My Favorite Picks In Every Round of Your Fantasy Football Draft

Intro what's going on man welcome back to the basement I'm Ron and I imagine a lot of you guys are cramming for your fantasy drafts this weekend and you don't have time to go back and watch my sleepers videos from a few weeks ago or my must draft breakout players video from last month so we're going to give it to you on a silver platter all in one video I'm going to go round by round to give you my favorite picks in each round pretty much my my guys if you just simply wanted to know who am I drafting who am I targeting in each round this season this is the video for you so as always if if you enjoy make sure down below subscribe leave a like let's [Music] go all right now in order to go round by round we are going to use consensus rankings we've been messing around with 1st Round this this offseason where we go into the ESPN default rankings which actually just got updated today the sleeper default rankings and the Yahoo default rankings I am working to get you guys a tool very soon so that you guys can see this data as well but that gives us consensus picks so this is the consensus first round 101 through 112 across pretty much the biggest Platforms in the industry and our first my guy my favorite pick in the first round is Bree hall now I will say ground rules for this video we're not going to go one single player per round it's a Max of up to three so you guys are going to get a lot of players in this video we're going to keep it a little bit brief for what's usually on this channel I'm I'm trying to keep it to like three bullet points in one graphic per players we can kind of go rapid fire through my favorite targets for this season and first up of course Bree Hall this is somebody last year who off of the ACL tear ramped up his usage and then from weeks five on was at 20 plus points per game which is pretty crazy then we also have a bunch of cool stats from Warren sharp here just outlining how talented Bree Hall is and what he's produced in spite of over his last two seasons he has had the number 30 and number 29 offensive line and run block win rate the number 31 and number 31 offensive line and injury rate in the worst Collective quarterback room in the NFL over the last two years he's torn his ACL and miniscus and rehab he had a hamstring ankle injury and yet he's gained the second most total yards last year behind only Christian mcaffrey the last two years his per game net yardage ranks number six among running backs he averaged the fourth highest rate of 15 plus yard gains and fifth highest rate of 20 plus yard gains in each game he averaged 2.75 gains of 10 or more yards third best in the NFL behind only CMC and Nick chub he is an absolute monster he's coming off an rb7 and an rb6 Point per game finish he also last year LED all running backs in PFF receiving grade targets receptions and receiving yards so we have the PPR upside you have just the natural ability of explosive plays you also have a lot of upgrades coming to this offense right where now we have Jets offensive line is in the preseason top 10 on establish the run where the offensive line is so good and it's crazy to say this about the Jets but it's so good that first round pick Olu fashanu is like the six-man of of the unit where he's going to come in if like an injury happens he can fill in at tackle right tackle left tackle they've been messing around with him at right tackle in the preseason apparently some people say you can kick in inside the guard I'm not sure I'm not an offensive line guy but that's huge that it's like Tyron Smith Morgan Moses they got Simpson from the Ravens Joe titman is this 66 Wisconsin uh second-year player who was a monster as a rookie last year so you get that you get Aaron Rodgers so we should get more touchdown opportunities more efficiency with the offensive line and if this offense can just go from bottom five to League average Bree Hall is in the mix to be the rb1 overall in fantasy football and I'm fine taking him any pick inside of the top five if you want to take him first overall I wouldn't take him first overall personally but if you have just one draft this offseason and you really want to get your guy I really don't think you can go wrong taking Bree Hall anywhere inside of the first round now moving on to the second round here we have two players we have puku nakua and Kiren Williams first up we'll talk puku 2nd Round nakua he's for me 10th ranked player I would take him inside of the first round puka AA but he seems to keep on falling because of this knee injury the knee injury seems to be just fine like it's not a big deal it was some swelling he seems to be like he's going to be good to go in week one but he keeps getting moved down for this reason but the issue is that when we talk about receivers after Garrett Wilson after AJ Brown It's puking a COA for me and buy a a lot like I have him over Marvin Harrison Jr buy a lot Devonte Adams Drake London Mike Evans all of these guys so he's in this tier ahead where I would take him in the first round because you kind kind of play the uh you know the tear game where I have Jonathan Taylor jir Gibbs Devon H and Kiren Williams all in the same tier that's four running backs versus puka who once Garett Wilson and AJ Brown are gone is in a tier of his own and we've had some nasty teams that we've been streaming every single night where I think last night we started we almost got puka to fall to us but we we've started before Jamar chased puka AA which is just absolutely insane in my eyes but the reason I like puka AA is because usually guys that look like what he looked like in his first year go on to be really good players when you compare him to Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson in terms of PFF receiving grade points per game and yards per out run as rookies he falls right in line with all of them and those guys went on to finish in the top five in points per game The Following season with Jamar Chase hitting 20 plus points per game I think that's in the upside case scenario for puka AA the Rams offense is ranked 12th in terms of Vegas projections you could have a lot more shootouts without Aaron Donald as well so I'm not as concerned about the knee anywhere in the second round pukaa is an absolute smash if he falls to you and then you have Kiren Williams who I've really come around on uh he was the only running back not named Christian mcaffrey to hit 20 plus points per game last year and that means something and he didn't just do it off of sheer volume he was an efficient back last year he was seventh in rushing yards overe expected per attempt he hit 2.9 FP per game which was a top five number that is a crazy efficiency number fpoe is just fantasy points OV expected based on your carries your red zone attempts your targets your expected points per game how much did you did you exceed that and he exceeded it by a lot he also had over 100 rushing yards in all four of his games with under 80% of the snap so even if they scale back some of the volume because of Blake corm I'm still all over Kiren Williams in this offense in this role and then there's also some untapped upside where even though he had 21 points per game last year I truly do think that there is some more meat left on the bone this is the guy who came into the NFL as a receiving back right we're talking sub1 5 lb we're talking 12.5% College Target share 89th percentile that's from player profiler you look here last year he was actually a bad receiver we're in 2023 this is a tweet from me uh 14.6 targets power run is actually decent but yards power run 64 that is terrible 38.5 PF receiving grade terrible but again he came into the NFL as a receiving back and I think that he can improve on those numbers we look at his final year at Notre Dame 18.4% targets per outr run 1.47 yards per run which is really good for a running back and then 80 plus PFF receiving grade and last year he was on Pace if he had played a full season to be the first running back since Todd Gurley to have over 50 Targets in a Shawn McVey offense so if he can improve in the receiving game like we kind of have like that that was his role that we had projected for him as a rookie right like we thought in terms of him coming into the NFL like day three guy kind of like what Bucky Irving is seen as right now is like this change of pace back but really much more of a satellite receiving back type of guy and that's just not what he was last last year but that's actually a positive that he showed us that he could be a monster between the tackles and if he adds the receiving game which is what we thought that he had coming into the league then we're talking about you know 22 23 plus points per game which is what we're shooting for in these early rounds now in the third round these are pretty much the two guys that we 3rd Round planted our flag on this off season and first up you have Nico Collins he's going at the 302 by consensus uh 31st over on sleeper pretty much third round across the board and anywhere in the third round I'm absolutely smashing Nico Collins he joins this Elite list according to Jacob Gibbs of wide receivers to run over 300 routes so it's not a small sample trap and have a three plus yards per out run which is really really difficult it is him auk Julio Jones Cooper cup Tyreek Hill Nico Collins is the youngest wide receiver on this this list he is a legit topend Talent at receiver he is 25 years old I am betting on him as a talent in a really good offense he had 17.4 points per game last year and if he just hit that as a third round pick he pays off but I think that there is some unmatched upside where he actually had more points per game in the games with tenell he's the established X receiver where Diggs and Dell are more of your slot flankers they're going to be fighting for their routes and you have an offense here that yes is getting more crowded but the overall piie should expand in terms of the passing volume where last year they were 12th in pass attempts 13th in completion uh seventh in yards and 14th in passing touchdowns and that was with a rookie quarterback in CJ St and not to mention a rookie quarterback in CJ strad had niic Collins finish as a top 12 point per game receiver and tank Dell finishes a top 24 Point per game wide receiver and again that's what they rookie CJ strad this year they should go from 12th in attempts you know 13th in completions 14th in passing touchdowns all of those should now be top five numbers with CJ strad improving and this offense giving him more of The reigns to pass the ball more so I'm all over niiko Collins I think that he is just a high-end talent in a really good offense attached to CJ Stout and it's just that simple I'm not going to get caught up over Target competition or depth charts I just want good wide receivers attached to good quarterbacks and good offenses it's simply that simple um then our next player here is Devon Anan and this is the closest running back that we've gotten to Alvin Kamar and these efficiency monsters like Kamar like Jamal Charles like Chris Johnson and this is a stat that I pulled from the road of his database he is one of seven rookie running back since 2009 to hit three plus fantasy points ere expected per game again that's just your points per game over your expected volume the six running backs before him went on to hit 20 plus points per game in their second year in the NFL hn has the highest Fe per game season for a rookie running back ever and is going into a second season plan accordingly so these are the only rookie running backs on this list ever hit a three plus FP per game it is Jonathan Taylor David Johnson Kareem hunt Arian Foster Zeke Elliott Kamar and Devon Anan all of them went into their second season and hit 20 plus points per game so you can say whatever you want about Devon hen and him potentially being injury-prone him potentially being in a backfield split I just think that you're missing the forest for the trees when you zoom in on that kind of stuff when we have a player this talented this explosive this efficient he's in a Mike McDaniel offense they're going to score points he does not need 25 touches to win he really just needs like 16 17 touches per game and he will absolutely crush and I do think that he can get there last year we we even saw him hit 20 plus PPR points twice with just like under 12 touches he is a crazy crazy player and we have the data where people keep on saying well he's not going to get the volume he's not going to get the volume well we don't know that right he's going to his second year this is the worst time in a running back's career to want to fade a running back generally speaking this is from a Ryan Heath article on age curves generally speaking Arby's take a big step forward from year 1 to year two with Peak production maintained from years 2 to six we'll get to when and how RB's decline on a bit but we'll focus on the Breakout years for now and then he goes down on the bottom on average the League's best running backs experienced a 42% increase in production from year one to year two over the past decade nine of the top 10 biggest year-to-year workload increases which resulted in at least 15 points fantasy points per game over at least eight games played occurred in year two of the running back's career so if he's going to get a big bump in volume it's going to happen this season if he's going to get a big bump in production it's going to happen this season and that's why I have to bet on Devon h again the efficiency heading into year 2 it's just too good of a profile to to pass up on and if you don't think the carries are there I would urge you to be open to the receiving upside he had just 27 catches last year this is somebody that been lining up at receiver in the pre-season Odo Beckham just got hurt he could be running more slots slot snaps he could be running more stuff uh in two running back formations and then he also had a higher Target Sprout run last year at 21.5% than running backs like jir Gibbs Christian mcaffry saquon Barkley beon Robinson so the receiving upside is very much there I think he can challenge for like 60 plus catches I think he can be one of the most efficient backs in football I think he can have the Raheem moster 20 plus touchdowns and I just refuse to be out on somebody with game breaking upside in the second round it's already priced in all the concerns about the touches the injuries it's already priced in this is somebody I would be willing to take as high as like the 112 2011 if the market forced me to do so then in the fourth round we have James Cook first in a 4th Round group of a bunch of players here but James Cook is pretty simple last year we saw Joe Brady he came in after I believe that they lost to the Broncos Joe Brady comes in and jacks up the rushing jacks up James Cook's volume where he went from 11. N7 points per game to 16.7 points per game on like a 1700 yard for from scrimmage Pace they wrote him as a bcow they're going to want to run the ball again this year with Joe Brady and the you know removal of Stefan Diggs from this offense and James Cook is a verifiably good player this is somebody who has the best rushing yards overe expected over the last two years in terms of per attempt this is somebody who has the second most rushes of 10 plus yards last year he was top 10 in yards per carry and top 10 in yards per catch last year just super efficient super explosive in a good offense now maybe Josh Allen doesn't like to check the ball down a ton but James Cook is more of a receiving weapon where he actually has uh been top five the last two years in running back average depth of Target so he's not just getting your swing passes behind the line of scrimmage he's actually going downfield and running real routes so I honestly think that this 49 catch Pace here could be more something like 80 plus catches and then you're really cooking where he's almost like a cheaper version of jir Gibbs where he's not going to get you like 25 touches per game but he can be very efficient he can catch passes he can score some touchdowns in an offense that should score a ton of touchdowns even with Josh Allen and Ray Davis there so to me I would take him anywhere in the fourth round if I felt pressured to want a running back but if not I do think that Jaylen Wadd is a really good pick and I think that this is a really good point by Adam Levitan here Jaylen wad goes at the 404 uh you know 44th on ESPN I will say two with James Cook 29th on ESPN is really steep but that sleeper Rank and Yahoo rank is really you know affordable in my eyes but then we have Jaylen Wadd here who's at the 312 on sleeper 312 on Yahoo fourth round on ESPN he's a smash across the board uh I would take him as high as like the late second early third like the two three turn and people get very caught up on the idea of wide receiver ones on dep charts and I think Adam Levitan does a really good job of kind of dispelling that here where if you look at just the target share which is really all we care about for these wide receivers just how much volume are they going to get and you can see at the top end here like a guy like Jaylen Wadd had a 27% Target share when on the field with Tyreek Hill a 27% Target share is a wide receiver one level Target share even though that's not the wide receiver one within his own offense so if it's concentrated enough it's really not a big deal and I think that that's kind of the talking point with Jaylen Wadd is that this is somebody that is on an offense that projects with the fourth most points by Vegas he also was top 10 in PFF receiving grade last year first downs Prout run targets Prout run and yards Prout run he was very very good on a per route basis he just got removed from games early for like very weird uh minor injuries which before then he actually had pretty good health in the NFL if he's healthy for the entire season he is somebody that could very easily be like a low-end wide receiver one high-end wide receiver 2 in fantasy even behind Tyreek Hill just because of the offense he's in uh which then brings us to Kenneth Walker who I'm pretty much throwing out what he did last year just like with Jaylen wad he was banged up he had like five different injuries listed um if you go into his injury history from last year and now he gets a new offensive coordinator and I really just want pieces of this Ryan grub offense uh he is saying about Kenneth Walker I think he gets better every single day I think this guy's a limit for him I think he's really really talented powerful back that's a true three tool guy he's electric out of the backfield as a pass catcher and that's huge if he can be used as a pass catcher in all three phases on a modern offense that is very interesting he is really Boomer bust but I do believe that he is a good running back he leads all running backs since he was drafted and Miss tackles forced and last year he had the eighth best yards per out run which does give give us some signal that he can catch passes and I will say I'm not crazy about 411 but that's sleeper rank of like or actually 411 is probably fine but early fifth is my is my true target range for him which is where you can get him on sleeper and 5th Round Yahoo now moving on to the fifth round first up we have Trey McBride who is going at the 412 on Yahoo 46 on sleeper really really cheap price over on ESPN and to me just give me four five turn Trey McBride over two3 turn Sam leapa and Travis Kelce it's just simply where I'm at touchdowns aren't sticky year to year and outside of touchdowns in terms of Underdog tight end pick them projections McBride 79 .5 receptions is you know not that far off of leor and Kelce 800 A5 receiving yards really not all that far off it's pretty far off of Kelce but I think maybe they're even sleeping on McBride a little bit here um and if we take out touchdowns his 9.4 points per game without touchdowns is really not all that far off of Travis Kelce he's going to be in this offense with Marvin Harrison Jr of course but we just need him to be a top two Target in his passing offense I think McBride gives you that and he was also a monster last year when Once Zack Herz went down then our next player in the fifth round is tankel I know we also have niik Collins but again I just want good players and good offenses and I think tankel is also a really good player uh he was the wide receiver 18 in points per game last year and this is a really good tweet from Dynasty IM where when we look at the 10 rookie receivers to post 14 or more points per game and to post 80 plus PF receiving grade he has a company where eight of them posted a wide receiver one season seven of them have posted multiple wide receiver one Seasons six of them have posted a top five season this is a tank Del post and then if you go down below the only other receiver without a wide receiver one season Brandon auk the only other receiver without multiple wide receiver one Seasons puka AA so it's a really really prestigious list to be a part of tank Dell had a monstrous year one and again we're just betting on a good player and a good offense just 23 passing touchdowns last year for CJ strad his passing volume passing production all of that should go way up this year and that is really exciting for this entire passing offense which then brings us to T Higgins who goes at the 508 and he's very similar to Jaylen waddle where we're just sort of betting on the high-end wide receiver twos in good offenses this should be a top five offense according to Vegas you have Joe burough at quarterback and with this Jamar Chase hold out it should give tens a little bit more of an established connection with Jill burough at least early on in the season and even without that we've still seen T Higgins hit a top 12 point per game season even with Jamar Chase healthy when Jamar Chase was a rookie so he can still give you high-end wide receiver two upside he's also somebody that has a pretty similar case to be made as Devonte Smith and Jaylen Wadd and he goes one to two rounds past those guys at a huge value so T Higgins to me anywhere in the fifth round is a great pick then we have the 6th Round sixth round of your home league and the first player we're going to talk about here is Rashi rice he is to me somebody who looks a lot like rookie year Aman Ross Brown is like a low ad dot slot player but had really good efficiency had really good targets per out run slow start to their rookie season and then they fully come onto the field 18.5 points per game from weeks 12 on and then he is somebody that has slept on in The Following season because people love to say oh well Rashi rice was the only guy that they depended on in Kansas City he was just a I don't know he was just kind of a creature of his situation or whatever it was or a benefit or of his situation targets production all of that are earned in the NFL we saw last year Mike Williams goes down Keenan Allen goes down and quen Johnston still sucked Jaylen rager is a rookie with the Eagles was the only guy in that offense he still sucked at a certain point you have to be a good player and Rashi rice his usage stuck throughout the playoffs through the Super Bowl where he was still a key piece of that playoff run so I have to believe that it is going to carry over to this year really the only concern is suspension at this point which seems very unlikely and then we have Kyle pittz who is going at the 610 and I will say with Rashi rice man he is still going in the 60s on these like default ranking sites if you guys watch our high stakes drafts we do on stream he's going at like the three four turn religiously so if you can get him like the fifth round in these drafts it's an absolute steal even though his ADP is in the sixth round or his default rankings across the board is sixth round I would take him in the fifth um just to sort of get ahead of that but then we also have Kyle Pitts who if we look at catchable Target rate here over the last two years we have to literally Zoom all the way in down to the bottom here I can't even get him on the screen but we have Kyle Pitts at the bottom 72nd among 73 qualified receivers for the lowest catchable Target percentage that just outlines how bad his quarterback play has been since Matt Ryan retired Kyle Pitts I'm still betting on the talent this is somebody who is one of only two tight ends ever him and George K to have 20% Target shares through his first three season that's a stat from Dynasty IM and now he goes from the Falcons offense that had the seventh most points scored or the seventh worst Point scored last year the eighth lowest pass attempts last year to now having the 13th most points by Vegas and the 12th most pass attempts by Mike Clay and a quarterback upgrade from Desmond Ritter to Kurt Cousins Michel penck all of that should do him absolute wonders and again you can get him in the six round pick 75 on ESPN 76 on Yahoo um I'm very fine with that uh which then brings us to the seventh round of your drafts and first up at the 702 by 7th Round consensus is Naji Harris he goes to an Arthur Smith offense which people are very scared of but to be fair in terms of just scheming up good rushing offenses Arthur Smith has been good especially when he's not the head coach and he's just the OC with the Titans he had back-to-back top five offensive efficiency season which is why he got a head coach in Gig in the first place now when we look at his five years of total data four of those five years he has ranked top 10 in Rush attempts and rushing yards he gives a lot of volume to his running backs Naji Harris fits more of the profile of the running back that he likes of this like big volume Workhorse and he also is a much better in Arthur Smith's Zone concept running scheme we look at Zone versus Man Concepts in terms of rushing efficiency for Naji Harris versus Jaylen Warren Naji is much better in zone whereas Arthur Smith's Falcons ranked 31st in man concept running back run rate last year which should see a lot more of a Zone scheme and Naji Harris is also coming off of career highs and Miss tackles Force per touch yard took to contact per rush and explosive run rate this could be a match made in heaven as disgusting as it sounds with Naji Harris I think he's the perfect post type sleeper candidate after last year kind of being a pretty big bust then we have romad dun who's kind of all over the board right sleeper has him way up there I've noticed sleeper has the rookies higher because they house so many Dynasty leagues but pick 86 on ESPN is absurd 85th over on Yahoo 707 by consensus and I just want to bet on talented rookies in good offenses and this is somebody who Matt Harmon compared to Devonte Adams and then put in the same Prospect tier as Jamar Chase and Marvin Harrison Jr with an all green reception perception chart he is a very clean route Runner and when you're a very good route Runner it's not like he's raw right he's somebody that he can translate his skills to the NFL instantly and people love to say oh he's going to be jsn in the Shane Waldron's offense well jsn is a low a do slot Roman dun is not that he is a perimeter like X Type receiver that wins downfield if anybody gets shoehorned into that role it will be Keenan Allen and the whole reason that we like these rookie receivers is the idea of backloading your production last year over the final 5 to 10 weeks you had Rashi rice puka nakua Z flowers and Jaden Reed all his top 24 wide receivers I believe Roman dun can give you that down the stretch at the absolute worst pretty much it's going to be at a certain point in the year Keenan Allen will start in two wide receiver sets but this is somebody who has missed 11 games in his last two seasons is now like 32 years old and any hint of decline or him pulling a hamstring or something Roman dun could get thrusted into that wide receiver two Ro in an offense that's projected to have the 16th most points scored by Vegas so I'm very big into romad dun to me anywhere in the seventh round absolute Smash and then we have javante Williams who is going to be a very big benefactor of the Shawn Payton offense this is a stat from Sean seagull over on rotoviz in 17 years Payton has never had an offense finish outside the top five in receiving expected points to the backs so that's just targets receiving yards receiving touchdowns uh a out to the running backs all together in terms of your running back room in his it's a pretty nut stat in 17 years he has never ranked outside the top five in that stat even with Russell Wilson last year who had never had a season inside of the top 20 for receiving expected points per game to the running back position so Shawn Payton's usage of running backs even you know exceeds the Tendencies of his quarterback which is pretty crazy you bring in Bon Knicks now you might say well dvon was in this offense last year sure but he was coming off of a multi- ligament knee injury not just a clean tear like Bree Hall but he had like MCL and PCL damage which is really brutal to come back from he had under a four yards per carry he had 3.6 yards per carry last year his career average before that was 4.4 he should bounce back then you have samj pan potentially getting cut here shrinking the you know split in the back field down and dvon could be a guy who challenges for 70 plus targets and is the lead back in an offense that's going to utilize their running backs a ton then we have the eighth round tier and 8th Round first up we're going to talk about Xavier worthy who is getting pushed up on sleeper but he's still not high enough on ESPN or Yahoo he has the fastest 40 time ever for a wide receiver and I might say well so did John Ross well Xavier worthy as a freshman had 62 catches 981 yards and 12 touchdowns at Texas John Ross didn't hit over 400 receiving yards until his senior year after tearing his ACL at Washington two very different players with very different skill sets and like production profiles Xavier worthy actually has the production to go along with the crazy athleticism and we are already seeing what his role could look like in the preseason where this is a passage from Dwayne McFarland over at Fantasy Life worthy has a 25% Target share with Mahomes in two preseason games the rookie Speedster is working the opposite areas of the field from Rashi rice with a 20.8 yard ad do leading the team with a 68% yard air yard share where these 89% rout participation might be slightly inflated with Hollywood Brown out of the lineup but the rookie is making the most of his opportunities we may get a tank Delta type of rookie season out of worthy even in a crowded offense and this is a guy attached to Patrick Mahomes I'm not going to bet against the rookie upside he could be an absolute stud where he is like tank Dell and he finishes as a top 24 Point per game wide receiver over the entire year just like tank Dell did and then we have jsn who's going at the 802 he's going pick 72 over on ESPN but you can get a much cheaper over on sleeper and yahu and like we talked about with Kenneth Walker I just want pieces in this new Ryan grub offense and if we look past weird role that Shane Waldren put jsn in of this like super low adah Wale Robinson rondale Moore uh slot Gadget type of role which he never was in college and we just look at his snaps out wide um he was actually really good Jacob Gibs had a tweet here 147 nons slot routes right when he's not in that like Gadget role 2.43 yards per out run is big boy stuff like that is a really really good number on a pretty sizable sample of 144 47 non-sl slot routes I don't know why I'm struggling here but you know what I'm saying uh he made a big play in preseason I don't really care about that a ton but he did do that the other day um and I do just like the idea of a year two breakout for jsn Tyler lockett's declining and if jsn can prove that he can play outside on the perimeter and not come off the field when it's not 11 personnel then we could really be cooking with something in an offense is going to pass the ball a lot pass the ball deep um and kind of have the Jaylen McMillan role that was on Washington and jayen McMillan had a really good role he was just banged up a ton uh last year with Ryan grub this is a guy in jsn who was an elite wide receiver Prospect in a bad role last year but when we go back to Ohio State he went toe-to-toe you know yard for Yard Band for band with Chris olve and Garrett Wilson uh as a sophomore which is a pretty big feather in his cap now 9th Round moving on to the ninth round we have more rookies and rookies are just kind of mispriced across the board uh when it comes to your home League drafts and the first guy we'll talk about is Brian Thomas Jr 905 by consensus picked 96 on p Just across the board too low I have him in my rankings I think I have him like maybe 72nd 73rd in my rankings I will say if you want access to my rankings for your draft coming up like I said you might be cramming for your home League Draft I have my top 200 cheat she I bring in with me to all my home League drafts all my high stakes drafts it is my top 200 it's tiered it has my target players my voids it has all of these players that I have as targets outlined and pushed up my draft board so if you want to make sure you crush your homely draft and beat your friends make sure you check out patreon.com Ron Stewart all a link in the description and the comment section down below where you can get my set of rankings but with Brian Thomas Jr he's already out here in two wide receiver sets uh he's out here opposite of Gabe Davis he's making plays uh he's in an offense that is projected for the 15th most points by Vegas the eighth most pass attempts by Mike Clay and then he's also this big play receiver where he had 68 catches for 1177 yards last year and 17 touchdowns next to Malik Neighbors which is pretty pretty crazy and it's this perfect marriage with Trevor Lawrence where Trevor Lawrence is one the five quarterbacks last year with 70 or more passes that were 20 or more yards down field Brian Thomas was the best graded wide receiver in college on passes 20 or more yards downfield and had the second most yards in college football on such passes so he operates downfield he's kind of like a will Fuller type of guy but I think he's more he's probably will Fuller is honestly doing him dirty he like is kind of will Fuller but maybe mixed a little bit more with like Martavis Bryan or t Higgins uh and then we have John Brooks who if you can get him in the ninth round I love that uh he he's like a a a poor man's version of rookie Todd Gurley where Todd Gurley tours ACL November 15th you can see from Dave kugie here uh then he came in was enacted the first two weeks then seven touches then 21 then 30 then was a League winner then you have Edwin poris here injury analyst agreeing with him pretty much which if an injury guy is agreeing with him it's it's telling us that he's not all that concerned about post injury off efficiency then you have Dave kugie here Gurley averaged 19.9 PPR points during the fantasy playoffs in his rookie season and that's what you're hoping for he's not going to play early on he's probably going to land on the pup but by week five six seven he'll ramp up he'll get a full workload and can kind of be a discounted version of what Bree Hall was last year as a young running back coming off of a torn Achilles now after that we have Brock Bowers here who to me I mean he's going dude pick 79 on sleeper so this is really inflating he's really more of a 10th round pick and I want to say on yaku that would be an 11th round pick and for me Brock Bowers is if you miss out on lorta through George KD I think Brock Bowers price-wise is probably your next best bet uh really really I mean crazy crazy tight end Prospect I I think really if you just put his receiving numbers you know up against the the wide receiver prospects from this draft I think it goes you know of course Marv neighbors Rome and then you can make a very strong case for Bowers over any other rookie receiver in terms of just a receiving profile this is somebody as a true freshman on Georgia had 56 catches 882 yards and 13 receiving touchdowns in a wide receiver room of George Pickins ad Mitchell lad makoni and Germaine Burton just Bonker stuff and then probably like James C at running back as well and was just like the best player on an undefeated Georgia team like he is just an absolute monster and I do love the way that the Raiders have used him so far this is the first preseason game as outlined by Adam Levan here Brock Bowers played 11 snaps five of them in line three of them in the backfield two out wide one in the slot Michael Mayer got 12 snaps that'll be kind of the the downside is he's going to be splitting sometime with Michael Mayer but if they use him in creative ways and line him up at you know running back slot fullback and just kind of use him as this like Jack of all trades that's a really fun archetype that if he's just so good he could just be somebody that earns all of those snaps at different positions and even if he's splitting time with Michael Mayer he might get enough snaps elsewhere whether that's in the slot or at wide or at fullback and we don't mind fullback cuz like he can be somebody where it's like a play action and then he runs off into the flat I think that that was actually a play that they ran with him uh you know they could even give him a carry this somebody who had like a crazy rushing stat line in college so he's just super explosive he's a really really good player uh and if you can get him in like the 10th 11th round and you whiffed on tight end I think he's very much fine there then you have our 10th round 10th Round Target and that is just Caleb Williams here and Caleb Williams is in a great spot he has Shane Waldren he has arguably the best three wide receiver said in football with Roman dun DJ Moore Keenan Allen Vegas projects this team to score the 16th most points in football and this is an amazing amazing Prospect and I think the people that the people underestimate his rushing upside this is somebody who had 10 or more rushing touchdowns in each of his final two seasons he has genuine rushing upside that I think is getting really discounted where he could get like seven 8 nine 10 rushing touchdowns on top of you know like 3,500 plus passing yards you know 25 plus passing touchdowns and be a guy who is like in the past like we've seen you know RG3 we've seen Cam Newton just be this like monster rookie year quarterback and be a legit stud in terms of points per game I really do think that's in the range of outcomes for Caleb Williams you can get them pretty much for free especially on ESPN 11th Round or Later pick 132 and then we have a couple of sleepers in round 11 or or later we'll talk about Herbert first he is one of the best quarterbacks across the entire league I know social media hates Justin Herbert I know a lot of you guys in the comments are going to hate Justin Herbert he can't control his defense his defense isn't going to be all that great this year anyways they're going to have some you know shootouts especially in their division Justin Herbert is one of the best quarterbacks of his generation when it comes to win probability added on all plays he had 38 passing touchdowns as a second-year player he's never had a really good coaching staff in general he gets Jim B now people think they're going to run the ball a ton I mean maybe but you can't build an offense out of JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards you also can't keep running the ball if your defense can't keep up and their defense might not be able to keep up in a division with you know the Chiefs so if Justin Herbert has to play quarterback and be the engine of this offense which he should and to me he's one of the 10 best quarterbacks in the NFL at worst you can get him at qb6 prices and if I whiff on one of the elite quarterbacks up top I'm very much fine taking like Caleb Williams and Justin Herbert and calling that a day in my quarterback room then you also have of course Tamm Hill who is or actually I don't know Tamm Hill is the fourth guy on this list but we'll we'll bring him up anyways uh this is Scott Barrett in terms of his usage for preseason he had two snap two snaps out wide two snaps at slot receiver eight snaps at tight end nine snaps in the backfield he's basically Pat Fri Muth but he's doubling as the team's goal line back for free he's somebody where he has tight end eligibility on a lot of these sites if you whiff on you know leaport through Brock Bowers I think tesm Hill is probably your next best bet um I would draft a second tight end with tesm Hill but he is very much a like cheese like glitch in The Matrix type of tight end but if you can use him then you probably should uh then we have Jaylen Wright who to me is just on a really good offense on Miami and RI moer Devon hen both guys who have missed time with injuries before both guys sub 200 lb either of them Miss time Jaylen W will get thrusted into that role and give you like 10 plus touches per game and can potenti be very good as a a running back that is the biggest back in this backfield and also runs 43 speed uh he's also looked really good in the preseason then you have Rico da who could be the lead running back in Dallas and is going at pick 196 on ESPN which is just Bonkers um and then of course Davon Wix who I do love late uh he is somebody that is 13th in first downs per out run last year and the entire list of the top 15 is just absurd it's like Tyreek auk Jefferson Nico Wadd AJ Brown CD lamb rashy rice Keenan Allen DJ Mo like there's not a single bad receiver on the list besides maybe Davon Wix and it's not that he's bad he's just lesser known so that is going to do it for us today that was round by round my guys uh you know longer than expected but appreciate you guys watching again that was if I could just put all of my favorite players by round into one video and
