The Unfiltered 2024 Fantasy Football Rankings

hey everyone welcome back to Inon filtered we are back it's been a very long time Fantasy Football starting up I know this episode's coming out a little late um fantasy football starts in about a week right or football in general starts in a week um so today I have my buddy x x welcome to the show thank you for help me out um today today X and I put together quarterback receiver running back and a tight end list uh we don't care about them kickers or the defense because every week it can change so we're not really overly worried about those but we kind of want to give you our little uh Ultimate Guide or quick guide of uh how you should be drafting um obviously these are opinions and these are opinions of our own don't take this as betting advice and also don't take this as to heart because I know there's going to be a lot of hate comments and that's cool to each their own um I think I'm pretty experienced with fantasy football um and I'm pointing exactly at the belt um obviously it's not just our friends and family league um but I've been doing this uh for quite a bit my my bro bro actually got me into this so this is probably my year 15 I think I've been playing something like that X you've been playing you've been playing for just as long I'm assuming so yeah yeah I've been doing playing football like actually playing it and fantasy NFL been watching that since I was in my teens so right very knowledgeable but um I appreciate you coming and helping out today uh for those who are wondering where bevel's at I think beel is actually in a draft right now so he's not able to do today's episode um but the plan is to have both beel and X um whether they're both here or one of them is here to help out with the show um and eventually the goal maybe would be be to live stream it I think that'd be kind of fun to shoot the [ __ ] with some of the people and let them talk crap um they can definitely talk crap on X's team so uh yeah we'll see we'll see the what is that what is that at tanah Hill Jersey um look dude tanah Hill was good but you know hey did who who Who's jersey yet I don't remember that's that's embarrassing bro that's embarrassing of course it's the boy will Levis he's the Dark Horse you actually bought a l gonna be the guy dude he's the guy at least I got I mean I could have Henry I could have come I would have been okay with that will Levis The Boy The Boy okay well dude I I know I know he's packing I get it he's packing so but uh brother may I I hope for my card collection that he goes off because I got a couple PSA 10 of them but uh for Fantasy I don't know I like dehops though I like dehop though but um so today the whole purpose of the episode like I said is just to kind of give you guys a rundown of who you guys should draft because the drafts will for sure be popping this week up until the weekend because it starts uh next week right September what is it 5th check right now for some people are already I got a I got a bunch of people hitting me up asking my opinions on drafts and stuff like that that they I even got a guy texting me right now that's going through a draft and he's hitting into his he's hitting into his mid and later rounds and he's like bro I don't know what to do he had a crazy draft yesterday crazy draft everybody took running backs literally five rounds was all running backs know what to do well if you think about it I think it's because it's we talked about the hero running back strategy where there's only so many good running backs and after that there's so many committees that to me it's like it's not even worth like if you're going to get a committee running back like at that point you might as well go receiver or tight end or get fill in another position at that point yeah we we'll talk about that I'm sure as we go down the list and just yeah for sure strategies of things so for sure um and like I said you know this is just a rundown today I know a lot of people already drafted I had people who drafted a month ago why I don't know um you're my boys but I hate drafting a month before I like to draft I have a draft the Wednesday before the season starts so that's to me like ideal because then you know who's playing who's starting y who's going to be holding out and Etc but um like I said from here on out after we give you guys a rundown uh we're gonna do we're gonna try to do weekly episodes um we will be doing weekly episodes barring any kind of family emergencies but um that is the plan and then every week up Le up to the Super Bowl we will be providing you guys with some kind of feedback and betting odds but for right now we're not going to really go through odds it's strictly fantasy quarterback running back receiver tight endend and then we might share a couple predictions on who we think will maybe be in the Super Bowl and Player of the Year MVP and stuff like that so um I'm gonna go ahead and kick it off at quarterback this is my quarterback rankings and um I I I'm aware that Josh Allen has really nobody however um the last couple years I know the last couple years Josh Allen has been a top two top three U I'm going through my list right now yeah in the last three years he's been uh top one or the top and then it's been top uh he was second place yeah in top yeah he's been top for like since 20 2020 2019 no not 2019 but um so that's kind of how I made my list is I was looking at the past obviously he lost Stefan dig so I understand where people are going to be a little worried there the way I look at it is that he's still going to throw hopefully his young receivers can do well he's still going to make those plays and he's going to run the ball a lot and score a lot of touchdowns so that's where his value comes into I wouldn't be opposed to grabbing Jaylen Herz first just because Jaylen does score a lot of touchdowns and he has a pretty good stacked receiver room especially that they just traded for Johan Dawson and I really love Johan Dodson he's not in my top 40 list but he's definitely a good sleeper um because he has a lot of talent and a lot of good value you can probably get him at the last pick of the draft um so I got as you can see on the screen I got Allen Herz Jackson Mahomes Richardson I have him a little high and X I should say is gonna have a um have a different opinion about that no no no I I'll wait till you get to your you get you can you can get there it's fine well you can go and go through your list and we can talk I just so I have richardon pretty high and the only reason why I do is that he when he was playing a full game he had did show a lot of Promise yes he got hurt so I don't know what we're going to have but I think with his ability to run the ball which is for um for Fantasy reasons is a lot of points especially for the quarterback position um that's where his value comes into and then I have CJ CJ does not run as much as the other quarterbacks as like listed above so I have CJ there at six burrow Prescott um originally had Prescott at three but because I don't know what's going on with CD that could even go lower um I would say if you have a draft later on wait to see what's going on with CD and that'll go into my receiver list as well um then I have Rogers um some people have him higher some people have him lower I really just depend it's going to depend what we see week one with Rogers I mean he's still a Hall of Fame quarterback he has some great weapons and Bree Hall and Garrett Wilson with him um so that's not a bad spot to grab him Kyler Murray should have a breakout year this year I like Marvin Harrison Jr I like Michael Wilson I like James Conor um and Trey McBride's is sick sick he's so sick so um and I got Tua Goff love py cousins Caleb Jaden Justin and the reason why Justin's so low is because he doesn't really have anybody over there so we'll see how that goes uh Trevor Lawrence Deshawn Stafford Mayfield Smith then I have Levis and then last minute I removed Daniel Jones and put in BO Knicks so the reason why I did that is even though Bo Knicks was playing against a bunch of like second stringers and third stringers in college he was doing really well and I really love quarterbacks who come into the NFL with a lot of experience and he's one of those guys that got to play a lot um Brock P's probably an exception but Brock py was not in a won school you know he came in as the last pick in the draft and did really well he also has a Hall of Fame roster around him however um his experience in playing in the NFL shows that that's really important I mean you can look at Trey Lance and the Cowboys he just threw five picks him not having a lot of experience in college to me is what really hindered and hurt is hurting his career or hurt his career I should say um so I think B knck Bon knck might be a sleeper for um offensive rookie of the year but I don't know about all that yet um but we can going go to X's list um because I know his list is a little different than mine oh so much different much different so let you go ahead and explain why everything and go for it so number one 100% CJ strout CJ strout has the best offense right now surrounded in the NFL there's no way you can convince me otherwise you got Joe Mixon double back dual our dual threat in both the pass and the Run CJ stra he's got stuff he's got stuff on on digs you got tank Dell you got um Nico Collins line is pretty solid for the most part gives him enough time gives him enough time to where like Rod pointed out he doesn't need to run all the time that's a problem with a lot of other quarterbacks right now because line right now is the worst in the NFL the worst that we have ever seen right now in the NFL because defensive linemen defenses are just getting faster bigger stronger it's hard for offensive lineman to keep up so CJ stra got a good enough line the Texans draft a offensive line uh I don't believe so if they did it had to have been in the later rounds because the only the only reason why I asked is because they had the 10th worst uh um offensive line in the NFL last year but see that was but see that was because their offensive coordinator was doing what the Chiefs did with Alex Smith getting quick dropbacks three-step dropbacks every once in a while five-step drop back giving you just little short passes little things and then once they realized that tank Dell Nico Collins they were good they started stretching the field a little bit just putting them automatically in shotgun giving him that space already so you didn't have to wait for the drawbacks you just let the routes develop CJ just moves in the pocket he was really good there but enough about him he's number one no question in my mind he's number one number two obviously L Lamar Jackson Lamar Jackson now that he's got Derrick Henry in the back field brother you got the options you got play actions defenses are gonna have to pick what what do they want to do You're Gonna Keep a spy that's fine I mean Ravens wide receivers aren't really the best in the world but it's still Lamar Jackson and you still got Derrick Henry who can pass who can catch out of the back field too he did it for the Titans a long time that's just that's a scary offense a scary offense the second they got Derrick Henry that was probably the best thing they could have done for Lamar because now you have two running backs in the back field essentially so Lamar's gonna be good Lamar's gonna be very good uh number three Jaylen herdz now that he lost Kelsey we don't know how the tush push is gonna be but it's really not going to be that difficult honestly most centers in the NFL can make it happen regardless and even if they want I mean they could just have Herz run on the outside since they're going to Crow the middle if they want I mean they also got saquan they got say so I mean yes so option option is also there too Herz doesn't really like to run too much he likes to be more of a pocket passer but you know he could still get it done uh for Patrick Mahomes I I mean I'm going solely I'm really kind of going solely based off name here because it is Patrick Mahomes you know what I mean if you got him on your team you're not sitting him even if he's having CRA I had him last season absolutely I wanted to trade him I had him on the trade block almost the entire season I hated him and I'm scarred right now I'm I'm a little hurt I he cut meat he finished eight last year he finished number eight it didn't it didn't feel like it with my teens of points I was getting he finished below he finished below love and Brock pie CG dude it was disgusting but he's still Patrick Mahomes so you just got to respect that so he's a greatest quarterback of Our Generation 100% he is yeah he he is yep 100% these new kids this new football generation he is the new Tom break number five I got Josh Allen I put Josh Allen up there in the top five just because of how he did last how he's been doing it he really doesn't have weapons it's got to be a scary year for him uh then we got Dak Dak is a whole CD lamb thing but still I mean he's if I saw him on the board I I would pick him up 100% And honestly I think as my draft goes and with the strategy that I'm going to do this year I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up with that regardless but uh seven Joe burough Joe burrow has to be in the top 10 I don't like his weapons I I am banking banking on the fact that Brian Callahan his offensive coordinator of last year is now the Titans offensive coordinator so expect big things he's also a quarterback Guru every quarterback he's been a part of big things but Joe burrow still he's still Joe burrow he still got Jamar Chase he's still got T Higgins I mean that whole offense is giant uh injury-prone but they have Zack Moss yes Zach Moss balled out a little bit we'll see if he could be a number one we'll see if he can handle the load uh I love Matthew Stafford number eight Matthew Stafford I love Matthew Stafford he's got he's got great weapons he's got a good offense good offensive line that does really well in pass and run block Kiron Williams whenever he's healthy he ends up always almost if not always having over a 100 yards rushing so his his line solid gives him enough time to do what he needs to do number nine Aaron Rogers 100% Aaron Rogers the Jets in my opinion have one of the best defenses Aaron Rogers is goingon to have a lot of time the Jets defense is gonna constantly give them the ball a bunch of times they're going to go a lot of three and outs they're gonna give him a lot of chances to do a lot of things Aaron Rogers doesn't really take chances a lot so you're not worried about interceptions that's why I put him in the top 10 Jared goth I'm on Ross St Brown you know a poor man's Megatron but uh yeah you got Gib M backfield they got Williams why not Williams I'm a little suspect on but that's fine I like him he's fast I like him it opens up because everybody's so focused on everybody else so I get it right uh we got Tua Jordan love I'm still so skeptical on him H bro H Tu he's balling out brother I can't I can't I can't hate him for that uh Kurt Cousins Poor Man's Drew Brees Brock pie overated overrated uh Hall of Fame cast Gino Smith the most the most he's always my Darkhorse quarterback the most consistent quarterback you're gonna get so if you are running this strategy of not getting a quarterback till late in the round Gino's gonna always be there I would recommend picking him up always pretty solid Caleb Williams I actually didn't have time to update it but I want to put him actually at 24 behind Anthony yeah is what I would actually do because he hasn't played a game and that does matter for something in my opinion that matters for something because uh we've seen it multiple times in the NFL the change of pace is different there's even a video of Keenan Allen getting a pass from Caleb Williams and when he gets that pass he's just like oh hell no that's leg legitimately what he says there's a video of it because he went from Justin Herbert to him so I don't know that's just a little suspect in my eyes but is what it is uh Trevor Lawrence you know it is what it is there he lost Calvin Ridley so that may take him a step back he got paid big money and if you watch NFL you know what happens when Big Money happens and my boy will Levis the Dark Horse the underrated the man that's going to show the world Brian Callahan has good uh good pedigree so every quarterback he's coached and been a part of has the best season of their career so going there Justin Herbert he has no weapons but he's got the best coach one of the best coaches in the NFL so that's gonna be running the ball he loves running the ball but the thing about it though is he did take the ners from a 4 and 12 season to playoff contention real quick and Super Bowl and lost yep yep happens happens uh Baker Mayfield Baker Mayfield Kyler Murray I think is going to do garbage again I don't think he's gonna do anything I don't think he's gonna be plugged by injuries as bad if he is then that only further proves the point but I just don't see much out of him DeShaun Watson's a joke uh Daniel Jones is a joke Anthony Richardson I don't have him on my list I don't got the D on my list man Daniel I mean he the only good thing for the Giants right now is Malik he's all right he's all right but uh Anthony Richardson he showed his rookin one of my best buddies is is a Colts fan and I told him after his first shoulder injury he's running like he's in college and doesn't realize that these NFL dudes can hit and I told him he's gonna get injured and sure as heck the next game boy gets season ending injury and I told him so that is also why I put Jaden Daniels and Caleb Williams at the bottom because that rookin is going to come out and cost and so so the rookin is why you have the both the boys at the bottom yes I think out of the rookies Caleb Williams has the Best Supporting Cast he'll be the best out of them if you are doing a legacy drafts Caleb Williams should 100% be the first one that you draft I think I think I like Caleb um in mid only because I like his Supporting Cast as far as like ke Allen is even though he's older he's was a top receiver last year DJ Moore is a top receiver as always um and who is there R who's a running back it's not Roshan didn't they sign somebody or I tripping um believe they got not off the top I'm oh they have Swift I'm pretty sure it was Swift that's right yeah they got sft well Swift has finished the top running back ever but he's not he's not a bad running back I think I think given the opportunity enough people don't really focus on him too much he he makes a name for himself yeah I mean I think we have some different opinions as far as like uh Gino and and Kyler I think Kyler just his injuries is what kind of hurt him but at the end of the year once he started playing he kind of went off like I said I'm I'm a big believer in Marvin Harrison this year um yeah I agree and I think that Kyler's gonna get him the ball um and I think James Conor's always just been a stud but Trey McBride did really well last year after Zack got hurt so I just think that maybe that's why he'd probably Propel him a little bit we'll see on Richardson because I can see one way or the other um I just have him high based on his rushing ability um yeah when when it comes to when it comes to Murray I the Cardinals need to fire their training staff because they are plagued by injuries they need to fire that get somebody new Richardson yeah we'll we'll see if he now learned to not take hits in the NFL and slide run out of bounds right um but the next set so we're only doing run uh 40 running backs and that's just because um I mean in a 10 Team league you're can probably grab three four but there's multiple there's more running backs but at this point you're starting to get into backups so I didn't see a need in um and going more than but you can always check you know ESPN sleeper Walter picks fantasy pros like there's more running backs if you have a bigger League or you're doing a legacy draft you can always look there um but for this purpose we're only going to kind of look at the top 40 so I have Christian mcaffrey he's hurt right now um I think as the week kind of goes on I mean for me though it's it's it's hard because I feel like he's the best running back in football regardless and I have his jersey I'm not wearing it but he is and even though it sucks to say this as a Niners fan he might get hurt this year um and the only the last the last running back to have the two top um uh fantasy points in the season has been LAN Thomason and I forget what year that was but it was a really long time ago um X and I had this argument I mean I think he's as good as LT I don't know though if he's going to be able to repeat it it's really going to go on injury and I think the fact that he already has a knee injury it is concerning but I think with the first overall pick you're not doing it justice to not grab Christian mcaffrey if that makes sense you just got to kind of bank that he doesn't get hurt uh two I put Brie Hall and um I know a lot of people are going Christian Bree bejon um I'm not saying to grab Bree in the first round I'm just saying that as far as running backs are concerned that's where I have them um and the only reason for that is because his rookie year he he rushed for 1500 yards and he was number three on the depth chart so I mean I think he has a lot of promise with Aaron Rogers coming back if he can be healthy too they can have a lot of dump offs and Bree is fast he's strong and he's qu and just he's to me he's there's just no other guy I think can do both and I think he's the most um relatable as far as like CMC as far as like style play so that's why I have him at two um I don't have ban at three and that's because there was a comment made that they're still planning on using Tyler out Geer uh which is cool but well why am I going to draft him with a top three pick if he's going to be in a committee like to me I mean I could have probably put him lower um but three I got Jonathan Taylor Zach Moss is gone yeah JT gets hurt honestly a lot of running backs get hurt X and I had this conversation the other day too yeah uh so to me I think if you're G to have a guy who's explosive and if he can stay healthy like JT is the guy you're going to take he can catch the ball can run the ball and he's the only guy there that they're going to use so um that's why I have at three four I got saquin saquon's on a new team yes jayen is going to take some of that rushing ability away um however um saquon's young he's very young and um I believe I saw a St statistic H you talk statistic out there that said that no one over the age of 29 has finished first in fantasy well uh Christian mcaffry is re approaching uh Derrick Henry's approaching Kamar um some of these guys are starting to get a little old Jones so yeah I think Squan has has the ability on this team to possibly break out five I got bejon um like I said I'm kind of even more concerned with the Tyler Alger comment that was made um but as far as talent wise bejan should be a top running back but whether or not the Atlanta Atlanta decides to implement that is a question that Wass to be seen six I got Kiren U so I know I kind of kind Kyon a little high but Kiron Williams I think scored I think you and I were talking about he scored a lot of points when he was playing and healthy um obviously the injury has been catching a lot of these running backs um but now with Cam acr's gone completely um and he he show out last year yeah number seven I have Gibbs so even though David Montgomery is there and is going to take some of that um some of that ability away jir Gibbs is the better more explosive running back and to me uh David Montgomery isn't really a pass Catcher And and Gibbs gets a lot of yards after the catch so I think he is going to be more of that guy that they're going to look to um and also the coach made a comment that they were gonna use him more this year so um eight I have Derrick Henry and I know X is gonna have a fit about this and it's nothing against Derrick Henry because I I like Derrik Henry and I might even grab him before some of these guys concerns me is his age and he's on a new team and he has Lamar um and Lamar's great but Lamar typically likes to run the ball I don't think the Ravens running backs have ever finished really high in fantasy in general um but Derrick Henry definitely gives them a better opportunity to be greater so um that would be interesting to see what happens so now I'm gonna kind of just go through it really quickly I got Kamar at nine uh Kamar it's kind of the same thing he can run and catch the ball the Saints didn't really do a whole lot with him last year which was kind of disappointing he had some good games but he also has some real stinkers and um I mean I would just kind of be cautious about that poo um kind of from here it could kind of be open to interpretation and only because it's really hard like poo is good but you also have Mahomes who likes to throw the ball a lot then you got Travis ATN um now with Kevin Ridley gone you know maybe they might rely on him a little bit more but he does get a lot of work uh out of the back field James Cook that's for the bills the only reason why I put him so high is because I think that with Josh Allen not having any receivers he's going to have to rely on on his only guy that he has chemistry with and that's going to be James Cook uh 13 I got Joe Mixon I do like the Texans this year um but the only thing is the Texans have so many options right now that I don't know who not not four four or five players on that team on the offense is going to be able to be successful so I wonder who takes the hit my guess would probably be um tank Dell and probably Mixon or Schultz they're tight end um because Nico Collins is still crazy good and so is uh Stefan but we'll see how cancer Stefon could be this year um then I got a chain a chain I have him a little low I don't really know moster is technically the starter but Chain's definitely the better more explosive back we'll see what happens there Kenneth Walker is a nice little sleeper he's always been very good uh just depends on what kind of Seattle we get this year Aaron Jones this is actually my biggest sleeper the Vikings have nobody and Aaron Jones when the when so if if green for if it wasn't for Aaron Jones the Green Bay Packers wouldn't be in the playoffs the amount of times the yards after the catch and the and the big rushing plays that he made last year and the fact that they dumped him off like that I think he has something to prove and I think this has a lot of Rel relatability for me when it comes to like Brett Favre when he left to the Vikings um from Green Bay and I think that Aaron Jones is set to have a breakout year I just we'll see how what happens with Sam darnold um then have Josh Jacobs I mean he's always a good running back but he's never really finished at the top he is getting a lot little older he does um he does get injured quite a bit Rashad white is good in the fact that he's very good for PPR he does get a catch a lot out of the backfield um but maker mainfield prove that he is doing really well with the bucks so um I mean for PPR you're definitely going to go there ra Andre Stevenson is a starter he did really well last year until he got hurt and I definitely grab him he's probably gonna be a top he could be a top 10 this year depending on how things go there James Conor always like mcgomery always like Swift he's never really finished at the top but you never know he's on a he's on a Chicago Bears team they have something to prove so we'll see what happens Javonte Williams so a lot of people don't really talk about him Javon Williams is for the Broncos he's a really good running back he is injury plague but they have a nice young Team new quarterback we'll see what happens I mean he probably get hurt but you kind of gotta grab him where you gotta grab him then you got Zach Moss zir white I don't know why zir White's ranks so high I kind of did a lot of research he's a running back there but the Raiders look absolutely terrible let's just call for what it is you're not drafting the quarterbacks honestly like if you have to draft the running back you have to I don't even want to touch Devonte with a 10- foot pull even though how high I have him it's just a base out of respect when we go to the receivers list but he has no quarterback and honestly I'd stay away from all Raiders players except for maybe Bowers um so Brian Robinson this one was a weird one for me so with the commanders this is where we start getting into the Committees and I think with the Committees it's really hard to determine who to grab uh Brian Robinson is a starter technically and when they signed Austin Eckler they said he's a complimentary role so he's going to be a receiving back so that also hurts both of their value in fantasy because Brian Robinson did pretty decent last year he was kind of a surprise considering all things because they had Gibson as well um but um I put both of them at 2627 I like 20 I like Austin Eckler in general because of who he has been but if he's going to be a complimentary role yeah you're kind of Gonna Know You're basically drafting him knowing him that he's not going to be a starter and you're really gonna have to based off matchup um and that what most start and I know mostar is a starter but I think everyone across the board and not even on this podcast but ESPN and everywhere else really likes a chain so it really it's up to coach McDaniels on what he wants to do um is that his name Mike McDaniels right yeah what he's gonna end up doing with moster but moster had the most rushing touchdowns I think last year so yeah um then you got ni I don't like any Pittsburgh Steelers running backs Na's been like a freaking killer as far as like not in a good way but like just heart heart-wrenching because people have been drafting him top five every year and he hasn't really done anything yeah he's he's good he's a good runner for like a yard but he's yeah he he baits you into wasting a pick on him that's what he does I I like Jaylen Warren I think Jaylen Warren's more explosive and he has better receiving ability um but we that whole team though besides like the receivers we really don't know what's going on Russell Wilson looks like he's a be the starter but Russell Wilson hasn't been that good he was also on a bad Broncos team but I I think a lot of that stuff is waiting to be seen so if you want to take a shot at your team if you're a Steelers fan you know probably go Warren and na if you just if it's a regular like not PPR League um so next we have Taj and Tony Pard so I like Taj Taj Ison seems like it's going to be more of like a receiving option but I think Taj has the most upside Paul's gonna be there but he's coming in from a Cowboys team who's not gonna have as good of an offensive line so take it for what it is sorry I know those are your boys but call spade a spade right um so yeah Jonathan Brooks I put asri so he's a Caroline Panthers rookie he's hurt right now and I don't think he's going to play for four games so yeah he's mad I I wouldn't be mad if you don't grab him I think anybody who's hurt or holding out well unless it's like CD you just don't really touch him um but he is there so that you know if you have a big bench and you have IR spots it's definitely not bad to snag him because he would be good after week four uh then I got single ter eeko Elliott so this is an interesting one because this guy went to the p did pretty well when he played and they didn't really give him a lot of playing time um he's technically not the starter for Dallas which is weird but I feel like he has the most upside as far as touchdowns are concerned just because of the basis of who he is if it's a a fourth and one or fourth and goal like you're gonna give it to eek Elliott so um and I feel pretty good of him scoring so I got him there Gustin Dobbins that's another committee uh they're both in the uh on in San Diego so yes coach Harbaugh's there he loves to run the the ball but these guys are both injury prone like a lot and they were on a Ravens team that really they had Lamar as a running back and they still got hurt every year and they never finish at the top every year so um I would take them with a grain of salt I'd kind of just go by committee if you're going to draft them hopefully in the next coming weeks we can see what's going on as far as their playing time and that'll give you a better idea of you know whether to drop one or keep one or whatever it is that you got to do U the next set is um for and chub so I put jome Ford over Nick chub because Nick chub's still hurt so yeah um yeah I mean I think people are going to draft him just based on namesake and I think most leagues have an IR spot so if you have an IR spot you're definitely gonna grab chub and stash him but I don't know how early you would want to grab him only because we don't know it's it's a tough injury I mean the guy almost lost his leg so we don't know what chub is going to come back um he might be a good IR stash but I don't know if I would want to grab him in the in the first 40 running backs to be honest but that's completely up to you but I still want to put him on the list because he is an honorable mention um and the last is Chase Brown Chase Brown was a rookie last year for the Bengals um you know Zach Moss is coming in and G to be the starter but you never know and Chase Brown might not be a bad kicker to kind of it's basically what do we call it uh it's your it's your your handcuff right yeah at that point it's a handcuff and you kind of just got to grab them if you have Zach Moss just in case and same with goes with chub if you're G to grab chub you got to grab forward because I got into that bad situation last year so all right that was a lot of talking I'm gonna try to go through it fast last time but our running backs and receivers are GNA be our biggest list yeah all right X give us a little insight on your uh running back list so the only reason why Christian McCaffrey if he's there bro there's no reason why you don't take him but I got I got that Q next to him because he's questionable he's questionable Madden Curse is alive and well dude it's there and I even have a bet with somebody that Christian mcaffry is gonna get injured for the entire season this year I have a bet with somebody that it's gonna happen that's not me that's not me no no that's not you somebody else but I have that bet because I don't I just don't think it's gonna be there uh bejn Robinson I don't know what it is everybody's kind of on him I think he's a little overrated but you know that's fair to be fair the thing about it is I mean if everybody's saying it there's got to be something a little bit to it they're they're running a new offense they got Kirk Cousins now Drake London's supposed to be something now we'll see how that kind of plays out that that might might it it might make people it might give him a little bit of leeway to be able to actually establish a type of identity in his running uh Bree Hall if Aaron Rogers can play for longer than three minutes even four minutes in a season then that'll be good um that's jacked up gree Hall should be good um I mean in reality if he was there I would probably take my number four over him because I had Kiren Williams last year and he he was 20s 20 points almost every single week so I like him a lot um I like Kiron Williams a lot uh so those two are kind of interchangeable for me uh number five Derrick Henry obviously because Lamar like I said before that's going to open up play action that's going to open up a lot of options that they're going to have to take their pick uh and if Derrick Henry gets farther than five yards it's a problem for a defense and every defensive coordinator knows that because that stiff arm is madness uh saquon Barkley gonna do solid I think with the Eagles open up a little bit that might take away the tush push does kind of mess him up in his value a little bit because they do run that where most other teams will just run with a running back a little dive straight down the middle and then you get your cheat points that way but I still think he's a good solid pickup uh I think they're going to use him they're gonna they're gonna have to make defenses are gonna have to make decisions and I gonna cover Devonte Adam or uh Devonte Smith and AJ brown or are we gonna try and focus on San so to put spy to for Herz and that's the problem is that they're going to have a lot of guys allocated to lot of different players and and that's going to stretch that defense then so right that defense is going to have to hope that their defensive line can contain him which is probably not gonna happen to be honest but uh so he has a lot of value there Jonathan Taylor Jonathan Taylor got paid big money the Colts didn't want to pay him big money so the fact that they did means they're going to get their money's worth so they're going to run that boy real hard they're going to run that boy real hard so I think he's easily a top 10 pickup um etne et's good PPR uh the Jags right now don't really have a lot of receivers so you're going to be looking for Lawrence to do a lot of checkdowns I think that's going to be solid for him uh et's also elusive good runner their line pretty average so there's no reason why he shouldn't get good points Alvin Camaro I actually really like I think he's got to do I think he's going to be top five this year um I just have him a little bit lower on the list just because uh he like suspended there's you know there's a lot of factors with him so that's why I couldn't put them really in the top five uh the one thing that I do want to point out about this list is how I have this list is everybody going down number one on the depth chart is before their number two even though their number two could be better so just putting that out there uh well except for a chain right yeah CH yeah I mean that's that's one of the things where a chain You could argue that a chain is the starting running back but who knows that's you know that's a whole another thing uh Gibbs I'm actually okay with alternating Pacho and Gibbs at their spots I think they're interchangeable I had Pacho last season he had a rough start but then ended up pulling out good towards the end uh pko I think really kind of I think moles understood the potential that he had towards the end of the season and started giving him a lot more chances and I think the team as a whole kind of noticed what he could do Gibbs Gibbs is on I love Dan Campbell I love I love the Lions I really do um so I like a lot of their players to be honest and Gibbs is just a good runner he's a solid Runner he's got a good two-headed Beast back there and so there's a lot of upside to him uh then we'll start to head a little bit faster Josh Jacobs new team good runner though Joe Mixon yeah a little scary with his offense potential Kenneth Walker I really love I I pick him up almost every single season I normally get him for a steal in about the third fourth round I normally get him and he's always solid uh Rashard white he's all right he's all right he's he's there he's there I think he's your consistent he's like your Gino Smith of the running back world uh a chain already talked about cook cook like you pointed out is probably going to be used a lot uh just because Allen's GNA figure it out and I think that offense is going to figure it out that uh the running game they have to do a running game now because they have no real wide receiver threats uh then we got Swift We got Jones raand Dre Steverson I actually really like um James Connor had him last year I actually traded for him when he was injured and he was planning on coming back because I had no other top tier rece or running back so he he didn't do bad uh Harris I would like you I would stay away from any commanders or uh Pittsburgh Steelers honestly Patriots as well I would stay away from them and the Panthers those are kind of my four teams I would stay away from a lot of players from them but ra Andre is fine as long as he's I do I do like ra Andre but he's about the only one really yeah uh Nick chub I think you're better if you pick up Nick chub you need to handcuff uh Jerome Ford right behind him uh then that also goes into uh Williams you got a handcuff uh uh Jal Jal Jal right behind him yeah 100% you have to uh Zach Moss not bad uh parul he's set to the starter but uh Callahan already said that they're going to be really interchangeable parul's going to be the every down back so to speak and Taj is going to be kind of your third round goal line so handcuff those two if you're going to do anything but it's going to be hard honestly in my opinion I would stay away from the Tennessee backfield because you don't know what's going to happen yet I would pick them up off the waivers if just pray that somebody's stupid in your league and waste a pick on one uh 100% because that oh it's gonna happen it's gonna happen no 100% once we get into wide receivers I'm G to be saying that a lot um white white single Terry Robson Gus Edwards Ezekiel Elliott now we're starting to get into the technically the number twos uh going into Montgomery moster I don't think you're bad with those these first ones Montgomery is on the is number one on the dep chart too by the way it's still Montgomery jir I know I know it's it's one of those two-headed back fields where you don't know honestly every game could change but that just comes up to coach planning on how they want to but mcgomery finish nine last year so you never know I'm just saying I like you never know no no I agree but when it comes to those double headed backfields I get really weird about them I get really weird it's it's too much of a question for me when it comes to Fantasy and I think you would agree anybody that plays fantasy enough would say consistency is what you want the most you're right that's that's all you're really looking for you're looking for consistent points every single week um that's true then going into it uh you got moster you got Ford you got Taj those are all going to be your handcuffs every if you pick up their their starter you're picking up them right after um Austin Eckler same thing um glofin same thing shanet I actually like uh I think he's kind of a handcuff as well to Walker because Walker does get injured uh hubber that Panther backfield is a mess that whole team's a mess but he's still worth mentioning and then my sanders same thing just worth mention where do my Sanders play for the Eagles still uh I believe he is oh man dude I'm drawing a blank uh dude now now you got me looking now you got me looking what the computer for he's on eag so he's the back of the Eagles okay I figured yeah that's what I figured yeah yeah still good and I think and I think this is great like too for people who are like cuz I didn't even really talk about a lot of cuffs cuz I kind of put them together it's just hard CU right now you don't really know who started um and and is running backs get injured we all saw that last time so handcuffing sometimes your best strategy is to handcuff and just be aware that other people are aware who you draft so they're going to go after your handcuffs as well because they're going to try and use it as trade um trade value to get somebody else from so just be a be aware of that so I'm gonna do my best to try to go through this a little quickly um yeah so CD he's the number one receiver last year he was number one because Tyreek didn't play in week 15 um however if he's not playing like if your draft is at the very end uh right before the season starts and CD is still holding out you're drafting Tyreek Hill no questions asked um I only put CD because he was the number one receiver last year and if he is back on the Cowboys then you got to pick him I mean it's just the numbers speak for themselves two I got Tyreek three I got Jamar I think those are pretty the basic three everyone it's going to be kind of one two three in that order of those three guys um then I got a mon Ron I got AJ Brown so I put Jefferson at six and it's kind of hurting my soul a little bit because I really don't know I think I honestly don't really want to touch Justin Jefferson this year just because I don't like Sam darnold um in the offense uh Aaron Jones is definitely goingon to open up a little bit more for the receivers but is can Sam darnold do well enough to get him the ball um and I think that's kind of where we kind of go back and forth but he was still putting up yards with backup quarterbacks like Nick Mullin and stuff so we'll see what happens there seven I got Puka Puka is hurt right now um but I I think puka is the best receiver in uh the uh for the Rams right now as far as explosiveness and the fact that he's always getting open even if it's little check downs and PPR formats that's going to be your guy eight is Garrett Wilson Garrett Wilson supposed to have a really good year if Aaron Rogers can stay healthy um he could probably even be top three I know it's a big saying but if Rogers is healthy all year G Wilson's going to be that guy um number nine I got Marvin Harrison super high and I'm super high on the guy um he's probably one of the best receiving prospects to come out of college in a really long time and that's not to be hitting on all these great receivers that we have but Marvin Harrison Jr is that guy so I think as long as Kyler can keep his Call of Duty habits to himself he might be all right and do well uh Devonte is at 10 and it kind of hurts me um I I want to kind of put him lower but Devonte is I think it's more of like the fact that it's Devonte Adams and he always finds a way to do it um but he's gonna get con consistently get double teamed which is gonna open guys like Jobe me Myers to be a little more open but he doesn't have a quarterback throwing him the ball right now some Garner menu can kind of figure it out because he's the The Perennial starter right now I guess because they said that um well I I personally I'm staying away from Jefferson and Adams this year I'm not going to touch them even if they're available it has to be like a really good value like four fifth round and I don't think that's going to happen so uh next I got Michael Pitman Michael Pitman is done absolutely really well since he's been in the league um and even though with the introduction of Josh DS Michael pitman's always a guy that is going to get a lot of receptions and get a lot of yards and he's going to be their go-to guy even with JT being there um so I really like him there I got Chris La Mike Evans Mike Evans has been on this crazy streak of getting a thousand yards every year so Mike Evans is probably the most consist consist receiver in the NFL so I would definitely not be mad if you even went up earlier to pick Mike Evans just because you already know what you're going to get out of him then I got Drake London and a little bit of that because of the hype we're hoping Kirk Cousins can actually get in the ball Kirk Cousins was able to get it to JJ um so we'll see what happens I like I like DK maaf every year um but he does have some of those big games and then he has some of those boo boo games because Tyler locket there as well um but DK mataf is going to be J's number one weapon so we'll see what happens and then you got Devonte Smith Smith like I said Eagles backfield or eagles with Jaylen Herz and then they got AJ Brown Devonte Smith is up there got a nice little contract as well I think he's like at 26 or 28 million a year so um very quick as well 17 I got Diggs and some people might have him hire for me Stefan digs is a diva um Stefan digs is now going to to a team that has a lot of talent and a lot of receiving ability um and I don't know if he's going to get all the targets he might be bitching and complaining as much as he wants but t and Nico Collins and Joe Mixon are all very viable really good players so um I don't expect him to be top five this year but he'll definitely still have some value next I got Cooper Cup and the only reason why I have Cooper cup a little low is because Cooper cup gets hurt every year call it for what it is he's better in the slot um and Matt Stafford has been hurt in the past so I mean even though I have pukah high Cooper cup I just kind of want to wait and see just as you get older your injuries are going to be more reoccurring um so let's see what happens but you definitely can't go wrong with having Cooper Cup on your team he used to be a top three receiver in the league and people were grabbing him with the first three picks so let's not forget next I got DJ Moore DJ Moore is going to be good the reason why I have him a little lower than people want as well is because even though Caleb is a rookie quarterback and is GNA look really good I think he's gonna do well this year maybe make the Bears of the playoff I don't know yet that might be like a they'll probably be like a wild card if they do make it um but Kean Allen the introduction to Keenan Allen also is going to take away from his targets and even though Keenan Allen is a little older and DJ Moore is younger and probably more a little bit more explosive I think having that experience is Caleb's going to kind of just kind of sprad the ball around a little bit so because of that there's more talent I don't have DJ Moore as like top 10 this year uh next I got Debo and then I got Brandon um I put them next to each other because uh they could be very similar Brandon had one good year last year um now he wants to get paid and don't get me started about it I'd rather have George Pickin or somebody else for the ners than Brandon auk um but dvo I think him being able to run the ball and catch the ball and being a little bit more explosive player he is injury riddled um however I think he does provide more value for a team and the fact that he can get you rushing and receiving touchdowns might just have him a little bit higher than bruk for me we got Jaylen waddle because you know HW Tua is gonna be throwing the ball a lot and uh you know Jaylen wall is always a nice BET next I have Nico Collins uh I really like Nico Collins this year he did really well last year even though Stefan digs is going to be there um NCO Collins has built that repertoire up with CJ shroud and Tin Dell as well I have him at 40 here um but because I think Diggs is a big diva uh he might just you know some of those some of that receiving value that they had last year might not be as prominent um they're going to be a good team don't get me wrong I just think some of the targets are not going to go their way as much as to digs uh then I have Z flowers Z flowers is technically the number one guy um however I didn't put another name is Rashad baitman that's another guy you need to look out for rashan baitman is going to be the number two I think he's going to have a really good year this year year um and I think with the introduction of Derrick Henry a lot of their passing games is going to open up a little bit then I got M link neighbors even though I absolutely despise Daniel Jones and I think he's a terrible quarterback that they pay too much for League neighbors is came coming off a 1600 yard season in college um so and he has a lot of size on him and a lot of speed uh so I mean he he has potential to do well but we'll see then I have t and I know I have t Higgins a little low um I just think Jamar Chase is the guy down there regardless um and uh I would honestly I'd probably switch T Ridley and Pickins and i' probably move neighbors to buy Rashi if I'm gonna fix it or actually I'm gon put I put Neighbors at 29 and moving the list up if that makes sense so I go t Calvin George Rashid Rashid because Rashid did really well last year um see if I have my list of where he's at I mean considering all his other outside bull crap uh Rashi finished 27 um and a lot of his stuff was picked up at the end of the year once Patrick mahom started picking it up so um so rasid Kirk and the reason why I have Kirk there is he's a starter he's the number one guy Calin Ridley's gone Christian Kirk did well before Ridley was there so um I think he's G have a bounceback season Chris Godwin he has injury riddled but he does put up a lot of value I'd obviously grab Mike Evans first but Godwin's always not a bad guy to have as just in case Mari Cooper He's Still the guy in Cleveland Deshawn Watson's look like crap but Cleveland doeses have a great defense um arguably the number one defense coming into the year this year so um you know as far as Martin Cooper's concerned he might have a lot of opportunities and a lot of potential so keep an eye on that Keenan Allen you're not going to go wrong grabbing him just don't expect him to have the production that he has with San Diego or Los Angeles sorry it's so weird not calling the San Diego Chargers um then you got Deontay Johnson Deontay Johnson's went from the Steelers to the Panthers so uh he's the number one guy there next to Adam thel Bryce young we don't really know what he's going to happen that what's going to happen with him there but we'll see I really like DeAndre Hopkins and I want to tell you this specifically X I really like DeAndre Hopkins the boy gets hurt he's a little older I just don't know if I can trust Will Smith or Will Smith will Lis yet so Will Smith uh anyways so I I mean I hope for his sake he might be a really good steal really late in the rounds because he's going to be flying under the radar because a lot of people are not not sure how they feel about will Lis yet and there's also uh Malik Willis and I think you guys have another running back to or another quarterback that's coming back to from Rudolph yeah oh you SC whatever happened to Hassan Haskins you guys get rid of him yeah oh okay I don't think but so so those that's you know DeAndre can be one of those guys that you can grab really late for a lot of value just we gotta see how the quarterback play is going to go so scary Terry I got him really low even though he's a starter I I just don't know what Jaden M uh what Daniels is going to do Jaden Daniels I mean I I like him as far as his rushing ability and I think that's why I kept him so high on my QB list but as far as him getting the ball and having that repertoire and that chemistry with scary Terry I'm not so sure yet but scary Terry's been doing really well with really shitty quarterbacks for years so uh he might be another good steal Corin Sutton I had him at 37 Corin Sutton his quarterbacks bow Knicks I think which is actually going to help boost his value a little bit compared to what they were going to do um but like I said a lot of these rookies don't have the chemistry with these guys yet so we have to kind of wait and see so at the current moment I don't like him very high so Jaden Reed I put them and Christian Watson at 38 and 39 because it's kind of weird all the Green Bay receivers last year were very similar as far as their numbers were concerned um but Jaden Reed had all the big explosive plays that Jordan love was getting him open downfield so I think for big playability like as a flex I would like Jaden Reed Christian Watson got hurt and has got hurt in the last two years um and even though he was looking really good I just don't know if I can trust him so that's why I'd say if you if you can grab jayen Reed first and then I have t d at 40 and for what I explained earlier is just because I think there's so many weapons there which is great for them but they're all going to be hindering each other's ability as far as for Fantasy purposes of Target share and receptions and whatever whatever else whereas some of these other guys are just clearcut number one guys so that's where they're more valuable but X go ahead and go through your list I know we're fairly similar for where we're at so which which is kind of nice go ahead and so the only reason why I put Tyreek first is because the CD Lambs hold out his little diva episode going through something about Dallas makes every good receiver go through a little I don't know Diva episode so and I don't know but regardless Tyreek Hill's going to probably be your number one uh CD lamb number two we'll see how that contract dispute comes out Aman raw St Brown and AJ Brown I think can be interchangeable at four and three uh just because they are almost spitting images of each other just on different teams I think AJ Brown is just a little bit more explosive but I think am on Raw St Brown is that consistent catch so they you put them together that would pretty much be another Megatron all over again um which would be awesome to watch but is what it is uh five I got puka uh I really like the kid um yeah he's starting to get a little injury prone but now that he's Gathering attention you're gonna defenses are gonna have to pick a choose Kyon Williams is hitting almost a 100 yards rushing almost every game defenses are gonna have to choose uh you got to focus puka or you got to focus C you can't you can't spread your defense that thin have your safety covering puka have your strong safety covering cup with your Corners so it's double coverage and then you got a spy in the middle looking for Kiren Matthew Stafford's gonna pick that apart all day you got Higg as your tight end that's just gon trash hi's trash stop he's got weapons dude I wish I wish I can get beel in here beel despises Higg he's a Rams fan he's like I hate Higg no he had one Good Year and that was it just one good year last year he was terrible I think I think honest ly it just it comes down to just the weapons that was happening because Coupe was const or uh cup was constantly getting injured so it was kind of Puka so they could cover Higg a little bit better Kiron started coming into the fold so then Higg you could see it his numbers started to go up a little bit like there's just there's a lot going on and I think higgy will have a pretty good season as long as everybody can stay healthy Rams is another one that need to fire their training staff get new people in there so these dudes stop getting injured and the NFL needs to stop putting Turf butless Justin Jefferson here here Justin Jefferson I'm just going kind of by name here I hope somebody's stupid enough to waste their first round pick on him at the end of the day he just doesn't have a quarterback and that's too many questions for me as a first round pick if I'm using a first round pick there should be zero question in my mind this dude's going to perform zero question in my mind and the fact that there's a question mark that scares me which means I'm gonna hope that somebody else Wast a pick on him um you got Chase kind of low Chase is the same thing I'm running off the Brian Callahan leaving train he was their offensive coordinator he created everything the whole identity of that offense was callahans so with him gone I don't know how that's going to turn out and that's too many questions too many questions for me as a first round pick uh Devonte Adams I love the dude like you said he makes it work regardless um Jaylen Wadd I love Jaylen Wadd I love him so much dude he's he's he's kind of like Devonte Smith in my eyes um he Tyreek gets a lot of it but he's still good uh Garrett Wilson kind of think he's a little overhyped but we'll see how he plays out he didn't have Rogers last season so it's kind of hard to say um going into Cooper cup Cooper cup is Cooper cup still good even though he gets injured he's still still a solid pickup in my opinion I would probably I would probably aim for him around third roundish I probably wouldn't go second round depending on what your strategy is and how you're drafting I would probably steal in in kind of third or second hope so hope somebody's uh a little dumb and picks him up in the first round there's always that one in every single League uh Mari Cooper I actually really like uh I actually really like a lot um he just he had a really good game in my opinion he had that one good game towards the end of the season where he got 15 15 yeah um he scored 40 points but after that it's been kind of like me you know I I still actually like him I think he's got I like I think he's got a lot of outside I like him too I wanted him for the ners like if they were G to trade for the Browns I wanted aari Cooper I was like I'd rather no 100% 100% he has a lot of upside he's got a big body he's got consistent hands his routes are a little not 100% in my liking I normally compare a lot of people to like you know the westw and the Julian Edelman typee route running which is 100% but um Mike Evans good he's always consistent solid uh DJ Moore was actually last year was my first year actually having him and I actually liked him he didn't always come in super hot super good but he's consistent he's a solid pick to kind of get in that mid round um he was number six last stream so yeah I I liked him I liked him I think he's good to get in that mid round um DK metf I'm not a big fan of I know you are but I just I love I love D oh dude he his routes are in my opinion garbage he's just a big body with hands and if you notice the one thing that I like about him is he fights for the ball up in the air he fights that ball hard dude he's a specimen he's a specimen of a man bro like if there was anybody like this is like your prototype receiver like as far as like you know DK meta is a poor man's Calvin Johnson he's a poor he's a poor man's me Megatron 100% Calvin wasn't like that though like shredded like that though yeah no that Calvin was or that quick was Calvin was just a monster dude he was just a monster that's that's all you could say he was just a giant monster uh Marvin Harris J I was kind of skittish about putting a rookie up there because I really don't like rookies that much ever since RG3 RG3 scar scarred me from any rookie and a lot of people that have a lot of rookies that have a good first season just remember RG3 keep that in the back of your mind which is why I always tell people a rookie only good come their third season because their second season that's when the NFL figures them out uh um so Harrison he should do good he should do good I I think he's got all the sealing and potential to do good um we'll just see how that coaching staff uses him and see what they do with him uh I think we as fans will figure it out about week 10ish I think we'll see how he's gonna be uh the so 17 18 and 19 I literally put them together on purpose because if you pick up any one of those you're honestly a little screwed but they are good because the problem that you're gonna have and the only two that I would take off of the Texans is CJ shroud 100% because of these options and Joe Mixon Schultz is obviously still kind of that little pick but I would pick these wide receivers up before I pick up Schultz obviously but um they they scare me there's too many options you they're not going to be consistent that's the one thing that's going to scare me from them are they good yes if they were on another team and not all on the same team yes they would be much higher but they're all on the same team so it's scary uh Deo Samuel just a big body plays a bunch of roles gets a lot of gets a lot of weird points so he's good there Devonte Smith had him last season I hated it because it was the AJ Brown Show and it kind of pissed me off but you know whatever he still it was a back and forth thing AJ Brown would have like three good games and then Devonte Smith would get his good game so he's he's still good but definitely mid to lower rounds uh Drake London I hate Drake London I do not like him him and alive to me are just weird inconsistent Drake London never came to what he could be I think now he has a better shot because he's got Kurt cousin Chris alive is just a weirdo I don't know I just don't like him I can't really get behind why people have him so high and I love when I watch people be stupid like that and pick him up so uh Brandon IU contract dispute kind of suspect there the rumors are going back and forth whether it's good now it's bad now it's good now it's bad now I don't know they just need to kiss and make up already because it's really annoying um Calvin Ridley I think yeah honestly trade him I would trade him to some team that needs some type of wide receiver identity and pick up a good like honestly 100% I would if I was the 49ers I would trade him over to the commanders and try and get Scary Terry out of it that's what I would I would love that I would love that I think that would be 100% the smart move to do I think the commanders are kind of looking for something scary Terry's been in consistent and I think uh with Shanahan's offense he could really put him into a system and put him the way that he needs to put him Scary Terry has no help though dude no help no 100% And now that if that was to happen he would be solid uh Calvin Ridley Calvin Ridley I think is going to be the sleeper of the wide receiver room uh the main thing of why he didn't go back to Jacksonville because the funny thing about it was was the Titans and Jacksonville actually gave him the exact same contract there was no difference money was not different in any type of way uh Calvin Ridley actually met and went to the Titans because of rgm who was a 49er exec um and uh he went with him because he asked him one question am I going to constantly be used on the outside AKA running those little flag routes running streaks any of the always staying on the outside too and Brian Callahan said no you're going to be used in the middle you're going to be using slot you're going to be using different packages and so that's why he took the Titans so I think Calvin Ridley in a lot of leagues you're going to be able to get him about mid round and it's going to be a solid steal solid steal um Tyler Lockett I love Tyler Lockett I would rather I know DK meaf is the number one but I would take Lockett over every time I can always rely on metf being taken by you every time so I always pick up lock I love it I don't I just for me he's too inconsistent so that's why I don't grab him he gets hurt he was 34 he was 34 last year I know and hly I like him I like him because DK does get hurt at least once a season so that's why I like him uh y playing week seven Pitman is good Pitman is the number one in um I I just can't find any reason to put him super high but I do still like him and I like the potential he has I think in the next couple of Seasons he'll really establish himself but right now he's just not 100% established for me uh T Higgins falls into the Jamar Chase trap of Brian kahan's gone I'm really banking a lot that Brian Callahan's gone if that does not work out this season and that offense still is EXP exposive then I have no leg to stand on and I'll I'll eat that one um Portland Sutton I did a lot of mock drafts and I ended up with courand Sutton every single time I did a mock draft so it was kind of weird but uh pretty good uh Scary Terry is just that he's scary don't pick him up really unless you get him in a late round uh Jaden Reed he should be good with love but love loves to you know spread the love yeah so it's a little inconsistent there z z flowers that Ravens defense is odd there's no real consistency to it uh Pickins honestly I really just don't like the Steelers but he's still that solid but yeah he's he's that solid pick in the late round once you hit about 30 on this list a lot of them or the solid mid round you know you need a quarter or you need some type of other receiver that isn't a superstar receiver but kind of that high to mid- tier that's pretty much 30 and below is going to be that uh Malik nabers rookie Xavier worth uh worthy has a lot of potential uh DeAndre Hopkins yeah DeAndre Hopkins uh little lower on the list just because he is getting older doesn't mean he still won't be good I think he'll be a solid steal in the late round uh Christian Kirk is going to be Trevor Lawrence's only weapon Deontay Johnson uh Jordan Addison and I actually like uh makoni I I think I think he's one of those bronos rounds uh no he is Giants I believe oh and um I I think honestly he's one of those you know when you hit the late round and you're just shooting in the dark open and you're G to get something I think he'll be one of them he's your Dark Horse then yeah yeah maybe but I would say for a more well-known one I would say Calvin really so through our tight ends um this should be these are very similar yeah um so last year Sam La Porto finished number one Travis Kelce also uh didn't play two games um and George K actually finished second which was interesting um but it didn't feel like it yeah well the Titans I mean the highest scoring so usually Travis Kel is one of those guys that could score as much as a receiver or running back and he didn't really do that this year so it'll be interesting to see if someone's actually going to grab Travis in the first round it usually always happens and like I'm okay with it just based on point value because if you're looking at last year's rankings um and then after after we're done with the tight ends I'm actually G to get into like the different draft strategies that you can do um yeah more specifically I like to do a no tight in draft strategy I had s because I got him off the waivers and to me that's what I like to do because I'd rather have toall backs receivers and subs and quarterback um oh God I did not spell George's name right I am so sorry George okay so I have Travis Kelce number one I think Travis Kelce is going to still be that guy from Mahomes he had a little off year last year but also Taylor S was introduced there was a lot of stuff going around he is getting older mind you um I've seen a lot of people have lepor over Kelce I just still think Kelsey's um chemistry with Mahomes is going to be um Second To None So you're always going to go Kelce then I like leaport then I like Andrews Andrews was hurt last year but Andrews has built that chemistry with Lamar then I got like KD KD did come in under 20 pounds because he had core surgery that's something to monitor um however George KD I mean at that point like I feel like there's a couple running backs or running backs tight ends that you can take and after that it kind of falls off so George KD still makes that list Trey McBride he did really well last year he finished 10 but he didn't really get started until uh Zack her got hurt and then he was eventually traded or he was cut I forget what happened um and then there's Evan Ingram who's also a t he was top six last year um and he started seeing a lot of that more uh consistency after his bye uh then you have D con k David njoku for the Browns Kyle Pitts so Kyle Pitts have a little higher this year I'm just hoping Kirk Cousins can do something because he had T.J hackinson and T.J Hawkinson finished top four last year um even though he missed four two games um and TJ so TJ is not on my list cuz he's hurt he's going to be out for three to seven games so as right now I wouldn't draft him unless you have an IR spot and you want to grab him or you just grab him from wers and that's on my list too so yeah put that so and then uh I got Ferguson so Ferguson didn't do too bad I don't think I could be tripping though he finished top nine last year I like Jake fergon I like yeah I mean I think he's gonna be option especially with uh CYS losing Michael Gallop not like Gallop did really did anything but they still have cd they haven't really changed much as far as like besides a running back so um he's going to be consistent I have Brock bers a little higher and I'm just thinking that he's because he is more receiving receiving tight end the Raiders had drafted Michael Mayer the year before but he's more of a blocking blocking tight end from Notre Dame yes so I think Brock Bowers is going to be that more explosive option and if they are doubling Devonte then Brock Bowers is going to be open and M they could pull out the whole Patriots strategy of the double tight end with groon and Aaron Hernandez so next I got Dallas GD uh Dallas GD is for the Eagles uh he should still do well it's just his problem is injuries honestly after Brock Bowers all this point all everybody else to me is more of like guys you can grab off the waivers you might not need two tight ends you might just need to draft a Titan as a waiver backup just in case but there's not really anything big after honestly for me it's after um Evan Ingram after that I really care less maybe can I'm literally right there with you yeah so I got k just because he has Caleb Williams and there's G to be more options ston Schultz for the Texans I really don't like firemouth because he did so bad last year but he's still an option Conlin for the Jets I like TM Hill as a flex just because he can pass the ball catch the ball run the ball he's a little bit of everything um a lot of points coming in this is your guys's tight in I can't even pronounce his name AA just say there you go and then I got Noah Fant for Seattle and and Hunter Henry from New England just cuz they literally had nobody else but um I feel like your list is very similar um as far as concerned uh really I would probably go Loro over Kelce but I mean it's Travis Kelce at the end of the day now the Chiefs have a little bit more weapons so that should open him up a little bit more should and Kelsea you know I watch uh with the boys podcast uh they had Kelsey on there busting with the boys if you don't know you should watch it it gives you a lot of insight on the behind the scenes of the NFL and a lot of good stories that they talk about as far as like even with the Titans and then also because it's h hosted by Will Compton who was like the second string middle linebacker for the Titans and then Taylor lean obviously one of the best left tackles until he got botch surgery but um they uh they have interviews with a bunch of NFL players they even go to training camps they have interviews um so they're actually becoming something but uh they talked with uh Kelsey and Kelsey told them because they asked about the extension because of how old he's getting and stuff like that and he was like Hey I wouldn't have agreed to the uh extension if I didn't feel like I was still going to play and play at a high level so he's going to keep that going um you don't need the money if he marries Taylor Swift I know right but the NFL probably doesn't want him to leave because of Taylor Swift so that's true now we're now we're getting into conspiracy theories I'm a big conspiracy theory guy but but let's not do that anyways let's not go down the rabbit hole no no no no no no no uh Mark Andrews to me is good and good uh trade bait is what he is he's good to pick up and when people start Midway through the season their tight ends start doing nothing you trade mark Andrew that's exactly what he is he is trade bit you just pick him up and you trade him somewhere and get something that you're lacking or need throughout the season so that's why I like Mark Andrews um Dalton concade I like him he should he to me should be the guy in Buffalo now in my opinion so that's why I kind of have him higher is I just think he's going to be the guy he's the only guy that Allen really has good good chemistry with you could say you know Gabe Davis but Gabe Davis super inconsistent um I think Gabe Davis is gone oh yeah you know what I think he went to the Colts did he go to the Colts no I think he went to the Jacksonville Jaguars yeah okay well then yeah con kade's pretty much gonna be the guy um KD I had him last year and I always fall into that trap of getting KD and I'll probably do it again this year uh but I I do like him to me he's he finished number two last year he finished number two so I'm telling you it didn't feel like it uh 1.93 n 0.9 0.1 yeah yeah the zero yeah yeah the zeros were hurting um Trey McBride I like the dude but super inconsistent uh Evan Ingram is probably one of my more favorites uh I always for some reason end up with him somehow through by the season uh by the end of it uh Brock Bowers is actually one that I'm going to probably try a little bit harder to focus on than most of my random little picks and I'll see if I can end up snagging him but I don't know if I will or not but I just don't know his value so that's what kind of makes me a little weird about when I want to pick him up but I'll probably try and pick him up through the draft because I think he will be good um nooku I don't like him but when you look at his stats his stats are kind of there so probably end up he's he's a solid one if the top ones are gone injured yeah g gets injured a lot so there's big upside but big down inside there and then those are pretty much it man a lot of the guys you're going to end up getting off wires probably for me about yeah probably about the same as you these dudes are gonna end up getting off wire the waiver wire and I think everything I think for me it's everything that's yeah you basically grab your tight end and then after that it's just like you're kind of just sticking with him unless there's a better matchup and then you're going to kind of go um and but you know what for me I when when I do drafts I like to mess with people's heads you know I like to start the Panic so normally when somebody picks up a tight end everybody starts to panic oh God I need to get a tight end and then you see tight ends start going right so once people like I feel like people are like people I'm drafting against end up getting in like a flow so to speak like their plans coming together you could see their consistency I like to pick up a TI end I like to start picking up kickers watch people panic when you pick up a kicker and then everybody starts realizing oh crap kickers are a part of the game and then you start picking up a defense you watch people panic again it's kind of funny tight ends are kind of that um so I would you know you have a no draft tight end strategy but yeah I like I like to pick them up and watch people panic kind of throw them off a little bit the rest is kind of viewing pleasure at your point right yeah so I'm not uh for kickers and defenses I'm Not Really Gonna name I'm just gonna name five for each because like they're all matchup base um as far as defense is concerned I think it's just Browns Cowboys Jet and this is no order Browns Cowboys Jets Ravens uh Niners and maybe Steelers could be added to that those are the best defenses in the league and after that you know it's kind of a crapshoot kickers it's going to be bucker Aubrey Tucker Elliot and Zarin and maybe farbor with the uh Texans um yeah but besides that like and that's L straight from ESP end that's just what I'm saying because I agree that's it's not really a yeah there's no argument to be made about those because um honestly I would rather not even half kickers and just do like a super Flex or a flex um they don't really add a l sometimes uh for me how I do mine is I draft I actually do Waiver Wires for defenses I play week by week I pick up a defense that's gonna go against a crappy team this week I pick them up and then next week I end up dropping them and pick up another defense that's going against a crappy team I do that every single week so my Waiver Wires are normally pretty big I love the waiver wire right so um so now we kind of gone through that I just kind of wanted to briefly talk about different strategies and this is more for people um who are maybe newer um you know obviously there's people that have more experience than us just based on age and how long it's been around some of the common ones uh just very briefly is the two running the two hero running back strategy or the hero running back which is where you grab your two running backs in the first two rounds I don't know how good it'll be this year just considering how much talent is available at receiver um however like you say you went Christian mcaffrey and uh I don't even know who would be on the list like um zoom up here real quick you went Christian mcaffrey and you went like Kamar or something right and then at that point you wouldn't grab a running back till like round seven um you can also go double receiver there's some people I like to so like I don't like to go into a draft with a per strategy um because it all depends on who's available at what time and I think that's what will make you successful is not always grabbing the top player that they suggest because I don't think that's well because if you autodraft you're not always going to win I would say you're probably most likely won't um because they will draft hurt players if people who are on holdouts but if I have the second pick and I see that Christian m got grabbed I'm probably going to go Tyreek crusi but if I have the seventh pick and Christian's gone Bree is gone and I go to receivers and um CD Tyreek and jamar's gone and then you know somebody else that' be like okay well what's the best available and at that point you would I would even go in and look to see what how many points were scored total as far as like what they're expecting and for me that's kind of where I would be like okay where am I going to get the most point value at in this position is it going to be a monra or is it going to be K Williams and I'm going to probably spoil it for you it's probably going to be am monra so that point I would go receiver um and then after that I'd probably go running back or just kind of depends so I think when you go into a draft like earlier we kind of alluded like I like to go no tight end and that's always what I would do but if I can get Travis KY in like the third round like I'd probably do it yeah not gonna do it for the first or second round not this year um because he's not in his prime no more but um typically where I've where I felt like I've won the most leagues is when I've gone no tight end because once those top five six guys are gone I don't need to go into a tight end CR uh craze and I can just grab someone off waivers I got Le Porter last year off of waivers um I got Trey McBride off of waivers like there's a lot of these guys and a lot of guys who are going to come up and value based on injuries so you know you just never know um and then one thing one thing that I do is I like to play the Mind Games so normally you'll feel it out throughout your draft if everybody's going receiver you go running back right majority of the time everybody's going to be like oh crap so then they start going running back and then you switch back to receiver then everybody's like oh man and then you start to see chaotic things happening people start losing their minds people start ditching their strategies of what they're going to do things like that so essentially the the word and phrase that I saw and that I agree with is Zig when they zag you know what I mean so if everybody's going wide receiver then guess what you're GNA have your pick at the top running back so pick up the top running back then everybody sees that then they're going to ditch their wide receivers and start going into running backs or going into whatever else and some people honestly they have their strategy and they stick to it and they do not break it and that's totally fine but I would say just peel out your draft and you'll kind of figure it out as you go I I'm not really 100% a believer in like these strategies I think 100% like about 50% of fantasy football is just luck of your dudes not getting in it's all Lu it's all luck yeah of your dudes being a part of the game plan I mean it's just one of those things and now the NFL seems to be a big thing of off the field issues right so uh you know the one thing that I would just suggest and the one thing that I do is just just mess with people just mess with people that's why I like doing uh I like doing live drafts where everybody gets together because then you can start you can start talking to people getting them to mess up you know the guy you're sitting next to you look and you're just like wow con kad's open that's pretty crazy huh and then you just watch the Gear start turning dude they like what do you me yeah I mean I think live I think next year for sure we'll do live um obviously I have I think I have some circumstances that we've talked about privately that I can't do it this year um but for sure I think that'd be fun to do or even start a league maybe you know doing it live for some of the boys that are local out here yeah um but for for the newbies so I think I kind of want to speak so some of the experienced players already know a lot of the stuff and they actually make their own list just like we do and you know all this is subjective because you don't really know you know seems he can get hurt the first day be Jean Bree Aaron Rogers Josh Allen so really like ex said it's luck and it's uh who which team is healthier at the end of the season and if my best advice that I can give anybody is always look at the waiver and no matter what if you're not picking up from the waiver or if you're not doing five minutes a day um that's what I call it you're five minutes on the toilet or five minutes wherever is that you do your your stuff spend five minutes a day doing a little research prepping your lineup and you should be able to be at least over 500 um the people who are not checking their lineups and are not grabbing off the waivers they will not finish above 500 unless they're extremely lucky um yeah so those are some some of the uh strategies I don't know if I'm going to post this so we have a website it's www.in filter.com um if people want I could post these uh rankings directly to the website um or I can just maybe try to figure out a way to uh put like time stamps so they can see um like mine in your lists um or I might be able to even just screenshot it and post it on the on the website like that yeah always check your references Walter pix is a great and they're not a sponsor but they are a great resource as far as like being able to import your league and to figure out like who's best available it's going to cost you a little bit but they they do help a lot and if I'm going to be fully transparent I use that for our draft last year and I won but mind you their picks is not what made me win it was my waiver wire pickups that and I a lot of luck because good teams got hurc yeah I had I bet you picked up Jefferson Justin Jefferson he picked up Justin Jefferson I was like are you dumb like I told him to grab CMC too I go you need to grab CMC he's like no I want Jefferson I was like all right well all right I was GNA grab Chase instead of Jefferson I hope he does it again this year me too but um yeah please feel free to comment shoot the [ __ ] let us know uh if you disagree agree like I mean this is all subjective and it's all for fun um we're just here to provide you a little bit of um our opinions based on team compositions last year stats consistency like I said Josh Allen might be have a little rough a Go Just For Me based on his last five years he's finished in the top two every year so it's kind of hard for me to not put him there um but hey you never know we'll see what happens um starting uh I will give you the exact date of when we will be filming starting September 4th um we will be releasing episodes for Thursday morning every week uh for hopefully the rest of the football season um barring any kind of family emergencies or things that we have going on privately all the way up to the Super Bowl what's that oh I just said life life's crazy yeah life and uh last year we started like halfway through the season Bon I uh and he will be back um he's just trying to figure out some stuff with school but um X is probably going to be a main stay as well even if bevel's on here like I think it's fun to have more uh more people on here to kind of uh put things in perspective and different perspectives and you know even though I might not always agree with X I respect his opinion um no but I think this says it all and uh I'm just shoot [ __ ] just cheat code Brother that's all it was I I honestly expect to win this again this year so um that'd be crazy it's got to be a fun season as as somebody told me this NFL season this whole season is the season of hype that's what this season is it's it's a hype season man every team is different every team has stars it's it's G to be a fun NFL season I think yeah so I'm really looking forward to it and like I said if you guys want us to post this somewhere just please let us know in the comments um or DM us directly um I could probably for sure it's going to be on YouTube and Spotify and apple but I could probably put it on our website it it just be a little easier to kind of follow and check the list so that way you can screenshot it for yourselves um but until next time x thanks for coming on and uh see you all next week later all right later
