My Favorite Picks In Every Round of Your Fantasy Football Drafts yo what is going on everyone my name is Nick or the notorious fantasy and in today's video we're going over my favorite picks in every single round of your fantasy football drafts for the 2024 fantasy football season now caveat we're just going to be discussing rounds 1 through nine as once you get past round nine based upon aggregate ADP you start to see a bunch of kickers a bunch of defenses and I wanted to keep it to the rounds where there were mainly actual players that you would want to take and I'm not going to be sitting here getting down on my knees and talking about how you guys need to draft Justin Tucker or kyami fairb or something so before we get on into my favorite picks in every single round I would

every round of your 2024 fantasy football drafts we begin with my favorite picks in round number Round 1 (Breece Hall and Amon-Ra St. Brown) one with Bree Hall and Aman Ross St Brown Bree Hall currently coming off the board as the running back three at pick number five according to the aggregate ADP Source from ESPN sleep NFL and RT Sports that you guys can see on the screen right here so personally I do have bejon Robinson ranked as the running back to over Breeze Hall but honestly I think it is a coin flip between the two and since we have been giving the gawk gawk 9000 special to bejan Robinson a bunch recently I figured that I would share the love metaphorically to Bree Hall Bree Hall last year despite the fact that the Jets as a whole absolutely tanked after Aaron Rogers went down Breeze Hall was the back six in PPR points per game putting up huge numbers in the receiving game he was first in targets first in receptions and first in receiving yards the Achilles heel of Bree Hall ultimately was the Achilles heel of Aaron Rogers as well as the fact that the touchdowns just weren't really there for him only nine total touchdowns ranking 12th and he had fewer than a, rushing yards with 994 13th at running back though he was third in yards created first in Dominator rating and 11th in yards per touch the offensive line realistically should be better this season I don't necessarily want to sit here and pretend that oh they now magically have the best offensive line in the NFL but it should be better than the Turn Style they rolled out last season you match that with the fact that the quarterback play should be a lot better even if Aaron Rogers isn't the discount double check Champion that he used to be the back-to- back MVP if he's not even playing up to that degree if he's like 70 75% of that Bree Hall has has the upside to be the running back one as well as being the number one overall pick in fantasy football drafts come next season Aman R Brown is my other favorite pick inside of round one currently coming off the board as the wide receiver three at pick six I see in some drafts he comes off the board as the wide receiver five behind Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase Aman R Brown is the definition of consistency you hardly ever see a man R st Brown finish outside of the top 24 at the wide position on a week in week out basis the Detroit Lions should yet again be one of the best offenses in the National Football League and Aman R st Brown is the clear Alpha wide receiver in this offense there's been a lot of hype up about Jameson Williams and him getting more integrated in the offense and while that is all fine in Dandy ultimately Ahad Ross St Brown has a huge strangle hold over this offense he ranked fifth in targets last year second in receptions third in receiving yards and fifth in total touchdowns over 1,500 receiving yards and 10 total touchdowns where a majority of the Season he was playing with his oblique torn off the bone wide receiver three in PPR points per game he was seventh yards per route run 12th in true catch rate fifth in contested catch percentage in terms of the wide receivers going after cidd lamb and Tyreek Hill amand R st Brown feels like the safest of the group and he also has that wide receiver number one upside so mandra St Brown in the first round is one of my favorite picks matched with Bree Hall moving now to round number two Round 2 (Kyren Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr.) we got Kiren Williams running back of the Los Angeles Rams aggregate ADP running back seven at pick 15 now the news that Shawn McVey said that Kiron Williams was going to return the punts was news heard around the world once everyone heard that everyone went into a panic a lot of people were already scared of the idea of drafting Kiron Williams due to his injury history and they're scared of Blake Corum and now the news of the punt returns is basically the nail in the coffin for a lot of fantasy football players on drafting Kyon Williams now as the running back seven off of the board we saw this man finish as the running back two in points per game last season his biggest Crux and the biggest Crux against Kyon Williams is the fact that he did get banged up last season and he did start off the year with an injury this season but even though they drafted Blake corm and even though I think they're going to retract his touches slightly Kiron Williams still has running back one upside in my opinion he had the 13th most carries but the third most rushing yards he ranked 24th in targets 28th in receptions and 32nd in receiving yards but he ranked third in total touchdowns with 15 he played in 12 games and scored 15 fucking touchdowns he was eighth in true yards per carry 13th in yards per touch ninth in yards created and second in Dominator rating so some of you guys might be sitting here you're afraid you're petrified of Blake korm what I will tell you is that Kiren Williams in games he played fewer than 80% of the snaps with the Rams last season this is a tweet from Nick galano week four he had 25 carries for 103 yards and not one but two touchdowns and then three receptions for 24 yards week 12 16 carries for 143 yards six receptions for 61 yards and two touchdowns week 15 27 carries for 152 yards and a touchdown with five receptions for three yards and week 16 22 carries for 104 yards and one touchdown kyen Williams is going to be in an offense that I believe is heavily underrated I think that Shawn McVey is an absolute genius when it comes to the just play calling as a whole especially when it comes to the Run game while Blake corm May vulture a couple of touchdowns this season and while Blake corm will get more touches then might feel a little bit cozy for Kiren Williams ultimately the upside is too high for me to pass up on tyon Williams as the running back number seven the other guy I love in this range is Marvin Harrison Jr Maserati Marv wide receiver of the Arizona Cardinals aggregate ADP wide receiver number nine at pick 16 these guys go back to back like the cover of Lethal Weapon last year at Ohio State Marvin Harrison Jr played in 12 games putting up 117 targets for 87 receptions and 1,211 yards 18.1 yards per reception with 14 total touchdowns backto back Seasons with 1200 plus receiving yards and 14 touchdowns while they have other weapons on the team notably Trey McBride Marvin Harrison Jr is going to be the clear Undisputed number one Target in this offense from day one I get that's a little bit nerve-wracking drafting a rookie wide receiver inside the second round but we have seen rookie wide receivers absolutely dominate pink fucking handcuff style right Marvin Harrison Jr has that upside he is that great of a prospect we saw puka nakua drop his nuts into the mouth of defenses repeatedly last season I think Marvin Harrison Jr is a much better Prospect and Marvin Harrison JR could end up being the wide receiver one this season he could lead the NFL in targets as well I think the Carolina Panthers offense is going to be focused on getting the ball into the hands of Maserati Marv moving Round 3 (De'Von Achane and Josh Jacobs) to round number three here we got Devon aan as well as Josh Jacobs it's a running back round here now I get that Devon aan a lot of the times will go in the second round but aggregate ADP will tell you he goes at pick 25 as the running back number 11 now Devon aan is another player that a lot of fantasy football players are going to be scared to draft because hey if you go ahead and look over on the Dolphins depth chart the Dolphins have Devon aan as the number two back and Devon aan only was so successful ful last year because of his efficiency where he was second in true yards per carry first in yards per Touch third in Juke rate and first in Breakaway run rate so he's never going to be able to replicate that Raheem moard is still there so he's basically a complete and utter fucking waste of a pick in the third round my counter argument to that would be I'm going to hit you with a quick reversal is that he was the running back five in points per game last season getting under 10 carries per game if you think that Devon hhan is going to average less than 10 carries a game they need to send you to the Looney House okay Devon aan is going to get a bigger piece of the pie and I think he will overtake Raheem moard in terms of touches now again Raheem moard isn't going to completely disappear he is not going to vanish from the earth vanish from the Dolphins team and I do like Raheem moard at ADP but frankly Devon ahan has that scary upside weekly I'm talking about 25 30 plus fantasy points in any given game plus I believe he is going to be the clear dump off Target for Tu aanga voo and we compare him to Raheem moard again I like Raheem moard at ADP and while Raheem moart doesn't have some crazy tread on the tires because he was never really used as a Workhorse running back in the National Football League he's still old as fuck and has an insane injury history now in Miami he's been as clean as a whistle but I think there is a chance he gets hurt he's up there on the age Cliff again knock on wood we don't root for injuries and that's not the only reason why I like aan but I want to get players on great offenses I think the Miami Dolphins could be the best offense in the National Football League this season and I believe that Mike McDaniel just like Shawn McVey just like Kyle Shanahan these guys that know how to dial up the Run game the Dolphins have one of the best Run game systems despite the fact that are offensive line is absolutely soft as baby shit so Devon aan coming off the board as the running back 11 the upside is far too high too damn high for me to pass up Josh Jacobs is the other player here aggregate ADP running back 12 at pick 28 to me it is basically an insta click when I see Josh Jacobs or Devon aan inside of the third round and honestly you could debate their rankings if you wanted to rate Jacobs ahead of aan I wouldn't really debate you too much on that Jacobs had a shit year last year in Viva Las Vegas right the team was an absolute disaster they fire the head coach they get rid of Jimmy garoo but by the time this kind of all sets in motion the team starts actually looking decent where they kick the everliving shit out of the Chargers in that Prime Time game dropping a gazillion points on them Jacobs was hurt right so by the time everything starts to go right Jacobs is out for the season with a quad strain now the defenses knew that Jacobs was ingal to the Raiders offense so they were just stacking the Box all the the time first in average defenders in the Box last season I get his stats on paper weren't amazing and his stats will not make you want to draft him right 11th in carries in 13 games 24 R 24th in rushing yards 19th in targets 24th in receptions 19th receiving yards and 24th in total touchdowns but he was seventh in Dominator rating and the other running backs behind Josh Jacobs are hurt AJ Dylan Quadzilla out for the season Marshon Lloyd potentially going to miss the first couple of matchups of the season now he's not been placed on the IR so I think he'll be good by say week two or week three but that is also another boost towards Jacobs potentially starting off as a straightup Workhorse running back getting an insane amount of touches weekly then they have other running backs behind him but again no one that can even hold the Jack strap of Josh Jacobs even with a reduced amount of touches which I believe will be the case here in Green Bay he is going to be a lot more efficient with the touches and he's going to have a whole lot more Red Zone opportunities the Packers are another team that I really like this season I think the Packers could end up hoisting the Lombardi at the end of the season now I'm not going to sit here and glaze them too much but I believe heavily in Jordan love and I believe in this offense being able to put up a ton of points game in and game out and what scoring a lot of points does is it allows you to churn The Rock late in the game right once the other team is dead they got the chalk outline around them you're able to run the ball a lot and Josh Jacobs will benefit heavily from that again I don't really expect an insane workload like we saw in Las Vegas but with the injuries there it does seem like more of a possibility at least for early on in the season now we move to round number four we have some breaking news regarding a player that goes in round number four and that is going to be Brandon auk of the San Francisco 49ers Round 4 (Joe Mixon and Jaylen Waddle) now Brandon auk is currently coming off the board at pick number 37 which would be the first pick inside of the fourth round now Brandon iuk just signs this insane deal they bring out the Brinks truck to give him this contract and that's great for Brandon auk so if you can get him in the fourth round he would be one of my favorite selections because I think he's the clear number one Target on this team his efficiency stats last year will have your mouth watering but I don't really think he's going to get taken in the fourth round now since we're so close to drafts actually taking off right most of you guys are going to be drafting Friday Saturday Sunday or Monday maybe the ADP isn't able to catch up to the news maybe the ADP won't shift so heavily to where auk gets blasted all the way up until the second round so if you could get him in the fourth round he would be one of my favorite picks do I think that auk is necessarily worth the contract that he got maybe maybe not but now that he's on the San Francisco 49ers that would also bump down Deo Samuel but we talked about how I didn't like Deo Samuel a couple of videos ago in the least favorite pick in every single round video so make sure you guys check that out of course after you watch this video so round number four the main guys here are Joe Mixon and Jaylen Wadd Joe Mixon running back of the Houston Texans aggregate ADP running back 15 at pick 38 to me the reason why I like Joe Mixon is as easy as one 12 three fucking ABC shout out to the Jackson Five Joe Mixon is the clear lead back the clear Workhorse back on a Houston Texans team that had Devin single looking like fucking Prime Jamal Charles or something right he was running trains on defenses and he's not even that good now I'm not here to just dunk all over Devin single ter he might have a fine year in New York with the Giants but Joe Mixon is now in the driver's seat of an offense that we expect to explode not in a bad way though like in a fun way have a huge season and score a ton of points game in and game out despite the fact that the Bengals team last season was a roller coaster ride it was down then it goes up and it hits its apex and then Joe shyy gets hurt and it is a quick decline but despite the fact that again the team starts off with burrow hurt then burrow gets healthy they're on top of the world and then they have that that really big decline Joe Mixon was still the running back six in PPR and 11 in PPR points per game Joe Mixon is far from the old version of himself Joe mixon's a little bit older I don't think you can even compare the Joe Mixon of today to the Joe Mixon from a couple of years ago but ultimately they don't need Prime Adrien Peterson Prime Joe Mixon here for Mixon to be successful in fantasy football he's the clear lead back with Damen Pierce and cam Acres holding the Gatorade on the sideline last year he scored 12 total touchdowns sixth he was sixth in yards created 10th in Dominator rating and 14th in Ed tackles the Texans are the perfect situation to succeed for Joe Mixon and inside the fourth round I am going to be hashtag all over that assuming that he falls to you inside of the fourth round and assuming that I only have one running back up to this point because I'm not really going triple RB this season so if I already have two I'm going to go with the other guy here and that is jayen Wadd away Wadd waddle till the very next day now jayen waddle is currently dealing with a undis injury is that something that I'm panicking fully about no it's not death 5 we woo woo fucking full on panic mode but I am a little bit more worried than I was a couple of days ago ultimately I think everything will be fine and he will suit up in week number one up against the Jacksonville Jaguars at home in the 305 shout out pitball but my concern meter is at least a little bit heightened but based on what Mike McDaniel's saying I won't Panic too much wide receiver 21 off the board at pick 44 last season was a complete and utter disaster for jayen wad based upon ADP he was a huge bust right and it was very very bad it's like when you were back in high school and you got to give a presentation and for some reason your cock has reached maximum hardness and now you got to tuck that thing in the waistband and go talk about World War II or something like that so Jaylen Wadd bust last season but the prior two seasons he averaged 115 plus targets 75 plus receptions 1,000 plus receiving yards and six plus touchdowns what's more likely he puts up similar numbers of last season where he's Iced Out Of The End Zone with only four touchdowns he has less targets less receptions than we're used to and he's completely washed he's trash he's finished or that Jaylen wadle is one of the better wide receivers in the NFL one of the best wide receiver twos in the NFL if he was on another team he'd be the clear number one wide receiver so is it more likely that that guy is straight up trash he's completely washed or that Jaylen wad had won down season and he's going to ride deep into the night again and have a huge season as the wide receiver 21 you're definitely getting him at a discount and this is a guy with top five upside in any given game due to how good the Dolphins offense is and due to how fast Jaylen wdes he could take any slant directly to the fucking crib he was ninth in EPA last year 13th in in Target separation 14th in fantasy points per route and second in route win rate so the guy is able to get open very very proficiently so if he's able to get open at a top 10 rate again right if he's always open like 7-Eleven then Jaya Wadd is guaranteed to have a huge bounceback season in 2024 again I am slightly worried about the injury though but nothing to panic too much about just yet moving into round number five we got Round 5 (Malik Nabers and Aaron Jones) Malik neighbors and AA Ron Jones now Malik neighbors has some insane Aura because the New York football Giants fucking unretired the number one for Malik neighbors to become number one on the team he was number one aggregate ADP wide receiver 24 at pick 50 now the negative about Malik neighbors is Daniel Jones the positive is just about everything else the guy's fucking workout metrics are incredible 93rd 40 yard dash percentile 85th speed score 998th burst score 8 first in terms of catch radius all from player profiler he was the number six overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft 13 games played with the leak neighbors Brian Thomas Jr and jayen Daniels at LSU he had 89 receptions last season for 130 targets 1,569 yards great season and he had a 31.9% Target share in the LSU offense and scored 14 touchdowns top 10 pick amazing stats at LSU if you take Marvin Harrison JR out of the equation and you say you know what he who doesn't get drafted this year then maybe Malik neighbors is the clear number one wide receiver in this draft class the weapons around him ju Del Robinson Jaylen hayatt Darius Slayton are absolute dog water compared to Malik neighbors if you watch the preseason games while the targets might not have been the best the dude was open he was always open he runs crisp routes he's incredibly fast so while there is the downside of Daniel Jones and maybe Malik neighbors won't be as consistent as some other players once you're in round five six you know you got to start taking some risks and while he might not be the most consistent player on your roster the upside is immaculate with Malik neighbors due to his skill set and if Daniel Jones just looks like he did in 2022 uhoh then Malik Neighbors could really be a top 12 wide receiver in his rookie year Aaron Jones is the other guy here aggregate ADP running back 19 at pick 56 and it seems like everyone and their mother hates Aaron Jones Aaron Jones ended up being a bust last season based upon where you drafted him the guy was always hurt and Matt lefur does this thing which we like to call teason right he uses the just the tip technique he doesn't go balls deep once a player's hurt he kind of eases them back in and that allows fantasy players to play Aaron Jones when you really shouldn't because the reporting from LEF Flur feels a little bit suspect right they're saying he's going to play we don't know how much so you play him and then he gets a couple of touches and he basically touches your no no square by doing nothing right but then once they fully let him go right once they fully unleash Aaron Jones the guy was smacking up defenses left and right he was giv out the bukkake special so Aaron Jones went healthy last season looked great he had multiple games going through the playoffs where he had over a 100 rushing yards Aaron Jones another guy that's getting a little bit older the efficiency might not be as it used to be but he was 15th in two yards per carry 14th in yards per touch and 15th in yards created per touch and he's also a very solid pass catching running back I think with Sam darnold under Center the Vikings are going to look to run the ball a lot more than yester years where when Kirt cousins was under Center it was basically just throw the fucking ball every single play whereas with Aaron Jones because Sam darnold's the quarterback I think they're going to try to run the ball a lot more Aaron Jones again very proficient in the pass catching game so that's the running back number 19 this is a guy that has top 12 upside weekly and I wouldn't even be shocked if he finished as a top 10 running back because of how good he is and people are just discrediting him because they're discrediting the whole Vikings offense despite the fact that Kevin oconnell is another one of those genius fucking Albert Einstein young Sheldon level like play callers so I like Aaron Jones a lot more than Round 6 (Tank Dell and Rashee Rice) consensus moving to round number six we got tank Dell wide receiver of the Houston Texans aggregate 80P wide receiver 20 at pick 65 now just like Malik neighbors tank Dell has kind of the the red warning alerts around him right there is that really a quarterback worry as the quarterback over in Houston is really good but there is wor is when it comes to the other weapons around him right Nico Collins has been amazing he has this great connection with CJ Stroud so does tank Dell but they bring in Stefan Diggs so there's just a lot of question marks here like a puzzle from The Riddler so tank Dell while there are some questions about the consistency it's all about upside in this range I think that tank Dell could easily out Target Stefan Diggs and I think there's a chance that tank Dell is the number one target on this team when he was playing he was very efficient he was 21st in yards per Target 21st in yards per reception 14th yards per outr run 11th in fantasy points per route and 10th in fantasy points per Target it seems like CJ strout his quarterback really likes him every fucking interview that you see out there with CJ Stroud CJ Stroud's give it a little reach around to tank Dell we saw how good he looked last season and now we are as a fantasy football Community everyone is just discrediting him because of Stefan Diggs but what we saw to Stefan Diggs last year was him falling off the edge of the Earth through the second half of the season now I don't think that Stefan Diggs is fully washed but if tank Dell already has this baked in connection with shroud as does Nico Collins there's a chance that Diggs is the number three Target tank Dell's number two Nico Collins is number one and with that big upside weekly of the 25 30 plus Point per performances out of tank Dell I think people are a little bit silly getting too nervous to draft Dell in round six the other guy here is Rashi rice now we have been sucking upon Rashi rice for the last couple of weeks ever since it became completely evident that he was not going to get suspended for the driving issues now Rashi rice is a absolute Hammer pick inside of the sixth round inside of the fifth round and if you're feeling crazy maybe even inside of the fourth round now his ADP lies in the sixth round but I do really think that if you're playing with some sharper League mates he will go higher wide receiver 29 last year in PPR points per game as a rookie but if you look at the stats towards the end of last season everything points toward Rashi rice being the clear number one receiver on this offense Hollywood Brown already hurt Xavier Worthy is a rookie and Ri Rice appears to have that amazing connection with Patrick Mahomes and the efficiency makes you gole and agle second in Target separation third in Target separation I apologize second in Target accuracy 10th in yards per route run seventh in fanty points per route run and 16th 53% route win rate 16th at wide receiver so again while you might disagree with the courts that they should be suspending rashy rice this that and the other thing all fantasy football is about is scoring fantasy football points Rashi rice has top 12 wide receiver upside inside of the sixth round with the best quarterback in the world throwing him the ball don't overthink Rashi rice moving down to round number seven but before we actually do that I would like to give you guys a quick word for our friends our sponsor over at Underdog fantasy if

sure you guys check that out Link in the video description in round number seven we are staying with the dolphins Round 7 (Raheem Mostert and Jake Ferguson) Nick you're a dolphins fan so that's why you love the Dolphins players so much now for some people that might be something that they genuinely believe but if you listen to me talk about the Dolphins when the Dolphins were getting just destroyed weekly when I was watching football and I just felt like I wanted to cry watching the games it was that bad again I'm a 25-year-old man at this point or boy whatever the fuck you want to call me but man oh man it used to hurt pause watching those games it really did hurt me it hurt my soul watching the Dolphins just suck my whole entire life and if you guys were watching when the Dolphins were bad you would know that I would tell you to run steer steer to run clear away from the Dolphins right run at the speed of Forest Gump okay but now I'm jumping on the Dolphins bandwagon even though I've been a fan since I was a kid so I'm not really a bandwagoner I talked out moer last year I talked up achain last year you know what they were they were a one-w punch of fantasy football greatness and now Raheem moer is coming off the board in round number seven as the running back 25 at pick 74 now I get aan should be seeing more touches he should get a bigger piece of the pie we also have to understand that like I said with h mostard isn't going to fully disappear he was the running back for PPR points per game and why I highly doubt he could score 21 touchdowns again first at running back he was efficient he was 11th in true yards per carry seventh in Juke rate sixth in Breakaway run rate 10th in evated tackles and eighth in Dominator rating again while he is ancient he's an unk at this point he reached Unk status he doesn't have a lot of tread on the tires because he never really got a crazy amount of touches until he got to Miami now if aan gets hurt knock on wood we don't root freres moster is a top five top eight running back in my rankings every single week if aan is able to stay healthy for the whole season that Raheem moart is a top 24 back that has a lot of touchdown upside due to how good the Dolphins are so he's probably has a very small chance of busting unless he gets hurt and he has a huge amount of upside if something was to happen to Boer and if nothing or if something was happen to aan but if nothing happens to aan he's just a fine starter every single week that could have a 15o plus Point performance in any game so moster it's another where it's like I get that with a Chance seeing more touches that's going to put some fear into the eyes of the Raheem moer drafters and that's why he's not getting drafted a lot higher but you can very much compare the situation of David Montgomery and Raheem moard and David Montgomery goes a lot higher the second guy here inside of round seven is Jake Ferguson Fergalicious tight end of the Dallas Cowboys aggregate 880p tight end nine at pick 80 bit of trouble in Paradise in Dallas they do end up signing CD lamb but now it seems like Dak Prescott is just throwing fucking Haymakers at Jerry Jones it seems like Dak just hates Jerry Jones and I kind of get it Jerry Jones just seems like a fucking idiot but you know obviously Nick he's a millionaire and you make videos on the internet talking about fantasy football so who's really the fucking loser me I get it but I don't know man there's something up with Jerry Jones something just feels off with the guy tight end 10 in PPR points per game though the reason why I like Jake Ferguson is because outside of CD lamb who else are they going to throw the ball to they've got Tolbert who you know the exciting pre exciting training camp exciting summer those guys don't always work out they've got old man Brandon Cooks so Jake Ferguson could very well be the number two Target on this offense with big touchdown upside due to his stature sixth in Target accuracy last year 15th yards per Target 13th in yards per reception last season was his sophomore season he had a sophomore season breakout but it was really his first year actually being the guy he had 102 targets seventh he ranked ninth in receptions with 71 eighth in receiving yards with 761 and seventh in total touchdowns with five so if you could just get the total touchdown number up he's going to finish inside of the top six top five and he's coming off the board is the tight end nine so we're basically drafting him where he finished last year as the tight end 10 and there's a lot of room to grow the Dallas Cowboys are an offense that is going to be scoring a lot of points every single week regardless of what you want to say about that fat bastard Mike McCarthy regardless of what you want to say about Dak Prescott and him choking in a huge way in the playoffs all the time all that matters is the regular season in fantasy football and I get Nick your your biggest argument for Jake Ferguson was that he had a big game against the Packers in the playoffs all that argument is about is that against the Packers he had that big game you know the big games that people are waiting for out of Ferguson they say doesn't have this big game upside he's just like wrapping a condom around your team and while I think he is a nice condom wrap he also has a bunch of upside moving to round number eight here the penultimate round before we discuss round nine the reason why we don't go deeper and deeper pause is because once you get past the ninth round there starts to be a lot of defenses a lot of kickers and you're only choosing between a couple of players and it just kind of feels wrong to do that because I will start talking about a player that maybe I don't feel like is like such a great pick but because there isn't a lot of options I would have to talk about them so we cut things off at Round number nine round eight Jonathan Brooks with spelling it j Round 8 (Jonathon Brooks and Rome Odunze) o n a t h o n that alone makes me kind of nervous like that's just a weird way to spell his name but and this is a big butt shout out to we shouted out Savannah Bond last time and one of you lovely subscribers Googled Savannah Bond now if I shout out a woman and I say big butt should not Google them a lot of the time when you Google them a picture of their tatas or something will show up so don't do that don't do that especially if you're around your girlfriend don't want to get you guys in trouble running back 33 aggregate 80P pick 92 now Jonathan Brooks has been placed on the IR not going to be useful for the first four games so if you draft him you need to know that once he comes back though I believe that Jonathan Brooks will be the clear running back one in Carolina they drafted him in the second round for a reason now he did tear his ACL in November but been a long time since November and typically it's easier for these backs to come back from just the ACL tear now if he tours ACL his AC his ACL his LCL his PCL his miniscus if he tore fucking everything off the bone like a nice rib then I would be very concerned you want to know why because a lot of those times with the compacting injuries it's multiple surgeries it's harder to come back from it's why I'm fine drafting Jonathan Brooks and why I'm completely off the reservation when it comes to drafting 9-in Nicholas chub Nick chub is an amazing talent but the issue is when you have all those injuries it makes it very hard to come back from plus we all watched his leg get turned sideways whereas Jonathan Brook's injury sure it's bad he tore his ACL but it's nothing that doctors haven't seen before nothing that NFL players haven't came back from before his teammates chuba hubard mil Sanders Raheem Black Shear chuba hub's pretty solid mil Sanders looks like dog shit Raheem black Shear's okay chuba hubard will be the lead back for the first four weeks so why I'm much I'm not really handicap handicap really a handcuff guy outside of the bedroom of course but I'm not a big handcuff guy in fantasy football I don't really like drafting my own handcuff I'd rather draft someone else's handcuff you know pray on their downfall not really pray on for the injuries knock on W we don't root for injuries but you get what I mean right someone like if I don't draft Kiren I draft Blake corm if Kiren goes down I look like a genius but Jonathan Brooks is one of those guys where hey you want to guarantee some points right you're a little bit nervous uh what if Jonathan Brooks doesn't come back for the first couple of weeks which he's not going to right maybe he doesn't come back until week six which I don't think will be the casee they were considering not even putting him on the IR so I think he'll be back in week number five but you want to draft trba hubard for the first four weeks go ahead the guy stats at Texas were amazing 187 rushes for 1,139 yards 25 receptions for 286 yards and 11 total touchdowns in just 10 games the guy has all of the ability the only question mark here is the injury but in round number eight I'm willing to take the shot on the injury just because I get a is a severe injury but it's not as crazy as You' think it would be for him to come back from that the number two guy here is Roman dun we have been huge on romad dun for a while now on this channel agre ADP wide receiver 39 to pick 94 I think Keenan Allen is washed I I guess that's the wrong way to put it because I don't think Keenan Allen's necessarily washed but I think Keenan Allen he's hitting the age where it's like the age clip is the age Cliff is coming for him right they are coming for him it's like the Grim Reapers coming for you right now I understand that maybe he has a solid start to the season and frankly I think he will frankly I think he's going to come out the gate looking red hot looking real hot like Sydney Sweeney or like Megan Fox in the Transformers movie and then everyone's gonna be like ha Nick you look like a clown honk honk with a fucking red nose you bozo you bozo it's Keenan Allen season baby and then five weeks into the season Keenan Allen's holding romad dun's fucking red Gatorade and romad dun is out there in the two wide receiver sets is the risk yes but he's a first round pick highly touted Prospect out of Washington 21 years old last year 14 games played at Washington with Michael panck 87 receptions on 141 targets for 1553 yards 17.9 yards per reception and 13 receiving touchdowns I believe heavily in Caleb Williams I believe in the Chicago Bears offense as a unit and I believe that Roman dun will become the number two weapon in this offense now this could be a swing and a miss and maybe Keenan Allen fucking fends them off all season but guess what it's just in the eighth round if it ends up being a bad pick it is what it is it doesn't hurt so bad to cut a guy in the eighth round compared to like a fifth round pick or a sixth round pick right the deeper and deeper get in the draft the easier of a pill it is to swallow when you have to cut a guy Final Round Here Round 9 (Jaxon Smith-Njigba) round number nine jsn Jackson Smith njigba now I will note I really like lad makoni I also like jayen Daniels Keon Coleman but we have waxed poetically recently about all those guys so we're just going to talk about jsn who I haven't really given the proper shine to since the start of August and now we're basically at the end of August man August goes so fast wi receiv here 41 according to aggregate ADP pick 98 now jsn last year based on where you drafted him you got absolutely fisted right if you draft did jsn at ADP regardless of the platform you were on even if you got him a little bit later like around discounted you were still pissed off jsn usage was absolutely terrible Pete Carol the gum chewer did not do a great job in utilizing jsn considering where they drafted jsn he ranked sixth in Target separation and 17th in route win rate but only had 93 targets 63 receptions 628 receiving yards and four total touchdowns now we've heard that the head coaches the beat reporters the coaches overall not just the head coach have been talking him up the most recent report from head coach Mike McDonald how to farm EO said he's got this fluid explosiveness about him he could run the entire route tree incredible ways to track the ball body control explosiveness in and out of his cuts the mentality we want he has that right that was basically like Mike McDonald was just deep Thro in the guy jsn also mentioned about the Ryan grubs offense who is the new offensive coordinator of the season Hogs that it has a lot of potential for explosive plays now Tyler locket still there but I think this is the year where the Baton is passed to jsn becoming the number two Target on this team and while I love DK Mecha and while it wouldn't be the most likely scenario right this is definitely not the most likely scenario but there is at least a small percentile chance that jsn becomes the number one target not DK meaf again if you're a DK meaf stand don't fucking go off in the comments like a keyboard Warrior blaming me Nick do you really think that's going to be that's not going to happen Nick that's not going to happen it's probably not going to happen but there's at least a small percentage chance that it does youo Smith looked like ass last year but I think he might look like you know better ass this year shout out M malova so jsn round number nine great draft Capital great player the coaches seem to like him these are the kind of guys you want to take a shot on in the ninth round eighth round you don't really want to be taking these super safe players talk about this a ton early on in your drafts keep it cozy keep it safe wrap the condom around your team put some bubble wrap around your team put them in a helmet right keep them as safe as possible no CTE here but as you get deeper and deeper into the draft you want to be taking more risk so you can get more upside because you don't win your league in the ninth round taking the safest bet win your league hitting on a guy like Jackson Smith the jiga so thank you guys all so much for watching if you did up enjoying today's video please make sure that
