“There are a lot of movers and shakers and opportunities for you to take advantage of your league mates and make them feel stupid.”
“One of my favorites is to win and then make my league mates feel stupid.”
“The biggest tip is to establish clear roles and have open communication between co-managers.”
“John Harbaugh’s quotes suggest that Mark Andrews‘ injury is not serious nor specific.”
“Yeah. A 20 plus preseason game winning streak.” “We have a variety of Jonathan Taylor rumors. Dolphins have some interest.” “Eagles have some interest.” “The Rams. The Rams have some interest.” “the cost is going to be pretty high.” “the Colts won him back and Jonathan Taylor has mutual interest in that.”
“Adams to Aaron Rodgers instead of Davante Adams. All right. So you want Garrett Wilson.”
“I’m staring down options at wide receiver. Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Chris Olave, and DeVonta Smith.”
“If this was like second and third round or third and fourth round, you know, for that teammate combination, that would be more tempting.”
“I will take Joshua Jacobs. He’s falling into a place in the second round where I believe he’s a good value.”
“That’s the difference to me between Josh Jacobs and Jonathan Taylor. I believe Jonathan Taylor is still injured.”
“I’m going to take Joe Mixon here. I’ll get some exposure to the Cincinnati Bengals offense.”
“I’m going to not be feeling Ramondre Stevenson myself right here because Jalen Waddle and Higgins just went next. I know. I know. It was going to be an easy slam on Ramondre. PPR League getting two foundational running backs here with 50 plus receptions each. Like you can, I think you can book it. But you’re speaking of Jameer Gibbs. Indeed I am.”
“The wide receivers right now are a tier that I’m willing to wait till the next round because I’m very comfortable in a PPR with a handful of these guys. I want to go look and see where I have these two running backs that I’m deciding between ranked. In a full PPR, I’ve got Ramondre two spots lower. Oh, that makes it easier. Here’s I’m following the rankings. Jameer Gibbs it is.”
“So let me explain the grunts and screams. I took Gibbs, Metcalf, Lamar, Najee, and then I’m one pick away. Jason’s my guy Mark Andrews. Mark Andrews almost fell to the 311. That’s why I love him. So is Ramondre a consolation prize for you? Where do you have him in a full PPR league? Because it looks like 12 to me. Me and you have him at the same spot. That’s not so bad, is it? No. He’s no Mark Andrews, but he’s Ramondre at the back of the third.”
“I am more interested though in targeting a running back here. I have Jacobs and Gibbs. I like Alvin Camero. I don’t know where he’s going to go in this draft. The reception totals are going to be good.”
“I love that you didn’t think there was a running back good enough there. I love that because Alexander Madison was there. Yep. And you said it’s not good enough. Yeah, I like Alexander Madison, but the fact that I’ve got Barkley and Ramon Gray and I only had Garrett Wilson. That’s the tiebreaker for me. He was just, he was bad enough to pass on.”
“I am looking at, I could be the guy in this draft that takes a chance on Givante Williams in the seventh round. Got three running backs already. I could let him develop. He’s got the highest upside of anybody left on the board, most likely the wide receiver. Look, I’d love to take my guy in Johan Dotson, but I don’t have him ranked ahead of Hollywood Brown… I’m taking Mike Williams of the Chargers… I would get a PPR stabilizer in Deontay Johnson to be my wide receiver three, which is a great pick in the seventh round.”
“Also since we’re already detoured, Giants fans, you’ll be happy to know I’m really coming around on your on your team because I trashed you guys earlier this off. I thought that, you know, it was all a sham and window dressing and things were going to fall apart. But I’m believing in what I see from this offense with Darren Waller and buying back into the table and who’s thrown him the ball. Jay, I’m rising a little bit on Danny Dimes.”
“I am going to do the dumb thing here on the sleeper mock draft and I’m going to try to gamble and draft two in the eighth round, not here to stack with Tyreek. So I will go Hollywood Brown. I think the value in the seventh round is ridiculous.”
“I wanted Mark Andrews. He went the pick before me in the third round. I wanted Chris Godwin. He went the pick before me in the fifth round. I don’t like the 11 spot. Yeah. And you should have picked at 10. That’s on you. Stupid team 10. I don’t like you.” 41:06
“I’m looking at my roster and I like Jehan Dots and I like Jordan Addison a lot and I like James Cook. So I’m going to play the ADP game here and try to get two of those three players. I’m giving the fact that given the fact that I like both Addison and Dotson, I’m going to take James Cook first. So that will add him to Saquon and Ramon.” 41:41
“Cook and then Dotson and Addison. So you got sandwiched. Cook and then Dotson and Addison. So you’re are you kidding. I wanted Dotson or Addison. That’s all I wanted. I’m like, Oh, there’s two of them. And and Dotson was really low in ADP. So I took Cook to make sure I was safe. And then both of them. Not one. Both. This is ridiculous. This is beautiful.” 42:00
“We’ve talked about the value of a stack. The fact that it actually is injecting volatility that helps actually provide W’s. It’s a smart strategy, not just in basketball, but in redraft leagues. But we haven’t talked about the fun of a stack. The enjoyment and the entertainment and how long you get to stay in a game. You’re down by a ton in your weekly matchup. And it’s a Sunday. And it just you until that game is over, you still have the hope because one deep pass when you’ve got the quarterback and the wide receiver, you get a 60-yard touchdown and you score 20 points. It’s glorious.” 43:17
“So I’m trying to make my calculator decisions of I love Antonio Gibson, especially in this PPR situation. The Brian Robinson is the starter, but at least through preseason, what it looks like, it looks like they’re alternating. Like not just a Antonio Gibson is playing only the McKessick role, only passing situations, but they’re just they’re they’re spelling each other and that could turn in if Gibson is the one who is a better pass catcher that could turn into some real PPR value. And then of course, Zay flowers, my darling. Yeah, my my my rookie love for this year. He is there.” 44:16
“There’s some exciting other guys to fly on it with in a deeper league but Skymore is the starter.”
“Mingo is going to have a chance from day one and I love taking late round rookies.”
“If this was your team in real life you’re drafting, I think you would take Rahim Moser over Zemmier.”
“It just feels bad if Jacobs did miss some time and somebody else picks up Zemmier White.”
“Does he go right back into 70% of the snaps or does week one he get 50% of the? I think week one 80% of the. I think I’m going to go right back into the 80%.”
“I think that’s how they treat it. He’s the rushing champ. Sure. He’s literally holding out because of his value on the roster and he’s by far the best running back.”
“Tank Bigsby who I think can do something special without an injury in front of sure Jaylin Warren can be a flex option on certain weeks without an injury ahead of him.”
“I was really happy with the roster Tyree kill Kenan Allen Mike Evans in Hollywood at wide receiver. Josh Jacobs Jameer Gibbs Miles Sanders Khalil Herbert in Rahim Mostert and running back with Tua and Dalton Kincaid in the ones these spots.”
“I’ve got Justin Fields at quarterback and Dallas Goddard at tight end and running back I’ve got Saquon Barkley Ramondry Stevenson James Cook and tank bigs be.”
