Breaking down the best picks that fantasy managers can make in rounds one through 10. Theo Greminger, Fantasy Football Daily, right here on Fantasy Points YouTube. Ha, ha, let's him. That's the old cheat. Join today by my guy, Dave Kluge of Football Guys. This is a two-part episode. This is like a big crossover. I don't know.

Like, it's interesting because we do this once a year, Dave. I don't know what I would compare this to if we're like looking for like a movie or a TV show where there's some sort of crossover because it's opposite channels here. But we're going to drop our favorite picks, the best and worst ones, in rounds one through 10 right here on fantasy points. And then later this week over on Dave's podcast and over on your guys YouTube channel, we're going to drop rounds 11 through 20. And we're looking at specifically Draft King's best ball contest ADP. So this is full PPR. So if you're a redraft manager and you're like, I don't want best ball content, it's about the same.

If you go to NFFC, if you go to FFPC, the ADPs are close enough when you look at this sort of a format. So Dave, let everybody know where people can find the next part for this one. Yeah, YouTube.com slash at Football Guys Fantasy. You can also search Football Guys, Fantasy Football Show, whatever it is, that you listen to your podcast. But this is fun to do, man. Like, you know, I'm sure you, just like me, are deep in the drafting weeds at this point.

And like you very quickly kind of figure out what guys, you like and dislike in every single rounds. And it's going to change between now and kickoff, you know, when everyone starts drafting their redraft teams in week one. But there's some big edges right now where I'm seeing some players that are valued two, three rounds lower than they should be. So I'm excited to get into this and see where we agree and where we disagree. Yeah, a big shout out to the live audience yesterday for supporting episode number one

over like our live streams. We're going to be doing this every single day at 10 in the morning on the East Coast. Mike Schope joined me yesterday. Now Dave Klugey today. And things change. And I know that like, you know, you talk about going live versus uploading content. Yesterday I dropped a second show that I recorded in the morning. And one guy that I recommended as a value at cost was Josh Jacobs.

That ship may have sailed. I'm getting fried in the YouTube comments. But what are you going to do, Dave? You know, things happen. And I, you mentioned the ADP's moving around. Latest information on Josh Jacobs current ADP without getting into all the off the field stuff. We saw a 502 ADP over in a $350 contest in FFPC. Do you think that's enough of a price point where it makes sense considering he was a two three turn guy or would you be looking

for sort of a cheaper entry point if you did want to, you know, risk this sort of off the field news? Yeah, I think it's really tough. That's probably about where he'd fall into is that a fifth round right now, but we also see all the time that like the immediate reaction is always so much worse than what actually happens. Like the way the NFL moves, they take their time with things like this. Court dates end up getting pushed out. So I think it's probably too easy early to have like a really strong take here. But my guess is that this probably ends up being more of a 2027 problem, if anything at all. I mean, of course we could see them just drop the hammer now. But we do see that the NFL is kind of as slow as they can to take action on stuff like this.

without any sort of, you know, I don't know, like the legal terminology, but like until somebody is like actually found guilty, the NFL is usually just going to sit on their hands. So I wouldn't expect any sort of suspension unless this really starts picking up steam quickly. Yeah, I mean, we're definitely not lawyers here, but you do worry about things like the commissioner's exempt list and things like that. So I wonder if the fifth round price point is going to stay static. We'll keep monitoring, you know, the drafts over at FFC, NFPC, NFFC,

We'll cover it here. I'm sure I'm going to talk about it later this week with Scott Barrett and sort of ways to sort of pivot off of this. And we're going to talk about some Green Bay Packers today. So the way we're doing this is we're going to talk about our favorite pick in round one and our least favorite pick in round one. We're going to go all the way through round 10. And then we're going to run it back over on Dave's channel. We're going to go rounds 11 through 20. So why don't we get it started?

Big shout out to everybody in the live chat now. let us know if you agree with these picks, if you disagree with these, and picks you're liking to make inside a round one. Why don't you get us started with your first round pick that you love making right now? Yeah, I think we both would probably go with like Bijan or Gibbs, like the top two picks, but trying to find a value in round one. Justin Jefferson right now falling late into round one. This is a guy who just three years ago was the top scoring wide receiver in fantasy football. And we saw last year it was horrendous with J.J. McCarthy, but we're expecting Kyler Murray to be out there.

And if you look back last year when Justin Jefferson was playing with Carson Wentz, he was still the Justin Jefferson of old, giving us over 100 yards per game, scoring touchdown. So I think that there's this fear right now because of what we saw over the whole season last year with Justin Jefferson. But assuming that Kyler Burry is going to be the quarterback there, I think Justin Jefferson immediately returns right back to the top five receiver he has been for the last half decade. Yeah, I mean, last year drops down to like wide receiver 35 and half point PPR leagues. PPR leagues does a little bit better. I think that if we just look at how successful multiple quarterbacks have been in this Minnesota system, if Kyler Murray ends up winning the job as we anticipate he will, I think it's going to solidify everything.

Justin Jefferson ends up being sort of the same value that he's represented in so many years. So it's so very interesting to see like early second round Justin Jefferson. We're seeing that in some of these FFPC leagues. But over on Draft Kings, I still think it'd make. sense taking him over in round one. For me, I'm going to go closer to the top. You mentioned those two running backs, and that's how I'm going to rank them, where it's Bijan Robinson, Jemir Gibbs, or Jemir Gibbs, Bejohn Robinson. I think that's the way you should approach the top two picks. But I have had some access to Jemar Chase at the 105. I took Jemar Chase at the 103 in a big FFPC draft the other night.

I think it's like a return of the king type season. I think Jemar Chase is, could Jamar Chase's 2026 season could look way more like his 2024 season. And we know 2025 was special as well. And when we talk about elite target earners, we haven't seen somebody at this level like Jamar Chase has given us the last two years. I make this prediction every year, it seems like, but I think Jamar Chase could be on a collision course with 200 targets at some point in his career. And why not this year?

Cincinnati did a lot of work on the defensive side of the ball, which is sort of a negative towards embracing this offense at full scale. But I think the Bengals, even with the improved defense, they're still going to be a ton of shootouts. They have a very consolidated offense. Joe Burroughs going to be healthy. I'm all over Jamar Chase. Anywhere I can get them between 103, 105, 106, absolute smash pick.

And I think there's a little bit of an argument right now going on in the community between Jamar Chase, Pukua, Jackson Smith, and Jigba for the wide receiver one overall. And I'm looking to profit off of that. it's easily Chase for me. Yeah, I'm torn between Puka and Chase. I kind of go back and forth, and I'm kind of at the point where I just will leave it up to ADP, depending on the platform that I'm drafting on.

Like, I want one of those top four picks this year. When I'm drafted, if you can get Bejan, Gibbs, Chase, or Puka, you're feeling pretty good about that. I feel like there's a tear fall off after those top four. But, yeah, Chase could easily be the wide receiver one this year, and I think that you should be drafted as such. Talk about the worst pick inside of round one. Who's the player that you're having difficulty,

clicking on right now. Theo, I know you can empathize here. Like there's nothing worse than being in on a player. That player breaks out and then the very next year we have to deal with the new price tag. And last year, Jackson Smith-Dijibba in round three was the easiest pick to make in fantasy. I had him on over 35% of my rosters last year, but now paying a top five pick for him, I just can't get there. Like everything broke right last year. The efficiency was off the charts. He's in this Clint Kubiak offense. Sam Darnold was out there looking like one of the best quarterbacks in football. I'm just expecting some regression as a whole from the Seattle offense. I still think Jackson Smith-Niggo is going to be the primary target in this offense,

and I think that he can return top 10 value, but having to spend a top five overall pick on him, using a top three wide receiver pick on him, that's just a little bit too rich for my blood. This isn't a high-volume offense. It's a very good defense, and last year he got there on efficiency, not volume, and my fear is that if that efficiency just takes a slight dip, he's not going to be able to return that top-three value, so love the player, but I just can't pay that top five cost for them this year. Yeah, I mean, it's not an anti-JSN take.

I think if JSN was going at like the eight or the nine, it would be much more comfortable type price point. And it sounds like a small difference, but it's really not. I just look at JSN and then I look at some of those running backs, where if I take JSN at like the 105, I don't think that the ceiling outcome is there like it is for a Jamar Chase or if he can stay fully healthy this year. Nakua. So I think JSN will suffer a little bit because of just how magical everything went with

Clint Kubiak last year. So I get it. I think if you want to go with Jonathan Taylor or Christian McCaffrey, you know, a couple picks lower, you might like your team a little bit more. And with the way running back is going, I'm going to like attacking the running back there in like the 105 range more than like forcing the what I think is probably my third ranked wide receiver. So I get it. I love, love, love, love JSA. I don't think I'll be completely without him. But right now it's kind of a difficult click with sort of the lack of clarity with Kubiak. And shout out to the chat.

I get it. JSN is still a wide receiver one overall candidate for 2026. But when you're taking him there, it just feels like the complete upside outcome. It's not as high for me as like what a peak Jemar Chase season could look like. And you're also seeing JASN where people are reaching for him at like the 103 right now because of the lack of clarity between the top guys. For me, I'm going to go with a wide receiver a little bit lower. And it feels weird sort of fading CD Lamb. I had sort of a not a negative CD Lamb take, but a CD Lamb pivot take.

Yesterday, I did my top five pivots, really four of them you can pay attention to now after the Josh Jacobs dated information. But I sort of said that CD Lamb, when you're having to take them in the first round, it feels like a thread the needle type outcome. If I'm drafting a wide receiver in round one, I want wide receiver one overall in the range of of outcomes. And I just don't see it this year with C.D. Lamb in an offense that also has George Pickens. And Pickens last year had 18 plus points per game. CD Lamb was banged up in the middle of the year, but he was still hovering around that 15 point per game mark. Even if Lamb flips the script, you've got a wide receiver two that is going to be highly targeted. Even though DAC, I really like, I know you're a big fan of DAC at ADP cost right now, Dave. Jake Ferguson is still involved. You've got

Javante Williams inside a round two, or excuse me, in year two in this offense. So I feel like this Dallas offense could be a little more balanced. I don't think I'm getting a huge edge by using my first round pick on CD Lamb, a guy who I think will probably be somewhere in the wide receiver five through 13 range when it's all said and done, as opposed to a guy who's up there challenging Jemar Chase and Pukkah. There's a wide receiver I like inside a round two that I think could outscore CDLAM as well. Yeah, I'm with you. And like the upside is there.

We saw this guy give you an overall wide receiver one season just a couple of years ago, but things have changed a lot. Also last year we saw that the Dallas defense just put the offense in these situations where they were forced to throw the ball a lot. They made some serious investments in the defense this year. So I don't think that they're magically going to flip from the worst defense in the league to one of the best. But even if they just move up to like a league average defense based on what they did this off season, that can really change the projections for the offense as a whole.

Yeah, apparently I'm being known as a CD-Lam hater in the streets. I still have bags and bags and bags of CD-Lam on my dynasty rosters. Love CD-Lam. But again, from the pitch to the stands to communities around the world, the beautiful game is coming to our beautiful country, uniting fans around a shared passion.

Details at JD.power.com. Don't hate the player, hate the ADP. Talk about your favorite pick to make inside a round two right now, Dave. Dude, I love round two picks. this year. There are a lot of players that I just flat out like better in round two than I do in round one. Like if I could trade back out of round one for extra round two picks, I'd be doing it. So this was a really tough one, but I settled on Chase Brown. This guy has just been unbelievable over the last couple of years, and he made it unscathed through the draft, through free agency.

They didn't add anybody. All they did was bring back an old Samajai P. Ryan, we saw this guy giving us almost 20 points per game with Joe Burrow last year. He catches, scores touchdowns, breaks tackles, breakaway runs, he does everything we want to see from a fantasy perspective. Off the charts, athleticism has improved his abilities as a past catcher as well. I think that there was some fear in early drafts when he was falling late into round two early into round three that they might add a Jeremiah Love or something like that in the draft, but it didn't happen. I think that Chase Brown should be getting drafted at the end of round one,

but the fact that he's just sitting there in the middle of round two, such an easy click. And then the guy you're going to talk about, I think is another great value. You've also got Brock Bowers in round two. do. Like, I just don't think you can go wrong with these round two picks. There's just so much upside sitting inside this round this year. Yeah, question from the chat. Daily Sports wants to know are you into Chase Brown or Omari and Hampton if they're head to head in your OTC? You know, I have flipped these guys back and forth a handful of times. I do prefer Chase Brown, though. And right now, he's going one spot behind Hampton in draft. So that would be my preference.

But, man, it's really tough between those two. Yeah, I'm with you. I think it's a slight. edge to Chase Brown for me. I do think if you go with the upside outcome, there's a chance that Omari and Hampton goes like peak Rahim Mostert, where ends up scoring a ton of touchdowns in this Chargers backfield and ends up having this like unbelievable year that's sort of buoyed by the touchdown equity. But with Chase Brown, we've seen him take such a step forward the last two years as a receiver. And the receiving number totals were actually higher in 2025 than they were in 24. I think Cincinnati off like a lot of with Los Angeles, we're all betting on Los Angeles to take this like meteorock jump this year with McDaniel. I know I'm on that. Ryan He's on that. I'm sure you're on that one too, Dave. But a lot of it's a theoretical with Cincinnati. We've seen it for two years now. Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, Chase Brown, T. Higgins. It's so consolidated. We know they're going to score a ton of points. And Chase Brown, I'm getting the receiving upside. So I think it's a slight lean to Chase Brown. Had another commenter in the Matt Pro Wrestling, saying the best pick for me in round two has to be A-chan when he gets there.

I absolutely love A-chan. Anytime A-chan's sitting there at like the 204-205, such an easy click for me. I took them at the 201 in a 350 F-FPC this week as well. I'm in on Devon A-chan over both of those guys right now. Where are you out on that head-to-head decision, Dave? You know, I prefer Brown-Anhampton to A-chan. I just have a little bit of fears about the lack of weapons there. I mean, A. Chan is an undeniably great player, but I can't help but feel like having Tyrie Kill and Jalen Waddle out there was threatening defenses vertically.

And I worry that without a true downfield receiver, with some questionable quarterback play potentially from Malik Willis, the teams are going to be able to load the box and play down near the line of scrimmage a little bit. So that scares me a little bit. I still like A. Chan, but I do find myself passing over him for Drake London, Brock Bowers, O'Marion Hampton, Chase Brown. and on the rare occasion that he falls past those guys, I'll pick him up, but don't have a lot of Achan, and that's kind of a scary situation to be at this year. We should just do it a whole show on round two, Dave, because round two, I want to talk about everybody. We have people drawn out love for Brock Bowers in the chat. Your A. Chan fears are like well thought out.

For me, it's when you look at like a very simplistic, what running backs in the NFL are going to lead, if we had to bet on a running back to lead their team in catches and targets, I'm still betting on A-chan just based on the lack of target competition. I think they're going to figure things out. They just gave him the bag. And I think the efficiency for him as a runner will be strong. I know you bring up the vertical threats of like the Tyreek, Jalen Waddle being off the roster.

But the mobility of Malik Willis playing with a hyper-mobile quarterback is something we haven't seen from Devon A-chan. We've seen two seasons in his career where he just like ripped the lid off the football in terms of yards per carry. So I think I like in a poker terms, I still have a lot of outs when it comes to Devon Achan taking him inside a round two and I'll continue to do it. But if you want to take Chase Brown, you want to take O'Marion Hampton, you can make arguments for those guys, both really good. The Brock Bowers stuff in the chat, absolutely agree. Brock Bowers could be like in the JSN role in this Clint Kubiak offense. He could be JSN last year minus 20 percent and still be the tight end one overall.

For me, my favorite pick inside a round one though continues to be Drake London. London's had back-to-back seasons with over 16 points per game. Last year we saw Drake London take this big step forward, we started ripping off wide receiver one overall for the week, like three out of four weeks of the year. He was the wide receiver one overall. It felt like he was heading towards a really strong finish of the season, gets banged up.

Now he's way back in the same spot. I think this Kevin Stefansky Tommy Reese offense is a little bit underrated right now, and it's going to be very consolidated. I understand sort of the apprehension people might have with Tuatunga Bailoa and Michael Panix, but I actually think the stabilizing force will be the scheme, and I think we're going to see a ton of target volume heading to Drake London's way.

To me, he's sort of a dark horse, wide receiver one overall candidate, and he's easily the best wide receiver selection that I can make inside a round two. I think his upside outcome is similar to that, Amon Ross St. Brown, Justin Jefferson, and then I'm taking them over CD-Lam head-to-head right now for better or for worse.

Kyle Pitts and Bejohn Robinson are both going to get similar target volume to what they had last year. Bejohn's a threat to be right up there in terms of running back catches this year, if not lead the position. I think Kyle Pitts is a little bit underrated as an asset in ADP, but Drake London's main wide receiver target competition is probably third-round rookie Zachariah Branch.

London's going to get all he can handle. Oh, yeah, you don't have to sell me on Drake London. I just published my Dynasty rankings recently. I had Drake London as my wide receiver five overall and got a little bit of pushback for that. But you talk about that stretch in the middle of the season before the PCL injury. He had a six-week stretch where he was averaging 110 yards

and a touchdown per game. Like he finally flipped that switch. And we know he's a contested catch guy. That's what Michael Pennix does. So if Pennix is out there, he's going to throw up those opportunities for him. If it's two out there, then we're looking at just some surgical precision and accuracy. So I'm completely in on Drake London. I mean, I've started a lot of drafts right now where I'm reaching ahead of ADP. But these two guys that we talked about, Drake London and

Chase Brown, I'm having to take those guys at the one two turn, get myself an elite wide receiver, an elite running back, and then feel good and balance going into that three, four turn. We both came up with the worst pick inside a round two, and it feels kind of dangerous to list this player as a bad pick. But I think when you look at sort of the nature of the offense, the potential quarterback hurdles, and then touchdown regression, I think it's kind of all adding up. Why don't you make the case for Trey McBride? We were sort of in lockstep on this one. Yeah, another player that I really liked that I was in on last year, but we see this all the time,

that whoever finishes as the tight end one gets overdrafted the year after, whether it was Mark Andrews a few years back, Sam Leporta two years ago. We just see this consistent theme where variance breaks for a player in the right direction, and then everybody just drafts him in round two next year. I mean, everything went right for Tray McBride last year. So it's kind of the same argument that I have for Jackson Smith and the Jigbo where you just bake in a little bit of efficiency regression. And all of a sudden, he isn't living up to his cost,

especially with how close he's going to Brock Bowers. Brock Bowers is a chance of getting 180 plus targets this year. Trey McBride does not have that in his range of outcomes. We're also looking at the potential outfit late in the year. They could be starting Carson back to see what they have in him. I wouldn't have a lot of faith on Tray McBride if we've got a rookie quarterback, facilitating that offense. So I like the player. I'm rooting for him. I hope that he proves me wrong, but I just cannot stomach clicking Tray McBride in round two of my drafts with so much other good

talent inside that round. Yeah, I think you nailed it. And I think when it comes to best ball drafts, draft Kings, Underdog, you're going to get access to third round Tray McBride. I know I've been taking him a little bit when he falls. I know that's again, it sounds like a micro tier, but I'd be more comfortable taking them inside of round three structurally. If I'm swinging for the fences, I am going for Brock Bowers inside of round two, who's my tight end one right now. Trey McBride in tight end premium formats, it's a different argument. He's still really, really insulated. But in terms of raw PPR, I'm looking to swing for the fences at running back or wide receiver in this round.

Let's pivot over to round three. Who's the player that you love drafting right now? Devante Smith right now is just set up for a career year. We've seen him in the shadow of A.J. Brown for the last few seasons. It's not officially done yet, but we assume that on Monday, probably, June 1st, we're probably going to see an A.J. Brown trade materialized, whether that's to the Patriots or the Chiefs. So, you know, we'll see. But it sounds like A.J. Brown is out of Philadelphia. So they brought in Mackay Lemon, who I think is a good secondary weapon.

They can take some of the pressure off Devante Smith. But we're talking about a Heisman winner, a first round pick, just an absolute stud wide receiver. Now the clear top dog inside this offense, I know that it's not going to be a high volume passing attack, but we've seen Devonte Smith when he's played without A.J. Brown step up and be a bona fide wide receiver one. Now we get to see that over a full 17 game season. I do wonder if he's going to creep up a little bit after the trade is officially announced, but if he can stay here at the middle to end of round three, a very, very easy player to click. Yeah, the splits for him without A.J. Brown have been promising. A lot of

the beat reporter speak, which I think some of it's leaked from the team. Last year during the JSN Ascension, there were Philadelphia Eagles front office people saying that like we could use Devontas Smith in the similar light. And if you look at AJ Brown over on Fantasy Points Data Suite, just how good he was in terms of target share, air yard share. If those numbers tick over to Devontas Smith, he could end up having a really strong career season. And And we've seen it from Devonta Smith where he's twice averaged north of 15 points per game. So he has two great seasons, but he doesn't have the one season that everybody gravitates towards as like look at what his fantasy ceiling was this particular year. It could be 2026.

So I'm with you. I took Devontas Smith this week at like the three, four turn in an FFC league. That felt like the correct pick and a pick that has a ton of edge. I think in this sort of format, anywhere in the third round is fine. For me, my favorite pick inside a round three, though, when we look at like the impact of what's going on with the running back position, we keep getting some knocks. We get the bad injury news on Bucky Irving, which sort of damages the round four, round five running back options. It takes a running back that we thought maybe had a little bit of an upside case in that range and sort of takes them out of contention. then with the Josh Jacobs off the field stuff, right now we lose a third round running back option that had a ton of volume to his name.

So for me, Brice Hall becomes a way more important pick in this range where structurally I'm getting a high upside running back. And if we get back to New York utilizing Brice Hall like the receiving threat that we saw from him in his second year in the league, his first year in the league, third year in the league, post it like last year where the receiving numbers trended downwards. I think Bruce Hall could end up being sort of a post-hyped sleeper this year, Dave, where you get him in this affordable round three area and he ends up smashing his ADP. And people might have some apprehension about the Jets offense. But if we look at what the Jets have done, they use two first round picks on skill position players with Yack ability in Kenyon, Sadiq and Omar Cooper. Stylistically, those two players are going to help the offense. You look at how Adonai Mitchell finished the season, another player who was

round two draft capital. Then you get a healthy Garrett Wilson back. You get the stability of Gino Smith where Gino's not perfect, but Gino is going to provide some stability at the quarterback position and be a huge improvement for what we saw. I think Brees Hall is stepping into an offensive environment that can support him at cost in round three. So I love taking Brees Hall in this range. I think he's going to have a very strong. year. This to me feels very reminiscent of Jonathan Taylor last season where the team goes out. They draft a tight end early in round one. They bring in a bridge quarterback. And all of this motion and movement kind of causes some uncertainty. But I think lost in all of that is the fact

that Breeze Hall is easily set up for a career year here. So I'm with you. Absolutely love the value you're getting on Hall this season. Yeah. And appreciate all the live viewers right now.

I'm not going to always have guests as good as Dave Klugey, but we're going to try to get to Dave Kluge-esque and Dave Kluge inspired guests. Why don't you talk to us about the clicks that you don't like making inside a round three or your worst click right now?

You know, I've got to be honest, I hate this because I like Travis E.TN, the player. And like all of these fades in the early rounds feel kind of wrong. But when I just look at the Saints offense right now, Alvin Camara is still there. And I think that we're drafting him as if Travis E.T.N is just going to be the clear workforce. Now, he could retire, he could get traded. He could get released. There's a lot that could change here. But I am of the belief that this is going to be more of a split backfield than we imagine.

Kennery Miller coming back from the ACLTA, probably not much of a factor. but we saw Devin Neal look great when he was out there last year. And I think long term, Travis E.TN, or I'm sorry, A. Chan could run away with this backfield and be that guy. They gave him a four-year contract and they expect that. But for 2026 specifically, I think that we're going to see it an annoying dose of Alvin Camara, Devin Neal, and maybe even some late season Kendrae Miller. They've also added some really good pass catchers into this offense as well. So I think that we're going to be looking at a higher pass rate over expectation.

We're going to be looking at a frustrating committee here. I like ETN's a long-term outlook, but I just can't draft him in round three this year. Yeah, shout out to Sam Robinson, just subscribed to the channel. Shout out to Nate Fly High. Apparently I'm a Ladd-McConkie hater. I took Ladd-McConkie, end of the fourth round, guys. I'm just not feeling the this year as Jackson Smith and Jigba callouts. Shout out Ryan Heath on that one.

Travis E.N.'s a weird one because Travis E.T.N. last year was one of the best picks we could have made, but we were making him in that it was like the Bachel Tutin versus Travis ETN summer where you had both both players had similar camps where there were some people betting on the upside some people betting on the discounted veteran the discounted veteran turned out to be easily one of the best picks you could have made but now you're paying this elevated price tag it's sort of like if you go with like a stock market it's like did I love this one stock at $50 but now it's $100 a share maybe I need to chill out a little bit and not keep adding to it. ETN I saw him go at the two

12 the other day in an FFPC league to a really sharp manager. And I just can't get there. I think with E.TN, I agree that the volume should be there. The Saints offense is going to be much, much better. But I feel like we're drafting Travis ETIN maybe at his peak outcome. He's not a guy that I think is going to challenge for a top five RB type season. And when I'm drafting a running back here, I want to swing for the fences like I am with Brees Hall.

So I get it structurally. And then my worst pick, it's got to be Josh Jacobs because Josh Jacobs didn't, there's no price correction yet over on draft Kings. I don't know if that's a cop out here. But Josh Jacobs with all the off the field stuff, it doesn't even need explanation. You can't click on him in this range, but he's still going to go with some people kind of fading the news. I think that the commission. He's still in 309 last night in the draft that I was in. I did a football guy's OC draft on NFFC and the drafter still took him at 309.

So I was expecting to see him like maybe there with my fourth round pick and he didn't even make it to round four. people are news averse and they think that they're the sharp ones where you take like the guy at a little bit of a discount because the NFL is slow moving with like the off the field stuff but I do worry about the commissioner's exempt list where you never know when somebody might get like sort of the book thrown at them so I just look at it is Josh Jacobs at the 309 such a value that you want to sort of risk your draft with it if you feel that much conviction. go for it. But if you want to take the safer approach, I just think there's so many more options there when you get to that late third round that don't have any off the field stuff. And if we end up getting burned by this

and he ends up rising up, it's not like he was a second round pick that's suddenly available inside of round four. We did see the price correction in FFPC. Shout out the Fantasy Mojo. Darren Armani tweeted that out this morning. So maybe fifth round Josh Jacobs take some shots.

But you're talking about 309 right now for a guy with five. charges and was in jail last night. So we're going to hear from the team today. We're going to keep covering this at fantasy points. We're not kind of try to like litigate what Josh Jacobs is being accused of. We're just talking about how we should approach it as fantasy managers and we're going to continue to do so all week long. But Jacobs there. And I guess we'll throw that second question mark. Do you have another bad pick inside a round three, Dave? I don't know. I was wondering if this was a, then we'll just double tap. We'll double

attack Josh Jacobs. Oh, no, Malik Neighbors. I must have had it in there. Oh, yeah. Then this is my fault. So I had Malik Neighbors in there. Malik Neighbors, another player where I get the allure of Malik Neighbors because Malik Neighbors is unbelievable. But I do worry about Malik Neighbors missing six games, which you get the sort of the end of season hammer corollary where you miss out on the first six, but if I draft my roster correctly, I can overcome things. But I think it's going to end up being like six games. There's the lack of clarity as to when Malik Neighbors comes back. I think right now with Malik Neighbors too, it's sort of there's a drafter that always takes him at like the 301, 302, 303 range. I'm not starting to see those Malik Neighbors 308, 309, 310 range picks. I'm just not seeing it. If he starts

going there, then maybe I can stomach it. But I do think when you draft Malik Neighbors, it means I have to draft extra wide receivers. So I'm going to have to do very well, drafting my running backs and tight ends because I'm going to have maybe one one fewer pick to work with because structurally I'm going to have to make up for the the injury lack of clarity with neighbors. So again, I love Malik neighbors. One of my favorite players in the NFL, but the vibes right now on his injury, not good. So I'm avoiding him at cost. I took Brees Hall over Malik neighbors head to head into FFPC 350s in the last two weeks. It feels really wrong. like deep in my heart passing on neighbors here for an upside drafter like myself.

But I feel like it's the right move right now, Dave. I'm very worried about this injury. Yeah, I was drafting a lot of Malik neighbors early when I was starting to do drafts in like February, March, April. And then we got that news about the second surgery. And that just completely scared me off. Now, the way that the Giants are being like very tight-lipped about his recovery has to be scared as well. So I'm with if he starts falling to like the three-four turn late in around three, then I can stomach the pick.

but he's still consistently going at that two, three turn, and I just can't get there. I love that we're both on the same player as the best pick in round four. I've talked about Zay Flowers a million times on this channel and also Fantasy Points Dynasty YouTube. You can subscribe to that for all of my dynasty content, as well as Ryan Heath, Thomas Tipple, Jacob Sanderson, and the Dynasty Points guys.

Scott Barrett's on that channel. Dave Clugie's been on Dynasty Life over on that channel too. So I look for Dave. I'm going to drag him back. Dave's a big Dynasty. guy though these days. So we're going to drag him back on that channel. I'm not going to have to really twist your arm for that one, Dave. But break down Zayflowers. What is your bull case for Zayflowers? I mean, I'm probably over my skis on Zayflowers. I took about the 306 in that

OC draft that I did last night because like I don't want to risk not getting him in round four. This is an ascending player of first round talent, 25 years old, has improved every single year he has been in the league. Quietly was six in the league in receiving yards last year. And we just didn't see the touchdown. So if this guy just had a smidge of touchdown variance breaking in his direction, he'd have been a top 10 wide receiver last year. So I think that you're just buying a good, talented player on a good offense who has gotten better every year since he's been in the league. To me, this is a guy who should be going in the middle of round three. I'm happily taking him late in round three. But even when I have those middle round three picks, I will reach for him there,

knowing that he's probably not making it back to me in round four. This is kind of my big flag plant this year, similar to last year with JSN, where it's just a player that I think is wildly undervalued right now, and I'm trying to walk out of every draft I can with him. Yeah, I'm ride or die with Zay Flowers right now. I think if Baltimore becomes just a little bit more pass-happy, if they want Lamar Jackson to run just a little bit less, if Declan Doyle wants them to be just a little bit more balanced,

then you're looking at Zay Flowers target volume going up. Zayflowers last year was like a borderline wide receiver one. With Zay Flowers, I also, people hate this one. People say, oh, Zay Flowers can't score touchdowns. I think that's crazy. Zay Flowers is nasty with the ball in his hands, makes defenders miss. Last year we started to see Zay Flowers with some of those Boston College Zay Flowers looks where he was just absurd in the open field.

Why can't Zay Flowers have a year where he goes from like a five touchdown guy to a nine touchdown guy? So I have so many outs with Zayflowers for him to return value in this range. And I think it's just people fading the Baltimore Pass. game. You've also got Mark Andrews getting older. Isaiah likely is gone. And then the wide receiver target competition for Zay Flowers, I like Elijah Surratt. I think Jacoby Lane stylistically makes sense for that offense. Rashad Bateman's still there. But none of those guys are players who are going to take targets away from a guy like Zay Flowers. So I'm all about Zay this year.

How about your worst pick inside a round four? Dave, I think you got the mute button. I certainly did. Sorry about that. Camp Scataboo is going to be my worst pick in round four. I just have some major fears about him coming back from that injury. I mean, fractured ankle, toward deltoid, dislocated open fracture. I mean, like, it was just bad. Like, this guy's foot was almost detached from his leg. And I know that he is of the belief that he's going to be back week one and ready to go. And I want that sort of attitude from Camp Scataboo because that's who he is. Like he's going to suffer a terrible injury and say it's no big deal. I'm coming right back. But I do have fears here. I think that, you know,

know, long term, in dynasty, I'm still in. Like, I'm going to buy Camp Scataboo, but I think that we could be looking at a rough start of the season here, high risk of re-injury. There's some injuries that just scare me away, and this dislocated Aeckel, we saw how much that impacted Chris Godwin last year. I have some fears about how it could impact Scadaboo this season. Yeah, I get it when it comes to Camp Scadaboo. I like drafting them in this rage. I think we're sort of budding heads on this one. And I know I'm sort of contradicting myself with avoiding injury risk, but I think the vibes with Cam Scataboo are pretty good from the Giants beat reporters down. I think that we could end up seeing the ramp up period be a little annoying.

But once Cam Scadabu gets going, you get Francis Maui Noah as this unbelievably strong run blocker that they're going to play at guard. You also, I think we're going to have Malachi Fields on the field a ton this year as like a huge slot. Malachi Fields is a mauler when it comes to being a blocker at the wide receiver position. So I don't know if Kim Skadaboo can give us 17 games, but I think he can do what he did last year on a points per game basis. And if I'm getting like a 16 point per game score at the running back position,

I think it's worth the risk a little bit. So Dave, let me ask you, if you're fading Scataboo, you must be drafting the hell out of Tyrone Tracy. Is it like a correlated fade versus a correlated bet? Because I think if you're off Scataboo, you have to be on Tracy. 100%. And I took Tracy in round 10 last night of that OC draft. He's a guy that I've been walking out of almost every single draft with.

One, I'm doing a lot of Hero and Zero RB builds this year because of the way that running backs are getting pushed up early in drafts. So I feel like Tracy is one of those perfect guys that you can get in the double-digit rounds. And if you have to set a lineup, you can use them as a week one starter because I expect that opportunity to be there early. Everything you said about the Giants offseason, you know, bringing in Harbaugh, drafting Maugawa, bringing in Malachi Fields. Like, I am excited for the run game here.

I think also like bringing in Pat Ricard, bringing in Isaiah likely. They're going to be that same RPO heavy, lots of design rushes for the quarterbacks, a lot of eye formation jumbo sets. Those things get me excited about the running backs here. This fear is entirely because of the injury that he sustained. And I think

that we're going to see Tyrone Tracy a little bit more involved early in the season than Scataboo. So a lot of times I'll talk about the value in acquiring traded wide receivers. Wide receivers who are traded in the offseason, not in the season, but in the off season, we've had a huge hit rate with their number

are these guys hitting in a major way. We talked about Pickens last year, Jerry Judy the year before, DJ Moore the year before that, and then a million of the AJ Brown, Stefan Diggs, Tyree Kill, you name it. These guys have had a nice track record and a nice hit rate. But when it comes to DJ Moore, I feel like the cost is a little too much. And I get the vibes are good coming out of Buffalo. The beat reporters are in on this one. You get the connection to Joe Brady, where Joe Brady was with DJ Moore early on his

career in Carolina. I think this was Joe Brady influenced. But when I look at DJ Moore, I just can't get with drafting him at 43rd overall in this contest. When I've got guys behind him like Terry McLaurin, like Jalen Waddle, Jameson Williams, and when I'm chasing an upside outcome, Luther Burden, if I'm swinging for the fences, I think is really fun too in this range. So I get the appeal of the wide receiver one with Josh Allen. This could make. me look foolish, but when I look at sort of what DJ Moore did last year, I don't think he turns it around and has like a pickens type season. And that's what I'm paying. I'm paying a 2025 pickens type price tag for DJ Moore in this range. And this is one that I'll disagree with you on. I mean,

like I get what you're saying. Like DJ Moore has trended down for three straight seasons. And I know that that is like a bad bet to make. He's betting on a 29 year old who's been trending down. But I just recently wrote an article for our magazine that's going to be coming out here at football guys. And I kind of opened up saying that, like, you know, this is something that, like, all of the numbers say to avoid DJ Moore. But I'm just going to ignore the numbers and bet on the narrative here and the scheme fit. I think that DJ Moore was just a very bad fit for a Ben Johnson offense. He does a lot of off-script stuff. We saw that in week one, right, like where he kind of flattened his route a little bit.

And Caleb Williams missed him on a touchdown. We saw the season end like that in the playoffs where DJ Moore didn't run the right route and ends up throwing an interception to Cam Curl. So I think that freestyle sort of playing, you know, just jazzing out on the field and getting open, that does pair much better with Josh Allen. So I think this is a good schematic fit and can help him return to form. I think that DJ Moore was really just a victim of a poor scheme fit in this Ben Johnson offense were just a few years ago when he was playing with the quarterback who uses his legs to extend plays and does a lot of off-script stuff. We saw a 1,400-yard season with Justin Fields. I think that is more of the type of quarterback Josh Allen is, and I think this is good for him and the bill. Yeah, Dave Kluge and Little Wayne both yelling, go DJ. That's my DJ inside of round four. Who's right? Dave or I. Cam Scataboo is a fade for Dave. I'm kind of in on Cam Scataboo. I'm fading DJ more in this range. Dave is in on this one. So let us know who's right, who's wrong. Are we both wrong? Are you fading everybody? And let us know about the picks inside of rounds, a one, two, and three as well. Let's go with round five. Best pick inside of round five. We both had the same guy here. Why don't you break down?

the appeal of Jamie. We had the same guy for both here. James, we're both on Jamo. This Jamo, like, Jamo, it's like the lack of respect for Jameson Williams.

Like last year when we saw Dan Campbell take over his play caller, Jameson Williams went absolutely bonkers. And now I'm getting Jameson Williams at like the 511 in an FFPC draft this week. And people are like, oh, it's going to be, you know, Sam Leporta season now.

And let's take Amon Ra at like the 106 this year. Jameson, he's going to fade a little bit. I don't think. so. I think Jameson's here to stay, and I think we could see a James' sealing outcome type year this year. This guy was drafted 11th overall coming off of an ACL tear. Like, we know that he was just such a good prospect. Rookie season was a complete wash, gambling suspension in year two. Since then, he was the wide receiver 19 two years ago. He was the wide receiver 11 last year. Like this guy is putting it together, and now he's getting drafted as the wide receiver 22. We're drafting him below what he has done

in the last two seasons, it makes no sense to me whatsoever. 25-year-old, on a good, I mean, so many of the things that I'm saying about Jameson Williams are what I just said about Zay Flowers, but a young ascending player, a first-round talent, on a good offense, I know why he's falling because people can't stomach the inconsistency. I could not care less about consistency. Like if you're giving me 35-point weekly ceilings, that alone is enough for me to draft you. So this guy, for two straight years now, has just blown his ADP out of the water and he's going to

do it again this season. Yeah, JMO is such an easy click. And I sort of split this one. I'm going to go, I love the fifth round. Like I know we talked about the value of the second round. Like the five, six turn feels really dangerous right now in multiple formats, NFFC, FFPC, Underdog, and in draft Kings. I like the five-six turn area. I like the early fifth round. I think the fifth round feels like an edge, edge round where if I nail it, I could end up with a guy who seriously beats his ADP. And there's a few players that fall in the list. There's a couple of running backs I like, but I'm going to go wide receiver,

wide receiver. We talk about Jamison Williams. If I get the early fifth round pick, Jamo, I'm going to take them all day. And if I'm in the late fifth and I want to play catch up at wide receiver and I want another high upside player, I'm going to go Christian Watson. And I'm feeling Christian Watson this year.

I think this is Christian Watson's season. I know there's a lot of people will kind of laugh at this one. You know, you're going to get burned again, Theo. But Christian Watson, I think he's healthy. And I think he might have solved the injury bug, and I don't think that the market is banking that in.

You also look at what's going on with Josh Jacobs. I think they have to lean into Jordan Love. And even if it wasn't the Josh Jacobs off the field stuff, when you look at how Green Bay has gone out the last two years, lose to your Chicago Bears last year, Dave, in the playoffs in a close game. The year before that, they get woodshed by the Philadelphia Eagles. So for me, leaning into Jordan Love a little bit more,

trusting Jordan Love a little bit more and saying we've got to lean into our quarterback in the passing game a little bit more because that's how we've got to take this next step in the playoffs. It's there. And I think it's Christian Watson is the one you want to bet on. There's some other interesting wide receivers. I know we're going to talk Jaden Reed. I know that Matthew Golden, Tucker Kraft, those guys are good. But Christian Watson could have that big outside alpha wide receiver season that we've been waiting on from him since his rookie year. and I'm getting him at pick 59.

I'm clicking that button. Yeah, I mean, Watson and Reed, I think, are two of the most underpriced players right now, and we'll talk about Jaden Reed a little bit later. But I don't think that people realize what the Green Bay Packers did this offseason, and we have this thought that just like burned into our brains that for the last three to four years,

there's this frustrating five receiver rotation in Green Bay and that you can't really bank on any of these guys. They traded Don Tavian Wicks away. They let Romeo Dubs walk in free agency, and I think they did that because they got questions answered about these receivers. Christian Watson for the first couple years of his career wasn't doing anything except running vertical routes outside. Last year we saw him start running crossers, played across the middle of the field, creating after the catch. Jaden Reed couldn't do

anything but play outside of the slot for the first couple years of his career. Last year, we saw him playing out wide at a much higher rate. He played over a third of his snaps from a wide position in over half of his games over the second half of the season. So I think because they got those questions answered, they said, okay, Christian Watson can do more than be a downfield burner. Jaden Reed can be more than a slot receiver. That's why they let Wicks go. That's why they let Dubs go. And now we have this consolidated offense all of a sudden, but because for the last three years, we haven't had any faith in Green Bay wide receivers, they're still getting depreciated in fantasy drafts. Christian Watson, Jaden Reed are both

just smash picks at their ADP this year. And we're both on the same player as the worst pick inside of round five. Another, I'm not hating the player. I'm hating the ADP. type pick, especially when we look at where he's at in Draft Kings. Yeah, I just can't get there with Mike Evans, 33 years old, coming off of the injuries last season, that 1,000-yard streak is finally broken. I think you're out with Mike Evans is similar to Devante Adams last year. Like, you hope that he can just average a touchdown per game, but I don't see him being a target hog in this offense.

I think John Stribling is going to be involved. Ricky Pearsall, of course, is going to be there. Chris McAfree, is taking 25% of the targets. for himself. I think Mike Evans here is a bet on touchdowns, and I think that's a solid bet to make late in your fantasy drafts. That's not a bet that I want to make in round five. Yeah, I want to swing for the fences with more upside type guys in round five. I referenced Christian Watson. We talked about JMO. There's actually a few running backs inside of round five that I think are interesting. And there's actually some running backs in round six that I think could outscore him

that have more of an upside. So I'm looking to reach and gravitate towards upside in this range. I'm going to gravitate towards some of the younger guys. You call me an agist. Mike Evans could do it to, could get us if he goes full on 20, 25, DeVante Adams, and he gets like a huge touchdown total year. But I think if we're looking at it, like everybody's chasing that Devante Adams outcome. And I know there's a number of people over here at fantasy points doing so. Evans is up there in our projections.

So I'm a little bit on an island here, but that that's where I'm at. Let's talk about round six. I'll give my favorite pick in round six. My favorite pick in round six is Carnal Tate. And I think all the vibes with Carnell Tate have been fantastic. You talk about not enough talk in the community about what Brian Dable has been able to do for alpha wide receivers in their first year on offenses, where we saw it with Stefan Diggs when he gets traded from Minnesota over to Buffalo and then just goes nuts, challenges for the wide receiver one overall. You see Malik neighbors who broke Fantasy Points Data Suite with his target share, his first read rate, his air yard share, his total target total, and how many receptions he had as a rookie. Then you've got Carnell Tate. Tennessee takes him number four overall. You have Cam Ward coming out saying like Carnell Tate, we want man-to-man coverage. We're going to get the ball to Carnell Tate.

I think the team has a plan for Carnell Tate. You're going to see quickly why they took him at four overall. I think he beats his ADP easily and I'm getting them inside around six. I've also taken him here in the FFPC at that five six turn. I think he's an edge pick right now and I think the vibes with him and Jordan Tyson are really good with Jordan Tyson a little bit banged up right now. Carnel Tate completely healthy. So if you're looking for a player that I think ADP rises throughout the summer, I think it's Carnal Tate. I think by the time we get to August, he's going to be comfortably in that round five mix and right now I'm able to get them in round six. Dude, it's wild. Normally when we see a wide receiver get drafted inside the top

10, that guy's going at like the two, three turn in fantasy drafts. But there's just this idea that Tennessee sucks and Cam Ward sucks. And I get it. Like a lot of people weren't watching the Titans in December. They were out of playoff contention, but Cam Ward looked awesome down the stretch. We saw multiple touchdowns in each of his last four games last year. Like he finally flipped that switch. And now I think Brian Daibble is a perfect coach to help bring him or bring out the best in him.

So, yeah, I mean, to me, like Cardinal Tate feels like he should be going at that, I don't know, two, three, four in one of those rounds based on what we've seen in recent history. But for whatever reason, drafters just aren't putting respect on Cardinal Tate's name. Yeah, I think it's a lot of the hatred for the 2026 rookie class has carried over towards redraft. And I get it, like you want to have dynasty takes whatever. But this guy went at number four overall. Tennessee told us what they think about him. four overall is elite elite elite draft capital this is not like this is nothing to sort of like ignore Tennessee is saying that this is the next a j brown for us they haven't had a wide receiver one in

this offense since a j brown was traded to philly which is nuts so do not fade carnell tate this year who is your favorite click right now in round six Tyler warren is a tight end that I really like here and I'm kind of going like if I can get brock bowers early I'll take that kind of fade some other tight ends and then I'll get to Tyler Warren and take him and if I can't get him, then I just kind of wait until like the very end of my draft here. But Tyler Warren was awesome last year. If you look at the splits with and without Daniel Jones, I mean, he was a featured part of that offense until Daniel Jones went down. And I think that, you know, Michael Pittman being gone is kind of a weird way to get there.

But I think that's actually a huge boost for Tyler Warren because they were operating in the same areas of the field. They were both in that intermediate, middle of the field area. and they were kind of cannibalizing each other. So I think with Pittman out of the picture now, that just opens up that area of field for Warren to be the primary target there. This is a guy that we saw last year, a great connection with Daniel Jones early. I think the upside here is that he's not going to have that Brock Bowers type of ceiling,

but I think that he gives you a top three, top five floor, and you're getting him so much later than other guys that people are giving similar projections to. Yeah, and I've seen, you know, our guy, Sigman Bloom, over at football guys sort of on the fade Tyler Warren takes. And I disagree with him. I'm with you on this one. I know Scott Barrett is as well.

Tight end is really easy. Tight end like everybody wants to overcomplicate things. If we can identify tight ends who are going to finish as the number one or number two target on their offense, they're going to be fantasy relevant. And with Tyler Warren, I'd be shocked if he's not a top two target in Indianapolis. And when I look at Alec Pierce as the wide receiver one there, he's a cap target ceiling wide receiver one. Josh Downs, if you want to bet on Josh Downs, I don't think Josh Downs is a player that's capable of like completely keeping Tyler Warren at bay. Tyler Warren could end up with 140 targets this year, which would end up putting him in the mix for a top three season of the tight end position.

He's a really, really strong bet to make right now. And he came out of the NFL draft as like a big winner. Harold Fanon Jr. now has to deal with Casey Concepcion, has to deal with Denzel Boston, where there's high draft capital rookie wide receivers. dealing with. Tyler Warren sort of came out unscathed. You've also got with Tyler Warren the Taysom Hill stuff where we saw it at Penn State where Nick Singleton, Ketron Allen, we're in the backfield putting up huge numbers and they still let Tyler Warren get those manufactured wildcat snaps because he was such a beast. So maybe we see that just a little bit this year. Not a lot of it, but if Tyler Warren rushes for three touchdowns this year at the tight end position, that's massive

for his ceiling. I think my favorite play from Tyler Warren in college, you probably know the one I'm talking about the, where he snapped the ball and then he runs a vertical route and catches a touchdown 45 yards down field. I mean, Tyler Warren is just doing some sicko stuff out there on a field. Yeah, that USC game was unbelievable too. If you want to just look at like the old, like Tyler Warren set the Big Ten record for the most receptions as ever by a tight end, the most receiving yards ever by a tight end. And then like I had to be up there in terms of tight end rushing statistics. We're not, I'm not, I, there's probably some Big Ten tight end who ran for the ball, ran for a number of touchdown some other year.

Somebody's going to correct me in the chat. But I'll go out on a limb and say Tyler Warren, the most successful rushing tight end in Big Ten over the last 10 years. So I'm looking forward as well. For me, the click that I just can't make inside of round six. And every time, and I draft a ton of best ball. So I have exposure to this player. It just feels like a low edge type click this year.

Taking Chuba Hubbard inside of round six, I've done it when I have to recover at, running back and I need like expected touch volume for the beginning of the year, but it never feels like I'm an edge pick. It feels like I'm sort of gravitating towards structure, and I feel like it's not a plus overall type type pick to make. Chuba Hubbard's so cheap right now in Dynasty, so cheap in some redraft formats, but in this particular best ball format, I have to use sixth round draft capital on him. I think he could be potentially challenged by a healthy Jonathan Brooks this year as well. So like Chuba to me, I get it. He's had success under Dave Canales, but I'm going to

fade him in this range. I was on Mind of Manchin yesterday with our friend Matt Kelly, and we were talking about Jonathan Brooks at length. And I said, it's going to take one good practice from Jonathan Brooks for him to just shoot up fantasy rankings. And then as soon as we were done recording, we start getting tweets from every single person in the Carolina beat saying like Jonathan Brooks looks amazing at the first day of OTAs, ripping off screen passes, rip it off chunk plays, doing and all this big stuff. And then he went round nine in the NFFC draft that I did that night. So I think it's already happening.

Like Jonathan Brooks, the upside there is so high for him. And I think they drafted him in round two with the expectation that he would be their long-term RB1. They only extended Chuba Hubbard after Jonathan Brooks struggled to get on the field his rookie season. So I think now on the final year of his deal, if they can get some good looks from Jonathan Brooks, they're going to make that switch. They're going to put Jonathan Brooks in as the lead back. And that leaves Chuba Hubbard as the dead. of all dead zone running backs.

Yeah, it feels very dead zoney. I'm going to do a dead zone show coming up sometime in the next month. We're going to do a zero running back show in the next month. You want access to all of these fantasy football strategy shows. Make sure you hit that subscribe button and make sure you hit that like button if you're enjoying Dave Kluge as a guest. How could you not? But I think you're going to get a lot of people maybe downvoting the show after you drop this one

because the fantasy points community is in lockstep on. This is a fantasy points guy. This is Scott Barrett's like ride or die right now, and I think maybe an Exodia player for him, why are you fading Parker Washington in the sixth round? Chat, be nice here. Take it easy on Dave. I was hesitant to even drop this take on this show

because I know Parker Washington is like the poster child for fantasy points analysts right now. And I just get scared that he is getting drafted as high as he is. He is the first wide receiver in Jacksonville going off the board right now. And I think he's a very talented player, but I can't help but feel like what we see. saw late in the year was necessitated by all of the injuries. You know, Brian Thomas Jr. dealing with the ankle injury, Travis Hunter out for the season. They had to go out and they had to

trade for Jacobi Myers. And now all of a sudden, they have this deep wide receiver room. And like we talked about the Packers earlier where you couldn't really trust any of them, I fear that that's the way this Jacksonville wide receiver room is headed. So I know there's a lot of talk right now about Travis Hunter, just purely being a quarterback. I don't believe that. I think Travis Hunter is going to be out there getting wide receiver snaps. Brian Thomas Jr. is going to be healthy. year and he'll be a little bit more involved. Jacoby Myers does everything that Liam Cohen asks of his wide receivers,

catching balls across the middle of the field, making those tough plays after the catch. I like Parker Washington a lot, but with him going right now in round six, I mean, there's just no upside here, in my opinion. I think that we're looking at a guy who can fall way, way short of his ADP. And even if he does live up to the player that we hope he is, I just don't see a lot of juice here for him to outperform it. Yeah, so for me, I mean, Parker Washington, I think he's got the, he's got the positive coach speak. He's got the end of the season performance.

And then I'm still being able to get him in the sixth round. So I get, I get sort of the, and I've given like Scott like grief for this one. I'm like, is this a PPR scam? Is this a small sample size slot wide receiver that did really, really well? But I just think the vibes are strong with Parker Washington. and I look at the types of receivers that have had success playing with Trevor Lawrence. I look at the Evan Ingram big year. I look at the Christian Kirk year.

I sort of feel that with Parker Washington. I get it. BTJ, you can talk me into BTJ right now at cost too, but I think it's an offense we want to bet on. And I think there's a lot of lack of clarity as to which skill position player is going to be like maybe a kingmaker. We found it last year with Travis E.T.N. or do I have to say Travis A-chan now, Dave? I'm trying to see.

I think so, yeah. Yeah, I got Travis A-chan slash E-TN. Last year ended up being the big value. Then, you know, you have Jacoby Myers in the mix. You've got all these different wide receivers. So I think for me, it's take shots on this Jacksonville offense. And with Parker Washington, I've seen it. We also saw them really lean on him in the playoffs.

So let us know in the chat is, are we wrong? Is Dave wrong? Is Parker Washington a value here inside of round six? I also have a live on-air trade offer. $750 entry FFPC League. Derek, who is my league mate in that league, just offered me a straight up offer of Jacobi Myers for my Jacobi Myers for his Kenneth Gainwell.

I think I'm taking it, Derek. I think I'm taking it. I'm going to, I'll reply to the trade offer right at the end of the show. But yeah, I really appreciate the really high-level fantasy managers who draft a ton of best balls are in high-stakes drafts, have a ton of volume, redraft this year. We get a lot of these guys in the chat. We really appreciate you

supporting this channel. Make sure you subscribe to it. Make sure you hitting that like button. But yeah, shout out to Derek and everybody else. We also had, I think, was that Tyler Canable in the chat? Tyler Canable, big shout out. I think he was in the chat a little earlier, the toxic towers guys. So we'll check that one out too. Let's talk about round seven. And we'll pick up speed a little bit here. We're over an hour. Appreciate all the live views right now. I'll go with my favorite pick in round seven, and I think it's controversial, but I think I'm a Mackay Lemon guy now when it comes to redraft. And I think we talk about the Devontas Smith.

I talk about Carnal Tate. Maybe I'm a sucker for upside. But I feel like in this best ball format, I think Mackay Lemon's going to have some spike weeks this year. You talk about Devonta Smith and what the season he could have. I think that Philadelphia has told us that the offense is going to change a little bit slightly. I think there's a lot of haters out there. I don't know if it's necessarily haters or people trying to like find reasons not to draft these guys where they'll say Jalen Hertz cannot pass over the middle.

He's incapable of supporting lower A dot targets. I don't buy into that. I think that Jailen Hertz is like 26 years old could add different elements to his game. And we haven't really seen them lean on that with him. I think with Mackay Lemon, they're going to try to make him a thing. They took him 20th overall. I think that he's going to be on the field in every. every two wide receiver set.

It's going to be on the field and every three wide receiver set. And I think when I look at Mackay Lemon inside of round seven, I'm able to get him in a range where I can tolerate some like some slow buildup, but I do think I'm going to get

some spike weeks with Lemon. Every time I see somebody draft Lemon in round seven or round eight, I always say that makes the draft look a little bit better for me. It's like that upside pick in this range. And I think there's not enough fantasy managers looking like

what a ceiling outcome could look like for Mackay Lemon if Philadelphia fast tracks him. So I think I'm officially on Mackay Lemon in Draft Kings right now in the seventh round. Yeah, I like Lemon a lot. He can do a lot of the things that AJ Brown can. Obviously a little bit different of a build. You know, he's not quite as like big in physical, but still just an absolute dog after the catch.

He's going to be running those crossing routes. He's going to be making big plays after the catch like that pick quite a bit. And again, this is another round one receiver that feels like they should be going so much higher, but because of the overarching consensus opinions on this rookie class. I feel like this is one of the first times that we actually have good value in drafting rookies, especially round one rookies in fantasy drafts. Who is your target right now in round seven?

Deck Prescott. And this is where, you know, deck Prescott just kind of is a jumping off point for me to talk about the quarterbacks as a whole this year. I feel like this is where you just get this really nice pocket of quarterbacks. So I don't find myself this year paying up for Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, any of those guys. You get to this range in round seven, or it's Dak Prescott, Trevor Lawrence, Justin Herbert. It just feels like you're getting guys here that have top three ceilings for so cheap. And I know Dak Prescott last year had a good year, but is still falling in drafts. This

guy is just four years removed from an overall QB1 finish. I talked a little bit at the top of the show about some of the defensive improvements here and how that could impact the overall projections. But if you're giving me a guy who's going to be throwing the ball a lot and throwing the ball to C.D. Lamb, George Pickens, Jake Ferguson. The ceiling case here is that he could be one of the top scoring quarterbacks in fantasy, and you don't have to pay up for him. He's fallen into this nice pocket with Justin Herbert and some other guys that I really like in these middle rounds. And then we're both on the same player that we're fading inside of round seven. And it feels a little weird after his incredible 2025 season, but sort of some of the reasons we're fading Trey McBride

in round two. We're also fading Michael Wilson. here in round seven. Exactly. Yeah. And you and I were both fading him for the same reason. I mean, you look at the splits last year. It was pretty wild. Less than 50 yards per game when Marvin Harrison,

Jr. was out there. And then over 100 yards per game without him. And that was even when Marvin Harrison Jr. came back, like, injured and limp and, like, wasn't his normal self. It still capped the upside for Michael Wilson here. So I'm just betting on regression as a whole from the Cardinals this year. I think everything ran perfect last year with the game script. Jacobi Myers being there.

And I just don't want to invest in the third pass catching option, maybe even the fourth pass catching option, if we want to count Jeremiah 11th, on what I don't expect to be a very good offense. We get to round eight, and I think this is not going to surprise anybody. I've been very enthusiastic about the L.A. Chargers' offense, and I continue to, it's not a fade Ladd-McConkie type take,

and it's not a fade O'Marion-Hampton type take for me to say that if I want to really bet on this LA Chargers offense, let me just take Justin Herbert. And I'm able to get Justin Herbert in round eight in this contest. In some leagues like the FFPC, you're able to get Justin Herbert as like your 10th round quarterback. I think Herbert could have a career season. I think that there's a really, really big, like,

there's a really big push from like Harbaugh and McDaniel to make this thing work with Justin Herbert shining. So I understand there's some guys like Mike, Clay out there who do this very well in projections game. And they are kind of pushing Justin Herbert down in the projections like QB15. I think that's wrong. I think this year is a much better chance of being like the QB5 than the QB15. And I'm able to get them around eight.

First of all, I got to say that I absolutely love Justin Herbert, one of my most drafted quarterbacks. I took Ladd-McConkie in round four last night, and it hurt me so bad when I got sniped on Herbert. but that's the game we play. But my pick is Jaden Reed. And I feel like I already talked about this one a little bit when you talked about Christian Watson as one of your favorite picks.

Just the way that this offense has been consolidated now that we're going to see Christian Watson and Jaden Reed as full-time receivers. No more Don Tavian Wicks, no more Romeo Dubs, no more five-receiver rotation. Reed is a guy that when on the field has just been a dynamic athlete. And now there's going to be no frustrating situations watching him sitting on the bench. So wheels up for Jaden Reed. I think that he is absolutely set up for the highest usage of his career. And with that,

will come the best production of his career. Yeah, and I think that this is my take on the Green Bay situation. Don't like look at which dusty running back Green Bay should trade for, there's going to be takes out there telling you it's going to be James Connor. It's going to be Alvin Kamara. It's going to be some random running back. I saw Tray Benson being listed as a potential trade candidate. For me, it's Jaden Reed could be the one to benefit.

fit the most. We go back Jaden Reed rookie season. The guy looked like Debo Samuel with the ball in his hands as a runner. Aaron Jones went down with an injury and we saw LaFleur gravitoid to her Jaden Reed. Jaden Reed, Brazil game is all I need to say. If you know, you know, Jaden Reed in Brazil with the opener, it looked like Jaden Reed was about to become Tyree Kill. He's so talented with the ball in his hands. And if they have some JAG running back, leading the backfield, if like the doom and gloom scenario shows up and like let's say Josh Jacobs misses considerable time. Could Jaden Reed be the one to really, really benefit with those manufactured touches? Debo Samuel type outcome for Jaden Reed.

It sounds crazy, but Jaden Reed at one point, Dave, we all had him as a wide receiver two in Dynasty and we all had them as an edge pick and redraft because the guy is super talented and they just gave him the bag. We're both fading the same player. Talk about the RICO Dowdell fade here in round eight. I just really worry. I think that a lot of people see Rico Dowdle, you know, the big stocky build and the dreadlocks, and they just say, oh, that's Naji Harris 2.0.

Like, he's just going to go in there and give us good production. But my fear here is that we saw last year that the coaching staff valued pass blocking over anything else with an immobile aging Aaron Rogers out there. So I kind of have this fear that I can't get out of my head that Rico Dowdell, who is not a good pass blocker, is going to struggle to get on the field because Jalen Warren is fantastic at pass blocking. That's how you earned that role last year. That's how Gennick Gainwell came on late in the year as well. So I think what we're looking at for Rico Doudal is a lot of early down work. But on obvious passing situations, they aren't going to be able to have him out there.

So if we're looking at a guy on an offense that we don't feel great about, who's only getting goal line work or early down and goal line work, the out here is touchdowns. And we know that Aaron Rogers loves to pat his stats by throwing the ball once he gets to the goal line. So I just don't see an out here for Rico Doudal to do anything more than like top 20. top 30 running back, and that's not where I want to be investing my picks in the middle rounds. So, yeah, you made a great case with Rico Dattle. I think that the one thing with Rico Dattle is the Mike McCarthy connection, but I'm fading

them here. And we, we, we, we see a tweet from Dave, live, drop in a live post on X. I'm on a fantasy point show right now talking about Parker Washington as the worst picking round six in fantasy drafts. They're never invited me back. Scott, Scott Barron is fired up. So Dave, you, you basically clap. Scott Barrett, Scott Barrett's clapping back.

I'm sure Scott's going to have some things to say about this one. Could the good strong relationship end between football guys and fantasy points? We'll have to find out of the next couple of weeks. But hasn't ended yet. But yeah, Scott and you are definitely budding heads on round six right here. For round nine, this is a this is another kind of fun round where we're talking about the best pick. You talked about Rico Dowdell and the sort of lack of PPR upside in this offense. One player, I think, is being very underrated by the community right now, and it's Michael Pittman, Jr.

Michael Pittman, I had this conversation with Scott. Last year, there was so much enthusiasm about D.K. Metcalf, you know, and not necessarily, like, in lockstep, but people were justifying, like, the elevated ADP price tag for DK in this offense, DK to the moon. Michael Pittman gets traded over to Pittsburgh this year and gets traded during the NFL draft weekend. and it's like the market is completely sort of fading it. I think he can end up being a really fun sort of PPR scam. He is my bet to lead Pittsburgh in targets, and I'm getting him at a considerable discount versus not only a D.K. Metcalf, but he's going behind the guy like Rico Doudal as well.

I think Michael Pittman could end up being sort of an offensive focal point, and I think that Aaron Rogers will end up leaning on him. He's a professional receiver who draws targets, and I think that's what we're going to see from him again. Yeah, I mean, this is just a perfect receiver for an Aaron Rogers, Mike McCarthy's type of offense, just a possession receiver that isn't afraid to get a hit going across the middle of the field, a big target for him to hit. So I love this callout.

I've been drafting a lot of Michael Pittman. Yeah, Michael Pittman, I'm on. Who are you on here inside of round nine? You had a pretty fun one here. Yeah, Kyler Murray. And I don't want to say I don't understand the fate on Kyler Murray. I get the fate on Kyler Murray. This guy has just been memed into being a joke.

You know, he's short. He plays video games, but he's still a good football player. And, like, he didn't really take that ascension when he was in Arizona. And I think that's the problem. But if you look at the per game production from 2019 through 2025, it was pretty flat. Like, he was still out here giving us good fantasy production when he was on the field, aside from the year that he came back from the ACL tear. So this guy has been fourth in rushing since coming into the league.

He's the seventh in per game scoring since coming into the league. Now you get to put him in a Kevin O'Connell offense where he's throwing the ball to Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, T.J. Hawkinson. He's got the rushing upside. I mean, we saw Kevin O'Connell turn Sam Darnold from a joke into a Super Bowl winner. Now we've got Kyler Murray, a guy with similar pedigree, the first overall pick from a few years ago. I know that there's this kind of joke about Kyler Murray. Every time I talk about him, people on YouTube are saying, like, Dave, stop. Like, Kyler Murray is done.

stop doing this, stop hyping him up. But I can't help but think that maybe Kevin O'Connell has some magic fairy dust that he could sprinkle on him. And if Kyler Murray can put it together in this offense with that rushing upside, he's given you a top five ceiling. And there's just so much upside that you're getting late in your draft. I mean, you could take Kyler Murray as your QB3 and still feel good about that. I actually have a lot of Kyler Murray three quarterback builds where Kyleor Murray's been a

player I'm really adding to the roster, getting him as a QB2, get him as a QB3. I agree with you. And we look back at all the quarterbacks that have a success in this offense. Kirk Cousins leads the NFL in touchdown passes. Josh Dobbs, hysteria, where he had like a six-week stretch where he was awesome. Nick Mullins had multiple 400-yard passing games in this offense. And then we look at last year and everybody's like, you know, last year was about as bad as it gets. Guys like Brasmer, J.J. McCarthy.

Carson Wentz off the couch. So like, I agree with you. Kyler Murray, a really, really fun click in this. range in terms of players were fading inside of round nine for me i again people are going to say i'm a hater here but george kittle george kittle i understand that you get john lynch coming out and saying kiddle's going to be there week one he's lying to our faces george kittle tours achilles in the playoffs last year i think that george kittal is going to be slow out the gate and when i look at george kittl it's like the myth of george kitts it's not i mean not a myth the guy's a legend but

George Kittle, like how he's the Terminator, he's going to come back, he's going to end up being George Kittle of old. I don't know. When you're 33 years old and you're explosive and another type injury like this hits, I just look at the tight ends before and after George Kittle. I have guys like Isaiah likely that I can take a little bit later than this. And I have guys ahead of him like Kyle Pitts that I can take where it's just I feel more comfortable drafting the younger tight end that I think actually has a higher target ceiling this year. And if you disagree with Dave and I fading Mike Evans at ADP, then Mike Evans could also cap George Kittles upside in this offense this year. So again, I don't want to draft the injured player here,

and that's where I'm at. I did take him this week with Scott Barrett. So we broke that down. You can look at the FFPC draft. Scott wants to take him at the beginning around seven. Another FFPC draft, I actually passed on him at the 7-8 turn. I got Jaden Daniels, and I went with a running back in that range. So I passed on him in that range. And usually in tight end premium, that would feel like sacrilege to pass on Kittle, but I passed on him there. So you tell the truth when you're on the clock, Dave. Yeah. And I like Kittle, especially in best ball, just because on the off chance that he returns to like 80% of who he was before the injury, this could end up being a great bet. But I hear what you're saying, 33 years old coming off the Achilles, it could end up being, you know, the end.

but I think that injury risk is baked into his cost with where he's fallen here in round nine, sometimes getting him in round 10. I'm willing to take that risk there just in case he can return to form. Yeah, and Knight 1 saying that London should be on the right side of this list is the worst pick. No way, night one. No way. I'm all in on Drake London. MT Revolt saying that Dalton Kincaid has such weak target competition.

He's with Josh Allen. I think Dalton Kincaid is a fun click right now and I'm getting him cheaper than George Kittle right now. So yeah, big shout out to the chat. The chat is extremely live. Tons of live viewers right now. One more round to go here, Dave. Round 10. I got to talk about my guy.

It's Kenneth Gainwell. Kenneth Gainwell is the best pick that I can make in this round. And we're going head to head on this one. But I look at Kenneth Gainwell. Kenneth Gainwell, 73 receptions last year. Bucky Irving banged up. The shoulder's still lingering. Last year, you had the foot problems.

You had shoulder problems. You had mental health issues. Now you sort of linger. again where Bucky Irving shoulder, and you got Todd Bulls saying he'll be ready by the end of summer or fall. Like there's a lack of clarity here. Then I look at Kenneth Gainwell having his best season as a pro, 13 plus points per game last year. And he chooses to come to Tampa Bay. I think there's an expectation that he's going to be a big part of the offense. And I love drafting him structurally inside a round 10 helps me catch up at running back. And I think this ADP price tag is going to go up with the Bucky Irving news.

Yeah, I mean, we're already seeing it yesterday. I got Bucky Irving's guy that I haven't been drafted at all this offseason, but we're seeing the dip. I got him in round six of that NFFC draft that I did last night. I mean, he is free falling right now in drafts. I get a little bit worried about Gainwell because I do feel like his role is kind of limited. We're going to see this rotation there. Like Sean Tucker isn't going away.

I think bringing him back on that tag. They like Sean Tucker. He's going to be involved. If Bucky Irving's healthy, he's going to be involved as well. I understand the upside case for Kenneth Gainwell, but I just can't really get there. I think that when you're betting it on him and you're taking him in this round, you're hoping that Bucky Irving's going to miss time or that Sean Tucker is going to get injured.

But I think that, you know, when you're betting on that contingent upside, that you're hoping that, you know, things can break in favor for a guy who's part of a three-headed committee. Those are the guys that I like taking in rounds 14, round 15, round 16. I think paying up in round 10 for that sort of outcome is just a little bit too rich for me. Yeah, and Dave, you had them as your worst pick in round 10, so we're button heads on this one. Who's your favorite pick to make inside a round 10? Josh Downs, and I already talked about Tyler Warren a little bit earlier. We already talked about Michael Pittman moving to Pittsburgh.

This really kind of similar to what I was saying about the Green Bay Packers offense, it just consolidates the offense, and we know everybody kind of has their roles now. Alec Pierce is going to be that downfield guy. His vertical threat is going to open things up underneath. We're going to see Tyler Warren working in the intermediate. routes. Josh Downs working in the short to intermediate routes. This is just a good opportunity for him. The problem with Josh Downs was very similar to the problem that we had with Jaden Reed for all these years, that he couldn't get out of the slot, that he could only play it in three wide receiver sets.

Now with Pittman out of the picture, we can see Downs out there as a full-time receiver, getting snaps on two wide receiver sets. And this guy has been on a per route run basis, just an efficiency monster. Now if we see him with a full serving of routes, We can see him really take that ascension in fantasy production. So I love Tyler Warren, love Josh Downs. And as you can imagine, I like Daniel Jones, too, with where he's going late in drafts. I just find myself very in on this Colts offense. Yeah, it's definitely an offense that I think will be consolidated.

And I talked about Daniel Jones, actually, with Garrett Price. Garrett Price of Dynasty Nerds, join me on Dynasty Life. You can check out that episode over on Fantasy Points Dynasty YouTube. But he talked about Daniel Jones as sort of a dynasty buy at the quarterback, position. I think Daniel Jones is sort of an easy click in all formats right now. It's almost like last year didn't happen where people are sort of ignoring Daniel Jones. And I'm with you. I think it could be extremely consolidated. The only player that ADP steamed way, way up for besides of course Jonathan Taylor, we don't need to talk about why Jonathan Taylor is a good pick at his range in the

draft. But the only player in Indianapolis who steamed up in a major way was Alec Pierce. You're still getting Tyler Warren in like round six in this format. I get it. I'm on Colston Loveland big time. I know David is as well, but Tyler Warren's a great value. And I think Josh Downs in round 10, like there was Josh Downs is was like Parker Washington last year in terms of like enthusiasm. And I think that in the round 10, you're going to get that PPR upside. For me in round 10, it's it's really just a, it's a player that I was on big time last year as a value, and we were getting him in like round 18, and we were like popping champagne with all the news in the offseason.

We were drafting him inside a round four, round five, and Dynasty rookie drafts. Now Jacori-Croski-Mert in round 10. I just can't get with it because I love JCP. I love what he did last year, but I look at Jacori-Crossi-Mirate, and I think Rashad White is going to get those valuable running-back targets out of this backfield.

Jaden Daniels is going to score a high number of rushing touchdowns, especially the design runs inside the red zone and around the goal line. And I look at like Ketron Allen as a threat to Jacori Kroski Merritt as well. So it's just fewer outs for JCP. Last year he was a player that was like annoying to predict in redraft and in Dynasty. I know you don't have that issue in best ball, but I think round 10 for me, I'm looking to pivot and go in different directions. Yeah, I couldn't agree more with you.

I mean, I think that they brought in a lot of competition this year. And, you know, it's not like the most star-studded group of people that they brought in. But it does tell me that they don't feel great about Jacoby Croski-Marrett shouldering the workload. They brought back Jeremy Nick Nichols. They brought in Jerome Ford. They drafted Catron Allen. Of course, Rashad White, as you mentioned. And Caitron Allen is a name to know.

I really, really like this guy. I think that he has a chance to run away with the backfield. he's going right now in like round 18 of drafts. This guy averaged over six yards per carry last year at Penn State, leaves Penn State as the all-time leading rusher, a very good running back. And a guy who plays a style of football that we know Dan Quinn likes, that very hard-nosed, you know, running through a defender's face type of player.

So I like Jacori Kroski-Marrett, but I think that he does end up getting a lot of the low-value touches in what's going to be a committee approach where you could see Rashad White getting all the targets, Ketron Allen getting all of the goal line work, and Gagori Geraski-Mirrit not doing much in between the 20s.
