Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.
Oh, welcome in Happy Mock draft Friday. Andy, Mike and Jason, the fantasy footballers joining you. Big draft weekend. One of the biggest of the year, if not the biggest. We're so close to football, it's time, and so we want to get you prepped up. And mock draft is a good way to do that.
Yeah, there's football tonight. I noticed this year we have omitted the entire preseason. There is no, is not football time until real week one, kickoff. Mike.
Yeah. The preseason is just, it's not what it once was. So, I mean, I'm excited. I like the preseason. I watch as much as I can endure. But, you know, it's not, it will be soon, though. It will be the real football time.
Well, we have, we've got news to talk about before we get into our mock draft. And today we're gonna have the Deucers. We'll all be picking different teams. But then we've got four members of our team taking up some of the mock draft as well. So it's going to be a little bit of a different ride than we've been used to. It should be fun to get us prepared.
Yeah, people, people have been saying, you know, when you mock draft against a computer, that it's helpful. That is a good resource, a good tool. It is not quite as good as being able to mock draft with real people. Or oftentimes when we mock draft, like, we've got this, this doc, for our league of record, I call it the skeleton key. You can find links online for it, but we do it by hand. Like, I will draft every other person based on what I know. And people been saying, like, you know, these, these drafts sometimes are too easy because the computer we want to draft against other people, they just didn't know that the other people we would find would be worse than the computer.
Yeah. Take a computer and then, like, I don't know, like, take out some of the ram.
Yeah. It's missing some ones and zeros.
Right.
And then you get deucers.
So. Yeah, well, I, that didn't last long. I told them I probably wouldn't talk about their teams. I wouldn't make fun of them. But I was talking of them as a group. And as a group, I kind of let myself jump right in there.
We can't really help ourselves. The water's warm.
I'm not saying nothing over here.
No. Are you are in your heart, you're.
Afraid they're gonna, like, put up a fight in the draft.
What?
What? Why would I be afraid of them?
There he is. There it is. There he is.
We have a mock draft shortly. We've got a big trade to talk about. We're recording this episode a little bit earlier than we normally do because we are heading to Los Angeles for our live show. Yeah. On Saturday evening. Tickets, a handful available@ballerslive.com. if you want to get in there. And the big announcement this week, and I checked the count this morning before I recorded. We are up over 8000 people in the Megalo bowl, the world's largest fantasy league, each and every year. It's a great time. It's a chance to come and draft with the foot clan and you can learn all about how to join@megalobull.com. like, I set up over 8000 over the last couple of days have joined. And you can pick your draft spot. We're drafting August 31 through September 1, your draft time.
Draft time.
Yeah. You don't get to pick where you want that fair. You don't get to pick where you're at in the draft just when you are available to. Yes, but we have a bunch of times in there to kind of meet everybody's schedule.
Yes. Several days, a couple of times each day. And then the winner of the Megalo bowl every year gets to play with us in the next listener league automatically. So if you don't have the talent, creativity, personality to, like, win the submission process, you can just, you could just automatically get in by beating everybody in the bag.
You could have gone like, the good fortune to be selected, but you went with like, they're devoid of talent, ability, skill, personality.
You are arm ready to dunk on people, man.
What's the coffee situation this morning? Because we know you've been bouncing around with the caffeine. You've been testing different brews and some of them are impacting your cardiovascular system differently.
This morning was a double espresso.
It feels like it.
It does.
It really does.
It does.
All right, I'm looking forward. Let's walk.
Draft baby. News and notes from around the league presented by USAA insurance.
Well, we did have big news this morning when we're recording this show. So you're listening to this. This happened yesterday. The Eagles and commanders inter divisional trade took place, and it's a big one. It's a big one for your future hopes and dreams of a player that had a lot of potential as a first round wide receiver who had a nice rookie season and is no longer a member of the Washington commanders. Jahan Dotson, you know, the. The vibes. The vibes were spot on with Jahan Dodson.
We were.
We had said that the team is just saying some things about, we don't like the fact that they're still trying to figure out who a wide receiver two is. Well, it's not Jahan Dotson because he's been shipped out the door to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles send a third and 7th. The commanders sent Jahan Dotson any fifth. The Eagles had been really looking to find somebody to step up as a wide receiver three in this offense. That's why you got the Paris Campbell acquisition. That's why you had talk of Johnny Wilson, and Jahan Dotson is who they went after. And it's close to the season. This is a pretty big deal.
Well, he doesn't need to learn a playbook. He just needs to learn.
Okay.
When you're on the field, you run that way. You run down the field as fast as you can do.
It is a, I think, a valuable but not fantasy, consequential pickup for the Eagles, because barring injury, I don't think any of us are looking at Dotson is viable in any capacity. He would be, at best, an undrafted gym type of player if an injury took place.
Yeah. And from a dynasty perspective, I think.
The actually after a sound effect for his dynasty.
Oh, yeah. Is it similar to a falcon?
Oh, did you want me to go?
Yeah. I thought this is more indicative.
Yeah, I.
His actual value is currently circling. Let's keep talking.
And they hide the toilet from me, or am I just blind?
I. I don't know.
Whatever.
All right, well, there was gonna imagine a toilet sound. There it is. There.
I still don't see it, Al. I'm sorry.
I. I think he's good for a couple long touchdowns, though, for Jalen. Hurts.
So the interesting thing on the commander side is that we know Terry McLaurin is the number one bona fide, you know, highest target option in the offense for Jaden Daniels. We had heard and seen on the field through two preseason games a rapport built with Diamond Brown. He was on the field way more than we expected last year because we hoped Jahan Dotson was like, this kind of happened, like the team kind of, mind you, they changed head coaches and offensive coordinators. But we were hit in the face with the Jahan Dotson disappointment early last year, and we continuously would come in here and say, diamond Brown caught the touchdown today. Or, you know, it was obviously they had Curtis Samuel in the offense and it wasn't Dodson. Now Diamond Brown profiles to line up outside opposite of Terry McLaurin. Didn't take me long, but I watched every diamond Brown snap this morning, every route.
You saw all 168 yards on the season.
I saw all Sam Howell missing a burner down the field. Diamond Brown is a burner.
Do we have a, is this a Nico Collins situation?
No, no, because I I Nico, I I could see being an upper echelon talent, and we would call that out and hope for a better quarterback. Diamond is a kind of middling route runner with burner speed, and there were three or four touchdowns that were 100% Sam Hal can't throw the football. It was so similar to when you watched Darnell Mooney with Justin Fields. But when you look at, you know, for a dynasty league, you should pick up diamond Brown. I mean, you should. Somebody that's going to get targets and snaps. He's a nasty boy. But when you look at, can I find a diamond in the rough long term on this roster that isn't Terry McLaurin? You got to bring yourself to the conversation about Luke McCaffrey, a third round rookie. Even if he doesn't profile as a starter this moment, you know, cream rises to the top, right?
Yeah. And I think Luke McCaffrey plays a large role in them wanting to ship him out because this, this isn't like they, they're still looking for their wide receiver, too, because I don't think it is diamond Brown. Danny Brown will be on the field, but I don't think he is talented enough to really be who they want to have in that slot in the future. But they had moved Johan Dotson to the slot. Luke McCaffrey is more of a slot type player. He was a late transition to wide receiver from quarterback, and he's good. I actually, I like his tape. He had good production in his final season. He is a McCaffrey, which that doesn't always mean anything just because you're the son of, you know, a hall of fame player. But when you've got like, you know, multiple, multiple great players in the family that, I mean, like the Watts, right? The Watts. The, I mean, yeah, but is he.
The Austin Rivers of this situation?
I believe he, I mean, he was a third round pick. He did not get enough.
See the Seth curry.
Ooh.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Yeah. I'm just asking.
He doesn't profile to be some breakout superstar. He's not going to be Christian McCaffrey of wide receivers. But I do think he is. I think, I think he's a quality player. He'll be on the field. He'll have a career. And in many rookie drafts, I've seen him go on draft.
Right now, Zach Kias is the slot receiver for the commanders, and McCaffrey will be competing for opportunity. Terry McLaurin, I, you know, I moved him up a little bit in the target, in the target share. I, I'm kind of big, big in on Terry this year.
I can see that it, the Datsun wasn't really factoring in a ton to my projections, so it didn't really move Terry for me.
Dotson Rantaine, the fifth most route in the NFLs.
Yeah. Cardio King.
So something interesting, and this offense is.
Cliff Kingsbury off offensive mastermind.
I saw something this morning. I don't, Kyle, maybe you can shout out who shared it, but there's, there's been, you know, the commanders have 19 screen passes in preseason, and the next closest team is ten. And nothing screams cliff screens Barry.
Nice.
Then that kind of a situation. I really hope Hayden Winks shared that.
Really hoping. This is like a hide your cards, hide you, hide your hand before.
No, it's not. No, he doesn't have it. Like, he's showing you what he's got all the time.
I heard Josh Norris. He also works with Hayden Winks. Breaking down of his time to throw was lower than anyone else's time to throw last year. And his yards per attempt. Who was Jayden Daniels?
Oh, I got you.
And then the yards per attempt was lower than anyone else was last year. The status, something like that would have.
Just like, well, when you have 19 screens, that makes like, what are we doing here?
Well, it's managing a rookie. You know, maybe it's, it's part of it. Bo Nicks was named the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos. Excited to see that. Sean Payton finally, you know, came out and told us what we knew. It'll be an interesting situation there to see a rookie. It's hard. I mean, it's just hard to start week one and be productive, and it's hard to provide fantasy value. We've brought that data forward so many times in just, you know, how hard it is to sustain a wide receiver, one that isn't a hall of famer, that you don't get double digit touchdowns from somebody. Like last year we had Courtland Sutton. Despite Russell Wilson, he was a double digit touchdown guy. That doesn't happen. What happened with this rookie quarterback?
It's. Denver's not very exciting for fantasy.
No. All right. Elijah Mitchell, J. Jordan Mason both returned to practice on Wednesday. So the Niners backup running backs getting healthier before they can get hurt again. And Dennis Allen. Dennis Allen, always part of our news. We like to bring you the positive spin of sports. Doesn't believe Rasheed Shahid's toe and foot injury would keep him out for an extended length of time.
Okay.
That's also, to me, a news report on Rasheed Shaheed's toe and foot injury, because I don't think I was aware of that.
I am just happy that missed a little bit. We have news of an injury where, to my knowledge, Dennis Allen is not dunking on his player for being injured.
Did you go watch the whole kindred Miller presser? Because I saw the whole thing now.
I didn't see the entire. I watched the. I watched the clip.
Are we out of context?
Yeah. Teach me.
No, I mean, like, because you want to hear the whole thing to get the context. And context is he sucks. I mean, Dennis Allen is this cross between curmudgeon and unfiltered and worn out and tired.
Stressed. He comes across as so stressed.
Like, he just, like, sometimes, like, Mike said it yesterday, don't be that honest. You know, just protect your player. Don't be so honest. You're like, he just constantly was like, I don't know. I don't know what he can do. I got no idea. He's never here. I know he's got talent, but I don't know what he can do.
I'm a big baby.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
All right. That was today's news and notes presented by USAA insurance. Learn more@usaa.com insurance. We'll take a break and we'll jump right in to a mark a lock a ding dong. All right. Coming back from the break, we did check Jason's caffeine levels? They're very high. How's the heart rate?
It's pretty good. I'm at a resting 120, so.
So you. When you get into a mock draft though, that's pretty normal, right? Your mock drafts are.
Yep. Yep. Never been under 100 in a mock.
Okay, let's, let's jump in to.
The fantasy footballers mock draft.
Well, this should be a fun one today. Twelve team half PPR, quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, a tight inflex and four bench spots. Jason drafting from the number two spot. Mike at the 6th spot. I'm at nine. But we've mixed the team, the squad, the foot clan, staff, all mixed in, producers and losers alike. B cat, our video guy at number three, Kyle. Kyle's drafting at the five spot. The Falcon dumping on the seven spot. And then Papa Josh, who, he's at ten and he's worried about me sniping him.
The Falcon is very pumped. That sleeper has an app on the phone.
Yeah, he can take you with him from his laptop, from the toilet.
I. And for those watching on the YouTube channel, as we kick this draft off, we. I just hit the start button. For those watching, I was feeling a little bit, just a teeny weensy bit, like a small part of me, just a little bit worried and guilty about maybe focusing so much on his bowel habits.
Right.
And then I roll into this mock draft today and I'm see, I got Jason's face, I got catching, ugly face, I got Kyborg floating head. And then I'm looking Papa Josh looking, you know, elderly. And then what do I see? Is the falcon front and center. He's got a toilet avatar. So, you know, this is what, this is the position we put our staff in, is when we decide what you are.
I.
You decide to embrace or not embrace it.
That is such a long flush.
Is that right? Yeah. How are you after you had the opportunity to drop the. The mailbag? Drop? Oh, I had nightmares last night. Yeah, you said you blacked out. We've got the screenshots of you sweating. It was fun. Still crawling. Ya know, you were. At least you did it. At least you delivered. You could have gone silent or sprinted out of the room. All right, we're into the mock draft. The first pick off the board, Christian McCaffrey. Sorry, Jason.
Ah, darn it. I thought for sure he'd be there for me too. This is really easy. I'm going to make this quick and seamless. There's three top picks in every draft. CMC Tyree kill CD lamb the last time I was near this spot, I took Tyreek. So I'm going to go CD lamb. Plus you got Tyreek with the thumb injury. You can call that a tie breaker if you want. There's. There's no right answer, so I want to go different.
Yeah, I get it. You're going to get to see how your team turns out that way. The lamb contract, it's the thumb injury of financial issues right now, but it's not fun. McCaffrey off the board. Jason went CD lamb be cat goes Tyree kill no fear at number three, Jamar chase off the board at 104, leaving the Atlanta native Kyle the borgo homer to take Bijon Robinson. Just a reach for the homer.
What a reach. Only because he is an Atlanta Falcons fan, and that is a joke. There's a great pick. Bijon deserves to be about that spot in the draft.
That puts Mike on the clock at one oh six. Mike, what are you thinking here in your first round?
So it's, do I start with a hero running back? Do I take brief hall or do I go with almond Ross St. Brown Amon Rod just so unbelievably dependable at the wide receiver position.
I'm looking at his week one line.
Yeah. Yeah. Sleeper picks. Line is it's at 87 and a half receiving yards. Like it's an over under a 51. It's in Ford Field.
We love that early schedule.
Yeah. He averaged over 100 yards at home. I I love that. But I am. I'm gonna start with Brie saw.
I hate you.
I hate you.
I'm gonna start that way and just. And see how my mock unfolds.
It is the right thing to do. For some reason, it won't go brief over.
Amen.
Rock.
I would. Yeah. And at 109, although I do. You know what, just to be transparent, I I put feelers out on Amon ra. On dynasty. In our dynasty yesterday. Sorry, not the dynasty league.
In our league of record. Oh.
Cause he's a keeper and I just.
Good luck, man. I have not been barking up.
I've never had. I've never had him on a roster. And I just. I'm so excited about Detroit. I think they're going to win the Super bowl this year, so I wouldn't have minded the pick, certainly, but Bruce hall just seems so, so reliable. I I wanted you to pass on him because there's always a chance that he makes it to like 108, 109 brief briefs because of the fact that, like the names, right. I mean, I've got AJ Brown and Amon Ross St. Brown and Justin Jefferson. Yeah. So brief goes at 106. The Falcon went with Amon. Ross St. Brown at 107. You know, Tyreek and Amon ra feel so. They just feel so safe. Like, they do feel safer than Jamar Chase feels. Those two picks. Would you not agree? I mean, chase does not feel as safe as Amon. Ron Tyreek there.
I don't know that there is as safe a pick as Amun Ra. The ceiling we saw last year when he had, you know, the touchdowns flowing, the type of player he is, you don't necessarily expect him to be a double digit touchdown guy. So I. I do worry that he'll come down a little bit, but the. The consistency that every week, you just know you're. You're never getting goosed from.
Yeah. Their office doesn't function without them, for sure. Jefferson goes at one oh eight, leaving me on the clock with some options here. This is. I mean, 109 just screams Jamir Gibbs all offseason. It just seems like the Gibbs decision is there. We also have AJ Brown on the board, and that those are the two players I am looking at is Jamir Gibbs. It's AJ Brown. Papa Josh drafting behind me. Quick turn. You know, you start to look at this point, do you. You know, do you like what you're taking at running back in the second round? Whether Chiron, Saquon, Henry, those guys a chan, or do you like coming back around to the puka, to the Adams and Harrison? And I. I look at that and I think AJ Brown is a tier above those guys. And so that's the pick I'm going to make here. I don't go wide receiver first round often, but I'm going to do it today. So AJ Brown off the board, giving us six wideouts and three running backs to the first nine picks. Papa Josh went with Gibbs at 110. Saquon off the board next. And Garrett Wilson rounding out the first round.
Is Garrett Wilson currently a pick that gives you pause?
Yeah, for me he is. I mean, Garrett Wilson didn't finish as a top 30 wide receiver last year. And obviously, we're just saying it's completely because the quarterback situation was bad.
Yes, I am.
But there are plenty of. I mean, are you saying that all of the guys ahead of him had good quarterbacks? Because that's not true.
I am saying that every player in front of Garrett Wilson had a better quarterback. Yes.
Well, that's better. Sure. In a sense that you can't be much worse.
That's exactly what I mean, is like, there was bad quarterback, quarterback play all over. There always is. But the jets was. That was special last year.
All right, so heading into round two should be interesting. We get Marvin going at 201 again. That feels like where he has been going. Jonathan Taylor at 02:02 so a little Saquon. Jonathan Taylor stack for team eleven. Papa Josh pairs Jamere Gibbs with Puka Nakua at 02:03. My thought process with Brown was that I'm going to like the running backs coming back to me more. That's what happened. I am very happy to, to take a guy that's going to probably go by his teammate many, many times. But I'll take Kyron Williams at 02:04 in this draft pairing with AJ Brown. Feel good about that?
No, I love that. I mean, both of those guys, I think are the type of player that could finish number one at their position that is not being drafted like that. Right. You don't put AJ Brown in the CD, the Tyreek category. You don't put Chiron in the Bichon briefs category. But they really are on a per game basis capable of that. Their offense, their talent. Pairing those two guys together at the back of the first is very nice.
All right. Team eight went with Olave after my Chiron pick. And then Debo goes to the Falcon, who goes wide receiver. Wide receiver Amon Ra and Debo Samuel putting Mike back on the clock. Mike, while you're thinking about that pick, we did not talk about one thing with the Datsun trade. I drafted AJ Brown in the first round. It's not that Brown or Devontae Smith would be hurt. But do you look at this as at least a minority upgrade to Jalen? Hurts in the sense that, like if an injury happens to those guys, we're not staring down Johnny Wilson to step up and provide him fantasy value.
I. Yeah, that, that's not even how I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about it from that, that Dotson will have a couple long touchdowns and that's, that's good stuff for Jalen. Hurts. So, yeah, I think it's a small upgrade for him. Not enough that I'm going to make a move of putting Hertz over Allen, but, you know, just, it helps things out. So I took brie saw with my first pick. I am going there. I mean, there's so many guys here that are delightful of, you know, especially in my, my guy category.
Give us some of the names of what you're thinking about.
Well, I mean, you know, I don't mind. I don't mind the, the reach here to take Nico in the second round. You know, wide receivers. It's London Adams.
I. You.
That's why. That's why, to me, Niko is the pick at wide receiver. But where I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go high t. And despite.
Well, based on yesterday's take, right.
Yeah. Who you are.
Thank you. I've always been this guy.
Just clip that out, everybody.
And despite it being Jason's my guy.
Oh, whoa.
I am Isaiah Pacheco. Pacheco is very, very high in my rankings. He is.
This was above Henry. This was above a chance. Yes, above ETN.
Like Christian McCaffrey, Bijon Bris hall, chiron. And then after that, I'm, you know, taking. Calling your shot of who I think can really finish as a top three guy. And I think that things can bounce right in a volume department for Pacheco, for him to finish top three.
You two have been the leaders of the Pacheco parade for sure, and I'm interested to see how that plays out. Kyborg, let me know. Now, Kyle, you would have taken Isaiah Pacheco with your next pick. So, you know, Mike got his guy there, even if it's slightly.
Yeah, that's early. That's. But that's how some drafts are gonna go.
I mean, I obviously don't have any problem with that. I love him. I. The one that was questionable to me is taking him above Devon a chan. Like, I would rather have a get it.
I get the. The rocket fuel, but I'd rather take a guy who I know that he's. Well, he had the fourth highest running back attempt share last year. That's not going to happen. Yeah, me, it's a full bet on efficiency, which, with Hn, it's not a terrible bet.
Pacheco's current sleeper adp is 303. You got him at 02:07. So you had to grab him. He would have been gone. Nico Collins goes to Kyle next. Drake, London off the board, as he often does in the second round here. And then B cat with Tyree, kill in the first, goes ETN in the second. That feels like a pretty good value to me, grabbing him there. I mean, he could have gone as high as 202, 203, Etna, 210. And then. Jason, I see you've already made a pick. You didn't even want to wait for me to, like, put the ball on the tee. You're like, I'm swinging before the ump is back.
I'm still on the clock with my next pick, but I had the strategy coming back to this second and third round turn that I was going to try to take Devon a chan with my first pick and Isaiah Pacheco with my next one. Turned out that when I got on the clock, Derek Henry was there. I played the ADP game to try to pair Derek Henry with the von a chan.
Would you if that.
So you took Henry.
If that were a. A human in spot one, would you have played the game?
I would not have. Okay. I would have taken a chan there over Henry.
Yeah. Just don't, don't risk that.
Yeah, but, but it worked out for me. Having cd lamb at the top, being able to pair him with two, in my opinion, stud running backs Derek Henry and Devon a chan. And a chan always feels like I. I love a chan a chan as your running back one is a little tougher pill to swallow. I get that. So as my running back to I. I love it.
Would it be easier to swallow if you just switch those picks but they both went to you still like a chan. What was the first pick and Henry was the second?
Yeah. Yeah. That makes the pill like more a Chan size Henry easier to swap at.
211 than Jacobs and Iukov. The board, you end up with the von a chan with the second pick of the third round. And then James Cook, another fan favorite, goes at 03:03 to be cat. Pairing James Cook with Travis etn with Tyreek.
It's pretty, that's pretty good.
Adams goes next. And then our first quarterback off the board, Kyle goes with.
Oh, so he did go. Jalen hurts over Josh Allen.
Jalen hurts at 03:05 off the board to go with Bijan and Nico. Putting high t, mister Leatherhead himself, the fantasy hitman on the clock. Brief Pacheco and you have the three oh six.
I don't know. I don't want to speak out of turn here, Mike, but based on what you said yesterday, Mixon is.
Oh, yeah, he is very good at football.
He's very good at football. You're high t. I would think about it. Running back. Running back. Running back.
I will think about it. But we're no longer in that segment and I don't like Joe mix it. Okay. It's down to two players for me, Ken Bone Walker out of Seattle. Who I. You guys almost got a take swap for Ken Walker.
I would have liked that.
And it was just I realized, you know, trying to talk you into a player over being able to make you say something derogatory or positive about a player that was too good of an opportunity to pass up. But but as I went through and I was making my case for Ken Walker again, I didn't adjust my stats, but it just, it made me even more confident in his, his running back attempt. His share was, it was top tier before he got hurt. You know, he misses a couple games, he comes back, his share goes even higher. It's, it just comes down to his 8% target share. Can the new OC and philosophy, can that bump that up to like a ten? Because if he's getting the same share, with his explosive nature and a 10% target share made running back, one is easily in the range for him. So it's, it's between him and then my, my guy who. Back to practice, everybody. Great news for Jalen Waddle. I'm really pumped that he is back there because I started high tache. I'm going to take waddle.
All right. Bruce Hall, Isaiah Pacheco. Jalen Waddle is Mike's start to this draft. The Falcon does go. Ken Walker with the next pick, Josh Allen, off the board, another quarterback. So two quarterbacks in the third round here putting me back on the clock. AJ Brown, Chiron Williams is my start to this draft because this is a mock and I think the value is there. I'm going to pull the trigger on a onesie. I mean, I, I told you guys.
I was, I didn't want, I told.
You guys I was comfortable enough with both LaPorta and Kelsey. If they got further down the draft board in the third round and with the quarterbacks going off the board, it knocked them down a little bit.
You see the really curious which one you're going to take.
I'm going to take Sam Laporta.
Wow.
I'm going to take Sam Laporta today. I'm neck and neck with those two guys and we actually, I went Laporta and then Kelsey went next to Papa Josh. So, you know, I am worried about, like, I think accumulation wise, Kelsey and Laporte will be really close. But I'm worried about the second half of the season for Kelsey. If this team does what they're supposed to do, lock the division down and kind of protect Kelsey, then that's a concern.
Yeah. I don't know if you guys realized it because this is the first time I have in sleeper. That's where we're drafting. Kelsey has overtaken Sam Laporta. The ADP has flipped. And I just went and confirmed in the draft kit, you know, looking at the sleeper ADP, making sure nothing was wild, that has happened. Now they're they're both. Laporta was a back end second round pick. He's now more of a middle third. And honestly, that is far more palatable to me as well. I've been just completely off with Laporta because in my head he's dialed in. People are taking him in the middle of the second, maybe a couple picks after and that's. That was too rich. But where you don't mind it here, where you got him, I'm, I'm okay with that. You're really hoping he takes a tear jump because it just in points per game, while he was the number one guy overall for the tight end position, that was a really low points per game and he needs more receptions and more yards.
Well, Kelsey went next and then Cooper, Cup, Evans, Mahomes digs and DJ Moore. A little disappointed. I was playing a little bit of a game, hoping that somehow, some way, you know, I would see whether it's Evans or cup swing back around. Cup would have been another ram on my chiron roster. So at this point, at 04:04, I am looking pretty strongly at the running back position and it's not the sexy pick everybody wants to make, but it's the right pick. And so I'm going to take Rashad White in the fourth round. Rashad White was. We talked about it briefly yesterday. For some reason, there's just like a strong desire to doubt him by the community and I don't. When I watched football last year, I saw a player that was a difference maker on every down for this franchise that made the playoffs and was the best friend of Baker. So I'm going to. I'm going to go with Rashad White.
You weren't thinking about Malik there, huh?
Not really, no. I mean, I just. Not with Rashad White on the board. DK Metcalf goes next. Devontae Smith to the Falcon. And then we see Mike back on the clock. Bruce Hall, Isaiah Pacheco, Jalen Wattle.
So the running backs, I mean, I'm. I have two what I consider top tier running backs. And it's, it's into, it's. It's the dead zone for me of mixing chimera, Aaron Jones. I do like James Conner, Montgomery and Swift, where it's just because I have two of them, I don't feel the urge to jump into the dead zone. I mean, it's a Jason my guy parade.
Oh, your team's going to be delightful.
So Bruce, Al Pacheco, Jalen Waddle, and then looking at my rankings, I have tank Dell inside my top 24. So I think that rounds me out where I feel, I feel strong enough with that base.
So you took tank, Dell, Malik, neighbors goes to Kyle at four oh eight. So he's in. And then Kamara off the board at four oh nine. Another, you know, this round, the two running backs that have gone in this round, I think are the unsexy yet very productive Rashad White and Alvin Khmer. Yeah, it just, it doesn't feel good, but it will.
It it I'm on the side of it should work. But you, it, it feels like you're waiting. You're just waiting for the shoe to drop of what's gonna go wrong.
Not me, Mike. No shoes. No shoes. I'm not waiting for drop on Rashad White.
I'm less waiting on camara. He'll get a billion receptions. It's, it's a more on Rashad White.
We'll take that debate into the season. Catron goes Trey McBride at 410. So Jason, you are on the clock now with CD Lamb, Derek Henry, Devon a. Chan drafting out of the two spot. I, I have noticed, you know, you're, you've got the quick turn. I've got the quick turn on the other side, as does Papa Josh. I really do enjoy that sometimes from a predictability standpoint, it's really nice when.
You'Re within the two picks of the turn and you can look at the team or the two or maybe even three teams that are picking between your pick and your next one. Take a look at their positions, say, oh, they've already got a quarterback. I don't need to do that. There's a good chance that they're not going to draft running back here. You know, use that as a, as a strategy. It's really, really nice. I'm here and I'm very disappointed the way that I had built my team starting cd lamb and then two running backs of the I love fourth round wide receivers this year.
You were hoping for Dell.
I love Devontae Smith. I love DK Metcalf. I love Malik neighbors. And those guys all just went, yeah.
What happened to your plan?
My plan? Trash going a little bit higher. T. I agree with you, Andy. Two unsexy players who are probably really good picks in Rashad White and Alvin Camarae in the fourth round. They're going to put up a lot of fantasy points in boring fashion. I'm going to draft Joe Mixon, who's going to do the same thing.
Oh, we're going fourth round boring.
We're going fourth round quality, boring running backs as my running back, three, I think Derek Henry, Devon, a Chan Joe mix, and that is a solid core I can kind of rely on. And now I'll be focused on finding more value at wide receiver through the draft.
So you found the testosterone after your first round. The. The best part of this year will be when, like, Mike loses to, like, a Rashad white mixing combo in somebody.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm just saying, I'm worried about Rashad White. I'm fully out on mix it. Let's, let's.
I just don't. I literally cannot find the capacity to a path that Rashad White's not great. There's nobody in that depth chart of any that has any impact on Rashad White right now.
We feel like that.
And which, I mean, this was the same thing with Tucker and Edmonds, and those guys are nothing, too.
You're saying that of Bucky Irving?
Yeah, I'm Bucky Irving. He's not a threat to Rashad white. He might be a compliment. I'm not a threat.
You know, the biggest threat to Rashad White is Rashad White. That's my problem.
But you have to have somebody that can come in and do something better than him, and I don't think they have anything close to that. From a workload perspective, I think there.
Is a place in fantasy football for the Rashad Whites, for the Leonard Fournets. Leonard Fournette was someone no one ever wanted because he looked so bad on the field later in his career, and he kept scoring a ton of fantasy points, and he kept going. You can't keep getting away with it. Why are you giving them so much work? That's what Joe Mixon's going to do. That's what Alva Camara and Rashad White are going to do in the fourth. So after me, Lamar Jackson went, Michael Pittman went, and I chose to go mixing because of the wide receivers that were left. The guy that I actually liked the most is a little bit further down in ADP. It was a guy who Andy kind of finally saw the light on. He's a wide receiver, too, for his team, but he's really good. His quarterback's good. The offense should be good.
T. Higgins, I didn't know if you're a lion or not. So you went t. Higgins then at 502 to pair with lamb as your whiteouts with Henry H and Mixon, and we'll take a quick break, come back and talk the rest of this draft. All right, Jason just took T Higgins, Amari Cooper went next. I. You know, that decision between those two guys is pretty interesting.
That was the decision for me. It was. It was between Higgins and Cooper. I like both of those players, but when I look at their quarterbacks, I'm. I'm going to. I'm going to take the one I believe in.
I thought the pick was going to actually be Mark Andrews because it would have been a fifth round. Mark Andrews. You love Mark Andrews. And I suppose the mix in selection kind of boxed you out of him.
Yes, that's exactly right. Mixon being on the board, there was too good of a value. But because I was going into the fifth with only one wide receiver, I feel like I can punt tight end easier than wide receiver.
All right, Mike, you are on the clock. Who's the selection?
So team four took Mark Andrews and then Kyle took Dalton Kincaid. Mark Andrews was a. That's who I was, I thought was going to fall to me. So now, now the tight end pool is either George Kittle or for me, you know, essentially punt. And then at the, at the wide receiver position, it would be between George Pickens and Calvin Ridley. The two of them. I do have Pickens a little bit higher in my rankings. Between, between the two of them. I don't like what's going on with the quarterback situation for Pittsburgh. I mean, not that I believe in will Levis. I'll hold much more of.
But you can't let, you can't let Andy get Ridley.
That is a good point.
That that's how you want to draft is. Well, that's how drafts spiting somebody.
That's how real drafts happened. Real drafts happen when, you know, the guy next to you really wants this dude and you're like, I'm taking him.
I'll take Calvin Ridley.
Hey, I'm going to take a victory lap. That Ridley's a 05:06 at this point. So Connor goes next. I would have taken Ridley this round, though. Congress. Connor goes next. They flowers, who is somewhat, you know, been invisible a little bit.
Yeah.
For discussions. Yeah. And so I'm back on the clock. Kyron and Rashad White. Laporta went the onesie and then Azer Brown was my first round pick. Pickens is jumping out at me as an option here with no Ridley on the board. And then at running back, you know, I could turn, turn to David Montgomery Swift, Ramondre Najee. There's some unsexy options. Or I can go fifth round quarterback and I'll probably gamble on, you know, one guy getting back to me at quarterback in the 6th. And so I'll take George Pickens. I do believe in the talent and he's just, you know, leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the depth chart there. So I'll take Pickens in the fifth round. Consolation pickens that sure Papa Josh goes CJ Stroud and then it goes Richardson, Kittle, Aaron Jones and Kyle Pitt. So four out of five picks quarterbacks are tight ends.
Nice.
Which, you know, I was doing the Kyler Murray, Kyler Murray gamble and it paid off. Stroud, Richardson, Kittle, Jones, Pits, Remondre. I don't want to pick it too quick. Montgomery still there, but I am going to go with Kyler Murray in the 6th round. All right, Montgomery off the board next we've got. Most are going at six oh six.
That's a great pick. Almost as good as the pick that I am about to make the. Make sure you scroll down, everyone. I adp is a powerful, powerful thing that is right in front of your face. But Jay, how far away from the football season?
Oh, you son of a gun. He's in my queue.
Rice. No, I almost took him last round.
Yeah, I mean, it would.
That's where he is in my projections. But I just, I looked at, I studied the field and I felt that they would not.
He was so far down in ADP, I just had him in my queue. Who was automatically like. I didn't even, I wasn't paying attention to this turn cuz I was going to take rushy rice here.
No, you're not.
It was funnier when Ridley was taken from me. Right?
Yeah, that was a good goof.
That was a good, nice goof. All right, Mike went with Rashi Rice here. Terry McLaurin went next to the Borgogan himself and Joe Burrow. So we've had four quarterbacks go off the board in less than round. Roma doomsday goes off the board at 610. And Jason, you are back on the clock with lamb, Higgins, Henry, a Shannon. Mix it.
Yeah, I'm, I'm here and I'm a little upset. Terry McLaurin would have been a great option for me here to go with Higgins and Lamb. Unfortunately, he left at wide receiver. The guys that are on the board I'm not super excited about.
Still more chiefs wide receivers you can take.
Look, Xavier Worthy. I'm fine taking a shot on him. He's an exciting speedster. Rookie first rounder for Mahomes. This is a guy I believe in the talent of. I do think rookie year you're going to have rushy rice. Really? Be like, I like Xavier worthy in dynasty, but I'm not going to take the shot here. Instead, I will go with the wide receiver that Andy besmirched yesterday, Jaden Reed. I don't believe everything Mike wrote for him. I think Jaden Reed is talented. I want shots of good off.
There was some stuff in that that was really upsetting.
What?
I got it. No, it was down.
Wasn't the hardcore statistics about regression?
No, it was the subjective opinion about talent.
Oh, when you called him mid, why.
Would you do that?
When I said he was fine ish.
Yeah.
And mid and not talented. So garbage.
Yeah. So now here I am. I'm on the clock.
You took Jaden Reid.
I took Jaden Reed. I'm looking at my options across the board. I've got what I think are three good wide receivers, three good running back. So I'm taking a look at the onesie positions, tight ends or whatever. I don't care about them at this point. I'm not going to draft a tight end till late. I'll probably end up with like, Pat Friarmuth and I'm personally fine with that quarterback. I could stack cd lamb with Dak and that is a little bit exciting to me. I haven't ended up with Dak anywhere. I could also stack Jaden Reed with Jordan Love and then, you know, play the game for Jaden Daniels later and wide receiver. I'm not excited, so I am. I'm going to do that. I'm going to have fun. I'm going to take the Dax CD stack that won people championships last year and hope they stay on fire.
I think it's a great pick. I think it's perfect for your team and I think it's a value. So both of those things, like clicking the button on Kyler above deck, is still hard for me to do. I think Dak is has proven how dominant he can be for fantasy purposes and then you get the correlation. That's great. Naji finally goes at 07:03. Great value there again, Pollard off the board and Godwin. The next three picks. Mike with Bruce Hall, Pacheco, Waddle, Dell, Ridley and Rice has the seven oh six.
This is going swimmingly because I evaluated this turn to see what positions they were going to need to pick. Three of them had a tight end. New Jason always disrespects Schmidt, disrespects schmeven schmengrum. I thought I would be punting tight end, too, but in the 7th you did I. No way, man. Yeah, I'll be taking Evan Ingram.
You just did it. You successfully punted tight end.
I love Ingram. I'm with Mike Brock Bowers went next. We got.
Where was he last year?
I think he was like two or.
Three because of week 18. Before that, he would not have been two.
Yeah, but they got rid of some of their wideouts.
Oh, in the 7th, I think that's. I. I said I'm punting because I figured there was no way that Ingram would keep falling.
Bowers, who we got word would be available for week one with the injury scare. Kirk goes next. So a couple of jags, depending on your definition of that. Jaguars go two picks apart. I'm back on the clock. I've taken a couple onesies. It's a little bit different here. Kyler was my pick last round, but I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take the shot on the rookie. I didn't think he would slip all the way over to me, but I'm gonna take Xavier worthy at 07:09. I loved what I saw in the preseason. When you talk about he could have half the receptions as Rashi Rice and the same amount of fantasy points, that's the kind of player he is. And the separation downfield. McConkey goes next. Mere White, Nick Chubb, Gervonta Williams and Zack Moss going into the 8th round. Austin Eckler off the board to Papa Josh at 08:03 and I am back on the clock, boys. I'm going to take the discount on Jalen Warren around behind a very underrated Najee Harris. But Warren's supposed to be healthy and back out there in week one for this team that's going to run the football with Arthur Smith.
And he is the more explosive player and I think the more valuable player. So I'll get him around later. And Addison and Jalen Daniels go next.
Yeah.
So Jayden Daniels again, this is, this is more, I think, in line of you're going to have people who are willing to go in and, and reach for Daniels. So you, in your competitive leagues, don't just expect for sure you can get him in the, in double digit rounds, be willing to go in on him for the 8th. That doesn't bother me. So I started two running backs and have not taken one since. So that's. I got to start bolstering my running back depth. And the first one I'm going to go with, I'm going to take Gus Edwards of the Los Angeles Chargers. All the things I've talked about of, you know, high powered offense with running backs that are drafted late, that's where you go.
Oh, thank you.
That. That's where you want to take some shots. Again, I agree with Jason, who just talked about the sleeper pick of JK Dobbins. I don't mind that shot at all. It's just I think. I think Gus Edwards is a slightly better shot at being the guy.
All right, Jonathan Brooks goes next. Hollywood and Jason. And then Jason on the clock after the Dac pic.
Yeah. Oh, that was thrown it to me. Sound. Really sounded like you were going to continue talking.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, no, no.
You are on the clock.
So I want to bring up the Jonathan Brooks pick. I love it. I was eyeballing him here. I've got three running backs. He could start kind of on the bench. I was curious, though, because this is a pick that I believe that's the, the second running back for, for Kyle. And that's, that's hard to grab a guy that is not going to play to start the season as you're, as you're running back to.
But we're, we're in the nasty boys of 2024 here, and if he's. If you think you have upside in the second half, I think you can try and figure it out.
Yeah, that's fine. I'm, I'm. I wanted to take someone like lad.
McConkie, unfortunately, don't defend Kyle.
Mike, unfortunately, lad was gone. I will take Keyon Coleman. We never know exactly who the great rookie wide receivers are going to be, but pairing one that was highly drafted with Josh Allen, I'll take the shot.
Like that kind of hurt you, like, emotionally.
Yeah, I could see the path. You know, you want to, you want to take shots on good offenses and high draft capital players. So that's what I did.
Najoku and Singletary go next. Jason, you're on the clock.
I feel like I have sufficiently punted tight in enough. I would be okay with Pat Fryer muth later, but here in the 9th round, with Ferg daddy sitting there, I will take Jake turd Ferguson, Christian Watson.
And Jordan love go next. Kyborg on the clock after that Jonathan Brooks pick. I think he's probably eyeballing.
Yep, there he goes for that is. That's the pick.
Jerome Ford. I mean, he played it right. If Jason really was looking at Jonathan.
Brooks, I would have taken Jonathan Brooks.
So.
Yeah, good job, Mike. You're back on the clock after the Gus Edwards pick.
Yeah, so I'm, I'm attacking those teams of four. Running backs, got Gus Edwards. Zach Moss is unfortunately already gone. He would have been my pick in the 8th and then hoping that I could get Gus later. But I will. I'll take the chance on Chase Brown of the Cincinnati Bengals and see if maybe he becomes the guy.
Now. Was that now? Zach Moss went one round earlier.
Yeah.
If you want to see the entire draft board, by the way, you can go to our YouTube channel. That's YouTube.com, the fantasy footballers and check out the entire draft board. It's a fun way to watch it. Couple more quarterbacks going off the board. Golf and purdy in this round. I am back on the clock.
Yeah. The Falcon got almond raw and Jared Goff.
I was eyeballing one name that I hoped fell all the way through the 8th and 9th round that is still there. And the only hesitation I would have is the fact that I just drafted a rookie wide receiver two rounds earlier in Xavier Worthy. But I'm going to pull the trigger here. Yes. I'm going to take Brian Thomas junior in the 9th round.
100%. My build didn't allow me to take him.
I was, I was debating that Washington, my debate between key on Coleman actually thought you.
That was shocking to me that you decided to roll it with Coleman. This time.
It was. Again, I'm trying to focus on the offenses. I. There was Josh Allen versus, you know, Trevor Lawrence. That's all it was to me.
Yeah. Yeah. Makes. Makes perfect sense. There was some, some very hyperbolic, like, hype train chatter, but just that.
Do tell.
Just more Brian Thomas.
Just, just gotcha.
Just that he, he might. It was something like he might have Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, stuff like that's. That was the talk from, oh, some people watching him at camp. Is that. That might be some of the makeup we're seeing. Diance Johnson, Caleb Williams, Trey Benson, tua Brian Robinson and stupid computer teams.
Taj Spears taking all the quarterbacks.
So looking at the lay of the land here, there is one name I'm going to pick up because I've got a Kyron Williams in the second round and I'm gonna take Blake corn.
Oh, that was hoping made it to me.
I'm gonna take Blake Corm at 1004. Second to last pick. And just a little risk mitigation is a great pick.
It's one of the only ones that I look for pairing because of how late he is. If you can get the backup who is pretty much locked in as a great fantasy asset, should your starter go down and you're getting them in the double digits, it's a wonderful pick.
Well, thank you. Jason Goddard and Shakir off the board next. And Mike, you're back on the clock. You've gone Edwards and Chase Brown adding to your running back depth. Ingrams on the roster. You're going to have to select a quarterback over the next two picks and.
I can't risk it anymore with these absolute scoundrels.
Oh, that's why you were so mad at snakes. Yeah.
Yeah, I was going to take two and then I'll have to a waddle. I'll feel confident about that. So now at this point, I'm not panicking because of all the quarterbacks are going, they're flying off the board. I'm looking at the early strength of schedule and, you know, trying to project who's got some good games. Baker would fit the mold of Washington and then Detroit. Matthew Stafford gets Detroit and then Arizona. I think that that is a, that's a, that's a pretty good opening combo of games. It's, it's. Do I go with those couple games or do I hope that, that Justin Herbert is really ready to go for week one? And I think I'm a little nervous about that. So I'm just, I'm going to stream those first couple games with my draft pick and then I will figure it out.
All right. Mike went with Matthew Stafford and then Kyle just.
He had to, he had to kick me right in the. Go nuts.
He hits you right in the Dowels. Yes. Rico doubt off the board. Rico suave, as Mike calls him. Deandre Hopkins goes next. Justin Herbert off the board, which was a choice for you, Mike. And then, Jason, you are back on the clock. You're going to make your final two picks here. So just do them back to back.
Yeah, I need a, I'm going to take a running back and a wide receiver. Both of these I'm looking for high explosive potential that could surprise or get cut. Those are clear to me. And I'm sure that the second one will make it back based on ADP. So I'm going to take Jameson Williams to start. Hope that he finally does what he should have done on the NFL field as the wide receiver. Two for another great offense. And then at running back, JK Dobbins. I brought him up on the sleeper episode. That to me, he's a perfect last round pick in the sense that week one he's either going to be like the starter and really involved or he's not. And then I'm, I either have a really nice pick for a good offense that wants to run the ball a lot or I know exactly who I'm swapping out on the week one waiver wire. So Dobbins will bolster my roster.
All right. I like that. Final pick. Dobbins is going to be a common theme, I think, in all of our drafts this year. Polk, Hawkinson, Dobbs, Mike, your final selection. Anybody you want. So don't take the guy I want.
I hope I do. My wide receiver crew, it's really solid. Of Jalen Waddle, Tank Dell, Calvin Ridley, Rashid rice. So I don't looking at the players who are at the top of ADP, no. Curtis, Samuel, Tyler, Lockett, Jacoby Myers, even Josh Palmer. I'll throw him in there. They're, they're stabilizers. But I don't think that at this point they're gonna, they're gonna really take off and become something huge and them cracking, you know, overdose my lineup over those four guys. If everything goes to plan, not very likely. So with that said, I'm going to look at Adnan Mitchell from the Colts has been getting pub as a rookie wide receiver, but I'm going to take, I'm going to take the shot on the first round wide receiver. I will take Xavier Leggette and hope that he is ready to go and hope he can help turn around the Carolina offense.
Zeke goes next, who would have been in consideration. He went to the Falcon Charbonnet with team eight and I was hoping this would happen.
You got your guy.
My final pick in this draft. I don't draft to trade except for maybe one guy because I know, I know how fantasy players get when they don't have a tight end. And sometimes one big game gets you the opportunity to trade away a tight end and Taysom Hill will be the pick. Multi positional opportunity.
I hear there's other platforms that are adopting. They're moving taste and back to tight end eligible.
Yahoo did it this morning.
Right?
So taste them. Hill at 1109. Like I have done that. Like I've had, I've picked up taste them, had him blow up and traded him before. Like that's been a part of the taste of experience. So if you catch lightning in a bottle in week one, why not?
Well, in this one, Papa Josh is in the league and so, you know. No, no, your league.
He would have been gone with the next pick. Curtis Samuel, who the team is saying they hope will be back for week one, goes with the third to last pick, Lockett. Kind of a moment there with Lockett having him go almost as Mister irrelevant in the draft. I don't know if the retirement ceremony is too soon for him or not. We're going to find out whether the J's intake Washington way off base and then Friar Muth with the last pick in the draft. So running these teams back again, you can see the entire draft board on the YouTube channel. I'm sure we'll share some graphics out my team at wide receiver, AJ Brown, George Pickens, Xavier Worthy, Brian Thomas junior feels a little thin, but also top heavy, a little bit hero wide receiver there. Kyron Williams, Rashad White, Jalen Warren, and Blake at my running back position and my onesies, Kyler Murray, Sam Laporta. I guess it's not a onesie if you take two of them. Taste some hill. Also on the roster as an extra quarterback, tight end, and whatever else they want to classify him as my onesies.
I've got the stack in dak and Jake Ferguson super stacked with CD Lamb. Then I've got t Higgins, Jaden Reed, Keon Coleman, and Jameson Williams with Derek Henry, Devon A. Chan, Joe Mixon, and JK Dobbins at running back.
At running back I've got Bruce Hall, Isaiah Pacheco, Gus Edwards, and chase Brown. My wideouts are Jalen Waddle, Tink Dell, Calvin Ridley, Rashee Rice, and then Evan Ingram. Oh, and Xavier Legatt. I apologize. Evan Ingram and Stafford. Like, so people ask us all the time, where do you really want to draft? Aside from the Stafford pick, this is my favorite team that we've mock drafted so far this year.
So if you would.
I guess I like the six.
Yeah. If you had taken Jaden Daniels a little bit earlier, you'd be.
Or even just, you know, like golf. Or golf. Purdue or tua in in that selection instead of Stafford. Like could happen in a lot of drafts. Would love it.
All right. If you didn't know. In addition to being the number one fantasy platform, sleeper also has DF's picks. You can download the app now and use the code ballers to get a 100% deposit. Match terms and conditions do apply, so let me just get a thumbs up, thumbs down from the Deucers alley over there. Let's see what the confidence level is with the selections today. We got a thumbs down.
Like, we got some sideways thumbs.
We got no thumbs ups.
Wow. Good work, boys.
That's the confidence that we have built up in them. Yeah, that's right.
That's the peak, the real go.
A real Dennis Allen situation.
How dare you?
I.
Hey, I think you do great work, Mike.
I think you do great work.
Thanks, Andy. You know, beautiful team.

Yeah, please come. If you bought tickets like that's important. It's LA. Beat the traffic this Saturday. Yes, tomorrow. Palace theater ballers live. If you want some more tickets. And a shout out to pristine auction because they provided us with a amazing prizes to give away, including just tons of signed jerseys, signed helmets, and we're even doing a silent auction to raise money for fantasy cares live at the event on top of all the giveaways. So it's gonna be really, really fun. And if you're in the LA area, there are a handful of tickets remaining. I believe there is a Bogo right now on the mezzanine seats. Could be buy one, get one for the remaining couple mezzanine seats so you can check that out@ballerslive.com. i think we did it. MVP episode next week. The fantasy time machine next week. Don't miss it. And good luck in all of your drafts this weekend.
Thank you for listening, everybody. We'll see you soon. Goodbye.
You can be better than the deuces.
