1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,440
All right, today on ship chasing
no roasts, although who knows, 

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,440
maybe we'll find someone to 
roast by the end of the show. 

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:13,080
Now we are going to start to 
pivot our mindset a little from 

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,160
basketball brain to redraft 
manage leagues. 

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,200
If you guys are like us, we are 
starting to set our eyes on some

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,480
of our high stakes leagues. 
Obviously these involve waivers 

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,800
and trades in an entirely 
different set of ways to think 

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,280
about winning. 
So we're going to kind of 

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,960
discuss through some of those. 
Also, we'll compare some of the 

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,840
the underdog ADP to some of the 
high stakes ADP as well and see 

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,000
where things might be varying 
because of those format 

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,960
differences. 
So this is ship chasing with 

13
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,720
Pete, Ben and Pat. 
Let's do it. 

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,960
Pat Fryer, Helmo. 
This is why. 

15
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,960
This is why I'm hot. 
Anita Handjob. 

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:51,680
Fix your sight. 
Jamar. 

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,720
Alpha play, chase are. 
You kidding me? 

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,120
You. 
Can't handle the heat. 

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,840
It looks like we're finding this
voice. 

20
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:08,640
You're right. 
Oh, what am I doing? 

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,480
Where are we at here? 
I got to get Pat on stage. 

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,440
Does this do it? 
Is that there he. 

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,440
Is always shows up right before 
the intro. 

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,800
It's pretty good, right? 
It's a good trip. 

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,000
It's. 
A good trip. 

26
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,960
Yeah, slightly earlier start 
time. 

27
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:27,680
I got AI got a 18 month checkup 
appointment for April here later

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,840
this afternoon. 
So I appreciate everyone 

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,560
accommodating me. 
We also just need to do a little

30
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,960
postmortem on last week's roast 
show that ended up being a a 

31
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:39,760
mega hit. 
Sparked a beef. 

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,560
It's sparked a beef that 
trickled over to Twitter Post 

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,080
Twitter videos back and forth on
ADP Chase. 

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,000
They got swellcast pretty. 
Incredible. 

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,720
I love that we literally pulled 
up a picture of Davis's stream, 

36
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,640
roasted it, and that wasn't the 
beef that was started beef. 

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,840
Beef was actually between 
Kitchen and JJ. 

38
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,880
Incredible stuff. 
We might have to. 

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,480
I mean, our schedule's going to 
obviously get pretty busy here 

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,560
with all of our, our draft 
streams and stuff, but man, we 

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,120
might have to make time for one 
more. 

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,600
Maybe we could do like a, a late
night or like a an after party 

43
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,400
after one of the draft streams. 
It it roasts some teams at some.

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,760
That would be that would be very
good. 

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,960
That would be very good. 
Steph is Steph is the only 

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,720
person in the world who gets 
excited for waivers. 

47
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,160
Yeah, we last year, for people 
who don't know, we, we tapped 

48
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,040
Stephanie to be point guard on 
all of our waivers across all of

49
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,280
our leagues. 
It made not only the teams 

50
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,520
better, it made our lives 
better. 

51
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,400
It improved our relationships, 
our morale, our relationships 

52
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,360
with God. 
It basically just had an entire 

53
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,440
what, 80? 
It has been elevating 

54
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,360
everything. 
We talk about a rising tide. 

55
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,400
Yeah, definitely. 
It's the rising tide. 

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,920
So Steph, hopefully you're 
you're going nowhere this year 

57
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:02,920
because otherwise, no more, no 
more redraft leagues. 

58
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,200
Never going back. 
But yeah, I thought it would be 

59
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,480
fun to kind of talk through both
like specific players and ADP 

60
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,920
stuff, but also kind of macro 
things because it is really hard

61
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,720
to turn off your basketball 
brain. 

62
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,800
Like even Gretch, I've been 
listening to your guys's great 

63
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,720
projection pod with Leonie and 
seeing year over year how much 

64
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,480
like best ball stuff then even 
leads into that. 

65
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,200
And it's like, not even, it's 
not bad. 

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,080
It's just like it's almost, it's
so omnipresent and how we talk 

67
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,280
about fantasy football now that 
it it is kind of hard to to 

68
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,400
switch it up. 
Well, I mean, we talked about 

69
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,360
last season how it was sort of 
burying dynasty, dynasty. 

70
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,440
And I think it definitely did 
bury dynasty for like the the 

71
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,400
key way we talked about fantasy 
in the offseason like 5-10 years

72
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,320
ago. 
That was there was best ball 

73
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,200
back then, but it was still 
like, you know, dynasty and all 

74
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,320
that. 
But we spend most of the 

75
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,560
offseason structuring the way 
that we talk about fantasy 

76
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,240
football as a hobby around best 
ball. 

77
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,080
Like the a lot of time, right? 
It's not the Pat just took 

78
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,360
himself off the street. 
He's like nodding along and then

79
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,600
he's gone. 
But yeah, I mean, like, there's 

80
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,280
a lot of time and a lot of 
conversations baked around that 

81
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,160
exact topic. 
So I mean. 

82
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,280
Yeah, I, yeah, I've just 
finished and filed a piece for 

83
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,920
for Fantasy Life. 
And even like even the 

84
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,000
differences between what we're 
going to mainly be focused on 

85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,640
with like high stakes ADP, you 
know, over on FPC is really 

86
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,240
different from the ESPN and 
Yahoo ADP's. 

87
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,160
Obviously you got the tight end 
premium difference, but like, 

88
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,960
you know, over on, you know, FPC
like the rookies are going to 

89
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,240
be, yeah, slightly less than 
they are on underdog, but still 

90
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,000
like, you know, decently valued.
Whereas on ESPN they're just 

91
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,480
like complete afterthoughts. 
Like Elite Neighbors is going in

92
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,960
like the sixth or seventh round 
of of ESPN drafts right now. 

93
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,200
So even that like is something 
you have to consider if people 

94
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,880
are gearing up for home leagues 
with buddies. 

95
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,200
Yeah, the environments are very 
different. 

96
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,120
And then as underdog moves more 
and more towards receiver, you 

97
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,840
know that is only going to get 
more and more different because 

98
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,840
I, I don't expect that a lot of 
these other formats and a lot of

99
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:18,640
these other platforms will move 
in that direction as 

100
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,040
aggressively. 
So they're just like, you know, 

101
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,480
with the pockets of the draft 
and you know which players you 

102
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,040
have to prioritize when starts 
to get more and more different. 

103
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,800
Let it you know that's putting 
aside the the differences that 

104
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,680
you want to be thinking about 
because of the format. 

105
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:40,240
So what are what are the things 
like top of your mind right now?

106
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,480
I feel like the one thing that 
always, and I think is the 

107
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,040
trickiest for us is we know with
the redraft stuff we want to 

108
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,720
take the biggest possible 
swings, like specifically at the

109
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,120
onesies as well because we know 
the safety net is there for the 

110
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,920
waiver wire. 
The difference between like 

111
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,120
what's going to be the Titan 12 
and the guy we get on the 

112
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,000
waivers isn't going to be that 
great, but if we hit on Sam 

113
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,680
Laporta, that's going to 
supercharge our teams. 

114
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,200
I think the thing we always have
to balance is we sometimes we go

115
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,320
so many rookies because they are
often the best pick in every 

116
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,480
round. 
But then that can lead to 

117
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,040
sputtering starts and like 
balancing that dynamic of 

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,440
wanting to swing for the fences 
but knowing like, yeah, we are 

119
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,680
going to need sub early season 
production as well. 

120
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,480
That's definitely part of it. 
I think, you know, thinking 

121
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,120
through like the best ball 
profile, you know, to some 

122
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,320
extent kind of, you know, 
prioritizing like in a weird 

123
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,960
way, you know, we've talked 
about better than best ball type

124
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,360
of stuff, but in a weird way, 
like it's those kind of more 

125
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,280
steady profiles, especially at 
running back that I'm more 

126
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:48,280
interested in in best ball and 
are also cheaper on underdog 

127
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:53,160
than they will be on FFPC. 
So like, I don't know, like, you

128
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,880
know, Alan Kamara, I don't like 
taking even on underdog, but 

129
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,920
like if he falls and I need a 
running back and I'm like he's 

130
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,640
going to help Phil Weeks. 
Sure, but I just pulled up the 

131
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,280
on fantasy mojo. 
I pulled up the the Fantasy Pros

132
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,680
Championship. 
ADP Kamara's going the pick 52 

133
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,400
like. 
Yeah, middle of the fifth round.

134
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,680
Just absolutely not like I and 
you know, I don't care about 

135
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,440
like filling weeks at running 
back in redraft where is like 

136
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,840
there is some value to filling 
weeks in baseball. 

137
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,360
You don't you don't get the wave
wire. 

138
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,720
You you don't get to, you know, 
change your team in any way. 

139
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,880
So just having a dude on there 
is going to play a lot of weeks.

140
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,960
You know, like I don't I think 
still think it's a terrible 

141
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,920
pick, but Fareed had Alexander 
Madison on his on his winning 

142
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,640
roster. 
Like you can get away with kind 

143
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,120
of these these weak filling 
running back selections in best 

144
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,440
ball in a way. 
I think you really really want 

145
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,360
to avoid drafting like that in 
managed, and they tend to be 

146
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,520
more expensive in managed, so 
that makes it easier to avoid 

147
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,280
them. 
Yeah, when you brought up this 

148
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,400
topic, Pete, I mean, I was like,
I'm I'm just going to be playing

149
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,000
the hits with anything that I 
talk about on this episode, like

150
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,160
Pat just said, like it's running
back dead zone. 

151
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,680
It's all that stuff. 
But we get the dead zone back 

152
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,440
then. 
Dead zone is very much back. 

153
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,800
I don't want to draft any dead 
zone backs in in managed. 

154
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,480
I think for all the reasons you 
just said, you can make 

155
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,120
exceptions in basketball, but 
it's still difficult to take 

156
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,440
those picks in basketball. 
When we just did our our show a 

157
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,440
couple weeks ago about the 
players that were afraid of not 

158
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,440
having a lot of exposure to, we 
all picked running backs from 

159
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,720
that range, right? 
Like or at least one. 

160
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,360
We were like, there's some guys 
here that we can't really get to

161
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,480
structurally, but I think you 
can you can justify some of 

162
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,360
those picks in basketball for 
the reasons you said. 

163
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,640
You can't replace the running 
backs on the waiver wire. 

164
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,120
You can't do the Frankenstein 
running back thing as easily 

165
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,680
throughout the season. 
You can't have that revolving 

166
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:49,920
door you your roster stuck. 
And so the small win type 

167
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,880
running back is way better in 
best ball. 

168
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,000
It is way more viable the 
whatever it is. 

169
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,280
Like I think Isaiah Pacheco's 
probably a small win at best or 

170
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,040
Josh Jacobs. 
I mean, you said Alvin Camara, 

171
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,440
any of those guys, but I'd go 
even to higher profile guys in 

172
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,880
Camara as examples where that 
type of production maybe not 

173
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,400
super replaceable. 
Yeah, I still think it's 

174
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,920
probably replaceable in 
basketball this year. 

175
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,400
But in managed like it's so much
more replaceable like because 

176
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,120
you you can actually play the 
wafer wire. 

177
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,880
And the argument I made in a 
recent write up that we talked 

178
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,280
about a little last week and 
then and Sean and I on Sin 

179
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,120
Bananas did a big breakdown of 
the of the dead zone this week 

180
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,720
in a couple different episodes. 
The argument that I've made in a

181
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,640
couple of those places is it's 
the same idea of, you know, 

182
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,480
because there aren't as many of 
Mexico going high. 

183
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,840
It's pushing down the value for 
the zero RB types. 

184
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,440
But that there are so many 
offenses where we're not even 

185
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:44,360
like they're going to have 
running back points where we're 

186
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,480
not even drafting the art, the 
first running back until the 

187
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,440
double digit rounds. 
And there's some good ones. 

188
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,960
The Denver backfield, the 
Chargers backfield, the Cowboys 

189
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,720
are a really good fast-paced 
offense that are going to score 

190
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,960
touchdowns. 
Their backfield, the Browns 

191
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,560
backfield, because of Nick 
Chubb, there's definitely going 

192
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:02,520
to be running back points from 
the double digit round. 

193
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,280
So when you think about how 
you're going to be able to 

194
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,480
replace this stuff in a managed 
league, when you're able to 

195
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,280
actually see what happens with 
Nick Chubb, see what happens 

196
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,000
with Zeke and Dowdle and that 
stuff, maybe you want to take 

197
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,040
shots on those types of players 
because you can cut them. 

198
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,680
Like I would actually be more 
open to taking a Zeke in a in a 

199
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:19,200
managed league. 
Like I don't know, maybe he 

200
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,600
looks spry in the first couple 
of weeks. 

201
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,840
Probably not, but you can at 
least cut him if. 

202
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,480
I'm less interested in taking 
Zeke 'cause I 'cause I'm just 

203
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,320
like, I don't know, he's gonna 
catch like 6 passes one week and

204
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,120
it'll hit my line up and I don't
have to think about it. 

205
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,240
But. 
To Ben's point, if you got the 

206
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,920
Zeke on the paths down the 
stretch last year to open up the

207
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,800
season on a really true zero RB 
squad for you would just be 

208
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,080
doing. 
What if he hits A20 touch 

209
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,800
outcome this year? 
There's there's scenarios where 

210
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,120
it's him or Dowdell is like a 20
touch back or at. 

211
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,920
Least see, I'm, I'm way well, 
I'm already very interested in 

212
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,760
Dowdell, but like, so what's 
interesting is Zeke on this in 

213
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,840
this ADP, he's at 10-9, which is
a little bit above Dowdell's at 

214
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:02,040
12 three, which I think is 
pretty close, or at least that's

215
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,680
kind of like where I take it. 
So maybe it's a little ahead, 

216
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:08,640
but but you're getting, I think 
you get the, sometimes the 

217
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:13,640
upside doesn't get priced up as 
much as the projected touches. 

218
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,120
And so which I love because then
you can, you can take bigger 

219
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,880
cracks on the upside, which is 
what you want. 

220
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,760
So the thing you want more in 
the format is sometimes cheaper 

221
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,760
than the thing you don't. 
Like Zeke was a really bad 

222
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,320
point. 
The point was the backfields 

223
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,920
that don't have any running 
backs that are going high and 

224
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,600
that are going to have points in
the backfield. 

225
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,600
The the running back scoring pie
for Dallas is going to be large.

226
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,720
It's. 
Going to be large, Yeah, I 

227
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,720
agree. 
And we don't know. 

228
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,800
I mean, it might not be the 
highest in the in the overall 

229
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,120
league. 
I think the Broncos might be up 

230
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,040
there, the Browns and the 
Chargers might be up there. 

231
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,720
So those are better examples. 
Commodified is a better example 

232
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,160
for this point. 
Like if you hit on that he. 

233
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,920
Could be the starter, yeah, he 
could be the star. 

234
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,320
You know, really good one. 
Yeah, and if he's Rashad Penny, 

235
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,960
he's gone. 
So. 

236
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,600
We we know this from years of 
doing the so like Fidel, right 

237
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,080
Fidel goes in the one 50s on 
underdog. 

238
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:07,680
He's at 139 here JK Dobbins goes
one pick behind him. 

239
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,360
He goes very you know, I think 
he's in like one 70s on 

240
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,560
underdog. 
So let. 

241
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,520
Me pull this up, yeah. 
Yeah. 

242
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,720
I had the grid from rotavist 
here. 

243
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,520
One thing we know from doing 
these drafts over the years is 

244
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,920
that they're more running back 
heavy in terms of when the 

245
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,840
running backs go early, but 
they're also more running back 

246
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,480
heavy in terms of how many 
running backs people take. 

247
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,040
So you can't just like sit back 
in the pocket and wait for 

248
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,640
running backs to be there for 
you in round 891011 and 12. 

249
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,600
Like if you just want to like 
hit running back real hard in 

250
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,880
that pocket, they will be there 
for you in eight and nine and 

251
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,200
maybe 10. 
And then it's like potentially 

252
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,280
over or you're already moving to
like a different type of bet. 

253
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:54,600
When you look at this visual, 
the sixth round, Aaron Jones, 

254
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,240
Amir White and James Conner are 
all going ahead of Keenan Allen.

255
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:03,480
Like that's very different. 
The the other thing going back 

256
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:10,320
to Ben's point about like small 
wins is so small wins are are 

257
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,320
the opposite outcome for players
who are either small wins or 

258
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,560
small losses. 
And small losses in redraft 

259
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,760
often fall into the bucket of 
roster cloggers or paths. 

260
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,720
Call them the silent killer. 
That's actually the most 

261
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,120
terrifying thing, and it's why 
like zero RB and redraft, it's 

262
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,080
kind of nice because a lot of 
times your team is so starved 

263
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,320
for production that a small loss
can still serve its utility for 

264
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,680
you at running back where you're
like, I'll take those 7 1/2 

265
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:39,760
points from Naheem Heinz on this
team where I'm loaded everywhere

266
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,840
else. 
But if you have that balance 

267
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,960
roster with a bunch of small 
wins, small losses like they're 

268
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,440
not good enough to start, but 
they're not bad enough to cut. 

269
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,640
And then you're just in this 
like paralyzed like cycle of not

270
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,720
being able to chase the good 
stuff on the waiver wire because

271
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,160
you know you have 0 certainties 
at any positions in your roster.

272
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,080
And I, I think that's also an 
argument for someone in the chat

273
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,520
mentioned elite onesies is 
another part of this of the like

274
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,440
dead zone conversation in 
managed. 

275
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,320
It's, it's harder to replace 
elite onesies that hit. 

276
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,720
And you know, like, I understand
the best ball argument of like, 

277
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,080
oh, I can take 3 quarterbacks 
and I can all the spike weeks 

278
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,680
hit my lineup and I can create a
facsimile of, of an elite 

279
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,280
quarterbacks production. 
Or if I, if I really get lucky 

280
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,920
and, and you know, people think 
you can do that at tight end as 

281
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,040
well. 
I think it's harder at tight end

282
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,920
personally, but the fact that 
you can just plug in Jalen Hurts

283
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,920
every single game is matters 
more in, in managed and, and 

284
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,240
certainly I think the it's true 
for the elite tight ends as 

285
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,760
well. 
And so then you get back to 

286
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,880
thinking about like, well, what 
can I do through the 1st 7 

287
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,560
rounds of a draft? 
Like if I'm taking a detour, I 

288
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,680
mean, I'm I'm still willing to 
take the elite legendary upside 

289
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,440
type running backs in the first 
two rounds, right, But you. 

290
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,720
Got to pay up one Yashan's going
one O 3. 

291
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,720
It's crazy, but if I'm if I'm 
taking a detour in 345, like 

292
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,280
it's not going to be Rashad 
White in round four guys like I 

293
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,680
just I can't, I mean, if if it's
not a receiver because I hate 

294
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,080
the pocket, I'm not taking 
Rashad White over Stefan Diggs, 

295
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,400
which we're looking at here, but
if I'm. 

296
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,280
If I'm if. 
I'm not taking a receiver for 

297
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,080
whatever reason. 
Then I'd rather the detour was 

298
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,320
Josh Allen, QB won or you know, 
if it's a little bit earlier, 

299
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,320
one of those tight ends or you 
know, George Kittle or or 

300
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,720
whatever, if you're in the 
fourth round. 

301
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,640
But like once you get 456 like I
don't know how you can ever 

302
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,000
justify those running back pits.
And and that's why I like 

303
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,200
looking at this board here, 
audio listeners, apologies, but 

304
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,960
on the on the video, we have the
draft grid. 

305
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,080
This is all it's pulling in main
event and football guys drafts 

306
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,920
ADP. 
So a good kind of representation

307
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,600
of the landscape. 
To me, it makes rounds two and 

308
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,160
three kind of the sweet spot to 
get one of your detours. 

309
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,760
Obviously you got the elite 
tight ends all going here. 

310
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:58,840
You also have backs like JT, 
Kyren, 8 Chan, all include Gibbs

311
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,720
there since he's at the 1-2 
turn. 

312
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,240
And then you look at the round 
four wide receivers. 

313
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,000
Those are all the round three 
wide receivers on underdog Debo,

314
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,240
neighbors, Metcalf, Devante, DJ.
So it's like. 

315
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,560
Debo is like a round two. 
Like, he's like the one, he's 

316
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:13,880
the 208, right? 
Like. 

317
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,080
So to me it is like knowing how 
that stuff works, like I, I 

318
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,320
think I'm probably going to end 
up wanting one of the tight ends

319
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,480
or an elite running back out of 
round two or three in in most of

320
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,520
these drafts. 
I hear what you're saying, but 

321
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,120
at the same time you're able to 
get, you know, a bunch of 

322
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,400
receivers. 
You know, like there's no way on

323
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,960
underdog that you could get 
Justin Jefferson, Marvin 

324
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,680
Harrison in like Jalen Waddle or
something like that, right? 

325
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,480
Or, you know, that you could get
Jamar Chase, Crystal Lavey and 

326
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,120
Nico Collins. 
True. 

327
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,280
Like, that's pretty exciting. 
But then do the that is 

328
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,360
exciting. 
But then do the 2V twos with 

329
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,000
like, because round eight, 
you're going to want to take JSN

330
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,840
and and and Xavier Worthy, 
right? 

331
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,200
Round seven you're going to want
to take Jaden Reed round, you 

332
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,480
know, round nine you're getting 
Roma. 

333
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,760
Two, but I think round seven, 
Jaden Reed versus round three, 

334
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,240
Jaylen Waddle. 
I want round 3. 

335
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,240
Jaylen Waddle. 
Yeah, well, but think, think, 

336
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,920
think about how we've been 
talking about round two and 

337
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,480
three wide receivers where it's 
like, order them however you 

338
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,960
want. 
You can make a case for Marvin 

339
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,119
Harrison there. 
You can make a case for 

340
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,520
neighbors there, blah, blah. 
And then it's like, OK, am I 

341
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,599
gonna take Marvin Harrison off 
the board here? 

342
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:28,480
I'm gonna, am I gonna grab 
McBride? 

343
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,120
Well, Kincaid. 
Yeah, Kelsey McBride, that's the

344
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:38,160
tight end I think is pretty 
enticing here where FFPC, we 

345
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,280
don't normally just see no tight
ends in the first round and then

346
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,720
kind of like, Oh yeah, I guess 
we'll grab a few in the second 

347
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,160
round. 
Like the tight end detour is is 

348
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,760
pretty exciting to me in the 
second round I do agree with. 

349
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,400
That I, I, I like your point. 
I think every path in the first 

350
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,280
couple rounds seems appealing 
because it, it does seem 

351
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,160
appealing to get an anchor 
running back when you're like, I

352
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,760
definitely don't want to be 
taking him to dead zone. 

353
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,680
Obviously the elite tight end is
appealing and I think that the 

354
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,920
the receiver point you just made
is very appealing. 

355
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,680
The question for me is then what
do you want to be doing from 4 

356
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,320
through 9? 
And like, to me, it's just like,

357
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,120
I don't want to don't be doing 
anything but drafting those 

358
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:13,120
receivers. 
Like if my question is Rashad 

359
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:16,920
White versus DJ Moore, Stefan 
Diggs, if it's Zamir White 

360
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,600
versus Keenan Allen, if it's, 
you know, Taija Spears versus 

361
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,480
Xavier Worthy at that point, 
like I want to have we get the 

362
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,800
rookies at the old rookie prices
like the Justin Jefferson rookie

363
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,880
year, Garrett Wilson rookie. 
Year stuff. 

364
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,080
I mean one of the things that I 
think. 

365
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,920
Rome's in round nine like Rome's
in. 9/1 of the things. 

366
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,400
That pick in round nine, we did.
We did this before. 

367
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,640
One of the things I think is 
happening this year is there's a

368
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,400
lot of people emphasizing that 
the dead zone hit last year and 

369
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,920
they just think the dead zone 
doesn't exist anymore and 

370
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,640
they're not paying attention to 
the years of data prior that 

371
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,320
show why the dead zone existed. 
And, and, and my main response 

372
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,520
to that, because I've gotten 
these comments on Twitter, my 

373
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,240
main response is like, well, I 
mean, I don't know what to tell 

374
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,520
you other than I was saying that
we should be drafting running 

375
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,120
backs in the dead zone. 
Last year we were saying on the 

376
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:02,120
show, we did it on all our 
bills. 

377
00:19:02,120 --> 00:19:03,760
It was really effective last 
year. 

378
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,760
And it's because of the profiles
that were in the dead zone, the 

379
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,200
hits out of the dead zone 
historically from back when I 

380
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,320
did that research initially are 
rookie second year players that 

381
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,800
the market doesn't understand 
like what they are yet from a 

382
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,080
longer view profile perspective.
We're guys like Pollard who are 

383
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,000
who are flashing a high end 
talent but they're in split back

384
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,080
fields. 
Right, He can be, but like it's 

385
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,360
guys that will be first rounders
the next year. 

386
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:28,760
Breece Hall and Jameer Gibbs 
were unique dead zone options 

387
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,080
last year. 
Travis Etienne fit that as well.

388
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,800
He's still, you know, like he's 
somewhere in between now. 

389
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,120
Anybody hit in a pretty big way?
And there were other names there

390
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:39,280
too, Javonte, James Cook, 
etcetera, that didn't 

391
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,960
necessarily hit in the same way.
That group that we had last year

392
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:45,920
was unique. 
That's not what the profiles in 

393
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,960
the dead zone this year are. 
I just want to emphasize that 

394
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,640
just because the data says that 
round 45 running backs hit last 

395
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,360
year doesn't change change the 
fact that we have a lot of dead 

396
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:57,440
zone information from prior 
years and that last year's 

397
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,400
profiles in the dead zone were 
very unique. 

398
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,080
They're not unique like that 
this year. 

399
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,960
It's very different. 
The other. 

400
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,920
Check goes a little bit. 
I'm torn up a check because he's

401
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,840
on such a good offense and he 
has no competition. 

402
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,560
He is dead Zony in certain ways,
but what's your thought? 

403
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,960
I think he's I. 
Think he's actually pretty dead 

404
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,800
Zony because it truly is. 
Rookies are second year guys and

405
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,680
if we the idea is we don't know 
how good the player is yet. 

406
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,440
We've got two year sample from 
Pacheco and I think the market 

407
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,360
knows how good he is and the 
market saying the situation's 

408
00:20:25,360 --> 00:20:28,000
fantastic and we're going to 
draft him high because of 

409
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,520
guaranteed volume and no backup 
and all these things. 

410
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,280
But we don't trust him enough to
push him into the 2nd or the 

411
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,280
1st. 
That's when you get the market 

412
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,400
telling you that we actually 
think this player adds 

413
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,040
efficiency to a situation and 
he's a superstar. 

414
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,600
The market is telling you when 
they leave him in, in round 

415
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,800
three and this and in round four
and five and the other stuff, 

416
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,880
they don't think he adds to his 
situation and we have a big 

417
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,480
enough sample after two years. 
He would surprise me. 

418
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,800
He could be like the Josh Jacobs
where the efficiency takes 

419
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,560
another step up. 
But his efficiency has been good

420
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,040
by the way as well. 
But I think that's largely 

421
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,720
because of how. 
It's been good, not amazing. 

422
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,760
Yeah, yeah. 
The thing I would say too, and I

423
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,040
I agree, you can certainly make 
the case for just hammering wide

424
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,320
receiver, but like I know kind 
of the path that puts us down 

425
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,480
and it's a fun path. 
It involves a ton of Brock 

426
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,880
Bowers, it involves a ton of 
Jane Daniels. 

427
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,440
It involves a ton of 0 RB teams.
But I do who want to have like 

428
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,840
some of those two V twos, like 
looking at this board here, 

429
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,320
like, yes, can you have Nico 
Collins and Brock Bowers? 

430
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,520
Like, yeah, that sounds very 
fun. 

431
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,880
But I also want to have a Mark 
Andrews, Keenan Allen, you know,

432
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,480
like I want to flip those in in 
play some of those pockets. 

433
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,120
And it's just like after round 
two and three and we we're going

434
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:35,160
to want to have some George 
Kittle too, like this price 

435
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,000
looks exploitable here in the 
fifth round relative to some of 

436
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
these other guys. 
I mean going well after Evan 

437
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,920
Ingram. 
So I think we just want to play 

438
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,520
around with it a bit because 
there's so many fun ways to 

439
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,120
attack. 
This The chat's asking what 

440
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:47,600
board is this? 
I guess I'm not entirely sure. 

441
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,200
I know it's FFPC. 
Is it the fantasy pros or the 

442
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,520
early main events? 
I have it on fantasy pros and 

443
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,040
main event for this is on 
Rotaviz. 

444
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,400
They have a draft grid here and 
just an easy way to kind of 

445
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,000
display this. 
So this is manage leagues on 

446
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,560
FFPC 2 running back, 2 receiver,
two flex, tight end, premium and

447
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,600
the running backs are getting 
pushed up. 

448
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,080
Even with the premium tight 
ends. 

449
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,920
The running backs are getting 
pushed up because the tight ends

450
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,720
are getting pushed up too. 
I mean, Jake Ferguson's a fifth 

451
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:18,560
round pick in this format, yeah.
The I mean, so the running 

452
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,680
backs, you know, obviously I 
like Jalen Warren a lot. 

453
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,640
Jonathan Brooks I like a lot. 
They're not that much more 

454
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,320
expensive than they are on 
underdog. 

455
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,880
Whereas a lot of the guy, you 
know, a lot of the pocket there 

456
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,280
is priced up significantly. 
Like Samir White is in the 6th, 

457
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,000
James Conner in the 6th, Aaron 
Jones in the 6th through Madre 

458
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,720
Stevenson starts the 6th. 
So we said Camaros in the 5th, 

459
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,680
but like there are a few running
backs in that kind of sweet spot

460
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,480
here that I, that I think are 
very strong targets. 

461
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,440
Javonte's still going pretty 
late in the 9th. 

462
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,640
That's that's pretty nice. 
So I think you probably do want 

463
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,680
to hit running back a couple 
times. 

464
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,000
You want to be more selective, 
but hit it a couple times. 

465
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,360
I still like Brian Robinson in 
the in the 8th, 9th, you know, 

466
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:13,640
in this format. 
I actually think there's more 

467
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,200
upside there. 
Anytime you can take Brian 

468
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,800
Robinson over the guy who one 
pick ahead of the guy who broke 

469
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,280
the combine 40 record and plays 
with Patrick Mahomes and they 

470
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,080
traded up in the first round to 
draft him, I mean, I well. 

471
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,720
That's that's not, that's not 
something I would argue for, but

472
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,880
but I do, I do think like 
there's there's some guys here 

473
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,760
with profiles that I'm like, 
this feels pretty good for the 

474
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,640
price. 
But yeah, it's just going to be 

475
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,400
like the opportunity cost at 
wide receiver just is going to 

476
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:44,400
feel harder, you know, more more
costly in like every round is 

477
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,240
really because they're just not 
priced up as high. 

478
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,280
Yeah, yeah. 
And I think and that's what 

479
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,440
that's what's going to be really
hard. 

480
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:57,120
Like like round eight does seem 
like really hard. 

481
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:00,000
I mean, this is such a sick spot
for these running backs. 

482
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,520
You got Jalen Warren, Zach Moss,
Tony Pollard, Tajae Spears, 

483
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,920
Brian Robinson. 
You have Xavier Worthy, JSN, 

484
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,400
Jordan Addison and then you do I
we probably will not necessarily

485
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,800
being on the tight ends in this 
range, but that is like you're 

486
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,280
going to feel the push pull of 
like, man, I really like these 

487
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,200
wide receivers. 
Same with the 9th Rome, Brian 

488
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,720
Thomas, but then you're looking 
at Trey Benson, Blake Corum, 

489
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,000
Javonte. 
Like I, I feel like those are 

490
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,080
going to be the ones that put us
in a blender where you're like, 

491
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:25,920
I wish we had three picks in 
this well. 

492
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,840
You know, I have thought about 
this on underdog where I'm 

493
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,640
drafting a lot of teams that and
and Jacob Sanderson had a really

494
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,400
good article a couple days ago 
where he was kind of making the 

495
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,960
devil's advocate case that maybe
we are overvaluing wide 

496
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,360
receiver, even though he doesn't
really fully believe that. 

497
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:43,240
But like what if we are? 
How should we play it? 

498
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,040
And kind of making the case for 
like more builds. 

499
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:49,880
At least the way I my take away 
from it was like, I've probably 

500
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,040
not doing enough builds that are
like just kind of classic 0 

501
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,920
running back builds, but where I
just like hit running back as 

502
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,960
hard as I would have as I didn't
love the profiles and play to 

503
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,280
have running back more in the 
flex. 

504
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,880
So, you know, I've got like 5 
running backs frowned like, you 

505
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:15,960
know, 7 to 11 or whatever. 
And that though, that idea has 

506
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,200
made me feel like, God, I end 
up, if I do that, I end up with 

507
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,440
a lot of profiles that aren't 
kind of traditional 0 running 

508
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,040
back profiles. 
They're very like touch based 

509
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,480
profiles, almost dead zone. 
They're, they're dead zone, 

510
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,480
they're cheap. 
They're, they're cheap dead zone

511
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,400
backs. 
It wouldn't wouldn't it be more 

512
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,680
fun just because the way I like 
to do things, wouldn't it 

513
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,680
wouldn't I have more fun going 
like with some of these more 

514
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:45,880
chaotic, you know, anti fragile 
running back profiles, and maybe

515
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,160
this is how we how we do that. 
We're like, what if we go like 

516
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,680
true 0 running back here with 
like a Chardonnay, You know, 

517
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,760
honestly, I'm back in on Zeke is
your Zeke point. 

518
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,680
Now I'm in. 
You can you can you could get 

519
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:00,440
it. 
I was never in. 

520
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:05,400
I was saying even. 
Yeah, I was never in. 

521
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,040
I want to be clear. 
Ty Chandler, Rico Dowdle, 

522
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,920
Marshawn Lloyd. 
Right Like these? 

523
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,560
These are the profiles that 0 
running back was sort of built 

524
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,880
on Videl. 
Stand alone and some upside is 

525
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,760
kind of what you're. 
Yeah, yeah, these profiles are 

526
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,440
still pretty cheap. 
Like you could start in round 10

527
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,720
and tack on probably three of 
them through like round round 

528
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,880
12, you know? 
I've I've not been big on Julian

529
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,880
Mclaughlin's ability to actually
get a large workload, but he to 

530
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,520
me, he's going to have some 
standalone value. 

531
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,520
Yeah, I agree. 
I like. 

532
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,000
McLaughlin, yeah, he's the back 
in the day like Pete just 

533
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,840
mentioned that he minds a little
bit back in the day we do those 

534
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,040
receiving backs, they don't 
really exist as much anymore. 

535
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,080
But he's that kind of profile 
where I don't think there's the 

536
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,680
the huge ceiling. 
I do think he's startable to get

537
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,320
you to the anti fragile bets. 
Right, right. 

538
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,640
Yeah, yeah. 
So I mean, like, I actually, as 

539
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,640
much as I like the, you know, 
the couple guys in that range, 

540
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,600
especially like Warren and 
Brooks, to me would be like guys

541
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,680
I actually would be willing to 
take over some of the wide 

542
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,400
receiver upside. 
I'm not. 

543
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,240
I promise you now, I will not 
try to get us to take Brian 

544
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,040
Robinson over Xavier Worthy. 
I'm not going to do it. 

545
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:20,280
Don't worry. 
Like I'm much more interested in

546
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,160
saying let's take Xavier Worthy 
as like our wide receiver seven.

547
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,800
Yeah. 
And I, I usually don't like 

548
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,280
going as as wide receiver deep, 
but I like this point. 

549
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,240
And then Pete's point about not 
liking the OR being in a bind in

550
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,120
round eight, but also not liking
the tight ends. 

551
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,080
I, it made me even want to do 
the elite tight end idea even 

552
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,360
more because I was like, yeah, I
mean, I definitely want to be 

553
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:43,080
taking a running back or 
receiver in that range. 

554
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,440
Visa V not Visa V versus one of 
these tight ends or like, 

555
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,960
especially, you know, the 
Ferguson or like in Joku prices 

556
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,600
in round six. 
Like I don't want to be making 

557
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,720
that tight end pick or feeling 
like we have to because we don't

558
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,000
have a tight end yet. 
But that was the reminder when 

559
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,320
you said that, Pete, that we 
always talk about that. 

560
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,800
It's not just an FFPC. 
The elites are pushed up. 

561
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:06,440
It's also that like round 10 
tight ends are, are, are way 

562
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,760
costlier. 
Everything is costlier at tight 

563
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,600
end and we still are seeing a 
thing here where there's not 

564
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,680
even a first round tight end. 
And I would argue these are 

565
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,360
first round tight end premium 
profiles. 

566
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,120
But again, because there's seven
of them, you get him in the 

567
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:20,600
second and third. 
Like we used to think it was so 

568
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,600
cheap to get like Pitts or Mark 
Andrews at the 2-3 turn when 

569
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,240
they were like the tight end 
two, tight end three those 

570
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,960
years. 
But because there's seven of 

571
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,160
them, like Kyle Pitts is going 
at the end of the third round of

572
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,280
this, like that is appealing to 
me. 

573
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:32,800
Like I. 
Want to? 

574
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:33,840
That's very. 
Appealing. 

575
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,200
I want to build that. 
One and looking at this like I 

576
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,080
think my dream start, if I could
draw it up, Give me the two hole

577
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,840
here, give me CD Lamb, give me 
one of these tight ends, Andrews

578
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,560
or Kincaid. 
Give me a Chan in the early 3rd.

579
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,400
I'll come back and I'll grab 
flowers. 

580
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,200
I'll come back and I'll grab T 
Higgins. 

581
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,640
I will come back and I'll grab 
Jane Reed. 

582
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,160
I'll grab Rashi Rice. 
I'll grab Xavier Worthy. 

583
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,760
I'll grab Brian Thomas or Roma 
Doonsay. 

584
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,720
See, I think I throw in 
Richardson there. 

585
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,440
Richardson's just available in 
the late 6th. 

586
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,320
I think that's I would grab him 
like over at Jayden Reed and 

587
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,320
then push because we know we're 
getting like worthy in Rome, 

588
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,280
like. 
Yeah. 

589
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,240
Yeah, those guys over read, you 
know we're. 

590
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,080
Gonna yeah, the other thing. 
Then you start to kind of go 

591
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,360
with the stacking stuff of like,
oh maybe you could also take DAC

592
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,200
in the ninth, maybe the. 
Actuals. 

593
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,360
To the 10th he can get Jane 
Daniels but I just like looking 

594
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,440
at these running backs like the 
HN seems like the the best price

595
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,600
to me. 
Best price, yeah, 'cause he's 

596
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,720
he's cheaper than on 100 dog. 
I mean, Sanderson's he's. 

597
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:38,200
The last one worth drafting. 
Yeah, yeah. 

598
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,200
I mean his obviously he's, he's 
great in all formats. 

599
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,480
Like he's, I guess, you know, 
going to be a little bit more 

600
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,440
volatile, but like, you know, 
and so therefore better in 

601
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,000
baseball. 
Like he will be more volatile 

602
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,760
and I guess than better in 
baseball, but like he's going to

603
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,560
be his ceiling is so high that 
you just lock him in you you put

604
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,640
him in it's. 
A certain thing on the 

605
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,600
volatility when it's a player 
that you're just going to start 

606
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,800
every week anyway, doesn't 
matter. 

607
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,640
It actually it's better in 
baseball, but he's still going 

608
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,160
to hit your line up. 
It's not like he's going to miss

609
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,240
your line up and managed. 
Right, right, right. 

610
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,680
Yeah, like you're the amount of 
points you're leaving on the 

611
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,200
table, like isn't that many 
probably, right? 

612
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,560
Yeah. 
Especially relative to what 

613
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,880
other people are doing, you 
know, like what? 

614
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,160
It's not like you're going 
against best ball rosters. 

615
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,000
I like that note, Pete. 
I, I and you guys have advocated

616
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,880
for this on FFPC since, you 
know, I first joined you guys 

617
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,800
back in. 
I mean, I started doing this 

618
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,360
stuff in late 2020. 
So we were doing the 2021 draft 

619
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,680
season about the idea of getting
an anchor running back and an 

620
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,120
early tight end in the first 
like 3 rounds and then kind of 

621
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,600
hammering receiver in the dead 
zone. 

622
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,400
It feels like getting back to 
that structure this year as 

623
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,760
well, whether it's a Chan or 
it's. 

624
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,880
Making me so happy, like I'm 
just going back to stuff. 

625
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,200
We can. 
We can just hammer wide receiver

626
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,480
again, yeah. 
Like if you get in a room where 

627
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,640
Chaser, Aminar, Jefferson end up
going a little higher, Bijan 

628
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,520
falls to one O 6, one O 7. 
Like, I want to kind of jump on 

629
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,280
that, yeah. 
And then hit on like McBride in 

630
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,800
the second round and then just 
go, all right, I'm going to, I'm

631
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,440
going to piss yellow now for 6-7
rounds like that sounds awesome.

632
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,120
Like I love that. 
And then you can still keep 

633
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,520
yourself open to like, oh, 
Jonathan Brooks slides 3 picks 

634
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,680
or 4 picks pass. 
Like you know what, we still, 

635
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,080
you know, there's some wide 
receivers we like OK, we let's 

636
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,120
do A2V2 because if you do just 
rip the nine straight or 

637
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,480
whatever, then it's like you 
can't really take Jalen Polk. 

638
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,880
I mean, you can, but you're 
going to need running backs. 

639
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,080
Here. 
But I'm saying I would want to 

640
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,360
play some of those two V twos of
like, no, let's also grab 

641
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,480
Jonathan Brooks here because we 
know that we can arbitrage some 

642
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,520
of this with a Pulk pick later. 
There's some running back 

643
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,280
profiles that are worth taking I
think. 

644
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,120
Another one I'd be more 
interested in is another guy 

645
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,960
who's played two years. 
And the reason I think of it a 

646
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,360
little different than Pacheco, 
it's Kenneth Walker, is that I 

647
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,200
think he's held back by 
committee talk, whereas 

648
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,200
Pacheco's price is clearly not 
held back by any other teammate,

649
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,920
you know what I mean? 
So they're like the fact that 

650
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,000
the market is capped on how high
they're willing to push him and 

651
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,360
they don't see him as a first or
second rounder speaks to his 

652
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,400
profile. 
Walker I think it speaks more to

653
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,480
workload, which is traditionally
been one of those. 

654
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,920
Yeah, although he his efficiency
was straight up bad last year. 

655
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,000
Yeah, it's really boom bust. 
I mean, I think he he still hits

656
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,640
for big runs if you look at it 
that way. 

657
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,960
He does, but his his success 
rate's been bad for two straight

658
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,040
years. 
Success rate, yeah. 

659
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,800
His rush of respect, it was 
negative I believe last year. 

660
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,760
But just in terms of of hitting 
on something that can be 

661
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,040
explosive efficiency wise, he. 
He can definitely hit long runs.

662
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,400
Yeah, there's no doubt there's 
the. 

663
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,040
Potential for that. 
But yeah, Brooks is the is the 

664
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,640
other better example, I think in
that in that range. 

665
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,320
But I'm totally open to to 
detouring for running backs that

666
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:41,560
have like real ceiling, right? 
Like real scoring ceiling. 

667
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,920
And I love that like, you know, 
OK, like Zamir White is someone 

668
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,760
I've been taking actually like 
way more than I thought I would,

669
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,960
you know, because he's like kind
of a clap like thin resume, not 

670
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,040
that great of a prospect on a 
bad team, Two down profile. 

671
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,960
Like I'm not taking that guy, 
but he's like available around 

672
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,280
pick 90 half the time. 
So I'm like, yeah, actually is 

673
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,480
my like running back two or 
running back one? 

674
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,120
Cool. 
But it's ultimately if he just 

675
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:13,120
plays the 17 games and doesn't 
lose the work on a skill based 

676
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,120
and he stays healthy, like if he
actually just plays like he's a 

677
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,680
hit there, he doesn't have to be
good. 

678
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,480
Yeah. 
He can just so I love, love, 

679
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,640
love that. 
Like, no, he's in the sixth 

680
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,120
round. 
Like you got to pay for it. 

681
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,400
I I don't want to pay for it at 
all. 

682
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,800
There's no way we're. 
So, but I love that, you know, 

683
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,120
other people are having to pay 
for that production that that, 

684
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,600
you know, that volume. 
It's just nice. 

685
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,720
It's just nice. 
It's, it makes it so much, you 

686
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,400
know, more difficult to be like 
this profile that I'm used to 

687
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,840
fading. 
You're actually, you know, in 

688
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,280
baseball because of the way the 
the format works, it's a more 

689
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,880
difficult profile to fade 
period. 

690
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,160
And then it's so cheap that it's
actually like, I think this is a

691
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,400
target now. 
So back to here. 

692
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,000
Yeah, I've no interest in in 
profiles like White, but I like 

693
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,560
that our opponents are gonna 
have to pay up for it. 

694
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,800
What do you guys think of this 
question as far as the best ball

695
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,440
to manage shift? 
Lawrence says how how do 

696
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,120
discounted guys like Rashi and 
Addison need to be valued or how

697
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,320
much do they need to be 
discounted with the uncertainty 

698
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,679
and the 12 week regular season, 
which again, is a big difference

699
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:15,840
here. 
And we've talked about fast 

700
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,960
starts a lot. 
And if you're a little too cute 

701
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,760
with, you know, building late 
season monsters, you might not 

702
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,760
get those teams to the dance. 
That's a great point, but also 

703
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,239
like you also have to keep in 
mind that when you get the team 

704
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,560
to the dance, it's a very top 
heavy structure. 

705
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,320
It's not much different than 
everything we talk about in in 

706
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,480
best ball. 
So but now the difference is if 

707
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,239
you win your league, you get a 
nice little payout like you want

708
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,239
to do well in the regular 
season. 

709
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,080
That's going to be the a big way
that you can turn a 

710
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,679
profitability in these leagues. 
To me, it's totally dependent on

711
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:47,400
the the texture of your for 
those are those are receivers. 

712
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,199
It's totally depend on the 
texture of your build so far and

713
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:50,360
the texture of your receiver 
room. 

714
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:51,440
Like if you. 
Feel How many rookies have you 

715
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,040
taken? 
You know, if you feel that 

716
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,920
you're not back weighted very 
much, then I think you need then

717
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,040
you you're going after back 
weighted production with Rashid 

718
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,320
Rice. 
I think Rashid Rice is a really 

719
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,960
compelling pick in this format, 
as long as it's not hurting you 

720
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,200
too much for the reasons that 
Lawrence. 

721
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:09,800
Alluded to people also do think 
about that, that regular season,

722
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,000
that short regular season, a lot
like you'll you'll hear about 

723
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,080
you know that you know, it's a 
it's a reason that people are 

724
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,120
actually falling in drafts. 
So you know, and Rice here is 

725
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,840
going in the 7th. 
He's making an an attack on the 

726
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,480
the fifth round right now on 
underdogs. 

727
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,680
So you know you are getting. 
No, may not get. 

728
00:35:30,720 --> 00:35:33,320
Suspended. 
There's still like some 

729
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,560
possibility that he might not 
get suspended, in which case 

730
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,280
he's a fucking smash in the 
seventh round. 

731
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,200
Absolute. 
Smash. 

732
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,520
I and I do think that's a huge, 
there is a big difference in 

733
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,520
knowing, you know, what was it 
the year DeAndre Hopkins was 

734
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,440
suspended the first six games, 
like knowing that concretely 

735
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,960
versus like you could be free 
rolling a non suspension that is

736
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,240
that is very different. 
Yeah, yeah. 

737
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,520
And ATP is really. 
In those ways, but like it's 

738
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,360
important to think about non 
injury related, non teammate 

739
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,240
related, non football related 
risk in probabilistic range of 

740
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:07,200
outcomes ways like there's 
upside here in the uncertainty. 

741
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:15,360
Yeah, and you know on the FFPCAD
PS: will change dramatically and

742
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,120
people just don't care about ADP
like they do one underdog. 

743
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:24,120
So if Rice, you know if we get 
something like he is suspension 

744
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:29,160
is very likely pushed to 2025, 
then he'll just like the next 

745
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,120
day go in the third round. 
Right, you'll never get him in 

746
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,800
the 7th. 
Round yeah it's not like he'll 

747
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,680
creep up like he'll just go 
where like he's supposed to go 

748
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,000
like immediately like that's 
just the way it tends to work 

749
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,200
especially like you know if we 
were to get that news you know 

750
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,000
in main event season in like in 
Vegas people just do whatever 

751
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,960
they want there's no like using 
the ADP is like oh this is 6 

752
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,760
spots ahead should I no it 
doesn't really work like that 

753
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,360
they don't give. 
A to your point, like after the 

754
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,560
Thursday Night Football game is 
played like any player in 

755
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,920
Thursday Night Football is going
to move six rounds One Direction

756
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,520
or the other. 
Yes, yes, that's one week in 

757
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,120
week one. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

758
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:10,560
Pete, can you go up? 
Can you pull? 

759
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,520
Up this Mike Robb comment and 
can we? 

760
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,480
What is this? 
Mike Rob says Pat, I heard a 

761
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,200
rumor that last time you saw 
Liam, you gave him the two small

762
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,000
hand gesture and Mao two small 
son to him as your security open

763
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:29,040
the door to your personal SUV. 
I I mean, if that's just 

764
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,400
made-up, that's a. 
Fantastic. 

765
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,920
That's just completely made-up, 
Yeah. 

766
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,600
If it said Tesla then we would 
have been on to something. 

767
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,000
Jeez. 
Great fan fiction I. 

768
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,320
Like it? 
I mean, it's very funny, but 

769
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:48,760
complete, complete fiction. 
While I while I think of it, we 

770
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,880
will We'll have some more 
announcements soon about our 

771
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:56,840
streaming schedule for August. 
That'll include flipping back to

772
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,360
some evening night streams for 
drafts. 

773
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,600
I I don't even know if we've 
like publicly announced that we 

774
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,200
will be in Vegas for those 
drafts at the beginning of the 

775
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,560
season. 
We're still figuring out kind of

776
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,320
what we're going to do for ship 
chasing meet up. 

777
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,120
We do have the back-to-back 
games, the Thursday night game 

778
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,680
and now the Friday night game. 
We'll have some more details 

779
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,400
about that. 
We'll also have details for the 

780
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,000
ship chaser VIPs. 
We'll have some Co manager 

781
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,920
opportunities. 
Again, we'll be circulating a 

782
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:29,480
form to gauge interest for that.
But yeah, just some things to 

783
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,960
put on your radar. 
We're getting our ducks in a row

784
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:36,320
for for all of that coming up. 
Yeah, it's very exciting. 

785
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:37,920
I'm I'm psyched to get out to 
Vegas. 

786
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,480
Are you gonna drive? 
Or just fly the personal plate, 

787
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,680
so the private the private 
plate. 

788
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:49,920
Last year I did take, now it's, 
it's a commercial thing that, 

789
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,880
you know, comes out of the, the 
San Diego airport. 

790
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,840
But I did and I didn't know I 
was, I didn't know I was doing 

791
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,000
this because I've booked it 
through, you know, the chase 

792
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:02,800
portal with like points and 
there was only one direct flight

793
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,680
available and it was JetBlue. 
So I booked it and it was more 

794
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,920
expensive than usual, but I 
booked it kind of late. 

795
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,520
So I was like, you know, this is
what I get, You know, I waited 

796
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,280
too long. 
It turns out, no, it was 

797
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,720
actually, I think JSX is the 
line, but it's like a, it's a 

798
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:21,080
private plane. 
Oh God. 

799
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,880
Wow how rich he's accidentally 
booking. 

800
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,920
Private is a little more 
expensive. 

801
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,120
Actually. 
Private. 

802
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,640
Private flights. 
There was like, there was like 

803
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,440
20 people on it, you know, It 
wasn't like. 

804
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,680
You know. 
But it wasn't all rows of seats,

805
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,120
it was like there was like a 
different setup I'm assuming. 

806
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,800
No, it was basically just a 
small plane. 

807
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,280
It wasn't like. 
Yeah, it was like there weren't 

808
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,800
leather seats. 
I'd like to. 

809
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,040
What I was gonna say is there's 
there's two types of basketball 

810
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,600
touts. 
The one that buys the wrong 

811
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,520
flight to the wrong city on 
their way to Vegas, and the one 

812
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,240
that buys the the the the 
personal. 

813
00:39:58,320 --> 00:39:59,480
Yeah, that's true. 
Those are. 

814
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,800
The two types. 
The big thing is that you don't 

815
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,920
go, you just show up at like a, 
it's the plane of the plane, 

816
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,200
private plane. 
That's so cool. 

817
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,200
No, it's like, it's basically 
like it's closer to a puddle 

818
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,280
jumper than like a cool plane. 
But you don't go through 

819
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:14,880
security. 
You just show up at the hangar 

820
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,000
and they're like, all right, 
cool. 

821
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,400
That's that. 
I did enjoy quite a bit. 

822
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,960
It is good. 
Yeah, do. 

823
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,440
They search you at all or 
anything. 

824
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,160
No, no, no. 
You just get on the plane. 

825
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:25,960
Just whatever you want to bring 
on the plane you. 

826
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,080
Can it's like 1960 bro they they
come with like with a with 

827
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,160
drinks and stuff on the plane. 
It's just literally. 

828
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,760
Had like a six foot bong like on
his shoulder like a log as he 

829
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,640
walks. 
I I stopped I, you know, like 

830
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:42,000
because you walk up, there's no 
like tunnel little thing you go 

831
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,880
through, you walk up the stairs 
to the plane like on the on the 

832
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,840
asphalt. 
And so right at the top of the 

833
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,120
stairs, I just lit that bong up.
This is a survey. 

834
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,760
Survey the scene. 
Gave a wave like a president. 

835
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,240
Let the smoke suck, all right? 
We can take off now. 

836
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,240
What do you guys think? 
We we haven't talked a ton about

837
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:07,440
the quarterback prices. 
I know Pat just mentioned the 

838
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,960
Anthony Richardson. 
You got Josh Allen in round 

839
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,920
four. 
I still looking at this FFPCADP,

840
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,880
Hertz, Mahomes, Lamar in round 
5A, Rich and six, Stroud and 

841
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,240
seven. 
Then you go all the way down to 

842
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:23,400
9 where you get Burrow, Kyler, 
Dak, Love and then Jaden Daniels

843
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,840
in round 11. 
What do you guys think about the

844
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,320
QB landscape? 
Interesting. 

845
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,480
I mean, it's definitely. 
I mean, I think you, you can 

846
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,680
make a compelling case to to pay
up and and go after something. 

847
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:37,360
I think you can make a 
compelling case to wait with 

848
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,720
those prices for sure. 
Like there's some good options 

849
00:41:39,720 --> 00:41:40,880
there in that 9:00 to 11:00, 
right? 

850
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,640
That QB windows alive and well, 
too. 

851
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,760
We've seen we've seen Mahomes 
pay off in a big way. 

852
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:54,200
This exact ADP like two years 
ago we did this and he was a 

853
00:41:54,200 --> 00:42:00,320
smash Hertz in the 5th. 
You know, Allen 4th Lamar coming

854
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,120
off an MVP season, looks like he
falls to the 6th pretty 

855
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,880
regularly. 
Richardson in the 6th 7th like 

856
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,520
that's this quarterback upside 
does seem underpriced. 

857
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,560
Then I'd probably want to. 
I mean, well, then the market 

858
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,360
kind of kind of dictates that. 
Then you there's like a tier 

859
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,280
basically until like the 9th 
ish. 

860
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,080
But like, I don't know, Kyler 
seems pretty decently priced at 

861
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,640
the at the 8-9 love. 
Yeah, Daniels in the 10th is 

862
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,000
pretty nice. 
I mean, so you want to talk 

863
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,080
about the difference between 
like best ball and redraft? 

864
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,560
Like Daniels is definitely a 
target for me in best ball, but 

865
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,000
not someone I'm like super, 
super excited about. 

866
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,960
And in part it's because like 
this dude takes on hits and I'm 

867
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,480
like, man, I really don't want, 
I'm drafting 2 quarterbacks 

868
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,760
probably with the Daniels build,
maybe three, but and A2 

869
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,680
quarterback build. 
If Daniels is getting hurt, you 

870
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,040
know, for even four or five 
games, that's really going to 

871
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,600
hurt. 
Me we also I love this point. 

872
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,600
We also don't know how much the 
offense is going to work like 

873
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,000
towards his running. 
If we see him in week one run 8 

874
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,200
times you're like, oh that's 
right. 

875
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:10,080
So. 
Yeah, but no, I mean, so Daniels

876
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:14,000
is like he has the profile where
you very set and forget starter 

877
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,840
could really pay off if he were 
to miss a few games. 

878
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,640
And we like pick up off the 
waiver wire like you know, Drake

879
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,440
may maybe or even like you know,
you can get Deshaun Watson in 

880
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,160
the 16th. 
You can get will you? 

881
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,120
Literally think of another 
example of a later QB like they 

882
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,520
don't even exist. 
In Pat's brain, the grin in this

883
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,320
like. 
Drake may, maybe. 

884
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:39,680
Violent through his. 
Eyes, let's say his name Bonex, 

885
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,040
Bonex off the wave wire. 
It's, it's like it's very easy. 

886
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,360
Like why would you like? 
And, and this is sometimes I 

887
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,280
feel like in redraft, people are
more worried about the injury 

888
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,360
risk than less. 
But like, who cares? 

889
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,520
Like if Jaden Daniels gives us 6
awesome weeks and then we ought 

890
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,480
to go figure out quarterback 
again, like, OK, that's fine. 

891
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,280
In the 10th round, that's 
totally fine. 

892
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,400
He's such a compelling play. 
The other two names I would give

893
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,840
in the in the late 12th are I 
think you're going to get a 

894
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,120
little bit more mobility as I 
went through my projections out 

895
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,920
of both Caleb Williams and 
Trevor Lawrence than people 

896
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,000
realized. 
Trevor Lawrence has had some 

897
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,520
solid rushing numbers so far. 
The reason he hasn't really hit 

898
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,880
in fantasy is his career high 
passing TV's is like 25. 

899
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,080
It's gross dude. 
If he just has, I mean, I'm 

900
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,640
like, maybe he's not going to 
take that step forward, but he 

901
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,240
has a a vertical profile to his 
passing. 

902
00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:32,960
He's willing to take shots. 
Yes, 25 is his career high pass 

903
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:34,640
T DS. 
Last year he only had 21. 

904
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,200
If he just has a 30 plus pass TD
season, which I'm more or less 

905
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,960
projecting the markets, 
projecting the the Jags to be a 

906
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:42,640
team that scores points like 
they're not. 

907
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,600
It's it's an anomaly that he 
hasn't done it yet. 

908
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,120
I think for what his profile is 
and how good his surrounding 

909
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,440
cast is and Doug Peterson's his 
coach and all of that stuff, 

910
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,960
he's one of my favorite QBs at 
QB 15. 

911
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,040
I'm trying to get more of him on
an underdog 2. 

912
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,000
I haven't taken enough of him, 
but there's a little bit more 

913
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,320
mobility and a little bit more I
think upside to his overall 

914
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,720
profile. 
If the if the passing side hits 

915
00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:07,320
in a way that like that's one of
my concerns with Richardson that

916
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,160
we're going to have to talk 
through. 

917
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,200
Pat is like, I don't know, the 
passing side can hit big enough 

918
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,240
for him to to smash his ATP. 
I think he'll be fine. 

919
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:16,400
Like he said, obviously you can 
see why the profile could really

920
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,560
hit and obviously his rushing is
the thing that carries him in a 

921
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,120
way that not even Lawrence, but 
the passing side has to come 

922
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,160
along too. 
And and for Lawrence, like it 

923
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,160
just hasn't at all yet. 
If he has a good pass TV season 

924
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,000
and we know that stuff bounces 
around, he's going to be a smash

925
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,640
in that in that range. 
I think that the Richardson is 

926
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,200
just it's a really well designed
offense. 

927
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,120
I think Steiken is super sharp 
and AD Mitchell, like, you know,

928
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,720
reports so far have been 
extremely exciting. 

929
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:45,760
I don't like Pittman at his cost
in basketball at all, but he can

930
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,360
play and then I think Josh Jones
can play, so. 

931
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,840
You know, tricky thing for me on
them on the projections was the 

932
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,880
market actually has them as a 
pretty low scoring team overall.

933
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,520
And so even when I gave him like
Russian TDs, I had to give 

934
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:00,160
Jonathan Taylor some rush TDs. 
They're not that much different 

935
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,760
than Jacksonville, to be clear, 
but I think Jonathan Taylor's 

936
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,560
more of a threat for like 
rushing TDs. 

937
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,000
And probably TN is like you get 
to the overall TD profile. 

938
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,600
It's like I ended up not being 
able to project many passing TDs

939
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,360
because I was projecting them to
be a team that was imbalanced 

940
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,080
towards rush TDs, if that makes 
sense. 

941
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,600
That does make sense. 
And so then you need Indy to 

942
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,120
like beat market expectation as 
an offense and overall 

943
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,600
touchdowns, which you can get. 
But that's sort of where. 

944
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,160
I'm willing to bet on that with 
if I'm, if you're telling me I 

945
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,360
need, if I'm betting on Anthony 
Richardson and that means I'm 

946
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,440
betting on Indy to beat 
expectations, I'm good. 

947
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:31,720
Right. 
Yeah, that makes sense. 

948
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:36,080
Here, Here's a fun little 
wrinkle of the QBADP relative to

949
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,000
the guys Gretsch just 
highlighted. 

950
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,640
Lawrence and Caleb going in the 
12th. 

951
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,760
Look at who the two wide 
receivers you'd be tempted by 

952
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,080
are in the ninth around all of 
those other quarterbacks. 

953
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,720
If you're like Kyler, Love, 
Burrow, Jane Daniels and Dak, 

954
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:51,320
you got Rome and Brian Thomas. 
Yeah. 

955
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,400
So if you are like, I want to, I
can't pass on Rome and Brian 

956
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,000
Thomas. 
But guess what? 

957
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,800
Now let's just put their 
quarterback in. 

958
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,760
Our back pocket A. 
Couple rounds. 

959
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,880
Later, and those are, I mean 
Caleb, that's a really nice 

960
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,960
price on Caleb. 
That's a really nice price. 

961
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,240
Yeah, so damn. 
Like 12th round Caleb stacked 

962
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:11,560
with Rome in the ninth. 
God damn. 

963
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,960
Yeah, damn. 
The Caleb thing, I just did my 

964
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,320
my Chicago projection too, and 
it's like they have a lot of 

965
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,920
weapons, man. 
They have a lot of good weapons.

966
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,600
I'm just like all of my target 
projections for everyone on that

967
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,680
offense are lower than is it is 
reasonable, which is to say that

968
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:32,680
like if someone gets hurt or 
something, you don't have a 

969
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:36,080
floor like guys can can soak up 
the other volume like I'm I'm. 

970
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,080
Projecting. 
Even lower than he should be DJ 

971
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,360
more low than he should be 
Romajunsi lower than a top 10 

972
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,240
receiver should be. 
Comment lower than he should be 

973
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,360
all the way down. 
Even like the running backs that

974
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,000
earn volume they have, they have
good pass catching backs between

975
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,120
Swift and Roshan. 
And that actually really scares 

976
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,040
me. 
And they keep talking about 

977
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:52,240
Gerald Everett. 
Right. 

978
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:53,680
And Gerald Everett's there and 
all that stuff. 

979
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,280
But my point is there's enough 
there that like if if somebody 

980
00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,520
gets hurt, if if DJ Moore goes 
down, OK, well, I can easily 

981
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,800
project Keenan Allen to do more 
than I was projecting. 

982
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,560
I can easily project a doonsie 
to to soak some of this up. 

983
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:08,320
I can project more two tight end
sets in both command and Everett

984
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,200
actually hit. 
Like I can't even project 

985
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,480
Everett for any volume at all. 
And I do think he's going to be 

986
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,560
a part of their offense because 
they have like a lot of depth to

987
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,880
their past team is I mean, it's 
just like a real thing. 

988
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,000
Yeah, they do. 
Let's this is a good question 

989
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:27,200
from Nick talking about the 
stacking stuff in redraft. 

990
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,400
I'll just like frame the 
conversation and then get your 

991
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,320
guys's thoughts. 
I think to me there's two big 

992
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,600
benefits. 
There's the regular season, just

993
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:37,280
simple correlation. 
Like if Brian Thomas is a smash 

994
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,880
man, I think that really 
increases the chances that 

995
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,720
Trevor Lawrence has a good year.
So just like team level 

996
00:48:42,720 --> 00:48:45,040
correlation. 
But then there is the playoff 

997
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:46,880
Sprint element. 
Gretch was hinting at it 

998
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,880
massively, massively top heavy 
the same way you are approaching

999
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,400
the Sprint contest on underdog. 
It's the same thing here with 

1000
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,840
FFPC weeks 15 through 17. 
There are going to be teams 

1001
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,680
stack pairings that go off and 
it allows you to get less things

1002
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,720
right to be concentrated on 
those offenses, on those 

1003
00:49:05,720 --> 00:49:07,240
pairing. 
That's kind of how I think about

1004
00:49:07,240 --> 00:49:08,680
it. 
So I'm still pretty big 

1005
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,400
stacking, not to the extent we 
are on, on underdog, but I think

1006
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,760
it's a priority. 
I think it's a great point and I

1007
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:17,840
think in the past years it 
wasn't as popular, but as we get

1008
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:21,880
further along it's going to 
trickle into this stuff more, 

1009
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,720
especially with the way that 
underdog structures are set up. 

1010
00:49:24,720 --> 00:49:26,680
Like I'm just thinking a few 
years ago when Josh Allen and 

1011
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:31,000
Stefan Diggs were the nuts in 
the Sprint, there were some Josh

1012
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,640
Allen and Stefan Diggs teams 
around the top, and then there 

1013
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,000
were also some just pure Josh 
Allen teams and then some pure 

1014
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,240
Stefan Diggs teams. 
I remember cuz I had a Stefan 

1015
00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:41,520
Diggs team that year and I 
didn't have Allen and I wasn't 

1016
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,120
completely blocked. 
I feel like if that happened to 

1017
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,600
this year, you'd be blocked 
because I, you also need a 

1018
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,040
Camara that year and you needed 
some other dudes and I think 

1019
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,720
there wasn't enough 
configurations that had all 

1020
00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:52,880
that. 
But the tournament's gotten a 

1021
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,120
little bigger. 
First prize is larger now. 

1022
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,160
And I feel like, so some of the 
past data might, might even 

1023
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,080
actually say like, well, it 
hasn't always needed to be a, a,

1024
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:03,960
a correlation, But to Pete's 
point, you're getting less 

1025
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,000
things right. 
And when they hit in a 

1026
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,920
correlated way like that, 
there's going to be more teams 

1027
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,320
in there that have that is is 
sort of the way that I'm 

1028
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,280
thinking about it. 
Yeah, I think the biggest the 

1029
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,600
difference is that like you're 
it's so much more important to 

1030
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:23,760
just like be trying to find the 
right players in redraft, in 

1031
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,840
part because when you don't find
the right players, it doesn't 

1032
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,200
matter as much. 
Like if you just whiff, it's not

1033
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,400
as big of a deal. 
Obviously if you draft like tons

1034
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:33,680
of busts, your team's going to 
suck. 

1035
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,920
But like it's about finding 
those players that are the huge 

1036
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,640
difference makers and then over 
the course of the season 

1037
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,440
cobbling together enough around 
them. 

1038
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,040
And your draft might not 
ultimately even be like look at 

1039
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:48,640
the the go Bills draft from you 
know what, the second year they 

1040
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,200
want the 2nd. 
Year they want, yeah. 

1041
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,640
It's like half the guys weren't 
on the team. 

1042
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,480
You know, they had to, they had 
to build it over the course of 

1043
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,520
the year. 
That's and that's very common 

1044
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:00,800
for, you know, good redraft 
seems is that you're continuing 

1045
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,720
to build them post draft. 
So, you know, in that sense, I 

1046
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:07,040
think stacking is is less 
important because you should be 

1047
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,480
breaking ties towards the 
profiles that you know, you 

1048
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:11,480
think have a better chance of 
especially like the weed 

1049
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,280
winners. 
The tack on stacks late, which 

1050
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:15,840
matters best. 
Exactly right, because. 

1051
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,080
They hit your line up, but in in
redraft, you're not actually 

1052
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:25,040
going to go put whoever the you 
know, DJ Charkin, I mean, maybe 

1053
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,000
he could hit in a way that you 
would if you I don't know. 

1054
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,760
Like we talked about Trevor 
Lawrence, like Gabe Davis is not

1055
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,880
especially appealing as a not 
going to start partner. 

1056
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,240
And and, and partly because 
guess what, dude, you're 

1057
00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:40,680
dropping Gabe Davis, you're 
probably dropping Gabe Davis. 

1058
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,840
You know, maybe you know, 
there's certain builds where 

1059
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,720
maybe Gabe Davis is a stacked 
thing with Trevor Lawrence. 

1060
00:51:46,720 --> 00:51:50,720
Feels like, OK, man, we need a 
receiver, you know, sure, but 

1061
00:51:50,720 --> 00:51:53,400
like, it's not a priority to get
that. 

1062
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,880
Whereas, you know, if you have 
Lawrence in on a basketball team

1063
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,440
and you're coming around and you
kind of need a receiver and Gabe

1064
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,440
Davis is there, sure. 
Like, that seems great. 

1065
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:04,840
You know, it's just a different 
thing. 

1066
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:09,520
Well, I was thinking of some 
actual names to make that point.

1067
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,320
There's been like, Rondelle 
Moore's, what I've been doing 

1068
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:13,120
with the Falcon stacks. 
I would never see a scenario 

1069
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:15,040
where I could start Rondelle 
Moore in a managed league. 

1070
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,200
Yeah, like everything would have
to be wrong with Kirk Cousins. 

1071
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,360
Greg Dorch is one I've done with
Kylie Murray stuff. 

1072
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,000
I I don't, I don't think you're 
like, I want to put Greg Dorch 

1073
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,240
in for the stacking element into
a managed league. 

1074
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:26,320
That's probably never happened, 
but that makes sense in 

1075
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,440
basketball. 
In the the other point I was 

1076
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,880
going to make is you have you're
not forced into the stack like 

1077
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,920
you are with best ball or using 
the stack, I should say, like I 

1078
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,720
think an element that would be 
realistic in the Sprint. 

1079
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,560
Say you took tank Dell and then 
you got CJ Stroud as a value and

1080
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,200
you stack those guys up. 
But say you just hit, you 

1081
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,640
crushed your wide receiver 
decisions and tank Dell wasn't 

1082
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,640
even in your starting lineup 
most weeks because he was really

1083
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,440
volatile. 
You don't know where to use him.

1084
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,840
But then you find yourself in 
the Sprint and you are 50 points

1085
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,440
out and yes, you have a guy who 
projects for 3.4 more points 

1086
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,120
than take Dell. 
But CJ Stroud is your 

1087
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:00,840
quarterback. 
You know, tank Dell is going to 

1088
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,360
be low owned, not going to be 
used by a lot of teams. 

1089
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,880
What is a way for you to climb 
your way up? 

1090
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,280
You use that correlation, that 
stack and the percentage to your

1091
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,920
advantage. 
So like, I think those are the 

1092
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:13,760
situations where it could really
come in handy. 

1093
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,360
Yeah, give yourself a lever, but
to your point tank, Dell is a a 

1094
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,920
class of receiver that can be 
within like 3 projected points 

1095
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,000
of your starter. 
You can't do that with a like a 

1096
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:24,320
like. 
And I know you weren't saying 

1097
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,040
this, but I'm just reinforcing 
like that point doesn't extend 

1098
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:28,880
to like a great Greg Dorch 
because you'd have to be giving 

1099
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:30,880
up like 10 points of projected 
that week. 

1100
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:32,120
You wouldn't do that. 
Yeah. 

1101
00:53:32,720 --> 00:53:35,240
Yeah. 
But I mean, I do think there are

1102
00:53:35,240 --> 00:53:38,760
some interesting stuff like a 
Troy Franklin and and Bo Nicks. 

1103
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,440
So you're probably not even 
needing to draft, but maybe it's

1104
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:43,760
like sort of waiver wire speed 
dial on Nicks. 

1105
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,120
We'll see. 
We'll kind of see where he's at.

1106
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:50,440
I could, I think he could be 
draftable, but like that would 

1107
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,960
be like that's a stack that I 
kind of am interested in because

1108
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,720
that would be like, you know, 
potential path sort of thing or 

1109
00:53:56,720 --> 00:53:58,320
like. 
It's a bet on the whole offense.

1110
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,480
Bet on the whole offense and 
Franklin, like Franklin 

1111
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:04,840
certainly fits a profile of 
like, I don't know, like he 

1112
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,800
could be nothing. 
He could be really something. 

1113
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,000
And it I like him in best ball 
because I think there's a good 

1114
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,720
chance he he's playing by the 
end of the year. 

1115
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,240
But I also like him in redraft 
because if he's totally nothing 

1116
00:54:15,240 --> 00:54:17,920
and I have to cut him, I don't. 
Who cares? 

1117
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,600
Yeah. 
It doesn't. 

1118
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,600
The only reason you care is 
those guys. 

1119
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,320
You sometimes round trip those 
guys and then you're like, man. 

1120
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,640
Troy Franklin Week 7 breakout. 
I wish I didn't have. 

1121
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:28,560
I know that's true. 
Then you do care? 

1122
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:30,000
Yeah. 
What was the round trip? 

1123
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,320
You caught up too early. 
Oh, like you cut the guy because

1124
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,560
they're not doing anything, but 
then they do what you thought 

1125
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,720
they were going to do all along.
It's surged toward the end of 

1126
00:54:36,720 --> 00:54:39,240
the season, but you couldn't 
afford the roster spot. 

1127
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:41,000
Yeah. 
Right, right. 

1128
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,960
But then also the fear of that 
is why you hold Quinn Johnston 

1129
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:44,880
too long. 
It's too long. 

1130
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,760
It's a vicious cycle. 
It's tough. 

1131
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:51,480
It's not easy. 
But here's like, let's see, 

1132
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,160
DeMarcus Robinson's going in the
17th round. 

1133
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,160
Xavier Largette is going in the 
16th round. 

1134
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:58,960
That's a great. 
Example. 

1135
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,560
That's a great. 
Example that's a bet on a on an 

1136
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:06,480
offense that the market hates to
massively over perform to find 

1137
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,520
this year's Texans. 
That's what the Broncos is. 

1138
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,400
That's what Carolina is. 
They're two of the three lowest 

1139
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,920
scoring projected offense and 
New England would be another 

1140
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:15,240
great one. 
If you wanted to say, you know, 

1141
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,720
Polk and and Drake May and all 
those guys. 

1142
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:22,440
Not really into that one, but. 
I I actually trust that you 

1143
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,640
didn't pull them out. 
Right away, I know. 

1144
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:26,600
Trust me. 
When I said Troy Franklin, I was

1145
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:32,560
thinking Polk and May. 
I used I used Polk and Leget as 

1146
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,800
an example in my piece for 
fantasy life and I I'm really 

1147
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,400
playing with fire because I used
on the other side of the coin, 

1148
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,080
like the Dantavian Wicks thing 
where there's all this hype for 

1149
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,360
him, but he could. 
He can certainly pop off for 

1150
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:45,560
spike weeks. 
But I think it's going to 

1151
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,640
probably be pretty hard to know 
when the star Dantavian Wicks. 

1152
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,000
But you're going to know. 
And again, maybe you don't know 

1153
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,240
until later in the season, but 
like we're going to get real 

1154
00:55:53,240 --> 00:55:56,680
good peaks on. 
Is Polk just the alpha there in 

1155
00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:00,160
New England right of the gate? 
And if he is, which is well 

1156
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,520
within the range of outcomes 
like boom, you hit on it. 

1157
00:56:02,720 --> 00:56:06,200
And if he's buried and Juju and 
whoever is playing ahead of him,

1158
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,800
like all right, that's. 
Juju even makes the roster. 

1159
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,600
I think that's that should lower
pulse 80 but. 

1160
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,640
But I do think you take those 
those cuts on those guys because

1161
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,400
that information can be, can be 
really valuable. 

1162
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:19,960
No, 100%. 
And Wix would be one of those 

1163
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,640
guys that's, I mean, probably 
every Packers receiver like they

1164
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,760
they've talked about how they 
won a game plan and roll out 

1165
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,480
different kind of stuff every 
week. 

1166
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,120
And and it's it's not going to 
be predictable like that. 

1167
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,360
It doesn't sound that fun for 
Redraft, even though you don't 

1168
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:38,040
want to take that too far. 
Mac Nova says Chase Claypool 

1169
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,240
around 20 seems like a nice 
click in July redrafts. 

1170
00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:44,800
I would say that that is a good 
call for that type of play. 

1171
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,720
It's there's always way more 
players in that like class of 

1172
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,000
potential then you actually have
roster spots for. 

1173
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,720
So you have to be more 
discerning it. 

1174
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:56,400
It feels like what what's the 
what's the reason not to take 

1175
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,280
him? 
Well, you're not taking other 

1176
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,120
shots and so is he the best shot
you can take. 

1177
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:05,640
Well, yeah. 
And it's like you also if you if

1178
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,520
we are drafting kind of early, 
right, we have like five or six 

1179
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,240
weeks until the season starts. 
Like, who are the late round 

1180
00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:15,720
picks that can really rise? 
It's generally the running 

1181
00:57:15,720 --> 00:57:18,280
backs, right? 
Like when you look at these guys

1182
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:20,440
here, like take some of these 
guys like Khalil Herbert or 

1183
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:23,520
Samaj P Ryan, you know, like 
maybe those guys don't have a 

1184
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,080
great outlook now, but they get 
cut. 

1185
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,240
They sign with the Chiefs, they 
sign, you know, wherever, 

1186
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,360
somewhere attractive. 
It's like those guys are moving 

1187
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:32,440
up four rounds and like you can 
bink that CLV, whereas I just 

1188
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,520
don't think you're ever getting 
mega chase Claypool CLV. 

1189
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,960
I don't think you are either. 
I think Bassi is sort of 

1190
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,320
rotational. 
That's what I was thinking. 

1191
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,000
Even if you're going to go to 
wide receiver, I think I would 

1192
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,440
go to like a Cowboy where like 
maybe Jalen Tolbert is actually 

1193
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,280
something, you know, or even 
like draft Ryan Flournoy and say

1194
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:49,360
he's going to be this year's 
puka. 

1195
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:53,200
Because like then I think if you
bink that, you can bink that in 

1196
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,720
a way that's like he's actually 
running a ton of routes. 

1197
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,880
And in a, you know, obviously 
Claypool would also be in a good

1198
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,880
pass game, but I just think the 
payoff would be different. 

1199
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:08,040
Yep, Yeah, I think it'll be 
yeah, it'll be fun to talk 

1200
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,560
through because I think a lot 
of, you know, similar to how we 

1201
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:15,280
feel on Underdog, like there are
a lot of fun ways to build this 

1202
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,440
year. 
And like, I already just know I 

1203
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,440
I I do want to have some teams 
where it's like, oh, maybe we 

1204
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,080
get in the piss boy room and we 
get a breeze hall or a Bijon 

1205
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:23,720
anchor. 
Like I want to have that team. 

1206
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,880
I want to have a team where we 
have a chant, you know, I want 

1207
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,840
to have these teams where we 
have some of these kind of 

1208
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:32,840
luxury, you know, Detour picks 
early, just that build the 

1209
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,400
versions of teams. 
We like to build around those. 

1210
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:41,480
Can you pull up the board again?
Yeah, because I I think the back

1211
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:45,480
half of the board has been 
frustrating an underdog and in 

1212
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,800
some ways it has that same 
frustration where there's just 

1213
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,080
such a clear tear break after 
A.J. 

1214
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:56,240
Brown, Wilson and puka. 
But it is interesting, like look

1215
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:00,120
at the the the FFPC is honoring 
that tear break at wide receiver

1216
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,440
where on underdog we normally 
just power right through it and 

1217
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:06,040
take Marvin Harrison. 
Exactly, Yeah. 

1218
00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:08,720
And I kind of like that here. 
Like I would have no problem 

1219
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:13,440
going like JT Laporta like at 
the turn and that would now 

1220
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,280
we're just going to rip it. 
I think honoring that tear break

1221
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,320
out of the 12 is probably the 
way to play it like running 

1222
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:24,640
back, tight end start because 
like you're going to be OK at 

1223
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:26,480
receiver. 
You know if you can get if you 

1224
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:31,240
could go neighbors depot at 3-4.
Which you can according to this.

1225
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,800
That's, that's pretty good. 
You know, I'm not going to be 

1226
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,960
like terrified about my, my wide
receiver room if those are my 

1227
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,480
top two guys. 
So I think honoring that tear 

1228
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:45,640
break, which we all feel, you 
know, I, I, but in underdog, we 

1229
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,480
don't really have the ability to
do that because we will fall 

1230
00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:50,920
behind. 
But here it's pretty, I think 

1231
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,520
it's much clearer how to play it
in the back half of the board. 

1232
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:58,960
Yeah, yeah, I'm man, I'm 
getting, I'm getting very 

1233
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,360
excited. 
The other. 

1234
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,360
To get in these. 
Yeah, me too. 

1235
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,440
The other nice thing about the 
back part that started to 

1236
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,840
happen, that's not happening 
here. 

1237
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,160
That started to happen in 
underdog with the rising prices 

1238
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,480
around 7 receivers is like if 
you pick out of the one O 1, the

1239
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:17,400
6-7 turn, you can still get like
I it's so nice when you can 

1240
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,800
still get like for me at least 
for to get like Deonte Johnson 

1241
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,760
and JSN at the 6-7 turn and 
you're like, I've gotten 7 picks

1242
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,960
in and I got both those 
receivers at the back end of 

1243
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:27,600
that whatever detours I took 
prior. 

1244
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,320
Whereas in when you're in the 
back window, you can't get a 

1245
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,520
receiver at the back of the 7th.
The window's closed. 

1246
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:36,480
So you have to do like you have 
6 picks to figure out your 

1247
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:41,160
receiver and this one, because 
everything's pushed up JS NS, 

1248
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,920
the eighth round pick like you 
get the seven eighth turn is now

1249
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,720
actually a viable receiver 
receiver turn that's. 

1250
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,560
True. 
That's very true, yeah. 

1251
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,640
I mean I and I will say is 
pretty. 

1252
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,400
Nice too. 
We we haven't like fully 

1253
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,080
discussed this. 
And I know it's not like it's a,

1254
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,480
it's a pretty simple talking 
point, but like I've been not as

1255
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:02,520
high on Deonte Johnson as Gretch
on underdog, but like, holy cow,

1256
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:06,280
like Deonte, like God, FFPC, 
when we get when we get boosted 

1257
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,880
to the full point, PPR, like I 
do think some of the excitement 

1258
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:14,560
of these guys should get 
ratcheted up and like comparing 

1259
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:18,560
a Deonte Johnson to Christian 
Watson on FPC on FPC versus 

1260
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,880
underdog or even a Keenan, you 
know, to some of these guys, 

1261
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:25,320
like I do start to get really 
excited about that element. 

1262
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:29,440
I've also warmed up a bit on 
Deonte, so yeah, him in the 

1263
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:30,760
seventh round does feel pretty 
good. 

1264
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:32,680
Pretty. 
Stuck to have Deonte and all our

1265
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:36,440
teams this year guys. 
What? 

1266
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,440
I'm hearing from both of you is 
that you're in on Deonte, the 

1267
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:40,320
seventh round. 
Every day. 

1268
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:46,200
I'm not like not like super in. 
I'm just definitely willing to 

1269
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,160
take him. 
Yeah, the one the one spot looks

1270
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,120
very fun to build out of for. 
Sure. 

1271
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,200
There's just so much you can you
can do there. 

1272
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:00,480
I mean honestly running back 
tight end looks like a pretty 

1273
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:05,960
fun start or or wide receiver 
tight end running back if if a 

1274
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:10,120
Chan is in range, but that that 
looks like a very fun start 

1275
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,960
pretty much anywhere. 
Yeah, it's kind of crazy. 

1276
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:18,960
The 2-3 tight ends is really 
similar to the 4-5 and underdog,

1277
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:22,960
where the backdraft slots have 
access to Laporta and Kelsey. 

1278
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,400
The 2-3 turn is just the 4-5 
turn. 

1279
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:28,960
Kincaid Andrew's question right,
if you're on the back half and 

1280
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:30,840
you didn't take one of the 
earlier tight ends and you're 

1281
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,160
looking at maybe pits and the 
like at the late 3rd, which is 

1282
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,840
like late 5th and and underdog 
and then the 4th 5th in some 

1283
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,800
ways replaces the receiver 
choices of the two three where 

1284
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,520
you're getting Devonta and and 
Debo Samuel and some of those 

1285
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:45,400
dudes. 
Stefan digs the third round pick

1286
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:48,360
goes late 4. 
You know, I mean, T Higgins is 

1287
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,000
is Kittles late 5. 
He's the. 3rd Kittle a cheat 

1288
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:52,720
code Kittle's going. 
Like. 

1289
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,200
Four spots ahead of his underdog
8P. 

1290
01:02:56,760 --> 01:03:00,040
He went way later in in my Scott
Fishbowl draft too and I think 

1291
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:03,280
people are really concerned 
about the. 

1292
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:07,120
The zeros or. 
The the, the policy, I was going

1293
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,800
to say the PPR ceiling, the 
actual catch ceiling, right, 

1294
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:15,160
like targets and volume, but 
like contingent upside on Kittle

1295
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:17,400
is massive to me. 
If either Debo or I you can miss

1296
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:21,200
his time like he should. 
His target projection goes way 

1297
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,320
up. 
Like he's really good. 

1298
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,080
He's super efficient every year.
I mean. 

1299
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:29,440
Well, the Evan Ingram Kittle 
ADP's are telling that exact 

1300
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,400
story. 
It's they're saying give me my 7

1301
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,400
1/2 targets game I and I want 
to, I want to take those to. 

1302
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,320
The, and is it really cuz 
Kittle's still going to get 95 

1303
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,800
to 100 targets. 
He's not going to get nothing. 

1304
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,480
He's a really good football 
player. 

1305
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,200
So is it really that extra 20 
targets or whatever it is? 

1306
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,840
Is it really worth this? 
And and also when we know that 

1307
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:50,640
there's chaos in season and like
the contingent based upside 

1308
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,120
like. 
It's chasing the floor. 

1309
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:53,920
It's chasing project. 
Cozy. 

1310
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,000
Right. 
Yeah, and, and just being like, 

1311
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:57,600
like, I'm going to feel sick to 
my stomach. 

1312
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,920
Like, yeah, it's cool that week 
I win with 25 from Kittle, but I

1313
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:02,960
don't want to deal with those 
weeks where he scores 2 1/2. 

1314
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,480
And I do think it's possible to 
punt tight end in this format. 

1315
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:10,720
I mean, we the first year we 
went out pee to Vegas, you know,

1316
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:15,400
Matt and Mark were these this, 
this father and son duo that we 

1317
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,640
met out there and they just like
basically didn't draft the tight

1318
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:20,040
end. 
I think they took like one dude 

1319
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,600
in like the 14th or 15th round. 
They won their league. 

1320
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,400
They won their league. 
We did not win our league. 

1321
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,840
They won their league. 
You know it is, it's it's 

1322
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,800
possible to punt. 
I mean, you could do, you could,

1323
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:37,080
you could do Jonnu, Jwan 
Johnson, maybe a Ben Sennett in 

1324
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,640
there, get some upside option 
like you know, you can get three

1325
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,040
or four guys in this range and 
and play it. 

1326
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:46,760
I also think, and I haven't, 
I've been slow to warm up to 

1327
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,160
this. 
I'm coming around, but I also 

1328
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:53,400
think that the Rams tight ends, 
like I would be totally open to 

1329
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,960
grabbing Parkinson and Davis 
Allen to close out of draft 

1330
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,800
1920. 
Give me those, give me those two

1331
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,400
tight ends and they're going to 
play someone. 

1332
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,960
Give someone 75% of the routes 
and we're we're golden. 

1333
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:10,040
Same thing with the Chargers. 
Disley and Chargers and Hurst, 

1334
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:13,040
like Greg Roman's offense 
features tight hands somewhat. 

1335
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:15,960
If they play enough, it's 
certainly possible to be good 

1336
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,360
there. 
It it will be, that will be an 

1337
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:21,120
interesting conversation for us 
from like a portfolio 

1338
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,640
standpoint, because I think 
there's like seven or eight 

1339
01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,400
tight ends that we would be 
excited about drafting in the 

1340
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,680
first six rounds. 
And so just like naturally, like

1341
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:31,880
we're probably always going to 
be like, yeah, let's grab this 

1342
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:33,880
tight end here. 
So it would be like a conscious 

1343
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,320
decision or maybe you get 
smacked in the face with two 

1344
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,000
really good values at like 
running back. 

1345
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:41,000
You get like 2 running back. 
That looks like, all right, 

1346
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,560
let's go CMCHN here. 
Like this just seems fun. 

1347
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:46,120
And then you're like, all right,
this is going to be the punt, 

1348
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:49,000
you know, tight end team, 
basically. 

1349
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:52,640
Yeah, yeah. 
Or I mean, I also am open to you

1350
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:57,040
know, you grab CMCHN and then 
you're running back three is in 

1351
01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:01,280
like round 12, round 13, you 
know, you like really punt that.

1352
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:04,640
Yep, Yep. 
Well, that's fun. 

1353
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,440
We're gonna, we're gonna be 
talking about this stuff just a 

1354
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:09,440
lot. 
Just. 

1355
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:11,000
A lot of more. 
That's my big take away. 

1356
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:13,040
Yeah, we're about to have a lot 
of fun. 

1357
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:17,680
I know you guys, a lot of you. 
It's an annual thing we do for 

1358
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:20,800
the YouTube VIPs. 
We'll get the videos going with 

1359
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:24,040
a ship chasing mini sod when we 
hop in our FFPC main event. 

1360
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,960
We'll let you guys know when 
that gets rolling. 

1361
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,120
And yeah, we're gonna get some 
draft stream scheduled. 

1362
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:31,840
All that stuff, like I said, 
housekeeping stuff, 

1363
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,920
announcements on schedule. 
The one thing that is locked and

1364
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:39,760
loaded, we will be in Vegas that
Thursday and Friday hanging out 

1365
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,080
watching the games and we'll 
we'll organize a ship chasing 

1366
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,360
meet up. 
All of that good stuff. 

1367
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:49,440
Gretch, anything else for you in
the stealing signals realm? 

1368
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:55,560
Nothing major, just did a 
YouTube stream yesterday, was a 

1369
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:58,400
long one but I think it hit on a
lot of good topics. 

1370
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,040
The projection pods with Leonie 
finishing. 

1371
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:03,720
I have like 6 teams left to 
finish all my projections and 

1372
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,640
then I'm going to be able to 
start writing up some content 

1373
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,120
over on the newsletter behind 
that but just still plugging 

1374
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:10,720
away at spreadsheets on the 
projections. 

1375
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,160
Beautiful Gretch, what's going 
on? 

1376
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:14,720
Or Pat, what's going on with leg
up? 

1377
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:20,680
So I just put out an article. 
It went live yesterday morning. 

1378
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:26,480
Just a quick, quick read on some
AT PS that I'm afraid of losing 

1379
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,480
as things get shaken up due to 
training camp. 

1380
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,800
In some cases, it's guys that 
I'm like not hammering right 

1381
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:34,640
now, but then I'm worried 
they're going to rise and I'm 

1382
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,480
going to wish that I did hammer 
them or some stacks that I think

1383
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:39,680
are just super fun right now 
that are priorities for me. 

1384
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,240
So check that out on legendary 
upside. 

1385
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:49,840
We did AI did a podcast with 
Eric Froton today on the college

1386
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:53,960
football, you know, the best 
bowl mania that underdog just 

1387
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,280
launched. 
So that's a it was very fun. 

1388
01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,880
I I know nothing about the 
college football scene really. 

1389
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:05,440
So very fun to kind of get a, a 
sense of structurally how to how

1390
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:08,360
to build there. 
You got to think about 5 weeks a

1391
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:12,200
lot and just get like a little, 
little taste of what the player 

1392
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,120
pool is like over there. 
So check that out. 

1393
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,040
That's we just recorded that 
right before this. 

1394
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,560
That'll be up later today or 
early tomorrow. 

1395
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:21,680
Awesome. 
Yeah, my other show tonight. 

1396
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,720
I got Neil Orfield on the 
randomizer tonight. 

1397
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:26,680
The wheel is locked and ready to
go. 

1398
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:31,000
That'll be a very fun show. 
Tomorrow, Special one off stream

1399
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,479
on my YouTube. 
We're doing the world's fastest 

1400
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,479
slow draft Part 2. 
Going to try to set our world 

1401
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,359
record or break our world record
from last year. 

1402
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,640
And then best ball after dark is
Friday night. 

1403
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:46,040
I'm having Michael Chang on. 
He is a data scientist who just 

1404
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:49,800
did a ton of deep dive into the 
weekly winners data. 

1405
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:51,720
So if you're kind of interested 
in that format, he's going to 

1406
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:54,640
walk me through all of his 
research and some of his 

1407
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,760
takeaways for that. 
And then we'll do a weekly 

1408
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:00,640
winners draft. 
Otherwise, we'll be back next 

1409
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,680
week at our normal time and keep
your eye out for all of our 

1410
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,600
announcements with our August 
schedule. 

1411
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,960
Thanks again to Nick and the 
hopper here helping us produce. 

1412
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:14,040
Thank you guys for accommodating
this early start. 

1413
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:16,880
And we'll, we'll catch you guys 
in the Discord for Pat, for 

1414
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:17,720
Gretsch. 
I'm Pete. 

1415
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:18,439
We'll see you guys next time.
