft. We're, this, is the nice we we're in contention for the banana shout out to the ffPC if you want to jump into the ffpc streets use the code points get $25 off really really a fun place to play fantasy if you're at the ffpc live drafts come over and say hi to me going to be drafted on thursday and Friday also we'll be drafted an NFFC out in Vegas so the way this team wins a million dollars guys pretty easy. CD Lamb becomes the next 200 target player in the NFL. Lamb's wide receiver one overall season, two seasons ago will look like peanuts compared to what we're going to get this year. CD Lamb averages 26

points per game, goes full on Cooper Cup. Pukina Kua finishes as the wide receiver two right behind CDLam has 185 targets. And guys, Pukina Kua, the whole Pukinakua doesn't catch touchdowns argument. He has 11 touchdown catches this year. nuts. Omarian Hampton, we already laid it out for you. Throughout the year, he's an RB1, about the RB 11, RB12, but he takes it up a notch. In the fantasy playoffs, he has six touchdowns, including three against Dallas in week 16. O'Marion Hampton is a first round pick in 2026 drafts. Kenneth Walker stays healthy the entire season, averages 18 points per game. Clint Kubiak guys is going to be in contention for a head coaching job because Kubiak,

the vibes there. He's going to look at it like a genius. LaPorta, the silences the haters that push him down to round five, finishes as the tight end two, leads all tight ends in receptions. Rashi Rice comes back. Is Rashi Rice from weeks one, two, three last year. Easy, easy, easy one. Jordan Addison is Jordan Addison to end the year last year, spike week after spike week. Debo Samuel has a vintage Samuel year. Leads all wide receivers in rushing attempts.

is 15 points per game. And guys, we have a dilemma week in, week out. Which wide receiver do we bench? Because these guys are playing so well. Week one, the New York Giants have an opportunity to beek the Washington commanders. Tyrone Tracy, who had already fumbled two times, drops a touchdown in the end zone. Brian Dable drops to his knees. I cannot believe it.

Russell Wilson falls to the ground, face in the grass. And that's it. It's a Camp Scataboo show. Scott Barrett goes absolutely. Wild on X. Scatabo starts week two and on. Cam Scataboo has 65 receptions in year one, finishes as the RB 18 on the season. Ollie Gordon, Devon A-chan, hey guys, for this particular bill, Devon A-chan is this year's Christian McCaffrey in a bad way, doesn't play. Ollie Gordon ends up being this year's Bucky Irving, the day three running back who ends up

finishing with near RB1 numbers, averages 20 touches a game. Ollie Gordon looks like 20, 23, Raleh Gordon. Darnel Mooney. Rich, you can lay the, what's a great Darnel Mooney season look like to you? He pushes like 85 catches, 1,200 yards, and we get like, what, eight touchdowns, six to eight touchdowns. Okay. All right. Well, we'll take it. We'll take it. A very, a very. It's more about when it's, it's about, yeah, putting in the, where the big weeks come. Yeah, yeah. Mooney's going to give us depth throughout the year. He's our, he's our byweek filling guy and he crushes every time we put him in the lineup. Week 17 guys, you got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield has already thrown 35 touchdown passes on the year. Week 17, we get the

Tampa Bay Buccaneers in state against the Miami Dolphins pregame Baker Mayfield looks across the field as teammates. He goes, guys, I got this. They need a win week 17. They're all motivated. Amecacca Bucca is has been going nuts. Bucke's been going nuts. Bucke's been going nuts. Mike Evans having another strong year. Chris Godwin fully healthy. Baker Mayfield reaches in his back pocket, pops a pouches in right in his cheek, goes out there and passes for five touchdown passes. Baker is loose. We end up getting a five touchdown pass game from Baker Mayfield in the fantasy championship. And that's about it, guys.

I don't have anything else, Scott. I think that was beautiful. I think it was a thing of beauty and we're speaking it into existence. and I think we're going to be millionaires in six months. Yeah, yeah, we're going to split it up, even, Stephen, three spots. And we'll keep a couple credits. And if we win it all, Rich is going to come on and draft like 10 FFPC main events with us right here on Fantasy Points YouTube next season.

How about that, Rich? I mean, listen, I love it. So, listen, I love always drafting with you guys. It's fun to always come on and shoot these bullets. This is the best time, too, like to be drafting. Like, you know, it's just why. Because more things that crazy stuff happen. happens. Like the boards all look different this time of the year.

Rich, you've crushed it on this channel multiple times. You were on dynasty points recently. You've come on school of Scott a bunch of times. You've come on my podcast as well throughout the years. Let everybody know where they can find your work throughout the season. What is like a week for Rich Rebar look like? What, like where can they find it? And what's your cadence on podcast, all that good stuff. Yeah, a lot of pain during the season. This is the one week I do get to work ahead. So I have already like started working ahead. But in C. I write up every single game of the season, you know, kind of detailed notes. You've heard me on shows or, you know, I've read stuff in the past mine.

I just go in deep on every game, cover, try to every angle. Things are DFS in that boat. I always do like a DFS article at the end of the week. That's like kind of like my plays are DFS and my core plays, my tournament plays and like games I'm stacking. And then hang out with subscribers on Sunday as we kind of, you know, go into kickoff. But I'll be on a bunch of shows throughout the course. the season. I do a show on Wednesday nights,

I do a DFS show with Hilo. Who you guys have relationship with? His Hilo is still doing stuff with you guys this year? He just dropped a banger article, but he's not

doing anything with us in season. Yeah, well, Hilo's a great. I do a DFS show on my Friday. Connor Allen was drafting alongside us. He had the- He was two. He said he was two in the draft. He came into the chat earlier. I missed it. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah. And then I also'm going to do a show this year with Pat Crane on Fridays where. Damn, that's awesome. We break down kind of like our two articles that we do. We're breaking down games, just bouncing ideas off each other. So busy, busy, busy in season.

It's, it's, it's a bittersweet. Like, yes, it's a, it is a lot of work. But it's like, you know, every time you start working a lot, you remember like I get to work in the toy store, uh, for adults, man. Like, I can't take any of this for granted. I get to cover football. I'm blessed to do it. I'm grateful that people allow me to do it, give me a platform to do it. I hope more people come along for the ride with us this season. But I hope everyone, if they don't, you know, you all have a great season. You know, stay blessed and hope for Rishi Rice to just come back and take us all to title town. And Rich Rebar, you've got to come on School of Scott with us a couple of times, too.
