informed outspoken wild Fearless this is the fantasy football dudes podcast what is up my dudes this is Trent with the fantasy football dudes podcast happy Monday it is draft month you should have some drafts coming around maybe you had some drafts this past weekend maybe you got some drafts this weekend maybe you're just a maniac and have drafts in the middle of the week like I do my main League drafts on it drafts on a Thursday night every year that's just kind of how it works for everybody we get everybody come in live iners draft I prefer inperson drafts but to each their own I think if you can get everybody there that is the absolute best today's episode though I'm going over fantasy values and these are values not exactly late round values but they're all after round six and they go as late as to round 12 uh these are running backs wide receivers I have a tight end these are my top five favorite fantasy values and these are guys you can get you know if you want to you can these are guys you can be able to leave every single draft with if you want to reach a little bit I'm not saying you have to reach a little bit but these are guys that the ADP is just right okay and today's episode is brought to you by our friends over at sleeper sleeper is our favorite place to play Fantasy Football take your whole league over there guys they now got Dynamic payouts where you can guess the higher the lower all that fun stuff enter promo code dudes 100 they'll match up to $100 guys but but other than the DFS stuff they got there they also are the best place to play Fantasy Football you can do three-way trades great for Dynasty football they've got a chat all that good stuff sleepers the absolute best place for Fantasy Football I can't stress that enough go over there take your whole league you will not regret it I promise you that so first here on my list of fantasy values guys I've been talking about them a lot for a while I'm taking I'm pretty much taking him in every single draft I'm in but I got Rico Dole guys his ADP is 148 he's getting drafted after Ezekiel Elliot Rico Dole guys the cowboy beat reporters they love Rico do they're saying he looks explosive and this is just an offense that I want to get as many pieces from that I can uh the Cowboys averaged 27.5 points per game last season that was fourth in the NFL led the NFL in third down conversion rate at 45.5% and they led the NFL in Red Zone efficiency now I do think Zeke will be the Red Zone back I think he's get all those goal line carries but Zeke is going at his ADP is 115 Rico Do's ADP is at 148 you're getting the running back that's getting the ball within the 20s and maybe more comes out of that but beat reporters really like him they say he's explosive I think he's the back you're going to want to get over there in Dallas and you know or you can get Zeke and just pray for a touchdown run every single game I think Rico is going to have the opportunity to be a good fantasy running back in at 148 he really isn't going to hurt your team and he should be able to get that very easily right there and next on my list guys I have Nai Harris I am very high on Naji Harris I know a lot of you are probably like ew gross no not Naji Harris or oh Arthur Smith does not know what he's doing with running backs there's a lot lot of reasons to not like Naji Harris maybe you like Jaylen Warren and a lot of guys actually beat reporters think Jaylen Warren's better but do we expect Arthur Smith play the better running back does Jaylen Warren seem like the type of running back that Mike Tomlin will even play here's the deal not I think the Steelers like n Harris there's not a lot of running backs like na Harris in the NFL not built like him there's Derk Henry and there might be one other guy that has that built maybe we could say AJ Dylan has that built and AJ Dylan's not a good example that's not running backs we're looking for for fantasy football but Naji Harris is built a little bit different than your average NL running back the Pittsburgh Steelers have invested in their offensive line the last two years of the NFL draft taking offensive linemen in the first round I think they want to ground and pound they want to do some play action which feeds perfect into Naji Harris I think Warren will be involved a little bit let me give you some history here of of Arthur Smith running backs okay Arthur Smith's history with running backs Derrik Henry when he was OC in Tennessee his first he he had 1540 rushing yards 20 2020 Derrick Henry had 2027 rushing yards and here's an even crazier one for you Cordo Patterson remember his crazy fantasy run in 2001 where he was scoring all those touchdowns that was an Arthur Smith you know product of Arthur Smith Tyler aler first rookie in Falcons history to rush over 1,000 yards I know Arthur Smith dropped the ball with beon last year beon was under a thousand yards I know we were all pulling our hair out going like please give beon the ball please give beon the ball I believe Naji Harris is just going to be the guy in Pittsburgh give n he's on a contract Year we love guys on contract years you know hungry dogs run faster they say so Naji Harris is going to be the hungry dog there Mike tomman committed to running the ball using play action the Steelers like I said invest in the offensive line first two rounds and Tomlin favors 12 Personnel guys he loves per 12 Personnel not a huge thought receiver guy so when I say 12 personnel this one might make it you know not feel too great I got Pat fouth okay Pat friou 12 personnel and when you got na Harris you got Pat fouth bling for him you have Darnell Washington okay those are two tight ends that can be there to block Russell Wilson whether he's the quarterback or Justin Fields I would prefer Justin Fields be the quarterback in Pittsburgh for all the receivers involved but Russell Wilson showed a little bit you know of being able to get tight end the ball uh he he can Dink and dunk you know just run the ball with n dump it off the pat fire and before you turn this thing off be like this guy's an absolute whack job I do not want Pat Fruth his ADP is 125 guys which is really nice I know Jordan's probably listen to this pod just being like Oh my goodness Trent is all in on the Steelers offense this is absolutely terrible Arthur Smith history tight ends jonu Smith in 2020 41 receptions 448 yards doesn't sound great eight touchdown catches for jnu Smith in 2020 Kyle pittz 2021 th000 receiving yards as a rookie I know last year Kyle Pitts wasn't great but frier Fri M's ADP is so much lower than Pitts last year last year pits was ADP was between 35 and 45 you can get a tight end in Arthur Smith's offense at a much much lower ADP at 125 and I don't want to leave drafts with guys this late but if all those tight ends are taken you're like man personally my favorite late round tight end Dalton Schultz you got CJ strad I know there's a lot of weapons there in Houston but that's kind of my last guy I want to take if you can't get Dalton Schultz I think Pat fruth's a guy over there in Pittsburgh that could very easily be a top 12 tight end do you have to do a lot to be a top 12 tight end not necessarily but that's why I think he can crack that top 12 he can become a tight end one where you're like hey this wasn't all that bad and he might be a guy that's even on your waiver wire after draft so Pat fouth don't be worried to wait for don't be worried to wait for Pat fouth if you can't get Dalton Schultz at the absolute end but I really think Pat fouth can have a really good season here in Pittsburgh who's it it sounds like they aren't going to get auk you know I'm still a little early here I'm recording this Saturday night they don't get auk they got George Pickins they have Roman Wilson Pat fouth is a nice security blanket for whoever the quarterback is over there in Pittsburgh next on my I have Jaden Reed Jaden Reed I love all the wide receivers in Green Bay because I do we really know who the main guy is I don't know if we really know what I do know about Jaden Reed is though he was averaging 12 yards per catch last season it's a crowded room he had a good rookie year though and he should continue to excel in this high-powered Packers offense this could be the very last year that you can get Jaden Reed for cheap you know I still like Christian Watson a lot of people like Romeo dubs I think Jaden Reed with all the big plays he made last year I still think 0p of 70 go out there you can get Jaden Reed I Jordan love is another guy that's going just way too late in these fantasy drafts so I got Jaden Reed there ADP 70 Packers pass catcher you guys head over to YouTube at tff

League winners for Fantasy the last two years last year it was leaport and David Montgomery the year before it was Jamal Williams can Jameson Williams be the next to shine he's a guy that big play wide receiver they play all their games on Turf his first year he had an ACL injury hardly played his second year he got suspended for you know doing little DFS you know and I think we're all a little guilty of that but not not encouraging players to do DFS guys that's not what I'm saying but uh just be smart about it always of course uh but Jameson Williams he's going so so late in drafts Jared gofs got he's a kid in the candy store just throwing whoever he wants just so I love all these Lions targets all these wide receivers pass catchers Jameson Williams the Deep threat everyone's be concentrating on a monra St Brown don't forget they traded up to pick 12 to take Jameson Williams while he had a bad ACL so absolutely Jameson Williams big play guy there in Detroit for an offense that is going to be very electric has a lot of Dome games he's a track star I don't know if he's a track star he looks like he is he's very fast you know he's the he's the burner there guys he's the big play guy doesn't take a lot take Jared go stack him with Jameson Williams whatever you got to do this guy's going too late in drafts to not be grabbing him and I think he can pay off he's his ADP is 110 guys so 110 again I I don't think like these are all guys with fantasy value I think he can take and I don't think he'll be mad any of them on are on your team so again reading this whole list off guys I had Rico Dole Pat Fri moth Nai Harris Jaden Reed and Javon Williams those are my top five favorite fantasy values remember don't be rude share the dudes really helps us out if you guys like
